"Why not, just leave her to me."

“Huh?” The uncle’s smug expression froze.

Ciel narrowed his eyes, rubbed his hands and smiled mercenaryly: "Don't you hope to get the opportunity to serve Lord Thanatos as soon as possible?

As you know, our clan is mainly engaged in the slave trade. A while ago, we just received a batch of slaves, many of which are high-quality goods that can be sold to Happy Street. Your daughter is not bad, why don't you come with us?"

"Happy Street? How can Cassandra be a prostitute?!" The uncle seemed very angry and his tone became rude.

Ciel tilted his head in surprise: "Huh? I'm ready to sacrifice my life for Lord Thanatos, why is a mere whore unwilling to do so?"

"How can it be the same!" The uncle took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "This is not the agreement between me and the God of Death."

Charles looked as if he had realized something. "Oh, I think you misunderstood. Being a prostitute is just a facade. The real purpose of this lady is to use her own life to replace those prostitutes of the Ishtar clan in the near future."

"This... is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Uncle Ilion, you... don't want to refuse it, do you?"

"But, that kind of suffering..."

"You can commit suicide, but you don't want to suffer even a little before you die. Is that all? And you still say you are loyal to Lord Thanatos?"

As if his worldview had been greatly impacted, Uncle Ilion stood there in a daze, his lips trembling as he muttered:

"I...actually, am I not loyal enough?"

Chapter 43 Little Wings

Outside the house.

Charles changed into a clean civilian outfit and waved to the little girl who was seeing him off.

"Well, see you next time. I think you will come to me when you need me, and you will know how to find me."

Cassandra waved her hand, sent the plague god away, closed the door, leaned against the wall, and gasped.

He...really wants to send me to Happy Street?

Father...also agrees?

Her eyes fell on the man who was sitting on the chair, holding his head, and talking to her non-stop.

Since his family members left one after another, this man has changed. His mind has become distorted, and he believes that this world is wrong and that he was born in this era.

If there is strength, perhaps a madman who wants to change the world will be born.

Unfortunately, the man is just an ordinary person, unable to do anything, and can only rely on the afterlife to numb himself. That's right, this life is too difficult, so why not end it and start the next one early? This life is given to you!

This seemingly absurd idea becomes truly feasible in the hands of God.

In today's Age of Gods, gods are no longer cold statues; they stand before the people. Making wishes to gods, an act that seems to seek spiritual sustenance, is no longer superstition or illusion.

“Lord Thanatos said... that our family can be reunited in the next life..." Uncle Ilion raised his head and looked at Cassandra with red eyes.

"Dad, Daddy..."

Cassandra shook her head, her legs weakened and she collapsed to the ground.

She was too young to resist her father. If he really wanted to send her to a brothel...

However, Ilion's scarlet eyes suddenly became moist, and a heavy sigh echoed in the room, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Kasan-chan..."

"babble--"

"You... must be tired of acting all the time."

"Eh?"

"I am such an unfit father that I have always let my daughter pretend in front of me."

"..."

"You... run away..."

"Eh?"

Cassandra stared in disbelief at this man who was immersed in the lie of the "afterlife".

"I'm sorry..." The man buried his head in his knees:

"If simply giving up my life can bring happiness to our family in the next life, then that's simple. But, if I have to sacrifice Kasan-chan... my last... my last treasure, Kasan-chan..."

"I'm sorry... I just wanted to take you with me to escape... escape from this shitty world. I just thought... maybe dying early would make me happier than living. Or... maybe, I should have listened to you earlier, I should have listened to you earlier."

Cassandra didn't know why her father suddenly woke up and believed in his own prophecy, but everything changed when that man arrived.

She also understood her father's painstaking efforts.

To this man, if it weren't for me, he might have been freed from this world long ago.

Cassandra walked up, hugged the poor man's head and stroked it gently.

Russia

"Let's... go together." Cassandra gritted her teeth.

"No." Ilion smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't go back. I have been engraved with the emblem of the god of death. Death is my final fate. You are different. If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it. Leave here and find a safe country to live in. If possible, find a husband who loves you..."

He seemed to be giving his last words.

"Dad... I'm leaving, what about you?" Cassandra seemed to have noticed something and a look of panic appeared on her face.

"I...? I can't let your mother, sister and brother wait for me too long." The man's eyes were unfocused, lost in memories:

"I remember your mother loved the rice ears on the farm. She was always busy until very late at night. She was afraid of the dark and always said that someone had died somewhere and asked me to hold a lantern for her. Your brother was still young and asked me to teach him how to hunt every time he came home. Your sister was ambitious and said she wanted to go to the new school district, but it was a pity that I couldn't teach her..."

"!"

The past events came to his mind bit by bit, and it took the man a long time to come back to his senses.

Seeing the visible pain on his daughter's face, Uncle Ilion stroked Cassandra's hair:

"Don't worry, Lord Thanatos won't let me die for now. As long as I'm here, you'll be safe. Let's go, and leave early tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, he began to pack Cassandra's luggage, putting all the valuable things in the house into the bag. The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Cassandra understands...

My father died a few years ago, and now he is back to life by accident. But it seems that this father will soon leave me, to a place where I can never find him again.

Cassandra lay in bed, nightmares coming one after another.

All the changes were because of this man. The image of this man kept flashing in my dreams.

Hate him? Hate him for forcing his father to death? But he reawakened his father who had been 'dead' for many years.

No hatred? He said he would sell himself to a brothel... and that made his father really make up his mind to leave her.

In the dream, many years after she fled Hong Kong, the man found her again.

He pressed himself against the wall, saying, "Why don't you come to me? Why don't you come to me? If you don't come to me, then go to hell!"

The blood dyed the dream red, and Cassandra woke up from the nightmare.

This time, there is no special annotation. If you want to avoid the future deadlock, just go find him...

The first thing she did when she woke up was to find her father.

She summoned up the greatest courage of her life and said:

"Dad, I want to go to a brothel! To find a hot man!"

"Uh..., Kashan-chan, you...are you attracted to her?"

???

Cassandra's small face was full of confusion: "That man will not let me go, no matter where I go."

The man who had made up his mind collapsed.

No, I was like that yesterday? Shouldn't you have carried my belongings with reluctance and run away? Why are you jumping into the fire?

Without waiting for the man to persuade her, Cassandra said with a serious face:

"Dad, that man lied to you. A brothel won't let a child serve customers. I still have a few years to learn there. It's even more impossible to sneak attack the cadres."

"That……"

"He must have other purposes in targeting me. Instead of wasting energy on running away, I might as well go find him directly!"

"This..., what should I do?"

"You can find a way to save me! You are an adventurer, go and defeat the monsters. I will wait for you... I will wait until the day you come to save me! I hope you can be my hero!"

So..., you must stay alive and come save me.

Cassandra made up nine true and one false lies, trying to give the man some motivation to live.

Ah...I'm so overdoing it.

I know that death is your last wish. But...

If I die at the hands of a monster and go to heaven, I can also tell my mother that I died accidentally while avenging my family.

By then, my younger brother would probably scold my father for being a fool, and my mother would smile and clean his wounds.

Rather than...a madman who robs others of their happiness.

Chapter 44 The Possibility of Self-Learning Magic

The gate of the port city.

Charles hailed a 'taxi' skillfully. It was a special and novel experience to sit on this horse-drawn means of transport.

There was no inspection as he had imagined. Perhaps because he didn't want to attract Orario's attention, Charles left the city easily.

The final stop of the carriage is a village outside of Orario, which is quite a distance from here.

Charles rested his arms on the window sill of the carriage, admiring the scenery along the way.

What will happen to Cassandra's family? What choice will Uncle Ilion make in the end? Charles has no interest in it.

He was not from the Rudra clan at all, so it was impossible for him to sell people to a brothel.

However, Charles saw the "love" hidden under the madness in the uncle's eyes, proving that he was not completely hopeless. So he tried to awaken this love in this simple way to see if he could wake him up.

Facts have proven that not all the dark factions are hysterical lunatics...

Each of them may have been an honest person, with their own reasons for choosing how to live their lives. Those believers also have the right to choose how to end their lives.

this point……

I can’t control…

Of course, the premise is that you don’t provoke me.

"So, don't mess with honest people."

As for Cassandra.

He would certainly not let go of this super plug-in that holds the script, possesses the precious skill [Fifth Dimension: Troy], and can even assist in life simulation.

Even though she has not yet joined the clan, it does not prevent her from using her abilities.

Some strange talents are innate, and grace is just a more accurate expression of them.

If his father had gone mad, Charles would simply "cheat" the girl away.

at the moment……

"Her face has been revealed. When the time is right, she will appear in front of me if I want!" Charles' mouth corners slowly raised.

The idea was simple, to make a deep impression on Cassandra's mind first.

After that, when the "life simulation" is needed, just make up your mind that if she does not appear in front of me within the deadline, I will find a way to find her in the future and kill her.

So……

Cassandra, who dreams that she is bound to die, will naturally find a way out of the impasse based on the prophecy.

With my "Miracle" magic, it is not difficult to randomly obtain the "Search" ability. It is almost impossible to avoid my pursuit. The only way is to deny the event of "Ciel wants to kill me" from the root.
