Only tricks win people's hearts

The video of God's son Ji William really summoning the God of Light became a hot search on the magic network that day and spread to every corner of the Farris Continent.

All claim to have felt a shudder of theocracy in a soft light.

Although the divine power that can be felt through the video is minimal, it still makes many people feel small when looking up at the universe, because the weak divine power that can only be felt theoretically is as vast as the sea.

The coming of the gods this time not only turned the tide, but the believer base of the Guangming Church had already begun to decline, but also successfully pulled the Son of God out of the public opinion turmoil, at least giving fans who worshiped the Son of God more opportunities to retort.Before, they were so aggrieved that they didn't dare to say a word, for fear of incurring more troubles, but now they can finally regain their spirits - our Son of God speaks out for a slave, so there is nothing dark about it, the evidence is that the God of Light believes in him.

But in fact, the core problem has not been solved, that is, Hughes pretended to be his half-brother and studied in the Empire's No. [-] Magic Academy for a whole year as a nobleman.

The veteran nobles of the conservative faction have been constantly putting pressure on the upper and lower councils, trying to execute this daring and guilty half-blood slave.

There is even a particularly absurd statement that began to spread on the Internet: Some people think that Hughes not only stole his brother's noble status, but also stole his brother's excellent magical talent.Otherwise, given Hughes' background as a mixed-blood slave, how could he be better than most human nobles?

This kind of nonsense and very brainless remarks has attracted a lot of listeners who bought it.

I don't know if they have just connected to the Internet at home, or if the nine-year compulsory education has left them behind, they can still believe in such stupid remarks, and clamor for the thief to return what he stole.

How to pay it back?

What else?

Magic talent is not gold coins, it can be given back and forth.

[Where is Hughes' father?Let him stand up and clarify. 】Lu Zhi actively advises Gu Jingbai, he is actually not as omniscient as the public thinks, at least he does not know what happened on the land of Farris before he became the God of Light.The only thing he can do is to give Gu Jingbai an idea.

[This is the problem now, Hughes' father doesn't want to stand up. 】Although Gu Jingbai knew that the protagonist's attack would definitely help Hughes get out of trouble, but that method would not be of any help to whitewash Shenzi, he still had to rely on himself.

In order to prevent Lu Zhi from doing bad things with good intentions, Gu Jingbai briefly told Lu Zhi what happened to Hughes on the way back.

Hughes's past was ordinary and bloody, and in the original novel, he only occasionally recalled it, and mentioned it in bits and pieces. The main timeline was created by Gu Jingbai himself, and the author did not intend to take readers to Feel Hughes' miserable past.

Hughes' mother is a young and beautiful demon with low mana. Most of the demons became hopeless slaves because they were defeated in the battle of the gods 1000 years ago.She became a slave of Viscount Cavendish with a certain color when she was very young. Because she did not use contraception, she gave birth to more than one child for the Viscount, but because she was of mixed blood, only Hughes survived in the end.

Under the hard pleading of his mother, Hughes, as the only lucky child who survived, was still a slave of the Cavendish family in name, but he did not have tattoos on his face, and gained a relatively free childhood.

Viscount Cavendish's real wife passed away after only giving birth to an heir who had no magical talent at all.

Aristocrats and magicians are two closely related interest groups. Many of the so-called old aristocratic families started from the prosperity of a commoner ancestor because of magic, and passed down from generation to generation until they are today.There are also many declining nobles who are constantly marginalized because of the weak magic power of their descendants, until they are completely reduced to no titles to drop.

The Cavendish family is the latter.

It is said that the Cavendish family was also a generation of well-known descendants of Dharma saints, but for some reason, the descendants of Dharma saints are not as good as one generation after another.The title dropped from duke to marquis, until the generation of Hughes' father, his magic power was already very low, and he was very reluctant to get mixed up with a starless magician.Because he had no money to manage, the territory was directly reduced to the smallest piece of the legal limit, and he himself was downgraded to a noble, becoming an unknown viscount.

Viscount Cavendish, who is in a vicious circle, has no money after being messed up like this.His only heir is inferior to him, has no magical talent at all, and can't even become a magic apprentice, so the only future waiting for him is to be a baron.

Legally, the baron does not need to allocate a territory.

In other words, the entire territory of Cavendish will soon have nothing to do with the Cavendish family.

Viscount Cavendish was so poor that all he had left was this small piece of territory and his unknown dignity. He absolutely could not allow the Cavendish family to be destroyed by his son's generation.

Therefore, he has been working hard to maintain the image of the heir to the outside world, saying that he is weak and sick, and is not suitable for seeing guests.In fact, he tried his best to study how to make an ordinary person have magic behind his back, and he was almost obsessed, but in the end it was nothing, and he got nothing except making his family poorer.

And his heir has reached the maximum age for magic testing—if he doesn't test, he will lose the chance to go to the higher department of the magic academy, and even the magic academy in the remote countryside will not accept him again.

At this critical juncture, Hughes' mother passed away. It is said that she died of overwork and had no money to see a doctor.

Hughes was distraught, but it seemed that he had broken through some seal, showing an incredible magic riot.Viscount Cavendish was ecstatic, and regardless of the heir's objection, he arranged for Hughes to pretend to be his brother and go for a magic test.

Originally, Viscount Cavendish just wanted Hughes to join a magic academy in a small place, and then steal the dragon and turn the dragon into a phoenix, so that his real heir could go to school with a fake magic talent.No one expected that Hughes's talent was amazing. He was discovered by a seven-star magician who happened to pass by and recommended Hughes to enroll in the Empire's No. [-] Magic Academy.The seven-star magician is already a high-level magician, with a detached status, and ordinary people dare not play tricks under this nose.

Therefore, Viscount Cavendish gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, letting Hughes make the mistake and continue pretending to be his brother, going to the imperial capital to regain the glory of the Cavendish family.

It stands to reason that under such circumstances, Viscount Cavendish would definitely kill him and stand by his son, and would not recognize Hughes as a slave.

But, the problem is not that there is a conspiracy theory on the Internet that advocates that Hughes stole the magic talent. Viscount Cavendish, who has never seen anything in the world and is always whimsical, believes it under the constant advocacy of the heir. this argument.It's not that he thinks that Hughes is really capable of stealing someone's talent, but that he hopes to take this opportunity to transfer Hughes' talent to his heir.

In this way, the two of them really returned to their positions. The son of the nobleman learned magic, and the son of the slave continued to be a slave. They were all doing things that suited their identities. Perfect.

I have to say that Hughes' native family is really disgusting.

Viscount Cavendish and his heir are ugly but beautiful, but Hughes just can't get rid of them because they still hold the remains of Hughes' mother.

In the original book, His Royal Highness Andrew's solution was to force the door and threaten Viscount Cavendish to admit that he had married Hughes' mother.Although Hughes is not the son of his first wife, he is the son of his step-wife.Because the original partner's son has no magic, he is ashamed to see others, and the low-key younger brother doesn't want to make his elder brother sad, so he tolerates everywhere, but in the end it caused this unnecessary oolong.

As for the slave status of Hughes' mother, she had already been pardoned by Queen Margarita.It was only after the decree was signed that a coup d'état occurred, which resulted in it not being sent, and it took many years before it was sent to the Hughes mother and son.

In the original book, His Royal Highness Andrew succeeded at the moment when Hughes was about to be executed, and finally saved Hughes.

But it also left an inevitable handle: can the pardon signed by the Queen Mother Margarita be counted?Not to mention that the Queen Mother Margarita herself is already an asshole, but anyone with a discerning eye can see the hasty reason. This is obviously a patch made specially for Hughes, and it is simply untenable. .Can the royal family do whatever they want?

At this juncture of continuously restricting imperial power and theocracy, both the royal family and the Church of Light have suffered considerable impact.

Gu Jingbai has already seen the result, so it is naturally impossible to make this last choice out of desperation.

He has other plans, but only needs the cooperation of the God of Light.

[Benevolent Lu Zhishen, please help me. 】Gu Jingbai is not polite at all when he uses his legal husband, it's not for nothing.

But his husband raised his eyebrows: [Then what benefits can I get? ] Lu Zhi started to take Joe, because he realized that he had a rare commodity to live in.Now it's a seller's market, he has to at least, uh, let Shenzi compromise enough to let him hold hands, then he will be willing to help, otherwise it's out of the question!He will not budge!

[Then what benefits do you want? 】Gu Jingbai really wanted to tell Lu Zhi that you are not a god of light at all, more like an evil god.

[I want your soul! 】Lu Xieshen laughed ferociously, knowing the principle of asking for a lot of money and paying back the money without hesitation.

【...My soul itself belongs to you. 】Gu Jingbai had to remind Lu Zhi that it is okay to be an evil god, but at least one must read the rules of the Kingdom of God in advance.Ordinary people believe in any god, and their souls will return to the heaven of that god after death.This is also the reason why beliefs are so prevalent on the continent of Falris. Everyone always wants to find a home for themselves after death.

It's a bit like fighting for the last piece of cemetery. Who wouldn't want to have a prosperous shop with excellent Fengshui that can shade children and grandchildren? Well, what about a prosperous grave?

sloppy.

While panicking to death, Lu Zhi tried his best to stabilize his voice and said: [Then I want us to become closer. 】

Gu Jingbai: We are already a legal couple who have passed the certificate, how close do you want to be?

Lu Zhi was proud of himself, hey, the son of God is still too young, he was immediately stopped by him, his son of God must be very scared now, Kaka: [My bogey William...]

[Jingbai, Gu Jingbai, please call me that, this is a nickname that only belongs to us. 】Gu Jingbai thought he wouldn't be jealous, but at the moment Lu Zhi called out "My Ji William", he still wanted Lu Zhi to call him by his name a little bit.It's a bit risky, but Gu Jingbai just can't control his possessive desire to take the lead.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi didn't remember who he was at all, because he only cared about cheering in the Kingdom of God.When she was happy enough, she came back and said to Gu Jingbai: [Then I also allow you to have the honor of calling me by my real name. 】

Um?Gu Jingbai was taken aback, isn't your name Lu Zhi, what other real name do you have, Lushan Yunwu?

[My name is Xueman. 】

Gu Jingbai: "..."

【You can call me Xuemanshen. 】 Lu Zhi thoughtfully added.

Gu Jingbai: ... Are you sure you know what you are talking about?Great cat god.
