Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 58

To a person that had no pressure, time flew really fast. Unknowingly, it had already been a week. On the

contrary, to those who had to shoulder a lot of pressure, time crept by slowly. One day was like a year.

Because of Lei’s sudden appearance, Luo Meng didn’t dare to kill Stelle who was a thorn in his heart

preventing him from seizing the inheritance right. Stelle actually incited Lei to kill Luo Meng, which

would probably help solve all of their problems. However, Lei didn’t have regards for her, and

she also didn’t have a solution to deal with him.

Therefore, this week was miserably hard for both sides. Every day, they bickered with each other in frigid

irony and scorching satire and they were always in an intense atmosphere. They were like two taut bow

strings that could easily break at any time.

Sui Xiong and Lei couldn’t be compared to this. They had the chance to enjoy some laughs. They had also conveniently found out Luo Meng’s identity;. a swindler from the East Blue Moon

Kingdom. He managed to get involved in a big business transaction, offend two mighty people, and

reluctantly flee with two partners.

Along the way, they had been through so many sufferings. In the end, they had traveled half the

mainland to arrive at Gerton’s collar. Here, Luo Meng by luck deceived a fat goat and said that he

was the illegitimate child of the Lord at that time. The most important thing was that the Lord

was suffering from a serious illness and was about to die. As long as Luo Meng could prove to be the Lord’s illegitimate child, he would become an heir on his way to becoming a viscount!

This dangerous wealth made Luo Meng think several times before deciding to clench his

teeth and give it a try!

No need to get into details about the process, but in short, thanks to his witty scheme and some luck, Luo

Meng finally succeeded in faking his identity as the Lord’s illegitimate child.This ended up kicking Stelle, who was the original heir

for the Gerton’s collar, out of the power core. He would only need to pass the Noble Federation’s

investigation door to become the genuine viscount of the Gerton’s collar.

Although he had been a swindler for half of his life, he had been through so much. He

could not help but be nervous as he saw success was right in front of him. No matter how hard he tried to

calm down, he could not help but be impatient.

Of course, the key to his problems were the wretched slut in front of him who should have died a long

time ago!

"Ha ha, why doesn’t that wretch die?!’ Luo Meng was l outraged inside." Sui Xiong laughed at Lei’s

words. "Right now, at times, he will be very angry inside but still keep the gentle smile on his face. So

amusing!"

"Highness, looks like you are gloating a little..."

"Laugh at the pain of others? Get yourself a mirror and see yourself first."

The mirror reflected the picture in which the corners of Lei’s mouth twitched.

In fact, he really didn’t want to laugh. But through the spirit tunnel, Sui Xiong showed Lei the screaming

inner feelings of Luo Meng with his face struggling to keep a graceful look on it. When

those two looked at the projection, they couldn’t constrain their laughter.

Luo Meng was not the only one in a hurry, but Stelle was in such urgency that she

couldn’t smile either. This wanton woman was under the pressure of solving this problem. Every day to

her was like four or five years time. Everyone usually heard terrible sounds coming from her room.

After, she would walk out with a flushed face and suspicious scent.

Sometimes, among the intense and messy sounds, she would stagger out. There was one time that

everyone heard the Devil Beast’s howl. And when she stepped out, there was fluid flowing

down her legs to the ground.

Seeing her disappointed face, the people in the viscount residence and even Lei and Sui

Xiong sympathetically shook their heads, deeply understanding the meaning of the saying ‘rotten wood

could not be carved’.

Sui Xiong naturally expressed all kinds of unavoidable exclamations like "People in this city really know

how to play!" Lei also retorted very seriously, telling him that not many noblemen in this city could

play like this...

"Really?" Sui Xiong showed his suspicions.

"Even though you don’t believe, you can see others’ reactions. For example, Luo Meng could also be

considered broad-minded. As you can see, a moment ago, he turned silly and didn’t care about being

courteous!"

Sui Xiong recalled his memory, confirming that Luo Meng was indeed dumbstruck a moment ago when

he saw Stelle walking out of her room with a long streak of fluid running down her leg. He rubbed his eyes but still couldn’t believe what he

saw. And the trusted aide beside him pinched Sui Xiong’s thighs as he doubted if he was asleep or awake.

Therefore, he believed this.

Stelle, this woman is also really... unrestrained. She still has a standard, a level, and a realm!

"Lei, I’ve suddenly got this idea: If I establish a God Kingdom, why don’t we invite Stelle to play in our

God Kingdom’s promotional video?" He was full of excitement saying, "This woman would absolutely

wipe out the whole market and cause a great storm! I guess with just a video, she will attract at least several

thousand believers; several thousands of believers!"

Lei attentively thought for a while. On one side, he sighed. On the other side, he nodded his head.

He had to admit that in comparison to all kinds of oral promises or glamorous perspectives, a beautiful woman indeed had the ability to attract people. At least make it more attractive to men,

except for eunuchs.

"But... If this is the case, don’t you become the Evil God who uses beauty to deceive and bully others?"

Lei knew that this Jellyfish God’s moral value system was different from human’s, but he still could not

help but advise, "Only Evil Gods and the Devil would do something like that!"

"As long as you don’t agree with their belief, trust me, when you die you can become beautiful to cheat

others." Sui Xiong nonchalantly said, "Moreover, I feel that if this Stelle really becomes a resident in the

God Kingdom and has an eternal life, things will only get more serious. Until that time, if she could get

what she wishes, she might saute me and the entire residents of the God Kingdom..."

Lei sighed deeply, feeling his liver hurt a bit.

Lei had originally thought he had been somewhat moved and thus had considered following Sui Xiong’s religion.

In short, he had been thinking of staying with this delightful Jellyfish God. Going to the opposite party’s

God Kingdom when he died was not bad either. But now, he felt that he should reconsider a little bit more.

Although more than fifty percent this jellyfish would not do crazy things. what if he really does that?

Perhaps, I, a man who no one wants to marry, becomes an associate with that wretch, a super licentious

woman, who doesn’t even let a Devil Beast get away.

... I will be harassed; will definitely be harassed!

Who would want to go to such kind of God Kingdom!

As the crucial moment was getting closer, not only Luo Meng and Stelle were tense, but Olivia was also not

an exception.

Although she knew the possibility to win was really high or she could say she had secured the victory,

Olivia could not help but feel anxious when she thought about exposing Luo Meng’s disguise in front of

noblemen and representatives from everywhere and at the same time use her wisdom and momentum to

overwhelm Stelle as well as get support from noblemen and representatives.

To prepare for this, she buried herself in books about human resource management,

locked herself up in the house, thought meticulously about all the cases that could happen, and then made a

number of contingency plans. Every day, she practiced and analyzed to make sure that her performance

was perfect when the time came and that she would succeed in one go!

"Until that time comes, I am afraid that you also have to fight. You’d better be more careful." Sui Xiong

reminded her, "Although I will give you some defense spells, magic is not omnipotent. Not to mention

shaman, even Gods will be unluckily killed too."

"I’ll be more careful, moreover..." Olivia tilted her head and looked at Sui Xiong, who was floating in the

middle of the sky jabbering on and on. She suddenly bounced up. There was no sign of her kick

being sent out. The kick was retrieved before it hit the target and the body in the air spun one round then

lightly landed on the ground. There wasn’t even any dust coming up from that.

"... I am not a weak little girl."

Sui Xiong was startled, looking at this girl. He didn’t expect this little girl, whom he thought of highly,

would also know how to fight!

Lei laughed out loud and applauded, "Good job! We should scare this giant jellyfish who always

looks down on humans!"

Sui Xiong really wasn’t angry either and waved his tentacles, applauding.

"Awesome! Awesome! Your skill is already on the same level of an adventurer..."

"She was probably not to that level yet because her strength was a little weak. She could only fight with a

human, but her beating would only be like a tickle to a Devil Beast. Nonetheless, beating a human is enough."

Lei smilingly said, "I can see that she may have a glorious fight with Luo Meng. The glory

of the Gerton family that is about to be tarnished by a swindler and a rotten woman, is about to be saved by a

calm, gentle girl, who could not stand but angrily take action, using her fist to protect the family’s

glory. This kind of girl absolutely fits with the noble esthetic conception!"

"Then, let’s decide!" Sui Xiong nodded, "Still, is her fighting experience enough? Don’t be

bewildered like a bicycle losing its chain at a crucial moment."

"She is my student." Lovell slowly said, "To nurture her courage, I have brought her along to fight

against a giant dragon."

Lei’s eyes popped out. He didn’t know what to say.

This delicate, fragile (appearing like this in his eyes), calm, and gentle little girl could fight a giant

dragon?!

Impossible....

A moment later, he foolishly asked, "Did she win?"

This question was a little stupid. Lovell looked at him like he was an idiot, "How can she have that

ability?! If she could beat the giant dragon, why does she still need our support?"

Lei laughed, embarrassed, but at last, picked up a little bit of his confidence. After following Sui Xiong to

cross the Ash Rock Mountain Range, they had met a giant dragon. At that time, he was really

excited to challenge the giant dragon. As a result, he suffered a bitter defeat. If it wasn’t for Sui Xiong’s

rescue, he might have become dragon manure.

"What about the dragon?" He asked again.

"It was just to help Olivia practice a little bit and nurture her courage. After we finished fighting, we left right

away." Lovell said, "However, judging from its stirred-up appearance, it might move its house."

"The entire body of the giant dragon is a treasure! How can you waste it!" Lei couldn’t help but

loudly say, "Too wasteful!"

"I see that your entire body is all treasure as well. Isn’t it wasteful?!" Sui Xiong coldly groaned, "Don’t

forget, the thing on your neck may be a Legendary item!"

"That is my head!"

"That thing on your neck could be used as the head of a legendary item, so why don’t you exchange that

for money?"

"Doesn’t having no head mean I am already dead!"

"Nonsense! Who told you that you will die if you no longer have a head?" Sui Xiong laughed out loud.

Dozens of his tentacles intertwined together, creating crackling sounds like the sounds from the joints of fingers, "Give it to me, I can help you perform a small surgery to turn you into a headless

knight... I guarantee it will succeed, moreover the surgery fee is free."

Lei, of course, didn’t want to turn into a headless knight so he immediately surrendered.

A day passed by and the day that everyone was waiting for finally arrived.

In front of the viscount residence in Gerton City, a high platform was built. Many noblemen and

representatives flooded in and prepared to choose the heir of Gerton City, following the ancient

tradition.

Luo Meng and Stelle had already sat in their seats. According to the tradition, they would

have to receive questions from the noblemen and commoners, showing their prestige and talent to win

the viscount position.

Under the high platform, many people from the viscount’s collar had already gathered. They had

changed into splendid clothes to prepare for welcoming the new viscount.

Among the crowd, Olivia was wearing an old fur coat with her teacher as a companion and looked up to the high

platform anxiously.

"Nervous?" Lovell asked.

"A little bit." Olivia tapped her feet nervously. She was humming the folk song that her mother had taught

her inside but couldn’t calm herself down, "I am more stirred up."

"Being stirred up is a good thing." Lovell nodded, "Wait a bit and enjoy a little of your peaceful life."

"Soon, you will have everyone’s attention!"

The girl nodded and continued looking up to the high platform.

Lei, who sat on the corner above, noticed her gaze as the sunlight gleamed down upon her.

It was like... Someone was smiling at her.
