Being cute was justice, and being beautiful was an advantage. This kind of thing was the same no matter what world it was.
For example, on Earth, there were many rare animals, many of which were as rare as the giant panda. However, those that could enjoy the same treatment as the giant panda were all cute without exception … Hey, arctic wolves, Cuban crocodiles, pygmy rhinoceroses, all of them died with their eyes wide open. Everyone's rarity was about the same, and maybe their own species was even smaller. Why were their social statuses completely different?
Just look at their faces. Who asked them to be ugly and not know how to act cute?
If this topic was changed to marriage, it would be even more obvious. Before Brother Xiong transmigrated, he had known a novelist who was rich and had a stable income. He was also quite famous in society. Whether it was in the illustration world or the animation world, he was considered a famous person. However, this man, who looked like a rich son-in-law, didn't have a girlfriend until he was in his thirties. When he finally found one, he was dumped.
Why was that? It was all because he was ugly. He was tall, big, fat, and strong like a bear. The saddest thing was that he was born with a fierce face. Even when he was smiling, his eyes would always look fierce. His shiny bald head and neat white teeth made him look like someone who wanted to travel to America and set up a few bombs on the way …
Back then, he was in the same guild as Brother Xiong. The girl who he was courting also knew Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong often went to dungeons together to get equipment. This big boss had taken care of his illustration business more than once, so he put in a lot of good words for him and worked hard to help him. However, in the end, the girl said, "I don't really care about his appearance, but what if we get married and have a daughter who looks like him? What should we do?"
What should they do? How about going to Korea for plastic surgery?
Brother Xiong suggested this, and then the girl blocked him.
On Earth, in such a developed and open society, appearance was so important. In this world, in a relatively closed and backward society, appearance was even more important.
Stephen Carter's appearance was really good. He could really make a living with his face, and he could get to the level of a superstar with his appearance alone. In fact, Romon was also at this level, but he was old. Middle-aged men weren't suitable to be idols. To Anna, she didn't know any of the suitors. In comparison, this super handsome guy was the best.
It's just that … Crick thought about it and felt a little worried. He whispered to Ai Miwei in private, "This kid is even prettier than my sister. Will my sister feel pressured when they get married in the future?"
Ai Miwei, on the other hand, didn't really care. In her opinion, the most important things in a marriage were stability and loyalty. Looks and feelings weren't that important.
But … that Young Master Steven was indeed a little too beautiful …
That night, Romon returned to the hotel and handed a projection crystal to Stephen.
"Here, this is Miss Anna's," he said lightly.
Stephen took the crystal casually. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. But when he heard what he said, he was stunned.
"Teacher … What did you do for the whole day?"
"What are you doing? Nothing much. " Romon said as if nothing had happened. "When I went out in the morning, I first went to visit Lord Milomon, the Archbishop of the Church of Void Mask. Then, he introduced me to Lord Crick, and then we talked about cooperation and marriage. Lord Crick said that it was better for you young people to decide this kind of thing, so I showed Miss Anna your projection crystal. And Miss Anna seemed to like you very much, so Lord Crick asked her to record a projection crystal for you. "
"But …"
"Don't worry, I didn't peek. You can go back to your room and watch it quietly. " Romon smiled and touched the student's head. "But, you also have to learn to be more mature. After all, you are also a person who is about to get married."
Stephen's face immediately turned red, and he stammered, unable to speak.
Romon laughed and let Stephen leave with the projection crystal. He returned to his room, took out the doctrine of the Church of Void Mask given by Archbishop Milomon, and carefully studied it.
His strength had reached a bottleneck. If he wanted to go further, he would have to prepare to break through to the legendary realm. In theory, of course, he could become a legendary bard or a legendary thief. That was what he had originally planned. But now he changed his mind. He planned to start in the direction of a priest or priest and try to become a legendary clergyman.
Of course, this was not easy, but it was the easiest for a clergyman to enter the legendary realm. This advantage alone was worth his effort.
Romon had always been a very realistic person. This made him lose a lot, but he also gained a lot.
When he was young, he also wanted to change himself and become a positive, hot-blooded young man. But now he was middle-aged, and it was too late to change. There was nothing wrong with being the way he was.
But … looking at the doctrine overflowing with enthusiasm and righteousness, full of vitality and enthusiasm, and then comparing it with his almost withered heart, he could not help but smile bitterly.
To be a clergyman, one must first be a devout believer. Romon was willing to die to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Void Mask, but to ask him to agree with the overly naive and kind doctrine of His Majesty the Void Mask, he really could not do it.
To be honest, His Majesty the Void Mask was very insightful. For example, he believed that the reason why there were so many disputes in this world, in the final analysis, came from the competition for the means of production. Nations, countries, races … the emergence of these organizations was nothing more than an alliance formed by various ties to compete for the means of production. And even within the same organization, there was also a competition for the means of production … These statements were eye-opening to Romon. Compared with what he had seen and heard in these years, he deeply felt that it was very reasonable. It was as if a layer of gauze covering in front of him had been removed, and he could see the truth of the whole world more clearly.
But as for the solution to the competition, His Majesty the Void Mask's explanation made Romon very dissatisfied. This jellyfish god believed that competition could not solve the problem. Not only could it not increase the means of production, but it would also consume the means of production. Therefore, the more wars there were, the greater the damage to social production. If there were years of war, it would even develop to the point where people had no way to make a living and starved everywhere. In order to avoid this kind of mistake, it was necessary to promote progress. Whether it was the progress of technology or the progress of management, it could increase the efficiency of production or reduce the consumption of the means of production. In this way, either the output would be increased or the consumption would be reduced, which could effectively reduce the competition for the means of production.
This statement was not unreasonable, but Romon felt that it was too idealistic. He felt that the vast majority of people in this world, especially those who had power and influence, were definitely inclined to snatch other people's things and take them as their own.
He did not know how to talk about the general principles, but over the years, all the facts he had seen proved this point.
His Majesty the Void Mask's doctrine was very good, and his ideals were very beautiful, but it was destined to be impossible to realize.
… Of course, the doctrines and ideals of most of the gods in the world could not be realized, and they did not care about one more big jellyfish. But Romon did not agree with this set of ideals, so he could not become a devout believer of His Majesty the Void Mask, and naturally, he could not become a clergyman.
This was an iron-clad law that could not be violated. The core of the power of a clergyman came from the god, and the most critical limit to the extent of their power was the degree of agreement between them and the god.
Not every believer who could deeply agree with the god's ideas could become a high-level clergyman, but a high-level clergyman must be a believer who deeply agreed with the god's ideas.
Romon could not make himself agree with the idea of His Majesty the Void Mask, so he could not become a clergyman at all. At most, he could only be a general believer — understanding the doctrine of the god, respecting it, and acting in accordance with it, even if he did not agree with it.
In fact, he quite agreed with the idea of the God of Conspiracy, but the God of Conspiracy was not only stingy, but also had a very problematic style of doing things. Romon really did not want to entrust his life to a god who was not trustworthy and often did evil things, so he could not sincerely believe in the God of Conspiracy.
(People like me probably won't really believe in anyone …)
Romon thought self-mockingly, put down the doctrine of Void Mask, and turned to think about what to do next.
For a period of time in the future, he would definitely play the role of "Crick Keane." He thought he had the ability to play this role well, at least to ensure that no one would find out anything wrong with it. But could this be considered a good completion of the order of His Majesty the Void Mask?
It should not be.
His Majesty the Void Mask probably wanted to make the Keane Territory stable and prosperous as the development base of the Void Mask Church in the south. If he wanted to complete this task well and get the appreciation of His Majesty, then he had to assist Anna Keane and develop the Keane Territory well.
But … this was not easy!
Thinking of the mediocre performance of the little girl during the day, he had a little headache.
As a minister, the most terrible thing was to meet those lords with mediocre abilities. Lords with excellent abilities were naturally excellent, and those with poor abilities could be tricked, and it was not necessarily difficult to deal with them. Only those with mediocre abilities or slightly better than ordinary people were the most difficult to deal with. Tricking them did not work on them, but it was also impossible to expect them to come up with a good solution by themselves. Since ancient times, many outstanding people had been mentally and physically exhausted by such mediocre lords, and in the end, they even died of exhaustion.
Romon did not get along with Anna Keane, so he was not sure if this little girl was willing to listen to others' advice. He only hoped that the future lord was not a strong character and did not have a strong desire for power. Otherwise, things would be really difficult!
"Alas! How good it would be if Young Master Stephen was the lord! "
In fact, Stephen Carter's talent was not outstanding. It was probably higher than mediocre, but there was still a little gap between him and a talented person. But he had a big advantage — his character was relatively gentle, and he was willing to listen to other people's opinions. If he met an ambitious person, it would be easy for him to be a mere figurehead and steal power. But for a minister who was loyal to him, it was really the best.
In the history of the earth, Liu Chan, the later lord of the Shu Han Dynasty, was such a person, and the story of him and Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister, had been widely spread, so that in the new era, a group of "conscientious young historians" jumped out to find some conspiracy theories in a roundabout way to hype up their own fame.
If Stephen was the lord and Romon was the adviser, maybe it would be a different world version of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.
But … this was impossible.
Romon thought for a moment, shook his head, and smiled.
If things were easy, why would His Majesty Void Mask give it to him?
Even if it was difficult, he had to do it well, so that he could show his ability!
… But before that, there was still one more important thing to do.
He took out the secret information that Lord Crick gave him before they parted. This information covered almost all the people who came to propose, and it was quite detailed.
And what he needed to do was to carefully study this information again and try to catch all these people in one fell swoop!
