Neither [Human Pus] nor [Evil Flower] can be resolved, and obviously, since this is a [hidden danger], sooner or later there will be a day when it will erupt. Jenkins is quite aware that once it erupts, the human pus is very likely to jump out of the game and appear in the wax museum beside him.
After each year ends, the black smoke and dust that escapes from the card table is most likely the powder of [Human Pus]. Although it only appeared in the game in the fourth year, it probably has already begun to affect everything here.
This beast of disaster has no definite entity at all, it is more like a curse and a plague. From a theoretical point of view, human pus has never been sealed, and every intelligent creature is its host. But the outbreak and the non-explosion state are completely different things.
Jenkins was pretty sure he couldn't win once the human ichor had exploded in the wax museum and allowed the Calamity Beast to take shape.
But the danger is not limited to [Human Pus]. From the beginning to the present, the game has been guiding the development of the kingdom to the direction of [Steam] intentionally or unintentionally. Jenkins has not forgotten that his main purpose is to pass through the strange world, so he has a strong premonition that the increasingly powerful steam industry will definitely give him a "surprise" in the ninth or tenth year, thus destroying all the previous ones in one fell swoop. s hard work.
In other words, there are actually two traps in this game, and both of them must be resolved before Jenkins can continue.
"So, now we not only need to gradually eliminate the influence [Steam Revolution] and the three [Steam] cards, but also find a way to deal with the two hidden dangers?"
After Jenkins shared her thoughts, Miss Elf concluded, looking a little downcast:
"It's very difficult to solve one thing, and we even have to solve two."
"The outbreak of hidden dangers will definitely have targeted events, and it is impossible to directly erupt without warning. Therefore, to deal with [Human Pus], we only need to pay attention to every event. The most troublesome thing is actually steam, even if we really beat it Calamity beast, but if you can't continue to enter the next delusion, then even defeating a powerful enemy is useless."
In the fourth year, through the influence of [Marriage], Jenkins got a [Maintain Stability] from the princess again. His soul is special, so he was not affected by the human pus. But Miss Elf was affected. Fortunately, she was only affected positively this year, and thus obtained a somewhat inexplicable card [Flower Whisperer].
According to the explanation of the living statue, the influence of [Kingdom of Wisdom] will strengthen the inspiration and thinking of all life within the country. From this, I may know some knowledge that I didn't know before, so it's normal to suddenly become a [Flower Whisperer].
"Listening to its explanation, I feel that maybe next year, our kingdom will really be over."
Miss Elf is a little pessimistic, but her thinking is actually correct. If everyone in the kingdom can suddenly acquire knowledge that they do not know, then even if there is an accident that destroys the kingdom in the first season of the next year, Jenkins will not be able to do so at all. Not surprised.
Compared with the unexpected fourth year, the fifth year is relatively peaceful. The four events of this year are [Day of Lunar Eclipse] [Rampant Thieves] [Plague of Locusts] and [Festival of Blossoms].
Among them, [Eclipse Day], [Thieves Rampage], and [Locust Plague] are all events that can be easily resolved, but under the influence of the hidden danger [Flower of Evil], even if [Thieves Rampage] is solved, there will still be problems in the country. Doomsday cultists. These people are not enough to constitute a hidden danger, but they will also increase the probability of some negative events.
The last [Flower Festival] is not a festival of the kingdom, but the day when the [Flower of Evil] will bloom. If it is not stopped, once the strange flowers bloom in winter, [collective hallucination-a premonition of doom] will inevitably erupt in the first quarter of the next year.
Fortunately, the elven blood of [Noble Royal Family] increased the power of the card [Planting Experience] played by Jenkins and the elves respectively. Jenkins has only one card, but Miss Syluff has three.
Under the joint action of the four cards, the [Flower of Evil] was successfully prevented from blooming. And this kind of plant decayed after the flowering season, so the hidden danger of [Flower of Evil] successfully disappeared in this season, and the hidden danger [Doomsday Theory] reappeared. But the roots and stalks of the Flower of Evil are all poisonous, because they didn't realize it and stop it. After the old hidden dangers disappeared, new hidden dangers [the trend of hallucinogenic drugs] appeared.
In every season of this year, there were accidents of red cards. Three [Steam] cards, two [Steam] cards and one [Steam Revolution] cards together created a new Kingdom influence [Steam Technology] tide].
It's not over yet, [Steam Technology Tide] flickered above the desktop, and strongly resonated with the influence of [Wisdom Kingdom]. The two influence cards merged before Jenkins' eyes, and then, a brand new unique card was born.
This is a pure golden card, and according to the living statue, the top-level influence was born—[Steam Kingdom].
And the last red accident card was aimed solely at the male king, that is, Jenkins' [Assassin].
"The rise of the kingdom has attracted a lot of attention, so this assassination occurred. Because you are powerful, even if the assassination is successful, you will not die, but once the assassination is successful, you must discard half of the cards in your hand."
If the cards were dropped at this point, it would pretty much mean that Jenkins would be unlicensed at the start of Year 9.
"So how do I stop the assassination? I still have a few cards of [Personal Force]."
Jenkins asked.
"No, because it is an assassination, the assassin will not confront you head-on. The other party kidnapped your wife, the princess of the North Kingdom, and committed suicide after setting a trap. Now, you must drink one of the two glasses of wine to save you." Princess, if you don't save her, even though the assassination fails, the influence [marriage] will disappear. One of the two glasses of wine is poisonous wine, and the other is normal wine... "
"Wait, why did the assassin do that?"
"Because of your strength, the assassin can't force you to the condition that you must lose, so the game is simplified to bet on luck."
The living statue draws a red surprise card:
"Choose, the content of this card can only be completely beneficial or completely harmful to you. Please guess whether it is beneficial or harmful. If the guess is successful, you will not drink poisonous wine and the assassination fails; if the guess fails, then He will drink poisoned wine, and the assassination will be successful. In addition, the guessed card will be invalid after use, and will not be added to the deck again, nor will it produce any effect."
