As early as when the demon thief Bilo led the thief Jero and the Snake Girl to chat privately and conspired, Zhou Ming knew that in the face of huge benefits, even the pure and kind Virgin Mary could fall into the devil of hell.

What are the benefits and promises that the Demon Biro made to the thief Jero and others? Zhou Ming was not very clear, but as an ordinary mercenary, even if he had some gold coins and subordinates at hand, he wanted to develop this new continent, and even if he gave him Demon Biro a hundred years, he might not have made any name for him. But he felt good about himself and thought he could really dominate this continent.

Zhou Ming was different. He pulled the thief Jero to the front and said to the thief Jero: After returning to Gran, in addition to being a bounty of 100,000 gold coins and being promoted to a legendary mercenary, he would also give him the position of vice president of the mercenary union - these are the most valuable things that Zhou Ming could take out immediately.

There is also a promise that when he becomes a duke or a king, he will grant the thief Jero a title and territory as an earl.

Regarding this promise, the thief Jero could doubt whether Zhou Ming could fulfill it, but compared to the promise made by his cousin, the demon thief Biluo: after killing the snake girl, the probability of realization of each of their brothers in the mainland is higher.

But Bi Luo is his cousin... he is not a brother who has been playing with since childhood. This cousin is not as important as the snake girl in his heart.

As for the snake girl... Zhou Ming, who had figured it out after this woman saved her life, was rumored to be like a snake and a scorpion on a beautiful night shortly after, but in fact, she was just wearing a protective shell on a kind heart. After talking to each other, she hugged and lingered together.

Two days ago, she ran over with a little shy look and said that she seemed to have...

...

Mid November.

Zhou Ming and his group rushed from the Tongshan Kingdom, crossed the war-torn Iron Fort Kingdom, and returned to Glen Territory in a dusty manner.

A sensational news spread quickly.

"Knight Edward is back, and they have completed the mission of exploring the new world!"

"The Devil's Mountain was actually turned over by them. How did they do it?"

"What's behind the Ural Snow Mountain? Are there really people-eating devils?"

"Who can ask Knight Edward how he climbed over the Ural Snow Mountain, can you tell us how to climb over?"

“…”

The discussions resounded in the mercenary union, taverns, and dusty places made the new world behind the Ural Snow Mountain the hottest topic of this winter.

Zhou Ming, who returned to the castle, just as soon as he entered the castle, what greeted him was not the servants' happy smiles and the joy and excitement of his relatives and friends, but an indescribable strange atmosphere.

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

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

No.

Still a daughter.

“Woooooo~”

At this time, a burst of crying came. Zhou Ming, who had a stiff expression, turned his head and looked at him. Seeing his wife covering her face with a scarf, she started to cry.

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

After kissing her little daughter on the face, Zhou Ming patted Fanny on the shoulder and comforted her.

"Dear Edward, it's useless for me. I have given birth to three daughters for you, and even a heir has not given birth to you. Will you still love me? Love me like I used to?"

Fanny's tears were like a flood that broke through the dam. She felt a little guilty and a little fearful in her trembling voice.

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

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

After a while of clouds and rain, Zhou Ming was quite irritated when he caressed his wife, who still had a charming face in his arms.

Zhou Ming is not a sexist. He is the same for him, and as long as he is his child, he will treat everyone equally.

But this world doesn't look at it that way.

The nobles in this world generally regard boys as successors to the family. They attach great importance to the training and investment is not limited to the cost.

Girls are generally regarded as tools for family marriage, and of course they will also be cultivated, but the requirements are not as high as boys, as long as they are well-educated and well-educated.

Therefore, if any noble with title and territory does not have a boy among the descendants, the title and territory of the noble will be inherited by the person with the closest blood relationship according to the closest relationship. According to the inheritance order of the law of inheritance, the eldest son is preferred, the second son is replaced, and the heir can be replaced by the branch line. For example, cousins, etc., they can be designated as the heir of the title in the will.

In the current Burns family, Zhou Ming is of course the eldest son whose status cannot be shaken. After his father, Baron Connor, he will be the ownership of the title territory.

but……

If his wife Fanny has not given birth to a boy for him, in the family, his younger brother Donnie is still the second-ranked heir to the territory. Once Zhou Ming leaves, if no male descendants of his legitimate lineage are left (the illegitimate child has no right to inherit), everything in the entire Glen will be inherited by his younger brother Donnie. Even if Fanny gives birth to ten or eight daughters for him, it will be useless.

Not only that, the damn system in Zhou Ming's head only counts female descendants from the direct line into the statistical data in terms of calculating the number of offspring of the game characters. Female descendants of non-direct lineage, such as granddaughters and great-granddaughters, are not counted within the number of offspring.

"I just returned to the castle, and the servants looked at me with strange eyes. I met Donnie on the way, and saw his eyes dodging, and he looked guilty..."

hehe.

Zhou Ming, who had figured out some problems, sneered in his heart. It seemed that in less than two years he had been traveling outside, some monsters and monsters in the castle couldn't help but jump up and down.

the next day.

Training ground behind the castle.

"Eric, who made the palm prints on your face? Who is so brave to treat you like this during the days when I was not here?"

Eric, the second son of Baron Romon, came to Glenling Castle four years ago and became Zhou Ming's knight attendant. The master and apprentice have only been together for more than two years. Zhou Ming likes the hard work and tenacity of this child, and is smart and studious. Although the child's future achievements will not surpass himself, it is no problem to surpass those knights with ordinary qualifications.

But today, Zhou Ming, who was about to test whether he was not here for a while and whether Eric's kung fu had regressed in his hands, was furious after seeing the extremely clear red mark of five fingers on his face.

"Tell me, who did it!" Seeing that Eric didn't say anything, Zhou Ming shouted.

"Yes...it's Mr. Donnie..."

Eric had to tell the whole story in a few moments. It turned out that during the period when Zhou Ming went out for an adventure, he had not come back for only a year. Donnie spread the news among his servants that "no one who went to the Devil's Mountain can come back", which made the castle people panic.

Not only that, Donnie's idea actually hit Zhou Ming's personal maid Alice, and asked to transfer Alice to him and be a maid for him. However, without his father's approval, he went to harass her again and again.

A few days ago, after bumping into Donny pulling Alice's clothes and doing something more and more bold, 15-year-old Eric stepped forward and said a few words, protecting Alice and took off from the room. As a result, Donny was slapped hard by the annoyed and angry Donny.

"Donny, Donny, no matter in the previous life or in this life, your habit of eating shit may not be changed! Well, I will send you to the place where you have the most shit to eat!"
