Now that someone has been found who can temporarily impersonate Crick after his death, the focus of the original plan needs to be adjusted.
According to Crick's original plan, he should start to close the net now, gather those suitors with greedy and malicious hearts through several pre-planned actions, and then kill them all at once. Of course, there are several ways to kill them, from explosions to poisoning to evil sacrifices... All in all, once you start, you must do it cleanly and not miss anyone.
But now, things are different.
For Crick, the most important thing at the moment is to arrange for Romon to impersonate himself. As long as this matter is arranged, Keenland will have enough time to buffer in the future. And with Romon's help, he doesn't have to worry too much about his sister being bullied after his death. In this way, those overly drastic measures are of course no longer needed.
Making enemies is not a problem, but unless absolutely necessary, it is better not to make enemies with particularly powerful enemies.
He and Luo Meng discussed in detail for a period of time and finally finalized a preliminary plan.
Then, he summoned the most loyal and reliable senior officials in the territory and introduced Romon to everyone.
"This Mr. Romon is a master from the Church of the Mask of the Void." He said, "Not only is he very powerful, but he is also good at acting and deceiving people."
"After I die, he will dress up like me and use the excuse of 'seclusion and self-cultivation' to appear in public as little as possible, play my role and avoid being discovered about my death." He said calmly, completely ignoring his subordinates They looked horrified, "When the time comes, you have to help him play out the scene and delay it as long as possible. In addition, he will also serve as Anna's advisor - Anna, if you encounter any problems, you can contact him Come up with ideas.”
"You can let me help you if necessary." Romon saluted the slightly immature girl, "I am a good bard. As long as my opponent is not a legendary strongman, even if I can't win, At least I can escape unscathed."
This was said quite confidently, and the strength revealed was also eye-catching. But Anna didn't care about it at all at the moment, and just looked at Creek in shock and worry.
"Brother! You are really... really..." She choked and said several times, but she still couldn't express her terrifying guess.
Creek sighed and whispered, "Yes, I'm really going to die."
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire venue became solemn. Except for Baroness Amy Wei, who already knew everything, even the current Baroness Anna has just confirmed this matter.
Crick has always been in everyone's impression as an omnipotent and wise sage. Even if there are huge problems, he can still find a way to solve them. But today, he told everyone clearly that he was going to die.
Although he also found a way to help the territory tide over the difficulties and try to solve this last problem, he was going to die anyway.
The people who were able to attend this secret meeting were all loyal to the Keen Territory and Creek. At this moment, they were all in shock and grief, and no one could speak for a while.
Finally, it was Crick who broke the silence. He smiled and said, "What should everyone be shocked about? I was able to come back alive from the battlefield of 'The Day the Sun Goes Out'. It was already incredible. Even if Now that I’m dead, I’ve gained a few more years of life, so what’s there to be sad about?”
Everyone was silent.
"You guys are just like Tucson! You have to broaden your horizons!" Creek smiled and shook his head. "The continuation and growth of a family does not rely on one person, but on the inheritance from generation to generation. For example, Charles, you My father, Knight Divol, died on the battlefield of 'The Day the Sun Goes Out', but you inherited his title and territory and have managed it very well over the years - I remember your wife is pregnant, right?"
Charles Ous nodded. His wife was the second daughter of a small nobleman nearby, and the couple got along well. Originally, he had planned to ask the Baron to preside over the naming ceremony of the child after the child was born, but unfortunately that was no longer possible.
"Last time you mentioned this to me, you said you planned to wait for your child to be born and ask me to preside over the naming ceremony and be his godfather. I agreed at the time." Creek said with a smile, "Of course it can't be done now. But when the time comes, wouldn’t it be okay to let Anna be his godmother?”
Knight Charles was stunned for a moment, then understood what his master meant, and immediately looked at Anna: "Is it okay?"
Anna was still a little confused and didn't understand why her brother suddenly mentioned this matter, and looked at Creek blankly.
Creek sighed secretly and nodded with a smile. Only then did she feel relieved and agreed to the matter.
(Alas! My sister’s intelligence is only ten, which is really not high enough!)
Seeing his sister's mediocre performance, Creek was secretly worried. Even with the help of this group of loyal subordinates and the powerful figure of Romond Gelten as an advisor, my sister's talents are too ordinary and I'm afraid she won't be able to support the family business!
He sighed deeply and couldn't help but think of the marriage.
My younger sister has average abilities. She may not be able to keep the family business relying solely on her own abilities. It would be better to find a suitable husband for her while she is still alive. The couple can support each other and pass on the bloodline of the Keen family.
It's just... the husband must not only have a good character, but also not be too strong, and the backing behind him must not be too big. Otherwise, he may occupy the magpie's nest in the future and annex the Keen family...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Luo Meng looked at the worried look on his face, and then looked at Anna who was a little confused next to him. He suddenly understood something and said with a smile: "By the way, I have something else I want to mention - of course, this matter is just Reference, just reference.”
Everyone in the conference room turned to look at him. He didn’t have any stage fright at all. He smiled and said, “I am currently serving as the tutor for Stephen Carter, the fourth son of Earl Carter’s family in the Land of Thousand Springs. This time I brought him with me. He came to propose to Miss Anna."
Everyone was shocked and looked at him with a somewhat evil look.
Romon had gone through countless storms 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. To be honest, he is a bit young and ignorant. His relationship with his three brothers in the family is not good. He is not taken seriously by his father. I have watched him grow up. As for this kid, he has a good character. There is no need to worry that he will collude with outsiders to seize the Keen family's inheritance. Moreover, he is quite talented and may be able to achieve something in the future. "
"Of course, his biggest advantage is that he is good-looking." Romon smiled and looked at Anna, "Is Miss Anna interested in meeting him?"
Ana suddenly blushed and didn't know how to answer.
Creek coughed twice and asked, "Did you bring the projection crystal?"
To be honest, he was quite curious about "good-looking".
Romon nodded, took out a projection crystal, and cast a spell to project the image in it.
It was a little boy who was as handsome as a quiet girl, sitting at the desk and reading quietly. The image slowly changed, and the little boy grew up slowly. He learned swordsmanship, archery, and horse riding, but it was obvious that his level was not high. He is also learning spells, but his performance is not very good. But the innocence on his face has never dissipated, and his handsome appearance has not changed much. He is indeed a good-looking man.
After a while, the image disappeared. Romon put away the projection crystal and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone has seen it, right? I'm not bragging. Young Master Stephen's appearance is definitely first-rate!"
Creek smiled and turned to look at Anna.
Anna's face turned redder and her head hung down.
He suddenly understood something and couldn't help laughing.
"In this world, it really depends on appearance!" He laughed and said, "The young man is pretty, that's an advantage! As for character, we can try it next - everyone will help me check it. How about it?"
When they heard what he said, everyone immediately burst into laughter without understanding what he meant. Duchess Amy Wei even leaned close to Anna and whispered congratulations to her.
Then Anna's face turned even redder, and she was so shy that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
The originally gloomy conference room was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
