It was really not easy to find a talent like Olian.
Sui Xiong and Ray knew nothing about the Geerteng Family and Geerteng City, so they did not know where to find the right person. If they wandered around like finding a needle in a haystack, it would be even more difficult to find a future movie queen than a talent scout on the earth, waiting at the gate of a high school to observe the female students after school.
Ray certainly understood this, so when Sui Xiong said that he wanted to find a suitable heir to the viscount, he doubtfully asked, "You said that you want to find the right person, but where should we find him?"
As an adventurer and a robber for many years, he really did not think it was easy to find someone.
It would be fine if there was a fixed target, but now he had to find someone without a specific target, so he had no clue at all.
Did he have to go to the tavern in this city, buy the most expensive wine, and then ask the bartender for information?
This way, he could probably find the best fighter, the richest person, or the most beautiful person in the city, but he did not think that the bartender would know who was the most suitable person to be the viscount in this city.
Even if there was an answer, it would most likely be Romon or Steele …
"I can't give up before I start! Let me think of a way. "Sui Xiong also realized that his plan was a bit unreliable. But since he had said it, he had to try his best to realize it, so he had to rack his brains and search for a useful way from the information given by the God of Redemption.
In this way, he really found a way.
It was an outrageously advanced magic called "Future Observation."
This was not a common magic, but a "legendary magic" that was beyond the common. Its principle was a bit complicated, and so was its effect — by presetting conditions, then simulating what would happen under these conditions, and then observing.
The key of this magic was the difference in the life status between the observer and the object being observed. The bigger the difference in status, the lower the consumption of observation; the smaller the difference in status, the higher the consumption of observation. If one wanted to spy on the existence of a higher status than oneself, it would be better to just go to bed and not daydream.
Today, Sui Xiong wanted to find a mortal, and he himself was a god, so the consumption would not be too much … right …
They left the Geerteng City first and found a spacious and remote place. Then Sui Xiong cast a spell to hide the surrounding scene to avoid being seen by others. Only then did he start chanting the complicated incantation, turning the vast magic power into invisible clues that connected to the infinite time.
In front of them, the air trembled, constantly swaying and twisting, as if something was being bred within it. There was an even more terrifying aura that slowly rose, making even the extremely daring Ray feel anxious and fearful.
After a while, Sui Xiong finished reciting the long incantation. He used his own divine power as a catalyst to activate the spell.
With a crisp sound, it was as if an invisible piece of glass had shattered in front of them. The air shook and swayed, and a blurry image appeared.
It was the Geerteng City, but it was different from the present one. The Geerteng City in the picture was very prosperous. People were coming and going on the streets, and it seemed that the people were in good spirits. It could be seen that the lord was really good at governing the country.
In the center of the picture was the Viscount's mansion. From their point of view, it seemed to become a pair of invisible eyes floating in the air, watching the Viscount's mansion.
Sui Xiong felt that the magic power of his incarnation was being consumed like running water, and he was shocked. But at this moment, the arrow on the bowstring had to be shot, so he had to bite his teeth and send the magic power of his real body to him. At the same time, he let his real body spread out as much as possible and rose to the sky to absorb as much magic power as possible to replenish the deficit.
Even so, he felt great pressure, and it was impossible to maintain this spell for a long time.
Fortunately, he was a god, and there was a huge gap between him and his target, so the consumption was relatively low. If those legendary masters were to cast this spell, not only would they need to hold a huge ceremony, but they would also have to spend a lot of magic power. Even so, they could only see a few blurry images at most.
Watching the live broadcast like this, even if the picture quality was low, was something that only gods could do.
So he hurriedly activated the spell, and the invisible eye moved quickly. It directly flew into the Viscount's mansion and flew toward the government office.
The Viscount's mansion was not big, and the invisible eye arrived at its destination in a short while. He saw a woman wearing glasses sitting on the viscount's throne, who looked very calm. She frowned and said something to an official next to her.
"That's her!" Sui Xiong cheered and hurriedly canceled the spell. The strange scene in front of him immediately disappeared like a burst bubble, without a trace.
The only thing left was a dumbfounded former lone bandit, who was wearing an exhausted jellyfish god on his head like a hat. He stood there in a daze.
"How could this work?!" Ray couldn't help but mutter, "Just randomly specify a target, and then use the spell to find them? This is too easy! "
Sui Xiong was too lazy to explain to this ignorant guy. Easy? Didn't he see that he was about to collapse from exhaustion?
"Are gods so powerful? I always feel that something is wrong … If it was so easy to find people, wouldn't I have been found a long time ago? Not to mention others, the Brutal Hunter has already sent an oracle, so he certainly won't be stingy with his magic power … Moreover, there are many strong people who have offended gods since ancient times, but I have never heard of anyone who was directly found by the spell … "
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't help but ask Sui Xiong what was going on, but Sui Xiong actually didn't know much about it, and the more he explained, the more confused he became. Finally, he had to put this doubt aside for the time being and talk about it later.
During the time of asking and explaining, Sui Xiong finally recovered his energy. So he urged Ray to go back to the city and buy a pen and paper. He grabbed the pen with his tentacles and drew on the paper for a while. Soon he drew a rather vivid sketch of a person. It was the woman wearing glasses.
"Then we go to find her?" Ray looked at the picture and silently praised the god's ability. It was just a jellyfish, but it was also good at drawing!
"Of course! This is the 'most suitable person to lead the Geerteng Territory' that I found with the spell, "Sui Xiong said proudly.
"But I have a question to ask," Ray said. "The picture we saw just now, is it the scene of the future?"
"It's not the future, but the scene of the future under the premise that 'the most suitable person to lead the Geerteng Territory' will be the Lord '," Sui Xiong corrected.
Ray nodded and asked, "So, the Lord we saw is actually what she will look like in the future?"
Sui Xiong was stunned. He hadn't thought about this.
"Your Majesty, what does the most suitable person to lead the Geerteng Territory look like now?"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but feel distressed. He pondered for a long time and drew several portraits on a few pieces of paper.
These portraits were the looks of the woman at different ages according to his own painting knowledge. About ten years old, about fifteen years old, about twenty years old, plus the original portrait of about thirty years old, this was the complete picture.
Now that they had this set of portraits, they went straight to the tavern in Geerteng City. After paying a few gold coins, they found their target from an intelligence dealer who was said to know everyone in Geerteng City.
"Isn't this little Olian? She is a distant relative of the Viscount and lives in the library." The old intelligence dealer was not bragging. He recognized the target just by looking at the portrait of the girl who was about ten years old. "But this year she is already fourteen — uh, fifteen years old. This is her portrait from a few years ago. It's well preserved. "
"Lives in the library? Is she the curator of the library? "Ray asked.
"How could it be! She is just a librarian who is in charge of borrowing books, "the intelligence dealer said with a smile." But she also sells books, and she copies them herself. Unfortunately, there are no particularly useful books, and they are all worthless leisure books. "
After asking for the location of the library, Ray hurriedly set out and found the target in a short time.
"Are you sure that this little girl is the suitable heir to the Viscount?" Looking at the girl with glasses who was sitting quietly behind the librarian's long desk at the entrance of the library, Ray couldn't help but doubt. "Is it because she is wearing a fur shawl that looks like the tentacles of a jellyfish?"
Sui Xiong was so angry that he raised his tentacles and knocked him on the head. "You can question my talent, but you can't question my character! How could I randomly choose someone for such a ridiculous reason! "
"How could a jellyfish have a character …" Ray touched his head. This was not a heavy blow. In the game, at most one point of HP would be deducted. For him, who had more than 250 HP, this was simply a drizzle, and he didn't buy it at all.
Although he was complaining, he couldn't delay his business. Ray slightly checked his appearance to make sure that he wouldn't scare the child. He slowly walked up to the girl and talked to her.
"Hello, I am an adventurer who is very interested in knowledge. May I know how to borrow books here?" he asked.
The girl put down the book, looked at him carefully for a while, and then shook her head.
"You are not a person who is interested in knowledge," she said.
Ray was a little embarrassed that his lie was exposed. He laughed dryly, looked around, and said in a low voice with a mysterious look, "Actually, I accidentally found a treasure map, and I want to go to the library to find some clues …"
"Please don't think I am stupid just because I am young." The girl adjusted her glasses, and there seemed to be a cold light in her eyes. "This is the place where the wisdom of the predecessors is preserved. If you want to perform comedy, I suggest you go to the tavern."
Ray was speechless for a few seconds, and then he sighed and said honestly, "My boss thinks that you are very promising, and he wants you to be the Viscount of Geerteng. I am not lying this time."
The girl, who had been calm all the time, finally showed a little panic, "Viscount? How can I be a Viscount? I am just a branch of the family … It is impossible. "
Ray's eyes suddenly brightened, "But you did think about it, didn't you?"
Without waiting for the girl to deny, he continued like a machine gun, "Don't try to deny it. You are not good at lying, and it is absolutely impossible for you to fool an experienced person like me! Don't talk about the branch of the family. The former king of the Eagle Kingdom, which is located in the center of the continent, was from the branch of the family. You can see through my lie, so it shows that you are indeed talented. Talented people should be ambitious, there is nothing wrong with this! "
He still wanted to continue to persuade and take down the girl in one go, but he suddenly received a warning from Sui Xiong. Without thinking, he directly jumped up and jumped at least ten steps away.
Almost at the same time when he jumped away, an old man wearing old clothes and holding an old broom, with gray hair and a bent body, suddenly appeared where he was standing, as if he had been there all the time.
Ray looked at the old man from afar. Although he could not feel any pressure or danger from the old man, there was a deep sense of oppression rising from the bottom of his heart. This sense of oppression was like an invisible hand grasping his heart and lungs, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"Legendary strong?" He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and slowly revealed the identity of the old man.
