The Master of the Strange Realm

In this case, even if he really found something in the tree hole, he couldn't take it out openly. But after thinking about it, he still walked towards the giant tree. Almost everyone here knew Jenkins, so no one stopped him.

Since the rain that night, the weather in Nolan has been very good. In the city, due to the influence of thick fog, the blue sky cannot be seen, but in the suburbs far away from the city, the clear sky of early spring can be enjoyed.

The sun shines on the treetops, and the mottled shadows are projected on the ground and sway with the breeze. Occasionally, there are the calls of deer in the distance, and Jenkins can even imagine them playing by the pool.

If it weren't for the inconvenient transportation, living here would be a good choice. At least Chocolate likes this place very much. Every time he comes to the forest, he will become very active, and will actively play with all the small animals that try to approach Jenkins.

He looked up at the giant tree for a while with emotion, and then slowly approached the position under the tree.

Matching the ground part of this tree is its huge root system. The roots and a small amount of soil squeeze out of the ground together, forming a bumpy ground landscape under the tree.

On the night when the Spirit of Life erupted, the giant tree also grew again. The spreading roots just happened not to destroy the pool of water, and just happened to leave a path without root obstruction in the direction of the pool and the tree, so Jenkins didn't have to pay attention to his feet and could reach the trunk along the flat road.

The only thing here that was not affected by the incident that night was the upside-down figure under the tree. It still floated there quietly, almost blending into the scenery. The church did not intend to deal with this shadow. After all, the [God of Lies] has not yet been identified as an evil god, and publicly eliminating his saintly shadow will lead to serious consequences.

The tree hole has indeed disappeared. Jenkins reached out and patted the hard bark, and there was no hollow sound. Although he was disappointed, he felt that this was expected. When he turned around and wanted to leave, the cat who had been waiting for an opportunity jumped out of his shoulder and ran up the tree.

"Chocolate~"

The man raised his head and shouted, hoping that the cat would not run around.

"Meow~"

The cat's voice came from the dense branches higher up. Jenkins, who was underground, could see a small branch swaying slightly, which meant that the cat was there.

"Don't mess with those squirrels! You can't beat them!"

Jenkins warned under the tree, worried that his kitten would be thrown off the tree by the squirrels in a while.

"Don't rob the bird's nest either, those birds are not easy to mess with!"

He thought for a while and said again, although there was no evidence that his cat was interested in bird eggs. But when eating breakfast, the cat also accepted food such as eggs.

"Oh, and there are poisonous snakes, oh~"

Before he finished speaking, a heavy object fell from the tree. Jenkins immediately reached out to catch it. He thought that the cat accidentally touched the poisonous snake and fell off the tree in fear. But after getting the thing, he felt that the size, weight and touch were not right. It was a silver cube metal block with six dim symbols distributed on the six faces.

PS: I actually updated 170,000 words in August. I am so diligent.

Someone is recommending a book to me again:

Recommended book: "Everyone is Drunk, I'm the Only One Sober", author: Mao Doujiao

Introduction:

Invincible for 999998 lives, Zhou Lian has been defying the heavens in every life.

He is tired of defying the heavens, so he decisively chose laziness in this life and became a well-known game blogger.

One day, when Zhou Lian woke up after playing the Valkyrie copy of the globally popular MMO game "Heroes Era", he found that he had traveled to the world of the game.

And Zhou Lian found that this seemed to be a cursed world. In this world, only he was awake.

However, Zhou Lian did not want to wake up the NPCs.

"Sorry, my mother's birthday is next Thursday and 5th."

"I just want to go home."

Zhou Lian opened the gate of heaven with his sword and said so.

Chapter 936 Chapter 919 Preparation before the performance

The metal block in his hand was heavy, with complex runes and vine-like protrusions all over the surface of the metal block. This is a perfect work of art. There are six different symbols on each of the six sides, representing the sealing method, but all six symbols are now blurred.

This means that the seal has been broken. Jenkins can use and open it as long as he integrates his spirit into it.

"A piece of metal that seals divinity?"

Jenkins never thought that he would encounter such a thing as "divinity falling from the sky" one day.

The cat on the tree showed a smug smile, licked his paws, and was very happy to share food with Jenkins.

Turned around and bit the letter that had been placed in the bird's nest with his mouth, and then jumped down the tree and was caught by Jenkins.

Jenkins stretched out his hand to take the envelope out of the cat's mouth. Chocolate symbolically snatched it for a while before letting go of his mouth. When the man opened the letter, it lay on his shoulder, squinted its eyes and shook its tail. Jenkins can get pleasure from sharing food with cats, and the little cat is the same.

Checking the envelope, there was nothing but some bird paw prints. After opening it, there was only a piece of paper inside the envelope:

[This is an extra reward. You did a good job. Music will protect you, pagan. 】

This line of text is exactly the same as the text in Charles' coffin. Jenkins immediately realized that this is something left by the god of music.

Smiling and shaking his head, he put the envelope and the metal block into his coat pocket. He looked back and saw that no one was paying attention, and then reached out to touch the cat on his shoulder.

"I gained a lot today. I'll get you something delicious after I get back from the opera house in the evening."

"Meow~"

Chocolate squatted obediently and nodded desperately, then rubbed his furry face against Jenkins' stretched out finger to show intimacy.

Jenkins originally thought that he would only find some leftover materials from when the Holy Bone Sword was formed here, but it is definitely an unexpected surprise to be able to obtain new divinity. Possessing divinity means that he is invincible in the material world. Even those weird sealed objects or evil objects in the subspace are definitely no match for his godly state.

Thinking of this, my mood immediately became better. On the way back to St. George Street, I asked the driver to stop the car, and he picked up a Pang Fox grass at the edge of the field and played with it.

Pomforx grass is a plant similar to the foxtail grass that Jenkin remembers, but is only visible in the spring. Most cats like this kind of thing, but after just sniffing the chocolate, they lost interest. No matter how much Jenkins waved it in front of it, he remained unmoved and even yawned.

In the afternoon, I read at home and prepare to be checked by my dad about my recent studies after going to work tomorrow. After lunch, I prepared my clothes for going out in the bedroom. Although I was going to watch the opera, according to the news I heard when I talked to the bishop in the morning, due to special reasons, many well-known figures in Nolan City would appear in the audience. Well, Jenkins better dress more seriously.

The subtext is that this opera performance has invited enough celebrities, so Jenkins must dress formally. He now represents the Church of the Sage in the hearts of ordinary people.

Hathaway and Britney arrived at St. George Street one after another around seven o'clock. The ladies did not come together, and the blond girl came earlier. When she knocked on the door, Jenkins was still trying to figure out how to put a bow around the cat's neck, but unfortunately he couldn't catch the cunning cat.

"Are you going to bring the chocolate with you?"

"Yes, it would be too pitiful to leave it alone to look after the house."

Jenkins said while touching Chocolate's head, and the cat narrowed its eyes in comfort.

In fact, the original plan was not to carry chocolate, but in the afternoon it found divinity and made great achievements, so Jenkins changed his mind. Apart from being unwilling to be groomed, the cat is very well-behaved in other aspects. It will not run around and bark during the opera, which is the biggest reason why Jenkins can safely carry it.

"Yes, chocolate is indeed very well-behaved. I think there will be no problem even if you take it with you."

Bryony said with a smile, she stretched out her right hand with a white lace glove to touch the cat, and the chocolate escaped from Jenkins' hand.

Jenkins wasn't surprised by this; the chocolate had yet to be touched by anyone but him.

Britney is wearing a dress today that is similar to the princess dress that Miss Stuart once wore. Of course, this is also the dress of the princesses in the illustrations of "Storytellers", and the dress that her father wore in Jenkins' dream. Dressed up.

Her golden hair matched the light green skirt very well. Because she was going to sit down for a while, there was no skirt support, but the slender waistline could still be seen.

"How does this dress look?"

Brienne asked.

"Very beautiful... and so are you."

Jenkins told the truth, and upon hearing this, the girl's smile became even brighter.

The two once had an awkward night on a train during their winter vacation. As if taking this incident as a signal, the relationship between Jenkins and Hathaway progressed by leaps and bounds after that.

Jenkins was certain that Brienne had absolutely no idea about the Giver, let alone the relationship between the two. But he also didn't know how the blonde would react if she knew either of these things.

According to Jenkins' understanding of Britney, she is not the kind of "generous" girl who can compromise and is willing to share with others. Coming from a marquis family gave her an extremely independent and autonomous character. Once she knew what happened between Jenkins and Hathaway, at least the friendship would definitely be destroyed.

Some people believed that thinking about a girl while talking to another would be easily detected, but Jenkins now knew this was wrong. Britney didn't see what Jenkins was thinking, and even invited him to her small house on the outskirts of the city after tonight's performance.

"It's too late after the show. If you go back to the city, I think you won't get home until about twelve o'clock."

It is very dangerous for a single young man to visit the house of a girl of his own age at night. Jenkins was sure of this, so his eyes suddenly became wary.

"Hathaway will be there too."

Bryony said softly, and suddenly stood on tiptoes to straighten Jenkins' bow tie. Considering that she was wearing a pair of high heels at this time, this action was quite difficult.

"Hathaway is going too?"

It sounds safer for a single young man to visit the house of two girls at night.

Chapter 937 Chapter 920 In front of the Opera House

The gas lamp on the wall of the living room illuminated Jenkins in a black formal suit and the girl in a beautiful skirt. Bryony nodded slightly to Jenkins' question.

"Well, since Hathaway will go too, then I will go too."

Jenkins also nodded gently, not noticing his cat pouting. The next moment, Hathaway knocked on the door, and the two walked in opposite directions as if they were electrocuted. Britney quickly walked to the depths of the living room, while Jenkins picked up his cat, pretending to groom its fur just now, and then walked quickly to the hallway.

Mr. Nellie's words about inviting a big shot tonight were indeed true. Before the carriage carrying three people and a cat approached the Royal Opera House, Jenkins had already seen the luxuriously decorated private carriages along the way.

The cost of owning a private carriage is not just about buying horses and carriages. Various taxes, maintenance costs, feed costs, hiring fees, etc. are enough to overwhelm a normal middle-class family in a short period of time.

Considering this, Jenkins was surprised to see so many private carriages tonight, which means that the significance of this performance is not as simple as he thought.

"I heard from my father that he was going to come too. But there is military business tonight, so I can only give the invitation to my brother. It is said that he invited a beautiful girl, but he refused to tell me who it is."

Hathaway whispered aside.

"Yes, my father has also received an invitation."

The blonde girl was not as generous as Hathaway when she said this. As for the reason, it was naturally because of the "two choices" left by the Marquis before last winter.

"He will also go to the opera tonight, but those are box tickets. Go with his mother."

"Is it such a coincidence?"

So far, Jenkins still has not discovered the significance of this matter.

"Don't you understand, Jenkins?"

Brianne reminded in a low voice:

"Such a big thing has just happened in the city, and the epidemic is about to break out again. What might the nobles and merchants in the city gather together for at this time?"

"..."

Jenkins was silent for a moment.

"Will the mayor appear tonight?"

"Yes, the significance of tonight is not just about the opera. I don't know why the Sage Church didn't mention it to you, but tonight is very important to most people. Mr. Mayor will give a short speech before the opera begins, on the one hand to appease people's hearts, on the other hand..."

"Explain the Duke of Antak's affairs clearly, the war is about to begin."

Jenkins did not look at the girls, but looked at the night view outside the window. He understood all these principles, but he couldn't accept that it came so quickly.

"You really understand everything."

Britney said softly.

Hathaway raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

"How could I not understand?"

Jenkins stared blankly at the brightly lit building in the distance, where the gorgeously dressed gentlemen and ladies walked into the elegant and luxurious palace together. The path leading to the opera house was brightly lit, and people in various accents greeted each other, startling the birds in the woods nearby.

The sky in the distance was dim, but the background was also reflected in golden color by the light in front of the opera house.

This scene was reflected in Jenkins' eyes like an oil painting, but he also saw that a hundred years later, this place was desolate, and the skeletons and tombs buried the decent people here.

As if the deafening bell rang in his ears, [Bystander] suddenly lit up with purple brilliance. For a moment, Jenkins felt that he had touched a secret and unknown realm, and everything in front of him was as well-organized as the actors on the stage.

But this feeling soon faded away, because the carriage arrived at the destination and it was time to get off.

Because he was with his female companion to the opera house, Jenkins had to show his gentlemanly manners. He jumped off the carriage first, then reached out and led the girls in dresses down.

The cat stayed in the carriage and looked at Jenkins. In fact, it could jump down by itself. So Jenkins also reached out and took it down, and then put it on his shoulder. Although Chocolate didn't wear a beautiful bow or a delicate little bell in the end, the cat's black and white fur unexpectedly matched Jenkins' black formal suit.

This formal suit was a gift from Robert to Jenkins at the end of last year. He never wore it once, and it was always in the cabinet gathering dust. After returning from the Shire a few days ago, he took it to the store for dry cleaning and ironing, and it unexpectedly fit him after wearing it.

In fact, Jenkins's concept of dressing is very old-fashioned. Although it is appropriate to wear a black formal suit to attend such an occasion, when he walked on the red carpet in front of the stone steps of the opera house, he noticed that the men around him were all dressed a little too fashionable.

As for Jenkins, the most fashionable item in his outfit today should be his black leather shoes. This pair of leather shoes is a rare lace-up leather shoe. When Jenkins saw this style for the first time, he wondered if the shoemaker was joking with him.

"I can never accept men wearing stockings."

He said to the female companions on both sides of him in a low voice. Although men with female companions would hold each other's hands, they just walked a little closer in view of Jenkins' special situation.

"It's okay..."

Britney looked at the strange man walking in front of her and looked around again:
