Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 418: There is no cure, no hope, just wait to die

But this is also a good thing. If the Sun King didn't even have this little bit of thought, then there would be no point in using rhetoric to cure his illness.

Therefore, after the maids closed the door and left, the first sentence Ji Ming said was.

"Your Majesty, this curse was definitely cast by someone close to you, and it has been planned and arranged for some years."

"..."

The Sun King, who had been full of anticipation, suddenly took a deep breath and wondered how this God's Chosen One could raise people's blood pressure so much.

"Isn't it useless for you to say this?!"

Pause and calm down.

"I don't have much else around me, but I have a lot of women. I can't even remember who the mothers of many of my children are. How do you plan to investigate?"

Facing the king's rage, Ji Ming had no reaction. He just raised his eyebrows and asked a confusing question.

"Really?"

"what!"

The Sun King couldn't help laughing, and only frowned after he finished laughing.

"Of course it's fake! I know every one of them inside out. I will never let the royal bloodline be stolen by some shady guy!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly.

"After all, I don't want to be out for a stroll one day and suddenly be approached by some inexplicable guy claiming to be his father. These are the bloody lessons of our ancestors..."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

So Ji Ming took out a notebook from his arms and quickly wrote down the activation effects of [Siphon Trap].

"Come, please take a look. How many people around you meet the conditions for this activation?"

Taking the notebook, the Sun King glanced down, his expression changed, and he put his hand on it, as if he wanted to ask something, but before he could say anything, it turned into a sigh.

"This is true, you don't have to doubt it."

Who would have thought that the Sun King, who had been so sarcastic throughout and always held the initiative, would actually become a stutterer at this moment.

"I know this is true... For three years, he has been by my side, and I can see him every month... There are not many people like him..."

Ji Ming smelled something unusual and tried to persuade him with patience.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I……"

The Sun King shook his head subconsciously, then quickly stopped.

"This is my personal matter! The situation is very complicated, Mr. Chosen One...please do not interfere."

Well, it seems that there is indeed another hidden story behind this, and it is most likely a murder of passion that should not be made public.

Since he was like this, there was nothing Ji Ming could do, he could only obey.

"Okay, I'm a doctor. Now that I know all the details of the illness, it doesn't matter how the patient was injured. I won't ask, and we won't talk about it."

So after a brief moment of hesitation and shame and anger, the expression of this old fox, the Sun King, eased again.

"Can it be cured?"

Ji Ming pretended to think and spoke slowly.

"If you were thirty years younger, I would use ruthless tactics. Without destruction, there is no construction. I can cure you."

"If you had come to me a year earlier, I would have used a clever trick to hit the snake at its weakest point and it would have been cured."

The words were confusing, but the Sun King understood them instantly and sat down on the bed in a bad mood.

"Ha! What you mean is that I can't be cured now, right?"

Hey, the defense is broken already?
Ji Ming was quite excited about the rare high-end game, and he quickly increased his output while successfully breaking the armor.

"The root of the disease cannot be cured, but who says that a disease must be cured? In fact, sometimes, it is okay not to cure the root of the disease!"

It can only be said that fortunately the common language of the ancient land translated by the system does not have the same ambiguity as the Chinese language, otherwise the Sun King would not have just pounded the bed.

"Don't play dumb with me here. If you have any solution, just tell me directly. Death is the worst that can happen. I have been mentally prepared for it for so many years."

"Yes, my treatment is very simple..."

Although Old Sun's body is now too old and he can't withstand the saturation attack of applying talismans and injecting medicine like when he treated Adele, Ji Ming has not only used this method.

When treating the old lady, facing the fierce curse of God, he used a large amount of spirit-gathering liquid to hedge against it, and through the massive infusion of vitality, he forcibly created a blood-locking plug-in, successfully allowing her to survive wave after wave of fatal backlash.

Although the Sun King was an old human who indulged himself too much, he was no match for Blois, who had practiced asceticism for five hundred years, in terms of racial talent, personal will and mental state, and could not do such a heaven-defying act.

But there is no problem in keeping him alive like the ginseng soup in movies and TV dramas, so that he can live longer instead of dying suddenly.

Of course, Ji Ming certainly didn’t speak so bluntly. He felt that he had touched the other party’s bottom line, but he still spoke with high emotional intelligence.

The Sun King considered.

"Extend life... Tsk, is this really the only way?"

"Really, Your Majesty, for a body like yours that is riddled with wounds, this is already an almost impossible miracle."

The Sun King sighed deeply after Noriaki ruthlessly killed Hope.

"Come on, let me see your skills."

Before he could finish his words, a crystal bottle filled with red liquid appeared in front of him.

The Sun King took the medicine bottle and looked at the clear and transparent liquid inside through the candlelight. It looked like wine.

"What is this, an anesthetic?"

Ji Ming shook his head.

"You underestimate me. As a doctor, I, Ji Ming, never use backward things like anesthetics. I always use other skills."

But the Sun King seemed to be just asking casually, and didn't care at all what he said. He was still hesitating as he held the small bottle with his skinny fingers.

"What is this..."

Ji Ming was about to ask, "Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will poison you?", but then he felt relieved.

Yes, barefoot men are definitely not afraid of death. Only those who hold seals are afraid of death. Moreover, the bigger the seal and the harder the material, the more afraid they are of death.

So he stood up and waved to the door.

“Um, what’s her name… Fenglu! Come in!”

As a result, there was no movement outside the door, as if the person did not exist at all.

"Ha ha!"

The Sun King probably guessed what he was going to do and snorted complacently.

"These are all my women. What's the point of you, an outsider, calling them names?"

Then came a sentence.

"Fenglu, come in!"

This time there was a living person, and the maid walked in obediently from outside the door.

Ji Ming didn't know how to comment, so he reached out and took two small cups from the table beside him and poured a sip of the medicine in the bottle into each of them.

"Come on, you take a cup and I take a cup, and help His Majesty test the medicine." What other effects can the Spirit Gathering Liquid have? Ji Ming, who was used to drinking it, acted as if nothing had happened, but the little maid, who had never drunk it, felt as if her skin was about to open all over her body.

“Wow, delicious!”

After sending away the maid whose seven orifices seemed to be glowing, the Sun King no longer hesitated and swallowed the soul-gathering liquid in one gulp.

"Hey, this thing of yours is quite sweet... Oh! Oh!! Oh!!!"

After uttering some extremely lascivious monkey noises, the Sun King collapsed directly onto the bed like a puppet with its strings cut.

Then he suddenly jumped up, swinging his wide sleeves and began to run circles in the large dormitory.

"Hey hey!"

Although Ji Ming was annoyed, he was also afraid that the old guy would throw him down, so he quickly went over and grabbed him.

"Don't be crazy, you are the king, be reserved!"

“Hoo~Hoo~Sorry, I haven’t felt this energetic in a long time. This long-lost feeling is so great, bro!”

Fortunately, the king's will was still relatively strong, and the Sun King in his hand gradually calmed down.

But just when Ji Ming was about to let go, the old guy started to act up again. He suddenly used his right hand to fish for the moon in the bottom of the sea, as if he wanted to check some precious thing.

"Ok!"

Ji Ming: “Ah?”

"Um???"

Ji Ming: “Ah!!!”

Just when Ji Ming reacted and was about to throw this disgusting guy out, he suddenly relaxed.

"Oh~~~"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I didn't! I didn't! I really didn't! Hold on tight and don't let me fall!"

After struggling hard for several times, the screaming Sun King held on to the edge of the table and sat down again on the matching chair.

He used his other hand to touch his old face, which was covered with a thin layer of sweat but much warmer than before, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Ji Ming."

His expression was complicated: "... Yeah."

The Sun King seemed to have regained his previous cunning and composure, like... an old man with a lot of experience.

"Tell me, how can a person's life be so complicated?"

Ji Ming was still trying to figure out what kind of thoughts and feelings this was trying to express, but the old man's next words completely threw him off guard.

"Before it was not upright, I thought about it every day. Now that it is upright, I don't want to stand up anymore. How sad and ironic!"

……

If I lived in a novel, the author must have just finished reading the entire "Blood Cross" all night to be able to write such a weird line.

"Young Boss, with this mental state, could he be some failed savior?"

【no】

【His father is】

"That would be a disaster of no end."

……

"Don't be silent, I'm serious!"

There was a hint of urgency in the Sun King's words, and he almost scratched his head with his right hand.

"Ji Ming, please help me think about this carefully. With the character of an old man like me, the emotions I feel right now are definitely not normal!"

Think about it, this old guy is at least honest, right?
So he sighed and revealed the mystery that he hadn't had time to solve yet.

——The second blood-red state is called [Blood Curse·Dragon King]

The state of this curse is quite strange. Its main effect is to enhance a person's desire and ability in a certain area, just like the legendary evil dragon.

Moreover, as a blood curse similar to Adele's, it will not only be passed on to offspring, but its effect will also increase as the host's "king" attribute increases.

If the host is a prince with certain power like Philip, although it will flare up from time to time, it can be suppressed with the help of reason, and at most it can satisfy the desire for good-looking members of the opposite sex.

If the host is a princess with almost no power like Eleanor, it will be so thin that it cannot even be shown on the panel and can basically be regarded as non-existent.

But if the host is the monarch of a country, the ruler of a powerful country, or a paranoid old man who has been affected for his entire life...

After listening to Ji Ming's introduction, the Sun King tilted his head back and carefully poured the little medicine left in the crystal bottle into his throat, then closed his eyes and smacked his lips.

He didn't say a word, and was silent for a long while before mumbling to himself.

“I see…I see…”

His previous high spirits were gone, and now he looked dejected, like an unlucky child who had spent an entire afternoon waiting for the network to be restored, only to find out when his parents rushed him off the computer that the network cable was loose.

Ji Ming dragged the chair to sit opposite the Sun King, and when he saw that he had finally stopped hanging up, he laughed softly.

"So you were thinking about something. I thought you were regretting not being able to taste it properly. Haha, there's no need. Isn't this embarrassing for you?"

The Sun King ignored his sarcasm, his face darkened, and then his eyes burst into light.

"From what you said... you have more than just this one bottle?"

"Maybe. It should be possible."

With the Spirit Gathering Liquid to refresh his mind and suppress the curse, the Sun King, who had finally gotten rid of the two mountains on his back, felt more awake than ever before.

"I understand. You think you have me in your hands, so you want to get some benefits first, right?"

He stood up, straightened his loose pajamas, and began to pace in front of Ji Ming with his hands behind his back.

"According to the laws of the kingdom, although the royal and religious powers cannot be mixed, they have the right to share honors with each other."

"Now that the government and the country are in turmoil, and the situation at home and abroad is complicated, if you can extend my life as much as possible, I will make you an honorary duke, without fiefdom, and enjoy the treatment of a marquis. How do you do that?"

Ji Ming smiled.

"That's it? I've come all the way north from Jueqiao Pass, and there are no more than a handful of nobles worth money. The rest are just pigs, dogs, and insects. What's the point of having them look up to me?"

The Sun King turned around and paced back a few steps.

"Although you are chosen by God, your foundation in the church is still shallow. The archbishop has been retired for a long time and is old. It is impossible for him to take care of many things."

"I know a lot of people in the church, and I can also help you exert influence in the court. If you find a way to resolve the blood curse, within two terms, I will let you be the Holy Light Pope. How do you think?"

Ji Ming laughed again.

"That's it? Your Majesty, I'm a doctor. Please don't think I'm being harsh. Even if you didn't have these two curses, you would never see the archbishop's funeral in this lifetime."

The Sun King turned again and glanced at him first.

"To be honest, according to my discussion with the dukes and war marshals, it is true that Eleanor can become a princess and be guaranteed the title of princess. However, in order to dispel the concerns of the Deep Forest people, in addition to not being able to receive royal education, there is another price."

As he said this, he came in front of Ji Ming.

"In order to avoid the emergence of a second Changge couple, she must marry a nobleman who has no ability and no ambition, and she can never join the core circle of the nobility."

Oh, you max out the stats first, then poison the mechanism, right? It seems like your nobles are very suitable to be designers in PVP games. Anyway, you have no mothers and no shame...

Wait!
Why do I feel like this sentence doesn't sound right?
