The Master of the Strange Realm

Chapter 1525 Chapter 1502 Arrival of Family

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was a little tense for a while. The countess shook the wine glass in her hand leisurely, with a smile on her beautiful white lips. Jenkins tried hard to overwhelm the opponent with his momentum, because he really couldn't defeat the monster in front of him:

"You're threatening the church."

He pointed this out.

"Yes, it is a threat. I can tell you clearly that the power of the Mystic Lock [Scarlet Dinner] has accumulated to a high enough level. There is no way for you to kill me inside the Mystic Lock. Give the answer in the church You have one week before that. If the time is up but I don’t see those three items, I will further expand the scope of the mystery.”

She was quite confident, and Jenkins narrowed his eyes. The woman in front of me didn't tell the truth. It's not that she couldn't be killed in the mystery lock, she just needed a very powerful attack.

Killing her with one blow and then destroying her body and soul from the source can completely eliminate her, but the problem is that mortals don't seem to have such ability, and Jenkins has not had divinity in him for a long time.

"As a sign of sincerity for 'cooperation', I have safely sent your other three companions out of the Mystery Lock. You two can leave here at any time, and I have opened the nearest road for you."

She pointed with a finger painted with red nail polish to the door behind Jenkins. The door creaked open a crack, and behind the crack was the quiet corridor of the manor.

"I want to ask you a question."

He frowned and said:

"You left Nolan and hid in Belduran for the purpose of taking refuge, and now you appear in this way. Aren't you worried that the god in the oil painting will appear again?"

"I admit that I did escape here to avoid being pursued by believers of lies."

The Countess nodded slightly and admitted, but Jenkins did not remember that he or Feeney had chased anyone else.

"But everything is different. My stupid kin were killed because they tried to release a terrible creature sealed in the red moon. But I have no such purpose. The great one obviously will not just because of me. Appeared again and refused to let me go... As for the believers in lies, unfortunately, I happened to find a good group of helpers. "

Jenkins directly equated the helper she found with the "tree house", so she stood up without saying a word, then took Miss Capet's hand and turned to leave. He had to admit that he had nothing to do at the moment. He was no match for the vampire within the Mystery Lock. Even if all his power was revealed and the power of the Holy Son was revealed, he would still be no match for her.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such a difficult situation.

They didn't encounter any more enemies on the way out of the manor, and the countess opened the most convenient path for them. At first neither Jenkins nor Miss Capet spoke, until later the young woman asked cautiously:

"Jenkins, do you also have the blood of a different race?"

"I thought you knew it already, otherwise why would you always encourage me to go with you to ask Miss Knight that question?"

"Because we are all companions in the mirror world adventure, and Miss Knight mysteriously disappeared midway..."

She said hesitantly.

"So do you know what race you are descended from? This is a very important clue."

Jenkins asked again.

"Yes, I think I am probably a descendant of elves. It can be easily seen from my outstanding life-related abilities and talents, and my extraordinary affinity for plants and animals. Even recently, I suddenly found that I understand something inexplicably. Although there are only a few words in Elvish, I swear I have never been exposed to such knowledge."

She confided her troubles to Jenkins, who nodded while listening, feeling a bit like himself before he knew the truth.

"actually, I......"

He tried again to tell the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the surprise cry of the lady next to him. It turned out that the gate of the courtyard had already appeared in front of him.

Just as the countess said, Miss Knight and the other three people had already left the manor early. Before Miss Jenkins and Miss Cape appeared, almost all rescue measures had been discussed outside. The Sage Church even directly sent demigods. The plan was made to dismantle the mystery lock regardless of the consequences.

For the two of them to return safely is naturally the best outcome imaginable. After testing that they were not infected by the [Blood Mosquito Curse], Jenkins and Miss Capet were able to tell the church the information they learned, the little Paramount ring, and the conversation with the Countess.

This is quite important news, so tonight's exploration activities are suspended and all plans must be re-formulated. The 12 Righteous God Churches present will send representatives to hold a meeting again tomorrow morning to discuss this matter. So far, no one has agreed to compromise with the woman in the mystery.

This whole process had already reached one o'clock in the morning on Monday. Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Gilbert were exhausted and sitting around the campfire at the temporary residence of the Sage Church outside the manor to talk about today's events. Both of them were very troubled. The manor was located on the outskirts of Beldiran. Once the blood mosquito curse spread, the entire city of Beldiran would be doomed.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jenkins got up and prepared to go to the station to meet his family. It just so happened that there was nothing for him to do here today, so after saying goodbye to everyone in the church, he took the church's carriage to the station on the other side of the city.

The nights in Belduran were as peaceful as Nolan's, except that they lacked the weird fog that enveloped the city. Jenkins in the carriage was leaning against the small window, blowing in the wind and thinking about things. The cat lay on his lap with squinted eyes, not sure whether it was dozing off or already asleep.

After returning from Loen this time, everything that happened was beyond plan. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to become the king. In fact, he did not have a high sense of identity with this country. After all, he had only been here for less than a year. This short period of time did not make him feel more confident about becoming the king here. The king has any interests or responsibilities and missions.

Sighing, I arrived at the station. As expected, the train was delayed. After waiting for half an hour, I saw that the driver of the locomotive in the distance had hung up his lights. After a while, as the wheels made regular contact and trembled with the rails, the train spewing steam came to a stop in the station amid scattered white mist.

People waiting at the door of the carriage rushed out of the carriage with an unbearable smell. The station, which was originally empty and silent, was immediately crowded with people pulling suitcases and holding hats. Noisy sounds filled my ears, and vendors who came from nowhere rushed to squeeze in the crowd to sell their food and souvenirs.

For a moment, it seemed as if this place had changed from the deepest night to a city square at noon, but after a while the flow of people disappeared and merged into the maze of streets in the huge city. It was quiet again here, leaving only garbage on the ground and Jenkins standing at the entrance of the station.

Chapter 1527 Chapter 1503 Separated Family

After the crowd dispersed, Jenkins waved to welcome the last family members to walk out of the station, accompanied by three gentlemen sent by the church to protect their safety.

Mary was the first to see Jenkins standing in the moonlight with the cat. She roughly thrust the suitcase she was pulling into her husband's hands, then ran two steps quickly to Jenkins and hugged him.

"Oh, my little Jenkins, this is the longest time we have been apart since you were born. Why have you lost weight? Is the Yankee food not delicious?"

"My mother never spoke to me like that."

John said, standing next to Robert, carrying a schoolbag and a suitcase, and wearing a gray coat. The coat belonged to the eldest brother, Newman Willamt. The evidence was that Newman was wearing only a shirt and stood to the left of the head of the family, Robert Willamt, smiling giggling.

"John, it's not your turn to complain now. When you leave us like the heartless Newman and Jenkins, I will do the same to you."

Mary let go of Jenkins who was almost strangled to death, turned around and said to her youngest son, and then reminded her slightly seriously:

"Remember what I said, you must always follow me or your father in Beldiran. This is not Nolan. We can't find you if you get lost!"

"I am already ten this year..."

He wanted to refute, but realized that this was not a good idea, so he obediently shut his mouth mid-sentence, but he did not forget to wink at Jenkins, indicating that he was still dissatisfied with his mother's strict requirements.

The family didn't expect Jenkins to come to pick them up. They thought it would be several days before Jenkins arrived at Belduran. Knowing that he got the news from his father, Robert did not forget to ask about his father's current situation, and then said that the hotel they booked was the same hotel where his father lived.

"Actually, I also have my own house in Beldiran. You can..."

Jenkins wanted to suggest that the whole family live here, but Robert shook his head before he could finish his words:

"We came to Belduran for a trip, and you still have church and father's work. What's it like living together? It's hard for the family to travel together, so don't mix it with your work. You can come find us when you have time, wouldn’t it be much more convenient?”

This sounds like a reasonable reason, but Jenkins' [Priest of Lies] actually reminded him that Robert was lying. He didn't know whether the lie referred to "travel" or other words, so he looked at Mary. He thought that as the mother of the three Williamte brothers, Mary would definitely object to everyone living apart.

"Yes, what your father said makes sense. So Newman lives in his fiancée's house, Jenkins lives in his own house, and we take little John to live downstairs in dad's house."

"Newman doesn't live with you either?"

Jenkins wondered again, and then looked at his elder brother, who shrugged helplessly:

"Don't ask me why, this is what father and mother insisted on."

Even as slow as Jenkins was, he knew that Robert had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so he didn't want all his children to live together. Jenkins didn't know what he was worried about. If it was really a security issue, then it would be safest if the whole family lived in the church.

"But if one of our three brothers is really likely to become king, then living in the Sage's Church on the eve of taking over the crown seems to be a source of trouble."

He thought of this again and felt inexplicably depressed. Before Jenkin came to this world, he knew very well that any family involved in disputes about the throne and power would probably not end well in the end. He had always avoided letting himself come into contact with forces that were too secular, but it was obvious that he could not control his destiny. .

The carriage first sent Newman Willamt to his fiancée's home in Belduran, and then took the family to the hotel in the city. Dad had come back to rest a long time ago. He knew that the Williamt family would arrive at about this time, so he came specially to welcome them.

While chatting, he motioned to Jenkins not to leave in a hurry. Therefore, after settling his parents and younger brother, Jenkins did not go home immediately with chocolates, but went to his father's room on the higher floor.

"I heard about what happened to you at the manor. It was interesting."

"Are you referring to the three items that the vampire asked for? I also think this is interesting. I noticed that those three items are all related to [blood]. This is definitely not a coincidence. If the church investigates the connection between these three items in depth, , maybe we can know what the countess wants to do. Oh, and the forces behind her are probably also cultists. "

Jenkins said as he sat on the chair next to the desk next to the bed, and at the same time noticed an open book under the gas table lamp. The name of the book was "Elven Chronicles" and it was written in Elvish.

"That's not all that's interesting. You're missing the point, Jenkins. Do you remember where this came from in the first place?"

Dad asked.

"That mirror."

“What is the positive effect of that mirror?”

"Absorb curses and diseases... But I remember you said that the mirror cannot absorb very powerful curses, let alone curse-like monsters."

Jenkins was confused.

"It doesn't mean it's useless if it can't be completely absorbed. At least the mirror can slow down the duration and time of the curse. Do you think [Blood Mosquito Curse] is a completely positive curse? Even for vampires, monsters must be monsters. , a normal soul and body will not end well if they become a container of curse."

Dad explained, and Jenkins finally understood:

"Are you saying that Count Paramount's wife, the vampire, is actually unable to completely control the blood mosquito curse? She gave us a one-week period, which is actually the period within which she can control the curse... Request Those three items may have other reasons, but at least it is certain that one of the three items must have the function of controlling the [Blood Mosquito Curse], and the good news is that those three items are all in the hands of the Zhengshen Church! "

Jenkins straightened out his thoughts immediately, and his father nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Jenkins was quite sharp.

"Those three Class B extraordinary items have been urgently transferred from Nolan to Beldiran overnight. The airship sent to you can do just that. We will be able to see them tomorrow morning. In addition, your description It is mentioned in the article that the gate of the manor building is surrounded by a circle of steam pipes. This sounds very much like some kind of special means of sealing the curse. [Creation and Mechanic Church] and [Gear Artisans Guild] are good at doing this. Maybe vampires are here I have already established a relationship with those cultists. Oh, there is one more thing I am curious about. It seems that both you and Cappe are hiding the same thing."

Dad looked at Jenkins, who nodded in acknowledgement.

Chapter 1528 Episode 1504 The King’s Interview

"Yes, we didn't say the reason why the countess invited the two of us instead of the other three. In fact, it was because she smelled that we all have the blood of a different race, so she did not consider us to be human beings."

Because the report was submitted to all twelve churches, neither Jenkins nor Miss Cappe spoke of this private fact. But thinking about it, Miss Capet will also report this matter to the [Church of All Things and Nature] separately in the future.

This was not an important thing originally. Although the descendants and atavisms of heterogeneous races in this era are very rare, it does not mean that there are none. Dad specifically mentioned this matter, which made Jenkins think that he might have guessed the truth.

"This is very interesting. At this time, Capet was suddenly transferred to Beldilan..."

Dad thought deeply, then looked at Jenkins suspiciously, but ultimately said nothing. Old people have the wisdom of old people, and Jenkins would not bother to guess what his father had thought. Even if Dad knew about the relationship between Miss Capet and the Williamson family, he would not be able to send someone to assassinate Miss Capet. At most, the Sage Church will adjust its existing policies to deal with the possible emergence of new successors to the throne.

"I seem to be following the crowd now. Everyone is worried about the crown. I am the only one who wants to wait and see what happens...Should I also take the initiative to do something? Not for the crown, just for the sake of it. This incident will not lead to bigger problems, and the final ending can be enjoyed by everyone.”

He thought silently and said goodbye to his father with his cat.

(Chocolate running...)

Jenkins had breakfast with Alexia and Dolores in Loen on Monday. Today was a very important day. Salsi II asked all his children to bring an adjutant to see him to summarize and report the recent political affairs.

This was a very serious assessment, which might even affect the choice of the successor to the throne in the future, so Dolores reminded Jenkins last week to arrive in time.

After lunch, Jenkins set off with Dolores. Of course, he could not use his own face, so he changed his image at least 30 times in the carriage, allowing Dolores to choose at will.

Entering the royal palace, the atmosphere became tense. Dolores's brothers and sisters also arrived early, and everyone was waiting quietly in the huge reception room. Generally speaking, this reception room was used by Salsi II to receive important foreign envoys. This time, the princes and princesses were specially asked to wait here, which might have some hidden meaning.

It was not that everyone faced the assessment together, but that they took their adjutants to the study to meet Salsi II alone according to their age.

Because all the children of the kings were here today, Dolores, who was younger, was placed at the back. It was already past ten when she and Jenkins entered the study.

The king in the study looked very tired. Even though it was almost summer in Rune, he still had a snow-white fur collar on his shoulders. When I entered the study, I happened to see Salsi II rubbing his temple. Compared with the last time I saw him, this seriously ill man looked at least ten years older.

I thought he would ask some difficult questions, but I didn't expect that most of the questions were about Dolores' life. The rarely mentioned political affairs were also to give her advice and help, which made Dolores a little overwhelmed.

In addition to Dolores, Jenkins also met Salsi II for the second time as the adjutant of the little princess Ajelina Stuart. It was already noon. Ajelina was the youngest princess allowed to participate in political affairs. This collective meeting ended with a conversation with her.

At first, they still asked about trivial matters in life, and even talked about the abnormal weather in Loen this year. Salsi II knew that Ajelina had completely given her power to Dolores, so he didn't say much about government affairs, but just asked her and her sister to learn more, which would be helpful no matter what she did in the future.

After saying this, he asked Ajelina to rest in the quiet room of the study for a while, leaving the adjutant who appeared for the second time alone.

After Ajelina closed the door obediently, the old king sighed, and he couldn't hide his fatigue:

"Tell me, which side sent you again."

"I am Mr. Jenkins Williamite's man."

He stood upright in front of the desk and told the truth. The situation just now seemed like watching someone else's defense, but now it became himself.

"It's true. Love makes young people impulsive. They always don't understand that there are many things in this world that are more important than love."

The old king sighed, holding his hands together, and the fingers of his left hand rubbed the ring on his right hand.
