Although the wax figures in the wax museum only standardize the names of people, the occupation can be easily distinguished from the clothing, so it is not very difficult to find generals and the like who can deal with the situation now. But Jenkins still shook his head:
"Do you think I'm a fool? There's something wrong with these statues."
He looked at the cards in his hand:
"Really, I hope there won't be a second [border disturbance]."
With that said, he threw out a new card [Marriage]. He didn't need to think about which of his life experiences the appearance of this card was related to.
"Is it enough?"
He asked, and the living statue stood still for almost a second before nodding. Immediately, [Marriage] ascended to the sky and lined up with [Steam Breakthrough], becoming the new influence of the kingdom.
"You married the princess of the North Kingdom, and successfully got the two countries to sit at the negotiating table and resolved the border dispute. Within 30 rounds, the probability of territorial and economic disputes with the North Kingdom has decreased, and [marriage] has become a new influence. "
"You really married the princess?"
The elf on the side asked in a low voice, she was curious, so Jenkins squeezed out a voice from between his teeth:
"It's just a fiancee, we plan to get married next summer. But be careful, I'm not eating soft food, do you understand this word? Also, I just married a princess, so there is only one [marriage], if Nanguo If we want to fight with us, or there is a large-scale rebellion in the country, then I really have nothing to do."
Then came the third season, and just as the living statue looked at the black card, the red "accident" pile slid down another card, which would not be revealed until the end of the round.
"Unknown era, the first year, the third season, [Golden Autumn]. This is the first harvest season. Unknown disasters lurk in the kingdom's wheat fields. You have two seasons to solve this trouble. If the second If it is still unresolved when the second quarter of the year comes, then the event will have a follow-up development. Due to the arrival of the harvest season, there will be no events such as [Famine] in the four rounds."
It threw the card to the center of the table, and after both Jenkins and Miss Elf saw it clearly, the black card also lifted into the air. But unlike [Steam] and [Marriage], the two influences are different, the black cards face up.
Of course, if Jenkins and Miss Elf don't manage to fix it, then maybe new negative influences will be lifted into the air as a result.
"I'm here this time."
Before Jenkins could speak, the elf said. She took two of her cards and threw them in the center of the table, mixing them with the others:
"[Farmland inspection] and [Basic knowledge of elves], I know these, can I find unknown hidden dangers?"
After finishing speaking, he explained to Jenkins:
"Before I became a ranger, I was a wheat ranger in my hometown for a few years."
Jenkins wanted to ask how old the other party was, but because he had a lesson in this regard, he refrained from asking.
"You have discovered danger. In the golden autumn, strange creatures that rely on the joy of harvest as food have appeared in your country. Please choose whether to play the card, which will determine your understanding of the detected monsters, and will also determine The situation of the next battle."
"I'll play the cards."
The elf said again, picking two identical cards and throwing them out:
"[Basic mysticism]."
The description of the mastery ability in the card is very vague, so it doesn't explain too detailed things.
"You discovered that it wasn't an entity, not even a spirit. It was a piece of information, attached to the world, devouring the joy of the harvest. Thanks to the detailed information, you issued a decree canceling the Harvest Festival, thus killing the monsters and canceling the harvest festival. The battle link. However, due to the cancellation of the festival, the people of the kingdom are dissatisfied, and the probability of cards appearing in events such as [civil uprising] has increased.”
The floating black cards fell to the table, representing the elimination of hidden dangers.
"So… "
The living statue was about to turn over the red "accident," but Jenkins interrupted it:
"I still have to play my cards, [Compulsory Education] [Sage Teachings]..."
"You have resolved the incident, only the cards for the incident can be played."
The living statue stopped Jenkins, thereby blocking Jenkins' whimsy. If it does not stop Jenkins, Jenkins is confident that a complete reform of the kingdom will be achieved before the fifth year arrives.
"Unknown Era, the first year, the third season, the Kingdom ushered in a great harvest. Although the grand harvest celebration was canceled, you also eliminated the terrible enemy. At the same time, the Kingdom Academy of Sciences successfully realized the miniaturization of the steam engine, and steam technology once again Pushed to another peak. Until the end of the game, the occurrence probability of all event cards related to steam technology has increased."
The [Steam] in his hand rose into the air again, and lined up with the first [Steam].
See neither Jenkins nor Miss Elf comment on this, Season 4 kicks off:
"Unknown era, the first year, the fourth season, [Severe Winter]. The arrival of winter makes the temperature drop rapidly. This winter is extremely cold and difficult. Due to the existence of steam technology, even if you fail to solve this incident, Negative effects such as [reduced population net birth rate] will not appear after the end of this season."
"Is there anything you can do?"
Jenkins asked Miss Elf, who shook her head regretfully:
"The forest where I live never has a cold winter."
"Okay then, my side..."
He didn't have a good counter card in his hand, so he could only throw out the only one [Infrastructure Transformation]:
"Only this one."
The appearance of this card is not because of his knowledge, but most likely because he successfully promoted the installation of street lights in the city last winter. Otherwise, just knowing the importance of infrastructure is not enough to create this card.
It's just that after the card was thrown onto the table by him, the two [Steam] floating in the air actually cast light on it. The card description of [Infrastructure Renovation] has been changed to [Infrastructure Renovation—Steam Pipe Laying].
"Influence play."
Since the red surprise didn't show up this time, Living Statue said, it announced the results of the season directly:
"Unknown Era, the first year, the fourth season, an unexpected cold winter swept across the central part of the continent, but thanks to the active promotion of the king and the efforts of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in this winter, you basically realized the laying of steam pipelines in major cities. Although it is not popularized All over the country, people still die because of the cold winter, but people know that the king is working hard, so the king's reputation has not been affected."
After speaking, he did not start the fifth round, but put his hands together and looked at the two people on the opposite side of the table:
"Now begins the year-end summary of the first year - gained influence [steam] [steam] [marriage], did not get [hidden danger]. Evaluation: Even if the death of the people cannot be saved, you are still qualified kings.
Due to the marriage, the male king mastered more knowledge about state management under the teaching of the princess of the neighboring country. The female king is blessed by the earth as she tours the fields. "
Two rays of light flew to Jenkins and Elf respectively, and they both got brand new cards after the year-end summary.
The cards belonging to Jenkins are two [Maintenance of Stability] and one [Military Command], while Miss Syluff only has one card, but it is more useful than Jenkins' three combined [Earth Church].
The other cards they have mastered are all white, but this [Earth Church] is actually platinum, and it is different just by looking at it, but Miss Elf looks a little unhappy:
"In my time, the Church of the Earth was the main competitor of elves' preaching."
Although she didn't say which one the elves believed in at the time, Jenkins could probably guess what was going on.
"This is a strange place, even if you use the power of heretics, it doesn't matter."
Jenkins comforted, and then asked the living statue:
"What's with the black smoke?"
After the year-end summary, some black smoke drifted from the table to every corner of the wax museum. The black smoke and dust adhered to the surface of the wax figure. Although it did not change the color of the wax figure, Jenkins could feel that the wax figure had indeed changed.
"Your management of the country has both positive and negative influences on the people of the kingdom. The positive influences condense into your new power, and the negative influences turn into these black smoke."
"What are these soot?"
Jenkins asked again.
"The negative power in your heart, you can understand it as anything."
Jenkins didn't ask any more, this sentence directly verified his initial conjecture, the conjecture about this strange situation.
Then came the second year of the Unknown Era. In the four rounds, the events of [Drought], [Scorching Sun], [Pirate Invasion] and [Underground Kingdom Ruins] occurred respectively. The first event was solved by the platinum card [Earth Church], and a new influence [Faith-Earth Church] emerged, and the second event was another mysterious event, but it was resolved by Jenkins' three [Basic Mystery Knowledge] solve.
[Pirate Invasion] was even simpler. After using the only [Military Command], it even had a link with the influence of [Marriage]. As a result, the kingdom of the two and the North Kingdom together wiped out the group of pirates.
As for the [Underground Kingdom Ruins], it is a little more complicated. After using the card [Earth Church], the probability of a series of mysterious and ancient events that were not easy to appear increased, and this event only appeared.
The living statue made it very clear that it doesn't matter if the [Underground Kingdom Ruins] incident is not resolved, but it will definitely lead to bad results. Miss Syluf was worried that there would be an event like [Underground Invasion] in the future, and Jenkins was worried that monsters would be "refreshed" in the ruins, or thieves would bring out weird things from it.
So I took the initiative to solve the last incident of the year. This incident cost the two a total of 14 cards, which were two [Basic Mystery Knowledge], two [Alchemy] and one [Personal Cards] of Jenkins. Force], one piece of [Stargazing], Miss Syluff's three pieces of [Basic Mystery Knowledge], three pieces of [Ancient Knowledge] and two pieces of [Explorer].
