Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Looking back on the past, Duke Xiguang’s “curse” in this life actually started when he was still young.

From her family background to her talent, and even knowing each other since childhood, his fiancée, who was completely a perfect match for him, died inexplicably in an accident.

He was sad for two years because of this, but he had no choice but to formally marry an equally "suitable" wife due to the arrangement of his family.

He was a good person, but for some reason, from beginning to end, he consulted countless doctors, from the church to the public, and tried countless methods.

Until his wife died of a sudden and strange serious illness at the age of 40, neither of them was able to give birth to even a single child.

At this time, Xiguang's parents had also passed away. He inherited the title of Duke and officially became the master of this great family that had lasted for hundreds of years.

Although it stands to reason that because of his martial arts and abstinence, he still has a young and handsome face and extraordinary demeanor even in middle age.

The fact that she is a high-ranking official and is clearly single is enough for him to pick any daughter from the aristocratic families.

But perhaps because he was afraid, he still made various excuses under the pretext of being busy with work and delayed his remarriage for another three years.

The nobles may say that they act recklessly, but once you really sit in this position, you will realize that there is not much recklessness possible.

Xiguang had no other choice but to reluctantly find another girl under the urging of other family members and even the Sun King himself.

Although it was an old man and a young wife, the second wife was actually quite happy.

Because she is a lifelong princess who failed to survive the tribulation, a loser in the royal struggle.

So all in all, she felt that she had gotten the better deal this time and could continue to maintain her wealthy life instead of falling into destitution.

But Xiguang considered himself an uncle and felt guilty about harming the girl, and he was tormented with this guilt for a long time.

After marriage, he treated his wife even better, meeting all the requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

And this time they were lucky enough that just one year after their marriage, the princess successfully became pregnant, breaking the increasingly sensational rumors.

——God and heaven swear, our Xi family can finally have the next generation!

Then the princess had a difficult delivery, and her condition was so serious that she died before the baby was born, without even leaving a proper last word.

Duke Xiguang almost fainted when he heard this, but was brought back to life by the midwife's next words.

"Child, the child is still moving!"

"!!!"

In order to get the Lord to increase the reward tenfold in one go, several experienced aunts also became ruthless.

After a lot of effort, even using magic, I finally saved the young master's life.

At least the unfortunate Duke had an heir, which gave him some hope in his stumbling life.

To be honest, although Duke Xiguang is cursed and has a bad luck with his wife, rumors have spread throughout the capital.

But there is something in this world that is more terrifying than death, and that is the fear that a wealthy life will never return.

Therefore, there are still some noble ladies or princesses who are eager to turn the tables, eager to ascend to the top, eager to continue to maintain a luxurious life, and want to become the lord's second wife.

Even if I die, I'll just enjoy myself first!

But at this time, Xiguang had already become the leader of the Sword and Shield Faction and one of the most powerful people in the royal capital. He could no longer be influenced by others.

So no means no, and to this day, Duke Xiguang is still an old bachelor, maintaining his noble singleness.

And this young son who escaped death and managed to survive by chance was also very capable.

Not only is he a martial arts prodigy, but he is also self-disciplined and self-respecting like his father, and is a well-known pure love warrior.

Everyone said that he would most likely take over from his father and become the new leader of Sword and Shield!

——Hey, finally, the unlucky old Xiguang is finally going to enjoy his life!

But it turns out that it was just a dream.

Only three years after their marriage, Xiao Xiguang and his wife, who had just given birth, were killed in the family castle by a mysterious assassin.

And it really just ended, because when the furious old duke rushed over from the royal capital, he found that in the secret room that his son had desperately protected, his own grandson had not even washed off the mother's blood on his body!

The old man, who had suffered from family pain all his life, really collapsed this time. Fortunately, the Archbishop of Holy Light from the nearby church had arrived, and the little grandson was crying very loudly, which brought his soul back to life.

After regaining consciousness, the furious old duke tore the door of the secret room as if it were a piece of paper.

"check!"

"Check it for me! I want to see their heads!"

After that, there was a large-scale screening like a filter, from the fiefdom to the royal capital, everyone around, nearby, those who knew about it, and those who were implicated were all screened.

But even the king came forward to help, but still failed to find out who the murderer was, or should I say, who the murderers were!

It was during this process that the Duke of Arclight and the Duke of Dawnlight became enemies.

There is no other reason. As the leader of the money bag, the Duke of Arclight, who is capable and has reasons, will inevitably be suspected.

Tired of being harassed by all kinds of people, he went to the king to complain personally, asking Old Xiguang to stop going crazy, as he was almost going insane!

Xiguang: Lord Hu, fuck me!

Although Xiguang was so confused that he couldn't raise Huguang's son to let him feel the pain of losing a son.

But as revenge, he could easily give Hu Guang's family business Bang Bang a couple of punches and overthrow several of his caravans and hundreds of guards by himself.

Arclight: Aminus!

Unfortunately, the retaliation was useless. To this day, he still doesn't know who brutally killed his son and daughter-in-law.

So it’s no wonder that the old duke made a special trip. He is already old, and he was really afraid that the only child left by his son would be cut off again.

After talking about his grandson, Xiguang finally brought the topic back to business.

Who would have thought that the old duke would apologize first before speaking about this serious matter.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Chosen One, someone on our side made a fool of himself and felt so good about himself that he actually reached out to the church..."

I don't know whether it's true or not, but the lord put all the blame on the new nobles for targeting Berry and threatening the Chosen One.

They said that they were young and ignorant, and they were jealous that the girls had started playing cards and couldn't help but remind them to choose, so they wanted to find a reason to retaliate under the banner of factional conflicts.

But please rest assured, he suppressed the matter immediately. The Sword and Shield Faction would never push their friends away because of such a small matter. This is all a misunderstanding!

Ji Ming: Haha.

But the old lord has already said so much, can the Chosen One still hold on to this matter?

I can only generously say that I understand. Everyone in Sword and Shield is a good person from Asia. In fact, Watasi is also a good person. Good people don’t fight good people. Let’s roll sushi together, Minna-san!

The Duke of Xiguang was also a respectable man. He knew that this matter, on a larger scale, even concerned the distinction between divine authority and royal authority, and it was impossible to simply brush it off verbally.

He took the initiative to invite the chosen one to join his adventure team to the advanced area. We not only have experienced tour guides but also a large number of masters, who can ensure that he can level up clearly.

This was a kind of compensation for Ji Ming who had spent the whole afternoon wondering what the old man wanted to do. Ji Ming was also thinking about how to improve the efficiency of monster spawning after entering the advanced area, so naturally he was happy to go there again.

But when Duke Xiguang took out a [Royal Hunting Ground Experience Distribution Map] that should not exist, but existed, the situation underwent some subtle changes.

Because if the compensation just now was to push him back to neutral, now it is tantamount to trying to pull him to the sword and shield side.

But Ji Ming had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Huiguang, and it was even more impossible for him to choose sides between the sword and shield and the money bag.

I am here to save the world and fight directly against Xiyue as the main force.

What's the difference between this kind of shit and humans lying on the ground and using their teeth and nails to help stray dogs fight downstairs?

Naturally, Tang Yi ate the bomb and fought back, taking a bottle of spirit gathering liquid as a return gift, and returned this "friendship" on the spot.

However, in order to avoid the other party from thinking too much, he hinted that he felt the same way about the Money Bag Faction as well and there was no way he would accept any solicitation from any party.

I also made it clear that after I finish teaching at St. Valentine's College this semester, I will leave the capital and travel to other places.

——Just continue to act like a fool. I won’t keep you company!

But Xiguang has met too many people in his life, and he generally assumes that verbal promises like this are not valid.

However, he did not dwell on this matter any more. He found an excuse that it was getting late and time waited for no one, and set off with Ji Ming.

As for Uncle Berry...

"I have sent people to assist him. Don't worry, I will never let them encounter any accidents."

He is a thoughtful old man!

I have to say that the advanced area is an advanced area. After passing through the huge gate reinforced by magic, the quality of wild monsters suddenly improves.

Because they had not walked for long when a scout came to report that they had found a lion that had just reached adulthood, but was over twenty levels high, ahead.

By the time they arrived at the lair, the target had been beaten to a pulp by the thugs, lying on the ground with blood oozing from his mouth.

"Okay!"

It's a pity that the grandson of Xiguang family who guards the house does not have the bearing of the older generation of his family.

This kid was making a lot of noise along the way, and from time to time he wanted to say something sarcastic to Ji Ming. He was not much different from other troublemakers on campus.

But after cheering, before he could pick the peaches, he was stopped by the old lord beside him.

He could only stare at his grandfather in confusion and raise his hand to signal the Chosen One.

"Ji Shenxuan, you are the guest today, how about you treat me to this first prize?"

"Uh, okay."

Ji Ming was not polite either. Under the resentful gazes of his two grandsons, he raised his knife and chopped off the lion's head.

[Experience +200]

Wow, this experience is really exciting.

Even though the experience points he needed to upgrade had now exceeded six thousand, it had still increased visibly.

This feeling of having everything arranged clearly by others is really refreshing. Ji Ming does not need to do anything himself during the whole process, he just needs to wait for his thugs to deliver the prey to him.

The benefits of Xiguang's choice to set out in the evening gradually became apparent. The wild animals that might have wandered around during the day mostly stayed in their dens, making it very convenient for them to call out their names one by one according to the map.

So in just one night, Ji Ming successfully upgraded to the next level and finally reached the 60th level, ready to prepare for the advancement.

As for the grandson, whose level was originally only over ten, he made great progress and was promoted four levels in one breath.

Looking at the rising sun among the mountains, Ji Ming couldn't help but sigh that it was great to be rich and upgrading could be so easy.

However, this small temple in the royal hunting ground has welcomed too many pilgrims today.

Even if the mountain gate is only opened twice a year, the stored porridge and food is not enough for everyone to share.

This time, they had already taken advantage of many prey that might have been targeted by others for a long time, which is why they achieved such a beautiful effect.

But now, after one night, those easier-to-get resources in the advanced area must have been snatched away by everyone.

What's left is either an empty display plate or a tough nut to crack.

This was indeed the case. They searched several resource points according to the map in the morning, but most of them were in a mess, obviously having been taken over by someone.

And the high-quality monsters that were fortunately not discovered by others...

What a joke! They are not the lucky protagonists of the cool novels, so naturally they didn’t notice it.

Moreover, so many humans rushed into the Luoshen Mountains overnight. The magical beasts living on the outskirts, unless they were complete fools, would have fled and hid deep into the mountains.

Among those who stayed, there were some who were at level 30 or even level 40, and they were considered top predators in the outer area of ​​the mountain range, just waiting for humans to deliver food to them.

Therefore, only a very small number of them could be blocked by the thugs of the Xiguang family and turned into actual results.

Most of the experience went into Ji Ming's pocket.

There was no other way. After all, he was at least level 30 on paper, but actually he was at level 60. It was too easy for him to kill the dying beast with a good weapon. It could only be done with one sword.

But even though the little grandson had eaten a huge meal, he is now only level 16 at best.

Not only did he choose a mage as his profession, he also secretly added some charm, which made his already scarce energy and health even worse.

So even if the Warcraft had been beaten to death and lay there like a dead dog, it would be difficult for him to take its life.

Of course, he could also ask his thugs to help him cut open the necks or chests of these monsters so that he could directly saw through their throats and hearts to improve efficiency.

But people have to have dignity and trees have to have bark. Doing this is too shameful!

After all, he is the descendant of old Xiguang, and he is a stubborn young master, so he kept gritting his teeth.

Even if I have to step on it like a butcher and get covered in blood, I must chop off the beast's head with my own hands today. This is the bottom line!

Then it took more than ten minutes, and my arms were shaking, before I could finally cut through the thick flesh and touch the organs inside.

Ji Ming (Sweating Soybeans).

He finally realized that this kid was now immersed in the fantasy of a teenager, competing with himself, who he thought was his opponent!
