The Master of the Strange Realm

Chapter 2069 Chapter 2038 Acting Skills

The church prepared a mountain of documents for Jenkins to help him answer. Now one-tenth of these documents are under his chair, and the rest are under the table and under the chairs of the people next to him.

After the presentation, the two asked each other questions, and then others asked questions. Those who have a say are all those sitting around the table. In a sense, the right to speak is the right to participate, and the right to participate is the right to choose. Different ways of asking questions will make things completely different, which is why believers in lies seek support from false god sects.

The final step is a final table conversation between Jenkins and Miss Fabry, before the two decide who will bow out. Of course, considering that one of the parties would only withdraw voluntarily if serious loopholes were found in the other's plan, the church also arranged a method for both parties to insist on not withdrawing - weighted voting.

A rather ancient way, and one that is superficially fair but most unfair. But at least this can stop the mouths of future generations. The people here can indeed be called representatives of the material world, so when future history books evaluate this event, they will not say that this was a meeting where a small number of people represented the majority of people.

The above is the arrangement of the church.

But Jenkins didn't want to do this. The main reason was that it would be too difficult to concoct another plan for the future, and Princess Sophia would not be willing to make such a statement even if she wanted to.

Therefore, "Miss Fabry" suddenly stood up and raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet:

"I have an opinion."

"Do you have any opinion?"

"Have you not figured out the situation yet? If we can't even get through tomorrow, then what's the point of talking about the future? The top priority now is to select the people who will enter that metal tower and defeat the Difference Engine, rather than being empty here. Talk about how to effectively clean up polluted skies in the long term.”

"So Miss Fabry, what do you think we should do now?"

Jenkins asked.

"It's very simple. Choose the strongest one between you and me."

Princess Sophia looked at Jenkins with sharp eyes, and her free and sharp look particularly highlighted the charm of her current appearance.

"you mean......"

"Let's duel, the winner will be the savior, and the loser will automatically quit."

A moment of noise made the originally quiet room noisy, and the church immediately understood that Miss Fabry had seen through their attempt to win the final choice by using more false god churches to occupy voting seats.

"As expected, she saw through it."

Miss Stillwell murmured to herself nervously in her seat, and then her words were heard by the members of the Music Order with extremely keen hearing:

"What see through?"

Miss Bernreit asked, and Miss Stillwell could only make up lies in embarrassment to explain.

The church also considers the practice of dueling to be a lie. Believers have seen through the church's intentions, and have even noticed the church's countermeasures after planting undercover agents in the music sect. Except for the Orthodox Church, most people in the False God Religion do not approve of this method. Although it sounds good, the theme of this negotiation is cooperation, and people no longer want to see more sacrifices.

"Williamte, it doesn't matter what they think. I just want to hear your answer - are you willing to fight with me? The winner is the savior."

The woman asked, placing her hands on the table and leaning forward slightly. Jenkins did not answer immediately, because Miss Bennett, the Holy Son of the Church of Nature, intervened in time:

"The church needs to discuss this decision and cannot give you an immediate answer."

"The end is approaching, do you still want to delay time with complicated procedures? When did the church become so bureaucratic?"

"Miss Fabry" laughed, and then said to the people at the long table, nearby was the delegation of the kingdom:

"Look, this is the Orthodox Church."

“But it’s something like this that really can’t be decided right away.”

The old tombkeeper also helped to chat.

"But what does this have to do with you? This matter is just a matter between me and William. It should be resolved by the two of us. William, give me the answer."

Princess Sophia's acting skills are quite good. Whether it is her aggressiveness at the beginning, her ridicule of the church, or her ambiguity and calmness during the conversation with Jenkins, she is all right.

Jenkins wanted to show a troubled expression and then agree. Unexpectedly, Queen Isabella, who had been silent until now, actually spoke:

"He is a king, and he must consider this country in every word and deed. A duel with you, both in terms of etiquette and consequences, affects Fidictle, so I propose to adjourn the meeting temporarily and give us some time to consider this matter."

Jenkins did not expect in advance that Queen Isabella would speak to help him, so Princess Sophia's lines certainly did not include her dialogue.

But Princess Sophia has adapted to the identity of "Miss Fabry" and said to the old man quite calmly:

"I can promise that I will not hurt William's life in the duel. As for etiquette... Although I am a civilian without a title, this duel is related to the future of the world. It is a fair and honorable duel. , I will extend the invitation to His Majesty Willamette as a civilian, I think it will not hurt anyone's reputation, even the history books of later generations will praise our duel for both of us to gain more. of honor.”

She spoke without a single leak, and Queen Isabella could not find any loopholes for the time being. So Miss Fabry asked Jenkins again:

"What do you think?"

Jenkins stood up from the table and looked at Miss Fabry who also stood up. He closed his mouth and let out a long breath through his nose. His eyes narrowed slightly as his nostrils fluttered, and his hands left the table.

But suddenly he relaxed again, and his body changed from leaning forward slightly to standing straight. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but suddenly closed his mouth and looked at Miss Fabry, as if he wanted to see a conspiracy from her.

Then he leaned back a little, made a chest-lifting gesture, and turned his head to the right to look at Miss Streis, but did not make eye contact with her, and then turned his head to look at "Miss Fabry":

"I am the son of the Sage Church, and I do have the highest decision-making power. Miss Fabry, I accept your challenge."

This time there was no uproar, and people stared at Jenkins, wondering why he made such a compromise in his home court:

"But you have to promise me one thing."

"Please say it."

"No matter who wins or loses, the loser must stay to help while announcing his withdrawal from the competition for the identity of the savior, and jointly fight against the disaster of the end of the world."

He puffed out his chest, with a firm expression on his face, and said in the most standard Fidictli common language:

"We are not here for our own interests, but to save the world, so I hope that we will not give up this ideal because of losing."

"Miss Fabry" smiled, and she reached out and gently lifted the hair on the side of her face behind her ear:

"Of course, William, we are all for this world."

Section 2070 Chapter 2039 The "fair" church

The last part was an improvisation beyond the script, but both Jenkins and Princess Sophia performed quite well. So much so that when their conversation ended, no one spoke or moved immediately, but looked at the two people, watching the last two saviors of this era looking at each other.

Both of them stood here for lofty ideals, and for all people. If it weren't for the arrival of the doomsday, the two people who were entangled with each other because of two scams might have become friends, or maybe...but the damn doomsday forced them to oppose and kill each other through duels.

People once again lamented fate, lamented the two people who were entangled because of the joke of fate, and thought they saw the brilliance of humanity in the two people that almost shone on the surrounding people.

"I have to say something."

The silver-haired girl Anastasia said to the ladies around her very seriously, in a low voice so as not to affect others.

"Please speak."

Brianne made an invitation gesture.

"If Jenkins dares to have any relationship with Sophia, I will definitely be very angry."

Silver Dragon muttered.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

Jenkins didn't tell Britney that he was a believer in lies, so Britney didn't know that Miss Fabry was a princess now.

"Nothing."

Anastasia didn't have the bad intention to expose Jenkins, but like a child, she kept telling Britney to keep an eye on her man.

Although Britney didn't understand why, she still nodded and agreed. Silver Dragon stopped and continued to watch things develop with interest.

Since Jenkins himself agreed to duel with Miss Fabry, although the church was not satisfied with his "willfulness", others were not qualified to object. Even if the other eleven orthodox churches, except for the Sage Church, thought that it was a bit too hasty to choose the savior in this way, it was useless to object at this point, after all, the savior was not from their church.

The duel venue was here. The negotiation field behind the Gate of All Things was like a gladiatorial arena. As long as the tables and people on the flat ground below were removed and everyone sat on the high stepped seats, the duel could start easily.

This time, no time was wasted on any rules and regulations. Under the advice of Miss Fabry, there were no requirements except that the opponent's life could not be harmed. She and Jenkins could fight with all their strength.

Britney stood there and looked down with worry. Some people might think it was fun, but it was her fiancé below, and she couldn't help but worry.

Among all the people at home, it seemed that only Britney didn't know the true face of Jenkins. After all, even Jessica had guessed it, but she couldn't be sure.

So, in order to reassure Britney, Hathaway took advantage of the tidying up of the venue below and the actual situation of the plot, restored her true face and came to Britney's side.

She smiled at Julia, telling her not to worry, and then greeted Silver Dragon, Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute in turn.

Miss Magic smiled and teased:

"Miss Bailing, this should be the first time we meet in this identity."

Although Miss Magic knew that Jenkins was a believer in lies, she rarely saw Hathaway in her real identity. The two had actually been friends for a long time, and even before Jenkins unexpectedly broke into the party last fall, Miss Magic and Hathaway knew each other's true identities.

"Should I wish you a happy marriage?"

"Let's talk about it on the wedding day."

Hathaway said, with an uncontrollable smile on her face. After saying hello to her acquaintances, she sat next to Blainey, held her hand and sat down:

"There's something I must tell you."

"whats the matter."

"As for Jenkins, you actually don't have to worry."

She leaned sideways and whispered in Britney's ear:

"Remember what I said, Jenkins has a lot of secrets, and it's not convenient to tell you, for fear of implicating you. But now it's almost to the end, and there are some things that need to be told to you - Jenkins is a believer in lies."

Just like Hathaway at the time, Britney did not understand this sentence immediately:

"What's the meaning?"

The blonde girl was not panicked. After learning that both Jenkins and Hathaway were legendary people who used extraordinary powers, and that her fiancé was actually a member of an illegal organization, it was no longer enough to surprise her:

"I know that believers in lies are a group of people. Which one is he? Didn't it mean that all the believers in lies are dead? Isn't it true that only Miss Fabry is left?"

"Jenkins is the only believer in lies."

Hathaway described it in very concise language, and then saw that there was not much reaction on Britney's face:

"Oh, that's how it is."

The blonde girl said, actually a little surprised.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Of course I'm surprised, but compared to what he told me about his abilities, it doesn't seem very surprising that he pretends to be a group of people after disguising himself, right?"

This answer disappointed Hathaway. She originally expected to see an expression that Britney didn't often show.

"Only Jenkins once disguised himself as a woman can surprise me... Oh, that's why you were so excited when you gave a speech at the city hall last time. It turns out that's the case. If you think about it, Jenkins is Fab Miss Li, in fact... he planned everything?"

Not only was Britney not surprised, she even showed a sweet smile:

"Hedwig, the man we chose is indeed very powerful."

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to see the scene she expected, Hathaway, who was disenchanted, planned to get up and return to the area of ​​the music sect. Blainey asked again:

"Then who is Miss Fabry down there now? Is it chocolate?"

"Of course not, why do you always think that chocolate can turn into a person? It's really weird. Below is Princess Sophia, who was invited by Jenkins to help."

Britney immediately understood the reason for Anastasia's inexplicable words just now. She turned to look at the silver-haired girl, who deliberately tilted her head not to look at her, determined never to admit that she didn't trust Jenkins or Sophia.

Soon the long table and documents were temporarily moved aside, leaving only Jenkins and Miss Fabry on the flat ground below. According to the agreement, both parties must refrain from damaging the venue. In addition, they can try their best as much as possible. The safety of the "auditorium" does not need to be worried by the two of them.

Jenkins and Princess Sophia stood at two ends respectively, and both of them changed their formal attire for negotiations into loose clothing that facilitated activities.

He gently touched the chocolate on his shoulder, and saw Miss Bevanna motioning for him to come aside and say something:

"Absolutely can't lose."

"Of course I won't lose."

He knew the reason why the church was nervous at the moment. Once he lost, all the church's preparations would be in vain. Although it would not be an exaggeration to rebuke him for making random decisions at this moment, Miss Bevanna said nothing, but stretched out her hand for Jenkins to shake.

Jenkins held it inexplicably, and immediately felt something in Miss Bevanna's hand:

"That's not good?"

Miss Bevanna said nothing, just looked at him. Jenkins then retracted his hand and of course took back the item in the other person's hand. When he looked down, he saw a blood-red stone. Every surface of the stone was extremely smooth. You could feel the temperature of the red stone when you rubbed it with your fingertips.

I don’t know if this is Miss Bevanna’s body temperature or the original temperature of this thing.

Miss Bevanna didn't explain anything, but it was obvious that this thing could directly help Jenkins win. Jenkins put the pebbles back into his pocket and saw that his father, who had originally claimed not to participate in the negotiations, was actually here:

"Must win."

He said the same thing and tapped Jenkins on the shoulder.
