Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

While Charles was daydreaming about something, Mernadette pushed the book back.

Although the books that Charles placed on the table looked very simple, the language of the cover was an ancient language.

Any book written in an ancient language would be very expensive. No matter what Charles's motivation was, Mernadè would not accept his gift.

"I can't have this..."

What Charles handed to Mernadè was not a precious book, at least not something precious in his opinion.

It was a Book of the Holy Word.

The first edition of the Book of Holy Words of the Church of Earth and Fertility was written by Mother Earth herself, and every priest will receive a copy after becoming a high priest.

Rumor has it that the five true gods obtained the power of the only creator and established the church according to his will.

Each god was pondering what kind of dogma should be written.

The Mother Earth thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable one, so she simply copied some fairy tales from her time with slight adaptations.

So she took the "Fairy Tale Collection" and went out to preach.

Obviously, compared to other true gods, fairy tale collections have little appeal to adults.

But children loved to watch it, so she had her first group of believers - a group of orphans who had never heard of fairy tales.

When those children grew up, they saw the Mother Goddess still preaching with the fairy tale collection, and they felt that the Mother Goddess was too perfunctory about this matter.

Thus new dogmas and sacred books were compiled.

Comparing the old and new versions, the Earth Mother preferred the fairy tale collection she compiled, but because she couldn't persuade her followers, the second edition of the Book of Holy Words was released.

In addition to the doctrine and the Holy Book, the name of the church was changed from the original "Church of Plenty" to "Church of Earth and Plenty". Only then did the Church of Earth develop completely.

"This was given to me by the lady I mentioned who looks very much like you and whom I respect very much." Looking at Mernadette who pushed the book back, Charles picked up the book and slowly placed it in her hands.

"This isn't anything precious, it's just a collection of fairy tales."

"All I did was return it to its rightful owner," Charles said with a smile.

Although it is just a "collection of stories", it is a collection of stories written by Mother Earth herself.

It contains the power of the Mother Goddess.

Although I don’t know what the Mother Goddess is like now, this may awaken her memory or allow her to remember herself temporarily.

In this way, Charles knew why he came to this era and what he needed to do.

The incarnation of the Mother Goddess has appeared before him. If the Mother Goddess is willing to tell him some things, then he will know without asking.

If he is unwilling, he can only wait and tell the Mother Goddess his request as if he were sending the Book of Holy Words, hoping that she will tell him the truth as soon as possible.

Section 57 Chapter 57 Mother Goddess...Are you testing me?

"The nun said...you can't just accept gifts from others casually..." Looking at the books that were pushed towards her again, Mernadette raised her head and looked at Charles with a serious look.

During the time I spent with Charles, although Charles seemed to have no ill intentions at all.

However, thinking of the terrible things the nun had told her about the outside world, Mernadette still insisted on not accepting Charles' gift.

However, due to her status, although she tried hard to look serious, her body was still shaking a little, and her voice even had a hint of crying.

Ciel froze.

Those who knew would see that I was giving a gift, while those who didn’t would think that I had done something that would anger God and man.

Faintly, his mind seemed to echo with some of the things his teacher had occasionally told him about the Mother Goddess.

"Rocks, one day you will take over our position. Then you must protect the goddess for us..." Looking at the afterglow of the sunset, Alfor said with some emotion.

"...Teacher, I think you said it the other way around."

Guardian Mother Goddess?

Teacher, apart from anything else, in terms of strength, the Mother Goddess alone can defeat the entire church - and that's with some concessions.

Does this kind of strength require protection from others?

"You don't understand... After spending time with Mernadette, you'll find that although she has her own beliefs, she won't make any concessions in this regard."

"But at the same time, as long as it doesn't touch her bottom line, she is willing to sacrifice some of her own energy and time to help others."

"Sometimes, the Mother Goddess herself doesn't fight, but those of us who serve her cannot help but fight."

"Mother Goddess doesn't care, but we do!"

Charles still didn't quite understand.

"In short, there is one thing you must remember. If one day you go out with the Mother Goddess, and she makes some decisions that will damage her reputation, you must stop her. Especially when facing the greedy God of War and Glory." Alfu said angrily, as if he had thought of something.

"Teacher, isn't this a bit too much?"

Me? Stop the Mother Goddess's decision?

Teacher, please don't mess with me.

"Overstepping? If this can prevent Mernadè from being looked down upon by those guys, then what does it matter if it's overstepping?"

"Remember, when you do something beyond the pale for the Mother Goddess's dignity and reputation, if she objects, you must be more assertive, and then she will give in."

teacher...

I feel that what you are saying to me now is something that will embarrass Mother Goddess.

And if I act a little tougher, will the Mother Goddess give in?

I'm afraid they'll throw me straight into the inner world...

Looking at Charles who was silent at this moment, Alfor calmed down a little.

"Of course, this is just one way. If you don't want to, you can choose a softer way."

"As long as we tie some of the things that Mother Goddess gave up to the church, to ourselves, and to everyone else, then Mother Goddess will reconsider whether to do that thing."

"She would give up her own interests to help others, but she would never use any of our belongings to help others."

"As long as it doesn't involve her fundamental principles, she is generally very tolerant of us."

Before, he always thought that what his teacher said was a bit exaggerated.

but now...

Looking at the "incarnation of the Mother Goddess" in front of him, for some reason, Charles suddenly felt like trying the method that Teacher Alfo had said.

The suicidal spirit in his heart was burning - at this moment he especially wanted to play the role of a domineering president and use a tough tone and gesture to make Mernadette accept the book he gave her.

But considering that there are no nightmares, no halflings, and no elves in the inner world... he still chose the second way.

"This book is not just a gift, but also some new knowledge I plan to teach my classmates in the new semester."

"Originally, I wanted to see if you had any interest in this extracurricular knowledge, but now it seems you have no interest."

"You don't even want the textbooks. In that case, I'll just do my homework properly this semester."

In an instant, Mernadette, who had been insisting on returning the Book of Holy Words to Charles, immediately grabbed the book tightly.

For this era, knowledge of ancient history is basically in a semi-blocked state.

The ancient language department will only teach you some ancient languages, but the relevant ancient textual historical materials or things like knight novels handed down from ancient times are all precious knowledge.

During the four years of college life, only in the third and fourth years will you acquire some relevant knowledge depending on the professors and lecturers.

If Ciel was willing to teach something similar in the first year, even if they couldn't understand it yet, they would still gain something by memorizing it.

Mernadette would never do such a thing as causing everyone to lose a great opportunity because of her relationship.

"I, I...actually I quite like this book." Although Mernadèle's character is a little weak, she is not stupid.

She knew that Charles's purpose in saying and doing this was to get her to accept the gift. Teaching her the above knowledge was probably just a reason or an excuse.

However...if I accept this book, the lecturer can really share some valuable knowledge with everyone beyond the classroom.

Even though it goes against her conscience, Mernadè will still choose to accept the book.

Lecturer Rocks doesn't seem like a bad guy, so this book... should be fine...

Looking at the book in her hand, Mernadette's expression became aggrieved.

Mother Goddess...

Are you testing me?

Looking at Mernadette's expression at this moment, Charles suddenly felt like bullying her.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why his teacher sometimes showed a look of despair when mentioning the Mother Goddess.

If the character of Mernadette at this moment is even slightly similar to that of Mernadette when she was the Mother Goddess, it would be enough to make the stronger-willed teacher Alfo feel helpless.

Finally, he once again resisted his urge to commit suicide and looked at Melnadée with a gentle gaze. "Remember to read the little story above carefully when you go back."

"Oh... by the way, these stories are written in ancient Fussa, a language that may be unfamiliar to you."

"I'll give you a dictionary and notes later." Of course, Charles had to make the dictionary and notes himself.

Fussa language, runes, and divine language are the languages ​​that can best leverage mysterious powers in the era of the Shire.

Although the legends about runes and divine scripts are still circulating in this era, the legends about the Fussa language have almost disappeared.

The Fussa language that people know today is a minority language of a destroyed country called Fursalia. The legends about the ancient Fussa language were artificially compiled by Fursalia in order to maintain orthodoxy.

Just like the surname Rocks, it is obviously just an ordinary surname that has been open-sourced to increase reputation.

Many of those with this surname who have achieved success claim to have demigod blood.

Section 58 Chapter 58 For world peace (○｀ 3′○)!

Hearing that Charles was going to give her more books, Mernadette stood up hurriedly.

"Fusa... the nuns taught me before. I don't need a dictionary or anything."

"I can read you the story above..."

As she said these words, Melnadette's face flushed, her expression was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to look into Charles' eyes.

If you can't lie, don't lie...

If the nuns at the orphanage were proficient in Fossa, the orphanage would not have been in such a financial crisis for such a long time.

Looking at Melnadette's cute appearance, Charles couldn't help but put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently.

I'm not blaspheming, am I?

Definitely not. I was just trying to comfort the goddess so that she wouldn't get too excited.

Charles made up an excuse for himself and then patted Melnadè's head a few more times.

"Don't be nervous, Mernadette."

"Fusa is a very niche language. I didn't expect you to be able to master it." Charles said gently.

"The nuns know a lot of minority languages, so I learned some of them as well." Mernadette whispered, but because it was a lie, her words were a little weak and she sounded ashamed.

For her, lying, especially lying to a teacher, is a very shameful thing.

But the nun did tell her about this.

Although Mernadè grew up in an orphanage, she was born with knowledge of certain things.

For example, language and writing.

She could read and write any language or writing that appeared before her.

Therefore, she was regarded as a "holy spirit covered in dust" and "a messenger of God" by the nuns in the orphanage. As a nun deprived of the church, she knew that this era could not tolerate the existence of someone like her. So, as she grew up, the nuns taught Mernadette to lie about certain things.

Although she was not used to and did not like doing this, she still memorized some of the lies taught to her by the nun.

But every time she told these lies, she felt a strong sense of shame and guilt in her heart.

She chose to apply for the Ancient Languages ​​Department of the Royal Academy of Morrowston, which was the last advice the nun gave her.

In this way, if her "innate knowledge" is accidentally discovered, she can also attribute the source of some knowledge to her tutor or the school library.
