Chapter 415 Is the Old King Also Cursed?

Friends who often play "Mount & Blade" know that in this game, the early relationship between the player character and the lady of your choice, in addition to the violent confession at the beginning, is often based on your "gift".

What gift?

The answer is that you are brave and unparalleled. Just after winning the championship of the city's competition, you kneel down at the feet of the lady and express your willingness to dedicate this honor to her.

This thing does not require financial resources or time, and it is even just a byproduct of your gambling and grabbing prizes, but it can play a very important role in the road of love.

Why?

Because what you share with the noble lady is not just an honor, strictly speaking, it should be a reputation.

——Do you know Ms. Wadiya? Yes, Lord Liu Peisong, who just won the championship of the competition a few days ago, actually dedicated this honor to her!

It's the same now.

——Do you know Prince Amao and Princess Agou? Yes, the Lord Chosen, who is giving a lecture on the Sun-Chasing Peak, actually took time to have dinner with them!

To put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of the popularity and raise the price of oneself by any means. Even if one cannot reach the throne of the prince or princess, one can "sell" oneself for a good price in the future.

So Ji Ming is not a fool, how could he wade into this stinky water, so he just became a fool.

——No matter what you say, Xiao Daidai will only talk about business today!

So everyone who came here could only leave with complicated expressions, and Ji Ming was happy with it. Anyway, they did not dare to turn against him, so they could eat dead flies if they liked.

As a result, on the seventh day, when he finished his lectures and was finally released from prison, and was about to go to the capital to have fun, another acquaintance came.

"You said... Princess Fia came to see me?"

After all, she is a potential ally, and Philip is ranked among the royal ministers, at least more valuable than the previous ones.

So Ji Ming pretended to be busy and left her alone for more than half an hour. Thinking that the time should be right, he returned to the guest room near Zhuri Peak.

But it must be said that as a descendant of a famous family, she is indeed well-mannered. Feiya sat on the chair, not to mention the bookshelf next to her, and even the snacks on the table were not touched.

When she saw Ji Ming, there was still a bit of excitement in her eyes, "I thought I got a four-star, but the gold card turned over and instantly became a five-star."

She greeted him in a proper manner, said some polite words, and then led the topic to the main business.

"Lord Chosen by God, my brother and I were originally considering inviting you to a small gathering in the capital or in Liguang Territory, but who knew that you started teaching as soon as you arrived at the Holy Mountain..."

This is the truth. If Ji Ming did not start teaching, and went up the mountain to pay respects and hurried to the capital, Philip would definitely ask him for a meal.

After all, everyone knows Eleanor's situation. If she is asked to host a banquet... I guess there will be no more than three people at the table. It is a pure family banquet.

But the brothers and sisters of the Fei family are different. The older one is connected with the two younger ones, which adds up to four people.

Even if it is difficult for him to do it, he can just find a friendly noble in the capital to host a grand welcoming banquet.

By then, a lot of insects... no, not guests, will come in droves for their reputation and the debut of the Chosen One, so there will definitely be a lot of people in the venue.

And since the Chosen One is introduced to everyone by them, and everyone is introduced to the Chosen One by them, they will definitely become a natural bridge of friendship between the two sides.

At that time, if everyone wants to find the Chosen One to do something, they will first ask them for advice. If the Chosen One wants to find someone else to do something, they will probably ask them for advice first!

Just think about it, how many benefits will the Fei brothers and sisters gain, as well as their influence and reputation in the capital?

This is simply like Qin Shihuang touching the electric switch, winning is numb!

But the problem is that Ji Ming did not go down the mountain immediately, but instead gave lectures on the mountain for seven consecutive days, and every lecture was full.

Considering that the number of people in the Holy Light Church is not countless, and almost all senior staff have attended the lectures.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Ji Ming does this a few more times, he should almost have the title of "Holy Light Knowledge Transmitter". After all, it is really not easy to get these rough guys to sit down and think.

Because of this, the first-mover advantage of the Fei brothers and sisters is shrinking infinitely. If they extend an olive branch at this moment, it will definitely not be considered as winning over, but only as a request for cooperation.

At that time, even if the banquet can still be pulled up, everyone will not think that they are introducing the God's Chosen, but will only think that they rely on their early acquaintance and want to take advantage of the latest and earliest wave of popularity of the God's Chosen - no different from everyone else.

But the first-mover advantage is the first-mover advantage. The meal that Ku Muling gave was not eaten in vain. This is called good fate. Therefore, after some discussion, the Fei brothers and sisters made the decision to surprise attack the God's Chosen on the seventh day.

As for why only Feiya came here but not Philip.

On the one hand, it is because of such a thing. It is too unreserved to let His Royal Highness take action directly. Doesn't it seem to be a loss of face?

On the other hand, it was because...

After a brief surprise, Feiya looked away, a bit of sadness on her face, a thin mist rose in her purple eyes, and she pursed her lips, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

——If you let Philip use this trick, the Chosen One would be scared away directly.

Even if Ji Ming was under a vest, he would immediately record this scene and take it out to retaliate severely when Prince Fei made trouble in the future.

But even if Fia came, it would be useless. Although her basic skills were better than Eleanor's, she was not up to the standard in front of Ji Ming. She was full of the feeling of acting out a new word to express her sorrow.

So Ji Ming continued his route of pretending to be stupid. He didn't ask her what happened at all. He took advantage of her weakness of not being able to speak her mind and began to talk about the interesting things when he was teaching crazily, not giving her the opportunity to change the topic.

——You don't want to tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I will have to tell you the story of what happened in Sunshine City in seven or four chapters.

There was no way. In the end, the little silver Fia who accidentally entered the King's Game broke the defense and surrendered in despair.

"Very... interesting! But I came here today to ask you for something very important!"

It was amazing. She was so anxious to speak that she was out of tune.

And seeing that she forced to change the topic, it seemed that she was going to talk about something dirty and noisy again. The God's Chosen sighed lightly, and even the light in her eyes dimmed a little.

"Oh, so you have something else to do. I thought... you just came to chat with me. Yes, everyone is busy."

If Feiya was a third person independent of the chat, she should have praised this old actor, and scolded this Fei for being a relative of someone who couldn't keep up with the show.

Unfortunately, she was the vase who couldn't keep up with the show, so Ji Ming used the same method to teach her a lesson, and because of the throbbing and guilt brought by the opponent's high charm, she fell into a hard control state called "stuttering".

"Uh... Actually, chatting is also very interesting, but... First, listen to me finish talking about this matter first!"

Ji Ming remained calm.

"Okay, actually I don't care, just say it."

"Okay, that is, that, uh..."

Feiya, whose brain had been burned by Ji Ming, even thought about it for a while before remembering what she had prepared in advance, and said it quickly.

"Ah! Your Majesty! Uh, did you know that he has been in poor health recently?"

"I heard a little bit about it."

"Well, so I heard that in addition to being very good at dealing with evil god believers, you seem to be a very famous doctor, so I hope you can go and see my father, okay?"

"Well..."

Who knew that the Chosen One was embarrassed when he heard this, and he lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking again.

"To be honest, Miss Feiya, although I have a good reputation in Sunshine City, it is because I am very good at treating external injuries. If someone breaks an arm or leg, or has a punctured intestine, I can use my family's potions and relatively skilled surgical techniques to try to save his life."

"But I heard that His Majesty the King should be suffering from internal injuries. At least until today, no one has found out what disease he has. You have to know that treatment is a very serious matter. If you force it without confidence, it is very likely to go wrong. This is completely irresponsible to yourself, the patient, and the patient's family."

Feiya's face was hesitant, but she was not considering retreating. It was more like weighing the pros and cons, and finally made up her mind.

"In fact! Although I don't know what disease he has, when the Pope went to check, he saw that my father should have suffered some kind of curse."

Oh, it turned out to be a curse. I thought it was a curse.

…

First, there was a former noble lady like Adele, then a former noble like Blois, then a current noble like the Count of Hantan, and now the current emperor who can combine the above into one.

So what is going on in your world? Why does it seem that every day there are new big figures suffering from extremely difficult and weird curses that no one can solve except me.

Wait, that's not right!

"Then, since you have discovered that the problem is the curse, shouldn't His Holiness the Pope have already solved it?"

Sure enough, Fia shook her head, and for the first time showed an expression that was a true reflection of her inner thoughts - a bitter smile.

"The clues of the curse were only discovered in the past few days. The problem is very difficult and the situation is very rare, so His Holiness the Pope is still thinking about how to solve it."

Hiss... Could it be that His Majesty's curse is the same as that of the Count of Hantan, which also has a very long incubation period, but once it breaks out, it can be a vicious trick that can cause a thousand miles of fire?

But wasn't Pisel overthrown by a captain of the Balanta Kingdom Army? He couldn't possibly continue to make trouble in the game.

Or?

Impossible, impossible. This idiot who was blacklisted by the whole world for his perverse behavior has begun to go through the procedures for public trial under the eager expectations of countries around the world and the supervision of relevant organizations.

Even the five big daddies of the Adhesion Kingdom shook their heads. There is no chance of turning over at all!

Then what is it...

Seeing that the Chosen One seemed to be lost in thought, Feiya continued.

"I heard that you have some experience in curing curses. You are the Chosen One. Although I don't know if you can solve it, more people mean more ideas. At least please go and take a look."

Curse treatment is indeed a professional match for Ji Ming, and he is indeed very curious. What kind of existence dares to kill the king in broad daylight?

You know, the players have already entered Qixia City and are making a mess inside. If Ji Ming finds out who it is, he only needs a small hidden task to bring smiles to them.

So he pretended to be hesitant and thought about it again and again, and finally reluctantly agreed to Feiya's request.

"Don't worry, I am sure that I don't want the respected king to get into trouble, just like everyone else, so since it is within my ability, I must do it!"

"Really? That's great!"

Perhaps because she was too tired to act anymore, Feiya excitedly patted the handrail, and found that the chosen one didn't seem to notice it before she felt relieved.

"I mean, when are we going down the mountain? I can notify someone to pick us up now."

Ji Ming originally wanted to say "What are you picking up? I'll take you down and try my new password by the way."

But then he thought that doing so seemed a bit impatient, and I'm not in civil aviation, why do I have to take others with me for no reason?

So he just nodded.

"I don't have anything to do for the time being, the departure time is up to you."

So two hours later, when they stood on a hill near the capital of the Holy Light Mountains, they saw an airship flying over from the horizon in the distance.

Ji Ming was stunned when he saw this thing. After all, in his memory, Yangyue was a medieval magic world where people walked with their legs and communicated with their mouths.

Apart from talents, mounts, and powerful enough magic, there was no possibility of free flight. At best, they could glide at low altitude with some external force.

Even if it was a powerful magic armor, even if the weight of the outer armor had been reduced as much as possible, it could not escape the constraints of gravity with the current power. These are the results of the joint efforts of scientists from all over the world so far.

"What is this?"

Feiya seemed very satisfied with the expression of the chosen one at the moment.

Finally finding a chance to show off, she coughed lightly and reached out to the airship in the distance.

"To be honest, my brother and I have been investing in a group of dwarves to let them develop a magic-driven aircraft. The one in front of you is their most successful product so far."

Awesome, although players also have similar projects, they have not yet produced decent products due to their busy affairs. Didn't they all run ahead of the players?

But technological innovation is innovation, and Ji Ming suddenly thought of a very important issue.

To enter the Holy Mountain, you need a specific passcode. If you don't have it, you will definitely be intercepted even if you are not attacked directly!

Forget it, I won't watch the fireworks today.
