The Master of the Strange Realm
Chapter 720
Reaching out to push away the man's hand that was trying to use a spell, Jenkins reached out and pointed at his head. Two green vines hung from the sky, one went around the man's neck to lift him up, and the other penetrated his temple.
Because only Jenkins and the cat could see the vine, in the eyes of Miss Windsor and Sigrid, Jenkins just stretched out his hand, and the stranger seemed to be hung up by an invisible noose, and then his eyes turned white and lost. Awareness.
"Let me contact the church."
Jenkins breathed a sigh of relief, and after getting Miss Windsor's permission, he used a dagger to painstakingly carve out a sage's holy symbol on her floor tiles. After throwing a triangular talisman in, about ten minutes later, a total of six extraordinary teams of more than 50 people from the Church of the Sage and the Church of Nature arrived.
The reason why so many people came was not because Jenkins was here, but because the people from the tree house showed up again. Although Jenkins deliberately wiped the vitality of his body by wiping his neck in order to prevent the church from seeing the traces of [blasphemous production], the appearance of this person itself is a good clue, and the church will not give any clues about the tree house. Let it go.
Miss Windsor and Sigrid were slightly frightened, but Jenkins did not leave until the church arrived. He stayed with the two ladies and explained that he came back because he felt something was wrong, and then heard Sigrid ask what the tree house wanted her for.
"You may have something that the other party wants. In fact, I have guessed before that Tree House and Queen Isabella cooperated and they probably wanted to use convenience to catch you. Now the cooperation is obviously impossible, and they can only take risks on their own. This time is probably just a test. The person I killed just now is only at level 3. No matter how you look at it, he is not qualified to do such an important thing... You must be careful during this time, you must be careful, it's best. Stay where you are at the church and don’t leave.”
"For the things on your body?"
The blonde girl was thoughtful.
Jenkins nodded but didn't ask for it. Of course, for the safety of Sigrid, as well as for the sake of the [Uncrowned King] and [World Tree Seedlings], it is certain that the soul of the tree and the seeds of the World Tree will be brought over, but not now, but tomorrow.
He had already thought about this and couldn't wait any longer.
After spending too long here, he confirmed the arrival of the church team, repeatedly warned Sigrid about safety issues, and finally carefully comforted Miss Windsor, who was innocently involved in this matter, before Jenkins left.
He speeded up his pace while staring at his pocket watch. After finding the carriage at the street corner, he even promised the driver that he could pay more, but he must reach the destination as soon as possible.
But even so, by the time we picked up Alexia and Dolores, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Because she was declared the heir, Dolores now moved to the mansion where Salhi II stayed, which was in the city center and a little far away from St. George Street in the West District of Nolan.
After all, it was Jenkins who "took the initiative" to invite the ladies to the birthday dinner, so there was no way he would have them standing at the door waiting for him. After the carriage stopped, Jenkins counted the fares he had collected during the journey and threw them to the coachman, then jumped out immediately. The two Northern guards at the door knew Jenkins, and when they saw him walking quickly, they immediately stood at attention.
As he ran along the path towards the house, he suddenly remembered that he had not asked the coachman to wait before sending a few people to St. George Street. But when he turned around, the carriage had disappeared from the door.
"Damn it."
He thought to himself, and then ignored it for the time being. The guard at the door of the house opened the door for him and immediately walked in.
To his surprise, the two girls, who had dressed up and looked particularly elegant and beautiful on this night, were standing in the wide front hall just inside the gate. There were Salsi II and several other princesses on the side. Before opening the door, Alexia was talking to Yanni Stuart, and Dolores was standing in front of the huge oil painting opposite the door with her father. say.
The content of the oil painting is a snow-capped mountain landscape in the North. It must have been hung specially to entertain Salhi II.
"You're finally here."
Seeing that it was Jenkins walking in, Dolores walked over without even bothering to talk to her father. Alexia also smiled apologetically at the eldest princess and walked towards the door. The sixteen-year-old princess wore a sky blue dress tonight. Although it still had a waistband that Jenkins did not approve of, the style of the dress was not very fancy. There were just some simple lace decorations on the skirt.
Alexia was wearing a light cyan dress with some solemn colors. This was the first time Jenkins saw her wearing this dress.
The ladies' hair was done early. Alexia wore her hair down as usual, but with an extra diamond hairpin. Jenkins suspected that she had used supernatural power to deal with the luster of her hair, otherwise there would be no reason for the long brown hair to have such a soft light. Dolores braided her long, slightly curved pale blond hair in a unique way, with a beautiful white gold crown on top of her head.
PS: Don’t say that for the plot arrangement, Sigrid was put in danger, so she deliberately didn’t ask for it now. In the following story, Sigrid was not in danger, and there was no deliberate plot.
This chapter is 5K, asking for votes is not too much, right?
Chapter 1763 Chapter 1735 Reception before the banquet
The sixteen-year-old princess wore elegant white long-sleeved gloves, and her hands were naturally folded in front of her body, smiling at Jenkins. But because her family was there, she smiled very reservedly.
"I shouldn't be late, right?"
He said breathlessly, and glanced at his pocket watch. It was still ten minutes before the agreed time.
"It's almost the same as I thought. You probably planned to come half an hour earlier, but you were delayed because of an unexpected situation, so you had to run so tired, but you were indeed not late."
The short lady said, and after getting closer, Jenkins smelled a very nice jasmine scent from her. Restraining his impolite nose, he greeted Salhi II again.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the king of the North looked pretty good, at least much better than the chess game that night. He nodded to Jenkins and looked at his clothes:
"You wear this to pick up my daughter?"
This is a very sharp and harsh question, but in terms of communication and etiquette, this accusation is obviously reasonable.
Jenkins laughed awkwardly, looking at the eldest princess beside him, hoping that she could say something to save him. Her Royal Highness understood what he meant, put down her hand that was covering her mouth and laughing softly, and then congratulated him:
"Happy birthday, Viscount William. Take your birthday present with you later. I wanted to ask Dolores to take it."
Because her father was beside her, she did not call Jenkins by name directly.
"You are so polite."
He said meaningless polite words, hoping that Salhi II would not pursue the matter of clothing. He really did not pursue it, because he asked another thing:
"So have you arranged your birthday dinner?"
"Of course... Bishop Palod will send someone to my house in a while, and it will be arranged soon. Oh, Bishop Palod is..."
"I know who that is. But do you really think it's too late?"
The old king asked the servants to stand there and asked seriously.
"This..."
He really didn't know, he had never held a birthday dinner in this world...nor in the previous world.
"I knew you would do this. My daughter has already sent someone over this afternoon."
The king shook his head:
"A qualified man should handle his own affairs, not leave everything to women."
"I have asked Julia to keep an eye on the interior decoration. Now we can just go there directly."
Seeing that her father wanted to say more, Dolores quickly interrupted.
So Salhi II looked at his daughter with a very sad look, and only when he saw that Dolores was about to cry did he say to Jenkins again:
"But no matter what, Dolores can't stay at your place tonight, remember this."
Yani and her sisters all laughed.
"Yes, this is a matter of course."
Justice Jenkins said, the tone of his voice and the expression on his face made people quite convinced of him, after all, he could do it. But Salhi II was still worried, until Alexia promised silently that she would bring Dolores back before 1 a.m., the old king nodded with relief:
"Miss Miller is a very reassuring teacher. Since she said so, then you can take Dolores away... But since you don't need to go home to prepare the dinner, why not stay here for a while, I have something to ask you, and Miss Miller can come with you."
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
Jenkins, who was still thinking about how to ask for a carriage, breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, after the conversation, he can use the excuse of "I wasted too much time here so the rental carriage I booked has left" to borrow the carriage legitimately and without losing face.
He smiled unconsciously on his face, which made Salhi II feel strange.
The place of the conversation was moved to the small study on the first floor. In addition to Salhi II and Jenkins, there were Yani, Dolores and Alexia. Salhi II did not shy away from telling Jenkins that after Dolores was officially crowned, Princess Yani would also participate in government affairs as her assistant, so it was very appropriate for the princess to be here now.
"So what do you want to ask?"
"What happened to your queen yesterday afternoon?"
This question was as expected.
"The heir was killed by that old man. She cooperated with the tree house to purify Miss Windsor's Middleton bloodline and then let Miss Windsor succeed to the throne."
Salhi II's face showed an undisguised contempt:
"That person is really old, and his emotions completely suppress his reason. There are obviously better choices, but he chose to do such a redundant and dangerous thing... That Windsor..."
"Very reliable, if I want, I can even invite her to my birthday dinner, she will never refuse. Of course, I didn't do that."
In order to take Miss Windsor's face into consideration, Jenkins did not say that Miss Windsor took the initiative to hint that she wanted to attend.
"You have such an idea, which shows that you are a little more mature than I thought. But you should act on this idea instead of just thinking about it."
He said this in front of Dolores and Alexia. Salsi II certainly knew who would be attending tonight's dinner, so this sentence actually made it clear that Jenkins should let Miss Windsor Truly become his "side person".
Jenkins looked at the expressions of Dolores and Alexia very covertly, but the two ladies were not angry.
"I knew he would do this."
Dolores was even a little happy. She said to her father:
"Miss Windsor is indeed very reliable. I have been with her for a while. She is a very decisive and capable lady. Don't worry about her loyalty. I think even if Queen Isabella takes the initiative to support her, she will not Possibly betraying Jenkins, I'm pretty sure of that."
"But people change."
The eldest princess said, Salsi II also nodded slightly:
"This is no joke. Even if you trust others, don't risk your throne. Jenkins, just know what to do."
He was worried about Alexia, an outsider, so he didn't hint too obviously. But everyone present knew what he wanted to express.
As for Queen Isabella being placed under house arrest by the church for a day, Salhi II showed a gloating attitude. He respected Fidictle's queen, but he also detested her.
After hearing the specific situation from Jenkins, he even showed full mockery of her killing the royal heir. Although Salhi II was a little stricter, he was at least pretty good to his family. He, like Jenkins, was extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior.
After the conversation, Jenkins successfully borrowed the carriage. In addition to the three passengers and one cat, the carriage also held some gifts. To Jenkins's expectation, Dolores's brothers and sisters all gave him birthday gifts. Even Salhi II, as an elder, gave him a symbolic pendant as a souvenir.
Alexia said that this is normal. Jenkins is almost certainly the prince of the North Kingdom, and there is a high probability that he will be the next king of Fidictry. Of course, Dolores's brothers and sisters should express their gratitude to him on his birthday. , saying that it would be strange not to do so.
It was almost seven o'clock when the three of them returned to St. George Street. As soon as Jenkins got off the carriage, he noticed three carriages pulling goods parked at the door of his yard. An endless stream of servants shuttled through the yard, carrying various goods. Various things were moved into the house. At the other side of the street, the church's carriage had already arrived carrying helpers. They were not surprised that Salhi II sent people to help. The two groups soon mixed together and helped prepare the dinner together. .
"Mr. Willamette."
Julia, who was in charge of dispatching in the house, noticed the three people standing at the door and walked out immediately.
"I told you once, just call me Jenkins."
Alexia showed an ambiguous smile, while Dolores winked at her maid, who resolutely refused to look at the princess's face.
"It will be ready around 7:40, and the progress is very good."
"Okay, are Hathaway and Britney home now?"
As he said that, he wanted to walk towards the house, but Alexia grabbed his sleeve:
"what you up to?"
Alexia, who was particularly beautiful tonight, raised her head and asked.
"Going home, of course."
Jenkins asked matter-of-factly.
"Don't you have to pick up Hesha and Mihail?"
"Why......"
Under Alexia's scrutinizing gaze, Jenkins also understood:
"Okay, okay, I lost my head."
He patted his head, turned around and asked the carriage that brought the three people not to leave:
"Then you go home first and I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, he picked up the cat on his shoulder and tried to put it on the ground:
"Wait for me at home."
"Meow~"
Surprisingly, Chocolate actually agreed. He stood on the path in the yard and did not rush towards Jenkins, but looked at him with wide eyes.
Thinking of the "gift" he got from chocolate this morning, Jenkins felt that his cat's intelligence had finally made great progress and became more sensible, and he was very pleased:
"Close the windows and doors for a while and don't let the chocolate escape."
He told Julia that he was actually worried that the chocolate would get lost when he was not at home.
He received Bryony and Hathaway, who were dressed up and waiting for him. The two ladies were also prepared early and were waiting for Jenkins to pick them up. Of course, both of them had guessed it, and it was definitely not Jenkins who thought of this on his own, but seeing as he was quite punctual and it was his birthday today, the girls all acted extra considerate.
PS: This is a 3k chapter, updated to 8k today.
Chapter 1764 Chapter 1736 Birthday Dinner
The birthday party started on time at eight o'clock in the evening. The decoration in the room had been completely renewed. The servants hired by Salshi II not only changed most of the interiors, but also changed the style of the gas lamps, which was regarded as a new decoration for the living room, The foyer and dining room underwent a simple renovation.
As for the meals, the church is responsible for it, and they don't want Jenkins to be poisoned on his birthday. Originally, there was an ordinary square dining table in the home, which was large enough to seat six people, but now it has been replaced by a larger table. The table was covered with a tablecloth, and the silverware containing the sumptuous meal shone in the light of the candles.
The candles on the golden candlesticks were carved with delicate patterns, and the flames matched the light of the gas lamps in the living room. At this time, the sofas and other furniture in the living room were temporarily stored in other rooms. In the middle of the living room was the long dining table. Jenkins stood aside holding chocolate and observing everything in his home.
"It's very novel, isn't it?"
Hathaway patted his shoulder from behind. As soon as Jenkins turned his head, the red-haired lady suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him. This posture of turning his head was very awkward, and Jenkins couldn't hold it for a while.
