It is really not easy to discover the talent of Orian.
Sui Xiong and Lei completely turned a blind eye to the Gerten family and Gerten City, and had no idea where to find the right person. If you simply wander around looking for a needle in a haystack, it will be more difficult to find a future film queen than it would be for a talent scout on earth to squat at the gate of a high school to observe female students after school.
Of course Lei understood this, so when Sui Xiong said he wanted to find a suitable viscount heir, he asked with some suspicion: "You said you want to find suitable talents, but where should you look for them?"
Having been an adventurer and robber for many years, he really didn't think finding someone was an easy task.
It would be okay if there was a fixed goal, but now I am looking for someone who has no exact goal at all, and I have no clue at all.
Should I go to a tavern in this city, buy the most expensive wine first, and then ask the bartender for information
This method could probably find the most skilled person in the city, or the richest person, or the most beautiful person, but he felt that the bartender might not know who was the most suitable person to be a viscount in the city.
Even if there is an answer, it will probably be Romon or Steele...
"You can't back down before you start! Let me think of a solution." Sui Xiong also realized that his plan was a bit unreliable. But after he said the words naturally, he had to work hard to realize them, so he had to rack his brains and search for useful methods from the information given by the God of Redemption.
After searching like this, he really found a way.
It was a ridiculously advanced spell called "Observe the Future."
This spell is not a regular spell, but a "legendary spell" that goes beyond the routine. Its principle is somewhat complicated, and its effect is also quite complicated - by presetting conditions, then simulating what will happen under these conditions, and observing.
The key to this spell lies in the life personality gap between the observer and the object being observed. The greater the personality gap, the lower the observation cost; the smaller the personality gap, the higher the observation cost will naturally be. As for wanting to pry into a higher existence than yourself, it's better to go to sleep and don't daydream like this.
What Sui Xiong is looking for today is a mortal, and he himself is a god, so it must not cost too much... right...
They first left Gerten City and found an open and remote place. Then Sui Xiong cast a spell to block the surrounding scene to avoid being seen. Only then did he begin to chant complicated mantras, turning the vast magic power into invisible clues and connecting it to infinite time.
In front of them, the air trembled, shaking and twisting, as if something was gestating in it. An even more frightening aura slowly rose up, making the daring Leidu feel uneasy.
After a while, Sui Xiong finished reciting the lengthy incantation. He used his own divine power as a catalyst to activate the spell.
With a crisp sound, an invisible piece of glass seemed to shatter in front of them, the air shook and shook, and a blurry picture appeared.
That was Gelten City, but it was different from now. The Gelten City in the picture was extremely prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, and it seemed that the pedestrians were in good spirits, which showed that the lord was indeed running the country well.
Located in the center of the picture is the Viscount's Mansion. From their perspective, it seems to be a pair of invisible eyes floating in the air, staring at the Viscount's Mansion.
Sui Xiong was shocked when he felt that the magic power of his incarnation was being consumed like running water. But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continuously send the magic power from the main body over, while letting the main body expand as much as possible and rise to the sky, absorbing as much magic power as possible to make up for the deficit.
Even so, he felt huge pressure and could not maintain this spell for a long time.
Fortunately, he is a god, and there is a huge gap in personality between him and the target, so his consumption is relatively low. If those legendary mages were to cast this spell, they would not only need to hold a huge ceremony, but also spend a lot of magic power - even so, they would only be able to see a few blurry scenes at most.
Watching a live broadcast like this, no matter how low the picture quality is, is something only a god can do.
So he hurriedly activated the spell, and the invisible eye moved quickly, flying directly into the Viscount's mansion and towards the Government Affairs Office.
The Viscount's mansion is not big, and the Invisible Eye arrived at its destination in a short time. I saw a woman wearing glasses and looking very calm sitting on the viscount's throne. She frowned and said something to an official next to her.
"It's her!" Sui Xiong cheered and hurriedly canceled the spell. The strange sight in front of him disappeared immediately like a bubble bursting without a trace.
Only a stunned former lone thief was left standing there blankly, holding an exhausted jellyfish god like a hat.
"Is this okay?!" Lei couldn't help but mutter, "Just designate a target and then use a spell to find it? This is too easy!"
Sui Xiong didn't bother to explain to this ignorant guy - easy? Didn't you see that he was almost lying down from exhaustion
"Are gods so powerful? I always feel something is wrong... If it were so easy to find someone, wouldn't I have been found long ago? If others don't tell me, the cruel hunter has already sent down the oracle, and he will definitely not be stingy with a little magic power, right? … Moreover, there are many powerful people who have offended the 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 puzzled he became, and he couldn't help but ask Sui Xiong for details, but Sui Xiong himself didn't know much about it, and the more he explained, the more confused he became. In the end, he had to put aside this confusion for the time being and talk about it later.
During this period of questioning and explanation, Sui Xiong finally regained his energy. So he urged Lei to return to the city and buy pen and paper. I saw him grabbing the pen with his tentacles and sketching on the paper. After a while, he drew a rather vivid sketch of a character. It's exactly what the woman wearing glasses looks like.
"Then we will go find her?" Lei looked at the painting and silently admired the god for his ability. Even though he was just a jellyfish, he was actually good at painting!
"Of course! This is the 'most suitable talent to lead the Geerten Territory' that I found using magic." Sui Xiong said proudly.
"But I have a question." Lei said, "The picture we just saw is the future, right?"
"It's not the future, but the future scenario under the premise that the Gerten Land will be led by the talents most suitable to lead it." Sui Xiong corrected.
Lei nodded and asked: "So, the lord we saw is actually her future appearance?"
Sui Xiong was stunned. He had never thought of this.
"So Your Majesty, what does this person who is most suitable to lead the Gelteng Territory look like now?"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but become distressed. He pondered for a long time and drew several portraits on several pieces of paper.
These portraits are based on his own painting knowledge, he guessed the appearance of the woman at different ages. Around ten years old, around fifteen years old, around twenty years old, plus the original portrait of about thirty years old, this is complete.
Now that they had this set of portraits, they went straight to the tavern in Gelten City. After paying a few gold coins, they found their target from an information dealer who was said to "know everyone, men, women, and children in the entire Gelten City." .
"Isn't this little Orian? She is a distant relative of the Viscount and lives in the library." The old information dealer really didn't brag. He only looked at the portrait of about ten years old and recognized the target. "But she is already fourteen-er, fifteen years old this year. This is a portrait of her from a few years ago, and it is quite well preserved."
"Living in the library? Is she the librarian of the library?" Lei asked.
"How is that possible! She is the administrator responsible for borrowing books." The information dealer said with a smile, "But she also sells books, which she copied herself. Unfortunately, there are no particularly useful books, they are just idle books of little value. "
After asking for the location of the library, Lei hurriedly set off and found his target in just a moment.
"Are you sure this little girl is a suitable heir to the Viscount?" Looking at the bespectacled girl sitting quietly reading behind the administrator's desk at the entrance to the library, Lei couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be because she is wearing The fur shawl looks like jellyfish tentacles, right?”
Sui Xiong was so angry that he hit him on the head with his tentacle: "You can question my talent, but you can't question my personality! How could I randomly choose people for such ridiculous reasons!"
"Where did the jellyfish get the personality..." Lei touched his head. This blow was not serious at all. In terms of the game, it only deducted 1 health point at most. For him who had a conservative estimate of more than 250 health points, it was simply... Drizzle, I don’t buy it at all.
Complaints are complaints, and business cannot be delayed. Lei checked his appearance briefly to make sure that he would not scare the child, then slowly walked forward and spoke to the girl.
"Hello, I am an adventurer who is very interested in knowledge. How do I go about borrowing books here?" he asked.
The girl put down the book, looked at him carefully for a while, and then shook her head.
"You are not a person interested in knowledge," she said.
The lie was revealed, which made Lei feel a little embarrassed. He laughed twice, looked around, made a mysterious look, and whispered: "Actually, I accidentally discovered a treasure map, and I want to go to the library to look for it. Clues…”
"Please don't think I'm stupid just because I'm young." The girl adjusted her glasses and there seemed to be a cold light in her eyes. "This is a place of knowledge that preserves the wisdom of the past. If you want to perform comedy, I suggest you go to the tavern."
Lei was choked for several seconds, then sighed and said honestly: "My boss thinks you have a lot of potential and wants you to be Viscount Gerten - I really didn't lie this time."
The girl who had always been calm and calm finally showed a little panic: "Viscount? How can I be a viscount? I'm just a side branch... It's impossible."
Lei's eyes suddenly lit up: "But you have really thought about this, right!"
Without waiting for the girl to deny, he continued with a barrage of words: "Don't try to deny it. You are not good at lying. It is absolutely impossible to deceive an old man like me! Don't talk about side issues. In the Eagle Kingdom in the center of the continent, the previous king was born in a foreign country. If you can see through my lies, you can see that I am indeed talented. Talented people should have ambitions, there is nothing wrong with this!"
He wanted to continue persuading and take down the girl in one go, but suddenly received a warning from Sui Xiong. Without thinking, he jumped up and jumped at least ten steps in one go.
Almost at the same time as he jumped away, an old man wearing old clothes, holding an old broom, with gray hair and a stooped body, who looked very down and out, suddenly appeared where he was standing before, as if he had always been here. of.
Lei looked at the old man from a distance. Although he could not feel any pressure or danger from the old man, a deep sense of oppression rose from the bottom of his heart. This sense of oppression was like an invisible hand holding his heart and lungs, making him feel like it was difficult to even breathe.
"The legendary strong one?" He slowly revealed the old man's identity while taking a deep breath to calm his emotions.
