Banner of the Evil God

Being cute is justice, and being pretty is an advantage. This kind of thing is the same in any world.

For example, on Earth, there are many rare animals, and quite a few of them are as rare as giant pandas. However, those who can enjoy the same level of treatment as giant pandas are almost all cute without exception... Look, the Arctic wolf, Cuban crocodile, dwarf rhino, all of them died with their eyes wide open. They are all of the same rarity, and maybe their own populations are even smaller, so why are their social status completely different?

Just look at your face and you will know. Who told you to be ugly and not cute!

And if we turn this topic to marriage, it will be even more obvious. Before Xiong Ge traveled through time, he knew a novelist who was wealthy, had a stable income, and was also quite famous in society. He was a number one celebrity in both the illustration and animation circles. But this man who looked like a rich man at first glance, had no girlfriend until he was in his thirties, and he finally got one and was dumped.

Why is this? Isn't it just that he is ugly, tall, big, fat and strong like a bear? The saddest thing is that he has a fierce face. Even when he smiles, he always makes people feel that his eyes are fierce. With his shiny bald head and neat white teeth, he looks like a man who is going to travel to the United States and plant a few bombs...

Back then, he and Brother Xiong were in the same game guild, and the girl who drew illustrations he pursued also knew Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong often went to dungeons together to fight for equipment. This big guy has taken care of his illustration business more than once. He really said a lot of good things for him and worked hard to assist. However, in the end, the girl said: "I don't mind his appearance too much, but if we get married and have a daughter who looks like him, what should we do?"

What to do? How about going to Korea for plastic surgery?

Brother Xiong suggested so, and then the girl blocked him.

On Earth, in such a developed and open society, appearance is so important. In this world, in a relatively closed and backward society, appearance is even more important.

Stephen Carter's appearance is indeed impeccable. He can really make a living by his face and become a superstar by his appearance. In fact, Romon himself is also at this level, but he is old. Men in middle age are not suitable to be idols. For Anna, she doesn't know all the suitors, so in comparison, this super handsome guy is of course the best.

But... Creek thought about it afterwards and always felt a little worried. He whispered to Amy Wei in private: "This guy is prettier than my sister. Will my sister have psychological pressure when she gets married in the future?"

Amy Wei didn't care. In her opinion, the most important thing in marriage is stability and loyalty. Appearance and feelings are not that important.

But... that young master Stephen is indeed a little too beautiful...

That night, Romon returned to the hotel and handed a projection crystal to Stephen.

"Here, this is Miss Anna's." He said lightly.

Stephen took the crystal casually. He didn't care at first, but when he heard his words, he was stunned.

"Teacher...what did you do today?"

"What? Nothing." Romon said nonchalantly, "I went out this morning and first visited the High Priest of the Void Mask Church, Lord Milomon, and then visited Lord Crick under his introduction, and then talked about cooperation and marriage. Lord Crick said that it is better for you young people to decide on this kind of thing, so I showed Miss Anna your projection crystal. Then Miss Anna seemed to like you very much, and Lord Crick asked her to record a projection crystal for you."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I didn't peek. You can go back to your room and watch it quietly." Romon smiled and touched his student's head, "But you have to learn to be more stable, after all, you are about to get married."

Stephen blushed immediately, hesitating and unable to speak.

Romon laughed and let Stephen leave with the projection crystal. He returned to the room and took out the doctrine of the Void Mask Church given by High Priest Milomon, and studied it carefully.

His strength has reached a bottleneck, and he needs to prepare to impact the legendary realm. Theoretically, he can certainly be a legendary bard or a legendary thief, which is what he originally planned. But now he has changed his mind and plans to start from the direction of a pastor or a priest and try to become a legendary clergyman.

This is certainly not easy, but it is the easiest for a clergyman to enter the legendary realm. Just based on this advantage, it is worth his effort.

Romon has always been a very realistic person, which has made him lose a lot, but also gain a lot.

When he was young, he also thought about changing himself and becoming a positive and passionate young man. But now he is middle-aged, and it is too late to change. Let it be, there is nothing wrong.

It's just... looking at the doctrine that overflows with enthusiasm and righteousness from the lines, full of liveliness and enthusiasm, and then comparing it with his almost withered heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To be a clergyman, you must first be a devout believer. Romon asked himself if he was willing to die in order to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Void Faceless, but he really couldn't agree with His Majesty the Void Faceless's overly naive and kind teachings.

To be honest, His Majesty the Void Mask has a very good vision. For example, He believes that the reason why there are so many disputes in this world is ultimately due to the struggle for the means of production. The emergence of nations, countries, races... these organizations are nothing more than an alliance formed by various ties to compete for the means of production. And even within the same organization, there is also a struggle for the means of production... These statements made Romon feel very open-minded. Compared with his wandering experiences over the years, he deeply felt that they made a lot of sense, as if he had uncovered a layer of gauze covering his eyes and saw the truth of the whole world more clearly.

However, His Majesty the Void Mask's explanation of the method to solve the dispute made Romon very dissatisfied. The jellyfish god believes that the dispute cannot solve the problem. Not only can it not increase the means of production, but it will consume the means of production. Therefore, the more wars there are, the greater the damage to social production. If there are years of war, it may even develop to the point where people are living in poverty and starving. In order to avoid this mistake, we must promote progress. Whether it is technological progress or management progress, it can increase production efficiency or reduce the consumption of means of production. In this way, either increasing output or reducing consumption can effectively reduce the competition for means of production.

This statement is not unreasonable, but Romon thinks it is too idealistic. He thinks that most people in this world, especially those powerful guys, must tend to snatch other people's things and take them for themselves.

He can't talk about big principles, but all the facts he has seen over the years have proved this point.

His Majesty the Void Mask's teachings are good and his ideals are beautiful, but they are destined to be unattainable.

... Of course, the teachings and ideas of most gods in the world are unattainable, and they don't care about one more giant jellyfish. But Romon doesn't agree with this set of ideas, so he can't become a devout believer of His Majesty the Void Mask. If he can't become a devout believer, he naturally can't become a priest.

This is an irreversible iron law. The core of the priest's power comes from God, and the most critical limitation of how much power they can reach is the degree of fit between them and God.

Not every believer who can deeply fit the concept of the gods can become a high-level priest, but a high-level priest must be a believer who deeply fits the concept of the gods.

Romon couldn't make himself fit the concept of His Majesty the Void Mask, so he couldn't become a priest at all. At best, he could only be a general believer - understand the teachings of God, respect it, and act according to it, even if he didn't agree with it.

In fact, he was quite in line with the concept of the God of Conspiracy, but the God of Conspiracy was not only stingy, but also had a problem with his style of doing things. Romon really didn't want to entrust his life to a god who had no credit and often did evil, so he couldn't really believe in the God of Conspiracy.

(People like me probably won't really believe in anyone...)

Romon thought self-deprecatingly, put down the teachings of the Void Mask, and turned to think about what to do next.

In the future, he must play the role of "Crick Keen". He asked himself if he had the ability to play this role well, at least to ensure that outsiders would not see the clues. But just like this, is it considered to have completed the order of His Majesty the Void Mask well?

Probably not.

His Majesty the Void Mask probably meant to make Keen County stable and prosperous, as the base for the development of the Void Mask Church in the south. If he wants to complete this task well and get His Majesty's appreciation, then he must assist Anna Keen and develop Keen County well.

But... this is not easy!

Thinking of the mediocre performance of the little girl he saw during the day, he had a headache.

The most feared thing for a minister is to meet those mediocre masters. Masters with excellent abilities are naturally excellent, and those with poor abilities can be fooled, and it is not necessarily difficult to deal with them. Only those with mediocre abilities or slightly better than ordinary people are the most difficult to deal with. The method of fooling is not easy to use for them, but it is impossible to expect them to come up with a good solution themselves. Since ancient times, I don’t know how many outstanding people have been exhausted by such mediocre masters, and finally even died of exhaustion.

Roman had never been with Anna Keen, so he didn't know if the girl was someone who would listen to advice. He just hoped that the lord who was going to succeed him would not have a strong personality and a strong desire for power, otherwise, things would be really difficult!

"Alas! It would be great if Master Stephen was the lord!"

Stephen Carter's talent was not outstanding. He was probably a little better than a mediocre person, but still a little bit away from being a talent. But he had a big advantage, his personality - he was gentle and willing to listen to people's opinions. If he met an ambitious person, he would easily be sidelined and his power would be stolen. But for a minister who loyally assisted him, it was really the best.

In the history of the earth, Liu Chan, the last emperor of Shu Han, was such a person, and the story of his relationship with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang had been widely circulated, so that after the new era, a group of "young historians with conscience" jumped out and beat around the bush to find some conspiracy theories to hype their own reputation.

If Stephen was the lord and Luo Meng was the advisor, maybe it would be the alien version of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.

However... this is impossible.

Luo Meng thought about it, shook his head and smiled.

If things were easy to handle, why would His Majesty the Void Mask give it to him?

Even if it is difficult, you have to do it well, so as to show your ability!

... However, before that, there is still one important thing to do.

He took out a secret document that Lord Creek gave him before leaving. This document almost covers all the people who came to propose marriage, and it is quite detailed.

And what he has to do is to study this document carefully again and try to catch all these people in one fell swoop!
