Banner of the Evil God

An atmosphere of joy filled the small manor, and everyone was beaming with joy.

Because, the lord, who has always suffered from having no offspring, finally welcomed his son today. The inheritance crisis that has been plaguing this territory has finally been resolved.

This is a great happy event! You should know that nobles without inheritance rights will have their territories taken back after their death. That not only meant that his family was cut off, it also meant that his subordinates lost their shelter, and even his subjects were unavoidable. Most of the new nobles did not know how much they had spent. No matter how many tricks Qian Qian used to obtain the territory, each one of them was greedy and ruthless, and they had to establish their authority as soon as they arrived, and the people who established their authority were naturally the people they controlled.

Thinking about that situation, one can't help but shudder.

In comparison, although my lord is a little less reliable, at least he is not a bad person and he knows everyone well. It was finally a good choice to let his family rule forever.

When Sui Xiong quietly came to this manor, what he saw was a scene of laughter and laughter.

With his divine power, the thoughts of mortals are simply transparent to him, and he can tell the truth at a glance.

After watching for a while, he nodded secretly, feeling a little happy in his heart.

"This lord is not bad at all. I didn't save the wrong person."

A moment later, he saw the lord who was leading a large group of people to worship the newly built Void Mask statue.

The baron's face was now glowing red, and he was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. He was completely different from the sad look on his face before. From him, a light of faith so strong that it was somewhat dazzling rose, as if he had become a fanatic believer in Sui Xiong.

Sui Xiong shook his head and waited until the celebration was over before secretly appearing in front of him.

"It's a good thing that you have a son. But why bother with such a big ceremony!" He said, "I don't think your manor is big, and it doesn't look like you have a lot of money. Just pretending to be fat is not good." What's the meaning?"

The baron smiled and didn't tell the difference, just thanked him repeatedly.

Youdao stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, but Sui Xiong just said a few words casually, but he didn't actually take it seriously. After chatting for a while, he couldn't help but ask how on earth this guy got into trouble with the family goddess in the first place?

It is not a common thing for mortals to provoke gods. Generally speaking, only a strong man of Leon's level could make the gods angry and impose punishments.

However, when he asked, he couldn't help but laugh and laugh - the reason why this guy offended the family goddess was because he worked as a matchmaker and matched a pair of young people. And the woman among the pair of young people happened to be a saint from the Church of the Family Goddess.

Most churches have a "holy son" system. The so-called holy son is a talent specially cultivated to allow gods to possess and descend when necessary. If such a person is a woman, she is called a saint.

Regardless of whether they are saints or saints, they generally have very strict requirements. An important requirement of the family goddess for the saint is abstinence.

"You are so audacious! You actually helped others seduce a saint from another church...and you were not beaten to death. You are considered a great blessing!"

After learning what happened, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing and swearing a few words.

"What an injustice, Your Majesty! I didn't know at all at the time!" The baron cried out in aggrieved voice. "It wasn't until I opened the gifts they left for me after I sent them to the ship to fly away that I realized that I had gotten into a big trouble..."

After learning the truth, the guy was so frightened that he didn't even dare to go back to the hotel. He didn't even dare to ask for his luggage and ran away. Thanks to his fast running, the knights of the Family Goddess Church were unable to catch up and allowed him to escape.

But he could escape the pursuit of mortals, but he could not escape the punishment of gods. The goddess of the family cursed him and punished him to have no descendants.

This happened fifteen or sixteen years ago, when he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but now he is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Sui Xiong listened to what he said, nodded slightly, and asked: "You have a child now, what are you going to do? Let me tell you, although I can help you resolve the curse, the anger of the family goddess has not disappeared, and you must let her Just calm down."

"...If I had my way, would I have been in such a state of despair until now?"

Sui Xiong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought about it.

As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. Even if Sui Xiong could protect him for a while, how could he protect him for the rest of his life?

In this world, if you want to have the power to protect yourself from the wrath of the gods, you must at least become a legendary strongman like Leon. And this unlucky guy is not even as good as the lowest level entry-level adventurer, he is just a rookie.

After thinking about it, he finally tried to send a message to the family goddess, asking how he could make the goddess calm down and let go of this mortal who had been punished for more than ten years.

The answer from the family goddess came quickly. She said that as long as the nobleman dedicated a child to Him and became the holy son of His church, the matter would be over.

The baron immediately grimaced - he finally had a son, and he still wanted to inherit the family business. How could he go to the Church of the Family Goddess to be a holy son!

However, Sui Xiong's eyes rolled and he had an idea: "What are you afraid of! The family goddess has no time limit!"

"ah?"

"You are only in your thirties. Now you can cheer up and have a few more children. What's the problem?"

The baron suddenly realized this and finally felt relieved.

In the bright temple, the elegant family goddess sighed and shook her head.

"How is it?" asked a tall and majestic figure next to him.

"Although he is willing to be reasonable, he is a slippery man." The family goddess said, "It is not easy to conquer him!"

"It's not easy. A strong man who can cultivate the God of Knowledge cannot be conquered so easily." The majestic figure said with a smile, "But no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try. Maybe he In fact, it is not of much value, but his god is of great significance. If it can be included in our human god system, it will be of great help to our development and growth!"

"It's really amazing to say that from ancient times to the present, countless people have been walking on the road of wisdom and culture, but it is only now that someone has taken the crucial step and realized the separation of 'wisdom'. Although it is said that This will happen sooner or later, but it is happening now, and it is being realized in the hands of His followers. It is really a strange feeling." The glowing figure touched his fat chin, thinking and talking to himself, " Could it be that... in a turbulent era again, is this big jellyfish a key figure in destiny? "

"Haha... no way! How could the fate of the world be carried by a jellyfish!" He laughed, as if he also found it funny.

The family goddess hesitated for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty...if you accept the God of Knowledge, it means you will become the enemy of the Lord of Mysteries..."

"Be an enemy, be an enemy, what does it matter?" The tall figure laughed loudly, "Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him! My Hammer of Pagoda has been lonely for so many years, so I can train it with a good opponent. Come back, that’s not bad.”

Of course, Sui Xiong couldn't know what was going on in other people's kingdoms. He solved the problem of the baron and stayed in his territory temporarily to observe the construction of his temple.

The baron's surname was Henry. At Sui Xiong's suggestion, he named his eldest son "Ou".

"Does this name have any special meaning?" asked Baron Henry.

"Of course it makes sense, that means he will become a cultural person." Sui Xiong answered plausibly and seemingly seriously.

Baron Henry was very satisfied with this answer, and also very satisfied with His Majesty Void Mask's plan for his son's future.

As a nobleman, being a cultural person who stayed away from fights was a very honorable and stylish way of life. Compared with those who practice martial arts and run out to be adventurers, but end up dying unknown; or those who learn spells and then squander their family wealth on spell research, become a cultural person, whether they are poets or poets. Well, whether you are a scholar, a painter, or a musician, in short, it is all very good.

...Of course, he didn't know that Sui Xiong was thinking, "This name is very suitable for a comedian, and he must have a bright future in cross talk."

Baron Henry was not wealthy, and the temple was not large. Even so, it was not something that Baron Henry could afford on his own. The reason why it could be successfully built was mainly due to the support of the Church of the Mask of the Void.

Relying on the teleportation array that was built with the highest priority, enough wealth and manpower were successfully delivered to complete this simple temple.

It does not use tall arches and stone pillars like ordinary temples, nor does it have towering statues or gorgeous reliefs. It is just a room built of bricks and wood. It is taller than ordinary houses, has a specially decorated door, and there are many paintings hanging in the house, that's all.

By the way, the author of several of those paintings was signed "Hai Luo"—actually the pen name Sui Xiong gave himself.

A few days before the first snow fell that year, the temple was finally completed and the first formal sacrifice was held.

The person who presided over the entire sacrificial ceremony was Milomon, the werewolf scout who switched to the Church of the Mask of the Void because of his love for food.

This gourmet lover who had transitioned from an orc to a half-orc studied cooking for a long time in the Mask of the Void amusement park, and eventually became a glorious priest.

Why does learning cooking skills lead to becoming a priest? Such a trivial matter is not worth pursuing...

All in all, Milomon, who became a priest, did a good job and was very qualified and competent. Especially after performing sacrifices, he often held banquets with believers. Although most of the dishes he cooked were home-cooked dishes, his exquisite craftsmanship and keen taste still conquered everyone's stomach, and also helped spread the faith of the Church of the Mask of the Void. Made a huge contribution.

Well, good, good.
