Banner of the Evil God
Chapter 61
Lei's roar was like a bolt from the blue.
The nobles and representatives on the stage were frightened and trembled violently. At least five or six of them subconsciously activated their magic props for protection and were wrapped in colorful lights. More than one person was at a loss in panic, and somehow fell down with his chair, making a mess.
The people below the stage were not much better. The brave ones could still stand firmly, while the timid ones were so scared that they sat on the ground. At least one-third of them even lay down directly, trembling and not daring to stand up, as if they were prostrating themselves.
For a moment, countless eyes were cast on the strong man who was famous for his strength, but this strong man was completely without his usual toughness. Instead, he was trembling all over, cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead and cheeks, his legs were shaking like a malaria, and his mouth was stuttering, unable to say a word.
However, he was still able to say a syllable.
"Dragon... Dragon... Dragon..."
His voice was not loud, but in the dead silence, at least it was loud enough for everyone on the platform to hear.
The result was that everyone became more nervous and fearful, and the sound of teeth chattering became one.
Since being arranged by Steele to sit on the platform, Lei has been very quiet, as if he didn't care about anything and just went through the motions. Even when Steele was extremely embarrassed during the debate and looked at him for help, he ignored it.
This made the representative arranged by Romon sitting next to him very relieved, thinking that this strong man had given up after seeing that Steele was a hopeless case.
But at this moment, everyone understood.
In front of an unparalleled strong man who can exude the power of a dragon, any rules, any reason, any advantage... are all decorations and meaningless.
His will is the key factor that determines everything.
They looked at the black-armored knight in fear, like a poor man who had offended a noble lord and was tied up and taken to court to wait for judgment.
"Your Majesty, you've gone too far." Lei said helplessly to Sui Xiong, "They were so scared that they almost peed..."
"That's because they are too fragile mentally. Look at Orian. Except for a slightly pale face, there is nothing wrong with her."
"...She knows you won't hurt her, but others don't know! Look at that big guy, he's almost scared crazy!"
Sui Xiong carefully observed the sturdy man who was so scared that his eyes were a little dull, and couldn't help but be curious-this guy is also quite powerful, how could he be scared like this?
Taking advantage of the sturdy man's mental confusion and losing his guard, he peeked into the sturdy man's heart and saw a chaotic scene. The red flames jumping around tore through the dim night. Countless people were running away, shouting, and wailing. In the sky, a huge gray-red figure was cruising, exuding a suffocating terrifying power. Sparks kept spewing out of its mouth and nose, and from time to time it spit out a ball of blazing flames, turning trees, houses, and even people and animals into blazing torches.
That was a raging dragon.
It can be seen that this scene left a huge shadow in his heart, so that until now, when he felt the might of the dragon, he was on the verge of collapse.
This is a person who has been defeated. No wonder he is so strong, but he was easily bribed by Luo Meng.
If it were Lei, even if his real strength was not much stronger than his, but a liar wanted to bribe him with tricks like empty hands and white wolves? He would definitely be cut in two by his sword!
The "dragon power" that Lei just displayed was of course not his own. It was transmitted by Sui Xiong through his body. The sample was taken from Shuang, the one with the biggest temper and who liked to get angry the most among the three dragons in the grocery store.
In terms of strength, Xuehua, who is already a legendary strongman, is of course much stronger than Shuang. But in terms of the strength of dragon power, when Shuang showed his power, even Xuehua's momentum was not as terrible as his.
Perhaps this is because Snowflake is a calm person and it is difficult for her to really get angry, while Shuang is a firecracker who can easily get angry...
After using the real dragon's might to calm the situation, Lei swaggered to the center of the platform, first looked at the trembling Romon, then looked at Orian who showed no fear, and sneered: "It's just a scroll, why bother! You two go down together, there is such a large square under the platform, isn't it enough to cast a spell?"
"But sir, if there is no reference, some people will doubt the effect of magic." Orian replied calmly.
Even when facing a suspected dragon, she was unusually calm and not panicked at all. This made many nobles and representatives with a relatively neutral attitude brighten their eyes, and many people even secretly considered another possibility.
If Romon's bloodline was proven to be forged, then not only would he not be able to become the heir, but he would also be executed for attempting to defraud the nobles' inheritance rights. Steele was already unfit to inherit the title because of her serious misconduct in a sacred occasion - even if she hadn't been so, this bitch wouldn't be fit to inherit the title.
In contrast, this suddenly appearing Orian Gelten was not only reliable, but also quite talented. A person who could remain calm in the face of dragon might, even if his other talents were slightly lacking, was qualified to be a lord just by courage.
And... this little girl was actually able to take out a legendary spell scroll. She was probably a "Guardian" like figure that the Gelten family had been ambushing. Many families with a long history will prepare guardians like this. They are usually just side branches of the family, not prominent, and even have a weak sense of existence. But at critical moments, they often take out precious treasures or show great strength to turn the tide and save the family from danger.
The Gerten family is indeed in crisis now, and it is indeed a good choice for the guardian to inherit the title.
Lei, who is very talented in acting, appropriately demonstrated the arrogance of the dragon. He smiled slightly, put his foot on the limp Steele, and kicked her directly from the high platform to the square, but she landed lightly on the ground without any injuries. . The use of power is simply wonderful!
This is of course not Lei's real strength, but the result of Sui Xiong helping him act. If one day he can do this kind of thing just by relying on his own ability, then he will probably truly enter the realm of legend.
"Well, isn't that a reference?" Lei said casually.
Orian nodded and jumped off the high platform. Her movements were as nimble as a swallow. She turned over and landed firmly on the ground, showing her good skills.
Lei looked at Luo Meng again: "Are you going down by yourself, or should I help?"
Luo Meng looked at Lei's almost perfect but expressionless face, trembled, and said quickly: "I can just go down by myself! No need to trouble your Excellency!"
As he spoke, he ran down the stairs quickly, as if a tiger was chasing him and biting him.
However, when he came to the ground, he did not go towards Steele and Orian. Instead, he turned around and got under the high platform, then took out a scroll and activated it.
"I'm a fool to take a hit from Mana Collapse! Run!"
The teleportation technique stored in the scroll was activated immediately, and before anyone could react, it turned into white light, wrapped him up into the sky, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a sentence echoing in the air.
He ran away.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"Even I didn't expect it... This guy is so talented, he even fooled the gods!" Sui Xiong couldn't help but sigh.
This guy Luo Meng is truly a first-class liar. Not only can he act, but he can also make decisions on the spot.
Sui Xiong was certain that at least when he stood in front of Lei, he had absolutely no thoughts of running away. He must have weighed the pros and cons while going down the stairs, figured out all the stakes, and then decisively decided to run away.
And his method of escaping was also very clever. First he got under the high platform and hid in the visual blind spot of Lei and Sui Xiong. Then before everyone understood what was going on, he activated the teleportation scroll and flew away, taking his own. He abandoned all his wealth and all his comrades without hesitation or nostalgia.
After coming to this world, Sui Xiong has met many people with outstanding talents, but when it comes to quick wit and decisiveness, this Luo Meng is definitely the number one, no one can match him!
"This man is a talent." That night, Wall said in the simple cabin in the library, "As long as he doesn't die, he will become famous in the world sooner or later!"
Sui Xiong and Lei both agreed with him. An outstanding liar can quickly find opportunities to escape when he feels in danger. Such talents are indeed rare. The reason why Romon failed this time was not because there were any flaws in his plans and actions, but because he encountered unexpected factors that made it impossible to realize his expectations.
This is a trick of fate, nothing more.
Of course, it may not be impossible to say, "The sky has eyes, and bad guys will not succeed."
Anyway, that's what happened, purely by chance.
"Teacher, will you continue to stay in the library?" Orian asked with tears in her eyes and worry on her face, "You won't leave too, right?"
During the day today, after Romon escaped, the nobles and representatives discussed and decided to let Orian succeed Viscount Gerten.
This result was not beyond the girl's expectations at all, so she didn't look very happy. In contrast, it was another news that made her a little sad.
Now that things have happened, Sui Xiong and Lei will continue south, passing through the Ancient Wood Swamp, Duanyun Mountains and the Ancient Forest, heading to the Golden Tower City of the Mystic Tower Federation to recruit the down-and-out nobleman who has considerable internal affairs talents.
This surprised Orian, and she couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, don't you want to establish a holy land? Isn't it possible for the Gerten Territory? As a lord, I can help you arrange it. It only takes ten or eight years... If everything goes well, maybe before the Holy Land in the North is built, Geerten Territory will become a holy land exclusive to your faith!"
"That may be the case...but I am still very curious about the knight whom Satan highly admires." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Besides, you have just become the lord, and it is not good to dictate matters of faith."
"It is natural for believers to pay for gods and faith. How could it not be great!"
"...Alas! You people are still too simple-minded!" Sui Xiong just shook his head, "In short, just be your lord. In the future, when you have a stable position and the church over there is established, come and preach. Just give me a little help."
"This is not enough!"
"That's enough. This is God's will." Sui Xiong put a big hat on Orian, leaving her speechless. Then he changed his tentacles into palms, rubbed the girl's soft hair, and said with a smile, "Don't worry. When you are old, my kingdom of God will definitely be built. I will leave a place for you in the kingdom of God. You don't need to change your career after you come here. You can still be the lord as usual."
So it was settled, and Orian was worried that Woer would leave because of this.
"I won't leave. Where can I go?" Woer was amused by the girl's nervous look. "I have been sweeping the floor here for fifty years. If nothing unexpected happens, I will continue to sweep until the day I kill the Cloud City with a black blade. Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
Seeing Orian finally burst into tears and laugh, Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile.
I hope she can keep this innocent heart for a long time, and treat the people in the territory well.
As the god she believes in, this is his greatest expectation for the girl.
