Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "I will not threaten you, get anything from you, even if it is threatened by Jenkins, I will not take it."

　　Sarhi II looked at his daughter and laughed unexpectedly:

　　 "Dolores, this is not what anyone tried to force me to do, I have to do it."

Dolores looked at the expression on her father's face and hesitated. In the darkness before dawn of the falling snow, in the white snowy streets, among the still snow and ice crystals, she stretched out her hand and twisted it carefully. Rings.

　　 But the king was still dissatisfied and shook his head to her.

　　 Dolores tried to look up at her father, then to her brother and sister on the street, and finally, under everyone's gaze, put the ring into the ring finger of her right hand.

　　 "The duel is over, Williams, you won."

　　 The old king sighed softly, and then, including him, all the Stuarts who participated in this duel turned into a white light and flew into the sky.

　　 The snow in the sky is still still, but the wind is still whistling, but the sky in the east has turned white, and dawn is coming.

Chapter 1726 Chapter 1699 Questions

　　 With the sage’s son joining the battlefield, Loen’s battle ended before noon that day. At the cost of destroying one-third of the palace on the hill, the three demigods in the tree house were killed by Mr. Rosier, Alexia, and Jenkins.

　　Then the three rushed to the northern part of the city, probably because they were "manipulating" the tree house of the yeti army. When the three rushed to the front line, the yeti gradually melted away under the sun of summer sunset and snow.

　　 It didn't take much effort. The snowmen army that had almost occupied the entire northern city of Ruen disappeared without a trace. Only the snow that melted quickly in the city due to the rise in temperature proved that what happened last night was not an illusion.

　　 This afternoon, Jenkins, who hurriedly returned to Nolan from Luen, took Alexia to the Evergreen Forest outside the city. The Stuarts had already arrived first. The old king was very open-minded about the fact that the house he was staying in was surrounded by layers of churches, and he did not show extreme emotions about the church's desire to take the family away.

　　 "This is the first time I have visited this forest since that time."

　　 got off the church carriage, Jenkins and Alexia walked side by side along the forest path into the forest. Most of the power and teams of the Church of the Twelve Orthodox Gods are being repaired here, so the forest has become more lively than ever.

　　 I kept encountering all kinds of people along the way. When I saw Jenkins, people greeted respectfully, and Jenkins nodded in response frequently.

The "that time" that Alexia said was that they teamed up to defeat the conspiracy of undead believers on the 31st of the last cycle. Jenkins's ceremony [breath of life] rioted because of absorbing too many spirits of life. , Which led to the formation of this forest.

　　 At that time Jenkins was still trapped at the top of the giant tree in the middle of the forest. If it weren't for Chocolate to find Alexia to save him, Jenkins, who did not have the ability to [undead] at the time, would have to stay at the top of the tree for a long time.

　　 Thinking of this, Alexia chuckled softly. She was walking in the forest with Jenkins holding her hands, and noticed that the little animals appearing in Jenkins followed behind them. It's just that this time, for some reason, no rabbit appeared, but Jenkins was sure it had nothing to do with the chocolate barking at the squirrel on his shoulder.

　　 came all the way to the huge wood in the middle of the forest. At this time, there was only Miss Bevanna, and no one else could be seen. She looked up at the tree and the hanging shadow under the tree, obviously waiting for the two of them.

　　 "I thought Daddy would be here."

　　 Jenkins looked around, and walked towards Miss Bevana with Alexia, the woman turned around:

　　 "The old man said that this is an important matter for the church. He is only a semi-civilian antique shop owner, so he shouldn't be involved."

　　 "In other words, Dad used to be very unusual?"

　　 "Hasn't Stewart already told you?"

　　Miss Bevanna smiled, then looked at Alexia, nodded slightly with a kind smile, and proactively stretched out her hand:

　　 "Susan Bevana."

　　 "Alexia Miller."

　　 The two shook hands together.

　　 What happened in Luen was passed to the Holy See by special means before dawn. Demigods and sons of unknown origin appeared in Luen, and naturally they were also known by the church.

What happened to Jenkins is very simple. He and Salhi II reached an agreement. Jenkins agreed not to violate the oath he had made, and Salhi II would explain to him that he and the cat were able to reach Luen because of that. The reason for the chessboard.

But Alexia’s matter must be carefully explained. The demigods are the highest level of power that a mortal can reach in the material world. The mortal demigods in the entire material world actually have only a few three-digit numbers. Whether it is a friendly pagan demigod or a servant of an evil deity, any undocumented appearance of a demigod is a major event.

　　 Even in such a complicated era as the end of the Eighteenth Era, there has never been a record of the appearance of a demigod, which is enough for the Holy See to take it seriously. But fortunately, the relationship between Alexia and Jenkins has been known for a long time, so this conversation was only arranged for Miss Bevanna from the Church of the Sages instead of treating Alexia as a terror. Same as the molecules, choose enough power to suppress her before talking.

After a simple greeting, I went to the main topic. Miss Bevanna knew that the short lady in front of me had an unusual relationship with Jenkins, so before the formal inquiry, she told them to tell the truth. The church had no other meaning. .

　　 Jenkins wanted to answer Miss Bevana's questions on behalf of Alexia, at least let Miss Bevana deliberately avoid some sensitive topics when inquiring. But Alexia insisted on talking on her own, and let Jenkins not have to wait here.

　　 "You can go to other places in the forest. I see those squirrels like you very much."

　　 The short girl smiled, and the cat looked at her suspiciously.

　　 "Don't you need me to stay here?"

　　 Jenkins confirmed.

　　 "No need. If you are here, this Miss Bevanna may avoid some topics because of scruples when asking questions. But we came with kindness, and there is no problem that needs to be avoided."

　　 She gently pushed Jenkins, and Jenkins took two steps to the side, but looked back uneasy. Miss Beffana shook her head and said helplessly:

　　 "Look, that's why the old man and others are unwilling to do this. The ‘wicked’ can only be done by me."

　　 "Okay, okay, I see, I will leave now."

　　 Despite saying this, Jenkins's legs did not make the same movements as the verbal narrative.

"Don't you still know the church? Just asking questions, what to worry about? You did a good job last night. After hearing about it, Bishop Parode wanted to paint you another oil painting and hang it in the church. The name is "St. Williams Saves the Northland." Maybe you can go elsewhere and consider the layout of the oil painting."

　　 Miss Bevanna joked that Jenkins only turned around one step at a time and left the clearing in front of the pool under the giant tree.

　　Today was originally the period of the Three Kings Talks. Even though the good news that the war had ceased before the earthquake the day before yesterday, other negotiations are still going on. Only because the Stuarts were invited by the church to the Evergreen Forest as a guest, the meeting was suspended for the first time since it started. As for the external reason, it was a short break, after all, the meeting had been held for many days.

　　 The Stuarts are now also in the Evergreen Forest, and the boring Jenkins saw that Chocolate was very disgusted with his behavior of teasing squirrels, so he planned to visit Dolores and her brothers and sisters. Although the church and the secular kingship are non-interfering and equal in terms of textual constraints and secular concepts, because of what happened last night, the Stuarts must explain clearly that the disaster that almost destroyed Roen, and the long-wanted What kind of involvement does this illegal organization have with the family?

Chapter 1727 Chapter One Thousandth Chapter Appearance and Essence

　　 After a little inquiries in the forest, Jenkins learned the location of the royal family of Stuart. So I walked along the winding path in the forest for about ten minutes, and I saw the building complex beside the lake in the forest.

　　 Unlike most of the wooden buildings in the forest, the gray stone houses standing in front of the lake. Although they are not wooden houses, these buildings are well integrated with the forest. Moss spread around the corner, and creeper crawled all over the wall. Although these houses were built in less than half a year, they are like abandoned houses abandoned for a long time in the forest, with a natural and simple temperament.

　　 The building complex is located on the west bank of the lake. Hearing a sound in the forest, the two grave guards who are in charge of patrolling the periphery looked to the side. Seeing that it was Jenkins with a cat, they immediately greeted him.

　　The evergreen forest is quite large. The church did not cluster the buildings together, but scattered them all over the forest. Even Jenkins couldn’t say how many hidden buildings there are in the forest.

　　 These stone houses standing by the lake were originally lent to the Nature Church for the ascetic monks to live in. Later, the Nature Church discovered that the spirit of life filled with the forest was different, so it used its own means to find a more suitable place to live, and after obtaining permission, it used the method of inducing trees to build itself closer to the residence, so The houses by the lake were left unused, and only people who had nothing to go fishing on the lake would occasionally set foot in them.

　　 This time I chose this place as the temporary "residence" of the Stuart family. One is because of its concealment, the other is that the scenery here is good, and the third is to deter the royal family of the North with the appearance of abandoned houses.

　　 At this time, the inquiry about the events of last night is still continuing, and the benefactors of the outer patrol are both protecting and monitoring. In addition to them, in order to take care of the face of the Stuart family, a royal guard squad was also entered in the Evergreen Forest. Now the royal guards were waiting by the lake in the distance, and the men stood together and talked quietly, seeming to be talking about the environment here.

　　In this situation, no one would be allowed to enter the stone house complex. After all, the church has not fully figured out what happened last night. It is inevitable that there will be some problems in allowing irrelevant people to contact the Stuarts.

　　 But Jenkins's identity is different, and he is not completely irrelevant to this matter. The tomb guards in charge of the guard passed the news of Jenkins’ arrival to their superiors, and then with the consent of the demigods present, he was allowed to enter temporarily, but he must leave within half an hour, and he could not leave it to the Stuart family. article.

　　 At present, the royal family is temporarily staying in the three-story building in the middle of the complex that looks like an old guard post, but after entering it, they find that the interior decoration and environment are quite good, which looks completely different from the outside.

　　 The first floor was uninhabitable due to severe dampness. Along the uneven steps, carefully avoiding the moss on the slippery stone, came to the second floor, and saw the Stuarts in the front hall.

　　 The family was not separated, but allowed them to move around on the second and third floors, except that everyone had to record a statement about what happened last night, and it happened to be Sarhi II who was leaving now.

　　 "...So am I going to call you Her Majesty the Queen?"

　　 When Jenkins climbed the stairs, he heard the voice from above. It was a man speaking, and his tone was quite aggressive. So Jenkins deliberately stepped on the stone and made loud footsteps, the sound stopped abruptly, and then everyone saw Jenkins walking up with the cat.

　　 He saw Dolores at a glance, and asked quickly:

　　 "Are you okay?"

　　 "It's okay."

　　 Dolores was sitting at the round wooden table by the window, and her sisters were sitting beside her. The other Stuarts were also faintly surrounding this table. Dolores was obviously the central figure here. As for the one who just spoke, of course it was Salot Stuart. His right hand carried a bronze metal bracer with a rune with the meaning of "imprisonment". It was a special lock made by the Destiny Church. He couldn't leave the locked key more than 300 feet with this thing on.

　　 As for the left hand of the prosthesis, it has disappeared. Now the sleeve tube is empty. The wood-skinned metal inner prosthesis, which is suspected to come from the tree house, was obviously confiscated by the church.

　　 The current imprisonment is a unique treatment for the tree house collaborators.

　　 Seeing Jenkins appear, Salot took a step back instinctively, but felt that he was embarrassed, so he raised his head and looked at Jenkins, as if waiting for him to express his mockery, but Jenkins ignored him.

　　 This person has no value to make Jenkins satire at all. He cooperates with the tree house, and thinks that the church will never let him appear in the sun after coming. Although it will not kill, but it will not be a good treatment if you want to.

Last night, Jenkins had already treated Dolores, but what she suffered was not a simple physical injury. The mental injury Jenkins could not be completely treated, so after the Stuarts were taken away, she deliberately Let the Church of the Sages take care of Dolores.

　　 Now it seems that the face of Her Royal Highness is very good, her complexion is ruddy and beaming, she stood up and gave Jenkins a warm hug, and then took him by the hand and let him sit next to her.

　　 Wendy Stuart immediately got up and gave up his seat.

　　 Most of the children in the Stuart family greet when Jenkins shows up, and a few people also nod their heads. Salot looked at Jenkins looking very ugly, but at least he maintained the most basic decent, and he was very self-aware and did not step forward to provoke.

　　 "How is Loen's situation?"

　　Dolores asked with concern that they all left earlier, and after Sarhi II announced the end of the duel, the "viewing" function of the chessboard was closed.

　　 "It's okay, the church teamed up to repel the yeti army..."

　　 Jenkins blinked at Dolores, and the princess gave a reserved smile.

"The Beicheng District is now covered by snow, but according to the speed of the temperature rise, the snow will disappear soon. According to current statistics, the number of deaths in the first half of the night and the second half of the night last night is less than 100. At present, the church and the Luen municipal government are arranging disaster relief and reconstruction work. Oh, now the temporary manager of Luen is Ajelena. Although her ability is a little insufficient, the officials and nobles of Sarhi II staying in Luen They are all willing to help her, besides, there are several capable old dukes there."

　　 Hearing Dolores breathed a sigh of relief here, the other Stuarts looked better, after all, it was their home.

　　 Then Dolores asked about the church's arrangements for the group of people. Jenkins said that the church would not restrict their freedom for a long time. After figuring out what happened, he would probably let them leave.

"Now that the Three Kings talks are still going on, it is impossible for the church to keep King Salhi II from appearing in silence. As for you, there is actually nothing illegal. Except for those who should be punished, no one will be restricted by the church. ."

　　 Jenkins looked at Salot, and there was clear evidence that he was related to the tree house. He couldn't explain it clearly anyway.

　　 was talking, footsteps sounded again at the top of the stairs. It was Salhi II who was brought back by the two night watchmen. The two followers of the Dark Moon greeted Jenkins first, and then took away a prince of Stuart, who looked a little nervous.

　　 "How is Ruen?"

　　 Salhi II asked the same question as Dolores, and Jenkins repeated what he had just said, then stood up and gave his seat to the increasingly weak king.

　　 There is a price to use extraordinary items as an ordinary person, and the chessboard last night was not an ordinary extraordinary item. If it weren't for Jenkins to treat him last night, it would be a question whether Salhi II can survive today.

　　 Now that he is here, Jenkins also inquired about the origin of the chessboard and what the "ancestors' enlightenment" that Salhi II has always said about it.

　　 The king took the tea cup brought by Yanni Stuart under the gaze of the children, and then looked at the prosperous forest outside through the window on the stone wall, before speaking for a long time:

"My original plan was not like this. I just wanted the Northern Guards Corps to purge Luen. Leaving the clone in Luen was just to deal with possible accidents. Of course, in order to prevent accidents, I also tried to The treasures left by the ancestors looked for useful items that Dolores did not take away. Then I saw a mirror, a large floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a golden frame engraved with unrecognizable ancient characters.

　　 Somehow, I became interested in the mirror, and then I saw a person in the mirror. "

"Who?"

"The ancestors of thousands of years, to be more precise, are the ancestors of an earlier period than the ancient Xicali Empire. I even suspect that the ancestors did not live in this era. He said some secret family evidence to prove their identity. , There are some things that only Stuart knows, those secrets that even the extraordinary cannot snoop."

　　 Salhi II said, looking at the prosperous summer outside with a sad face, it seemed that the heir problem had been solved, and he immediately relieved the burden of his heart. The gentle sunlight shone diagonally on the king's face, reflecting the vicissitudes and wrinkles clearly, but it also seemed that this man was so real.

"He told me that now is a different era, a change that has been rare in thousands of years. When choosing an heir, you can't just look at ability, because ability is no match for fate... Seeing I don't believe it, he gave it. My chessboard, tell me the usage of the chessboard, and then it can prove that what he said is right...Yes, I should believe him."

　　 He tapped his fingers slowly on the table, seeming to be enjoying himself. After the introduction, he said:

"The chessboard was destroyed by itself, and the mirror was destroyed by itself. No one can prove what I said. But the ancestor asked me to bring you a sentence, no, it’s not what the ancestor wanted to tell you, it’s the ancestor. For a very noble being."

　　 "Say it to me?"

　　 Jenkins asked hesitantly, then nodded slowly:

　　 "What are you talking about?"

　　 "Don't be confused by appearances, your essence is your initial posture."

Chapter 1728 Chapter 1701 The Hood in the Forest

　　 The old king slowly said something that no one could understand. Seeing Jenkins looking at him suspiciously, he said again:

　　 "He only has this sentence, probably only you know what it means, after all, you are a very powerful transcendent~"

　　 He slowly raised his arms and stretched his waist, then with a smile, he put his right hand on the table and propped his head to look towards the vibrant summer forest.

He did not have many days to live. In these last days, he was still reluctantly selected and heirs were selected, which paved the way for the affairs of the next few decades of the kingdom. The king believed that he had done what he could do well. thing.

　　Dolores looked a little sad, and Jenkins also felt a little dull atmosphere. After thinking about the sentence just now, I felt that I should have time to chat with Daddy or Miss Audrey. He briefly said a few words to Salhi II, caring about his health a little bit, and planned to get up and leave, but Salhi II stopped him again:

"As for the heir, since I have chosen Dolores, I will naturally not regret it. After we leave this forest to regain our freedom, I will announce this decision to the public, but now Dolores cannot take over the king's crown. , She still has a lot to learn. During this time, she will be by my side. After the last part of the Three Kings Talks, she will naturally be able to sit on the throne... As for your marriage, I don’t Intervene, but I want to warn you that my daughter is the queen of the next generation of the Kingdom of Hampawo, and she will not be your lover without her status."

　　 Dolores blushed at these words, her sister smiled and hugged her behind her back, shaking her gently and joking. Although Yanni Stuart also cared about the throne, but that has passed, and the ending now looks good, although it is not perfect for her.

　　 "Of course I know this. If possible, I would even want to invite you to our wedding, take Dolores's hand across the red carpet, and put her hand in my hand."

　　 Hearing this, Sarhi II shook his head helplessly, and for the first time there was sadness in his eyes:

　　 "If you treat her better, I'm very satisfied."
