Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 He asked a straightforward question. Out of caution, he did not directly use the word "becoming a god", but he still remembered the person who was blown out of his head because of the question of becoming a **** in the golden treacherous realm of the ancient castle.

　　 "Do you think I am qualified to answer this question for you?"

　　 The woman shook her head, with a regretful expression on her face.

　　 "Then what's the matter with this guy?"

　　 Jenkins kicked the stone sculpture of the cursed again, and put a piece of soul gold in his palm:

　　 "But this question is not worth a coin, so you'd better provide some information that surprised me."

　　 "Of course it's okay, you will be satisfied."

　　 The woman twirled away the gold coin in Jenkins's palm:

"There are vampire species in the manor outside the city using the [Scarlet Dinner] Mystic Lock. This Mystic Lock is also a type of banquet, and it is the range I can intervene. The Mystic Lock is currently close to collapse, and the amount of curse inside is really It’s too big. I think the woman who claims to be the countess can last up to three more days. I brought this out, yes, to show you my sincerity and prove that I have the ability to interfere with the [Scarlet Dinner] locks. But I assure you that when I brought it here, the curse did not spread out. As for your sin coin, I can tell you the weakness of the lock. If you are willing to spend 9 sin coins , I can directly solve Misuo and all the troubles in Misuo."

　　 Obviously Jenkins does not have such financial resources. [Crystal of the Dream] has cost him too much savings.

　　 "Go on, what is the weakness?"

"The original appearance of this maze is the family gathering of vampire species, which provides strength for every participant. In other words, the real function of the scarlet dinner is to mobilize the power of every vampire species in the maze, and then feed back. For all members. This time the mystery that appeared in the material world has cleverly used the characteristics of [Blood Mosquito Curse] that transforms humans into blood-sucking creatures, and at the same time, the ever-increasing characteristics of curses have made the backfeeding stronger and stronger. , In order to achieve the effect of'resurrection'.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Misuo, killing the Countess is the most direct way, but it is very difficult; the simpler way is to invalidate the concept of [Dinner Banquet], which makes the process of losing Misuo disappear and directly weakens Misuo. The power of all cursed creatures within. "

"how should I do?"

　　 Jenkins’ [lie] still cannot affect the concept, unless he is willing to use divinity. But since the divinity is used, the goal can also be achieved by directly killing the countess, there is no need to sabotage the mystery.

　　 "You can use this. This is a part of me. It has the power to interfere with the concept of [banquet]."

　　 She pulled off one of her long hair:

"As long as you carry it in the maze, within thirty feet (approximately 9.1m) of the organizer of the maze, this hair will work. Maintain this state for two minutes, and those cursed in the maze You will lose the ability to resurrect, and the power of the owner of the lock will be greatly weakened. You can use the lock to be destroyed for a short time backlash. In this state, even if the vampire is a cursed demigod, I am afraid it will be The power of your mortal state is about the same."

　　 Jenkins thought that the hair would also be charged, but he didn't expect the woman to give it to him directly. He casually pulled a stick from the bush beside him, wrapped his hair around the stick, and put it in his pocket.

　　 The cat did not show curiosity this time, probably because things like hair are so common that it doesn't care at all.

　　 "Then what else do you need?"

　　 The woman squinted and asked with a smile, looking like she wanted to drain all of Jenkins' sins.

"how did you find me?"

　　 "I can answer you directly on this question.

　　 You don’t have to worry about being followed by me. The moment you defeated that monster in the dream world a few days ago was exceptionally dazzling. For an existence like us, the sins of the beast of calamity and the brilliance of the divine nature are as conspicuous as the sun, so I noticed you. It just so happens that you are going to a party again, so I will appear here. "

Chapter 1588 Chapter 1563 Banquet (Part 2)

　　 The woman in front of me discovered him because of Jenkins's battle with Nightmare, and Jenkins accepted this answer.

　　 He thought that he still had 5 coins in his pocket. This time he had a rare opportunity to spend appropriately, but the characteristics of the other party determined that she didn't seem to have outstanding abilities.

　　 As if seeing Jenkins's thoughts, the woman took the initiative to say:

"I know that my abilities are weak and will not have any effect in a frontal fight. But you may understand that it is not only the ability suitable for combat that is excellent. In addition to my own and banquet-related abilities, I can also Provide you with many excellent auxiliary abilities, such as basic [toxin detection] [elegant posture] [charming face], spells [treasure detection], [happy spirit], and martial arts [sword dance·spinning] ] [Clown Magic] [Performer], and even fate-like [Party Protagonist]. These are all very useful."

　　 "What's going on [Sword Dance·Spinning]?"

　　 Jenkins asked, this kind of extraordinary ability that favors moves is very unusual in this era, and now is the era of popular spells.

　　 "The banquet needs dancers. Sword dance is also a dance. Why are you interested?"

　　 The woman asked with some expectation, and then introduced:

"I heard from mortal priests that you have a very powerful sword, so why not learn some sword-related abilities? Even if the sword is infinitely powerful, you can't fight with all your strength every time. And to be honest, Sword Dance·Spinning is a pretty handsome move~"

　　 The reason why Jenkins chose this ability is of course not that this ability is very handsome, but rather cheap. After only spending three sin coins, he successfully once again possessed a versatile combat ability.

　　 This ability is not like a mortal swordsman who has been practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years, relying on quickly wielding a long sword around his body and harvesting enemies around him like a windmill. Since it is the supernatural ability of the gifter, it is naturally able to do things that mortals can't do. In Jenkins' view, this ability is more like some kind of powerful ritual than fighting.

　　 More importantly, to use this ability, you don't need to hold a sword, as long as it is something similar, which includes a cane.

　　 Jenkins is still very satisfied with this transaction. He left a gem of time and a ring of greed. He did not buy any more power or information for future needs.

　　 The woman looked disappointed, but she also saw that Jenkins had made up her mind. Therefore, I decided to leave after the transaction, and before leaving, I did not forget to wish Jenkins's banquet smoothly.

　　 Watching the strong red aura representing women disappear suddenly on the edge of the garden, Jenkins felt relieved. He looked down at the statue of the servant lying on his stomach, and after confirming that there was no one on the left or right, he took out his cane and tapped it on the fence nearby.

　　 On the side of the originally flat fence, the green grass was like a tentacle. They climbed to the surface of the statue, and then slowly pulled the statue to the depths of the grass. Then there was a toothless cracking sound, and the plants controlled by Jenkins broke the statue into pieces and grind it into lime powder.

　　After solving all this, Jenkins pretended that nothing happened, and walked back to the fountain in the middle of the garden with chocolate. Hathaway didn't say a word about what happened just now.

There is still some time before the award ceremony begins. Jenkins has "hanging out" with Britney and Hathaway in turn, but the third female partner has no such "good luck". Hathaway and Britney are not generous. To really regard Miss Windsor as a companion.

In the rest of the time, people who didn’t know kept coming over to greet or talk with Jenkins. Jenkins stood on the side of a group of girls, keeping a distance from them, but let Miss Windsor help him introduce all the people who came over. Who.

　　 These people are all defiant figures in the capital city of Berdylan. Some heard some news in advance, and some saw the scene that happened just before the door of the villa in front of Cold Spring Palace.

　　People congratulate him on becoming a Viscount, and some will talk to him about some recent representatives of the Twelve Orthodox Church in Berduran. Among them, there were even guests from the North. They spoke a not fluent Fedexteri common language, talked to Jenkins about the scenery of Ruen, and complained about the bad weather in Bel Dylan in summer.

　　 Jenkins is not used to such social occasions, but as the old man once said, sooner or later he has to adapt to these.

　　 The Williams family did not show up until the servants of Cold Spring Palace informed Jenkins that the awarding ceremony and the promotion ceremony were about to begin. But Jenkins is not worried. Now Bel Dylan’s trouble is only [Blood Mosquito Curse]. The church and the royal family will send guards to protect the Williams family. At least until they return to Nolan, they will never encounter dangerous things. .

　　 said goodbye to the girls, followed the servant and saw Queen Isabella again on the second floor terrace of the building facing the courtyard. The ceremony was about to begin. She called Jenkins to her side, hoping that he would stand next to her, instead of waiting for his part to appear again.

　　 "Is this inappropriate?"

Jenkins meant something. Now the parliament and the nobles have not reached a unified opinion, and even he can feel that even the old man in front of him has not made up his mind to pass the crown to anyone. Jenkins does not want to stand in the field at this time. In the past, it will only attract unnecessary attention and danger, without any benefit.

　　 "When Douglas said that you were nothing like a young man who had never been in politics, I still didn't believe it. Now it seems that his feeling is correct."

　　 The old man said with a smile, and the old duke standing beside him was stern and without any expression.

　　 "So, has the Church of the Sages provided you with training in this area? No, it's only half a year, and it shouldn't be enough for you..."

She did not find a suitable adjective to express her views on Jenkins. Maybe many people can say what Jenkins just said, but from the tone and demeanor, she can distinguish his attitude from those young people who are just learning and have not experienced. People are completely different.

　　 "I learned it from Princess Dolores Stuart."

　　 He replied half-truth and half-false, this is not a complete lie. After all, Jenkin was only a poor student in the past. Although the amount of information he had contact with was much greater than that of ordinary people in this era, he had never been exposed to such occasions after all. It was in the city of Ruen for two months to help Dolores deal with official duties, combined with what he had learned and known, that allowed him to perform as he is now.

　　 "I've heard of the princess from the Stuart family. That's an amazing girl."

　　 She said, without mentioning Jenkins standing next to her for the ceremony. Jenkins felt something was wrong, guessing what the old man in front of him was thinking.

　　 The nominal protagonists of this banquet are naval officers and some soldiers who came from Nolan to participate in the ceremony. Probably in order to encourage the morale before the battle with Chey Yucca, the Cold Spring Palace banquet invited some reporters, and reporters are rarely allowed to step into the front door to conduct interviews.

　　 The closed building has been allowed to enter, and people rushed into the gate in small groups, talking excitedly about the next thing in the decorated hall.

　　 Soon, Her Majesty, supported by the servants, walked down from the second floor. As she walked down the stairs, she looked at the men and women standing in the hall. She smiled and nodded gracefully at the people. The people also applauded in unison to welcome the presence of Her Majesty the Queen.

　　 is a speech with little novelty first, encouraging people to be full of confidence in the first year of the war, and to praise the courage and strength of the army of the Kingdom of Fidiktelli.

　　 did not immediately talk about the victory of the Battle of the Broken Isles, but talked about the confrontation between the Chessland army on the battlefield of the Eastern Army. Even though there were some guests from the Kingdom of Chessland, Her Majesty still denounced the disaster caused by the other party in Nolan and claimed that this just war will be won.

She counted the small-scale border conflicts between the Kingdom of Chesland and her own country in recent years, and then from the wars and conflicts between the two countries after the collapse of the ancient Xicali Empire, and talked about the past ten years in trade and commerce. Contradiction.

　　 This aroused people's applause. Although the war was cruel, for most of the people present, the war was able to bring benefits. Soldiers who are really on the front line will not appear in the banquet. Even if people will think about them, they will think more about their own interests.

Finally, I finally talked about the battle of the Broken Isles. Although this battle has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Chesland, Her Majesty the Queen insisted on giving a speech to make people subconsciously believe that this was the number one achieved in the war with the Kingdom of Chesland. An important victory.

　　 She took the speech and stood in front of the copper-colored loudspeaker microphone of unknown principle connected to the steam pipe, and counted the brilliant victories of the navy since the beginning of the Battle of the Broken Isles. Of course, Jenkins knew that the two sides had reached an agreement to surrender before the war, so naturally they would not tell the public. The whole process of the battle described by Her Majesty the Queen is basically the actual naval battle, artillery bombardment and a small number of island landing operations between the two sides.

　　 At the end of the speech, she mentioned the commander-in-chief of the battle, the Marquis Mikhail. The man Jenkins had seen many times before, who looked more like a politician than a soldier, was already wearing uniforms with his colleagues and waiting by the side.

　　 "Look, that's Britney's father."

　　 Hathaway told Jenkins quietly, and then noticed that her father, Earl Hesha, was also standing there, so she immediately missed her eyes to prevent her father from looking at each other.

　　PS: Regarding the specific role of [Sword Dance·Spinning], I will explain it later when confronting the enemy.

Chapter 1589 Chapter 1564 Banquet (Part 2)

　　 Although a lot of credit has been made, this is not enough to make the Marquis Mihaier and his high-ranking officers promoted. They just accepted Her Majesty’s commendation and received various beautiful medals that are very honorable.

　　 As the officers came to the middle and lower-level officers in Berdylan City, most of them had a star or other symbol on their shoulders, and a few of them, about two or three, were fortunate to be given a knighthood. Jenkins noticed that most of these people were young people under the age of 30, thinking that this is the royal family's establishment of representatives, encouraging young officers on the front line to fight bravely and gain more merit to add honor to himself.

　　 The long process of awarding honors and commendations took an hour and a half, but people are not tired of it. The nobles looked at this group of upstarts, thinking about what they could get in it; the ladies covered half of their faces with beautiful feather fans, their eyes could not help looking at the young soldiers; the noble ladies were in groups, excited Talking about these people who have gained honor and reputation, and find their own pleasure; foreigners who have nothing to do with this time are also thinking about the impact of this war and these soldiers on themselves, and they try to remember it. I hope that this information can be useful for every face of Wang; even the servants who are standing there can find fun in it. Maybe they are not the same as tonight’s "stars" to receive such honors, but they see that they are of ordinary origin. Of men earn honor on their own, which is always exciting.

　　 Jenkins tried to control his urge to yawn, and thought that only himself and the cat were bored. He was listening to the speech enthusiastically at first, but soon became bored with everything. Although he still stood there looking at the stage with a smiling face, he was actually wandering away from the sky. After thinking about Dolores and Alexia arriving in Beldiran, I should take the initiative to invite them to my house. To live in.

"I don't know when they will reach Bel Dylan, maybe I should ask about it later... The day they met with Hathaway and Britney, it must be the most difficult time for me to come to this world. The day passed...the thirty-first day of the cycle is not counted."

　　 The cat on the shoulder has nothing to do, and knows that he can't run around and bark at this time, so he looks at the people around him curiously like a normal cat. There were many people attending the banquet, some of whom were acquaintances of Jenkins, but Jenkins did not notice.

The cat is more concerned about the human women around Jenkins. It hates the addition of new members in the family. Even if the childish Jenkins is now "grand" to find some "playmates" for himself, it still does not like these encroaching on his territory. Women.

　　 Suddenly hearing Her Majesty who was speaking mention his name, Jenkins immediately pulled back his thoughts and realized that it was finally his turn.

　　At this time, the award of honors has ended, and Her Majesty the Queen, who has begun a new round of speeches, mentioned the financial reforms carried out by the kingdom since the beginning of this year. This is closely related to most people present, so everyone sounds serious.

　　 It is now in the second half of May. After half a year, the reorganization of the National Bank and the New Deal in the financial and fiscal sectors have basically been completed or are about to be launched. Her Majesty the Queen talked about encouraging everyone to invest in new financial industries and innovative and creative industrial factories, and this is how the Fabry scam was mentioned at the end.

　　Because most people know that there is another protagonist tonight, they are not surprised that this is not a blunt change of topic. Seeing that it was almost his turn, Jenkins seized the time to tidy up the neckline, Britney straightened out his hair behind him, and Hathaway nervously reminded Jenkins that the cuff buttons should be buttoned.

　　 Even Miss Windsor slapped Jenkins's hem carefully to smooth the wrinkles. Jenkins thanked his female companions, then held his breath for a few seconds, and finally heard this voice:

　　 "...So I decided to commend Baron Jenkins R. Williams for his outstanding contributions to the kingdom, tonight I will grant him the title of Viscount..."

　　 Outbursts of applause sounded in my ears, Britney gave Jenkins a light push, Jenkins walked out of the crowd, and then turned back to thank the guests. He bypassed the crowd to the side stairs of the high platform at the front of the hall, and then climbed up the stairs to come to Her Majesty's side.

　　 Behind the two is a huge spiral staircase leading to the second floor, and a huge oil painting of an earlier king hangs on the wall. This oil painting is a new work, and the time of completion is no more than three months. It is evidence that after Jenkins stepped onto the stage and looked at him and the people behind him, they found that the face on the oil painting was faintly similar to Jenkins.

　　 Not only one person noticed this, and whispers came from the audience. But this is also the original plan of Her Majesty the Queen. Before the official announcement, if people can obtain the truth through their own "discovery", then this news will not cause greater waves.

　　 Not paying attention to the voices in the audience, Jenkins knelt on one knee in front of Queen Isabella, officially from Baron Williams to Viscount Williams. Her Majesty also mentioned that she intends to give Jenkins a small fief near Nolan, but has not yet found a suitable location. But this matter has been decided, and soon Jenkins will have a good prefix before his name.

　　 "It just so happens that tonight is such a grand event, everyone in Berduran can come here to participate, I have a little news to tell you."

　　 is finally about to enter the topic, Jenkins did not step down after accepting the title, but stood by Her Majesty's side. She put her hand on Jenkins's shoulder and patted twice, then said to the people in the audience:

　　 "I suddenly discovered recently that the Middleton family is not without direct blood."

　　 This sentence is full of air, which is the opposite of the slow, low, old voice that was in the speech just now.

　　 There was an uproar under the stage, and under the dim light of the chandelier and the gas lamp on the wall, the men and women had already spoken out politely. Even if some people know the most important thing tonight in advance, most of them don't know the truth.

　　 At this time, the door behind the crowd was suddenly opened, and the warm wind blowing in from the courtyard reminded everyone to look out.

　　Extending from the gate of Cold Spring Palace to the red carpet inside the building, three men in different styles of black formal wear are walking towards them under the guidance of the servants.

　　PS: In fact, if I follow the way of writing a mindless and cool text, I should arrange in advance for the villain who does not look down on Jenkins, or the idiot who covets the beautiful girls. But I can't write such a disgusting plot, I myself can't get used to this kind of routine.

　　 Ask for votes for everything.

Chapter 1590: The Three Brothers (Part 1)

　　This way of going on stage is indeed different. The crowd watching the ceremony in the hall spontaneously gave up the road in the middle, allowing the men of the Williams family to walk in through the door.

　　 Jenkins on stage watched the body's father and brothers gradually approach, and saw the relief on Robert's face, the tension on Newman's face, and the excitement on John's face. He blinked at Robert. Robert had already seen his second son standing on the high platform.

　　 He nodded slightly at Jenkins, and then brought his children to the queen of this country.

　　 "Last spring, when I was sorting out the library of Cold Spring Palace, I found a personal letter from King Pesola II, and then discovered that the royal family had a bloodline that was shed outside..."

　　 This is the elegant name for "illegitimate child".

"I entrusted a professional to conduct an investigation, and finally found that the bloodline that was left out that year has always had offspring. Today, there are four direct males among the descendants of Bissola II. Yes, this is the one next to me. Four gentlemen. I don’t think you will question whether this is true. Only from the appearance, people with common sense know that I am definitely not old and confused."

　　 She said with a smile, and then asked the four of the Williamt family to come to her side.

　　 Jenkins turned his head to look at the people below with different faces, and there was almost noisy in the hall. He sighed in his heart and stood with the father and brothers of this body.

"I think now is a very suitable opportunity. I want to announce to everyone that these four gentlemen with the surname Williams are actually descendants of the Middleton family. I will ask Douglas Jero in the near future. The Duke of Germany will hand over the investigation report to those who have doubts about it."

　　 is a re-reading sentence, and it threatens people not to do more than an announcement.

"At the same time, four new names will be added to the family tree of the Middleton family. This is something that hasn't been for a long time. I am very happy to be able to see a new descendant of the family before I was called away by the gods. I know that some time ago, people had a lot of impolite discussions about the extinction of the royal family."

　　 Her Majesty the Queen tries to keep the volume as high as possible to suppress the discussion of the people below, which is somewhat difficult for people her age.

"But these worries are superfluous. The glorious Middleton family still has reliable descendants. It is the gods who are blessing Middleton, and the gods are watching the Kingdom of Fedictelli. No foreigner will inherit us. Throne..."
