Although there was no wind in the room, the flame in the fireplace was still swaying gently. It was still winter in Ruen, which seemed to be a whole season behind Nolan.
"When I was chatting with Bishop Parode at noon today, he thought that the war was about to start again."
"The war never ends."
Alexia said:
"Regardless of whether the behavior of the Duke of Antak this time has something to do with the Cheslan royal family, Fidetictli will not let go of such a good opportunity. And what the Duke of Antak has done this time is really too much, Skeleton The sword is the common enemy of mankind... It is almost certain that the church will acquiesce in the Fidetictli Kingdom's use of this as an excuse to formally declare war on Cheslan."
"Then will the Kingdom of Hampavo get involved?"
Jenkins knew Miss Stuart's intelligence network and could easily know these things.
"The Duke of Antak's crimes were exposed yesterday. I don't think Nolan's news has yet entered the city. But I can already guess the decision of the Stuart royal family. Dolores' father, isn't it A king of peace."
"I see."
Jenkins nodded slowly, somewhat melancholy over the cloud of war. He didn't doubt Alexia's judgment at all, in fact he thought so too.
"I really didn't expect that it would be such a trivial matter that caused the war to resume."
"Small things?"
The short lady shook her head and laughed: "Do you think what happened to Nolan yesterday is a trivial matter?"
Jenkins couldn't help being a little speechless. Although there was a lot of movement yesterday and there were many casualties, no god appeared in front of the stage from the beginning to the end, and not even a terrifying sealed subspace evil appeared in the end.
He solved all this without even using his divinity. Although the process was a bit twisted, compared to his previous experiences, this was indeed a trivial matter in Jenkins' mind.
"Let's not talk about this, how is your harvest in the Frozen Tower? Have you found the information you want?"
"Oh, Jenkins, it looks like I underestimated that place."
She said in a regretful tone, but still had that relaxed expression on her face.
"The access that Miss Stuart can apply for can only let me visit the library on the ground floor. Although the books there are also very interesting, what I want is obviously not there. And I only have 12 hours, Couldn't see much at all. I'm really disappointed that I even missed a perfect banquet just to go to the tower...”
The corner of Jenkins' mouth trembled. Of course he knew that Alexia also wanted to attend the dinner on the 28th. But fate is such a joker that if it wasn't for Julia's willingness to help in the end, Jenkins can only hope that Chocolate's last golden hair will make a difference.
"But if that golden cat hair was used on the 28th, Chocolate wouldn't be able to carry that sword back to Evergreen Forest in time yesterday. Thinking about it that way, that's not such a bad thing..."
"Meow~"
The cat yelled a little unhappy. In fact, it was very willing to help Jenkins on the 28th, so that no human woman would invade its territory. Unfortunately, fate messed with the cat...
After this they talked for a while about Miss Stuart's brother, poor Howard Stuart. After that night, he has been imprisoned by Miss Stuart.
In the royal capital, it is absolutely impossible for a prince to disappear "reasonably". So recently, Miss Stuart took him to appear in public every few days, which brought considerable difficulty to the interrogation, because it was necessary to ensure that the little prince's face and ability to move would not be affected.
But the thirteen-year-old boy was not a strong-willed man in general, and it so happened that he had no strong-willed men under his command. Although it is difficult to obtain all the information immediately after half a week of interrogation, at least things about the tree house have been clarified.
"The tree house is helping one of Dolores' elder brothers or elder sisters. Howard doesn't even know who he is as a pawn. He doesn't know why the tree house appears, only that they are very powerful. The group People are very cautious, even if we killed a level 7 gifter that night, there was no follow-up action."
"This is Loen after all, and the number of demigods in the Orthodox Church will not be less than that in the Nolan Diocese."
Jenkins nodded, then asked again:
"Then why does the tree house support Wang/Xuan? By meddling in politics to expand its power? Or for the emblem of the unknown savior?"
"I don't know. Howard Stuart isn't even an out-of-the-box stormtrooper. He can only be regarded as a stinky bastard used to disgust us. He knows very little, but one of them may be of interest to you. value."
"oh?"
He motioned for Alexia to continue.
"The tree house is not only meddling with the affairs of the Kingdom of Hampavo, but the city of Beldiran in the Kingdom of Fidektli, which is facing a change of throne, also has their arrangements. Even in the Kingdom of Cheslan, whose throne is stable, the upper noble There is also a figure in the tree house, and the one next to the Duke of Antak is obviously not the only one."
"It's starting to get more interesting."
Looking at the silent night outside the window, Jenkins whispered.
Stayed at Alexia's until late at night, the two had dinner together and took a walk in the snow to enjoy the night view. This is of course cat slipping in name, but Chocolate has been hiding in Jenkins' clothes, and only occasionally will the cat's head stick out from the gap between the buttons, looking curiously at the night in a foreign country.
It was late at night when I returned to Nolan after kissing Alexia goodbye. Jenkins' body felt a little sore when he wanted to get up because he had been lying in a lying position for too long.
But the cat doesn't seem to be doing anything at all, which may be because it usually looks like lying on the mat and doing nothing.
Chocolate looked a little lively, and Jenkins made some supper for it, then closed his eyes again and went to see Lacourt in the astral world. The cat paced back and forth in front of the fireplace, watching Jenkins quietly out of the corner of his eye, trying to see if he had really left.
Seeing that there was no response to sweeping his face with his tail, Chocolate meowed happily, and then left the house through the small door under the door with cheerful steps.
The kitten shuttled through the city at an extremely fast speed, and soon came to the dense fog surrounding the city. But it just meowed impatiently, then moved on with its tail flicking, and soon saw the giant tree standing in the evergreen forest and the forest from a distance.
