As early as when the demon thief Biro pulled the thief Jairo and the snake girl to chat privately and conspire together, Zhou Ming knew that in the face of huge interests, even the pure and kind Holy Mother had the possibility of degenerating into a hellish devil.

What are the benefits and promises that the Demon Thief Biro promised to the Great Thief Jairo? Zhou Ming didn't know very well, but as an ordinary mercenary, even if he had some gold coins and subordinates in hand, if he wanted to develop this new continent, even if he gave the Demon Thief Biro another hundred years, he might not be able to make any reputation, but he felt good about himself and thought that he could really dominate this continent.

Zhou Ming was different, he pulled the thief Jairo and the snake girl to him, and said to the thief Jairo: After returning to the Grand Territory, in addition to the reward of 100,000 gold coins and being promoted to a legendary mercenary, he will also be given the position of vice president of the mercenary trade union - this is the most valuable thing that Zhou Ming can take out immediately.

There was also a promise that when he became a duke or a king, he would grant the thief Gero the title of earl and a domain.

For this promise, the thief Jairo can express doubts, doubting whether Zhou Ming can fulfill it, but compared to the promise made by his cousin Demon Thief Biro: After killing the snake girl, half of their brothers in this continent have a higher probability of realizing it - becoming a nobleman is the last dream they want to say about being a mercenary who talks about loving freedom, but in fact hides it deep in their hearts (when they were thieves too).

Biro is his cousin...... It's just a cousin, and it's not a brother who has been playing since childhood, this cousin is not even as important as the snake girl's position in his heart.

As for the snake woman...... As early as after this woman saved her life, Zhou Ming, who had already figured it out, hugged each other on a beautiful night not long after, and this woman who was like a snake and scorpion at the center of the rumors, but was actually just wearing a protective shell outside her kind heart, confided in each other about the past.

Two days ago, she ran over with some shame and said that she seemed to have a ......

Therefore, the capable, smart, ambitious and ruthless Mr. Biluo who fell to the ground, although it ended in a fiasco in this comprehensive competition, Zhou Ming decided that if this Mr. Biluo was given a higher starting point and a better development platform, his final achievements should not be much worse than his own in the previous life.

……

Mid-November.

Zhou Ming and the others quickly rode from the Tongshan Kingdom, passed through the war-torn Iron Fort Kingdom, and returned to the Gran Territory in the dust, and brought a sensational news to this territory that has undergone a lot of changes in the past two years.

"Knights Edward are back, and they've completed their mission to explore a new world!"

"How did they do it?"

"What's behind the Ural Snow Mountains? Is there really a man-eating devil?"

"Can anyone ask Knight Edward how he managed to climb over the Ural Mountains, and can you tell us how he got over it?"

“……”

The resounding voices in the mercenary unions, taverns, and dusty places have made the new world behind the Ural Snow Mountains the hottest topic of this winter.

Zhou Ming, who returned to the castle, as soon as he entered the castle, was greeted not by the thunderous laughter of the servants and the smiles of relatives and friends, but by an indescribable strange atmosphere.

Zhou Ming didn't care, went straight to his wife Fanny's room, saw Fanny who was breastfeeding, and hugged the one-year-old child in her somewhat reluctant expression.

I pulled my pants open and looked at the parts underneath.

No.

Or a daughter.

"Woo~"

At this time, a burst of crying came, and Zhou Ming, whose expression was a little stiff, turned his head to look and saw his wife covering her face with a silk scarf, and cried with a whimper.

"It's okay, it's the same for boys and girls, and I especially like girls. ”

After kissing his youngest daughter on the cheek twice, Zhou Ming patted Fanny on the shoulder and comforted her.

"Dear Edward, it's useless for me, I've already bore you three daughters, and I haven't even given birth to an heir for you, will you still love me, love me as you used to?" Fanny's tears were like a flood that had burst the embankment, and there was some self-reproach and some fear in her trembling voice.

"Love love love, of course love, you are my favorite wife and the person I cherish the most, without a boy, we can have another ......"

Putting his little daughter aside, Zhou Ming hugged his wife, put it in his arms and kissed her.

After a cloud and rain, stroking his wife who was still beautiful in his arms, Zhou Ming was quite irritable.

He is not sexist, it is the same for him to have a boy and a girl, as long as it is his child, he will treat them equally.

But the world doesn't see it that way.

The aristocracy of this world generally regards boys as the heirs of the inherited family, and attaches great importance to training, regardless of the cost.

Girls are generally regarded as tools for family marriage, and of course they will be cultivated, but the requirements are not as high as those of boys, and they only require knowledge and reasoning.

Therefore, any nobleman with a title and title, if there is no boy among the descendants, then the title and territory of the nobleman will be inherited by the person closest to him in accordance with the kinship, according to the inheritance order of the inheritance law, the eldest son is preferred, the second son is substituted, and in the case of the heir, he can choose someone to replace him in the branch, such as a cousin, etc., can be designated as the heir to the title in the will.

In the current Burns family, Zhou Ming is, of course, the eldest son whose status cannot be shaken, and after his father Baron Connor leaves, the ownership of the title territory belongs to him.

But......

Because Fanny has not yet given him a boy, in the family, his younger brother Donnie is still the second in line to the territory heir, once Zhou Ming is gone, if there is no male heir left behind (illegitimate children have no inheritance), everything in the entire Gran Territory will still be inherited by his younger brother Donnie, even if Fanny gave him ten or eight daughters, it is useless.

Not only that, the hellish system in Zhou Ming's head, in the calculation of the number of descendants of the game characters, only counts the female descendants of the lineage into the statistics, and the female descendants of non-lineage bloodlines, such as granddaughters and great-granddaughters, are not counted in the number of descendants.

"As soon as I returned to the castle, the servants looked at me strangely, and on the way I met Donnie, and saw him with a dodgy gaze, showing a weak heart......"

Hehe.

Zhou Ming, who had figured out some questions, sneered in his heart, it seemed that he had been traveling for less than two years, and some demons and monsters in the castle couldn't help jumping up and down.

The next day.

Training ground behind the castle.

"Eric, who made the palm print on your face, who is so bold as to do this to you in my absence?"

Baron Romont's second son, Eric, came to the Grand Castle four years ago and became Zhou Ming's knight squire, the master and apprentice have only been together for more than two years, but Zhou Ming admires the child's hard work and tenacity, and is smart and studious, although the child's future achievements will not surpass himself, but it is a big cut above some knights with ordinary qualifications, there is no problem.

Today, Zhou Ming, who was about to assess whether his work had regressed during his absence, saw the incomparably clear five-finger red mark on his face, and was furious.

"Say, who did it!" Seeing that Eric didn't squeak, Zhou Ming asked with a shout.

"It's... It's Master Donnie......"

Eric had to tell the truth of the matter, it turned out that during the time when Zhou Ming went out to explore, but he didn't come back for a year, Donnie spread the news among the servants that "no one who went to the Devil's Mountain could not return", which made the people of the castle panic.

Not only that, Donnie's idea actually hit Zhou Ming's personal maid Alice, asking to transfer Alice to him and make him a maid, but without his father's approval, he repeatedly harassed her.

A few days ago, after seeing Donnie pulling Alice's clothes and doing some more and more daring behavior, 15-year-old Eric stepped forward to say a few words and escorted Alice out of the room, only to be slapped hard by the angry Donnie.

"Donnie, Donnie, whether it's in the previous life or in this life, your habit of eating probably can't be changed! Okay, I'll send you to the place where the is the most to eat!"

A week later, with a letter of recommendation from the earl, Donnie, who was suddenly invited to study at the Royal Capital Academy, shook his hands and stomped his feet, rolled coquettishly, and even hugged his mother, Madame Madeleine, and cried, but could not stop the two knights from putting him in the carriage, and finally left the Gran Collar in a terrible cry......
