Xiuyi had expected Phoenix Fire's rebirth, but the fact that Phoenix Fire had leveled up twice and awakened two new characteristics did surprise Xiuyi.

A lot of things happened tonight. Before entering the castle, Shuichi was just a nobody in the mercenary group.

As a result, after the meal, he suddenly became the future son-in-law of Viscount Hocas.

The change in identity is so great that it is astonishing.

Since they were the future owners of the castle, there was no need for Shuichi to continue living in the dirty and messy Mercenary South Square. Instead, he stayed in the castle overnight under the persuasion of his future father-in-law Hocas and his new teacher Bocolangqi.

The old steward of the castle was counting the losses caused by the earthquake, and the young man named Locke was left outside to serve.

Shuichi met Kog'Maw under the guidance of Locke.

This guy did not disappoint Shuichi.

He was originally drinking with other mercenaries, and he had drunk a little too much without realizing it.

Later he found that Shuichi was missing, and he was so scared that he sobered up on the spot.

After looking around and asking several maids and butlers serving in the restaurant, I was sure that Shuichi had indeed gone to discuss something with Viscount Hocas.

Despite this, Kog'Gath remained restless.

Seeing that he was distracted, other mercenaries came over with wine glasses, but he refused them.

He realized that he had failed in his duty as a guard.

He was really afraid, afraid that the thigh he had finally hugged would disappear inexplicably...

What is more terrifying than staying at the bottom of society forever?

There was once a passage that led up to the top, but halfway up, I started to indulge myself and ended up destroying myself...

I have to talk about Boss Cao here.

In order to sleep with a widow in Wancheng, the eldest son who had been trained as an heir died. Dian Wei, the most powerful guard around him, passed away. His wife also chose to divorce Boss Cao because she could not accept the death of her eldest son...

You have to know that was ancient times.

Even modern men, no matter what the reason, mostly choose to remain silent after divorcing their wives.

I feel ashamed that I can't even keep a woman.

As for women... there are many who post their divorce certificates online...

Some people are destined to achieve success because they are persistent.

Boss Cao is just such a person.

After losing his wife and his army, he still had great ambitions, picked himself up again, and finally defeated Yuan Shikai and became the founder of the Wei Kingdom. (Cao Cao never became emperor until his death. It was his son Cao Pi who posthumously conferred the title of Emperor Wu of Wei.)

Later people could laugh at him for being lustful and lustful, laugh at him for being beaten by Ma Chao and having to take off his robe and shave his beard, laugh at him for killing Bian Rang in anger and being almost driven out of Yanzhou.

But he is indeed a great man of his generation.

But that was Cao Cao!

How many such heroes have there been throughout history?

Kogash didn't think he could make any major progress after leaving Shuichi.

Without the support of the card maker, how can he rise?

The Eye of God?

So do you have to rely on God's Eye for your entire life?

What about subsequent resources?

When Kog'Maw was filled with remorse, Shuichi walked to Kog'Maw under the guidance of Locke.

At this time, Kog'gas was immersed in endless internal friction and didn't notice the people coming around him.

"Kogas?"

Shuichi raised his right hand and gently patted the shoulder of Kog'gas, who was sitting on a chair at the edge of the restaurant.

Kog'gas was shocked and turned his head in disbelief to look in the direction where the sound came from.

He just thought he was hallucinating... Unexpectedly... Xiuyi really came back...

He did not lose his master, nor did he lose the ladder to climb up...

"Woo..."

Happiness came so suddenly that even a strong man couldn't help crying.

"Uh..." Shuichi could more or less understand Kogaze's feelings at the moment, but he really didn't expect him to be so excited.

"Okay, stop crying. You're an adult now."

Seeing that Shuichi did not blame himself for his dereliction of duty but instead comforted himself, Kogas felt as if he heard the sound of heaven.

He knelt before Xiuyi like a man trying to topple a golden mountain and a jade pillar, his face flushed as he swore, "Master! I will never leave your side again!"

"That's not necessary. You have your own life, but it's enough for you to be by my side when I need you."

Shuichi knew that the more he comforted Kog'gas at this time, the more guilty he would feel, so after he helped Kog'gas up, he immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, let me tell you something. I am engaged to Miss Lilith, the only daughter of Viscount Horcas. I will live in Horcas Castle in the future. Please go back and help me take care of Heifeng. Come back tomorrow at dinner time. I have something to tell you."

After hearing what Shuichi said, Kog'gas, who had just stood up, accidentally fell to his knees again.

"Master... I... my legs are weak..."

"Get out!"

Xiu Yi cursed with a smile, isn't it just that he became the son-in-law of Hocas and married his only daughter? In the future, he will inherit the surname "Hocas" and the title of Viscount Hocas and all his property.

It’s just a small matter. Is there any need to get so excited?

Not only Kog'Maw, but Loken next to him almost fell to his knees.

Miss Lilith is the apple of Viscount Hocas's eye. He is afraid that she will melt if he holds her in his mouth, and afraid that she will fall if he holds her in his palm.

Locke really couldn't understand why his master would promise Miss Lilith to the black-haired boy in front of him?

Is it because he is good-looking?

In fact, Shuichi had complicated feelings about the fact that he got engaged for no apparent reason.

For a time traveler, it is especially true that he is a time traveler who uses cheats for himself.

Cultivating one's mind is very inspiring.

He had meant it when he had refused to give Hocas and Bocolanchi their terms.

Because he felt that Hocas's title was too low, and he was only eight years old. It was a bit of a waste to bind him to a viscount's daughter so early.

Waiting for the right price is a basic skill that every mature adult should learn.

Even if he couldn't marry a daughter of a noble family, couldn't he make a name for himself with his own abilities?

But it is also a fact that I blew up someone else's dark gold pool worth 100,000 gold dragons... plus there are two creditors... while saying this, his attitude was extremely good.

Xiuyi is the type of person who would rather offend a villain than let a gentleman suffer a loss.

Whether Bocolanchi and Hocas are gentlemen or not is not the point for now, but at least they are very gentlemanly in front of Shuichi.

So he agreed reluctantly.

From now on, Xiuyi's full name will be Xiuyi Zhang Hocas.

While Xiuyi was comforting Kog'gas, Viscount Hocas and old man Bocolanchi returned to the study where they first met.

After entering the study, both of them were silent for several minutes.

Shuichi's appearance did disrupt their plans, but fortunately, everything turned out well.

"When Lilith comes back, she'll probably make trouble with you."

The old man broke the silence by starting with Lilith, the only daughter of Hocas.

"..." Hocas looked a little embarrassed, but after a moment, he regained his composure: "I will persuade her. Besides... I can't ignore such an outstanding young man."

"I thought you wanted to imprison him at first."

"No, that's the last resort." Hocas looked at the smiling old man calmly: "Besides, you won't allow me to do this, right?"

"You don't understand. The world is changing every day. The Boshi Academy is very active in searching for talents. Someone like Shuichi is hard to come by in a century."

The old man did not respond directly to Hocas' question, but his attitude at this time did show that he would not sit idly by and watch Shuichi's safety. Even if Hocas was indeed closer to him, for the sake of the human race, he must preserve this little spark at all costs.

"Didn't you say that it would take at least fifty years for the inner world's erosion to break through the outer world's barrier?"

"That's under the most ideal circumstances!" Bocolanchi held his breath and tapped his desk a few times with his fingers to emphasize the danger in his words: "You nobles always think about your own interests... But have you ever thought that if the outer world is swallowed by the torrent of the inner world, no matter how noble your bloodline is, you will die!"

The old man's words were a bit harsh, but that's the reality.

When the lips and teeth are gone, no egg will remain intact when the nest is overturned.

Those who do not understand these principles do not deserve peace.

"Hasn't the royal family been dealing with it?" Hocas said disapprovingly: "Since they rule this country, it is their royal family's duty to protect the people."

Hocas's attitude was what Bocolangqi expected. He did not refute, but sneered: "The royal family is studying ways to erode the world in the seal, but they are not stupid. They have been trying to reform."

"Reform? Centralization?" Hocas sneered, "You want to take back the territory you gave out? For so many years, my family has ruled Boulder Town. It's ok that the royal family doesn't want to promote my title, but they actually want to restrict my development!"

When it comes to matters of interest, Viscount Hocas can no longer maintain his composure.

There was no way, the royal family put too much pressure on him.

"If you don't cooperate, they can also refuse to help you seal the erosion of the inner world. By then, all the territories near you will be fine, but you will be the only one in trouble..."

The old man's words hit Hocas' soft spot.

"..."

"Okay, whether it's the erosion of the other world or the centralized system, that's all for the future. If you don't work hard, it's unclear whether you can live to that time."
