A joyful atmosphere filled the small manor, and everyone was in a jubilant mood.
Because the lord, who had been suffering from no descendants, finally welcomed his son today. The inheritance crisis that had been troubling this territory was finally resolved.
This was a joyous occasion! After all, nobles without inheritance rights would have their territories taken back after they died. That not only meant that his family would be severed, but also meant that his subordinates would lose their protection, and even his subjects would inevitably be unlucky. Most of the new nobles had spent a lot of money and used a lot of tricks to get their territories. Each one of them was greedy and ruthless. As soon as they came, they wanted to establish their power, and the target of this power was naturally the subjects.
Thinking of that situation, people could not help but shudder.
In contrast, although this lord was a little unreliable, at least he was not a bad person, and he had some friendship with everyone. It was a good choice to let his family continue to rule.
When Sui Xiong quietly came to this manor, he saw a scene of laughter.
With his divine power, the minds of mortals were simply transparent in his eyes, and he knew what was going on at a glance.
After watching for a while, he nodded secretly, and his heart was also a little happy.
"This lord is not bad. I didn't save the wrong person."
After a while, he saw the lord, who was leading a large group of people to worship the newly built Void Mask statue.
The baron's face was now flushed, and he was smiling like the Maitreya Buddha. He looked like a different person from the sad face he had before. From his body, there was a strong and somewhat dazzling light of faith rising, and he had become a fanatic of Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong shook his head, and after the celebration was over, he secretly showed his figure in front of him.
"It's good that you have a son. But why bother with such a big ceremony! " He said. "I see that your manor is not big, and it doesn't look like it has much money. What's the point of putting on a show?"
The baron laughed and did not argue, but thanked him again and again.
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Sui Xiong just said a few words casually, and in fact, he did not take it seriously. After chatting for a while, he could not help but ask how this guy had provoked the family goddess.
It was not common for mortals to provoke gods. Generally speaking, only a master at the level of Leon would be able to make the gods angry and punish him.
However, when he asked, he could not help but laugh. The reason why this guy had angered the Family Goddess was that he had once acted as a matchmaker, bringing a pair of young people together. The woman of the young couple happened to be a Saintess of the Church of the Family Goddess.
Most churches had a "Son of God" system. The so-called Son of God was a talent that was specially cultivated to allow the gods to possess and descend when necessary. If such a person was a woman, she would be called a saintess.
Whether it was the Saint or the Saintess, they usually had very strict requirements. One of the most important requirements of the Family Goddess for the Saintess was abstinence.
"You're really audacious! You actually helped someone else to seduce the Saintess of the Church … To think that you didn't get beaten to death, you can be considered to be extremely lucky! "
After learning what had happened, Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh and curse a few times.
"I'm innocent, Your Majesty! I didn't know at that time! " The baron cried out repeatedly. "It wasn't until after they were sent away on a ship that I opened the gifts they left for me that I knew I had caused a disaster …"
After learning the truth, this guy was so scared that he did not even dare to return to the hotel. He did not even dare to take his luggage and ran away. Fortunately, he ran fast and the knights of the Church of the Family Goddess could not catch up with him, so he escaped.
However, although he could escape the pursuit of mortals, he could not escape the punishment of the gods. The Family Goddess put a curse on him, punishing him to have no descendants.
This was already something that happened 15 or 16 years ago. At that time, he was only 17 or 18 years old, but now he was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
After listening to him, 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 remove the curse, the Family Goddess's anger has not yet subsided. You have to let her cool down. "
"… If I had a way, would I have been in such a miserable state until now?"
Sui Xiong thought about it and could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
As the saying went, one could only be a thief for a thousand days, but not a thousand days to guard against a thief. Even if Sui Xiong could protect him for a while, how could he protect him forever?
In this world, if one wanted to have the power to protect himself under the anger of the gods, he had to at least become a Legendary Master like Leon. And this unlucky guy was not even as good as the lowest level of an entry-level adventurer. He was purely a rookie.
After thinking about it, he finally tried to send a message to the Family Goddess, asking how he could let the Goddess calm down and let go of this mortal who had been punished for more than ten years.
The Family Goddess's answer came quickly. She said that as long as this noble gave her a child and became the Son of God of her church, this matter would be over.
The baron suddenly looked bitter. He had finally had a son, and he had to keep him to inherit the family business. How could he go to the Church of the Family Goddess to be the Son of God!
However, Sui Xiong's eyes turned and he had an idea. "What are you afraid of? The Family Goddess has no time limit! "
"Ah?"
"You are only in your thirties. What's so difficult about giving birth to a few children now?"
Only then did the Baron realize what was going on and felt relieved.
In the bright temple, the graceful and luxurious Family Goddess sighed and shook her head.
"How is it?" asked a tall and majestic figure next to her.
"Although he is reasonable, he is cunning," said the Family Goddess. "It will not be easy to subdue him!"
"It should not be easy. How can a strong person who can cultivate the God of Knowledge be so easily subdued?" The majestic figure said with a smile. "But no matter how difficult it is, we have to try. Perhaps he is not very valuable, but his follower god is of great significance. If we can take him into our Human God System, it will be of great help to our development and strength! "
"It is really amazing. Since ancient times, many people have been moving forward on the road of wisdom and culture, but it is only now that someone has taken the key step and realized the separation of 'wisdom.' Although this is something that will happen sooner or later, it is happening now, and it is being realized by the hands of his believers. It is really a strange feeling. " The glowing figure touched his slightly chubby chin, thinking and talking to himself. "Could it be … that it is another turbulent era, and this big jellyfish is the key person who carries the destiny?"
"Haha … it can't be! How can the destiny of the world be carried by a jellyfish! "He laughed as if he found it very funny.
The Family Goddess hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty … if you accept the God of Knowledge, it means that you will be an enemy of the Master of Mystery …"
"So be it. What does it matter?" The tall figure laughed. "Others are afraid of him, but I am not! My Buddha's Hammer has been lonely for so many years. It is good to have a good opponent to train it. "
Sui Xiong certainly could not know what was going on in other people's God Kingdoms. He solved the problem of the baron and temporarily stayed in his territory to observe the establishment of his temple.
This baron's surname was Henry. At Sui Xiong's suggestion, he named his eldest son "Ou."
"Does this name have any special meaning?" Baron Henry asked.
"Of course it has meaning. It means that he will become a man of culture," Sui Xiong said eloquently and seemed to be very serious.
Baron Henry was very satisfied with this answer. He was also very satisfied with His Majesty the Void Mask's plan for his son's future.
As an aristocrat, being a man of culture far away from fighting was a very dignified and stylish way of life. Compared to those who practiced martial arts and went out to be adventurers, only to die somewhere, or those who learned magic and then squandered their family's wealth in the research of magic, becoming a man of culture, whether it was a poet, a scholar, a painter, or a musician, was very good.
Of course, he did not know that Sui Xiong was thinking, "This name is very suitable for being a comedian. Doing crosstalk will definitely be very promising."
Baron Henry was not rich, and the scale of the temple was not large. Even so, it was not something that Baron Henry could afford. The reason why it could be built so smoothly was mainly because he had the support of the Church of the Void Mask.
Relying on the transmission array, which was built first, enough wealth and manpower were successfully sent to complete this simple temple.
It did not use tall arches and stone pillars like ordinary temples, nor did it have towering statues and ornate reliefs. It was just a house made of bricks and wood. It was taller than ordinary houses and had a specially decorated door. There were many paintings hanging in the house, but that was all.
By the way, several of those paintings were signed by the author "Helo" — in fact, it was the pen name that Sui Xiong had given himself.
A few days before the first snow fell that year, the temple was finally completed and the first formal sacrifice was held.
And the person who presided over the whole sacrificial ceremony was the werewolf scout who had turned to the Church of the Void Mask because of his love of food, Miramon.
This food lover who had turned from an orc to a half-orc had learned cooking in the Void Mask amusement park for a long time and finally became a glorious priest.
Why would learning cooking turn one into a priest? This kind of trivial matter wasn't worth looking into …
All in all, Miramon, who had turned into a priest, did a very good job. He was very qualified and competent. Especially when he was not performing sacrifices, he often held banquets with his believers. Although most of the dishes were home-cooked, his superb craftsmanship and keen sense of taste still conquered everyone's stomach and made a great contribution to the spread of the faith of the Church of the Void Mask.
Well, very good, very good.
