Report

In the empty world surrounded by white halos, Sui Xiong used some of the chaos that had naturally formed in the past few years to strengthen the protective wall, while thinking carefully.

The fifth incarnation used to "experience life" died. After his death, all his short life experiences were transmitted back to Sui Xiong, becoming important materials for him to understand and experience the people and society of this world.

In this sense, the death of every "traveler Sui Xiong" was worth it.

However, he was very unhappy.

The death of the fifth traveler made him very unhappy.

Not only the fifth, but also the previous four and three, the way they died also made him very unhappy.

A hardworking worker who obviously had a lot of work every day, but the money he earned was not even enough to live a stable life. In the end, he died of poverty and illness.

A warm-hearted chef who secretly hunted a few deer in order to prevent starving victims from starving. In the end, not only did he lose his life, but the victims were also killed.

A hot-blooded adventurer who killed an evil bastard in order to avenge the innocent civilians. In the end, even the aristocrats who admired and sympathized with him could only sentence him to death.

Sui Xiong was unhappy. Sui Xiong was very unhappy!

"There is really something wrong with the laws of this world!" he muttered to himself. "I really should talk to the God of Law and Justice!"

So he really went and sent an incarnation to the Holy Kingdom of the God of Law and Justice, the "Temple of Balance", to find the god who controlled the laws of the whole world and maintained the justice of law enforcement to discuss this issue.

"I have already found out what you said." The God of Law and Justice was a serious old man. He wore a loose black robe, and there was no softness on his face. Instead, he looked a little tired. "The laws of this world are indeed very unreasonable."

He paused, thought for a moment, and said, "But, such laws are suitable for this world."

Sui Xiong frowned and asked, "Why do you say so? Why is a law that supports the evil acts of the aristocrats to oppress the civilians suitable for this world? "

"This world is driven by those who have talent and strength. Those who lack talent and strength are comparatively less important to the world, "said the God of Law and Justice." Men are by nature unequal to one another. A good law should maintain the rule and suppress those who are ruled. "

"Your point of view is too strange! How could there be inequality between people? Everyone is born by their parents. We all have to experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. We all have to eat, drink, and poop. We all have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Why can't we be equal? "

"This is determined by their respective values. Those with high values will definitely have a higher status than those with low values."

"Having status doesn't mean you can oppress others as you please!"

"As a herdsman, he certainly has the right to decide what to do with his cattle and sheep," the God of Law and Justice said, shaking his head. "There are many things that I don't like. But this kind of thing is in accordance with the law, in accordance with the rules of the world, and I can do nothing about it. "

"Herdsmen, cows, and sheep? Is this how you view the relationship between nobles and civilians? "Sui Xiong asked angrily.

"It doesn't matter what I think. That's the law of this world, and that's what the people of this world believe. " The God of Law and Justice said calmly, "As a law enforcer, I cannot twist the law with my own opinions, or it would be unfair."

Sui Xiong looked at him coldly for a long time before he turned around and left.

"I will change the law! When that time comes, don't stand in my way! "

Watching the figure of the big green jellyfish disappear in front of him, the God of Law and Justice was silent for a long time, and then he sighed wearily.

He remembered the scene a long time ago, when the big man in ragged clothes came to quarrel with him with an axe.

"No wonder you can become friends. Although you are of different races, you are essentially the same people!"

He sighed secretly, but there was a faint expectation in his eyes.

If the power of one strong man was not enough to change the world, then what about another one? Maybe it would be enough?

And … since there was a second one, maybe there would be a third, a fourth … Maybe he could really wait until the day when the law and rules that made him unhappy were changed.

Of course, maybe before that, because of his priesthood, he would have to stand in the camp that was hostile to those strong men. At that time, he would choose to fall under the axe or the tentacles, and use his own death to send an elegy to the rules that had made him deeply unhappy for a long time.

Sui Xiong took back the doppelganger used for communication and carefully thought about what to do.

He had done a good job of understanding the world. The first five doppelgangers, especially the last three, had contacted the world from the three most common social classes: the bottom laborers, the skilled workers, and the adventurers. They had obtained a lot of valuable information.

But … thinking carefully, there was still some information missing, some very important information …

Nobles!

Yes, he had not yet understood the world from the perspective of the nobles, which might make his understanding of the world too one-sided.

As the saying goes, "If you listen to both sides, you will be enlightened, and if you believe in one side, you will be ignorant." For a long time, he had contacted and understood the world from the perspective of the common people. Perhaps from the perspective of the nobles, he could get a completely different understanding.

As for the big puzzle of the world, he had actually only completed half of it.

After thinking this through, he set off to find a noble identity that he could use.

Nobles were different from common people. There was no way to directly "cross over physically," so he could only "cross over by possession." For this, he needed to find a suitable noble, a noble who would not be too eye-catching even if he was possessed and crossed over.

He soon found a suitable target.

It was a baron located in the Duchy of Thunder, and his name was Crick Keane.

The Keane Family was an aristocratic family with a history that was neither too old nor very new. Crick's grandfather's grandfather was a mage who came to the Duchy of Thunder from the Mifata Federation. After some adventures and development, he finally became an aristocrat. The mage's magic level was not high, and he died about 70 years old. He did not use the power of magic until he was in his forties to have a son who inherited his family business.

Crick's great-grandfather did not inherit his father's magic talent, but chose to engage in business activities. His ability was mediocre, and he was neither able to make the family prosperous, nor did he make the territory decline. He was a lord for a lifetime and left behind two sons.

Crick's grandfather was the second of the two sons. Before his brother had time to have an heir, he died in the hands of an evil red dragon — coincidentally, the red dragon was the evil dragon "Brutal Burner" Uherskreider, who had been killed by Sui Xiong.

Crick's grandfather had been in poor health because he was burned by dragon fire when he was a teenager, and he died at the age of 40. He left behind two sons and a daughter, which might be the greatest contribution to the family.

Crick's father was the eldest son, and he had been steadily running the family business. His uncle was keen on studying magic, and he went to the Mifata Federation when he was a teenager. As a result, because of a problem in the magic research, he died there, and he did not even leave behind a son and a daughter.

His aunt was married to another noble, and her life was stable. But they did not inherit the title and territory, and they were only collateral relatives of the family. Later, their child was only a businessman with an aristocratic identity.

Crick had two older brothers and a younger sister. Originally, it was not his turn to inherit the title of nobility. However, a few years ago, because of the friction between the Church of the God of Aristocracy and the Church of the Master of Arcana, both of his brothers died an unnatural death. As a result, the title of nobility fell to him.

As a young man who did not believe in either the God of Aristocracy or the Master of Mystery, Crick liked to read and draw, which gave him a reputation as a scholar, but no one was optimistic about his ability to govern.

It turned out that he really had no ability to govern. After being a lord for two years, not only did he not manage the territory well, but he also became tired and ill.

Then, he died.

Sui Xiong was in the bedroom, staring at the young man who had just died.

There was an abnormal gray color on his face, which was the effect of some kind of poison.

Crick's soul floated in the air blankly, and he did not understand what was going on.

"You're dead," Sui Xiong said to him very frankly. "You should have been poisoned to death."

Crick came to his senses. He looked at his body in a daze, and then turned to look at Sui Xiong. After a while, he finally understood, and his eyes showed resentment and worry.

"You are His Majesty Void Mask, right?" He said. "I have nothing now, except my own soul … Although it is very shameless, I want to ask you to help me. My family is in a great crisis, and my relatives must be in danger …"

Sui Xiong nodded. "That's why I came."

Then, he put forward his own plan.

Crick thought for a long time and agreed to this plan.

To be honest, he felt that this plan was not reliable. But now he had no way out, and he had no other hope except to pray that His Majesty Void Mask's plan could succeed!

Fortunately, His Majesty Void Mask had always been omnipotent, and he was famous for being a kind god. With his attention, even if this plan went wrong, even if the territory and noble identity of the Keane family could not be preserved, at least his relatives should be safe.

For him, who was already dead, this was his only wish.

"Then … I will leave everything to you!" The talented young lord who had just died bowed deeply to the emerald jellyfish, praying for its protection for his family.

Then, his soul slowly went away, along the path of faith, to the kingdom of the God of Culture and Art.

As a believer of the God of Culture and Art, as a lord who used his identity and power to help the church of the God of Culture and Art more than once. This was the benefit he deserved.

Watching Crick's soul pass away, Sui Xiong stood in front of his body, which had begun to cool, and smiled.

"Well, let's start!"
