Banner of the Evil God

The current Keen City is indeed a mess.

Various ambitious people flocked in, like a group of sharks smelling blood, or a group of flies chasing a rotten corpse, which is really disgusting.

Most of these guys have bad personalities, and many of them can even be called "scum". As for those with good personalities, how many would do such a despicable thing as taking advantage of someone else's brother's death to rob the little girl's property and delusionally get both the money and the person?

Sui Xiong carefully scanned the entire city and actually found an acquaintance.

He was a middle-aged man with half white hair. His demeanor was calm and peaceful, and his every word and action was full of confident charm. And his strength was not weak either. He practiced both bards and thieves, and his total strength reached a high-level level. He was a real master.

For Sui Xiong, this person's strength was naturally not worth mentioning. What he found interesting was his identity.

He had seen this person before, but that was decades ago. At that time, he had just arrived on land and was planning to build a church of his own. In order to recruit outstanding territorial officials, he traveled a long distance from the Ash Forest in the northwest of the continent to the Mystic Tower Federation in the south of the continent.

On the way, he passed by a pioneering territory called Viscount Gelten Territory, which was located on the edge of civilized society. At that time, the old lord of the pioneering territory died, and the heir Miss Steele was corrupt and could be called a tyrant. Everyone disliked her. At this time, a young man named Roman appeared with some certificates left by Viscount Gelten, indicating that he was the illegitimate son of the Viscount and was here to compete for the right of succession.

That matter was really a toss, and in the end, the one who inherited Viscount Gelten was neither Steele nor Romane, but an unknown little girl named Orian.

Orian was a member of the collateral branch of the Gelten family, and her original succession order was very low. But in the Gelten family at that time, she was the most talented and most likely to lead Gelten Territory to prosperity. So after Sui Xiong used the prophecy spell to find her, he assisted her with all his strength and helped her become the lord.

Of course, Orian has a solid foundation. She is the only student of the famous legendary warrior "Black Blade" Vol. Later, Vol was deified and became the god of knowledge and education. She became the only elect of this god and gained eternal life and powerful power.

Today, Orian Gelten is already a world-famous strongman and wise man. She manages Gelten Territory and has been developing and progressing steadily. Now this small remote territory has become the largest stationery production center in the entire main plane. In addition to the herbal cultivation industry launched not long ago, although Gelten Territory has not many residents, the per capita income level is extremely high, and the degree of wealth is probably second only to the famous Void Mask Amusement Park.

Speaking of which, Gelten Territory and Keen Territory are somewhat similar. The difference is that the lord of Gelten Territory is powerful and has an outrageously strong backer behind him, so no one dares to take the idea of ​​​​that territory. The foundation of Keen Territory is shallow, and the most powerful masters are only a few high-level adventurers, and there is no strong backing behind them. If not, how could such a large group of unknown guys come to attack his sister when Creek is not dead yet and is only "seriously ill and dying"?

After Orian inherited the position of Viscount Gelten, he expelled Steele, who lost in the competition for the right of succession. Later, Steele followed Sui Xiong and experienced many encounters. Now he has become the director of the "Red Pig Medical Clinic" in the Void Mask Amusement Park and a world-renowned medical and first aid master.

However, what people are more familiar with is the master's unscrupulous lifestyle. Back then, she claimed that "as long as it is a man, nothing will be spared", and in recent years, it has developed to the point of "as long as it is strong or cute, gender is not a problem"...

At that time, another person who participated in the competition for the right of succession was the illegitimate son Romon, but when he was about to be exposed as a fake, he took advantage of a small gap that Sui Xiong did not notice and escaped, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. Sui Xiong didn't meet him again until today.

Decades later, Luo Meng has aged a lot. Half of his hair is white, and there are many more wrinkles on his face. But his handsome appearance is still the same, and his temperament is more mature and reliable. Now he is a teacher to the second son of a noble, or a military advisor, and is giving advice to this little guy who wants to have both money and people.

"Master Stephen, what do you think is your advantage?" Luo Meng, who wears a monocle and looks like a scholar, asked gently.

The boy named Stephen is a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old, who looks immature. I don't know what happened to his family, but he actually let this little guy who lacks social experience and even has a confused look come out to propose marriage. Looking at his silly and soft appearance, it is a miracle that he was not killed and robbed on the road!

"I think... I was born in the Carter family, does this count?" Stephen thought for a while and asked without much confidence.

Romon smiled slightly and shook his head: "As the famous and powerful earl of the Kingdom of Thousand Springs, the Carter family is of course very influential. However, Master Stephen, you are only the sixth current heir to the Carter family. There are three people above you. Brother and two uncles, unless they all die of a sudden illness, it will never be your turn to inherit the title. If they really die all of a sudden, I'm afraid the entire Carter family will encounter a huge crisis. It's probably not your turn to inherit the title - I got sick and died together, but it's your turn."

"Wuwu...Teacher, please don't be so mean..."

"I just urge you to recognize the reality as soon as possible." Luo Meng smiled slightly without any mercy, "Okay, the answer is wrong, find your advantage again!"

Stephen thought for a long time and asked tentatively: "I'm pretty good-looking..."

Romon was stunned for a moment, looked at Stephen's face carefully, and nodded: "That's true. Master, your appearance can at least be ranked among the top ten suitors this time. If you dress up well, you will be the best." Five is also very promising.”

"Then I got the answer right?" The young man became happy.

Luo Meng's face immediately turned gloomy: "Totally wrong! What's the use of a good-looking man? Are you going to sing in an opera?"

"It is said that Mr. Crick is a person who is enthusiastic about art. He may like opera singers..." The young man whispered, "Actually, I am really good at singing."

Luo Meng sighed deeply, and Sui Xiong, who was hiding in the air above them, could clearly feel that he was trying to suppress the anger and frustration in his heart.

After a while, he calmed down and sighed: "Master Stephen, if Lord Baron is in good health, maybe you can really win his appreciation with your handsome appearance and outstanding literary talent, and win a beauty or something." , it is not impossible. But please note that his physical condition is very bad now, and it can even be said that he has reached a critical moment. At this time, what he needs is not a handsome and talented brother-in-law, but a man who can protect and keep his sister. Excellent man from Keen!”

"I'm definitely not good at this." Stephen lowered his head, his face full of frustration, "Whether it's swordsmanship or archery, I'm not good at anything! And my magic skills are also very average... I'm a little confident in singing, and I'm not confident in fighting at all. None."

The teacher knows best what his own strength is. If he wants to protect a girl who is being spied on by countless villains, and to defend Baron Keen, who has wealth but is not strong enough, it is really impossible to rely on his strength!

"This judgment is quite wise. Master, your mind is actually very smart, but it just needs some time to grow." Luo Meng smiled and encouraged his student, and then said, "Actually, you only see the disadvantageous side of yourself. , but didn’t see the upside.”

"Which side is advantageous?" Stephen asked curiously.

"First of all, it's age." Luo Meng said with a smile, "I've done some research. Among the unmarried men who came to propose marriage this time, excluding those mysterious and shady men who are innocent and have the potential to achieve marriage, who are you? The youngest.”

"Is age considered an advantage?" Stephen asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's an advantage!" Romon showed his signature confident smile again, "Miss Anna is only fourteen years old this year, and among the other suitors, the youngest is already twenty-two. In terms of age , you are the only one suitable for her."

"Twenty-two and fourteen...the difference isn't that big, right? My uncle is forty and still marries a fourteen-year-old."

"Don't talk about forty years old, I have seen sixty-year-olds marry fourteen-year-olds." Romon laughed, "However, those are often marriages with unequal status, or even just toying with girls. In aristocratic society, status is not equal. For a marriage of equals, the age difference cannot be too big. Of course, the age difference between twenty-two and fourteen years is not unacceptable, but in comparison, isn't fifteen and fourteen years more appropriate? "

Stephen thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "When you put it like that, I feel that I do have a great advantage."

"Not only that, you currently do not have a strict church status and can change your faith at any time. As far as I know, Miss Anna is a believer of His Majesty the Mask of the Void. You can also believe in this powerful god." Romon said During the "Mask of the Void", a trace of melancholy flashed through my heart. Sui Xiong in the sky saw it clearly, and I couldn't help but be secretly amused.

"Mask of the Void? Teacher, don't you often say that this god is a bit unreliable?" Stephen asked curiously.

"Yes, His Majesty is not very reliable in what he does, but he is powerful enough!" Romon said with a wry smile, "For us now, completing the marriage will allow you to gain a reliable foundation and avoid the Carter family. The overt and covert fight for inheritance is the top priority, and everything else can be compromised."

Sui Xiong was secretly angry when he heard this - what do you mean by "giving in to everything else"? Brother Xiong considers himself to be a good character. In these years of wandering around the world, he has never done any extremely evil things, such as burning, killing, robbing, or robbing. He has also never done such immoral things as breaking down widows’ doors and digging graves for dead families, such as giving birth to a son without an asshole. How can he believe that he can do anything? What about content that requires "concession"? And you still look aggrieved... Luo Meng, are you so embarrassed? Are you a decent person? Back then, you pretended to be someone else's son to usurp someone else's property. How the hell did you even do such a thing, and you still deserve to be regarded as a decent person? How shameless!

But even so, he had to admit that Stephen seemed like a good choice.

Luo Meng, that bastard, hadn't seen him for decades, and this time when they met, he really gave him a big gift...
