The red accidental card [Elf Secret Treasure], because of the platinum influence [Noble Royal Family], the probability of an accident increased. The kingdom obtained a treasure made by the elves. But this treasure is not a weapon, or even a physical substance, but a ray of "wind".
[The Wind of Freedom of the Elves], the direction the wind blows is the direction the soul yearns for. This is the description on the card. As for the function of this secret treasure, after using it, it will ensure that any events related to natural disasters that occur within a year will be automatically resolved without using any other cards in the hand.
For Miss Jenkins and Miss Syluff, who currently have insufficient cards, this card is of course quite good. But Jenkins didn't plan to use it, because the [Elf Secret Treasure] event didn't directly get the wind, but Miss Elf used the card of [Star Magic Sword] once, and got it through adventure.
During the game where she used the magic sword "Adventure", she made the movement of looking up to listen again, and then heard the voice of the strange woman again. Although it is impossible to tell who the owner of this voice is, it is certain that it is the same person as the first time:
"The three powerful symbols we need to prepare are not real symbols, but symbols in the cards in the game."
This time the information was clearer than last time, the first time it was only a few words, but this time it was a very clear sentence. According to Miss Syluf's description, the speaker was definitely a young woman, and she spoke standard Elvish language.
She was sure that the speaker should be only a mortal, so Jenkins locked the speaker in one fell swoop:
"Sigrid."
As for being able to get such a clear "revelation" this time, Jenkins attributed it to his incautious decision just now, that is, he wanted to tell the female king about the knowledge of the Electric Age. The "earthquake" that occurred at that time was by no means a simple earthquake, and the stable space may also change because of it.
It is precisely for this reason that the transmission of external information has become easier.
As for the three elf symbol cards, it is actually quite difficult to obtain them. First of all, [Elf's Wind of Freedom] definitely counts. Although the [Star Demon Sword] was forged by the elf forging technique, it seems that it cannot be regarded as a symbol of elves. Therefore, in the next three years, they must find a way to obtain at least two other treasures related to elves.
Although I don't know what kind of help the outside world wants to provide, in general, it is better than nothing.
In the seventh year, there is no new influence, but a new hidden danger [unstable public opinion].
This hidden danger, together with [Doomsday Theory] and [Human Pus], increases the probability of certain types of event cards, and at the beginning of the eighth year, the cards of [Terrible Times] will appear.
This card is a compound event card. The event refers to that with the development of the kingdom's steam industry, the lives of the poor living in the bottom society have not been improved. The accumulation of a lot of resentment, anger and tragedies constitutes the [Era of Tragedy] that began in the eighth year. If this incident is not resolved, the kingdom will gain hidden dangers [Era of Misery], and at the same time, the occurrence rate of [riots] [general strikes], etc. will increase again.
"How do you feel that we have become villains instead? Obviously we have been helping them all the time, why did we become like this?"
Miss Syluff did not understand at all.
"Sometimes things don't go the way people do, not to mention the guy across from us, trying to steer things. It's not our fault, and that seems to be the reality. "
Jenkins briefly talked about the current situation of this era at the end of the eighteenth century, and then concluded:
"It is guiding the game, making the kingdom of the game go to the same situation as the end of the eighteenth century. [Steam Kingdom] has absorbed so many [Steam], I doubt that at the end of the tenth century, it will directly merge Come out with the [Difference Engine] card. And the hidden danger centered on [Human Pus] will make the wax figures around us explode with the curse of Human Pus."
These are two completely different traps inside and outside the game. This is not even speculation, but the current reality.
"Then what are we going to do? Do we completely hope for outside help?"
"Of course not. There are still three years left in the game, but I probably have an idea. This strange place corresponds to the identity of the savior [uncrowned king]. The difference machine hopes that through my failure, I can prove that I am not a qualified human king at all. , since that's the case..."
The incident of [Terrible Times] could not be reasonably resolved in the end, and simply [Maintaining Stability] was useless to this situation, so the hidden danger [Tragic Times] appeared after this round.
After that, the three hidden dangers [Terrible Times], [Lessonogenic Potion Trend], and [Unstable People's Hearts] merged together to form an even more terrifying hidden danger [Cult Rampant].
This card is more terrifying than [Rumor of the Black Cult]. The rumor of the Black Cult is just a sect, while [Rampant Cult] refers to the emergence of an unknown number of cults in the kingdom, and they cannot be cleared.
However, [Cult Rampant] did not stay in the hidden danger, but was directly absorbed by [Human Pus], and the Human Pus changed accordingly. After this fusion, apart from the unchanged Doomsday Theory, after repeated fusions of hidden danger cards, there is only one [Human Pus - Early Outbreak] left.
The human pus in the early stage of the outbreak will not affect it, but once the next stage of the outbreak begins, it means that things are irreparable, and the game will end directly.
"This is going to be bad."
Jenkins whispered.
The second season of the eighth year is the natural disaster event [solar eclipse]. Unlike the previous [lunar eclipse day], [solar eclipse] reacted with [doomsday theory], but before worse consequences occurred, The stack of [Maintain Stability] in Jenkins' hands finally played a role, eliminating the public reaction caused by the special celestial phenomenon.
The incident in the third season is a political incident [Silver Cod Diplomacy Incident], which was an accident caused by the import of silver cod in the South Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom, and was successfully suppressed by Jenkins.
The last event of the year was the extraordinary event [Devil's Game]. After listening to the description, Jenkins confirmed that it had nothing to do with the elves. It was impossible for him to have the chance to obtain the elf's secret treasure, so he and Miss Elf used force to solve it directly.
The three red accident cards that appeared this year were all [Steam], and they were all seemingly useless and absorbed by the influence of [Steam Kingdom].
In other words, in the eighth year, in fact, Jenkins and Miss Elf did not make any progress that was beneficial to the game, but made the situation even more precarious. There are only eight rounds left, and if they don't do something, then this might really be the end of the adventure.
