Banner of the Evil God

In the Thunder Principality, the movement of using common people as surnames first started in Keen County. After the new Baron Louis Keen took over the scepter from his mother Anna Keen, the first decree was to fully promote the use of common people as surnames.

This was naturally a benefit Anna deliberately left for her son. With her prestige, she could have done this with the Northwest Republic a long time ago. But she insisted on waiting for more than a year, repeatedly hinted at it many times, but never implemented it, which whetted the appetite of the people in the county.

In the end, she left this matter to her son, so that her son could win the love and support of the people in the county as soon as he came to power.

In fact, this was also what Creek taught her. At the beginning, Creek knew that his time was running out, so he gave her a cramming teaching, and taught his sister all the ways of governing the country and the means of conspiracy and intrigue that he knew, and even specially compiled a textbook.

Now the textbook is naturally passed on to Louis. Although Anna has almost taught him everything in it, its value itself is the most important. Back then, Crick passed the book to Anna, and now Anna passed the book to Louis, which seemed to be the secret inheritance of the Keane family.

When the people of the territory cheered for the order to give commoners surnames, Louis was sitting in the study of the lord's mansion reading a book.

He was reading the "Keane Family Government Guide" left by Crick.

Although he had heard and learned most of the things in this book from his mother, it always felt different to read the book written by his uncle.

It's like the same sentence "You must study hard". When it comes from the mouth of parents, many people will only think they are nagging, but if it comes from the mouth of their idol, then they will most likely be inspired.

The same sentence has completely different effects when said by different people.

To give another example, there is a famous saying in Chinese diplomacy, called "Don't say I didn't warn you." If this sentence comes from a military expert, it's actually nothing, but if it comes from the front page of the People's Daily... it will really shake the earth.

Because in the past years, every time the front page of the People's Daily said this, there was a war next.

Louis watched very carefully, nodding thoughtfully from time to time.

"Well... when I think about it carefully, it is indeed the truth! I thought too simply before."

"Ah! My mother never told me this before! It turns out that it can be like this..."

"This is good, I can try it, anyway, there is no loss..."

Not far behind him, the invisible Sui Xiong looked at him and smiled slightly.

(It seems that Louis is better and more reliable than I expected. I came here specially this time, wanting to support him or something... It seems that my thoughts were in vain.)

He did not intend to show off in front of others, and left directly.

However, he did not rush back, but went to the Viscount of Samat.

The former wanderer Wei Shak, now Viscount Thun Samat, is discussing the education of his eldest son with his subordinates.

"Sir, you are thinking too far ahead..." The advisory wizard of the territory, who was almost his chief of staff, said with a wry smile, "The young master is only seven months old, and you are thinking about whether to teach him magic or martial arts? Isn't this a bit too early?"

"I remember there is a saying that the reason why nobles are stronger than commoners is that the children of nobles win at the starting line." Wei Shak has already completely adapted to his new identity, and his words and deeds are exactly the same as those of Tuen Samat back then.

In other words, the people in Viscount Samat's territory have completely adapted to the differences between him and Tuen Samat, and have completely regarded him as the real Tuen Samat. Now even if Tuen, the unlucky guy, comes back, they will only feel that the Viscount's style of speaking and doing things has suddenly changed, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Wei Shak's eldest son was naturally born to the Viscountess. He is not a pervert like Tuen, and he is much more serious about matters between men and women. After securing his position, he first dismissed the "maidens" that Toon used for pleasure, and then officially arranged a marriage with the daughter of a nearby earl.

The earl's daughter was not beautiful, but she was quite honest. She had a good upbringing. Although she had no special talent, she did learn some medical knowledge. Since the medical god Akan Pasteur promoted medical education, many noble children who lacked talent would choose to study medicine. First, there is never too many doctors, and second, knowing medical skills can also avoid a lot of trouble.

The most direct benefit is that it is not easy to poison a person who studies medicine.

The earl's daughter's medical skills are not great, but they are better than nothing. At least for common headaches and fevers, she knows how to treat them. She can also identify 20 to 30 common medicinal materials and knows a lot of health knowledge. All these together are enough to support an aristocratic family.

Anyway... no one wants to poison Toon Samat.

Grand Duke Thunder is getting older and older, and his energy is getting weaker and weaker. His eldest son currently has an absolute advantage in the battle for succession, and the second son has almost been marginalized. If nothing unexpected happens, when the Grand Duke dies in a few years, it will most likely be the eldest son who will take his place.

Thun Samat was originally the best friend of the second son, but Wei Shak was not. After he became Viscount Samat, he has always paid attention to making friends with the future Grand Duke, and at the same time deliberately kept a distance from the former boss who had been banished to the cold palace.

This kind of thing is really shameless, but it is not so rare in the world of nobles. On the contrary, many people think that "Ah, Samat, this stubborn donkey has finally learned to use his brain, and we can communicate with him properly."

For this reason, the relationship between the Viscount of Samat and the surrounding territories has been good in the past two years. On the one hand, Wei Shak himself is a kind and easy-going person, and on the other hand, he has no intention of competing for interests.

In his opinion, as long as he can sit on the position of Viscount steadily until his death, and then pass it on to his children safely, he will have completed his historical mission. As for the rest, it is good to be able to do it, but it doesn't matter if you can't do it.

So when Sui Xiong appeared in front of him and asked him "How have you been these years", in addition to thanking him, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Since His Majesty the Void Mask helped him become a Viscount, he has not appeared again. Now he suddenly appears and is so polite, which always makes people a little worried.

Could it be that... His Majesty the Great Void Mask suddenly encountered some difficulties, or perhaps he thought of something important and gave me a task that I need to complete?
