The Master of the Strange Realm

"Jessica, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"No, how could you..."

Miss Windsor's hand unconsciously grabbed the pages with force, and her nails scratched the pages. Jenkins then gently placed his hand on the back of her hand:

"Don't be angry, this matter has nothing to do with you."

At least on this issue, Jenkins and Queen Isabella are of the same opinion, and neither of them is willing to let Miss Windsor be implicated.

"I will not become king, not under any circumstances."

When Jenkins grabbed her hand, Miss Windsor took a few big breaths, as if she was out of breath, but her expression was strong. Jenkins really admired this kind of girl.

After a while, Miss Windsor looked at the Queen and said:

"Don't continue this matter, don't hurt Miss Cape, and don't hurt anyone else, it makes no sense... In any case, since I choose to support Jenkins, I will never make a change... ....”

She grabbed the pages:

"Don't create any more victims."

But Queen Isabella didn't make any promises. She lowered her head and looked at her dinner plate, placing her hands on the table with no expression, looking extremely scary.

Jenkins noticed something strange, but the eye of truth could not see the suspicious aura.

Turning around and looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, Miss Magic and Mr. Hood were startled by his gaze. They thought no one could see them now.

PS: I don’t like the Williamt family, but I don’t want the Middleton inheritance to be cut off, so Queen Isabella wants to do this. There should be no logical contradiction in this plot.

Chapter 1749 Chapter 1722 Blockade and Mutation

"Something's wrong."

Jenkins, who turned his head to look at the empty restaurant, seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually talking to Miss Magic. Miss Magic nodded when she heard this, took out a handful of powder from her hand, and sprinkled the powder into the air while the three people at the table were silent.

The powder in the air did not produce any strange effects, but when it landed on the ground at Miss Magic's feet, it caused several incomplete blue phosphorescent lines to appear on the clean enough reflective floor tiles of the restaurant.

Jenkins couldn't see Miss Magic's feet from his angle, but he could see the sudden change in Miss Magic's expression. Then he didn't even bother to hide himself, he just threw away the silencing spell and shouted at several people:

"Let's go!"

But it was too late, the light followed the lines and covered the entire restaurant. Jenkins couldn't see anything just now, that's because the ritual hadn't been activated yet. But at this moment, as his spirit flowed, he could clearly see the blue lines engraved on the walls, floor and ceiling of the restaurant.

Those lines have a strange sense of order. While covering the wall, they outline some dense and difficult-to-identify symbols. Finally, the lines gathered in the center of the dining table. Jenkins ignored etiquette and lifted up the white tablecloth. Then he saw the solidified black-red blood and drew the terrible symbol in the center of the lines of the ritual array.

"do not look."

He raised his hand to cover Miss Windsor's eyes. Regardless of the hidden Miss Magic and Mr. Hood, they both ran over. Miss Magic was the first to interpret the meaning of the symbol:

"This is an ancient rune from the mixed fish-human tribe of the Southern Continent in the 16th century. It means imprisonment, torture, and calling."

"call?"

Jenkins wondered.

"Summoning something unfriendly."

Miss Magic simply explained, and the three of them looked outside the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the same time. It was originally a scene of sunset, but after the ritual was activated, dark clouds unknowingly covered the sky.

"Actually, the outside is still the same as it was before. What we see outside the window now is not the real outside."

she said.

"So you can't leave here?"

Mr. Hood asked.

"Yes, if the ceremony is not lifted, this place will be equivalent to a temporarily imprisoned space."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hood used his left hand to pick up the chair next to him and violently threw it toward the glass. However, after the two came into contact, only the wooden chair disintegrated and the glass did not move at all.

"How is this going?"

With Miss Windsor standing behind him, Jenkins asked Queen Isabella, who was the only one sitting now. The atmosphere in the restaurant became a little unpleasant, and there was an extra layer of gray in the field of vision. It was not that there was fog in the room, but that the space just changed color. If I ask Jenkins to explain it, it's like a colorful oil painting turning into gray and white.

He tried to touch the front, but felt that the movement of his body was a little stiff. A large shadow suddenly appeared at his feet, but disappeared immediately before he could attack.

He looked at the other people in the restaurant. Large shadows also appeared under people's feet. Along with the strange smell of rotten eggs, a strange black shadow appeared in the corner.

"May the sages bless me and the light of knowledge illuminate my path forward."

He whispered, and the magical power he drew made him emit a little light in the gray shadow world. This light quickly dispelled the shadows and the things that were about to take shape in the corner, but it did not dispel the depressing, cold and weird atmosphere in the restaurant.

Everything around him was gray and white. After returning to normal actions, Jenkins pulled Miss Windsor closer to Miss Magic and Mr. Hood. The three people surrounded the only ordinary person in the middle. Miss Magic put her hand on Miss Windsor's shoulder. .

"it's me."

She whispered in her original voice. Miss Windsor was in a daze for a moment, and then recognized the voice of the occult consultant she hired.

"How will you be here?"

Miss Windsor wanted to ask, but Miss Magic signaled her to be silent.

"Don't tell me that this is another test of whether I am the Giver."

Jenkins turned around and looked at Queen Isabella. The shadows did not come close to her, because there was an ornament on the old man's chest that exuded a strong green aura to protect her.

"No, it's not just a temptation. In fact, although there is no evidence, I have basically determined that you are the Giver."

She didn't look nervous, as if she didn't see everything around her:

"The arrangement here was originally planned to invite you to have dinner alone in a few days after Jessica's 'blood exchange'. By then I will die here, and you will be the only one present... "

At this point, Jenkins understood that even the last poisoning might be blamed on him. In this way, Miss Windsor, who had been helping Jenkins prepare to ascend the throne from beginning to end, naturally became the best heir in a short period of time.

"So what does it mean to activate the ritual in advance now? Miss Windsor is still here."

He noticed that Miss Windsor was holding his hand tightly. This was probably due to fear and nervousness. After all, he was just an ordinary person and had never seen such a weird thing.

"I didn't activate this on my own initiative."

The old man said in a low voice. She raised her head hard to look at Jenkins, and then squirted out a mouthful of blood with an abnormal color due to the graying of the space under the gaze of the four people. The blood stained the tablecloth that had not been completely removed darkly, and then the old man also fell on the table, his face sunk deeply into the bowl of mashed potatoes on the table.

Miss Windsor's hoarse voice almost screamed. She wanted to go forward to see the situation of Queen Isabella, but was stopped by Jenkins.

Instructing Miss Magic and Mr. Hood to protect Miss Windsor, Jenkins walked along the side of the dining table to the old man. There was no sound at all when he walked, not because he was deliberately tiptoeing, but because not only the color of the world was lost, but the sound was also partially lost.

"There is no death."

After lifting the old man up to prevent her from suffocating in the mashed potatoes, Jenkins felt the pulse on her neck, then tested her breathing, and finally put his finger on her forehead. Jenkins won't kill her, but he will ensure that she gets the punishment she deserves, and she must not be allowed to leave the mess here like this.

"It's like being severely mentally damaged... What's going on?"

"It probably has something to do with the opening of the ritual. The opening of the ritual seems to be centered on her, but it is not triggered by her actively, so it will definitely cause discomfort. Without the pendant on her chest, she probably wouldn't even be able to finish what she just said to you. if."

The magic lady who is proficient in rituals said, and then introduced:

"Mr. Willamette, this is Mr. Hood and a friend of Mr. Candle."

"Hello, he just told me about the situation here. Thank you both for your help."

Jenkins nodded as a greeting.

"Hello, Viscount."

Mr. Hood was a little reserved. He didn't recognize that this was their friend at all.

"So what do we do now? Will Mr. Candle be outside to get us out?"

Mr. Hood asked again, knowing Mr. Candle's power from Hathaway's dice game.

"No need to bother, I'll do it."

As she said this, she asked Queen Isabella to lie down on the table temporarily, and then turned her back to several people. He strode to the door and twisted the doorknob. Of course it didn't turn. Then he took out the black iron key with cylindrical teeth soaked in the spirit.

This is a gift found based on Miss Magic's clues. The only function that has been discovered so far is to open the seal.

With his back to everyone, he pressed the key against the door, and then slowly turned it counterclockwise. It was obviously just in the air, but the turning process made Jenkins feel that the key in his hand was connecting to an invisible fine mechanical structure. The light resistance was real.

As he turned, the four awake people in the restaurant heard a clear clicking sound. Along with this sound, servants walked outside the restaurant, and the noisy ambient noise of summer cicadas chirping came in.

The gray in front of you slowly fades away, revealing the colorful world hidden under the gray. Jenkins put away the key and then grasped the door handle. With a slight turn, the door was opened.

Hearing Miss Magic and Mr. Hood behind him let out a sigh of relief, Jenkins also had a smile on his face. But he immediately opened his eyes of truth and looked nearby, but did not find the gifter who activated the ritual.

"He should have left. From the time the ceremony was activated to now, he has traveled far enough."

Miss Magic said.

Jenkins nodded, but he also knew that the tree house must have placed spies around the queen, otherwise there would be no reason for the ritual prepared in advance to be activated at such a coincidence.

"During this period, you and Miss Yindi will protect Miss Windsor."

He warned in a low voice, and then turned to look at Mr. Hood who was a little confused:

"Thank you for your help. Mr. Candle's friends are indeed reliable."

He paused and wanted to tell the two of them that after Mr. Candle killed the Giver who was talking to the Queen on the carriage just now, he had already found the Orthodox Church in order to trace the traces of the tree house, so they needed to do it as soon as possible leave.

But at this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from further away in the city, and then the long dining table in the restaurant vibrated violently, even causing the silverware on the edge of the table to fall to the ground. And in this sound, several people also realized that it was an earthquake.

Just as Jenkins was about to call Miss Magic and Mr. Hood to help him take Miss Windsor and Queen Isabella out of the house first, he heard Miss Magic calling him:

"Look!"

She pointed outside the French window.

Jenkins forced himself to remain calm despite the shaking on the ground, and after helping Queen Isabella up, he melted the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows with flames. The group of people walked out of the restaurant together, and Jenkins signaled the servants not to panic.

He left the old man in the care of the maid who also ran out of the house, and then stood on the lawn of the garden with Mr. Hood and Miss Magic and looked up.

Chapter 1750 Chapter 1723 The Second Level of the Tower

In the distance, the metal black tower standing in the hazy gray fog and sunset rose slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Very slowly, but definitely rising. This caused a burst of smoke to rise from the ground, but it also made the shadow standing under the setting sun grow longer and longer until it penetrated the eastern part of Nolan like a sword.

From Jenkins' current position, the sunset and summer glow were just behind the black tower. But instead of making the metal tower shine, the sun's rays seemed to be absorbed by the black tower, leaving people with only panic and uneasiness.

Even without the Eye of Truth, Jenkins knew that the originally powerful black aura of the strange thing was definitely reaching a level he had never encountered before. He opened his mouth to say something, but he felt extremely bitter in his mouth.

It wasn't that Jenkins had bad breath, it was just that there was something wrong with the air.

"Cover your mouth."

He warned Miss Magic, Mr. Hood and Miss Windsor, and put the cat standing on his shoulder into his pocket.

"What does this smell like?"

Miss Magic also smelled the smell in the air.

"It seems that the oil was soaked in water, mixed with kitchen garbage, and then left to ferment throughout the summer."

Mr. Hood said with a frown, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves. Jenkins looked at him in surprise when he heard this, wondering how he knew such a strange smell.

Although the smell is very offensive to the nose, at least it is not poisonous gas - it is not poisonous gas if it is not inhaled for a long time. But for the sake of health, Jenkins suggested that the servants take Queen Isabella back to the house first, knowing that there would be no aftershocks.

After that, Miss Magic took Miss Windsor and left first. After Jenkins thanked Mr. Hood as Jenkins Willamt, he also asked Mr. Hood to go back as soon as possible so as not to bump into the church's team.

Then he stayed by the queen's side to ensure that she would not die soon. After the church people arrived, he asked his servants to notify the Dukes in Nolan to come over.

During this period, Jenkins handed over all the information about Queen Isabella that he investigated today to the church. He wasn't going to hide it, and he didn't have to. As for how the church would handle it, Jenkins didn't want to worry about it.

All he knew was that he would tell Bishop Parrod that matters concerning the throne would need to be expedited. In the past, due to the peaceful transfer of power, the progress on Jenkins' side has not been fast, and they have not relied much on the power of the church.

But from today on, everything is different. Jenkins saw clearly that he should not have any hopes for the old man. Regarding the matter of succession, he cannot delay it any longer. He must ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Queen Isabella's use of extraordinary power is different from that of Arrogant Tarquin and Sarsi II's exposure to mystery. The former is to break the curse on her body, while the latter is for selfish reasons, but frankly speaking, Loen's disaster None of the three demigods in the tree house have any absolute relationship with Salshi II.

But Queen Isabella is indeed using mysterious powers to kill people, and even cooperates with the Treehouse, which is considered an illegal organization by the church. Although as she said, as long as she expresses repentance, the church cannot force her to abdicate, but Jenkins also believes that the church will not easily "forgive" such a move.

In particular, he would not allow the Church to make such an act of forgiveness.

After confirming the arrival of the church's team and the hurrying Dukes, Jenkins left the mansion. Duke Douglas wanted to stop Jenkins and ask about the specific situation here, but Jenkins ignored him.

He spoke sullenly to Captain Binsi who was on guard outside the house for a while, knowing that this time the Twelve Churches "treasured" the hard-won opportunity for Queen Isabella to make a mistake, so this matter would not Easily settled.

"As for the tower."

Captain Binsey pointed in that direction:

"My team is only responsible for the peripheral security here, so it will not set off as soon as we receive your notice. When we left the church, the earthquake had just happened. Miss Bevanna saw the rise of the tower with us. She is now Probably already rushed over."
