The Master of the Strange Realm

Fearing that the church would come after him at any time, Jenkins did not use any means that he should not use. At the same time as the giant hand slapped down, the strange-shaped white bone wheel that had been waiting for a long time suddenly began to rotate rapidly in the depression of the sand.

The bone spurs on the outer periphery of the wheel cut through the air, and in the sound of sonic boom, it swept at the metal giant like a machine gun. Before the giant hand fell, although the surface of the giant was not pierced by the bones, it was pushed down by the huge bone spurs that kept hitting it.

Jenkins took this opportunity to jump down, leaving the metal giant and falling to the sand below.

The gear chain tentacles that controlled the giant transmitted the terrible power deep underground. The giant wanted to struggle to stand up, and Jenkins was ready to fight back, but at this moment, a sound appeared in the air.

Looking up, Miss Bevana, Mr. Gilbert and Miss Streis appeared from behind the fog layer in the sky. Of course, they were happy to see Jenkins was fine, but the four of them had no eye problems, so they could see more clearly the strange old town around them and the giant who wanted to get up.

"The seedling of the world tree, see you next time."

Without any warning, the giant who wanted to get up fell to the ground with just this sentence. When the two demigods and a saint of the Church of the Sages landed in front of Jenkins, he was very sure that the other party had retreated.

The four looked around and found no abnormal creatures nearby. Jenkins looked at the town in front of him, touched the small bottle in his pocket, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After that, Jenkins was pulled into the sky by Miss Befanna. When he reached a certain height, the old town disappeared, and the scenery of the Nolan coastline appeared again, and there was only thick fog below that blocked his vision.

Jenkins, who was puzzled, knew that now was not a good time to explore, so he could only follow the three back and wait for the church to investigate what happened here. He had to pick up his cat and explain to the old elf where the bone was.

As for what happened here, the church will investigate it clearly.

The experience of this night did not give Jenkins any substantial help. Even the meeting with the differential machine could only be regarded as a useless episode.

But the church took this opportunity to discover the abnormality that was happening in Nolan. It had nothing to do with the metal gear tentacles of the differential machine that left in a hurry. After investigation, the small fog group that wrapped the beach belonged to the "space anomaly zone".

After entering the fog group, he arrived at an unknown town. This was not a space transfer, but a superposition of space. For unknown reasons, the space where the beach of Nolan and the town in a distant foreign country were superimposed together became "the same place."

There are boundaries in this area. Whether from above, east, west, south, north or even below, as long as they are out of the coverage of the space anomaly zone, people who enter from Nolan can return to Nolan smoothly, and people who enter from the town that actually exists in Cheslan can return to the wilderness around the town.

Although there was no one in the town, through investigation inside the town, its origin was quickly found. It was the land of Cheslan, located in the desolate rocky mountainous area in the north of the kingdom that was not suitable for agricultural development. About ten years ago, the remote town was abandoned due to administrative divisions and population migration, so when Jenkins landed on top of the mechanical giant, he saw an uninhabited deserted appearance.

Because the town is located in the north of Cheslan, it has not been engulfed by the fire for the time being. After field investigation, it was also shrouded in a thick fog. Although it was still a small town after entering the fog, a huge gear giant could be seen, and there were inexplicably more large areas of sand in the town, and the low-lying areas were flooded by sea water.

After leaving the fog range, you can return to the normal area outside the town. However, the church's subsequent attempts found that when two people from Nolan Coast and Cheslan Town tried to leave the space anomaly at the same time, they would appear in the position where the person walking in front came.

In other words, the overlapping beach and the abandoned town have become a "space channel" connecting the west coast dock of the continent and the east coast wasteland of the continent. But this channel is not stable, and not every time you can get out of it smoothly. The evidence is the disappearance of the gifters who originally guarded here.

The ones guarding and containing the gear giants are the gifters of the Mechanical Church and the Church of Death, and they rotate every three days according to the regulations. But after Jenkins accidentally discovered the abnormality in that area, all the gifters of the Orthodox Church who were supposed to be nearby disappeared.

The church originally thought that they were lost in the town, but the subsequent search could not find any traces.

On Sunday, the second day of the incident, Jenkins participated in a joint meeting at the Church of Death. The main content of the meeting was "the unified placement of the containment items to prevent the arrival of the doomsday from causing a large-scale containment out-of-control incident." During the break between the meetings, he learned from the gravekeeper of the Church of Death that the missing gifters were basically determined to be dead.

The cause of death was discovered by the fortune tellers of the Church of Destiny. The fortune tellers interpreted the divination results and believed that the missing people fell into the "gap in space" and would be exiled forever in a realm that mortals could not reach. This is a very cruel way to die, but neither the church nor Jenkins can do anything about it.

What Jenkins was most curious about was actually the reason for the space overlap phenomenon. He originally thought it was related to the Difference Machine, but now there is no evidence to prove that the Difference Machine has the ability to manipulate space anomalies.

No one could answer his question, but most people thought that this should be attributed to the coming of the end of the world. Spatial anomalies are one of the manifestations of world anomalies and should be accidental events with a low probability.

But not long after this conclusion was made, the second group of thick fog appeared in the mine east of Nolan City in the evening, and merged the mine with the village south of Hampavo, causing at least dozens of people to be buried in the mine. The church also took this matter seriously.

Jenkins conducted a field survey of the mine on Sunday evening. Under the effect of the Eye of Truth, he found some spiritual gears buried deep underground. But the mine was originally an area where the craftsmen would be active, so finding those scattered gears did not prove anything, and his actions were considered to be in vain.

But whether it was a mechanical conspiracy or a natural disaster under the end of the world, Jenkins was full of a sense of crisis. After returning from the mine on Sunday night, he did not go home to rest, but made an appointment with Sigrid to meet alone in the Evergreen Forest.

Under the giant tree, he held each part of the seed of the world tree in his hands and showed it to Sigrid. After he obtained the tree soul, the metal-like seed turned into a walnut, but its size did not increase:

"This matter can't wait any longer. I plan to put the seeds together as soon as possible. No matter what happens next, it's better than knowing nothing now."

"As long as you make up your mind, I will support you. No one knows what will happen when they are put together, but you are right. It is more useful to try than to sit and wait for death. Do you need me to do anything?"

Sigrid asked.

Jenkins shook his head:

"I will tell the church about this matter and let the church prepare to prevent accidents. My elder said that it is best to arrange a large ceremony to channel the spirit. I hope you can also participate as a witness. The world tree sacrifice is in the blood of the material world. It is estimated that there are only two of us who have become the gift and have the power of the blood. I hope you can see this with your own eyes."

Sigrid would naturally not disagree.

The inexplicable space transfer incident made Jenkins's anxiety reach the extreme. Inspiration reminded him that this was a sign of something dangerous.

He explained to the church that he wanted to try to awaken the [World Tree Seedling], and the church expressed support. In order to prevent more trouble, they only left one day on Monday to prepare, and on Tuesday, Jenkins closed the World Tree Seed under the tree in the Evergreen Forest.

In the short three days starting from Saturday, everything did not stagnate because of Jenkins' decision. The Three Kings Talks and the Joint Meeting of the Twelve Churches were carried out in an orderly manner. The fire in the south was burning. Abnormal events around the world put the church and ordinary people in danger and anxiety. Mechanized corpses continued to appear, and the fog covering the sky spread from the city to the countryside, faintly connected.

It seemed that in a short week, the whole world realized that the world was facing changes, and not good changes. Even Britney asked Jenkins what was wrong with this world.

Jenkins comforted the blonde girl and told her that this was the era.

While the Sage Church was preparing in the Evergreen Forest on Monday, Jenkins also had his own things to do to prevent the impact of the closing of the World Tree Seed from spreading too far.

He asked Alexia about the method of summoning the coachman, and took advantage of the free time after breakfast on Monday morning to set up the ritual array in the basement of his house.

In order to prevent Hathaway from discovering that her secret whereabouts had been known by Jenkins, Jenkins set up the array away from the girls at home. He asked his reliable cat to stand guard at the door of the basement, and then placed the materials prepared by Alexia on the ground.

The ritual array was carved on the ground with the white bone holy sword. Alexia believed that the holy sword that was once a weirdo would be more effective than the silver dagger.

Throwing the silent spell to the wall, Jenkins also placed the last piece of amethyst inlaid with obsidian in the corresponding position, and then threw a [Seed of Blasphemy] high up. He only had four sin coins now.

As the sin coins were thrown into the air, the spirit activated the ritual on the ground. Billowing black smoke came out of the ritual array carved on the ground. Before the sin coins flew to the highest point, the black smoke had almost spread to every corner of the basement.

Jenkins put on a monocle and watched the aura representing the coachman appear out of thin air. When his coin fell, a dark hand reached out from the black smoke and caught it.

Chapter 1850 Chapter 1821 Fare

"Good day, guest."

The coachman, who received the sin coin as the price of summoning, saluted respectfully, with his black hat tilted to one side of his head, half covering his face that seemed to be burned. He looked around and looked at Jenkins with his slightly protruding right eye:

"Looks familiar, oh, it's you."

He still remembered the last time he earned sin coins from Jenkins with the information of his employer.

But as soon as he finished saying this, he felt something was wrong here. The coachman slowly lowered his head to look at his hands with dirty gloves and gray bandages, and then looked at the carriage behind him. There were tiny black particles flying up from the coachman and the carriage, as if both were evaporating.

"Where is this?"

The carriage asked vigilantly, pulling his collar, and Jenkins saw a purple shirt with a dirty collar inside.

“This is my home.”

Jenkins said, and then realized that even Mr. Augustus was unwilling to enter his home after his invitation. The coachman would definitely not feel the impact of the occasion that was almost "God's residence" when he appeared in the basement.

"Your home? I understand."

He fumbled in his pocket and threw the blasphemous seed and a soul gold that Jenkins used to summon him:

"I will return the sin coin I got from you last time. I don't need the price for summoning me this time... Can I go now?"

Although Jenkins did not expect the other party to do this, he still took the coin quickly. The cat standing on the steps of the basement turned around when he heard Jenkins picking up something. The driver saw the cat up close and subconsciously took a step back:

"Can I go now? I was wrong last time. I think I shouldn't have transported such a dangerous thing to you. You wanted me to help deliver the [Dream of the Ancient God] to the employer last time, right? No problem, I'll do it right away."

"No need, the whole family of that employer is dead."

Jenkins shook his head. Although he was surprised by the driver's panic and reminded him of the insurance salesman who he had never seen since he escaped last time, he would not give the returned sin coins to the other party.

"There are actually two things I asked you to do this time. I won't make it difficult for you. After all, you are also acting within the rules set by the great ones."

The coachman's power is not strong, and he has normal reason. He is not the kind of weird creature that cannot communicate, so he can easily show a cooperative attitude.

"What's the matter?"

"First of all, there are three human women in this house now."

He pointed upwards, and then his face suddenly became fierce:

"Don't contact them, no matter what the circumstances, don't do your business with them."

"No problem, they are just ordinary humans, I don't need such business."

Although he said so, the driver did not return the sin coins that Hathaway had spent, and Jenkins naturally would not ask for them.

"The second thing is that I need to go to a place, and I will pay. You are responsible for sending me there and then bringing me back."

After all, that place is prohibited from moving in space, and [Real Phantom] has been proven to be invalid.

"Of course no problem, where?"

The driver nodded immediately when he heard that there was a sin coin to take, and asked calmly while holding his hat.

"It's complicated. First of all, that place is underground."

Jenkins stamped his feet.

"It doesn't matter if it's underground. My business is not limited to the ground."

"Secondly, there was originally space there, but now it has collapsed. I'm not sure if there is still a hole left for you to park."

"Well... it's not a big problem. I can go anywhere, whether in the sky, in the water, or underground, but the price is a bit higher. Please forgive me. These rules are made by the great ones who we all know but cannot mention their names. Although I can help you transport the weird things to your enemies for free to apologize, I can't work for free outside this system."

"Of course I understand."

Jenkins actually felt a little guilty. In addition to the [Soul Gold] and [Profane Seed] he returned, he only had five sin coins. But he knew that Alexia probably had a few, after all, Hathaway's sin coins were given by her.

"But there is a third question. Space movement is prohibited in that place."

"What type of space movement is prohibited?"

This time the driver did not rashly say that it was no problem, but asked cautiously in a hoarse voice.

"I don't know enough about this, but we can give it a try. You name a price."

"I need to know the specific address first."

The driver said.

"No problem."

Jenkins nodded, and two silver light bands representing the knowledge in two lives flowed around him like a flowing river. With a flick of his finger, the silver light was ejected and entered the driver's head.

The latter was stunned for a moment to digest that brief experience, and then pondered for a while before giving a reply:

"I roughly understand the specific location. This place should be accessible, but I still have to try it. I dare not guarantee it 100%. But because of the special location, the charge is more expensive. I prefer you to pay with [Soul Gold], which will be cheaper for you. If it is other types of sin coins, the price will be multiplied by 1.5 times, and I can give change here."

The driver finally gave a price of 3 soul golds, of course, this includes the return ticket to transport Jenkins back from the underground. But Jenkins did not have three soul golds, only two soul golds, 1 gem of time and 2 seeds of blasphemy.

Finally, he paid with two soul golds and 1.5 blasphemous seeds. The 0.5 was obtained by Jenkins by fusing the illusory coins he had obtained over the past six months, which was almost half a coin. He did not master the method of observing the value of sin coins by color, but the driver seemed to be able to do so.

After receiving the sin coins, the driver put three complete coins in his pocket, and held the remaining translucent coin between his fingers, knocking it under the carriage behind him to make it into two. He returned the almost transparent coin to Jenkins, and the remaining 0.5 was naturally left.

So after this transaction, Jenkins only had 1 complete age gem and 1 more blasphemous seed.

Since the fare was paid, the two set off directly without chatting. Although Jenkins only paid for his own ride, the driver did not stop the cat from entering the carriage with him.

The driver repeatedly reminded that passengers must not look outside before the carriage stopped, and must not try to leave the carriage by any means. This was the only requirement he gave to passengers.

Section 1851 Chapter 1822 A4 type arithmetic auxiliary external machinery

Jenkins was not so curious and did not intend to disobey the driver's instructions.

Therefore, after sitting in the seemingly ordinary carriage, he shrank his head and stared at his cat, which was of course to prevent it from running around and accidentally looking outside.

Chocolate looked at Jenkins obediently and silently. In the cat's eyes, he saw a curled up behemoth, while in Jenkins' eyes, he seemed to see the yellow moon of his hometown.

After a smooth and boring journey of more than ten minutes, the driver's voice reminded the man and the cat that they had reached their destination. It seemed that the underground rule prohibiting space movement had no effect on this strange creature.

Just as Jenkins expected, the last collapse directly buried the underground hollow passage where the self-proclaimed [A4 type calculator...] was located, but fortunately, the space where the sealed machine was located was intact.

The reinforced seal flashed a silver-purple light in the dark space. When the driver's carriage stopped and Jenkins got out of the carriage, in addition to the color of the seal itself, the surface of the machine that looked like a metal altar also lit up red.

The first message that appeared after Mr. Pisco's death asked Jenkins to help reinforce the seal here. Now thinking about it, his meaning was probably not just as simple as asking Jenkins to reinforce the seal.

As the carriage appeared, a beam of light rose from the center of the altar, and the expressionless man's face floated in the beam of light. Without opening his mouth, the sound came from the mechanical interior of the metal altar. He still remembered Jenkins:

"Long time no see, Redanput, I knew you would come back."

"Did you calculate that I would come back?"

"This shouldn't be called calculation. I know you must want to know something deeper underground, so you will definitely come to me. My name is [A4 type arithmetic auxiliary external machine]. I think you didn't hear it clearly last time."

Jenkins turned his head to look at the carriage waiting for him. The coachman immediately got into the carriage with his hat pressed, indicating that he had no intention of listening to the conversation here. Jenkins put the soft cat on his shoulder and looked at the face in the beam of light:

"I won't say any more nonsense. I think you should know something. Now tell me, do you know Mr. Pisco? Mason Pisco. Male human."

"Yes, of course I know him. He strengthened my seal before you, forcing me to stay here, and he did something very cruel to me - he showed me the paper of the Epic of Time. In my records, although I only saw blank paper, seeing the remaining pages of the book means that I have fallen into the trap of fate."

Jenkins frowned. He had also seen Mr. Pisco's blank paper, which had two identical sentences written on it at the time, used to reverse the flow of time. Later, he even witnessed the written version of the Epic of Time in the past, which was probably more serious than seeing the paper.
