Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

The iron-fisted saint who has spanned ten thousand years is still in action, laying mines behind the Dark Flame Consciousness, waiting for the big explosion.

In the north, the Khan of Beimos has assembled his troops, ready to march south at any time to defeat the Deep Forest. After all, the northern defense line is no longer that solid.

The Little Sun who had been hiding in the Holy Mountain also regrouped and, together with the giant Pope who had recovered his strength, set out to avenge the death of the God of Light five months ago.

Naturally, there were more Yangyue people who tried to take action. For example, not long after Ji Ming finished reading the newspaper, there was a knock on his door.

When he opened the door, as he expected, it was Eleanor, who was wearing a new dress, or a women's suit, because of her position.

As adults, everyone has their own work to do, so this is the third time Ji Ming has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess since he returned to Black Water Territory.

Therefore, Ji Ming did not rush to speak, but let her, who had dark circles under her eyes and looked a little dizzy, sit down first.

After he drank the hot water mixed with half a bottle of Spirit Gathering Liquid, he spoke.

"Are you feeling better? Young man, don't work too hard. You still have plenty of time to work hard. Take a break if you need to."

"I don't think I have too many..."

The effect of the spirit gathering liquid was immediate, and Eleanor's face immediately became a little redder.

But she swallowed the words halfway through her mouth and continued.

"I know all these things and I will consider them, but I came to you today to get your help in other areas."

Ji Ming could probably guess what Eleanor wanted to say, but he didn't point it out, and instead gave her the right to speak.

"What's the relationship between us? Just tell me."

"Ah."

Eleanor groaned in obedience, but her words still came out hesitantly.

"It's just that recently there have been a lot of people around me who have openly or covertly expressed to me that they want to support the Western Territory, but I... I really don't know what to do, so I want to hear your opinion..."

really.

Ji Ming did not answer directly, but stared into Eleanor's violet eyes and asked a question.

"So, do you not know what to do, or can't make up your mind?"

"Well, maybe..."

Seeing that Eleanor was still hesitating, her eyes wandering around, and refusing to express her thoughts, Ji Ming smiled knowingly.

"If you are hesitating, it means you don't want to, but if you just lack a little confidence, then I will support your decision unconditionally."

Eleanor seemed to be waiting for this sentence. She nodded repeatedly and a smile appeared on her lips again.

"I feel relieved if you say that!"

After all, they have known each other for almost two years, so Ji Ming believes that he can still grasp this girl's personality.

She is not strong in other aspects, but the subjective initiative brought by that obsession is extremely strong. Now that something has happened in the Western Territory, she can't just sit back and watch.

But after listening to her detailed description of her specific plan, Ji Ming, who pretended to be calm, was still secretly surprised.

Because you say she is radical, but the whole plan is well-reasoned and there is no major problem from beginning to end. It is obvious that it has been revised several times.

But you say she is conservative. The first thing she did was to ask for the king's order from His Majesty and lead her soldiers to personally march to the Western Border. If you don't know, you would think she was going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Moreover, no matter how comprehensive this plan is, it cannot change the most core and crucial issue - strength.

This is a magical world where the level gap is huge. The strong can really be able to defeat thousands of enemies. This cannot be changed by simple iron will.

Ji Ming had also seen the knight group in Eleanor's hands. Although they had been trained to some extent, they were still far from being a qualified army.

The average level is only twenty, and the total strength is just approaching ten thousand. Even with the pioneer technology to forcibly enhance the combat effectiveness, they are still far from being a match for the messenger cavalry.

To put it bluntly, if Eleanor went to the battlefield, her fate would be the same as Lord Xi's.

With a little luck, Ji Ming arrived in time and was able to harvest [Eleanor (defense broken)] who was suffering from PTSD and lying in bed in a daze all day.

If he was unlucky and failed to arrive in time, then Ji Ming would have to elbow An Yan's consciousness madly, forcing him to cosplay and admit that he was Eleanor.

What is substitute literature?

Ji Ming also felt that the latter ending was too cruel, so he shared his concerns with Eleanor.

Eleanor is not a fool. Lord Xi's disastrous defeat is right in front of her. How could she not know how big the gap in strength between the two sides is?

But after taking a deep breath, he still plucked up the courage, stared into Ji Ming's eyes for the first time after entering the room, and said seriously.

"When my father announced the formation of the Iron Legion, he publicly promised to rescue the people of the Western Territory, expel all the bandits from our land, and free them from their endless suffering."

"It is precisely because of this promise that the Ironclad Legion, which was established only a little over a year ago, has been able to achieve success in the Western Territory. They are well fed and well-fed, and wherever they go, the people are willing to risk their lives to help them."

"However, due to various reasons, my parents died before they could achieve this goal. Not only did the Iron Legion disband, but the people of the Western Territory also suffered for twenty years until today."

"I don't think I have any charisma. I'm stupid. I didn't achieve anything before I was 18. I was even complacent because I learned embroidery or a beautiful dance. I was just a useless vase."

"But just because I am the daughter of Marquis Changge and Princess Mengquan, many veterans of the Iron Legion came to me on their own initiative, working tirelessly and doing their best to help me, who had no foundation at all, gain a firm foothold in the Blackwater Territory."

"But there is no kindness without reason in this world, and no dedication without basis, so in return, as the new master of the Iron Legion, I think it is my responsibility and obligation to carry on my parents' legacy!"

"If the Deep Forest People hadn't invaded, I could have taken my time. As a princess of the kingdom and a lord, I could have fulfilled everyone's wishes little by little."

"But now, the people of the Deep Forest are attacking us, and the Western Territory is likely to fall completely! If I don't take action, my parents, everyone, and many other people will never be able to realize their expectations!"

At this point, tears were already streaming from Eleanor's eyes.

"So in the face of all this, if we continue to talk about life and death, we will… we will… we will let down so many people!"

"Hey, don't get excited, let's talk slowly."

Ji Ming sighed and was about to take the paper when he felt his hand being grabbed by a hand.

There was nothing she could do but change direction and obediently use her fingers to scrape away that drop of cold tear for Eleanor.

then……

Then, I don’t know whether she forgot or pretended to forget, but Eleanor not only did not let go of Ji Ming’s hand, but also secretly touched it a few times.

"Thank you."

Ji Ming:......

Alas, the children have grown up and started to have their own little thoughts.

But Eleanor didn't care what he was thinking, and suddenly asked after calming down the situation.

"By the way, Ji Ming, I know why everyone would help me, but why are you so nice to me?"

Ji Ming thought about it carefully and smiled slightly.

"Little princess, do you remember the first time we met?"

Eleanor was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled all the stupid things she had done after leaving the royal capital for the first time, and smiled awkwardly.

"Are you talking about more than a year ago, when we were in Sunshine City?"

"Yes, at that time you stopped me at the stairs and asked me to follow you mysteriously. I thought you were up to something, but you whispered to me, 'Since our teachers are friends, we should also be friends and natural allies.' Do you remember?"

"Uh……"

Eleanor made no answer, for she immediately drooped at the word friend.

But as a princess who already had enough confidence, she was still a little unwilling, so she asked.

"Is it... just because of this reason?"

"No, more than that. This is just the beginning. The point is all the efforts you made afterwards, including today, when you actually decided to sacrifice yourself for justice."

Ji Ming moved the hand that Eleanor had taken away a little forward and stroked her face with a few fingertips.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Eleanor, I like people who are willing to take responsibility, because I think all the good things in this world come from them."

"So when you choose to have the courage to do that, to do everything you can to be a better person, I will help you without hesitation."

Eleanor: “Is… is that so? So that’s how it is…”

Her face turned slightly red, and her breathing quickened a bit. Like a puppy, she couldn't help but rub against Ji Ming's palm.

Just as he was about to say what was in his heart, he saw Ji Ming's face change and he made a puzzled sound.

"Ok?"

Her dizzy head suddenly woke up and she subconsciously let go of Ji Ming's hand.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Strange, what's that on your ear?"

Ji Ming pretended to be curious, parted Eleanor's hair, and pinched the jewel earrings that she had secretly hidden inside.

"This... is... the earring."

"No, no, no, I think it looks a lot like... a lot like a summoning device?"

Although Eleanor didn't know that Ji Ming had already forced his strength back to the level of a creator. She knew that Ji Ming was a professional mystical wizard and was immediately shocked.

"No, no way! This was given to me by Fei... Her Majesty the Queen. There shouldn't be any problem with it!"

"Of course there is a problem! The problem is, if you are in danger in the West, how can I help you?"

"Uh... ah!"

Eleanor was already confused by Ji Ming's jumping words until she felt her earlobe suddenly go numb while feeling slightly hot.

Then, in a mirror brought out by Ji Ming, she saw that the ruby ​​inlaid in her earrings had turned into a dazzling gold.

"Since Philip, the sister-con, is willing to risk his own life to save Fia, then I can naturally be ready to save my allies at any time."

"I have put my power in it. If you need help, just touch it and I will appear immediately, no matter where I am."

This was such a surprise that Eleanor couldn't believe her ears and confirmed it again.

"really?"

"Of course it's true, and there's also..."

Lightning flashed from Ji Ming's hand again, and a very warm energy spread throughout Eleanor's body, lurking like another layer of subcutaneous fat.

"I'm afraid you won't have time to touch the earrings in a critical moment. I'll give you another layer of protection. It will automatically activate at the critical moment, which can buy you some time to operate."

The old Ji Ming certainly wouldn't have been able to do these fancy tricks, but who told him to have an AI prisoner who just wanted to survive? Although a lot of the local database was damaged, the remaining things were rich enough.

"Well, with these two layers of insurance, I can rest assured that you can go to the Western Territory. Daughter of the Changge family, since you have made up your mind, then proceed boldly!"

"Ok!"

Encouraged by Ji Ming, Eleanor, who had something on her mind, suddenly forgot everything and stood up excitedly to go out.

But this was Ji Ming's room, not her office. She subconsciously took a big step to the right, but hit her knee hard on the corner of the cabinet.

"Hey!"

This was a serious blow, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Ah this."

Ji Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he could only walk over quickly and signal her not to move in a hurry and let him check first.

Fortunately, after all, Eleanor is a great lord and has reached level 50 in experience. It is impossible that she suffered a fracture, it was just a bruise.

But the knee is the weak point of the human body after all. With this persistent pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, she had to walk with a limp at least for the time being.

but.

Princess Blackwater quietly entered the residence of the former Chosen One of Holy Light, and limped away after staying there for half an hour...

This can’t be! (If it gets out, it will feed a lot of tabloids)

So Ji Ming had to take action himself, applying medicine and activating blood circulation to help her remove the debuff in advance.

"Come on, take a walk if you are not sick."

But he was thoughtful. Eleanor, who had been staring at him for a long time, suddenly remembered what happened before, took two steps with her calves, and suddenly turned around.

"Ji Ming, you just said that you like people who are brave enough to take responsibility, right?"

Then he suddenly leaped and threw himself directly into the arms of the defenseless Ji Ming, leaned close to his ear and whispered.

"But I like you the most, brother~brother~"

Who can withstand starting from zero frame? Ji Ming was frightened to the point of almost making a sharp explosion.

Only then did he realize that his hesitation had wasted his time trying to change the subject, and Eleanor had the courage to make a move again!

"Uh, well, I..."

Moreover, he thought he understood Eleanor, but Eleanor had also tried to understand him, so he started with zero frame and threw out another super killing move.

"Brother, I've always wanted to know, am I the girl you like?"
