Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 819
Dolores, as the heir to the Northland, was originally sitting next to Sarhi II. Now that she is absent, her position is vacant. Jenkins asked Salhi II to move to the position of Dolores, while lying down, sat beside Queen Isabella without disturbing others.
The old man tilted his head, his eyes still looking at the foreign princess in front of him, his shriveled mouth asked in a low voice:
"You didn't leave the city hall."
"Why should I leave?"
"The explosion just now..."
"About you?"
"How is this possible, of course it has nothing to do with me, this is my kingdom."
This is the truth, it really has nothing to do with her.
"Did you expect an accident today?"
Jenkins asked again.
"How is this possible? Of course not."
This time it was a lie, that is, Queen Isabella did not plan this incident, and the appearance of this incident did not directly contact her, but she knew about it.
To put it another way, Queen Isabella knows that there will be an accident that must be solved by Jenkins today, so she still sits here calmly after learning of the rumors of Jenkins' "conspiracy".
"You seem to be able to discern lies?"
She said suddenly, Jenkins raised his eyelid:
"For the gifter, this is not difficult."
So the old man nodded, but didn't say a word. It seemed that he believed that Jenkins would not stay here for long.
She was right, and Jenkins quickly got up and left. And Dolores finally ended her narrative about the "Fabry Hoax". After she stepped down, the podium was empty for a while.
Jessica, who was sitting with Britney in the back row, saw that Jenkins hadn't come back, so she got up and walked up. She has read Jenkins' speech and knows what to do next. Next is the core interpretation of "tulip mania". Jenkins has used data to explain the abnormality of tulip prices. Dolores also compared the two. So continue to talk about the harm of tulip mania.
The expression on Queen Isabella's face in the first row changed for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Jessica, who should have fallen asleep in the mansion, appeared here. She knew it, but she didn't expect Jessica to take the stage so decisively. But even if it appears now, it will not affect the next thing.
"The hazards of tulip fanaticism" is a very complex subject, from the livelihood of the people to the stability of the city, from the impact on the future industry to the warnings triggered by the success of the scam, it must be explained. Jessica only hopes that Jenkins can come back as soon as possible. Although she can speak, she thinks it is impossible not to speak well.
Below the stage, Queen Isabella turned around and said to the old Duke Douglas behind him. The Duke hesitated and nodded.
Queen Isabella’s King Salhi II smiled between his eyebrows, and the Duke of Windsor, who was a seat away from the Duke of Douglas, touched his knee with his finger, his face was unpredictable and calm.
At the same time, Sigrid, who had accepted the Jenkins mission, had already left the city hall. Among the ladies appointed by Jenkins, her destination is the closest. After all, the apartment rented by the old elf Siam Nord is next to the city hall.
She found the apartment at the address provided by Jenkins, after a little hesitation, she knocked on the door downstairs. The landlady who opened the door was puzzled by the appearance of the unfamiliar young lady, but when Sigrid gave out the false name Jenkins used every time he visited the elf, she still gained the right to enter the house.
She climbed the stairs and knocked on the door of the old elf's house. I was worried that there would be no one at home, but I soon heard the sound of walking with slippers pulled by the door.
The door was opened, but there was only a gap, and the anti-theft chain was still hanging in it. The old elf looked out cautiously and saw a young girl he had never seen before.
"Sorry, may I ask if you are..."
Chapter 1968 Chapter 1939
The old elf had heard of Sigrid from Jenkins, but had never seen her. Although both Sigrid and Jenkins were mixed-blood elves who had awakened the sacrificial blood of the World Tree, the old elf had no idea of contacting Sigrid at all.
Jenkins also asked the reason. At that time, the old elf's answer was this:
[No one guides you further on the path of nature and life, so I need to act as a temporary guide. But she is a member of the Church of God of Nature, and I think there must be a more suitable teacher in the Church of Nature. And I'm old, not as energetic as you young people, it is enough for me to have a headache to instruct you alone. 】
In short, the old elf only saw Sigrid's picture from the news when Sigrid first met Queen Isabella. But the black and white photos of this era were not very accurate, so he did not immediately connect the girl in front of him with another descendant of the sacrifice.
"Jenkins asked me to come, hello, this is Sigrid Capet. Jenkins has some trouble, he said..."
"Cape...oh, yes, I see, please come in."
He immediately opened the door and let Sigrid in. He wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare tea, but was stopped by Sigrid again:
"The time is a bit tight now, so I will just talk about my purpose."
She is also looking at the old elf. When accepting Jenkins’s task, she already knew that she was going to meet with a pure-blood elf. She also knew that the old elf refused to show herself to the Orthodox Church because she did not want to participate in troublesome things. identity of.
For people living in the material world of this age, pure-blooded elves, like the legendary dragons and demons, live in stories and legends. No one can refuse to meet and talk with an elf, but after meeting, Sigrid found that the other party did not seem to be as graceful and charming as he imagined it was covered in fairy tales.
If you want to portray the first impression, the old man in front of me who disguised his facial features is just like an ordinary human old man. But it looks more energetic, as if it can live a long time.
Of course, she concealed her view of the elves very well, and said what Jenkins had arranged:
"Jenkins wants to know, do you still have [Elves’ Arrow of Destruction]?"
In the "Angel Fall" incident earlier this year, Jenkins sacrificed Mr. Hood’s father, the descendant of the cursed Carmel family, with the wizard’s sword of destruction, combined with the remaining power in the umbilical cord of the Cthulhu God. The bow and arrow hurt four by one, which directly changed the result of the battle with the fallen angels.
The use of this arrow is very demanding. It was barely used when he defeated [Human Puzzle] in the previous period, but now in this period, he is not the only one who meets the conditions for use.
The problem is that there is no such arrow in the church now.
"The Arrow of Destruction? Oh, no, no, the last one was the last one."
The arrow when the angel fell, in the eyes of people other than Jenkins and the old elf, must have been shot by the believer of the lie or by the little angel. Sigrid didn't know the truth, and Jenkins didn't tell her before coming. Hearing the word "last time" at this moment, my mind only changed to understand which time the so-called "last time" was.
"So Jenkins..."
She blinked. Although the emotion in her heart was like a tsunami, she still didn't know what she should do.
"Why use the term'last one'? The meaning of the last one means that it was originally not just one. But I remember the last time Jenkins used it, only one was used. May I ask the other arrows? Under what circumstances is it used?"
Sigrid said, a few months ago everyone saw that although four angels were killed and wounded, it was actually an arrow splitting out.
The old elf was at a loss for words, and he didn't know what to say.
"Jenkins knows I have arrows here?"
asked for a long time.
"No, he just asked me to try my luck. If you don’t have one here, he intends to let me go to the altar under the old world tree to ask for help. Although there is a place to make canes for the descendants of the elves, he I thought maybe arrows would do (chapter 1294)."
"Well, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."
The elf shook his head, his expression a little frustrated:
"I heard Jenkins say that I want to go to that location, the steps are very troublesome, so I don’t have to. Yes, I still have an arrow here. I bought two at the time, so I missed the ruins expedition organized by Carmel. Avoiding the scourge of killing... You may know that this kind of arrow is a forbidden item even in the elves. In addition to being dedicated to the great as a sacrifice, under normal circumstances, any elves use this type of arrow without authorization. It is equivalent to throwing a steam bomb to the city hall in human society. I don’t want Jenkins to ban archery twice, so I lied to him to have only one."
After finished speaking, he turned and walked into the bedroom, opened the closet door and entered his "greenhouse". After a while, he walked out with a delicate wooden box:
"Since Jenkins specifically specified this kind of arrow, I think he must be in trouble with da. Take it away. You still need to find a bow. Normal bows cannot shoot this arrow. Last time my bow was already. It is ruined, but I think the Orthodox Church can solve this problem. Oh, and also, the arrow of destruction cannot touch metal, so a wooden bow must be used."
"Okay, I will take the arrow back immediately, thank you for your help, Jenkins will come to thank you later."
"You don't need to be so polite. If you have time, you can also come here. I think as a descendant of the elves sacrifice, I can also teach you some knowledge."
Seeing Sigrid got up after checking the arrows in the box, the elf also got up and prepared to bid farewell. Unexpectedly, Sigrid asked another question:
"Sorry, is this really the last arrow?"
The elf paused and looked at her, blinking unnaturally:
"Yes, the last one."
Jenkins is not present, no one can tell whether this is a truth or a lie. But this is not important, at least not today.
In the city hall, Jessica already felt that she couldn't hold it anymore. Although she had read Jenkins' speech, she did not study with Jenkins like Dolores, and she personally presided over the kingdom's financial reform.
After removing the content of Jenkins’ speech, Jessica’s understanding of the Tulip Incident, which was performed entirely by her, was actually quite low.
Fortunately, the time came to half past ten, and the next break time came again. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked off the stage, trying to rendezvous with Brian and asking where Jenkins had gone. But as soon as I walked to the first row, I saw Queen Isabella clutching her chest and being helped to leave from the side door of the lecture hall.
hesitated very much, but followed. And as she disappeared outside the door, no one saw Jessica appear again until the break was over.
Queen Isabella came back before the end of the break. The reporters who participated in the speech noticed her physical discomfort just now, but all they got was a perfunctory reply, "This is a trivial matter, don't worry about it".
Only Jenkins and his cat know the content of Jenkins' speech. In addition, Jessica and Dolores only know part of each.
Originally, Alexia should have known, but she was busy taking a step forward with herself recently, so Jenkins didn't bother her.
Now that Jenkins and Jessica are gone, Dolores wants to get up and take the stage again. But Alexia held her shoulders and shook her head:
"Jenkins has been preparing for this for such a long time, do you think he would not expect this to happen? Not to mention, before he left, he didn't arrange the next speech, which in itself shows that this guy has his own plan."
No one came to power for a long time. As the host of the City Hall, Mr. Sax Ruto could only announce that the rest period was extended by half an hour and promised that Jenkins would return soon.
Now that Jenkins and Jessica are not there, he is in public, and it is not suitable to directly talk to people in the Church of the Sages and ask about the situation. Seeing that the princess of the North Kingdom was sitting still, she could only ask Queen Isabella:
"Your Majesty, now...Do you know where the Viscount has gone now?"
Mr. Ruto asked embarrassedly, whose figure is very problematic.
"He probably has important things to be busy. We can wait for a while. I think he will come back soon. But if he doesn't come back by twelve o'clock, today will only be over for the time being regrettably."
He couldn't refute Queen Isabella, so he just reluctantly nodded. Sachs Ruto has been on Jenkins' side, but under the current circumstances, it is really difficult to continue to let...
The main entrance of the lecture hall was pushed open, and Jessica walked in with Fini and her friends.
Queen Isabella sat up straight, the change of her pupils explained her inner surprise. Her eyes were fixed on Jessica, it was incredible that she appeared here.
If you say that Jessica, who was trapped in the mansion by her in the morning, has a chance to escape after she leaves the house. After all, after she leaves, no one in the house can stop Jenkins.
But just now, she had witnessed Jessica swear by her relationship with Jenkins that she would definitely return to the lecture hall before two o'clock in the afternoon. The handle of the Grand Duke of Windsor, which was obtained many years ago, is the most powerful weapon in her hand against the Windsor family.
But now Jessica has appeared, which means that after a short ten minutes, she has violated the oath she made, which in the eyes of Queen Isabella is absolutely impossible.
But in fact, it wasn't Jessica who walked in. Jessica was waiting in the room upstairs. She wouldn't make fun of her marriage with Jenkins. It was so easy.
The one who walked into the door was Miss Windsor, the demigod Queen Windsor in the world of possibility. Miss J has played a role once, and Miss J's body is still in the mansion, so of course she has to play at this time.
And she can only play, leaving Jessica alone to manipulate the body made by Jenkins, their alone activity time is only half an hour. As a gifter, Miss Windsor, because of her own spirit, takes about ten minutes longer than Miss J's time, so she can only come.
Chapter 1969 The Song of Hathaway
Miss Windsor has no good attitude towards Queen Isabella. In her world, her parents are victimized by each other. Therefore, he ignored the astonished old man and brought the flower girls to the stage.
At this moment, she is very high-spirited, after all, she finally found a chance to play her value. The former queen and the current Jessica have similar temperaments but have essential differences. This is caused by the identity of the king and the identity of a demigod.
She just stood on the podium and looked down. People instinctively felt the awe-inspiring temperament of this young lady. Temperament is something inexplicable, but it does exist:
"Viscount William will be back soon, and now I will temporarily replace him."
Because she was too surprised, and aware of the familiar temperament in this Jessica, Queen Isabella did not raise objections at this critical moment. She vaguely seemed to see the appearance of her youth, when she was a few years older than Jessica. At the time when the king suddenly passed away, Middleton could not find an heir for a while, and was in a series of discussions. After the exchange of benefits, she, a woman of non-Middleton descent, became the queen.
At that time, she was probably so high-spirited.
"Please wait, where did Viscount Williams go?"
The old man did not speak, but the young Duke of Rochester behind her spoke. The young duke is the most loyal person in the Queen's faction. He played the role of inducing Jenkins in the accidental poisoning of Queen Isabella some time ago.
Miss Windsor did not answer immediately, but stood on a high place and looked at him. Staring at her, an invisible pressure like a superior person made the Duke of Rochester very uncomfortable. He wanted to open his mouth to break the atmosphere created by the young women on the stage, but Miss Windsor took the lead and just rightly spoke first:
"The Viscount naturally has important things to do. The Tulip-related matter is actually not over. The last Fabry scam was dealt with after he revealed it, and this time, it is necessary to make everything public. , To deal with it first to prevent more serious problems."
itself is a very reasonable explanation, coupled with the convincing rigidity of Miss Windsor, even the Duke of Rochester did not object.
He leaned forward and wanted to talk to Queen Isabella, but he saw a surprising emotion on her side face:
"Your Majesty, why are you... crying?"
Queen Isabella trembled afterwards, and then hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes:
"It's nothing, don't care. Listen to Jessica's speech. She brought so many children to the stage, she must have a purpose, but we don't know..."
Even Sarhi II, who was on the side, could see how grotesque this queen, who had always been calm and steady, was at this moment.
Miss Windsor didn't know too much about Jenkins's original speech plan. It was Fini who stopped her on the way she came quickly, and then took the initiative to bring her friends to the stage.
Fei Ni and the many flower girls were arranged in advance by Jenkins. Even if he is not there, it can go on smoothly.
It’s just that although Miss Windsor relied on her own means to continue the speech temporarily, she could not continue to replace it. Jenkins had to appear, otherwise even if the Tulip scam was successfully exposed, there would be no connection with the throne.
On the other side, Hathaway who also accepted the Jenkins mission, because the destination is far away, has only now reached the "Three Violin Club" in the east of Nolan in a carriage.
Last time, Hathaway brought Jenkins and Britney to the concert here, so Jenkins ran into the Music Order which was in a meeting. In fact, they did not move their bases because of this, and now this club is still the headquarters of the Music Order in Nolan.
Hathaway rushed into the club, because she was a familiar face, and no one stopped her.
She went directly to the special members area of the club on the third floor. Instead of entering the rehearsal room at the end, she turned into the corridor on the other side and pushed open the double-opened golden wooden door behind the stairs.
Behind the door is the largest office in the club, but because the owner who uses it has changed the decoration style very casually, it is now more like a musical instrument collection hall than an office.
Behind the only brown solid wood desk where the original purpose can be seen, Miss Lydia Burnrett, who is essentially the archbishop, is holding a sheet of music.
