Although a little surprised, Jenkins thought of this possibility before Alexia spoke. In fact, this is not a particularly bad idea. Once Queen Isabella dies, it means that Cheslan's "The Proud" Tarquin and the king of the Kingdom of Fidiktli will die almost in one day. The people proved in their minds that the Kingdom of Fidiktli had nothing to do with the death of the Southern King, and they could even attack the other party under the pretext that Cheslan was the murderer.
Moreover, Tarquin died at a very critical point in time. Without him, it is hard to say whether the Three Kings Talks can continue. Therefore, the death of Queen Isabella will not cause too much loss to the country like it did before this morning, and it is even possible that because of her death, Fidetic Terry will stand in the justice of the war with Cheslan party.
More importantly, because the war is almost on the verge of breaking out again now, once the king of Fidgetly dies, the country must elect a new king as soon as possible to suppress the domestic order, and at the same time keep the frontline soldiers and officers from have a bee in one's bonnet. The hasty selection of the heir to the throne, and the result of letting Jenkins wear the crown is almost without any suspense.
This is only the benefit that Jenkins can think of, and he believes that Salhi II can think of more things.
He admitted that he fully agrees that this is a reasonable idea rationally, and even vaguely thought of the murder plan for a moment.
"But would I murder someone for my own sake?"
Of course not, although he knew that Queen Isabella was a bad person and knew the benefits of murdering the other party, but Jenkins would not do it.
"That's the difference between me and her."
He said in his heart.
It has nothing to do with reason and emotion, nor justice and evil. Jenkins will not do such a thing, and if Queen Isabella is in Jenkins' position, she will definitely do so without any psychological burden in her heart. This is the conflict of values between the two, and it is also the cause of the irreconcilable contradiction between Jenkins and her The essential.
"I won't do that."
After Alexia finished speaking, the living room was quiet for a few seconds before Jenkins gave the answer a little late.
"really."
Alexia said.
"Of course he would."
Britney also said, and then smiled understandingly at Miss Windsor. Everyone can see Miss Windsor's nervousness in the previous few seconds. Although Queen Isabella did something wrong about the heir, which made her heartbroken, it does not mean that Miss Windsor wants the old man to go die.
She has a very deep affection for Queen Isabella, which is the affection between relatives, and it will not be completely wiped out simply because of one incident.
For example, if Robert killed someone, Jenkins would definitely help him deal with the traces of the scene, destroy the evidence, and then blame the matter on the believers of lies.
So Jenkins understands Miss Windsor's complicated feelings for Queen Isabella now.
"There is no need to do this. Killing the other party is just moving things forward. I don't think there is any benefit in this, and it will leave a real risk of being discovered. There is no need to do this, Salhi II is really Thinking too much."
He said again, sitting back on the sofa and looking at Miss Windsor:
"you do not need to worry."
"I'm not worried because I know who you are."
Hearing this answer, the other ladies in the room had different expressions, but Miss Windsor didn't seem to care. She still wanted to say something, but at this time another carriage stopped at the gate of the yard, and it was Hathaway who had returned.
Hathaway left home before Jenkins and Miss Windsor came to St. George's Avenue. Based on the vagueness of the message and the special emphasis on important matters, Jenkins guessed that she was probably going to meet Miss Stillwell. .
Music believers have been active recently, and Ms. Stewell probably wants to show her enthusiasm for cooperation with the lie believers in order to gain further trust.
Some irascible red-haired girls walked into the living room, glanced at everyone in the living room, and probably knew why Miss Windsor appeared here. She greeted the other party politely, hugged Jenkins who stood up, took a sip from the Jenkins teacup on the table, and heard Jenkins ask:
"Are you in any trouble?"
"I participated in a large-scale ceremony, but it failed for inexplicable reasons. Those materials are not cheap."
The red-haired girl replied angrily, looking rather annoyed at the incident:
"It's been planned for a while, and the materials and the people involved in the ceremony are also carefully selected. Even Lydia and Brilly have come. Unexpectedly, something went wrong inexplicably in the end, and the whole week will be spent In vain."
Jenkins was very curious about what Miss Stillwell was leading this group of people, and also wondered whether those two names were people he had seen when he broke into their rally last time as Mr. Candle, but he couldn't directly ask:
"Maybe you can tell the general situation, Alexia may be able to give you some help."
Hathaway obviously hesitated, leaned over and said a few words in the ear of the short lady. The process only took about half a minute, and the latter nodded slowly:
"It's not that there is something wrong with the ceremony itself. Although this ceremony is rare, there is no such wrong precedent... When the ceremony is held next time, it is good that you don't appear as a sacrifice. I think it is probably your birthday and the foundation of this ceremony. Conflict."
Alexia was the only demigod in the family, and Hathaway trusted her, so she didn't doubt this conclusion. But Jenkins realized that it was a lie, he looked at Alexia strangely, and tried to communicate with her with [Empathy].
Alexia caught the thought coming from Jenkins, raised an eyebrow at him, and gave the answer in his head:
"The reason for the failure of the ceremony is that another identity symbol of Hathaway Hessa suppressed the identity symbol of [God of Music's Sacrifice], which made it originally used to pray to the [God of Music] for an oracle. The ceremony has seriously shifted. She is the real thing now, [girl who serves the Ability God] ah~"
Alexia was leaving soon, and Julia was supposed to go back together when she left, and she hadn't seen Dolores for a whole day. But Dolores had also sent word from Alexia that Julia could stay on St. George's Street for the last few days.
In order to be safe, King Salhi II will definitely not allow Dolores to go out at will in the past few days, and does not need Julia to serve her in the house, after all, there are still many servants. Staying with Jenkins all the time not only saves the time of running around, but also gives Alexia a reason to visit here at any time.
Julia could only agree.
Tarquin's death should have brought the Three Kings talks to a complete standstill, but the meeting went on as scheduled early Wednesday morning. Although only the representatives of Fidiktri and Hampawo Kingdom appeared, at least the speeches delivered by the two kings together calmed down the haze brought about by the re-opening of the war to a certain extent.
Cheslan's delegation in Nolan did not disband and return home because of the king's death. Not only out of some kind of thought, but the second prince Brill Arecio, who was brought by Salhi II, actually appeared in Wednesday's meeting. But he did not express any opinion in the speeches of the other two kings, nor did he explain to reporters any thoughts on his father's death.
On Wednesday, the newspaper used two full pages to report on the Eastern Front on the second and third pages. Originally, it was Turin's unilateral announcement of revenge, and Fideticelli did not respond. But yesterday evening, Cheslan's army sneaked into the Chichara Forest, which was defended by the Fidetictli Third Army Corps stationed on the eastern defense line, and directly entered the western part of the forest.
So the war started again.
In addition to the war, reports of the southern forest fires that Mr. Black Cat had mentioned appeared in the newspapers. This in itself had nothing to do with Nolan, but at noon on Wednesday, Jenkins heard the surprising news from the church:
"A second Mistborn? In the fires of the southern woods?"
The news comes from the Church of Nature, they have many churches in the virgin rainforest in the southern part of the mainland. Because there are few people in the rainforest, apart from some false god believers, natural believers know the forest best. Before being driven back by the fire, they discovered some strange supernatural phenomena. Following further adventurous investigations, a hand-drawn, lifelike but distorted pencil sketch was sent to Nolan.
After the flickering fire above the forest, a huge indistinct figure is stretching its body. That shadow was blurrier than the giant behind Nolan's thick fog, but it looked even more terrifying.
"We originally only thought that the dense fog around the city could breed children of the mist. We didn't expect that the smoke produced by the forest fire, together with the fog that permeated the whole world, would also give birth to those terrible things."
Miss Bevanna put the sketch back into the file bag with a sad look on her face:
"The child of the mist in the sea of fire is not terrible. Even if the southern parish does not have the conditions of Nolan, but knowing how to deal with that monster, it will not be as terrible as it was when it first appeared. What is really terrible is the fire. We I can't find any way to extinguish it. The cause of this fire is strange. After connecting with the diffuse gray fog, it seems to have gained power from the fog. By the time it notices something is wrong, it is too late."
"Is this fire going to burn the whole world?"
Jenkins made a very bold guess, and he himself knew that it was impossible, after all, the theme of the last page of this era in "The Epic of Time" was "steam" rather than "fire".
PS: Children of the Mist are difficult to deal with, mainly because of the layer of eggs. After breaking the eggs, Miss Bevanna also said that it is not very strong. Therefore, children of the mist in other parts of the world are troublesome, but they are not completely impossible to deal with.
