Earlier last week, Jenkins learned from Miss Silverflute from Mr. Hood’s meeting that the Kingdom of Fidcicle would officially declare war on the Kingdom of Chessland this Friday. I didn't expect the other party to take the first step, and the time stuck on Wednesday night was so ingenious that it is hard to say whether a spy had leaked out the military plan of the Kingdom of Fedictri in advance.

　　 But unlike previous discussions between newspapers and citizens, this time a war is really coming. Going back to the study with Julia, and talking to the ladies for a few words, they know that they don't have much hope for peace.

　　 "We all know that the Kingdom of Fidiktelli and the Kingdom of Chessland have feuds, border disputes and so many years of friction, even without Nolan's fuse, the war will not be eliminated."

　　 As for how far the war between the two countries will go, and which side will win in the end, no one dares to guess now.

Among the three human kingdoms in the material world, the two kingdoms occupying the east and the west have officially declared war, and the northern kingdom has suffered two serious attacks in just two weeks. Even the king has to start thinking about succession. Human problem.

　　 This world is really starting to mess up.

　　 On Thursday morning, all the newspapers Jenkins could find reported on the declaration of war between the two countries in the form of front page headlines. Some newspapers even claimed that the frontline forces had had the first friction last night, but this is unconfirmed news, because of the turmoil and military blockade, even Dolores’ spies do not know what the frontline is now. what's the situation.

　　 Jenkins and his friends live in cities far away from the war, but this does not mean that the war has nothing to do with them. When Nolan checked the mailbox in his home in the morning, while listening to the hard shouting of newsboys from a street away, he found a two-page recruitment brochure lying in the mailbox. Later, he learned that it was put out by the city hall. , Even if Nolan is not in the conscription, some things must be consistent with the whole country.

　　 Unlike Dolores and Alexia in the Northland, the ladies of Nolan are all directly related to the war. Hathaway and Britney’s father are both important navy members of the kingdom. Even though the Nolan Navy is still preparing for a decisive battle with the pirates in the open sea, this does not mean that the kingdom will postpone the navy after the decisive battle because of their hard work. Advance to the east.

　　 Hathaway was very worried about this. When Jenkins saw her at the club, she took a newspaper and read it. That page was the frontal photo of Earl Hesha.

　　 "In order to end the battle of the Broken Isles as soon as possible, the navy was also involved in the battle against Chessland. His father, who was originally in Nolan, also led the fleet to the Broken Isles to command operations."

　　 Hathaway said very worried.

"In fact, he disappeared a few days ago, and my mother didn't tell us where he went. Now that I understand, the kingdom does not want the plan to be exposed, so the team led by my father is acting secretly. My mother is really worried. Every day at noon these days. Will spend a lot of time praying for his father."

　　 Jenkins didn't know how to comfort his girl. No one could stop the war. As a soldier, Earl Hesha naturally had the responsibility to go to the battlefield.

　　 Even though Nolan is one of the cities farthest from the front line of the war, the news of the beginning of the war still makes people living here panic. People talking about this can be heard everywhere. Whether it is pessimistic or optimistic, most people do not like war.

The advent of the war also brought a large number of foreign populations to Nolan, because Nolan is a non-recruitment area expressly stipulated this time, and it is far away from the front line. In just one morning, Jenkins saw many people from the city. The carriage of unfamiliar family crests brought various nobles and merchants to this city.

　　 This is a common occurrence in the war years. People will always gather spontaneously toward a place that they think is safe, but they don't know that Nolan is actually the most insecure place.

　　 Also because of the news of the war between the two countries, the riots that took place in Ruen on Tuesday night did not make the headlines on Thursday. It seems that people think that the disasters in a city are not particularly important compared to the disasters in two countries. Therefore, few people care about the rhetoric that the church has made up so hard to blur the truth.

Hathaway learned about the whole process of the Ruen riot from Jenkins, and also from him. Fortunately, those dark shadow monsters are invisible to ordinary people. Therefore, although the citizens know the turmoil in the city, most of them only Thought it was just a murderous madman running around.

　　 Those who really took part in the battle on the street, except for the unfortunately dead nocturnal passers-by, were those private soldiers of unknown origin.

"If this happens to Nolan, I think Britney will be able to guess that the supernatural really exists. Speaking of which I forgot to tell you, after the camp fire a few days ago, she has been looking for the one who will take them Rescue the lady in the tower."

　　 Hathaway looked at Jenkins and asked:

　　 "So what kind of face did you use to do that?"

　　 "I don't remember clearly, she should be an ordinary-looking woman? What's the matter, worried that Britney likes her?"

　　 Jenkins used an inappropriate tone at an inappropriate moment to make a joke that even cats knew was inappropriate to an inappropriate person, which caused Hathaway to glared.

　　 Compared with Jenkins, who has been busy recently, Hathaway's life is much easier. The red-haired lady is happy to listen to Jenkins telling about his life and adventures. After speaking frankly that he is the scribe of the church, Jenkins can tell more of his own stories.

　　 Although in his opinion, it was mostly difficult past events, but in terms of storytelling, it was quite good, and Hathaway was willing to listen.

　　 When mentioning the new cane, Jenkins mentioned the elves and Miss Cape by the way. He sighed and sighed that the past of the Williams family was too complicated, but he ignored the surprised expression on Hathaway's face:

　　 "Have you investigated to this point?"

　　 "Yes, if most of the insiders were not willing to say, I might be able to find out more things. Now that the war is coming, it will be more difficult to conduct cross-regional investigations.

　　 But I already have a plan. When I return to Nolan, I will tell Robert and Mary about Miss Capet, and then take the two pieces of metal I own and recognize it with Miss Capet. Maybe the father can tell more about the family's past when he meets new relatives. "

　　 said, he took off the metal hanging around his neck. Now they are spliced ​​together, although it is still not visible what shape it is, but it looks much more regular.

Chapter 1325 Chapter 1302 The Beginning of the Game

　　 "Your father gave you something representing the family, doesn't it mean that he acquiesced that you will inherit all of the Williams family?"

　　 Hathaway asked tentatively while checking Jenkins's pendant.

"Why do you think so? I think my father will leave them to me for safekeeping, just because I found the second piece... and the Williams family is just a commoner family, and there is no ancestral property or historical honor to inherit. , Even if my father is really eccentric to this level, he just gave me his savings and Privet Road house. You know, I am actually quite wealthy myself and don’t care about it.

　　 Jenkins touched his cat as he said, and the cat called out in cooperation to show that he was satisfied with Jenkins's petting. This is a feedback mechanism, because Chocolate knows very well that if he doesn't respond to Jenkins' actions, he can't let him know that he is doing the right thing.

"you're right."

　　 Without looking at Jenkins’ eyes, Hathaway lowered her head and replied, then handed the pendant to him, solemnly instructing:

　　 "You have to keep this, maybe it's something like a token."

"You mean my ancestors once saved the mysterious man, and the mysterious man gave him this thing, indicating that he will repay his favor in a few hundred years? Oh, this is the part of the classic knight novel, maybe I will know it because of it. Several princesses."

　　 Jenkins said jokingly.

　　 "You already know the princess now, and you still live in her house."

　　 Hathaway pointed out this sternly, and Jenkins didn't dare to continue joking.

Because he cared about her father, Hathaway secretly checked the documents in his study, combined with the information she had learned from Britney and the Marquis of Mihail, and deduced that the Nolan Navy would be broken in half a month. The islands launched a decisive battle, completely ended the overseas war, and then plunged into the battle against Chessland.

　　 This is a key force. The Nolan Navy is the most powerful of the naval forces in the Kingdom of Fedictelli.

　　 Hathaway even thought about going to the open sea to ensure her father's safety, but the overseas situation is complicated and she still has some seasickness, so this can only be thought of.

　　 "But it won't be too long. Even the pirate king has died in Nolan. The pirates in the open sea will not be the opponents of the regular army."

　　 Jenkins comforted, hoping everything is safe.

　　 Hathaway is going to visit Britney, who is confined at home in the afternoon, and talk to her about the war by the way. So after having lunch with Jenkins, and told him not to forget to write a letter, the two separated. Jenkins routinely wandered around the clock tower, and it was not until the evening that he successfully entered the world of apocalyptic fantasy, even his feet were sore.

　　 The old man from the clock tower expressed surprise at Jenkins's reappearance, and was blunt about the surprise:

　　 "People who are extremely close to the power of space can enter this place with a very small chance before the world completely overlaps the real world. How do you get in and out every day?"

　　 Jenkins can't answer this question, just like he doesn't know all his inexplicable talents, he doesn't know whether the so-called fit space is related to his accidentally becoming Jenkins.

　　 You always have to do things one by one. No matter how anxious you are, some things cannot be done overnight.

　　 After dinner that day, Jenkins, who had just found a chance to rest, was brought into the city by Dolory Ribbon and gave a disaster relief speech with her in the finance department. Now almost all high-ranking nobles and officials know that Salsi II is about to abdicate, so the attitude towards these princes and princesses who intervene in government affairs is slightly different than before.

　　 "I always feel that after I came to Luen, my life was busier than in Nolan. At least when I was in Nolan, I often spent a long time at the old antique shop, lying on the counter for a long time."

　　 Jenkins said to Alexia, but the shorter lady said that this is life.

　　Time is like being pushed and run. Friday just came. Jenkins still remembers that today is Hathaway’s [Story in the Story] game time, so I went to Nolan after breakfast.

　　 After preparing for the basement of the house, he took his cat to the slums in the south of the city.

　　 The early morning in the slums is much more lively than outside, not only because of the high population density here, but also because the people here have to work harder to survive.

　　 The people living here have new talks because of the coming war. When looking for addresses, Jenkins heard people walking by and people squatting at home for breakfast, expressing their opinions on the war loudly.

　　 Nolan’s poor have little relationship with the war. Even if it is an emergency mobilization, they will only be found at the most critical moment. Therefore, taking the lives and lives of a large number of strangers as conversational resources is one of the few recreational activities at the beginning of a new day of hard work. It is hard to say whether this life is more cruel, or war is more cruel.

The address provided by Hathaway is in a small three-story building in the middle of the slum. There are at least 20 families living in this building. All the decorative walls that can be removed have been removed, and the landlord divided the houses one by one. The small cubicles are rented out, although the living environment is a little worse, but at least it is cheap enough.

　　The only thing that remains the same is the attic, which is not rented out, but some abandoned furniture is shelved by the landlord. Hathaway didn't know under what circumstances he discovered the anomaly here, this kind of location is really hidden.

　　 For safety, she has used some means to prevent the people living downstairs from coming back for a day, so when Jenkins climbed the stairs, she did not encounter strangers who looked at him.

　　 all the way to the attic, standing at the door wearing a mask is Hathaway. She looked at the white cat vanilla squatting on Jenkins' shoulders before letting him in, when Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat had arrived.

One of the trigger conditions for 　　 B-11-1-0299 [Story in the story] is that there are 3 to 10 gifters in the room, so Hathaway did not enter the door.

　　 "Is anyone else coming?"

　　 Jenkins pretended not to know the result on the sewer blackboard, he stood at the door and did not go in.

　　 "Mr. Magic is coming, but Mr. Silver Flute is not coming. It is said that he has encountered some troubles and will not appear in the city in the near future."

　　 Mr. Hood explained for Hathaway, he walked out, and then motioned to Jenkins to go in and sit down.

　　 Just now, Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat were sitting on the sofa on the side of the attic. It was a rough fabric sofa. At this time, only the left side of the fabric was left, and the right leg was also broken, so the sofa was tilted, but I could barely sit on it.

　　Because it is piled up with similar discarded furniture, it looks extremely crowded. Hathaway had obviously cleaned it in advance, otherwise there would be heavy dust on the floor.

Chapter 1326 Chapter 1303 Character Selection

　　 Jenkins's attention is currently mainly on the table in the middle of the attic, as described in the B-11-1-0299 information, this is a wooden round table. The intact lacquer and exquisite workmanship make this round table stand out among the discarded furniture in the attic. Everyone will understand at first sight that this table shouldn't appear here.

　　 "Is that this?"

　　 Jenkins thought in his heart, blinking an eye and saw the dazzling aura. He looked at the table with interest, but he didn't see the special features of the table from the outside.

　　Miss Magic was still late at last. It was originally agreed to start at nine o'clock in the morning, but everyone heard her rushing upstairs at nine ten ten.

　　 If it were not because they were all acquaintances, the other four would not wait. Miss Magic also knew this, so she apologized to everyone very sincerely and explained why she was late:

　　 "I came out of the house at seven, but I had an accident on the way...I entered a strange place and just escaped from it."

　　 Only Jenkins and Hathaway know what she is talking about. Hathaway has heard Jenkins describe the doomsday fantasy, and Jenkins has been in and out many times.

　　 He was a little surprised at this time, and the worries he had been worrying all the time finally became reality-the doomsday world is getting closer to reality. The specific manifestation is that more and more people will enter there in accidents.

　　 "I want to speed up the processing of those rituals."

　　 He thought in his heart, and then heard Hathaway announce that everyone's game could start.

　　 After the five participants gathered in the room, the surface of the round table in the middle of the attic oozes a warm yellow luster. The luster grew brighter and brighter until everyone had to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, the small attic had turned into a warm and dry spacious room, and the flames in the fireplace glowed on the table. There are six soft seats around the table, tea sets, desserts and all kinds of food and drinks on the ground.

　　 "Six chairs, why is there one more chair?"

　　 Only Hathaway knows the rules. She told everyone that after reading the rules book for a while, she naturally understood.

Jenkins even saw a soft cushion about the size of chocolate, which was placed on the table facing one of the chairs, so he chose that chair and put the chocolate on the cushion, and the cat immediately felt comfortable. Scream.

　　 Not only has the environment become more comfortable, but the area of ​​the round table has expanded to an astonishing level. The original round table was hollow underneath, but now it is solid behind the tablecloth. I don't know what is hidden underneath.

　　 The size of the room has changed, and all the messy furniture has disappeared. The styles of the walls and floors have become comfortable and pleasant, and there are still some oil paintings such as the Dragon Quest on the wall, which are very suitable for the current environment. Naturally, the door could not be opened, but the room that had no windows originally had an ordinary window on the side wall, allowing everyone to look at the street view of Nolan outside.

　　 After everyone had chosen their position, with the sound of the gear mechanism inside the table, a hidden grid rose up beside each person's hand. Inside was a rolled parchment roll **** with a ribbon. After the parchment was taken out, it was recycled in a secret grid. After checking, it was found that the parchment was written with the same content in chic and beautiful swash letters. This is a rule book.

　　 "If every category B extraordinary event can be as friendly as this, then our life will become more comfortable."

　　 Jenkins heard Mr. Hood sitting on his left hand sigh. He also felt the same. After so many things, this was probably the friendliest adventure he had ever encountered.

　　 The parchment scroll is very long, densely written with a lot of game terms. The first paragraph is the background of the story, which is the background of this game:

　　 [Time came to the General Calendar in 1867, this is the era of the steam industry. On the west coast of the main continent of the material world, there is a prosperous city named Nolan. The five adventurous young people living in this city met through letters and met on April 19 of this year for a pleasant and exciting adventure together.

　　 They met at nine o'clock in the morning that day, and then set off together to the abandoned hospital outside Nolan. Your story begins at this moment...]

　　 "Isn't this date today? And the location is also Nolan, it really feels like a substitute."

　　 Mr. White Cat waited for Hathaway to finish reading, he couldn't wait to say that he was very interested in this kind of game. There is only a vague premonition in Jenkins's heart, especially the "abandoned hospital" just mentioned.

　　 "Well, let's choose the identity according to the regulations."

　　 Hathaway interrupted Jenkins' thinking, but let everyone start the next step. The characters in the adventure are not the five of them, otherwise such an adventure would be meaningless.

　　 So everyone uses the pen they carry with them and writes their real names at the back of their respective rule books to indicate acceptance of the terms.

When everyone raised their heads again, there was the sound of gears turning under the empty round table again, this time with the sound of a steam oven whistle-even though there could not be this thing under the sealed table top, a little rose in the center of the table top In the wooden grid, there are two D10 (ten-sided) copper-colored dice.

Because the area of ​​the table was expanded to an astonishing degree, someone had to stretch out his arms and lay on the table unsightly if he wanted to touch them, so in the end, Jenkins could only use the deformed walking stick to move the dice to In front of Hathaway.

"According to the rule book, each of us rolls two dice in turn. The first time represents the ten place and the second time the ones place. According to the result of the two digits, one of the 100 preset characters is selected to play the game. This character is a character that really exists in Nolan."

　　 Hathaway said, seeing that everyone was silent, so she picked up two dice and rolled out the numbers. The result of both times was zero, but this does not mean that her result is zero, on the contrary, it means 100.

　　 "Although it is stated in the rule book that the characters rolled out have nothing to do with the size of the numbers, but I think the largest number should have extra luck."

　　 The magic lady next to Hathaway said with a smile, Hathaway didn't say anything, but after picking up the dice and throwing it, with the operation of the gear, the role information in the secret grid that rose again on her left hand.

　　 It was a bright silver piece, which looked like a work of art.

　　 After just one glance, Hathaway's hand shook. I believe her complexion must be ugly if she is not wearing a mask.

Chapter 1327 Chapter 1304 Host

　　 The sound of the fire burning in the fireplace in the comfortable room makes people feel warm and comfortable. Jenkins looked at Hathaway weirdly. After she got the character card, she behaved abnormally.

"According to the current characteristics of this game, the rule of'characters are real' is definitely not a lie to enhance the sense of substitution. Did Hathaway get Britney's characters? She is worried about us The four reveal their true identities, or are they worried that this game will happen synchronously in the real world?"

　　 Jenkins thought, a little worried about Hathaway. But soon he didn’t have to worry, because after coming to him in clockwise order, he rolled two heavy dice and got the number 50, he got it on the silver metal plate, and it said Britney M. Haier's name and information.
