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

Section 10 Chapter 10 Rocks in History, Helpless Charles

Originally, Charles was confident that he could guide this era back to the era before he traveled through time within one to two hundred years.

But now... until we find the Black Ocean, forget about anything in the electrical age.

After all, a demigod-level seal involves rules.

Using the demigod's body as a carrier, even if Charles could create oil out of thin air through his power, the moment the oil appeared, the substance would be guided into the black ocean.

This kind of absolute rule can only be broken by finding the projection of the Black Ocean in the main world with Charles' current strength, unless the true God intervenes.

"The oil is sealed. Could it be that it's being consciously guided by me to do something?"

"Never mind. Even though it can't compare to the days of lying in bed and playing games, the Steam Age has its own unique charm."

"It's better than the Middle Ages."

Many thoughts flashed through Charles' mind, especially about the days when he wandered around small towns in the past before he became a superhuman.

Those places can definitely drive people with mysophobia crazy.

In the office of Professor White Endsworth at the School of Ancient Languages, Royal Academy of Moroston.

"Locks, how was your vacation? Did anything happen with the girl I introduced to you before?"

Sitting in the armchair, Professor Endsworth looked at Ciel with a smile.

"Professor, you know I'm not very interested in these things." Charles said with a smile.

White Endsworth was the original owner's mentor and the man who had secured Charles Rocks's stay at the academy. Through observing Charles's memories, he knew that Professor Endsworth admired him.

But the reason is a bit strange.

The reason he admired Charles Rocks was because of his name.

The surname Rocks is very common and is a big surname in the whole world. The origin of this surname is Charles Rocks himself, the demigod of the Church of the Earth.

As a commoner, Charles had no surname, but during hard times he had once played the role of a down-and-out nobleman, a wandering bard, and so he invented one for himself.

The last name is Rocks.

Later, as part of the rituals and speeches for becoming the high priest of the Church of Mother Earth, one of them was to recount all the sins he had committed and resolve to correct them.

Charles brought this up at the ceremony, slightly embellished the reason for compiling his surname, and then swore, "May all people in the world without surnames take Rocks as their surname."

Then in this era, the surname Rocks became common.

Many commoners have this surname, many pioneering nobles also have Rocks as their surname, and there are even royal families with Rocks as their surname in the southern continent.

However, there are many people with the last name Rocks, but there are very few people named Charles Rocks.

The reason is out of respect for the ancient sages.

It is not uncommon for common people to be named Charles Rocks for unknown reasons, but generally speaking, people who have received higher education or have noble birth will not name themselves Charles Rocks.

So during the interview, when Charles mentioned this name, White Endsworth immediately confirmed his position as assistant coach.

The reason is simple. In addition to being a professor at the School of Ancient Languages, he is also an associate professor at the School of Ancient History.

In the School of Ancient History, his research topic is the Era of the Five Gods, and the tomb or relic he most wants to find is the high priest "Char Lockes" of the Church of the Earth who rose and disappeared like a meteor.

As a time traveler, Charles is somewhat out of tune with this world. After coming here, he has not yet made full use of his strength to create the country he likes.

But it has also brought great changes to the world, in terms of systems, culture, and even extraordinary skills.

He is not the most dazzling pearl in history, but he is also a very special existence.

It is normal to be praised by some historians.

"Young people should have the vigor of youth. When I was your age, I was already the guest of honor of countless noble ladies. When the high priest Rocks was your age, he had already charmed thirteen princesses and more than forty ladies from noble families." Professor Endsworth said in a light tone.

Although he is not young anymore, his mentality is very young.

However, Charles' expression was slightly off regarding the content of his words.

Thirteen princesses? More than forty daughters from noble families?

Ciel admitted that he was a little horny, but not that horny!

Moreover...at the age of twenty-two, he had just obtained the ticket to become a superhuman through some special encounters.

To the nobles and the royal family, he was nothing at the time, let alone charmed. Before he became the "Harvester" of the Church of the Earth, even meeting them was extremely difficult...

Although I know that history will gradually be distorted in the process of transmission, it should not be distorted to this extent.

This is simply an insult to one's own reputation!

"You know, the authenticity of this kind of unofficial history is very low, especially since what you are describing is not unofficial history, but rather a description in a novel."

"High Priest Rocks entered the transcendental realm very late, so he probably didn't have so many close female friends at that time."

Charles said seriously.

"That's true. The Travels of Rocks was written by an unknown author in the Age of No God. Hundreds of years have passed since the disappearance of the High Priest Rocks in the Age of Five Gods. It is difficult for the author to verify some historical facts about him." When talking about professional issues, Professor Endsworth's expression became focused.

"But we can't completely deny this book. A gifted person must have unique qualities. During the Golden Age, a tomb belonging to a noble from the Kingdom of Pun was excavated. Inside was a book about the High Priest, Rocks, called 'The Book of Gratitude.' It was mentioned that when he became High Priest, Rocks gave his cane, which he had used for many years, to a certain lady."

"After my research on 'The Book of Gratitude' and 'The Travels of Rocks,' I have initially identified a princess and a duke's daughter from the Kingdom of Pun."

Charles looked calm, but he was a little surprised inside.

His cheap teacher is really capable.

At that time, he did give his cane to Princess Vera, the daughter of Pun XVII, after he hunted down a god and turned his extraordinary properties into a cane.

As for the reason, it's just like the title of the book.

The city where Charles lives is the territory of Princess Vera. Although his life there was not very good before, he escaped punishment many times because of Princess Vera's lenient laws.

At that time, in order to repay the favor and to make friends with the Pun royal family, he gave her the cane that he had used for a long time and was reluctant to replace.

However, the relationship between them is purer than water.

After all, Princess Vera is fifty years older than Charles, and because of her talent, Princess Vera is only a Sequence 9 level transcendent.

When Charles rose to power, Princess Vera had become a very "kind" and "gentle" person...

Section 11 Chapter 11 Who is slandering my character?

"Legend has it that there are more than 100,000 women who have had relationships with the high priest Rocks. It's really enviable." Professor Endsworth did not notice Charles's thoughts, but said with some emotion.

Ciel gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Knock it inside!

Did you hear the knock?

One hundred thousand people, 365 days a year, even if I had been doing that kind of thing since I was born, it would still take more than two hundred years!

I just became the high priest and came here without even going to the missionary country.

Ciel enjoyed a relaxed and happy life, and occasionally he would go to the flower street to look for fireflies. However, due to the church's requirements, he rarely went there after joining the church. Instead, he went to look for some older sisters who liked to tempt the church's priests to "fall".

He counted on his fingers and found that including the sorceresses who had maintained long-term relationships with him to continue the family bloodline, the succubi he had created for fun, and some casual relationships, there were only about twenty of them at most.

Which bastard is spreading rumors!

More than 100,000 people?

Do you really think I don't need to practice, preach, or look for resources and just work hard all day?

"This should be a rumor. After all, the high priest was relatively young when he disappeared." Charles defended himself.

"Although ordinary people don't know much about mysterious powers, Associate Professor Ged should have told you about things related to the extraordinary in the college. The power of extraordinary people is not something ordinary people can imagine. Things that we think are impossible may be easily done by them." Professor Endsworth said with a smile.

No matter how easy it is, it is impossible to maintain relationships with so many women in such a short period of time!

Associate Professor Gad was Charles' mentor. Not long after Charles became an assistant professor, he resigned to become an explorer. His greatest wish in life was to become a professor in the Department of Ancient Languages.

However, in this era, each college only has two or three professors at most, and most colleges even have only one professor.

Before a full professor retires, it's difficult to become an associate professor unless you've made some outstanding contributions or possess exceptional abilities. Professor Gad resolutely resigned from his position as associate professor in order to gain access to advanced transcendental traits.

As for outstanding contributions, the difficulty of achieving this is roughly equivalent to winning the Nobel Prize in a previous life. "Ancient languages ​​hold a mysterious power," Ciel said, trying to maintain his composure. "Being extraordinary is no secret within the academy, but the threshold to becoming an extraordinary person is like a mountain or a river, standing in the way of all who aspire to cross it."

"This is why exploration, archaeology, and tomb robbing are popular in various countries." Endsworth looked a little melancholy.

"After the death of ancient transcendents, some were willing to leave their transcendental characteristics behind, some would accompany them into eternal sleep, and some even wanted to use their transcendental characteristics to live a new life."

"Supernormal knowledge will continue to advance with the development of the times, but supernormal characteristics have certain limitations."

"Not only the True Gods, but also the Demigods and Demigods, even the highest-level Transcendental Characteristics have a limit on the number of such characteristics."

"The ancient transcendents brought their powers into the tombs. Today's transcendents can only commit heinous crimes if they want to develop and advance."

Professor Endsworth's expression was a little complicated, and so was Charles's.

I don't know from which era or which idiot came up with the theory of extraordinary rebirth - this theory believes that when the strength of an extraordinary person reaches a certain level, even if he is seriously injured and dies, as long as his body and extraordinary characteristics are not damaged, then after a long time, the extraordinary person will inevitably be reborn under the influence of his extraordinary characteristics.

It is not known whether people are too afraid of death or because there are successful cases, but since the atheist era, extraordinary people have started to build their own tombs before death and arrange some protective measures in them.

You said that the arrangement of Demigod or even high sequence is fine, but the arrangement of mid- and low-sequence is just for nothing?

With your limited strength and a little wisdom, you all know that the probability of resurrection is zero.

In the Age of the Five Gods, after the death of a transcendent, their transcendental qualities would be recovered. They could be refined into new potions or made into Horcruxes, but they would never be buried in vain.

After all, no one wants to be dug out after death because of their extraordinary characteristics.

"This is an inevitable law. No one will be content with being ordinary." Charles said calmly.

In his time, if he knew that a certain family's tomb contained suitable supernatural properties, he might have done the same thing.

Exploring tombs is a bit unethical, but compared to fighting a supernatural being or a monster that is one level higher than him, most people will undoubtedly choose the former.

"Indeed, no one would be content with being ordinary. Just like the high priest Rocks, rumors say he was an orphan who relied on begging to survive from childhood. He was hated by his neighbors, bullied by stray dogs, and couldn't even eat a piece of black bread every day. But even in this situation, he still made his way to the top step by step."

"If he hadn't disappeared, he might have become the youngest subordinate god in the Earth Church."

Charles didn't want to say a word.

If it weren't for maintaining his image, Charles really wanted to shut his mouth.

Could you please not include me in every sentence?

Also, I am indeed an orphan in this life, and I grew up eating at many people's homes, but when was I ever hated by my neighbors and bullied by stray dogs?

Because he was cute and sensible since childhood, although he was an orphan, Charles actually lived a good life.

In most eras, food has been a shackle that restricts people's quality of life.

But in his time, food was never a problem.

It was as if he had just arrived in this era. Charles just tapped the ground lightly with his cane, and the grain production within a thousand miles would reach an extreme, even higher than the output of scientifically hybridized grains in his previous life.

Although the population has not increased due to various factors such as war, medical care, supernatural creatures, weirdness, and strangeness, it is still larger than the population of this era.

As an orphan in that era, before Charles met Count Krolov, he couldn't even eat black bread for every meal - the kind of bread with sawdust in it that could kill people.

However, as an orphan in the Age of Five Gods, Charles ate black bread without any additives for every meal. Although they were both black bread, there was still a big difference between the two.

One can only eat very soft things, while the other can not only eat them but also kill people with them.

"Professor Endsworth, the Book of Divine Grace records that during the Five Gods Era, the Earth Church had Transcendents of the Farmer Order who could assist with production. Furthermore, the Earth Church was the only church that could preach without state restrictions."

"According to the 'Erdman Tales', the extraordinary beings of the Church of the Earth can easily change the surrounding terrain, and at the same time, they are given extraordinary powers that greatly increase food production."

"Perhaps the orphans back then didn't have the hardship that we have now."

In order to maintain his image, to be honest, Charles should not refute Professor Endsworth. After all, he is his backer in this school.

but...

Some things are really unbearable!
