Chapter 67
An atmosphere of joy filled the small manor, and everyone was beaming. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because, the lord who has been suffering from having no offspring, finally welcomed his son today. The inheritance crisis that has plagued this territory has finally been resolved.
This is a great joy! You must know that nobles who do not have the right to inherit will be repossessed after their death. That not only means that his family is cut off, but also means that his subordinates have lost their protection, and even his subjects are inevitably unlucky - most of the new nobles and lords don't know how much money they have spent to get the territory, and they are greedy and ruthless, and they will establish authority as soon as they come, and the object of their authority is naturally the people.
It's chilling to think about that situation.
In contrast, although the lord of his own family is a little less reliable, at least he is not a bad person, and he has some affection for everyone who knows the roots. It's always a good choice to let his family rule.
When Sui Xiong quietly came to this manor, what he saw was a scene of laughter and laughter.
With his divine power, the mind of a mortal is simply transparent in his eyes, and he knows what it is at a glance.
After looking at it for a while, he nodded secretly, and there was a little joy in his heart.
"This lord is not bad, I didn't save the wrong person. ”
Moments later, he met the lord who was leading a large group of people to worship the newly built Void Kamen Idol.
The baron's face was now full of red light, and he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, just like the sad look he had at the beginning. From him, a strong and somewhat dazzling light of faith rose, as if he had become a fanatical believer in Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong shook his head. After the celebration was over, he secretly appeared in front of him.
"You've got a son. That's a good thing. But why bother with such a big ceremony!" he said, "I don't think your manor is large. It doesn't look like you have a lot of money, what's the point of slapping a swollen face and being fat?"
The baron smiled, and did not distinguish, but thanked him again and again.
There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, Sui Xiong just said a few words casually, but in fact, he didn't take it to heart. After chatting for a few words, he couldn't help but ask how this guy got into trouble with the family goddess in the first place?
It is not common for mortals to provoke gods. Generally speaking. Only a strong man of Leon's level at the beginning would make the gods angry and punish him.
However, when he asked, he couldn't help laughing - the reason why this guy angered the family goddess was because he became a matchmaker and matched a pair of young people. And the woman among the young people is none other than a saint of the Church of the Goddess of the Family.
The vast majority of churches have a "Holy Son" system, and the so-called Holy Son is specially cultivated. A person who is specially used to bring the gods possessed at the necessary time. If such a person is a woman, he is called a holy woman.
Whether it is a son or a holy woman, there are generally quite strict requirements. And an important requirement of the goddess of the family for the saint is abstinence.
"You're so bold enough to help someone else seduce the saint of someone's church...... He wasn't killed. It's a blessing!"
After learning what happened, Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile and curse.
"I didn't know it at the time, Your Majesty!" cried the baron, "until he put them on the high-flying ship." I opened the gift they left for me, and I realized that I had caused a catastrophe......"
After learning the truth. This guy was so scared that he didn't even dare to go back to the hotel, and he didn't even dare to ask for luggage. Betake oneself to one's heels. It was also thanks to his fast running that the knights of the Church of the Family Goddess couldn't catch up, allowing him to escape from life.
But he can escape the pursuit of mortals, but he cannot escape the punishment of the gods. The goddess of the family cursed him and punished him for cutting off his offspring.
This was fifteen or sixteen years ago, when he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and now he was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
After hearing what he said, Sui Xiong nodded slightly, and asked, "Now that you have a child, what are you going to do?" Let me tell you, although I can help you resolve the curse, but the anger of the family goddess has not yet subsided, you must let him dissipate his anger. ”
“...... If I had a way, would I have been down until now?"
Sui Xiong thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. Even if Sui Xiong can protect him for a while, how can he protect him for a lifetime?
In this world, if you want to have the power to protect yourself under the wrath of the gods, you must at least become a legendary powerhouse like Leon. And this unlucky guy is not as good as even the lowest-level entry-level adventurer, he is purely a rookie.
After thinking about it, he finally tried to send a message to the family goddess, asking how to make this goddess dissipate her anger and let go of this mortal who had been punished for more than ten years.
The answer from the goddess of the family soon came, and she said that if the nobleman offered a child to him as the son of his church, the matter would be settled.
The baron suddenly had a bitter face - he finally had a son, and he still had to keep the family business, how could he go to the Church of the Family Goddess to be a holy son!
However, Sui Xiong's eyes rolled and he had an idea: "What are you afraid of!
"Huh?"
"You're only in your thirties, what's so hard about adding fuel and having a few more children now?"
The baron suddenly came to his senses, and finally put his mind at ease.
In the bright temple, the graceful and luxurious family goddess sighed and shook her head.
"How's it going?" asked a tall and majestic figure next to him.
"Although he is willing to be reasonable, he is a slippery head. The goddess of the family said, "It is not easy to subdue Him!"
"It's not easy, how can a strong person who can cultivate a god of knowledge be so easy to be subdued. The majestic figure smiled and said, "But no matter how difficult it is, try it." He may not be of much value in Himself, but His one means a lot from God. If it can be included in our human god system, it will be of great help to our development and growth!"
"It's really amazing to say, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people have been on the road of wisdom and culture, but only now has someone taken a key step to achieve the separation of 'wisdom'. Although it is said that it is a matter of time, it is precisely now happening, and it is precisely in the hands of His followers, which is a strange feeling. The glowing figure touched his chubby chin, thinking and muttering to himself, "Could it be ...... It's a turbulent era again, is this big jellyfish the key person who carries the fate?"
"Haha...... No, how can the fate of the world be carried by a jellyfish!" He laughed, as if he thought it was funny.
The family goddess hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty...... To accept the God of Knowledge would be to make enmity with the Lord of Mysteries......"
"If you are an enemy, you will be an enemy, what does it matter?" the tall figure laughed, "others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid! My Floating Hammer has been lonely for so many years, and it would be good to have a good opponent to let it practice once." ”
Of course, Sui Xiong couldn't know about the things in other people's kingdoms. He solved the baron's problem and stayed in his domain for the time being to watch his temple be built.
The baron's surname was Henry, and at Sui Xiong's suggestion, he named his eldest son "Ou".
"Does the name have any special significance?" asked Baron Henry.
"Of course it makes sense, that means he's going to be a man of culture. Sui Xiong replied very eloquently, seemingly seriously.
Baron Henry was satisfied with this answer, and he was also satisfied with His Majesty's plans for his son's future.
As a nobleman, being a cultural person who is far away from strife can be called a very face-saving and stylish way of life. Compared to those who practice martial arts and run away to become adventurers, only to know where they die, or those who have learned spells and then squandered their family wealth in the study of spells, they have become a cultural person, whether they are poets, scholars, painters, musicians, all in all, they are very good.
...... Of course, he didn't know what Sui Xiong was thinking, "This name is very suitable for being a comedian, and cross talk must be very promising."
Baron Henry was not wealthy, and the temple was not large. Even so, it was not something that Baron Henry could afford on his own, and the reason why it was successfully built was mainly due to the support of the Church of the Void Mask.
Relying on the teleportation array built with the highest priority, enough wealth and manpower were successfully delivered to complete this simple temple.
It does not use tall arches and stone pillars like ordinary temples, nor does it have towering statues or ornate reliefs, but is a house made of brick and wood. It is taller than the average house, has a specially decorated gate, and there are many paintings hanging in the house, and that's it.
By the way, several of those paintings are signed by the author "Hailuo"—in fact, Sui Xiong's pen name for himself.
A few days before the first snow fell that year, the shrine was finally completed and the first formal sacrifice was held.
And the person who presided over the entire sacrificial ceremony was the werewolf scout who switched to the Void Masquerade Church because of his love for food, Milomon.
This orc-turned-half-orc food lover learned cooking for a long time in the Void Mask Playground and eventually became a glorious priest.
Why does learning to cook make you a priest......?
All in all, Milomon, who turned to a priesthood, did a good job, very qualified and competent. In particular, he often led his followers to banquets in addition to the rituals, and although most of the dishes he cooked were home-cooked, his exquisite craftsmanship and keen sense of taste still conquered everyone's stomachs, and he also made a great contribution to spreading the faith of the Void Mask Church.
Well, good, good. (To be continued.) )
