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

An ordinary face appeared in front of the other person.

This is the face of "Charle Rocks", the man whose everything was stolen by Charles.

In Charles's theft, Charles himself replaced his position in time, fate, and the world, so his face should not exist in this world, and no one will ever see this ordinary cheek.

Pallasti, Perozzi gained a lot.

From the mouths of local residents and from the stone statues that served as my father's companions in the Sin Forest.

The truth is not easy to accept.

But after some things were really confirmed, she felt extremely calm.

"Roden... I really don't want to mention that name. He helped me a lot back then. I heard he had a daughter, and I was thinking of introducing my son to her." A hunched old man had a complicated expression on his face.

"About him?"

“Apart from knowing that he had done something unforgivable, the people he liked to talk about the most during our interactions were probably his daughter and wife.”

"Out of every ten sentences, three or five are related to this topic. He always tells us how cute and well-behaved his daughter is, and calls himself the most irresponsible father."

This was what a middle-aged man who was familiar with her father said to her. Peroz looked a little nostalgic. No matter what her father became, he was always the father who loved her the most.

"Roden? You mean that thief? He took advantage of my trust and made me do such a thing. If Master Mu hadn't noticed, I would have nearly become a criminal of my clan." A middle-aged man said indignantly.

This was an "opponent" who used to have frequent contact with her father.

"Mr. Roden... his death was a worthy one. He longed to take Pallasti's relic, and he had considered the consequences of his failure."

"I tried to persuade him. After all, the relic was of great importance, but he didn't listen. He shouldn't have ended up like this."

This was told to her by someone who to this day still has feelings for her father.

"Mr. Rawdon's death is not that simple." The day before the National Day of the Commemoration, Hogot's expression was a little excited.

"I have interviewed some people who still have a good impression of Mr. Rawdon, and they all said that Mr. Rawdon's death was definitely not just because he wanted to steal the holy relics."

"In the entirety of Pallasti, no outsiders have been killed in nearly a thousand years, let alone sent to the Sin Forest after death." "Regarding the sacred relics, they told me that there have been several thefts in history. In these incidents, apart from the execution of some who went too far, most of the people were expelled from Pallasti."

"But Mr. Rawdon was executed with his companions, and he had no peace in his afterlife."

"In their own words, their actions were not sinful enough!"

Pallasti is a city with relatively relaxed laws. Due to ideological education, blessings within the city, and restrictions on entry, few people, whether outsiders or locals, are actually executed.

Even during the darkest Dark Ages in the entire world, Pallasti maintained a record of nearly five hundred years in which no one was expelled or executed for breaking the law.

It is normal in other countries to be executed for stealing holy relics and exiled to the forest of sin to warn the world, but in Pallasti, the way this behavior is handled is very strange.

You know, under the laws of Pallasti, the most serious crime is unprovoked killing. Holy objects and extraordinary qualities, which are precious in the outside world, are not as important here.

Even if the source of life was stolen, according to the previous laws it was only considered a "theft of a large amount of property". Locals would be imprisoned for a period of time for labor reform, and outsiders would take away everything they obtained from Pallasti and be deported.

But Rotun and his companions all died...

There must be information that they don't know.

"You've also seen the diaries of Gerald, Jack, and Uncle George..." Peroz smiled and shook his head. "No matter what the reason was, Father did what he did, didn't he?"

"Roden must be mad to steal a sacred object from a country ruled by three demigods. I don't want to accompany a madman on some crazy endeavor, but... when I think of the benefits I can bring, I know I can't back out of this operation. I don't know when someone said, 'Fortune and honor are sought in danger.' Perhaps this is an opportunity for me!" - Gerard Lamarr

"Mr. Rotten tried to persuade me to withdraw from this operation, but I ultimately refused. It was a crazy thing to do, and it went against my principles. But... when I realized that this was what Mr. Rotten wanted to do, I knew I couldn't just sit back and watch. I always thought I was terrified of death, but when death approached, I discovered it wasn't as scary as I'd imagined. It's just a shame I won't be able to eat Old Barton's Roxbury Chicken again." - Jack Wilson

“This was the most wrong decision I’ve made in my adventuring career, but I agreed to it without hesitation when he asked me. I’m old now, and I can’t continue to explore more dangerous places like before. I can’t imagine that my future will be like other useless old guys, reading newspapers and basking in the sun every day. Adventurers should die on the road of adventure.” - George Page

Three of my father's good friends and three people who accompanied my father all wrote down some things in their diaries.

No matter what other things she didn't know, at least one thing was certain.

My father did indeed do such a thing.

No matter how unwilling you are to face it or believe it, what you have done has been done and you cannot deny it.

No matter how many hidden secrets there are, it is wrong and cannot be refuted.

"Peroz..." Hogot wanted to say something.

"Don't worry, teacher. I'm not that sad." Peroz smiled faintly. "I'm already satisfied to know more about my father."

"I'm not a child anymore. I know there's no perfect person in the world. The source of life might be my father's lifeline."

"Maybe it's for himself, maybe it's for me, or maybe it's for my mother."

"But whatever the reason in his heart, it is not an excuse for him to do such a thing."

"If it's wrong, it's wrong. There's no reason for it."

After saying these words, she looked at Hogot's somewhat relieved face and continued, "I will give my all to this sacred hunt on National Day."

"I will ask Mr. Mori about everything about my father's past. I will fill in the last pieces of our investigation."

"Afterwards, I will do my best to make amends to those who were hurt by my father's decision."

Although he looks free and easy on the outside, Peroz still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. There are some things that he can say, but it is difficult to accept them.

Like most children, her father was always omnipotent and perfect in her heart when she was young.

Unlike most children, even when she grew up, she still had such expectations for her father.

Now, the dream is shattered.

but...

No matter what the results of this investigation are, Dad is always Dad. He may have done many excessive things, but his feelings for me are indeed pure.

Think about it from another angle. If a not-so-perfect father can always maintain his perfect side in front of his wife, doesn’t that represent his love for his wife?

"It's a pity that I don't have any experience to help you with hunting." Hogot's strength was quite good, but unfortunately all his skill points were spent on escaping and staying alive, so his combat power could only rely on some small props.

However, no items other than clothing are allowed during the sacred hunt.

If he goes, he will probably only drag down Peroz.

"With teachers cheering me on from outside, I can be more motivated," Peroz said with a smile.

Palasti, temple.

This is the most central place in the entire Palasti.

But unexpectedly, this place is very simple. There are no gods enshrined in the temple, only three sacred objects.

Sitting below the three holy objects was a person who looked graceful, beautiful and dignified.

"Blue, I heard that you received several outsiders."

"Yes, Lord Mori. They have passed the city's test and are also very interested in Parasti." Blue half-knelt on the ground with an extremely respectful expression.

"I heard that there are several outsiders in town who are trying to find out about Rawdon's affairs." His tone was elegant and unworldly. Although it was calm, it brought great pressure to people.

"They...they just have some interest in that person. You know, that criminal is quite famous in the outside world."

"What are their names?" Lord Mori nodded and asked casually.

"The older man seems to be called Hogot Barton, and the girl's name should be Peroz Krolov."

Lord Mori nodded silently, then waved his hand. Blue quickly stood up, bowed, and slowly walked out of the temple.

"Peroz, that guy's child." A slight smile appeared on Lord Mori's face. He waved his hand, and a wooden photo frame appeared in his hand.

There was no photo in the frame, but someone had carved out a painting with a knife.

"As expected... every time I see it, I find it so ugly..."

A sigh sounded in the temple, and then he slowly stood up and took out a bell from his arms.

In a blink of an eye.

The clear sound of bells filled the entire Palasti.

-

Section 146 Chapter 26 Forest and Tradition

At this moment, Parasti is at its busiest time of the day.

But when the bell rang, everyone put down their work and slowly walked out the door.

"This voice... Lord Mori, it must be Lord Mori." Some voices sounded in the crowd.

"Is there any new revelation? Or is there something that Lord Mori wants us to help with?"

"The Sacred Hunt, it must be the Sacred Hunt."

"Mr. Mori must be wanting a dress made of rainbow fox."

"If that's all, there's no need to ring the bell! I have a freshly caught one at home. If Lord Mori needs it, I'll send it to him right away."

Although it was noisy, at this time everyone in Palasti put down their work and walked out of the room.

Strangely, no mass incidents occurred here. Although there was chaos, there was a certain amount of spontaneous order.

Peroz and Hogot, who had been discussing matters related to tomorrow's sacred hunt in the room, also walked out of the room.

Faced with such a lively scene, they felt a little strange.

"Sir, can I ask what happened?" Hogot stopped a native in front of him who looked a little excited and asked.

"Strangers?" the man asked after taking a look at the attire of Perozzi and Hogot.

The two nodded.

"Then it has nothing to do with you." He said nonchalantly as he raised his head and looked in the direction of the temple.

"Just a little curious." Hogot continued.

"The bell just now belonged to the High Priest. Whenever the bell rings, it means that the High Priest has something for us to do."

"So this matter has little to do with you."

The young man stretched out his hand, waved the spear upwards, and let out some meaningless roars, while speaking excitedly to the two of them.

"If that's the case, then everyone wouldn't be so excited." Peroz asked curiously.

Generally speaking, when a superior leaves an order, the subordinates should not be so happy unless they are rewarded.

"Outsiders are indeed strange."

"The High Priest has been protecting us all the time. Now that there is finally something that requires our help, of course we are excited." The young man looked at Peroz strangely, and after saying these words, he no longer paid attention to what they were excitedly saying to their companions beside them.

"When I give up taking risks, I will probably choose this place as my home." Some similar words around him floated in his ears, and he couldn't help but say to Peroz beside him.

"I hope that by then, Professor Hogot will still be the same as he is now." Peroz couldn't help laughing.

Pallasti is a city of kindness, and only those who pass the judgment are qualified to enter.

Even only those who passed the judgment were qualified to meet the out-of-town Palasti warriors.

Many people can pass this assessment the first time, but find it difficult to pass the second time.

After all, after coming here and returning to their hometown, they will find that as long as they are a little "smarter", they can take wealth and power away from this city.

They can convince themselves with ideas like "cooperation" and "win-win", but they cannot shake the rules engraved in this city.

The two were joking with each other, and at this moment, Sen, the priest of Pallasti, slowly walked out of the temple.

His attire was different from Pallasti's overall fur skirt. He wore simple linen clothes, an emerald green Tree of Life cane, and some simple colored stone accessories.

Imperfect things when put on him make people think of perfection.

These things seemed to be made for him.

Hogot's breathing suddenly quickened, and Peroz couldn't help but lower his head.

So beautiful~

Almost in an instant, everyone's breathing stopped.

"Lord Mori!" After a moment, cheers continued to ring out.

Sen waved his hand and everyone stopped talking.

"Tomorrow is the annual sacred hunt." His figure was not big but everyone could see him, and his voice was soft but everyone could hear it clearly.

"Everyone is looking forward to it." "However, I hope to change the rules of the Sacred Hunt."

Prasati became noisy again.
