The Master of the Strange Realm

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she tilted her head and looked at the door from behind the erected sheet music. The earrings swayed as the head moved, and a flash of surprise flashed in the smart eyes:

"Hathaway? Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I heard your footsteps when you were downstairs. As I said, you can make an oral statement when you have time to report the incident in the eastern suburbs. If you want It doesn’t matter if you are lazy and don’t state it, the treasure is not ours anyway.”

She put down the music score, turned around from behind the desk, reached out to take out the teacup and teapot from the side cabinet, and poured Hathaway a cup of tea. Hathaway drank it all in a very unladylike manner and put the porcelain teacup back into Miss Burnett's hand:

"There is something very important, and I want to call on everyone to help."

"Have you finally decided to ask us to perform at the wedding? This is great! I love the Violin Concerto in D major!"

"But it's my wedding, and I want a traditional wedding march... Oh, that's not what we're talking about today. Are Stivell and Harms here?"

"Okay, okay, go find them right away."

Miss Bernreit made a little joke and walked out of the room as she spoke, quickly bringing Miss Stillwell with her.

The Music Order has few members and is not large in scale. There are four people who can be counted as the "decision-making group". Among them, Lydia Bernreit is the archbishop who does not have the title of "archbishop", Hathaway and Steve Miss Weier is the sect’s contact person on the west coast and east coast of the mainland.

The last one is the "composer of the music score" Miss Brilee Harms, who is the divine body prepared by this generation of the Order. The lady happened to be away and had gone shopping in the morning, but three people were enough to make any decision.

"What are you going to do? How many people do you need?"

Miss Bernreit asked

"The more people, the better. I want to enchant an arrow."

"With what ceremony?"

"It's not a ceremony, but it can be considered a ceremony. It's a special piece of music. Oh, it's not an ordinary piece of music, it's B-01-5-0224 [Song of Nature]."

Chapter 1970 Chapter 1941 The Blessing of the Song of Nature

B-01-5-0224 [Song of Nature] is a special item in the form of music, similar to the B-10-5-7722 [The right music for the right occasion] that Jenkins and Hathaway got when they attended the masquerade last fall. 】(Chapter 112). Such numbered items need to be attached to entities to exist, such as gramophones, music boxes, or terrains with unique echo structures. They can sometimes coexist with musical instruments, but only in a few extremely rare cases.

The "Song of Nature" used by the Church of Nature in the last century was stored in a naturally formed stone that could retain sound. At that time, in order to maximize the blessing effect of [Song of Nature], they destroyed the stones and completely released the music, so they regarded [Song of Nature] as a disposable item.

Such numbered items in the form of music are allowed to be copied, but just like those special texts, such as "Book of Demons" and "Dark Bible", the effect will be weakened after being copied, the effect of artificially copied [Song of Nature] will also be weakened. It will be greatly weakened and can no longer be called [Song of Nature].

Only the naturally occurring original version of a sound is eligible to have a number. Therefore, many people have actually heard of "Song of Nature", but not many people have heard of "Song of Nature".

Hathaway told the two of them without any secret that the Righteous God Church had discovered the Human Jigsaw and planned to follow the method of the previous era to defeat it again.

Miss Bernreit just lamented that Nolan was indeed dangerous, and that such a thing could actually appear in the city. Miss Stillwell asked curiously:

"Who are you here for? Did the Zhengshen Church find [Elven's Arrow of Destruction]?"

Jenkins did not reveal Miss Stillwell's identity after admitting that he was the God of Lies. He believed that there was absolutely no need for this. Since his senior sister had been so successful as an "undercover agent", she should be allowed to continue undercover until the final negotiations were over.

"The Orthodox Church plans to use my...fiancé, Jenkins Willamt, as the main force to handle this matter. Jenkins said that he will find a way to get another arrow, so I need to summon enough Many people played the "Song of Nature" together to bless the arrow."

"Wait a minute, I know that your fiancé, Viscount Williamt, is a scribe of the Church of the Sages, but why should he handle this matter?"

Miss Bernreit asked in confusion. Not everyone knows that Jenkins is the holy son of the Church of the Sage. Although this is not a secret within the church, only some cultists know about it outside the church.

"Jenkins is actually...actually the holy son of the wise man."

Hathaway hesitated and spoke before Miss Stillwell could stop her. Miss Stillwell regretted not interjecting earlier, but now that she had spoken out, the most important thing now was to keep it secret.

"he......"

But as soon as her words came out of her mouth, Miss Bernreit said even faster:

"Holy Son? Oh, God~ In other words, you are not only marrying the future king, you may become the queen of this country, but you are also marrying the Son of the True God?"

Hathaway nodded reservedly.

"What a lucky girl."

Miss Bernreit was amazed and couldn't help but sigh how Hathaway was favored by the gods. The Church of False God usually doesn’t have much objection to its believers marrying pagans, as long as there is no doctrinal conflict between the two parties. Therefore, even if she knew that Hathaway’s marriage partner was the Son of the True God, Miss Bernreit would not think too much about it. say what.

"But in this way, we support believers in lies..."

She thought about it.

"It doesn't matter. Jenkins' identity has nothing to do with my work. I will handle the relationship between family and work. He actually encourages me to have my own career."

Hathaway said.

"Does he know you're helping the followers of lies?"

"have no idea."

This is the first lie here today.

"Oh, Hathaway, I admire you more and more. All women should be like you. I won't make it difficult for you to deal with these relationships. Although we are supporting believers in lies, we actually don't intend to Doing bad things doesn’t hurt anyone.”

She clapped her hands, and then looked at Hathaway's face again:

"What a lucky girl."

Miss Bernreit sighed again.

After Hathaway explained all the current situations, Miss Bernreit began to gather all the musicians who were in the club or who lived very close to here. Miss Stillwell was responsible for directing the servants in the club to move all the furniture out of the large concert hall on the third floor. The ceremony required a neat and clean place.

She has been in the club today and doesn't know about [Human Puzzle] yet. But she believed what Hathaway said and was willing to help the Sage Church as a member of the Music Order. This is a rare scene where both identities can make the same decision. Miss Stillwell decided to give full play to her role and contribute to the church even as an undercover agent.

"There is also the matter of [Song of Nature]."

Hathaway pointed to her head:

"In the last century, the Church of Nature used the real [Song of Nature]. Although it was used in a crude way, the effect of that song was more than 80%. Now we have to bless that arrow, even if it can be used through rituals To achieve 100% effect, we must find the tune that is closest to the real [Song of Nature].”

"Do you have any there?"

asked Miss Bernreit.

"Yes, there is."

This winter, Hathaway mentioned "Song of Nature" to Jenkins. It was when the two co-wrote the opera Murder on a Train for the Silver Jasmine Opera Company and went to see them rehearse for the first time that Jenkins shared the songs from Another World with her.

Hathaway's evaluation was "I saw a completely different kind of music, not solemn court music, not frivolous ditty, this is a bit like a combination of serenade and [song of nature]." (Chapter 738)

Later, on the transitional night between January and February, Jenkins truly got the tune (Chapter 759) in the end-of-month whisper.

Mortals cannot permanently save the music of numbered items through memory, they can only save copies with less effective results.

But Jenkins can.

However, of course, the music obtained from the whispers of the gods cannot have the number information given by mortals. So Jenkins just thought it was a nice tune and didn't know it was a numbered item.

Until he went on a business trip to the Shire, while helping Old Jack catch the lost butterfly, he strayed into a strange place because of Chocolate's naughty nature, and experienced a unique adventure of transforming into a different species with Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute (Chapter 864).

He used the severed legs of the puppet he obtained in Blizzard Mountain Villa and turned into a heterogeneous creature [String Puppet]. In the third test, in order to fight against the evil creature in the library that was suspected of being a Vangus goblin but had a similar appearance. , chanted the [Song of Nature], so I knew the specialness of this song.

Having just learned about the [Human Puzzle] from Captain Binsi, Jenkins immediately thought of the song that existed in his memory. This was the genuine original melody that he got directly from the gods.

When assigning Hathaway a task, he used the ability of [Grant of Knowledge] to share the memory with Hathaway.

Although this kind of sharing also weakens the power of the original [Song of Nature], it is not much weakened because it is a "gift" made by the soul of the gods.

And considering that the [Human Puzzle] that appeared this time is not genuine, this should be enough.

While everyone in the Music Church was preparing for the ceremony, Sigrid, who left the old elf, also came to the club according to the address given by Jenkins. She handed the box containing the arrows to Hathaway herself, but in order to avoid suspicion, she did not enter the third floor of the club, but waited downstairs.

Hathaway entered the concert hall holding the box in both hands. The concert hall was surrounded by high stools of different heights. The musicians of the church each held their own instruments and sat on the stools.

Miss Bernreit, who had put on her dress, raised her hands, with her left hand in the shape of an orchid finger, and she held the baton in her right hand and swung it down:

"Everyone, the Order came to Nolan to witness the end of the Eighteenth Century and to offer a final hymn to this century. But this does not mean that we will not do other things. Next, Hathaway will serve as the leader. Let’s play the song of nature and bless this arrow.”

Hathaway opened the box and put it on the highest stool in the center of the room, then walked to the wall and took her violin case to start.

Miss Burnett actually had one more thing to say. Although she fully supported the believers of lies, as the most important leader of the cult, she also understood that eggs should not be put in one basket.

Since the members of the cult are the fiancées of the Sage Son, they should be prepared for both situations. It is not to betray the believers of lies who are allies. Miss Burnett is not crazy enough to deceive a group of liars.

However, it is still good to establish a certain connection with the Orthodox Church through this incident. Even if you don’t know how the future will develop, it will never be a wrong choice to maintain a good relationship with each party.

The music sounded in the concert hall, and the speech in the town hall continued. Miss Windsor fully realized how different this world where Jenkins exists is from her own world.

There is naturally no "Fabry Scam" in her possibilities, so financial and banking reforms have not appeared. So even if she becomes king, she has no insights in this regard.

Fortunately, little Finnie was very calm. During the time when Miss Windsor replaced Jenkins to give the speech, Finnie played an important role in continuing the speech.

Section 1971 Chapter 1942 Windsor and Isabella

Finnie and her friends, combined with their own insights on the streets, fully introduced to the audience the serious consequences that "Tulip Mania" may cause.

Children's "speech" is certainly not as good as that of adults, but the flower girls' experiences on the streets are more authentic, and their insights (written by Jenkins) also explain the impact of tulip mania on the city in a unique way.

This is a completely different angle from a serious speech. Even if there is Jenkins' "polishing", the novelty and authenticity are more deeply rooted in people's hearts than the sharing of data.

In Jenkins' absence, Miss Windsor explained his relationship with this group of girls. As for the so-called "Flower Girls' Union", people did not realize what Jenkins' purpose was.

But the experiences shared by the girls always have an end. After the speech, Finnie and her friends left the podium. Miss Windsor came to the stage again with a calm face. When she looked up, she saw Queen Isabella looking at her.

Miss J pushed Queen Isabella down the stairs with her own hands, while the queen at Miss Windsor's place died in a monster riot. Therefore, Miss Windsor did not have the opportunity to experience the pleasure of revenge. At this moment, when she saw the other party, a voice of revenge sounded in a certain area of ​​her heart, but she was immediately suppressed.

"That's it. The price of tulips is like a carriage running wildly along the slope. The promoter only needs to exert force at the beginning. And this carriage keeps running, completely disrupting the market price..."

She mechanically said what she didn't understand, and admitted in her heart that Jenkins, who could understand these, was definitely a genius. She knew that she didn't say it well enough, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Fortunately, she finally made it to the last break. After the break, it was the climax of the speech, which was to summarize the consequences of tulip mania and extend it to the reform of the financial industry.

At the same time, the reasons why the people behind the scenes planned this action will be revealed, and their identities will be speculated.

Miss Windsor thought that she might not be able to handle so many things, but she had to go anyway.

She announced a temporary break, and after leaving from the side door, she saw Finnie.

Finnie smiled and gave her a flower. Looking at that smiling face, Miss Windsor seemed to see a holy angel, and her mood suddenly calmed down.

"Madam, you are really good."

"Your performance is very good."

Miss Windsor said with a slight bow.

"Don't worry about the next step, the gentleman will be back soon."

"Is the matter over there over?"

"Are you talking about the [Human Body Puzzle]? No, it has just begun, but the gentleman will be back soon."

Miss Windsor didn't understand where the little girl's trust came from, but facing her was like facing an angel, no matter how bad the mood in her heart was, she could slowly calm herself down.

Finnie left soon, she wanted to wait for Jenkins with her friends. Miss Windsor went to the bathroom and realized that she didn't have much time to move, so she wanted to go upstairs to contact Jessica and return to her body for a short rest.

But in the corridor, she ran into Queen Isabella and her group.

She didn't threaten Jessica with the scandal of the Grand Duke of Windsor, as she did with Jessica just now, and didn't even question why she was in the lecture hall.

Queen Isabella asked the servants around her to temporarily withdraw, and asked the accompanying Duke to step aside, and walked to Miss Windsor alone. Miss Windsor was not worried, and just stood there waiting for her to come.

"What do you want?"

She asked.

"Jessica, you... are very different today, very different."

The old man stood nearby, carefully looking at Miss Windsor up and down, and asked tremblingly for a long time:

"You are really Jessica, right?"

"Of course, I am Jessica Windsor."

"What was the name of the maid who ran away from home with you when you were nine years old?"

The old man asked.

Miss Windsor closed her eyes and tried to maintain her expression. The corners of her mouth trembled, revealing her inner restlessness. It took a long time to answer:

"Herlo Sophie."

Queen Isabella seemed to have confirmed through this question that this lady who had the shadow of her youth was really Jessica Windsor, the child she had raised, and not a dummy created by the benefactors with extraordinary power.

She reached out and grabbed Miss Windsor's hand. Miss Windsor wanted to shake it off, but she also knew that now was not the time to turn against her:

"Do you have anything to do? The break time is about to end."

"Don't worry about the break time, Jessica, do you really not want to be king? As long as you are willing, I can announce now that the throne will be passed to you."
