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

"My brother paid for the shares, and the shares are because of Uncle Floys and Sister Antilia. It has nothing to do with me!"

"So...I can't have this!"

"After all, no matter from which perspective, these shares should be held by my brother or Uncle Floys and his men."

Charles nodded obediently, then turned to look at Antilia and Floys, "I'll sell this share to you for 10 gold pounds. If you don't have cash, I can lend you some, but you'll have to pay a certain amount of interest."

"Then the money from the sale of shares can be regarded as my support for you." Charles said with a smile.

"No, my brother has been very good to me. I can't take this money." Mernadette said firmly.

Hundred Thousand Gold List...

This is an astronomical sum. If converted into food, it would be enough to feed the entire outer city for a long time...

"Putting aside those interests, I became a councilor because of you, Mernade. If it weren't for your kindness, Floys and the others wouldn't have chosen to stay here."

"Whether it's the convenience of your status or the deterrent effect their arrival brings, Mernadè, you have contributed greatly to this family."

"Besides, I also want to see the world you mentioned come sooner."

Ciel said gently.

One ring after another, after three rings in a row, facing Charles who was staring at her, Melnadette was too embarrassed to refuse again.

"If you really feel you don't deserve it, then put it to good use."

"It is very difficult to promote an idea, especially one that is not accepted by the general public."

"Are you really ready?" Charles gently touched Mernadette's hair.

Mernadette shook her head.

"I've only read these books a few times now, and there are still many questions I can't figure out."

“I won’t be ready until I have figured out all those issues.”

Ciel nodded.

"Then enrich yourself and then go for it."

“You must remember, no matter what kind of setbacks you encounter, never give up your persistence easily.”

"At the same time, you must remember that no matter what hardships you face, I will always support you from behind."

Before the Age of the Five Gods, Mernadè finally realized her ideal with the power bestowed upon her by the only Creator.

During that period, the Church of the Earth truly ensured that everyone had enough food to eat, even people from backgrounds like Charles could have enough to eat.

And now, Charles is willing to be her strength to help her realize her inner ideals.

He also wanted to see the difference between Mernade's ideal and the perfect country in her mind and what he remembered.

"Brother..." Melnade's eyes were slightly red and her voice was choked. At this moment, she really felt that she was the happiest person.

"Yes, yes, yes! Me too!" Floyd, who was outside the carriage, did not see Mernadette's expression, but after hearing Charles' words, he nodded in agreement.

He didn't understand Mernadette's ideals and thoughts, but...what little Mernadette wanted to do must be right!

Antilia first glanced at Mernadette, who was so moved that she could hardly speak in Charles' arms, and then glanced at Flois, who was inexplicably excited at the moment.

For a moment she felt a little sorry for Floyds.

At the same time, he was somewhat surprised by some of Charles's actions and choices.

However, while she was surprised, she also had a good impression of both parties for the first time. At the same time, she also had a thought... "If I stay here forever, it would be a good choice."

In an era where interests are everything, this kind of pure family affection makes her feel very comfortable.

Although Charles was not targeting her, she still felt refreshed.

"I don't have money to buy these things, and I don't have the habit of borrowing money." Antilia opened the door of the carriage and got in.

"Brother Floys probably isn't interested in this kind of thing either."

"Uncle Arthur and Maureen are quite short of money. You can lend them 100,000 pounds and sell them 4% or 5% of their shares."

Money is useless to extraordinary people.

But it also depends on how much money.

Profits of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold pounds each year can be of great help even to high-level transcendents.

But...Antiliya was dismissive.

For her, the sincere feelings of Charles and Mernadette and the comfort they brought her were more than the value of the gold pounds.

She... has never had any ambition, nor has she ever pursued strength.

All she wanted was a home, her own.

This was certainly not her home, and Charles and Mernadette were not her family.

But it is undeniable that because of Charles and Mernadette, she can always be with Floyd and the others as before.

Compared with these, gold pounds and interests seem insignificant.

Chapter 142 Prophecy

On the commercial street, Mernadette’s cheeks were wrinkled.

"Don't be stunned, come and try it on quickly. This is the latest style." Charles said to Mernadette while holding a light green dress.

As punishment for scaring him today, Charles said that Mernadette would not be able to escape today.

The entry of multiple forces into this country has brought not only bad things, but also some good things.

For example, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, many new stores have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, bringing flavors from many different countries to the country.

"Brother..." Mernadette grabbed Charles' arm.

"Hehe, if I can't choose clothes that satisfy me today, I might lock the study and hide some books."

Mernadette could only lower her head and obediently walk into the fitting room with the clothes.

The existence of magic power and extraordinary people allows many girls in this world to wear clothes that are inappropriate for the season without restraint in all seasons.

For example, the dress that Charles just picked for Mernadette looks cool, but when she wears it, she won’t feel cold even in the cold winter.

"You really have some bad tastes." Theresa looked at Charles speechlessly.

This was not an artificial encounter, but a real coincidence.

Although Doug didn't say much to Theresa and the others recently, some things were inevitably gradually known to them.

She was unable to help with these matters and had no way to alleviate her father's worries, so Theresa had been feeling a little depressed recently.

In order to change her mood, she specially asked Joseph to go shopping in the commercial street together.

For many girls, window shopping is a good way to relax.

However, they didn't expect to run into Charles and his group not long after they started walking around.

"You are jealous, right? Jealous that I have a sister as charming as Mernadette, and the same clothes look better on you than on Mernadette..." Charles' tone was a little frivolous, making Theresa grit her teeth.

"I will definitely look better in this dress than Mernadette!" As she said this, she picked out a dress of the same style and walked quickly into the dressing room.

Charles couldn't help but smile and shook his head at Theresa's little temper, then gently touched Luna and Lily's heads.

"Sister needs beautiful clothes~ You should have some too. How about it? Do you have any clothes you like?" Charles asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads timidly.

They had moved into the manor for a few months, but they were still a little awkward when dealing with Charles.

"If you don't find clothes you like, then you'll have to ask Melnadette to come here again tomorrow~"

"Ah~ I originally wanted to let her do something she likes tomorrow, but now it seems I have to change the plan."

The two little ones panicked and trotted away quickly. After a moment, looking at the simple dresses in their hands, Charles smiled and pointed to the dressing room.

The two walked in timidly.

"You have such a bad taste. You're obviously trying to be nice to them, but you're acting like a bully." Sif changed into a purple dress with star-like embellishments.

"Don't you think this is interesting?" Charles' smile widened. "Also, Professor Leopold, this dress suits you very well."

"I think so too." Sif said in a light tone.

"Did something happy happen to you?" Charles asked after Sif came back from paying the bill.

"How do you know?" Sif asked with a smile.

"The clothes here are very expensive. If it weren't for something happy happening, Lecturer Sif probably wouldn't be willing to treat herself like this."

After hearing what Ciel said, Sif couldn't help but feel a little pain on her face. "It's just one month's salary~ But for a girl, as long as she can look prettier, she will reward herself like this even if there's nothing happy going on."

"But something worth being happy about did happen to me." Sif blinked as she spoke.

Then her originally brown pupils slowly turned silver-white.

"I succeeded!" she said happily.

The success she mentioned was successfully digesting the potion provided by the Truth Association and becoming a transcendent.

"That's really a good thing. I remember that Lecturer Sif promised to help me find my marriage." The extraordinary people on the astrologer path can use props or constellations to see a future that is not so real, but possible.

The stronger they are, the more of the future they can see and the more accurate the information they observe.

Before, in the office and at dinner parties, Sif always clamored to help Charles find a marriage partner.

In her words, it's about who is so unlucky as to be with a guy like him.

"Are you sure? If I see you collapsed in the City of Eternal Night, the image of you in my mind will be completely destroyed~"

"I think Lecturer Sif has a deep misunderstanding of the City of Eternal Night. That place is not as bad as you think. I can take you there for a walk at night. Maybe you can meet some boys who will attract your attention." Charles teased.

Sif's cheeks were slightly red. She glared at Charles and was about to say something when Mernadette came out of the dressing room wearing new clothes.

"My taste is really good. This dress really suits Mernadette very well."

Charles praised.

Mernadette lowered her head and dared not raise it.

"I wonder what kind of boyfriend little Melnadette will find in the end." Sif said with some emotion, then moved closer to her and said, "Do you want me to help you with divination?"

"You are so boring! Your extraordinary power shouldn't be used on trivial matters like this."

"I remember that it is quite difficult for the extraordinary people on the path of fortune-telling to peek into the future. Be careful of the backlash of magic power." Teresa, who followed, advised Sif.

"Hehe~ Don't worry, I think I'm particularly suited to this ability. I tried it last night and didn't feel tired at all."

"I also secretly took a look at your future, Theresa. Do you want to know which guy will get the better of you in the end?" As she spoke, Sif gave Charles a slight aunt's smile.

"I don't believe you. Unless something drastic happens and there's a qualitative breakthrough in my relationship with this guy, it would be strange for you to be able to see my future with your abilities."

Sequence 9 can only see the imprecise future of one or two days at most. Using this ability to peek into the future, especially to help others find a partner, is almost impossible.

But this cannot be directed at other extraordinary people.

Sif was not among them.

"I really saw it~" She herself did not have this awareness, or as a person who had "just" come into contact with the extraordinary, she thought that everything she could do was very reasonable.

"What did you see?" Charles asked gently.

"Hehehe~" Sif didn't say anything, just blinked and looked at Charles.

"That starry sky style skirt, right?" said Charles.

"I knew you understood me best, Rocks!"

"I saw you, Rocks, kissing Theresa, and Theresa was writing a letter by herself with a silly smile on her face."

"But the strange thing is that I wanted to help little Melnadette look into the future, but I couldn't see anything." Sif said somewhat strangely.

"Of course. Mr. Froyce has always protected Mernadette very well. With your poor ability, you certainly can't see it." Charles' face was calm as if what he said was the fact.

Sif nodded. She also thought that this was the reason why her divination failed.

But...I would take the initiative to kiss this guy?

Charles glanced at Theresa, whose face was a little red and looked a little strange.
