Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 In the morning, he had dinner with the girls at home and set off. The place where Sarhi II stayed was far away from St. George Street near the quay area, so he chose to take a carriage.

　　 St. George Street is a residential block, carriages are not allowed to park in the block, but generally there will be empty carriages waiting for customers at intersections. After leaving the house, I greeted Mr. Goodman, the neighbor who was about to go to work, and the latter responded somewhat cautiously.

　　 Then, as soon as he looked up, he saw the carriage parked at a distant crossroad. After walking quickly over, he found that something was wrong with the coachman. Wearing a hat to unfold a newspaper, the driver who waits leisurely is of course an ordinary person, but from the perspective of his temperament, he seems to be of military background.

　　 Jenkins raised his hand and touched the cat on his shoulder, and his pace slowed down.

　　 "Mr. William, the master is waiting for you."

　　 The driver heard Jenkins' footsteps slow down, so he put down the newspaper and said. He looks ordinary and doesn't look special, but his accent is quite strange, which is the strange stiffness that foreigners can only have when speaking in Fedictelli's language.

　　 "Your master?"

　　 Jenkins asked strangely, tilting his head and looking at the carriage. The carriage was also an ordinary person, but there was a faint yellow aura in his heart. If it is not wearing the self-defense items handled by the gifter, then it is cursed.

　　 "Who is your master?"

　　 He stopped and asked. The driver did not answer, and a small gap was opened in the car door. Through the gap, Jenkins saw the King of the Southern Kingdom, the proud Takov, who had only seen a few sides.

　　 "Why do kings like to wait for someone like this?"

　　 Thinking in his heart, he nodded and stepped into the carriage. Jenkins has nothing to do with the princesses of the Southland, so there is no worry in his heart when he gets on the carriage.

　　 "Good day, Your Majesty Tucker."

　　 "Good day, Viscount Williams."

　　 After sitting down, while saying hello, Jenkins observed the other's face. The proud Takov is the youngest of the three kings, and he is not even forty years old this year. About twenty years ago, the former king of the Southern Kingdom was assassinated because of a scandal. Tuckwen, who was only 17 years old at the time, hurriedly succeeded, which caused the king's power to be gradually emptied and planted the bane.

　　 This is a person who looks gentle, very shrewd and determined. He is tall and thin and dressed in summer singles. Only at this time the king was pale, with sweat along his side, and it seemed that the problem was bigger than that of the soon-to-be-destined King Salhi II.

Chapter 1690 The King and the Curse

　　 "Are you... okay? Do you need to see a doctor?"

　　 Jenkins in the carriage sat down, worried that if the other party suddenly died in front of him, he would be justified and unclear.

　　 "Nothing, just some small problems."

　　 Takwen said, his Fedicteli is very good. Ordering the coachman to start, he didn't use Jenkins' question, he took Jenkins's hand impolitely and said:

　　 "Mr. William, I take the liberty to disturb you so early. Please don't tell anyone about our meeting today."

　　Speaking kindly and approachable, the king gave Jenkins a good impression.

　　 "Of course, but what do you want?"

　　 "Mr. William, I know it's a bit abrupt to say this, but..."

　　 He spoke very kindly when facing Jenkins, which did not match his title of "Proud Man" at all. Compared to the powerful king, one of the three human kingdoms, he is more like a kind neighbor living next door.

　　 "Please help me, Mr. Williams."

　　 "What? Sorry, do you need me to see a doctor, but I am not a doctor."

　　 Although surprised but calm on the surface, he and the king of the southern kingdom are not acquaintances. It makes no sense to talk about this kind of thing in the first private meeting. Moreover, Jenkins is not a doctor, and according to the Tower Agreement, he cannot use extraordinary abilities to treat any king.

　　 "No, it's not illness, it's something else."

　　 Then he went to open his clothes. Jenkins instinctively covered his cat's eyes, and he also hid back for a while, and then saw a strange blue-purple pattern on Tucker's chest.

　　 "This is... a tattoo?"

　　 he asked hesitantly.

　　 "No, it's a curse."

　　Takov looked very frustrated:

"On the second day after the fleet departed from Eldron, this pattern appeared little by little, and it took shape the night before arriving at Nolan. I could feel it was absorbing my life. Weak, yes, weak."

　　 This sentence is true. Just by looking at the face of Tu Kewen, he knows that his health is absolutely worrying.

　　 "Oh, this is terrible."

　　 Jenkins exclaimed:

"I have always stayed away from the occult, but I believe that the power of the gods is real. Since you think this is a curse... Just treat it as a curse, why not go to church for help? In your capacity I think it’s not difficult, and the Twelve Orthodox Churches have recently sent representatives to Nolan. I heard that the Nature Church has quite a few very capable doctors."

　　 The suggestions he gave are quite satisfactory and conform to the basic setting of his character.

　　 "No, I can't get close to any clergy, or even the church. The curse is restricting me and restricting my contact with the power of the gods."

　　 The tall and thin middle-aged man clutched his chest and said, he looked quite uncomfortable:

"I know what you mean, Viscount William. But the occult really exists, and someone can control it. I have tried to ask the church for help, but every letter I send through the servants is missing. Besides, this kind of thing cannot be solved by writing a letter."

　　 His symptoms look like angina, but he speaks normally and there is no sign of fainting. It only lasted for less than ten seconds, then he let go of the hand covering his chest, and said to Jenkins with sweat on his face:

"I must find a non-cleric who has enough influence on the church to help me deliver letters to the church, and this person must be reliable enough. You are the best person I know, and you are willing to help a deceased friend handle the inheritance , Enough to prove your loyalty and integrity."

　　 said, and took out a letter from under the cushion next to him. The letter seemed to have been rubbed once, and the overall appearance was horrible:

　　 "Please send this letter to the church for me."

　　 He looked at Jenkins with a look full of eagerness. Jenkins was a little uncomfortable with this look. He moved anxiously and then took the letter:

　　 "No problem, it's just a small matter."

　　As of now, everything the king of the southern kingdom said is true, including that there is no trusted person around him. This allowed Jenkins to learn more about the political situation in the southern kingdom and the huge problems faced by the southern royal family. I thought that the Kingdom of Hampawo in the north and its own country were already messed up enough. I didn't expect even more incredible things to happen in the Southern Congress-the king was cursed by the transcendent, but he could only find other royal family members to ask the church for help.

　　 If it were not for a lie clergy as a guarantee, Jenkins probably wouldn't believe the words of this dreary middle-aged king. Even if it is now confirmed that this is true, he still suspects that there is something wrong with it.

　　 "Actually, I am still very curious."

　　 Because the carriage did not stop, the conversation can continue:

"Why did you come to me? From my point of view, even if you are surrounded by betrayals and conspiracies, there should be at least one or two trustworthy people? There should be at least one in your kingdom. Two nobles you can trust, right?"

People in this era have a high level of recognition for the so-called "royal blood". Although the proud Takov was emptied, he was indeed a member of the royal family who inherited the throne through legal procedures. He was not a stunned king, nor did he do anything angry or grieving. , It is impossible for anyone around to be trusted.

"If I was in China, I would certainly be able to find those loyal people, but this visit to Fidcicles was originally opposed by the group of people in China. As an exchange for me to come here, most of the people around me They are all spies who have been inserted in, and the very few loyal people around them are all being watched. You must not have imagined, Mr. Williams, what the price I paid to be able to come out to see you this morning."

　　 sounds reasonable, but Jenkins, who has never believed in strangers, is still skeptical. Of course the middle-aged king guessed what he thought, so he continued:

"I must not only find the person who delivers the letter for me, but also ensure that the person who delivers the letter can safely deliver the letter to the church. This person must have enough weight, but not too heavy to be stared at by everyone, and he has enough local The means of self-protection will not be murdered at the entrance of the church. To be honest, I don’t know much about this city on the west coast of the mainland. The best option I can think of in a hurry is you."

　　 After speaking, he covered his mouth with a white silk handkerchief and coughed, but fortunately, there was no blood on the handkerchief after coughing.

　　 "I am not asking you for help for no reason, Viscount Williams, you will get my friendship and get the ‘gift’ you need most now."

Chapter 1691 Chapter 1664 Church Life

　　 The weak king did not give Jenkins a chance to speak, and directly gave the conditions:

"I can tell you very seriously that I will put forward the idea of ​​a formal truce between the two countries at the Three Kings meeting tomorrow. If this is successful, it will be a powerful blow to those'betrayers' in Chesland. Even if the price of the truce is cut. Silan wants to make compensation, and I can also bring huge political capital back home. If I can live by then, Cheslan will no longer have voices against the king. And I will fully support you to become Fidi Ketli The king. This is my promise as the king of Cheslan, the last descendant of the Arecio family."

　　 Jenkins sent the letter just with a small effort. Seeing that the other party had said it to this level, he had no reason to refuse. So he said some comforting words and promised to send the letter as soon as possible. The young king smiled relievedly, his pale complexion seemed to improve:

　　 "I will keep my promise."

　　 He said so.

　　The carriage finally stopped in front of the old father's antique shop. Probably the coachman and his owner thought that Jenkins was going to work so early. Now that he arrived at the door of the antique shop, Jenkins naturally wanted to go in and say hello to his father, who was startled by Jenkins's appearance so early:

　　 "Did something happen again?"

　　 asked the old man suspiciously, he wanted to grab something from the counter.

　　 "Nothing happened, this is a peaceful morning."

　　 Jenkins said, and looked at Dad suspiciously:

　　 "What are you doing with such a big reaction?"

"Obviously, I have discussed with Bevanna at the church yesterday. You don’t need to go to the antique shop every day until the talks with the lie believers are completed. You can open it when you are fine. But we just said that you can ask for leave at any time. I ran here early in the morning, even earlier than the original work time. Of course I would think that something happened again...or else, you were finally kicked out by the girls at home. ?"

　　 Dad made a joke, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the newspaper on the counter again, and did not forget to ask:

　　 "So you came here so early, shouldn't you just say good morning to me?"

　　 Jenkins didn't know how to explain why he was here this morning, so he took out the letter and told his father about the conversation. Of course the arrogant Takov didn't want this matter to be known by irrelevant people, but Jenkins didn't care what the king of the southern kingdom would think, and he really didn't know how to explain that he would come to the antique shop so early.

　　 "Well, I didn't expect it to be like this in Chesland, and I didn't expect that the arrogant man came to Nolan really for peace."

　　He handed the letter to Jenkins:

　　 "Then send the letter quickly, I hope you don't run around, it's best to help Bevana in church all day long. Now, Nolan is getting messy."

　　 I don't know if it is the king of Chesland who is really concealed when he travels, or the city is blessing Jenkins. No one rushed out to shoot Jenkins until the letter was handed over to Miss Bevanna.

Miss Bevana opened the letter and glanced at it, and she probably understood what had happened. Although the tower agreement stipulates that the royal families of various countries cannot use extraordinary power to continue their lives, but as ordinary citizens to the church to request the removal of the curse, the church can still help-now It is the end of the epoch, as long as it is not a matter of principle, everyone can understand it if it is modified.

　　 Although the Church of the Sage also has a way to restrain the curse, Tuckwen's letter pointed out that he should be rescued by the doctor of the Church of Nature. Therefore, Miss Bevanna did not take this troublesome matter to the church, but directly asked Captain Bincy to forward the letter to the hands of the Nature Church.

　　 She also told Jenkins about one thing:

　　 "Remember the shooting at the pier that day?"

　　 "Victorum was not killed by me!"

　　 Jenkins said immediately, thinking that the church was suspicious of him like the police.

　　 "Victorum? Who is that?"

　　 Miss Bevanna said suspiciously that she did not know the name of the man who was injured at the time. Seeing that Jenkins was stunned while holding the cat, he skipped this topic:

"The church found the murderer through divination and punished him. This incident not only involves Fidi Ketli, but also the people in Chessland who are planning. Daddy should have told you about this, but we are again The investigation revealed that this incident was related to the Quick family."

　　 "Quick family, isn't it gone?"

　　 Little Quick is the chief culprit in planning a serial murder when Jenkins and the girls traveled in winter. As the only son of the family, he died in the snowy mountain, making Old Quirk frantically use the power of a trick to take revenge on Jenkins, and summoned the coachman to get A-04-1-6671 [Uninvited Guest at Night] to Jenkins' doorstep.

"It's gone, but the knowledge used by them and the Antak family to summon the coachmen together, we did not find the source. And this time the matter was investigated in depth, it was unexpectedly discovered that all of these things seem to have the same behind-the-scenes... "

　　 "Let me guess, is it a tree house? They infiltrated the nobles and high-levels of the two countries, and used extraordinary power and promises of the future to win over the hearts of the people?"

　　 Jenkins asked, and Miss Bevanna laughed:

　　 "You really know it."

　　 In fact, even the [Nightscape Manor] incident has a shadow of a tree house behind it. They want to borrow the nightfall manor to conduct a dangerous experiment. As for the content of the experiment, and the relationship between Miss Lawrence's uncle and aunt and this organization, it is still unknown.

"It is known that the tree house is related to the [Gear Craftsmen's Association] and the [Scent Appreciation Committee]. We might as well guess that they have connected these two organizations. But the question now is, what are they doing? Before arriving at Nolan, we were tracking the whereabouts of these three groups, but they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

　　 "Under the ground, right?"

　　 Jenkins said, "Didn’t the gear craftsman dig a very dangerous thing under Nolan?"

　　 "That's it. We even found two entrances where the craftsmen would enter the underground. But they dug too deep down, and the underground mines are too complicated. The investigating team has not yet reached the point where they found them."

　　 This is the result of the church's current investigation of these illegal organizations. Although it seems that there is no result, at least the church can make new discoveries every day.

　　 Jenkins suspects that the beast of disaster and the outbreak of the final disaster are related to the Artisans Association or the Fragrance Appreciation Committee, and even to both. The theme of the last page of the epic poem is steam. Now it seems that neither the underground differential engine nor the weird smoke on the ground is completely irrelevant to this theme.

　　 Although it is said that he met the king of the southern kingdom in the morning, Jenkins has not forgotten the true purpose of going out this morning. After chatting with Miss Bevana, I decided to go to Sarhi II. But before he got out of the church door, he was blocked by the bishop of Paro.

　　 "Oh, Jenkins, you came really early. Are you here to see the materials? I have prepared them. It happens that this time is too hot and there are not many people in the library. You can go there to see it."

　　 After finishing speaking, before Jenkins objected, he wanted to lead Jenkins to get those documents. Jenkins thought for a while, he must have finished reading the materials today. Since he is in the church now, it is better to finish reading it first and then go to Sarhi II. Anyway, the other party can't fly away.

　　 So all morning, Jenkins and the cat stayed in the public library of the church. The library was even hotter than outside. Seeing that the cat was too hot, Jenkins applied to Miss Bevanna, and after receiving an approved reply, he made some ice bricks and piled them on the wall.

　　 Although it has little effect on the overall temperature, Jenkins is relieved to see the chocolate lying on the top of the bookshelf next to the ice cubes, a very pleasant look.

　　 The information given by the bishop relates to almost all political secrets, large and small, in the entire world within a decade, and more importantly, the contradictions and conflicts between the three kingdoms in recent years. These things involve the entire material world. If they can be sorted into books, then these love, hatred, and conspiracy lies are definitely more exciting than the two copied by Jenkins.

The game between the kingdoms, the secrets between the duchy, the separation in the palace banquet, the plot under the grape trellis, and the fight in the uninhabited wilderness, although they are only spoken in plain and straightforward sentences, they are no less exciting than Jenkins. Any novel you have read.

　　 "Is this the charm of history and reality?"

　　 He thought to himself, and then noticed that it was lunch time.

　　 There is not much content left, and it can be read at most one hour in the afternoon. So I had lunch in the church, and I met Captain Bincy on the way, and he had sent those distress letters to Nature Church.

　　 "Jenkins, I met your cousin. She said she was ready. Let me ask you when to invite her to your home. She must make some preparations in advance."

　　 Captain Bincy also sent a message to Jenkins.

　　 Jenkins counts the time, tomorrow is the Three Kings meeting, so there must be no time, and bringing Sigrid home is a very important thing, Mary also has to prepare in advance.
