Sui Xiong knew about Crick’s situation.

Although Crick’s problems were a little difficult, they weren’t unsolvable with Sui Xiong’s ability. However, after careful consideration, he gave up on treating Crick.

As his incarnation, Crick had undertaken the task of experiencing life and understanding the world from the perspective of a Hill Lord of Aristocracy. Of course, there would be a variety of ups and downs, sorrows and joy, and death was also inevitable.

Sui Xiong could only be an onlooker in Crick’s life. If he interfered too much, it would certainly affect Crick’s attitude and ideas—cooperation with the Church of the Void Mask was enough to change Crick’s ideas a great deal. Sui Xiong didn’t know whether these changes were good or bad, but he didn’t want to see any further changes.

It was cruel, but the result of his “research” would be used to determine a God or a church government. Sui Xiong could only apologize to the ignorant “traveler.”

There was a famous saying from an unknown author that the progress of medicine depended on countless sacrifices. Actually, the progress in other fields was probably the same. Sui Xiong was unwilling to make so many sacrifices, so he could only sacrifice himself. As a “traveler,” he observed and experienced the world from all angles of society so as to gain a comprehensive understanding of the whole world and find the right way to promote its development.

He felt very sorry for Crick, but since it was he who wanted to understand the world and push it forward, it was he who should shoulder the responsibility.

Every “traveler” who had died was Sui Xiong himself under certain conditions. At the moment of “traveling through time,” he had followed different possibilities, and thus produced different processes and obtained different results.

Their own choices followed their own principles and consciences. In other words, supposing that Sui Xiong on earth hadn’t become a big jellyfish after traveling through time, but an ordinary person, the outcome would probably have been like this.

So… there was nothing to complain about…

Shortly after waking up, Sui Xiong watched far afar and returned to his wheelchair, pretending to be as weak as Crick and sighing deeply.

He could see that Crick was dying.

Crick intended to do big things before his death, clearing up obstacles as much as possible for his relatives, friends, and territory so that he could rest peacefully.

All of his performing was for this purpose.

“Good job!” Sui Xiong praised himself and laughed. “If I were him, I would also use this kind of cunning style. ”

He thought for a while and decided to help him a little bit from the dark.

Soon, a rumor spread quickly throughout the Duchy of Thunder.

Crick Keane, the former Hill Lord of the “Pearl of Thunder” Keane baronet, was too ill to stand up. He often fainted and could die at any moment.

When the news of his illness spread, many people with high aspirations were greedy for his territory.

Although Crick had been married for several years, he hadn’t had any children, probably because he had been badly injured on the battlefield on the Sun’s Extinction Day. At present, the current Keane Baron, Anna Keane, who was also his sister, was the only heir to the Keane Hill.

Miss Anna was fourteen years old and could only be regarded as comely, not beautiful or charming, in terms of her appearance, but she had one of the most prosperous Baron Hills in the Duchy of Thunder as a dowry. More than one businessman had assessed that although the Keane Hill was just a Baron Hill, it could accumulate as much wealth as any Viscount Hill!

With such a big dowry, even an ugly person could be transformed into a beauty. Even if people discriminated against hideous appearances, a big dowry would be enough to make people ignore any defects in appearance. Moreover, Miss Anna at least had regular features that could be considered beautiful compared to noble ladies whose mothers had probably fornicated with ogres or goblins. Even many people would marry those noble ladies for their big dowry not to mention such a beauty Anna!

Therefore, many young talents set off in a hurry to impress Miss Anna so as to gain her heart and win her dowry.

Of course, if they couldn’t have both at the same time, they wouldn’t mind too much, as long as they had the dowry…

“What? Do they really think so?” After listening to Rena’s report, Crick didn’t become angry, but smiled and seemed very calm.

Rena nodded. “I watch and read their lips while they’re drinking and chatting.”

Crick chuckled twice, shook his head, and said with some regret, “I had hoped that there would be outstanding young people among them, and if some of them had been talented or virtuous enough that they would mesh well with Anna’s temper, I wouldn’t mind giving this dowry, which could be the most valuable currently, to them.”

“What a pity!”

He sighed deeply and regretted that those young men hadn’t lived up to his expectations.
