Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Ji Ming was a down-to-earth person, and he told her very frankly that he had performed Holy Light purification on Eleanor, which suppressed the dragon disease from a soul perspective.

But since even people on Earth use medicine both internally and externally, so...

"Although Holy Light Purification is powerful, in order to minimize the impact of Dragon Disease on your mind, I think it is best to supplement it with oral medication."

Eleanor thought for a moment.

"You mean... the fourth generation of rejuvenation?"

"Yes, and with your ability, it shouldn't be a problem to get the fourth generation of rejuvenation and drink it as a beverage, right?"

"Uh... maybe? I do have some sources where I can get a lot of it."

Ji Ming suddenly recalled how he was chased and beaten by players during the closed beta and internal beta tests...

Damn it, why are you so popular!

However, Ji Ming was a good person to the end, and finally took out a large box of spirit gathering liquid from his storage ring.

"How about this, let's have a double insurance. In case of emergency, drink this. It's very strong and can suppress many curses."

Eleanor, who was hidden by the big wooden box: “Yeah!”

Now that the dragon disease has been completely suppressed, the next work will be easy.

But the Blackwater Territory was in a state of disrepair and there were indeed many things to do, so the two of them were still busy until sunset before they finally completed today's mission.

Eleanor stretched happily and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's great to have someone to help. Usually I finish work at midnight, but I didn't expect it to be so early today!"

"Yeah, that's great..."

But Ji Ming, who was on summer vacation, was in jail today, so he dared not stay here any longer and quickly got up and left.

"Wait a moment."

As a result, before he even left the house, he was stopped by Eleanor.

"Ji Ming, I forgot to ask you, how many days do you plan to stay in Black Water Territory?"

How many days?

Oh awesome, so you were planning to let me work as a long-term laborer, right?

Ji Ming was really scared this time and quickly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but my study tour isn't over yet. There are still many places I haven't visited. I'm afraid I can't stay here."

Eleanor didn't expect this answer. She paused for a moment and sighed.

"Well...it's getting late, how about you stay here tonight before leaving?"

Ji Ming: “Uh uh.”

If it were in the past, he would have been so eager to get a meal from someone that he would tear the word "good" to pieces, but after what happened just now...

Ha, never mind.

"It's hard to say. Now that I'm here, I actually plan to go see the Archbishop. Maybe... I don't have time to come back?"

Eleanor opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed her words back into her stomach.

Just a muffled sound.

"it is good."

Seeing this, no matter how thick-skinned Ji Ming was, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Oh, let's wait until next time. Next time I will definitely stay a few more days! Ah, there is a long time to come. Let's go!"

After a simple sketch, he quickly left the Earl's Castle and, despite the old lady's glare, asked her to take him to the church construction site.

There was no problem with the Archbishop. The old man had lived a long time and seen a lot. He had some experience in everything, so he was naturally methodical when it came to carrying out the project.

She was also surprised to see Ji Ming, and pulled him aside to ask about Luoshen Mountain for a long time. Then she emphasized again the truth that "When your parents are still alive, you should not travel far away, and if you do travel, you must have a plan."

Tenis chattered for a long time before finally stopping and telling Ji Ming something that surprised him greatly.

——In order to help Eleanor gain fame, she plans to return to society, with Blackwater Territory as the core, and serve as the next Archbishop of the East.

Logically speaking, this is against etiquette. After all, any discerning person can see that the archbishop wants to use his ecclesiastical authority to endorse the princess's royal power and protect the student.

But considering Tenith's advanced age as a succubus, perhaps this will be her last in her lifetime.

Therefore, whether it was the church leaders or the nobles, basically everyone who had received her care, chose to remain silent.

So when she proposed that Ji Ming could serve as the honorary bishop of the Heishui Diocese, Ji Ming really couldn't find any words to refuse.

The old lady has already risked her life to join the game. As the savior, why shouldn’t I flash and follow?

After agreeing to Tenis's request, Ji Ming was afraid of further trouble, so he did not stay here any longer and left Blackwater Territory overnight.

In the next few days, he visited several noble lords who were busy wrangling with conscription officers and trying to piece together their armies.

The journey was actually quite smooth, but when he was about to leave the East Territory and was having dinner at a small restaurant, he met an acquaintance again.

All I can say is that they are all smart people, and everything is self-explanatory. Ji Ming smiled at him and raised his glass.

"Just arrived?"

Prince Philip smiled and sat opposite him.

"fate!"

Although Ji Ming kept a low profile along the way, he occasionally left some clues on purpose.

Sometimes it is a Pegasus flying across the sky, sometimes it is an oriental face, and sometimes it is a small medicine bottle specially made by him.

A fool passing by would certainly not care about these trivial matters, and a person without power would not be able to collect these small clues scattered everywhere.

Only those ruthless people who are smart enough and have power covering a large area can deduce Ji Ming's movement trajectory and intercept him.

But I didn't expect that after working for so long, there was only one big fish caught, and it was one that had been caught and touched a long time ago.

...Forget it, it doesn’t matter, as long as I don’t fail.

Just caught, not big, over 100 jin.jpg

And there was also some good news. For example, the big fish was indeed sincere and even brought an extra small one for Ji Ming.

That’s right, Philip had probably noticed his presence a long time ago, and this time he brought Fia with him again.

Besides, the prince was a respectable man. After three glasses of wine, he began to express his gratitude for Ji Ming's help in helping Fia overcome the tribulation.

Ji Ming tried to be polite but was interrupted by him raising his hand.

"I know you are doing this more to help Princess Eleanor, but she is my Fia's biggest competitor this year."

"So you helped her get the recommendation and added an extra spot. Isn't that equivalent to giving the promotion opportunity to Fia?"

"And you clearly passed by our territories before, but because you were too low-key, there was nothing we could do. We didn't meet you twice."

"Now that we finally know you're here, it's right for us brothers and sisters to come and see you in person!"

Look, how decent he is in speaking and doing things!

And there is a reason why the Arclight family can firmly hold the financial power of the kingdom. At least in the area of ​​education, they are absolutely at their best.

So Fia was also very smart. After her brother finished his polite words, she, as the person involved, also expressed her gratitude in person.

It is not advisable to hit a smiling person, let alone they came from far away to establish a relationship with him. Ji Ming couldn't refuse and started chatting with them.

But everyone was not children anymore, so what else could they talk about? Naturally, they started talking about the governance of Fia's fiefdom.

In fact, considering the extent of Philip's sister complex, he must be eager to have a little more of his own territory connected to himself.

But even the most impoverished nobles would not give up their fiefdoms, so where the nobles would be granted fiefdoms was not something even the king could decide.

Therefore, even though Philip had tried his best, the place where Fia was enfeoffed was still several miles away from him.

In this case, the prince must be worried. He is afraid that if Fia cannot govern the fiefdom, is bullied by others, or even gets into trouble and is impeached, what should he do?

After much thought, he simply selected a few cadres from his own team to form a small leadership team, and followed Fia to her fiefdom.

Ji Ming was numb when he heard this, thinking, "Wow, this can be taken care of!?"

Now, rather than saying that Philip helped Fia to win the position of princess, it would be more accurate to say that he created a branch for himself.

It sounds pretty good, right? But no matter what, this fiefdom belongs to "Princess Fia" instead of "Prince Philip" in name.

And because of some historical reasons, it is an absolute taboo for nobles to try to control the fiefdoms of other nobles in any way.

Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion and to avoid being accused of plotting rebellion by other members of the royal family, he really did not gain a penny and had to lose money!

So although Philip had no objection to his behavior of providing billions of subsidies to support his sister, his subordinates could not hold back.

There is no way, he is willing to spend money for his sister, but everyone still expects their master to become king in the future!

You haven't achieved enlightenment yet, and you're bleeding yourself like this. How can everyone else achieve enlightenment in the future?

However, the situation was not so bad, after all, Fia had a classmate named Eleanor.

Although they are all princesses and came to the fiefdom at the same time, Fia has the connections of her brother and grandfather, and the location and tax revenue of the territory are also very good.

And what about Eleanor? The land was in ruins, and she had to face the encirclement and suppression of domestic and foreign opposition forces. If it weren't for the archbishop's protection, who knows what would have happened.

So if all else fails, let’s just compare who is worse - look at that kid next door, he’s not as good as me!

However, anyone who has played a certain map coloring game knows that the greater the debuffs a player has at the beginning, the stronger his strength will be after he is untied.

Especially since Eleanor was a child who was good at learning, she successfully absorbed from Ji Ming the wisdom of just saying "I am a barbarian" if things really don't work out.

therefore.

"Hey, you don't want me to come to the table, right? Then I'll just cook at home!"

Now, after blatantly gathering the remnants of the Iron Army, she directly stood with the pioneers and rushed into the industrial age.

As time went by, Blackwater Territory suddenly became even more lively than Fia's Far Mountain Territory. The coins that came in were so numerous that they could never be spent!

Philip: “Ah, this.”

Therefore, Philip was really under a huge amount of pressure during this period, and for a while he didn't even know what to do.

Moreover, he really couldn't save his face. As a prince, it was not easy for him to ask Princess Eleanor for advice, so he had to come to Ji Ming who had just left Blackwater Territory.

"Ji Shenxuan, you are a rare kind person, and you are also the friend I want to make from the bottom of my heart. Can I get some advice from you to break the impasse?"

Ji Ming thought about it for a moment and finally gave in.

"Since you envy others for what they have, but don't know what to do with it, then just use the dumbest method - combine your own reality and cross the river by feeling your way."

"Cross...across the river?"

Unfortunately, there is no such story on Yangyue's side, and no matter how smart Philip is, he can't understand Yangyue's thoughts.

There was no other way, Ji Ming had to split the sentence into parts.

"What I mean is that you should analyze and study how the Blackwater Territory did it, and then think about what you would do if it were you."

……

"Well, since I really like you guys, I'll give you a more specific suggestion. Give me the map!"

Philip quickly took out a map of the Glowing Kingdom. Perhaps he often stared at this thing and felt worried. There was a big circle on the distant mountain collar of Fia.

"Look, this is Eleanor's Blackwater Territory. Do you know why pioneers are immigrating and investing here like crazy?"

He wanted to test Fia's level, so he looked directly at her. Seeing this, Philip shut up and gave her the chance to speak.

Fia: ???

Maybe she was really spoiled by Philip. Fia didn't expect that she would have to participate in the discussion of her own affairs. She was stunned for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"Because... because this place is located in the southeast corner, close to the sea, it can do business with us and the Lingxi people at the same time?"

It was not Ji Ming's turn to correct him, as Philip immediately shook his head.

"More than that, the bigger reason, or the simplest reason, is that the nobles in the East and North are unwilling to accept them."

"Yes, this is the root of it!"

Ji Ming nodded and then said.

"But as we all know, no matter how strong a person is, walking on one leg is definitely unstable. No one wants their career to suffer a serious setback, so..."

He took his finger away from the air above Blackwater Territory and placed it in the circle drawn in the northeast of the map.

Now everyone understood, but neither Philip nor Fia dared to speak.

After three breaths, it was Fia who spoke first.

She gritted her teeth and spoke quickly, as if she had made a great effort.

"Okay, let's do it!"

"no!"

But before she could finish her words, Philip rejected her suggestion out of the blue.

Perhaps he felt that he was being a little rude, so he paused awkwardly before continuing.

"Ji Shenxuan, although Feiya and I are both nobles of the capital, Yuanshan Territory is located in the hinterland of the northeast. The pioneers are rejected by the nobles of both territories. If we choose to accept them, we will most likely be ostracized by everyone."

"And I admit that the pioneers are powerful and wise, but they are outsiders after all, and they are quite exclusive to the nobles. We... after all, we are also part of the noble group. Can we really choose to trust them?"
