Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Baron
The baron's physiognomy can be roughly compared to Hosea, but it is more pampered.
People can't imagine things they haven't seen, and Qi Xuansu also has some references for changing his appearance, and the main reference objects are some Westerners he has seen. Ducky is mainly a reference to the Grand Duke Maginot and the Holy See White, while Hosea is a reference to Diswin and Arthur, with some adjustments, which are slightly rougher and more of an outlaw image.
The latter two have been relatively old for a long time, when Qi Xuansu first entered Tiangang Hall, went to the Western Regions with Zhang Yuelu to carry out a mission, and became acquainted with a Holy Court priest named Arthur Morgan who was ordered to hunt down the vampire Diswin. It's these two people.
Qi Xuansu didn't expect that the human face he pinched out at random would collide with this so-called baron.
"I see, this old boy is trying to use you as a stand-in." Wu Niang swaggered beside the baron, and no one else could see her anyway, "You have to be careful, if this old boy has gold teeth, won't he have to pull out a few more of your teeth, just like him, all of them are inlaid with gold."
Qi Xuansu replied indifferently, "Then pull it out, it's not my body anyway. I'm here at St. Paul's Cathedral."
"You kid!" Wu Niang then remembered that Qi Xuansu's body at this time was hers, so she immediately changed her tone, "If this old boy dares to do the slightest wrongdoing, then the stake will be executed immediately, and he will be directly transformed into a humanoid torch to illuminate the darkness."
Qi Xuansu was noncommittal, and instead began to talk to the baron: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you have to say when you invite me over?"
"It's an honor to see you, Mr. Matthews." The baron tapped his fist lightly against the railing, "I won't go around in circles, I will speak directly. For some unspeakable reason, I need a temporary stand-in, and you're a perfect fit."
Qi Xuansu looked at the baron: "I ......"
The baron continued, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Mr. Matthews. Didn't you come to St. York's Lower Town just for the glittering Golden Krone? And I can just give you a price that you can't refuse, two thousand, how about it?"
Qi Xuansu looked shocked.
In fact, thanks to Qi Niang's blessing, Qi Xuansu has never directly owned so many gold kronors in his life. It wasn't a chance before, but now it's unnecessary.
The baron added, "Of course, you will have to be a guest at my mansion for a while after your errand, and you will not leave until the whole thing is settled. If you are willing to be my stand-in for a long time, then I am happy to do so, and I will offer quite generous conditions."
Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't help but agree on the premise of not wanting to reveal his identity, so he asked, "What do I need to do?"
A smile appeared on the baron's face, and he walked down the stairs from the second floor: "It's simple, you just need to take care of some daily affairs for me, meet different guests, and help me deal with those vain mistresses by the way."
"Mistress?" Qi Xuansu was really a little surprised, he knew that Westerners were more open, and it didn't matter if his wife gave birth to someone else's child, as long as the eldest son was his own, but if he really got in close contact, he still couldn't accept it. He's a conservative by the heart, and he's not interested in women.
Wu Niang sat on the railing on the second floor, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, use an illusion to let those mistresses twist themselves on the bed, and there is no trace of the spring dream."
The baron deliberately added, "You can enjoy them as much as you like, I don't mind."
I mind.
Qi Xuansu thought so in his heart, he was somewhat psychologically clean, if he hadn't met a rare outstanding woman like Zhang Yuelu in the world, then he would probably choose to live his life alone. Even if it is Qi Niang and Xiao Yin, Qi Xuansu is trying to make up for his missing family affection, and it does not contain any other feelings in it. Even Li Qingnu, because of Qi Niang's relationship, Qi Xuansu prefers to be regarded as a sister rather than a woman.
In short, Qi Xuansu is a person who has a serious lack of family affection and does not need much love between men and women.
Qi Xuansu shook his head: "I'm very old......
"It's all a minutiae, as long as the women don't find out you're not me
Well, how to do it, I don't ask." The Baron was very understanding.
Qi Xuansu asked again, "Doesn't Your Excellency the Baron doubt my origin?"
"Actually, I'm surprised that there could be such a coincidence. In the Oriental proverb, someone gives you a pillow as soon as you want to sleep." "But I'm confident in my intelligence skills, and I'm sure you have nothing to do with my other three rivals, and that's enough."
Qi Xuansu took off his hat and put it on his chest: "Willing to serve you."
The baron raised his hand, and the butler immediately handed an envelope with both hands.
The baron took the envelope and handed it to Qi Xuansu: "One hundred denominations of golden tickets, twenty, please order them."
As his nickname suggests, this gang leader is aristocratic, polite, and not rude.
Qi Xuansu took the envelope and glanced at it: "I can see from the thickness alone, one is quite a lot."
"Good." The baron instructed the butler beside him, "Take him to change into proper clothing, correct his accent and manners, and familiarize himself with my information, for we are running out of time."
"Yes." The butler replied and looked at Qi Xuansu, "Your Excellency, please come with me."
Qi Xuansu followed the butler to another room.
He didn't expect that there would be such an episode on his trip to St. York.
In this way, he put on three layers of skin, on the surface he was Baron Ramon, in fact he was the outlaw Hosea Matthews, then Daqi van der Linde, and finally Qi Xuansu, who held the supreme power of the Beichen Hall in the Southern Continent.
Qi Xuansu began to change his clothes, and the butler outside the screen began to explain the specific content of this mission: "According to the plan, you don't need to face too many demigod eyes, and I will also fully cooperate with you to provide you with enough cover."
Demigods are Westerners, which are roughly equivalent to the celestials in the East.
In the Western context, dominated by the Holy See and the Council of Alpha, the celestials are referred to as demigods, meaning demigods and half-humans. The celestials in the leisurely stage are called quasi-demigods, the celestials in the immeasurable stage are called true demigods, the celestials in the creation stage are called legendary demigods, and the pseudo-immortals are called gods, which means people who have the qualifications to become gods.
Naturally, the gods are the corresponding immortals.
The Patriarch of the Steam Gospel is a true God.
In fact, even in the face of the demigods, with Qi Xuansu's current realm cultivation, there is nothing to be afraid of, he is only afraid of that patriarch. Or add to that the cardinal of St. Paul's Cathedral, who may also be a deity.
Both the East and the West have made a division of strength at this level.
The East is distinguished by tribulation, immortals, immortals, immortals, immortals, immortals, immortals, and Taishang Hongmeng.
In the West, they are distinguished by divine power, ordinary gods, primary gods, medium gods, great gods, and the beginning of the plateau.
It is worth mentioning that this stage of immortals is also divided into two levels, which used to be called Jindan Avenue and Yuanying Wonderland, and later the Daomen was modified to ordinary immortals and quasi-one-calamity immortals. Just like the immortals from the first tribulation to the three tribulations, they also have other names: they are King Kong is not bad, five qi Chaoyuan, and three flowers gather at the top.
That's why the immortals will call the Xiao Wuqi Chao Yuan Realm and the Xiao Sanhua Juding Realm - the big ones are behind.
Similarly, ordinary gods are also divided into two levels, one is weak divine power and the other is weak divine power. The weaker divine power is very close to the primary divine power, just like the quasi-one-calamity immortal and the one-calamity immortal are only one step away.
God-man is a demigod, and a demigod has no divine power.
The so-called ignition of the divine fire is actually quite similar to the beheading of the three corpses.
If the cardinal of the Steam Gospel is also a deity, then probably at the level of weak divine power.
The word "weak" may sound unpretentious, but in fact it can destroy cities, subvert kingdoms, and rise above all living beings.
Qi Xuansu is really not an opponent, but with the Buddha's relics, "extravagant corpse poison", and "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans", Qi Xuansu is still a little sure of his escape. If Qi Xuansu's deity also entered the pseudo-immortal stage, there would be so many
Foreign object assistance, assuming that the other party does not have the corresponding foreign object assistance, can still live a few tricks, and even not fall behind.
The butler continued, "Your Excellency, please note that Mr. Mika Bell, one of the top leaders of the gang, has been an old friend of His Excellency the Baron for many years, and needs to be careful. Then there are several of the Baron's mistresses, among whom Lady Susan Grameshaw is not only the Baron's mistress, but also the Baron's helper, who often helps the Baron in all sorts of matters, and is very familiar with the Baron."
"In addition, I have prepared detailed information about the baron, including the characteristics of his accent, his choice of words, his subtle movements, as well as his attitude and opinions on various matters, daily details, etc., which I can help you to familiarize yourself with one by one."
"By the way, I also want to help you make some retouching and adjustments in your appearance, so that you can be more similar to the baron, plus we will announce to the public that the baron has been in poor health in recent days, one is to refuse unnecessary visitors, and the other is to reasonably explain some subtle anomalies and differences, so as to achieve the purpose of fake and real."
Qi Xuansu had already changed his clothes, the standard aristocratic dress, without the fire gun, was incompatible with the dungeon here.
Wu Niang appeared beside the housekeeper and looked at Qi Xuansu: "In the blink of an eye, you have changed your identity again. You have to be careful, if you're not going to burn this place to ashes, then we should think about how to get out of it now, if you get too deep and expose your identity, it's not fun."
Qi Xuansu agreed: "It's really time to think about this issue, at least it can't involve Strawney's side, he is a chess piece, but Beichen Hall spent a lot of money to cultivate, if it is destroyed in my hands, I can't care about it."
"I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep in the middle of writing."
