The Master of the Strange Realm

Jenkins was surprised: "With so many people and involving the entire world, what kind of existence is this being summoned?"

"The sacrifice is not necessarily a summons, it may also be for another purpose, such as drawing strength and promoting the occurrence of some kind of miracle... The specific details are still being studied, and I will tell you when there is news. "

Then Miss Bevanna suddenly changed the topic and talked about other recent events in the city.

"There is news from the [Starry Sky and Balance Church] that two astrologers from their church recently entered a... strange world while Nolan was walking. But the news was unclear. I don't know what those... What do women want to express? This should be considered the big news in the city recently."

The majority of astrologers are women, and the Church of Starry Sky and Equilibrium is almost entirely female.

"Is there a special space phenomenon occurring near Nolan?"

Jenkins asked, feigning curiosity.

"I don't know. Our church doesn't get involved in this matter, so there is no latest news yet. But this is nothing new. There are several cases of people straying into strange spaces every year. There was one case in Nolan last year."

Apart from this incident, Miss Bevanna did not mention the fire in the suburban camp and the appearance of ghouls as a result, probably thinking that it was not an important matter. Jenkins couldn't ask directly, so he couldn't get first-hand information about those terrifying alien species, but he subconsciously believed that compared to the two incidents just now, this incident should be less dangerous.

After talking to Miss Bevanna for about half an hour, Jenkins was ready to leave. He asked Miss Tobefanna to say hello to his father, and asked everyone if they wanted him to bring some unique souvenirs when he returned from Loen.

Miss Bevanna told him to just pay attention to his own safety, and specifically mentioned Fini's current situation. The little girl has been doing well recently. After she was confirmed to have become a gifter, she caused a small sensation in the church. After all, she is not yet an adult. She has been successfully promoted at such an age. Her future future is limitless.

"Fini Faithful has been wanting to send you a letter. The letter was sent the day before yesterday. You should receive it this week."

Miss Bevanna said, then looked at Jenkins seriously:

"Now that we're talking about Feeney, Dad asked me to remind you that she's just..."

"I know, I understand, Dad always likes to make jokes like this."

If his head hadn't been immersed in the water, Jenkins would have covered his forehead and lamented his father's strange idea.

Chapter 1311 Chapter 1290 The replacement of Mu Xin

Everyone had just talked about Dolores's father Salsi II on Monday night. Early on Tuesday morning, the herald from the palace appeared outside the manor. At that time, everyone was eating, and Dolores was asking about her sister's schoolwork. Jenkins and Alexia continued to talk about Nolan and the plan to prepare the potion tonight. Then the servant hurriedly came over and stood in Zhu's room. Julia whispered a few words in her ear, and then Julia said to everyone:

"Mr. Willamt, His Majesty wishes to see you."

"Um?"

Jenkins was so frightened that he stopped touching the cat. He never thought that he would be summoned by Dolores' father at such a sensitive time.

His Majesty the King was going to see Jenkins now, so Jenkins could only hurriedly ask the ladies to prepare clothes for him, and then asked Julia about the preparations for meeting the king.

Julia reassured Jenkins that Salsi II was not the kind of king who cared much about ceremony.

The carriage carried Jenkins into the city in a hurry. After being inspected by the palace attendants, all contraband items were removed. Even cats were not allowed inside.

He could only let Dolores and Alexia, who were waiting down the hillside, take care of the chocolate temporarily, and then follow the herald into the palace alone.

Although I have been here more than once, the scope of my activities in the past was limited to Dolores's boudoir. Walking on the walk openly like this is something new.

"Thinking about it this way, why do I look like an illegal professional?"

The place where Salsi II and Jenkins met was his study. The weather was getting warmer day by day, but the heating was still on in his study.

While saluting, Jenkins secretly sensed the vitality of the seemingly sturdy middle-aged man, and realized that he really didn't have much time left.

This formal meeting was quite strange. Jenkins thought that the other party would ask about his relationship with Dolores, but no, His Majesty the King did not even ask Jenkins about the purpose of coming to the country.

He just chatted with Jenkins about the situation in mainland China, and then asked him to leave after talking about some in-depth issues in the financial and economic fields that Jenkins was "good at".

Throughout the whole process, Jenkins tried to grasp the rhythm of the conversation, but the other party's topic changed so quickly that he didn't understand why he wasted the hour until he left.

"Salsi II is inspecting his children."

This was Alexia's conclusion after returning to the carriage.

"Why do you need to meet and talk to me when you are inspecting your children?"

Jenkins still didn't get it.

"Dolores and her brothers and sisters have always lived under their father's nose, and they can't hide any secrets at all. What Salsi II wants to see are the things he doesn't understand. Wait, Jenkins , in the past few days, more people will be summoned to the palace. I actually admire Dolores's father. His physical condition has reached such a bad point, but he can still think about this country... "

The meeting with Salsi II was just a small episode in the day. Jenkins' main activity on Tuesday was still in Nolan.

After returning to the manor, he took the cat back to the city wrapped in thick fog, and then looked at the black clouds above his head, and suddenly had a new understanding of what Miss Bevanna said about "sacrifice to draw power to trigger miracles." idea.

On the one hand, the purpose of this trip is to try to enter the doomsday illusion for the second time in order to complete a second deal with the old man in the clock tower. On the other hand, it was to meet the old elf. Tonight was the full moon phase of the double moon, which was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.

The old elf's life has been very leisurely recently, and he welcomes Jenkins' return. I heard that he was going to make the potion tonight, so I just told him to follow the steps and not to be in a hurry. There was no other reminder.

As for the strange piece of wood that Jenkins brought from the Seal of Loen Snow Mountain, the elf seemed very surprised:

"You mean you found this from an ancient seal?"

"Yes, together with the dragon skin, it is used to preserve a metal rod. I saw that this wooden pipe has not rotted after thousands of years, so I brought it to show you."

"It's really surprising that there is this in the seal of the fifteenth era. You know, even in my hometown, this kind of wood is already rare. This is a kind of wood called 'Terali' The wood heart of Yamomu's tree is extremely suitable for transmitting spells or assisting in rituals. In ancient times, it was often used by elves to make spirit storage staffs or the walking sticks of magic masters. Later, due to the climate. With changes and the migration of elves, the number of Demonic Tree species in Terraria is constantly decreasing. Even I only saw it once or twice when I was young..."

When the old elf said this, he actually hesitated, and then seemed to make up his mind:

"This should be God's will. Jenkins, I remember that you have prepared three wooden hearts in your hand?"

"Yes, this is the most important material."

"When configuring the potion, replace one of them with this one. Also, I remember that you still have a sword from the World Tree in your hand?"

The old elf asked again. Jenkins thought for a while and nodded:

"Only half of it is left, and it's not pure wood from the World Tree. It has been synthesized by a machine. Even I don't know what the specific ingredients are now. What's more important is that the half of the sword is different from the skull sword. Collision should have no effect now."

He explained awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it still contains the ingredients of the World Tree. Listen, use that half of the sword body and replace it with the second wooden heart. The third wooden heart will still use the one you prepared, but you must choose the best one. . This is important to remember.”

The old elf told him seriously. Jenkins didn't understand the meaning of this, but everything would be revealed in the evening, so he nodded in agreement.

"Also, regarding the corpse Mr. you mentioned last time, did you hear the follow-up?"

After talking about the potion, the two chatted about the weather with Rune and Nolan before the old elf started talking about a new topic.

"No, no one told me about it."

Jenkins shook his head.

"I have some of my own methods. I learned from my friends that the gravekeeper team of the [Church of Death and Doomsday], led by the local demigod Davis, directly entered the hospital to conduct a comprehensive search. Including the things you mentioned There was not a single living person or corpse in the underground morgue. However, many people's footprints were found in the morgue, which basically proves that the party you mentioned was not a collective hallucination, but those morgue cabinets. They are all empty and have nothing in them.”

Chapter 1312 Chapter 1291 The Elf’s Potion (Part 1)

The morgues were all empty, which was unexpected. Jenkins originally thought that the result would be that Mr. Corpse would fight with the local church in Nolan, and then be suppressed by the church. Then the curse of the hospital would break out again after a few years, and finally he would be found Curse Core completely ended this incident that had affected Nolan for more than ten years.

"So Mr. Corpse ran away?"

he guessed.

"It's hard to say. Maybe he has some unique hiding skills. After all, you said that he is also a demigod. Maybe he has mastered the deepest secret of the abandoned hospital and has the courage to live in that place after all. In short, you You and your professor friend should be careful. After all, it was you who reported this matter to the church. I'm worried that Mr. Corpse will take revenge on you."

The elf's warning was very reasonable. For this reason, Jenkins went to the professor to tell him about Mr. Corpse. Because the Sage Church was not responsible for this matter, the professor really didn't know that things had developed like this.

After hearing Jenkins' concerns about Mr. Corpse's possible revenge on the two of them, the professor also took it seriously, so he thought about it and decided to move to the church in the near future.

"It just so happens that the church recently recovered a large number of prohibited items. Secret Keeper apprentices like us are very busy. But you, Jenkins, if you have nothing to do recently, don't stay in Nolan for a long time. I believe that no matter how strong Mr. Corpse is, he will never Maybe I’ll go across half the continent to Loen to hunt you down.”

But because of the Doomsday Fantasy incident, Jenkins cannot stay away from Nolan for a long time. But the professor's words reminded him that he did not necessarily have to do the things agreed with the old man in the clock tower. Although he might be the only one who could face the old man directly, in the real world, he could find someone to arrange the complicated rituals. replace.

"I want this person who is leisurely, trustworthy and quite capable. In this way, I only need to deal with the things in Doomsday Nolan..."

So he found Miss Magic at her suburban tower that afternoon. The last time the two met was here, so Jenkins first introduced the follow-up events of "The Disaster Canto" to her, but Miss Magic was very interested in the crazy poet. He was not very interested and just asked a few questions about the current situation of the lady with glasses. The two of them knew each other.

But she was very interested in the doomsday fantasy, especially when she heard that Jenkins could obtain the ritual to open up the parallel space, and immediately expressed her willingness to participate in the operation.

"I don't need any payment from you. All I want is the coordinates of the ten different rituals and the specific ways to hold them."

The woman said with a smile, knowing that Jenkins wouldn't care.

"sure."

Jenkins agreed without hesitation, feeling happy that he could spare some time from this tedious matter.

But today's good luck obviously continued here. Until he returned to Loen for dinner, he kept taking the cat in circles in the city center, hoping to enter Doomsday Nolan again, but unfortunately he did not do so.

In the evening, he met Dolores at the manor in a depressed mood, and then asked her if there was any open land nearby that he could use. After getting permission, he said goodbye to everyone in the manor after dinner, and walked into the moonlight alone with the materials.

Not even the cat was brought along, as the final step required "doing it alone," and Jenkins wasn't sure if Chocolate would count as being alone next to him, so he had to leave it at the manor.

After coming out of the main entrance of the manor, Jenkins, who was carrying a black suitcase and a bag on his back, walked along the path to the back of the manor, then identified the path in the pasture, followed the path to find the animal trail, and walked for two seconds with the rabbit family he happened to meet. After ten minutes, we finally found the river crossing the pasture.

The creek beach is paved with gravel. This is not a natural landscape. The original owner of the pasture specially obtained pebbles and gravel for the convenience of fishing. This time it is convenient for Jenkins to use.

Putting down the boxes and packages in the shallows, Jenkins listened to the pleasant gurgling sound of the stream in his ears and looked up at the stars above him. Away from the city, the starry sky becomes extraordinarily bright.

Jenkins looked up at the sky under the silver stars, took a deep breath, and felt that his whole body was soaked in warm water, and his body felt more comfortable than ever before.

"Am I really more suitable to live in this kind of wilderness than to live in the city?"

he asked himself, and attributed it all to the body's elven blood.

I found some dry firewood, then built a bonfire with stones in front of the river beach, then used suitable wood to build a shelf, placed the casserole on the fire, and poured the solution prepared in advance into the heating preparation.

He looked up at the moon to make sure it was in the right phase for the last time, so he squatted down and took out the glass vial from the suitcase, removed the stopper and poured the water of life into it.

"Everything comes from the beginning, and the original life nourishes all things."

He chanted softly, which was also part of the procedure, and he specifically used Elvish for safety. He closed his eyes tightly and stretched his hands around the casserole to make a light support movement. As he moved, the flame at the bottom of the pot exploded. When he opened his eyes again, the flame had turned into a jumping purple.

Then take out the small paper bag and carefully sprinkle the Elfwood dust into it while stirring the clear liquid in the pot. This kind of dust is difficult to preserve and cannot come into contact with metal products or glass, otherwise it will definitely deteriorate.

"Elves were born from giant trees, that's the origin story."

When these sentences were read in Elvish, there was a kind of cadence and beauty, and Jenkins found that he liked the sound of it.

The powder was sprinkled into the liquid, and the clear solution quickly turned silver, like boiled mercury, which actually reflected Jenkins' face. Jenkins sincerely hoped that the "mercury" would not evaporate easily.

He followed the steps and stopped stirring, taking the wooden spoon out of the liquid and setting it aside. Then he took a deep breath and exhaled gently into the pot of potion. The silver color deepened with the airflow, and all turned into a dazzling golden color before Jenkins was about to run out of oxygen.

The unicorn appeared behind Jenkins. He took out a pair of scissors from the package, and then looked at the unicorn with some sadness. The little beast also looked at Jenkins with a sad expression. After a while, he slowly bent his limbs and knelt down in front of him. Jenkins endured the guilt of being blamed for his conscience and cut off three longer hairs.

He touched the little beast's head and then sent it back. Then he tied the three unicorn hairs into different knots, which required strong manual skills and dexterity. Jenkins had tried it many times with ordinary ropes before.

"This is a contract, this is a connection. We make a contract with nature, and we protect everything."

Three different knots were thrown into the golden liquid at the same time. This time the color of the liquid did not change. Jenkins calmed down for a while, then stepped hard on the ground, and the green emblem representing the "Origin of Life" immediately appeared on the ground.

Chapter 1313 Chapter 1292 Elf Potion (Part 2)

This time, the circular tree pattern under his feet was particularly large, wrapping the burning pot and Jenkins. The golden liquid burst into bubbles, and the splashing droplets flew into the air and then fell into the liquid.

Carefully put the powder of tinder mint sealed in ice and the unmelted ice that had been burned by the fire for a week into the pot. Jenkins has been dealing with these materials since he returned to Loen from the old elf last time, which is quite troublesome.

"Ice and fire, from barbarism to civilization, from disputes to peace, the oath will never end."

The two pieces of ice slid along the edge of the pot into the shallow liquid, and the meltable and the non-meltable melted into the dazzling golden liquid. The gold color of the liquid faded, and a touch of green appeared, and quickly assimilated all the liquid.

The transparent green color reminded Jenkins of the [Universal Potion] under the giant tree in the Evergreen Forest outside Nolan City, but it was obviously two different substances.

When the liquid turned green, Jenkins was really relieved, which meant that his steps were completely fine.

He looked up again to confirm the current position of the moon, and activated the ritual array that had been engraved on the surface of the pot. The crisscrossing circles were lit up in the purple flames one by one, and the purple flames and green liquid luster almost gushed out, making Jenkins unable to see the moonlight above his head.

When these lights converged, he hurriedly looked inside the pot. The already shallow liquid became even more scarce, leaving only a thin layer at the bottom of the pot.

Jenkins nodded secretly, and then held the half of the sword body of the World Tree and the wooden tube of the Terraria Magic Wood in his hands respectively.

These are two wooden hearts, and the third wooden heart——

He turned and looked at the [Spirit Strike Cane] lying on the stream beach. Dad said that this cane is a complete wooden heart. Although he didn't know what kind of tree it was, it was undoubtedly the most precious wooden heart in Jenkins's hand.

Since learning about this potion from the elf Mr. Salamanda last fall, Jenkins has changed from the initial attitude of "I have nothing to do, so I might as well give it a try" to the current extraordinary attention.

This is of course because he knew his own elven bloodline, so the materials used will be as perfect as possible. Not long ago, the old elf had asked him to use the best tree heart, and the best tree heart that Jenkins had was undoubtedly this cane.

He was actually very reluctant to give it up. Although the effect of this cane on hitting spirits was dispensable for him now, it was after all the first weapon he had after coming to this world, and it had accompanied him for more than half a year. But under the old elf's suggestion, this elven potion has become extremely important. Jenkins could only reluctantly give up this cane and look forward to what the final effect of the potion would be.

He reached out to touch the pot. Although the pot was burned by the flames, it was not warm at all. Then he carefully put a small amount of liquid in the container into the wooden bowl that had been prepared long ago. Even in the wooden bowl with a larger internal curvature, the liquid did not show much presence.

Jenkins pointed it at the fire that was still jumping with purple flames, and then recited the last sentence of the ode:
