Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

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

What gift?

The answer is that you are extremely brave. You just won the championship of this city's competition, and then you immediately threw yourself at the lady's feet and said that you are willing to dedicate this honor to her.

This thing does not require any financial or time expenditure, and may even be just a byproduct of gambling to win prizes, but it can play a very important role in your relationship journey.

why?

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

——Do you know Ms. Wadia? Yes, Mr. Liu Peisong, who just won the competition a few days ago, actually gave this honor to her!

It's the same now.

——Do you know Prince Cat and Princess Dog? Yes, the Chosen One who was giving a lecture at Sun Chaser Peak actually found time to have dinner with them!

To put it bluntly, they are just trying to ride on the popularity and raise their own status and prices by any means necessary. Even if they cannot reach the throne of prince or princess, they can still "sell" themselves for a good price in the future.

So Ji Ming is not a fool, how could he wade into such stinky water, so he just acted like a fool.

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

Hence, all the people who came here could only leave with complicated expressions, and Ji Ming was happy about it. Anyway, they didn’t 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 preparing to go to the royal capital for fun, another acquaintance came.

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

After all, he is a potential ally, and Philip is ranked among the powerful 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 was right, he returned to the guest room near Zhuri Peak.

But I have to say that as expected of a descendant of a famous family, she is indeed quite well-mannered. When Fia sat on the chair, she didn't touch the bookshelf next to her or even the snacks on the table.

After seeing Ji Ming, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if he had drawn a four-star card, but when he turned over the gold card, it instantly became a five-star card.

After a polite greeting and some polite words, he turned the conversation to business.

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

This was the truth. If Ji Ming had not started his lectures, and had hurried to the capital after visiting a pier on the mountain, Philip would definitely have asked him out for dinner.

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

Ke Fei's brothers and sisters are different. The older one and the two younger ones make four people in total.

Even if it is not easy for him to do so, he can just find a friendly noble in the royal capital to host a grand welcoming banquet.

By then, a large number of insects... ah, not guests, will come because of their reputation and the debut of the God's Chosen One, and the number of people in the field will definitely not be small.

And since they are the ones who introduced God's Chosen One to everyone, and everyone was introduced to God's Chosen One by them, they will inevitably become a natural bridge of friendship between the two sides.

When the time comes, if anyone wants to ask the God’s Chosen One for help, they will have to seek advice from them first. If the God’s Chosen One wants to ask others to do something, they will most likely ask them for advice first!

Think about it, after all this, how many benefits, both overt and covert, will the Fei brothers and sisters gain, as well as their influence and reputation in the royal capital?

This is just like Qin Shihuang touching the electric switch, he is so excited to win!

But the problem was that Ji Ming did not go down the mountain immediately. Instead, he gave lectures on the mountain for seven consecutive days, and every lecture was packed.

Considering that no matter how many people there are in the Holy Light Church, they are not countless, and almost all senior staff have attended the class as auditors.

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.

It is precisely because of this that the first-mover advantage of the Fei brothers and sisters is shrinking infinitely. If they extend an olive branch at this moment, it certainly cannot be regarded as winning over, but only as a request for cooperation.

Even if the banquet can still be stirred up by then, everyone will not think that they are introducing the Chosen One. They will only think that they are relying on the fact that they knew each other earlier and want to take advantage of the latest and earliest wave of popularity of the Chosen One - no different from everyone else.

But the first-mover advantage is the first-mover advantage, and the meal that Leader Ku Mu gave was not in vain. This is called good fate. Therefore, after some discussion, the Fei brothers and sisters made the decision to launch a surprise attack on the chosen one on the seventh day.

As for why only Fia came here but not Philip.

On the one hand, it would be too unreserved to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to take action just because of such a matter. Wouldn't it be a loss of face?

On the other hand, it’s because…

After a brief surprise, Fia looked away, a look of sadness revealed on her face, a thin mist rose in her purple eyes, and she pursed her lips, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

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

Even if it was Ji Ming under a pseudonym, he would immediately record this scene and use it to take revenge on Prince Fei when he makes trouble in the future.

But even if Fia came, it would be useless. With her acting skills, although her basic skills are better than Eleanor's, she is too poor in front of Ji Ming. Her whole body exudes a sense of forced sorrow for the sake of making up new words.

So Ji Ming continued to play dumb and didn't ask her what happened. He took advantage of her weakness that she was embarrassed to speak her mind and started to talk crazily about the interesting things that happened when he was teaching, not giving her any chance to change the subject.

——You won’t tell me, right? If you don’t tell me, I will have to tell you the story of my time in Sunshine City in 749 chapters.

There was no way out. In the end, Little Silver Fia, who accidentally entered the King's game, broke the defense and surrendered in despair.

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

It's amazing. He was so anxious to speak faster that he even sang out of tune.

Seeing that she was forcibly changing the subject, as if she was going to talk about something dirty and noisy again, the Chosen One sighed lightly, and even the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

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

If Feiya was a third person independent of the conversation, she should have praised him for being a veteran actor, and at the same time cursed this Fei for being someone with a family connection and being unable to follow the show at all.

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. Due to the throbbing and guilt brought about by her opponent's high charm, she fell into a hard control state called "stuttering".

"Well... actually chatting is quite interesting, but... first, listen to me finish telling you about this matter!"

Ji Ming remained calm.

"Okay, actually I don't care, go ahead."

"Okay, that's it, that, uh..."

Fia, whose brain had been burned by Ji Ming, even thought for a moment before she remembered what she had prepared in advance and spoke quickly.

"Ah! Your Majesty! Uh, did you know that he has not been in good health recently?"

"Have heard a little bit."

"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 help my father with his illness, okay?"

"This..."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Chosen One looked embarrassed. 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 has broken arms and legs, or a punctured intestine, I can use my family's potions and relatively skilled surgical techniques to try my best to save his life."

"But I heard that the King's injury is probably internal. 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 certainty, it is very likely to go wrong. This is completely irresponsible to yourself, the patient, and the patient's family."

Fia looked hesitant, but she wasn't considering backing down. It was more like she was weighing the pros and cons, and finally made up her mind.

"Actually! Although we don't know what disease he has, when the Pope went to check, he found that my father must have suffered from some kind of curse."

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

……

First, there was a former noble lady like Adele, then a former great noble like Blois, then there was the current great noble like Count Hantan, and now there is the current emperor whose status is enough to combine the above ones together.

So what is going on in your world? Why does it seem like every day there's a new big shot getting smitten with a weird curse that's so intractable that it seems like no one but me can solve it?

Wait a minute, that’s not right!

"Well, since you have already discovered that the problem lies in the curse, shouldn't His Holiness the Pope have already taken action to solve it?"

Sure enough, Fia shook her head, and for the first time revealed an expression that truly reflected her inner thoughts - a wry 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 Earl Hantan, which also has a very long incubation period, but once it breaks out, it is a vicious and ruthless move that can cause a raging fire thousands of miles away?

But hasn’t Pisel been overthrown by a captain in the Balanta Kingdom Army? It’s impossible for him to continue making trouble in the game.

Or?

Impossible, impossible! This idiot who has been blacklisted by the whole world for his perverse actions has already begun the public trial process under the eager anticipation of countries around the world and the supervision of relevant organizations.

Even the five big guys of the Nation of Bonding shook their heads. There is no chance of turning things around!

What exactly is that...

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

"I heard that you have some experience in curing curses, and you are also a chosen one by God. Although I don't know if you can solve it, more people mean more ideas. At least please go over and take a look."

Curse treatment is indeed a professional skill for Ji Ming, and he is also very curious about what kind of person would dare to kill the king in broad daylight?

You know, the players have already entered Qixia City and are causing chaos there. If Ji Ming could find out who it is, all it would take is 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 Fia's request.

"Don't worry, I am no different from everyone else in not wanting anything to happen to the respected King. So, since it is within my power, I will definitely do my best to help him!"

"Really? That's great!"

Maybe she was too exhausted to continue acting, Fia patted the armrest excitedly, and was relieved when she found that the Chosen One didn't seem to notice.

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

Ji Ming wanted to say, "Why are you answering it? I'll take you down right now and try my new password."

But on second thought, doing so seems to make me seem a bit hasty, and I'm not in the civil aviation industry, so why should I take others flying with me for no reason?

So just nod.

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

So two hours later, when they were standing on a hilltop near the royal capital in 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 magical world with a medieval background where people basically walked with their legs and communicated with their mouths.

Apart from talent, mounts, and powerful enough magic, there is no possibility of free flight. The best you can do is glide at low altitude with the help of external forces.

Even if it is a powerful magic armor, even if the weight of the outer armor has been reduced as much as possible, it still cannot 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.

"this is?"

Fia seemed very satisfied with the expression of the Chosen One at the moment.

Finally finding an opportunity to show off, she coughed lightly and stretched out her hand towards the airship in the distance.

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

That’s awesome! Although players also have similar projects, they haven’t produced any decent products so far due to their busy schedule. Doesn’t that mean they’ve gotten 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, even if you won’t be attacked directly, you will definitely be intercepted!

No, I don’t think we’ll watch the fireworks today.
