"Sui Xiong" opened his eyes. He felt that his head hurt, as if a thousand Captain Teemo had taken turns to blow it up with mushrooms.
A lot of messy things were swirling in his mind, including bits and pieces of his life on earth, as well as many inexplicable things that had nothing to do with him.
Nobility, territory, gods, magic...
What is this
He wanted to sit up, but he felt weak all over. As soon as he raised his head, he fell on the pillow again, which made his headache worse.
But this had already alerted the maid waiting nearby. The pretty maid looked at him with surprise, then rushed out and shouted.
"Your Excellency the Baron wakes up! Your Excellency the Baron wakes up!"
The noise soon spread, and many people came in a hurry. Many of them were as surprised as the maids, and more than one of them knelt on the ground with tears on their faces when they saw that he had indeed woken up, praying and thanking a certain god.
But... He also noticed that although some people had smiles on their faces, there was vague surprise and gloominess in their eyes.
"Damn it! Did I travel through time? And it seems that the situation during time travel is a bit bad!"
As a young man who often reads online novels, he quickly understood his situation.
So, he used a "weak" voice to ask everyone to be quiet and stop making noise, saying that he needed to rest.
Those who were supposed to be his subordinates immediately obeyed his orders and retreated quietly. Only the maid stayed and continued to take care of him.
Sui Xiong closed his eyes and began to slowly collect his thoughts...
A few days later, Baron Keen, who had been ill for nearly two months and even the priest said he was dead, miraculously recovered.
After a careful examination, a priest who had previously diagnosed him was surprised to say that although little Crick was still a little weak, he was no longer seriously ill. As long as he practiced hard for a month or two, he would be able to fully recover.
"This must be a gift from the distant song (the God of Literature and Art)!" the priest said categorically. "There is absolutely nothing a mortal can do about Little Creek's previous situation. It can only be a gift from a certain great majesty. Only then can he recover!”
This incident soon became the talk of the upper class, and many nobles were surprised and very interested.
Does the God of Literature and Art still have this ability? Many people are a little skeptical.
You know, the Church of the God of Literature and Art has been squeezed out by the Church of the Noble God over the years, making it difficult for them to gain a foothold, so much so that they moved their headquarters to the Mask of the Void Amusement Park. If it weren't for the generosity of His Majesty the Great Jellyfish God, this subordinate god of the Lord of Mysteries would have gotten so far that he couldn't even save a large temple!
If the God of Literature and Art really has this ability, then why didn't He use it when His church was squeezed out by the Church of the God of Nobles
You know, some time ago, many nobles who believed in the God of Literature and Art died one after another...
Or maybe... is this the meaning of the Lord of Mysteries? His Majesty, who is particularly great even among the gods, finally decided to pull him out of his useless role as a god, or was he planning to make some counterattack against the aggressive noble lady (the God of Nobles)
Various speculations abounded. For a time, the undercurrent in the upper echelons of Thunder Principality was surging, and a huge storm was brewing.
But all this has nothing to do with "Crick Keane" for the time being.
Sui Xiong, who has become "Crick Keen", is slowly understanding and grasping the memories left to him by the previous owner of this body.
First of all, he would like to thank the original owner of this specific body, Creek Gene.
Compared to those who are purely flesh-clad, or whose souls have traveled through time without any information to draw from, his starting point is much better. Crick Keane basically left behind all his memories, as small as a piece of paper or a book, as large as the customs and customs of this world, down to the smallest detail, like a huge encyclopedia, they were all left to him.
This is an indescribable and precious legacy. It was by fully absorbing and utilizing this legacy that he was able to successfully take over the identity of Crick Keane without being discovered by anyone.
Secondly, he was a little troubled because he found that his situation was really not good - Baron Keen was one of the few believers of the God of Literature and Art among the upper echelons of the Principality of Thunder, and was also one of the main sponsors of the Church of the God of Literature and Art. There is even a small temple to the God of Literature and Art in his territory.
In the Principality of Thunder and even around the world, the Church of the God of Nobles is completely crowding out the Church of the God of Literature and Art. Many nobles who believe in the God of Literature and Art are dying in confusion. It is relatively normal for people like Crick to "die from illness". There are even people who choke to death after drinking water and people who get windy in brothels...
That god of nobility is too straightforward and shameless in his actions!
Finally, he would like to thank the One who allowed him to travel through time. Because he actually has a good cheat finger - similar to the system in the game, which not only allows him to quickly identify various things, but most importantly, allows him to see the attributes of various people around him.
For example, he himself, Crick Keen, has Strength 8, Constitution 9, Agility 10, Perception 12, Intelligence 14, Charisma 12, Reputation 400, his occupation is Lord Level 2, Scholar Level 4, and his current status is It is "the remaining poison has not been cleared up".
Well, the remaining poison has not been cleared up.
Poor Crick Keane didn't die of illness at all, he was poisoned!
This is thanks again to the powerful man who allowed him to travel through time and helped him get rid of the poison. Otherwise, he might have been poisoned just after crossing over.
For another example, his maid, Amy Wei, has strength eight, constitution twelve, agility twelve, perception ten, intelligence ten, charm twelve, reputation fifty, her occupation is maid level six, and her loyalty is one hundred.
Well, this is the most important attribute, loyalty!
His golden finger system is not like in some novels, which can increase his experience in issuing tasks, but in order to show the loyalty of his subordinates, he will once again praise the powerful man who allowed him to travel through time.
This "loyalty" is really important to him now!
Relying on the help of the system, he quickly checked all his subordinates. The vast majority of them are quite loyal, generally above 80. It can be seen that Creek Keane should be a good lord. What particularly reassures him is that Baron Keane’s butler Leighton, as well as James, the captain of the guard and the leader of the territorial knights, are also loyal to one hundred!
The maid, butler and captain of the guard are all die-hard fans, which is really great! I need thirty-two likes!
Among his subordinates, the one with the least loyalty is the chef.
zero.
Hello! Zero loyalty...that's too bad! Could it be that you poisoned Crick Keen to death? It must be you!
In addition, there are a few servants who have terrible loyalty, number two, three, five... To be precise, except for Amy Wei, the loyalty of his servants is generally terrible, not one of them reaching ten.
"Crick" almost cursed when he saw the loyalty of these people.
Damn it! This house has been penetrated too hard! This is just like the joke circulating on the Internet: "Secret Meeting of Military Reunification: A Kuomintang emerged among us"!
As for the other subordinates, the situation is not much better.
After carefully screening all his subordinates, "Crick" made up his mind.
This territory needs a big cleanup!
