Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 86:

Sui Xiong knew about Creek.

According to his skill, the problem Crick encountered was a bit tricky, but it wasn't impossible to solve it. However, after careful consideration, he gave up the idea of ​​treating Crick.

As his incarnation, Crick undertakes the task of experiencing life and understanding the world from the perspective of a noble lord. In the process of completing this task, of course, there will be various ups and downs, joys, sorrows and joys. The final death is also inevitable.

In Crick’s life, Sui Xiong can only be a bystander. If he intervenes too much, it will definitely affect Crick's attitude and thoughts-not to mention, just because of the cooperation with the Void Mask Church, Crick's thinking must have changed a lot. Sui Xiong didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but he didn't want to see further changes.

This is cruel, but the results of the "investigation" are used to determine a deity and a church's great governance, and Sui Xiong can only apologize for the "traverser" who knows nothing.

There is a famous saying that I don’t know who said: The advancement of medicine often depends on countless sacrifices. Behind other progress, it is probably the same. Sui Xiong is unwilling to see too many sacrifices, so all he can do is to sacrifice himself and let the "traverser Sui Xiong" observe and experience the world from all angles of society, so as to gain perfection of the world. With a comprehensive understanding, let yourself find the correct way to promote world progress.

He is very sorry for Crick, but since he wants to understand the world and promotes its progress, he should also be the one who should bear the burden and pay.

Every "traverser" who died was actually Sui Xiong himself, himself under certain conditions. It's nothing more than at the moment of "traversing", following different possibilities, producing different processes and getting different results.

This is their own choice, following their own principles and conscience. In other words, suppose that after Sui Xiong on the earth passed through, he did not possess a giant jellyfish on the sea, but became an ordinary mortal in this world, and the ending would be like that.

So... there is nothing to complain about...

Sui Xiong, who had just woke up recently, watched from a distance and returned to the wheelchair again, pretending to be a frail Crick, and sighed slightly.

He could tell that Crick was actually dying.

It’s just that this guy plans to play a big one before dying, to clear some obstacles as much as possible for his relatives, friends, and territory, so that he can die with peace of mind.

All performances are just for this goal.

"Sure enough, it's me!" Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile. "This kind of cunning style is probably about the same as me."

He thought about it, and decided to help a little in the dark.

So soon, a rumor spread in the Thunder Principality.

Crick Keene, the former lord of the "Thunder Pearl" Baron Keene, was seriously ill and could not even stand up. He often fainted and remained awake. Seeing that time is running out, he may be sick at any time. Send to death.

The news spread, and many caring people thought about it.

Although Crick had been married for several years, it was probably because he was injured on the battlefield of "the day when the sun went out" that year and never gave birth to any children. The only heir to Keene currently is his sister, the current Baron Keene, Anna Keene.

Miss Anna is fourteen years old, and she can only be regarded as beautiful in terms of appearance, not beautiful. But she has the most prosperous and wealthy baronial in the entire Thunder Principality as a dowry, and more than one big businessman has evaluated it. Although the Keene collar is only a baronial, but the speed of wealth accumulation is no less than any viscountry!

With such a dowry, even a sow can be transformed into a beauty, even if it discriminates against a pig, I can ignore such a small flaw in the face of wealth, not to mention that Miss Anna is at least a facial feature. To be correct, compared to some noble ladies who made people wonder if her old lady had passed through with ogres or goblins, she was simply stunning. There are a lot of noble ladies like that to marry for dowry, not to mention Anna!

Therefore, many young talents have hurriedly set off, hoping to impress Miss Anna's heart and get both personal and financial benefits.

Of course, if the two are really incompatible, as long as the money is not impossible...

"Oh? Do they think that?" After listening to Lena's report, Crick didn't mean to be angry, but smiled slightly, appearing very calm.

Rena nodded: "These messages are what I said by reading lips and seeing them drinking and chatting with my own eyes."

Crick chuckled twice, shook his head, and said with some regret: "I had hoped that some of these people were truly outstanding. If there were really talented and moral young people, like Anna’s temper. If you can get along again, I don’t mind giving this may be the most expensive dowry of our time."

"What a pity!"

He sighed deeply, with a look of hatred for iron and steel.

"Why don't I go to find out, maybe there is something good..." Rena said tentatively.

Crick nodded: "Then I will trouble you to have more snacks on this matter. I really have limited energy now, and I can't manage everything."

Rena nodded, hesitated, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, how is your body...what?"

Crick smiled: "What else? It's true that I'm very sick, but it's still early to say that I'm dying."

"So...the rumors...what's going on?" Lena frowned and was a little worried. "I noticed that these rumors appeared almost at the same time, and there might be powerful people behind them. That's it!"

Crick’s eyes lit up suddenly, and even his voice became heavy: "Did you find any clues?"

He knew that since Lena mentioned this matter, she would definitely not be aimless. She must have found some information before she would report it to herself.

Rena sighed, and said, "I followed it up carefully and found that this rumor was from some people with intermediate or lower status. But if you look up, you can’t find it. I even He also secretly caught a person who had spread the rumors and used some bad methods to force him to interrogate him, but he himself was at a loss, asking questions, and finally came to the conclusion that'he was drinking and thinking, just thinking It's..."

Crick sneered twice: "I figured it out while drinking and thinking? It's not surprising that one or two people are like this. But if a lot of people do this together...what do you think might be the means?"

"I feel like it is the effect of'memory weaving'." Reina said with some worry, "but...'memory weaving' is an esoteric spell that many high-level wizards don't know, and it can be used on a large scale. , Could it be said that behind it is a strong man who has stepped into the realm of legend for many years, or is it a great force that can organize a group of high-level mages?"

The more she talked about it, the more worried she got, her brows wrinkled and tightened, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Although her strength is good, Lena is not the kind of hero who has experienced many battles and killed from the dead. Once she encounters a stressful situation, she feels a little overwhelmed.

Since the battle of "The Day the Sun Is Extinguished", senior and old adventurers have either died in battle or retired one after another. Now the number and average level of adventurers on the entire main plane has dropped drastically. For example, most of the new generations like Rena are somewhat inexperienced-not lacking the experience of taking risks, but lacking the experience of dealing with difficulties.

This is also easy to understand. Those who are really experienced and courageous, mostly rushed to participate in that battle. As a result, they either died in battle or retreated from the arena in frustration, and even the "reliable Nicholas" seniors who thought he would die forever had retired. Now the rest, such as the Reina and his like, were placed in the pre-war era, and everyone would say "I'm still waiting for the fire"...

For example, it can be seen in this situation. If it was Raffel who got the news, he would only smile coldly and say a few words, "It's a bit troublesome to kill a lot of people." Such things would never be as nervous as Reina.

(After all, still young!)

Looking at Lena's nervousness, Crick sighed inwardly.

Maybe Rena will be able to grow up in a few years, but I'm afraid I won't see that day. I hope she can become a reliable helper for her younger sister by then, and help her cope with those bright guns and secret arrows...

"Those rumors are good and harmless to me." He said confidently, "I was going to create the illusion that I was about to die, and I did a lot of performances for this. Although I don't know how to spread it behind the scenes. What is the sacred rumor, but since he is so powerful that you can't find more clues, then forget it."

"How can this be forgotten?"

Crick sighed softly and asked: "Lenna, if the world is going to perish today, can you stop it?"

Rena was taken aback~IndoMTL.com~ shook her head.

"Yes, when things are too much beyond our abilities, it makes no sense to worry too much." Crick smiled and said, "Whether it’s mobilizing a group of high-level wizards who understand'memory weaving', or yourself Can cast this spell many times in a short period of time, which is far beyond our ability to deal with. If such a big man really wants to deal with us, might we have a way?"

Rena thought for a while, and shook her head in frustration.

"Think about it from another angle. If you are such a big man, would it take such a great effort to deal with a baron in a small area?"

"Of course you don't need it, just kill it." Lena replied immediately, and then suddenly realized.

"Haha, it's that simple." Crick laughed loudly, "So, don't worry about it anymore. People didn't come to the door directly, and the target was probably not us."

After Lena left with peace of mind, he put away his smile, but his eyes showed a little cunning.

"Maybe...I can borrow their power..." (To be continued.)
