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

"It is now, but it may not be the same later."

"Why are there so many people in the Secret Order? And can't they have a little chivalry?"

Looking at the extraordinary people from the secret society who were staring at him closely from the top of a hill, Rotun said with gritted teeth.

Use magic technology and the lives of the dead soldiers to consume their physical strength and magic energy, and then launch a fatal blow to them when they can no longer hold on.

It is obvious that the extraordinary people in the secret society are superior to their own side in terms of numbers and strength, but their behavior is too steady.

Doug detonated the magic bomb in mid-air while analyzing his way out.

But the result made him a little desperate.

"I didn't expect that the one who would die with me in the end would be you."

"William is still young. I really don't know what will happen to the Severus family after I die. That son of a bitch York will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to exploit them."

"Don't worry, our king is not as bad as you think. Besides, my daughter hasn't been born yet, and I don't want her to lose her father before she's even born."

"Heh." Doug just sneered at Rotten's words.

"I say, can you block their vision for a little bit?"

"What?" Doug was stunned.

Roton pointed at several extraordinary people on the opposite hill who were looking at them coldly.

"Just a little blockage will be enough."

Looking at Rotun who was stroking the bow and arrow in his hand very seriously, Doug's face was full of black lines.

"Are you going to shoot them with this?" he said in a mocking tone.

To be honest, if it weren't for the wrong environment, Doug really wanted to hold his stomach and laugh.

The bow in Rotten's hand was made in front of Doug using some small branches and animal bones, and the arrows were made from some branches on the side of the road.

If you say that you have a relic or a Horcrux in your hand, I would believe you a little. It would be fine even if you just took out the gun at your waist as a weapon.

With a ready-made bow and arrow, are you trying to make me die so that you can help the other side reduce their losses?

"We have to give it a try." Rotten looked at Doug with a smile.

Meeting his gaze, Doug did as he was told for some reason.

In an instant, three arrows hit, and the four Sequence 6 transcendents standing on the opposite hill died at the same time.

Seeing this result, Doug was unable to maintain the shields scattered around for a moment.

"Damn it! Severus! Can you please pay attention?" While he was in a daze, Rotten had rolled over and hid behind him.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen bullets bounced off his body.

When they first met, Doug couldn't help but laugh at him when he saw his actions like this.

but now...

"How did you do that?" He felt a lump in his throat.

"It's very simple... The right extraordinary path plus the family bloodline, the combination of the two will always burst out with some brilliance."

Doug still remembers Rowton's smile at that time.

It was also from that time that he began to care about the Krolov family.

In front of Charles, Doug told some past events about himself and Rotten.

Then he said with some emotion, "In the following years, because of the near-death experience, I stopped going on adventures."

"After all, both William and my other children are still young. If something happens to me, it will be a devastating blow to them and the entire Severus family."

"I've been following his affairs ever since. Someone said he shot and killed a Sequence 4 Human Saint with a small pistol during an expedition."

"Most people don't believe it. They think it's a ridiculous lie made up by a certain Krolov family or a Rotten admirer."

"But I believe him."

"Not only because he shot four Sequence 6 Beyonders to death with three arrows right in front of me that day, but also because he never denied it."

Doug looked very excited, and whenever he mentioned Rotten, the complex expressions on his face made Charles a little dazzled.

Perhaps he never realized it, but in some ways, Rotun and what happened that day had become his inner demon.

Or perhaps the scene at that time left such a deep impression on him that he developed a strong obsession with the Krolov family's bloodline.

"I later approached him, wanting to marry my child William to his daughter."

"But he refused."

"He hopes his daughter can be as free as he is and be able to choose the person she likes to spend her life with." "So I gave William and my other sons an order: whoever can pursue Perozzi will be the next patriarch of the Severus family."

"It's just that perhaps because they are too utilitarian, they have never been able to gain the favor of little Peroz."

Seeing Doug's regretful look, Charles's expression was a little subtle.

This guy... is really terminally ill.

Although extraordinary paths and extraordinary bloodlines are important, humans are always the strongest...

Except for cheaters like himself, the battles between extraordinary people are generally very exciting and dangerous.

Doug only saw the feat of Rodon shooting four extraordinary people of the same sequence to death with three arrows, but forgot his physical defects, what he did at that time, and the role he played in that incident.

But in a way, he made the right bet.

Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Upright

The Krolov family's bloodline originated from a follower god of the Eternal Blazing Sun Cult.

For some reasons, the bloodline of the Krolov family is even more powerful than the extraordinary power contained in the bodies of the descendants of God.

Every generation of the Krolov family can be regarded as "sons of God."

Just for the sake of bloodline, Doug Severus fell into the devil's barrier, but if he succeeded, he might really be able to take the Severus family to a higher level.

Of course, it could also bring them destruction.

After all, the blood of the Krolov family has responsibilities engraved deep in its blood.

While Charles' thoughts were wandering, Doug quickly changed the subject and began talking to Charles about history, current affairs and other things.

I have to say, apart from his paranoia about certain things, Doug is a very nice person.

It's easy to develop a liking for him while talking to him.

He didn't talk to Charles for too long. After a while, he slowly turned the conversation to his daughter, Theresa, and told him some interesting stories about Theresa.

Afterwards, he left time for the two of them.

However, although he was very serious about completing his father's task, the two of them soon fell into an awkward conversation.

In the previous eras, many thinkers like Taylor appeared.

It's just that no one has ever caused such a big sensation like Taylor.

Under his thinking, some people's thoughts changed unconsciously, especially the eldest daughter of aristocratic families like Theresa.

She would absolutely obey her family and her father's words, but deep down she was extremely disgusted with this behavior.

Therefore, in front of Charles, some of the basic skills of a noble lady were completely thrown away, and the two quickly fell into silence.

"It's getting late, Miss Theresa. I remembered that I have some things to do at home, so I'm leaving first." Charles naturally had no other thoughts about Theresa's attitude.

In front of Peroz, Charles acted timidly mainly to fit in with the personality of the person he replaced.

But he didn't need to do that in front of other people.

Theresa is very beautiful, but there are too many beautiful people in this world. At the same time, apart from her status, in Charles' eyes, she has no advantages compared to the young lady on Customs Street.

And the longer you spend with her, the more trouble you get.

The trouble was not with Theresa, but with his father Doug.

"I'll take you there." Teresa breathed a sigh of relief at Charles' choice, and then spoke calmly.

"No need. The place I'm going to tonight may not be suitable for you, Miss Theresa." Charles said as he stood up.

This was him expressing some of his inner attitudes to Doug.

Theresa raised her eyebrows, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but after a moment she thought some things through and her expression softened.

"This is not a wise move. Even if you look down on me, you shouldn't leave here and go there directly."

"Although you have clearly stated your stance, you will also most likely make my father angry."

Charles shook his head at Teresa's words. "Excuse me, Miss Teresa, but you don't really know your father."

What is Doug's external image?

If Charles had just traveled through time, he would probably be impressed by his demeanor and might have cooperated with him for many reasons.

But now, he just wanted to get away from him.

After all, he came here this time to enjoy life and really didn't want to be dragged into trouble again.

And Doug is a big problem.

"I don't understand my father?" Theresa's expression couldn't help but become a little mocking. She was speechless for a moment at Charles' words.

I don't understand. How could you, who just had a few words with my father, understand?

"Are you sure you don't need me to take you back?"

"Severus's manor is very far away from the city and the city that never sleeps. There are no public carriages here."

"No need. I already found a coachman before coming here. He is probably waiting for me at the fork in the road in front of the manor." Charles stopped and answered her, then continued to walk slowly towards the door.

Theresa hesitated for a few steps, but still quickly followed him and slowly escorted him out of the manor.

According to etiquette, Charles' behavior was very rude. After all, he was invited to the dinner by Doug, and if he wanted to leave, he should say goodbye to him in advance.

But his choice was not to say it in front of him. Although it was a bit rude, his response was still perfect.

Afterwards, considering her father's words, Theresa insisted on sending Charles to the fork in the road where the coachman was waiting for him, and then slowly turned around and returned to the manor.

She finished telling Doug everything that had happened.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Doug suddenly laughed.

"This little guy is really interesting..."

"I like him even more."

"Teresa, that guy is right. In a way, he understands me better than you do."

Doug stood up and slowly walked to the study window.

"Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. When I was collecting information earlier, although that guy seemed worthy of you, information is just information."

"Now it seems that guy has passed the test."

"Or rather, it exceeded my expectations."

When most people encounter Charles, their first choice is to use coercion, bribery, or tricks. Even if they have to use methods similar to his, they will keep it secret.

But Doug wouldn't, he would tell him directly and honestly.

Most people would get angry if they were rejected directly without giving him face, but he knew he wouldn't.

Just from the previous analysis of his behavior and previous conversations, I can guess what he is thinking.

Upright.

These are Doug's four favorite words.

When faced with certain things, some people would choose to use some self-righteous tricks. But in his opinion, although those so-called tricks can help them accomplish some things conveniently, they will eventually leave some hidden dangers.

These hidden dangers may seem insignificant now, but they will make them pay a heavy price at some point.

If he acts like this, he may fail or get into trouble.

However, if successful, there will be no consequences.
