Gu Qingshan walked among the crowd, and everything around him gradually disappeared.
The banquet hall and ballroom are gone.
A small sword emitting blue flames appeared in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the infinite sea of stars surrounded him and issued thousands of tiny whispers:
"The strong are beginning to sense that the end of the plague is coming."
"What you have done is worthy of the gods opening a time passage for you."
"Let us take you to see how dead the young baron is in the history of the Holy Spirit World."
"That was the beginning of the destruction of the world by evil spirits."
The small blue sword dispersed into a sheet of light and shadow, wrapping Gu Qingshan inside.
…
Lanlu County.
Viscount Warren's Mansion.
A handsome young man was dancing with the viscount's daughter.
Gu Qingshan was floating in the air, watching him.
"Is this the real Rhodes in history?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Countless voices sounded at the same time: "Yes, he became the Convict, and then met the evil ghost in the Viscount's Mansion."
Gu Qingshan nodded silently.
It turns out that my incarnation as this boy is the deep meaning of the will of the world.
below.
When the dance ended, the evil spirit approached the boy and wanted to offer him a gift.
"Forget it, for the sake of your sincerity, I will accept your gift," the young man said.
The scene changes quickly.
The viscount appeared and made the boy a baron.
The dance became more lively, and the young man was immersed in it and got to know many noble ladies.
At night, the young man returned to his room and opened the gift given by the evil spirits, but he found a few thin pieces of jade.
The young man didn't care at first, but then he became more and more serious as he looked at it, and said to himself: "What a superb bow skill, it's just right for me..."
"But where did those evil spirits get such powerful archery skills?"
The young man looked cautious, reached out and took out a black book, and opened it.
——Code of Conviction.
The pieces of jade that recorded archery skills were placed in the black book by him.
“May all irredeemable sin be revealed.”
The young man chanted a spell in a deep voice.
Gu Qingshan noticed that the conviction card obtained by the real Rhodes was completely different from his own.
Come to think of it, how could such a young man obtain a weapon like the Red Demon Divine Spear right away?
Gu Qingshan continued to look down.
A painful roar suddenly sounded from the black book, and all the jade pieces were shattered into pieces.
The boy suddenly changed his color, picked up the black book and rushed out of the room.
"Hurry and inform the Viscount for me, I want to see him immediately!"
The boy shouted loudly as he ran.
A man who looked like a butler followed up and whispered: "Baron, please calm down. What happened to you that makes you so anxious to see the Viscount?"
The young man said quickly: "Those evil spirits are deceitful, and the bow skills they dedicated to me are an insidious trap."
"Oh? What kind of trap is it?" the steward asked.
"As long as I practice their bow skills, they can take over my body!" the young man said loudly.
Gu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
This is such a familiar scene.
Could it be that all of this, and even everything in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, was done by evil spirits behind the scenes?
But the housekeeper looked confused and murmured: "Really? It's strange, this technique has never been noticed before."
Another voice sounded:
"There are too few people who judge sins and don't believe in gods. The Code of Judgment is the strangest and most powerful thing, so there may be a card that can see through our technique."
In the darkness, a man wearing an evil ghost mask appeared.
He held the boy's head in his hand.
At some point, the young man died.
His headless body fell to the ground, bright red blood spreading on the floor.
The next second.
The endless wind blew against Gu Qingshan, pushing him out of the past time.
Under the starlight, everything around him disappeared.
With a blur in front of his eyes, Gu Qingshan found himself back at the dance scene.
Among the lively crowd, Lord Viscount Warren was standing at the other end of the ballroom, holding a ceremonial sword in his hand and shouted at him: "Rhode, this is your moment!"
Gu Qingshan calmed down and strode towards the direction of the Viscount.
turn out to be……
That's what happened.
Gu Qingshan walked up to the Viscount and knelt down on one knee.
The Viscount gently pressed the back of the ceremonial sword on his shoulder, touched it three times, and then began to recite the canonization curse:
"This canonization is intended to encourage those who have contributed to the world of the Holy Spirit - Mr. Rhodes, who pioneered the territory."
"I gave him the status of baron not because I wanted him to show his rank, but because I wanted him to remember the power of faith."
"Stand up, Rod."
Gu Qingshan stood up, with a faint divine symbol appearing on his body.
This is a nobility canonization curse recognized by the gods and the world, and can be executed after the secular agents discuss and decide with each other.
Viscount Wallen gave Gu Qingshan a set of Baron Armor.
This is the symbol of the baron, representing his identity and power.
Gu Qingshan took over the armor and saluted Viscount Wallen.
The Viscount said a few more words of encouragement.
Amid everyone's cheers and applause, the enfeoffment ceremony was completed.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the evil ghost came to Gu Qingshan again.
"Baron, Your Excellency Baron." The leader of the evil ghost said.
"Say." Gu Qingshan said with a faint smile.
"We sincerely offer you the treasures of our world, hoping that it will accompany you and provide you with powerful assistance."
The evil spirits bowed and presented a treasure box.
Everyone's eyes fell on the treasure box, showing a natural expression.
This has been true for thousands of years.
People are used to it.
Gu Qingshan looked at the treasure box and then at the evil ghosts in front of him.
"What's inside?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The evil spirits held up the treasure boxes and said nothing.
They were not sure whether the boy really wanted to open the treasure box in front of everyone, or whether he was just pretending to ask.
The next second.
Gu Qingshan opened the treasure box directly.
Several thin pieces of jade lie quietly in the treasure box, emitting crystal clear light.
"It seems to be some skills or something."
"The evil ghost world has fought for us everywhere and got a lot of good things."
"Although most of it has to be handed over, the things I give to you adults should be of the best quality."
people whispered.
At this time, the evil ghost leader saw that he really opened the treasure box in front of everyone, and said: "Lord Baron, these are some good bow skills. Even the gods praised these bow skills as powerful and thought they could be spread in the Holy Spirit World."
People were talking louder, and many people showed envy.
Gu Qingshan showed a smile and said slowly: "You are interested, but now that I am a sinner, I have decided not to practice archery and focus on studying the sin-judgment code, so I will not accept these things."
The evil spirits were suddenly surprised.
——It’s not that he doesn’t accept things, but it’s just that giving these things now is of no use to him.
This is a matter of course.
The evil ghost leader had nothing to say for a moment, let alone how to persuade Gu Qingshan to accept the jade piece.
He held the treasure box, shook his head and said, "It seems we were not well prepared."
suddenly.
Viscount Warren's voice sounded:
"Rhode, I advise you to accept these jade pieces and take a look at them when you have time."
Gu Qingshan's heart slowly sank, but he smiled and said: "Sir, I -"
Viscount Warren interrupted him and said seriously: "What your father was good at back then was archery. As his son, you should continue to practice archery even to remember the glory he once achieved."
Gu Qingshan nodded and said: "That's what my lord said."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and put away a few jade pieces.
Viscount Wallen nodded slightly and quietly said: "Rhode, to be honest, I am going to recommend you to study in St. Torrance City and join the service of Count Sith. I wonder if you are willing?"
The city of St. Torrance is the royal city of a prince, and Count Sith is the powerful minister of military affairs. Which low-level noble would not want to have a relationship with him?
Gu Qingshan showed an excited look and said through the message: "Thank you, Lord Viscount, of course I am willing."
Viscount Wallen patted him on the shoulder and continued to transmit the message: "The Count of Sith needs a good archer. I decided to recommend you. But after you go, if you show your poor archery skills in front of the Count, then you will be punished." There is no good fruit to eat - even I have no face, do you understand?"
Gu Qingshan said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely learn the bow skills offered by the evil spirits seriously, and I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Only then did Viscount Warren show a satisfied expression.
