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

My father's body is at the front of the extraordinary sequence.

This shows that in her subconscious, the former is more precious than the latter.

"I told you, I'm here to help you realize your wish." Charles picked up his cane and tapped the floor lightly. A strand of Peroz's hair slowly floated into his hand.

Then he pretended to take out a pocket and a mirror from his arms.

He threw the mirror lightly with his hand, and it slowly floated in the air, then changed from the size of a palm to the size of a door panel.

Charles placed Perozzi's hair on the mirror, and a ripple rippled in the middle of the mirror.

After a moment, a white spark flashed in the mirror. Charles' eyes fixed, and then he looked at Peroz.

Silently, he reached out and placed his hand on top of the mirror.

Stains...

Charles had some admiration for Peroz's father, the kind and gentle middle-aged man that he saw in his memory.

The lightning just now showed that there was a trace of demigod’s intervention in this matter.

A Sequence 6 Transcendent was actually killed by a Sequence 3 Demigod.

This person is really good at causing trouble.

This was considered normal in his time. After all, although demigods were rare, they did exist.

But this is the era.

Although the number of extraordinary sequences is constantly increasing, it is difficult for extraordinary people above the demigod level to appear.

In Ciel's perception, the entire Kingdom of York possessed only four Sequence 4 Saints. While the Kingdom of York wasn't the strongest in the Eastern Continent, it was firmly among the top three.

He began to use his abilities of foresight and destiny to investigate the cause of Count Krolov's death and to determine whether to retrieve his extraordinary properties and body.

"call..."

After a moment, Ciel sighed.

"I can bring back your father's body and his extraordinary qualities."

"But you need to give me a copy of the historical records that the Krolov family found during their expedition."

"Also, if you choose a career like your father, if you discover any knowledge about the past during your explorations, you must tell me about it."

Originally, Ciel hadn't intended to do this, after all, the value of the two wasn't quite equal. If it were just reclaiming the extraordinary traits, it would have been a relatively simple matter for him, but with a demigod involved, Ciel's status wasn't enough.

Although he is not afraid of ordinary demigods, he will not offend them for no reason.

It was just that the performance of Peroz's father, Rodon Krolov, made him change his mind. He was so amazing.

With the strength of Sequence 6, he broke into the secret kingdom where three Sequence 3 demigods lived, and sneaked into their ancestral tombs right under their noses, stealing the treasures they had guarded for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the treasure could sense when leaving a certain range, he would have probably escaped.

Moreover, even after being discovered, he managed to withstand three blows from a demigod before being petrified and sealed.

This is no longer something that can be described as having two brushes.

This is a talent.

Charles felt a little sorry for it. Such a person died too early. It would have been better if he had died a little later.

By then, I can subdue him and ask him to help find the truth of history, and then I can go about my business happily.

Although he didn't know who had put him in this era, Charles didn't intend to follow his script.

Before he came out and told her his purpose, Charles would simply pretend that person didn't exist.

Of course, he would not completely ignore that person's face and pretend to be nice.

For example, finding some archaeologists or explorers to help find the historical truth about that period of time in the past - a humble and ordinary demigod suddenly encounters such a thing, so it’s not wrong to be cautious, right?

Accidents are basically non-existent in the extraordinary world, especially when it comes to someone like him, a demigod with a strong background.

There must be someone who is obstructing his coming here.

There is a high probability that he has become someone's pawn, but it is not so easy to use him as a pawn. If there is no generous reward, Charles said that he will not give in obediently.

He felt that a Sequence 2 Extraordinary trait that suited him would be a suitable reward. It would be even better if it also included Sequence 1 Extraordinary traits.

If there were no similar treasures, Charles would at most find someone to deal with it, and continue with his unfinished ideals, preparing to play around in the world and enjoy a few hundred years before considering other things.

Count Rotun Krolov, whom Charles had seen before, was a very good subordinate, or a pawn to deal with the "chess player".

Sadly, he's been dead for almost ten years.

Although her daughter did not show outstanding talent, she should have some talent since she inherited his blood.

Maybe it will bring him some unexpected surprise.

Of course, even if she died early, it didn't matter. He could just strip away her extraordinary qualities and continue looking for the right person.

At first, he was a little anxious, but now he is not anxious at all. Instead, he has the urge to stay in this era for a few hundred more years.

After all, this is the steam age. If he pushes it forward, a few hundred years will be enough time for the electrical age, or even the internet age...

Section 9 Chapter 9 The Technology Tree in Reverse

Peroz Krolov agreed to Charles Rocks' request without hesitation.

For her, the worst outcome would be her own death and the loss of the Krolov family's inheritance.

In fact, this problem has been with her since her father's death.

With the mentality that "no matter how bad things get, they can't get any worse than they are now", Peroz and Charles concluded a fairly fair contract.

"So... now, can you bring my father back?" Peroz looked at Charles expectantly.

Ciel nodded, put the mirror away, and then took out the bag.

He first took out a gem from his pocket and then threw it into the sack.

After a moment, the sack suddenly became bulging.

Something like a stone statue appeared in the sack.

Charles shook the sack, and the stone statue appeared in front of Peroz.

Looking at the stone statue in front of him, Peroz couldn't hold back his tears, which fell like rain, "Dad..."

Roden Krolov, whether in the memory of Charles that Charles received or in the memory of Peroz, was a kind, gentle, good and just person.

But he still died because of his own greed.

Even the corpse could not be returned without Charles' help.

"You... do you know why my father..." Peroz knew that his request was a bit excessive.

But facing her father's body, there were some things she just couldn't tolerate.

"Died of greed." Ciel said casually, "If you want to know more about your father, then make some progress."

"At least let me know that there is value in you."

Peroz didn't speak for a long time. After a moment, she bowed deeply to Charles, then knelt on the ground with her scalp pressed against the floor.

"Can you tell me how to contact you in the future?" she asked.

Charles thought for a moment and took out an object that looked like a lighter. He placed it on the table and said, "Use this to light the bonfire, and then I can see you."

Then he turned and left.

Peroz lay on the ground for a long time without moving.

When she raised her head again, her vision was different.

"Dad...Krolov's glory will not be extinguished in my presence..."

After returning to the room, Charles felt a little awkward looking at the small houses around him.

Although he was born into a poor family, he had slept in the wilderness, in thatched houses, and even on the streets when he was in trouble.

But that was a long time ago. After becoming a Transcendent, Charles changed his stingy behavior and became generous with himself. He was not the kind of Transcendent who lived ascetically. On the contrary, he was a Transcendent who paid more attention to the quality of life.

"When I don't have the ability, I'd be happy even to fight a dog for a bone. But when I have the ability, why would I do such a thing?"

Charles took out the mirror from his pocket.

He began using his ability to predict the future to find ways to legally make money.

"Assistant Professor of Classical Chinese, it's quite normal to find a long-buried treasure by excavating ancient texts."

After a moment, he put the mirror away and muttered to himself.

His Sequence 4 extraordinary path is called Prophecy. He does not need external objects to predict the future. However, in order to hide his own peculiarities, Charles Rocks has many strange "treasures" around him.

These treasures can effectively conceal the characteristics of his use of other sequence supernatural powers.

Over time, in addition to some means of the Earth Path, he would always use something to cover up when using other abilities. This almost became his habit.

A month has passed, and Charles has perfectly integrated into his current life.

At the same time, we also watched some fragments of past history that the Krolov family had collected, which they had unearthed or exchanged.

As an archaeological family, they have done much more research on history and obtained much more information than the university where Charles is currently studying.

At the same time, because they are a family of extraordinary people, they pay more attention to the past of extraordinary people and gods. Although they suffered heavy losses in the process, they also gained a lot of interesting treasures or knowledge.

His mood was influenced by some of the information above, and he gave Peroz two more tasks.

The first one was what the Krolov family had always been determined to do, to find the "holy clothes" and the "ladder". He told her to tell him as soon as she had any information about this.

"Sacred Cloth" and "Ladder" If their family's records are correct, then these two items are the personal belongings of Eternal Blazing Sun.

The second thing is to let her find the "Black Ocean" that ended the Black Fire Age.

There is oil in this world. In Charles' original national transformation, he wanted to use two hundred years to upgrade the Principality of Sewell from written culture to technology to a situation similar to that before his rebirth.

But now, the world is running out of oil.

They were eventually sealed in the "Black Ocean" by one demigod at the cost of another demigod's life.

As for why...He believes oil is the root of all evil.

Seeing this, Charles almost cursed out loud.

In previous eras, extraordinary people were obsessed with their own strength. Occasionally, they would use external objects, but that was only to rely on the power of extraordinary objects.

But the Black Fire Era... this era began when someone used supernatural powers on oil, which is black fire.

Charles himself didn't know that the combination of oil and supernatural power could unleash such powerful force.

According to the Krolov family's collection of books, a special gas can be extracted from the black fire. This gas can kill ordinary people without their knowledge, and even some low-level extraordinary people will be killed if they are not checked.

In addition to poison gas, a kind of combustible gas can also be produced. This gas can be combined with extraordinary power to instantly burst out extremely destructive power.

The material extracted from the black fire later has extremely strong combustion power.

It can be said that it is very simple to transform ordinary substances with supernatural powers. As long as you have a little oil, some supernatural people have almost endless oil to use.

With the addition of some spatial and concealing abilities, Black Fire was able to perform in many different ways.

At the beginning of the Black Fire Era, three high-level transcendents worked together and used black fire to instantly overthrow an empire.

Forty-three million eight hundred and twenty thousand people died because of the Black Fire.

After that, people began to pay attention to this seemingly annoying thing. During that time, due to the use of black fire, some technologies had even reached the electrical age.

The internal combustion engine, the telephone, the car...a series of things were developed.

However, because the black fire in the hands of the extraordinary people is too lethal to ordinary people, the war among the extraordinary people continues to escalate.

As a result, he was gradually identified as the source of all evil by a peace-loving demigod. So one day, he backstabbed a demigod from another team, and then used his body as a sacrifice to take away all the oil in the world.

After he hid the "black ocean" containing oil, he was also killed by some gods who benefited from the black fire.

He holds a high status in history books and is revered as a hero who defended human civilization.

But Charles felt a little annoyed.

"I'm just confused. What wouldn't be dangerous in the hands of a superhuman? Superhumans themselves are dangerous. Why do you insist on blaming oil for everything?"
