Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 616
"Jenkins, long time no see."
Miss Windsor, who hadn't seen her for a long time, opened the small wooden window and said, with a gentle smile on her face. She is still so heroic, but it doesn't make her look feminine. On the contrary, the unique temperament combined with the beautiful face and fair skin can make this lady look noble and full of charm.
"Long time no see, Miss Windsor, your hair accessories are very beautiful."
The last time I came to Berdyland to accept the award, Miss Windsor hosted Jenkins very well. Jenkins could not forget this, so he behaved quite politely.
"Where are you going? Why don't I see you off? I happen to be fine now."
The lady on the carriage made an invitation.
Jenkins couldn't find a reason to refuse, and he and his cat wanted to go back as soon as possible, so they hesitated and agreed. Only after boarding the carriage did he discover that there was only Miss Windsor in the huge carriage, and he thought there would be a maid who would take care of chores.
"I go to the Church of the Sage in the suburbs."
He said to the coachman. The coachman nodded silently, shaking the reins, and the horse pulling the cart began to walk slowly. The sound of wheels crushing the stone road appeared again, but this time Jenkins was in the car, so the voice was a little dull. .
"Jenkins, when did you come to Beldiran? I heard that you had been in the city of Ruen in the Kingdom of Hampavo before. I also saw a photo of you and the Northland Princess in the newspaper."
Miss Windsor asked, the carriage was driving very steadily, and the liquid level of the black tea did not shake at all in the teacup with the right hand wearing the lace gloves. From a friend's point of view, this question is not excessive. It’s just that Jenkins now knows the secrets of his family, and he knows that the lady in front of him is also a strong contender for the throne. In addition, he is not sure if Miss Windsor knows about Williams, so he can’t guess what the other party is. What are you going to do.
"My teacher asked me to come back as soon as possible. You know, I work as an apprentice in an antique shop, and my dad thinks I have had enough time off in Roon."
He explained this way, and saw a rare swordsmanship explanation book on the small table. There was a knight sword in the corner of the carriage, which was not an ornament. Miss Windsor's hobby is really different among ladies of her age.
"Did you always live in the Church of the Sages while you were in Bel Dylan?"
Miss Windsor asked again, the smile on her face was natural and kind.
"Yes, the church provides me with a room for free, and also has breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don't need to live elsewhere."
He said, wondering what the lady in front of him wanted to do. He absolutely didn't believe that this meeting was accidental.
Chapter 1516 The first thousand four hundred and ninety-three chapters of the new home
"The accommodation provided by the church sounds good, but after all, it is in the periphery of Berdylan. If you want to go to the city to do things, it is still very inconvenient. If you want to find a temporary accommodation in the city, I can help."
Miss Windsor said again.
"Thank you for your kindness. Actually, I also have my own house in the city. It was...I bought it last year, but I am still used to living in a church."
Beldiran’s house was assisted by Jenkins across regions at the end of last fall. After helping deal with the demigod who tried to merge with A-12-2-4219 [Dirty Devourer’s Flesh] for immortality, the church gave it His reward (Chapter 488), together with the reward, was the pocket watch chain that foretells good and bad luck. Unfortunately, in order to deal with the angels, the chain has been blended with the arrow and destroyed as a disposable weapon.
After that, Jenkins has not had time to come to Bel Dylan, so the house has been under the care and cleaning of the church. Just now Miss Windsor mentioned the house, and he remembered that there was such a thing.
"The church is indeed a bit far away, and it is really troublesome to want to enter the city... During my stay in Beldiran for a week, I may move to the city for a few days."
He thinks this way, but he actually thinks that if you move out to live, you don’t have to worry about being discovered by the church for some inconvenient things to do.
"Where exactly is your house? I can help hire some servants."
Miss Windsor said, Jenkins refused again after a few polite words.
Along the way, the two talked a lot about things, but none of them brought the topic to the throne. Jenkins thought that the other party was probing, so he carefully avoided sensitive topics. In fact, he hoped that Miss Windsor could be more open and honest. He didn't think much about the throne, and the two would not become enemies.
"...Speaking of your second book, your Majesty also talked to me a few days ago. She likes your writing very much and would like to know if your third book will be published in the near future?"
"This one......"
He just had a draft for the third book, not even the basic finished version. During Ruen's stay, he was busy helping Dolores deal with government affairs and travel between the two places, and had no time to conceive a detective story.
"It doesn't matter, I know that excellent works will not appear one after another. You need time to polish. Your Majesty actually appreciates you very much. She often talks about you with me and thinks you are a model of young nobles."
she praised, and these words are actually true.
"This time you come to Bel Dylan, if your majesty knows, you will definitely be summoned. A long time ago, because of the Fabry scam, your title should have been promoted, but for various reasons, you are still just a baron. I think your majesty will take this opportunity to promote you to the nobility, and then you may live in Berdy Lando for some time."
Ms. Windsor's words and everything meant to tell Jenkins not to return to Nolan as soon as possible. Jenkins didn't know what the intention was. After all, if Miss Windsor also wanted the throne, she should rush Jenkins back to his hometown as soon as possible. He nodded superficially and agreed with Miss Windsor's opinion. In fact, he speculated every word of the other party in his heart, and then realized that he did not have such a talent, so he planned to ask Alexia for his opinion at night.
It took half an hour for the carriage to take Jenkins to the vicinity of the Sage’s Cathedral, where the religious spires and magnificent church buildings were in sight.
Foreign carriages are absolutely not allowed to enter the Holy See, so Jenkins got out of the car at the beginning of the trail, and after a polite farewell, walked back to the church. The handed-in mirror needs to be confirmed face-to-face, so it was taken out of the wooden box by Jenkins himself. This is also the first time Jenkins has seen this mirror.
He kept the mirror facing to the side, and handed the mirror to the gentleman in the special item handling office that he contacted. The latter took the mirror, and then turned both sides to him indifferently, then nodded:
"No problem, it is indeed it. Your speed is really fast, Mr. Williams."
"You just looked in the mirror..."
Jenkins pointed this out hesitantly, and took a step back to prevent this person from going crazy.
"It's okay. For the gifter, this level of damage is almost negligible, as long as it is not tempted for a long time. You said that an ordinary person died because of this mirror? I am afraid that in a while, our office will also Someone should be sent to participate in the autopsy. This should be the fifth person to die because of this mirror since records."
The somewhat thankful gentleman lamented, put the mirror back into the wooden box, bent over and opened the drawer, and started looking for the registration form and the standard containment report for handing over special items.
Jenkins nodded clearly, hesitated to pick up the mirror again. Take the front view first, because there is no disease or curse on him, so nothing happened. Then he turned the mirror over to the opposite side. After a second, he put the mirror back into the wooden box with a flushed face and took a step back.
"Look, it basically doesn't work for gifters, especially high-level gifters."
The man in the office said, Jenkins said that he would hand in the report as soon as possible while trying to forget what he had just seen, and then fled away.
"Meow~"
In fact, Chocolate is very curious about what Jenkins saw.
After handing in the mirror, Jenkins applied to the church to move to the city. He thought that the church would reject his application because of security issues, but he didn't expect that after he said this, he immediately got permission to reply. And because the house has all the furniture, and the servants usually tidy and clean it, Jenkins only needs to hire someone to move the large amount of luggage he brought from Luen.
"Why do you think the church might not allow you to move out? You are also an adult, and your own strength is enough, the church has no reason to restrict your freedom."
After moving to a new house in the center of Bel Dylan, Jenkins invited his father to him for dinner. The old man asked curiously at the dinner table. Jenkins thought for a while, patted off the little paw that stretched the chocolate to the plate, and then replied:
"Probably because when you were in Nolan, you always restricted my travel."
This is actually half complaining about the old man.
"Isn't that for your own good? From now on, it's also for Nolan's good."
Dad nodded his head and pretended not to hear it, then took a bite of the veal steak:
"Which restaurant you brought back from, it tastes good."
Jenkins and Dad are not good at cooking, so before Jenkins officially brings the hostess to the family, they still have to rely on the outside restaurant to eat.
PS: I am collecting manuscripts, and I will open a reward as soon as possible.
Chapter 1517 The first thousand four hundred and ninety-four
"Speaking of strength, when I was in Luen, I had already risen from level four to level five."
At the dinner table, I don't know which sentence was talked about, Jenkins said suddenly, he is already level six, but he can't say that he has gone up two levels in a month and a half.
"So fast?"
Daddy looked suspiciously at Jenkins:
"Have you ever encountered a trick in Luen? Even if you are amazingly talented and copy those tadpoles normally, it is impossible to go from level 4 to level 5 so quickly."
"Probably encountered some tricks, in fact...Dolores is also a gifter, but an unregistered gifter. She has given me a lot of help."
He decided to reveal some secrets.
"Dolores? Yes, I remember, it was the name of the princess of the Stuart family. If I remember correctly, this generation of the Stuart family does not have a gift, so the Stuart family The things in the treasure house are probably not used..."
The look in Jenkins's eyes became strange.
"I didn't eat soft rice. We are friends. I will not use the underage girl's feelings towards me for profit."
He declared quickly.
"Yes, just friends who live together."
Dad snorted, obviously not believing what he said, but then reminded:
"Although I can't care about young people's affairs, and I don't know how wood like you deceived the princess, but I want to remind you. Jenkins, don't forget, you still have two friends in Nolan It."
Dad re-read the word "friend", obviously mocking what Jenkins said just now. Jenkins kept silent about this, and bowed his head intently to tease his cat.
"I really don't know whether you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid. The dull look in the past is your nature or a means of attracting women."
The old man sarcastically said, seeing that Jenkins continued to care about the cat, knowing that he did not want to talk about this issue, so he turned to a new topic.
"Your family is coming to Bel Dylan, do you know?"
"Family? Will the whole family come?"
This is still pretending to be stupid, he had heard from Nolan a long time ago.
"Yes, before I came to Beldiran, I wanted to ask them if they would send you a message. Your father said that your family is going to Beldiran for a holiday and will come to you at that time. Their train tickets are later than mine. Some, but counting the time, it should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If you want to give them a surprise, you can go to the station and check the train timetable. I will tell you the number of the steam locomotive they ride in a while."
"They came to Berduran, maybe not all for vacation, right?"
Jenkins asked suspiciously with a fork.
"How do I know this, you can ask yourself, this is your family's business, it is not convenient for me to mix it up."
Daddy shrugged, reached out and turned the kerosene lamp on the dinner table to light up, then lowered his head to continue processing the food on the plate.
"Daddy, why don't you move here? Instead of staying in a hotel, you should live with me."
Jenkins proposed again.
"I think it's better to forget it. The living habits of old people are different from those of you young people. I think it's better for us to stay away."
For some reason, Dad’s answer reminded Jenkins of the curse caused by the key on him for no reason. The power of the curse will cause any gifted person with a higher strength than the old man to suffer terrible bad luck when approaching him for a long time.
Jenkins lowered his head, in a bad mood. It took quite a while before I mentioned that I was going to get the mirror today.
"B-10-04-3977 [Mirror of Good and Evil]? I have heard of this mirror. According to some rare pre-epoch data records, this mirror was not born in the material world, nor did it enter our world through the deceptive world. This is a treasure left in the material world when an angel is called."
said the old man.
"It's indeed a treasure. If you don't consider the harmful effects of the negative side, just the effect of the mirror front expelling and absorbing curses and diseases is magical enough..."
He remembered the curse on his father again, so he tentatively asked:
"So can that mirror absorb all the curses?"
"How is this possible? It's just a general curse. I even suspect that the mirror can't completely expel the [Disease Curse] you used. You are now a Level 5 bestower. Even if you don't count the power bestowed by the sage, you are It can be said to be powerful among mortals. Jenkins, you have to be aware of this yourself."
The old man said, using a spoon to press the torn bread into the broth. This is his unique way of eating, Jenkins can't understand what is delicious.
"That's it, it doesn't seem to work."
Jenkins thought to himself, he really wanted to expel the curse that the key had put on his father. The sage's gaze cannot be done, but this does not mean that the power of the gods is completely useless. He believes that if the **** of perfect body makes all the effort, the curse of the key is nothing but dust.
"I will definitely help Dad."
He thought to himself in his heart, ignoring that part of the food on his plate had been stolen by the cat.
Speaking of the task of recovering the mirror, I have to mention the three people who hide their identities. The old man was not interested in strange organizations and thrift shops, but he knew the Earl of Paramount.
"I don’t know the countess, but Berdylan’s friends say that the lady is a rare beauty in a century. She and the earl probably got married in early February this year. At that time, the tabloids were all about the news. You won’t Don’t remember?"
Daddy said this, Jenkins barely found traces of similar news in his memory. Jenkins is not a person who likes to read lace newspapers.
"As for the Earl of Paramount himself, he is a well-known and friendly Slan faction among the nobles of the kingdom. Now the two countries are at war, and the newspapers have mocked him many times, so he rarely appears in public, but he should still be in Bell. Dylan. Although this man chose the wrong way to stand in line, he is still very loyal to the royal family. I don't think he will get involved with illegal supernatural powers, probably because of being unfair to others. The beautiful duchess may have a big deal. problem."
Dad’s hunch was completely correct. Early on Sunday morning, Jenkins sat on the bed with sleepy eyes and thought about how to eat breakfast. Chocolate was hurriedly when he used his arm on his head to get him out of bed to cook. The knock on the door brought a second guest to the new house.
wearing pajamas opened the door and found that it was the priest of the church. He changed his clothes in a hurry, took the bread his father had brought as a gift last night on the road to eat, and then rushed to the church in the suburbs with the priest.
Chapter 1518 The first thousand four hundred and ninety-five chapters of blood mosquitoes
The carriage passed through the city and brought a crowd to the cathedral on the outskirts. On the way, Jenkins was eating bread while understanding the situation. Chocolate was forced to endure a day without a regular breakfast.
Specifically, after the three people were arrested yesterday, the church followed the clues they provided to understand the situation. Among them, the residence of the Earl of Paramount was best to find, but when the scribal team of the church and the accompanying police and priests came to the outskirts of the manor, no one opened the door for them.
"I went to see it too, it was really scary, I didn't expect it."
It was Mr. Johnson Gilbert who spoke to Jenkins in the church. This gentleman was an acquaintance of Jenkins. When the Ice Envoy broke into Nolan Church last fall, he led a team from Beldiran to support. In winter Jenkins came to Beldiran to receive the award, and this gentleman was responsible for his safety:
"Our team of scribes broke into the manor yesterday evening and found some servants hiding their faces and weeping as they walked along the courtyard corridor. When they approached, the servants attacked our people. Their bodies were severely mutated and their bodies shrank and changed. It rickets, blood streaks appear on the skin, the eyes are sunken into the eye sockets, and the nose and mouth become unusually sharp and hard. A small number of individuals have structures that resemble cicada wings but do not have the ability to fly."
"This sounds familiar, is it...A-01-1-3900 [Curse of the Blood Mosquito]?"
"Yes, that's it."
