The vampire said and flew into the sky, followed closely by Miss Bevanna and others. Captain Binsi was the only one left on the ground. He immediately summoned a nearby team to work with him to deal with the corpses covered in metal parts.

In the green light, Sigrid held Jenkins' cane nervously. The cane was a gift to Jenkins, and it seemed that because it was tailor-made for him, not even Sigrid could relate to it.

But because both parties are descendants of the World Tree Priest, she was barely able to use the cane as a weapon, but she just couldn't exert the same power as in Jenkins' hands.

But this is enough. The fluctuation of the life spirit of the World Tree is unique, and in people's hearts, only Jenkins can reveal such a spirit. Few people have cared about it. In fact, there are more than one descendants of the World Tree sacrifice.

Not only the vampires, Miss Bevanna and others just now, but no one knows now, in fact, Jenkins will not come at all, she is the only one holding the arrow.

Chapter 1974 Chapter 1945 Continued Speech

In the City Hall, after a short break, Miss Windsor and Queen Isabella returned to the lecture hall in the corridor. Because the side door is closer, they go on the same road.

After the servants at the door bowed and opened the door, the first thing a group of people saw was Jenkins standing on the podium with a cat on his shoulders.

"Sit back quickly."

He said to Miss Windsor, who breathed a sigh of relief for no reason:

"You're finally back."

Queen Isabella stood there and stared at Jenkins' face, frowning slightly pulling the wrinkles on her entire face:

"You didn't leave?"

"Of course I haven't left. I've been sitting next door with my cat, and had a long talk with Miss Feeney Faithfull."

The latter was a little speechless because of this answer, and asked again:

"Why have you been next door? Since you didn't leave, why didn't you come back and continue your speech?"

"Because I want others to think that I have left and will never come back. In this way, people who were originally guarding against me will save a lot of unnecessary actions."

He replied, then wickedly pulled the cat off his shoulder and put it on the table. Chocolate, who was originally in a daze, was very dissatisfied because he left the most familiar place. Jenkins smiled and said to Queen Isabella:

"No matter what happens today, I will not leave the city hall. You may have thought wrong about one thing. My determination on this matter is much stronger than you think. Take your seat, Your Majesty, the last part of the speech is about to begin. ”

Jenkins rarely calls Queen Isabella "Your Majesty", and calling her this way at this moment is obviously not respectful but teasing. The latter also understood this meaning, and did not show a very rude expression. Instead, he reluctantly nodded to him, and then walked down to his seat in the first row surrounded by the servants behind him.

Jenkins raised his hands slightly to signal for silence below:

"Sorry, something happened just now and I had to leave for a while, but I'm back now. I think this is just the right time. If the next speech goes well, I can just make it to lunch time after the speech."

He looked at Dolores in the first row. Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at him nervously, knowing that the next hour would be the key.

Jenkins didn't say any more nonsense, took back the closed chalk box from under Chocolate's butt, and then pointed to the huge blackboard behind him that was covered with charts:

"Judging from the price trend, the current price of tulips has not reached its peak at all. I believe that all of you have been exposed to this flower more or less. So if I can guarantee that a pot bought for 10 shillings today will Who wouldn’t be tempted to sell the bulbs immediately for 15 shillings tomorrow?”

"Yes, Viscount, I can guarantee that anyone except God will be moved."

A voice said below, Jenkins nodded and saw everyone below looking at him. There are the royal families of the three kingdoms, the big businessmen who connect the business of the entire continent, and the big nobles who have rich families and strong political influence:

"If tulips and bulbs can be sold for 20 shillings the day after tomorrow, will anyone be willing to be a buyer of 15 shillings tomorrow?"

"certainly."

someone shouted again.

"This is what I want to express. When the price of a commodity is divorced from its own value and is sought after by the whole people, then it is inevitable that the price will rise in a very crazy trend. This has been seen in Nolan's tulips. There are obvious traces.

Just now I asked the little flower sellers to tell with their own words what they saw city people doing to buy tulips. I can assure you that it is not an uncommon case to sell off all your property just to stock up on a batch of flowers and sell them in a short period of time.

Then we have a very interesting question, once the guy provides the supply of rare tulips to the entire Nolan. Suddenly one day the normal supply is cut off, and a large amount is dumped on the market at a very low price in a short period of time. What will be the consequences? "

"Tulips will go down in price."

Dolores said.

"Yes, oh, thank you, my princess."

Dolores blushed immediately.

"Such a price reduction will have an avalanche effect. We all know that the current price of tulips has completely mismatched its value. Everyone knows that tulips are not worth so much gold, but most people are worried because of the current price. And actively engage in it.

This leads to the fact that once there is even a large-scale price reduction in the market, people who have goods in hand will try every means to sell those goods to prevent more losses at the next price reduction, because no one wants to be the last fool. . However, their peddling behavior will intensify people's panic and lead to larger price cuts.

Tulips are not a necessity of daily life. Even if their current price drops to one-third of the usual price within three days, I will not be surprised.

Many people lost their money because they bought tulips at high prices. It is not surprising that some people who borrowed money to participate even committed suicide by jumping into the river with their entire family. This is enough to make people become destitute overnight and beg on the streets. It is also enough to completely destroy Nolan's financial and market order.

That's right, the fundamental purpose of the person who planned all this was definitely not to make a fortune, but to disrupt the order of the city. "

He came to his own conclusion. Seeing that no one asked, he continued speaking on his own:

"Think about it, a large number of businessmen went bankrupt in a short period of time, and a large number of ordinary citizens who originally had savings and industries lost everything overnight. The price required to achieve all this was just to push up the price of tulips in the early stage. Oh. , Gentlemen, I dare to assure you that those guys who planned to buy tulips at the auction house at high prices from the beginning were definitely hired by the masterminds behind this matter. "

This conclusion caused an uproar in the audience. Jenkins continued:

"Before the speech, I entrusted the mayor to investigate them. Unfortunately, those people only received money to do things through the introduction of brokers, and they didn't even know what the other party looked like."

"So who do you think they could be?"

Duchess Madeleine asked:

"This won't work. If defeating a city only requires such simple steps, then who will dare to invest in it in the future?"

"I think it doesn't matter who they are, it's how to prevent this from happening again."

Jenkins paused for a moment and waited for others to ask questions. At present, there was no sign that divinity was about to appear. After all, he only exposed the scam. Although this was exciting, it was not enough for divinity to gather. A real lie is not as simple as deceiving and exposing. What he has to do is to let himself play all the roles in the scam.

"Is it a believer in lies? Is it Miss Fabry?"

At the moment when Jenkins paused deliberately, in front of hundreds of people, he closed his eyes, and then projected through the spiritual magnet to the height at the back of the room. Projection does not require physical transfer. Therefore, the wooden floor is activated in advance to fix the body. While people are nervously looking at the front, no one notices that there is an extra person behind.

"Is it a believer in lies? Is it Miss Fabry?"

He put on a black robe and shouted loudly from the end, then left the [real phantom] and threw a spell at his feet, then canceled the projection and returned to his body.

Jenkins on the podium opened his eyes and looked at the last row, looked at the person holding the seat, and replied:

"Indeed, there may indeed be believers in lies. I think that in this era, only that group of people will be interested in such a scam. Think about it carefully, between Tulip this time and Miss Fabry last time. There doesn't really seem to be much difference in the mining business. The biggest difference is probably that although Miss Fabry's mining business involves half of the continent, even if it wasn't exposed by me, it only caused people to lose a part of their money.

But if tulip mania goes unchecked, not just people will go bankrupt, but the entire Nolan economy will suffer long-lasting consequences. "

This conclusion was supported by the audience. Jenkins turned his head and looked out the window, which is the direction where the human body puzzle appeared. He saw the aura representing the spirit of life shining, and thought that things over there were coming to an end. After blinking for a moment, the mechanical bird sharing the broken vision sent an unclear message.

In fact, it is indeed coming to an end.

The task Sigrid accepted from Jenkins was just to go to the old elf to get the Arrow of Destruction, but when she delivered the arrow to the club and the musicians successfully enchanted it with a song, Hathaway told her a Very sad news:

"Jenkins said he can't leave City Hall, so it's up to you to handle this."

With that said, she handed the box containing the arrows to Sigrid, and then handed the cane that Jenkins gave her to Sigrid:

"The Orthodox Church does not have earth roots, but the earth roots are the roots of the World Tree. Jenkins said that this cane also contains elements of the World Tree. You use the method of controlling the vitality to control the cane to transform into roots and wrap around the arrow. It will probably have the same effect.”

"Maybe? No, no, I can't."

Sigrid shook her head quickly and kept retreating. Hathaway stepped forward and grabbed her right hand. The two were so close that Sigrid smelled the fragrance of the other person and was forced to hold her breath.

"This is not possible. Be confident. You and he are both descendants of the World Tree Priest. There is no reason why he can do it but you can't and you can't. Do you know who shot that arrow in the last century?"

"Of course, that is the former demigod of our church. She is also a half-blood elf."

"But I bet that the demigod who lived in the last era was just an ordinary mixed-blood elf, and you are the descendant of the World Tree priest and the blood of the royal elf. From this aspect, you have actually won. "

Chapter 1975 Chapter 1946 Sigrid’s Courage

"Hathaway, how can things be settled like this?"

Sigrid still shook her head, but couldn't break free from Hathaway's grasp.

"Sigrid, do you understand? You are just not confident when facing comparison with Jenkins. Moreover, Jenkins has prepared defensive measures. It doesn't matter even if you fail."

Hathaway still held Sigrid's right hand with her left hand. With her right hand, she took out a spiritual magnet from her pocket, then put it into Sigrid's side pocket, patting it carefully to make sure that the magnet would not Dropped out:

"He's not pushing the danger to you, it's just that he can't get out now. He has always liked girls who are independent and strong. Besides, can't you help Jenkins?"

Hathaway knew that if she said this, the other party would definitely agree. Although despicable, it is also a persuasion technique. Just as she expected, Sigrid straightened her neck:

"What do you mean? Of course I'm willing to help Jenkins."

"Didn't you realize that I was actually using Jenkins to force you to agree?"

But after all, I still think it's despicable to do this.

"This is not considered coercion. Since I can do it, of course I will not escape."

"But I took advantage of your favorable opinion of Jenkins after all."

"This doesn't count..."

Sigrid stopped suddenly and looked at the young lady whose face was almost touching her own.

"You don't want to tell me that you don't like Jenkins at all, do you?"

Hathaway said with a smile. At such a close distance, the two of them could see each other's reflection in each other's eyes.

Seeing Sigrid blushing and not knowing what to say, Hathaway smiled, then suddenly stretched his head forward and kissed her forehead. This isn't Hathaway suddenly falling in love with someone else. This represents a blessing in etiquette...at least on some occasions.

"Before going to Privet Drive that day, didn't everyone agree on the identities of the girls present? Silly girl, do you think others can't see your thoughts? In fact, even a fool like Jenkins can see it. "

Jenkins did see it and discussed it with Hathaway and others at the cocktail party. Unfortunately, he didn't handle it well in the end.

"Then I..."

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that since you want to stay with Jenkins, you must understand that you are not just a vase or canary beside him. Even chocolate has its own use by Jenkins' side. I I don’t think there’s any reason why we can’t compare to his cat.”

There is quite a lot of resentment in this sentence. It is really hard to say whether the resentment is directed at Jenkins or Chocolate.

The ladies around Jenkins could always find common ground in their complaints about his relationship with cats, so Sigrid said nothing more and nodded:

"I'm going to do my best to do this right."

"There's no need to be nervous. If fate doesn't favor us, then Jenkins will change it."

"You trust him so much?"

Sigrid asked in surprise. Hathaway naturally let go of her hand, and then took a step back, her face showing joy from the bottom of her heart:

"Yes, the person I choose must be different."

Anyway, Sigrid ended up on the battlefield alone with the Arrow of Destruction, and Hathaway played a big part in it. And her arrival also changed the situation of the war to a certain extent. At first, people thought that Jenkins had arrived. The vampire who initiated this incident was afraid of the power of the World Tree seedlings, so he hurriedly reunited with [Human Jigsaw] and then summoned nearby people. Mechanized corpses, ready for the next attack.

The church was very relieved. There had been almost no record of defeat in the occasions where Jenkins had appeared. But when they met Sigrid and found that Jenkins was not here, they were very surprised.

Sigrid explained the situation and showed the arrow in her hand:

"Jenkins must stay at City Hall, where he says things are more important."

With that said, he looked at Miss Bevanna in accordance with Hathaway's last instructions. Miss Bevanna immediately understood that the throne and the identity of the savior were related to the "Uncrowned King". Compared with the "Human Puzzle", the former was obviously more important.

After all, although the church can't do anything about this monster, the weakened version of the monster has no advantage at all in the confrontation with the church.

"Well, I guess it makes sense for Jenkins to do that."

Miss Bevanna expressed her support on behalf of the Sage Church, so Sigrid looked at Miss Bennett, the Holy Child of her church. The latter took care of Sigrid when she was a child, and the relationship between the two parties was very unusual.

The determination could be seen in Sigrid's eyes, and the latter nodded helplessly:

"Well, I don't think Willemt makes this decision lightly."

With the support of these two, others also said that they could let Sigrid give it a try. So the Church of Nature provided a wooden longbow B-01-4-7217 [Gravity of Falling Stars]. It is said that this weapon appeared with meteorites during a meteor shower in ancient times. Considering that most of the astrological phenomena in this world are related to the astral world, that is to say, this is a weapon from the astral world.

She pulled the bow, and Jenkins on the other side had also reached the last part:

"Yes, in my opinion, the believers of lies are most likely the people behind this incident. I think, since I exposed Miss Fabry's scam last time, they will definitely be on guard against me this time. The time and place of this speech were announced in the newspaper in advance, so if I guessed correctly, the believers of lies must be right in front of me."

There was an uproar at the scene, and people turned their heads and looked around, as if they wanted to see a stranger suddenly stand up and announce that he was the culprit who planned this scam.

Jenkins did not tell the mayor about this in advance, so he was very uneasy at the moment.

"So, do you know who is the believer of lies?"

This question was unexpected because it was asked by Queen Isabella.

"Everyone please be quiet."

He shouted loudly to suppress the chaotic voices:
