That night, Romon had a dream.

In his dream, he went back to his youth and happened to meet a rich guy in a casino. This rich guy was the illegitimate son of a viscount. His father was seriously ill now, so he was going back to compete for the inheritance. Upon learning that, Romon killed this rich guy, then spent almost all of his fortune on finding an advanced mage to hold a blood inheritance ceremony that could help him inherit the blood of the rich guy’s family. Then with this proof of his identity, he went to the Geerteng Viscount Hill after the viscount died.

Everything went smoothly for him, since the other heir was so abhorrent that she wasn’t competitive at all. Romon made various promises to the aristocrats in the surrounding territories to gain their support. Soon, the situation was stabilized.

At last, he inherited the title of earl successfully and became the new viscount, as well as the Hill Lord of Geerteng Hill.

After the coronation, he sat on the throne in the meeting hall and looked around. This hall wasn’t magnificent or luxurious, but it was large enough at least. Then he couldn’t help laughing.

“Great! But it’s just a dream. What a pity!”

“Oh? How do you know it’s a dream?” Sui Xiong showed up in the form of a jellyfish, floating in front of Romon.

Romon looked at him, a bit scared, but not surprised at all.

“I don’t know, but I’ve had this dream many times over the decades.”

Upon hearing that, Sui Xiong knew the reason and couldn’t help laughing, and then said, “I didn’t expect that you would take things that happened decades ago to heart so much. Do you still want to be a Hill Lord?”

Romon was silent for a while and answered, “No, I don’t.”

“Then why do you still have dreams like this?” Sui Xiong asked curiously. “If you didn’t have such ideas, I wouldn’t be able to make you have such a dream unless I used a special spell.”

Romon smiled bitterly. “Actually, I just feel regretful.”

“For what?”

“That I didn’t take the opportunity to find powerful support for myself!” Romon shook his head and said with a sigh, “At that time, if I had directly knelt to Miss Anna and respected her as the Hill Lord of Geerteng Hill, I could have been one of her subordinates. Then I might have been a big man respected by others right now, and I might even have been one of the high-ranking officials of the Church of Void Mask.”

Sui Xiong thought about it carefully and then nodded. “It might have been possible…”

Romon sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, “It was all because of my bad decision at that time. Such a good opportunity was sent to me, perhaps the best one of my life, but I just messed it up!”

“But it was dangerous, too.” Sui Xiong couldn’t help comforting him. “At that time, you were disguised as the illegitimate son of Viscount Geerteng. Once you were exposed, you would die.”

Romon didn’t care about that at all. He said casually, “Opportunities always come with danger. The better the opportunity one has, the greater the danger one meets. Over these years, I took many risks, but did I finally seize a good opportunity? Never! As a result, up until now, I’m just a tutor to the sixth successor of the earl family. I’m not even a knight!”

Romon opened his hand and asked, “Do you agree that it would have been better for me to take a risk at first?”

“It sounds reasonable. I have nothing to say.”

Romon laughed and asked, “I don’t know who you are, but you have the appearance of Void Mask and showed up in my dream. Are you just coming to chat with me?”

Sui Xiong laughed as well. “I’m not disguising as Void Mask. I am Void Mask.”

“You must be kidding. No Gods would do such a boring thing.”

“Well, that’s what I’m doing. Excuse me.”

Romon was astounded for a moment. He looked at Sui Xiong carefully and asked, “Then, may I ask how you know who supported Miss Anna at that time?”

Sui Xiong was silent for a while and said, “It was me. But I think I made the right choice. She was more suitable than you to be a Hill Lord.”

Without saying a word, Romon jumped down from the throne and knelt down in front of Sui Xiong at once, holding Sui Xiong’s tentacles in his arms.
