The Master of the Strange Realm

The old elf said tremblingly.

"What an honor?"

He said it again.

"Sorry, I originally wanted to help you ask about when you can return to your hometown. But after giving me the gift, He left, and I didn't have time to ask."

Jenkins said sheepishly, feeling like some hairless vegetarian who forgot to ask the turtle's age.

"No, don't worry about my affairs. I am just an ordinary elf. Even if I accidentally enter the material world, there is no need to use my affairs to delay the great man's time. Jenkins, do you know what an honor this is? Remember that time Experience it, it’s something that even the elves can’t imagine.”

The elf was originally a little sluggish due to staying up late, but now he is completely excited. I am afraid that even if he wants to fall asleep, there is no way.

After talking about his experience in the strange realm, Jenkins brought up the matter of the tree soul. The old elf knew the legend of the Four Soul Kings, but he didn't even know as much about the details as the red dragon. Just like the elf said, he is not a scholar, just an ordinary elf, and cannot give Jenkins any more help.

But regarding the World Tree Seed, the old elf had a lot to say. He was pleased that Jenkins had finally obtained all three parts of the seed, and agreed with Jenkins' caution when he heard that Jenkins had not hastily put them together.

"Of course they can't be put together rashly. Just like what the old professor you mentioned said, the World Tree seeds represent the World Tree. Once complete, the erupting spirit of life is enough to destroy any living thing. After all, Too much life spirit is not the way of natural balance. If you want to combine them, it is recommended that you find a forest with very large vitality, or a wasteland with almost no vitality. This can effectively reduce the explosion of seeds when they close together. The impact of the spirit of life.”

"How about Evergreen Forest, which is..."

"I know it's there, and it's really good. But I still suggest that when you put the seeds together, be sure not to let any living animals stand nearby. You can withstand the wash of the spirit of life, but others must It’s not possible. Or you can arrange a suitable ritual to evacuate the erupting spirit, but this kind of ritual is usually very troublesome, so I suggest you ask the Sage Church to help.”

The old elf's suggestion was very reasonable, and Jenkins nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it. He also talked about what happened yesterday when the dragon soul awakened, hoping to find out the rules of the king's soul awakening from this incident.

Unfortunately, after discussing with the elf for a long time, there was no result. Jenkins could only stand up and say goodbye with regret. But thinking of the evil spirits the old elf was encountering, he suggested that he take out the unexpectedly purchased pendant and take a look.

There is indeed a black aura on the pendant, but in addition to being connected to the elves, the aura actually extends from the window into the distance. After Jenkins thought for a moment, he knew that the other protagonist involved in the matter, the evil spirit, was also involved in the strange aura.

PS: "Vegetarian without hair" refers to Tang Monk.

Chapter 1847 Chapter 1818 The Taking-off Bones

Now that he has found traces of the evil spirit, Jenkins immediately proposed to find the location of the evil spirit, maybe he can eliminate it in advance and end this incident.

No one has ever dealt with A-12-2-0965 in this way before. After all, Jenkins has never heard of anyone who can see auras like him. He was not sure whether this would be successful, but the old elf thought that he would definitely not sleep tonight, so he might as well go out for a walk. Jenkins also wanted to help him, and the flames of the Dragon Soul kept providing him with energy, so it seemed that there was no problem in staying up all night, so the two made a plan and went out together.

The direction indicated by the spiritual light was not nearby. The apartment the old elf rented was in the city center, and the final destination was the public cemetery on the outskirts of the city that the two of them traveled across half of the city.

"Should it be as expected? The source of the evil spirit is the cemetery, not the nameless body that died in the alley. This is much simpler than I thought."

As the two crossed the fence, Jenkins said he originally wanted to turn into a mouse and slip through the gap in the fence. But after thinking about it, it was really troublesome to change clothes back and forth, so I turned over and pulled the old elf over.

The cemetery was also shrouded in gray fog tonight. Although it prevented the two intruders from being discovered by the tombkeepers to a certain extent, Jenkins felt that the fog seemed strange.

Before he could figure out what was strange, he found the location where the black spiritual light was pulling him. It is a cemetery near the northeast corner of the cemetery. It was the original address of the public cemetery before it was expanded, so the nearby graves are older modern tombs.

The old elf bent down and brushed off the cause of death on the crooked tombstone:

"Died in the winter of 1672. The cause of death was a fish bone stuck in his throat."

"Is this the deceased from almost two hundred years ago?"

Jenkins also knelt down on one knee, pressed his hand on the ground and closed his eyes to feel it. He found no evil spirit, but the black aura did point here, indicating that the real target of A-12-2-0965 [Seven Days of Rebirth] was the corpse.

"Let's dig up the grave. I'll bless the body and try to purify it of the power of the monster. May his soul rest in peace."

Although it is immoral to dig up other people's graves, Jenkins and the old elf did it for noble reasons, so there was no psychological burden on them.

Without Jenkins drawing a shovel, the old elf directly sowed the seeds and manipulated the vines to dig. He did not use vitality to manipulate plants like Jenkins did, but used his own ability [Activate the Vines].

Although the speed was a little slow, fortunately, the two did not have to do it directly, and they were happy to stand by and watch, and chat about the current situation.

The old elf also heard about the fire in the south of the main continent of the material world from the newspaper, but he did not expect it to become so serious now. Although he did not experience the end of the era in person, he had read those terrible records from the elves' documents.

The elf lamented that he was witnessing the history of the material world, but he was not uneasy about it. He had little life left, and he had lived long enough, so he didn't care when he died. He just hoped to die in his hometown and pass on all the knowledge of the elves he had mastered to Jenkins.

There were no accidents in the excavation, but what was dug out in the end was a dilapidated coffin, not an urn, which meant that the deceased was buried in the traditional burial.

The old elf carefully manipulated the vines and opened the lid of the coffin. Because of the age, the nails of the coffin no longer work. Soon the two saw the remains of the skeleton, and Jenkins also confirmed with his eyes that this was indeed the target of the black spiritual light.

"This is it, I bless it, so that [Seven Days of Rebirth] will end."

As he said, the elf nodded and stepped back two steps, standing at the edge of the grave pit to watch. Jenkins put the cat in his pocket on the grass on the side, letting the confused cat stand by itself, and he found a convenient position to stand, bent down and tried to touch the skull of the skeleton directly with his hands.

But while he was bending over, the skeleton moved, and the withered and almost shapeless bone claws grabbed Jenkins' wrist. Because of the existence of [Hero], the skeleton's hand bones immediately emitted black smoke as if burning.

Jenkins was startled and looked at the skeleton, but did not see the characteristics of the undead, that is, the blue soul fire.

"The undead revived at this time? Or is this the effect of [Seven Days of Rebirth]?"

His right hand was grabbed, and his left hand also grabbed the skeleton's hand bones. Unexpectedly, the remaining part of the body jumped out of the grave directly, and the skeleton with one arm missing jumped into the sky like flying, and flew away at the same time as Jenkins jumped out of the grave.

"What happened?"

The elf was surprised.

"I don't know, hurry up and catch up!"

There was no time to fill the grave, so the two chased in the direction where the skeleton disappeared in the sky. Still relying on the pendant bought by the elf, the skeleton finally landed in a corner of the cemetery.

There was a steam pipe exposed on the ground, and the surface of the rusty pipe was covered with dirty and heavy mud. The paint words "Good Luck Steam Pipe Company" could be vaguely seen, and the skeleton had opened its left arm to hug it.

"Damn~ How can I have such bad luck?"

Jenkins put on the bomb ring and waved his hand there. The exploding air bounced the skeleton in the air, and the sound spread far in the night sky.

The old elf knelt on one knee, with his hands and ten fingers spread out and pressed on the grass. The wildly growing weeds rushed into the sky and tied up the fallen skeleton.

Jenkins didn't dare to delay, and rushed forward to hug the skeleton. The green light representing the power of life in his body radiated outward. The skeleton couldn't break free from the weeds and Jenkins's restraints, and finally disappeared bit by bit under the flushing of the power of life.

Only the black aura representing the weirdness did not disappear because of this. Jenkins, who was a little nervous, shouted loudly for the elf to throw away the pendant.

The pendant rose into the air under the black light visible to the naked eye. As the black mist spread from the pendant, the owner of the corpse, the evil spirit that appeared in the elf's dream, finally appeared.

"You go first, I'll take care of the things here."

Seeing the lights on in the gravekeeper's hut in the distance, Jenkins knew that the noise made here had attracted attention after all.

"Are you okay alone?"

The elf was still a little worried.

"I'm not alone. Although it's wrong to break in in the middle of the night, Jenkins William's identity is still very useful. Gravekeepers are more professional than us in dealing with evil spirits, don't worry."

"Okay, I'll wait around."

As he said that, he pressed the hat on his head that covered his ears. Hurrying away.

Jenkins took a few steps back, watching the evil spirit with black aura slowly appear, and the footsteps behind him gradually approached.

The gravekeeper in charge of guarding this cemetery was a gray-haired old man. Surprisingly, he recognized Jenkins at once.

Although he was surprised by the appearance of the evil spirit, he was even more surprised after feeling the unique spiritual pollution of the weird creature. But the old gravekeeper was also experienced. He first asked Jenkins to temporarily restrain the evil spirit and prevent it from leaving the cemetery. Then he fired a flare into the sky, and the smell of the ignited flame choked the cat that came at some point and sneezed.

But this flare that was crookedly launched and exploded soon took effect. In less than three minutes, Jenkins even simply used [Life Origin] to deal with the evil spirit for a while, and the gravekeeper team led by the demigod arrived.

"Why so fast?"

Jenkins asked the old gravekeeper in surprise.

"This is not a peaceful era. We old guys who are guarding the bodies know very well that every accident may lead to a bigger accident."

The old gravekeeper holding his own shovel said as he backed away with Jenkins and watched the demigod and the team he led take action. This kind-looking old man suddenly frowned, lowered his head and asked again:

"Sorry, what is that bone you are carrying?"

"Oh, I wanted to solve the [Seven Days of Rebirth] issue by myself, so I dug up the corpse. Unexpectedly, even blowing up the corpse was useless and even attracted evil spirits."

Jenkins said embarrassedly, grabbing the right arm bone and trying to summon the fire of grace to burn it.

But at this moment, billowing black smoke rushed straight from the distant battle, and all of it got into the bones in Jenkins' hands. Jenkins, who endured the discomfort, did not let go, and was then carried by the skeleton into the sky.

The green spirit of life in his hand was unable to act on the skeleton, and was dealing with the black smoke surrounding the hand bone. Jenkins could only be carried high up in the night sky by it, and then flew towards the western coastline.

The chocolates left on the ground, the gravekeepers who didn't know what happened, and the old elves hiding outside the cemetery could only look up at Jenkins flying away in the air, feeling a headache for the current situation.

The Mechanized Curse of the Corpse itself is a strange thing, but it does not have a number for the time being. After superimposing the [Seven Days of Rebirth], which is also a strange thing, it has the current result. When he first took off, Jenkins didn't know where he was going to be taken, so he could only use fire, freeze and other methods to attack the bones of his hand in vain.

But the inexplicable black smoke is protecting it, and the strange thing cannot be destroyed easily. Maybe the original arm was just a human skeleton infected by the power of strange things, but after all kinds of mistakes, it's really hard to say what it is at this time.

The shoreline loomed ahead, and the sound of waves crashing against the bank reminded Jenkins of where he was.

You can see that the beach is shrouded in thick fog, and the density of the fog is almost ten times that of the city. But a huge black figure could be vaguely seen standing in the depths of the fog, surrounded by the shadows of the Nolan Police Department and the temporary wooden buildings left by the church to block the view.

Under the moonlight, the mechanical structure on the hazy giant reflected bright light. The sense of order and the arrangement of chaos appear together in a creation.

Chapter 1848 Chapter 1819 The Second Persuasion

The mechanical gear giant in the thick fog was the first time Jenkins fought with the Pirate King "Stealer" Devoo a few months ago. Devoo used the creation of the Gear Artisans Guild to activate the mechanical power system of an entire ship. A wonder of creation.

The church temporarily housed him here, and finally welcomed Jenkins again on this ordinary night.

Regarding the Pirate King Thief Divo, there is actually one incident left. Jenkins briefly saw the future in the art gallery, and his future self reminded himself to kill DeVoe before a certain date.

It was later proven that the mechanical giant that Divo animated using the technology of the Gear Craftsmen's Guild was not at all the purpose of the creation of the Craftsmen's Guild. Divo discovered the new power of mechanical gearing on his own. Therefore, Jenkins was asked to kill Divor in order to prevent Divor's new ideas from being passed on to the Craftsmen Guild as the two parties came into further contact, and then learned by the Difference Machine.

Jenkins wasn't quite sure what the consequences would be if this impossible thing happened. But now he understands very well that once the skeletal remains in his hand are fused with the mechanical giant, the mechanical giant that has stopped moving will have the power of two strange things: [Seven-day Rebirth] and [Corpse Mechanized Curse], and a new strange thing will be born. He couldn't even imagine how powerful the thing was.

But all attempts to destroy those skeletons were blocked by the layer of black mist wrapping the arms. Seeing that the flight altitude had dropped, Jenkins was heartbroken. He recited an ancient mantra and activated an ability that had never been used seriously:

【Bone Sacrifice】

A continuously unfolding light gray transparent ritual matrix appeared in the air. As the black mist and hand bones were all swallowed up by the ritual matrix, Jenkins fell from the air without support.

He nimbly landed on top of the gear mechanical giant, and then looked up at the moonlit night. As all the hand bones and black fog disappeared, an ugly, wheel-like, huge white bone undead fell onto the beach.

In fact, it is indeed a round wheel, but there are dense bone spurs on the outer ring, and there is a bone ball with many skulls in the center of the spokes. It fell and became embedded in the soft sand, almost half the height of the mechanical giant.

Although it seemed still, Jenkins could feel his control over it. This is an undead servant summoned by a sacrifice. Jenkins cannot send it away freely. As long as there is no battle damage, this thing will probably not disappear until around sunrise.

"It's finally over."

Jenkins, who breathed a sigh of relief, stood on top of the giant and whispered. He coughed due to the smell in the air. He was about to say hello to the church benefactors who were monitoring and controlling the containment nearby, and asked about the abnormal gray fog concentration here. what's going on.

But when I looked around, I couldn't see the shadow of the coast that I saw when I was in the air. Although there is a beach near the mechanical giant and the bone gear, looking further into the distance, there are actually some dilapidated old buildings standing in the fog in all directions.

The streets spread out in all directions with the gear giant as the center. The buildings are staggered in height, and you can even vaguely see the towering chimneys in the distance. But there is no smoke coming out of the chimneys, no lights are on in all the buildings, and there is no sign of human activity as far as the eye can see.

The location that should have been the coast, docks and warehouses is now occupied by towns. No matter where this is, it can't be Nolan.

So far, tonight's "adventure" has been very exciting. Jenkins is not without the experience of straying into unfamiliar places like this, so he is not panicked, but wants to jump off the mechanical giant to see the situation. But before he can take any action, he feels the "big guy" under his feet moving.

"The gear giant is alive?"

He was secretly surprised, but not panicked. His mental power pulled the control of the white bone wheel embedded in the ground, and at the same time summoned his cane, holding the upper end with both hands and pressing down hard.

With a lingering and teeth-grinding sound of "ding~", the lower end of the cane controlled by the power of life "took root and sprouted", like an outward-expanding tentacle, spreading from the top of the mechanical giant's head to the whole body.

The giant did not struggle, nor did he raise his hand to slap the "little mouse" on his forehead. As steam emerged from the gap in the giant's body, the sound of "zi~" and the white mist of steam spread to the surroundings. The giant spoke, and Jenkins spoke in a tone that was somewhat familiar:

"Son of the Sage, the lucky one favored by the World Tree, I want to make a deal with you."

Although the speech was much more coherent, it was obvious that this was the differential machine deep underground. Jenkins looked down at the ground, and as expected, some iron-gray metal hexagonal columns popped out from under the sand, and the columns were connected to metal gear tentacles. Those tentacles spread upward from the feet of the gear giant and contacted Jenkins' vines at the chest of the giant.

Both of them are like morning glory vines climbing all over the wall, and it is obvious that the vine tentacles growing from Jenkins's staff are at a disadvantage. Even if this can be explained as the confrontation on the surface of the Metal Gear Titan's body, the power of the gear itself has the upper hand. But now Jenkins is in control of the main body, while the main body of the Difference Machine is still deep underground, and the power used on the ground is definitely not complete.

So this once again shows that Jenkins in the mortal state is definitely not a match for the Difference Machine.

"What deal?"

He asked calmly, trying his best to control the output of the staff and the spirit of life.

"Help me, the land of steel, the gear empire..."

It is not much different from the last time he said to the believers of lies. It seems that the other party knows who the current savior qualification belongs to. After persuading the believers of lies to no avail, he found Jenkins in the "other camp" again.

"Don't dream. I'm a half-elf, the giver of the spirit of life. Do you think I will help the power of machinery?"

"But you also control death. Life is not the only thing for you."

"I heard about your conversation with the believers of lies. Since those people disagree, I will not agree even more. No matter what you want to do, you are doomed to fail."

He said, holding his cane with one hand and reaching into his pocket for the small holy silver bottle containing the potion. He was glad that he had dropped the chocolate in the cemetery just now, otherwise it would be easy to accidentally hurt it when fighting now.

This time, the annoying metal voice did not say "No cooperation, death" or something like that. The metal tentacles that kept rushing up directly pierced into the gaps on the surface of the gear giant. As the increasingly hot steam gushed out, the giant raised his hand and slapped his head with the sound of metal squeezing.
