Chapter 55 (1/2)

It was really not that easy to find a talent like Olian.
Sui Xiong and Ray basically knew nothing about the Geerteng Family, as well as the Geerteng City, and they had no idea where they could find the person they needed. They were wandering aimlessly as if they were trying to dredge up a needle in the sea, and felt like it was even more difficult than a scout who was waiting at the gate of a high school, watching every girl that came out of the school and trying to find a future super star in the film industry among these girls.
Ray knew this very clearly, so when Sui Xiong said he wanted to find a suitable heir to the title of Viscount himself, he was rather doubtful and asked, “You said you want to find a perfect heir, where shall we find him?”
Ray had been an adventurer as well as a bandit for a long time, and he knew very well that finding someone was never an easy task.
It would be better if they knew which person they needed to find. Now they were trying to find someone who they did not even know really existed.
Should they go to a bar, buy the most expensive wine and ask the bartender?
By doing this, they might find out who was best at fighting or who was the richest or who was the most beautiful in the city, but Ray did not think the bartender knew who was the perfect one to inherit the title of Viscount.
If the bartender really had some ideas, he might say the perfect one was Romon or Steele…
“We can not give up before we have even started! I am going to think of a way.” Sui Xiong also realized that his plan might not work. But since he had said he was going to think of a way, he would have to fulfill his promise. Then he began to think really hard and sift through the materials given by the God of Redemption, hoping to find some way.
And surprisingly, he did manage to find one.
It was a very advanced magic spell called “foresee the future.”
It was not a common magic spell, rather it was a “legendary spell.” It’s working principle was rather complicated, so was its result. Based on the preconditions, one needed to simulate what would happen under this condition and do some observations.
The key to this spell was the gap between the one who was observing and the one who was being observed; the bigger the gap was, the more energy the one who was observing could consume and the smaller the gap, the less energy. If one wanted to observe someone whose Person was higher than them, they were just daydreaming.
The person Sui Xiong wanted to find was a mortal, and Sui Xiong was a God, so he thought he would not consume too much energy…
They chose to leave the Geerteng City first, and came to a open and desolated place, then Sui Xiong practiced a spell to shield the scene around him in case he was seen by others. He began to read the paternoster and changed his magic power into invisible clew to connect with the infinite time.
The air in front them began to tremble, wriggle and twist, as if there was something being bred in the air. The atmosphere was getting really terrifying, even the audacious Ray was frightened.
After a while, Sui Xiong finished reading the paternoster, then he use his magic energy to activate the magic spell.
Crack! As if there was a glass in front them that was broken suddenly, the trembled heavily and a vague scene appeared.
It was the Geerteng City, but it was quite different from the one they saw. This Geerteng City was very prosperous and bustling. There were many people on the street and everyone looked very happy, which meant the ruler had been managing the city very well.
In the center, was the Viscount Mansion. They were staring at the mansion, as if they had become two invisible pairs of eyes that were floating in the sky and observing.
Sui Xiong was surprised to find that the magic energy stored in this doppelgänger was drifting away very quickly, but he knew he could not stop at this critical moment, so he clenched his teeth and transported the magic energy from his real body and flew higher into the sky. Then he spread his body and absorbed the magic energy from around him, as much as possible to fill the energy deficit. Even so, he still felt he could not last too long.
Luckily, he was a God after all, and the gap of the Person between him and his target was very big, so the consumption was relatively lower. If a legendary wizard wanted to practice this spell, not only would they need to hold a big ceremony, they would also have to consume a huge amount of magic energy—even so, he saw some vague scenes at most.
Sui Xiong and Ray were watching the scene live, no matter how bad the image quality was. This was something only a God could do.
Then Sui Xiong used his magic energy to further activate this spell; the invisible eyes then began to move quickly and flew toward the Viscount Mansion and right into the government service center.
The Viscount Mansion was not that big, so it just took a short while for the two of them to get into the government service center. Inside the room, there was a calm girl who was wearing glasses. She was frowning and talking with an official next to her.
“That’s her!” Sui Xiong exclaimed, and stopped the spell immediately. The bizarre scene in front of them immediately vanished like a broken water bubble.
Ray was completely stunned and stood still. An exhausted jellyfish God was on his head, as if it was a hat.
“Seriously?!” Ray muttered. “He managed to find the person simply by randomly choosing a target and then practicing a spell? How could this be so easy!”
“Is a God really this powerful? Why do I feel there is something wrong with this… If it is so easy to find someone, I should have been found a long time ago, not to mention by the others. The Brutal Hunter had given their order to hunt me down, they must have practiced a spell to locate me… Besides, through the ages, there were so many powerful men that had ever offended a God, I have never heard of one who had been found simply by a magic spell…”
Sui Xiong did not bother to explain it to this inexperienced and ignorant knight. Easy? Couldn’t Ray tell he was already too tired to get up now!
The more Ray thought about this, the more upset he became. Then he could not help but ask Sui Xiong what on earth was happening, but Sui Xiong himself was not clear either, and the more he explained the more confused Ray became. He had to leave this unsolved problem alone for now.
