Banner of the Evil God

Because he had never studied illusion before, Sui Xiong spent almost a day sorting out the common illusion direction spells and successfully changed his profession to become an illusion master.

Only then did he realize that illusions were indeed very useful.

For example, for the small conflict in the tavern yesterday, he could actually use a group illusion to resolve it. It would just let everyone see the scene of "two burly men beating a black-haired traveler". It doesn't matter whether this scene actually happened or not.

Yes, after the illusion spell reaches a certain level, it is completely possible to make a lie out of nothing and make it come true. It is not the most advanced thing to cause a group of people to have an illusion like this. The most advanced illusions can cause a large group of people to suffer burns, frostbite, or even death. Even an autopsy cannot detect it - in fact, it is just an illusion effect.

Compared with other spells, if illusion magic is to achieve a certain effect, its biggest advantage is probably its speed. Under normal circumstances, only one spell is enough to solve the problem - if one spell cannot solve the problem, because the opponent will temporarily gain a spell immunity enhancement against the spellcaster, using a few more spells will probably be in vain, and it feels like a one-shot deal. .

Of course, with the strength of Sui Xiong's magic, it is completely impossible for a mortal to resist the illusion he casts, and even gods may not be able to do it.

"Okay, now I am also an expert in illusion." After completing the preparations, Sui Xiong confidently walked out of the guest room and went to the small restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel to eat.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart, frowned, and looked in the direction of the entrance of Samath Manor.

Several soldiers held Wei Shake, who was beaten all over, with a rope around his neck, and hung him on a gallows outside the manor's drawbridge.

Wei Shake was obviously seriously injured and was unable to offer any resistance until he was hanged. Several friends who often went on adventures with him were watching nearby, their eyes full of unbearability, but they didn't dare to do anything.

Sui Xiong shook his head, lost interest in eating, and turned back to the room.

On the floor of the room, Wei Shake, who was covered in injuries, opened his eyes in a daze.

"I...amn't I dead?"

"No one who works for me can die so easily!" Sui Xiong said lightly, "Although you are a bit stupid and your efficiency is a bit poor, a beating is enough. If you are hanged, I will Where to put your face?"

Wei Xia Ke came back to his senses and looked at Sui Xiong in surprise.

Sui Xiong shook his head, raised his hand, and white light fell on his body like raindrops. He saw that the injuries on his body improved rapidly. In just ten seconds, he had fully recovered. In addition to his clothes, there were still Apart from the blood stains from the injuries, there was no trace of the beating at all.

"You kid, you can't do even a small thing, how come you get hanged on the gallows?"

Wei Xia Ke was silent for a moment, laughed twice awkwardly, and explained the events of the day.

In fact, it was nothing more than the same old plot - Wei Shake was discovered while investigating intelligence, and then he was arrested. After torture and interrogation, although he said nothing, he was still judged as a spy and sentenced to hanging.

"Can a matter like the death penalty be decided so easily?" Sui Xiong asked with a frown.

"The Viscount admires military management. According to his rules, getting involved in many things is punishable by death."

Sui Xiong frowned again and asked, "Does anyone have any objections? Has no one advised him?"

"He is a soldier, and most of the officials under his command are also soldiers. They don't think there is anything wrong with this approach." Wei Shake said, "As for other people's opinions, why should he pay attention to them?"

Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked: "What about the principality? He has made the laws so harsh. Doesn't the grand duke, or his superior, the second son or the like, have any objections to this?"

"No matter how harsh the law is, it won't punish them, so why should they have any objections?"

"You are also a noble. You are a noble, but he can be executed so easily?" Sui Xiong asked.

Wei Xia Ke smiled bitterly: "I just come from a noble family, I don't have a title, and even my inheritance rights are very low. How can a person like me be considered a noble..."

"So, what if it's a serious noble? Will he execute him?" Sui Xiong asked again.

Wei Xia Ke thought for a while and said uncertainly: "I think he will still do it. For him, it is just to find an excuse. As a confidant of the Grand Duke's second son, he rarely does things like this. Concerned.”

"It's just the second son. Are you so crazy?"

"The Grand Duke has not decided who will succeed him. Judging from the current situation, the chances of the eldest son and the second son are almost equal."

"I really don't like politics, after all!" Sui Xiong sighed deeply, changed the subject and asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"

Wei Xia Ke thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I failed to complete the task you asked me to do, and I was saved by you. Now my life is entrusted to you. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it." do what."

"What if I don't want you to do anything?"

"Then I will go back to my hometown and work as a clerk or some other small official for my cousin. I believe Baron Shake will not have enough people like me to eat."

Sui Xiong smiled: "That would be too wasteful. How about this, you become the lord?"

W. Shak was stunned and said, "I don't plan to compete with my cousin for the title..."

Sui Xiong laughed: "I'm not talking about Baron Shak, but Viscount Samat."

W. Shak opened his mouth wide and stood there, not knowing what to say.

"Although it feels a bit like being appointed, I think it's much better for you to be the viscount than that Tuen Samat. Anyway, you also said that it's a question whether the damn Grand Duke's second son can take the throne. Even if he takes the throne, he may not really be able to do anything. In this case, isn't it good for you to be the viscount?"

W. Shak was silent for a while and asked: "Maybe with your ability, you can turn me into Viscount Samat, but I know almost nothing about his past, and I will be able to see the clues at once."

"Leave this to me." Sui Xiong said, Since I can let you be the Viscount, I can certainly help you solve this problem. The only question now is, are you willing to be the Viscount of Sarmat?"

"Of course I am willing..."

"That's all!" Sui Xiong interrupted Wei Shak and said with a smile, "Since you are willing, then follow me."

"Where to go?"

"To be the Viscount." Sui Xiong said and opened the door, "Oh, before that, let's have a meal first, eat and drink enough before setting off."

More than an hour later, Wei Shak sat blankly on the Viscount's throne made of rough wood, which was extremely solid but not comfortable, with a confused look on his face.

"How did I become a Viscount? This is simply..."

He muttered in his mouth, and his eyes lost focus a little.

In his eyes, a book was floating not far ahead. On the cover of the book was the appearance of an angry and ferocious young man, who was Viscount Sarmat.

Opening the book casually, all the big and small things about the Viscount's life were recorded in it.

"Do a good job." Sui Xiong's voice sounded in his ears, "Be a competent lord and don't mess around. I'm counting on you."
