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

It is well known that the Earth Church is best at defense and controls the earth and the power of life.

Although this force is powerful, it can easily leave traces in some aspects.

However, the Church of the Goddess of Night controls abilities such as time, destiny, and the future.

If a servant god of the Church of the Goddess of Night wanted to hide, it would be difficult for them to find him no matter how much effort they put in.

However, they probably wouldn't have thought that although Ciel is the high priest of the Church of the Earth, he is more powerful than the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Night in some aspects.

"Prepare for the worst. If you can't find any clues, start preparing for a fight to the death."

The so-called decisive battle is just like what all the demigods did to Jud Krolov during the Godless Era.

A conspiracy launched at the cost of the faith of all the Five Gods Churches on the entire continent.

"Now is different from the past. Back then, Judd had reasons for doing what he did, and all the priests in the Five Gods Church were true believers."

"Now..." "Perhaps our actions are just in vain."

After the Dark Ages, although the Church of the Five Gods was preserved, it was ultimately very different from the previous Church of the Five Gods.

It was difficult for them to be sure whether the new church from God would fight for those churches and the church's faith as Judd did.

Chapter 179 Chapter 59 After all, I'm not a demon~

After the Dark Ages, the Church of the Five Gods still existed, but in Charles's eyes it looked neither fish nor fowl.

In all the open chapels, chapels, churches and other places of the Church of the Earth, pastors and priests always mispronounce the name of Mother Earth.

Even because of its name, the Church of the Earth was divided into seven or eight churches with different doctrines.

Truly devout pastors are few and far between in these churches, with most viewing faith as a business. Those churches that manage to survive rely on donations from believers for income through activities like weddings, funerals, blessings, and masses.

Because of the decline of the church, true believers are mostly similar to the nun who adopted Mernade. Although they stick to their faith, they are forced to leave the church.

As the high priest of the church, Charles had nothing much to say about the current situation.

People have to live, and they won’t shiver if they give up some things.

It's not particularly uncommon to treat faith as a business. Charles had seen a lot of this in his previous life.

He didn't think about correcting it because he had no position to do so.

After all, he really couldn't put the current church and the church he belonged to together. To the current Church of the Earth, Charles was just a stranger.

This was true both for the popes and for Charles himself.

If one day, those demigods hiding in the darkness really use those churches as a handle to ask him to do something... what happens next will probably depend on Charles's own mood.

Even Charles didn't know what choice he would make at this moment.

Ignore? Intervene? Or just go with the flow and build a new church?

Blending into the shadows, listening to them discuss how to restrict themselves or even eliminate themselves, Charles held his chin and thought seriously.

In the beginning, Charles didn't actually come here, but they always mentioned Charles - although they didn't mention his name directly, but with the authority and power that Charles controlled at that time, Charles would notice as long as they mentioned anything related to Charles.

Charles didn't care once or twice, but you kept muttering about things related to me, and I couldn't even take a good nap, so I had to come over to see what you were discussing.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

"Actually, coming to this world isn't completely without benefits," Ciel said with some emotion. "At least the demigods are still very welcoming."

“Knowing that my experiment was lacking a lot of materials, everyone was very enthusiastic about contributing their own knowledge to help me make this experiment more effective.”

"Reiner still lacks some extraordinary characteristics of a demigod. I also discovered some interesting phenomena through Morin before, which require the voluntary cooperation of some demigods..." Charles, who was squatting in the corner, kept a happy smile on his face.

The dark space is indeed an extraordinary holy relic. Only a subordinate god who does not possess the relevant extraordinary sequence can find it. At the same time, a subordinate god who does not have the extraordinary sequence of an astrologer cannot find the corresponding original body through the gray fog figure.

But these are not a problem for Charles at all~

"They are so enthusiastic, should I cooperate with them to make them happy?" Charles thought seriously.

There is a saying that goes, die with eyes open.

Charles is not a devil, and he would never do such a cruel thing as letting someone die with their eyes open.

So he thought, wait until they have come up with a plan and then cooperate with them, so that they can feel satisfied. This way, their enthusiastic cooperation will not be in vain.

"It's not even night yet, and you're already showing such a lewd smile. You're really hopeless." In the carriage, looking at the faint smile on Charles's lips, Theresa said with some disgust.

She had seen this kind of smile a few times, but it was always shown when Charles mentioned the City of Eternal Night.

Now that she was clearly in the carriage, this bastard was still thinking about what was going on there. Theresa felt a little unhappy.

I was still thinking about confessing my feelings to her in the morning, but it turned out like this in the afternoon.

Men are such pigs.

"I just thought of some happy things." Facing Theresa's disgusted gaze, Charles said seriously.

Melnade on the other side looked at Charles thoughtfully, "Indeed... it is indeed a happier thing for my brother to go there."

puff~

Sif, who was standing by, looked at Charles with a frown on his face and couldn't help but laughed while holding her stomach.

Charles reached out his hand expressionlessly and rubbed Melnadette's cheek fiercely. Then he explained speechlessly, "I need to do some experiments. Someone called me a while ago and prepared a lot of materials for me. I just thought about how to repay him for his help."

Experimental material = demigod, reward = let them die with peace of mind, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

"Experiment? What experiment?" Teresa asked curiously.

"...Have you forgotten? As a lecturer, if you want to be promoted to associate professor, you need to publish a certain number of papers. Although I am still a long way from the position of associate professor, it is definitely a good idea to work hard from now on." Charles explained seriously.

Sif and Theresa nodded in understanding; they were clear about the rules.

However, Teresa's purpose as a lecturer wasn't to get promoted, so she didn't care about thesis or anything like that. Sif used to care about that, but now she's more concerned with the Truth Society.

"By the way, Theresa, Leopold and I want to visit Mr. Doug in the evening."

Theresa automatically ignored the words "and Leopold" that Charles said, and the thought that filtered into her mind was that Charles wanted to visit his father alone.

Thinking of his bold confession this morning - emwww... Although Charles' original words were that if she confessed to him, he might agree, in Theresa's eyes, it was Charles who was confessing to her.

Combining the two things into one, Theresa suddenly had a bold idea in her mind.

Could it be that... Charles wants to go to his father to discuss marriage?

"Yes, it's a bit too, too sudden..." Theresa said weakly with a red face.

?

It's just a simple visit, and by the way, it provides Sif with a chance to remind Doug. What are you thinking, Theresa?

Although he did not use his ability to understand what Theresa was thinking, but looking at Theresa's red cheeks and the heat on her head, Charles guessed part of her thoughts.

Charles reached out his hand speechlessly, turned it into a knife, and gently tapped Theresa's forehead.

"Wake up! It's not just me who's going, but Leopold too."

"Or rather, this time it was mainly because Leopold wanted to visit Mr. Doug about something, and I was just a foil."

Theresa's expression deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a cross appeared on Sif's forehead beside her.

She really felt very tired.

She is clearly working hard for the safety of her family, yet she is still despised by Theresa... It's so hard to be a good person!

P.S.: Well... If you are interested, please join the group. Occasionally, I will write some extra chapters about the characters in this book or about the Five Gods Era. I will vote in the group to decide what to write. I will write about Charles' past experiences, Krolov's adventures, or the establishment of Pallasti...

Chapter 180 Chapter 60 Choice

In the afternoon, Sif carefully organized her statement and attributed all the sources of information to the Truth Association.

Doug attached great importance to this. For safety reasons, he withdrew his forces outside, brought his children back to Moroston overnight, and then sent them to the City of Eternal Night.

Yes, the City of Eternal Night.

In the eyes of most people, the City of Eternal Night is just a place for pleasure and entertainment.

But Doug knew the hidden power there.

At the beginning of the great turmoil, he had tried to entrust his family to Alberk, the dean of the Royal Academy of Moroston. Although he was only a Sequence 4 Saint, Alberk's research in ancient history and his influence in the academic community were enough to ensure that he would not be greatly affected by this turmoil.

As long as it can be confirmed that Alberk has no connection with the miracle, and as long as he does not interfere with the layout of some secret association here, no one will cause trouble for him for no reason.

After all, no one knows whether one day in the future they will encounter some relics that require each other to interpret.

In this era where extraordinary development depends on "archaeology", every expert in the relevant field is worthy of respect and protection.

This is the consensus among demigods.

It's just that Alberk rejected Doug. On the one hand, their relationship can only be described as average - in Alberk's eyes, basically the relationship between him and everyone in the Kingdom of York can be described as average.

Even Endsworth was the same in his eyes. He was not a person who liked interpersonal communication. In Alberk's opinion, it would be better to read more ancient books instead of doing some useless socializing. Maybe he would find some secrets that he had not discovered before by reading them again.

On the other hand, he has a clear understanding of many things.

As a great scholar, he enjoyed many conveniences in many things and also had some face.

This face can bring him a lot of convenience, but this convenience is not unlimited.

The number of people he can protect is not unlimited, so it can be said that the less he uses, the less he has.

Compared to Doug, whom he was not very familiar with, some lecturers and professors who were easy to use were more important to him.

However, after being annoyed by Doug to the point of having no other choice, he provided the other party with a new location.

That is the City of Eternal Night.

In terms of strength, the King of Eternal Night, Drebbel Taplis, is recognized as the strongest Sequence 4 in the Kingdom of York.

In terms of popularity or face, compared to Alberque, a university scholar, Drebel, who runs the world's largest entertainment venue, can be said to have friends (and prostitutes) all over the world.

Many high-level transcendents who came here with missions were themselves friends of Drebbel.

Therefore, they often ignore this place. Even if a battle breaks out here and Drebber cannot cope with it, as long as they can be sure that it has nothing to do with the miracle... some of them may take action secretly.

Doug chose to settle his family here, so that even if he collapsed, his children would be able to keep themselves safe.

The face of the King of Eternal Night is enough to prevent many people from doing anything excessive here. After all, Doug and his men are not the main targets of those secret organizations.

However, he did not place all the children in the City of Eternal Night.

"Rocks, Theresa is left in your care." Doug said seriously in the study.

"Well, I think it would be better for Theresa to be with her brothers and sisters." Charles scratched his head.

"After all, the City of Eternal Night isn't a good place. A girl living there will always be gossip."

"Theresa is not like Anne who already has a husband who loves her, so..." Doug looked at Charles with a smile.

"Of course, if you're worried that her living with you will bring danger to you, I can understand..." Although he said this, in his heart Doug probably still hoped that Theresa could be with her brothers and sisters.

But this is Teresa's own request. As a father, he also hopes that his daughter can be happy.

Although the Shire is slightly more dangerous than the City of Eternal Night, one should not put all their eggs in one basket.

Perhaps in the future, she will be the only "Severus" left.

Things had come to this point, and Charles had no choice but to nod.

Afterwards they chatted about some family matters, and Charles stood up to leave.

"Locks..."

When Charles reached the door, Doug suddenly called him.

Ciel turned around and looked at the other person with some confusion.

"If one day, I mean if." Doug's tone was a little complicated.

"There's only Theresa left in the Severus family..."

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her think about revenge..."

Ciel nodded seriously.
