The Master of the Strange Realm

"Yes, although the difference machine cannot modify the defects based on its own basic structure, it has made itself larger over countless years. This not only increases its computing power and functions, but also protects the original body. I call its original body the 'body core'."

[A4 type arithmetic auxiliary external machine] once said that the core of the difference machine is likely to be underground. If Jenkins wants to defeat the opponent through this defect, he can only go deep underground for a decisive battle.

He now has a drop of divinity, but it is not guaranteed that it will support him to find the core hidden deep underground. But this weekend, there is a high probability that another drop of divinity will be harvested, and then Jenkins will choose to go underground for a decisive battle.

"You seem to have made an important decision."

Jessica suddenly said.

"No, I was just thinking about things a little absent-mindedly."

Jenkins shook his head, and Jessica looked at him suspiciously, but did not continue to ask.

Chapter 1931 Chapter 1902 Reversing Destiny

The conversation time always passed quickly. After the two Windsors confirmed that Jenkins had nothing to ask for the time being, they returned to Jessica's body, and the body created by Jenkins fell into a sleeping state.

In fact, it was a vegetative state.

Jenkins took the two legs of the wooden chair, and after stimulating the growth of vitality, he made two exquisite coffins on the spot and put the two bodies in. For the sake of beauty, he even "painted" a crystal sliding cover for the coffin, so that even if the cover was closed, the faces of the two ladies inside could be appreciated.

"It feels so strange, watching my body lying in..."

Jessica said standing beside Jenkins. She had contacted a reliable servant, and then the two coffins were transported back to the Windsor mansion for storage.

"Strange? It's okay."

Jenkins is not her, so he can't empathize.

"There is another thing. When I was at your house yesterday evening, you behaved very well."

Jessica said again, referring to taking her home and explaining things to the girls at home.

"I said I would take care of it all... Well, actually I've always felt guilty."

"I feel guilty too, after all, I did interfere in other people's feelings."

Although she said so, she couldn't see guilt on her smiling face. Jessica said, and put one hand on Jenkins' shoulder, and the cat lying on the back of the sofa immediately opened its eyes sensitively.

Jenkins turned his head slightly and looked at the hand.

"Am I a bad woman?"

Jessica asked.

"Of course not."

He was still looking at the hand, a very beautiful hand, wearing white lace gloves, but still able to see the white and tender fingers.

"That's good."

She said, and put her other hand on Jenkins' other shoulder, then put her arm around his neck and kissed him.

"Meow~"

Chocolate was unhappy, but she knew she couldn't stop Jenkins, so she could only lie on the sofa and look at the two with a "fierce" look.

"You know my body very well, don't you?"

She let go of Jenkins slightly, but still put her arm around his neck. The two were very close, and Jenkins could see the blush on Jessica's face and her nose trembling slightly.

"Yes."

He replied.

"So do you want to know more?"

Jenkins blinked, of course he knew what this meant.

"No, no."

He shook his head violently, and seeing the other party's reproachful eyes, he whispered:

"It's only daytime now... We still have things to do today... Will you come to my house tonight? My bedroom is well decorated."

Jessica didn't nod, but kissed Jenkins again. It was a very immature kiss, after all, she had never had such close contact with a man.

After reconfirming the weekend arrangements, Jenkins watched the troika of carriages at the door of the club to transport two coffins and Jessica away. He looked up at the sky, and then realized that he didn't have the ability to tell the time by the position of the sun, so he looked down at his pocket watch. It was only half past eight, and it was time to go to church.

The fifth-story tower that rose last night provided a lot of clues. Combined with the church's investigation of the ritual of the rebellious in the past week, a very informative investigation report was formed in one night.

Jenkins got the bound report in Miss Bevan's office. The first thing he saw was the black photo on the top.

"What is this?"

The photo showed a heart made of charred black skulls on the sand. Because it was taken at night, there were some problems with exposure.

This pattern has nothing to do with the metal black tower and the newly emerged Class B supernatural events, so Jenkins was surprised that it appeared on the first page of the report.

"This is a copy of the photo sent from the front line of the fire in southern Cheslan last night. It is a trace of some kind of ritual. In fact, the church did not fail to extinguish the fire, but the effect was not significant. This was discovered from the extinguished fire. That location is the holy temple of the primitive settlement in the southern forest, which is actually a simple sacrificial site made of stones."

Miss Bevan said anxiously.

"What is the purpose of the ritual?"

"Transfer a Class B extraordinary item that is fixed at that location. It is a sacred object of that settlement. It is contained in the southern forest in situ and is almost impossible to move. Specifically, you turn to the second page."

Jenkins turned the page and saw a simple drawing of a rough goat-headed helmet on the second page. Judging from the scale marked, this helmet was probably designed according to the size of a Titan.

"B-04-3-9292 [Gladiator's Honor] is similar to B-06-5-7340 [Brave Arena] that appeared when Nolan encountered the devil last fall, but Gladiator's Honor does not require death. Bo, it is more similar to using a gladiatorial method to please this Class B extraordinary item. After the gladiatorial battle, both the victor and the loser will receive a very weak spirit."

"This item was taken to Nolan?"

Jenkins asked while continuing to turn the pages backward. Miss Bevanna put her piston pen on the pen holder and nodded to Jenkins:

"The third page contains evidence that it was transferred to Nolan. Although it disappeared after entering the parish area, the divination of the prophets said that it is likely to be related to the fifth floor of the Black Tower. Therefore, we believe , the fifth floor of the Black Tower is actually a gladiatorial arena created using several rituals and some Class A and Class B items.”

Miss Bevanna said as Jenkins turned back. The following content is related to the "Fate-Rebel Ritual" mentioned in ancient books. The purpose of the ritual is to reverse a period of destiny. Therefore, after the ceremony officially begins, there must be a symbol of "reversal". For example, to reverse time, there must be something like a "reversed clock", and to reverse love, there must be a "broken heart" as a symbol.

According to such rules, the church believes that the fifth floor of the Black Tower represents the reversal of the fate of the "twin devils" or the fate of the "hero".

The former belongs to the red fighting ability and is the only savior emblem that can be transferred by killing the opponent. Although the latter ability has nothing to do with dueling, in a general sense, [Hero] has the impression of being invincible. If he can win in the arena Defeating a person with the destiny of [Hero] one-on-one also means that [Hero] is reversed.

Now, basically everyone agrees that the metal black tower will have nine floors, and each floor will correspond to a savior emblem. Based on this view, the church would like to remind believers who have the lies of "Twin Demons" and "Heroes" not to enter the fifth floor of the metal black tower under any circumstances.

It's not that the church thinks they will definitely lose, but that the Difference Engine must have a way to make them lose.

Now the church cannot contact the believers who lied. Those people did not leave any contact information at all. The last time they appeared was on the fourth floor of the tower to deal with those mechanical skeleton birds.

So the Twelve Churches told everyone in the church this warning, so that soon all the Gifters in Nolan City would know the news, and the believers of lies would naturally know it too.

PS: The information in this chapter is critical.

Chapter 1932 Chapter 1903 Alchemy Compass

After this, Miss Bevanna also asked Jenkins if he had anything else to do today. Jenkins' original plan was to talk to Feeney, meet up with her friends, and arrange for the flower girls to be featured in the weekend's big event. After that, I will draw some charts for easy use during the speech. This is the plan for the day.

But as long as the drawing requires data that is still with Jessica, the drawing process [reading and writing] can be completed in one second.

So he told Miss Bevanna that he still had some things to do in the morning. Miss Bevanna didn't care what he was going to do, but said that if she had time, she could go to the eastern suburbs of Nolan to help.

The B-06-2-4482 [Battle of the Treasure Hunters] incident that occurred last night is not over yet, and the final winner has not yet appeared. This extraordinary event is similar to a large-scale treasure hunt with special rules. The characteristics will only disappear after the "treasure" is found.

Because the two overlapping sword clouds that appeared in the sky on the eastern outskirts of the city last night were too conspicuous, almost all the benefactors in the city have now flocked there to try their luck.

The church did not want to restrict the influx of non-registered giftees, so it only maintained a minimum level of order so as not to turn the eastern suburbs into a battlefield. Miss Bevanna thought that Jenkins' unique destiny might play a role in such an incident.

It would be the best thing if he could find the treasure and let the swarms of benefactors stop for a while.

Because of Miss Bevanna's suggestion, after meeting the flower girls in the morning, Jenkins took his cat back to the church for lunch. Then he said that he would go to the eastern suburbs for a visit in the afternoon, and Miss Bevanna immediately arranged for people to meet him.

The eastern suburbs of Nolan are actually not the eastern part of Nolan, but the northeastern part of Nolan. This is a low hilly terrain, and looking to the north is the mountain system that cuts across the north and south of the continent. Mining, fruit tree planting, and timber business are the main activities in this area. The urban population is very small, and it is often the case that no one can see people from far away.

The church entered this area last night, relying on the few churches in small towns to achieve basic control over the eastern suburbs. But after dawn, this kind of control was relaxed a lot, and only the security management of the town was carried out. As long as there was no big commotion outside the town, then it would be ignored.

The carriage carrying Jenkins stopped in the small town of Beketo. After Jenkins got out of the car, he and his cat looked up at the small church in front of them.

The Sage Church here is much smaller than Nolan's cathedral, but it is about the same size as the church that Jenkins found in the Flowery Weird Land and adopted young Sigrid.

He thanked the coachman, then pushed open the gate and walked in. The nun waiting in the small courtyard immediately came up to him, and then Jenkins met the local priest and Mr. Bernoulli, the church demigod who was sent by the diocese to manage and be in charge of this place, in the reception room behind the church.

He was also transferred from other places and used to live in the desert town of Oises in the center of the continent. Although it is just a town, because the desert in the middle of the continent has been the main sleeping place of the sealed subspace creatures since the ancient times, the town plays an important role in the church, but the town has a demigod resident.

Mr. Bernoulli is not a powerful demigod, nor is he outstanding in the church. Before this, Jenkins had only heard of his name and was not familiar with this gentleman. But Mr. Bernoulli was unexpectedly enthusiastic about Jenkins. He explained the current situation to him, handed him the detailed information about B-06-2-4482 [Battle of the Treasure Hunters], and even gave him a small compass.

This is an alchemical item he made himself, which can detect the location of the treasure to a certain extent. Although it may not be useful for Class B supernatural events, it is at least a token of his appreciation.

Jenkins played with the alchemical item curiously, and did not forget to ask Mr. Bernoulli whether the obsidian seal under the nameless temple in the central desert had been dealt with before he left the city where he was stationed and went to Nolan.

The old nameless temple appeared in the central desert of the continent, and the obsidian seal under the nameless temple happened very early this year, when [Stage of Destiny] had just ended and the [Stranger] event had not yet begun.

This should be considered as one of the starting points of the continuous disasters outside the material world of Nolan. In order to deal with this matter, the Twelve Churches mobilized many demigods to go there, and even Miss Bevanna was almost transferred away. Later, Jenkins was busy with his own affairs and did not inquire about the follow-up of this matter. Now that he has met Mr. Bernoulli, a demigod from a small town in the central desert, he naturally has to satisfy his curiosity.

"It has been solved. It was probably before I left the town. We found that it was just a warning through the stone slab found in the temple. In fact, there is nothing in the obsidian. The purpose of the temple and the seal is to remind future generations not to easily touch things that do not belong to them."

"There is nothing in the seal?"

Jenkins confirmed.

"Yes, nothing."

Mr. Bernoulli said with certainty in his half-baked Fidelic language, and reminded:

"Saint William, if you are curious about this matter, you can send a letter to the Church of Beldiran and ask for a report on the incident. Oh, to be honest, writing a report after the incident is over is really more troublesome than dealing with it."

The church originally intended to send a team to work with Jenkins, but he refused. So after talking with Mr. Bernoulli, he left the church with his cat.

Playing with the beautiful golden compass in his hand, Jenkins walked out of the town while thinking about things. As expected, the compass did not respond, and Jenkins did not care. He whistled and called down two birds that passed by his head like hawks.

Wrap the small compass with the painted cloth and tie it to one of the feet, and tie a thin bamboo tube with a note to the other foot.

"Go to the Sage Church and find Miss Befanna."

As he said this, he sent the road to the city, the techniques to prevent being hunted by hunters, the location of Miss Befanna's office and her appearance to the two birds' small heads in the form of [Knowledge Granting].

The two birds were a little dazed. After several seconds, they shook their wings at Jenkins and then spread their wings and flew away.

"Meow~"

Chocolate was not interested in such low-IQ animals. He poked Jenkins' head with his tail, telling him not to look up at the direction where the two birds were going away. It was important to find the treasure quickly.

Jenkins did not do this on a whim. Mr. Bernoulli's aura was fine, but the compass he gave him was very problematic.

Not long ago, after defeating Kamel in the second-hand store in Beldiran City as a believer of lies, Jenkins obtained the alchemy information that had been passed down by the Kamel family for ten thousand years. He did not hand in the information, but planned to keep it as the foundation for the future development of his church.

Of course, he did not just put the information aside. When he had nothing to do, he would take it out to study as a hobby. Although this did not make him an alchemist immediately, it at least made his ability to identify alchemical items a qualitative leap.

Mr. Bernoulli claimed that he made the compass, but the technology used in the compass originated at least before the 15th century. Although it is also possible that this gentleman accidentally inherited the ancient alchemy, Jenkins clearly saw the taboo method of using soul alchemy from the compass.

He himself could not use soul alchemy. The second-hand store owner Kamel who was killed by him had such alchemy ability, but he would never dare to do so. In the world where the true god exists, using the soul as fuel for alchemy is regarded as an unforgivable crime by most churches, even the evil god church. If the compass was really made by Mr. Bernoulli, then this gentleman would probably be taken away soon.

Of course, Jenkins was also worried that his half-baked alchemy knowledge would go wrong, so he did not handle the matter on his own, but reported it to the church. As for the source of basic alchemy knowledge, he pushed it to Alexia.

Alexia did know a little, after all, she had been studying intelligent machines for many years.

Jenkins did not intend to worry about the compass, the church would handle it, he planned to spend an afternoon in the eastern suburbs to try his luck to find the treasure.

There would be no more free time after that. Today is Tuesday, and for the important thing on the weekend, the next few days will be very busy, so he must cherish this last rest time.

B-06-2-4482 [Battle of Treasure Hunters] belongs to the event type extraordinary. Within a certain range, a "treasure" will appear in a certain area. During this period, any gifted person who enters this area will be automatically involved in this event as long as he stays for more than one hour.

The only victory condition of the event is to find the treasure, which may be a numbered item that has never been recorded, or a priceless jewel, or even directly obtain some unique powerful abilities.

But since the danger is "2", it is definitely not a simple search for treasure.

During the participation in the event, monsters that can only be touched and seen by the gifters participating in the event will appear intermittently in this area. These monsters are named "Reflections of Greedy" by the church. As more people participate in the event and the event lasts longer, the frequency, quantity and quality of the monsters will increase.

According to the records of the church, the reflection of the Greedy, whose strength exceeds that of the eighth-level demigod of human beings, has appeared in this event. In fact, the reflection of the demigod level will appear in almost every treasure grabber battle, after all, the treasure is too tempting.

Section 1933 Chapter 1904 Greedy

As for searching for treasure, it is not to let people turn over the soil and grass aimlessly to find treasure chests. [Battle of Treasures] After the event begins, humanoid individuals called "Greedy" by the church will appear in the area.

Individuals will blend in well with the local human settlements, and no one can tell that they are outsiders. These greedy people have clues pointing to the treasure, but each greedy person will ask treasure hunters for rewards in exchange for clues.

At the same time, using force to threaten the greedy people is also ineffective. Although their strength is not very high, only equivalent to human level 5 gifters, they are immune to all mental control, mind manipulation and hypnosis. In addition, the greedy people have the ability to teleport in the area and are not afraid of death.
