The Master of the Strange Realm

"In order to welcome Earl Biden of the Kingdom of Fidictry and Viscount Wilson of the Kingdom of Chesland, the diplomatic department prepared a special reception, and we princesses and princes also received invitations. Jenkins, can you come with me? "

Alexia asked. Jenkins thought for a while and nodded in agreement, but still had some questions:

"Why did Cheslan only send one viscount as a special envoy? Isn't this specification insufficient?"

"Viscount Wilson is related by marriage to the Stuart royal family, and the Viscount Madison Wilson who came this time has lived in Loon before he was 18 years old and is quite familiar with the city's social circle. He earned his title by himself. His father, Old Wilson, is the powerful Duke of Chesland, and he only has two sons, so Chesland sent quite capable people this time.”

Julia explained on the sidelines. Only then did Jenkins understand, and therefore understand the reason why Alexia said last night that Roen would become more "chaotic".

After experiencing Nolan's two adventures in succession, Jenkins has become exhausted, so he plans to take a break recently and try to avoid any outing except for hanging out near Nolan's Civic Square every day.

So starting from Wednesday of this week, he spent a lot of time in Runen's manor. In addition to completing the study tasks sent remotely by my father every day, I also help Dolores handle some official documents.

The financial department she led is now on the right track, and because when her confidants came to visit, they saw Jenkins walking around with the cat in Dolores's house many times, so "foreign writers and The rumor that the princesses are living together spread like wildfire in Loen’s aristocratic social circle.

Jenkins didn't know this. Alexia mentioned this during a chat one night. At that time, the two of them were lying on the roof watching the stars. The night sky in the north was really beautiful, and there was no thick fog covering the sky. , you can see the starry sky and the bright galaxy from the manor in the suburbs.

"Are you suspecting that Dolores deliberately spread this news?"

Jenkins asked, then felt his cat nuzzling the side of his face.

"Do you still have any doubts about this?"

Alexia asked, and Jenkins wanted to nod, but it was difficult to do this because he was lying down.

Just like that, the weekend of this week has come. Both Luen and Nolan have been quite peaceful this week. Apart from learning about the battle situation on the front line from newspapers every day, life seems to go on peacefully.

During this period, Jenkins completed eight transactions with the old man in the clock tower in the doomsday illusion, and only the last two were left to push the illusion away. Nolan is still tracking down the strange events that have occurred frequently recently, but there are no clues about the Titans at all. The alien invasion was because Jenkins, Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat, threw the ambassador's body into the street, so a certain little The principality was in bad luck.

It just so happened that it was during the war, and the kingdom also needed to do something to scare the monkeys and warn the restless elements in the country. Before the Guao Principality could even react, it was attacked by Fidicli's cavalry regiment. They did not trouble the common people, but the palace where the Duke lived was said to have been razed to the ground.

The information received from Miss Bevanna proves that the Guao Principality is related to the [Tree House]. The latter has almost penetrated into the principality, and this alien invasion was also caused by them. The purpose seems to be simply to cause disaster.

"Needless to say I know what they want to do."

Jenkins thought in his mind when he heard the news.

He also took the time to visit Miss Audrey who lived on the outskirts of Nolan during his free days. Miss Audrey recommended Jenkins to "divide" the origins of those terrifying alien species when they came to the city. This was certainly not a decision made on a whim.

"Of course this was not a whim, it was destiny that led me to do this."

Sitting on her couch, the woman laughed and told Jenkins that while she could indeed see destiny, Jenkins thought this was a joke.

"So what's the reason?"

he asked.

"Because this matter needs to be solved by you, I'm just providing a way for you to get involved."

"Do you know something?"

Jenkins thought about the third white gem that appeared on the Catastrophe Canto at the end of the incident.

"Soothsayers always think that we know more than ordinary people, but in fact we are just seeing the future through thick fog. I never admit that I can see more things. All of this is the result of divination and prophecy. "

She said cryptically, but looked quite pleased that Jenkins had asked the question.

"Although fate is unpredictable, it is not without any signs. The fact that you can find something wrong in this shows that my teachings over the past six months have not been in vain."

"It's just because you were so obvious in this..."

Jenkins muttered feebly, doubting very much whether the other party had seen the future indicated by the next emblem through "The Epic of Time". But it didn't matter, because Miss Audrey was obviously helping him, and there was no need for him to try to figure everything out.

Jenkins was busy between Rune and Nolan due to various trivial matters, and Dolores was also busy due to busy official duties. Alexia was not idle. She spent a week studying the body of Mr. Corpse brought back by Jenkins, and made significant gains.

"Sorry Alexia, did you really dissect the body?"

When he heard the news, Jenkins was still a little surprised.

Chapter 1401 Chapter 1378 Reception

"What, will dissecting a corpse affect my image in your mind?"

The short lady flipped her hair and asked teasingly.

"of course not."

Jenkins shook his head quickly: "I'm just curious how you know how to do an autopsy. This is not a skill that can be learned through ordinary means."

"As long as you are determined, there is nothing you cannot learn. A long time ago, I knew a gravekeeper who lived in the country. Yes, a gravekeeper who retired from the church, and a very rare female gravekeeper. I am She worked as an apprentice for a period of time and learned professional autopsy techniques... Do you still want to hear the conclusion? This is really a surprising discovery. The body itself is of little value, at best. When used as a casting material for the [Corpse Explosion Technique], it can explode even more powerfully. The real value is that I found the cause of death.”

"Are you saying that Mr. Corpse became the cause of death of the corpse, or the cause of death when he was killed in front of me?"

Jenkins asked.

"It's the latter. I extracted this from those dense wounds that seemed to have been penetrated by hundreds of arrows!"

As she spoke, she showed Jenkins the glass vial in her hand, which was less than the thickness of her index finger. This type of vial was a device purchased by gifters when processing materials. Otherwise, it could only be found in laboratories of higher universities.

"Is this...Yuehua?"

I stretched my head and squinted for a while, then I saw clearly that the small bottle contained a liquid with a light yellow luster, which looked very attractive. Jenkins took it and looked at the night sky outside the window before guessing what it was, because the moonlight should be blue or red in common sense.

The cat lying on the coffee table immediately became alert.

"Yes, you once said that what killed Mr. Corpse should be the projection of the original moon from the doomsday illusion. Now it seems that this guess is completely correct. The nature of these moonlights is more ancient, and it is more ancient than [no light] The moonlight extracted by believers of "The Moon" is more solid and spiritual, and its color is consistent with the records of the original moon in the material world. This is really amazing. I originally thought that the doomsday illusion was really just an illusion, but now it seems that it should contain something. It is very valuable to know the information, material and even spiritual things that really existed in past history.

If you have time, you can walk around there more while ensuring your own safety. You may accidentally make a big discovery that changes humankind's understanding of history. "

Alexia said, then took the small bottle from Jenkins' hand and put it on the coffee table. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but she happened to place the bottle in front of the cat. Chocolate hunched over and stretched out his head to sniff, showing great vigilance.

Large-scale wars can never end in a day or two. Not to mention the head-on battle between the two countries, even the decisive battle on the Broken Islands off the coast, which has been receiving frequent good news since last week, has no news of ending yet.

On the one hand, the people living in Nolan are concerned about whether their relatives can return smoothly (the Royal Navy has the largest number of Nolan soldiers), on the other hand, they are worried that they will be immediately thrown into another war.

The day Jenkins' letter from Loon to Nolan reached Britney, Hathaway expressed her concerns about the war at the club. This worry is common in the city, and only families like the Williamte family, where no one has joined the army, show some indifference.

"My father sent a letter to my mother from the front line, saying that things are going well, that the final battle will be over soon, and that he will go home after that... Since last week, every letter from him has been like this According to this theory, my mother has been overly worried and asked him to put her fingerprints on the letter next time to prove that he is still alive. "

said the red-haired lady.

"It should be over soon. The naval battle on the Broken Islands has been going on for almost two months. Even if both sides want to persist, there will probably be problems with supplies. It is a naval battle after all... Don't worry, Nolan Navy's You should know better than me about combat effectiveness.”

Jenkins comforted in a low voice, not knowing what to say.

It seemed like within a week, everyone around him was affected by the war. Rune and Nolan's ladies, his friends around the world, would all mention the impact of the war on their lives in conversation, and only cats who lived a carefree life would not care about the war, except occasionally in Jenkins. Eavesdrop on the content during the conversation as a daily entertainment activity.

The diplomatic reception Dolores invited Jenkins to was Tuesday night, the last day of April. The arrival of May also means that summer is coming soon. Thinking of this, Jenkins feels melancholy, because he spent the best time of spring in this snow country, missing out on the opportunity he came to this world. The first spring.

It's not that he doesn't like Luen, it's just that it's always a pity to miss the spring.

Alexia did not participate in such activities. She wanted to read a book in the manor. Julia could not attend such a high-end wine party, so she also stayed in the manor.

Jenkins originally planned to keep the chocolates. It would be very rude to bring pets in such social situations. He didn't really care about his own face, but this was a drinking party invited by Dolores, and he couldn't let Dolores lose face.

Of course, Chocolate would not agree, and kept making trouble when Jenkins was changing clothes, and finally almost scrapped the black dress top from the church. Jenkins could only agree to take it, but it could only be hidden in the clothes and could not be moved.

"So you wore so many clothes today, just to avoid showing that your chest was swollen?"

When I met Alexia on the second floor, she smiled and commented on Jenkins's dress. Now Rune has completely passed the winter, and there is no need to wear so many clothes under the dress at night.

"But you have to admit that this way of dressing is very formal. It is said that people will wear it like this when attending a cocktail party."

He said stubbornly.

"Yes, but that was the fashion three hundred years ago. Now probably only the elderly nobles will choose this style of dress when attending the king's banquet... Maybe you also need a curly white wig, which will look more matching."

Jenkins finally chose to accept Alexia's advice, removed the cumbersome clothes, and changed into clothes that matched Dolores's dress. But this way there is no place for Chocolate to hide, but Alexia thinks it is OK for Chocolate to stand on Jenkins' shoulders.

PS: After the reminder of the spy, a bug has been fixed. Chapter 1218 mentioned that the maximum number of chess pieces that can be taken outside the North Country is one, now it has been changed to two.

Section 1402 Chapter 1379 Count Biden

"Although few people bring pets to such occasions, considering that you are a foreigner and you are very handsome, people may not care about Chocolate."

Alexia comforted.

This cocktail party was not held in the city, but in the manor owned by the royal family at the other end of the city. Usually no one lives here. Dolores's deceased grandfather only comes to stay for a while every winter, so it is just right to hold a cocktail party.

Because the temperature has warmed up, the cocktail party is not only indoors. In fact, at the door of the manor, you can see a long table that stretches all the way to the door of the house. On the table are various foods and fine wines served with silverware and plates.

When Jenkins and Dolores arrived, there were already quite a few people. Men and women were holding glasses and talking in the courtyard or in the manor house. There were jewels and lively conversations everywhere.

"Can I not drink?"

After jumping off the carriage, he took the initiative to turn around and hold Dolores' hand with white lace gloves. The latter nodded gently, smiling and keeping an extremely solemn expression on her face.

The arrival of Jenkins and Dolores did not cause any sensation at the reception, because there were many people more important than them, and the protagonists this time were not these princes and princesses.

According to convention, Dolores first took Jenkins to greet the nominal host of the reception, a distant relative of the Stuart royal family, an old earl who was idle in Rune. The earl was very kind and did not forget to ask Jenkins if he liked the eating habits of the North Country, and told him that the Fidicteli envoys had arrived.

After meeting the old earl, he would naturally meet Dolores's brothers and sisters. Because of the war between the two southern countries, the succession to the throne of Loen is no longer the only hot spot of people's attention, but this does not mean that everything will be suspended.

When greeting the Stuarts, Dolores still maintained that elegant and calm attitude. The two sides talked in a lukewarm manner, and it was not clear that they were enemies or how intimate they were.

However, Dolores's eldest brother showed great hostility to Jenkins. Not only did he hint at Jenkins's status as a baron at the beginning of his speech, but he also ridiculed him for bringing a cat to such a serious social reception.

Jenkins just thought he was annoyed by flies for a while and didn't care about his attitude.

The Fidicteli envoys and the Cheslan envoys came earlier than Jenkins and Dolores. When the two were entangled by the conversation, Jenkins noticed that the former was talking to some nobles from the northern country in the small garden of the courtyard, and the latter was talking to another group of old nobles wearing wigs in the lobby of the building.

"Should I go over and say hello?"

He knew that only at this time would he remember the position he should take. The original owner and his family were all Fidicteli. Although not all of them were from the same family, at least this generation quite recognized this identity.

In fact, someone had thought of this earlier than him. When Dolores was surrounded by several young girls - they seemed to be her cousins ​​- someone handed Jenkins a note. Jenkins looked down, then gestured to Dolores, and walked alone to the small garden on the side of the courtyard. Anyone with a keen eye could see this scene, but even the most sensitive socialite did not realize what it meant.

"Good evening, Baron Williamette."

As soon as they met, Earl Biden took the initiative to dismiss everyone around him, and asked the three guards he brought with him to monitor the small pavilion in the garden to prevent eavesdropping, then put his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed slightly to Jenkins. This is a completely unceremonious way of greeting. With Earl Biden's status, at least the real duke of the kingdom or a member of the royal family can accept his etiquette, and the real duke often has a close relationship with the royal family.

"Good evening, Earl Biden, it's an honor to meet you in a foreign night. I hope you can get used to the eating habits here."

Earl Biden saluted, and Jenkins was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to respond. The former noticed that he was at a loss and took the initiative to straighten up and start chatting, eliminating the need to talk about the cumbersome etiquette.

"Baron Williamt, before I came to Loen, I heard that you were here as a guest. I originally thought about whether I would have a chance to see you, but I didn't expect that we would meet so easily. I just saw the man and you The beautiful lady who appeared together, is that Her Royal Highness Dolores Stuart?"

He was asking questions knowingly. Before he came to Loen as a diplomatic envoy, he must have known most of the situation here. He would definitely not fail to recognize the princesses of the royal family, especially the princesses who participated in the fight for the throne.

"Yes, I am currently staying at Miss Stuart's house."

he admitted.

"Your Highness is really a beautiful lady, and you have very good taste. Oh, I remembered something. In fact, I heard about it when I was in Belduran. The Queen intends to promote your title to Viscount. This year ..."

Earl Biden is very talkative, and he seems to have already prepared for tonight's conversation with Jenkins. Everything he says follows Jenkins's train of thought. The two talked about the weather in Beldiran and Loen, the scale of the reception, and even briefly talked about the war with Chesland.

Earl Biden hinted that his country's chances of winning this war are very high. Now he only needs to wait for the naval battle on the Western Front to end and put the Nolan Navy into the frontal battlefield. By then, it will have a crushing advantage over Chesland.

Of course, since he met with Jenkins so enthusiastically, he would not just chat about these topics. The conversation lasted twenty minutes before he finally got to the point.

"What do you think of Loen's political situation?"

"...It's confusing."

Jenkins told the truth.

"It is indeed very chaotic. The situation here is worse than I expected before I came here. I think you must have heard the rumors that the Viscount of Chesland and I were summoned by His Majesty, but in fact there is no result. Not coming out. His Majesty’s suggestion that we should convince the Stuart heirs instead of convincing him is puzzling to me.”

Count Biden said.

"Oh, I think I probably know the reason for this. You have just arrived in Loen, so there are probably some things you don't know yet. It is indeed difficult to find out, but if you are willing, you can also hear the news. In fact, Salsi II His Majesty has announced to the young princes and princesses the method of selecting the next king, which is to evaluate them according to their respective government affairs abilities. Obviously, dealing with troublesome envoys from foreign countries is also an important part of government affairs abilities... ...Don’t tell others that I am the one who said this. Logically speaking, Her Highness Dolores Stuart should not tell me such a private matter.”

He said this, and Earl Biden immediately showed an expression of understanding, and then thought deeply about Jenkins' words.

Chapter 1403 Chapter 1380 Ribbon

"Speaking of which, do you have any plans to go to Beldiland before this summer?"

Earl Biden thought for a while and then suddenly asked.

"Summer? Last autumn, Miss Windsor invited me to go to her manor outside Belduran for summer vacation. If she still remembers this, I think I will indeed go to Belduran. Miss Windsor is... ..."

"What I know is that she is the daughter of the Duke of Windsor. She is really a very capable lady. Many men cannot compare with her... I suggest that you must go to Belduran when you have time. It has been a long time since you last obtained It has been half a year since the Reiter Award, and a lot of changes have taken place there. You will definitely gain a lot of wonderful things during your next trip to Belduran.”

He said vaguely, strongly recommending Jenkins to go to Beldiran as soon as possible. But Jenkins hadn't even finished dealing with Luen and Nolan's affairs, so he wouldn't have time to go to Beldiland, so he could only say that he would definitely go when he had time.
