The Master of the Strange Realm

He briefly recounted Robert's words, and then the living room suddenly became quiet. Only the sound of Chocolate licking his paws was very clear. It might be a little hungry.

"So, who did you invite?"

Finally, someone asked this question. It was the blonde girl who asked it. Hathaway was much calmer because she had understood the man's heart.

"The people I wanted to invite were not here."

This sentence was very vague because the man did not say specific names. He thought about it and felt that although it was a bit of a jerk to do so, it was not a solution to always dodge:

"I wanted to invite you, but no one was here... So I invited a distant friend to go home as a female companion. We had dinner together and then went to the theater to watch a play together. It was great."

Try to keep your tone calm and make it sound normal.

"Is that so..."

The atmosphere of the conversation suddenly became awkward. Although Jenkins rarely understood the reason, he did not know how to deal with it. The two girls looked at each other, and subconsciously didn't want the other to see the joy in their eyes:

"He wants to invite me!"

"Speaking of the theater, the Silver Jasmine Opera Company sent me another letter. The opera will have its first performance tomorrow night, and he gave me three tickets. Mary and Robert will not go. Robert got a promotion, so they took John on vacation and will be back next week; Dad never likes opera, he likes those old things that don't move; you don't need tickets to bring chocolate into the theater..."

As he spoke, he took the envelope from his pocket, took out the tickets in the envelope and put them on the table. The opera house also attaches great importance to this performance. Part of the tickets for admission, especially the tickets for the VIP seats, are ingeniously hand-painted in color.

"I think I just have time on the weekend."

"I think I do too."

The women's voices sounded one after another, and then a beautiful hand appeared at the edge of the field of vision and took the tickets on the table. Jenkins immediately relaxed and raised his head. Seeing that the girls had no strange colors on their faces, he felt that this matter might have been fooled.

Dad was right. He would regret his choice for at least a week.

He chatted with them for a few more words, told them to be careful of diseases and plagues recently, and then took the cat back home. But there was nothing to do after returning home, so he projected to Loen.

As soon as his vision was restored, he saw flames burning all around. He was startled and subconsciously wanted to stuff the cat into his arms, but then he realized that it was not a fire, but someone was using their abilities.

The fire dragon spun and danced in the room, but did not ignite anything. The flames finally returned to Alexia's hands, and then she squeezed them and they disappeared into sparks.

"What are you doing?"

He sat directly beside Alexia and glimpsed an old book called "Ancient Mysticism: Text Trace" on the coffee table in front of her.

This is the living room of Alexia's residence. Because winter still stays in this city, the fireplace is still burning. It is afternoon now, and you can see the gloomy sky and falling snow through the window. Loon is a city with a lot of precipitation, and it is not that Jenkins happens to see snowfall every time.

"I am preparing Dolores's course. I plan to teach her something other than mathematics."

"That's good. I think Miss Stuart will be happy."

"Is the matter of Nolan resolved? This time it is really a big deal."

The short lady asked softly, but did not look at Jenkins.

"It is resolved. Skru Pompeii is dead and the Skeleton Sword has disappeared. This time I have to thank Miss Stuart. I called some of her people in Nolan yesterday. I hope this will not cause her trouble."

"She will be very happy."

Alexia said, then closed the book and put it aside, and took the initiative to reach out and hold Jenkins.

"On the 28th, did you take Julia home?"

She rarely asks questions in a roundabout way like Jenkins.

"Yes."

Jenkins knew that Julia would tell Miss Stuart about this matter, and it was only a matter of time before Alexia saw it.

"All the candidates I know who can take it home are just not here."

"Did you come to see me?"

"Of course, Julia and Miss Stuart can both prove it."

Alexia's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful arc. Although she had known about this for a long time, her mood suddenly improved.

"That's really unfortunate. I think your "friends" in Nolan should be disappointed too?"

"Well... it seems so..."

He answered vaguely, holding the teacup to his mouth, so that he had a suitable reason not to speak.

"Julia said yesterday that she forgot to return the jewelry to you. I have to say, it's really beautiful."

"No need to return it to me, she can just keep it, as a gift for invitation, which is meaningless. My father also said that this is just an ordinary banquet. I think if I come back, this family banquet will appear unusual. That is the rough stone that my father brought directly from the mine. After cutting it open, it is a gem of very good quality. This is a rare good material."

He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't mention that he actually had two sets of jewelry. His instinct told him that it was best not to tell anyone about this matter, otherwise he would definitely get into trouble.

"Turns out I'm a terrible man too."

He whispered to himself in his heart, feeling very confused about the current situation where he didn't know how to deal with it.

He must admit that he likes more than one girl now. After realizing this, he was first surprised that he had become the person he used to hate, and then he was very happy that the girls also liked him.

But the laws of this world stipulate monogamy. Although nobles and businessmen will have lovers, it is immoral. Maybe we can be together for the sake of love, but the girls he likes all have decent backgrounds, and no one would want to be a lover without status.

Chapter 929 Chapter 912 Holy Sword and Finance

Jenkins once wanted to find someone to discuss his complicated relationship issues, but after much deliberation, he didn't know who to talk to. He told his father that he would definitely be willing to make some valuable suggestions, but Jenkins couldn't bear to let people around him know about his "love heart."

"It's written on your face that you are very worried right now."

Alexia reminded.

"Yes, I suddenly realized that I am a very greedy person. Although I seem to be stoic..."

He didn't have to hide himself in front of Alexia, because there was no way he could hide it.

"But actually, you want more than a normal person."

Alexia continued what he said, and that was exactly what Jenkins wanted to say.

"You and I are actually the same person, Jenkins."

She tried sitting closer to Jenkins, much to Chocolate's displeasure.

"We are pursuing greater things, so we appear to have no desires. Those ignorant and vulgar people just can't see what we are pursuing, because most people in this world are just mortals."

"you're right."

Jenkins simply catered.

"Jenkins, if you want something, the most important thing is not to look at what others think. You should first measure whether you can get what you want and whether you can control what you want."

There seems to be something wrong with the values ​​and sense of right and wrong in this statement, but it does fit in with Jenkins' way of doing things. Generally speaking, he doesn't care whether he actually broke the law, he only cares about whether he can be found guilty of breaking the law, and whether he can still fall asleep after thinking about it all day before going to bed.

"So, you know what you want?"

The woman asked softly, with a certain hypnotic tone in her tone.

"certainly!"

Jenkins wanted to become a true god, a goal from the beginning.

"Then go for it."

Alexia immediately encouraged.

"Yes, you are right."

He nodded sharply and didn't see Chocolate reaching out his paws to cover his little face.

I came here not just to talk about No. 28, but what Jenkins wanted to do was show Alexia the new weapon he had obtained.

Looking back on what happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, I feel a strong sense of being "arranged". Chocolate played an important role in it, but thinking about it later, it must have been confused by some invisible force.

Jenkins originally tended to have something to do with the strange forest, but after the birth of the white holy sword, he began to suspect that it was the work of a certain god.

"Why do you call it the Holy Sword?"

The summoned sword floated in the air autonomously. Alexia did not reach out to touch it, but only observed it carefully. She seemed to be immediately attracted to this thing. Jenkins had rarely seen her so interested in an item.

"I don't know, but it does look divine, doesn't it?"

Jenkins stretched out his hand and flicked the sword lightly, and a heart-to-heart feeling rippled in his heart. The sword seemed to be made of a combination of bone and wood, but it had a subtle touch of metal.

"It is indeed sacred. This should be called the most powerful weapon I have ever seen."

She also followed Jenkins' example and reached out to touch the sword, and slight ripples echoed on the surface of the white holy sword.

"Death and life are so harmonious, it's a miracle...Have you ever used this weapon? It looks very sharp."

"Not yet, I can feel its power, and I'm worried that the experiment will attract other people's attention."

Jenkins said.

He could clearly feel the power contained in the white holy sword in his hand, and he could also feel that [life] and [death] coexisted in this sword in a very balanced manner.

This is weird, but it's true.

After getting the sword last night, he also thought about trying to swing it. At least without the spirit infusion, this was an extremely sharp weapon, and all the test subjects were cut off by it without exception.

Alexia was very interested in this weapon. After hearing about its birth process, she was silent for a long time before asking:

"When you pulled out this sword, besides the strange movement in the forest, were there any other abnormalities?"

"I didn't pay attention, I was a little dizzy at the time."

Jenkins admitted sheepishly.

He didn't even hear the whisper of the forest in the wind, nor did he notice anything else.

"Go check the tree hole again if you have a chance. This matter won't be that simple."

"Okay. Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten about the Dragon Language Secret Box, but the dragon was also seriously injured in the battle last night and will not leave Evergreen Forest in the short term. I can find an excuse to ask about it in the near future."

It is Saturday afternoon now, and Miss Stuart has been very busy recently. Due to her unique insights into financial development, she is now allowed by the king to participate in the kingdom's new financial and banking policies.

This is a good opportunity for the third princess. Due to her identity, she has little influence in the army. Her brothers, who have already grown up and participated in government affairs, have already had intricate connections with the military forces.

Of course, all this is done under the supervision of their father.

So now it is a good opportunity for Her Highness the Third Princess to intervene in the kingdom's new policies, because the army and the crown (the currency of the Kingdom of Hampavo) are both indispensable tools to the throne.

"Dolores misses you very much."

"Oh? Really?"

Jenkins pretended not to understand the meaning of this sentence and turned to look at the falling snow outside the window. But she could see a faint smile on Alexia's face from the corner of her eye. She knew exactly what the man was thinking.

"She already knew about Julia's matter. Although no one mentioned it tacitly, I think she has guessed that you have the ability to send her to Nolan at any time."

The short lady did not look at Jenkins, who was pretending to look at the snow, and reached out to pick up the wine glass. She rarely drinks, but she is not like Jenkins who does not drink at all.

In fact, for people of this era, not drinking at all is a very strange thing, and only foreign visitors have such a habit.

"I neglected this matter, but I don't think Miss Stuart will make such a request in the short term."

"Yes, she respects Julia's opinion very much, which is one of her many advantages."

The woman's eyes moved to the kitten on Jenkins' leg. The cat keenly felt that someone was looking at it, raised its right front paw and made a self-proclaimed deterrent action, but that action was just cute and not deterrent.

Chapter 930 Chapter 913 The Approaching War

Although there was no wind in the room, the flames in the fireplace were still swaying gently. It was still winter in Rune, which seemed to be a whole season away from Nolan.

"When I chatted with Bishop Palod at noon today, he thought the war was about to start again."

"The war has never ended."

Alexia said:

"Whether the Duke of Antak's behavior this time is related to the Cheslan royal family, Fidictli will not miss such a good opportunity. And this time the Duke of Antak did too much. The Skeleton Sword is the public enemy of mankind... The church will acquiesce to the Fidictli Kingdom using this as an excuse to formally declare war on Cheslan. This is almost certain to happen."

"So will the Kingdom of Hampavo get involved?"

Jenkins knew Miss Stuart's intelligence network and could easily find out about these things.

"The Duke of Antak's crime was exposed yesterday. I think the news from Nolan has not yet reached the city. But I can already guess the decision of the Stuart royal family. Dolores' father is not a peace-loving king."

"I understand."

Jenkins nodded slowly, feeling a little melancholy about the dark clouds of war. He did not doubt Alexia's judgment at all. In fact, he thought so too.
