The Master of the Strange Realm

"Huh?"

Letting go of Miss Audrey's hand, her face turned slightly red because of the pain.

"Why do I have an extra ability? Knowledge granting? Miss Miller, this seems to be..."

"It's okay."

Miss Miller squinted and whispered: "This is a thank you for saving me. Fortunately, you responded in time. Don't worry, I have no interest in twin demons. Moreover, I seemed to be a little bad to you last Wednesday night. Since I plan to be friends now, I naturally have to apologize. Of course, I also hope that this ability can help you. If you don't need it, I can find someone who can erase the ability..."

"No, I like it very much."

He nodded, and then showed a tangled expression. What is this lady seeking? The savior just mentioned?

From the conversation between the two just now, Jenkins can infer that the [Twin Demon], which has an inexplicable origin and can manifest the soul emblem, does not seem to be just a simple ability. Combined with the "stage of fate" mentioned by Miss Audrey during her first visit, he had a vague guess in his heart.

But he didn't plan to ask the two insiders directly, as this was not the right occasion.

The three of them agreed not to talk about this strange adventure to anyone. After all, everyone had revealed their secrets more or less just now, and it would not be a good thing for anyone else to know.

Mr. Robinson's relic, the dirty hemp rope, was also brought out. Now it is temporarily kept by Miss Audrey, and after identifying what it is, the distribution plan will be discussed.

Since they talked about the harvest, Miss Audrey reminded Jenkins that his reward was in his pocket.

Without hesitation, he put the card on the clothes with a burnt smell in front of his heart, and then slowly injected his spirit. A special feeling swept over him, as if he was blown by the warm wind of a hair dryer, and a layer of goose bumps appeared all over his body.

He now knew why this ability was more precious than the blank bubble-this was actually the purple of fate: [Favoured by Flame].

He glanced at Miss Audrey and Miss Miller. These two ladies could be trusted for the time being. Although they could not be like Dad and Hathaway, they had no ill will towards him.

He planned to make friends with these two high-level gifters. The more things he came into contact with, the more he could feel the weakness of his power. It was not a bad thing to have more friends.

So, Jenkins naturally told about his ability. Miss Audrey actually knew it, which meant that fate had destined Jenkins to be difficult to be hurt by fire, and he could show more luck in occasions or things related to fire.

"Great, what I lack is luck!"

Jenkins' body was indeed a little uncomfortable. The ability of fake death was quite unfriendly to the living, and Jenkins' body was still a weak mortal.

Miss Miller and Miss Audrey carried Jenkins on the left and right, left the alley, staggered to the main road, and planned to find a carriage at the corner of the street.

At this moment, a familiar carriage appeared from another corner and quickly passed by the three people. The wind with the smell of coal smoke just blew open the blackout curtain on one side of the carriage.

Hathaway Hesha looked out and saw Jenkins in a black coat, looking exhausted and supported by two beautiful ladies.

Jenkins looked in and saw Hathaway, still dressed in the same outfit, with a shallow kiss mark on her neck with a necklace.

Both pretended not to see each other, and did not even nod to each other.

Hathaway was stunned for a long time before looking at the blonde girl sitting next to her.

"Hathaway, did you see anything?"

"No, nothing."

The red-haired girl felt that her mood suddenly became worse, but she didn't know why. She thought of the scene just now, Jenkins and the two girls.

"William, you..."

She lowered her head to look at her new shoes, then raised her head to look at her lover who was looking at her with concern, and felt that she was really crazy.

Chapter 224 Chapter 220 Dungeon

Continuing to walk forward, Jenkins lowered his head and felt that his mood suddenly became much worse. The kiss mark on the red-haired girl's neck seemed to be imprinted in his mind. Even though he could roughly guess its source, he always felt awkward.

He had experienced so many inexplicable things recently that this feeling was soon forgotten.

Miss Audrey was going home to deal with the trouble next door. She told the two that there might be some important spy documents hidden there. She had nothing to do with the matter, but she didn't want to be implicated.

Miss Miller is now employed by an employer whose name cannot be revealed, and it seems that he is still an official of the kingdom. The spy group that Robinson belongs to took some private photos containing privacy when stealing a document. The employer needs her to retrieve the photos without alerting anyone. Since Robinson is dead, she can only look for the man infected by the gear bacteria and hope to gain something.

This is the fourth strange place that Jenkins has experienced, or rather, the fourth strange place he has been forced to experience. He still hasn't figured out what the powerful ghost that forced his father, Professor Burns and him to do in the basement of the castle was.

Looking at the dark sky covered by dark clouds, his mood became even gloomier.

I thought I had nothing special to gain from this strange place, but after careful experience, I felt that something seemed to be added to my body. Sitting in the carriage, I closed my eyes and felt it carefully. I didn't expect that there was one more gift.

It was a flame burning quietly. He guided the gift to his finger, and the flame floated above his index finger.

After repeated inspections, it was indeed an ordinary flame. However, the flame cannot ignite objects, but can only attach to objects to make them burn. After taking back the gift, the burning state stopped.

In other words, this cluster of flames cannot be extinguished in any form, and the burning state can only be ended by recycling. Therefore, Jenkins decided to call it [Eternal Fire].

"What is this? Strange Fire?"

He thought to himself and couldn't help laughing, which was a change of mood as gloomy as the weather. But he recalled what his father said, several kinds of flames that were classified as special items.

Today is Monday, and he hasn't asked his father about the auction of [Gifts] on the black market. Thursday is the Reading Festival. Not only will I go to school to meet Professor Burns' students, but I will also attend church activities and have dinner with my family.

Mr. Corpse's party will be next week, and Mr. Hood's party is still undecided. He was probably frightened by the last encounter with the Pirate King, the Destroyer Femmes, and the party may be postponed for a long time.

Nothing happened for the rest of the day and the whole of Tuesday. Jenkins enjoyed a peaceful life and learned a lot of news from his father.

The demon incident is really coming to an end this time. The dead Kumbu has been identified as a descendant of the Asyash family. In his residence, the church seized a large number of contraband and blasphemous materials.

Dad gave Jenkins a list of special items newly added to the parish.

The Orthodox Church was very annoyed about this matter, because almost a powerful alien from another world descended on this parish. Through the pressure of the church, all the young people who participated in the demon summoning were captured. Even though two or three noble heirs who would inherit the title in the future were involved, the kingdom did not raise any protests.

Maintaining the stability of the mortal world is the common task of the mortals and the extraordinary.

In the name of "increasing knowledge", Dad asked Captain Binsey to take Jenkins to "visit" the most core place of the demon summoning ceremony on Tuesday night.

It was the basement of a property near the east bank of the Westminster River, which belonged to the son of a baron who had been arrested.

This place was completely blocked. Captain Binsey used at least three documents and two seals. After both of them released their soul emblems to confirm their identities, they were allowed to enter.

"This is Miss Eve Garden of the [Starry Sky and Balance] Church, and this is Mr. Orr of the [Death and End] Church..."

Captain Binsey introduced everyone in the basement one by one. This group of people were all above level six.

Everyone was doing their own work, and the winding basement corridor was artificially expanded to a quite amazing area. Most of the space was like a black prison, with mottled black bloodstains and yellow dirt attached to the rusty iron fence, showing how terrible things had happened here.

There was no light source in the basement. The church people got some kerosene lamps and placed them in key positions, barely illuminating all the corners.

The air was filled with water vapor, as well as a very disgusting stench and the smell of oil, which reminded Jenkins' body of the days when the Williamites were still civilians. The two continued to move forward and greeted the people they met, all wearing black clothes. Captain Binsey introduced that this was an ancient tradition that must be followed when dealing with such things.

Jenkins turned his head and saw something lying in the rusty fence on the side, and there was a very faint red aura.

Captain Binsey also stopped and handed him the kerosene lamp in his hand. Jenkins approached there cautiously, and the fire illuminated the dark cell. The ground was covered with a layer of straw, and a human-shaped thing leaned against the wall.

"Heh~"

The moment the light touched it, the ugly creature with a slender tongue, a face full of small holes, and maggots sticking out of the holes suddenly pounced on the fence, and then was pulled back by the rattling iron chain.

Jenkins was startled and took a few steps back, almost falling down. Fortunately, he was supported by Captain Binsey.

"You already knew what was inside?"

"Haha~ Sorry, Mr. William. But Father Oliver told me that it is an important step for you to be frightened in this event."

Although he attributed the matter to his father, the man still smiled:

"Okay, okay, don't worry. This is an unsuccessful demon who has been infused with the power of the devil. You know, not everyone participates in the demon summoning event for excitement. Some people do it to live longer..."

The smile on his face disappeared, and turned into a serious expression. He tapped the iron bars with his fingers. In addition to the iron filings falling, the monster in the cell twitched again.

"All mortals have to die, so some people have other thoughts. Hum~ How can it be so easy to transform into a different species?"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the monster, and the two continued to move forward.

Section 225 Chapter 221 Doomsday Document

"Sir, then what will happen to the monster?"

Jenkins asked again. Most of the cells around were empty, but some still held similar terrible creatures.

"According to the information seized from the residence of the descendant of the Asyash family, these things are the product of failed transformation. I locked them up here, and originally wanted to release them to cause some trouble on the day when the devil descended. I didn't expect to meet you before I used them."

Jenkins' mouth twitched:

"I didn't do anything. He didn't find out that I was a gifter and took the initiative to kill me."

He thought so in his heart, and looked down. His black leather shoes stepped on a pool of semi-liquid substances of unknown composition. These things mixed with the soil presented a very disgusting appearance and soft touch.

He was in a worse mood.

"These creatures will be handed over to the Church of Death and Doom, and they will be given eternal death."

Captain Binsi continued the conversation just now. Even though the light here was very weak, he could always avoid the traps on the ground.

The area of ​​this basement was a bit too large. It was hard to imagine what kind of manpower and material resources were used to complete such a work in this era. Moreover, this is in the city, and it was not discovered the whole time.

Captain Binsi told Jenkins that the reason for maintaining such an area is that the owner here almost dug through the river bank. The house itself is in a neighborhood near the river bank. The municipal department will never allow a basement to be dug in such a place.

At the end of the corridor is a circular area with pits on the wall. The center is surrounded by haystacks and some bones, leaving only a narrow entrance and exit.

A dried corpse was fished in the center of the circle, and the iron hook hung from above, hooking his limbs and neck. Jenkins did not go in, and Captain Binsi did not allow him to do so.

All he could see was that there was a pile of still burning flames under the feet of the corpse, and the crackling firewood cast a huge shadow of the corpse on the stone wall above.

The gender of the corpse could not be identified. The evil people had made a very terrible transformation on it. The reproductive organ was extremely smooth, without bulges and depressions. The skin showed a smooth texture and a luster that almost reflected light under the effect of unknown oil.

The corpse's eyes were closed, its nose was dug out, and two curved goat horns were artificially inserted on both sides of its forehead. In Jenkins' eyes, it actually emitted a faint black aura.

It turned out that temporary special items with black aura could also be made through rituals.

"Praise the sage, may your light illuminate my way forward."

Seeing this terrible scene, Jenkins chanted a prayer in a low voice, and then drew a holy emblem on his chest.

Captain Binsi told Jenkins that according to the results of the current interrogation, the demon summoning began three years ago. After three years of hard work, these damn guys really summoned two upper demons from a different space called "Magma Hell".

But just as they were planning a new conspiracy, the demon was reported by Jenkins for giving the contract to humans, and then was killed by the descended saint.

And the core figure of the demon summoning, that is, the descendant of the Asyash family, unexpectedly met Jenkins later. Because of a ridiculous reason - Little Abbott found some clues and wanted to report to the church, so he found Jenkins at the banquet. The summoner tried to kill Jenkins, who was in the way, and was also killed.

Captain Bin Xi whispered to admire Jenkins' recent actions, thinking that this was the reason why the sage blessed and protected him.

While he was talking, Jenkins opened his special vision to scan the surroundings, and saw only faint mottled auras everywhere. Only in one cracked wall was this square red object embedded.

This crack was not conspicuous. Due to the structure of the basement, there were such cracks everywhere on the wall. There was no collapse here. There should be believers of the Destiny Hermit among the construction group.

This place will definitely be blocked for a long time, and Jenkins dare not hold the items found in such an occasion, so there is no need to be greedy.

He pretended to follow Captain Bin Xi along the wall, turned around in this space, and listened to his brief introduction of the terrible ritual process.

"Ah!"

He cried softly, and it turned out that the pocket watch fell out of his pocket.

Jenkins smiled apologetically at Captain Binsey and bent down to pick it up. Then he looked up at the crack in front of him in confusion.

"Sir, I'm sorry, maybe I'm too sensitive, but I seem to feel that there is something in it..."

After that, Captain Binsey, who completely trusted Jenkins, called some professionals, and after breaking the soil around the crack, he really found a hard black stone slab embedded in the soil.

It is completely square and embedded in the soil very neatly. It doesn't look like it was put in by someone, but more like it was originally here. The square slab is very new, and from the color point of view, it is completely stone. Its surface is extremely clean, as if it has been polished and cleaned by someone, without any dirt or stains.

A short poem is engraved on the stone slab, using the current common language. When the flame of the kerosene lamp illuminated it, everyone, including Jenkins, read out the text in a strange tone under the control of incomprehensible desire:

"The eighteenth era has come to an end,

The legendary savior has stepped onto the stage of fate;

After the prologue was unveiled,

The twin demons have quietly come to the stage.

He is wearing a black robe,

Under the gaze of the great,

Laughing wildly, he announced the coming of the new god.

The god said, as long as it is you, it is you, just keep going;

The man said, please leave, please leave, the wreckage of the disaster.

The wandering figure looked up at the bell tower,

Dong~
