The Master of the Strange Realm

There are not many books on languages, and a large number of niche languages ​​have been lost in the past history. There are only a few hundred languages ​​that are worthy of being included in the church, but there is not a single word of "Lorchi language". This is a language that contains power in itself, and it may be found in the library on the next level.

Although Jenkins is confident that his soul strength and mental resistance are stronger than most of the gifted people of the same level, he cannot tell this to the keeper who guards the [Gate of All Things].

No information about "sin coins" was found in the materials of [Gift] and [Supernatural]. In the end, a very short text was found in [Weird Objects]:

[Sin coins are divided into 17 types, numbered from A-01-0-5001 to A-01-0-5017. Their physical data such as size and weight are exactly the same, and only the patterns and materials on the front and back are different. The current number of existing ones is extremely rare, and many of them have been found in some relics before the era. Holding a sin coin, injecting your own spirit, blowing lightly on it near your mouth, and then moving it to your ear, you can gain some terrible knowledge. 】

That's all, even the names and specific images of the 17 sin coins were not mentioned.

What's even more strange is that this is the first time Jenkins has seen an item with a danger level of "0". What does this mean?

He didn't dare to ask others this question, because there must be not many items with a danger level of "0", and asking rashly might directly expose his purpose.

Looking around with his peripheral vision, Jenkins gave up the idea of ​​taking out the sin coin here to experiment, and was more cautious.

(Chocolate running)

"The heart of the ocean is polluted? This can't be..."

Putting the book he had read back to its original place, Jenkins walked out of the bronze door thoughtfully, and looked up to see his father talking to Mr. Smith.

"Should I avoid it?"

He shrugged, indicating that he had no intention of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

"No, let's go."

The old man shook his head, threw Jenkins' cane to him, and then turned to Smith and said:

"This should be true, but after one Heart of the Ocean is destroyed, another will regenerate quickly. The one held by Fermishu has already shown a tendency to become a strange object. God knows what kind of strange place he has been to, or what items he has fused. Some information I need to see behind the door, and the application for special permissions should be completed next week."

"That's too bad. Even those who belong to the Pirate King hate lunatics like Fermishu. So, the gifter should always maintain a humble attitude, and the acquisition of power should be..."

He did not say the last few words, but nodded to Jenkins, walked forward and closed the Gate of All Things. The latter wisely pretended not to hear the conversation between the two.

Following the old man out, a carriage stopped at the back door of the church. Boarding the carriage, Professor Burns was waiting for the two on it, and Chocolate ran up at some point.

The professor looked a little tired.

"Is the matter settled?"

The carriage moved forward slowly until it was two blocks away from the church, and Jenkins asked in a low voice.

"The Shield of Arrogance has been handed in, and we can't keep it."

The old man shook his head and looked at the pedestrians hurrying by outside the window. A little boy with a cigarette box hanging around his neck tried to approach with a limp, and Jenkins shook his head at him, but threw a copper coin.

"This thing is indeed not something we can keep. I mean, the two tablets in the underground space..."

"Leave it there for the time being."

The professor sighed while holding his glasses, "Although the church does not take back the things obtained by the scribes in their own explorations, items before this era have always been taboos. Oliver helped to identify it. Although the text on the tablet has been lost, it is not impossible to translate. It seems that there is nothing we want to know on it, but it is still worth studying. I will take it back after the storm has passed."

It turned out that the professor was not lamenting that the harvest was handed in, but that the inscription on the tablet was not as valuable as he thought.

"But this expedition at least confirmed that your research direction is correct. There are indeed some real underground ruins in the ancient records... Maybe we will..."

"Don't say it."

Dad interrupted Jenkins with a stern expression: "Do you think that ancient ruins are all treasure rooms? Buildings that can survive from the end of the era to the present are definitely not without danger. You are very lucky this time. You didn't encounter any weird things except that plant, but luck will not last forever. Even the believers of [Fate Hermit] know this. If the professor is lucky enough to find similar ruins, you must report it to the church. This is not something that a single person can handle, unless you are level 8 or above... Of course, there have been such examples before. The church will return the proceeds of the expedition to the discoverer according to a certain ratio, and you will not lose anything!"

Jenkins and Professor Burns touched their noses at the same time and looked at each other.

"The two pure gold boxes will be kept there for a few days, and they will be distributed to you after they are taken out. Mr. Oliver said that their purity is not very high, so he can help get rid of them."

Talking about the proceeds, the professor remembered this.

"Oh?"

Jenkins just realized that he also had interests involved. He had just been thinking about the stone tablet and the ruins and forgot about it.

Chapter 166 Chapter 162 Past Apprentices

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Jenkins replied somewhat nonchalantly.

Yes, he now has 8,000 pounds in cash, so he is really not in a hurry.

The money was now sewn onto his underwear, and the fine stitches proved how much Jenkins valued it. He has not investigated the banking industry in this world for the time being, and he does not dare to trust it. It is very risky to keep it at home, so luckily he will keep it with him.

The acquisition of this huge sum of money slightly diluted the depression caused by another incident - when he was invited to the reading salon by Miss Michael, he once relied on a unique ghost story to obtain a magical weapon from the devil - Little Wellington. Brilliant gemstone earrings.

But with the death of little Wellington, Jenkins was surprised to find that the earring turned into an ordinary object.

Yes, normal items that no longer have any aura.

He could only guess that some extremely powerful ritual spell had been cast on the earring itself, making its aura close to that of a special item. And now, like the vegetables on the shopping street, it has expired.

Although the gems were real and equally valuable, Jenkins always felt like he had suffered a big loss.

Little Wellington was dead, and he didn't even know where the church had taken his body. He could only touch the chocolate with a depressed mood to make himself feel better.

Having a cat is indeed the right choice.

The father and the professor had just returned from outside the city. In addition to handing over the arrogant shield, the father also went to Smith to talk about something, so he happened to meet Jenkins who came out of the Gate of All Things.

The carriage first took Professor Burns to the intersection where the school was located, and then sent Jenkins and Dad back to the antique shop.

Of course, Jenkins paid for the fare. After getting off the bus, he followed his father into the store before explaining his purpose of following.

"Dad, I have already obtained the crystal of [Starry Sky Debris]. I have time tonight, why don't I just study here?"

As he spoke, he took out the prismatic transparent stone that looked like a work of art from his pocket, with the galaxy slowly rotating in the center.

Learning rituals is not as simple as finding a piece of flat ground. For some simple ones, such as the white ability [flexible legs and feet], you can indeed choose the location at will, but for slightly more complex abilities, the ritual location must be dealt with in advance.

For example, the church, the church's nursing home, or Dad's warehouse. It's not that these locations have so-called "spiritual veins", but some more complex needs.

Dad reached out and took the spar, looked at the last ray of sunset outside for a moment, and handed it back to Jenkins.

"You moved very quickly. It seems that you have finally made some friends or found your own way. It really doesn't let anyone rest. I was busy all night and didn't sleep..."

"Then go to sleep, it won't be too late in a few days!"

Only then did Jenkins realize this. He patted his head apologetically and prepared to take off the coat he had just taken off and hung aside.

"You're kidding, isn't it just a ceremony? It won't take long."

The father waved his hand with his back and placed the bunch of keys strung with black wire on the wooden counter.

"I'll go upstairs to change clothes first. You take the key and go to the warehouse at the back to get ready. You can already see the starry sky now."

[Astral Perception], judging from the name, we know that this ability is inextricably linked to the righteous god [All Things Starry Sky]. In fact, this is the case, so when carving the ritual array on the ground, the holy emblem of [All Things Starry Sky] and the holy emblem of [Heritage Sage] must be carved first to show their identity.

It was the most expensive ceremony Jenkins had ever held. Different from the strange items required for other rituals, the most difficult material to obtain for this learning ritual is [Star Debris]. Most of the other required materials can be purchased in any city - gems.

After trying three times, he used blue ceremonial chalk to draw a standard circle on the ground with his freehand, with the Holy Emblem on the left and right, and then placed the purchased gemstones one by one according to today's starry sky. In the circle.

There is no need for advanced stargazing abilities. All that is required is that the organizer of the ceremony arranges the stars according to his or her own understanding.

If it hadn't been for the recent abundant cash income, and if it hadn't been obtained through the church's channels, one ritual would have been enough for Jenkins to go bankrupt.

When his father walked into the warehouse wearing that old-fashioned red velvet vest, Jenkins was looking up through the skylight at the top of the warehouse.

"It's very fast."

Dad stood ten meters away from the standard circle, squinted his eyes for a while, and nodded with satisfaction.

"After studying with me for more than two months, you are able to perform such a ceremony independently. Jenkins, you are indeed the most talented apprentice I have ever seen."

"Have dad met any other apprentices?"

He asked as he poured the silver powder into Hoshimihana's white solution.

"Did you think you were my first apprentice?"

Dad's expression was a little strange.

"Eh?"

Jenkins was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that what was being stirred could not be stopped, so he stepped up his movements.

"Dad had an apprentice before?"

"Of course, you are my fourth apprentice."

He nodded.

Generally speaking, at this point in the conversation, he should take the initiative to introduce the top three. But after the old man said this, he stopped talking and looked up at the stars in the sky just like Jenkins did just now.

Jenkins knew that Oliver was not the kind of guy who liked to keep people on suspense, so he had no intention of continuing the previous topic. He consciously closed his mouth and continued to stir 12 circles clockwise, thinking that he would ask Captain Binsey when he had time.

He cut his finger with a silver dagger, and blood dripped into the vessel in his hand. He used his ability to heal the wound, and then took out a blue feather.

That's right, it was the one he got at the party. Jenkins collected materials these days and found out that this was the feather of a bird called [Flash Sparrow]. When this bird flutters its wings, there will be a few flashes of light, hence the name.

He dipped some glittering liquid on the upper part of the feather, took out the Book of Memories, and made the ritual requirements he saw that day appear on it. Carefully write a long string of words on the periphery of the circle without knowing a single letter, until the last letter similar to Alpha was written, the words just surrounded the circle, and the mixed paint that originally had no luminous ability began to emit a light blue light.

The last step is to place four ordinary candles outside the circle in the east, west, south and north and light them, and the preparation process is over.

Chapter 167 Chapter 163 Astral Perception

Because the learning of abilities requires being naked, Jenkins asked his father to avoid it. After hesitating for a while, considering that Chocolate now has a certain intelligence, he threw it out as well. To be honest, Jenkins hadn't noticed that it had been lying on the side just now.

Take off all clothes, lie horizontally in the circle, and place [Starry Sky Debris] directly above the heart.

The moment it touches the skin, a warm current spreads from the heart to the limbs. This feeling is not like soaking in warm water, but like being slowly rubbed by some kind of fur.

The feeling of being watched suddenly appeared, and the intensity of this feeling is far less than being watched by the gods. But there is no mistake. In the space parallel to reality-the astral world, some extremely strange creatures have discovered the naked writer.

Jenkins, surrounded by gems and strange words, is like a living sacrifice in some cult rituals. In the past, the ceremony only required standing or kneeling on one knee. I don't know why it was so strange this time.

Looking at the starry sky outside the small window, I resisted the urge to jump up, letting the spirit in my body spread evenly to my limbs and then flow to the outside world. In my peripheral vision, I could see the gems and the circles of words mixed with blood, silver powder, and plant slurry spinning rapidly, but my eyes could not move and I kept staring at the starry sky.

My body seemed to be rising, and the starry sky in my eyes was getting bigger and bigger, but this couldn't be true because the window was closed.

Only five minutes later, the sky above my head was completely full of bright stars. My body couldn't feel the touch of the ground, and I looked around, and the boundless universe appeared before my eyes.

This amazing spectacle only appeared for a few seconds, and three beams of silver and blue light appeared at the edge of the boundless world. In a blink of an eye, the roof and the ground reappeared.

"Is that the only native inhabitant of the star world, the star spirit?"

He guessed in surprise, the ceremony instructions did not mention seeing the star spirit. There is no matter, time and space in the astral world. Even the Church of Knowledge and Books cannot clearly explain what kind of world it is.

And the astral spirits are more like a simple soul group than the creatures defined by humans. Some extreme believers of [All-seeing Starry Sky] believe that the astral world is actually a virtual space constructed by human consciousness, and the astral spirits are the aggregation of human consciousness.

He stood up, patted the dirt on his back, and a new light spot appeared in front of him.

Daddy's warehouse stores a large number of precious antiques, as well as precious antiques that look real. For this ceremony, Jenkins deliberately chose a small piece of clean flat ground with a skylight.

After getting dressed and taking a shower at home, Jenkins cleaned the ground. All the gems turned into brittle stones that broke with a pinch, but the bottles and jars could be used next time after washing.

"Meow~"

As soon as he walked out of the warehouse door, he heard Chocolate's cry. It ran over agilely, then jumped into Jenkins' arms, supporting its body with two short legs, and its upper limbs were waving their claws and trying to scratch his face.

"Stop it!"

Jenkins gently smoothed the fur on the back of the cat's neck, then walked to the old man who was looking up at the stars.

"It went smoothly, but I think I saw the star spirit."

He said hesitantly, wondering why he would have accidents when doing anything.

"Meow~"

Chocolate's cat ears shook a few times, looked at Jenkins, and then looked at the sky with curious eyes like an ordinary kitten.

"Star spirit? It doesn't matter. People who come into contact with the star world can more or less encounter them. Legend has it that they can bring luck to people."

The old man lowered his head and turned his neck. Jenkins could hear a clear "click~" sound.

"Now I can tell you why you learn this ability."

He didn't seem to have any intention of leaving the yard. The night in Nolan City in October was already very cold. Although it was still far from winter, the drop in temperature was still surprising.

Jenkins didn't feel cold. Although he didn't wear much and his coat was still on the hook in the store, there were too many pockets sewn on his underwear, which made the thickness of the underwear thicker.
