Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 It is obvious that the power of the differential engine is affecting the red accidental deck through the living statue, otherwise it would not make sense that [Steam] appears so frequently.

　　 Under the continuous influence of [Steam Revolution] in the third year, they once again obtained three shared cards [Steam Power] and two [Infrastructure Modification: Steam].

　　 If it weren't for the suffix of [steam], you would know it was a trap, and [Steam Revolution] would help the game the most.

　　 Now, the rules of this treacherous realm have almost been figured out. This is a more traditional treacherous state that tests intelligence and courage. The cards that an individual possesses are determined after entering the treacherous state. Therefore, the key to breaking the game lies in how to play the cards correctly and whether to ask for help from the wax figure.

　　 And Jenkins has a lot of cards due to special reasons, and his companion Miss Xirufu is an ancient elf, and the rare and rare cards have helped a lot. If it is a slyland under ordinary circumstances, this adventure is almost solved, but with the intervention of the differential engine, the rules of the slyland are clearly seen, but it means that the adventure has just started.

　　 "Speaking of which, the person who should be most grateful for this time is the northern princess."

　　 During the intermittent playing cards, the elf did not forget to sigh:

　　 "From the first year of the game, she has been helping us continuously, and even has new cards every year. Even if the number of cards is not large, at least all of them are safe and harmless."

　　 Jenkins also thought that Dolores was a great help to him, and decided to thank Dolores after this incident was over. Thinking of this, he told himself again that he must go out.

　　 In the fourth year, the game is equivalent to one-third of the game. In the first season of this year, Miss Xirufu was quite clever. In responding to the event [Heir’s Crisis], she used the platinum card [Elven Blood], and thus made the kingdom in [Steam] [Steam] Revolution] [Marriage] There is a fourth kind of kingdom influence [Noble Royal Family-Elves].

　　The events of the first season did not contain extraordinary elements. The content of the event was that the two kings had no heirs for a long time. Therefore, disputes broke out among the nobles, which eventually led to a rebellion. And [Elven Blood] one card resolved this incident. After all, the pure blood elves have a long life, and there is no need to determine the heir at this stage.

　　 Of course, solving the incident in this way does not increase the hidden danger, but it increases the probability of the occurrence of negative incidents related to [race], so this is not completely harmless.

　　 The occurrence of three other events this year also allowed Jenkins to basically determine the law of four event cards every year. Combining the events of the previous three years, we can see that "events related to natural disasters", "political events that do not contain extraordinary elements but will affect the rule of the kingdom", and "secret extraordinary events that may cause continuous impact" will definitely occur in a year. The fourth event besides this is random.

　　 The order of appearance of these four types of events in a year is not the same, but they will definitely occur. For example, in the first three years, the first category corresponds to [severe winter] [summer plague] [drought], and the second category corresponds to [coup d'état] [ruby murder] [pirate invasion], which corresponds to the first category The three types are [Golden Autumn] [Black Sect Rumor] and [Remains of the Underworld Kingdom].

　　Summarizing the order looks useless, but it can effectively let Jenkins and Miss Silufu plan the card usage within a year.

　　 The remaining three events in the fourth year proved this idea of ​​Jenkins. The three events are [Heavy Rain Season] [Ghost Circus] [Birth of Genius].

　　[Heavy Rain Season] is a pure natural disaster, because it occurs in the summer, so if it is not resolved, it is very likely to affect the autumn food harvest, which will lead to other disasters. Jenkins has no good way to deal with such large-scale celestial changes. On a small scale, he can still use [Personal Force] and [Call Wind to Call Rain]. But fortunately, the elves have [Elves' Disaster Planning] cards, and there are five.

　　 "This is a compulsory course, you can't graduate if you don't study it. I live in the age of the material world, and disasters are quite common."

　　 She explained this way.

　　【Ghost Circus】is by far the most dangerous event. According to the card introduction, a "wonderful" circus entered the kingdom, and the members of the circus are all undead. If this event cannot be resolved successfully, the [Dead Plague] event must occur within three rounds.

　　 Jenkins and Miss Elf originally thought that losing a few more [personal force] would solve them, but they did not expect that after using a total of seven [personal force], the living statue said something very surprising:

"You successfully defeated every member of the circus, and the ghost circus collapsed. The collapse of the circus released some things suppressed by the circus. Please use any card for each person. I will judge the things that were released. Will it have an impact."

　　 "What was released?"

　　 Jenkins frowned and asked.

　　 "You will not know until the incident is over."

　　 "If I use [Basic Occult Knowledge] immediately, can I immediately know what it is?"

　　 asked Miss Siluf, who is already familiar with the rules, and did not forget to add:

　　 "It is not to use a card to deal with it, but to judge what it is before dealing with it."

　　 "Sorry, basic occult knowledge, it is impossible to know what it is."

　　 The living statue refused very quickly.

　　 So the two were forced to use the cards without knowing any information, because the number of cards left in their hands was also very limited, so they didn't have much choice. Finally, at Jenkins's suggestion, Miss Silufu used [Explorer] again, and Jenkins used [Basic Occult Knowledge].

"Although the card information is the same, everyone’s foundation is different. I have seen some terrible monster information not long ago. Although the content of those information will not reflect the card information, I do know those If the other party dares to play tricks at this stage, I will definitely let him know what the weight of knowledge is."

　　 he said almost threateningly.

　　 The living statue nodded:

"Perennial adventures have increased the female king’s knowledge. She didn’t know what was being released, so she couldn’t stop it, but she realized that it was not an entity, not a spirit body, and that seemed to be evil. Occasional observations made the male king Knowing the existence of some terrifying creatures, because there is no more detailed information, the male king did not immediately know what it was, so he could not stop the thing being released. He can pass another piece of [Basic Occult Knowledge] in the next round. Use and know what it is."

　　 "I know what it is."

　　 Jenkins ignored the living statue, turned his head and said to his companion.

"what is that?"

　　 "The evil thoughts of human nature, the sins hidden in the bottom of my heart. That is the pus that flows out of the evil thoughts of human nature, it is extremely dirty, it is probably [human pus]."

　　 While he said his guess, he looked at the living statue, but the latter did not react at all.

The time of the fourth quarter of the fourth quarter [Birth of a genius] is an event that was directly affected by the released object. The event cannot be resolved, at least one round cannot be resolved. The manifestation of the event is that the kingdom’s interior is in a short season. A large number of geniuses from all walks of life have emerged over time.

　　 On the surface, this is a good thing for the development of the kingdom, but everyone knows this is a trap.

"Through the use of the second [Basic Occult Knowledge], the male king recalled what it was. That is the evil pus of human nature, that is the most despicable aspect of human nature of intelligent creatures. Their release will lead to triggering. The fester of more souls makes more people’s puss flow, but it will also increase the wisdom of the king’s people and enlighten more ideas.”

　　 In addition to the two accidents of [Steam] and one [Poverty Riot] this year, we pieced together a new kingdom influence and hidden dangers, so the summary of the fourth year is quite interesting:

"Let’s start the fourth year’s year-end summary-lose influence [Faith-Earth Church], gain influence [Steam] [Steam] [Noble Royal Family] [Wisdom Kingdom], gain hidden danger [Pus of Man] [Flower of Evil] .

　　 Evaluation: Even if nothing can be stopped, you are still qualified kings.

　　 As a result of the marriage, the male king mastered more knowledge about state management under the instruction of the princesses of neighboring countries. The female king got mysterious enlightenment because of the [Wisdom Kingdom]. "

　　The lost platinum card influence is due to the emergence of [Human Puss], which caused the church to give up staying in the Central Kingdom. The [Wisdom Kingdom] and [Human Puss] are both the influence of events. The former increases the creativity and stability of the kingdom, while the latter is an unexplained time bomb.

[The Flower of Evil] appeared because of the [Poverty Riot] that appeared after the [Rainy Season] in the second season. In the third season, the incident was combined with [Doomsday] and things that the kings did not recognize at the time, forming A new hidden danger [The Flower of Evil].

　　 To put it simply, this incident catalyzed a brand new species of the Central Kingdom. This kind of flower cannot be removed, and it continues to affect the people for a long time, causing the common people to grow evil thoughts, and further affect [Human Pus].

Chapter 2119 Guess the Card

　　 [Human Puss] and [Evil Flower] can not be resolved, but obviously, since this is a [hidden danger], then sooner or later there will be an outbreak. Jenkins quite understands that once it breaks out, it is very likely that human pus will jump out of the card game and appear in the wax museum next to him.

　　 After the end of each year, the black smoke that escapes from the 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 calamity beast has no definite entity at all, it is more like a curse and a plague. From the perspective of Theory Mountain, human pus has never been sealed, and every intelligent creature is its host. But the outbreak and the unexploded state are completely two things.

　　 Once human pus erupts in the wax museum and the beast of calamity takes shape, Jenkins is pretty sure that he will never win.

　　 But the danger is not only in [Human Puss]. From the beginning to the present, the game has been consciously or unintentionally guiding the development of the kingdom to the direction of [Steam]. Jenkins has not forgotten that his main purpose is to pass through the treacherous realm. Therefore, he has a strong hunch that the more powerful the steam industry will 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 pitfalls in this game, and both must be resolved in order for Jenkins to continue.

　　 "So, not only do we have to gradually eliminate the influence [Steam Revolution] and three [Steam], so do we want to find a way to combat the two hidden dangers?"

　　 After Jenkins told his thoughts, Miss Elf concluded, but looked a little depressed:

　　 "It is very difficult to solve one thing, we even have to solve two things."

"The outbreak of hidden dangers will definitely have targeted events. It is impossible to directly erupt without warning. Therefore, to deal with [Human Puss], you only need to pay attention to each event. The most troublesome is actually steam, even if we really defeated it. A beast of calamity, but if it cannot continue to enter the next treacherous realm, it will be useless even if it defeats a powerful enemy."

　　 Through the influence of [Marriage] in the fourth year, Jenkins once again obtained a [Maintain Stability] from the princess. His soul is special, so he is not affected by human pus. But Miss Elf was affected. Fortunately, this year was only positively affected, and thus obtained a somewhat inexplicable card [Flower Whisperer].

　　According to the explanation of the living statue, the influence of [Wisdom Kingdom] will enhance the inspiration and thinking of all lives in the country. From this, you may know some knowledge that you didn't know before, so it's normal to suddenly become a [flower whisperer].

　　 "Listening to this explanation, I feel that maybe next year, our kingdom will really be over."

Miss Elf is a bit pessimistic, but her thoughts are actually correct. If everyone in the kingdom may suddenly get knowledge that they don’t know, then even if there is an accident that destroys the kingdom in the first quarter of next year, Jenkins will never Not surprised.

　　Compared with the fourth year when accidents were infested, the fifth year was relatively peaceful. The four events of this year are [Lunar Eclipse Day] [Rampaging Bandits] [Locust Plague] and [Flower Blossom Festival].

Among them, [Lunar Eclipse Day], [Rogue Rogue] and [Locust Plague] are all events that can be easily resolved, but under the influence of the hidden danger [Flower of Evil], even if [Rogue Rogue] is resolved, it will still appear in the country. Cultists who worship the doomsday. These people are not enough to pose a hidden danger, but they will also increase the probability of some negative events.

　　 The last [Flower Blossom Festival] is not the kingdom’s festival, but the day when the [Evil Flower] will bloom. If it is not prevented, once that strange flower blooms in winter, then the first season of the next year will inevitably erupt [Collective Illusion-Premonition of Doom].

　　 Fortunately, the elven blood of [Noble Royal Family] has increased the power of the cards [Planting Experience] played by Jenkins and Elves. There is only one card for Jenkins, but Miss Siluf has three cards.

　　 The four cards worked together to successfully prevent the [Flower of Evil] from blooming. And this plant decayed after the flowering season, so the hidden danger of [Evil Flower] successfully disappeared this season, and the hidden danger [Doomsday] reappeared. But the roots and stems of the Flower of Evil are all poisonous, because they didn't realize this and prevented it. After the old hidden danger disappeared, a new hidden danger [the trend of hallucinogens] appeared.

In each season of this year, there were accidents of red cards. Three [Steam], two [Steam] and one [Steam Revolution] that existed together, together produced a new kingdom influence [Steam Technology] tide】.

　　 This is not over yet, the [Steam Tech Wave] flashed on the top of the desktop, and it resonated strongly with the influence of [Wisdom Kingdom]. Two influential cards fused together before Jenkins' eyes, and then a brand new unique card was born.

　　 This is a pure golden card. According to the living statue, the top 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 appeared. Because you are powerful, even if the assassination is successful, you will not die, but once the assassination is successful, you must lose half of the cards in your hand."

　　 If you lose a card at this time, it almost means that starting from the ninth year, Jenkins will fall into a situation where no license is available.

　　 "Then how do I stop the assassination? I still have a few [personal force]."

　　 Jenkins asked.

"No, because it is an assassination, the assassin will not confront you head-on. The other party hijacked your wife, the princess of the North, and committed suicide after setting a trap. Now, you have to drink one of two glasses of wine to save you. Princess, if you don’t save it, although the assassination fails, the influence [marriage] will disappear. One of the two glasses of wine is poisoned wine, and the other is normal wine..."

　　 "Wait, why did the assassin do this?"

　　 "Because you are powerful, the assassin can't force you to the condition of defeat, so the game is simplified to a gambling on luck."

　　 The living statue draws a red accidental card:

"Choose. The content of this card can only have an effect that is 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 It will drink poisoned wine and the assassination is successful. In addition, the guessed card is invalidated after being used, it will not be re-added to the deck, and it will not produce any effect."

Chapter 2120: Abnormal Sound

　　 "Poisonous wine? No, I am not poisonous."

　　 Jenkins emphasized.

　　 "So even if you drink poisoned alcohol, you will not die, you will only lose the card. Please choose."

　　 "Okay, but since you said that after this card is guessed, the game will be removed and it won't work, then this card is definitely in our favor."

　　 The living statue nodded and turned over the card-[Road to Victory]. The effect of this card is that Jenkins and the Elf directly win the game, and this card is the only one in a deck.

　　 "The other party must have done it deliberately."

　　 Miss Xirufu said to Jenkins angrily.

　　 "If there is a chance, before leaving this treacherous realm, I must let the guy who played cards and cheat know the consequences of doing so."

　　 Jenkins responded in a low voice.

　　 After the end of the fifth year, the situation is much simpler. The kingdom's influence is [Steam Kingdom], [Noble Royal Family] and [Marriage], and the hidden dangers are [Human Puss] [Doomsday Theory] and [Hyllusic Potion Trend].

　　 Among them, with the exception of [Noble Royal Family] and [Human Puss], all the other three items will generate new cards at the end of the year. The new cards are [Infrastructure Modification (Steam)] [Unexpected Steam Technology Inspiration] [Maintain Stability] (two) and [Out of Control].

　　 The first four cards do not need to be explained, the last one is a card that must be played in the next year. If it stays in the hands, it will add new hidden dangers to the kingdom in the seventh year.

　　Of course, the target of [Out of Control] is not the two kings, but the people of this country.

　　 The effect of playing cards is to greatly increase the possibility of the [Kingdom Riot] event before the end of the game. Therefore, Jenkins discussed with Miss Elf and decided to play this card again in the fourth quarter of the sixth year.

　　 The end of the fifth year's year-end summary means that for the fifth time, black smoke and dust wafted out of the desktop, which adhered to the surface of the surrounding wax figures. It is more like the wax figure absorbing the black smoke and dust than it is attached. After all, the surface of the wax figure is spotless and no black marks can be seen.

　　 "Can you pause the game? I want to take a break."

　　 Jenkins suddenly asked after the year-end summary. Judging from the expression, the living statue did not want to agree, but limited by the basic rules here, it had to agree to Jenkins’ requirements.

　　 "Look here."

　　 The two dared not leave the light range of the candlestick floating on the table, but found the nearest wax figure, and Jenkins pointed to the wax figure's neck.

　　 Miss Xirufu resisted the instinctive fear of those wax figures and stepped forward, reluctantly saw a crack in the neck of the wax figure:

　　 "The wax figure is damaged?"

　　 "No, it's not that simple. If you look carefully at that gap, is there something squirming?"

　　 Now that Jenkins asked, she stretched her head to observe. The gap is already very thin, and it is almost impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye. Even if the race is an elf, Miss Silufu took a lot of effort to barely see the details.

　　 There is something in the small crack on the neck of the wax statue. It looks like a black viscous liquid, which is constantly squirming through the cracks. It wants to flow out, but it can't flow out as if it is restricted.

　　 The more I observed the black liquid in the tiny crack, the more Miss Silufu felt that she couldn't leave her sight. It doesn't look scary, it's not scary, it's not even attractive. But the elf thinks that what he sees is the most satisfying thing.

　　 She is very calm inside, and her thinking is normal. She just wants to touch them and merge with them. Just as soon as he stretched his hand forward, Jenkins grabbed his hand:

"look into my eyes."

　　 He said, the elf turned her head naturally and looked at the faintly purple eyes. After a few seconds, she gasped:

　　 "Oh, what on earth did I want to do just now? The black one is..."

　　 "Human pus, I am afraid, it is not far from the outbreak."

　　Like most of the slyland, this slyland with the theme of the card game in the wax museum is also small. Although the densely standing wax figures have increased the items that can be observed here, in fact, it can be seen roughly in tens of minutes.

　　 If the direction that Jenkins and Miss Elf face when playing cards is the forward direction, then the forward and reverse directions of the wax museum have a real limit, that is, the wall, and the left and right directions extend into the invisible darkness.
