Chapter 94
Since I have found someone who can temporarily pretend to be Crick after his death, the original plan must be adjusted.
According to Crick's original plan, we should start to close the net now. Through several pre-designed actions, we gathered the suitors with greed and vicious hearts, and then killed them all at once. Of course, several sets of ways to kill them were designed, from explosion to poisoning to evil sacrifice... In short, since we started, we must do it clean and not let anyone go.
But now, the situation is different.
For Crick, the most important thing at the moment is to arrange for Romon to pretend to be his own affairs. As long as this matter is arranged, Keene will have enough time to buffer in the future. Moreover, with Romon's assistance, he will not have to worry too much about his sister being bullied after death. In this way, those too intense methods are of course not needed.
Making enemies is not a problem, but unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to make enemies with particularly powerful enemies.
He and Romon discussed in detail for a while and finally finalized the plan.
Then he gathered the most loyal and reliable senior officials in the territory and introduced Romon to everyone.
"This Mr. Romon is a master from the Void Mask Church," he said, "not only is it powerful, but also good at acting and deceiving people."
"When I die, he will dress up like me, use the excuse of "secret cultivation" to try to appear in front of everyone as little as possible, play my role, and avoid being discovered by others." He said calmly, completely ignoring the horror of his subordinates, "You must help him perform this scene well and delay it as long as possible. In addition, he will also serve as Anna's consultant, Anna. If you encounter any difficulties, you can find him to come up with an idea."
"If necessary, please let me help you." Romon saluted the girl who was still young, "I am a good bard. As long as my opponent is not a legendary strongman, even if I can't win, I can at least escape unscathed."
This was quite confident and the strength revealed was also eye-catching. But Anna didn't care about this at this moment, just looked at Crick in shock and worry.
"Brother! You really...really..." She choked and said several times, but she still couldn't tell the terrifying guess.
Crick sighed and whispered, "Yes, I'm really going to die."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue became solemn. Except for Baroness Amy Wei, who had already known everything, even the current Baron Anna had just confirmed this.
Crick has always been an omnipotent sage who is wise and wise in the world. Even if there are huge problems, he can find a way to solve them. But today, he clearly told everyone that he is about to die.
Although he also found a way to help the territory overcome difficulties and try to solve the final problem, no matter what, he was going to die.
Those who were able to attend this secret meeting were all loyal to Keane and Creek. At this moment, they were all in shock and grief, and no one could speak for a while.
Finally, Crick broke the silence. He smiled and said, "What's there to be shocking for everyone? It was already incredible that I was able to come back alive from the battlefield of the 'Sun' Day'. Even if I die now, I will earn a few more years of life. What's there to be sad?"
Everyone was speechless.
"You guys, it's just Tusen! You have to open your horizons!" Crick smiled and shook his head, "It's not up to a certain family to continue and grow, but to inherit from generation to generation. For example, Charles, your father, Knight Devoll, died on the battlefield of "The Sun's Day of Extinguishing", but you inherited his title and territory, and have been well managed over the years - I remember your wife is pregnant, right?"
Charles Os nodded. His wife was the second daughter of a little noble nearby, and the couple got along well. Originally, he planned to ask the Baron to preside over the naming ceremony after the child was born, but unfortunately it is not possible now.
"Last time you mentioned this to me, saying that you planned to wait for your child to be born and let me preside over the naming ceremony and be his godfather. I agreed at that time." Crick smiled and said, "Of course it won't work now, but at that time, I can't let Anna be his godmother."
The Charles Knight was stunned for a moment, then understood the Lord's meaning, and immediately looked at Anna: "Is that OK?"
Anna was still a little confused. She didn't understand why her brother suddenly mentioned this and looked at Crick blankly.
Crick sighed in his heart and nodded with a smile. Only then did she feel relieved and agree to this matter.
(Alas! My sister has only ten intelligences, so she is not very high enough!)
Seeing her sister's mediocre performance, Crick was secretly worried. Even with these loyal subordinates assisting and a powerful figure named Romon Gerten as an advisor, her sister's talent is too ordinary, I'm afraid she can't support her family business!
He sighed deeply, and couldn't help but think of the marriage.
My sister is average in ability, and relying solely on her own, she may not be able to maintain her family business. It is better to find a suitable husband for her while she is still alive, and support her with the couple to pass on the blood of the Keen family.
But... this husband not only has a good character, but also can't be too strong, and his backer cannot be too big. Otherwise, he will be afraid that he will occupy the nest in the future and annex the Keen family in reverse...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Romon looked at his worried look on his face, then looked at Anna who was a little confused next to him, and immediately understood a little, and said with a smile: "By the way, I have another thing I want to mention - of course, this matter is just a reference, just a reference."
Everyone in the conference room turned to look at him. He was not at all nervous. He smiled and said, "I am currently the tutor of Stephen Carter, the fourth son of the Count Carter family in the Thousand Springs Country. This time I brought him to propose to Miss Anna."
Everyone was shocked, and the eyes of looking at him suddenly became a little unkind.
Romon didn't know how many storms he had experienced in his life. He didn't care about this little thing at all. He said with a smile: "Master Stephen is only fifteen years old this year. To be honest, he is a little young and ignorant. He has a bad relationship with the three brothers in the family, and he is not very valued by his father. I watched him grow up since I was a child. This child has a good character, so there is no need to worry that he will collude with outsiders to seize the foundation of the Keen family. Moreover, he is quite talented and may be able to make achievements in the future."
"Of course, his biggest advantage is that he looks very good." Romon looked at Anna with a smile, "Is Miss Anna interested in meeting him?"
Anna suddenly blushed and didn't know how to answer.
Crick coughed twice and asked, "Did you bring the projection crystal?"
To be honest, he was also quite curious about "looking very well".
Romon nodded, took out a projection crystal, cast a spell to project the image out.
It was a little boy as handsome as a quiet girl, sitting at the desk reading quietly. The image gradually changed, and the little boy grew up slowly. He learned swordsmanship, archery, and horse riding, but he could see that his level was not high. He was also learning spells, but his performance was not very good. But the innocent aura on his face never dissipated, and his handsome appearance still did not change much. He was indeed a very beautiful man.
After a while, the image disappeared. Romon put away the projection crystal and said to everyone with a smile: "Did everyone see it? This is not my bragging. Master Stephen's appearance is definitely first-class!"
Crick smiled and turned to look at Anna.
Anna's face turned redder and her head drooped.
He immediately understood a little and couldn't help laughing.
"This world really depends on your face!" He laughed and said, "The young man is beautiful, and this is his advantage! As for character, we can try it next - everyone will also help me check it, how about it?"
Hearing him say this, everyone didn't understand what he meant and immediately burst into laughter. Duchess Amy Wei even came to Anna and whispered to her.
So Anna's face turned redder, and she was so shy that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and drill in.
The originally bleak conference room suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
