The Master of the Strange Realm

Turning around, he ran toward the wall, then pounced through the three-layer wooden side wall and fell from the third floor to the ground outside.

This monster, which could not die even if its heart was crushed by a sword, would naturally not die from falling damage. And its rash fall from the sky also caused panic among other pedestrians in the camp.

I don’t know who was lucky, there happened to be a vendor selling cheap clothes below. After the ghoul fell, it immediately grabbed clothes to cover its unusual skin and face. Then Jenkins didn’t see clearly what it threw downstairs, but the flames immediately jumped up, as if the building material of this tower was not wood but oil.

The young woman (Jenkins) standing in front of the hole created by the collision, her clothes fluttering in the afternoon breeze, standing with her back to the sun, making it impossible for pedestrians to see her face clearly.

Subconsciously reaching out to use [Frozen Ice] to stop the fire, but the flames spread quickly, and when the ghoul fled to the crowd watching the fire, it had become increasingly uncontrollable.

If [Ice Condensation] is used rashly in this situation, it will definitely attract widespread attention. Although the church has confidentiality regulations for ordinary people to contact the extraordinary, there are hundreds of people watching downstairs now, and Jenkins does not want to cause too much trouble for Nolan's church. After all, the church has enough troubles.

He turned and left in front of the hole, and did not want to chase the ghoul. After waking up Mr. Dubai and the middle-aged accountant, the three of them hurried to the auction hall.

At this time, the girls also knew about the fire downstairs. Billowing black smoke was pouring out from the joints of the wooden floor under their feet, and the crackling sound of burning was approaching here little by little.

It is obvious that this building does not use fire-proof paint or other fire-proof measures. The combination of dry wood and breezy weather caused the flames to burn to the second floor almost immediately, and spread to all sides of the camp with this tower as the center.

It is definitely not possible to run upstairs. Once the load-bearing beams downstairs are burned, the possibility of people falling to death upstairs is only slightly less than the possibility of being burned.

"Go down while it has not completely burned to the third floor."

Jenkins said at the stairs leading downstairs, but no one responded to his call. He could only look back at the terrified Britney standing with her friends in the crowd, then rushed to the sea of ​​fire on the second floor with the stone box in one hand and his cat in the other. Soon, the heavy footsteps disappeared downstairs.

Chapter 1304 Chapter 1283 The Visit of Miss Mirror and Glasses

Seeing the brave girl (Jenkins) disappear at the corner of the stairs, the people trapped on the third floor looked at each other. Some wanted to follow Jenkins' bold steps, but they were forced back by the waves of fire after a few steps.

Some people wanted to jump out of the window, but this is a tower, not an ordinary building. The height of each floor is higher than the average height of an ordinary building. Jumping down from the current position is basically equivalent to jumping down from the attic roof of a four-story apartment facing the street.

In addition, the camp outside was also a sea of ​​fire at this time. Not to mention the ladies who were guests, even the men who were guards did not have the courage.

"Look over there!"

The girl standing at the window suddenly shouted, and people flocked to the window.

In the distance of the sea of ​​fire that was spreading outward, a towering cloud ladder that looked like an ancient siege ladder was slowly moving towards this side.

The one who pushed this ladder was naturally Jenkins. After he went downstairs and saw that there was no one nearby, he directly constructed this exaggerated ladder with telekinesis. Although it looks exaggerated, only the stone skin on the surface is real stone, and the inside is actually solid ice. He happened to find a water storage bag from a shop nearby. Without this, his [Ice Condensation] could not gather so much water from the air.

At the bottom of the ladder, there was a circular wooden wheel drawn by Jenkins. This thing was quite impractical, but fortunately he only needed to push it a short distance.

After the top of the ladder touched the window, Jenkins immediately disappeared from below and returned to the sea of ​​fire on the first floor of the tower. After finding the load-bearing pillars, he used his ability to protect those pillars from being burned in the sea of ​​fire to buy more time.

He waited until Britney escaped safely and the people upstairs also escaped from the third floor before running out of the sea of ​​fire. First, he destroyed his ladder, and then hurried away.

Three hours later, the sun set and the flames finally went out, but the camp had been burned into ruins, with only traces of the towers in the center.

Black smoke rose from the ruins, and explosions occurred from time to time. A large number of people gathered outside the camp, including the city hall, the fire brigade, reporters, local residents, doctors and wounded. The noisy sounds could be faintly heard by Jenkins and Hathaway on the hill a few miles away.

The two looked at the ruins with black smoke in the distance in silence. After a long time, Hathaway asked with difficulty:

"I just asked you to follow Britney and find out what she was doing. How did you make things like this?"

"This is all an accident..."

It was difficult for Jenkins to explain, even though he had explained the encounter with the ghoul, but the coincidence was indeed worth thinking about. Fortunately, Britney was not injured. After hearing the news, Hathaway went to visit her before meeting Jenkins. The blonde girl had no other problems except being a little scared.

Now that Britney has returned to her home in the city, I believe Mrs. Michael will not let her go out again in the short term.

"The corpse of a ghoul is extremely flammable. The one I killed is probably burned to ashes now. I will go to the black market in a while and pass the whole story to the church through an intermediary. The church will investigate the one that escaped. Ghoul."

He could only avoid the topic of Bryony. After all, the golden girl's crisis was directly caused by Jenkins.

Hearing Jenkins' words, Hathaway nodded slightly, thinking that Mr. White Cat mentioned at the last party that the three types of alien species [Ghoul], [Frenzy Demon] and [Bone Eater] were mixing together to plot a conspiracy, so Then he reminded Jenkins that Nolan probably had more than just those two ghouls.

Jenkins naturally understood what she was thinking, and immediately said that when passing on the information, he would exaggerate some details to keep the church sufficiently vigilant.

The main reason why things developed to this point this afternoon was not only the ghoul and Jenkins, but also the stone box he was holding.

The box has been inspected, and the patterns on it have played a role in hiding the aura. But after trying it, I found that these patterns were specifically designed for the mirrors in it. If other spiritual materials are put in, there will still be spiritual light.

Only one-third of the mirror was broken inside the stone box, and Jenkins had figured out that it was the [Incomplete Treasure Hunting Bronze Mirror] numbered B-07-4-2637.

This is a rather weird mirror. The complete mirror has three fragments, and those three different fragments have all been found by people in history, even in the same era. According to the drawings left behind, people can be sure that the three mirrors with different edges are complete parts of the entire bronze mirror.

But the three broken mirrors have never been pieced together, and any attempt to restore them will inevitably lead to failure. And a single broken mirror, like the one in Jenkins' hand, can increase the success rate of finding something when carried on the body.

For example, if you forget where you put your keys at home, you can find them quickly with this mirror.

As for how the virtual concept of "increasing the success rate" was tested, this may have to be explained by the [Church of Destiny and Law].

Of course, broken mirrors can also be used as disposable items. The specific method is to find a random way to discard it, and while discarding it, write the item you want to find on the mirror with your own blood.

When the broken mirror is discarded, the discarder can pick up clues to help him find the item, but the lost mirror can never be found again.

The so-called "clues" here are not drawings such as treasure maps that point to a clear location, but abstract clues, and the more you want to find precious things, the more vague the clues you pick up.

The only exception is if you are looking for one of the three mirrors, then when the mirror is discarded, the discarder itself will disappear, and no one knows where they went.

"You can never find each other, but you can find other items. This is fate."

Those were the last words in the document that Jenkins saw.

In short, this is a very useful thing. The ghoul is looking for this mirror probably because of the "treasure" under the construction site of the "Fidicli Kingdom Bank Nolan Branch" mentioned by Mr. White Cat.

Hathaway suggested that Jenkins take it to Loon so that the ghouls would never find it again.

"Also, remember to write a letter to Britney and write some sweet words in the letter to comfort her. If you can't write, I can write it for you, but you must send it to Nolan."

Hathaway did not forget to give her instructions, but asked Jenkins to write the letter and hand it to Britney a week later.

"I understand, and I will comfort her."

"It's good to understand. I originally wanted to keep you overnight tonight, but now, I can only go and accompany Britney. I won't keep you for dinner. Next time you come to see me, remember to write the letter and I will read it for you. one look."

After saying that, the red-haired lady turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she still didn't hear Jenkins' voice urging her to stay. So he turned around to question him, but Jenkins and his cat had already disappeared among the green leaves.

"This guy......"

The woman said angrily.

Jenkins naturally didn't hear Hathaway's not-so-subtle hint, so he was still depressed when he returned to Loon, worried that because of the frightened Britney, he would be hated by the red-haired girl for a while.

Alexia, who later returned from the city, asked what happened and came to the conclusion that Jenkins had been too idle recently. Dolores happened to be busy with official duties, so she suggested that Jenkins could appropriately reduce the number of times he returned to Nolan, and instead help process some unimportant documents at the manor, or hold public lectures or even book signings in Loon:

"The beautiful ladies of Loen are all waiting for you."

she said.

After dinner, Jenkins used the spiritual magnet stored in the ice castle to return to the snow-capped mountains. Then he took out the three chess pieces: knight, astrologer and priest, and returned to the manor to give them to Dolores.

After today's fight with the ghoul, he found that although the basic damage of these chess pieces was not comparable to most of his abilities, they could still be effective when faced with a multi-person attack, so he let Dolores keep it. Very secure for her.

Just like this, Monday of the new week came. After breakfast, the manor welcomed guests from far away. That was the glasses lady that Jenkins met in Hot Spring Town. After receiving a handwritten letter from Dolores in Loon City, she traveled day and night and finally arrived in Loon last night.

After a night of repairs, I met Jenkins at the manor this morning.

After not seeing each other for just three weeks, the appearance and temperament of Jenkins and Miss Glasses have not changed much, but they can no longer get along as equals as they did in the strange world.

Even though Jenkins still had his original attitude, he instinctively felt that Miss Glasses had an indescribable awe for him.

The first was to inquire about the physical health of another companion in the Strange Adventure. Mr. Stone was mentally traumatized and did not wake up when Jenkins parted with them. But now the situation is getting better. Although there are still minor problems such as photophobia, the man who has woken up is recovering step by step. He hopes that he can get rid of the haze of that strange situation by resting for a while.

The purpose of talking about this was to get closer to each other. Then Jenkins did not beat around the bush, but said very straightforwardly:

"Miss Glasses, I think you also know from the letter that this time I have something to ask you, not Dolores. Please don't be nervous..."

He saw that the woman sitting across the table was a little embarrassed, so he comforted her softly, and then asked:

"Although this is a bit rude, I want to confirm your belief first... May I ask, are you a believer of the Great [God of Ritual and Mystery]?"

False god believers are a very embarrassing existence in human society, but such believers are not a very small minority. Therefore, generally speaking, asking about your faith after meeting is as impolite as asking about your age, weight or income.

Chapter 1305 Chapter 1284 The Responsibility of Guarding Secrets

"my faith?"

The glasses lady looked at Jenkins seriously and said, "I can answer this question, but similarly, since you are asking about my privacy, I also want to ask about your privacy. What is your relationship with Her Highness Dolores?"

"I don't think you are such a gossip-loving Gifter. What's the point of this question?"

Jenkins did not answer immediately,

"I want to confirm whether Her Highness Dolores is worthy of my following. Since I choose to follow Her Highness, I naturally have to make a clear judgment at all times to determine whether my decision is valuable."

The woman said this, and her answer reminded Jenkins of Miss Magic. He immediately understood that from the bottom of his heart, the glasses lady and the magic lady in front of him were the same kind of person.

"I am the holy son of the Sage Church, and I promise to marry Dolores when she turns eighteen."

He introduced briefly.

"I understand that I am indeed a believer of my Lord [the God of Mystery and Ritual], and I am proud of it."

The woman said seriously, and then added:

"It is a blessing to the Kingdom and His Highness that you can choose His Highness."

"Thank you for the compliment...ahem."

Jenkins himself felt a little embarrassed, but at least he had not forgotten the serious matter this time, so he stopped going around in circles and asked directly:

"Actually, the reason why you took the trouble to come to Loen from Hot Spring Town this time is because there are some important things I want to ask. You don't have to be stressed. I know that some things may involve secrets that cannot be told. In short, since you are indeed The person I’m looking for, then what I want to ask about is this.”

As he said that, he took out the slate of "Disaster Psalms" that he had already prepared from under the desk. The mature and intellectual lady with glasses was obviously startled when she saw this thing, and then shook her head blankly:

"Sorry, what is this? I don't recognize this thing."

"This is a lie."

Jenkins said in his mind, not surprised that the glasses lady didn't admit it. After all, that was the inheritance she inherited. The secrets she had guarded and the responsibilities she had fulfilled since the 15th Era were secrets that countless people had kept for their entire lives. Jenkins would have been surprised if he had told her as soon as he asked her.

"This was not found in Loen, nor even in the Kingdom of Hampavo. This is an ancient artifact found in Nolan City. I think you should know what the location of Nolan means."

The bespectacled lady sitting across the desk nodded slowly, but said nothing and still looked confused.

"Since you don't want to say it, let me tell you. I have investigated and found out that this stone tablet is related to Cavendish, the mad poet who was active at the end of the 15th Era."

Observe the expression of Miss Glasses when saying this. According to Miss Magic, the real name "Cavendish" is a name recorded only by the sect of the God of Ritual and a small number of ancient documents.

But Miss Glasses still didn't say anything, her expression seemed to be curious about the story Jenkins was about to tell.

"The prototype of the stone tablet is the physical manifestation of the unique sexual power possessed by the mad poet Cavendish, and possessing a copy of the prototype is one of the conditions for obtaining that power... These things, do you know?"

"Sorry, Baron, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say."

The woman said awkwardly.

"You don't need to use a formal title like Baron. You still call me Mr. Cat, and I have no problem with it."

"But your status is noble, so I naturally have to respect you more."

"So do you know who I am? I mean, who am I to you?"

Jenkins decided to ask the question differently. He glanced at the cat standing on the desk. The cat was pointing its head at Dolores' inkwell, twitching its nose as if sniffing the ink.

"You are a well-known young writer, a baron of the Kingdom of Fidictry, and a... friend of Princess Dolores Stuart."

She said the word friend very ambiguously.

"Yes, but you also missed one point. I am also a benefactor who was born in Nolan."

The glasses lady didn't answer, not knowing what Jenkins wanted to express.

"This slate was not found by Dolores' men in Nolan, but by me in Nolan. The situation at the time was very interesting. In addition to my friends and I, there was a group of people who wanted to grab this stone. Stone, but they were unlucky enough to be captured by the Zhengshen Church. Therefore, I began to wonder what this ordinary stone was."

"Anyone trying to snatch it?"

Miss Glasses hesitated before asking. Jenkins felt relieved when he heard this question. She compromised because of the news.

"Yes, I have friends in the church, and I am sure they are from a mysterious organization. That organization probably knows what this is and wants to use it, so it came to rob it."

He sighed pretentiously, then pointed at the stone slab and said:

"I searched a lot of information but couldn't find any information about this stone slab, until I asked a friend, a friend who also believed in [the God of Ritual and Mystery], and she told me about the mad poet.

That friend once fought alongside me and is very trustworthy. I have seen her use an ability to jump into the air and summon a golden ritual matrix to summon falling meteorites and fireballs... Later I remembered that I actually saw this ritual when I was in Hot Spring Town. Once. "

The glasses lady was silent. After Jenkins said this, she also understood the reason why she was found.

"That friend doesn't know much about the mad poet, so I came to you. Let's put it this way, madam, I am not a villain who wants to master evil abilities. I just want to find out the origin of the mad poet and learn about it. Something that could lead to a world disaster."
