That night, after Romon fell asleep, he had a dream.
In the dream, he returned to his youth, and from a "fat sheep" he met in a casino, he learned that the fat sheep was the illegitimate son of a viscount. Now his father was seriously ill, and he was rushing back to fight for the inheritance. So he killed the fat sheep, and spent almost all his money to find a senior mage to hold a bloodline inheritance ceremony, so that he could inherit the blood of the fat sheep's family. Then, with the information that could prove his identity, he appeared "travel-worn" in the viscount's territory after the viscount's death.
Everything went well, and the other heir was so low that it was impossible for him to compete with him. He also made various promises to the nobles in the surrounding territories, and soon the situation was stabilized.
Finally, he successfully inherited the title, became the new Viscount of Geerteng, and sat on the throne of the lord.
After the enthronement ceremony, he sat on the throne in the hall, and looked around at the hall, which was not magnificent, but at least big enough, and could not help laughing.
After laughing, he lowered his head and sighed deeply.
"How nice! Unfortunately, it was just a dream … "
"What? How did you find out it was a dream? "Sui Xiong showed up in the shape of a jellyfish, and appeared in the air in front of him.
Romon looked up at him, a little scared, but not too surprised.
"I don't know, but … I have had such a dream many times in the past decades."
Sui Xiong understood the reason, and could not help but laugh. He asked, "I can't believe that you still care about what happened decades ago … Do you still want to be the lord?"
Romon was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I have long given up."
"Then why do you still have this dream?" Sui Xiong asked curiously, "If you didn't have such an idea, even if it was me, I would not be able to make you have such a dream, unless I cast a special spell."
Romon smiled bitterly, "Actually, I am regretting."
"Regretting? Regretting what? "
"I regret that I didn't seize the opportunity to ride on her back then!" Romon sighed and shook his head, saying, "If I had kowtowed to Miss Olian and shouted 'You are the Lord of the Geerteng Territory recognized by the Gods' or something like that … maybe I would have clung to her. In the future, as long as I work well for her, who knows, maybe I'll be a big shot now. Maybe I'll even be in the top ranks of the Church of the Void Mask … "
Sui Xiong thought about it carefully and nodded slightly. "This is indeed possible …"
Romon sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, "It's all because of a momentary lapse in judgment. Such a good opportunity was presented to me. It was the biggest opportunity of my life, but I missed it!"
"But it's also very dangerous." Seeing him so depressed, Sui Xiong couldn't help but comfort him. "You were pretending to be the illegitimate son of Viscount Geerteng. Once you were exposed, you would be dead."
Romon, however, didn't seem to care at all. He casually said, "Opportunities always go hand in hand with danger. The greater the opportunity, the greater the danger. I've taken a lot of risks over the years, but have I managed to grasp any good opportunities in the end? No. As a result, until now, I'm just a tutor to the sixth heir of an earl's family. I haven't even achieved the status of a quasi-knight. "
He spread out his hands and asked, "Do you think it's better for me to take that kind of risk?"
"What you said makes sense. I'm speechless …"
Romon smiled and asked, "This … I don't know who you are, but you changed into the appearance of His Majesty the Void Mask and appeared in my dream. Don't tell me you're just here to chat with me?"
Sui Xiong also smiled. "I'm the Void Mask. Why do I need to change into his appearance?"
"How can a god be so unstylish? You must be kidding me."
"… I'm just so unstylish. Please don't laugh at me."
Romon was stunned and carefully looked at Sui Xiong. After a while, he asked, "So … Do you know who supported Miss Olian from behind?"
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and said, "It was me. But I think what I did was right. She's more suitable to be a lord than you. "
Romon immediately jumped down from the throne, knelt in front of Sui Xiong without saying anything, and hugged a few of Sui Xiong's dangling tentacles.
"Hey! What are you doing? "
"Hugging someone's thigh!" Romon said resolutely. "I've already missed a chance. If I miss another one, my life will be over!"
"Don't say such a shameless thing like hugging someone's thigh so righteously! And these are tentacles, not thighs! "Sui Xiong shouted." Let go! Let go! "
Romon didn't relax at all. He hugged Sui Xiong's tentacles tightly and shouted, "Your Majesty the Void Mask, please take me in! I'm willing to be your slave and do anything for you! As long as you take me in! "
"Is it necessary? Is it necessary? Anyway, you're a respectable person. Is it necessary to be so shameless? "
"Of course! If there's a chance to hug the thigh of a true god, at least 99% of the people in the world will do the same as me. It's just that they're not as resolute and decisive as I am! "
"Damn, you still look so righteous …" Sui Xiong felt really defeated by this guy. He waved his tentacles hard, trying to get rid of him.
But in the world of dreams, willpower determined power. Romon's willpower at this moment was so resolute that unless Sui Xiong used his divine power to defeat him, he really couldn't get rid of him.
Seeing him like this, Sui Xiong was really embarrassed to hit him. He tried to get rid of him several times in a row, but found that he couldn't get rid of him. He sighed and said, "What's the use of hugging my tentacles like this? Sooner or later, you'll wake up from the dream. "
"So, Your Majesty, please accept my loyalty! I don't want any other benefits. I just want to work for you and finally get the treatment of retiring in your Holy Kingdom! "
Sui Xiong was stunned and vaguely guessed something. He asked, "You … Don't tell me that until now you still don't believe in any god, so you have no place to go after death?"
Romon's face suddenly became bitter. "I have faith, but with my contribution and piety, I definitely can't go to the Holy Kingdom after death. Most likely, I'll go to hell!"
"So, in order to not go to hell, you come to hug my thigh?" Sui Xiong sighed. "You're a bit too utilitarian!"
Romon cried out loudly. "I'm very sincere! Your Majesty, you can test me at will! "
Sui Xiong shook his head. "I believe in your sincerity, but things like faith shouldn't be treated as a deal!"
"Why do you think this is a deal? It's nothing more than me working for you. After I sell my life, you arrange a place for me to retire. It's reasonable. "
"It does sound very reasonable …"
"Yes! I don't ask for much! " Romon saw hope and said loudly, "I know that you have a lot of talented people under you, and you don't need me. But a person who can sacrifice himself for your cause at any time, and is smart, is still valuable! My strength is also not bad. At present, in this city of Keane, there are only a few mortals who can beat me! "
So Sui Xiong really hesitated.
Romon's words were very reasonable. He didn't ask for much, and this deal was a big profit for Sui Xiong. As for the problem of his character, he was actually not old. Although he had made many mistakes in the past, there was always a chance to do good deeds to atone for his sins. Sui Xiong shouldn't kill him now …
In the final analysis, Sui Xiong was tempted.
Talents were rare!
Especially people like Romon, who were capable, intelligent, brave, and had no bottom line in doing things. They were also loyal because they had nowhere to go. It was even rarer!
He hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
The next morning, Milomon brought Romon to visit Kerrick.
"This is Mr. Romon, a secret believer of my Lord." He introduced, "He is stronger than me, and he is good at scheming. I believe he will be able to help you, Your Majesty. "
Crick, who was sitting in a wheelchair and holding a feather fan like Zhuge Liang, was stunned for a moment and looked at Romon.
Romon smiled confidently, and his eyes were shining.
"I will do my best to help you stabilize the territory of Keane!" He said with a smile. "Those guys with bad intentions, don't even think about leaving alive!"
Crick was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
