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

Chapter 12: I have to swallow my tears even though I am pretending to be so

If Charles were to meet other time travelers in the future, he would definitely persuade them not to show off so casually.

Because you have no idea what your current pretense will turn into in the future.

The rumor that he was lustful and had sex with 100,000 people originally originated from a sentence he said.

One time when he was drinking and bragging with his friends in a pub, he said something like "I have a disease, I am lustful."

Then, through strange translation and transmission from generation to generation, it became what Professor Endsworth just said, that he had 100,000 lovers.

He competed with wild dogs for food, and couldn't even get black bread for every meal. This probably originated from the translation of "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this person" during a missionary work...

If God gave him another chance, he would definitely practice diligently and never do anything weird.

However, looking at the enthusiastic Professor Endsworth in front of him, Charles said that he was pretending to be so arrogant that he had to take it off even with tears in his eyes.

"As expected, Rocks, you are different from the others. You are very courageous, just like the high priest."

Ha ha.

Charles showed a subtle smile on the surface, but deep down he just wanted to punch him in the chest with his little fist.

"Because of my status, they only flatter me and think that everything I say is right." Professor Endsworth said with some emotion.

In a world where transcendence is no secret, Endsworth is not only knowledgeable but also a Sequence 5 transcendent who can become a professor at the Academy of Ancient Languages, an academy that is inextricably linked to transcendence.

They belong to the top part of the people in this country. After all, there are only four Sequence 4 transcendents who are called saints on earth in the entire country.

"Whether it's magical research, extraordinary skills, or history and culture, knowledge cannot be advanced by relying on obedience."

"Although I don't think what I said is wrong, what if I am wrong? If everyone agrees with my point of view, then the study of ancient history will go astray."

"Rocks, you are as courageous as your name. Keep up this courage. It will become an indispensable driving force on your path to growth!"

"From today on, you are no longer an assistant teacher. You can choose an ancient language that you are proficient in. I will recommend you to become a full-time lecturer at the academy."

Ciel showed an ecstatic expression on the surface, but inwardly he was calm and wanted to eat some melon. Just now, he used his ability to find a book called "Words and Deeds" in Endsworth's drawer and read it.

Amidst a burst of thanks, Charles walked out of Endsworth's office.

After making sure that Charles had left, Endsworth opened the window of the room.

"Sure enough, the high priest is right. It feels really good to show off, especially in front of people who are lower in strength and status than you."

"Hmm... The words used by the high priest in the Record of Words and Deeds to motivate the younger generation and show off are indeed very unusual."

Charles' expression was extremely calm at this moment, and I had the urge to pin him to the ground, dig a hole and bury him.

"Record of Words and Deeds" was a book written by his teacher based on his past deeds after he disappeared. In order to commemorate him, he also specially asked a true god of another sequence to add the ability of "time without trace".

Although it was disrespectful, he even wanted to beat up his teacher at this time.

He "invented" the word "zhuangbi", but it cannot be said that he invented it, because that kind of behavior had more complicated explanations before.

After he started to be active in the world, the word was changed to the more concise and clear "zhuangbi".

The only thing Ciel felt fortunate about was that knowledge was a very valuable thing in this era.

Especially knowledge related to ancient history.

So by this time, although books like "Records of Words and Deeds" had been unearthed very early and there were many copies, the number of people who possessed the original and copies of "Records of Words and Deeds" was less than a hundred, and the maximum number of people who had read it was only three to five thousand...

In fact, the book "Records of Words and Deeds" is nothing special. After all, it was written to commemorate Charles.

The above is basically praising him and some things about his greatness and integrity.

But I am always afraid of encountering a "pervert" like Professor Endsworth.

How many times have you watched the above examples to show off?

An inexplicable feeling of shame emerged in Charles' heart.

The only good thing was probably that Charles was "appreciated" by Professor Endsworth - because he cooperated with him to show off, his position was promoted to a higher level, and he was officially promoted from assistant teacher to lecturer.

His weekly salary also increased from 4 gold pounds to 10 gold pounds, and he officially became a member of the Royal Academy of Moroston.

For an ordinary person, this would mean a leap in social status. From then on, he could call himself a middle-class family. If he continued to coach for a few more years and saved some money to attend some dances and high-end clubs, he could even call himself an upper-class person.

If it were the original Ciel, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

After all, the Royal Academy of Moroston has a total of one thousand faculty members, of whom more than seven hundred are teaching assistants, more than two hundred are lecturers, there are 97 associate professors, and 15 full professors.

Most people don’t have the opportunity and probably have to wait until they are in their fifties or sixties to cross this threshold.

And Ciel only took a few months.

Although he is not the fastest among all the assistant coaches, he is definitely the fastest among the civilian families.

"According to common sense, should I appear more excited and excited?" Looking at the gloomy haze in the sky, Charles sighed.

"Too many extraordinary people, and their extraordinary powers being too magical, is not a good thing. The whole world is almost shrouded in smog."

"Although it doesn't have much impact, I'd better create an encounter when I go back so that my new house can have the function of purification." Charles sighed as he slowly walked towards home.

Although he has recently obtained a large sum of money legally through some means, he has not purchased a new house so far because he does not like the houses currently on sale due to aesthetic and geographical reasons.

So he decided to rebuild one.

Although with his ability, it would take him less than a day to build a house that satisfied him, for most people of that era, such behavior was too shocking and not in line with his status.

After walking three blocks, Charles returned to his home. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected person waiting for him at his door.

Peroz Krolov, the person whom Charles wanted to repay with his life, is also the little guy who is regarded as a pathfinder by Charles now.

Chapter 13: Dog Lickers Don't Have Houses

This is troublesome.

Looking at Peroz who was looking at him with a smile, Charles' expression became a little complicated.

Everyone who had close contact with the previous Charles is dead.

But those who appreciate him and his benefactors are still there.

If he wants to continue using this identity, then when facing these people, he needs to be like Charles before.

As for whether she came to me because she discovered my identity, the probability of this happening is almost zero.

With his authority and power, if he didn't want to reveal his identity, even a god would find it difficult to see through him, let alone a girl who had just set foot in the extraordinary world?

Although this girl was a Wolf Destroyer - she could have absorbed the extraordinary characteristics left by her father step by step, but she swallowed them whole and survived.

Even ordinary people who absorb potions according to the rules can easily lose control. How did you manage to swallow your father's Sequence 6 Transcendental Abilities and still survive? Could it be some new Transcendental technique or discovery?

Ciel was a bit curious, but he didn't think much of it. After all, there were too many unknowns in this world. Being too curious wouldn't last long.

So he put on an expression of excitement, dancing uncontrollably, and then stammered, "Count Krolov... What do you want to talk to me about today?"

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it!"

After saying this, Charles lowered his head.

The dog has no house!

Although he was complaining about the dead Charles, he actually had a certain good impression of "Charle Rocks". Although he was a little gloomy, his character was still very strong.

If it were the Five Gods Era, he would like to make friends with people like this.

But he felt helpless about having to play such a person... Well, not helpless. In fact, in the Church of the Earth, most people knew that Charles Rocks was a good person.

"Don't be so excited, Rocks." Peroz smiled slightly and pointed to his house. "Are you going to chat with me here?"

"Of course not." Charles opened the door in a hurry and slowly restored the changes he had made to the residence to its original state.

Seeing Charles's flustered look, Peroz couldn't help but smile slightly.

She didn't have much contact with Charles.

When her father was still alive, he took her to meet Charles and they exchanged a few words at that time.

The next time she received relevant information was when she heard the bishop tell her in the church that in addition to her, there was a young man who prayed for his father, Rotun Krolov, during every mass and high sacrifice.

It was from that period that Charles came into her sight again.

The gods have disappeared for a long time, and the power of the church has become unprecedentedly weak, but even so, there are still believers and churches belonging to them.

After all, the gods simply disappeared, not definitely died.

This is a sentence that has been passed down since the era of atheism.

At the same time, after the gods disappeared, some priests in the godless era did not believe that they were dead.

The most fundamental reason is that [the sun still rises and the moon still hangs high in the sky].

Before the Era of the Five Gods, there were several eras in which evil gods invaded the world and extinguished the sun.

However, just as the sun was extinguished, the Eternal Blazing Sun used its own power to create a new sun.

The believers of the Eternal Blazing Sun recorded this sentence in the holy scriptures, and it also implicitly recorded that as long as the sun is immortal, the Eternal Blazing Sun will not die.

As for the moon, it is the product of the power of the goddess of night.

Originally, there was another moon in this world, but after repelling the evil god and allowing the world to safely pass through the so-called "Twilight of the Gods and Doomsday", the Goddess of Night destroyed the original moon and used her own power to create a new moon.

The reason is that she thought that since she created the sun, Eternal Blazing Sun had become arrogant and regarded himself as the big brother among the five gods. The reason she created the moon was to let him know how powerful she was.

For this reason, the Mother Goddess of Earth once privately complained that the Goddess of Night was a tsundere.

At the same time, because of the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, heroes of all ages consciously ignore the five major churches.

They will even lend a hand to help some churches out of trouble when they are facing disaster. At the same time, when the Five Gods Church wants to develop, it will also be affected by some "accidents".

"Count Krolov, is there anything you want to talk to me about today?" Sitting in the main hall, Charles looked at her with some "nervousness" and some "excitement".

"I just came to see you." She smiled and said, "I heard from Father Ron that since my father disappeared, you have gone to church to pray for him during every mass and high sacrifice, and at the same time, you have used your meager savings to ask Father Ron and other priests to help pray for him."

"I appreciate it."

Charles waved his hands quickly, "This is what I should do. If it weren't for Mr. Rotten... I wouldn't have the life I have now."

In this era, there are people who are not well fed or well clothed, who are sold into mines, or deceived into working in illegal factories, or even enter these places on their own to survive.

If it weren't for Roden Krolov, Charles Rocks would probably have been like that.

"Father only gave you a chance. The life you have now is entirely due to your own efforts." Peroz picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea elegantly. Then he slowly took out an invitation letter signed by Charles from his arms.

"This is..." Ciel asked as he took the invitation.

"An invitation to my father's funeral." There was a hint of sadness in her tone.

Ciel stood up suddenly and performed his own show.

"How could this be...?" His expression was filled with disbelief and sadness.

"Mr. Rawdon is such a good man... He shouldn't have ended up like this."

"Father must have gone astray in the end." Thinking of what the "mysterious man" said about her father dying of greed, Peroz's tone was a little complicated.

In her impression, her father has always been a perfect person except that he is a little busy.

He is brave, wise, kind and full of justice.

She really couldn't believe that he would die because of greed.

However, not long after the "mysterious man" left, she began to have some doubts about her father's final death.

Among Rawdon's estate are some diaries he wrote.

The diary records some of his mental journey. Although incomplete, it shows how conflicted he was at the time.

"Impossible! Mr. Rotun would never go astray!" Charles seemed even more excited than Peroz.

"I have no way of knowing the truth of the matter. But I'm glad that you can believe in your father's character."

After saying these words, Peroz slowly stood up.

"I hope to see you at Dad's funeral in a week," she said gently.

"I will definitely see Mr. Rotten off for the last time..." Charles said with his head lowered.
