The Master of the Strange Realm

As the Holy Son, I can guarantee you, Hathaway, that you will not be harmed. "

Hathaway nodded and did not continue to ask. Jenkins was so pleased with his girl's understanding that he didn't notice that Hathaway was actually staring at his cat.

Today she met the "twin devil" riding a unicorn in the mining area. This believer in lies who was very active last year but somewhat silent this year has an orange cat on his shoulder. Only then did Hathaway realize that it seems that when every believer of lies appears, there must be a cat next to him.

This was originally a very obvious feature. In fact, as long as people with no intellectual problems, they should have discovered it last year, but no one has pointed it out until now.

Hathaway was reminded of Jenkins. Except for Jenkins, no one she knew who kept a pet cat would spend almost 24 hours a day with their cat.

If she had thought of this before Jenkins confessed his identity as the Son of the Sage, Hathaway might have thought that Jenkins was actually a believer in lies, and that bringing a cat was a tradition of the lie sect, similar to a token and status symbol. But knowing the identity of Jenkins, you understand that this kind of speculation is absolutely impossible. It would be ridiculous if the Son of the True God was a believer in the False God.

So Hathaway thought of more things and all the doubts she had always had:

"chocolate......"

She hesitated whether she should ask, thinking of the rumors that Nolan, the God of Lies, seemed to be accompanied by a black cat when he appeared.

Chocolate stood up at this time, pushed his hind legs back and stretched, looking at Hathaway with his beautiful amber eyes. Those eyes were full of innocence, but they gave Hathaway a weird feeling that sent chills down her spine.

"What happened to the chocolate?"

Jenkins asked, scratching the side of his face, then thinking of what happened this morning, he couldn't help but complain:

"You're asking me why I cut down on this cat's food for dinner? It did something very excessive today, and it must be punished, otherwise it will do the same thing next time. Young cats must be well disciplined, otherwise they will suffer from it in the future. Even more disobedient."

Due to his own dignity, Jenkins did not tell the story of how he turned into a mouse and was "held hostage and teased" by a cat.

"No, that's not what I said."

The red-haired girl shook her head, thinking of the wonderful performance of Mr. Candle's white cat "Vanilla" during the last dice game. She wasn't sure whether Jenkins knew about her cat's abnormality, so she ultimately decided not to ask now. Hathaway planned to ask Alexia, and she believed she could get the answer from the woman.

The next day was Friday, the fifth day of July, and there was only the last day left before the Joint Meeting of the Twelve Churches. Early that morning, Queen Isabella sent a letter asking Jenkins to attend today's meeting of the three kings.

Although there are actually only two kings left among the three kings, because Tarquin's second son, the heir actually chosen by the previous king, still stays in Nolan and continues to participate in the meeting while communicating with the country, the meeting is actually still in progress. Continue.

Moreover, because of Tarquin's death, the second prince Briar Arecio directly stated when negotiating on behalf of the kingdom that he could pay a certain price as long as Hampavo and Fidictry were willing to help him return to the throne.

This brought about a turnaround in talks that had been without any progress for many days, and significant progress was made yesterday. The three kingdoms finally reached a basic consensus on a bill to limit emissions and resolved some of the territorial disputes they had had for years.

In order to prevent long nights and long dreams, and to prevent the second occurrence of the death of one of the participants who clearly signed the meeting memorandum but had not officially signed it, both kings believed that the results of the meeting should be put into practice as soon as possible. A grand cocktail party and reception will be held today. Under the witness of the representatives, the significant meeting document will be signed.

As for Briar Arecio, before he contacted the tree house who promised to help, he actually didn't have much status in Nolan. And now that his eldest brother has declared himself king in Turin, he needs strong support from the other two countries.

As a member of the royal family of his country, Jenkins had to attend this event. Even if he wanted to find an excuse to go to the church to help, Bishop Parrod would send him to the reception. So Jenkins could only let the messenger take away the news of his acceptance of the invitation, and then consider who to invite as his female companion.

He turned to look at the girls at home. He knew without a second thought that Julia would never accept the invitation, and she would probably follow Dolores.

"Want to go to the cocktail party together?"

He did not choose one from Hathaway or Britney, but asked them directly. This was much easier than doing multiple-choice questions.

"Aren't you going to invite Alexia and Dolores?"

The blonde girl asked immediately, and Jenkins shook his head:

"No need to invite them, they will definitely show up at the reception."

"So you invited four beautiful girls to accompany you to the cocktail party at once? No, five. Miss Windsor will definitely show up."

Hathaway questioned, and Jenkins wanted to admit but was a little embarrassed, so he could only keep a straight face and say nothing.

The ladies had to spend the morning picking out the right outfit, but Jenkins had no such need, so he went out after breakfast, as he had other things to do. Of course, Jenkins promised to be back before lunch.

Chapter 1830 Chapter 1801 The Ownership of the Soul of the Tree

The main thing on Friday, in addition to meeting the ladies from the music church as agreed in the evening, Jenkins also wrote a letter yesterday inviting his distant cousin Sigrid to meet.

She was supposed to be taken to Privet Drive this week, but due to matters involving her eldest brother Newman Williams' fiancée's family, the matter was delayed. In addition, Jenkins has been busy preparing for the joint meeting recently, so taking her home to meet her relatives has been delayed again and again.

It didn't matter if he delayed going home to meet the Williamsons for a few days. There was not much difference between meeting him earlier or later. But the soul of the tree has always been in Sigrid, and Jenkins is always worried, fearing that one day he will hear that Sigrid has been kidnapped by someone in the tree house.

She is different from the host of Ice Soul and Dark Soul. Dolores is protected by Alexia. Miss Windsor has nothing to do with "Dark Soul" at all. She is not as conspicuous as Ice and Tree, so now Among the three soul owners besides the dragon soul, Sigrid faced the greatest danger, and Jenkins didn’t want to wait any longer.

They originally planned to meet in the Evergreen Forest, but it happened that Sigrid was sent to garrison the city by the church these days, so they could meet in the city. This is also more convenient. If it were in Evergreen Forest, Jenkins would definitely miss the afternoon drinking party.

When I met Sigrid, she was helping in the flower shop at the intersection of Walter Walk and Fifth Queen Avenue.

Originally, Sigrid was a reserve nun of the Church of Nature. As a benefactor, she was responsible for escorting confidential documents and important items for the church across the continent. But there is no need to do these things in Nolan, and she is now recognized by the public as a descendant of the royal family, and the Church of Nature will no longer send her to do chores.

It so happened that seven churches that did not have churches in Nolan, after negotiating with five local churches, obtained permission to establish small strongholds in the city. These strongholds will serve as an important means for the Twelve Churches to monitor Nolan.

This flower shop is the stronghold of the Church of Nature. The owner of the shop is a believer in the True God [Spirit of Nature]. After hearing that the Church was looking for a house, he immediately generously sold the entire shop and everything in it. church.

Sigrid is helping here these days. When Jenkins opened the door and came in, she was carrying a kettle to water the fresh tulips that had just been shipped from outside the city.

The cluster of tulips is placed in the most conspicuous position in the flower shop, ensuring that customers can see it at a glance when they open the door.

"Welcome, how can I help you?"

asked the young woman behind the counter, who didn't recognize Jenkins. This lady is an ordinary person, because the flower shop really needs to stay in business, but it cannot be distracted by a limited number of patrons.

"this is my friend."

Sigrid said to the young lady behind the counter, then put the kettle aside and smiled at Jenkins:

"Look, these tulips are the most expensive plants here. I never thought that tulips could be sold at such a high price. When I was in Chesland, even the tulips in late autumn were probably not more expensive than the ones in Nolan now."

She sighed half-complainingly, and then told Jenkins that the Church of Nature also planned to cultivate tulips locally, but the varieties cultivated were far less "noble" and beautiful than the bulbs and finished flowers on the market in Nolan. Now the price of tulips in the entire city is getting higher day by day, and people of insight have long taken a fancy to the business opportunities.

Even the scattered finished flowers that are difficult to preserve in the hands of flower girls are sold out very quickly every day, which fully demonstrates that Jenkins' plan is moving forward at a rapid speed.

After saying hello, Sigrid left the flower shop with Jenkins, got on the carriage rented by Jenkins and drove towards the Yodel Opera House in the city.

Jenkins considered finding a suitable and safe place to talk about the tree soul. His own home was certainly safe, but he wasn't sure if that would be polite. It would have been safe to go to a fancy bedroom in a hotel downtown near City Hall, but he was sure it would be rude.

So I chose the box of a small opera house in the city. Of course, although the scale is much smaller than that of the Royal Opera House outside the city, the ticket price here is more than three times that of the outside city. Tickets for the Yodel Opera House are not something you can buy if you want. It is more like a social place than a place to cultivate sentiments. The evidence is that although the Yodel Opera House has ordinary auditoriums, all the tickets sold are For box tickets, there are never any spectators in the auditorium except the staff.

"Let me guess what you came to see me for today."

After entering the box, Jenkins immediately nervously checked whether there were any suspicious items and whether there were any small holes in the wall used for eavesdropping. Sigrid almost reached the sofa with Chocolate. She picked up the apple in the fruit bowl and shook it at the cat, but Chocolate never liked eating food given by others, so she simply ignored the humans in front of her.

"Is it about the seeds of the World Tree? Have you thought about combining them?"

The blonde girl guessed.

"That's not it. Regarding the World Tree seeds, I plan to ask an elder for his opinion before taking action. This time it is for another matter."

Jenkins shook his head and sat down on the sofa. The window in front of the two of them faced the stage, which was the best position, but even though the music started to sound and the man's powerful singing voice began to narrate an ancient love legend as the background of the opera, they had no intention of getting up to watch:

"It's something else, something... very egregious."

Sigrid blushed a little and flipped her hair nervously:

"whats the matter?"

"Um......"

Before Jenkins could think of how to speak, he scratched his face:

"It's embarrassing to say."

Sigrid put her hands on her legs and grasped her skirt tightly. The cat on the side looked at this "burlesque" and suspected that Jenkins did it on purpose.

"Can you pledge your allegiance to me?"

"Huh? Sorry, Jenkins, what did you say?"

This kind of thing that is difficult to talk about feels like nothing once it is said. Jenkins didn't want to take advantage of others, so he told everything he knew about the Four Souls. He even revealed a little bit about the savior, but not completely. After all, some things are not suitable to be told to irrelevant people, as this will only increase the danger for others.

"So that's it. The Dragon Soul proposed by Red Dragon last time was also..."

Knowing Jenkins' purpose, the blonde nun's interest waned. She leaned her shoulders on the soft sofa and said in a slightly lazy tone:

"I thought it was something else."

The ears are a little red, but it's hard to notice

Chapter 1831 Chapter 1802 Dragon Hunting

"Loyalty? So how to be loyal? Just like what is described in the knight novels, kneel down on one knee and swear to be loyal to you, right?"

Sigrid said softly without objecting.

"You...agree?"

Jenkins blinked and asked hesitantly.

"Why don't you agree?"

She tilted her head and asked, not looking at Jenkins, but at the kitten stretching its head to sniff apples on the small table in front of the sofa:

"Maybe the identity of the savior is important, but I don't think I can shoulder this responsibility, so even if I know about it, I don't plan to get involved."

It's as if Jenkins thought he didn't want or have the ability to shoulder the responsibilities of a king, so he didn't want to be a king. Although very tempting, for some people, no matter how great the temptation is, it is just a burden.

"Since you need it, then take it. Maybe you should have said it earlier and didn't have to invite me here specifically. I'm not as strict as you think."

Seeing her say this, Jenkins felt a little embarrassed, but he still emphasized:

"I won't take your things for free. I must compensate you. I never take advantage of others."

"But I'm not someone else."

Sigrid said this, and Jenkins was about to say something more to express his attitude. But at this moment, an astonishing roar suddenly came from above.

It wasn’t a cat meowing, or an opera stage sound. The heart-breaking roar came from above, or more accurately, from higher in the sky.

Not only could Jenkins hear it, but people in the neighborhood who didn't have serious ear problems could certainly hear it. Even the high music on the stage in front of the box stopped for a moment. After confirming that the sound did not ring a second time, the performance resumed on the stage.

But there was a commotion in the nearby boxes, and people obviously didn't think it was safe now. Jenkins looked at Sigrid doubtfully:

"That was a dragon roar just now? Why does it sound like the red dragon that lives in the Evergreen Forest?"

"Sorry, I'm not familiar with that dragon and can't distinguish its roar, but I'm sure the sound just now was definitely not any ordinary animal."

As they spoke, the two stood up from the sofa. Jenkins grabbed the chocolate and put it on his shoulders. Sigrid wanted to walk out, but Jenkins stopped him:

"Resolve the matter of the tree soul first. I don't want to delay it any longer. If you really let the people in the tree house take you away, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Jenkins put aside the matter of the dragon outside. Although he didn’t know what “loyalty” meant, he still followed the etiquette he heard from operas and stories and asked Sigrid to kneel on one knee in front of him. Then he took the script script placed on the coffee table and read the lines in it.

During this period, the dragon's roar sounded again, but it was from a farther position and was almost inaudible. Jenkins and Sigrid ignored it and concentrated on finishing what they were doing.

The large set of words before those lines are not very effective. The appearance of the tree soul begins with the most important question and answer:

"Sigrid Christine Capet, will you swear allegiance to me for the rest of your life? Apart from God, I am your most loyal object?"

Jenkins asked.

This line is a bit bad. After all, the line he gave is a love drama. The so-called knight's allegiance refers to the knight's protagonist's allegiance to the princess in the opera. The script writer ingeniously changed some of the wording, and Jenkins didn't realize it was bad until he read it out.

"I do."

Sigrid, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, said, and then it was her turn to ask:

"Jenkins Redemption Willamette, will you accept my loyalty and swear that you will never live up to that oath?"

There are also some strange lines, but Jenkins still nodded:

"Swear to the wise."

As soon as she finished speaking, emerald green light bloomed from Sigrid's chest. Even though he knew that staring at women's breasts was extremely immoral and impolite, Jenkins couldn't help but look over.

Sigrid's expression showed a similar feeling of heartache. She subconsciously reached out to cover her left chest, gathering the emerald light in her palm. Although her hands were clasped together, the light still radiated from her fingers.

She did not stand up, but kept this posture and handed her clasped hands to Jenkins. Sweat could be seen faintly on her forehead, as if she was holding a thousand-pound weight in both hands.

Jenkins immediately stretched out his hand to clasp Sigrid's fist. When his right hand covered the radiant fingers, the emerald light rushed directly to the heart in his left chest along his elbow.

Jenkins also felt heartache, but only for a moment. Then the dragon soul that had been staying in the heart position suddenly beat, and next to the burning red flame, the emerald green slender flame appeared little by little. But the two did not merge together, but only resonated with each other.

Silver Dragon Lord Anastasia once said that the fusion of the four kings' souls requires a method, and the star spirits know this method. Even if the savior's ability cannot be actively sought, the gathering of the other two souls has been put on the agenda. Jenkins plans to ask Lakul in the near future.

"Are you okay?"

He reached out and pulled Sigrid up. The blonde nun shook her head:

"I just felt a sudden emptiness in my heart. It's a strange feeling, but I'm fine... What is glowing?"

Through the thin top, Jenkins can still see the green light on his body. I thought it was the power of the tree soul that was not stable yet, but when I looked down, I found that the glowing were two parts of the world tree seeds.
