The Master of the Strange Realm

"I'm going to get you a cup of hot tea, do you need one?"

"Yes, I need one too."

The doors that opened at the same time made both of them feel awkward, and then they seemed to suddenly notice Jenkins appearing in the hallway.

No matter what Hathaway and Britney thought, at least the matter was fooled. Since both of them knew that Jenkins was coming, it was impossible for Jenkins to be alone with anyone, so for the rest of the night, the three of them drank tea and chatted in the room together, just like good friends having an ordinary night party.

"What are you doing, Jenkins?"

When Britney got up and went to the bathroom, Hathaway had time to ask Jenkins. Jenkins answered Britney's invitation to her truthfully. Hathaway thought for a while and then thought that Jenkins was right.

"Why not tell Britney about the things between the three of us now? Now everything is clear and I don't think there is any reason to hide it from her anymore."

Jenkins suggested tactfully that the cause of the incident tonight was that he and Hathaway never told Britney about their relationship. From the current situation, this concealment has become meaningless.

Chapter 1562 Chapter 1538 Crying

"No, not now. Jenkins, in fact, Britney has already guessed the relationship between the two of us, but we can't explain everything now. Don't you see that this is all for your own good?"

The red-haired girl's expression was like explaining the simplest truth to a child.

"For me?"

"Originally, I didn't want to tell Britney everything because I hoped she could accept that you had two people at the same time. Now, although I don't know what kind of sweet talk you used to get into her bed, it reasonably solved the problem of whether she could accept two people. But... do you think she can accept that you have more?"

The red-haired girl questioned, and Jenkins had no answer to this question.

"At first, I hid it from her because I wanted Britney to accept your greed. Now it seems that it is not difficult. Get her drunk and then we sleep together once and everything will be solved. Now I hide these things from her so that she can accept your other greed. Don't you understand? Or do you think Britney can easily accept living with more women?"

The red-haired girl looked a little angry. Jenkins apologized stutteringly, knowing that Hathaway's plan was for his good. He was ashamed. In addition to Mr. Barnard's death, his relationship with many girls was one of the few things he felt guilty about in this world.

"What are you doing, Jenkins?"

When Hathaway got up and went to the bathroom, Britney also asked the same question aggressively. Jenkins still explained the situation truthfully, but Britney was not as easy to accept as Hathaway. She raised her beautiful eyebrows:

"Haiwei invited you to come over at night... Wait, Jenkins, answer me honestly, have you... slept together?"

Jenkins was unwilling to lie about this question, and Britney saw the answer on Jenkins' face directly.

"You guys..."

Her face flushed and she wanted to say something loudly, but she opened her mouth and said nothing in the end. Jenkins thought she was really sad.

"I have no right to condemn Hathaway because I did the same thing as her."

She said sadly with her head down, and then suddenly looked at Jenkins:

"But I want to condemn you, Jenkins, oh, for God's sake, how could you do this?"

She had accepted it all, but she still felt sad when it came to the end. But thinking of her previous promise to Jenkins to marry and have a lover, and thinking of the more troublesome fight for the throne that Jenkins was about to face, she felt that she should not put so much pressure on Jenkins.

Seeing that Jenkins was full of guilt and dared not look at her, she stood up, bent down and gently kissed Jenkins on the forehead:

"I should accept all this, after all, I promised you, you did a good job... But if you can, please take care of my feelings sometimes."

This made Jenkins even more sad. He kissed the blonde girl back, hoping that Hathaway's so-called "plan" could be implemented smoothly.

He left the hotel around eleven o'clock. Although Hathaway and Britney hinted that he could return quietly after leaving, Jenkins did not do so. He said goodbye to them in front of the two of them with a slightly intimate hug, and then walked into the night with the cat on his back without looking back.

Hathaway and Britney stood at the window of the room together, watching Jenkins disappear at the street corner. They didn't say anything, just quietly looking at the quiet street below:

"So, why did Jenkins appear here tonight?"

Britney asked softly, as if talking to herself. She stood closer to the window than Hathaway, and Hathaway couldn't see her expression at this time, but could only see Britney's beautiful blonde hair and a somewhat bleak back.

When they first met in Beldiran, Britney had guessed that Jenkins and Hathaway were not completely friends. Afterwards, the girls had a conversation about this that Jenkins didn't know about, but because Hathaway had anticipated that scene, she easily fooled it. Before today, the blonde girl only thought that Jenkins and the red-haired girl were somewhat ambiguous, and she had no idea how far their relationship had developed.

"He came here tonight to find the girl he loves."

Hathaway answered without hesitation, knowing that Jenkins had let something slip. But this is also in line with her original plan. Even if Britney already knows almost everything, as long as the window paper has not been pierced, there is still room for maneuver.

The blonde girl lowered her head and said nothing after hearing this answer. After a while, she turned around and hugged Hathaway:

"I'm really a little scared, Hedwig, Jenkins' things, our things, and the choice my father gave me. I haven't told you, but father..."

After all, she did not tell the two paths provided by Marquis Michael:

"Jenkins' family background is not as simple as we think. I don't know if I have done the right thing. Sometimes I am angry with Jenkins, and sometimes I am also angry with myself. I am always greedy, so I let Jenkins... Now it's all really about to start, the throne, the power, the blood, and all the bad stuff... I'm really scared... .”

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about anything, Bunnie, Jenkins and I will protect you."

Hathaway comforted her softly. She knew that what Britney was really worried about was what would happen to the three people involved in the vortex of the throne.

"There's nothing to worry about, everything is going to be fine, I promise you."

She promised again quietly, then heard the blonde crying softly.

In the vase by the window, the flowers are about to bloom again because of the arrival of summer. After the cold winter, the coming summer will provide the same opportunities for every flower.

Hathaway looked at the flowers in the vase and thought of all the things surrounding the three of them. She once accused Jenkins of being greedy, but it was not because of greed that she and Bryony hurriedly came to this city and appeared next to Jenkins at this time.

"No one is innocent, we are all guilty."

She thought in her mind that she wanted to sneer and laugh at herself, Britney, and of course the greedy Jenkins. For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly thought of Chocolate, who had been keeping quiet tonight. The amber cat eyes looking at her seemed to be condemning the three people. She thinks this is not an illusion, because they are indeed both wrong.

Chapter 1563 Chapter 1539 Kamel’s Legacy

Although Kamel, the owner of the thrift store, is dead, he still leaves a lot of trouble behind. After leaving the Rosalia Hotel, Jenkins did not return to the Vatican's hospital bed to sleep. Instead, he gathered together the corpses of Kamel left by Alexia and burned them. Only the most miserable corpse was left, which was thrown in front of the city hall overnight.

I believe this will cause an uproar the next day and let the church know that Kamel is dead. The reason why the body was not thrown to the church was because there were too many demigods stationed in Belduran Parish, and Jenkins did not want to take any risk of exposing his identity.

As he left the body and hurried away, Jenkins turned to look at it. I sighed in my heart that the revenge that had lasted for several epochs would finally end in this way. He heard from Alexia Kamel's evaluation of his family's revenge, and also knew that they had not carried out revenge for several generations, but simply regarded it as a means of inheriting power.

So Jenkins won't pity him.

The meat product factory where Kamel hid the [Blood and Flesh Factory] was also a small stronghold of his. In addition to several numbered items with unknown functions, Jenkins also found some documents. The protoss helped transfer those numbered items to Loen City, waiting for Alexia's identification. Probably because he estimated that there was already the [Flesh Factory] in the stronghold, Kamel did not collect other weird objects there, so Jenkins did not have to bother to deal with troublesome things.

He kept the documents found in the stronghold and opened them after returning to the Vatican's ward.

Just as Jenkins thought, those are transaction records of some important items, also known as ledgers. In addition, there are some letters that were kept for backup when contacting business.

Through these records, the church can effectively track the strange objects that flow into the city through Kamel's thrift stores and prevent those terrible objects from causing harm to the world. Jenkins also learned from the letter that during the days when the thrift store had not yet withdrawn from Nolan Parish, Kamal had dealt with almost all illegal organizations that Jenkins had dealt with, including but not limited to the "Light Chasers Club" and "The Witch's Club". "Home" and "Magic Eye Collection Association" have all been contacted.

His connections are quite extensive, and from these letters left behind, the movements of the illegal forces entrenched in Nolan can be effectively sorted out. This is very valuable information. It can be said that Kamel's death will greatly promote the process of maintaining peace and stability in Nolan.

Among Kamel's relics, the most valuable ones are not the numbered items, but some books related to alchemy. The disciplines of alchemy and potion in this era have completely declined, partly because it is difficult to find suitable apprentices, and partly because of the disappearance of various extraordinary materials.

But because of the complete inheritance of the Kamel family and the powerful blood oath of revenge, Kamel's alchemical information completely records the evolution of alchemy from ancient times to modern times, as well as the alchemical formulas and recipes compiled by several generations. This knowledge is a priceless treasure, enough to support any extraordinary organization from being weak to becoming strong.

Jenkins had no intention of giving this information to the church; he knew that sooner or later he would need a group of true believers. Although that day is still far away, since you want to organize a sect, you naturally need some technology or inheritance that can support the sect.

He does not have a complete list of the abilities of the benefactor, and it is impossible for his followers to delve into the "Fabry Scam" to make a living. Therefore, Kamel's alchemy information became a good choice. Jenkins planned to study it himself and Alexia first, and he could also give Fini some knowledge for her to learn on her own.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Feini for a long time. I wonder how she is doing now."

He thought about the fact that he occasionally heard Feeney's voice in his dreams recently, so he planned to go see Feeney immediately after returning to Nolan next week.

It was late at night, and there was no one else in the ward except Jenkins. After he left the ward in the evening, he never came back, so he didn't know where Miss Capet was now when he went to join the delegation from the Church of All Things and Nature.

Putting the alchemy information in his hand aside, resting his head on his right hand and his left arm on his face, he lay on his back on the bed thinking about the problem he was about to face. It took a long time before he let out a long sigh. This sigh echoed in the empty ward for a long time, making the already lonely moonlight even more desolate.

In addition to these written materials, Jenkins also saw the transaction records Kamel mentioned between him and the [Scent Appreciation Committee]. The records show that the [Scent Scent Appreciation Committee] obtained a batch of alchemical equipment from Kamel that can help the grantor connect to the dreams of others.

This is probably the product that Kamel said he had tampered with. Unfortunately, there is no record in the account book what kind of secret Kamel knew about the other party through this batch of equipment. In other words, Jenkins still has no idea about the purpose of those special cigarettes. All they know is that they can connect to dreams and pool their spiritual power to break a powerful seal.

He sighed heavily, put away all the documents in his hands, then touched the sleeping cat, and then got into the quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Bizarre dreams often indicate that Jenkins is about to face big trouble. Recently, he has spent a lot of time studying the divination information obtained from the ancient soothsayer girl in the story of "Vampire Love". Jenkins also had some experience in interpreting precognitive dreams, but when he suddenly realized that he was dreaming and then found himself kneeling on one knee, he was still shocked.

"I think about it every day and dream about it at night? Or did I really have a prophetic dream?"

In the dream, there were densely packed people with no faces standing in the solemn hall. Only Jenkins knelt down on one knee on the red carpet. At the end of the carpet, in the center of the hall, there was a pure gold throne on a platform slightly above the ground.

Jenkins tried hard to raise his head to look at the throne, and then saw a red cushion placed on the throne. His cat Chocolate was lying there very comfortably wearing a red cloak decorated with gems. Behind him was a A crown just big enough to enclose it.

Chocolate on the throne also noticed Jenkins' gaze, raised its little head and gave a proud "meow".

"Oh, this is definitely not a prophetic dream. My thoughts have been too complicated recently."

He patted his head and tried to wake up from his dream.

Generally speaking, once you notice that you are dreaming, it is not difficult to wake up. But as the thought of waking up occurred, the floor beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and he fell into the abyss under the floor.

Chapter 1564 Chapter 1540 Crystal Apple

After falling heavily to the grass, Jenkins quickly got up. Seeing the light raining sky in front of him, the smooth man-made grassland, and thousands of souls praying around the huge statue, he suddenly understood. :

"The dream just now was my own natural dream. Now...what are those people going to do?"

He originally thought that this unusual dream was because the [Scent Scent Appreciation Committee] had found a way to deal with him, so they forcibly pulled him over. But he also thought that he was living in the Holy See now, and the nearby area was almost equivalent to the sage's sanctuary. Even if he wanted to murder him, he couldn't do it.

After observing the surroundings, countless spirits similar to him passed by him, kneeling on the ground around the altar and statue and muttering in unison. Although Jenkins didn't know how he got here this time, he followed the soul trend and sat cross-legged among the souls, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Because there were so many spirits under the altar, no one noticed anything unusual about Jenkins. Jenkins thought silently for a while before making a guess about the current situation:

"Could it be that I absorbed that large group of spiritual power last time, so my dream was connected with this mixed dream?"

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and he understood that no one was trying to kill him. He glanced around quietly and placed his right hand against the grass in a lifting position. A golden apple immediately appeared in his palm.

The moment I took possession of [Crystals of Sweet Dreams], my head, which had been a little dazed due to the murmurs in my ears, immediately sobered up. Like jumping into a cool pond on a hot summer day, the refreshing feeling almost brings a smile to Jenkins' face.

He quickly controlled his mood, took a deep breath, and raised his head to look at the restored statue.

During the recent infiltration into the club, Jenkins used the Holy Sword of Bones to split the statue in half in his dream. As a result, the essence of the part of the disaster beast [Sin Nightmare] hidden inside the statue was exposed, which led to its invasion of the real world.

This time, Jenkins observed the faceless humanoid statue at a closer distance, felt the breath of the statue, and observed the flow of the huge mental power in the dream world with his eyes. Combined with some chapters of "Big Sin: Disaster Beast" seen in the Antiquities Market, Jenkins gained enlightenment.

[Sin Nightmare] is a disaster born in the dream. Although it is powerful, it almost destroyed a certain era in the past by affecting reality with dreams alone. But now it is completely sealed in the deepest layer of the dream by a powerful seal. It is obviously impossible to completely escape by relying solely on mental power.

But the seal is only for dreams. If you can find a way to go directly to the real world, then it can be regarded as bypassing the shackles of the seal. It's just that the seal itself has the function of isolating dreams and reality, and the characteristics of [Sin Nightmare] itself are destined to be greatly weakened in the real world.

The [Scent Appreciation Committee] thought of a very good method, which is to use the spiritual power of thousands of mortals to make a "shell" for the disaster of dreams, that is, to use the spiritual power of everyone to cast this statue. The mottled spiritual power can, to a certain extent, conceal the power of nightmares and help them "smuggle" from dreams to reality. At the same time, once the sin nightmare enters reality through this statue, it can temporarily use part of its power with its massive spiritual power.

"In other words, as long as this statue is completely destroyed, the advent of the sin nightmare can be prevented... It sounds simple..."

It sounds very simple, but it is definitely not easy to do. Last time, he was lucky to lead the other party to reality. If he fought with the power of the disaster beast directly in the dream this time, Jenkins would have no hope of winning.

And even if he destroyed the statue, the [Scent Appreciation Committee], which has mastered the dreams of countless people, has plenty of means to make another one. So the key to this problem is not in the dream, but to solve the sequelae caused by tobacco in the real world.

Thinking of this, Jenkins couldn't help but sigh. If he could solve this problem in reality, he would have been lying in bed and sleeping peacefully.

Holding the [Dream Crystal] in his hand, it not only has the effect of keeping dreams comfortable and enhancing the dreamer's power as recorded in the literature, but probably because Jenkins directly touched the golden apple with his soul at this time, the priesthood and divine essence hidden in the depths of his soul touched the [Dream Crystal]. While he lowered his head to think about things, the gold on the surface of the apple gradually faded, showing an illusory translucent white.

This made the thing in Jenkins's hand look like a crystal apple that was fading. When he noticed that the apple in his hand became a little wrong, the change was irreversible.

Jenkins had never heard of such a thing, and he couldn't explain the principle behind it. His first reaction was to quickly send the apple back to reality to prevent the abnormality from attracting other people's attention.

But just as the idea of ​​"returning to reality" came into his mind, the whispering in his ear suddenly stopped. Jenkins, sitting on the grass, stared at everyone around him turning to look at him. Because everyone's face was expressionless, the scene looked extremely weird.

"Give me this thing."

The man closest to Jenkins said, time left traces on him and took away most of the hair of this middle-aged man.

Realizing that it was most likely that [Sin Nightmare] was talking to him through the soul of a mortal, Jenkins hugged his crystal apple, which had become crystal clear:

"This is impossible, and what are you?"

He would rather feed this apple to his cat than to his enemy. At this moment, Chocolate, who was lying next to Jenkins' pillow in the real world, suddenly opened his eyes, his beard trembling because of his sudden rise, and his amber eyes stared at Jenkins' closed eyes.

Jenkins in the dream world has stood up, and similarly, the thousands of ordinary people around him who were caught in the dream because of smoking tobacco also stood up.

"Give it to me, I can let you go this time."

A woman behind Jenkins said.

"I don't believe you can't tell what I am? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Jenkins taunted, holding the apple in both hands.

"You are a god, but you are an incomplete god. You only have the identity of a god, but not the power of a god. If we were outside the dream, I would definitely run away immediately when I saw you, but this is a dream, my home ground."

The little boy, who was not even as tall as Jenkins' knee, said. Jenkins couldn't understand why such a young child would smoke.
