Chapter 86
Sui Xiong knew about Crick's situation.
With his ability, although the problems that Crick encountered were a bit tricky, they were not unsolvable. However, after careful consideration, he gave up the idea of treating Crick.
As his incarnation, Crick is responsible for the task of experiencing life and understanding the world from the perspective of aristocratic lords. In the process of completing this task, of course, there will be various ups and downs, joys, angers, sorrows, and joys. The final death is also inevitable.
In Creek's life, Sui Xiong can only be a bystander. If he intervenes too much, it will definitely affect Creek's attitude and ideas. Not to mention the distance, just because of his cooperation with the Void Mask Church, Crick's ideas will definitely have changed greatly. Sui Xiong didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but he did not want to see further changes.
This is cruel, but the result of the "investigation" is to be used to determine the major policies of a god and a church. Sui Xiong could only apologize for the "time traveler" who was confused and ignorant.
There is a famous saying that I don’t know who said: The progress of medicine often depends on countless sacrifices. Behind other progress, the same is true. Sui Xiong is unwilling to see too many sacrifices, so what he can do is sacrifice himself, so that the "time traveler Sui Xiong" can observe and experience the world from all perspectives of society, so as to gain a perfect and comprehensive understanding of the world and find the correct way to promote the progress of the world.
He was sorry to Crick, but since he wanted to understand the world and promote it to improve himself, he should of course be himself who should bear and pay.
Every dead "time traveler" is actually Sui Xiong himself, himself under certain conditions. It is nothing more than that at this moment of "time travel", different possibilities are followed, different processes are produced and different results are obtained.
These are their own choices, following their own principles and conscience. In other words, suppose that Sui Xiong on Earth did not possess a large jellyfish on the sea after traveling through time, but became an ordinary mortal in this world, and the ending was probably like that.
So... there is nothing to complain about...
Sui Xiong, who had just woken up, looked at Creek, who had just woken up from afar and returned to his wheelchair. He sighed softly.
He could see that Crick was actually really dying.
However, this guy plans to play big things before he dies, for his relatives, friends, and territory, and to clear some obstacles as much as possible so that he can die more with confidence.
All performances are just for this goal.
"It's true that I am worthy of myself!" Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing, "This kind of a little cunning style would probably be the same if I were."
He thought about it and decided to help a little in secret.
So soon, a rumor spread in the Principality of Thunder.
"Thunder Pearl" former lord Crick Keane, who was seriously ill, was unable to even stand up and often fainted. Seeing that he had not had enough time, he might die of illness at any time.
The news spread and many people with ulterior motives had thoughts.
Although Crick has been married for several years, he has never given birth to children probably because he was injured on the battlefield on the "Sun Extinguished Day". Currently, Keen's heirs are his sister, the current Baron Keen, Anna Keen.
Miss Anna is fourteen years old. In terms of appearance, she can only be considered beautiful and charming. But she has the most prosperous and wealthy baron in the entire Thunder Principality as a dowry. More than one big businessman has evaluated it. Although Keen is only a baron, the speed of wealth accumulation is definitely no less than any viscount's gang!
With such a dowry, even the sow can turn into a beauty. Even if it is discriminatory to the pig, I think that there can be some small flaws in terms of wealth. Moreover, Miss Anna has at least a well-known facial features. Compared with some noble ladies who look so good that people doubt whether her mother is a private relationship with ogres or goblins, she is simply a stunning beauty. Such noble ladies have a lot of people to marry for the dowry, let alone Anna!
Therefore, many young talents have already set off in a hurry, hoping to impress Miss Anna's heart and get both personal wealth.
Of course, if both are really unavailable, it is not impossible to have money...
"Oh? Do they think so?" After listening to Rena's report, Crick did not mean to be angry, but instead smiled slightly and seemed very calm.
Lena nodded: "These news was said by reading lip words and I saw them drinking and chatting with them."
Crick chuckled twice, shook his head, and said with regret: "I originally hoped that there were some really outstanding people among these people. If there were really young people with excellent talents and moral character, they could match Anna's temper. I didn't mind giving this gift that might be the most expensive dowry in the present."
"What a pity!"
He sighed deeply, looking very disappointed.
"Why would I go and ask again, maybe it's a little good..." Lena said tentatively.
Crick nodded: "Then please give me more snacks in this matter. I really have limited energy now and I can't take care of everything."
Rena nodded and hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, how is your body...?"
Crick smiled: "What else can you do? It's really serious, but it's still too early to say that you're about to die."
"So...what are the rumors...?" Reina frowned and was a little worried. "I noticed that these rumors appeared almost at the same time. There may be a powerful figure with great energy behind them. There are probably some powerful people behind them who have taken action!"
Creek's eyes lit up suddenly, and even his voice became heavier: "Have you found any clues?"
He knew that since Rena mentioned this, she would definitely not be aimless. She must have found some information before she would report it to herself.
Reina sighed and said, "I looked it up carefully and found that the rumors were all from some people with medium or lower identities. But after checking up, I couldn't find them. I even secretly caught a person who spread the rumors and used some bad means to force them to ask, but he was also confused and asked after asking, and the final conclusion was that 'he thought it through while drinking'..."
Crick sneered: "When you drink and think about it, you can figure it out? It's not surprising that one or two people do this. But if many people do this together... what method do you think it might be?"
"I feel like the effect of 'memory weaving'." Reina said with some concern, "But... 'memory weaving' is a profound spell that many advanced mages can't use. Can they cast this spell on a large scale? Is it said that behind it is a strong man who has been in the legendary realm for many years, or a large force that can organize a group of advanced mages?"
The more she spoke, the more worried she became, the more her brows became tighter and tighter, and even cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Although she has good strength, Rena is not the kind of hero who has experienced many battles and emerged from the pile of dead people. Once she encounters huge pressure, she will feel a little overwhelmed.
Since the battle of "The Sun's Extinguishing", veteran adventurers have either died in battle or retreated one after another. Now the number and average levels of adventurers in the entire main plane have dropped significantly. For example, most of the new generations like Lena are somewhat lacking in experience - not lacking in adventure experience, but lacking in experience in dealing with difficulties.
This is also easy to understand. Most of the truly experienced and courageous people went to participate in that battle. As a result, they either died in battle or retreated from the world with disheartened hearts. Even the seniors who everyone thought they would live to live in the world, who retired. Now the rest, such as Rena, were like those who were left before the war, would say "almost aroused the fire"...
For example, in this situation, you can see that. If Raver gets the news, he will only smile coldly and say a few words like "It's a bit troublesome to kill many people." They will never be as nervous as Lena.
(After all, I'm still young!)
Looking at Lena's nervous look, Creek sighed secretly in his heart.
Maybe Lena will grow up in a few years, but she may not see that day. I hope that by then, she can become her sister's reliable helper and help her deal with those open and secret arrows...
"Those rumors are good for me." He said confidently, "I was going to create the illusion that I was so sick that I was about to die, and I did a lot of performances for this. Although I don't know who was spreading rumors behind me, since he is so powerful that you can't find more clues, then forget it."
"How can I forget this?"
Crick sighed and asked, "Rena, if the world is about to perish today, do you have a way to stop it?"
Rena was stunned and shook her head.
"Yes, when things exceed our abilities too much, it makes no sense to worry too much." Crick smiled, "Whether it is mobilizing a group of high-level mages who know how to 'memory weaving' or being able to cast this spell many times in a short period of time, it is so powerful that it is far beyond our ability to cope with. If such a big guy really wants to deal with us, may we have a way?"
Reina thought for a while and shook her head in frustration.
"Think about it from another perspective, if you are such a big boss, will it take so much effort to deal with a mere baron?"
"Of course there is no need, just kill it." Lena answered immediately, and then suddenly realized.
"Haha, that's that simple." Crick laughed, "So, don't worry anymore. If someone doesn't come directly, the target is probably not us."
After Rena left with peace of mind, he put away his smile, but his eyes showed a bit of cunning.
