Ray's roar was like a bolt from the blue.
The nobles and representatives on the stage trembled with fear, and at least five or six of them subconsciously launched their protective magic devices, which were wrapped by colorful lights. There was even more than one person who was at a loss of what to do in their panic. Somehow, they even fell down with their chairs, looking extremely battered and exhausted.
The people below the stage weren't any better. The courageous ones could still stand, but the timid ones were so scared that they fell on their butts. At least a third of the people even lay down on the ground, trembling and not daring to stand up. It was as if they were prostrating themselves to the ground.
For a moment, it was unknown how many pairs of eyes were looking at the strong man who was famous for his strength. However, this strong man did not have his usual toughness. Instead, he was trembling all over, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead and cheeks. His legs were trembling as if they were pendulums. His mouth was stammering, and he could not even say a word.
However, he could at least say a syllable.
"Dragon … Dragon … Dragon …"
His voice wasn't loud, but in this deathly silence, it was at least loud enough for everyone on the high platform to hear.
As a result, everyone became more and more nervous and scared, and the sound of teeth chattering could be heard.
Since he was arranged to sit on the stage by Steele, Ray had been very quiet. It seemed that he did not care about anything and was just here to go through the motions. Even when Steele was extremely embarrassed during the debate and asked him for help with her eyes, he did not care at all.
This made the representative next to him, who was arranged by Romon, feel very relieved. He thought that this strong man had given up after seeing that Steele was useless.
But at this moment, everyone understood.
In front of a strong man who could emit dragon-like momentum, all the rules, principles, and advantages … were all decorations and meaningless.
His will was the key factor to decide everything.
They looked at this knight in black armor with fear and trepidation, as if they were poor people who had offended a noble lord and were being led to the court to wait for the judgment.
"Your Majesty, you have gone too far," Ray said to Sui helplessly. "They are so scared that they almost peed themselves …"
"That's because their spirits are too weak. Look at Olian. Except for her slightly pale face, she is fine."
"… She knows you won't hurt her, but others don't! Look at that big guy, he's about to go crazy! "
Sui Xiong carefully observed the strong man, who was so scared that even his eyes were a little dull. He couldn't help but be a little curious. This guy was quite powerful. Why was he so scared?
Taking advantage of the brawny man's confusion and defenseless state, he peeked into the brawny man's mind and saw that it was a chaotic scene. Scarlet flames danced everywhere, tearing apart the dark night. Countless people were running, screaming, and wailing. In the sky, a huge grayish-red figure was cruising around, emitting a suffocating and terrifying aura. Its mouth and nose were constantly spewing out sparks, and from time to time, it would spit out a ball of blazing flame, turning trees, houses, and even humans and animals into burning torches.
It was an evil dragon wreaking havoc.
It was obvious that this scene had left a huge shadow in his heart. Even now, when he felt the power of the giant dragon, he was on the verge of collapse.
This was a person who had already been defeated. No wonder he was so strong, yet he was easily bribed by Romon.
If it was Ray, even if his true strength wasn't that much stronger than him, but he was just a mere swindler. Did he think he could bribe him with such tricks? He would definitely be cut into two pieces by his sword!
Of course, the "Firebird" that Ray had just displayed was not his own. It was transmitted by Sui Xiong's real body, and the sample he took came from Frost — the one with the worst temper and the one who liked to get angry the most among the three dragons in the grocery store.
In terms of strength, Snowflake, who was already a legendary strongman, was certainly far stronger than Frost. But in terms of the intensity of the Firebird, when Frost was angry, even Snowflake's momentum was not as terrible as his.
Perhaps this was because Snowflake's character was relatively peaceful, and it was difficult for her to really get angry. But Frost was a firecracker, and would explode at the slightest provocation …
After using the real Firebird to suppress the situation, Ray swaggered to the center of the high platform. He first looked at Romon, who was trembling, and then at Olian, who was not afraid at all. He sneered and said, "It's just a scroll. There's no need to be so troublesome! You two go down together. The square under the platform is so big. Isn't it enough to cast the spell? "
"But Your Excellency, if there is no reference, some people will doubt the effect of the magic," Olian replied calmly.
Even in the face of a suspected giant dragon, she was very calm and did not panic at all. This made the eyes of many relatively neutral nobles and representatives light up, and many of them even secretly thought of another possibility.
If Romon's bloodline was proved to be fake, not only could he not be the heir, but he would also be executed for trying to cheat the aristocratic inheritance. And Steele was not suitable to inherit the title because she had seriously lost her manners on a sacred occasion — even if she had not lost her manners, this bitch was not suitable to inherit the title.
In contrast, Olian Geerteng, who suddenly appeared, was not only reliable, but also quite talented. A person who could remain calm in the face of the Firebird, even if she was slightly lacking in other aspects, could be qualified to be a lord by virtue of her courage alone.
And … this little girl could actually take out a legendary magic scroll, so it was very likely that she was similar to a "guardian" that the Geerteng family had been hiding. Many families with a long history would prepare a guardian like this. Usually, they were just a side branch of the family, and they did not show their strength, and even their sense of existence was very weak. But at the critical moment, they would often take out precious treasures or show powerful strength to turn the tide and save the family from the crisis.
Now the Geerteng family was indeed in a crisis, and it was indeed a good choice to let the guardian inherit the title.
Ray, who had a great talent for acting, appropriately displayed the arrogance of a giant dragon. He smiled and kicked Steele, who was paralyzed, directly from the high platform to the square. She landed lightly on the ground and was not injured at all. His use of strength was simply wonderful!
Of course, this was not Ray's real strength, but the result of Sui helping him to act. If one day he could only rely on his own strength to do this kind of thing, then he would probably really step into the legendary realm.
"Well, isn't that the reference?" Ray said casually.
Olian nodded and jumped off the high platform. Her movement was as light as a swallow, and she landed steadily on the ground with a flip, showing her good skills.
Ray looked at Romon again, "Do you want to go down by yourself, or do you need my help?"
Looking at Ray's almost perfect but expressionless face, Romon shivered and said quickly, "I can go down by myself! Don't bother me, Your Excellency! "
Then he ran down the stairs as fast as he could, as if there was a tiger chasing and biting him.
However, when he came to the ground, he did not go to Steele and Olian, but turned around and went under the high platform. Then he took out a scroll and activated it.
"I'm not stupid enough to take the Collapse of Demonic Energy! Run! "
The teleportation spell stored in the scroll was immediately activated. Before anyone could react, it turned into a white light, wrapped around him, and soared into the sky. In an instant, they disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sentence echoing in the air.
He ran away.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"Even I didn't expect that … This guy is really talented. He even deceived a god!" Sui Xiong did not know whether to laugh or cry, and he could not help but sigh.
Romon was really a first-class liar. He was not only good at acting, but also decisive.
Sui Xiong was sure that at least when he was standing in front of Ray, he had absolutely no idea of running away. Presumably, he had weighed the pros and cons when he was going down the stairs, figured out all the stakes, and then decided to run away decisively.
And the way he ran away was also very clever. First, he went under the high platform and hid in the blind spot of Ray and Sui Xiong's vision. Then, before everyone knew what was going on, he activated the transmission scroll and ran away, leaving all his belongings behind, as well as all his accomplices, without any hesitation or reluctance.
After coming to this world, Sui Xiong had seen many outstanding people, but when it came to quick-wittedness and decisiveness, Romon was absolutely worthy of the first place. No one could compare with him!
"This man is a talent." That night, in the simple room in the library, Wall said so. "As long as he doesn't die, he will be famous in the world sooner or later!"
Sui Xiong and Ray both agreed with his view. An outstanding liar who could quickly find a chance to escape when he felt danger was really rare. The reason why Romon failed this time was not that there was any flaw in his plan or action, but that he encountered unexpected factors that could not be realized.
This was a trick of fate, that was all.
Of course, if it was said that "God has eyes, bad people will not succeed", maybe it was not impossible.
Anyway, this was what happened, and it was purely accidental.
"Teacher, will you continue to stay in the library?" Olian asked with tears in her eyes, and her face was full of worry. "You won't leave, will you?"
That day, after Romon ran away, the aristocrats and representatives decided to let Olian succeed as the Viscount of Geerteng after a discussion.
This result was not beyond the girl's expectation, so she did not seem very happy. In contrast, another piece of news made her a little sad.
After this matter, Sui Xiong and Ray would continue to the south, through the Wild Marsh of Ancient Woods, the Broken Cloud Mountains, and the Ancient Forest, to the Golden Tower City of the Mifata Federation, and to recruit the fallen aristocrat who was quite talented in internal affairs.
This greatly surprised Olian, and she could not help but persuade, "Your Majesty, don't you want to build a Holy Land? Can't you build the Geerteng Territory? As the Lord, I can help you arrange it. As long as you spend eight to ten years … if everything goes well, maybe the Geerteng Territory will become the Holy Land of your faith before the Holy Land in the Northern Region is built! "
"Maybe so … but I am still very curious about the knight that Satan highly admires," Sui Xiong said with a smile. Sui Xiong said with a smile. "Besides, you've just become the Lord. It's not good for you to criticize the issue of belief."
"It is a matter of course for believers to pay for God and for their faith. How can it not be good?"
"… Alas! You people are still too naive! " Sui Xiong just shook his head. "Anyway, you just do your job as the Lord. In the future, when my church is established, you just need to help me a little when I come to preach."
"That is not enough!"
"It is enough. This is the will of God." Sui Xiong put a big hat on her, and Olian was suddenly speechless. Then he changed the tentacles into palms, rubbed the girl's soft hair, and said with a smile, "Don't worry. When you are old, my Holy Kingdom will be built. At that time, I will reserve a place for you in the Holy Kingdom. After you come here, you don't need to change your profession, and you can still be the Lord. "
So it was settled. And that was the reason why Olian was worried that Wall would also leave.
"I won't leave. Where can I go?" Wall was amused by the girl's nervous look. "I have been sweeping the land here for 50 years, and if everything goes well, I will continue to sweep until the day when I can kill my way to the Cloud City with the Black Blade in my hand. Don't worry, I won't leave you. "
Seeing that Olian finally stopped crying and smiled, Sui Xiong also couldn't help smiling.
He hoped that she could keep this pure heart for a long time, and treat the people in the territory well.
As the God she believed in, this was his biggest hope for the girl.
