Chapter 417 It’s a Miracle that the Old King Is Still Alive

After more than ten minutes, following the group of guard knights into the palace gate, Ji Ming, who loves wonders, finally saw what he wanted.

It must be said that this Sun Castle, which has a history of at least 500 years, is still quite valuable. The exquisite design full of craftsmanship is a scene at every step, which really made him marvel.

The knight next to him was also a wonderful person. Seeing that Ji Ming seemed interested in these things, he immediately began to introduce him to this pearl hanging at the highest point of Qixia City.

His choice of words and sentences was quite exquisite, and various historical events were even more exaggerated. It was obvious that he had received professional training and came prepared.

This aroused Ji Ming's vigilance, and finally made him figure out what made him feel out of place in this castle.

First of all, the knight's thin armor was so thin that it seemed to be carved and hollowed out, and no longer had any practical significance.

Then there were the hand guards and helmets decorated with various jewels, which felt that they would fall apart with just a little force.

Finally, although the design is quite beautiful, the ornaments are too numerous and dazzling, so that the interior decoration completely detracts from the score.

You have to understand that even in the late period of the Holy Tree Kingdom, the elves' preferences have developed towards extravagance, but compared with the pile of things in front of them, they are really conservative.

This is a completely nouveau riche aesthetic that does not consider practicality and is focused on showing off wealth, which is completely contrary to the original design style of the castle.

No wonder the old lady has to hide far away in Sunshine City. If she sees too much, she will be so angry that her life will be shortened.

But the accompanying knight didn't know what the God of Choice was thinking when he stared at this pile of artworks. He thought that his [Outlander] talent was activated and he entered the country bumpkin form.

He couldn't help but snorted.

Oh, outsider...

After twisting and turning along the corridor for a long time, and passing through a small garden with a fountain, Ji Ming finally ended this torturous maze journey and came to the king's bedroom.

"Please wait for a moment, Lord God's Chosen. I will report to His Majesty the King."

Unexpectedly, the maids in the bedroom were dressed quite frugally. They might have saved the larger pieces of fabric on their bodies to buy those jingling earrings and anklets.

So the knights who had previously despised the God's Chosen were now on the same side as him.

I couldn't help but snort.

Oh, old jerk...

But they didn't complain for long. The maids returned to the door with the crisp sound of the accessories.

"His Majesty the King has ordered that Lord God's Chosen can go in. Please follow me."

Ji Ming took a step forward and looked back quietly, and found that the knight behind him had no intention of following him.

Could it be...

With this discovery as a precaution, the situation in the bedroom was not much different from what he imagined.

The main color of bright red and purple, the faint smell of incense in the air, and the staff arrangement that only women were left around the guards as soon as they crossed the threshold.

Ji Ming quietly observed the surroundings and shook his head secretly.

This is completely a harem, little sun, you are becoming more and more like a little lion.

Little lion: Don't be so harsh, my aesthetics are better than this, the one sitting next to the old bed was not worthy of my second glance.

That's right, in a curtain that was clearly warm, but made Ji Ming's brows tighten more and more, there were five maids waiting by the king's bed.

At this time, he was resting his head on the thigh of one of them, with a look of "Fuck, it's so cool, or I'll just die here today", I really don't know what the maid's report just now was about.

So this old guy saw that the chosen ones had entered the room and then he forced himself to sit up with his sick body, and by the way, he signaled the maid next to him to restrain himself and stop staring at others with other eyes.

Ji Ming: Okay, it's pretty good, it made my fist a little hard.

But although it was indeed excessive, it can't be blamed entirely on this old guy who has a terminal illness and dares to be so shy.

Because if you have to say, as a common hobby of the Sun Kings of all generations, half of the blame can be put on the Archbishop.

Yes, it is the royal assessment system that is essentially using children to raise Gu.

As we all know, the most important thing about raising Gu is not only to find ways to make the competition more intense, but also to invest enough Gu.

And the fierce competition has been guaranteed by the tempting power and the foundation that can be passed down for generations, so the only thing that the Sun Kings of all generations need to think about is the latter.

After several generations of painstaking research, a former king came to an important conclusion, and this conclusion is only a simple word - give birth!

Therefore, it is obviously not enough to have only the queen. As a king, you have to search for beauties everywhere, quickly arrange the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth mistresses, and give birth to a lot!

For example, the brothers and sisters of the Fei family were actually born by the fourth mistress, and their mother was the king's mistress. This is also a well-known fact, and no one dares to say anything.

Then the question is, what if the one who succeeds in eating chicken in the end is a princess?

She is not the Queen of Insects. She climbed up to enjoy power. It is impossible for her to devote her short life to the endless business of exploding soldiers.

Sun Queen: "Tsk, isn't this easy? Just go find my third, fourth, fifth, and sixth sons!"

The queen's amazing wisdom shocked everyone, because she directly started a large-scale adoption movement that was enough to be recorded in history.

——Encourage all your brothers and sisters to have many babies, and then adopt the babies to her.

In the eyes of this group of losers, their own bloodline can participate in the next generation's assessment as a prince or princess, and maybe even take over the throne and become the next generation of monarchs, which can be regarded as a resurrection match for his unsatisfied parents.

In the eyes of the queen, these children are of royal blood, so they are not considered cheap outsiders. And since they were brought into the palace from an early age and raised by her dedicated personnel, they will inevitably be closer to her than to their biological parents.

In this way, everyone is happy and it is a win-win situation, but...

Archbishop: I have a problem!

At that time, Tenis was still young and still held a powerful position in the church. When he saw the current Holy Father doing such cruel things, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

After waking up, he immediately took action, trying to use his influence to make up for the [Royal Assessment System] that was already full of loopholes and was about to become a debuff for the kingdom.

However, it is hard to get back, there are already countless people with vested interests, and no one has any objections. What kind of monster are you doing here, you old man?

Tenis had no choice but to give up and continue to let the previous kings go wild on this matter and constantly create new heights...or should we say new depressions?

While Ji Ming was thinking about it, the maids who had a smell on their bodies had retied their clothes and were waiting on both sides obediently.

The weak king raised his head in confusion and looked at Ji Ming's face with squinted eyes, but a bright and blazing light suddenly burst out in his eyes.

Damn it, what do you mean?

Ji Ming's level of fright suddenly soared. This fear beyond death was comparable to that of Tenis when he heard that Her Majesty the Queen had adopted eight adopted children in one day.

Fortunately, the most terrifying situation did not happen. The king lost interest after regaining his composure and realizing that the person in front of him was indeed a man.

"Oh, you are the chosen one..."

There is still some expectation.

"gentlemen?"

Ji Ming nodded quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you."

At least on paper, the religious power and royal power of the Kingdom of Radiance are separate from each other, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.

So as the God's Chosen One, he just bowed down politely, and then... then deliberately glanced at the maids around him.

——It’s not interesting. It means that you are not interested in it. I am interested in this. Do you understand what I mean?

Lao Deng curled his lips when he saw this. It seemed that even though he could no longer hold the chopsticks, he was still unhappy that Ji Ming peeked at the food on his plate.

Although he didn't get angry because of such a thing, he still said it a bit angrily.

"Okay, Mr. God's Choice is here to treat me, how can you let him stand and talk? Maple Lu, why don't you bring a chair over here quickly!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, but before that, I still have something to say."

Sitting beside the Sun King's bed, Ji Ming did not rush to take action. Instead, he issued a disclaimer for his medical skills after a long absence.

Including but not limited to, I learned medical skills from my master, and you don’t know who the master is. My skills are pretty good, but I can’t tell you how good I am. Anyway, I’ll try to do it today, so don’t have high hopes.

Logically speaking, even if Ji Ming still uses the term "high emotional intelligence", the Sun King had to go through three disasters and nine calamities before climbing up, so it is impossible not to understand.

But it may be that he is really old and is getting comatose, or it may be that he is simply ill and seeking medical attention in a hurry since he doesn't have a few more days to live.

Anyway, after he listened, he pondered for a moment and still allowed Ji Ming to consult him.

"Don't worry, I will treat it conservatively."

The stakes are high, and the Glow Artifact has yet to be determined. If something goes wrong, the entire continent may really be set on fire.

Therefore, Ji Ming did not dare to use his hand to gather the spirit liquid this time. Instead, he used the old trick of looking, hearing and asking.

The first step was to look. He carefully observed the Sun King's face.

To be honest, the genes of the Glow Royal Family are pretty good. At least even if his face is full of wrinkles, it can still be seen that he was a good-looking young man when he was young.

But now, in addition to the old man's complexion that would gradually fade away, there is also a strong gloomy air between the eyebrows, and there is a thick layer of clouds under the eyes.

...Although this is indeed partly due to his physical weakness caused by overuse of some of his organs, he is a monarch of a powerful country in the magical world.

The happiness level can be increased by eating well, wearing good clothes and using good things every day, and the resource management is enough to increase the level. The upper limit is completely determined by personal talent.

Therefore, even if he is old, his current appearance is definitely not the normal state.

Seeing Ji Ming frowning and looking seriously, the Sun King raised his eyelids tiredly.

"Divine Chosen, how's it going?"

Ji Ming shook his head.

"I heard Miss Feia say that Your Majesty must have been cursed, and now it seems that it is indeed true."

"Fatigue can actually be divided into three types. One is mental fatigue, for example, if you stay up late to deal with state affairs and feel a splitting headache after finishing it, you don't want to think about anything; the other is physical fatigue, such as... Ah, please hear me out first!"

After interrupting the Sun King, whose face was already glowing red with excitement, and who was probably about to say something bad about tigers and wolves, Ji Ming continued to explain.

"In this regard, for example, if you practice swordsmanship, you feel soreness in the muscles of your arms after finishing it, and your whole body feels weak when you lie in bed at night."

"As for the last kind of fatigue, it is the fatigue of the origin of life. This feeling is the most real, and the vicious curse technique often revolves around this."

After listening to his analysis, the Sun King did not change his expression, but just asked indifferently.

"Yes, I already know these things. Do you see more?"

"More..."

Relying on his high level, Ji Ming has pulled the king's panel to the bottom, where a series of weak states are piled up, which is simply the medal of this old Deng's poisoning the world.

But in addition to this, there are two particularly scarlet labels here.

The first one is [Siphon Trap],

This is a relatively special curse, because the prerequisite for activating it is that the hidden stake must exist in the target's body for three years, and the difficulty lies in that this hidden stake is not something that can be left alone after being laid.

In order to maintain its existence, the caster must cast spells and chant incantations nearby every day to keep it active, and at intervals of up to one month, he must directly contact the target again to supply energy to the dark stake, so that it will not be "starved" to death while lurking.

And such complex conditions have resulted in the fact that three years later, the dark stake has completely spread its influence in the target's body and has completely become familiar with and adapted to the target's environment, which is equivalent to starting a long-planned war under the premise of an insider and full map vision.

Once it breaks out, even professionals with a higher level than the caster will have half of their lives sucked away alive. If they are not handled properly at a critical moment, they may even die directly. It can be said to be extremely vicious.

Even the giant uncle who is the Holy Light Pope has to be helpless in the face of such a bleak battle situation that has already gone against the wind. After all, you and I are all mixed together, and it is really a rat-killing move.

Then the question is.

Ji Ming coughed lightly and suddenly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, do you think I am trustworthy?"

"Of course not, you are such a reckless guy!"

The Sun King immediately frowned, but after he finished speaking, a hint of teasing quietly appeared in his eyes.

"But... I have to trust the Archbishop."

"Very good, I like your Majesty's honesty."

Ji Ming nodded, and gestured to the maids around him.

"Then, does your Majesty trust them?"

"Of course I do!"

The Sun King clearly said it in a decisive tone, but he laughed and waved his hand at them.

"But... they are all good girls, there is no need to get involved in dangers that have nothing to do with them."

Damn, what an old fox!

Ji Ming couldn't help cursing in his heart. This old guy was so weak that he was about to die on a woman, how could he still be so cunning?
