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

"I don't want to be protected by others all the time. I want to be someone who can protect everyone."

Perozzi's expression was a little complicated, and then she nodded, "I understand. I will do my best to protect you."

I hope I'm just overthinking it this time...

When an adventurer loses his caution, his end is very near.

Peroz, puzzled, thought of a motto of the Krolov family.

I have probably lost my caution now.

It couldn't be any worse.

Looking at Theresa who was full of energy, Peroz had two expectations about Charles' identity.

One is to hope that everything is a coincidence, and there is really not much connection between him and him. Just like what Sif said, it’s all just my imagination.

One possibility is that they are the same person. At least in this way, if they really encounter a trap during this expedition, Theresa's safety will be guaranteed.

"You really can't take me with you? I feel I can be of great help to the expedition team. As you just know, I have the ability to speak languages!" Sif clasped her hands together and asked again.

"Rocks has it too." Peroz's words left Sif stuck.

"I am an astrologer. When you encounter a difficult choice, I can help you find the best way." Sif tried hard to recall her advantages.

"During my last adventure, I obtained a Self-Mirror, which can help me do something similar. Oh, and it's made using the extraordinary properties of Sequence 3."

Sif: “…”

"We are friends, right? You, Theresa and Rocks are going, but you leave me alone. That's too much!" Sif still played the emotional card.

As a lecturer in the Department of Ancient Languages, Sif is actually very interested in this kind of adventure into the past.

In her previous career plan, after becoming a transcendent, she would look for some reliable exploration teams to join during the summer and winter vacations.

She doesn't care much about gaining benefits. What's important is that she will definitely gain something in the process that she cannot gain in the office.

"Exploration is a serious matter. Especially this time, I have no confidence at all." Peroz slowed down his tone.

"I couldn't stop Teresa. I might even regret not stopping her later. I won't even have the chance to regret it."

"So I won't take you with me anyway."

Sif was a little unhappy, but she felt Perozzi's kindness and muttered, "Actually, I won't die that easily."

"I really want to go with you guys... I've been curious about that kind of thing for a long time."

Peroz stood up and ruffled Sif's hair. "In fact, that kind of thing is very hard and dangerous."

"But...if you're interested, Leopold, let's do it next time. I'll take you with me next time."

"This tone of voice is used to coax a child..." Sif complained silently as she slapped Peroz's hand away.

"It's true. In fact, if it weren't for Teresa and Rocks' incident, I would have embarked on a new adventure in about a month."

"Is it dangerous?" Sif asked.

"It's very dangerous. One of my ancestors died because of the curse there." Peroz threatened Sif.

"Then... just take me with you. I think I can handle curses and such." This is not mysterious confidence, but Sif really has similar abilities.

After learning that Charles had gained some mysterious powers from his "bloodline", Sif thought that they might be siblings. It didn't make sense that Charles' bloodline would have other abilities besides proficiency in language while she didn't.

So after diligent study, Sif also found some special abilities in her "bloodline".

For example, the result of her divination on an event is very clear, not at all vague like that of other astrologers. At the same time, the weak curse resistance originally possessed by astrologers can be transformed into an active curse-breaking ability in her.

She borrowed a few Horcruxes from the school's collection and tried them out, and so far she hadn't encountered a curse that she couldn't break.

"It's brought by the power of blood, it's very powerful." Sif emphasized, as if afraid that Peroz would not believe it.

"...I was just trying to scare you. Some of the ancestors who came after the curse had already broken it, but the text left there couldn't be found and deciphered by many generations of ancestors. So, I thought Leopold, you have that ability, so I took you to try..."

"This doesn't really count as an adventure..." Sif felt her interest drop instantly.

"Not necessarily. Maybe there will be a new secret room behind those words?"

"Similar things are very common during archaeological expeditions," Peroz said with a smile.

She then told Sif a lot about her own experiences and those of the Krolov ancestors, and Sif was quickly drawn in. Not only her, but Teresa was also captivated by some of Peroz's stories.

Perozzi and her father, Rotun, were both very outstanding, even legendary, explorers, but there were several people in the Krolov family who could rival them.

Just pick out some legendary stories, not to mention them, even Charles himself would listen with gusto.

When Peroz and his team wanted to invite Charles to an expedition, Charles was facing a choice.

Although he had already made up his mind, looking at the [Omniscient Heart] in front of him and feeling the power so close at hand, he couldn't help but reach out and touch this ugly and weird-looking organ.

"Please accept my gift." Reiner said seriously.

"Although I don't know what you want to do with it, I think it will be more useful to you than to me."

yes...

Omniscience is indeed more useful in my hands than in yours.

If you accept the omniscience of the heart, you will just have one more God to obey.

But if I have an omniscient heart, then I will truly stand at the top of this world.

Even during the Five Gods Era, he possessed the ability to walk sideways.

This temptation is somewhat irresistible...

Ciel swallowed slightly as he looked at what was in front of him.

But in the end he shook his head and said, "No."

"We agreed on that before."

"You accommodate him first, and then make a new one for me."

God knows how much willpower he must have used to resist this temptation.

This is the temptation of becoming a god.

"There is no need to abide by such an agreement. At that time, I treated you as an enemy. But now we are friends!" Reiner said with a big laugh.

"Furthermore, if it weren't for you this time, the Heart of Omniscience wouldn't have been cast so smoothly."

"If I can make the first one of this kind of thing, I can make the second one, but... you have to provide the raw materials. After all, this thing has drained all my savings." Reiner scratched his head feeling a little embarrassed.

You're not embarrassed at all!

We originally agreed that I would pay you for the materials and processing fees, and you would help me make the finished product. Now that the finished product is ready, it's fine if you don't want the material fees, but you also don't want the cost of the raw materials?

If it comes to business, Ciel feels that Reiner will lose all his fortune sooner or later.

"A man should keep his word. If I tell you to accommodate me first, I will do so." Charles said gritting his teeth.

Come on, punch me, preferably in the face, to wake me up.

Charles Rocks, you are the first person in the church to initiate sting enforcement, and you are also a bad guy who will do anything for profit!

You got the wrong script.

Kong Rong gave away his pears. Is this what you should do?

Eat, just eat what’s in front of you!

"I think it's you..."

"I told you to accommodate me first, so you should accommodate me first!"

"How many times do I have to say this?"

"Stop being polite to me. Believe it or not, I will beat you so hard that you will have to eat it!" Charles looked extremely fierce.

"As expected... Rocks, you have always been a good person..."

You are a good person, your whole family is a good person!

"But this is my gift to you."

"This is something I have decided to do a long time ago. Rocks, you won't refuse a gift from a friend, right?" Reiner grabbed the Heart of Omniscience and stuffed it into Rocks' hand.

Charles wanted to push the thing back, but found that his hands were holding it very tightly.

Your useless hand will be chopped off sooner or later!

"Hahahaha! I knew that to you, Rocks, omniscience is more important than to me." Reiner said nonchalantly.

Charles was silent for a moment, then silently put away the Heart of All-Knowing.

"Of course, you shouldn't refuse a gift from a friend, but simply giving gifts won't sustain a long-lasting friendship."

"Just consider it a token of friendship. I will make a new all-knowing heart."

"Once the all-knowing heart is successfully made, you and I will use it to do what we want."

Charles himself didn't know why he was being so pretentious.

What he should do now is to go back home, mix the Heart of Omniscience into a potion, and then swallow it and digest it.

But facing such a cheerful guy in front of him, he also has his own persistence.

"do not want!"

"I don't want to lose some memories." Reiner refused without hesitation.

"Don't worry, you won't lose the relevant abilities and memories."

"As for the ability and memory to create the Dream City, I copied it a long time ago."

He can steal everything from a person, and of course he can copy him as well.

But compared to stealing, copying is more troublesome.

After all, he does not possess the relevant extraordinary characteristics of the apprentice sequence.

"Hey! That's too much! Didn't you even tell me about this?" Reiner looked at Ciel speechlessly.

"I'll definitely do it next time." Charles slowly walked to the sofa beside him and sat down.

Having said that, Ciel felt that there would be no next time between them.

Ciel felt that a troublesome guy like Reiner was his natural nemesis.

Being with a guy like this is just making yourself uncomfortable!

Chapter 273 Chapter 153 The Last Tenderness

There were many times when Ciel always suspected that Reiner's existence was telling him that the world could still be saved and that the world was not yet so bad.

Even in the mud, white flowers will bloom.

But compared to the white lotus growing in the mud, Charles prefers the white lotus born in the peaceful sea with some stains.

Of course, if one day everyone in the world is like him, it would be a very happy thing in Charles's opinion.

Although he kept saying in his heart that he didn't want to meet Reiner again, he still chatted with Reiner for a long time in the New Truth Association, and the two of them even drank two large barrels of rum.

Even if neither of them has the All-Knowing Heart, the birth of the All-Knowing Heart is something worth celebrating for them anyway.

Therefore, even someone like Ciel, who had always maintained a sober attitude, got drunk once.

When he returned to Rocks Manor, he was staggering and occasionally humming some little tunes that no one else could understand.

"Have you been fooling around in the City of Eternal Night again?" Peroz, who had been waiting in the manor all day, said unhappily. She had originally expected to remain cool and silent when she met Charles, making sure he knew her inner resentment.

but...

Keeping a straight face and the same expression for the whole day...that's too difficult.

So, after most of the day, Peroz couldn't hold it anymore. Although she was still very angry inside, she didn't show it on the outside.

On the contrary, her expression and tone at this moment seemed to be grabbing Teresa's excuse - a kind of excuse grabbing Teresa's excuse long after the future and long after she was married.

"Don't think that Rocks..." Looking at Charles's expression, Theresa felt a little embarrassed, but she still explained seriously, "If it were just those things, Rocks wouldn't have such an expression."

"I've known him for so long, but this is the first time I've seen Rocks drunk. It's also the first time I've seen Rocks so happy."

Teresa's words reminded Perozzi. She calmed herself down and thought about the purpose of her coming here - she was not here to vent her inner resentment, she was here to observe Charles, she wanted to see the real Charles, the one without disguise.
