Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 In a very low voice, he said the number of the creature in front of him. Since the incident of the little girl selling flowers, he has read a lot of information about this kind of trick that he might encounter at any time.

　　 A-11-02-3219, the treasure elves, was also become "the spirit of the forest that devours life" by some people.

　　A trick is not necessarily an object, it may also be a piece of information, a group or even a phenomenon.

　　A-11-02-3219 is an illusion phenomenon that only appears in the forest. This kind of creature that looks like an elf, in fact, is not an elf at all. These phantoms usually only appear in wooded areas, tempting travelers to follow them in search of treasures. The so-called phenomenon means that the forest traveler is tempted by hallucinations and then disappears.

　　 And treasures do exist, and these phantoms are called treasure elves because they only appear in places with treasures.

The strange feature of 　　 Treasure Wizard is that it only targets the creatures it selects. In other words, even if there are a thousand people here, only Jenkins can see it, even if he wakes up unexpectedly with the chocolate.

　　 When the victim is tempted, the treasure wizard will guide the traveler into the depths of the forest. When the two finally find the treasure, the traveler will be swallowed by the forest.

　　 The "swallowing" here refers to the real swallowing. Jenkins only sees these things in the data, and there is no specific description.

　　 The danger level of this kind of trick is two, the same as A-01-2-0198, [Little Girl Selling Flowers]. Although the same level does not mean the same degree of danger, this kind of thing does not turn your head and leave after rejecting the treasure.

　　 As long as you encounter this kind of supernatural phenomenon called the treasure elves, no matter which direction you go later, you will eventually walk to the treasure place guided by the treasure elves. This is unavoidable. In other words, it is similar to A-01-2-0198, and it is basically dead if you encounter it...Unless you are at level 8 or above, it is possible to avoid the illusion of confusion of spatial direction.

　　Jenkins checked the basic information provided by his father, so it is not clear whether there are any cases that survived after encountering A-11-02-3219. Although he was fortunate enough to survive by A-01-2-0198, the hermit of fate cannot always take care of one person.

　　 "Chocolate."

　　 He stood in place, feeling that the hand holding the gun was slippery. This was the reason for the constant sweat. When the wind blew through the forest, he felt his entire back soaked.

　　 Just like actively attacking A-01-2-0198, it will lead to terrible consequences-specifically referring to the Ice Messenger Brute, actively attacking the treasure elves will also cause abnormal changes. Jenkins is very fortunate now that his first reaction after encountering an incident is not to shoot first.

　　 "Go home now, and then take back the black metal block, which is the one you often play with."

　　 He instructed in a low voice, but considering that although chocolate's intelligence is enough to deliver a letter, it might still be difficult to go home-find something-send it back, so he added:

"If you come back and can’t find me, or if you don’t find the metal block, then leave. Don’t go back to that house, go to the old man or Miss Audrey, but don’t bring them here, they found me missing In the future, I will take you in, and I will be good in the future..."

　　【Knowledge and Books】Miss Bevanna, the eighth-level gifter of the church, has not yet returned. If the writing note asks the chocolate to find the secret guard or other people who are familiar with the characteristics of the tricks to solve the problem, then it must be too late. As mentioned in the information, even if it stays in place, the treasure wizard has a way to get it near the treasure.

　　 For Jenkins, it is impossible for him to go back.

　　 The only way right now is to defeat A-11-02-3219 head-on by deifying oneself. With the cat’s footsteps, he might be able to return before he is buried in the woods. But no one can guarantee this.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The chocolate standing at Jenkins' feet walked around Jenkins twice, looked up at the man, swept his trousers with the tip of his white tail, and finally yelled and hurried away stepping on the fallen leaves.

　　 Jenkins swallowed, his eyes fixed on the increasingly ugly treasure wizard. Records show that no one can survive for more than two hours after encountering A-11-02-3219.

　　 In other words, within two hours, he will definitely find the so-called treasure for inexplicable reasons.

　　 "What do you mean by the treasure?"

　　 Even if he knew that he couldn't escape, Jenkins still tried to think of some ways. If you know the specific location and shape of the treasure, you might be able to consciously avoid those areas...maybe.

　　 "Young traveler, do you want to be buried treasure?"

　　 It repeated its own words with a sharp voice, floating slowly around Jenkins in the colorful halo.

　　 Jenkins sighed and put the pistol away. It was no longer useful.

　　 The noon sun was high in the sky, but Jenkins, who was shrouded in the shade of the trees, could not feel the warmth. He stiffly lifted his foot and stepped on the ground to increase his body temperature. I have already planned it in my mind. Once I can or go out this time, I must buy a warm and decent winter outfit.

　　PS: I just noticed that there is a great recommendation for Cthulhu novels in the Booker app, and I won’t be there. Then I thought for a while whether this is a Cthulhu type...

Chapter 261 Chapter 257 The Cabin in the Forest

　　 "After I came here, I experienced so many dangerous things. Cthulhu, cultists, tricks and all kinds of malice didn't kill me. How could I die here?"

　　 Jenkins said to himself in his heart, thinking desperately about the way to escape. If you die while performing the mission of the church or fighting with others, then the new life can be considered as okay. But he was really unwilling to die so aggrieved in this unknown place.

　　 "Burn the forest?"

　　 He was suspicious, since the treasure elves are attached to the forest, it will definitely disappear if the forest is destroyed. Under this life-threatening premise, Jenkins also ignores moral and legal issues.

　　 But the problem now is that the area of ​​this woodland is quite large, and because of the snowfall some time ago, the trees and the ground are very humid, even if you want to start a fire, you can't do it. His [Inextinguishable Fire] is not a flame in the usual sense at all, it can only add a "burning" state to the item, and the maximum coverage area of ​​that cluster of flames does not exceed three times the maximum surface area of ​​Jenkins in his naked state.

　　 This was just tested out when he bathed the chocolate yesterday.

　　 "Destroy the treasure ahead of time?"

　　 This is also a method. The trigger point for the treasure elves to kill is to find the treasure. But Jenkins didn't know where the treasure it knew was, and couldn't find other people to help.

　　 He already regrets not letting the chocolate find some helpers, which is really a major mistake. But with the small cat's feet, even if you go to find a helper, you can't make it back, right?

　　 The elves are still surrounding Jenkins, constantly making "chuckle~" low noises. Now the temperature has dropped to a terrible level. This is not the normal temperature this season, it is forcing Jenkins to leave this position.

　　 mobilized the immortal fire to cover the area between his body surface and clothing, and his body became a little warmer. Jenkins looked at the light spots of his ability one by one, suffocated his breath, prayed to the sage first, and then tried to activate [Unknown Road] with mental power.

　　 I felt my head hum, and the whole person relaxed. A smile gradually appeared on his face, watching the purple line appear in front of him, extending to the depths of the forest. He took a long breath, even the clothes stuck to his body from behind because of sweat can't bring him a bad mood:

　　 "Very good, I probably don't have to die..."

He whispered, throwing behind his head the old father and Hathaway that he had just remembered for some reason, turned around and packed the backpack on the ground and put it on his shoulders, and then took the cane leaning against the tree and hung it on the cane. His brown hat with a wide brim, heading in the direction of destiny.

　　 Sure enough, once you left the range of that tree, the surrounding temperature quickly returned to normal levels. Jenkins was originally worried that the weird directional characteristics of the A-11-02-3219 phenomenon would interfere with the effect of [Unknown Road Ahead], but it seems that the power of destiny is greater than the effect of this kind of trick.

　　 keeps advancing towards the inside of the forest area. The damp environment and rotting dead leaves make the ground seem to be covered with a soft carpet, and the illusion of being swallowed by the land as soon as you step on it.

　　 This forest area has a long history, but because it is very close to the city, the local Jenkins has never heard of any magical legends here. This time I encountered A-11-02-3219, and it was completely out of luck.

　　 Poke the grass in front of him with a stick, and the flames flowed out from the sleeves, burning the black bug lying on the back of his hand to the point that there was no dust left. The end of autumn is still the season of insects, especially in such a humid woodland.

　　 The purple line points straight to a wooden house in the dense woodland. This is the house of the forest ranger. They occasionally patrol the woods and hunt down loggers and poachers. And if you can’t leave the woodland in time, you will rest in this place.

　　 has now entered a deep position in the woodland, even a ranger will not come many times a year. The wooden house in front of Jenkins was very dilapidated from the outside. The bottom of the wooden walls had been corroded by moss and other unknown disgusting substances.

　　The wooden windows were completely nailed with wooden boards from the inside to prevent emergency items left in the wooden house from being destroyed by foreign wild animals. At the wooden door, there is a rusty iron chain tied to it.

　　 He did not approach rashly, but used a special field of vision to observe the surroundings. Sure enough, there was a faint red light on the walls, doors and windows of the wooden house, which fluctuated like a tide. This is evidence of the ritual arranged by the benefactor here, and this wooden house is the destination of destiny.

　　 "In other words, a gifter has been here, and I don’t want outsiders to come again..."

　　 He guessed in his heart, because he didn't see the pile of light spots representing the gifter, nor did he see any special items, it can be inferred that the gifter who arranged the ceremony has left.

　　 The color of the aura is extremely light, and it can be seen that the ritual arrangement should take at least a week or so before the soul will be lost to this point.

He was stunned for a moment, just about to take a step, he found that the treasure elves who had been following behind him, making a mentally contaminated "chuckle~" laughter suddenly rushed out, flapping his wings lightly, and the black aura and the red aura paired with each other. Bump, the ceremonial luster that was already shaky, immediately extinguished.

　　 Jenkins looked suspiciously at the ugly elf. According to the data, when the tempted traveler was unable to move forward due to objective factors, the treasure elves would help. This is also one of the reasons why the image of "elves" has been continuously beautified in fairy tales from the ancient era.

　　 This means that the direction of the wooden house is indeed the direction of the treasure, and it is very close to the treasure. A-11-02-3219 thought he was looking for the treasure.

After the aura disappeared, Jenkins in black boots approached the wooden door with a backpack on his back.

　　 "Heh~"

　　 stretched out his fist and hit the rusty lock fiercely. Jenkins used [Frost Fist] to help it cool down quickly. At the same time, flames flowed from the cuff to burn the iron lock. When the whole process was completed, I quickly hacked it three times with the sharp knife used to handle the meat in the backpack, and the chains slammed into the soil with a sound. They were coiled together like snakes, smashing the soft soil out of a small pit.

　　 Pushing open the door, the room was filled with a corrupt stench. Naturally, there could be no gas lamps on the walls. The only complete objects that could be seen were some crude hunting tools piled in the corners.

Chapter 262 Chapter 258 Purification of Resentment

Jenkins glanced around in the wooden house at random, determined that there was no aura in the special field of vision, then stepped on the squeaky floor and quickly came to the corner, pried the floor with a knife according to fate, and found it wrapped in waterproof kraft paper. Book-like things up.

　　 covered his nose, put the kraft paper bag on the floor aside, and then knelt and used the other hand to go to the hollow under the floor and tentatively fumbled. In addition to the sticky touch, I found something else. There are two delicate glass bottles under the cavity, but the liquid inside is gray and turbid. Jenkins is not sure if this is the way it is or if it has expired. But since the aura is pitifully weak, it doesn't matter.

　　 He took these things outside the house, took a deep breath, and finally eased up. The smell in that house is really unbearable.

　　 Two small bottles were placed in the pockets of the coat, holding his breath and using a knife to cut the rope outside the kraft paper package, then stepped back, picked up a branch and prepared to open the package.

　　 He stopped his actions suddenly, and looked suspiciously at the treasure elves who were still chucking quietly.

　　 "This is not a treasure, right?"

　　 Jenkins realized this terrible possibility, and his hand holding the branch suddenly froze.

　　 [Fate's Way Forward] is an ability unique to souls in other worlds. Every time it works, it can produce obvious and reliable effects. Jenkins hesitated again and again, swallowed, still used a branch to pick up the cut thread on the kraft paper, and then opened the package...

　　 A gust of wind blew, the woodland made a rustling sound, the package was exposed on the grass, the upturned kraft paper swayed slightly in the wind, but nothing happened.

　　 He took a long breath, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the package. After confirming that there was no danger, he slowly walked over.

　　 The purple line of fate points to a short note rolled into a tube. After Jenkins picked it up, the purple line disappeared.

　　【Mr. Clark:

　　 I follow your instructions and hide here, waiting for the ‘Children of the Mist’ project to start again. On October 18th, I think I might have encountered A-11-02-3219, the treasure wizard. Mr. C, although I have the belief that I must die, I am really unwilling to die here.

　　 I have acquired some weird knowledge while listening to the whispers of my lord. This knowledge may help me out of my troubles, but if you do not find me when you come to find me, then I am dead. Don't be sad, my lord will bless my soul, and the ship will take me to the final paradise lost.

　　 Please note that A-11-02-3219 will act on an area at least 3 times before it disappears. If you also encountered misfortune when you came here, you can try my method. Although it may be useless to me, the grace of my lord you have received is stronger. I wish you luck.

　　 May the ‘Children of the Mist’ project start smoothly again, and may my lord, the immortal king, bless me for everlasting life.

　　 you are faithful,

　　W

　　Note: If I do die, then the protection rituals here may soon disappear. In a short period of time, I cannot arrange a protection ceremony that can last for a long time. Therefore, please immediately transfer the information I have left. Don't worry, unless you are favored by fate, no one will be able to find this place. Mr. Destroyer B has already shifted the position here. Without guidance, no one can come here. 】

　　 "Fate-defeating person? Huh~ Good tone."

　　 Jenkins whispered, the temperature around him was dropping rapidly again, which was the signal that the treasure wizard urged him to leave.

　　 If the believers of [The Hermit of Destiny] hear the title of "Dealer", being hanged is the best treatment they can encounter. In his own nickname, he blatantly rebelled against the righteous gods. How bold is this mortal to do such a thing?

　　 Turn over the back of the note, this is the way W left behind to resist the treasure wizard:

　　【Treasure elves are a strange and terrifying phenomenon, the result of the combination of resentment and soul fragments in the forest, and even more strange materials. Less than eighth level, it is absolutely impossible to confront the group of phantoms head-on, so they can only find a way to get rid of the grievances. The so-called resentment is the sum of the resentment of the innocent people who have died in the forest for thousands of years, and the resentment aroused by the destruction of the forest itself. Temporarily drive away the grievances, and be able to leave here in a short time, and then please pray for the gods' gaze. If it graciously drops Grace, then it can remove the mark A-11-02-3219 left on his body. As long as you don't set foot here, it won't haunt you anymore. 】

　　 "Expelling grievances?"

　　 Jenkins read the phrase, "Can you write more carefully, how to expel resentment!"

　　 He read the note again in confusion, but there was no clue. Now that the guidance of fate is over, that is to say, he has obtained all the information. If this time is the same as usual, then the predicament should be resolved.

　　 "What have I done recently?"

　　 He is thinking about his trajectory today, but the only thing that can bring about a breaking change is the chocolate back to the city.

　　 stood up and took a step to the left subconsciously. There was a flower in front of her, the scene in front of her changed, and she turned around again, and came to a place at least 10 feet in front of the package.

　　 Jenkins looked at the treasure wizard solemnly, and then quickly moved his eyes away. The opponent's face at this time can no longer be directly looked at, and the ugly face with extraordinarily extraordinarily attractive, unexpectedly.

　　 Just for an instant, Jenkins was almost attracted by those deep well-like eyes.

After 　　, the situation became worse. Even if he sat motionless on the ground, the ground under Jenkins's feet seemed to move, constantly sending him forward.

　　 It is no longer possible to know whether this is a spatial shift or a more mysterious method, but when the position was changed for the fourth time, when the wooden house was vaguely seen through the bushes, a clear spring appeared in another clearing.

　　 If the hunter’s hut was built artificially and then gradually integrated with the woodland environment. Then this mouth has a white marble base, on both sides there are spring eyes carved with jade statues of angels (also in this world) and demons, which are obvious and not part of the woodland.

　　 "This is the treasure?"

　　 Jenkins immediately realized this, listening to the sound of the gushing spring, his mood fell to the extreme.

　　 can't wait for the chocolate, as long as there is another position move, Jenkins touches the spring and he is dead.

　　 "Purify grievances..."

Chapter 263 Chapter 259 Gift Fusion

　　 Jenkins' eyes sharpened, "Which one is more powerful, a trick or a gift?"

　　 spread both hands forward, the quietly burning candle appeared in the left hand, and the immortal red flame appeared in the right hand.

　　 The laughter of the ugly elves actually sinks. The temperature dropped rapidly, and the branches above the head twisted and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually obscuring the sun in the sky, clinging to Jenkins' head like bent fingers; the branches crawling on the trunk moved slowly like tentacles Get up and squirm on the ground; terrible footsteps can be heard in the bushes, and dark shadows and miserable skeletons leak out. Even the mottled tree trunks and old bark, like terrible grimace, made a stern laugh with the sound of the wind.

　　 At this moment, the malicious exposure from the forest is undoubtedly.

　　 Jenkins looked at his hands with solemn eyes, the red flame on his right hand was drawn into silk, and he flew from his right hand to his left hand. The gifts on both sides seemed to be connected by a bridge of flames, the candles and fireballs emitted dim light at the same time, and at the same time the spirit was rushing to his hands quickly.

　　 "It's really possible!"

　　 If it weren't for this fashion in danger, Jenkins even wanted to laugh wildly.

　　 He raised his hands high, mobilizing the spirit of the whole body to attach to the two gifts.

　　 The wind is blowing, and with Jenkins's movements, sudden gusts of wind pour in from all directions, but his standing position is like the eye of the wind, unaffected by the slightest.
