Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 Moonlight still cannot shine on chocolate, but it likes shadows and darkness. Although Jenkins is not dark, chocolate also likes him. By Jenkins's side, the one who really owns the dark soul is another person, another person who may have an impact on the cat's life.

　　 The Marquis of Mihaier and Earl Hesha left soon, and they knew that the young people would still enjoy the banquet. Jenkins turned around and wanted to walk back to Hathaway and the others, but at this moment he heard someone stop him.

　　 "Viscount William~"

　　 Someone yelled like this, and Jenkins turned his head and saw a Chessland-looking foreigner approaching him. This is no stranger. I saw him yesterday during the city hall riots. This is the messenger who delivers the "message of peace" to the King of Chessland, and is responsible for bringing the message of the proud Taqvin to Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Fedictelli.

　　He appears here, it means that the information has been brought, and the interception of some opposition organizations in the Kingdom of Chessland has completely failed. The messenger is safe now, and even if he is killed, there is no value anymore.

　　 "Viscount Williams, oh, please wait a moment."

　　 The man walked quickly to Jenkins and bowed deeply:

　　 "Thank you, thank you for saving me yesterday."

　　 Yesterday Jenkins can choose to point out his position directly in the crowd, so that there will be no later things.

　　 "This is a trivial matter. I think anyone with a sense of justice will do it."

　　 Jenkins, who has immortality, said so.

　　 "No, I think it's rare to meet someone with such a fearless and courageous character now. Thank you very much. I am just a small person. It is an honor to be helped by someone like you."

　　 When the messenger went to Beldiran, he was determined to die. He knew what mission he was carrying, so he had already thought about the tragic ending he might encounter. Being able to complete the task smoothly now is considered to be the best of all possibilities, so I am extremely excited at this time.

　　 Jenkins was also happy for this man who had just completed the difficult task, so he asked him where he wanted to go next. The messenger told Jenkins that his mission had been completed, and now that he was going back to Cheslan, he would inevitably be chased by some anger and anger, so he decided to stay in the Kingdom of Fidictle for the time being. He had no family anyway.

　　 "I plan to go to Nolan on the west coast. I heard that it is a nice city, and I have friends there, friends who I knew before."

　　 He said vaguely, implying that there are some things that cannot be mentioned.

　　 So Jenkins wished him a smooth journey, and then was a little curious. After the messenger gave the message of the proud Takov to Queen Isabella, what would happen to the next two kings. I thought the messenger would not know, but he didn't expect that he immediately gave Jenkins the answer:

　　 "Your Majesty will bring members of the royal family to visit Berduran in the near future."

　　 He showed respect for the king of Cheslan, the arrogant Takov.

"This is a decision that has already been made. Even if I did not deliver the letter, Your Majesty will visit. I think tomorrow's newspaper will publish the news of Your Majesty's visit. Oh, of course, your news will definitely be on the front page. After all, For this country, this is the real big thing."

　　The messenger is a believer of the righteous **** [God of War Lord]. Because this righteous **** and the doctrine of the sage partly conflict, there are hardly any such believers around Jenkins. The messenger told Jenkins that after he came to Beldiran to complete the task, he originally planned to seek shelter from the church of the God of War, but later discovered that there was no church of God of War in the area. He originally thought that a big city like Beldiran would definitely have it. Of the Chapel of the God of War. This is Cheslan’s tradition, and the belief in God of War is very common in southern countries.

　　 "Recently, the Twelve Orthodox Churches have sent representatives to Berduran. You may be able to find their delegation so that you don't have to go to Nolan to be with your friends."

　　 Jenkins suggested.

　　 "I don't think it is necessary. I am not a very devout believer. If I trouble the church for my own safety, it will make my conscience uneasy."

　　 said the messenger, thanked Jenkins again and said goodbye. He did not stay longer at the banquet, but left the Cold Spring Palace straight away. Here, it's not suitable for people like him.

　　 Early on Sunday morning, Jenkins, who was sitting between Hathaway and Britney at the table in Rosalia Hotel, holding a newspaper, saw a photo of his family and Queen Isabella on the front page.

　　 He smiled and pointed out to Britney that the cat in the photo happened to be hidden in the shadow for some reason, making the image of chocolate look like a strange stain. Britney looked at the photos in the newspaper with interest, and then sighed that Jenkins and Robert looked the most alike among the three Williams brothers.

　　 Soon after meeting with Chesland’s messenger last night, Robert took Newman and John to Jenkins, and therefore met Hathaway and Britney. I don't know what the old man and Robert mentioned, he seems to know the relationship between Jenkins and these two girls very well.

　　 But Robert didn't talk about sensitive topics last night. He just patted Jenkins on the shoulder and told the blond and red-haired girl some interesting things about the original owner when he was a child. Then Hathaway and Britney were invited back to Nolan to be a guest at Privet Road's home.

　　 After all, the family now lives in a hotel, which is not a formal place to "see the parents". Moreover, Mary, the mother of the three Jenkins brothers, values ​​the future "Mrs. Williams" as a guest at home. Robert believes that now his wife should first accept the fact that her husband and children are members of the royal family. Jenkins’s “friends” come to the house have a lower priority and can be pushed back a little bit.

　　 The life of the Williams family, because of last night’s banquet, will definitely change dramatically in the foreseeable future. The newspaper claimed that Her Majesty the Queen had invited them to move to Cold Spring Palace last night. But according to Jenkins' understanding, Queen Isabella did not mention this at all, and the Williams family has no plans to relocate from Nolan to Berdyland for the time being.

　　 Even if you want to move, you have to wait until the dust on the succession to the throne is settled. Anyway, it will definitely not be now. The Williams family hasn't lost their heads because of this incident.

　　 It seemed that all the details of last night’s banquet spread throughout the city overnight. The other ladies in the tour group sitting at the long table with Jenkins knew about it all at once. They maintained the same performance as the previous days, but Jenkins' ears could hear their name being mentioned frequently in those whispers.

　　 He doesn't care about this, he only cares about the "other heirs" mentioned in the headlines. Before the Williams family appeared, the heirs to the throne did exist despite their weak blood relationship. The few people mentioned now, including Miss Windsor, have not completely lost their opportunity.

　　 Even the foreigner Horace Luther, who was driven away under the eyes of the public yesterday, still has the right to inherit legally. These people will definitely be regulars of newspapers for a period of time in the future. Although public opinion generally believes that the queen has retrieved the descendants of the four illegitimate children in order to find successors from them, Jenkins always feels that the old man is very thoughtful. , The inner thoughts are definitely not that simple.

Chapter 1593 Chapter 1568

　　 reported news about the descendants of the royal family, which took up two full pages of the newspaper. Jenkins was eating while reading the newspaper, and then found that there was less food on his plate. When he looked down, he saw that his cat was staring at the tablecloth with his head down, as if suddenly had a keen interest in the brown spots on the tablecloth.

　　 "Chocolate, you still have soup on your face."

　　 Jenkins said.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat stared at Jenkins with big innocent eyes. This trick Jenkins has already used once, and it will not be fooled again. Of course, even if chocolate does not admit it, Jenkins is sure that it must be a cat.

News from the third edition of the newspaper has been domestic and international news. Just as Cheslan’s messenger predicted yesterday, the news that foreign kings will visit Berduran was listed directly behind the news related to the royal family. As a result, today's Bel Dylan Morning News is twice as thick as yesterday's.

　　 It is not just Takov, the proud man of the Kingdom of Chessland, but the newspaper also mentioned that there will be a delegation led by the royal family in the Kingdom of Hampavo to visit Berdiran in the near future.

　　 There is no mention in the news which Stuart will visit, so people must not guess that the dying king directly brought out all the children who are qualified to aspire to the throne this time.

　　 After the dinner last night ended and the three ladies returned to their residences, Jenkins went to see Alexia. He originally wanted to say something about tonight and asked Alexia for his opinion. Unexpectedly, when she saw the short lady, she was standing on the deck of the steamship and watching the stars.

　　 Alexia has great enthusiasm for this magical flying tool. After seeing Jenkins, he didn't ask about his recent situation, but talked about the trip with some excitement.

　　 King Salhi II unexpectedly took out a large sum of gold, directly rented an airship from the [Church of Creation and Machinery], and took his children and the visiting group to Beldiran. This is something that Jenkins could not even think of. He originally thought it was a royal train. After all, the price of the airship was not cheap.

　　 If there is no accident like the forced landing in Blacktown, the Northland delegation will be able to land in Bel Dylan in about three or four days. Alexia asked Jenkins to prepare well, their princess, but very much looking forward to being able to walk the streets of Berdylan under the leadership of Jenkins and enjoy the exotic city style... Isn’t Alexia I think her purpose is really so simple.

　　 "At this time, the kings of the three kingdoms have gathered in Berdyran. I remember that since the fall of the ancient Xicali Empire, the meeting of the three kings has never happened."

　　 Although it is only in the third edition, in fact, compared to the return of the descendants of the royal family, the visit of foreign kings is the thing that affects the citizens the most. The mere safety issues and the repair of the city’s main roads will be enough for people to stay busy for a while.

　　 This incident will also affect Jenkins. At the sensitive moment of the king’s election, the visit of a foreign king will inevitably add variables to the already complicated situation.

　　 As for whether this is good or bad, it’s still hard to say. It’s how things are now, and it is estimated that no one can predict what will happen next.

　　 Continue to scroll backwards, and then there is no big news like royal descendants or foreign visiting groups. Jenkins watched the newspaper unhurriedly and ate breakfast, thinking about going to the church for a while to meet with Miss Cape, and then making the final preparations before entering the maze.

　　 suddenly saw a familiar face in the newspaper, and then realized that it was the messenger from the Kingdom of Chessland I saw last night.

　　 Jenkins still doesn't know his name, and he will know his name when he continues to read it, or the name currently used is Mike Madison. He appeared in the newspaper with a group of men because they were all found sleeping naked in a public cemetery on the outskirts of the city this morning.

　　 The guards of the cemetery did not notice any strange movement last night, and the fence of the cemetery could not find any traces of such a group of people climbing over. This group of people all claim that they don't know anything. The only thing they have in common is that they walked the night on the road next to the cemetery last night, and when they became conscious, they were already surrounded by the police and the grave guard.

　　 They were arrested by the police, but they were soon sent to the [Death and End Church] in the suburbs. Such things are generally characterized as harassing the dead and destroying urban public facilities, and the church of the **** of death will replace the police to punish them.

“I’m afraid it’s a strange incident, or a foreign gifter who loves performance art has recently come to Bel Dylan. The church took them away to understand the truth of the matter. I’m very curious about what happened. ."

　　 He thinks it has nothing to do with him, he is curious but he will not explore too much. But when I arrived at the church an hour later, I realized that this incident was actually related to the [Curse of the Blood Mosquito].

It is not that the group of people sleeping naked in the cemetery was infected with the blood mosquito curse, but one of them was identified as missing because of attending the banquet of the Earl of Paramount last week. The cursed.

　　 But now he appeared grandiosely and was quickly identified. When the church asked him about his schedule in the last week, the poor guy thought for a while, then Qiqiao bleeds and fell into a coma on the spot. He hasn't woken up yet.

　　 This incident has added new variables to the plan that has been made. The church believes that this is a new change in the inside of the lock, which makes the cursed person who should have been in it run outside. Therefore, Jenkins and Miss Capet’s plan to meet the countess with three items was temporarily pushed back for three hours. Now the joint investigation team formed by the Twelve Orthodox Churches has begun to investigate.

　　 I can see that Miss Capet was a little nervous. Before the action started, she and Jenkins stayed outside the Manor of the Earl of Paramount, ready to leave at any time. After the two met, she first congratulated the big news yesterday, that is, the relationship between the Jenkins family and the royal family, and then fell into worry about entering the mysterious operation.

　　 Jenkins grabbed his cat and sat on the folding chair beside Miss Cape. He stared at the tea without a trace for a while, and decided to say something to help Miss Cape overcome her nervousness, so he said abruptly:

　　 "Actually..."

　　 He did not hesitate this time, but directly took out the pendant with two-thirds of the world tree seeds. Miss Capet was puzzled for a few seconds, and then realized that the black and metallic object in front of her was so familiar.

Chapter 1594 The first thousand five hundred and sixty-nine

　　 Miss Capet took a deep breath, put her hand into the neckline, and quickly took out something similar, which was the last third of the world tree seed.

　　 Jenkins did not hesitate to tell the truth about the incident this time, not because he was worried that the two would be gone forever, and the truth would be unknown. Rather, she thought that she should find a time to distract Miss Capet, otherwise she would become more and more nervous.

　　 Now it seems that he really succeeded.

"This matter shouldn't have been told by me. [The Church of All Things and Nature] obviously knows the truth, otherwise you won't be transferred to Berduran at this time. Yes, this is a token of family heritage. Great-grandfather divided it into three. My father Robert Williams had the piece of the youngest son. The second brother had no descendants. I found them in the Shire earlier this year. That part."

What he wanted to express is self-evident. Miss Capet, who just had breakfast and worries about afternoon affairs with a teacup, did not expect to know at this moment what she hasn’t gotten in twenty years. the truth.

　　 Her thoughts were close to stagnation, and there were only two large and one small pieces of metal in her eyes, or something similar to metal.

"I......"

It took a long time for 　　 to utter a word from his mouth, but he couldn't find the meaning he wanted to express.

　　 "Yes, in terms of blood relationship, you should be my distant cousin." (Note)

　　 The two are not the same grandfather but the same great-grandfather, so according to Jenkin’s inherent way of thinking, they should be regarded as distant relatives.

"I think the church transferred you to Bel Dylan because it knows your ancestry. I don’t know why they haven’t announced it yet, but I think it should have happened in the past two weeks. After all, last night’s banquet......"

　　 He did not go on, Miss Capet understood what he meant. If the church deliberately uses her identity and lineage to also compete for the throne of the Kingdom of Fidictle, then her identity will not be concealed for longer, but will find a suitable time to expose it.

　　 Jenkins felt that his goal had been achieved, and Miss Capet didn't seem to be nervous at all because of the subsequent actions. But Miss Capet felt like she was dreaming at this time, and she couldn't believe the news that she had just received.

　　 "I... sorry, I want to be quiet by myself."

　　 She grabbed her blonde hair and said, Jenkins nodded, knowing her mood at this time:

"I'm sorry that this matter has been hidden from you for so long. I'm really sorry. But anyway, our family is also your closest blood relative, although before the [Church of Everything and Nature] decided to expose this matter, your position Very subtle, but I think both father and mother will be happy to know that we still have a relative."

　　 When he finished speaking, he stood up and left the room, leaving Miss Cape sitting there alone. Jenkins didn't know whether he was right or wrong to tell her in advance, but since he had already said it, he didn't regret it. It's just that such a simple and kind lady is also involved in the troublesome throne dispute, and there is some conscience in her heart.

　　 So he planned to find something for himself to pass the boring time.

　　 In order to ensure that there is no possibility for the cursed person in the mystery to run out of the encirclement, the outside of the Manor of Earl of Paramount has been surrounded by the outer circle of the twelve orthodox church.

　　 Orthodox church gifters from all over the world have set up temporary bases outside the manor, making it a bit like a front line of war.

　　 There are many empty houses. Jenkins used the excuse to attend the banquet last night and went back to rest late. He borrowed a room for a nap, then left a phantom and then took the cat to leave here, and went straight to the suburban cemetery mentioned in the newspaper.

　　 He changed his image with the cat on the way, so when he came near the cemetery, he didn't hide his whereabouts but walked freely. I probably think that there are no clues in the cemetery. At this time, there are not too many church gifts here, but there are still many police officers who are still looking for evidence in the blockade.

　　 Jenkins did not enter the cemetery rashly, but observed for a while nearby to confirm the location of the spiritual light in the cemetery, and then pretended to worship a friend and entered there.

　　Because the scene is still under lockdown, he cannot get close to where he found the group of naked men this morning. But his purpose was not there. He walked along the gravel-paved path in the cemetery and entered the crypt on the east side of the park under the leadership of the tombkeeper.

　　 There are some unclaimed ashes stored here, so Jenkins can be allowed in without the name of his friend.

　　 "You can look for it yourself slowly, there are corpses and relics found next to the urn."

　　 said the old grave guard, and did not follow Jenkins into the tomb:

　　 "Twenty minutes for you. If you can't find it, you must leave. You have seen the police there. If you still want to find it, you will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

　　 Jenkins thanked the old tomb guard, and then took the old tomb guard's kerosene lamp into the dark corridor of the tomb. Although it was only storing ashes instead of corpses, there was still a cold stench in the ground. Jenkins did not enter the unknown ashes storage area of ​​the last two months, but continued along the corridor of the catacomb, but stopped before going too far.

　　 On his left hand, a simple wooden sign hung on the uneven mud wall, which showed that this was the ashes and remains of the unnamed deceased in Berdiran from March to May last spring.

　　 Emmanuel is here.

　　 The intensity of that aura is not considered a numbered item, at most it is only a slightly stronger spell or ritual base, so Jenkins will come directly.

　　 He stuffed the cat with his shoulder tipped back into his pocket, then grabbed his cane from the air, and walked into the tomb.

　　The tomb is square, with a large area, but the style is unremarkable. Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, wooden boxes with consistent patterns are placed on concave platforms on the walls. Below each wooden box is a slightly larger slender platform, which is filled with messy relics. Jenkins saw an umbrella, a doll, a pipe, and only one black rain boot. The remains of these unnamed deceased persons will be stored for three years according to regulations, after which they will be disposed of by the cemetery guards.

　　 Jenkins stared at the doll for a long time, then stretched out his cane and tapped on the doll. It immediately trembles unnaturally, which behaves like a human being.

　　 In Jenkins' eyes, the inspiration comes from this doll with an ugly pink hat, and a close observation can reveal that there is a soul inside. But it's a pity that even if he gives life to the doll, he can't make a dead thing alive, just make it shake a few times in a short time.

　　 "[Student inspiration knows]."

　　 As long as you have a soul, you can be counted as a creature. Jenkins retracted his cane and put his fingers on the head of the somewhat worn doll. A few seconds later, a very faint fragment of speech was felt by him:

　　 "Be careful behind you."

"Ok?"

　　 Jenkins frowned and turned his head, and saw a layer of damp white mist floating in the tomb behind him. While this white mist covered the field of vision, it also covered the evil spirits that were constantly floating out of the urn. Bai Mist is an extraordinary talent of evil spirits, but it is the first time that Jenkins has seen so many evil spirits at the same time.

　　 Although it is an evil spirit, it does not pose much threat to Jenkins itself. It's just that there are some Tombkeepers of the Orthodox Church on the ground. Whether they use the skeleton sword or the magic of the sage, they are at risk of being perceived by them.

　　 But thinking of the brand new abilities he gained last night, Jenkins retracted his cane and grabbed the holy sword. It did not activate its own characteristics, but just treated it as an ordinary weapon, holding the sword in his right hand, and quickly drew two arc-shaped sword marks on the soil on the left and right sides in front of him.

　　 "Sword Dance~"

　　He held the sword flower in his arms and slammed the sword into the dirt directly in front of him:

　　 "Spin!"

　　 The two arc-shaped sword marks drawn by him were bright, and as the sword blade pierced into the soil, the sword marks seemed to be alive, spinning fast on the ground. As the speed increases, the two sword marks are connected end to end, forming a complete bright white circle around Jenkins.

After the 　　 sword mark circle was closed, the area continued to increase and expanded to the entire tomb. When it expanded, it didn't cause any harm to the environment and the spirit body it encountered, but when it expanded to its limit and suddenly retracted inward, the rotating sword marks cut all matter and non-material in the ring. Except for Jenkins itself, the spirit body and mist at the same height in the tomb are neatly divided into two.

　　 This is not a physical division, but a conceptual division. The evil spirits were defeated, and although the mist they created could not dissipate in a short time, they could no longer be brought together, creating a blank area of ​​mist in the upper and lower spaces.
