Dominate the Treacherous Realm

"Your ability to act is really strong. I heard Father Oliver complain when I was in the Holy See, saying that you always like to act alone, and you don't want to discuss your plans with others. But this is obviously a good thing, Oliver. Although Dad is very responsible and knowledgeable, he really didn't see your skills clearly this time."

　　 If he has been with Jenkins for a long time, he would never say that at this time.

　　Since Jenkins had unexpectedly acquired one of the Four Souls, the plan originally drawn up by the Holy See has been voided. Mr. Yasen approached Miss Bevana to discuss, and immediately passed the news to the Holy See.

　　 Jenkins took this opportunity to walk in the evergreen forest with Alexia, watched the sunset together after a long absence, and tried the feeling of kissing in the lake reflected by the setting sun. Except that the cat is not very satisfied, both of them are happy with this alone time.

　　 After having dinner in the Evergreen Forest, the Holy See gave a reply, don't talk about the Soul of the Tree. It is no good to talk about it now. According to Red Dragon's statement last night, the king's soul needs to be awakened to be useful to the owner, so the Holy See asked the Diocese of Nolan to prepare for the awakening of the tree soul as soon as possible.

　　 Although it is said that the savior ability cannot be actively sought, the soul of the tree has now belonged to the descendants of the elves, and the Holy See does not think that actively seeking awakening will have unnecessary effects.

　　 Alexia wants to return to Dolores. Her Royal Highness still needs protection, so she can’t stay in the Evergreen Forest to accompany Jenkins. Jenkins asked her to drop by to her home on St. George Street, pick up the news that she might be going back very late, and then waited for the secret guards who rushed over to discuss how to stimulate the tree soul to awaken.

　　 Daddy also appeared in the Evergreen Forest at 8:30. At that time, Jenkins was sitting bored at the top of the canopy of the giant tree in the middle of the forest, draped in starlight and used a knife to help chocolate chip apples.

　　 Father naturally can’t climb trees. He snarled Jenkins down under the tree. After asking about the tree soul, he also brought another big news:

　　 "Did you read today's evening paper?"

"No."

　　 Jenkins shook his head, and stood talking with his father under the tree. There are still many people in the open space, so the two of them just whispered in remote corners.

　　 "The Three Kings talks have reached an agreement, and Hampawo and Fidiktelli will immediately send troops to help Chesland's "recovery"."

　　 "So fast? The decision was made in one day of the meeting? Why is the efficiency so high this time?"

　　 Jenkins was taken aback, he thought it would take at least half a month to talk about this kind of thing:

　　 "Why are Salhi II and Queen Isabella so decisive this time? I haven't received any news, and neither Miss Windsor nor Dolores mentioned it."

　　 "This is the news that was only made at noon today, something has happened to Chesland."

　　 "What's the big thing? Did the proud followers of Takwen who stayed in Chessland plan the assassination and kill the high-level military?"

　　 "It's a terrible big thing."

　　 Daddy sighed, his whole person looked extremely decadent:

"The end is really here. Just this morning, the southern forest fire spread very rapidly. As of the news I received when I left the city, the two counties south of Chesland had been completely covered by flames and dense fog. Counting this way, one-seventh of Cheslan’s land area in the mainland area was engulfed by the burning fire. You said that with such a good opportunity, will Sarhi II and Queen Isabella be unable to catch it?"

　　 Jenkins suspected that there was a problem with his ears:

　　 "Two counties? All burned?"

　　 He showed an incredible expression, and it took him a long time to accept this fact:

　　 "Is this using any tricks or rituals? How could the fire spread so quickly? And, are you sure that it continues to burn? Shouldn't it be after burning it all but leaving only the white ground?"

"It is indeed burning continuously. I did not see that kind of scene, but according to the news from the retreating gifters, it seems that the whole world has become the inner chamber of a steam oven, and the fire spreading from the southern forest to the north is like running. The herd of animals infested everything. Everything was on fire and burning. We are not sure how this was caused. There was no warning before, and Cheslan suffered heavy losses. Although most of them escaped, But the homeless people will be even more miserable, and Fidiktelli is ready to accept refugees."

　　 Jenkins could not imagine this happening. His impression of the fire was just staying in a whole house crackling on fire. At this moment, at the southern end of the main continent of the material world, flames covered everything. Such a supernatural scene was really frightening.

Chapter 1845 Chapter 1816

　　 "Is there no way to put out the fire?"

"It is no longer a question of extinguishing fire. The Son of the Mist was born in that flame, and the mechanized curse of the corpse mentioned by the lie believer is also spreading. Can you believe it? The people who died in the fire were not burned by the continuous flame. It became ashes, but it merged with machinery and moved towards the civilized world with the flames. The curse was even more terrifying than the lie believers described. If the natural disasters of the undead 30 years ago, there are life forces that can be restrained, then this The second mechanical corpses have almost no special reaction to life, and only divine magic can completely destroy them."

　　 Dad covered his forehead and looked towards the sky:

　　 "We stand in the forest, thinking that the world is not particularly bad, but it has already begun, and once it starts, it cannot end, at least we cannot let it end.

　　 The flame is now forced to stop by the church, but the fog produced by the burning is still spreading, and the children of the mist and the mechanical corpse are also coming out of the fire. What is burning now is civilization. It is the entire era. Jenkins. There is no definite deadline for the arrival of the end. Perhaps long ago, before Nolan was completely covered by fog, it was already the end. "

　　 "Is there enough manpower in the south?"

　　 Jenkins was stunned for a long time before he recovered.

"Don't worry about this. The church in the Eighteenth Century was not just about proclaiming the glory of God to mortals. Although the situation in the south was a bit bad, now the city under our feet is the focus. Flames, children of the mist, and mechanical corpses will find solutions , But once Nolan, chosen as the land of fate, has a disaster, I am afraid that the whole world will completely enter the end of the Eighteenth Century."

　　 In addition to saying such pessimistic but very realistic things, Dad also heard about the king's soul. He came to see Jenkins and persuaded him to keep the tree soul and use himself to fight against the believers of lies.

　　 Jenkins will of course do this, which was thought from the beginning. But the awakening of the king's soul is not that simple. Even after repeated questioning by the church, the red dragon has revealed a lot of things, but it does not know how the king's soul is awakened.

　　 "I am a dragon, not a human. The souls of the Four Kings are your ancestors. The racial mythology forged by ancient humans is the secret of mankind, not the secret of dragon."

　　 These are the original words of the Red Dragon. It only knows that the awakening of the King's Soul is a probability event. Yesterday's lie believers encountered a small probability. Red Dragon believes that instead of asking about it, it is more valuable to ask the lie believers.

　　 After learning that Jenkins had found the Soul of the Tree, the Holy See of Beldiran immediately realized that this was an opportunity. Although the Twelve Orthodox Churches want to unite, there is still no conclusion about who will be the main one. If the Church of the Sage can add another card besides the [World Tree Sapling], it will gain more advantages.

　　The Holy See tends to immediately figure out the secret of the awakening of the king's soul, so that Jenkins will become the true owner of the king's soul. But even the Sage Vatican couldn't find more records related to the king's soul. In the end, the church risked being discovered by other churches and asked Jenkins to see Red Dragon alone, hoping that Red Dragon could give Jenkins advice.

　　 did not tell the other churches of the tree soul, because the negotiation is still going on, and the tree soul has not fully awakened, so keep a secret for the time being, and wait for the right time to raise the matter, which can achieve greater results.

　　 Because of this, Jenkins saw it again about twenty-four hours after being separated from the Red Dragon. The dragon was lying in his nest on the cliff, surrounded by gas lamps specially drawn by the church to lay gas pipes.

　　 The legendary fantasy creature looks at Jenkins under the light of the gas lamp in the steam age, which is indeed a bit unique.

　　 "I really don't know anything else."

　　 Red Dragon looked at Jenkins and said, shaking his head made Jenkins feel the wind:

　　 "My mission when I accidentally came to the material world was just to bring the soul of the dragon. Other things have nothing to do with me. Don't you know the protoss? Those ancient ones are probably more useful than me."

　　 "I know you don't know other things anymore, but the church asked me to ask, I can't refuse."

　　 He turned around and wanted to find a chair to sit down, but the most in the red dragon's lair were 1 penny coins. This is what it earned for the work of the church, and it was specially changed to a denomination of 1 penny in order to cover the entire floor of the nest.

　　 But there are no chairs here.

　　 "So what are you going to do?"

　　Red Dragon knew that Jenkins was the Son of God, and at the same time vaguely understood that he was not a mortal, and even recognized the terrible cat that appeared in the story of the young dragon, so he asked:

　　 "I know you want to help mortals through the end of the eighteenth era, but I don't understand why you don't show your identity directly...Of course, I'm just curious, you don't need to answer."

　　 "What identity do I want to show off?"

　　 Jenkins asked Xiang Long. Long was speechless for a while, and of course he was not so stupid that he guessed what the young man in front of him was.

　　 "Explain that I am the real savior."

　　Long chose this vague statement.

"It's not a convincing way to say it myself. I want to prove it. And even if I say it, the desires and demands of mortals will allow them to choose their own path. What I hope is to unite everyone. Therefore, it is necessary to show a powerful enemy and force people to unite together."

　　Long nodded, not daring to continue this question. It thought for a while and asked:

　　 "Do you know Silver Dragon? Yesterday, I smelled a very ancient silver dragon from you."

　　 "Don't talk nonsense about this. Princess Sophia heard it, but I can't explain it clearly."

　　 Jenkins warned, but did not deny that he knew the legendary silver dragon. Sparks spurted from the huge nostrils of the red dragon, showing an expression of interest;

　　 "I only heard of the dragon in my hometown story. Is she really as powerful as the legend?"

　　 At this moment, the Red Dragon's mentality is probably the same as that of a legendary hero when humans have seen it.

　　 "Very strong, even strong a bit unlike dragons."

　　 "Of course, that is the only dragon in history who has the courage to openly marry a human, and it is also a human female dragon!"

　　 Red Dragon said proudly, Jenkins didn't know what he was proud of.

　　 In short, after bidding farewell to the red dragon, he can only regret to tell the church the soul of the tree how to awaken, the red dragon really does not know. Although the church was disappointed, it also knew that there were some things that could not be forced, so Jenkins went back to rest first.

　　 Jenkins returned to the city with his father, and the two talked about many things along the way. Jenkins was very curious about what his father was like when he met Miss Stevier again, but he was slapped on the shoulder by his father just after he asked:

　　 "Stiwell said, you knew she had come to Nolan a long time ago?"

　　 So Jenkins dare not talk about this issue anymore.

　　 Dad asked Jenkins about his views on becoming a king. He didn't care much about whether Jenkins could become a king, and he preferred that Jenkins didn't have such a strong idea at all.

　　 Jenkins also very frankly explained his true thoughts, explained the difficulties encountered now, and also explained the conditions put forward by Queen Isabella, as well as the repeated regressions afterwards. He asked his father for advice, but his father shook his head and said that he did not want to get involved in politics, but in the end he gave Jenkins advice:

"You just need to follow your own ideas. No matter what the outcome is, this country will always have a king. And you now have the king's soul. Do you know what the king's soul is? It's not matter, not energy, or even Not information. This is an item that can interfere with fate. It burns in your chest and will surely lead your fate to touch the throne. I heard from the Destiny Church that the ability related to this savior’s qualification is called [Uncrowned King] ], but regardless of whether there is a crown or not, the soul of the king will become the king. This is the destiny you choose when you choose the soul of the tree."

　　 Dad made a double tap on Jenkins' chest.

　　 "[Uncrowned King]?"

　　 Jenkins thought for a while:

　　 "Then the ritual to achieve this ability, does it require the owner of the ability to be the king in the actual sense?"

"I don’t know. The Epic of Time will not also write the requirements of the savior’s ability in the book. This is probably only known to the believers of lies. I found that the group of people seems to have a way to predict the savior’s ability in advance, otherwise they can’t explain everything. Every time, they are one step ahead of the church, or even several steps.

　　 Maybe they also have items similar to "Epic of Time", but I don't remember that there is such a thing in the material world. "

　　 Dad took his thoughts astray.

　　 Because it took a lot of time to return to the city from the Evergreen Forest, it was already eleven o'clock when I got home. Hathaway and Britney had returned to the bedroom to rest, and Julia went to bed after preparing hot tea for Jenkins and a delicious supper for chocolate.

　　 Only Jenkins sits alone in front of the desk in the bedroom, playing with two parts of the World Tree Seed in his hands.

　　 "The Soul of the Tree" is undoubtedly related to the "life" and the "tree", so the awakening of the Soul of the Tree may also depend on the seeds of the World Tree.

　　 But Jenkins did not dare to put the seeds of the world tree together at will. He was not sure what the consequences would be. I thought about it to no avail, and simply went out again to find the old elves living in the city.

　　 Seeing the fragrance of the chocolate sleeping, I didn't intend to take it out with me. But while changing clothes, the cat somehow ran into his pocket, slumped there and continued to sleep.

　　 Helpless about this, Jenkins patted his head carefully. This action resulted in the cat's slight dreamy noise.

　　 Although it is very rude to visit others in the early morning, Jenkins is very busy recently and can't spare time. He was ready to be complained by the old elf, but he didn't expect someone to open the door immediately after knocking on the door.

　　 The elves are holding a stubby but straight wooden stick, and the surface of the stick is nicked with various Elvish hymns. He looked out the door vigilantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Jenkins.

Chapter 1846 Chapter 1817 The "Insomnia" Wizard

　　 "Have you not slept so late?"

　　 Jenkins asked curiously, then looked at the stick in the old elf's hand.

　　 "Aren't you awake?"

　　 said the elf, calling Jenkins into the living room. The living room is brightly lit, not only the three gas lamps have been adjusted to maximum light, but also the three staggered candles on the candlestick of the coffee table, the portable kerosene lamp placed in the corner, and the floor gas lamp near the bedroom door.

　　 There are also teapots, desserts and the book "Gardening Flowers 1866" on the coffee table. It seems that the old elf is ready to stay up late.

　　 "What are you doing?"

　　 Jenkins carefully looked at the wooden stick in the elf's hand. Although the wood is just ordinary wood, I don't know how it has been treated by the old elves. The aura representing life on it is many times stronger than that of living plants.

　　 "Prevent evil spirits from attacking me."

　　 "Evil spirit?"

　　 Jenkins sat down and laughed:

　　 "Stop kidding, are you afraid of evil spirits?"

　　 "It's not an ordinary evil spirit, it's a deceit. Speaking of what you are looking for, please leave as soon as possible and finish talking as soon as possible. Don't get involved in this matter."

　　 "I can't finish talking about what I came to you in a few words. Why don't you tell me what evil spirit it is? I can't infer much from your description."

　　 Strictly speaking, it was not a simple accident that the old elf was attacked by a treacherous thing, it should be said that it was just his bad luck. Probably last week, while the elf was out, a very beautiful pendant was found in a remote shop in the alley, so he bought it.

　　 As a result, I had a nightmare that night, and the nightmare reappeared for many days in a row. Each time the dream was connected to each other, the scary thing in the dream was getting closer and closer to the elf.

　　 In Jenkins's view, this is a very clichéd horror story segment, but in fact this is the characteristic of the trick A-12-2-0965 [Seven Days Rebirth].

　　 The pendant itself is the body of the deceit, and the curse on it makes the deceitized ghast find a reborn body. In essence, whether it is the old elf or the evil spirit, they are all unlucky guys affected by the power of the deceit.

　　 The elves may die because of this, and the souls of the evil spirits have undergone irreversible changes after being infested by the power of the deceit.

　　 Once seven consecutive nightmares, the body of the old elf will be invaded by evil spirits. Afterwards, the body became deceitful and materialized, spreading the nightmare curse to all people in contact with it. In the initial stage, it could only spread to one person at a time. As the number of spreads increased, the number of nightmares spread at one time also increased.

　　 But this crook is not a very dangerous level "1", because as long as the nightmare stays up for 24 hours, the power of the crook, including the nightmare that has been spread, will all disappear immediately. It was for this reason that the old elf planned to stay up late. According to him, he had successfully spent 20 hours. As long as he persisted until dawn, the unfortunate thing would be resolved smoothly.

　　 "Don't worry about my business, so let's talk about your business now. It is best to raise my spirits. Oh, I am too old, and staying up late is a torment for me."

　　 Jenkins thought for a while, instead of asking about the Soul of the Tree and the Seed of the World Tree, he narrated the eccentricity of the night the Child of the Mist appeared. He had nothing to hide from the old elf, even the last guess about the identity of "Sigrid" came out.

　　 Hearing the tone and content of Jenkins describing the woman he was talking to, the elf had shrunk on the sofa in horror. When Jenkins said his guess, the elf put his hands together, lowered his head and closed his eyes and prayed in a low voice.

　　 When he opened his eyes and looked at Jenkins, judging from his expression, Jenkins thought he might really be unable to sleep all night.

　　 "What an honor it is."
