Joel looked at the parchment in his hand, a rare look of fear.

When he went home, he didn't just hand over a watch to his master, he told the watch in front of his teammates for a purpose, and there was naturally no need to tell others about anything else.

For example, if you write on one of these letters, you will be able to write on the other.

He gave it to Roth on the grounds that he wanted to know the master's story for the first time, but secretly he still had the intention that he could use it to ask for help when he was in case, and he didn't dare to say it clearly, what if he broke the master's heart?

But he didn't expect that his master's first adventure would turn into such a terrible accident, that Thrando was a true madman!

If you take a wrong step anywhere in between, Roth may not come back, so how can Joel not be afraid?

In the letter, Roth also truthfully informed Joel of the two hallucinations he experienced, but he still behaved as unconcerned......

The relationship between his second master and his master, Joel is not easy to intervene, and can only rely on the "two" to solve it by themselves.

But what is the second master doing again, is it related to some arrangements of the [Past School]......

Even more incomprehensible is the big bang that can't be stopped.

According to what Thrando said when he confessed to Roth, the middle-aged priest should have died when he blew himself up the second time, and Thrando was actually eyeing [Telxiu], a low-born but powerful spirit, destroying the illusion and killing the middle-aged priest by the way.

But I didn't expect that middle-aged priest to survive the loss of control of the legendary power!

Not only survived, he dragged [Telxiu] to death, so that [Telxiu] died fifty-two times, it is unreasonable!

This time she poked out such a big basket, and Thrando also felt a little overwhelmed, so she absconded with two accomplices that day, and now she doesn't know where she went......

In the end, Roth said in the letter that he didn't know what to do next, so he had to find a way to improvise.

Joel couldn't give any good advice, because the situation was so chaotic right now.

At least we must first understand why the middle-aged priest was able to survive to that extent, in case he is still not dead now, it is not impossible to seek revenge on Roth in the future.

After making up his mind, Joel walked to the church where Voss was.

——

"You're the merchant Roth?" asked a Adamantite-level adventurer with three translucent Douqi swords floating behind him.

It is inevitable that the relevant personnel will be interrogated if something so big happens, but Roth is not nervous.

The fact that the pocket watch couldn't hide the information that it was a smoke bomb deliberately released by Joel, and the actual method of cracking it had nothing to do with strength.

But as soon as this smoke bomb is released, no one will think about other ways to see through it.

Having said that, it doesn't mean that Roth's current situation is much better, he can participate in that commission because of Thrando's guarantee, and now that such a big thing has happened, and Thrando has absconded because of his weak heart, Roth has become the focus of care.

"Ah, I am. "It's the first time I've seen a Adamantite-level adventurer, and I'm a little nervous.

These people would have been called legends hundreds of years ago, but because the blessing of the true gods greatly enhanced the potential of human beings, making it relatively common for people to reach the top of their strength, in order to prevent legends from becoming rotten streets, these talents retreated to the level of adamantite under the new standard.

"I have read your testimony, and you have nothing to hide from your standpoint, and I did not interrogate you personally because I did not trust you. Speaking of this, the Adamantite level smiled, "As for why I came, you actually have a number in your heart, right?"

"Ah, yes, because of my name. Roth was a little embarrassed, "I know it's a bit embarrassing, but you can't just ask me to change my name because of this......"

"Hey, hey. "But this doesn't matter, I've already confirmed it with my own eyes, and I guess you won't get into any trouble in the future because of your name." ”

"Thank you, sir. Roth was overjoyed, and then asked with some caution, "But it is rude to always address sir, may I have the privilege of knowing your name?"

"What? Take the opportunity to get in touch? I'm still a little famous, don't you think it's rude when you don't recognize me?" The adventurer tried to make a face, but sure enough, he still didn't feel that it was suitable for him, "Forget it, my name is Duchem Lee, my 'Li' is the 'Li' of the Qin Chinese character, not Lee, we are companions in always having to explain our names." ”

After introducing himself, Duchem reached out to shake Roth's hand.

Roth muttered a little in his heart: A Adamantite level is a bit too much even if it is approachable, right?

——

In a secret room surrounded by darkness and with only a desk in the middle that could be seen, Juan Er was anxiously sorting out information.

On the same day, two major events occurred in the United Kingdom.

One is about the great gaffe of the church, the collective defection of the [pastists].

The [Hero] Young Sword Master who even tried to murder everyone before they defected!

In the eyes of the royal family, this is a bad move for those who defect.

The fact that the Church is one of the spiritual pillars of the people should have caused the people to fall into a great panic, and whatever the true purpose of the [Pastists] was, this chaos would have greatly facilitated them.

But now, the panic has been successfully transformed into the anger of the same enemy.

【Hero】Joel is the best son/brother/lover that many commoners and even nobles have ever had, and hurting him is enough to take away their sanity from many fans.

Although the assassination of the [Pastorists] has now been discovered and solved in advance by Joel himself, it will be the same even if Joel is actually killed.

Joel himself is indeed a true genius, but in the previous hundred years, even without such a genius, there would always be [heroes] in the United Kingdom, and [heroes'] victories, defeats and even deaths were all things that could be exploited, and the United Kingdom was so professional in this regard after hundreds of years of development.

Although the remnants of the Church are warned that the true purpose of the Pastists is the New Celestial Realm, ......

Can the New Heavenly Realm continue?

After such a civil strife in the church, the trust of the royal family (especially the Qin and Han people and the dark people) in the church has to be said to have greatly declined, and if the new heavenly realm itself has become an empty talk, then the identity of the future sword god of Yoel will naturally become a joke.

This also creates new problems.

In the past, the kingdom would not choose to let a true genius become a [hero], a real genius could become a general who led the army, or a minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition, but they could not be a [hero], because if that reputation was matched with real strength, it would produce enough energy to threaten the status of the royal family.

Some mid-level personnel once said: "The hero we are looking for is the real thing, how lucky!"

Hmph, that's superficial.

In fact, the royal family is still wondering who first came together with the church, and made an unauthorized decision to send the [Bandit Daughter] teammate to Yoel.

However, the identity of Yoel [Hero] can finally be acquiesced, mainly because of the plan of the New Celestial Realm.

If he is qualified to become a god, then let him go, no one can envy this, as long as it does not threaten the interests of the royal family.

But now, the situation has changed completely.

As far as Juan El has confirmed, there are already three different conspiracies against Joel that have entered the preparatory stage, and there are eight that cannot be confirmed, and it is of course impossible to hide it from her completely...... I wanted to say that, but the assassin who gave Joel a watch slapped her in the face, making her feel ashamed.

As for the church, there is no way, no matter how she is, she can't put her hand into the church!

In the end, it was Raft who came to the rescue of Joel!

Even though Raft claims that Yoel doesn't really need him to save him, even if his ability to play a role is completely accidental, Juan still feels ashamed.

"Fortunately", there was another major event that involved the attention of the royal family, which left the three conspiracies in the preparation stage.

That was the Big Bang in Oscar City.

Strictly speaking, it was not Oscar City that was bombed, but the outer contaminated area.

There are too few clues about this matter, almost all the troops who went out to fight were wiped out, and only one team survived, considering Liu Yuan's special identity, it was really a blessing in misfortune that he could survive.

But Liu Yuan's testimony could not explain the confusion at all.

The army captured a fallen city that was once called the White Eagle Fortress and found an unpurified village with a description that was very similar to the trap that the Pastists had set for Yolb, and the army was unable to handle it, as they issued a risky commission due to lack of manpower - and so far it was normal.

After Liu Yuan and the others arrived at the village, the village changed at a very fast speed, and a large number of weaker people disappeared, following the advice of the adventurer, Liu Yuan adopted the brute force method, and then the village really collapsed, and the soldiers were seriously injured - this part is a bit strange, but it is acceptable, because it is exactly the same strategy as Raft.

But the rest of the story is completely illogical.

After Liu Yuan and the others destroyed the village, they found that the mastermind behind the scenes had been cornered by those who had disappeared before, and then the mastermind behind the scenes let the Shadow of the Heroic Spirit of his servant explode to cover his retreat, and the power of the self-explosion was expected to be equivalent to a legendary spell.

Juan Er wanted to find someone to see if Liu Yuan was blown up stupidly, but the elf Myroe also said the same, and Juan Er could only force himself to believe it.

And even more outrageous is yet to come.

I don't know what kind of wind the lone pastorish priest smoked, and he actually caused nine such explosions in a row, and the power of the last explosion may have been close to the level of the archangel's full force under the command of the true god according to the investigation.

In other words, if the power of the last explosion is used effectively instead of letting it get out of control, this explosion alone will be enough to change the map of the continent!

The craziest is yet to come, these explosions took place in polluted areas, and the result was unpolluted ruins about the size of existing land in the United Kingdom!

But this is not an opportunity, but a crisis that can ruin the whole United Kingdom!

Because the United Kingdom does not have the capacity to take over such a large amount of land now, it is already very difficult for the Kingdom to manage its current borders.

The reason why Tolamp's proposal to build a wall to the south has not been completely rejected is also because even if he proposed this policy with selfish intentions, the policy itself has its own rationality.

But even if the royal family can resist the temptation, the nobles can't resist it!

A considerable number of them are stupid enough to not understand the dangers, but they are smart enough to coerce public opinion and coerce the royal family!

Juan Er could now think of what they would say, [let the purified land be polluted again], this simple sentence was enough to encourage the simple-minded people!

Now, as long as you walk to the north of Oscar City, everyone can see that the land is not polluted, and although the top of the army has Wang He to suppress it, it is inevitable that the morale of the military at the bottom will fluctuate.

The local army in Oscar City was completely wiped out in the explosion, and the emergency deployment from other cities has not yet been completed, and I don't know how many adventurers have been to the north, and the news cannot be blocked at all......

"Ahh

Juan El shouted to herself, the red dress she wore today had become a mess because of the indecent way of sitting, because she had lost the room to care about these things.

"That may not be enough. Stukov, the mage of the Silo tribe, suddenly teleported into Juel's secret room, and Juan Er was so frightened that Juan Er hurriedly lifted his shoulder strap, "I'm afraid that in the best case, the territory of the United Kingdom will shrink by a circle." ”

“...... I'm sorry, can you please explain what you just said?" Juan Er was even robbed of the opportunity to scold the other party for being rude.

"This is the rate of regeneration of various elemental ores in the last three decades. Stukov threw out a pocket crystal ball, and several statistical charts were projected in front of Juel's eyes, "You can see that the output of the elemental enrichment areas has been decreasing, and even as new enrichment areas are discovered as the Reconquista continues to be discovered, the overall regeneration rate is decreasing. ”

"Why is this happening?" said Juan'er, breathing heavily.

She knew that the old mining areas were declining, but as new mining areas were constantly liberated, new mining areas would continue to appear, and she did not expect that the total production would actually decline...... No one has investigated these things at all!

"Because it's normal for the circulation of elemental power in the United Kingdom to slow down as our territory expands. Stukov sighed and briefly introduced the results of his investigation, "The territory becomes larger, the border becomes longer, the consumption of elemental stones increases, and the rate of regeneration will be slower, which is why I still voted for Tolamp knowing that the real purpose of building a wall in the south is to prepare for the restoration of the Wicken Kingdom in the future." ”

"Then why don't you ...... early? No, none of this matters now, you continue. Juan Er first stood up with a slap on the table, then sat back weakly.

She already knew what Stukov was going to say next, but she couldn't die until she heard it with her own ears.

"The sudden appearance of a pollution-free area with an area equivalent to nothing in the existing territory will only lead to one result, and that is the complete cessation of the regeneration of elemental stones in the territory actually controlled by the kingdom. ”

"Stop...... "It's worse than she thought!

Stukov's face was full of sadness: "You can understand it as opening the floodgates and releasing water, although the details are completely different...... I'm sorry I can't be quite analogous, but it's conceivable that the regeneration of elementals in the next few years will almost exclusively happen in the land that has nothing left, unless that land is recontaminated with filth...... Thank you for the blessing of the true gods, at least the elemental power will not be polluted, according to my experiments, the elemental stones will spontaneously evaporate and escape back into the cycle when they come into contact with the power of filth. ”

"But...... In this case, without the support of enough elemental stones, it is not only a matter of re-polluting the unpolluted ruins, we can't hold the current border without elemental stones! There will be land fall in all three directions, south, east and west, and in the end we will have to retreat to the north, which is completely white land, giving up a large amount of land that has been purified and developed...... Not only will the United Kingdom shrink, but we will have to rebuild...... Hahahaha! We're all going to be sinners for the ages!"

Only then did Stukov realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly struck a sleeping spell.

"Fortunately," Juan Er's mental state is now completely out of control, and this spell can take effect instantly.

Looking at Juan, who had slept in disheveled clothes, Stukov knocked his head in anguish.

He can only do research, although he can accurately analyze the future direction, but he can't think of a solution at all, so he came to consult with Juan Er, who is more professional than him in this area, but he didn't expect her to almost go crazy to show him.

Stukov had never gone crazy because the subject was too difficult, so he didn't know what to do when faced with an unexpected situation.

Tapping his head again, he picked up the pocket crystal ball and teleported back to his tower.

Originally, it was someone else who discussed the results and he was responsible for completing the task, so it was better to go back and wait......

"I don't think it's going to work like this, so you can help me come up with ideas. ”

Shortly after Stukov ran away, the voice of the military general Wang He came from a wooden carving of a general on the table.

“...... Uh, aren't you in the secret room?
