Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 55
It was really not easy to find a talent like Orian.
Sui Xiong and Lei had no idea about the Gelten family and Gelten City, and had no idea where to find the right person. If they just wandered around like looking for a needle in a haystack, it would be even more difficult than the scouts on Earth who waited at the gate of a high school to observe female students leaving school and wanted to find a future movie queen.
Lei certainly understood this, so when Sui Xiong said he wanted to find a suitable viscount heir himself, he asked with some doubt: "You said you want to find a suitable talent, but where should you find it?"
Having been an adventurer and robber for many years, he really didn't think finding someone was an easy thing.
It would be fine if there was a fixed target, but now he was looking for a target without a specific target at all, and he had no idea at all.
Should he go to the tavern in this city, buy the most expensive wine first, and then ask the bartender for information?
This method might be able to find the most capable person in the city, or the richest person, or the most beautiful person, but he felt that the bartender might not know who was the most suitable person to be a viscount in this city.
Even if there is an answer, it will probably be Romon or Steele...
"You can't back down before you even start! I'll think of a way." Sui Xiong also realized that his plan was a bit unreliable. But he said it naturally, and he had to work hard to make it come true, so he had to rack his brains to search for useful methods from the information given by the God of Redemption.
After searching like this, he really found a way.
It was a spell that was a bit advanced and a bit outrageous, called "Observe the Future".
This spell is not a regular spell, but a "legendary spell" that goes beyond the norm. Its principle is a bit complicated, and its effect is also quite complicated - through preset conditions, then simulate the situation that will occur under these conditions, and observe.
The key to this spell lies in the life status gap between the observer and the observed object. The greater the status gap, the lower the observation consumption; the smaller the status gap, the higher the observation consumption. As for wanting to spy on the existence of a higher status than yourself, it's better to go to bed and don't have such daydreams.
Today, Sui Xiong is looking for a mortal, and he himself is a god, so the consumption will not be too great... right...
They left Gelten City first and found an open and remote place. Then Sui Xiong cast a spell to block the surrounding scene to avoid being seen. Then he began to chant the complicated spell, turning the vast magic power into an invisible clue and connecting it with infinite time.
In front of them, the air trembled, shaking and twisting constantly, as if something was gestating in it. There was even a terrifying breath slowly rising, which made the bold Lei feel uneasy.
After a while, Sui Xiong finished reciting the lengthy spell, and he used his divine power as a catalyst to activate this spell.
With a crisp sound, it seemed as if an invisible piece of glass shattered in front of them, shaking and swaying in the air, and a blurred picture appeared.
That was the city of Gelten, but unlike now, the city of Gelten in the picture was extremely prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, and it seemed that the pedestrians were in good spirits, which showed that the lord did govern the country well.
The Viscount's mansion was located in the center of the picture. From their perspective, it seemed to have 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 was on the string and could not be shot. He had to grit his teeth, while sending the magic power from the main body continuously, and letting the main body expand as much as possible, rise to the sky, absorb as much magic power as possible, and replenish the deficit.
Even so, he felt a huge pressure and it was impossible to maintain this spell for a long time.
Fortunately, he was a god, and the gap between him and the target was huge, so the consumption was relatively low. If those legendary wizards were to cast this spell, not only would they need to hold a huge ceremony, but they would also have to pay a huge amount of magic power - even so, they could only see a few blurry scenes at most.
Watching the live broadcast like he did, 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, flew directly into the Viscount's mansion, and flew towards the Government Affairs Office.
The Viscount's mansion was not big, and the invisible eye arrived at the destination in a short while. I saw a woman wearing glasses and looking very calm sitting on the Viscount's throne. 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 disappeared immediately like a bubble bursting, without a trace.
Only a stunned former lone thief was left, standing there blankly with an exhausted jellyfish god on his hat like a hat.
"This works?!" Lei couldn't help but mutter, "Just specify a target and then use a spell to find it? This is too easy!"
Sui Xiong was too lazy to explain to this ignorant guy - easy? Can't you see that he is almost exhausted!
"Are gods so powerful? I always feel something is wrong... If it's so easy to find someone, shouldn't I have been found long ago? Others aside, the Cruel Hunter has already issued an oracle, so he will definitely not be stingy with his magic power... Moreover, there are many powerful people who have offended gods throughout history, and I have never heard of any of them being found directly by magic..."
The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and he couldn't help but ask Sui Xiong for details. However, Sui Xiong himself didn't know much about it, and the more he explained, the more confused he became. In the end, he had to put this confusion aside for the time being and talk about it later.
During this period of questioning and explanation, Sui Xiong finally regained his energy. So he urged Lei to return to the city and buy pen and paper. I saw him grabbing the pen with his tentacles and sketching on the paper. After a while, he drew a rather vivid sketch of a character. It's exactly what the woman wearing glasses looks like.
"Then we will go find her?" Lei looked at the painting and silently admired that the god was really capable, even though he was just a jellyfish, he was actually good at painting!
"Of course! This is the 'most suitable talent to lead the Geerten Territory' that I found using magic." Sui Xiong said proudly.
"But I have a question." Lei said, "The picture we just saw is the future, right?"
"It's not the future, but the future scenario under the premise that the Gerten Territory will be led by the talents most suitable to lead it." Sui Xiong corrected.
Lei nodded and asked: "So, the lord we saw is actually her future appearance?"
Sui Xiong was stunned. He had never thought of this.
"So Your Majesty, what does this person who is most suitable to lead the Gelteng Territory look like now?"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but become distressed. He pondered for a long time and drew several portraits on several pieces of paper.
These portraits are the looks of the woman at different ages that he inferred based on his knowledge of painting. Around ten years old, around fifteen years old, around twenty years old, plus the original portrait of about thirty years old, this is complete.
Now that they had this set of portraits, they went straight to the tavern in Gelten City. After paying a few gold coins, they found their target from an information dealer who was said to "know everyone, men, women, and children in the entire Gelten City." .
"Isn't this little Orian? She is a distant relative of the Viscount and lives in the library." The old information dealer really didn't brag. He only looked at the portrait of about ten years old and recognized the target. "But she is already fourteen - er, fifteen years old. This is a portrait of her from a few years ago, and it is quite well preserved."
"Lives in the library? Is she the librarian of the library?" Lei asked.
"How is that possible! She is the administrator responsible for borrowing books." The information dealer said with a smile, "But she also sells books, which she copied herself. Unfortunately, there are no particularly useful books, they are just idle books of little value. "
After asking for the location of the library, Lei hurriedly set off and found his target in just a moment.
"Are you sure this little girl is a suitable heir to the Viscount?" Looking at the bespectacled girl sitting quietly reading behind the administrator's desk at the entrance to the library, Lei couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be because she is wearing The fur shawl looks like a jellyfish tentacle, right?”
Sui Xiong was so angry that he hit him on the head with his tentacle: "You can question my talent, but you can't question my personality! How could I randomly choose people for such ridiculous reasons!"
"Where does the personality of the jellyfish come from..." Lei touched his head. This blow was not serious at all. According to the game, it only deducted 1 health point at most. For him who conservatively estimated that he had more than 250 health points, it was simply It's just a drizzle, I don't buy it at all.
Complaints are complaints, and business cannot be delayed. Lei checked his appearance briefly to make sure that he would not scare the child, then slowly walked forward and spoke to the girl.
"Hello, I am an adventurer who is very interested in knowledge. How do I go about borrowing 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 interested in knowledge," she said.
The lie was revealed, which made Lei feel a little embarrassed. He laughed twice, looked around, made a mysterious look, and whispered: "Actually, I accidentally discovered a treasure map, and I want to go to the library to look for it. clue……"
"Please don't think I'm stupid just because I'm young." The girl adjusted her glasses and there seemed to be a cold light in her eyes. "This is a place of knowledge that preserves the wisdom of the past. If you want to perform comedy, I suggest you go to the tavern."
Lei was choked for several seconds, then sighed and said honestly: "My boss thinks you have a lot of potential and wants you to be Viscount Gerten - I really didn't lie this time."
The girl who had always been calm and calm finally showed a little panic: "Viscount? How can I be a viscount? I'm just a side branch... It's impossible."
Lei's eyes suddenly lit up: "But you have really thought about this, right!"
Before the girl could deny it, he continued with a flurry of words: "Don't try to deny it. You are not good at lying. It is absolutely impossible to deceive a veteran like me! Don't talk about side issues. The previous king of the Eagle Kingdom in the center of the continent was born in a foreign country. You can see through my lies, so you can see that talented people should have ambitions. There is nothing wrong with that!"
He wanted to continue persuading and take down the girl in one go, but suddenly received a warning from Sui Xiong. Without thinking, he jumped up and jumped at least ten steps in one go.
Almost at the same time as he jumped away, an old man wearing old clothes, holding an old broom, with gray hair and a stooped body, who looked very down and out, suddenly appeared where he was standing before, as if he had always been here. of.
Lei looked at the old man from a distance. Although he could not feel any pressure or danger from the old man, he felt a deep sense of oppression rising from the bottom of his heart. This sense of oppression was like an invisible hand holding his heart and lungs, making him feel that he even had difficulty breathing.
"Legendary-powerful-man?" He took a deep breath to calm his emotions while slowly telling the identity of the old man.
Thanks to the reader "Zhou Ye Xing" for his enthusiastic reward! Your support is my motivation to update!
