The Master of the Strange Realm

Jenkins said, motioning for the ladies to sit down first. He came here riding a unicorn, and Julia was also brought by him. While the three of them were projected to Loen, Julia was responsible for taking care of their bodies.

"I remember you had a small tulip garden in Loen?"

Jenkins asked Dolores, who nodded, wondering what Jenkins wanted to do. Several people sat around the decorative fireplace in the room. Jenkins twisted the seeds on his fingertips, and tulips "grown" from his fingertips.

"There is something very important now, extremely important. I must use your power."

He handed the tulips to Dolores with a serious expression on his face:

"There are more important things than the throne."

Dolores had a smile on her face:

"I would like to serve you."

"I'm going to do another 'scam'."

Even Alexia looked at Jenkins:

"What are you going to do?"

"This time it's not a Fabry scam. I need a scam that will work quickly and shock the whole world. Although the effect of the scam is just to radiate around Nolan, now almost all the big shots from all over the world have gathered here. This Once something succeeds, the whole world will know what we have done.”

While Dolores listened, she twisted the stems of the tulips with her fingers. Although they were a little irritating, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't care.

"I need to turn this flower into the most expensive luxury product in the city within a month, or at most two months, and become a synonym for wealth and luxury."

Jenkins narrowed his eyes and carefully recalled the historical knowledge belonging to another world:

"It's certainly not easy, but we have an advantage. As long as you give me seeds, I can produce multiple generations of hybrid varieties in a short time, so that tulips with various strange patterns can be propagated directionally. Moreover, I hope that the flower girls on the street can Participate in the plan as one of the sellers, so that I can always keep track of the actual price of any flower transaction in this city... step by step, let people accept it, let people know, this It is a flower that can make money, so tulips become synonymous with money, and this flower becomes a signal of rising wealth every day.”

"This is...the Tulip Scam you told me about!"

Dolores has a good memory, and Jenkins once mentioned this "scam" to her before the Ice and Snow Festival in Loen. Its principle is quite simple. As long as people realize that this flower can make money, its price will continue to rise, and people will be willing to pay higher and higher prices to buy it.

As long as you keep "passing the flowers" in this game similar to "Drumming and Passing the Flowers" and leave the field before the end of the game, the almost costless tulips will bring huge benefits to the people behind the scenes.

There are still many details involved, and a lot of people are needed to get involved. Whether it is a businessman who "brings rare breeds into Norland", a wealthy aristocrat who "spends a lot of money at auction", or a lobbyist who "spreads false news on the streets of taverns", all need to be arranged separately.

This is no longer like the "Fabry Scam", something that Jenkins can accomplish alone. He needs to use the power of Dolores and Miss Windsor to complete it in a short period of time.

He looked at the flower between Dolores' white fingers. The petals were swaying slightly, and the colors were as rich as oil paintings. Jenkins didn't need money. The treasures unearthed near Belduran were worth more than he expected, and they could support three battles for the throne.

What Jenkins needs is divinity. After a head-on confrontation with the complete beast of disaster, Jenkins has a rough estimate of this kind of existence. As long as you have divinity, you may not necessarily win against the beast of disaster, but you will definitely not lose. And currently he only knows that divinity must be obtained through the priesthood, so there is no better method than the "Tulip Scam".

"I hope you can gather as many flower girls as possible in the Nolan area and distribute the first batch of tulips through them."

Jenkins said to Dolores, who immediately nodded and took note. At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess was completely excited.

Relying on the flower girl is not just about using the power of the priesthood to control the price of tulips at all times to prepare for the next step. In fact, Jenkins doesn’t just hope that the priesthood of [Lie] embodies divinity.

"We can give some preferential conditions to Nolan's flower girls, and share the profits with them to help them try to change their lives, and even bring them together to form an industry union... What happened this time, What I want is not money..."

Although the priesthood [Blesser of the Pygmalion] has a small coverage area, it has extremely high directivity. It's not that hard to do to help flower girls change their lives by becoming part of the Tulip Scam.

The scam this time was two attempts by Jenkins, a joint application of two completely different priesthoods. Since he didn't know the exact deadline, he wanted the scam to be completed as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he had the right time, place, and people. Now this city is filled with nobles and businessmen from all over the world. The supply of luxury goods exceeds demand, and this is the city he is most familiar with, not to mention the "flower girls" This extraordinary talent of "affiliation" allows him to better cooperate with girls from poor backgrounds.

He even planned to use the form of dreaming to compile dreams at night, so that potential flower sellers in the city would know that tulips were a good way to make money, and thus actively participate in his plan.

"Using true lies to deceive flower girls, and then helping them change their lives... I am indeed suitable for the two priesthoods now."

He was thinking, not knowing how to comment on himself at this moment. But he made up his mind that he would never make money in this matter, and he would eventually expose himself, so Jenkins did not think he was a real liar.

She had mentioned this matter to Dolores before, and Alexia easily understood what Jenkins meant, so there was no problem in leaving it to the girls, with Jenkins hiding behind the scenes. of.

Although it may sound like a joke to sell ordinary tulips to sky-high prices in one month, in the eyes of Jenkins, who has seen history, this is completely feasible.

After this incident, I have to tell Miss Windsor that Dolores is a foreigner after all. No matter how powerful the spy is, it will be difficult to support such a large-scale operation.

Jenkins had the confidence to convince Miss Windsor to do such a "meaningless" thing at the critical moment of the struggle for the throne. He knew that the lady was willing to obey all his arrangements...

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little guilty.

Chapter 1680 Chapter 1653 Loen under the night

After finishing the arrangement about Tulip, a group of three people and a cat soon appeared in Loen City. There is no heavy fog in Loen at night like Nolan. This city standing in the north is quiet and peaceful, and has not been affected by the disturbance in Nolan thousands of miles away.

The little princess has been waiting for the three of them for more than a long time, and Dolores' close confidants and supporters who stayed in Loen have also received the news and are waiting in the mansion where the little princess lives.

Dolores and her sister went to deal with political affairs first, while Jenkins took Alexia into the sky.

According to the information that has been obtained, if we observe the snow-capped mountains around Loen, we can indeed find traces of the army. On the surface, the army in the southern part of the kingdom retreated north, but in fact, it was the large force assembled in the northern part of the kingdom to fight against the Yeti Legion that first arrived in Loen.

The army has only recently arrived near the city of Loen and is hiding in the mountains to the east of Loen. This elite force, which belongs directly to the royal family, has about tens of thousands of people and is equipped with the most advanced firearms and artillery. If he hadn't known that these people were controlled by Sarsi II, Jenkins would probably have thought that they were here to break Loen.

According to the news Dolores received, all armies in the entire Hampavo Kingdom are now tending to converge on Loen. But in fact, it was all a cover-up. Only the current army was actually ordered to approach Loen City.

This information was provided by Miss Windsor. The Grand Duke of Windsor's spy was close to the Grand Duke of a principality under the Kingdom of Hampavo. This precious information came from there.

"Isn't Salshi II trying to cause a massacre?"

Jenkins, who was riding a unicorn, asked hesitantly:

"In order to create stable conditions for his successor, he first deliberately created the fact that he left to induce unstable factors to appear, and then mobilized the army to directly massacre the rebels, paving the way for the next generation of kings once and for all..."

Alexia also agreed with Jenkins. Although this was quite cruel, it was definitely something Dolores' father could do. The middle-aged man has always been tough-minded. Now that he is still alive, if he can do something for the next generation and the stability of the entire kingdom, he will not care about his reputation.

Taking the heirs away now is presumably for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, and the royal family cannot be involved in this matter.

"What a terrible person."

"Kings are all like this, right? Once they have power, they must dare to sacrifice and know how to make choices."

Alexia said while looking at the weak lights below. This army is very good at hiding. They don't light bonfires at night. If it weren't for the two people's superb eyesight, they wouldn't be able to see the slightest trace.

"That's why I think I'm not fit to be a king..."

Jenkins muttered, and he and Alexia descended together. At the same time, Alexia used her ability to cover their bodies, so they were not afraid of being discovered even when flying at low altitude.

After observing for a while, he returned to the city and talked to Dolores about the situation outside. Dolores has also learned from the confidants left in the city that the atmosphere in Loen City has been a bit strange recently. Newspapers did not mention a word about political issues, and all kinds of tidbits occupied most of the pages of various newspapers.

It seems that within a few days, this city has been cut off from the mainland's political situation and domestic intelligence. This is not a good phenomenon.

"There is a Grand Duke, a powerful Grand Duke, who entered the city yesterday."

The little princess Agelina Stuart reminded.

"Is it our uncle, Archduke Rodber?"

Dolores asked, and was answered in the affirmative.

Sarhi II has no biological brothers. The so-called "uncle" should be considered a cousin, which can also be regarded as a very close relative. The Duke, who is nearly forty years old, is considered to be in his prime, has considerable power in the army, and is the toughest among the existing Dukes in the contemporary era.

"Go meet him."

Dolores thought for a moment and then said.

"As Dolores Stuart?"

Jenkins asked.

"Yes, in my true identity. Now, no matter how many plans my father has, he can't go back and forth between Nolan and Loen at any time like me. We can do things more directly. I believe the Grand Guild understands what this means. ”

Alexia supported her students, and Jenkins had no reason to object, so he also joined in the fun. They were not worried that the Duke would tell the truth about the two men's appearance in Loen, let alone whether anyone would believe it. Even if they did, it would not matter. It was almost time for a showdown.

This trip is not a formal meeting, so only Dolores and Jenkins go, and their identities are enough. The Duke stayed in his own house in Loen, which was a mansion on the hill near the royal palace. Although it was in the city center, it still covered a large area.

Jenkins and Dolores set off on the unicorn. Her Royal Highness the Princess's love for unicorns made the little beast itself a little bit too much. Therefore, after landing, he rubbed the side of his face against Jenkins rather dissatisfiedly, and then disappeared.

The two planned to sneak directly into the Duke's mansion and let Dolores convince the Duke, ask him why he came to Loen, and ask about the back-up force left by Salsi II. It certainly wasn't going to be easy, so Jenkins came along.

"Wait a minute, first check if there is a benefactor around the Duke."

Jenkins at the wall whispered, blinking his eyes and looking inside the wall. As Duke Rodbyle, it was possible to hire a benefactor to protect himself, but Jenkins believed that even if he could, the level would not be very high.

"oh?"

He suddenly sighed in confusion, his eyes filled with uncertainty:

"Maybe something went wrong..."

He was a little unsure of his judgment, so he took the cat off his shoulders and put it on the ground:

"Just wait for me, I'll be right back."

Saying that, without waiting for Dolores and Chocolate to object, they jumped into the wall.

"He's always like that."

Her Royal Highness the Princess said with some dissatisfaction, looking around boredly, and then lowered her head to look at Jenkins' cat for a while.

"Meow meow meow~"

She squatted down while holding up the hem of her skirt, imitating a cat's meow with her mouth and calling for Chocolate to come over. Dolores knew about Jenkins' feelings for her pet cat. After finally getting a chance to be alone with the cat, she wanted to be intimate with it. Besides, Chocolate is indeed a very cute pet cat.

"Meow~"

Chocolate also imitated the meow of an ordinary cat, but did not continue to talk to Dolores. Instead, he stood in the shadow of the wall and patiently waited for Jenkins to come back with a well-behaved look.

PS: It is said that the app is going to be overhauled. In the future, the recommendation will not be biased towards new books as it is now, but will be tilted towards old books... I don’t know if I can catch up before finishing the book.

Chapter 1681 Chapter 1654 Salhi II’s Decision

Jenkins didn't leave for long. The cat under the moon and Her Royal Highness the Princess only waited for less than ten minutes before they saw Mr. Writer trotting over from the other side of the path outside the wall:

"what happened?"

Dolores asked hurriedly, seeing the surprise on Jenkins' face that had not completely disappeared.

"Your father... is such a powerful man!"

Jenkins sighed, then called out the [Book of Memories], engraved the scene he just saw on the paper through memory and showed it to Dolores.

It was the living room of the mansion, and the Duke and another middle-aged man were sitting in armchairs respectively, talking. Although the other person only had one profile, Dolores could never mistake that profile:

"Father?"

Sitting with Duke Rodber was none other than the king of the entire country, Salshi II.

In order to determine what was going on, after returning to Alexia with Dolores, Jenkins made a special trip back to Nolan to take a peek at Salsi II and confirm that the king was indeed in Nolan.

"This is so much fun."

He sat around with the two Stuarts and Alexia:

"I can confirm that Nolan's is a real person, and Roen's is a clone made by extraordinary power."

This can be seen by relying on aura.

"But I don't understand how this is done. Although there are some special items that ordinary people can use to exert their power, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person's consciousness to control two bodies. This is absolutely impossible."

After Jenkins entered the Duke's house just now, he eavesdropped on the conversation between the Duke and Salsi II. During the conversation, Salsi II mentioned Nolan's current situation. Obviously, the king of Loen and the king of Nolan have the same memory. .

"Is Dolores' father the Giver?"

Alexia asked Jenkins.

"Absolutely not."

Nolan's king has no aura about him.

"That is to say, there must be a gifter involved in this, and he is also a gifter with quite superb methods..."

Alexia pondered, "I know there are some methods that can achieve similar effects, but the materials required are expensive, and the ritual requirements are very demanding. For ordinary people, they will almost certainly die after the effect ends. ”

Dolores pursed her lips and looked toward the side window, preventing her teacher and Jenkins from seeing her expression. Agelina fiddled with the ends of her hair with her left hand, lowered her head and looked at her shoes, the expression on her face was also invisible.

Both princesses knew their fathers and knew that if the method Alexia said really existed, their father, Salshi II, would not refuse it. But this meant that their father would definitely die soon. Although this was inevitable because of the tumor in his brain, Dolores had thought about asking Jenkins to try to help after she succeeded to the throne...

Even if their feelings for their fathers were weak, the princesses did not want their fathers to really leave. No one wanted to be a child without a father, especially when they were young.

Alexia saw the princesses' mood, shook her head, stood up and walked out of the room, and Jenkins followed.

"That organization called Tree House cannot be uninterested in [King's Soul]. I remember you once said that they appeared in almost every competition for the Savior's Emblem."

Alexia directly expressed her opinion. The two stood side by side in the corridor and looked at the bright moonlight outside. The red and blue moons made their shadows entangled and reflected on the wall on the other side.

"You mean, Salshi II got help from the tree house? That makes sense. I was a little confused a few months ago as to why the people in the tree house wanted to help Dolores' sister fight for the throne. This was obviously inconsistent with their purpose. After all, from the perspective at that time, controlling the secular kingship had nothing to do with the fight for the savior."
