Chapter 72 Exile

As early as when the thief Biro led the thief Jie Luo and the snake girl to chat and conspire in private, Zhou Ming knew that in the face of huge interests, even the pure and kind Holy Mother might degenerate into a hell devil.

What are the benefits and promises that the bandit Biro made to the bandit Jero and the others?Zhou Ming doesn't know very well, but as an ordinary mercenary, even if he has some gold coins and his subordinates, if he wants to develop this new continent, even if he is given another 100 years for Piro Biro, he may not be able to make a name for himself. He feels good about himself, thinking that he can really dominate this continent.

Zhou Ming was different. He pulled the thief Jie Luo to him, and said to the thief Jie Luo: After returning to Grandland, in addition to a bounty of [-] gold coins, he will be promoted to a legendary mercenary, and he will also be given a vice president of the mercenary union. The post——these are the most valuable things that Zhou Ming can take out right away.

There is also a promise - when he becomes a duke or a king, he will grant the bandit Gero the title and territory of an earl.

Regarding this promise, the thief Jie Luo can doubt whether Zhou Ming can keep it, but compared to his cousin the devil Biro's promise: after killing the snake girl, they will be half brothers in this continent, and the probability of fulfillment is higher.

But Biro is his cousin...not a brother who has played with him since he was a child, this cousin is not as important as Snake Girl in his heart.

As for the snake girl... Zhou Ming, who had already figured it out long after this woman saved his life, had a heart-to-heart relationship with this rumor on a beautiful night not long after. The women in the protective shell, after telling each other about the past, embraced and lingered together.

Two days ago, she ran over shyly and said that she seemed to have...

……

mid-November.

Zhou Ming and his group traveled quickly from the Copper Mountain Kingdom, passed through the war-torn Iron Castle Kingdom, and returned to Granland in a hurry.

A sensational news spread quickly.

"Edward Knights are back, and they have completed their mission to explore the new world!"

"The Devil's Mountain was turned over by them, how did they do it?"

"What's behind the Ural Snow Mountain? Is there really a man-eating devil?"

"Who can ask Cavalier Edward how he crossed the Ural Snow Mountain, and can he tell us how to do so?"

"..."

Discussions resounding in the mercenary unions, taverns, and dusty places made the new world behind the Ural Snow Mountains the hottest topic this winter.

When Zhou Ming returned to the castle, the moment he entered the castle, what greeted him was not the joyful smiling faces of the servants and the joy and excitement of his relatives and friends, but an indescribable weird atmosphere.

Zhou Ming didn't pay attention, and went straight to his wife Fanny's room, and saw Fanny who was breastfeeding a child. With a somewhat reluctant expression, she hugged the one-year-old child.

He opened his trousers and looked at the parts underneath.

No.

Still a daughter.

"woooo~"

At this time, there was a burst of crying, and Zhou Ming, who had a stiff expression, turned his head to look, and saw his wife covering her face with a silk scarf, and began to cry.

"It's okay, boys and girls are the same, I especially like girls."

After kissing the little daughter's face twice, Zhou Ming patted Fanny's shoulder and comforted her.

"Dear Edward, I am useless. I have given birth to three daughters for you, and I have not even given birth to an heir for you. Will you still love me? Love me like before?"

Fanny's tears were like a flood breaking a dam, and there was some self-blame and fear in her trembling voice.

"Love love love, of course love, you are my favorite wife and the person I cherish the most, there is no boy, we can have another..."

Putting his little daughter aside, Zhou Ming hugged his wife, put her in his arms and kissed her.

After some clouds and rain, Zhou Ming was feeling agitated while stroking his wife who was still beautiful in his arms.

Zhou Ming is not a sexist. It is the same for him to have a boy or a girl. As long as it is his child, he will treat it equally.

But the world around here doesn't see it that way.

The nobles in this world generally regard boys as the heirs of the family, and they attach great importance to their training, regardless of the cost.

Girls are generally regarded as tools for family marriage, and of course they will be cultivated, but the requirements are not as high as boys, as long as they are educated and reasonable.

Therefore, any noble with a title and territory, if there is no boy among the descendants, the title and territory of this nobleman will be inherited by the person closest to him in accordance with the relationship of kinship and estrangement. Substitute, in the case of extinct heir, you can choose someone from the branch to replace you, such as cousins, etc., can be designated as the heir to the title in the will.

In the current Burns family, Zhou Ming is of course the eldest son whose status cannot be shaken. After his father, Baron Connor, leaves, the ownership of the title and territory belongs to him.

but……

If his wife Fanny has not given birth to a boy for him, in the family, his younger brother Donnie is still the second heir to the territory. Once Zhou Ming leaves, if there is no male heir of the direct line ), everything in the entire Grand Land will be inherited by his younger brother Downey, even if Fanny gave him ten or eight daughters, it will be useless.

Not only that, the bloody system in Zhou Ming's head, in the way of calculating the number of descendants of game characters, only counts the female descendants of the direct line in the statistical data, and the female descendants of the non-direct line, such as granddaughters and great-granddaughters, are not counted in the number of offspring.

"I just returned to the castle, and the servants looked at me strangely. I met Donnie on the way, and saw his evasive eyes, showing a guilty conscience..."

Ha ha.

Having figured out some problems, Zhou Ming sneered in his heart. It seems that within less than two years since he traveled outside, some demons and ghosts in the castle couldn't help jumping up and down.

the next day.

Training ground behind the castle.

"Eric, who made the palm print on your face? During my absence, who has the guts to treat you like this?"

Eric, the second son of Baron Romond, came to Grandland Castle four years ago and became Zhou Ming's knight attendant. The time between the master and the apprentice was only more than two years. Zhou Ming liked the child's body very much. Hardworking and tenacious, smart and eager to learn, although this child's future achievements will not surpass himself, there is no problem in surpassing those ordinary knights by a large margin.

But today, Zhou Ming, who was about to check whether Eric's skills had regressed during his absence during this period, saw the clear five-finger red mark on his face, and immediately flew into a rage.

"Tell me, who did it!" Seeing that Eric was silent, Zhou Ming shouted.

"Yes...it's Master Downey..."

Eric had no choice but to tell the whole story. It turned out that during the time when Zhou Ming went out to explore, but he didn't come back for a year, Donnie spread "people who went to the Devil's Mountain" among the servants. I can't even come back," the news made everyone in the castle panic.

Not only that, Downey's idea actually went to Zhou Ming's personal maid, Alice, and asked to transfer Alice to his side as his maid, but he didn't get his father's approval, so he harassed her repeatedly.

A few days ago, after seeing Donnie pulling Alice's clothes and making more and more daring behaviors, 15-year-old Eric stepped forward and said a few words, protecting Alice from the room, As a result, Donnie slapped him severely in anger.

"Donnie, Donnie, no matter in your last life or this life, you probably won't be able to change your shit-eating habit! Well, then, I'll send you to the place with the most shit to eat your fill!"

A week later, with a letter of recommendation from the earl, Downey, who was suddenly invited to study at the Royal Capital Academy, shook his hands, stomped his feet, rolled around, and wailed while hugging his mother, Madame Madeleine, but the two knights couldn't stop him. The carriage finally left Granling, which was unwilling to leave, amidst a burst of mournful cries...
