The Master of the Strange Realm

Those gears and lever structures that mesh with each other need to understand the assembly sequence in advance, otherwise you will find that you know what should be installed, but you cannot put that thing into the buckle.

Chapter 616 Chapter 605 The Star Spirit’s Warning

Jenkins originally thought he was a very patient person, but after trying for an hour and getting nothing, he still felt irritated. So I left them on the windowsill, then took the lesson plan and prepared to go to class.

"Chocolate, let's go!"

Finding that the cat hadn't followed, he poked his head in from the corridor and shouted.

"Meow~"

Chocolate lay on the window sill and shouted lazily, glanced at him, then moved his body and turned his face to the window.

"Okay, don't run around~"

Seeing that the time was almost up, he ordered his cat and closed the door.

The cat looked quietly at the starry sky outside the window, its big eyes reflected on the glass of the window. After confirming that Jenkins had left, it glanced at the pile of fine parts. Countless small black tentacle-like hands emerged from its shadow, holding the parts and starting to assemble them.

The cat continued to lie down, seeing that this work was really boring, so he let those hands work by themselves. It jumped to the ground, then ran to the bedside table and touched the shadowless lamp with its paw.

This oil lamp obtained from the Clement treasure did not find traces of its past in the church materials, and Jenkins did not find anything special about it except that it was "shadowless" and did not need to be replenished with oil. Therefore, it is usually placed beside the bed and used as a lighting tool when reading at night.

The little paw pushed the oil lamp off the table. Since the ground was covered with a thick white wool carpet, it didn't make a big sound.

The cat looked down at the lamp, licked his paws and jumped back to the carpet. The paw gently stroked the bottom of the oil lamp, and a line of small words emerged bit by bit.

It tilted its head for a while and couldn't help but yawned.

Before Jenkins' night class ended, Chocolate successfully put the delicate mechanical structures back together.

Those little black hands supported the key points of the water glass so that it would not fall apart again, while the chocolate waited quietly for a while.

Ding~

After a soft sound, the intact water cup and water reappeared, except for the position change, there was no difference from before.

The cat jumped back to the window sill, patted the water glass with its front paws, and leaned its head over to lick the water. It didn't feel that it was different from normal substances.

It is very interested in this, but now it must restore everything to its original state before Jenkins returns.

The tail tapped the cup lightly, and it could no longer be broken back into parts. Chocolate had no choice but to crawl under the bed again and find three clock hands in the small box hidden by Jenkins. This is the last remnant of that gift. Even after a long time, the white aura is still dazzling.

He fiddled with the pointers with his paws, pointing to different positions, and called out softly again:

"Meow~"

In short, when Jenkins returned to his room again, the "chocolate curiously swallowing small parts" thing that he had been worried about tonight did not happen. Everything was just as it was before he left, but he didn't know why the shadowless lamp fell on the carpet. .

After reading for a while, I washed up in the bathroom, then turned off the lights in the room, rubbed the cat huddled next to the pillow, got into the quilt and closed my eyes.

In front of him was the endless sea of ​​stars, and in the surging starry river stood the star spirit Rakul. As expected, the changes in power obtained from the star spirits will naturally arouse the thoughts of the star realm.

"Good evening."

Jenkins said hello.

"Good evening, New God."

Rakul immediately bowed and returned the greeting. She was looking for Jenkins to do something during the day.

"I'm sorry for rudely dragging you into the star realm again. But a little earlier, I felt that the connection with you suddenly weakened, and then became normal again. Are you in trouble?"

"Oh I see."

Jenkins said, stretching out his right hand in a lifting motion, and the metal lamp that lit up the starlight appeared in his hand.

"Something happened today, and my abilities have changed."

Rakul looked surprised:

"I never knew that the power given by the star spirits can also produce changes. The balance of the starry sky is the most outstanding among all powers, and the power of our star spirits comes from the oldest starry sky. What kind of power can it be? Change such a stable force?"

After getting Jenkins' permission, she used some flickering light points to examine the nature of the miner's lamp, and Jenkins also revealed that this change was related to the strange thing.

Star Spirit must have discovered something. She frowned slightly and seemed a little hesitant, but finally said softly:

"Great New God, your nature determines that your incarnation in the material world cannot be the culprit causing the end of the era, but you still have to be vigilant. The epic of time has revealed the disasters that the world will face. The destiny of this era The theme of the last chapter is steam. I don’t know how you understand this human word, but at such a sensitive moment, please pay special attention to things related to this.”

This was one of the rare times when she took the initiative to share things about the end of the era with Jenkins. It was also the first time that Jenkins heard that the Epic of Time had actually shown a perilous future.

"Steam? No, no, no, my ability is somewhat different from steam. Although the shape of this lamp is indeed closely related to the steam industry..."

He did not continue speaking. Just thinking of the end of the era, a word suddenly popped out:

"Excuse me, do you know about the beast of disaster?"

"certainly."

The female star spirit nodded slightly: "You became a god in this era and have not yet transformed into the true form of a god, so you cannot yet achieve true omniscience. At the end of every era, unique and catastrophic monsters or species will appear. The appearance of this creature means that it is less than a hundred years before the end of the real era.”

"Like ouroboros?"

he asked.

"Yes, the Ouroboros that devours the world, the nine-headed dragon that assimilates all things, the golden ants that gnaw at the World Tree, and the cloud whale that sucks up the oceans and lakes are all part of the disaster. The beasts of disaster in this era must be It is related to the steam industry. Although it may not directly cause the destruction of the world, please be careful."

Seeing what else Jenkins wanted to ask, she shook her head slightly;

"Sorry, your current form cannot defy the rules of the world. I can't tell you more in-depth content now. I will personally apologize when you transform into a true formless and formless god."

A cold smile appeared on the face that had never shown any expression. With a gentle push from his transparent right hand, Jenkins fell back from the star realm again.

"I just want to ask about the [Omniscient Mirror] again."

He complained silently in his heart.

Chapter 617 Chapter 606 Expensive Commission

By Thursday, it is already the 27th of this month, which means that the most important year-end festival of the year is approaching. But the end of the year also means troublesome things such as school exams, settlements before factory shutdowns, audits of joint companies, etc. Even Jenkins, who stayed in his father's antique store, could feel the atmosphere of tension and excitement permeating the city. .

The tradition of the New Year's Day is somewhat similar to an important religious festival in Jenkin's memory. The biggest similarity is the exchange of gifts. This not only means that Jenkins has to rack his brains to buy, but also means that the business of Dad’s Antique Shop has finally reached its peak after two months of sluggishness.

The guests were all cheerful, and few looked for trouble on the eve of the festival. Even paying the bill was much more refreshing, and the young apprentice in the antique shop even received a rare tip.

Dad would not let Jenkins hand over tips, but asked him not to give his friends gifts that he knitted at the end of the year.

“But doesn’t making it by hand mean it’s more expensive?”

It also saves money and trouble, as there is no need to hesitate and wander around in the store.

"Yes, but as a single male, I don't want your friends to think you have any special hobbies."

Maybe Dad had the right idea. When Jenkins took the time to go to Loon City and asked Miss Stuart what kind of gift she should give, she also thought that that kind of thing could be given to elders, but not to peers. Women.

"What have you given as gifts in previous years?"

A sharp question.

Jenkins quickly rummaged through those dusty memories and discovered something unexpected:

"In previous years, I only gave gifts to my family."

"Where are your friends?"

“…I don’t have friends that I can give gifts to.”

In the past, Jenkins was particularly indulgent. His so-called friends were mostly friends he met on the street, and the original owner did not think that giving them gifts had any meaning.

Miss Stuart looked at Jenkins with pity in her eyes, as did Alexia and Julia.

In the end, he didn't get any valuable advice, so he could only plan to go to the shopping street to search during the weekend.

Before returning to Nolan, he also entrusted his friends here to help him find information about the gifted black gun. He found no relevant information behind the Gate of All Things.

"A gift?"

Miss Stuart is a little envious. As a user of [Frozen Archer Chess], she can fully feel the benefits of this special item.

In the evening of that day, after saying goodbye to Hathaway and Miss Michael at the door of the club, Jenkins went to the black market and, under the guidance of the middleman Joker, met the Huntress again.

The last time they met, Jenkins remembered her joking idea of ​​"attacking the Orthodox Church", so he decided to entrust her with a very dangerous task.

"What a strange request, to find the source of the current flu."

The woman crossed her legs and leaned back, hiding her face in the darkness outside the candle flame.

"Yes, I will not hide the importance of this matter. Let's put it this way, the source of the flu is a pure blood vampire. Don't ask me why heterogeneous species can also be infected with the flu. You just need to bring me the results. I will pay you appropriately."

Although concealing the truth can reduce the cost of the commission, Jenkins will not increase the risk of this matter for the sake of gold pounds. He needs to let the female hunter fully understand the danger of this matter.

"What is the level of vampires?"

As expected, she did not refuse, but asked directly after pondering for a moment.

"If you are referring to the vampire infected with the flu, it should be level 7. I can guarantee that this level is correct."

he replied.

"Not a demigod? Then I can accept this commission, but you have to know that although I don't need to fight those strange creatures head-on, the risk is still quite high."

Jenkins took the initiative to show that he was an old customer, so she agreed to such a dangerous commission so easily.

"Of course I understand the risk, but I also know that the famous female hunter never fails."

After a little compliment, it was time to talk about the price of the commission. Jenkins was not worried about this. In the morning, he received a letter from lawyer Mr. Raul Onis. The part of the property that Viscount Augustus gave to Jenkins had all been exchanged for gold pounds. They would go to the city hall around the festival to take the final steps. By then, Jenkins would become a new young rich man in Nolan City with 40,000 gold pounds.

"I don't need gold pounds as a reward for this commission."

"Huh?"

This was a bit unexpected.

"Specify materials or items?"

"No, no, no, I remember your last commission was related to the knights of the Church of Justice."

"Yes."

Jenkins nodded.

"I believe you are still paying attention to this matter, so if the distinguished guest can provide the information I want as a reward, then you don't have to pay any price for this commission."

"I think if you can't get that information, I can't get it either."

"It doesn't matter, you can listen to my question first. If you really don't know, we can discuss other ways of trading."

The woman put down her legs and leaned forward to appear in the range of candlelight. Looking at that face, Jenkins confirmed again that he had never seen such an unrecognizable person.

"I don't care about the purpose of the knights staying in Nolan. I just want to know where the young woman with the surname Knight is now? If you are still investigating things related to them, you should know this."

Jenkins did know that, as he had guessed in the strange world, Miss Knight's family was indeed related to the legendary dragon knight family. After the dragon temporarily settled in Evergreen Forest, the two people from the Church of the Sun and Justice also moved there.

But the five churches in Nolan City were very dissatisfied with this. They all believed that the dragon was found in Nolan and should be properly handled by the local forces in Nolan.

"I don't know."

Jenkins didn't intend to tell her about this.

"Oh? All right then."

The female hunter didn't question it and leaned back again: "If that's the case, I think we can start talking about the price."

You get what you pay for, and the final investigation fee was determined to be 12,000 pounds. And in view of the great danger and uncertainty of this matter, Jenkins must pay 10,000 pounds directly as a deposit.

"But I don't have so much money now..."

He didn't want to delay this matter, but he did... No, he really had a way to get so much money in a short time in Nolan.

Chapter 618 Chapter 607 Kaleidoscope

Jenkins had sworn that he would never use even a penny in "Miss Fabry's" account, but he thought he might violate this principle now.

He knew what he was doing, and he knew that once he started doing this, similar situations might occur in the future. But Mr. Augustus's 40,000 pounds would be in his hands soon. As long as he got that money, he would not only repay the deficit this time, but he would never be short of money again.

So, after hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind to temporarily leave the black market, took out 10,000 pounds in cash before the bank closed, and then took the box and handed it directly to the female hunter. This person's reputation in the black market is absolutely trustworthy, otherwise Jenkins would not have taken out such a large deposit at one time.
