Being cute is justice, and being beautiful is an advantage. This kind of thing is the same in any world.

For example, there are many rare animals on earth, and many of them are as rare as giant pandas. But those who can enjoy the treatment of giant pandas are almost without exception cute... Hey, what are the Arctic wolves in Cuba? Crocodiles and dwarf rhinoceros all died with their eyes open. They were obviously about the same level of rarity. Maybe their own population was smaller, but why were their social statuses completely different

Just look at your face and you will know. Who told you that you can’t be cute even if you are ugly

And if we turn this topic to marriage, it will be even more obvious. Before Brother Xiong traveled through time, he met a novelist. He had a rich net worth, a stable income, and was quite famous in society, both in the illustration and animation circles. Celebrity number one. But this is a man who looks like a golden son-in-law at first glance, but he didn’t have a girlfriend until he was in his thirties. He finally got one and was dumped.

why is that? It's not just that he's ugly, he's tall, big, fat, and strong like a bear. The saddest thing is that he is born with a vicious face. Even when he smiles, his eyes always look evil, and his shiny bald head and neat appearance make him look ugly. His white teeth look like he’s traveling to the United States and planting a few bombs...

He and Brother Xiong were in a gaming guild back then, and the girl who was chasing after him who drew illustrations also knew Brother Xiong. Xiong Ge believes that everyone often downloads dungeons and buys equipment together. This boss has taken care of his illustration business more than once. He has actually said a lot of good things for him and worked hard to assist him. However, in the end, the girl said: "I don't really mind his appearance, but what if we get married and have a daughter who looks like him?"

what to do? How about going to Korea for plastic surgery

Brother Xiong suggested this, and then the girl blocked him.

On earth, in such a developed and open society, appearance is so important. In this world, in a relatively closed and backward society, appearance is even more important.

Stephen Carter's appearance is indeed not mentioned. He can really rely on his face to make a living. He can reach the level of a superstar with his appearance. In fact, Romon himself is also considered to be at this level, but he is old and is not suitable for middle-aged men. Be an idol. For Anna, she doesn't know all the suitors, so by comparison, of course this super handsome guy is the best.

It's just... After thinking about it for a while, Creek felt a little worried. He murmured to Amy Wei in private: "This guy is more beautiful than my sister. Will my sister be under psychological pressure if he gets married in the future?"

Amy Wei doesn't care. In her opinion, the most important things in a marriage are stability and loyalty. Looks and feelings are not that important.

But... that young master Stephen is indeed a little too beautiful...

That night, Romon returned to the hotel and handed a projection crystal to Stephen.

"Here, this belongs to Miss Anna." He said lightly.

Stephen took the crystal casually and didn't care at first, but when he heard his words, he was stunned.

"Teacher...what did you do today?"

"What are you doing? Nothing." Romon said nonchalantly. "When I went out in the morning, I first went to visit Lord Milomon, the high priest of the Church of the Mask of the Void. Then, under his introduction, I visited Lord Creek, and then we talked. Regarding cooperation and marriage. Lord Crick said that it is better for you young people to decide on your own, so I showed Miss Anna your projection crystal. Then Miss Anna seemed to like you quite a lot, Lord Crick. Ask her to also record a projection crystal for you."

"But… "

"Don't worry, I didn't peek. You can go back to the room and watch quietly by yourself." Luo Meng smiled and touched the student's head, "But you also have to learn to be more cautious. After all, you are about to get married. It’s human.”

Stephen immediately blushed and was speechless.

Romon laughed loudly and asked Stephen to leave with the projection crystal. He returned to the room, took out the teachings of the Mask of the Void Church given by Priest Milomon, and studied them carefully.

His strength has now reached a bottleneck, and he will be ready to hit the legendary realm if he goes up. In theory, of course he could become a legendary bard or a legendary thief, and that was his original plan. But now he has changed his mind and plans to start as a priest or priest and try to become a legendary cleric.

This is certainly not easy, but it is easiest for a priest to enter the legendary realm. This advantage alone makes it worth his efforts.

Luo Meng has always been a very realistic person, which made him lose a lot, but he also gained a lot.

When he was young, he also thought about changing himself and becoming a positive and enthusiastic young man. But now that he has reached middle age, it is too late to change. There is nothing wrong with just leaving it like this.

Just... looking at the teachings that overflowed with enthusiasm and righteousness from the lines, full of liveliness and enthusiasm, and then comparing it with his withered heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To be a priest, you must first be a devout believer. Romon asked himself that he was willing to die in order to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Mask of the Void, but he really couldn't do it to make him agree with His Majesty the Mask of the Void's too innocent and kind teachings.

To be honest, His Majesty Void Mask is still very discerning. For example, he believes that the reason why there are many disputes in this world ultimately comes from the competition for the means of production. The emergence of nations, countries, races...these organizations are nothing more than forming an alliance with various ties to compete for the means of production. And even within the same organization, there is also a struggle for the means of production... These statements made Luo Meng feel eye-opening. Compared with his experience of wandering over the years, he felt that it was very reasonable. With a layer of gauze, I can see the truth of the whole world more clearly.

But regarding the method of resolving the dispute, His Majesty Void Mask's explanation made Romon very dissatisfied. The jellyfish god believes that competition cannot solve the problem. It will not only fail to increase the means of production, but will consume them. Therefore, the more wars there are, the greater the damage to social production will be. If wars continue for consecutive years, it will even develop to the point where people are starving and starving. In order to avoid this mistake, we must promote progress. Whether it is technological progress or management progress, it can increase the efficiency of production or reduce the consumption of production materials. In this way, either increased output or reduced consumption can effectively reduce competition for production means.

This statement is not unreasonable, but Luo Meng thinks it is too idealistic. He felt that the vast majority of people in the world, especially those with power, would tend to snatch other people's things and keep them as their own.

He doesn't know how to explain it in general, but the various facts he has seen over the years all prove this point.

The teachings of His Majesty the Mask of the Void are very good and the ideal is beautiful, but it is destined to be unattainable.

… Of course, the teachings and ideas of most gods in the world cannot be realized, and they don’t care about one more big jellyfish. But if Romon does not agree with this concept, he will not be able to become a devout believer in His Majesty the Mask of the Void. He will not be able to become a devout believer, and naturally he will not be able to become a priest.

This is an irreversible iron law. The core of the power of the priests comes from God, and the most critical limit to the extent of their power is the degree of agreement between them and God.

Not every believer who can deeply conform to the god's philosophy can become a high-level priest, but a high-level priest must be a believer who deeply conforms to the god's philosophy.

Romon could not make himself conform to the ideals of His Majesty the Mask of the Void, so he could not become a priest at all. He could only be a pan-believer who understood God's teachings, respected it, and acted according to it, even if he did not denied.

In fact, he is quite in line with the philosophy of the God of Conspiracy. However, the God of Conspiracy is not only stingy, but also has a very problematic style of doing things. Romon really didn't want to entrust his life to a god who had little credibility and often did evil things, so he could never truly believe in the god of conspiracy.

(People like me probably won’t really believe in anyone...)

Romon thought mockingly to himself, put down the teachings of Mask of the Void, and turned to think about what to do next.

In the future, I will definitely play the role of "Crick Keane". He asked himself if he could play this role well, at least to ensure that no outsiders would notice. But is this just a good completion of His Majesty the Mask of the Void's orders

It probably doesn't count.

The intention of His Majesty the Masked Void is probably to make Keen Territory stable and prosperous, and to serve as the base for the development of the Church of the Masked Void in the south. If I want to complete this task well and gain His Majesty's appreciation, then I must assist Anna Keen and lead Keen to develop.

But... this is not easy!

Thinking of the mediocre performance of the little girl he saw during the day, he had a headache.

As a minister, the most fearful thing is to meet those masters with mediocre abilities. A master with excellent abilities is naturally very good, while a master with poor abilities can be deceived, which is not necessarily difficult to do. Only those whose abilities are mediocre or slightly better than ordinary people are the most difficult to deal with. Deception methods will not work for them, but it is impossible to expect them to come up with good methods on their own. Since ancient times, countless outstanding people have been exhausted mentally and physically by such mediocre masters, and in the end they even died of exhaustion.

Romon had never gotten along with Anna Keen, and it was unclear whether this little girl was someone who was willing to listen to advice. He just hopes that the lord who will succeed him does not have a strong character and does not have too strong desire for power. Otherwise, things will be really difficult to handle!

"Alas! How great it would be if Master Stephen were the lord!"

Stephen Carter's talent is actually not outstanding. He is probably a little higher than mediocre, but still a little bit behind talent. But he has a big advantage, his personality - he has a softer personality and is willing to listen to people's opinions. If you encounter ambitious people, you will easily be sidelined and have power stolen. But for a minister who loyally assists him, it is really the best thing.

In the history of the earth, Liu Chan, the late leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, was such a figure, and the good story of his relationship with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has been widely circulated, so much so that after the new era, a group of "conscientious young historians" jumped out and beat around the bush. Find some conspiracy theories to hype up your reputation.

If Stephen becomes the lord and Luo Meng becomes the advisor, it might be an alien version of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.

However... this is impossible.

Luo Meng thought for a moment, shook his head, and smiled.

If things were easy to handle, why would His Majesty the Mask of the Void leave it to him

Even if it's difficult, you still have to do it well, so that you can show your ability!

… However, before that, there is one big thing to do.

He took out a secret information that Lord Crick gave him when he was leaving. This information covers almost all the people from all walks of life who came to propose marriage, and it is quite detailed.

What he has to do is to study this information carefully and try to catch as many of these people as possible!
