No matter where one was, being cute and good looking could be a great advantages in many ways.

For example, there were different kinds of rare animals on earth. Many of them were as rare as pandas, but only cute species could enjoy the same treatment as the panda. As for others, such as the the Arctic wolf, the Cuban crocodile, and the dwarf rhinoceros, which were as rare as pandas, they were perhaps less in number, but they didn’t live lives as comfortable as pandas did.

The reason was that they were not good looking or cute at all!

When it came to marriage, the advantages of being cute and good looking were even more obvious. Before Sui Xiong’s space-travel, he had known a novelist who was quite rich, with a steady income and fame in both the illustration and comic industry and the animation industry. However, such a man was still single in his thirties. Even though he had managed to get a girlfriend, she had left him very quickly.

Why? Because he was ugly. He was tall, but very fat, making him look like a strong bear. What was worse, he had been born with a fierce face. Even though he tried to smile kindly, he still gave others the feeling of an evil guy. With his shining bald head and his white teeth, he looked like a terrorist who was ready to set off bombs in America...

At that time, this man had been in the same group as Sui Xiong in an online game, and the girl this man was chasing after was Sui Xiong’s friend. Considering that they were partners in game and this man had offered a lot of work opportunities to Sui Xiong, Sui Xiong tried to help the man by telling a lot of good stories about him to the girl. However, at last, the girl had said, “I know he’s not handsome, and I don’t mind, but if we get married and give birth to a daughter who looks like him, then what can I do?”

What can you do? How about taking her to Korea for plastic surgery?

Sui Xiong suggested that and was blacklisted by the girl.

Appearance had been so important on earth, a highly developed and open society, let alone in this world, with a relatively closed and backward society. Actually, being good looking was even more important here.

Stephen Carter was handsome enough, and he could even make a living with his handsome face to be a super star or something like that. Actually, Romon was also handsome, but he was older. A middle-aged man wasn’t suitable to become an idol. Anna knew none of the suitors. Thus, compared to the others, this super handsome young man, Stephen Carter, would be the best choice for her.

However, after several thoughts, Crick was worried. He talked to Amyveile privately. “This young man is even more beautiful than my sister. After getting married, won’t she feel stressed?”

Amyveile didn’t think so. In her opinion, the most important thing in marriage was stability first, and the second was loyalty. As for appearances and love, they didn’t matter as much.

However, Stephen Carter was, indeed, beautiful.

That night, Romon went back to the hotel and passed the Projection Crystal to Stephen.

“Here you are. It’s from Miss Anna,” he said carelessly.

Stephen accepted it without paying it special attention at first. Then he was shocked at what Romon had said.

“Sir, what on earth did you do today?”

“What did I do? Nothing special,” Romon answered carelessly again. “I went out this morning to visit the Archbishop of the Church of Void Mask, Mr Miramon, and he introduced me to Lord Crick. We talked about cooperating and your proposal. Lord Crick prefers that it be decided by the two of you, so I showed you to Miss Anna through the Projection Crystal. She seemed to like you, so Lord Crick asked her to record something on the Projection Crystal for you.”

“But...”

“Rest assured. I didn’t watch it. You can go back your room and watch it yourself.” Romon touched his student’s head and said, “However, you need to be mature. You’re going to get married, after all.”

Stephen blushed at once and couldn’t say a word.

Romon laughed loudly and asked Stephen to go back his room with the Projection Crystal. Romon went to his own room, took out the the doctrine of the Church of Void Mask that Bishop Miramon had presented just now, and studied it carefully.

Romon’s strength had reached a bottleneck at that time, and he had to be ready to work hard for the Legendary Realm. Theoretically, he could have been a Legendary Bard, or a Legendary Thief as he had originally planned, but now, he had changed his mind. He wanted to work hard in the direction of priesthood, aiming to become a legendary clergyman.

That wouldn’t be easy, but being a clergyman would make entering the Legendary Realm much easier. For that advantage only, it was worth a try.

Romon had always been a realistic person, which had made him lose a lot, but also gain a lot.

When he had been young, he had wanted to change himself and be a positive and hardworking man. But now that he was middle-aged, it was too late to make a change. There was nothing wrong with him maintaining what he had always been.

However, when he looked at the lively doctrine, full of enthusiasm and righteousness in its lines, and compared it to his almost withered heart, he couldn’t help laughing bitterly.

If he wanted to be a clergyman, he had to be a sincere follower of his God first. Romon was willing to die at His Majesty Void Mask’s order, but it was impossible for him to completely accept his overly naive and kind doctrine.

To be honest, His Majesty had a great vision. For example, he believed that the fundamental reason why there were so many disputes in the world was competition for means of production. Nations, countries, races... The emergence of these organizations was nothing more than forming alliances through various ties to grab means of production. And even within the same organizations, there was also competition for means of production... These remarks were something Romon had never heard, and he felt very surprised at that. Compared to his adventuring experience over the years, he felt that what His Majesty had said was quite reasonable. It seemed to uncover a veil in front of Romon and help him see the truth of the whole world more clearly.

But Romon didn’t agree with His Majesty’s solution to this problem. The Jellyfish God thought that the problem couldn’t be solved through competition. Instead of increasing the means of production, competition would consume a good deal of it. Therefore, the more competition there was, the greater the damage to social production. If there were successive years of wars, it would even develop to the point where people suffered from starvation and a worse quality of life. In order to avoid such mistakes, they had to promote progress, both in technology and management, to increase the efficiency of production or reduce the consumption of the means of production. In this way, either increasing the output or reducing the consumption could effectively reduce the competition for means of production.

That was reasonable, but Romon thought it was too idealistic. He felt that the vast majority of the people in this world, especially the powerful ones, were inclined to take possession of as many means of production as possible.

He didn’t know how to put it into a theory, but all the things he had seen over the years would help prove it.

His Majesty’s doctrine was good enough, and his idea was wonderful, but it was definitely impossible to achieve.

However, most of the Gods’ doctrines and concepts in this world weren’t feasible, so he didn’t care whether this Jellyfish God could achieve his doctrine or not. But if Romon didn’t agree with that idea, he couldn’t become a sincere follower of His Majesty Void Mask, and then he, naturally, wouldn’t become a clergyman.

This was an irreversible law that was set in stone. The core of the clergyman’s power came from his God. For the extent his power could reach, the key element was the degree of his agreement with his God.

Not all followers who highly agreed with their God’s doctrine could be high-level clergymen, but to be a high-level clergyman, the follower had to strongly agree with his God’s doctrine.

Romon couldn’t persuade himself to completely accept the doctrine of His Majesty Void Mask, so he couldn’t be a clergyman at all. He could only be an extensive follower of the God at most, one who understood and respected his God’s doctrine and acted under his lead, even though he didn’t agree with it completely.

In fact, Romon quite agreed with the doctrine of the God of Conspiracy, but that God was not only mean, but also cunning in other activities. Romon didn’t want to entrust his life to a God who had no credit and often did evil things, so he couldn’t exactly believe in the God of Conspiracy, either.

People like me probably can’t really believe in any God... Romon mocked himself, laid aside the doctrine of Church of Void Mask, and began to think about what to do next.

For a period of time to come, he would definitely play the role of Crick Keane. He was sure that he had the ability to do it well, at least to ensure that he wouldn’t be exposed by others. But was that enough to fulfill His Majesty’s orders?

Probably not.

Perhaps His Majesty had planned to lead the Keane Hill to stability and prosperity, and then it would be a base in the south for the development of the Church of Void Mask. If Romon wanted to accomplish this task well and earn His Majesty’s appreciation, he needed to assist Anna Keane in promoting the development of the Keane Hill.

But it wouldn’t be easy!

Romon had a headache when he thought about Anna’s mediocre performance that day.

As an assistant, the most fearful thing was working for mediocre monarchs. Generally speaking, it would be excellent to work for a talented monarch, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to work for a less capable monarch, since he would easily believe the assistant’s tricks. Monarchs who had mediocre abilities or were only slightly better than ordinary people were the most difficult to deal with. The tricks wouldn’t work on them, and it was impossible for them to come up with any good ideas, either. Since ancient times, many outstanding assistants had been tortured by such mediocre monarchs and eventually died of exhaustion.

Romon had never worked with Anna Keane, so he didn’t know whether this little girl was open to others’ suggestions or not. He just hoped that she was neither aggressive nor addicted to power; otherwise, things would be incredibly difficult in the future!

“Alas! How wonderful it would be if Young Master Stephen could be the Hill Lord!”

Stephen Carter wasn’t very talented. He probably belonged to the category of those who were slightly better than ordinary people but far from being called talented. However, he had a great advantage—he was gentle and willing to listen to others’ suggestions. If he met an aggressive assistant, he would take the authority easily, but if he met an honest assistant, his gentleness would be the perfect advantage.

On the earth, Liu Shan, the emperor of the Shuhan Dynasty, had been a person like this. The good stories about him and his assistant, Zhuge Liang, had been widespread on earth. They’d had such good teamwork that after entering the new era, a group of young historians had even tried to find some conspiracies in their cooperation on purpose. Of course, they had just wanted to become famous in the hype.

If Stephen became the Hill Lord, and Romon became his assistant, they would be the Liu Shan and Zhuge Liang of this world.

However, that was impossible.

Romon thought about it for a while, then shook his head and smiled. If that was so easy a task, why had His Majesty Void Mask asked him to do it? Correspondingly, if he could finish this difficult task satisfactorily, he would prove his ability!

However, there was still one important thing left to be done before that.

He took out the secret material he was given by Crick when he left. This material had introduced almost all the suitors there in detail.

What he had to do was study it carefully and find out a way to defeat them all at one time!
