Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 Jenkins said, putting away the used wrench and putting it back in his waist.

　　 Mr. Hood also wants to talk to Jenkins about compensation, but Jenkins does not want to receive compensation. Helping Mr. Hood, he didn't spend a penny, there was no cost at all.

　　Mr. Hood insisted on repaying it. In the end, Jenkins claimed that he had important things to discuss with Miss Magic, and that the rewards could be discussed later when Mr. Hood was willing to leave.

　　 "You definitely didn't want to sneeze just now."

　　 Waiting for Mr. Hood to go away, Miss Magic said. She looked in the direction where Mr. Hood had disappeared, and was grateful for the good luck of her friend.

"Of course not. I haven't been sick for a long time. I just have a strong hunch that I will gain new strength soon. This feeling is very strong, but I don't know what to do next. It is very scratching. Feeling crazy."

　　 He held his fist in the shadow of the bright moonlight.

"Oh? I know this feeling. According to my experience, generally speaking, you need to complete some ritual behaviors to promote your own deepening of this feeling. This is very useful, but you need to think about it yourself. What is missing."

　　 "I lack experience in repairing things."

　　 Jenkins said, and then shook his head:

　　 "I specifically asked you to stay for a while, not to talk about this. There are two things."

"you said."

　　 Jenkins held out a finger:

　　 "First of all, during this period of time, probably from now until the end of next week, please stay with Miss Windsor and Miss Yindi at any time. During this time, Miss Windsor may encounter dangerous things."

　　 "The danger from ordinary people, or the danger from the giver?"

　　 "The gifter, and most likely it is the lunatic in the organization named [Tree House]. I will often be with Miss Windsor recently, but at night or when I am away, please be careful."

　　 Miss Magic nodded when she heard that she could think about it:

　　 "I understand, but I can't guarantee that only Miss Yindi and I can stop the lunatic you are talking about."

　　 "It's okay, I have other methods. In fact, she is very safe, just to prevent accidents and tell you this way. There is no need to be nervous. As for the second thing, I want to entrust you to investigate an ancient ceremony."

　　 "You have found the right person for this."

　　 A confident smile appeared on the woman's face. In front of Jenkins, she temporarily removed the distortion of the charm on her facial features. The lady magic in the moonlight smiled very well:

　　 "For the ceremony, I have quite enough confidence."

　　 "Have you ever heard of'Fate Rebel'?"

"never heard of that."

　　Miss Magic shook her head without thinking:

"But it's okay. As long as the name is correct and give me at most one month, I will definitely be able to find clues. Now most of the sects I belong to have come to Nolan. I can ask someone to help, so the time is shortened. In half a month, it will be no problem to come."

　　 "No, time is urgent, I hope I can get the answer tomorrow."

"Be realistic, Mr. Candle. It's like your cat won't grow up to become a cat overnight. If you want to entrust me to investigate, give me enough time. I'm not a fortuneteller, so I can't look directly in the mirror. To the answer..."

　　 "Actually, fortune-tellers can't see the answer in the mirror. They usually use crystal **** or flat water."

　　 "Okay, but no matter what, tomorrow is absolutely impossible. I still have a job of protecting Miss Windsor, and I cannot check the literature 24 hours a day. I can only assure you that I will give you the answer as soon as possible."

　　Miss Magic did not say anything about charging Jenkins. Even before the separation, Jenkins offered to give her money, but she refused. She emphasized that she did this only to help her friends, as if he would not be paid by Mr. Hood. Her behavior was the same as Jenkins ten minutes ago.

　　 When Jenkins returned home, Hathaway had already returned. After all, he was delayed for a long time after the party.

　　 The red-haired **** the sofa greeted Jenkins who was changing shoes in the hall, and then watched the black and white kitten rush to the sofa and lay on the small cushion:

　　 "Where did you go so late?"

　　 Hathaway asked casually.

　　 "I went to see Miss Windsor. We were separated at the door of the church."

　　 Jenkins replied without changing his face, and then asked:

　　 "Where are Britney and Julia? Why didn't they see them."

　　 While these conversations took place, Jenkins's tone was not unusual. Hathaway murmured in her heart secretly, and then asked Jenkins to sit next to her and help her choose the clothes to wear when she went to the Evergreen Forest tomorrow.

　　 The ladies at home are very excited about tomorrow's itinerary, and Jenkins is also very happy to be able to advise them on how to dress. But soon he was excluded from the topic. After all, the advice given by someone like him who would only choose a dirty black coat was not of much reference value.

　　 So he asked the three ladies to discuss tomorrow's dress in the living room. He took the cat to the small study on the first floor and read a book for a while, completing the reading task that Miss Audrey had left not long ago.

　　 Around ten o'clock, he stood in front of the window and looked at the street outside, playing with the metal wrench in his hand.

　　 The problem is not whether he can find the immediate feeling, the problem is that he has only the last blank bubble left, even if the Dark Soul is still gestating, it will leave the last vacancy for the King Soul's corresponding ability.

　　 "Chocolate, what do you think I should do? Do you want to accept the strange insights that occurred when repairing machinery?"

　　 He asked his cat. Chocolate meowed while standing on the windowsill. Jenkins didn't understand the meaning. But he had long known that he could not count on his cat, and he just asked casually with feelings.

　　 put one hand in his pocket and take out one [Seed of Profanity]:

　　 "Accept on the positive side, and postpone it on the negative side until after the [Uncrowned King] arrives."

　　 said as he tossed the coin into the air, and then slammed his hand to catch it, and the palm of his hand showed the result:

　　 "Speaking of which, which side is positive?"

　　 He was silent for a while, put the coins away and patted his head twice.

　　 sat on the chair in the study and thought for a long time, then opened the second drawer on the left side of the desk and took out a red wooden box. After opening it, lying inside was a broken pocket watch. To be more precise, it was a gift given to Jenkins by John Williams, the younger brother of the three Williams brothers, to work in the old antique shop.

　　 This pocket watch was damaged by an accident, and because Jenkins got Alexia’s lady pocket watch, he didn’t try to repair it any more, but kept it at home.

　　 He grabbed the pocket watch chain and picked it up. After taking a look in front of him, he stood up and went to the window again.

　　 This pocket watch is just an ordinary product of this era. Whether it is the ancient omnic repaired by Jenkins or the clever right hand of Mr. Hood, it is far more mysterious and valuable.

　　 But now what Jenkins lacks is only the last step. He can feel that no matter what he is repairing, he can achieve the perfect state of that desired feeling.

　　It was Miss Magic's words that inspired him to choose this pocket watch. Since repairing anything can be done, it is better to pick a memorial one. Although even if this pocket watch is repaired, Jenkins will not use it again, but the value of this pocket watch is not in recording time, but in that this is the first gift Jenkin received from his family after he became Jenkins. It is his important anchor point in this world and in this era, which means that he accepts that he has replaced the lives of others and lives seriously.

　　 held up the pocket watch chain with his left hand, so that the pocket watch was almost at the position of his chest, and held the wrench in his right hand. Take a breath, and then tap the closed watch cover with a wrench:

　　Ding~

　　 Very soft voice, in the echo of the sound wave, he once again "seeed" the internal structure of the pocket watch that shouldn't be seen, and saw the damaged part. The crisp echo kept reverberating in my heart, and every sound that only he could "hear" increased the throbbing from the bottom of my heart.

　　 Pushing open the window and looking at the black metal tower in the distance, the senses are keen to the extreme at this moment. I don't know if it was because of the wind breaking into the room or the throbbing, even a layer of fine goose bumps appeared on his arms.

　　 The black metal tower became the only object in his eyes at the moment. The rotation of gears and the roar of steam seemed to fall into his ears from a high altitude.

　　 "Mechanical."

　　 He murmured, thinking of the world of his first half of his life, thinking of the civilization road that mankind is heading under the completely different world rules.

　　 He saw the light, saw the fire, saw the power. He stepped on the ground with his feet, but felt the tentacles spreading from the depths of the ground to the surroundings. Holding the window sill with one hand, he was aware of the arrangement of the winding steam pipes in this room.

　　Duang~

　　 He heard the bell and squinted to look at the metal black tower in the distance.

　　 "Yes, the bell sounds."

　　 This is not an auditory hallucination, but the black metal tower really starts to sound. After replacing Nolan's clock tower, it played the same role as the clock tower for the first time. I don't know whether this is a joke or a simple coincidence. With the violent shaking of the earth, the fourth floor of the black tower slowly stretched out of the ground at this moment.

　　 And in the bells that echoed over the city, Jenkins closed his eyes and raised his head. All the insights finally subsided. It doesn't matter whether it is machinery or energy. It doesn't matter whether steam or electricity. The basic rules at the bottom of the world are the same, so that the knowledge he learned in the first half of his life finally worked.

When the knowledge of those far beyond the imagination of people in this world merges with the extraordinary throbbing, in the roaring bell, it seems that thousands of people are congratulating, and the metal luster emerges on the Jenkins body surface and slowly fades. .

　　 He opened his eyes, and the phantom of the giant gear spinning in his pupils flashed by.

　　PS: Seek everything at the beginning of the month.

Chapter 1886 Chapter 1857

"not enough."

　　 He whispered, without condensing the deep feeling of this moment into a brand new ability.

　　 placed the pocket watch on the window sill and looked at the dense black dots flying into the sky from the direction of the metal black tower.

　　 brought the cat to the yard, maintaining a strange and peaceful state of mind, and flew into the night sky on the unicorn. In the night sky of the city center, he saw that with the earthquake, the rising of the tower, and the constant ringing of bells, flying from deep underground to the sky were mechanical birds composed of numerous bones and brass-colored machinery.

　　 The fierce appearance and nauseating ingredients represent the relationship between them and disasters. Scorching steam spurted out from the gap between the tower and the citizen's square, and as the steam spurted, locust-like machinery continuously flew from the cracks in the ground collapsed into the night sky of the city.

　　 Like a black umbrella covering the world, in a blink of an eye, thousands of metal birds have already arrived under the night sky.

　　 Jenkins saw people on the ground trying to fill the gap, and saw the demigods of the Orthodox Church continue to rise into the sky.

　　 He flew to meet the moonlight, without taking out the stick or the holy sword of bone. With his right hand caught in the air, he grabbed the nearby mechanical bird trying to attack. The burning flame selectively burned the bones, leaving only the metal component.

　　 Hold the metal in the palm of his hand as if kneading the dough, and the metal color on his body surface is more obvious in the bell of the funeral.

　　 [Reading] + [Mechanical Light], a blue light flashed across the palm of my hand. As Jenkins opened his palm, a brass-colored delicate purely mechanical bird flew out of his palm.

　　 The cat and Jenkins looked at the bird and flew into the sky together, Jenkins pointed out:

　　【Call the wind and call the rain】!

　　 The electric light fell from the depths of the starry sky and hit the mechanical bird directly. At the same time, Jenkins's metallic luster has reached its extreme.

　　 The bell rang below him, and the bird struck by thunder and lightning spread its wings in the arc.

　　 A huge, unspeakable, and even unintelligible behemoth flashed behind Jenkins. Then the iron-black rusty light, centered on him, spread to the sky as the bird flew.

　　 People on the ground only noticed the figure riding a unicorn when the electric light pierced the night sky. Before the church could react, the bird and the strange iron-black rusty light swept across the sky.

　　 All the skeleton gear birds that were affected by the light were still in the air, and fell to the ground after an interval of one to two seconds, as if metal rain fell under the night sky.

Jenkins took a deep breath, the earth was surging, the bells rang, and everything became one. He raised his hand to catch his flying bird and watched it deform in his hand, and finally turned into a book with an iron gray cover. , The arc constantly surging on the surface of the book.

　　 He holds the book in his right hand and covers the pages of the book with his left hand. After slowly removing the left hand, all the throbbing was calmed down. He felt the deep and calm power emerging from his body, which was a brand new power that was different from all previous powers:

　　【Toolsmith (White Foundation)】

　　 To be honest, Jenkins did not expect that his throbbing of machinery would evolve into such an ability. Both Miss Magic and Alexia mentioned that all abilities that can appear as "symbols" in the course of use are all mysterious and extraordinary abilities with extraordinary potential.

　　 Behind the lamp of the mechanical light, the second symbol of ability obtained by Jenkins is still related to the mechanical. Although he had never heard of [Machinesmith]'s ability, he understood the function of ability at a glance.

　　 When using abilities, call out the book in your hand and then unfold the book, to control and manipulate the surrounding objects that can be called mechanical creations to the limit you can bear. The degree of control is determined by factors such as distance, quantity, mystery, complexity, and so on.

　　 That’s why I swept away the bones and metal birds in the sky at the moment I gained the ability.

　　 In addition, Jenkins can perceive the machinery that exists around him, and can perform simple repairs and transformations on the machinery without relying on any tools without relying on the power of the mind.

　　 In the case of being struck by lightning, the mechanical creation completely created by him has the effect of breaking through the limits of its own design in a short time. This probably comes from Jenkins’s memory of another world’s technological system.

　　 But it also made him understand that this world, at least the basic materialistic and idealistic rules of this era, do not support the development of electric energy technology trees. Otherwise, the ability that was born just now should be relying on electrical energy to create machinery, rather than just using thunder and lightning to stimulate one-time breakthroughs.

　　 Thinking of this, he unfolded the book in his hand again. As the iron-gray light spread to the surroundings, it summoned the Bone Holy Sword against the gap in the ground.

　　 The sword mark went straight into the gap, but unfortunately it did not cause any consequences. But there is no need to worry about it here. Since the emergence of this black tower, the church has been guarding the surroundings day and night, just to prevent such things from happening.

　　 At this moment, a huge mystery has been formed. Jenkins rose into the sky on the back of the unicorn, watching the church urgently deal with the gap that seemed to connect the abyss.

　　 After he solved the "flying birds" in the air, the number of birds emerging from the ground became less and less. Jenkins didn't feel relieved to leave until it was determined that the church was in complete control of the situation.

　　 He returned to the house from the study window, pretending not to leave at all. Picking up the pocket watch on the window sill, listening to the regular "click, click~" sound that comes to mind with the turning of the pointer.

　　 "But why is it?"

　　 He whispered:

　　 "How can the power of me and the machine fit so well?"

　　【Machinesmith】is his ability to comprehend by himself, so he can feel more powerful. Although it is the end of the epoch, as a savior, he is lucky enough to obtain the power to contend with machinery, which can be regarded as an arrangement of fate. But this ability, no matter how you think about it, appeared because of his fit with mechanical power.

　　 His soul comes from another world, he knows another huge and completely different system of knowledge, so he has an affinity for machinery, which can be explained. But he couldn't understand that, as a candidate for the savior of the Eighteenth Era against machinery and steam disaster, he and the enemy had almost the same power.

　　 This world is quite an ideal world, and any coincidence is worthy of attention and consideration.

　　 "Could it be that the difference engine assimilated me in the end, or I went crazy and assimilated the difference engine?"

Chapter 1887 Chapter 1858 Chapter Holiday in the Forest

　　 Jenkins stood in front of the window and suddenly clenched his fists. He never feared any power he had, but at this moment, he had a high fear of [Toolmaker].

　　 "Why is it at this time."

　　 He asked himself, and then showed the iron-grey book. The book can be opened normally, and the content recorded in it is far more than it looks. It is all the scientific theories and application knowledge in Jenkin's memory that has not appeared in this world. His academic qualifications before coming to this world were not low, so there is quite a lot of knowledge that can be revealed in this book.
