The Master of the Strange Realm

He confirmed at least that two of the children of the Stuart family had clearly received help from the Tree House. Among them, Yani Stuart "turned over a new leaf" and had cut off ties with the Tree House, while Lark Stuart died in the riots of the Ice and Snow Festival. The Tree House was very willing to participate in the battle for the throne of the Kingdom of Hampavo.

"That explains everything. The reason why the Tree House is interested in secular power is because they knew in advance about the savior ability of the [Uncrowned King], so they made arrangements in advance and wanted to find the owner of the King's Soul by controlling the three kingdoms. After all, they can't see the King's Soul directly like me."

At this point, Jenkins narrowed his eyes:

"I got news from the church that the upper class of the Kingdom of Cheslan has traces of being controlled by the Tree House, and the battle for the throne of Fidictelli is full of the shadow of the Tree House. So that's it. They don't care about power, they are also looking for the King's Soul. But why did the Tree House mention I learned about the [King's Soul] so long ago..."

"The differential machine in Nolan's underground shouldn't have just awakened recently, right?"

Alexia reminded, she agreed with Jenkins' analysis:

"You yourself said that the Tree House and the Gear Craftsmen are now allies. With the ability of that differential machine, it may not be able to accurately predict the specific direction of the Savior's Emblem, but at least it can calculate that it may be related to the throne. Since it is the source of all intelligent machines, it is possible to have such an ability. "

If the two people's analysis is correct, then Salshi II now has a "clone", which must be the work of the people in the tree house. They still remember that earlier this year, after the Snow Festival riot, Salshi II drove all his children out of the palace and lived alone in it, not knowing what he was doing.

Jenkins doesn't believe that he is just resting in the palace. Something must have happened during this period, which led to the current situation where the royal family members are away from the country and the king's clone controls Rune.

"It's really interesting."

But some challenges are good. If things really go smoothly, Jenkins will suspect that he has fallen into a trap without knowing it:

"At least we know the trump card of Salhi II. I have to say that people who can sit on the throne for a long time really can't be underestimated."

He sighed to the short girl, and Alexia thought of the queen who had been in power for fifty years. Salhi II was contaminated with extraordinary power, which obviously violated the "Tower Agreement". Although the agreement restricts the church from interfering with the royal power, it has more stringent regulations for the royal family to get involved in extraordinary power.

Since Salhi II can do this, Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Fidictli doesn't look like the kind of person who is willing to abide by the treaty honestly, especially in this situation. She doesn't like Jenkins, but has other plans.

Dolores was in a low mood and didn't want to deal with other things tonight. And having discovered the secret of the king who was about to die, Jenkins and Dolores didn't want to take action tonight and alert the snake.

So after saying goodbye to the little princess, the three returned to Nolan. After comforting the depressed princess, Jenkins even hugged her at Alexia's suggestion. Then he drove the maid home, and the lights in the house had already gone out.

He returned to his room and changed into pajamas. He felt the heat in the bedroom, so while thinking about tonight, he used [Frozen Ice] to condense the moisture in the air and cool it down.

The cat happily jumped onto the bed, and then suddenly made a threatening "meow~" sound, which was like the sound it made when it "fought" with the squirrels that tried to provoke Jenkins in the Evergreen Forest.

Jenkins turned his head and saw the blonde girl lying on the left side of the bed in pajamas, then smiled and patted the right side of the bed. When he walked into the bedroom just now, he was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that there was someone in his room.

"Are you home so late?"

Britney asked with concern, lying on her side, with her blonde hair scattered behind her, making her look particularly slender.

Hathaway, who heard Jenkins coming home next door, showed the same expression as Chocolate at this moment.

(Finny is praying...)

Although the preparations and arrangements of Salhi II were unexpected, it was just a clone created with extraordinary power. The clone staying in Loen would indeed affect Dolores' plan, but Jenkins did not think it was a very troublesome thing.

The next day was Saturday. When they met in the morning, Dolores seemed to have accepted the fact that her father borrowed the power of the Benefactor at the cost of his death. But although she behaved very normally and was very open-minded about her father's impending death, even the stupid Jenkins could see that the princess was not in a good mood.

He originally planned to take Dolores to the theater in the evening to relax, but heard a big news in the old man's antique shop in the afternoon.

"It's confirmed that the Three Kings' Talks will be held next Wednesday, which is the 19th day of June!"

The old man walked in quickly from outside the store with a newspaper, waking up Jenkins and the cat who were leaning against each other and drowsy because of the warmth of the summer afternoon.

"Next Wednesday? So soon?"

Jacked awake from sleep, Jenkins leaned his head on his arm and almost crushed Chocolate who was sleeping on his elbow. Chocolate cried out in fear and then huddled in Jenkins' arms, asking him to hold it and comfort it.

Only then was the hazy sleepiness dispelled, and he quickly understood what his father meant. Holding the cat in one hand, Jenkins took the newspaper from his father's hand with the other hand. After glancing at the page, Jenkins showed a puzzled expression on his face:

"How come the decision was made suddenly? Neither Miss Windsor nor Dolores mentioned this matter. I thought that this kind of thing would have to be explained at least half a month in advance."

Dad knew that Jenkins was preparing for the throne, so he had no doubts about the two names he proposed.

PS: Ask for votes at the end of the month, if you still have them.

Chapter 1682 Chapter 1655 The Sons of the Ability God

"The church has also just received the news. It is said that the three kings met privately and reached an agreement on the time and place of the meeting between the three kings. This was very sudden. No one expected it to happen so soon."

The dad at the counter of the antique store said. Seeing that Jenkins was still holding the cat with one hand, he went to get the kettle on the side of the counter. Upon seeing this, Jenkins quickly turned around to get the tea cup. His father looked very thirsty.

"Why such a rush?"

"The kings hope to resolve secular issues before the Twelve Orthodox Church talks. You know, the royal families of various countries more or less understand the importance of this alliance negotiation between the Twelve Orthodox Churches. If the secular royal family If they don't form an alliance, they will have no power to fight against the divine power in the negotiations that will determine the next hundred or even the next millennium. Although the three kingdoms have conflicts with each other, the royal power's fear of the church is more serious. ”

Dad explained.

"I understand. It was the meeting of the Twelve Orthodox Churches that forced them to start the Three Kings Talks in advance. Otherwise, there would be no unified alliance and it would be difficult to maintain a superficial balance in the agreement like in the previous era. It seems like , Salsi II, Queen Isabella and the arrogant Tarquin are still reasonable. "

As he spoke, he put down the cat, lifted the kettle with a satisfying sound, and poured hot water into the cup. With a flick of his fingers, the hot water that was still misting just now immediately cooled down.

"Don't underestimate those who hold power."

Dad reminded, taking the tea cup brought by Jenkins and taking a sip. Walking on the street without tree shade in the hot afternoon was not very comfortable:

"Let's not mention the meeting of the three kings for now. There is another important matter. Dress up carefully tonight. There are distinguished guests coming to Nolan. You must welcome them as the leader of the Sage Church in Nolan Diocese."

"Distinguished guest? How expensive is it?"

Jenkins picked up the cat again and asked absently, still thinking about the meeting between the three kings.

"25 other holy sons of the Eleven Orthodox Church."

Dad answered seriously.

The number of righteous sons of God existing in the material world is probably around 45. Because it is not clear whether other churches are completely telling the truth about this, Jenkins does not know the accuracy of this number. These 25 people who came to Nolan this time, plus Jenkins, plus another Holy Son that the Sage Church plans to send to Nolan next week, a total of 27 people, will appear in this fateful place at the end of this era. All the Sons of God.

The Son of God is theoretically the strongest fighting force among humans in the material world. And even if power is not considered, just religious status, they are the noblest in the world.

The Sons of God, the demigods, and the team of granters mobilized by the church from all over the world, plus the delegation responsible for the secular affairs of the church, are the greatest force that the church can send to deal with the end of the era.

These are the elite troops of each church. In peaceful times, when gathered together, they can even manage to deal with some weaker subspace sealed evil objects. Even at the end of the era, they can still exert sufficient power. But Jenkins knows that these people are not enough. He has seen the true power of the beast of disaster, not to mention that besides the beast of disaster, there is also a catastrophe that can destroy the entire world.

Unfortunately, I was unable to invite Dolores out to relax as planned on Saturday night. As the only resident saint in the area, Jenkins had the responsibility to welcome the 25 saints of the supernatural god in the Evergreen Forest.

Everyone is older than Jenkins. Even Ms. Bennett, the youngest member of the Church of All Things and Nature, is 13 years older than Jenkins. That young-looking lady was a friend of Jenkins’ cousin Sigrid. It is said that when Sigrid was growing up in the church, Miss Bennett, who had not yet become the Son of God, was one of the “little carrots” in the church. guardian.

"It's really lively."

The local church prepared a grand open-air banquet directly in the evergreen forest. Seven or eight long tables were placed in the open space under the giant tree in the center of the forest, with blazing bonfires surrounding them. The holy symbols of the Twelve Gods can be seen everywhere as decorations. People from all over the world with various accents stand together and talk.

The power of divine magic expanded unprecedentedly tonight, even overwhelming the most powerful spirit of life in the forest. The arrival and gathering of the Sons naturally increased the power of divine magic, which was also one of the evidences that the Sons themselves were more than human beings.

Jenkins stood at the long table holding a wine glass and talking to Sigrid. This distant relative was wearing a simple white gauze dress tonight. In order to show the characteristics and solemnity of her church, her blond hair was divided into small braids and braided in a complicated style, and then hung down naturally. She came down with a wreath of olive branches on her head, which is a common attire of the nuns of the Church of Nature.

"I have never seen so many Givers at once."

Sigrid said to Jenkins, her skin was as smooth and white as noble porcelain under the orange-yellow firelight. She also held a wine glass and said to Jenkins with a smile:

"I bet that's definitely not wine in your glass."

Jenkins had few friends in other churches, and the only one who talked to him was Sigrid, who was a relative. The saints of other churches followed the default rules and walked up to Jenkins in groups of two or three to talk to him.

Although everyone had the same status, most of them subconsciously used honorifics when facing Jenkins. When they spoke, they couldn't feel it, but Sigrid, who was always next to Jenkins, could hear it.

"It seems that you are really famous."

While no one came over, she teased Jenkins. Jenkins argued that it was because others respected the Sage Church. Of course, he knew that the saints had contact with God, so they could find his difference. It's just that no one can see his essence yet. In the non-burning divinity state, his divine characteristics are not prominent.

In addition to the invited guests, the small animals in the Evergreen Forest also came to the banquet tonight, surrounding the open space, waiting to be fed.

This attracted the priests and nuns of the Church of Nature and the Church of Earth. They stood by the bonfire at the edge of the banquet, feeling the breath of the forest, and did not forget to use the food in their hands to attract those animals that looked quite docile.

The benefactors of the Church of Nature and the Church of Earth could feel the extraordinary nature of this forest even more. Just now, when Jenkins was talking to the saints of these two churches, he heard them mention that in the subsequent alliance meeting, the two churches would probably propose to set up a church in Nolan.

Chapter 1683 Chapter 1656 The Big Tree, the Saint, and Sigrid

Although the saints chosen by the gods are beyond the mundane, at least during their stay in the material world, these people look no different from mortals from the outside. Their bodies will not glow, flowers will not grow on the road they walk on, and they will not be able to resurrect easily after death.

This disappointed Jenkins. He had been a saint for less than a year and had not made good use of this power. So he thought that those saints who had been famous for a long time would show interesting characteristics, but he did not expect that these people looked ordinary.

Jenkins told Sigrid about his disappointment. The beautiful girl with the olive crown covered her mouth and laughed;

"In fact, in my opinion, each saint is unique enough. If you feel it with your heart, there are always unusual spiritual fluctuations in the places where the saints exist. For example, that one..."

She stretched out her slender fingers and quietly pointed at the man in black robes who was standing at another table with his back to the two of them. The Evergreen Forest was a little hot even at night in this season, so wearing a robe was definitely not a wise move:

"We can all feel that he is like a tombstone."

This is the Son of Death, and Jenkins can also feel what Sigrid said, so he asked with interest:

"So what do you think I am like?"

Sigrid blushed, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and gently moved her nose in front of Jenkins' face:

"A big tree."

"Just a big tree? I am the Son of the Sage, and I thought you would say I am like a book."

He joked.

"No, you are not like a book at all."

Sigrid shook her head and tilted her head to think for a while:

"Compared to a book, you are more like... a ball of indescribable light."

"What?"

Jenkins didn't understand.

"Yes, a ball of light, containing all the light. Strange, twisted, and different from all the light in the world."

She said it seriously, and it didn't seem like she was joking at all.

The saints who came from afar were all in this forest for the first time. They probably saw the extraordinary giant tree behind them, so they sighed during the conversation. If they didn't know that the heir of the world tree was in front of them, they would definitely think that the believer of lies who caused the appearance of this forest was the one favored by the world tree.

The saints already knew about the world tree seedling, and this matter was not kept secret. After all, Jenkins is now the common hope of the Orthodox Church. Sigrid thought that this was also the reason why other saints were particularly respectful to Jenkins, and she didn't think of other reasons.

This banquet was not only a welcome ceremony for the sons of the alien gods, but also the first meeting between Jenkins and Sigrid after the Dragon Soul. Halfway through the banquet, Jenkins once again proposed to invite her to his home as a guest. Mary William had already urged her many times in letters. Sigrid had promised this in the past, but she always had no time.

"Maybe next week, I need to prepare..."

She was still a little nervous, nervous to see her only relatives in this world. Although the Williamites were very welcoming, Sigrid still had some resistance to this matter.

But when Jenkins asked her again, she made up her mind:

"Do I need to bring any gifts? I have never visited relatives before."

She asked somewhat embarrassedly, calculating her meager assets in her mind, and Jenkins' answer was of course red wine.

Since gifts were mentioned, Sigrid asked Jenkins what gift he needed for his birthday. Jenkins was really surprised. He didn't expect that his distant cousin would know his birthday.

"I asked the Sage Church."

The blonde girl winked at Jenkins:

"This is the first time I celebrate a relative's birthday. You must accept my gift."

The representative gifts that the Church of Nature can give are, of course, various exotic plants, and Sigrid also plans to give similar things.

And since we were talking about plants, this distant relative of the Willamette family also told Jenkins an interesting story. It was this afternoon. At the Golden Parque Auction House in the city, a big businessman from out of town wanted to sell two pots of tulips he had collected for 100 pounds.

Of course, such a high price was a failure. Even if the colors and petal patterns of the two pots of tulips were very strange, people would not be stupid enough to buy two pots of ornamental flowers at such a high price.

"I think he was probably really short of money, so he offered such a price."

Sigrid said jokingly, and then looked forward to it very much:

"But I heard from a close friend that those two pots of flowers are really beautiful. I really want to see what kind of plants they are. Although 100 pounds is a bit exaggerated, you should be able to sell them for 10 pounds, right?"

Jenkins smiled and laughed at the businessman's greed.

This is the first step. Of course, extremely high prices cannot be sold, but at least people should be aware of the fact that "tulips can be very expensive and appear publicly in auction houses." It seems that Dolores The action with Miss Windsor is really fast, and his plan will be completed in about a month or two.

Now that so many clergy and church ministers have gathered in this city, the church has to find something to do for them. It is impossible for these precious talents to exercise in the forest all day long.

It just so happened that Nolan was in urgent need of manpower to maintain law and order, and the frequent abnormal incidents had exhausted the local church's combat team. As for ordinary clergy, they also have their own uses. Frequent accidents in Nolan in the past six months have made the local residents restless. Priests with rich missionary experience are dispersed into the city, which will be conducive to the peace and stability of Nolan.

The Sage Church plans to take advantage of this period of time to expand the scale of the night school when it has sufficient manpower. The Church of Nature originally planned to stay in Evergreen Forest, but was rejected by the five local churches, so their focus shifted to the city. Sigrid will go selling flowers with her friends from the church tomorrow.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Is this a joke? Isn't this a very common thing? When we were young, the nuns from the church would take us to sell flowers on the street, and the money we got would be our pocket money."

Speaking of her childhood, Sigrid smiled with a slight smile. Jenkins was calculating in his mind whether this would affect his plans, but on second thought, this might be a good thing.

"Flower girl, flower girl~"
