The Master of the Strange Realm
Chapter 228
"I felt too tired from studying, so I went out to play in the countryside together. I remember John is not such a person. What kind of friends has he made?"
In order to urge his brother to get back on track, and to take responsibility for his current body, Jenkins boarded the carriage at the street corner and went to the place where the group of young people had an outing.
After crossing the entire city and walking along the country road for a long time, I saw a sparse woodland in the distance and knew I had finally reached my destination.
Nolan Private Third Preparatory Academy itself is an aristocratic school that can only be attended by the children of nobles or big businessmen, so the families of John's classmates are also rich or noble.
According to the information obtained from the dream, this forest farm is the private property of a girl named Madison, and it was she who suggested that she go to the countryside to breathe fresh air.
After letting the coachman leave in advance, he walked for a while on the edge of the forest farm and found five carriages parked on the roadside. They should have brought the young people here. The drivers smoked cigarettes and chatted about the recent weather, but no one noticed Jenkins.
He sighed and stepped off the road into the forest on some wet soil. First, they bypassed the carriage drivers, and then walked inside along the forest path.
He was not worried that he would not be able to find them. After all, no matter how bold he was, there was no reason for those students to leave the path.
Sure enough, after walking for less than five minutes, I found a fresh apple thrown under the tree. One-third of the apple was rotten, which may be why it was discarded.
Walking further, you can faintly hear the noise. Walking forward quickly, it turned out to be a group of young people. One-third of them were men. John and his friends were walking slightly ahead. From the sounds of it, they seemed to be talking about Beldiran's tidbits.
Considering that it is illegal to trespass on someone else's tree farm, Jenkins did not show up, but patted his cat.
"Meow~"
There's something unpleasant about it.
After gently scratching the cat's chin with two fingers for a while, it finally reluctantly jumped off the shoulder.
After standing there and waiting for two minutes, the cat first ran over from a distance, and then with the sound of stumbling footsteps, John also appeared.
PS: I am planning to launch a bounty in the next two days and am currently preparing.
Chapter 526 Chapter 518 Tracking in the Forest
John was wearing a loose black coat today, and his pants were bell-bottoms that are now popular among young people. The buttons on the shirt had obviously been replaced, and based on the style, Mary should have chosen them herself.
At a glance, he saw Jenkins leaning against the tree with a straight face. His whole face turned red.
"I......"
"John Wills Williams! Why are you here? I don't remember you saying that at the dinner table last night."
Jenkins himself was surprised by the stern voice.
"I......"
John looked very embarrassed.
"I met my mother at the post office in the afternoon, and she asked me to deliver the textbooks you left at home to Sal Five Star Street. You know, John, lying is a very shameful behavior, and I am ashamed of you!"
The young man was speechless. He lowered his head and walked next to his brother, quietly bearing the accusation that made him want to crawl into the cracks of the ground.
"Now tell me, why are you here?"
"Because everyone is coming..."
John explained quietly.
"So you came?"
"Yes."
He answered in a still quieter voice, paused, and before Jenkins could speak again, added: "And Miss Hoover is coming too..."
Jenkins was stunned for a second before he remembered who he was referring to.
Since his eldest brother, Newman Willamt, was often away from home, John would sometimes share his secrets with Jenkins before the arrival of some predator.
This includes his crush on his classmate Jennifer Hoover.
"oh......"
The writer didn't know what to say for a moment. He had no experience in these matters.
"Is this the first time you guys come out to play during your study time?"
he asked again.
John lowered his head and took a long time to answer: "No, the third time."
Jenkins clicked his tongue and snorted again. In fact, he didn't know how to handle this matter. But he soon found a great idea:
"I hope you will be able to confess this to Mary and Robert when you get home."
"Yes I know."
John did not object, perhaps because he knew that his objection would be ineffective.
That's enough. Jenkins doesn't have much time and has to go back to the city to prepare for the banquet in the evening. He bent down and picked up the cat at his feet, then took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into John's hands:
"Go back and admit your mistake honestly when you go home. When I go home next weekend, I hope to hear a discussion about this matter."
"This is......"
John looked at the banknotes in his hand at a loss, and the Queen smiled at him on the currency.
"Take the pocket money, I have at least more savings than Newman now."
After finishing this matter, Jenkins felt that his whole body was immersed in a wonderful feeling of pleasure. He watched John walk towards his companions with a smile, and then plucked the dead leaves from the chocolate ears. Just as he was about to turn around, the chain in the front pocket of his jacket vibrated crazily.
The place where he and John were talking was not far from the path in the forest farm, so the trees nearby were very sparse. He quickly looked around and found no approaching creatures.
He blinked again. In the direction John was walking, the black light was faint but very conspicuous.
"Goddess, what's going on?"
The vibration of the chain means that there is definitely danger nearby. If the people in front are strangers, Jenkins will definitely summon the unicorn to fly away from the area at this moment, and then return to the church to organize people to search the area upside down.
But John was right in front, and he couldn't leave reflexively. In addition, Chocolate didn't seem to feel any danger, and the frequency of the chain's vibration was not too fast. He only hesitated for a breath before deciding to follow up to see what was ahead.
John and his classmates were so vigilant that they didn't even notice that there was an adult man with a cat following them.
The group of people continued to move forward. When Jenkins ventured closer, he even saw John's classmates asking him what he had just done.
"I saw a rabbit."
The distance was too far, and Jenkins could only see John's embarrassed expression, and the meaning of that sentence was guessed based on the shape of his mouth. But this is obviously not a good excuse. If Jenkins were to answer, he would definitely say that he suddenly had abdominal distension and went to solve personal problems.
In the forest farm in winter, there are only a few trees with leaves on them, but the trunks are thick enough to hide the figure of a man with a standard figure.
He followed the group of energetic young people for another half hour along the forest path. Then, led by a girl, they left the path and entered the depths of the forest. Jenkins guessed that she was Miss Madison, the daughter of the owner of this forest farm, otherwise she shouldn't be so familiar with this place.
They were heading in the same direction as the black light that Jenkins saw, and they arrived at their destination near four o'clock in the afternoon. From above the trees in front, the dome of a broken church building could be seen in the distance.
After getting closer, it turned out to be an abandoned church standing in the middle of the woodland. The walls, pillars and dome of the church are all made of a stone material that looks good in texture, but due to serious damage, only half of the door with a large hole is left.
From Jenkins' perspective, you can look in from the door and see that there are some benches scattered throughout the chapel, and a lot of garbage is also discarded on the ground. But there are no cobwebs or floating dust.
A thin black aura seeped out from all parts of the building, but strangely, this color was very light compared to the strange things I had seen before. On the contrary, it was the same thing as the one in the basement where Jenkins first encountered the Doomsday Slate. Corpses that had been artificially inserted into horns displayed similar concentrations of aura.
"Is this church a man-made dangerous object? Or is it the prototype of a monster that has not yet been born?"
He swallowed and saw the young people walking in while talking.
According to the ordinary rules of the Orthodox Church, buildings such as churches and temples have extraordinary religious significance. Even if it is stopped for some mandatory reasons, it cannot be completely abandoned like this.
The general approach is to change it to a charity, or donate it as a welfare home. Even if it is a deserted place that cannot even be demolished, at least a priest will be left to guard it.
It can be inferred from this that the small church in front of you definitely does not belong to the Orthodox Church.
After everyone entered the church, Jenkins cautiously approached. He was pressed against the wall next to the church door, in a position where he could hear what the people inside were saying.
Chapter 527 Chapter 519 Surprise
"Is this what you call interesting? It's really hard to see this kind of building."
What came out from the church was a female voice. It sounded very clear, but the accent did not sound like a local pronunciation. She may have grown up in other places and recently came here to study.
"How about it? It's nice here, isn't it? When my father bought the forest farm three years ago, we didn't even find out that there was a church here. When we found out, we had already paid the full price because we didn't know which god was enshrined here. , I don’t dare to demolish it rashly, so I will keep it here!”
The tone was extremely arrogant, making Jenkins involuntarily think of a female bird with its gorgeous wings spread. He believed that this sentence should be what Miss Madison said.
He risked letting his soul leave his body again and took a look, and found that it was a tall girl with curly brown hair, standing in the center of everyone.
"Then, why not report it to the Orthodox Church and then dismantle it?"
John asked from the side, and his question was supported by the vast majority of people, because everyone believed in the righteous God.
"Demolish? No, no, no, Willamette."
The girl turned around and looked at the boy sitting at one end of the bench. She deliberately brought her face closer, but you didn't expect that John stretched his head forward not to be outdone, forcing the girl to step back.
Obviously, the third son of the Willamette family is better at handling various interpersonal relationships.
"People nearby have legends that this place was once the settlement of a certain false god's church, but it was abolished somehow. They all believe that the church's treasures are hidden in the church. Even before our family bought this place, the villagers We went on 'treasure hunts' many times."
"Does your family believe such rumors?"
A boy in the crowd with his arms crossed and glasses mockingly asked, then bumped the girl next to him with his arm and smiled proudly.
"Opler, maybe to your family, this small piece of land is worth a lot, but to the Madison family, the space occupied by a small church is nothing at all."
Seeing that there was a hint of gunpowder in the conversation, everyone on the side quickly tried to persuade the two.
After all, they were classmates who went to school together, and there was no deep hatred. They exchanged a few words of advice and then snorted coldly at each other, which stopped the unnecessary quarrel without losing face.
John Willamt had been silent except for a few words. He always felt that this place was very weird, but he couldn't describe how weird it was. In the end, he could only blame it on his own illusion.
The small church occupies a small area. In addition to the temple for prayer, the living room of the clergy at the rear can be reached through the corridors on both sides.
But because the damage to the building was too serious, they did not go to those dangerous places after Miss Madison's warning.
John's attention has been on Miss Jennifer Hoover. She was wearing a very beautiful skirt today, with a unique blouse in a very matching color.
John felt that his ears were hot and swollen, and his heartbeat was speeding up, even though the distance between the two people was not very close now.
A group of people came here just to see this small church. They gathered in twos and threes, talking about the interior decoration of the church, or more boring gossip.
Of course John also had friends. Four or five boys stood in front of the altar together, but the wall where the Holy Emblem should have been hung was empty.
John felt his heart beat faster again. He turned around and looked behind him, and unexpectedly found that Miss Hoover was also looking at him. The girl chuckled at John, and John felt like he was electrocuted.
The hand in his pocket was holding the newly obtained banknote tightly, and he was thinking in his mind whether he should find time to send a gift.
"Guess which great being protected this sanctuary originally?"
The voice of his companion pulled John back from his thoughts. He shook his head like an old dog in water, and then reached out to unbutton the top metal button of his coat to relieve the feeling of depression:
"No matter who it is, we should be more respectful. In my opinion, it is an extremely unwise choice to allow an abandoned church to exist here for the sake of a legend about a treasure."
Of course, the boys talked quietly to prevent the owner of the place from hearing them.
"Yo, I knew you would say that."
The companion crossed his arms, tilted his body and poked John with his elbow:
"This is what your brother told you. Let me tell you, he is really an amazing person."
"Yes, yes, but don't try to introduce your sister to him again. I don't see him every week. After all, he has moved out..."
John responded impatiently and wiped his hand on the surface of the stone altar, but did not find any floating dust.
"The Madison family is really taking care of this place."
he said.
"Maybe we can find the treasure."
The red-nosed boy speculated excitedly.
"Then the Madison family secretly silenced him and took a small part of the treasure as our pension."
John continued to pour cold water on him. He never believed in these things.
Compared with his two elder brothers, it is difficult for the youngest son of the Willamette family to find a bright spot. He does not have the extraordinary reading talent and tenacity of Newt, nor does he have the intelligent talent that Jenkins had in the past. This became more and more obvious after he got rid of his bad habits and "became a man" again.
But John's brilliance was only overshadowed by those two people. In fact, compared with ordinary people, he was still an extremely outstanding young man.
Maybe that's the bad thing about having brothers.
This church gave him a bad feeling, so after walking around with his companions, he proposed to go outside and take a look at the entire building. His proposal received support from everyone, but was unexpectedly blocked.
