Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "Have you really forgotten? This is the foreigner. If you don't show up, you may inherit the throne."

　　 Now Jenkins remembered, he frowned, took the tea cup from Julia and thanked him softly. After separating from Queen Isabella who was eager to deal with major diplomatic issues in the afternoon, he returned to his home with Miss Windsor. A steady stream of information was sent here from everywhere. Jenkins now got first-hand information.

Chapter 1798 Chapter 1769 Adventurous Proposal

　　 As for why the murderer’s name is not directly fortune-telling, it is because divination is not omnipotent, and it is not necessarily accurate. Divination does not directly input questions to get answers, but vaguely see enlightenment.

　　 Not to mention, the results of divination are often obscure and difficult to understand, and only the "revelation of fate" cannot convince the people and the Chesland nobles who want to know the truth.

　　 But with the participation of the church, the progress of the investigation will definitely be greatly improved. But before the investigation came out, Jenkins and most people actually came to a conclusion. After all, the Chessland Kingdom’s reaction was too fast. Nolan, on the west coast of the mainland, just notified the murder in less than 4 hours. , Turin in the eastern part of the mainland can immediately make a "revenge" declaration.

　　 "This is so stupid."

　　 He put down the paper in his hand and leaned on his sofa, "It's like he doesn't care that others doubt him."

　　 "Of course, if they can even assassinate the king, would they care what others think?"

　　 said Miss Windsor.

　　 The eldest son of the arrogant Takov had announced that he would temporarily serve as the king this evening, and he did not give any opportunity to the second son who was brought by Takov by his side. However, according to what Jenkins and Miss Windsor understand, the current acting king of the Southland, Reddy Alessio, is no better than his father, nor is he the kind of person who can clean up the domestic opposition with thunder.

　　 There is a high probability that he is controlled by the main battle faction within the kingdom, which can reasonably explain the series of outrageous news that has been continuously sent from Turin starting this morning.

　　 "It seems that those people in Turin are determined to fight. I got some information sent from the front line with the steam airship this afternoon. Chessland's army has begun to change."

　　 Miss Windsor said, but she was very puzzled:

"But is it really necessary? In order to continue the war, I will not hesitate to murder the king of my country... The Second Ordnance Industry Consortium made a profit, but murdered its own king..."

　　 She shook her head.

"Don’t forget that there are also tree houses on the upper floors of Cheslan. Perhaps the tree houses confuse some people with doomsday arguments. This is not without precedent. Even in the peaceful age, there are idiots who believe that the doomsday will come, so they believe in the evil gods. Some creepy things. At this time, there are probably more people who believe this statement."

　　 Not to mention that the tree house can really prove that the end is coming, and according to their attempt to seek a savior, it is not difficult for the tree house to come up with a set of "help us to obtain the right to survive in the end".

　　 Coupled with the conflicts in the internal political situation of Chesland, the short-term insights of the nobles and big merchants, and the fact that the industrial level of the Southern Kingdom is seriously incompatible with the level of economic development, any situation is possible.

　　 "Father also handed a note in the afternoon. His Majesty gave him a secret order to prepare him at any time to lead a fleet through the Drota Strait in the south into the southern waters."

　　 Britney, who was standing at the front of the window with a teacup, said with some concern that the order received by the Marquis of Mikhail meant that Queen Isabella believed that even if the real culprit could be found, the possibility of eliminating the war was unlikely.

　　 This is also the opinion of most people. Nanguo is obviously determined to continue the war. Not to mention, their king did indeed die in the territory of Fidiktelli. They had a good reason for the war. Even if it is written in history books, it will not be questioned for hundreds of years.

　　 "This time the church used extraordinary power to help the secular regime. This is really rare. I heard Jenkins talk about the "Tower Agreement", but I didn't expect to see the church and the royal family act together so soon."

　　 Britney said again, so Miss Windsor recounted what she had heard about the Tower Agreement from Sigrid, and the blonde girl listened to the content in surprise. But unlike Miss Windsor's inexplicable touch at the time, Britney didn't feel unusual.

　　 She does not have the gift of a gifter.

Hearing the secrets of the world and the testimonies of the gods did not bring discomfort to Brian. After all, this place is the abode of Gods on the one hand, and on the other hand because of the relationship with Jenkins, the girls, especially Hathaway, It is hard to say whether Britney and Alexia are completely mortal.

　　 After a few more words, Jenkins heard the carriage stop at his door. Britney, who was standing at the window, looked out:

　　 "It's Alexia who is here."

　　 They now call each other by first name.

I can’t see if there are other people on the carriage, Miss Windsor’s guard opened the gate of the yard for Alexia, and the shorter lady turned her head slightly to look at Miss Magic and the silver flute in the house next door. Miss, they were taken aback, and then they walked into the house.

　　Ms. Windsor also cares about her safety, so in addition to ordinary bodyguards, the occult consultants hired are also by her side at all times. Although it was a waste of time, Miss Windsor paid enough money, so Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute were very happy.

　　 "Salhi II gave it to you."

　　 Alexia said after entering the door, handing the letter to Jenkins. At this sensitive moment, Jenkins cannot go to see Dolores, and he and the king of the North can only exchange information through letters. Jenkins believed in Dolores' father more than Queen Isabella.

　　 opened the letter, glanced at it, and handed it to Miss Windsor:

　　 "Unsurprisingly, although the spies of Salci II in Turin have not transmitted the information across the continent, the North Kingdom has found evidence sufficient to prove that the death of Takwen is related to the nobles of Turin."

　　 "But they didn't find the Mr. Luther either."

　　 Miss Windsor turned the letter to the back and confirmed that there were no letters:

　　 "If you can't find him, everything is useless. We can't use intuitive evidence to prove that Fidickettley has nothing to do with this matter."

　　 "It will be found soon, and the church will not let the war spread."

　　 Jenkins said with certainty, and then asked Alexia:

　　 "Why did you send me the letter?"

　　 He stood up and hugged the short lady. The cat on the sofa glanced at Jenkins and lay there and continued to sleep.

"Salhi II has a question to ask you. This question is very important. It can only be asked by people who are trusted by him and you. And obviously, Tuckvin just died, he dare not let Dolores casually Activities in the city."

"what is the problem?"

　　 Jenkins asked.

　　 Alexia glanced at the people in the house at this time, and said softly:

　　 "He wants to ask you, would you like to kill Queen Isabella now?"

Chapter 1799 Chapter 1770 The Southern Forest Fire

　　 Although a little surprised, Jenkins thought of this possibility before Alexia spoke. In fact, this is indeed not a particularly bad idea. Once Queen Isabella dies, it means that Cheslan’s "Proud" Taqvin and the King of the Fedictelli Kingdom die almost in one day. The people proved in their hearts that the Kingdom of Fedictelli had nothing to do with the death of the king of the southern kingdom, and they could even make an excuse that Cheslan was the murderer and attacked the other side.

　　 Moreover, Tuckwen died at a very critical point in time. Without him, it would be difficult to say whether the Three Kings talks could continue. Therefore, the death of Queen Isabella will not cause too much damage to the country as before this morning, and it is even possible that due to her death, Fedicteli will stand with the justice of the Chessland war. One side.

More importantly, because the war is almost once again on the verge of breaking out. Once the king of Fidicteli dies, the country must elect a new king as soon as possible to suppress the domestic order, and at the same time prevent the soldiers and officers on the front line from being affected. have a bee in one's bonnet. And the choice of heir to the throne in a hurry, let Jenkins wear the crown is almost no suspense.

　　 This is just a benefit that Jenkins can think of. He believes that Sarhi II can think of more things.

　　 He admits that he completely agrees that this is a reasonable idea from a rational point of view, and even vaguely thought of the murder plan in an instant.

　　 "But will I murder others for my own purposes?"

　　Of course not, although I know that Queen Isabella is a bad person and know the benefits of murdering the other party, Jenkins will not do it.

　　 "This is the difference between me and her."

　　 he said in his heart.

　　 has nothing to do with reason and sensibility, nor does it have nothing to do with justice and evil. Jenkins will not do such a thing, and if Queen Isabella is in Jenkins's position, she will definitely do it without a psychological burden in her heart. This is the conflict of values ​​between the two, and it is also the irreconcilable contradiction between Jenkins and her. The essential.

　　 "I won't do this."

　　 After Alexia finished speaking, the living room was quiet for a few seconds before Jenkins gave the answer a bit late.

　　 "Sure enough."

　　 Alexia said.

　　 "Of course he would say that."

　　 Britney also said, and then smiled understandingly at Miss Windsor. Everyone can see that Miss Windsor was nervous in the first few seconds. Although Queen Isabella did something wrong with the heir, which broke her heart, it did not mean that Miss Windsor wanted the old man to go. dead.

　　 She has a deep affection for Queen Isabella. It is the affection between relatives, and it will not be completely wiped out simply because of one thing.

　　 For example, if Robert killed someone, Jenkins would definitely help him deal with the traces on the scene, destroy the evidence, and then blame the believer of the lie.

　　 So Jenkins understands Miss Windsor's complicated feelings for Queen Isabella now.

"There is no need to do this. Killing the opponent is just to advance the matter a bit. I don’t think it has any benefit, and it will leave the real risk of being discovered. There is no need to do this. Sarhi II is really Thinking too much."

　　 He said again, sitting back on the sofa and looking at Miss Windsor:

"you do not need to worry."

　　 "I am not worried because I know who you are."

　　 Hearing this answer, the other ladies in the room had different expressions, but Miss Windsor didn't seem to care. She wanted to say something, but then another carriage stopped at the gate of the yard, and it was Hathaway who had returned.

Hathaway left home before Jenkins and Miss Windsor came to St. George Street. According to the unclear message and the special emphasis on important things, Jenkins guessed that she was probably going to meet Miss Stillwell. .

　　 Music believers have been active recently. Miss Stevier probably wanted to show the enthusiasm for cooperation with lies believers in order to gain further trust.

　　Some irritable red-haired girls walked into the living room, glanced at the people in the living room, and probably knew why Miss Windsor appeared here. She greeted each other politely, hugged Jenkins who stood up, took a sip from the Jenkins teacup on the table, and heard Jenkins ask:

　　 "Are you having any troubles?"

　　 "I participated in a large-scale ceremony, but it failed for some reason. The materials are not cheap."

　　 The red-haired girl replied angrily, seeming to be quite annoyed by the matter:

"It has been planned for a while, and the materials and the people involved in the ceremony have been carefully selected. Even Lydia and Brielli have arrived. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the end. This is the whole week. It was in vain."

Jenkins was very curious about what Miss Stillwell was leading the group of people doing, and also wondered if those two names were the people he had met last time when he broke into their rally as Mr. Candle, but he could not directly ask:

　　 "Maybe you can tell the general situation, and Alexia may be able to give you some help."

　　 Hathaway hesitated obviously, leaned over and said a few words in the ear of the short lady. The process only took about half a minute, and the latter slowly nodded:

"It’s not that the ritual itself is a problem. Although this ritual is rare, there is no such wrong precedent... The next time the ceremony is held, you don’t want to appear as a sacrifice. I think it’s probably your birthday and The fundamentals of this ceremony are in conflict."

　　 Alexia is the only demigod in the family, and Hathaway also trusts her, so she does not doubt this conclusion. But Jenkins heard that this was a lie, and he looked at Alexia strangely, and tried to communicate with her with [the same feelings of the creatures].

　　 Alexia caught the thoughts from Jenkins, raised an eyebrow at him, and gave the answer in his mind:

"The reason for the failure of the ritual is that Hathaway Hesha, another status symbol, repressively covers the status symbol of [The Sacrifice of the God of Music], which was originally used to pray to the [God of Music]. There has been a serious deviation in her ritual. She is genuine now, [Girl serving Ability God]~"

　　 Alexia will leave soon. When she left, Julia had to go back together. She hadn't seen Dolores for a whole day. But Dolores also asked Alexia to give a message, and Julia can stay on St. George Street in the past few days.

　　 For the sake of safety, Salhi II will certainly not allow Dolores to go out at will in the past few days, and Julia is not needed in the house, after all, there are many servants. Staying here for Jenkins not only saves time on running, but also gives Alexia a reason to visit here at any time.

　　 Julia can only agree.

　　 The death of Takov was supposed to bring the Three Kings' talks to a halt, but the meeting went ahead as scheduled on Wednesday morning. Although only representatives of the kingdoms of Fidiktli and Hampawo appeared, the speeches jointly delivered by at least the two kings calmed the haze caused by the reopening of the war to a certain extent.

　　Cheslan’s delegation in Nolan did not disband and return home because of the king’s death. Not just out of thoughts, but the second prince Brill Alessio, who was brought by Salhi II by his side, actually appeared at the meeting on Wednesday. But he did not express any opinions in the speeches of the other two kings, nor did he explain to reporters any views on his father's death.

　　 On Wednesday, the newspaper reported on the Eastern Front in two complete pages in the second and third pages. It was originally Turin's unilateral announcement of revenge, but Fedictelli did not respond. But yesterday evening, Chesland’s army attacked the Chichara Forest, which was defended by the Fediktelli Third Army garrisoned by the Eastern Defense Line, and went directly into the western part of the forest.

　　 Then the war started again.

　　 In addition to the war, reports of the southern forest fires mentioned by Mr. Black Cat also appeared in the newspapers. This in itself has nothing to do with Nolan, but at noon on Wednesday, Jenkins heard surprising news from the church:

　　 "The second child of the mist appeared? In the southern forest fire?"

　　 The news comes from the Nature Church. They have many churches in the pristine rainforest in the southern part of the mainland. Because there are few people in the rain forest, apart from some false **** believers, believers in nature know the forest best. Before being pushed back by the fire, they discovered some weird supernatural phenomena. Following further adventure investigations, a hand-drawn pencil sketch with a realistic but somewhat distorted style was sent to Nolan.

　　 After the fire swaying over the forest, a huge vague figure stretched out. The shadow was more blurred than the giant behind Nolan's thick fog, but it looked even more terrifying.

　　 "We only thought that the thick fog around the city could give birth to the children of the mist. We did not expect that the smoke produced by the forest fires, linked with the fog that spreads throughout the world, would also give birth to those terrible things."

　　Ms. Bevanna took the sketch back to the file bag, with a sad look on her face:

"The child of the mist in the sea of ​​fire is not terrible. Even if the southern diocese does not have Nolan's conditions, but knowing how to deal with that monster, it will not be as terrible as when it first appeared. The real terrible thing is that fire, we I couldn't find any way to extinguish it. The cause of this fire was originally strange. After being linked with the diffused gray fog, it seemed to have gained strength from the fog. When something was wrong, it was too late."

　　 "Will this fire burn the whole world?"

　　 Jenkins made a very bold conjecture. He himself knew that this was impossible. After all, the theme of this era on the last page of "Epic of Time" was "steam" instead of "fire."

　　PS: The difficulty for the children of the mist to deal with is mainly that layer of eggs. After breaking the eggs, Miss Bevanna also said that it is actually not strong, so although the children of the mist in other parts of the world are troublesome, they are not completely impossible to deal with.

Chapter 1800 Chapter 1771

　　 "Burn the whole world? No, no, of course it's not that serious."

　　 Miss Bevanna shook her head, and then carefully sealed the file bag:

"But it is currently expected that the fire in the southern forest will burn for three months, at least three months, and by the end of autumn, the cold air from the northern part of the mainland will suppress those flames. This is still using the force of nature, with the help of a large scale of thousands of people. The ceremony is enough to extinguish this fire."

　　 "But during this period, how many children of the mist will be spawned in advance by this fire? Will the fire give birth to something more terrifying than the children of the mist?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

　　 "It's hard to say, but it's probably the end. The arrival of the end does not happen suddenly, it is a gradual process."

　　 Miss Bevanna shook her head.

　　 Most of Jenkins’ knowledge of the doomsday comes from the stories of his hometown, where most of the stories are the sudden disaster that destroyed the world. But the real doomsday is never without warning. It is a gradual process. After people accept disasters everywhere, they will realize that the days of stability will never happen again.

　　 Several small towns close to the southern forest are already planning to relocate as a whole, and cities farther away are also ready to arrange citizens to move. But because of the chaotic politics of the southern country and the re-start of the war, Chesland officials did not pay much attention to the fire, nor did they do their best to protect their own citizens.

　　The chaotic domestic environment made this fire only recently attracted official attention. If it were not for the church's active assistance in disaster relief, more innocent people would have died because of this fire.
