"I don't care about other things, but I want to know what's the matter with the mechanical abilities you use? I am very old and knowledgeable, knowing that the abilities that can be derived from items are extremely rare and weird. Yes, let alone, the miner's lamp you just proposed was a bit uncomfortable even when I saw it. This ability is not right, very wrong!"

　　 He refuses to admit that for a few seconds, he thinks that the beauty of unnatural mechanical structures can actually surpass nature.

　　 "How do I remember you saw this miner's lamp."

　　 Jenkins mumbled uncertainly, and then called the lamp out again and placed it on the desktop:

　　 "The origin of this ability is complicated, but its core is the power of the Protoss."

"Protoss?"

　　 the elf asked suspiciously, stretching his finger upwards, and Jenkins nodded slowly:

　　 "Yes, this is the Protoss."

　　 So the elf narrowed his eyes to look at the blue-violet light in the miner’s lamp, and it took a long time to straighten up, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Jenkins, you have to remember that you are the descendant of the elves and the people who are favored by the world tree. Whether it is death or machinery, it is not the power you should touch. If you think your power is insufficient, I can take my All the abilities you have mastered are taught to you, and there is no problem at all.

　　 Don't accept the invitation from death, and don't believe in the temptation of the protoss. "

　　 "The... temptation of the Protoss?"

　　 Jenkins suspiciously said that the Protoss he had heard from his father and the book were the kind of positive characters who always maintained an absolutely neutral camp.

"Yes, there are many faults in the history of mankind due to the change of epochs. They don't know some things. But the elves have a complete historical record. We know what the characters of the Protoss are... They are very old. , And possessing powerful power, they can almost be regarded as the masters of the star realm. The Protoss claim that they will never interfere in the historical process and destiny of the material world, nor will they intervene in the changes of mortal races, but in fact, the group faces all day long. The old man in the cold starry sky likes most to guide mortals and interfere with their destiny."

　　 The elf spoke ill of the Protoss unceremoniously:

"Although they are indifferent by nature and don't like to communicate with life outside the astral world, they are smart creatures no matter what. Do you think it would be fun to stand on the sea of ​​stars every day? Protoss on the surface advocates not to interfere in the material world, but in fact it is better than Everyone likes to interfere, and he still doesn't admit it."

　　 Elf made a disdainful expression:

　　 "So, the Protoss can be trusted, but don't regard them as mentors and guides, they are a group..."

　　 Elf organized his own words, and soon came up with a good sentence:

　　 "That is a race that is not afraid of big things when watching the excitement."

　　 Old Elf’s words Jenkins fully believes that if the Protoss is really completely undesirable, then the current Star God cannot be from the Protoss race. Jenkins has long wanted to understand this.

　　 Jenkins understands the painstaking effort of the elves. He is now afraid that Jenkins will fail to awaken [World Tree Saplings] because of the "unclean" power. This ability is not only the supreme glory of the elves, it cannot be defiled, but also the key to whether this era can survive.

　　The elves believe that as an elder, they have the responsibility to guide Jenkins. Jenkins understood his kindness, so he didn't refute it, but said in his heart to the protagonist Rakul, who was said to him, apologizing.

　　 The key found tonight seems to have the effect of breaking the seal, but he doesn't know whether it can break all the seals. In addition to this key, Jenkins also has a key gift, that is, the [Silver Key], a strange prop that can open the passage between the material world and the outside world in the treacherous realm.

　　 These two keys can swallow each other according to the principle of similar swallowing, because they are all C-class gifts, so this is not difficult, and they even belong to their own spirits at the same time. Both are slowly attracting each other.

　　 It's just that Jenkins is not sure whether the unique effects of the two keys will be completely retained after swallowing each other, so they did not merge the two into one. Once these two keys fall into the wrong hands, they will become key props that endanger the material world. Therefore, Jenkins does not intend to give the gift he received tonight to anyone, but intends to keep it for his own research.

　　 After bidding farewell to the elf, he went home. The night was already dark, but none of the girls at home were asleep. When Jenkins opened the door, Hathaway and Britney were sitting in the living room discussing the layout and furniture of the home, while Julia was making tea in the kitchen.

"why are not you sleeping?"

　　 he asked.

　　 "Of course it's waiting for you to go home, do you always come home so late?"

　　 Britney asked.

　　 "It's not always, it's just a bit busy during this time, you don't have to wait for me."

　　 He said cheerfully, because tonight's actions went smoothly, so he was in a very good mood. Now when I return home, I feel better when I see someone waiting for my return.

　　 Hearing this, Hathaway and Britney got up and went upstairs. Jenkins walked into the living room from the hall, and Julia came from the kitchen with a saucer.

　　 "You don't have to wait so late, just go to rest. If you are exhausted, Dolores will complain to me."

　　 "Mr. William, this is my job, and..."

　　 Miss Maid raised her head and looked upstairs:

　　 "The two ladies waited for you to come home specially. I think you should at least say something thoughtful, instead of... urging them to go upstairs to sleep."

　　 "Is that so? But it is indeed time to rest."

　　 "...How did the princess see you?"

　　 The maid complained in a low voice, but before Jenkins asked again, she directly said that she was going to the room to rest. Only Jenkins was thinking about what the maid had said just now, thinking that there was still a lot to learn.

Chapter 1678 Chapter 1651: Unexpected Death

　　 So came to Friday, the fourteenth day of the starry sky and the moon of the long night.

　　 The morning sun shines through the thin white fog into the peaceful St. George Street houses. After the glass filters out some light, the restaurant needs to turn on the gas lamp to maintain the brightness required for daily life.

　　 The girls in pajamas and Jenkins were sitting around the dining table, eating a hearty breakfast prepared by the maid. Jenkins is still a little uncomfortable with having so many people in his family at breakfast time, but reason tells him that there will be more people in the future.

　　 While eating as usual, he checked letters and newspapers. He also told the girls that he was going to meet the two old dukes of his country today.

　　 There is no big news in the newspaper. The three kings and the delegation of the Twelve Orthodox Churches came to the local area and they have occupied two-thirds of the newspaper. As for those letters, after returning from Jenkins to Ruen, the number of letters has increased day by day. Now it is not just the letters from readers forwarded by the publishing house, but all the nobles and big factory owners he does not know like to send letters to him.

　　 "Queen Isabella, wants to invite Dolores' father and the southern kingdom to meet and discuss state affairs..."

　　 He read the news in the newspaper:

　　 "But before the three kings meet, Queen Isabella will meet alone, especially the talks with the proud Takov, which will determine the course of the future war."

　　 "Aren't these all set long ago? Speaking of which, how was the assassin yesterday, who was trying to assassinate you?"

　　 Hathaway cared.

　　 Jenkins has not heard of the follow-up of the incident, but an hour later, the old man told him the result of the incident:

"The church did a targeted divination and then immediately arrested people. This time the incident has nothing to do with extraordinary powers, it is a conspiracy of politicians and careerists. The church has put pressure on the king and council of Chesland, and they will admit it. This incident was planned by the restless people in the country and will apologize to you at that time."

　　 "In this way, wouldn't it become the church that put pressure on the main combatants of the Chessland Kingdom?"

　　 "Yes, so the arrogant man from the southern country not only does not object, but also agrees."

　　 The church did two things with one stone. On the one hand, it found excuses to support the king who opposed the war, and on the other hand it avenged the murderer.

　　 "So this matter is solved perfectly, right? Then let's talk about what happened last night, father, I heard that the Church of the Dead caught a gear craftsman last night..."

　　 Jenkins leaned on the counter with a relaxed expression.

　　 "No, this matter is not over yet."

　　 Dad interrupted him:

　　 "Viktem is dead."

"Who?"

　　 Jenkins didn't react, and then he remembered that it was the young man who invited Alexia to dance at the prom and was pulled behind by Jenkins on the dock to block the gun.

"died?"

　　 He frowned and changed his position behind the counter to stand:

　　 "It was obviously on the shoulder and he was sent to the doctor in time. He died? Is the bullet poisonous? Or is it tetanus?"

　　 "No, it has nothing to do with bullets."

　　 Daddy looked at Jenkins with a sad expression:

　　 "I was assassinated while recuperating at home."

　　 This incident was not published in the newspaper, and Victorm was also the heir to the kingdom. Although the inheritance ranking is very low, it is also related to the country's face. At such an important moment, the royal family pressured the newspaper not to publish any news related to this.

　　 But this does not mean that this matter will not be traced, but from the motive of the murder, Jenkins is the first to be suspected.

　　 When the police from Carfax Field really went to the old antique shop to look for Jenkins, he believed that his expression must be very funny.

　　 But this is the fact. At the dance party two days ago, Jenkins was in front of many people because of the dispute with Viktor about his partner. On the dock a day ago, although the cat's movements were uncontrolled, Victor was still shot because of Jenkins' cat.

　　 No matter how you look at it, he is really very doubtful.

　　 "Viscount, this is just a routine investigation, you don't need to be nervous."

　　 The Vivendi detective who was sent to interrogate Jenkins was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a big beard. While cursing his boss in his heart, he took out a small book to record. Regardless of whether Jenkins Williams is really related to this matter, it is not a good job to come to him for inquiries.

　　 As Jenkins's royal status, even the highest officer of the Carfax Field, it is difficult to say that he suspects him, so this matter was pushed around, or he casually sent a detective over to question.

　　 This at least shows that Carfax Field does not believe that Jenkins killed Victor, and therefore does not pay attention to his inquiry.

　　 "Where were you last night?"

　　 asked the police detective in uniform, but before Jenkins could speak, he started writing and drawing in his notebook.

　　 "I last night..."

　　 He glanced at the old man. The old man looked at the newspaper and didn't think of talking. Jenkins did kill someone last night, and he couldn't let anyone know his whereabouts.

　　 "I was at home last night."

　　 "Can anyone prove it? Oh, I'm just asking, not suspecting you."

　　 The middle-aged Vivendi police detective joined the team of Carfax Field only when he was young and believed in "justice" and "fairness". He is not afraid of authority, but the young and overly royal member in front of him does not look like a murderer. He thought that he was here to offend people, so he was very polite when he spoke.

　　 "Is the proof? Yes, I was at home last night, yes, at home. Then, there are three ladies at home..."

　　 Vivendi’s eyelids moved, and he continued to scold his boss in his heart. He thought he had heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

　　 "If necessary, I can find them to prove what I said."

　　 Jenkins added.

　　Of course, the detective would not go to the daughters of Earl Hesha and Marquis Mihail for questioning, and there is no reason to ask the personal maid of a foreign princess. He still has reason and cherishes his career very much. So I learned about Jenkins's movements last night, and then asked some unimportant questions, let Jenkins confirm that his record was correct and signed and left.

　　 Dad watched all this behind the counter and waited for the detective to leave before saying:

　　 "You must have been not home last night."

　　 "I didn't kill anyone!"

　　 He said immediately, and the cat beside him yawned lazily with his paws, hoping that something interesting would happen on a boring day.

"Of course I know that you can't kill Viktem, but you have to be careful about this. Anyway, don't let you get involved in the death of other heirs, it will ruin your reputation. But don't worry too much. The church still has a certain influence on the newspaper."

　　 The old man looked down at the newspaper. Although his voice was very low, he was very imposing:

　　 "Even if someone really wants you to be entangled in this matter, the newspaper will pay you back."

　　 PS: victim: n. victim

Chapter 1679 The first thousand six hundred and fifty-two chapters of the big scam

　　 Victorm's death was unexpected by Jenkins, but he died when he died. Vendetta among the nobles is not uncommon, but this time it happened that the guy who had hatred with Jenkins was assassinated.

　　 On the other hand, Jenkins stayed in the antique shop all morning, and left after lunch. Dad also understands Jenkins' busyness during this time, so he allowed him to ask for leave, but he just told him not to forget the task of studying.

　　 In the afternoon, I will meet with several old dukes of my country with Miss Windsor. These are all targets that can be won. Since the revolution of the steam industry swept the entire material world, major wars and conflicts have never broken out. The number of dukes in the Kingdom of Fidcicles has not changed for a long time, and most of the nobles who still have titles are inherited from their ancestors.

　　 Although there are no wealthy businessmen and big factory owners who are nobles, they can still get seats in the parliament with money. But in the final analysis, this era is still the era of nobility in power. The seat of the upper house is controlled by the nobles. At the same time, the real power of the country is not in the hands of the parliament. The king is still the king.

　　 The gray-haired old dukes were originally loyal to the bloodline of the Middleton family. When they saw Jenkins himself, they were "shocked." Although Jenkins looks young, just sitting there without talking, there is a kind of oppressive aura that normal people can feel.

　　 "You are a born king."

　　 The old dukes sat on the sofa and praised each other, not realizing what they were facing.

　　 It's easy to win their support, but it's a little troublesome for the army. Most of the army officers were promoted by Queen Isabella personally, and one-third of them were not of aristocratic background. They are more loyal to the Queen than to the royal blood or the name of the Middleton family, so apart from the Third Army, no other army can even Miss Windsor.

　　 Dolores’ intelligence shows that Queen Isabella has direct contact with the army. This old man seems to have a loose grasp of power, but in fact, she has been in power for 50 years and has not done nothing at all.

　　Miss Windsor will continue to help Jenkins run and try her best with Dolores. Among the young men who intend to jeopardize the throne, Jenkins is the one with the greatest advantage, and he doesn't know how to lose.

　　Farewell to Miss Windsor, Jenkins went home and had dinner with Hathaway and Britney. Hathaway seemed to be in a bad mood, Britney said, today there was a strange woman who was very beautiful and met Hathaway.

　　 Jenkins guessed that it was his senior sister, and asked Hathaway. She only said that someone from the music church contacted her, but refused to tell the purpose of the Jenkins church.

　　 In the evening, I played cards with the three ladies at home for a while, let them sleep first, and then left the house to see Dolores and Alexia.

　　 is probably worried about safety, and the Stuarts are now scattered in the city. King Salhi II lived near the Church of the Sage in the city, very close to the house where Queen Isabella stayed.

　　 Alexia greeted Jenkins with a hug, and the three of them are going to Run tonight to confirm the specific situation there.

　　 "There is a very important thing before this."
