The Master of the Strange Realm
Chapter 577
"What are you doing?"
He asked.
"I am using a special divine power to observe the city. A large-scale ceremony is taking shape. In my eyes, there is no object in front of me, only several golden lines are being connected and formed. This is undoubtedly the ceremony of cutting space."
"How long will it take for the ceremony to take shape?"
"Based on the current progress, the entire framework can be built in the evening. But this large-scale ceremony still needs final inspection and review, so the time when the church actually holds the ceremony should be at night, and the vision that appears at that time can also be covered by the night."
Speaking of this, an unnatural blush appeared on her face:
"I am really looking forward to it. This is the first time I have observed such a large-scale ceremony up close, and this ceremony was provided by me."
"You didn't choose to participate in this matter with me for this reason, did you?"
Jenkins asked doubtfully.
"Why do you think so? It's so naive."
Miss Magic immediately denied his statement.
Holding a dangerous large-scale space-type ceremony in a densely populated city, every step may lead to a big mistake. Therefore, even though he had never experienced such a thing, Jenkins could imagine that at night, probably all the demigods guarding the city would be watching the ceremony in the dark.
He also gathered his strength and prepared himself, waiting to return to Nolan again in the evening to witness this extraordinary night.
After lunch, he sat in the living room with Alexia to talk about the news of the successful improvement of the latest model of steam engine. She believed that this model of machine only increased the maximum output limit at the expense of energy utilization. This is very useful for some special purposes, but because of its large defects, it cannot be considered as a new model that is worthy of being recorded in history as stated in the newspaper.
Jenkins did not study steam engines in depth. He was only interested in the mechanical beauty of the machine. He believed that people in this world had developed the mechanical beauty to a high level while pointing out the high steam power technology tree.
While the two were talking, the old butler knocked on the door and told Jenkins that the priest of the Sage Church was here again. Jenkins then changed his clothes, took a carriage and followed Father Fernando to the church, and then met his father through the basin of delusion.
"Dad, long time no see."
He greeted enthusiastically.
"Long time no see, are you doing well in Loen? Let me make it short, Nolan is going to hold a large dangerous ceremony tonight, and the church is considering asking you to help."
Dad looked very tired.
"But I'm in Loen now..."
"Yes, if it weren't for special circumstances, I wouldn't contact you for help. The cause and effect of this matter is very complicated to explain, I'll tell you after everything is over. In a while, the Nolan Parish will send an encrypted ritual spell to the Loen Parish through the church's special communication channel. You take some time to memorize them all, and you are required to remember every syllable correctly. At seven o'clock in the evening, we will contact each other through the Delusion Basin, and then you will assist the ceremony in this way."
"It turns out that it can be done this way... No problem, it's not a very difficult thing."
Jenkins' confidence did not dissipate until he saw the spell, which was a full twelve inches (about 30.4cm) of parchment, with sesame-sized small characters full of difficult syllables.
"Are you kidding? Why don't I remember there was such a thing in Miss Magic's ritual?"
In order to confirm what it was, he even used projection to return to the manor and let Alexia identify what it was. The short lady looked at it for a while and got the result. She told Jenkins that this spell was used to stabilize the space. The church did not completely believe in the ritual provided by Miss Audrey, so it prepared a supplementary plan.
Chapter 1415 Chapter 1392 The Hanging City
"The Nolan Parish is probably worried that the ritual of dividing the space will cause irreversible damage to the city's space, or attract some unfriendly things, so it will let the Son of God of the Church assist in stabilizing the space during the ritual."
This is Alexia's evaluation of the spell, and she thinks it is normal.
The little princess Ajelina Stuart, who was forced to help stamp the official documents at the low table next to her, also heard the word "Son of God". Her eyes lit up and she looked at Jenkins excitedly, and then was glared at by her sister.
"Stabilize the space? This is indeed necessary. Although Miss Magic has guaranteed that this ritual itself will not shake the spatial foundation of the Nolan area, we must be cautious in everything."
So Jenkins returned to the church and spent an afternoon memorizing those difficult ancient spells, and tried to recite them twice to his cat. The cat had been listening to Jenkins mumbling the same sentence for an afternoon, and had long been a little impatient, so when he began to try to recite it to him for the third time, Chocolate jumped onto the windowsill nimbly, meowed at Jenkins, and then jumped out of the house.
Jenkins was not worried that it would run away, because Chocolate should disappear in the direction of the church kitchen.
The time came to 6:30 in the evening. When Jenkins dipped his head into the water of the basin of delusion, he saw the empty roof and the golden lines on the flat ground. In the distance was a city standing in the thick fog, and the metal pipes on the outside of the buildings were shining brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Judging from the scenery nearby, this should still be a church, and among the church buildings, the only one with a flat roof should be the building directly above the Gate of All Things. Jenkins had never been on the roof of this building, and therefore had never seen the city from this angle.
"Everything is ready, we just have to wait for the signal."
Dad said standing aside, accompanied by the secret keeper Mr. Smith and his apprentices who came to help. The ritual matrix that stabilizes the space has been carved on the roof. Even in the dark sky, Jenkins can see those faintly glowing lines.
"What formula is this paint made from? The color looks really good."
he asked his father.
"This is bare gold. This color is the color of wealth. How is your back?"
"I learned it by heart. I even recited it to Chocolate, and he didn't point out that I had memorized it wrong."
"If your cat does talk, that's a big problem."
Dad said, looking at the darkened city in the distance. After a whole winter, the municipal street light project has been advancing rapidly. Of course, the most important reason is that more and more churches or commercial organizations are willing to "donate" the project.
Looking from the current position, the lanterns are starting to come on, and the little lights describe the outline of the city. It was a quiet and peaceful evening, and ordinary citizens had no idea what would happen in the near future.
Dad and Jenkins are here waiting for the signal from the core area of the ceremony in the Civic Square. Once the ceremony starts there, the ceremony will start here simultaneously. The waiting time was not very long, and even before Dad could fully tell Jenkins about the [Doomsday Fantasy], a brilliant flame shot up into the sky from a nearby neighborhood, followed by a crackling sound. Fireworks exploded in front of everyone on the rooftop.
"Ready to begin!"
Dad said hurriedly, and retreated to the edge of the roof so that the keeper could conduct the ceremony conveniently. Jenkins coughed and cleared his throat, and then loudly recited the incantation he had memorized all afternoon.
The power of the Son, the Church and the ritual matrix carved on the church building resonates. Through the action of Jenkins's incantation and ritual matrix, this invisible force is centered on the roof and spreads to every corner of the city to reinforce the space.
At the same time, in the Civic Square not far away from here, the last remaining power of divine grace half a year ago affected the nearby area together with the ritual of cutting space. After touching the altar under the clock tower next to the square, it was hidden in Cracks appeared on the surface of the altar in the sewer pipe.
A team of night watchmen was arranged here. After observing the cracking of the altar, they immediately notified the church using special means. This means that this ritual is really affecting the signposts that guide the [Doomsday Illusion]. This is a feasible method.
As the ceremony progressed, black clouds gradually covered the sky, and strong winds traveled through the streets and alleys of the city, bringing coolness to this late spring night.
While reciting the incantation, Jenkins looked at the distant city through the Eye of Truth. Suddenly, a black light was discovered rising from the ground, and then turned into a pillar of light reaching into the sky.
"That seems to be...the location of the clock tower."
Although only Jenkins could see this aura, everyone else also raised their heads, because behind the dark clouds, the vision was becoming clearer and clearer. When the black spiritual light beam in Jenkins' eyes completely pierced the clouds, the clear scene of the doomsday city was reflected in the night sky.
The night sky seemed to have turned into a deep pool. Under the rippling water, the apocalyptic city stood very vaguely. It was like a complete city hanging upside down over the real Nolan, except that the city was more decayed and more terrifying.
"Is this normal, or was there an accident?"
Jenkins thought in confusion, but the incantation in his mouth did not stop. But with the appearance of the upside-down city in the sky, the golden ritual matrix engraved on the roof of the building began to flicker. Those bright golden lights were like the fire of an unstable steam furnace, flickering intermittently dozens of times. After that, it suddenly went out.
"Okay, stop it, Jenkins."
Dad's voice rang out in the strong wind, and Jenkins immediately stopped and waited for him to explain.
"That's all for today's contact. Can you rest assured and wait for the news in Loen?"
"But dad, what happened?"
Jenkins asked anxiously, suspecting that there was something wrong with Miss Magic's ritual.
"Someone in that doomsday city noticed our actions and forcibly accelerated the integration of Doomsday Nolan and Reality Nolan. There is no need for a space stabilization ceremony. The fusion of the two spaces has ensured the stability of the space to the greatest extent. You can go back to Jenkins, I will contact you probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
After speaking, they patted the shoulder of Secret Keeper Smith, who was looking at the sky, and the two directed the apprentices to clean up the ceremony site. Jenkins also knew that he could not be of any help because he was in Loen, so he whispered goodbye and left.
Chapter 1416 Chapter 1393 The final clue
It happened that Mr. Rossier, the demigod of Loen Parish, was also in Loen today. He heard about what happened to Nolan today. Seeing that Jenkins had cut off the connection with the Basin of Delusion in advance, he asked him what happened. whats the matter.
Jenkins then talked about the upside-down city that appeared in the sky. Mr. Rossière thought about it and actually said that he had heard of such a situation.
"This is not very common, but it is not unheard of, but it has never been on such a scale before. Jenkins, have you ever heard of A-3-01-2077 [Cloud Island]?"
"No."
Jenkins shook his head honestly.
"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. It is not famous, but it is often seen by ordinary people. A-3-01-2077 [Cloud Island] is a phenomenon that can only be witnessed in the ocean or desert. The specific manifestation People discovered that there was an island hanging upside down behind the clouds in the sky, but because this phenomenon was very similar to a mirage, it was never discussed by ordinary people. "
"So, that island is actually an independent space outside the material world?"
"Yes, it is an island floating outside the space wall of the material world. It is close to the material world all the time, but is bounced away because of the existence of the space wall. This causes the cloud island to be witnessed by people in a fixed cycle. The time of sighting is the time when the island is closest to the material world. The time and place of A-3-01-2077 can be predicted regularly through astrology and divination, which is close to a natural phenomenon."
"Is this a periodic comet... Ahem, so now that there is an upside-down city in the sky of Nolan, does it mean that the doomsday Nolan is very close to reality?"
Jenkins asked.
"That's true, so the current situation is quite troublesome. But don't worry. I heard that Nolan has experienced several major disasters in half a year, and the diocese has accumulated enough experience. I think this matter is It can be solved.”
Mr. Rossier said optimistically, but Jenkins was not optimistic because the people who had solved most of Nolan's disasters in half a year still didn't think of a good way to deal with it.
He stopped for a while in the church and then returned to Dolores' manor. He talked to Alexia about what was happening in Nolan, and then immediately came to the country villa through the projection, and Miss Magic was already waiting. He did.
"This is not my fault. There is nothing wrong with the ceremony! Also, why did you only show up now?"
As soon as she saw Jenkins coming from the mountain path, Miss Magic said loudly.
"I know it's not your fault. The old man in the clock tower does have other tricks. As for why I only showed up now... it's because I've run into some trouble. Can you invite me in to talk? It's so special tonight. it's too cold."
The magical lady in the mountain villa was always paying attention to Nolan's movements, so she completely observed the entire process of the appearance of the upside-down city in the sky. Just like Mr. Rosier of Loen, she had also seen the information of A-3-01-2077 [Cloud Island], so she immediately judged the ins and outs of the matter.
"The old man in the clock tower discovered that someone was destroying his beacon, so he used some tricks to speed up the integration of the two worlds. But my ritual was useful, and the beacon was damaged after all, so it didn't Nolan can bring the end of the world to a close."
"The question is what should we do now? Oh, Miss Yindi, good evening."
Miss Yindi, the temporary owner here, also came out to greet Jenkins. She didn't quite understand what these two people had done. She only knew that the current situation was inseparable from the two of them.
"The church should have anticipated this situation in advance. I have observed that in the hour since the doomsday city appeared in the sky until now, it has not shown any signs of accelerating its arrival. So the best way at the moment is to wait for the church to resolve this matter. We should believe in the power of the Zhengshen Church. Remember that a few of you worked all night to protect Nolan from the aliens, but in the end the problem was solved by the Zhengshen Church? "
Miss Magic was not involved in this matter, so as expected, Miss Silver Flute should have told her.
"I will not sit still and wait for death. I have been involved in this matter throughout the whole process. Until now, I can't stay out of it."
"But the reality is that you can't do anything. Apart from entering the doomsday illusion again and killing the old man in the clock tower, what else can you do? We are all just mortals, and there is nothing we can do about large-scale space accidents. ”
Miss Magic pursed her lips and said.
"Actually, there are other ways."
Miss Yindi, who was standing aside, interjected, and when she saw both of them looking at her, she explained:
"I remember Mr. Candle said that apart from me, two of the people who entered the strange situation survived. You only found one of them and knew that he cooperated with the old man in the clock tower to cause this kind of situation. situation. What about the other person? Did he leave the mystery through the same conventional means as me, or was he also involved in some conspiracy? "
This is indeed worth pondering. Although pursuing this clue may not be useful, it is at least better than doing nothing. Miss Magic planned to act together with Jenkins, so the two went out together again and came to the country house of the man who was forced to reveal a lot of information last time.
He was still in the same mentally damaged state as when the two left last time. He had little response to questions and answers, and Miss Magic was forced to use the spell on him again.
"I ask again, among you and your friends, apart from you, is there anyone who has escaped from the treacherous place? If you don't answer, I will throw you into that terrible place again."
Jenkins pressed his shoulder and threatened. The first half of the sentence had little effect. The last threat finally gave the man with dull eyes a new expression.
"I don't want to go there anymore, that's the ultimate darkness, that's the final doom, that's..."
"I don't care what happened to you, now tell me the answer to that question."
"I-I just know that I left on my own."
Jenkins glanced back at Miss Magic, who also asked:
"There are five of you and your friends in total. What happened to the other four?"
"Luo Cheng died at the hands of a monster as soon as he entered the treacherous realm, and we didn't even find his body; Hull touched something he shouldn't have touched and turned into soot in front of our eyes; Spencer died. .....died in that ultimate darkness, I am sure he is dead..."
Chapter 1417 Chapter 1394 Reckless Behavior
"What about the last person?"
Jenkins asked somewhat eagerly.
"He, he, he was captured by the old man on the clock tower. He used cheating methods to try to get through, violating the rules of the mystery..."
When the man whose thoughts were controlled said this, he actually showed signs of waking up.
"Did you see him die with your own eyes?"
Miss Magic asked, and then the man who was on the verge of a mental breakdown actually collapsed. He held his head and cried loudly. As he cried, he squirmed crazily on the ground like maggots. His tears and snot mixed together all over his front.
"In other words, the old man in the clock tower told me that three people died and two survived. Does he mean that one person was trapped in a strange situation by him? What is this for?"
Jenkins frowned at the man on the ground and asked Miss Magic.
"There must be a reason for this, maybe it is related to the emergence of the doomsday illusion. But our clues end here. If you want to continue the investigation, you must enter the doomsday Nolan again, but this... ..."
Before she finished speaking, the light from the gas lamp in the room appeared strangely distorted. The distorted light produces strange optical effects, distorting the interior space of the square room.
