The Master of the Strange Realm

"That gift, if you miss it, you will lose it. I don't have the courage to make such preparations anymore."

Britney said, and seeing that Jenkins looked normal, she gently pushed Julia who was standing beside her:

"But that dress is really nice. You can go tonight with Julia..."

She smiled ambiguously with her mouth covered, and didn't continue. The maid blushed slightly, but still maintained an elegant standing posture, as if she was not the one involved in the topic just now.

"Look, Julia didn't object."

Hathaway hugged Julia's arm affectionately. In fact, the two were not so familiar with each other in the past, but the unsuccessful gift last night made them familiar with each other.

"Don't make fun of me, it's useless."

Jenkins shook the newspaper and prepared to start eating. When he picked up the spoon, he said calmly:

"I don't regret it at all."

"Really? In order to thank that beautiful lute, I can give you a good gift in return."

Hathaway blinked, and then whispered something in Julia's ear. Julia had undergone very professional training to be the princess's personal maid, so her expression did not change, but her ears turned red.

There are still many things to deal with today. After breakfast, Jenkins returned to his room first and sorted out the gains from listening to the whispers of the end of the moon in the early morning.

June and July belong to the righteous gods [All-seeing Starry Sky] and [Hermit of Destiny] respectively. There are also many overlapping divine duties between the two. In particular, they both hold [Uncertain Destiny]. On the one hand, it is the meaning of the starry sky, and on the other hand, it is the authority of destiny itself.

Probably because the soul inexplicably rose again during this listening, reaching a position closer to the righteous gods, because this time the gains were much more than before. There are five complete ability acquisition rituals alone, and all five abilities are quite useful.

[Weak Star Glow], white base, Jenkins had never heard of this ability before. Its function is to connect one's own soul with a star that can be observed in the night sky, so as to observe this star in a meditative way at night, and obtain and absorb the spirit from the star world.

This ability is very powerful. As the master's level gradually increases, this ability will gradually show more functions. The more obvious ones include the improvement of the soul's strength, becoming stronger under the starry sky at night, and even if the master can reach the eighth-level demigod, he can rely on this ability to gain immunity to lethal attacks.

When the master of the [Weak Star Shimmer] ability dies, he will return from the astral world when the next night comes. But this resurrection has a price, not just the level drop of the gifter and the loss of at least 5 abilities, it may even cause irreversible damage to the soul.

Of course, powerful abilities correspond to harsh learning conditions. Although there is no limit on the level of learners, learners are required to be born at a specific constellation, require a strong astral resonance talent, and require that two-thirds of the learners' abilities when learning are related to the [Starry Sky].

In other words, this is an ability that Jenkins can't learn even if he wants to.

[Astral Travel], a yellow spell ability, is very similar to another famous ability [Shadow Shuttle], both of which achieve invisibility, avoidance, and cross-space movement by temporarily leaving the material world.

The danger of [Shadow Realm Shuttle] lies in the danger of the Shadow Realm itself. There are many terrible things lurking in that place, such as the upside-down shadow of the Mother Goddess. Every time you enter the Shadow Realm, you need to be prepared to not come back.

The Star Realm is also not a safe place. Don’t think that Jenkins can always chat and laugh with Lakul in the Star Realm, but that is because he has gained the friendship of the most powerful race in the Star Realm, the Protoss.

In fact, as an auxiliary space of the ancient material world, there are also many strange and ancient existences in the Star Realm. For example, the silver dragon Anastasia has been active in the Star Realm for a long time. Most of the terrible monsters living in the starry sky were born in the era when there was just a faint light in the sky. It was very old, and there were almost no records of the first three eras. In the faint light and chaos, the behemoths are sleeping in the depths of the Star Realm. When entering the Star Realm, you must be prepared to meet them.

The remaining three abilities are all strongly related to fate, two of which are the well-known abilities [Lucky Hunter (Red Fighting)] and [Doomsday Messenger (Yellow Spell)].

Among all the abilities and rituals that can affect the so-called "luck", these two are the most effective. Although most gifters think that the ability of fate is strange and obscure, in fact, as long as the conditions for learning are met, the specific use of the ability is not complicated.

It's just that good luck and bad luck usually come together, so whether it is a hunter of good luck or a messenger of bad luck, while affecting others, it will inevitably affect the user of the ability.

Only true fortune tellers understand how to respect fate and make good use of the power of fate. Generally speaking, gifters who use this kind of ability casually will die ugly.

As for the last ability obtained in this whisper, it is very interesting, because it is actually an evolutionary ability based on [Cycle (White Base)], and it is not the [Reciprocating Fate (Purple Fate)] mentioned by Miss Audrey.

[Writer (Purple Destiny)] cannot be observed by any means of divination, prophecy, or any attack based on destiny. The gifter with this ability can read any part of the Epic of Time that has been written, not just the present and the near future.

"Writer..."

Jenkins raised his head in front of the desk. If he hadn't known the introduction of the ability, he would have thought it was a sage's divine art just from the name.

"This ability..."

He thought of the relationship between the God of Knowledge and Books and the God of Destiny mentioned by his father in the carriage not long ago, and thought of more things.

He dropped the pen, and his right hand on the table tapped unconsciously, making a dong dong~ sound. This made Chocolate, who was lying on the table, open one eye and look at Jenkins with dissatisfaction. He stood up and pressed Jenkins' hand with his claws, and Jenkins stopped:

"It seems to be very useful, but it doesn't seem to be very useful to me."

PS: It is not a component of the stage of destiny [Storyteller].

Don't try the big lucky bag of the anniversary celebration casually, you won't have that luck. If you want to know why, the author gave himself 90 blades and 4 dog food today.

Chapter 1794 Chapter 1765 The Messenger of Doom (Additional Update)

Sitting at the table thinking about gains and losses, he raised his hand to turn on the light of the gas lamp, and then looked down at the letters he wrote on the paper. Except for the part about [Epic of Years], the ability of [Writer] seems to overlap seriously with the characteristics he already has. Moreover, [Writer] is not an ability that can only be advanced from [Cycle (White Basic)]. Jenkins has mastered [Storyteller] as one of the components of [Stage of Destiny], and can also be advanced to [Writer].

It seems that the effect of the ability is not outstanding, but Jenkins has a wonderful intuition that the truth of the ability of [Writer] is not so simple. Just from the possibility that the ability connects [Destiny] and [Books], Jenkins has a strong need to conduct an in-depth investigation.

"Wouldn't it be better to ask Miss Audrey directly later?"

He thought easily in his heart, then picked up the pen and began to sort out the complete rituals that were floating in his mind.

There are few rituals related to the starry sky, and most of them overlap with the knowledge Jenkins has already mastered. Only the two rituals of [Contacting the Ancient Ones of the Stars] and [Seal of the Ancient Ones of the Stars] are interesting, but generally speaking, "the Ancient Ones of the Stars" and "the Ancient Ones of the Stars" both refer to the Star Spirits, so Jenkins can completely obtain these two rituals from Lakul.

The rituals related to fate are various divination rituals plus a small number of anti-divination rituals.

In fact, there are many rituals related to the God of Fate, and they are not limited to the divination category, but for some reason, all Jenkins obtained are divination.

He carefully copied this knowledge on paper, and after writing it, he read it completely to make sure that it has been recorded in the [Book of Memories] without any difference, and then burned the paper. After that, he copied some tadpole texts, accumulated a drop in the bucket for the promotion to demigod, and then went downstairs to prepare for lunch with the ladies.

The rain was still falling, but it had nothing to do with the rain that Jenkins called a few hours ago. Summer is originally a rainy season in Nolan, and the sunny days before were rare.

Although staying at home and reading on a rainy day is a good choice, Jenkins is definitely not idle now. During lunch, he asked Hathaway and Britney about their plans and learned that they had no plans to go out today. Julia wanted to return to Dolores in the afternoon and come back to cook in the evening.

"You stay at home today. Does Dolores still need you?"

Jenkins asked, and surprisingly, Julia did not object. She nodded and accepted the arrangement.

After dinner, he took the cat out of the house and into the rain. Chocolate always hated his fur getting wet, so after going out, he got into Jenkins' pocket and refused to come out.

Jenkins first found a carriage to take him to the church. In the church, he asked Miss Bevanna about the follow-up of last night's incident and learned that the Mist Child was really destroyed without any trouble. Those who had disappeared in the early stage of touching the Mist Child's eggs were also found. Everyone was as weak as if they had been hungry for a week, but fortunately they could recover after resting for a while.

"But the problem is still very serious. We just eliminated one son of the mist. According to the situation of the dense fog in Nolan, the church believes that the next son of the mist will be born in half a month."

"Half a month later?"

Jenkins was surprised, and then realized something:

"This situation should not only be in Nolan, right?"

The two were standing in the corridor on the side of the main hall of the church. Someone pushed open the window on one side of the corridor, and some damp wind blew in, but the two people in front of the window didn't care.

"After the mist giant was eliminated last night, although its body turned into gray fog and dissipated in the city, the Church of Death still has a way to preserve the next part."

She paused, but did not introduce the specific practices of the death believers to Jenkins:

"After analyzing the corpse, we spent several hours, comprehensively analyzing the reports left by the Scent Smell Appreciation Committee, and enlisting the help of believers of [Hirling Mist]. Based on the current performance of the dense fog and the fluctuation of the spirit, we analyzed At the same time, you also know that the entire world is now covered by thick fog. Although other cities are not as serious as Nolan, the results of the analysis are. I believe that the entire world is now a breeding ground for children of the Mist.”

Jenkins pursed his lips and looked out the window, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"The church has a complete version of that analysis report, which is planned to be sent to Belduran for permanent preservation in a few days. It can also be regarded as one of the treasures left by people at the end of the eighteenth century to the next century. If you are interested, you can read it At first glance, the table of contents is as thick as three volumes of the Common Language Encyclopedia. I think you’d better just read the key parts.”

"So, are the giants born in the mist from all over the world the end of the world?"

he asked, looking out the window.

"According to the church's remaining records of the end of the era, monsters of this strength can only be regarded as messengers announcing the arrival of the end."

Miss Bevanna replied softly.

Professor Burns was still in the church, but seeing that he was reading with great interest, Jenkins did not disturb him. Dad has left and is probably in an antique shop now. Seeing that no one he knew was there, Jenkins wanted to head to Evergreen Forest as soon as possible, but he happened to meet Feeney in the church who was helping deliver documents.

The little girl walked out of the corner of the corridor with a serious expression on her face, holding a document bag. A smile appeared on her face when she saw Jenkins.

"Good afternoon, sir!"

She greeted cheerfully, and Jenkins walked over with a smile:

"Why didn't you go out to sell flowers today?"

The summer activities for children in the church choir are planned to last until the end of July.

"Recently, the church is preparing for a joint meeting. The choir has to rehearse and we will sing on the opening day of the meeting."

Feini explained, and then said regretfully:

"Sir, I met a lot of flower-selling girls on the street a few days ago. We originally agreed that we would spend money together to buy a batch of tulips. Now they can only do it on their own."

"It's okay, just tell me their contact information and I will help you arrange it."

This is just a piece of cake for Jenkins. It is not difficult to transfer the information provided by Feeney to Miss Windsor, and then ask their subordinates to secretly distribute the supply evenly to those children.

Feeney was a little worried about troubling Jenkins too much, but when he insisted, she told the addresses and names of the other flower girls. Her memory is very good, which seems to be a talent revealed after becoming a gifter.

After saying hello to the little angel Louise again, Jenkins said goodbye to the church and rode the church's carriage to the Evergreen Forest.

PS: Add another chapter, thanks to everyone for tipping blades today.

Chapter 1795 Chapter 1766 Dad’s Abnormality

If it is moderate rain in the city today, then the evergreen forest outside the city is probably only drizzle. But even if it rains, today's Evergreen Forest is particularly lively. The battle a few hours ago placed the command headquarters in the Sage Church closest to the front line. However, after the battle, the information about the incident and the wounded Soon they all moved to the forest.

Jenkins quickly found his divination class teacher under the giant tree in the middle of the forest. Unexpectedly, his father was also here, instead of returning to the antique shop as he thought. The two were talking in a low voice before Jenkins appeared, but stopped talking when Jenkins came over.

Dad walked towards Jenkins holding an umbrella:

"Okay, this Saturday, the Joint Conference of the Twelve Churches officially opens. You have time this week to find the bishop. By then, you will not only have to speak at the opening ceremony, but also attend almost all important meetings. It is impossible for you to do this Like the meeting of the Three Kings, the schedule of the meeting is still being discussed, and the church will give you the schedule as soon as possible. I know that you never like to attend meetings on such serious occasions, but this time it is necessary.”

"I know, dad, don't worry."

Jenkins nodded. When the two came together, they each tilted their umbrellas. Dad patted him on the shoulder with his free hand:

"Also, don't forget what happened last night and you still have a report to hand in."

"OK."

"Also, if you have time tomorrow morning, come to the store. I have something to tell you."

"I see."

"Also, old Jack plans to come to Nolan in a few days. I think we can go to the station to meet him. If I can't see you after I get the news, I will write a note and send it directly to your home. Please check the mailbox."

"no problem."

"Also, don't run around lately. Although the demigod from the Gear Craftsmen Guild was unconscious according to your statement last night, no one knows whether he saw your face or whether he would wake up. This is also true. It’s quite dangerous. If possible, try to stay at home or in the church. I think you don’t want to miss the opening ceremony.”

When Jenkins reported it, he did not say that the other party recognized him.

"I understand that very well."

"Also, don't stop participating in the meeting of the three kings. I noticed that you haven't been to the city hall for several days."

"Then I'll go after seeing you tomorrow morning."

"Just remember."

Dad nodded, and this time he didn't say anything else. He held up his umbrella and left in the direction Jenkins came from.

"Why do you feel that Dad is... so... um... nagging today?"

After confirming that Dad couldn't hear him, Jenkins said to Miss Audrey. In fact, he didn't want to use the slightly derogatory adjective "nagging", but his vocabulary was limited and he couldn't find a better word to choose.

"People will be like this when they get old. Isn't this normal?"

The female fortune teller shrugged.

"Although Dad looks old, I always think he has a young mentality."

He looked suspiciously in the direction where Dad left:

"It's rare to see Dad so tired and old. Did something happen that I don't know about?"

"No, he's just worried about you."

Miss Audrey said, she also held a black umbrella, which seemed to be the same style as Jenkins's umbrella. The rain fell down, leaving a subtle sound on the umbrella surface, and the water droplets gathered together and slid down from the edge of the umbrella. This is the summer rain.

"Worried about me?"

"Don't say you don't know. All of Dad's former apprentices left him for various reasons. Does this seem to be a curse? Sorry, I've only heard some things, but I don't know much. Dad probably realized from what happened last night that you might leave him at any time because of the danger you are facing. Thinking of his former apprentices, he naturally felt bad, and then showed the expression and attitude just now."

This guess is probably right, and Jenkins felt a little sad. But he is sure that he will not leave, at least not for now.

After finishing Dad's topic, the two continued to talk in front of the pond under the tree. In the morning, when Jenkins was sleeping at home, Miss Brownies had contacted Miss Audrey, and Miss Brownies' discovery was related to the Epic of Time.

It's not that the things recorded in the book have changed, but that the Church of Destiny discovered that a card fell out of the Epic of Time.

"Card? The card of the impermanence of all things?"

Jenkins has touched many cards, and he once had an [Angel], but it was quickly consumed.
