The Master of the Strange Realm

After a moment of silence, Miss Windsor lowered her head and nodded gently after a long time. But before Jenkins could speak, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Jenkins, her eyes seemed to be shining with light:

"Before you arrived at Beldiran, I did have this idea. I also have the right to inherit, and there are many people supporting me. Why not fight for it? But now I don't think so. I want to support you. Come and be king."

Miss Windsor closed her eyes, then nodded her head again. When she opened her eyes again, she had already made up her mind:

"Compared to me, you are the most legitimate heir of the Middleton family. And you are more suitable to be a king than me."

Jenkins doesn't know how she arrived at this conclusion.

"Jenkins Redemption William, I want to support you to become the king. And as a price, after you succeed, I want to become a new generation of Duke of Windsor, not just the current Duke of Windsor, I want more . And as a price, everything I have can be your stepping stone to the throne."

Saying Jenkins by her middle name represents her seriousness and seriousness. Just when she said the word "Redemptor", Miss Windsor felt inexplicably weird again, yes, the kind of weirdness that seemed to shout out history and destiny.

"You don't have to talk to me about this...I'm not alone. I have my own team and helpers."

He chose the word "team" for lack of a better word.

"You mean Marquis Michael and Count Hesha? Yes, they are indeed very useful. If you gain their support, it is equivalent to gaining the support of the Kingdom's navy."

Miss Windsor said.

"Huh? Them? Yes, yes, there are them. No, these two are not the point. I mean the friends I can really trust completely. You can talk to my friends, they are more professional and more professional. Plan and prepare.”

"friend?"

Miss Windsor thought that Jenkins was so confident because he had received hints from the church.

"Yes, we just mentioned that the Stuart royal family delegation is about to arrive locally. The scale of this delegation will exceed your expectations, and my friend Princess Dolores Stuart will also come with her. With her father here, you can talk to her, you can think of her as myself, she can represent me."

"So the rumors are true? Nolan's writer captured a princess from a foreign country in two months in the North Country?"

Miss Windsor was relieved, knowing the source of Jenkins' confidence, so she was finally in the mood to make a little joke. She herself, coupled with important naval officials of her country, powerful foreign princesses, and maybe even church forces, is already good. All that's left is to win more support from the nobility and the people, and at the same time find a way to change the Queen's mind. Although this is not easy, it is not completely impossible.

"Don't be so exaggerated. Dolores and I...we just met by fate."

He thought of the original "pen pal letter" that Julia sent to the wrong address. It really seemed like fate.

"Do you have any difficulties now? Although Dolores has not arrived yet, I also have my own power in Beldiran. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly. I think we can be regarded as an alliance now. We are facing problems can be solved together.”

He added that this is the church.

PS: To officially confirm, Jenkins does not know that "The Unknown Way Ahead" is the emblem of the Savior. Someone did hint to him before, such as Miss Bronyance and the Hovering Mist, but they were all vague hints and were not mentioned directly. , so I pretended he didn’t hear it.

In addition, regarding the mention of "Unknown Road Ahead" in the conversation between Jenkins and Alexia, the author searched the original draft and found only one place where it was mentioned, in Chapter 1,242 of the Difference Engine. , also modified.

The chapter on the psychological activities after obtaining [Hero] has also been revised.

If there is any detail that is contrary to "Jenkins does not know that the unknown road ahead is a emblem", you can leave a message in the post or in the comments, and the author will modify it together.

The modifications here will not affect other story content.

Chapter 1609 Chapter 1584 Jenkins’ Treasure

"My difficulties?"

Now that Jenkins mentioned it, Miss Windsor thought about it carefully. She has made up her mind to help Jenkins become king, so she will not be polite to him:

"Yes, there are indeed difficulties. I am very short of money, very short of money. The current situation is chaotic. I plan to organize some private armed forces, bribe government officials, and organize spies to collect intelligence. These will cost money, but I don't Maybe he convinced his father to take risks with the whole family."

Miss Windsor said it very straightforwardly. Jenkins also understands the power of money, but coincidentally, he is not the kind of person who is extremely rich, but he is not without options:

“If it’s not cash, is gold and jewelry okay?”

"Of course you can, but...are you saying that the church helps you by hiding it secretly? This is not allowed, it can be easily discovered."

"It's not a church, it's my personal treasure. It's located near Belduran."

Last winter, a small incident occurred after the 31st day of the cycle. Mr. Opler, the head of the Silver Jasmine Opera, was found dead in the sewer in the city. Later, it was discovered that this person's identity was forged. His real identity was Shelley Howell, a well-known thief who disappeared more than ten years ago and a believer of the false god Five-Handed Wanderer.

Later, it was learned that this person died because the cultists wanted to obtain B-02-2-9032 [Decomposer's Scalpel] on him, so that when the evil god Shenzi was born, he could cut off the umbilical cord connecting him to the mortal mother. Shenzi and the umbilical cord later triggered new stories respectively, and the soul of the "retired" thief who was implicated for no reason was accidentally summoned when Jenkins performed exorcism and spiritual communication for Mr. Nellie, the owner of the opera troupe (Chapter 504).

Jenkins therefore learned that the wealth stolen by this well-known thief from all over the world was stored in two treasure troves. One of them is located overseas, and it contains some numbered items, but it is suspected that it has been discovered by the Orthodox Church. The other place hides worldly wealth, which is located near Beldiran. Jenkins did not want to leave Nolan, and he did not have any trusted personnel to carry out large-scale excavation activities, so he had never thought of this wealth.

"Treasure? How much is it? You should have estimated it, right?"

Miss Windsor asked with interest, and Jenkins woke up from his memories:

"The specific number is definitely more than you think. If I want to describe it..."

He recalled the description given by the soul of the thief. Shelley Howell was regarded as the most successful and famous thief in modern times:

"If you pawn jewelry and accessories at the lowest price, you can probably buy the whole Nolan. However, there are some antiques that are difficult to estimate. Although I am an apprentice in an antique shop, I cannot estimate the price of any goods."

Jenkins only roughly revealed the location of the treasure to Miss Windsor, asking her to prepare the transport team and the excavation team first. As for the exact location, it will be revealed after Dolores and Alexia arrive in Beldiran. Jenkins is not the kind of person who trusts women without reason for no reason.

Miss Windsor's carriage took Jenkins to the hotel where the Williamites stayed. After the two discussed, they met again in the near future and reached a cooperation agreement. Then Jenkins entered the hotel with the cat and met his family in the room.

The last meeting was after the banquet last night. What happened in the banquet can be said to be enough to change the fate of the Williamites. But at least for the time being, no big changes have happened. The family is still living in the hotel and plans to return to Nolan in the near future. Their vacation time is about to end.

Among the family, mother Mary Williamites is probably the last person to know the news. A whole day, she still couldn't accept this fact. After Jenkins walked in, she hugged her son and kept saying thank you to the sage for letting Jenkins come back safely.

It seems that Mary is also deeply influenced by the rumors about royal struggles and court politics in those legendary novels. She did not regard this as a good thing, but thought it might threaten the safety of her family.

In fact, she was right.

The eldest brother Newman and the youngest brother John were also here. The family gathered together after a long absence, but they all looked a little unhappy. The mother was worried about the safety of the family. Newman and John were still a little angry about their father's "unfairness". The head of the family was thinking about the future of the family. Jenkins was silent and didn't know what to say.

The contact with the royal family not only did not bring happiness to the family, but brought more troubles.

In the end, it was the head of the family who started the topic and discussed with everyone about returning to Nolan. He and Newman both had their own jobs in Nolan, and the youngest son John was still in school. Although Beldiran was good, it was not their home.

The other family members also agreed to return to Nolan as soon as possible, because since the news was published in the newspaper this morning, the hotel where the family lived had received many letters from strangers. Although Queen Isabella invited them to move to Cold Spring Palace for a while, or to attend some formal social occasions with her, the family was not interested in this and just wanted to return to their own home.

Jenkins has seen all kinds of letters scattered on the table. These are invitations from nobles or factory owners who want to get close to the Williamite family for various reasons. But now is not the right time to do these things. It is absolutely wrong to act in a high profile before the battle for the throne ends.

Because they are officially recognized by the royal family, according to conventions and etiquette, the men of the Williamite family will automatically obtain the title of nobility. This will be a step for the Williamites to return to the Middleton family. Her Majesty should organize a ceremony or formal gathering, but Robert thinks that the family does not need to wait in Beldiran. He is a very perceptive person and sees the risks.

"In any case, since His Majesty has recognized the identity of our family, there is no possibility of regret. Those cumbersome ceremonies and processes can be postponed a little bit. Now return to Nolan, and before the candidate for the throne appears, keep in touch with His Majesty, or accept some invitations from local nobles, attend banquets and other occasions, and gradually adapt to your identity. When everything is settled, the new king will arrange a position for our family. At worst, it will be a noble without any power. This sounds better..."

I have to admit that Robert Willamt is an extremely sane person. He spent decades from being a refugee to Nolan, and has built a happy family and a successful career. In addition to luck, his own talent and hard work are also very important. Jenkins agreed with him, especially after knowing Queen Isabella's true intentions, he hoped that the family would stay away from the political whirlpool of Belduran.

Chapter 1610 Chapter 1585 Late night secret conversation

Judging from Robert's words, he didn't seem to think that Jenkins would definitely be able to take over the throne. Instead, he seemed to be sure that Her Majesty the Queen had other arrangements. From this point of view, Robert's political acumen is even higher than that of Jenkins. After all, the former has been struggling in this complex but constantly evolving era on his own for more than 20 years and has been quite successful, while the latter is just a young man with some knowledge.

Never underestimate the wisdom of older people, and Jenkin understands this very well.

Robert planned to return to Nolan next week with his family and asked Jenkins if he would go back with them. Jenkins has no plans yet. On the surface, everything he came to Belduran has been done, and all the enemies he encountered have been defeated, but he wants to welcome Alexia and Dolores here. Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking forward to the meeting between the two of them.

He claimed that he still had arrangements with the church, but he should be able to go back within half a month, so he might not go with his family. Mary looked a little worried, but Robert didn't care at all. He knew that Jenkins' status in the church was not ordinary, and it was quite extraordinary.

Before leaving, Jenkins said a few words to his eldest brother and younger brother alone. He didn't want the undecided throne to affect the relationship between the family, so he wanted to talk everything out. But it seems that Newman and John did not have any grudges against Jenkins because of this incident. They just complained about the unfairness of their father, and then told Jenkins that throughout the day, their mother Mary complained about hiding the incident from his father for so long.

Before saying goodbye, the eldest brother Newman Willamt also told Jenkins that when he returned to Nolan, he would bring his "female friends" from the party to his home for a dinner. The mother of the three brothers did not mention Jenkins' relationship problems tonight, but that was because more important things distracted her thoughts.

And once she returns to Nolan and is temporarily away from the right and wrong of Belduran, Mary will definitely remember this incident.

"Jenkins, I saw it last night. Those three girls are really good~"

Newman patted Jenkins on the shoulder, then winked and deliberately teased Jenkins:

"But our mother is a somewhat traditional person, so you must be prepared to deal with her. You also have to set an example for Little John. Mother does not want her sons to become so-called 'playboys.'"

With his eldest brother's "blessing", Jenkins left the room, but did not leave the hotel. Instead, he went straight upstairs and knocked on the door of his father's room upstairs. Dad knew that Jenkins would come tonight, so even though it was already ten o'clock in the evening, he was still reading and waiting for Jenkins.

"You did a great job today."

"Thank you, dad...you've already said this once."

He put the somewhat sleepy cat on the table, and the chocolate "meowed" and collapsed on the table like a puddle of water. Then he pulled up a chair and sat across from Dad. Dad put the book in his hand on the desk and said:

"After we separated just now, I went to the church to inquire about some information. I am basically sure that what you and Cape said that Tree House supported the vampire to cause trouble in Beldiland was to divert attention. This thing is true. The previous part You and the believers of lies each killed a member of the Gear Craftsmen Guild. We searched the hotel where they lived, deciphered the encrypted communications, and found that the treehouse and the Gear Craftsmen Guild had fully joined forces. Their true purpose , taking the opportunity of the Twelve Orthodox Church to set its sights on Beldiran, to liberate something terrible underground in Nolan.”

"I heard that the Scent Appreciation Committee has also been transferred to Nolan?"

Jenkins asked worriedly.

"Yes, their main body has been transferred to Nolan. And not only these things, I just heard the news. In the short two weeks since we all left Nolan, the strange layer of fog surrounding the city has become abnormal. At the same time, some people reported seeing strange things in the thick fog, things that did not resemble human shapes and completely violated common sense of biology.”

He sighed and knocked on the wooden desk next to him, hoping to drive away the bad luck:

"The Beldilan matter has come to an end for the time being, leaving only some finishing touches. But the Nolan matter has just begun. I am very worried. In addition, coupled with the rumors that Nolan City is the core of the fate of the end of the era, I always feel that Nolan City is the core of the fate of the end of the era. Lan is going to face something big."

"Didn't the believers who lied today also say that they are waiting for the church in Nolan?"

Jenkins reminded.

"Believers of lies are not a worry for the time being. Although they are not good people, at least they are not bad people. Now that all the conflicts have been transferred to Nolan, I think we should go back as soon as possible, at least within ten Go back before the Erzhengshen Church delegation arrives.”

That's just as well, because Jenkins longed for his home on St. George Street.

"Dad, there is one more thing."

Jenkins hesitated and asked again:

"Today I heard believers in lies mention...the Savior? Do you know what that is? I heard it mentioned by my Divination teacher, Miss Audrey, but she wouldn't elaborate."

Dad probably expected that Jenkins would ask this question a long time ago, and answered his question without any pause:

"This is one of the most important secrets of the end of the era. It can even be called the most important secret that people in the material world can master. Only a few people can know the truth, but I think I can tell you."

"now?"

Jenkins asked in surprise.

"Do you want to go to the bathroom? I can wait for you for a while."

"No, I mean right here? Don't I need to find a very formal room and have it told to me by the Keeper of Secrets or Pope St. Ponteffe in front of many people?"

"You look down on dad?"

Dad asked, and Jenkins had no more questions.

"You may have known from various channels and myths and legends that at the end of every era, a catastrophe that will affect the entire material world will inevitably occur. This kind of thing cannot be avoided and cannot be foreseen in advance. It can only happen when the star of destiny rises. There will be some signs after the sky, and as a response to the catastrophe at the end of the era, the world and destiny will also choose a savior. The seat of the savior in each era is not unique. After some... wonderful choices. , there will be a person who reaches the end, and this person is the real savior. Whether the world can survive the disaster at the end of the era requires the efforts of such a person... Although the future of the world will be It sounds unfair to others, but it is like this in all eras. This is also the most basic rule of our world. Just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, all souls will eventually come to an end. This is That's the rule."

Chapter 1611 Chapter 1586 Elves and Life

After carefully considering his father's words, Jenkins had some different understandings even though he had known these things for a long time.

"You are now a fifth-level benefactor, so I can tell you this matter. Do not tell anyone or inhumane about our conversation tonight, you know the secrecy of this matter."

Dad reminded.

"Level 5? Oh, yes, but it's already level 6. After killing the vampire this afternoon, it seems that the world will take credit for solving the [Blood Mosquito Curse]. Although it has not completely eliminated the curse from its roots. , but I think at least it will not appear again in this era, after all, there are not many years left in this era.”

Jenkins was lying, he actually got very little of the spirit.

"Promoted to level six? That's really fast~ Remember to report it. Now you can learn new abilities. I remember that you have always liked [The Blessing of Books]. A level six gifter should learn such a difficult magic. The ability is just right. After all, you are the saint's son, and you have not mastered much magical ability."

Dad was used to Jenkins' rapid promotion, and although he was surprised, he was not confused. Simply skipping this topic, Jenkins asked again:

"So how many saviors are there in our time?"

"According to the records of the [Epic of Time] collected by the [Church of Destiny and Balance], there were nine saviors in the eighteenth century."

"So how many have the Orthodox Church found now?"

This is Jenkins' real concern. The church's quota and his quota added together will help calculate the arrival of the final day. The cat, which squinted and curled up into a ball pretending to sleep, glanced at him and felt that Jenkins was really bored.

"This is a secret~"

Dad sighed, but didn't say that he didn't know the answer. This further illustrates what kind of past Dad has in the church.

"I know you may think that the Twelve Orthodox Church has found most of the saviors. After all, this is so important, and the sphere of influence of the Twelve Orthodox Church radiates to almost the entire world. But in fact, the result is exactly the opposite. Saviors can actually be divided into two categories. The truly orthodox savior is a natural savior, that is, the soul's original ability obtained when becoming a gifted person represents his savior identity. However, some special means can make him a savior. The ability of identity is acquired, so that the salvation ability covers the core of one's soul. At present, we know that believers of lies are proficient in such methods. Most of the saviors currently known are believers of lies.

The most famous and certain among them are the "Twin Demons" that often appear and the "Undead" born in the Evergreen Forest. In addition, there are many clues that Miss Fabry is a "real phantom". She does The scam below is the tip of the iceberg of a larger ceremony. [Destiny Stage] There are no clues yet. The believers of lies have shown the characteristics of [Stranger], and the [Hero] was obviously obtained by the guy who stopped the Nolan Tsunami a month ago. The church found the treehouse members who were confronting him. Holding clay tablet with information. "

Dad introduced the situation that Jenkins already knew one by one. In fact, it was impossible for anyone to be more familiar with these things than Jenkins.

“So, those are the six qualifications, what are the remaining three qualifications?”

Jenkins asked with great concern.

"One belongs to fate, one belongs to life, and one belongs to spells. The twisted fate has probably been sought by the believers of lies, because their fate is always so weird that even the diviners of the [Church of Destiny and Lawful Order] cannot predict......"

Jenkins did not agree with this point. He had never taken the initiative to obtain the Savior's Badge related to fate.
