Chapter 55
It is really not easy to discover the talent of Orian.
Sui Xiong and Lei were completely disgusted with the Gerteng family and Gerteng City, and they didn't know where to find the right person. If they were just relying on finding a needle in a haystack, they would be more difficult than star scouts on Earth squatting at the high school gate to observe female students after school, so that they would find a future queen of film.
Lei certainly understood this, so when Sui Xiong said he wanted to find a suitable heir to the viscount himself, he asked with some doubts: "You said you were looking for a suitable talent, but where should you go to find it?"
He has been an adventurer and a robber for many years, but he really doesn't think it's easy to find someone.
It would be fine if there was a fixed goal, but now we are looking for an object with no exact goal at all, and we have no clue at all.
Do you want to go to a tavern in this city, buy the most expensive wine first, and then ask the bartender for information?
This method can probably find the most capable person in the city, the richest person, or the most beautiful person, but he thinks that the bartender may not know who is the most suitable person in this city to be a viscount.
Even if there is an answer, it will probably be Romon or Stile...
"You can't retreat before you start doing it! I'll think of a solution." Sui Xiong also realized that his plan was a bit unreliable. But he naturally said it and had to work hard to realize it, so he had to dig his mind and search for useful solutions from the information given by the God of Redemption.
After searching this, he really found a solution.
It was a somewhat outrageously advanced spell called "Observing the Future".
This spell is not a conventional spell, but a "legendary spell" beyond the conventional. Its principles are somewhat complex and its effects are quite complex - through preset conditions, then simulate the situations that will occur under this condition and observe.
The key to this spell is the difference in life position between the observer and the object to be observed. The larger the position gap, the lower the observation consumption; the smaller the position gap, the higher the observation consumption. As for those who want to peek at an existence higher than your own, it is better to take a shower and go to bed. Don’t have such daydreaming.
Today, Sui Xiong is looking for a mortal, and he himself is a god, so he must not be too much...
They first left Gerteng City and found an empty and remote place. Then Sui Xiong cast spells to block the surrounding scenes to avoid being seen. Then they began to sing complex spells, turning the vast magic into invisible clues, and connecting them with endless time.
In front of them, the air trembled, shaking and twisting constantly, as if something was nurturing in it. A more terrifying aura slowly rose up, making the bold thunder uneasy.
After a while, Sui Xiong finished reciting the lengthy spell. He used his divine power as a catalyst to inspire the spell.
With a crisp sound, there seemed to be an invisible piece of glass in front of them, shaking and shaking in the air, and a blurry picture appeared.
It was Gerteng City, but unlike now, Gerteng City in the picture is extremely prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, and it seems that the pedestrians are in good spirits, which shows that the lord is indeed good at governing the country.
Located in the center of the picture is the Viscount Mansion. From their perspective, it seems to have become an invisible pair of eyes floating in the air, staring at the Viscount Mansion.
Sui Xiong felt that the magic power of his incarnation was consumed like flowing water, and was shocked. But at this moment, the arrow was on the string, so he had to grit his teeth and send the magic power over the body continuously, while allowing the body to expand as much as possible, ascend to the sky, absorb as much magic power as possible, and replenish the deficit.
Even so, he felt that the pressure was huge and it was impossible to maintain this spell for a long time.
Fortunately, he is a god, and the person he is looking for is huge and the consumption is relatively low. If the legendary mages are allowed to cast this spell, it will not only require a huge ceremony, but also a huge amount of magic power. Even so, they can only see a few blurry scenes at most.
Watching live broadcasts like him, no matter how low the picture quality is, only gods can do it.
So he hurriedly activated the spell, moved at an invisible speed, flew directly into the Viscount's mansion, and flew towards the Government Affairs Office.
The Viscount's mansion was not big, and the invisible eye arrived at the destination in a short while. I saw a woman wearing glasses and looking calm on the Viscount's throne. She frowned and said something to an official next to her.
"It's her!" Sui Xiong cheered and hurriedly cancelled the spell. The strange scene in front of him disappeared immediately like a bubble bursting, without a trace.
Only a stunned thief was left, standing there blankly like a hat, holding a exhausted jellyfish god.
"It's OK?" Lei couldn't help but murmured, "I can just specify a target and then use spells to find it? This is too easy!"
Sui Xiong was too lazy to explain to this inexperienced guy - it's easy? Are you almost exhausted if you didn't see him?
"Is the gods so powerful? I always feel something is wrong... If it was so easy to find someone, then I should have been found long ago? If others don't say it, the cruel hunters have already brought down the oracle, so they will definitely not be stingy with magic... And there are many powerful people who have offended gods throughout the ages, and I have never heard of a few who were found directly by casting spells..."
The more he thought about it, the more he became more puzzled, and he couldn't help asking Sui Xiong what was going on, but Sui Xiong himself might not understand much. The more he explained, the more he became more confused. In the end, he had to put aside this doubt for the time being and talk about it later.
Within this time of inquiry and explanation, Sui Xiong finally regained his energy. So he urged Lei to return to the city and buy paper and pen. He grabbed the pen with his tentacles and outlined it on the paper. After a while, he drew a very vivid sketch of a character. It was the woman wearing glasses.
"Then will we go to find her?" Lei looked at the painting and silently praised the gods for being capable. They were obviously just a jellyfish, but they were still good at painting!
"Of course! This is the 'the most suitable talent for leading Geerteng' I found with spells." Sui Xiong said proudly.
"But I have a question to ask," said Lei, "The picture we saw just now is the future scene, right?"
"It is not the future, but the future scene under the premise that the Gerten leader is the most suitable person to lead it." Sui Xiong corrected it.
Lei nodded and asked again, "So, the lord we see is actually what she looks like in the future?"
Sui Xiong was stunned. He had never thought about this.
"So your majesty, what does this talent who is most suitable for leading Gerten's leadership look now?"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but feel distressed. He pondered for a long time and drew several portraits on several sheets of paper.
These portraits are the appearance of the woman of different ages that he inferred based on his own painting knowledge. She was about ten years old, about fifteen years old, and twenty years old, plus the original portrait of about thirty years old, so this is considered complete.
Since they had this portrait, they went straight to the tavern in Gerteng City. After paying a few gold coins, they found their target from an intelligence dealer who was said to have "all men, women, young and old in Gerteng City knew each other."
"Isn't this little Orion, she is a distant relative of the Viscount and lives in the library." The already aged intelligence dealer did not brag. He only looked at the portrait of about ten years old and recognized the target. "But she is fourteen-er, fifteen years old this year. This is her portrait a few years ago, and it is well preserved."
"Living in a library? Is she the director of the library?" Lei asked.
"How is it possible! She is just an administrator in charge of book registration." The intelligence dealer said with a smile, "but she also sells books, and she copied them herself. Unfortunately, there are no particularly useful books, they are all idle books that are worthless."
After asking about the location of the library, Lei hurriedly set out and found the target in just a short while.
"Are you sure this little girl is the right heir to the viscount?" Looking at the girl who was quietly sitting behind the administrator's desk at the entrance of the library's library, Lei couldn't help but doubt, "It's because she was wearing a hair shawl and looked like a jellyfish tentacle, right?"
Sui Xiong was so angry that he swung his tentacles and knocked them on his head: "You can question my talents, but you can't question my personality! How could I choose people randomly for those ridiculous reasons!"
"Where does the jellyfish have the personality..." Lei touched his head, and this was not heavy. In terms of the game, he only deducted 1 health point at most. For him, who is conservatively estimated to have more than 250 health points, it is simply a drizzle and he doesn't buy it at all.
No matter how much he complains, the business cannot be delayed. Lei checked his appearance a little and confirmed that he would not scare the child. He walked forward slowly and talked to the girl.
"Hello, I am an adventurer who is very interested in knowledge. How to handle the procedures for borrowing books here?" he asked.
The girl put down the book, read him carefully for a while, and then shook her head.
"You are not someone interested in knowledge," she said.
The lie was exposed, which made Lei a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly, looked around and looked mysteriously, and whispered: "Actually, I accidentally found a treasure map and wanted to go to the library to find clues..."
"Please don't think I'm stupid when I'm young." The girl held her glasses and seemed to have a flash of cold light in her eyes. "This is a place to preserve the wisdom of our predecessors. If you want to perform comedy, I suggest you go to the tavern."
Lei was choked for several seconds before sighing and said honestly: "My boss thinks you have a promising future and wants you to be Viscount Gerteng - I really didn't lie this time."
The girl who had been calm and composed finally showed a little panic: "Vissue? How can I be a viscount? I am just a side branch... impossible."
Lei's eyes lit up suddenly: "But you did think about this, right!"
Without waiting for the girl to deny it, he continued to say like a cannon: "Don't try to deny it. You are not good at lying. It is absolutely impossible to deceive me like an old man! Don't talk about the problem of side branches. The Eagle Kingdom located in the center of the mainland, the previous kings were side branches. If you can see through my lies, it can be seen that talented people are indeed ambitions. What's wrong with this!"
He wanted to continue persuasion and took the girl down in one go. He suddenly received a warning from Sui Xiong. Without thinking, he jumped up and jumped out at least ten steps in one go.
Almost as he jumped away, an old man wearing old clothes, holding an old broom, gray hair and hunched body, suddenly appeared at the place where he was standing before, as if he had been here all the time.
Lei looked at the old man from afar. Although he could not feel any pressure or danger from the old man, a deep sense of oppression arose from his heart. This sense of oppression was like an invisible hand holding his heart and lungs, making him feel that he was having difficulty breathing.
