Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "I have no problem with men's stockings, but maybe you will become more mature with a beard. You now look...younger than us."

　　 In fact, it is appropriate to use the word "young". The difference between Jenkins's current face and the actual age is very large, which makes him look like a sixteen-year-old boy. But if you look at it with this outfit, you can barely be regarded as a handsome young man.

　　 Of course, there are psychological reasons for looking young. Although the age of the soul is about the same as the physical body, this man is obviously not mature enough.

　　 "Beard."

　　 He touched his chin. He had this idea last fall, but he gave up because he was a little unwilling to chocolate. Cats hate Jenkins with beards. Although chocolate can't speak human words, Jenkins feels that way.

　　 It seems that many people know Jenkins, and they greet Jenkins very kindly. Jenkins didn't know most of them, but fortunately, Briney knew them. Whenever someone chanted "Viscount Williams" hello, she would use the right voice to tell Jenkins the identity of the other party.

　　Because of this, Britney moved closer to Jenkins. The red-haired **** the side always kept a smiling face, wondering where the relationship between the other two had reached.

Chapter 938 Chapter 921 Inside the Theater

　　 On the red carpet at the front entrance of the Opera House, although Jenkins was able to deal with unfamiliar social occasions with ease on the surface, he was actually a little nervous. He is now caught between the two girls, and they are still in love. His current relationship among the three is very delicate, and if he is not paying attention, it may lead to the bankruptcy of friendship. This is the scene he is least willing to face.

The blonde girl looked at people around her. Because of family education issues, she knew from a young age that one day she would accompany a man as a lady, attend social occasions with him, and deal with some social problems for him. small issue.

　　 But she never dreamed that that day would come so fast, even that there was a second woman next to the man. Regarding the relationship between Hathaway and Jenkins, although she has never noticed that she has been tricky, there is always an inexplicable sense of familiarity between the two when they look at each other, as if they are the best pair.

　　 This idea is very strange and unfounded. But just as Brian firmly believes that Jenkins' cat is absolutely weird, she also believes in this inexplicable inference.

　　 "So, is it inappropriate for me to appear on this occasion..."

　　At this moment, the three people's thoughts reached a high degree of agreement.

　　 But no matter what I thought in my heart, the movement of stepping forward remained unchanged. A lot of celebrities really came here today, even if this opera is really a pile of rubbish, it will be noble because of the identity of the audience.

　　 Now Jenkins has completely believed the inference on the carriage just now, the headline of tomorrow's newspaper must be about this opera performance, but the content has absolutely nothing to do with the opera.

　　 is probably to bring out the importance of this performance, and the interior decoration of the opera house is very careful. In the past, those expensive oil paintings were replaced with more expensive antique paintings, and the decorative armors on the walls became real knight armors. Even the door of the opera hall was repainted. Jenkins suspected that the shiny things were paint mixed with gold powder, but Hathaway thought it was actually some ore powder that would reflect light.

　　 After entering the opera hall tonight, the huge crystal chandelier immediately attracted the attention of the visitors. Jenkins passed the ticket in his hand to the waiter at the door, and looked up at the crystal lamp that looked like a blooming petal.

The 　　 upside down lamps are divided into three layers, and each layer is made of candles with different specifications, so that the light has a distinct sense of layering without causing blind spots in the lighting. Jenkins valued the lamp at 700 pounds, because it is a real work of art.

　　 checked the tickets of the three people, and the waiter led them to think about what the front row was doing. Rows of seats are decorated with red cloth and satin, and each row has a dedicated guide to guide the distinguished guests.

　　Mr. Nellie wanted to give tickets to the Jenkins box, but Jenkins rejected the kind offer considering the reputation of Hathaway and Britney.

　　 In fact, he really wants to agree, because the box is indeed more comfortable than the seat below, and he does not have to restrict the freedom of chocolate. But since we are still living in the human world, we must abide by the general rules of society...

　　 He suddenly squinted at Hathaway, thinking of the sly dream, after that the two had not had a chance to talk about related topics formally, and he didn't know what Hathaway wanted to do with Britney's future.

　　 "Does she have the idea of'I want it all'?"

　　 Jenkins was amused by his own thoughts, Hathaway is definitely not such a girl, Jenkins believes in his own opinions.

　　Because there are too many big people coming tonight, the director of the opera house and the actual director of the silver jasmine opera troupe, Mr. Nellie, also put on his best suits to receive guests.

　　 Jenkins met Mr. Nellie in the front seat. Hathaway and Britney went to sit first, leaving Jenkins to stand and talk to Mr. Nellie.

　　 "Baron Williams, congratulations, I have heard the news that you are going to be a nobleman. Speaking of which, you should be the fastest person to be a nobleman in the past hundred years."

　　 The reason why this century is limited is because there were many people who were faster than Jenkins in the war years, and that was the truly crazy era.

　　 "It's nothing, this is the generosity of Her Majesty the Queen. In fact, I just did some trivial work."

　　 "How can it be said to be insignificant?"

Mr. 　　 Nellie raised his head, and the decorative monocle reflected the light of the gas lamp on the wall at an angle.

　　 "Your role in the Fabry scam is more than the combined use of the detectives at Carfax Field."

　　 He uttered this fact without shy away, and did not deliberately suppress his voice. The middle-aged gentleman who Jenkins didn't know who passed by here looking for a seat also nodded in agreement and paid tribute to Jenkins.

"You are absolutely worthy of the title of Viscount. Look, now because of your point of view, the three kingdoms are preparing to launch central banks controlled by the state. The Travellers Bank is also seeking reforms. This is an achievement that can remain in the history books. "

　　 The words of the middle-aged fat businessman made Jenkins blush. After all, the truth of the "Fabry scam" is actually very ridiculous.

When 　　 was seated, he realized that the girls had left him the same position as last time. This is also normal, because it is not normal for the two girls to sit together in the eyes of outsiders.

　　 The number of people who came to watch the performance this time was far more than the previous preview. Near the opening, the entire theater was almost full. On the soft seat cushion, Hathaway puts her lace gloved hand on Jenkins's armrest. The soft light made the ladies' jewelry sparkle, and people greeted the distinguished people loudly like a festival gathering.

　　 Hathaway also reminded Jenkins that the Marquis had also arrived in the upper box and flashed past the window of the stand.

　　 When Jenkins looked back, he only saw Mrs. Mikhail in a red evening dress with a pearl necklace. She was looking in this direction with the small telescope. He seemed to notice that Jenkins looked back and saw her, and he just stood for a while before leaving that position.

　　 "There are so many people here."

　　 Mr. Writer exclaimed in a low voice, it is a pity that this important opera performance has become a foil. No matter how successful today's performance is, people will only pay attention to the speech of the mayor for a while. But on the other hand, this also ensures that the performance will never fail, so it is difficult to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

　　PS: It feels a bit watery...but these descriptions are necessary...add a chapter today, noon.

Chapter 939 Chapter 922 The Mayor's Speech

　　 Jenkins can see that Hathaway is also looking forward to tonight's performance. She has been studying music since she was a child. Although she has good accomplishments, she has no chance to show off her talents. This opera with Jenkins is the first time she has put her work on stage.

　　 This is of extraordinary significance to Hathaway. She has already planned to invite Jenkins to "celebrate" the success of the cooperation after tonight.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat smelled dangerous thoughts.

　　 The opera started at nine o'clock, and after the whistle, the lights in the entire hall went out neatly. The original magnificent theater plunged into darkness, and the voices of people's conversations gradually decreased, as if the surging sea gradually calmed down, and finally became silent.

　　 The light shines on the stage ahead, but there is no opening scene of the opera on the stage. Only the mayor, Mr. Sax Ruto, in a burgundy formal dress stands under the light.

　　 To be honest, his fat figure doesn't match the burgundy clothes very well. Although the old-school dress is very similar to Jenkins, Jenkins can't stand that color of clothes.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, I don’t think anyone will not recognize me? The Silver Jasmine Opera Company is going to perform an opera here tonight. The enthusiastic Mr. Adams Nellie invited me to give a speech before the opening of the opera. I hope you will not despise me for standing here and wasting time."

　　 There was a friendly laughter from the audience, which on the one hand confirmed that at least most people are aware of such a link. Jenkins also sat in the audience, not expecting Mr. Mayor's next speech at all.

　　 is almost as expected, his speech has nothing to do with the opera performance this time. The first sentence at the beginning was "Everyone, we are now facing war...", and then talked about the amazing poisoning incident on Friday and the city turmoil that followed.

　　Similar to what the old man said, all the guilt was placed on the Duke of Antak. After all, he has suitable motives and means, and he is indeed responsible for this matter. Friday’s poisoning, leading the massacre of citizens, and the subsequent battle with Nolan’s garrison were all understated. Mr. Mayor’s focus was to tell Nolan’s heavy losses and the enemy’s panic.

　　 It can be seen that all this is instructed by the church, otherwise the planted things will not be completed so easily. I just don’t know what the church’s opinion is about launching a full-scale war, but Jenkins believes that the Orthodox Church will not support the turmoil a hundred years ago. This time it should only be aware of the existence of problems between the Chessland royal family and the nobles. Take advantage of the title to play and beat them.

　　 But the idea of ​​the Kingdom of Fedictri should not be so simple. If given the opportunity, the Kingdom will never be stingy to swallow up the land of neighboring countries. The extent to which the coming war can develop will depend on the attitude and means of the church and the kingdom. However, Jenkins believes that the chance of a full-scale war is not great, and that the Kingdom of Fidcicle can swallow a county in a neighboring country is the best result.

　　 Mr. Mayor’s speech, on the one hand, wanted to explain the official attitude towards this matter, on the other hand it was also soothing. Most people don't know the truth of this incident, let alone how catastrophic the plague that is about to erupt. Before all this begins, both the church and the kingdom need to give the most severe warning in order to minimize the loss.

　　 As for how many people can understand the warning and be prepared in advance, it is really hard to say.

　　 Sitting in the auditorium is a very new thing for Jenkins. The “audience” here does not refer to a physical location, but refers to his being outside of the event.

　　 Generally speaking, all the major events that happened in Nolan are inexplicably related to Jenkins and eventually lead to him being implicated. But at this time, the things Mr. Mayor said were far away from Jenkins. Whether it was aristocratic relations, disaster relief or future conscription, they were all indifferent to him.

Although he is a nobleman, he is not in the aristocratic system; although he has experienced disasters, the disasters did not bring any loss to him and the people around him; although the country’s conscription law requires all males of the right age to be ready to go to the front at any time. Even the nobles have to set an example...but the tricks of it can be known without even thinking about it.

　　 It is very interesting to observe outside the event. It's like the people who participate in the game and the people who watch the game, even if they are facing the same thing, they have completely different ideas.

　　 At this time, watching everyone here are listening carefully to Mr. Mayor’s speech, Jenkins suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness, as if he had been rejected. He observed all this like an outsider, feeling that he had touched an unspeakable feeling again.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat whispered softly, awakening Jenkins from that inexplicable feeling. This feeling of looking at everything is not the first time. Jenkins often feels this way when he feels incompatible with this world.

　　 He suddenly understood that a brand new power was about to appear, but he had not yet reached the last step.

　　 reached out and touched the cute cat's head. The furry hand feels very pleasant. Jenkins will never be alone, as long as the cat is still by his side.

　　Mr. Mayor’s speech lasted for half an hour. Although his eloquence was good, he did not win any applause after the speech. There were detailed and subtle voices under the stage.

　　 For the mayor, it is most appropriate to say this on this occasion. This is not an official occasion, and everything is not official; but here is a sufficiently formal public occasion, after gathering so many people with good looks. Saying these words again, everyone present knows the significance.

　　 For many people here, after the mayor’s speech, the main purpose of coming here is over. But everyone is decent, and no one rudely left before the opening of the opera.

　　Including the mayor, Mr. Sax Ruto, everyone silently watched the stage light up again in the dark, and the actors dressed as passengers appeared in the prop train set.

　　 There is a strange silence in the opera hall, so that the singing of the actors can reach everyone's ears. During the performance, the audience should of course keep quiet, but the silence at this time is somewhat unusual.

　　 This silence has an oppressive feeling, like the most peaceful moment before a storm.

Chapter 940 Chapter 923 Stage Actors

　　 The silence in the auditorium will affect the actors on the stage, but fortunately, all the professional actors on the stage. The Yin Moli Opera Company is also a well-known opera troupe in mainland China. The performance went on in an orderly manner, and the enthusiasm and voice of the actors were not affected by the strange atmosphere in the audience.

　　 Jenkins has been able to guess how much intelligence will be sent from this city tonight in various ways. He realized that Duke Antak’s affairs would never be good. Even though the whereabouts of the Duke is still unknown, and even though he may be strictly monitored by the people in the tree house, the current developments actually have little to do with him.

　　 "Maybe I will never see Antak in my life, so lucky for him."

　　 boom~

　　 The loud noise completely disrupted the rhythm of the music and broke the silence in the audience.

　　 A big hole was broken in the ceiling above the stage, and the lamps were also pulled down, leaving only two lamps to barely illuminate. In the darkness and smoke, the screams of women became the signal of the beginning of the commotion, but soon the commotion was suppressed by the roar of a man.

　　 "No one is allowed to move. I have 38 B6 steam bombs on my body. As long as one person dares to step out of the door over there, I will die with everyone here!"

　　 This sound came from the dim stage, passed through the smoke and dust, the broken floor, and the suspended wooden beam, and reached everyone's ears.

　　 The smoke dissipated quickly, revealing Antak who had jumped from the second floor. Most of the lamps on the stage were damaged by falling. Only two lamps were still on, and Antak was standing under one of them.

　　 No other lights are allowed during the opening of the opera. The only two lights left in the smoke and dust on the stage are the only light in the hall, and everyone's eyes are focused on the man under the light.

　　 I haven't seen Duke Antak for a few days, but he looks pretty good, at least his ruddy complexion doesn't seem to be half-worn. He was wearing a black coat, which was pulled apart by both hands, revealing the steam bomb wrapped around his upper body and two long swords around his waist.

　　 "I repeat, as long as someone dares to step out of that door, no matter who it is, then everyone will die together!"

　　 His voice is strong and loud, which is a unique way of pronunciation, and most actors and speakers will master this technique.

　　 "Antaq, what do you want to do? Do you really want an all-out war between the two countries?"

　　 A man's voice was heard from the box on the second floor of the higher room. Jenkins was not sure who was talking.

　　 "I'm looking for William!"

　　 Brian squeezed Jenkins' left hand.

　　 "I'm looking for Jenkins Williams!"

　　 Jenkins pinched the tail of the chocolate and got scratched by his paws.

　　 "I'm looking for Jenkins Williams! I want to fight you, coward! Honorable duel! Whoever wins will marry Miss Britney Michal!"

　　 Hathaway's hand almost broke Jenkins' arm.

　　 "Now fight with me, Williams! No matter whether you win or lose, everyone here can leave, but only one of us will survive!"

　　Dangling~

　　 A sword from his waist was taken off, and it was thrown under another surviving lamp on the stage. The Duke looked directly at Jenkins who stood up in the dark, his mouth was slightly tilted, but he couldn't see what his mood was.

　　 But Jenkins thinks that he should be in a very good mood now. Because Jenkins saw that the sword he threw out was an ordinary weapon, the sword he left for himself was specially processed by the ritual.

　　 In Jenkins's memories, Duke Antak seemed to mention that he did mention marriage to the Marquis of Mikhail, but the Marquis did not agree with it due to various considerations. So now for this reason to propose a duel to Jenkins, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no logical problem.

　　 And the Duke of Antak knows Jenkins's apparent secular identity, and he also knows that Jenkins is a benefactor. In a duel in the public, he knew that Jenkins could not use extraordinary abilities before him, after all, there are many sensitive people here. This is a rare good opportunity. It is not easy to bring Nolan's big figures together. Appearing on the stage in a highly anticipated manner is his means to guarantee his victory.

As for the reason for this matter now, he messed up the things related to Scru Pompeii. Even if he has the [Stage Fan Lock] in front of [Destiny Stage], he must make some achievements to win the trust tree. house. Now that he has become a wanted criminal, he has nowhere to go except the tree house. This is a deep purpose.

　　 There is also a reason for choosing Jenkins. Jenkins directly defeated the Duke when he first used Mishou. Antak is not a man with a broad mind. Since the tree house is going to make a big deal in Nolan, then Jenkins is naturally the most appropriate choice. Moreover, he had a faint foreboding that his ability to evolve might make this young sage believer inseparable.

　　 Of course, he didn't tell anyone about this, because the lunatics in the tree house were also untrustworthy in his eyes.

　　 In the eyes of unsuspecting people, the Duke of Antak recklessly launched a terrorist attack in a foreign country, and there are already many doubts. Now he is appearing on a wanted public occasion, and he is presenting a duel to another young man of the same age. The purpose behind it is really intriguing. It is used to disgust the church and the city hall.

　　 "Williamt, don't say a word. This is the opera script you wrote, and I know you are definitely coming! Come out, if you don't come out, everyone here will be buried with you!"

　　 the Duke shouted again, and lifted his coat more vigorously. This type of steam bomb does not need to be ignited or collided. It only needs to break off the stuck protective shell and press the bump on the surface of the bomb to detonate.

　　 So Duke Antak can explode these things at any time, but Jenkins knows that he cares about his life.

　　 looked up slightly, the strange eighth-level gifter was standing at the southeast corner of the theater building, where it seemed to be a corner of the wall or the extension of the window. He is here to protect Antak, his abilities and his identity are very useful to the organization. Once Antak failed, before the two fled, he was ready to make a big news here as revenge for the missing demigod of the tree house.

　　It must be the power of the church that can kill Clark locally.

　　 appearing so confidently, knowing that Nolan's demigods can't come to the opera house in the outer suburbs now. Even if all the plans failed, he could easily escape. Demigods are just mortals, but they are extremely powerful mortals. This is a normal perception.

　　 "There are so many demigods in the tree house. How many have appeared in the past six months?"

　　 Jenkins muttered in his heart, and regardless of Britney’s strong hand pulling him, he broke free with his left hand and raised it to the top of his head.
