The Master of the Strange Realm

The ceremony requires the use of 9 ashes, and other materials are extremely rare. But the cult has completed all preparations and collected 8 ashes.

Through divination, they learned that Nolan City was the best place to hold the ceremony, so they came here.

But the problem is, the letter states that two of the ashes are kept in the hands of allies of the [Life Sharing Alliance], and the hiding ally accidentally died in an accident caused by the New God.

Jenkins curled his lips with a troubled expression, and no longer knew what to say. It seems that all troubles can eventually be linked to him for inexplicable reasons.

The two ashes are now buried in the basement of his home, next to the metal seal wrapping the eyeballs. I didn't expect them to be such hot things.

There are clues in the letter that indicate that the allies of the [Life Sharing Alliance] seem to have very powerful backgrounds. Mr. Clark's name was also mentioned, but it was not stated what he did.

Jenkins read the letter for a long time and discovered that some of the letters had been artificially modified after it was written.

It took a lot of effort to understand that the original written content was [Tree House].

"What kind of strange organization is this? Is Mr. Clark from here?"

He guessed, and rubbed the letter inch by inch, hoping to find more clues, but unfortunately these were all. The [Immortality] ability is most likely one of the nine savior candidate abilities mentioned by Mr. Mason Pisco.

There's no clear evidence for this, but it's always the case in Jenkins' mind. He attributed this phenomenon to his own inspiration and his ability to perceive the same origin as the "Twin Demons".

The next day was Friday, a sunny day. Perhaps the heavy snowfall on Wednesday has exhausted the accumulated cold air, but I didn’t expect the temperature to rise again.

The snow on the city ground has almost melted away, but the damn mist is still there. The Air Environmental Protection Act has finally been enacted, and most newspapers have made this news their headlines recently.

However, the implementation of the bill will not begin until the first day of the next year, which means that the next two months will be the last days when factory owners can emit waste gas unscrupulously.

Although Jenkins is very skeptical about how much effect this bill will have.

When I came to my dad's shop with chocolates in my arms, the first thing I did was to tell you exactly what happened last night. Of course, I omitted the part about going into the sea to fish for things.

"The Ouija board is not a numbered item. I have never seen any information... Why do I seem to have heard of the evil spirit dressed as a nun somewhere?"

Dad touched his nose, walked around twice, then picked up the coat and hat hanging on the wall and went out.

Jenkins is now a qualified apprentice and is able to look after the shop on his own.

Chapter 371 Chapter 366 The Story of Saint Pym

The Ouija board fished out from the sea last night was temporarily placed at home by Jenkins. Because it was not a strange thing, it was less dangerous. But he still didn't know the correct way to use it. After all, the behavior that attracted evil spirits last night was all caused by the group of women's mistakes.

The Ouija board may have played a role in this, but it certainly wasn't in its full capacity.

To be on the safe side, he planned to call the professor or Hathaway when he had time, and then try the board.

Dad quickly returned from outside and told Jenkins that the church would take care of the rest and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

But Dad soon became troubled again, for before he took off his coat and hat, Jenkins mentioned one more thing.

"Dad, when I met the evil spirit last night, when I stood face to face with it, there was a cold force against my skin trying to pour into my body, and then some changes occurred in my soul emblem."

"Goddess~"

Dad groaned helplessly: "Isn't it interesting for me to run around like this?"

He grabbed Jenkins, and the two rushed to the church without stopping, and happened to meet Captain Binsey in the corridor of the courtyard.

"Dad, didn't you just leave just now?"

"Something happened again."

Dad replied like this, and Captain Binsi immediately showed a sympathetic expression when he saw that Jenkins was also there.

This time, Dad took Jenkins directly to Miss Bevanna. She looked a little tired, but still listened carefully to the two men describing what happened.

The first thing to do is to confirm that Jenkins is really Jenkins and not replaced by someone with a similar soul emblem.

This was easily confirmed. Under the gaze of the secret keeper, he faced the sage's holy symbol on the Gate of All Things and called for the sage's gaze.

Brilliant golden light burst out from Jenkins' body, and warm and soft eyes were projected from the void as if they were real... Then nothing happened, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Miss Bevanna went directly to the Gate of All Things to get something, and then returned to her office with Jenkins, while her father stayed in the underground space with the secret keeper.

"Mr. Williamt, you don't need to worry. Although the mutation of the soul emblem is extremely rare, it has not never happened."

These were Miss Bevanna's first words. She placed a book tied with a brass chain between the two of them.

The cover of this book is made of leather, but has become dirty yellow and curled due to the power of time. There are a few words daubed on it with black paint that looks like blood. That was an ancient text that Jenkins had yet to learn.

"This is B-11-5-2938, St. Pym's Collection Book."

"Saint Pym? Please tell me, does this refer to the famous holy son of the [Travel and Contract] Church?"

"Yes, Saint Pym is a saint who lived in the 16th century, and this book is his collection. This saint, like most believers of the Great Traveler Church, loves to travel, and he will The commemorative items I saw during my travels are stored here. I think Dad must have told you his story, right?"

Miss Bevanna asked, pushing the tea cup towards Jenkins.

He thanked him softly and unconsciously rubbed the outer edge of the cup with the lid, recalling the story his father told him:

"Yes, because the time is too long, dad thinks that this story has certain fictional elements. The story tells that when Saint Pym was passing through a small village, he accidentally discovered a very beautiful valley. Even though the valley was The scenery of spring can also be shown in winter. Saint Pim learned about this from the villagers, so he went happily, but he did not expect that all this was a conspiracy. The villagers in the village had long been controlled by the cultists, and they were cruel. He was selfish, cruel and ruthless, and used some means to control Saint Pym before killing him."

Jenkins paused and continued:

"Dad said that this is a story that every traveler believer knows. The purpose is to warn travelers not to trust strangers easily."

Although the fairy tale literature in this world is not very developed, there are many warning records in religious stories.

"Yes, this is the story circulating now, and the truth of the matter is more complicated than this. If we have time, we can talk about it again. The focus today is this collection book left by Saint Pym, which is what people When I was sorting through his relics, I discovered that maybe there were too many extraordinary materials in the collection, or maybe it was infected by Saint Pym's own power. In short, this collection became a Class B extraordinary material."

She put her hand on the book in front of her.

"But since it is an item left by the Holy Son of the Traveler Church, why is it here with us...I mean, isn't this a sacred item of the Traveler Church?"

"This involves some stories from the past, um... there are no conflicts between the Zhengshen Church. So, do you understand?"

Miss Bevanna raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man with her beautiful eyes.

Jenkins was stunned for a moment, showed a surprised expression, and then nodded slowly.

"This is only reasonable~"

He sighed in his heart.

"In short, this collection book has extraordinary power for various reasons. Theoretically, it can temporarily store and seal all items. After Nolan Diocese obtained it, it often used it to seal some dangerous things until these More appropriate containment measures have been found for the item. Therefore, within the scope of Nolan Parish, the danger level of this item is very high, and there are only three people in the parish who have the authority to take it out of the Gate of All Things."

Miss Bevanna said as she tapped the chains with her slender white fingers. With a clattering sound, they automatically detached from the surface of the book, and then lay neatly in a circle on the other side of the table.

"Mr. Willamt, most of our next conversations are confidential. I think you should also know the confidentiality regulations."

He nodded and could see that the light of divine magic had enveloped the entire room. This was a measure to prevent eavesdropping, counter-prophecy and divination.

"Currently, there are a total of 37 numbered items stored in B-11-5-2938, including 34 mysterious items, 2 extraordinary items, and 1 gift."

"Wait, does the gift also need to be contained?"

"Yes, some unowned gifts are more destructive than tricks."

She explained simply, without elaborating on what the gift was. Carefully opening the first page of the book, Jenkins, who was nearby, even vaguely smelled the decaying smell unique to ancient books.

Chapter 372 Chapter 367 Health Checkup

[The meaning of travel is not storage, but storage will make travel more meaningful. 】

There is only this sentence on the first page, probably because the ink used at that time was mixed with gold powder. Although the ink is very light, you can still see a little golden light. Although it was not a common language, the writing in the 16th Age had not changed much compared to today, so he could probably guess the meaning.

Seeing that Jenkins had finished reading, Miss Bevanna turned to the second page, which was a table of contents written in faded ink.

"What we are looking for is an extraordinary item, B-01-1-9839, emblem storage box. This box can deprive the giver of the soul emblem and cause permanent damage to the giver's soul. More importantly, its The effect is passive. Unless it is in a sealed state, it will continue to have an effect on all grantors within a 13.9-meter radius from the center of the circle. This thing has been contained here for 13 years, and this book has also been contained. It has reached the capacity limit. If more dangerous items do not appear, this catalog should not be changed. "

The woman's finger pressed on the catalog of the collection and slowly slid down:

"Okay, on page 20. Mr. William, please be prepared. After leaving the collection, I still have a way to limit the effect of B-01-1-9839, but please concentrate, otherwise it will be easily affected."

"Okay."

Jenkins nodded as if facing a great enemy, then thought of something, opened the door and threw the chocolate on his knees out through the crack of the door.

Even if the door was closed again, Jenkins could still hear the cat's cry.

Miss Befanna rubbed the pages from the side with her fingertips, and then opened the 20th accurately. Her right hand inserted into the pages, and with the numbing sound of glass friction, she took out a vermilion wooden box that was less than the size of a palm.

The surface of the wooden box was inlaid with some gold threads, which were interwoven on the six sides of the box to form six extremely complex runes.

Coincidentally, Jenkins had seen these six runes recently at his father's place. According to his superficial learning, this rune was born in the 9th century and lost in the 13th century.

Until the beginning of this era, they were magically reinterpreted and gradually began to be integrated into the modern ritual system. The six runes are combined in the order of up, down, left, right, front, and back to form the meaning of "plunder"; the combination in the order of left, right, front, back, and up and down constitutes the meaning of "soul"; the combination in the order of front, back, up, down, and left, up, down, and left, Jenkins has seen that word, but he has not memorized it yet, and needs to go back and look up the information to know.

The box is shaking constantly, but it can only shake because of the pressure of the woman's palm emitting divine light.

Although he did not feel any discomfort, Jenkins still raised his right hand to cover his forehead and pretended to be dizzy.

"I'm fine, just continue."

He suppressed his throat and said in an unpleasant voice.

According to Miss Befanna's explanation, this emblem storage box has some interesting additional functions in addition to robbing the soul emblem of the gifter. One of them is to analyze the emblem, which is to check whether the emblem is normal.

This process was originally only possible in the box, but after hundreds of years of research and experiments in the Nolan Parish, a safe way was finally found.

Under the supervision of Miss Befanna, Jenkins cut his finger with a silver dagger and dripped blood on the surface of the box. Of course, in the process, he activated the ability of [Healing Breath] as instructed, causing a light green mist to emerge from around his body.

Without this step, Jenkins would be very worried about how many emblems this box could identify.

The blood was very evenly absorbed by the gold thread, and the vibration of the box stopped immediately.

A few seconds later, blood-red mist gushed out from the gap of the box. They stayed two inches above the lid of the box, changing to form the appearance of a sapling.

The sapling was a little illusory, and the red color of the blood made it look particularly weird.

"What does this mean?"

"Normal."

Miss Bevanna stretched her neck to observe the sapling from above:

"The color represents that the soul is not polluted, so it maintains the original color of the blood; the complete shape represents that the soul is not damaged or injured. Moreover, since your emblem can be shown so clearly, it means that your soul is particularly strong. Mr. William, to be honest, even if I conduct this test, I can't show the emblem to this extent."

Jenkins smiled awkwardly, but fortunately Miss Bevanna only sighed. Since he became the Son of God, it seems that the tiny abnormalities on his body can be understood by others.

"Thank you, sage!"

Drawing the holy emblem on his chest devoutly, Miss Bevanna thought that Jenkins was thankful that there was nothing wrong with his soul, but in fact he was thinking something that could be considered blasphemous.

"So, this change is harmless?"

"At least for now, it is. We have already inquired with the Holy See, and there should be more information there. But don't worry, Dad should have said that the change of soul emblems is not something that has never happened, and in most cases it is a good thing."

She paused and nodded: "Since one change has occurred, it is possible that a second change will occur. Your soul ability is related to life, healing, etc., so last night it was activated by the opposite power of death, which is probably like this..."

"Yes, I think so too."

Jenkins nodded seriously.

"I wonder if you have heard of the Pontoon Winery? On the 31st, something went wrong there, probably caused by the followers of the Lord of the Undead who were entrenched there. Now the whole area is filled with huge spirits of life. The success rate of holding rituals related to life in such a place is almost 100%. I can give you a pass. Go there and take a look when you have time. Maybe you can gain something. When you take the fighting course with me next week, I will tell you something about that place..."

"Is that so? That's great!"

He smiled shyly, and was sure that there would be no more gains from that place.

But he still had to go there once. He still understood the principle of acting a full set.

Jenkins also asked Miss Befanna about what happened on the 31st. Although he had experienced these things personally, it was very interesting to listen to them again from the perspective of others.

Chapter 373 Chapter 368 Award

According to Miss Befanna, apart from the murder of the head of the opera troupe, the other four events on the 31st all magically pointed to the believers of the New God, which made Jenkins sigh at the fun of fate.

The church now believes that the number of believers of the New God is small, and Nolan City is the main place of activity. Their organizational structure is extremely streamlined, everyone has their own duties, and they are all high-level gifters. Combined with the performance of the New God, there is reason to believe that all believers are proficient in the ability to distort fate and resist divination.

Jenkins had nothing to say. As long as he was not found out, even if people thought that the believers of the New God had two heads and eight hands and spit on the street, he would never refute it.

"Speaking of which, there is another thing I want to find you recently."

Miss Befanna has put the box back into the book and rewound the chain. With a snap of his fingers, the golden magic traces on the wall disappeared immediately, and Jenkins consciously opened the door and picked up the cat.

It looked a little angry and kept trying to scratch his face with its front paws.
