The Master of the Strange Realm

In the dim room, Jenkins frowned and looked at the machine in front of him, and the cat watched quietly. The gorgeous light and shadow effects made the shadow on the man's face jump quickly. He couldn't wait too long now.

B-08-2-8214 did not directly output the product like in the divination class. In the bright light, the machine continued to operate without stopping, which disappointed Jenkins who thought he could get the weapon immediately.

After waiting for five minutes, it was still the same. Jenkins even suspected that the machine was broken.

The local abnormalities in the room and the surging energy tides can clearly show how extraordinary the item that is about to be born is, but Jenkins really has no time to wait. The battle outside is very fierce. The undead army has the advantage of quantity and the living people have the advantage of quality.

The church should be able to cope with it now, but the sleeping living people are simply pigs without resistance.

When I opened the Eye of Truth to observe the energy fluctuations, I unexpectedly saw another gifter appear at the door of the church, and he was not a scribe of the Church of the Sage.

Two women entered the church from the main entrance and headed towards the building with a clear goal. It was Miss Audrey and her teacher, Mrs. Bronion...Miss, Jenkins originally thought that the demigods were now looking for trouble with Pompeii.

"What are they doing here?"

He and Cat could leave here at any time, but the machine that Jenkins invested a lot of precious materials and items in did not have the function of temporarily stopping.

Maybe it would be good to avoid the limelight for a while, but Jenkins felt that things would not be so simple. Although it was inappropriate for him to appear here at this time, the two pagans who appeared when the church's defense was vacant were more suspicious than his behavior.

"Yes, I am the son of the Sage Church, and this is the Sage Church. Why should I be afraid of two pagans?"

After figuring this out, his back straightened up immediately. He told Chocolate to take care of the machine here temporarily, and then threw two [Silence Charms] in the room to cover up the unusual noise, then turned and walked out of the door, walked naturally towards the stairs, and then "coincidentally" met two fortune-tellers there.

The women wore the same clothes today, with a smock with complicated tassels over a lavender gauze skirt. The smock was also outlined with stripes in gold and silver. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be an ancient spell, which Jenkins had only seen in his father's collection of books.

"Mr. William, staring at an unmarried woman's clothes is not a gentleman's behavior."

Miss Bronion reminded that she looked at least 40 years old and it was unknown whether she was true or false to claim to be unmarried.

Looking at Miss Audrey, she had a sulky expression.

"Good morning, both of you."

As he spoke, he looked out the window of the corridor at the black sky and strange fog outside the window. Today's temperature is at least ten degrees lower than yesterday, as if the spring that had just arrived was driven away by winter again.

"Good morning, Mr. William... But as far as I know, you should be baptized in the Evergreen Forest now?"

The women really came for Jenkins, and Jenkins didn't believe it was just a simple encounter.

"What are the two ladies doing here?"

He was a little annoyed with Miss Bronion in his heart, but this woman was Miss Audrey's teacher, so at least on the surface, Jenkins had to show proper courtesy.

"Of course, I'm looking for you."

Miss Bronion said with a smile. Although the woman looked old, there were few wrinkles on her face. It was difficult to judge how old she was this year, but she and Robert met thirty years ago.

She reached out and patted Miss Audrey's shoulder, motioning her to continue explaining.

"We know you're in trouble, so we're here to help you."

Miss Audrey looked quite reluctant, but she still handed the paper bag in her hand to Jenkins, and said something that surprised the man:

"There is the learning method of [Performer] and B-10-3-4093 [Reader's Notes] (Chapter 857). B-10-3-4093 is a thank-you gift from the Sage Church to thank us for our help."

The man subconsciously took a step back, and the alertness on his face could be clearly felt by the other two people present.

"I don't understand."

"No, you do."

Miss Bronion took a step forward as if she was chasing Jenkins. Miss Audrey tried to pull her hand, but she shook it off.

The eyes of the demigod fortune teller were filled with fanaticism that Jenkins couldn't understand. Just as Alexia said, this woman really looked like a lunatic.

"You understand what this is, William, you must understand."

"No, I don't understand at all."

He shook his head violently and turned around to leave. The woman didn't stop him, but asked:

"Are you really not curious about your family?"

The footsteps stopped.

"Can you give me an answer?"

He asked with his back to the women, and Miss Audrey couldn't help but clenched her fists.

"Of course not, I don't know all the truth, but I can help you. Thirty years ago, my chance encounter with your father was a trick of fate. Now I understand what that encounter meant to me. I lost an opportunity that could only appear once in an era, but now Audrey has this opportunity again... Young William, are you really not curious about your family? I think you should have realized your extraordinary talent a long time ago."

Jenkins didn't move forward after all. He sighed and turned to look at the bewitching woman.

"What is in the bag?"

"An opportunity, an opportunity that may allow you to ascend to heaven in one step. The believers of the God of Lies and other ambitious people are ready to welcome the end of the era. And as one of the destined participants, one ticket is far from enough for you. This is the second ticket."

The woman did know something, but she obviously didn't know enough. When her teacher said "one ticket", Miss Audrey showed a sneer, but only for a moment.

Fighting wits and courage with her teacher is what Miss Audrey has been doing since she was a teacher. She would never tell anyone what she knew, and even if she did, no one would believe her.

The seemingly simple and innocent man was carrying more than just a qualification.

Chapter 914 Chapter 897 Obtaining and abandoning (3/10)

"What ticket?"

Hearing this, Jenkins felt relieved. He originally thought that his identity was completely exposed.

"You are a natural fortune teller, William, and you have the power of fate. I couldn't see it clearly before I became a demigod, but now, that kind of fate that can even be visualized is about to burst out of your soul. Or about your family's affairs, do you understand why I mentioned it again and again?"

"She thinks that [Unknown Future] or [Origin of Life] is the savior emblem? The savior emblem I have obtained now is also located in the core of my soul together with these two abilities. Could it be that this made Miss Bronion see it wrong? Or, one of these two abilities is really a savior..."

Jenkins thought to himself, drooping his eyelids and thinking for a while, and reached out to take the paper bag from Miss Audrey's hand.

"What do I need to do for you?"

"Use the new power to defeat Skrull Pompeii and fulfill Audrey's prophecy about the 'cemetery', 'black cat' and 'elder'."

"Why should I do this?"

"For you, this is a process that must be experienced. For us, this is a process of pursuing and guiding destiny. Now this city really needs to be saved, doesn't it?"

Miss Bronion wanted to grab Jenkins' hand, but this time, without the objection of Mr. Writer, Miss Audrey stopped her hand.

"This is my student, please show some respect."

Miss Audrey was probably really angry.

"I know this very well."

Miss Bronion's voice was very soothing. The two women looked at each other for a while before they retracted their arms at the same time in tacit understanding.

"Do your best, William. No fourth person will know about today's conversation, and we will provide you with all the help you need. With the help of the maze, Skru Pompeii has escaped from the siege of the demigods again. Now it's your turn."

"I can't find him either."

"No, you can find him."

The woman raised her finger and prompted: "Cemetery, black cat, elderberry. Do you understand?"

Jenkins certainly didn't understand that if the town under Nolan was included, it would take three days to check all the cemeteries around the city.

And elderberry is not a rare plant, and stray black cats don't dislike settling in cemeteries. If you really follow these three tips to search, I'm afraid that even if the undead army conquers Nolan, Jenkins won't be able to find any trace of Skru Pompeii.

So Jenkins needs some "miracles" to help him, and the way to trigger miracles is to build a stage of his own.

"After going around in circles, I still have a connection with it in the end... No, the Savior Emblem is the [Fate Stage], not the [Stage] puzzle lock..."

The fortune tellers left after giving the hint, and Miss Audrey asked Jenkins to find time to meet her next week. She probably wanted to explain what happened today, and Jenkins really needed an explanation.

After confirming that the two women had left the church, he turned back to the room just now. The machine was still humming, and the green spirit of life overflowed from the drawer on the right, and the thick green smoke could even be seen with the naked eye.

Chocolate meowed as a greeting, and his amber eyes stared at the machine tightly, occasionally swallowing his saliva.

He opened the paper bag in his hand, which contained the paper recording the [Performer] ability learning ceremony and B-10-3-4093 [Reader's Notes].

B-10-3-4093 looks like a notebook with a brown leather cover. There are hundreds of copies of it in existence, and it has frequently appeared in the libraries of sage churches across the continent since ancient times.

There is a saying that the Church of Knowledge and Books has initially mastered this extraordinary manufacturing method, but this claim is unfounded.

Its function is very simple. The user writes the learning ritual of any ability on it completely. According to statistics, there is a 67.2% probability of completely learning this ability, a 30.7% probability of obtaining an ability similar to the written ability, and a 2.1% probability of exploding and dying.

Each benefactor can only use such an item three times in his life, and after using it, the success rate of learning any ability through the ritual will be greatly reduced within half a year, and the probability of understanding the ability through the perception of the world will also be greatly reduced.

The ritual of changing luck and the specific time of use can reduce the probability of exploding and dying, but in general, this thing is also quite dangerous.

"【Performer】【Constructing the Stage】【Storyteller】... Exactly three."

His arithmetic is not bad. He knows that after three consecutive uses, the probability of successfully forming a chain ability 【Stage】 puzzle lock is about 30%.

This is not a very high probability, but at least Jenkins is not afraid of encountering the situation of "exploding and dying", he is immortal.

"First time."

He said, lying on the windowsill and writing down the 【Constructing the Stage】 he got from Miss Magic. After writing the last word, he closed the notebook and felt dizzy. If he hadn't held onto the windowsill, he would have almost fallen. But after summoning the ability light spot, [Building the Stage] was listed.

"The second time."

After writing down the [Storyteller] obtained from the serial killer, the dizziness became stronger after the ability appeared in front of him.

"Is the side effect of this item so strong?"

The cat was also looking at Jenkins worriedly, worried that he would really vomit it.

He only had two free ability slots, but now he still needed to learn the ability of [Performer]. It was impossible to upgrade to the next level in a short time. The only way was to use [Water of the Styx] to wash away an ability.

"So what should I abandon?"

He browsed through all the abilities and finally chose [Favored by Flame]. This is an ability obtained from the strange world, which makes Jenkins luckier when surrounded by flames. This is very useful because he usually summons the eternal fire during the battle process.

But Jenkins gradually discovered that his own destiny was very complicated, and [Unknown Future] well summarized his future: unknown. With this core ability, his bad luck and good luck are evenly distributed, so [Favoured by Fire] only brings some future good luck forward.

"What a crucial decision... Chocolate, did I make the right choice?"

This is a crucial decision. Once [Favoured by Fire] is abandoned, it is almost impossible to regain it. The cat could not give any advice, but just looked up at him.

There was no one else around to discuss, and it was not worth it to go to Alexia now. He could only ask the cat for advice, and the moment he saw Chocolate's innocent eyes, Jenkins had made up his mind.

"Don't I have a cat who lives freely?"

This conclusion is correct.

Section 915 Chapter 898 Creating Destiny (4/10)

[Water of the Styx] has no taste, but it is extremely cold after entering the mouth. Jenkins tried to breathe a few times, and then coughed violently. The pain spread from the nerves in the stomach to all parts of the body, and the muscles in the body began to spasm uncontrollably.

"Meow~"

Amid the cat's worried cry, Jenkins, who fell to the ground and twitched constantly, actually saw a wide black river flowing in front of him. On the waveless water, densely struggling arms stretched towards the sky in vain.

The illusion disappeared in just a few seconds, and the pain and discomfort slowly dissipated. When he stood up with the help of the floor, Jenkins couldn't help but breathe heavily, and cold sweat flowed down his cheeks.

"Is this a side effect of this potion itself, or a side effect caused by it being about to expire?"

Next time he sees Miss Magic, he must ask about this clearly. Just now, he really felt that [Undead] was about to take effect, which was really terrible.

He also wrote down the last [Performer]. After using the notebook for the third time, this Class B supernatural item transformed into a real ordinary white paper book. Fate did not play a joke on Jenkins at this critical moment. [Performer] also successfully appeared in front of Jenkins. He really hit the right 30.34% probability.

When all five abilities were possessed, the five-colored light spots emitted a little glow and kept approaching. Just as Hathaway once said, although the [Stage] puzzle lock does not require any advance arrangement, after it appears, the five abilities that constitute it will be completely ineffective.

Jenkins did not even have time to experience the usefulness of those new abilities. The five light spots came together, with the golden [Storyteller] as the center, [Performer] and [Player] on the left and right sides, [Constructor Stage] at the bottom and [String Manipulator] at the top to form a right cross. The five-colored light spots suddenly turned into a dim gray, but Jenkins could feel that he could control the puzzle lock by triggering five abilities at once.

"Not ready yet?"

He looked back at the still buzzing machine again, and Chocolate meowed in agreement.

With such convenient items and abilities as the Spiritual Magnet and [True Illusion], Jenkins didn't need to wait here all the time. He thought about it, used spells and simple rituals to deal with the strange phenomena in the room, and then left the church with the cat.

When riding the unicorn in the sky, the cat moved around in his chest dishonestly, and only calmed down after being patted.

"Mystery lock..."

As the spirit triggered the five light spots that gathered together, the five colors of gold, yellow, blue, red and white flashed in turn. The colorful cross formed by the light spots appeared in front of him, and an inexplicable sense of fulfillment appeared in his heart.

"I will find Skrull Pompeii behind the rock wall with black cats and elder trees in the abandoned cemetery in the suburbs."

He whispered softly, but in fact, this ability is not to change the world with words. Saying this sentence is just Jenkins's idea. At the moment when the chain ability was activated, the whole city became a "stage" in the eyes of the man.
