For those who were not stressed, time passed quickly, and a week had passed without them noticing. But for those who were under great pressure, time passed very slowly, and every day felt like a year.
Because of Ray's sudden arrival, Romon, who had wanted to kill Steele before the inheritance was officially decided, did not dare to do it in advance. Steele, on the other hand, had been encouraging Ray to kill Romon to put an end to all troubles. However, Ray did not listen to her at all, so there was nothing she could do.
So for both of them, this week was quite difficult. Seeing all kinds of intrigue and sarcasm, they were always very nervous, like two taut bows that could break at any time.
Sui Xiong and Ray did not care, and just watched the fun. They also found out Romon's background. He was a professional swindler in the Kingdom of the Blue Moon in the east. He accidentally made a big deal and offended some powerful people, so he had to flee with his accomplices.
They suffered a lot along the way, and finally crossed more than half of the continent, and came to the territory of Geerteng. Here, Romon accidentally cheated a fat sheep, but found that the sheep turned out to be the illegitimate son of the lord. More importantly, the lord was dying of a serious illness, and as long as this illegitimate son could prove his identity, he could become the heir and become a viscount!
As the saying goes, seeking wealth comes from danger. Romon thought about it several times, and finally gritted his teeth and did it!
There was no need to explain the specific process. In short, with sharp means and a little luck, Romon finally succeeded in pretending to be this illegitimate son, and also pushed Steele, the original heir of the territory of Geerteng, out of the core power. As long as he passed the examination of the Alliance of Nobles, he could become the real Viscount of Geerteng.
Although he had been a swindler for half of his life, he had never done such a big business. Seeing that success was close at hand, he could not help but become more and more nervous. No matter how much he reminded himself to calm down, he could not help but become more and more anxious.
Of course, the crux of the problem was still the b * tch who should have died, but kept showing up in front of him!
"Ha, 'Why is that b * tch still alive!' Romon is mad in his heart again," Sui Xiong said to Ray with a smile. "Now he is mad in his heart from time to time, but he has to maintain an elegant smile on his face. It's really interesting!"
"Your Majesty, you are taking pleasure in my misfortune …"
"Taking pleasure in my misfortune? Here's a mirror. Look at yourself first. "
The mirror reflected Lei's upturned lips.
In fact, he really did not want to laugh, but Sui Xiong, through the mind channel, sent Romon's inner screams and his face that was pretending to be elegant. Comparing the two, it was hard not to laugh.
However, Romon was not the only one who was nervous. Steele was so nervous that she could not even smile. In order to relieve her stress, this loose woman would now do it four or five times a day. She would often come out of her room with a red face and some kind of suspicious smell after hearing the terrible noises coming from her room.
Sometimes, the sound would be especially violent and chaotic, and she would wobble when she walked out. Once, everyone even heard the roar of a magical beast, and when she walked out, they could clearly see liquid flowing down her legs to the ground.
Looking at her disappointing appearance, not to mention the people in the Viscount's Mansion, even Ray and Sui Xiong shook their heads again and again, feeling that a rotten wood could not be carved.
Of course, Sui Xiong could not help but express his feelings like "city people really know how to have fun", and Ray would seriously refute him, telling him that even the nobles in the city did not have fun like this …
"Really?" Sui Xiong expressed his doubt.
"Even if you don't believe me, you can look at the reactions of others. For example, that Romon. He's experienced and knowledgeable, but didn't you see how stunned he was? He didn't even care about his elegance!"
Sui Xiong carefully recalled and confirmed that just now, Romon did see Steele walk past with water stains. He was stunned and even rubbed his eyes, as if he suspected that his eyes were blurred. And his trusted master next to him was pinching his thigh, probably suspecting that he was not awake yet.
So he believed it.
Steele, this woman, was really … She had a high standard, a high level, and a high realm!
"Ray, I suddenly have an idea: if I establish the Holy Kingdom in the future, how about letting Steele shoot a promotional video for the Holy Kingdom?" He said excitedly, "This woman will definitely be very sexy and cause a storm! It is estimated that a promotional video alone can attract at least tens of thousands of believers! "
Ray thought very seriously for a while, sighed and nodded.
He had to admit that compared with all kinds of verbal promises and beautiful visions, it was indeed more attractive to directly make a tempting beauty, at least more attractive to men, except for eunuchs.
"But … in that case, aren't you an evil god who seduces and deceives people with beauty?" Ray knew that the morality of this jellyfish god was very different from that of human beings, but he still could not help but persuade him, "Only evil gods and demons will do that!"
"As long as I don't promise them that if they believe me, they can have sex with this beauty after death, it will not be deceiving," Sui Xiong said indifferently. "And I think that if Steele really becomes a resident of the Holy Kingdom and has an eternal life, I'm afraid that she will become even worse. At that time, maybe she will really make a great wish to have sex with all the residents of my Holy Kingdom … "
Ray sighed deeply, feeling a little pain in his liver.
He had originally been a little tempted to believe in this jellyfish god, who was generally agreeable to him, and it would be good to go to his Holy Kingdom after death. But now, he felt that it was necessary for him to think more about it.
Although most of it was just a distracting idea that would not be implemented, what if this guy really did it?
Would he be reduced to a colleague of a super slutty woman who not only slept with anyone, but also had a taste that was so heavy that she would not even let go of a magical beast?
… I will be harassed, I will definitely be harassed!
Who would want to go to such a Holy Kingdom!
Romon and Steele were not the only ones who were nervous about the upcoming critical moment, and Olian was no exception.
Although she knew that she had a good chance of winning, and it could even be said that she already had a chance of winning, she felt uncertain when she thought that she would have to expose Romon's disguise in public under the gaze of all the nobles and representatives, overwhelm Steele with her wisdom and momentum, and win the support of the nobles and representatives.
In order to be prepared, she specially quit her job as a librarian and locked herself at home. She carefully considered all kinds of situations that might be encountered that day, and made several sets of plans. She practiced and figured out every day so that she could perform perfectly and succeed in one fell swoop!
"I'm afraid that there will be a fight at that time. You have to be more careful," Sui Xiong reminded her. "Although I will use some defensive spells on you, magic is not omnipotent. Not to mention the wizards, even the gods have bad luck and will be hacked to death. "
"I will be careful, and …" Olian turned her head and glanced at Sui Xiong, who was floating in the air and chattering. She suddenly jumped up and kicked him without warning, but when she was about to kick him, she withdrew her foot. She turned around in the air and landed lightly on the ground, not even stirring up much dust.
"… I am not weak."
Sui Xiong was stunned. He did not expect that this seemingly gentle and quiet girl could actually fight!
Ray laughed and applauded, "Well done! You should scare this big jellyfish who looks down on people all day long! "
Sui Xiong was not angry, but also waved his tentacles and applauded.
"Awesome! Awesome! You are good enough to be an adventurer … "
"I'm afraid she can't be an adventurer. Her strength is still a little weak. She can only hit people, but it doesn't hurt the monster. Anyway, she only needs to hit people," Ray said with a smile. "In my opinion, we can even consider letting her have a glorious duel with Romon. When the glory of the Geerteng Family is about to be tarnished by a liar and an unfilial girl, the girl who has been silent for a long time finally can't bear it and angrily fights to defend the glory of the family with her fists. This kind of scene is definitely in line with the aesthetic standards of the nobles! "
"That's settled," Sui Xiong nodded. "But, does she have enough actual combat experience? Don't drop the ball at the critical moment. "
"I taught her," Wall said slowly. "In order to cultivate her courage, I took her to challenge a dragon."
Ray's eyes widened and he did not know what to say.
How could this soft and weak (compared to him) little girl challenge a giant dragon?!
It was impossible …
After a while, he asked stupidly, "Did you win?
This question was so stupid that Wall looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. "How could it be possible! If she could even defeat a dragon, would she still need our help? "
Ray laughed awkwardly and finally regained a little confidence. When he followed Sui Xiong to cross the Graystone Mountains, they also met a dragon. At that time, he was very excited to challenge it, but he was defeated. If Sui Xiong had not saved his life, he would probably have become dragon dung.
"What about the dragon?" he asked again.
"We just let it help us train and cultivate Olian's courage. After the duel, we will leave," Wall said. "But it seems to be very shocked. Maybe it will move."
"Every part of a dragon's body is a treasure! How can it be so wasted! "Ray could not help but say loudly," It's too wasteful! "
"I see that every part of your body is also a treasure, but it's still wasted." Sui Xiong snorted. "Don't forget that the thing on your neck is worth a piece of legendary equipment!"
"That's my head!"
"The useless head on your neck is worth a piece of legendary equipment. Why don't you exchange it for money?"
"If I lose my head, I will die!"
"Nonsense. Who told you that I will die if I lose my head?" Sui Xiong laughed. Dozens of tentacles intertwined with each other, making a cracking sound as if he was cracking knuckles. "Leave it to me. I can help you do a small operation and transform you into a headless knight … I guarantee it will be successful, and the operation fee will be free."
Of course, Ray did not want to become a headless knight, so he was immediately defeated.
Day after day passed, and the day that everyone had been waiting for finally arrived.
A high platform was set up in the square in front of the Viscount's mansion in Geerteng City. The nobles and representatives from all over the world were sitting in their respective seats, ready to choose the heir of the Geerteng Territory here according to the ancient tradition.
Romon and Steele had also sat in their respective seats. According to the tradition, they would be questioned by the nobles and subjects, and show their nobility and talent, so as to win the throne of the Viscount for themselves.
Under the high platform, the nobles of the Viscount's territory had also gathered. They had put on gorgeous clothes and were ready to welcome the new Viscount.
In the crowd, Olian, who was wearing an old sweater and accompanied by her teacher, looked up at the high platform uneasily.
"Are you nervous?" Wall asked.
"A little bit." Olian tapped her feet and silently hummed the folk song taught by her mother, but she could not calm down. "More excited."
"Excited is a good thing." Wall nodded. "Wait a little longer, and enjoy the last peaceful life."
"Soon, you will be the focus of everyone's attention!"
The girl nodded heavily and continued to look up at the high platform.
Noticing her gaze, the sunlight above Ray's head, who was sitting in the corner, slightly shook.
It was like … someone was smiling at her.
