Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 There was an expression of undisguised disgust on the cat's face, and Alexia caught this scene.

　　 "Jenkins, doesn't the church give you courses like politics?"

　　 the short lady asked, glanced at the file in front of her, and bowed her head to deal with the bacon on the plate.

"How can the church offer such a course... But I have learned some knowledge related to politics from another place. Some people want to hear about the feasibility of the peasant uprising and the historical process of overthrowing a decadent dynasty? Or is it a policy of land reform and promotion of education and increased literacy rate?"

　　 Jenkins used a fork to stir the food on the plate while searching for the memory in his brain. When he looked up again, he saw everyone watching him.

　　 "Sorry, I shouldn't play with food so rudely."

　　 He apologized immediately.

　　 "No, it has nothing to do with this. Jenkins, have you planned to overthrow the Kingdom of Fidcicle?"

　　 Alexia frowned and asked, she was also very beautiful like this.

Some people come to a brand new world and want to establish a new order to benefit everyone who desires dignity; some people come to a brand new world, hoping to live a different life; others, such as Jenkins, Coming to a new world, eager to focus on oneself, sublimate oneself and transform the world.

　　 But before fulfilling his hope, Jenkins felt that he had begun to reverse the normal development direction of the times.

He originally thought that the knowledge he had memorized from class and exams was useless, but both Alexia and Dolores thought it was "systematic, complicated, dangerous, and taboo" and did not pass it on. secret.

　　 They are all smart girls, so they can better understand what Jenkins casually said.

　　 Alexia is not worried about Jenkins using these methods to change society. She knows that Jenkins is not a power-loving person. But this does not mean that his knowledge is worthless, on the contrary, this is what Alexia wants.

　　 "So I was forced to deal with the files and didn't get out until an hour ago. Even if I didn't understand those things at all, they still let me do things."

　　 In the evening of this day, Jenkins and Hathaway were dining in separate boxes in the restaurant, and he told the follow-up of that morning.

　　 "Although I can say many things that make sense, it is just a rote theory. I have never practiced it personally. It is too sloppy to let me help in this way."

　　 He complained slightly, cutting the steak on the plate with great strength, using it as a distressing document. Hathaway nodded as she listened, but her eyes floated and she didn't know what she was thinking.

　　 The two chatted while eating. Jenkins very much hoped that Hathaway could tell herself B-11-1-0299 [Story in the story] so that her true identity other than "Mr. Candle" would also be invited.

But Hathaway seems to have made up his mind to never let Mr. Candle and Jenkins Williams appear on the same occasion, no matter how Jenkins hinted, "If you are in trouble lately, I can help you even in Loen." She just doesn't say anything.

　　 On the contrary, she took the keys to his house from Jenkins, saying that she could hire someone to help clean and tidy the yard at a fixed time when he was not at home.

　　 This is of course very good, Jenkins does not need to specifically contact Daddy.

　　PS: The current year is 1867, and Jenkins reached this world in 1866.

　　 Another: All the pinyin in this chapter is added by myself. I am not sure whether this is a sensitive word, but safety first, safety first.

Chapter 1266 The first thousand two hundred and forty-five chapters of the long story (Part 1) (2/10)

　　 Hathaway is in a very good mood today. During the meal, she also talked about an interesting story about her going to the theater with Britney. After dinner, the two of them said goodbye. Jenkins looked at the sunset and saw that it was almost time, so he put on black robes and walked towards the city center, and then walked into the hotel where Miss Cape lived.

　　 Of course, he didn't want to see Miss Cape, but Miss Stillwell happened to live here. When he climbed the stairs, he was still worried about meeting Miss Capet, but at least his luck today was not bad.

　　 But unfortunately, when I knocked on the door, Miss Stillwell had a guest there, and the guest was the old Jack who was supposed to be in the Shire.

　　 Seeing a stranger visiting, Old Jack left behind a small bottle of potion. When the two passed by, Jenkins was still a little nervous, but fortunately, Jack did not notice anything abnormal.

　　 "I thought you were in Roen right now."

　　 When Jenkins returned to his original appearance, the woman understood who he was. He teased while tidying up the tea set on the table, but Jenkins did not answer this question.

　　 "If it weren't for worrying about your leaving early, of course I wouldn't risk coming back. So can we continue the last conversation, the conversation about the old man."

　　 "You are really impatient, does my dad like this kind of students recently? He used to tell me not to be too anxious, but to be good at observing and thinking..."

　　 She had already entered the kitchen with the teacup that old Jack had just used, so Jenkins couldn't hear the next words.

　　 He sat on the sofa, and then looked at the bottle of potion left by old Jack. Observing the dazzling color of the liquid gold, I immediately felt very familiar, and then realized that this was the [Song of the Gifted One] that he participated in the configuration last year, and his [Mechanical Light] also evolved from this.

"Are you interested?"

　　 The woman soon came back with her new tea set, but Jenkins shook her head:

　　 "I'm not interested in potions. After all, this is my configuration. I thought it had expired. After all, several months have passed."

　　 "Did you configure it?"

　　Miss Stillwell gave Jenkins a weird look:

　　 "I now understand why old Jack was so envious when talking about you just now. Okay, let’s talk about business, where did we talk last time?"

"I wanted to investigate you through a friend, and then you found it by yourself. Last time I talked about Dad’s age, but it’s not his most important secret. Also, we talked about why you want to leave. Nolan, I haven't come back for so many years."

　　 Jenkins remembers this very clearly.

"Yes, I did say this...Let me think about where I should continue this topic. Yes, it is better to start with the simplest first. I leave Nolan and leave the antique shop, except for the private In addition to the reasons, it is also because of an important task assigned by the church."

　　 Today she is wearing the unique sacrificial gown that Jenkins used to meet her last time, but she can't tell which church it belongs to.

"Of course, personal reasons also include part of the father's reasons. 38 years ago (Chapter 56), in the Moon of the Earth and the Blossoms, the father temporarily left Nolan and went with the team to the Third Republic of Sunweil-Cursed Forest-Witch's Lake , He was the only one who survived that time, do you know about this?"

　　 Miss Stillwell asked.

　　 Jenkins wanted to say that he didn't know, but then he realized that he had heard of it. That was half a year ago, he accompanied his father to the castle in the countryside to scan the goods, because he encountered a strange situation, the father asked a weird question.

　　 "I have heard of it, but the old man didn't know the truth of that incident."

　　 He answered like this.

　　 "He just doesn't know part of the truth. Last time we mentioned that the old man lived forever because of an inexplicable curse. This is nothing, but mortal longevity has a price..."

　　 Jenkins thought of Old Ryan Sam.

"Longevity is a curse for short-born species like us, and it is also for the original father. Although I don't know the strength of the old father before being cursed, even if it is not a demigod, it is quite close to that threshold. Even so, such a long life is not what he originally had. The source of this longevity curse is actually a story long, long ago, when the old Jack and the old man were very young..."

　　 "Wait a minute, you mean, Old Jack is the same age of Daddy?"

　　 Because of excessive surprise, Jenkins had to interrupt her impolitely.

"That's it, but the longevity of old Jack is not a curse. It is caused by the strange potions he deployed when he was young. Those who deploy the potions will always produce weird and unrepeatable miracles, just like an alchemist. The same...In short, it is a story more than a hundred years ago. That year, Dad and Old Jack went fishing by the river (Chapter 850)..."

　　 The next story Jenkins once heard from the old Jack. When he heard it again, he realized that when the old man told this story, he was definitely not really feeling the past, but was reminding him.

"The two went fishing together. When they found the cave and went into it to find the treasure, the collapse had already occurred. The two took away an item. According to my understanding, Old Jack took a notebook. But when he ran away, he was too rushed, so the notebook was lost in the cave and he didn't take anything. As for the old man, he took a key, which is the source of the curse."

　　 Hearing this, Jenkins did not ask any more questions, thinking about it in silence, Miss Stevier was also silent like this, until Jenkins reopened:

　　 "At what age did this happen?"

"Sorry, I don't know such a specific thing, but that is at least the story before we were born. There are only two students left who are alive, and we are his closest people. I think except for the church's information room or Old Jack, no one can answer your question."

　　 The woman sighed, and when Jenkins was puzzled, she continued:

"Daddy only has four formal students. The other kind of students he pointed out or accepted because of the task need not count. Our big brother Larry Sheffield has not even seen me, he sacrificed Very early; my brother, your brother Capello, died in the undead natural disaster thirty years ago. He was buried under the palace library. When he was an apprentice in the old antique shop, I had already left Nolan for Turin, the capital of the Kingdom of Chessland, so in fact, you are the first junior I have ever met."

Chapter 1267 The first thousand two hundred and forty-six chapters of the long story (Part 2) (3/10)

　　 Speaking of Dad’s students, even Miss Stillwell felt a little sad.

　　 "I have heard of these two names, when I was in the mirror world..."

Jenkins spoke slowly, blurring his own experience in the mirror world (Chapter 941), only the phrase when he destroyed the old mirror image [I'm sorry you, Sheffield, Capello, Steviere. ..... I'm really sorry...] I told her.

　　 This woman who is somehow older than Jenkins has some signs of wanting to cry.

"Everything originated from the key taken away by the old man. In the years that followed, Dad returned to the river beach countless times, but the traces of the cave disappeared completely. Including the one 33 years ago. The same, yes, the place where Papa and Old Jack went fishing together was the Third Republic of Sanweil-Cursed Forest-Witch's Lake."

　　 She raised her hand and wiped her eyes, indicating that Jenkins can ask questions.

　　 Jenkins felt a little complicated. He thought about the things about his father, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

　　 "Is that key a trick? What are its characteristics?"

"No one knows what the key is. The key itself has the ability to guarantee its mystery. The holder cannot tell everything he knows, and to know the ability of the key, one must hold it. For so many years. Now, only Old Jack vaguely knows that the key can open all objects with the concept of'lock', and it is a veritable "Master Key"."

　　 "But it shouldn't be its only characteristic, right?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

"Yes, from my current observations, the key is still subject to the rules of [cannot be discarded] [cannot be traded]. In addition to cursing the holder for longevity, it should not adversely affect the holder itself. "

　　 The woman replied, and Jenkins recalled every moment of his life and work in the old antique shop. He had used his eyes by his father countless times, but he had never observed the aura of the key shape.

　　 "This can only represent one point. The power of that key is far beyond me... the next time you enter the state of deification, you must take a look at the old man!"

"As for the reason why I left Nolan and haven't returned for so many years... That key will affect the people around Dad. Anyone stronger than him can't stay by his side for a long time, otherwise he will suffer. Terrible curse. Because he was worried that he would lose control after being affected by that key, my father had been suppressed at the same level for so many years and did not dare to be promoted, and it was only after I was promoted to level 4 that I understood this from the church's sudden order ."

　　 Seeing Jenkins look confused, she added:

"If you have checked the personnel transfer of Nolan Church, you will know that the local demigod has never stayed for more than eight years. The current Miss Bevanna was transferred only four years ago, and generally speaking A demigod like her who has just been promoted cannot stand alone in a large diocese."

　　 "If you are better than the old man, you will definitely be cursed?"

　　 Jenkins once again confirmed that when he first met Dad last fall, Dad was a level 5 bestower, and he is still at this level. Although Jenkins falsely reported that he was level 4, he was actually level 5.

　　 Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered (Chapter 1144) after the angel fall incident not long ago, Miss Bevanna had said that the Holy See was considering transferring him to Berduran. Maybe this arrangement is because his level is close to that of the old man.

　　 "Because I don't understand the characteristics of the key, and the church seems to be helping the old man to conceal it, so this nature is my own guess. Maybe there are more complicated ways to determine it, but it can't be wrong in general."

　　 The woman hesitated for a while, and revealed a more secret message:

"The old man was not at his current level before, he was quite strong...this can't be wrong, so even if he is burdened with such a curse, the church still allows him to stay in a large diocese like Nolan. , Instead of being left unused or arranged to remote overseas."

　　 "This is really unthinkable... The old man I know is an ordinary old man who drinks tea and reads the newspaper early in the morning on time every day."

　　 Jenkins sighed, and then realized that he was not particularly surprised. He had long realized that his father's strength could not be limited to level 5, knowing that he is now also level 5, but he still feels very tricky about the schoolwork assigned by his father, and sometimes he even has to ask Alexia for help.

"I don't know how the old man changed from a demigod or close to a demigod to the current situation, but since learning from him, his level has not improved at all for so many years, which is not normal in itself. Jenkins, I know something about you. I also know that since you joined the team of scribes last year, your level has risen very quickly. At the current rate, within two years, you will be forced to leave Dad and be like me. It’s been a long time since I could return to this familiar city."

　　Miss Stillwell sighed, feeling a little sad thinking about her own affairs. But Jenkins still has more questions, and the amount of information in those words just now is a bit too much.

　　 "If I insist on not leaving, what kind of bad luck will I have?"

　　 "Have you read the "Wrong Direction: Failed Evolution"?"

　　 the woman asked.

　　 "If you are talking about the third booklet on the bottom right of the black bookshelf on the second floor of the secret trail library behind the Vientiane Gate, I have seen it."

　　 Jenkins nodded. He has a deep memory of the book. Some time ago, in order to find the monster sealed in the red moon [Scarlet Floating], he read the book carefully. What is recorded in it is the tragic situation of "lucky" creatures that have abruptly acquired a large amount of vitality, or the essence of life has changed. Even in this world, "theory of evolution" may not be the truth, but biological evolution is never achieved overnight.

　　 If you go in the wrong direction, it would be a disaster. Two extra arms are considered lucky. Jenkins doesn't want to recall all the other disgusting body changes.

"It's good to have seen it. People who are stronger than the old man, appear around him for a long time, and the people he knows will lose control of their bodies and change in unusually weird directions. If you know the so-called'abstract oil painting', you should be able to better Well understand what I mean. So Dad is not working in the church, but on the Fifth Queen's Road, which is far from the core area of ​​the city. This is also part of the reason.

　　 The average scribe will not be affected, but people like us who have been around him for a long time must consider moving away from him in time. "

Chapter 1268 Chapter 1247 Undercover (4/10)

　　 Seeing that Jenkins was still looking thoughtful, Miss Stewell took a sip from her teacup, then thought of one thing, and reminded:

"If you want to investigate the Third Republic of Sanweier-Cursed Forest-Witch's Lake, I advise you to give up. That forest is now a completely forbidden area, and the'treasure' encountered by Daddy and Old Jack It has nothing to do. It was 35 years ago when the cultists of the [Light Chaser Club] and the cultists of [Purification Fountain] broke out on the shore of the Witch Lake. I don’t know who used the trick, anyway since then , A terrifying phantom has been wandering there all the time. Except for the old man, no survivor can come out of the investigation team."

　　 "So the old man 35 years ago went there to investigate the cave again or to investigate the phantom?"

"He originally thought that the phantom was caused by the cave, but after an investigation by the church, it was determined that it was a sequelae left by the cultists. It's just that the old man didn't believe this very much and seemed to be investigating this matter... "

　　This reminds Jenkins of last fall. Even though he knew he would be turned into a golden statue, Dad still chose to ask the origin of the phantom...

　　 "Huh, isn't it? In the treacherous realm last year, the old man should ask about the origin of the cave or the origin of the key! Why did he choose the next level question instead?"

　　 Jenkins realized this, and then told Miss Stillwell about the conspiracy half a year ago.

　　 Sure enough, she was also surprised at Dad's choice, but she couldn't guess what it was because of the same. Although Miss Stillwell knows more about Papa than Jenkins, but that's just a little bit.

　　 Anyway, Jenkins stayed in Nolan for a long time on Monday night before returning to Luen. Before leaving, he also asked Miss Stewart if she was going to visit her father. After all, there was no contradiction between the two, and they couldn't see each other because of a curse.

　　 But Miss Stevier shook her head and said that she would leave here soon. After all, she was performing an important task, and leaving Turin without permission was a violation. If Jenkins didn't show up again, she had planned to return to Turin first, and waited for Jenkins to return to Nolan.

　　 "Speaking of which, although you can't meet each other, why have you rarely replied to my father for so many years?"

　　 Jenkins asked before standing up to leave, thinking of the reading festival gift he found in his notebook.

　　 "I joined a secret mission shortly after I was transferred to Turin. This mission lasted more than thirty years ago to the present. During this period, I cannot communicate with my friends and relatives in the past without authorization."

　　 "What mission?"
