The current Keane City is indeed a miasma of black smoke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

All sorts of careerists flocked to the city, like a school of sharks smelling blood, and like a swarm of flies chasing a rotting corpse, which was really disgusting.

Most of these guys have terrible character, and many of them can even be called "scum". As for those with good character, how many of them will take advantage of the death of other people's brothers to seek to rob the little girl's family property, and delusionally think that people and money will be both cheap?

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

It was a middle-aged man with half-gray hair, his demeanor was calm and calm, and his words and deeds were full of confidence and charm. And his strength is not weak, a bard and a thief, and his total strength has reached a high-level level, a real master.

For Sui Xiong, this person's strength is naturally not worth mentioning, what he finds interesting is this person's identity.

He'd seen this man, and that was decades ago. Not long after he arrived on land, he was planning to build a church of his own, and in order to recruit outstanding territorial officials, he traveled long distances 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 pioneer lord on the edge of civilized society called the Viscount of Gerten. At that time, the old lord of the frontier was dead, and the heir, Miss Steele, was a corrupt man, and everyone did not like her. At this time, a young man named Romon appeared, carrying some certificates left by Viscount Gerten, indicating that he was the illegitimate son of the Viscount and was coming to compete for the inheritance.

It was a real toss-up, and in the end it was neither Steele nor Romon who inherited Viscount Gerten, but an unknown little girl named Orion.

Orion is a member of the Gerten family, and originally had a low succession line. But in the Gerten family at that time, she was the most talented and most likely to lead Gerten to prosperity. So after Sui Xiong used the prophecy spell to find her, he did his best to help her become a lord.

Of course, Orien's foundation is thick enough. She was the only student of the legendary powerhouse "Black Blade" Woel, who later became the god of knowledge and education, and became the only chosen person of the god, gaining permanent life and great power.

Today, Orianne Gerten is a world-renowned powerhouse and sage. She manages the Gerten Collar and has been steadily progressing. Now this small territory in the middle of nowhere has become the largest stationery production center in the entire main plane. Coupled with the recently launched herbal cultivation industry, although there are 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 Playground.

Speaking of which, the Gelten Collar and the Keane Collar are somewhat similar. The difference is that the lord of the Gelten Territory is powerful, and there are ridiculously strong backers behind him, and no one dares to fight the idea of that territory. And Keane's foundation is shallow, and the most powerful masters are just a few high-level adventurers, and there is no strong backer behind them - if this is not the case, how could it be that Crick is not dead, just "seriously ill and dying", there is such a large group of unknown guys running to fight his sister's idea?

After Orien succeeded to the throne of Viscount Gerten, he expelled Steele, who had lost the race for succession. Later, Steele followed Sui Xiong, and after many encounters, he has now become the director of the Void Mask playground "Porco Rosso Medical Clinic", and is also a world-famous medical and first aid master.

However, what is more well-known is the master's undisciplined style of life. At that time, she claimed to "let go of anything as long as it is a man", but in recent years, it has developed to the point that "as long as you are strong or cute, gender is not an issue......

At that time, another participant in the competition for inheritance rights was the illegitimate son Luo Meng, but when he was about to be revealed that he was actually an impostor, he seized a small gap that Sui Xiong did not even notice and fled, and never knew what happened. It wasn't until today that Sui Xiong met him again.

Decades later, Romon is much older. His hair was half gray, and his face was wrinkled. But the handsome appearance is still the same, and the temperament is more mature and reliable. Now he is a teacher for the second son of a nobleman, or a military advisor, and is giving advice to this little guy who wants both people and money.

"Master Stephen, what do you think are your strengths?" asked Romone, who was wearing monocles and looked like a scholar with an elegant temperament.

The one, Stephen, was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who looked immature. I don't know what's going on at home, but he actually let this little guy who lacks social experience at first glance and even has ignorant eyes come out to propose. Looking at his silly and soft appearance, it is a miracle that he was not killed on the road!

"I want to ...... I'm from the Carter family, does that count?" Stephen asked after thinking for a moment, without much confidence.

Luo Meng smiled slightly and shook his head: "The Carter family, as a famous earl of real power in the country of a thousand springs, is of course very influential. However, Master Stephen, you are only the heir in line to the current sixth line of the Carter family. There are three brothers and two uncles above you, and unless they all die of sudden illness, it will not be your turn to inherit the title - if they do die all at once, I am afraid that the entire Carter family will encounter a huge crisis, and it will probably not be your turn to inherit the title - by the way, they will die together with a sudden illness, but it will be your turn. ”

"Woo...... Teacher, don't be so mean, okay......"

"I'm just urging you to recognize the reality as soon as possible. Luo Meng smiled slightly, without any mercy, "Okay, answer incorrectly, find your advantage again!"

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

Luo Meng was stunned for a moment, took a closer look at Stephen's face, and nodded: "That's right, young master, your appearance can at least rank in the top ten among the suitors this time." If you dress up, the top five are also promising. ”

"Am I right?" said the boy.

Romong's face immediately turned gloomy: "Completely wrong! What's the use of a man being good-looking? Are you going to sing opera?"

"It is said that Mr. Crick is a man who is an ardent artist, and he may have liked to sing operas...... "I am actually really good at singing." ”

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

After a long while, he collected his mood and sighed: "Young Master Stephen, if Lord Baron is in good health, maybe you can really win his appreciation with your handsome appearance and outstanding literary and artistic talents, and it is not impossible to win the beauty or something." But be warned, he is in very bad health right 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 wonderful man who can protect his sister and keep Keane's collar!"

"I'm sure I can't do that. Stephen hung his head, his face full of frustration, "I can't do either swordsmanship or bows and arrows......! I'm still a little confident in singing, but I'm not confident at all in fighting. ”

What is his own strength, the teacher knows best, if he wants to protect a girl who has been spied on by countless villains, and keep the Barony of Keane, who has wealth but is not strong enough, relying on his strength, it is really not possible!

"This judgment is quite wise, young master, your mind is actually very smart, but it still needs some time to grow. Romon smiled and encouraged his students, then said, "Actually, you only see the bad side of yourself, but you don't see the good side." ”

"Which side is favorable?" asked Stephen curiously.

"First of all, it's age. Luo Meng smiled and said, "I have investigated, among the unmarried men who came to propose marriage this time, you are the youngest among the men who are mysterious and secretive, and who have a clean net worth and may achieve marriage." ”

"Is age an advantage?" asked Stephen, puzzled.

"Of course, it's an advantage!" Romon said with his trademark confident smile on his face, "Miss Anna is only fourteen years old, and the youngest of the other suitors is already twenty-two. In terms of age, you are the only one who suits her. ”

"Twenty-two and fourteen...... My uncle is forty years old and married fourteen, right? ”

"I've seen forty years old, sixty years old and fourteen years old. "However, it is often a marriage with unequal status, or even just playing with a girl." In aristocratic society, the age difference between marriages with equal status cannot be too large. Twenty-two and fourteen years old, of course, is not an unacceptable gap, but in comparison, fifteen and fourteen years old, isn't it more appropriate?"

Stephen thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "When you say that, I myself feel that I do have a great advantage. ”

"Not only that, but you don't have a strict church status right now, and you can convert at any time. As far as I know, Miss Anna is a believer in His Majesty the Void Kamene, and you can also go and believe in this powerful deity. When Luo Meng said "Void Masquerade", a trace of melancholy flashed in his heart, and he was clearly seen by Sui Xiong in the sky, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.

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

"Yes, that majesty is not very reliable, but he is strong enough!" Romon said with a wry smile, "For us now, it is imperative to complete the marriage so that you can get a reliable foundation and avoid the overt and hidden arrows of the Carter family fighting for inheritance." Everything else, you can give in. ”

Sui Xiong was secretly angry when he heard this: What does it mean that "you can give in to other things"? Brother Xiong thinks that he has a good character, and he has never done any extremely vicious things such as burning, killing, plundering, and plundering all these years, let alone doing such immoral things as smashing the widow's door and digging up the grave of a dead house, so how can he believe that he belongs to the content of "making concessions"? And he also looks aggrieved...... Luo Meng, do you have a special face to be wronged? Are you a decent person? When you pretended to be someone else's son and wanted to usurp other people's property, why did you even do this kind of thing, and you still deserve to be a decent person? Do you want to be shameless!

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

Luo Meng, a bastard, hasn't seen each other for decades, but when he met this time, he really gave him a big gift...... (To be continued.) )
