Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 This night, the entire material world is snowing, and people all over the world walk out of their homes, surprise, or worry, or excitement, or fear, unanimously reaching out their hands to catch the falling snowflakes.

　　 Even after dawn, everything will return to normal, but this night will eventually be remembered by everyone.

　　 (Fini praying...)

　　 Early on Friday morning, it was still dark, Jenkins stood in front of the window in his pajamas, looking at the snowflakes in the night sky.

　　 Chocolate lay on his pillow, the whole cat spread out into a long strip, with his chin resting on the softest part of the pillow, he opened one eye and looked at Jenkins secretly.

　　 The pocket watch on the bedside clicked, and the cover was opened, reflecting the ambiguous warm yellow of the gas lamp, but it was not even six o'clock. Next to the pocket watch is a model of a cake-sized ice and snow palace, because this is a category B item, even if it is only controlled by Jenkins, it cannot be recovered into the spirit like a gift.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat made a low cry, seeming to want Jenkins to go to bed obediently, but Jenkins ignored his cat. He put his left hand on the window sill, and his right hand rubbed the Sagittarius pieces taken from the palace.

　　 "Although I saved the world again and didn't boast of my achievements to anyone, why didn't I feel happy at all?"

　　 Even though the Ice Palace and the five chess pieces cannot be taken away, it is not without any gain. After the soul returned to the body, he immediately sensed that his [Ning Bing] had once again sublimated. Even though the color and name of the light spots have not changed, his control of ice and snow has now reached the limit that humans can reach.

　　 "I not only saved the world, but also improved myself... This should have been a good thing, but my heart was inexplicably heavy."

　　 This heaviness does not come from the [Master of Winter] who planned everything, but from the worry about the fate of the world.

　　 Alexia said long ago that she had noticed the imbalance of the world's elemental order a few years ago, and all of this happened to happen now.

　　 This shows that the arrival of the end of the epoch may not be far away, and the order of the material world is gradually losing its balance, which is reflected in all aspects that humans can perceive.

　　 It's not just Nolan who is in the center of the vortex. Now all over the world can experience the oppressive feeling of wind and rain, but Nolan is more obvious.

　　 This time, because of chocolate, he happened to come to Luen, which is thousands of miles away, but bumped into it. This is a inevitability born by chance. In the future, although disasters of this magnitude will not occur often, they will inevitably occur.

　　 Therefore, Jenkins is even more puzzled. He has confirmed that the catastrophe at the end of the epoch, which is bound to happen, will be even more terrifying.

　　 "Winter of..."

　　 He didn't dare to pronounce this name, after all, it is a short period of weakness after deification, there is no need to find himself uncomfortable.

Chapter 1240 The first thousand two hundred and nineteenth chapter Jenkins's sorrow

　　 Jenkins, who was not asleep after returning from the far north, stood in front of the window until dawn. He felt that the biggest focus of this Northern Kingdom adventure was not to defeat the Yeti Corps and reshape the elemental order, but to once again have a deeper understanding of the end of the era.

　　 What he is thinking about at the moment is the master. When he was investigating the history of the yeti army in the state of a god, he did not dare to explore the detailed relationship between [Lord of Winter] and the army.

　　 But even so, the faint clues indicate that before becoming the master, [Lord of Winter] used to be a god, and he was also a **** with great influence, and his beliefs covered the entire northern part of the continent.

　　 "So, when the disaster at the end of the era comes again, can the gods and the rulers outside the world provide blessing and help to mortals as they do today?"

　　 He doesn't know the answer, but instead of looking forward to the protection of others, it is better to try to solve the problem on his own.

　　 Jenkins has made up his mind. After returning to Nolan this time, he must find a way to condense his divinity, and can no longer rely on external divinity.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat lying alone on the pillow narrowed his eyes and called again. The voice was very soft and soft, and the beard on his mouth trembled, but Jenkins still ignored it, and concentrated on the chess piece he held in his hand.

　　"Moreover, Ruen’s affairs are not over yet. Although the imbalance of the element balance is a natural cause, the real beginning of this disaster is the tree house's support for Lack Stuart's trouble.

　　 Speaking of it, not many members of the [Tree House] actually appeared in this incident. According to Alexia, even the two ‘inferior’ demigods who fought with us at the gate of the House are not necessarily all members of [Tree House]. Therefore, the only people who are affiliated with [Tree House] are the ordinary people who deal with corpses near the square. They may be subordinates of this crazy organization..."

　　 So this thing is very magical. Although the tree house is not the root cause of this disaster, it is one of the direct causes. But in the end, the [Tree House] hardly appeared, just doing something behind the scenes.

　　 "These lunatics..."

　　 Jenkins murmured, the cat looked at Jenkins's back with one big eye open, and twisted on his pillow very depressed, looking very dissatisfied.

"So, what role did the Stuart family play in history? The ancestor of Stuart was able to obtain this gift...Although I passed the test of those chess pieces, it seemed easy. But this is the exception..."

　　He can only be sure now that the Stuart family does not have the blood relationship with the ruler like the Augustus family. This family must have played a very important role in a certain period of history that has disappeared, and thus obtained such a unique position, but now no one can say exactly what Stuart did.

　　 looked down at the chess piece in his hand again, the ice archer seemed to be smiling at Jenkins. Even if he possesses multiple gifts, he must admit that apart from the sword of quite unusual origin, this is almost the most powerful Class C gift he has ever come into contact with.

　　 "Although I didn't intend to take possession of it, after all, this is Dolores's, but I got the other four, which is a pity."

　　 He sighed again, his left hand on the window sill knocked on the wall panel, and then opened the window.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cool morning breeze rushed into the room immediately, causing the dissatisfied Chocolate to scream again. But the wind is not very cold. Even though there was a snowfall last night, the temperature began to rise a few hours ago. By the time of dawn, it is very close to the normal temperature in the early spring.

　　 Looking at the darkness at the end of the horizon, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Last night I did so many things with just one drop of divinity. I still remember that half a year ago, the first drop of divinity came from an unknown towering tree. It just made me check the memory of that evil spirit and it burned. Exhausted... Does this mean that my use of divinity is getting more efficient? Well... this should be considered a good thing."

　　 Even if no one pointed this out, Jenkins can understand that as time goes by, he gets closer and closer to the great ones. This is not only reflected in the improvement of strength, but also in all aspects of life.

　　 As for the use of that drop of divine nature last night, I naturally obtained some pieces of knowledge of the original owner of the divine nature. Because of the divine power quality of the divinity, Jenkins suspects that it comes directly from the dominator, or a pseudo-god with the priesthood of [ice and snow] related to the dominator [Lord of Winter].

　　 After knowing that the greats can occupy two or more positions at the same time in the form of clones, Jenkins will now subconsciously think about whose vest he is no matter what **** he faces.

"[Snow Memory (yellow spell)], to communicate with the snow in a certain area, and to obtain what happened in that area during a certain period of time...Although it sounds like a divination method, it has nothing to do with divination. This is a high-level usage of the spirit of communicating the world. Although I don't use it, Dolores may be interested."

　　 casually wiped it in the air, and a thick piece of parchment was constructed by [Reading]. Under the effect of the extremely powerful [ice freezing], the density of water molecules in the air changed slightly, holding this piece of parchment paper floating in front of Jenkins.

　　 letters appear one after another on the parchment, this is Jenkins recording this ability.

"[Calling Snow Plague (Yellow Curse)], cursing a certain piece of land, producing an extremely rare highly transmissible disease... When Nolan had the plague some time ago, I seemed to listen to my father mumble After this kind of servitude, the onset is characterized by extreme snow addiction and a high degree of addiction to snow."

　　 After hesitating, he still recorded the curse, maybe Dolores would be interested.

　　 The cat shook his head behind Jenkins, knowing that Dolores would not be interested.

"[Ice Mang (Red Fight)] When using any weapon with a sharp blade to attack, the blade of the weapon is blessed by the power of frost...How does this sound like an enchanting ritual? Many rituals Can do this, but I don’t know how powerful it is."

　　 He also recorded this last ability, thinking that after returning to Luen, he could discuss it with Alexia. The short lady likes to explore these things.

　　 looked out of the window from the parchment that was gradually filled with writing, the young man with his left hand behind his back, and the young man with his right hand on the window sill sighed again. Although he seems to benefit from every disaster, Jenkins still hopes that the world can be more peaceful.

　　 He didn't understand why all of this started, but he knew that all of this would end by himself, the "savior". Where the magnificent era is headed, perhaps only between his thoughts.

　　 There were no lights in the room, so when the first ray of sun broke through the night and illuminated Jenkins's figure, the cat behind him could see clearly. Originally, the cat was lying there boringly. At this time, looking at Jenkins's figure standing in front of the window, he unexpectedly felt that he was much taller.

Chapter 1241 The end of a long journey

　　The time has come to 5:40, which is very close to the usual wake-up time for people and cats. Chocolatier finally accepted the fact that Jenkins would not go to bed before the night fell, so she got up from the pillow, jumped under the bed and then leaped on the window sill.

　　 Seeing Chocolate crawling over, Jenkins naturally reached out to scratch his chin. The cat squinted his head and shook his head, and the short cat hair dangled in the morning breeze.

　　 "Ha~"

　　 Jenkins yawned against the wind, and then the cat yawned immediately, even though he slept soundly last night.

　　 "Chocolate, why did you wake up so early? Oh, yeah, it's almost dawn."

The young writer sighed, then waved to the window. Pieces of falling snow flew into the house from the ground, tree branches and roof, compressed and shaped near the bedside table, and then turned into many models like the real ice and snow palace. .

　　 "Okay, that's it."

Although there is still a long distance from the front line, when everyone got up in the morning and planned to gather and set off on the New Year's train, the local church had already received the news from the Ruen headquarters. The team of 100 people is now You can return.

　　 Someone in the area witnessed a vision in the sky last night. The captains from different churches checked the news from different sources and basically pieced together the truth.

In addition, because Jenkins who "acts insomnia" has a good foundation in astrology and divination, he analyzed the meaning of the "starry sky vision" and sky phantoms he saw last night, so shortly after breakfast, this one was far away from Luen and The front-line team has actually learned most of the facts.

It took a lot of effort to find a train that could carry a group of people back to Ruen, but fortunately, after the coordination of the church, in the afternoon that day, four carriages were temporarily hung on a steam locomotive heading to Ruen. People carrying ice sculptures made by Jenkins lined up into the dilapidated small station almost filled with steam and soot.

　　 Those ice sculptures were specially made by Jenkins to help study what happened last night. Because he is the only one who has witnessed the castle up close during the day and the phantom of the sky at night, so these models he provided are very valuable.

　　 As for the palace on the snow-capped mountains outside the town, someone has been sent to investigate this morning, and it is now just a bare hill covered with snow. If it weren't for the palace in the sky last night and it were too similar, maybe people would think it was a collective hallucination event.

　　 Just like that, when the train returned to Luen with Jenkins and his party, the time had come to this Saturday morning. Exhausted, Jenkins got off the train with an ice sculpture model packed in a cardboard box and his cat, and then saw a large number of people waiting to greet him at the gate of the train station.

　　 I thought about it and gave the ice sculptures and cats as souvenirs to Dolores’ servants to bring them back to the manor. Then they got into the church carriage and returned to the church with their companions.

　　 The people who stayed behind in the church held a grand welcoming ceremony for the group. Even if they did nothing, they did not even reach the front line, but this expedition was quite rewarding.

　　 The ice blue heart left by the snow monster and dozens of palace models were taken away by the local secret guards. In addition, the demigod Mr. Rosier (note), who returned from the front line to the diocese of Ruen, finally met with Jenkins because the fighting in the front suddenly stopped.

　　 This is a gentle-looking middle-aged man, but he is probably older than Bishop Parrod. He is an acquaintance of Bishop Parrod. After chatting with Jenkins about the accident, he talked about Nolan.

　　 He was stationed in Nolan more than 20 years ago, and was transferred after five years of stay. He is a native of Nolan and has lived and worked in Nolan before he was promoted to a demigod, so he has known Bishop Parrod since he was young, and even knew Robert Williams, who had just fled to Nolan when he was young.

"St. William, I still remember your father. That year, there were very few poor people who were able to escape to Nolan from the hard-hit area of ​​the plague, and most of them found refuge in the church. I remember it was Wednesday. In the afternoon, before the sun set, he walked into the church with a small parcel on his back. After explaining his identity, he hoped to be sheltered. At that time, I happened to be in the chapel of the main hall to listen to the sermon of the old bishop Parcival... .. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed."

　　 This gentleman warmly invited Jenkins to dinner at the church. During the dinner, he talked about Berdylan, Nolan, and Roon.

　　 As for the ice and snow disaster and Roon’s accident, he did not talk much, but hinted at Jenkins that this matter will ultimately be decided by the church and the Hampavo official.

　　 Of course, because of the widespread influence of the chaos and disaster of the Stuart royal family, it is still hard to say how it will end. Now what they can do for those who have witnessed it is to write and hand in their troublesome report.

"Did you know? Writing reports on everything, even thinking reports and weekly summaries on the front lines, is a unique tradition of the Church of the Sage. Someone once said that this is a legacy of history and a bad tradition that should be abolished. , But most people think it’s pretty good and quite ritual."

　　 Only the demigods of the church dare to take this kind of thing and joking with Jenkins.

　　 "I really agree with this approach, I can find a familiar feeling from it...but it is indeed troublesome to write these reports frequently."

　　 Jenkins has a feeling of nostalgia on his face.

　　 "Frequently?"

　　 Mr. Rosier asked puzzledly.

　　 When Jenkins left the church, it was almost ten o'clock at night. Before returning to Dolores’ manor in the church’s carriage, Father Fernando, who was in charge of all the affairs of his Ruen, reminded him that the church will commend him in the near future, and hope that Jenkins will be there; and Bel Duran will be there at any time. Jenkins has new arrangements, so they need to know whether Jenkins will stay in the princess's manor in the suburbs recently.

　　 "Of course, I have lived there during my stay in Roen."

　　 He replied. From the expression of Father Fernando, the priest seemed to have misunderstood something... as if there was no misunderstanding.

　　 King Salsi II had already awakened during Jenkins’s departure from Run, so Dolores could not live outside the palace. Now only Alexia is in the manor, and she welcomes Jenkins back with a big hug.

Chapter 1242 One Thousand One 221 The Situation

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat squatting on the coffee table made a harsh scream. It came back with the ice and snow palace. It has been waiting for Jenkins for a long time.

　　 "No accident, right? I was in Luen last night and I also saw anomalies in the sky."

　　 the short lady asked with concern.

　　 "I think that palace, probably the entire material world can be seen."

　　 Jenkins took Alexia’s hand and sat on the sofa. Seeing the cat standing next to the palace angrily, he pulled it to his lap.

　　 "Speaking of which, it's over?"

　　 "It's over, this incident is barely over. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be like this in the end."

　　 He took a long sigh, and then briefly recounted what he had learned along the way. The conversation with the ice sculpture priest was reduced a bit, and the final deification process was narrated in the third person, but he believed that Alexia could understand all this.

　　 "This is good, St. William, you saved the world again."

　　 She deliberately used this name to tease Jenkins.

"Yeah, I saved the world again... I hope I will come later next time. I really just want to spend a holiday in Luen this time, but it turned out to be what I am now. When will I be able to return to Nuo? Lan doesn't even know."

　　 The end of the disaster is a good thing, but it is not a good thing for the church that has entered a state of emergency. Everything has to be rearranged. Although it won't be a mess, it will definitely take some time before Jenkins returns to Nolan.

　　 "How is the situation on Luen's side now?"

"The ruins of the two streets around the House Square are still being cleared, and all of Lack Stuart’s supporters and followers are being liquidated. The two steam cannons have also been found, right opposite the main entrance of the House. The third floor of the'Harms Gentlemen's Club' two blocks away. It's funny to say that the club was originally the private property of Steppe Stuart, and he was taken by Lac Stuart after he disappeared. "

　　Stipe is the prince who was "disappeared" during the hunt last winter. He is still alive, but Jenkins hasn't heard from Dolores for a long time.

　　 "What about Salcy II's body?"

"It's not very bad, but it also caused serious damage to his health. Although the shot in the abdomen has no effect on the things that can kill him in the head, I think the King, after this double blow of spirit and body. It was originally estimated that he would live to the end of the year, but now it seems that this is a rather optimistic view."

　　 Jenkins saw Salsi II with his own eyes, only once in the underground chamber. But at a glance, he was sure that the problem with Dolores's father's head was not caused by external forces. It was really a natural disease like a brain tumor.

　　 In other words, since the disease is not caused by external forces, naturally it cannot be solved by solving this external force. It is almost certain that Salsi II will die within this year. In the remaining eight months of this year, Ruen may have something "more exciting" happening.

"The current situation is very delicate. As you know, Dolores’ eldest brother Salot Stuart lost an arm, and the kingdom has no precedent for the disabled to be kings; in Salot Stuart, In addition to Tuart, the most favorable competitor was the second prince Lack Stuart, but he is now dead; therefore, Salot, the biggest opponent of the disabled competition, became the eldest princess.

　　 But as I said before, the Kingdom of Hampawo is not the Kingdom of Fedictelli. This country has only appeared once to rule the country by a queen, and neither the nobles nor the people at the bottom want their new king to be a woman. "

　　 Alexia concluded that the light from the crystal chandelier above her face made her look more beautiful.
