Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, Tenis first pointed to the holy mountain in front of him, which was still shining brightly even in the darkness, and then pointed to the huge city behind him, which was built on the horizon.

"When you live long enough, you'll see a lot of messy things. I've been wandering between these two sides for more than five hundred years, and I've witnessed the rise and fall of too many superiors."

"To sum it up simply, it's three sentences: it's ugly when you climb up, it may not look good when you're on top, and it will definitely be ugly when you roll down."

"So, as her teacher, I don't want Eleanor to get involved in royal assessments, bullshit princesses, or ridiculous fiefdoms. Those are not good things at all and are unnecessary! Anyway, I have saved up a lot over the years, which is definitely enough for her to live a happy life."

"But there's nothing we can do. She's the daughter of the Changge family. She has responsibilities that she must shoulder. She can't escape her fate even if she tries to run away. She has no choice but to face it with all her might."

"But you are different."

At this point, Tenis's voice changed.

"Ji Ming, you are just an ordinary person. You don't have anything to bear. Even if Bulova has something to bear, it is her unfulfilled duty as an elf sage. These things cannot fall on a human like you, so you don't need to get involved in such complicated and disgusting things. You just need to..."

"I have."

This sudden remark made Tenis, who was in the middle of a long speech, stunned for a moment.

--"ah?"

So Ji Ming emphasized it again.

"I said I do. I have things I need to take on, must take on, and want to take on."

He pretended to be thinking with his head down, but he was actually secretly flipping through his friend list.

"And it may be more than Eleanor's."

Tenis still didn't understand his riddle, but when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she found that she actually knew very little about Ji Ming.

……

Ji Ming, who should be in his twenties this year, was once an unknown quack doctor in the outer city of Sunshine City. He learned some elf fighting skills from Bulova to protect himself, and successfully made a fortune by using the ancestral magic potion that became more and more effective.

Later, relying on some internal connections with the Chamber of Commerce, he moved to the inner city, gained a foothold in the chaos, and finally completed the transformation from a pawn to a chariot, horse, and cannon, becoming one of the many celebrities in Sunshine City.

Originally, his life might have ended here, but after going to the Holy Light Church, he suddenly became the Chosen One of Holy Light, rising to the top overnight, directly ascending from chariots, horses, and cannons to chess players on both sides of the chessboard, and even qualified to be a spectator who has nothing to do with the matter.

After that came the Battle of Sunshine City, where he defeated the incarnation of the God of Shadows with the help of God's descent, and finally followed him north, publishing a new discipline on the way. Now he is about to climb the Sun-Chasing Peak and become the true Chosen One of the Church.

It seemed as if everything was traceable, following a path of development that followed one step at a time. Apart from the luck of being "chosen by God", which she had to curse as shameless, there was nothing inexplicable.

But here’s the thing, because all of this happened in less than five months.

For an old succubus like me, it was just a blink of an eye. I don't know how it happened, but he jumped out with a "pop".

What’s even more terrifying is that a person who can transform into a flying monkey in just over four months came from the “East” where no one knows where.

His past was a complete mystery. The only clues were about his master, being expelled from the sect, and crossing deserts and seas, and they were all his vague opinions.

Including the Soul Holy Throne, which was extremely suspicious but was trusted by the God of Holy Light and agreed to form an alliance. Ji Ming seemed to have an unclear relationship with it.

Among the pioneers who were only responsible for dispatching but not for subsequent actions, many were "Orientals" similar to Ji Ming, and they had their own civilization and culture.

To sum up, a rising and falling thread finally emerged in Tenis's chaotic thoughts. She quickly grabbed it and pulled it out, and found that the thread below was connected to...

With a muffled groan, the Archbishop's aura seemed to change in an instant. She silently adjusted the position of her right hand as if preparing to grab something, while hiding her eyes with her hair.

But he acted as if nothing had happened.

"Um, Ji Ming, you said you were from the East, right?"

"Uh……"

To be honest, Ji Ming actually regretted making up such a background for himself.

Because every time he heard someone mention this, he felt like he was playing some kind of difficult bullet-hell shooting game, and Niuzi had run away from home.

However, what you say with your own mouth is, in any case, the objective facts that constitute your personal identity. Trying to understand the setting from this point of view is likely to lead to a major collapse of lies.

So even though he was wondering why the other party suddenly asked this, Ji Ming could only admit it.

"Yes, I am from the East."

The archbishop nodded slightly and then asked.

"Well, so this East you're talking about... where is it?"

"it is at……"

Now Ji Ming was stuck again.

Old lady, you are indeed the Holy Light Succubus, you are so despicable. This is a big problem, you almost kicked my vest off.

After all, apart from the larger main continent and the smaller sub-continent, Yangyue Star only has some desolate and wild islands of various sizes, scattered across the vast ocean as embellishments of the land.

Although there are still some small human settlements among them, they are all primitive tribes that are still watching the gorillas and crocodiles baring their teeth. They are thankful that they can understand what human ethics are.

Therefore, they, who have all dropped out of prenatal education, are actually quietly waiting for the arrival of the Age of Discovery. Fortunately, with the great virtue of advanced civilization, they live a happy life like the mule, horse and kneeling tribe, which at least has nothing to do with civilization.

However, Ji Ming had no idea what Yangyue Star was like at the beginning, and he thought it was like some traditional fantasy world, with a mysterious oriental empire in the background to introduce important cultural components such as silk and porcelain.

Who knew this was possible, but Yang Yue really didn't have it, so now he doesn't have a suitable explanation to explain the existence of "the East".

[If it really doesn't work, refer to the legend of Atlantis on Earth. It happens that there was a sea god in the eastern archipelago in ancient times. You can say that you are under his protection and have lived in the underwater city for generations, and then...]

The young boss was still teaching Ji Ming how to save the lie, when Tenis, who was standing by, saw that he had not answered for a long time, he suddenly spoke.

"Ji Ming, I have lived for so many years and I think I have read quite a lot, but I have read a lot of books recently, but I have not found any records or legends about the Eastern countries and the black-haired and brown-eyed people."

Wait, this beginning...

Damn it, no way!

However, what you fear will come to you, that was the archbishop’s next words.

"Ji Ming, you guys aren't from Yangyue at all, right?"

She was obviously testing him, so her speech became slower and slower.

"Where exactly are you from? From another dimension? From another planet? Or..."

Having said this, Tenis, who had already revealed some of her succubus nature and whose tone could be described as persuasive, suddenly stopped talking.

It’s not that she wanted to show off the art of leaving blank space or riddles, but she found that after a moment of trance in her mind, she had lost control of her body!

However, Ji Ming in front of him still looked nonchalant, as if he had not noticed anything. He had one hand in his pocket, holding something, and talked freely.

"Tell me, why is this old lady so angry? I don't question the importance of Eleanor's responsibility. I just don't like you excluding me."

"I have fought side by side with her twice, and I saved her life at Jueqiao Pass. We are friends for life. You are really disheartening to say this."

But he complained slowly, bringing the rapidly deteriorating topic back to the field of safety.

At the same time, he had already mobilized a huge amount of mental power and began to transmit information to Tenis's mind.

[Don't mention those two words. It has always been observing this place from outside Yangyue. If you say it, we will definitely be watched. It's very dangerous! ]

In fact, he did not completely restrict Tenis's thinking ability, but the other party did not react at all when he heard it, and did not even make a meaningless sound.

???

Could it be that I was too harsh and damaged the old lady's brain?

No, the old lady would beat me to death if she knew!

Fortunately, it didn't take long before a response came from Tenis.

[You... you are so rebellious! Take back your spiritual power! How rude! ]

Logically speaking, succubi use mental magic to play with the minds of their prey in order to achieve their own goals.

Although Tenis had no such need, she had naturally used this method to obtain intelligence before she retired.

So she never thought that there would be a day when she would be controlled by someone else's mind, especially in her old age when she had gone through hundreds of years of hardships and was about to enter her final years.

Therefore, she was not actually thinking, nor was she pretending to be dead and observing, but she was really frightened.

——It’s over. What if he flips through my secrets? What if he controls my body and does something bad?

In an instant, she even suddenly realized why the succubus, a race that is almost full of charm, is still loved and hated by the world, and is difficult to be accepted by the public.

Because this feeling of insecurity is so terrifying, it is more terrifying than public execution in public.

She even had to thank this natural gift of increasing charm, which gave them more options whether in daily socializing or escaping in critical moments.

After all, the beholder, who is also good at mental magic but has a charm debuff, is almost being killed in the Yangyue world because of his big eyes that make him look wretched.

However, the old lady knew what was important and did not continue to dwell on the matter openly, but continued to follow Ji Ming's words.

After several topics have been raised, the message will be passed on again.

【how's it going? 】

[I braked quickly, and Xieyue didn't notice that we were discussing topics other than Yangyue]

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and then continued asking.

[I know the existence of Mechanical Moon, and I also know its purpose, so I still want to ask, are you really from outside Yangyue, and what is your purpose? ]

Before Ji Ming could say anything, he saw the little boss in his field of vision start to madly send [QWQ].

[Oh my god, there are creatures in this world who care about their mother's life or death? I will show off this good news to the Earth Lord!]

……Why.

[The Lord of Living Things is not actually a local god. He is an existence from a higher-dimensional universe. I and those pioneers were all led down from the upper realm by Him.]

Yang Yue: [Okay, it’s still a lie, I knew it]

Ji Ming: [Yang Yue, shut up]

[As for our purpose, believe it or not, we came here because we were invited by an important person who hopes that we can save this magical world that is about to collapse]

Tenis obviously didn't expect such a bizarre answer, and it was a long time before he sent another message.

[You mean, to fight against Mechanical Moon? ]

[Of course, this is our ultimate goal]

"I see……"

It just so happened that the open conversation was coming to an end, so Tenis used one sentence to represent the end of both topics at the same time.

She huddled dejectedly on the stone, sighing for a long time.

"Ji Ming, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

But when Ji Ming approached, what he heard was not the archbishop's order, but the old lady's own narration.

"Ji Ming, although I am a succubus with pure bloodline and basically a king-level bloodline, the weirdness will eventually die out, so I am now old and will not live much longer."

"I've missed many people in my life, but there are only two people who I've been with till the end. One is Blois. I'm really worried that she'll waste herself to death. Fortunately, you're here. I should be able to live longer."

"The other one is Eleanor. Those two silly kids entrusted her to me. Fortunately, her big event will be settled in May this year. This rich and powerful young lady will never suffer any loss in her life."

"so what……"

Ji Ming quickly assured.

"Don't worry, the old lady is my mentor, I will definitely respect her well. Eleanor is also my good sister who has been through thick and thin with me, I will definitely not let her be harmed by others!"

"No... Well, okay, I feel relieved after hearing what you said, but, mainly, I still..."

Having said that, Tenis suddenly grabbed Ji Ming's collar and pulled him in front of him.

"Now that I have explained these two things, there is nothing left for me to worry about in this life! My last wish is to live out these last few days and breathe my last! Then, I will be buried on the holy mountain in glory as a veteran of who knows how many dynasties, and be worshipped together with the younger generations."

"So, if you dare to control my mind again, damn it, I might end up in trouble in my old age. I'm serious! You... remember! I'm a big succubus, ah! Don't think you're so steadfast and won't be tempted. I'm telling you, I have plenty of ways to make you go down in history, ah! Remember that!"
