The Master of the Strange Realm

Jenkins asked, holding Dolores's hand. The group had moved to the basement. Stuart's royal guards, the guards specially sent by Fidictry, and the church's team were heavily guarded at the basement door.

"Steam bomb."

Dolores said, looking at the ritual on the ground used to summon the coachman:

"Isn't the teacher back yet?"

"You wait for her here, I'll go up and take a look at the situation."

He handed all the two ice chess pieces that could be taken out of the North Country to Dolores, then said a few words to the people at the door, and was allowed to leave.

After touching the cat on his shoulder, Jenkins walked out of the door and saw that the pool that was originally located between the entrance of the mansion and the entrance of the courtyard had been torn apart, and even spread to the surrounding floor tiles and grass.

More than 30 policemen armed with short guns were on guard at the entrance of the courtyard. On the street further away, carriages from the police department had blocked the intersection.

Jenkins stopped at the door and saw a man wearing a dark gray coat on a hot summer morning being pinned down by three burly police officers in the cloak shop across the street.

As expected, the attack had nothing to do with the Giver. The man who was successfully arrested also admitted that he had no organization behind it and that this was just an attack that he personally planned and implemented.

As for the reason for the attack, it was very simple. About 13 years ago, a low-intensity contact war broke out between the Kingdom of Fidicli and the Kingdom of Hampavo on the border of the northern mountains.

Although the intensity was low, it still caused casualties. The man's younger brother died in that border battle. Although the incident soon ended with the reconciliation between the two countries, the dead will not be resurrected, and the lost people will not be allowed to come back even if they receive war pensions.

Some people are able to accept the death of a loved one, but others cannot. An unacceptable thing that has been buried in the heart for many years can easily burst into unimaginable emotions and drive some unimaginable actions.

Like throwing steam bombs at the mansions of foreign kings who are visiting their country.

This was big enough news to spread around the world in one day. Fortunately, the steam bomb caused no casualties except destroying the viewing fountain in the courtyard and breaking most of the glass windows on the front of the mansion.

Jenkins returned to the basement after confirming that there would be no follow-up. Dolores and the other two princesses could also come out, but Alexia still did not come back.

The considerate Dolores directed the servants to bring chairs and tables, and prepared snacks for the cat, so that the two of them could wait slowly.

It was already close to noon when the carriage carried Alexia back to the basement. Jenkins was lying on the table and yawning, thinking about what he should do if he encountered an accident tomorrow. Chocolat pawed at the empty plate, as if hoping that the plate could conjure food out of thin air.

The black mist appeared first, and then the sound of the carriage stopping appeared in the black mist.

Jenkins grabbed the cat and stood up to greet her. After Alexia jumped out of the carriage, the driver took off his hat and saluted Jenkins before leaving.

"Why did you come back? I thought something happened."

He hugged Alexia, and when he turned around, he glanced at the silver plate on the table that could be used as a mirror, and then explained what happened underground.

The [A4-type arithmetic auxiliary external machine] did not defect, nor did it sell Jenkins and Alexia to the Difference Engine. It really worked diligently underground to help with calculations and divination.

It calculated a lot of things in this short week, and Alexia stayed for a few more hours after getting the information in order to obtain the algorithm used by the other party to calculate these results.

The short lady responded enthusiastically to Jenkins' hug and said this time:

"First of all, its calculations finally confirmed that the metal tower really only has nine floors, which is consistent with our past ideas. Based on the dates of the previous rises of the towers, it tried to deduce the time when the subsequent towers appeared. . The week after the last time, it had some results, which were compared with those of the towers that were raised this week, and it was found that the error in its calculation results was very small and very reliable. "

"So when will the 7th, 8th, and 9th floor towers appear?"

"The error will be greater the farther back in time, the seventh layer will appear after this weekend, the eighth layer will be around 3 next week, and the ninth layer is hard to say. The machine told me that the ninth layer should be the entire reverse The core of the destiny ritual core is suitable for exposing the ninth layer to the ground. It is related to the plan of the difference machine itself. This is impossible to speculate. "

Alexia said, and Jenkins nodded:

"In other words, starting from next Wednesday, every day may be the day of the final battle?"

"Yes."

He took a breath and left the basement while talking to the short lady:

"Also, the deduction of the Fate Defying Ritual has made great progress. Last time you told me that one of the Windsors you brought out from the deception mentioned that the possible Difference Engine was also Collect human brain and brain stem specimens, but this information is very useful for the mystery, so the [A4 Arithmetic Auxiliary External Machine] also said that there is more than 70% chance that the fate-defying ritual will be related to the mystery. "

Chapter 1959 Chapter 1930 The only limit to the savior’s ability

"Is it related to the mysterious situation? How did you calculate such a precise probability?"

Calculative divination is very different from ordinary divination. The former requires information as a basis and is a mixture of science and metaphysics. The latter does not require information and directly draws conclusions, which is a rather metaphysical method.

Any divination by the machine that helped Jenkins should be based on facts, so Jenkins wanted to know the reason for the conclusion.

"Part of it is the information we provided about the ritual of the Rebel, and the other part is its understanding of the Difference Engine. I also told about the battle between God and the Difference Engine yesterday. Therefore, the possibility of involving the mystery has never been revealed. 40% increased to 70%.”

"Why?"

"First, God will not enter the treacherous realm. Although there is no evidence to prove this, everyone has believed so since ancient times."

Jenkins nodded, as if there was indeed such a tacit understanding.

"Second, the database of the [A4 Type Arithmetic Auxiliary External Machine] records a large amount of the history of the Difference Engine's research on the mysterious environment. After it was created, although it did not obtain the data of the Difference Engine, it did possess part of the opponent machine. A vague list of information. Some of the records show that the Difference Engine has been studying the uncanny realm for a long time, and it seems to regard the uncanny realm as a means of sublimation."

"We all know now that this is actually true. For AB-type humanoids, entering the material world from the treacherous realm is indeed a process of sublimation. This is a necessary process for the second path to becoming a god. But it is only In this way, does it mean that the ritual of the Defiant One contains the uncanny realm?”

"The deception is the only area that can limit the savior's abilities. This is the point."

Alexia said very seriously.

"Restrict...the savior's abilities?"

"If the savior is not a magical figure like you, but an ordinary human being, what do you think is the most reliable way for them to defeat their enemies?"

Alexia asked, and Jenkins suddenly realized:

"Of course it is an ability system with the ability of the savior as the core. The mad poet was like this many years ago. After all, this is the biggest characteristic that distinguishes the savior from mortals, and it is also the strongest means given to the savior by the world. If I were not like this Specially, I will also build an ability system with the savior ability as the core, instead of like now... I can do a little bit of everything."

"Yes, so no matter who the savior's identity ultimately belongs to, it is very important to limit the savior's ability. But the savior's ability has great priority..."

Seeing the doubt on Jenkins' face, Alexia knew that he had never studied this at all. She complained softly:

"You should also read more books, or at least let the Sage Church find you more detailed information about the legend of the Savior... Well, I know you have studied it, but you have not seen similar details. Salvation The savior ability is not only unique, but also more powerful than the ordinary era at the end of the era. But more importantly, at the end of the era, the savior ability has a strong suppression effect on any extraordinary and mysterious people."

Now Jenkins understood that the mystery was part of the rules of the world, and the savior was also part of the rules of the world. The difference between the two is that there is no need for a savior. At worst, the material world will fall into an absolute catastrophe, and civilization will restart and everything will start from scratch. But the "sin cycle system" formed by the uncanny realm is the basis for the existence and maintenance of the world. Although without the uncanny realm, the gods naturally have other ways to deal with sins, but obviously no one will easily destroy this ancient and perfect system at present. order.

Therefore, the priority of the deception is higher than that of the savior's ability. The effect of the deception's restriction that the ability can only be used once is also effective on the savior's ability.

"Under the suppression of the strange situation, the active effect of the savior's ability can only be used once, and the passive effect such as [Stage of Destiny] is suppressed. You can understand this yourself."

Alexia continued to add.

"So I have to be prepared to enter the treacherous realm? The final battle will be in the treacherous realm?"

"So you must be vigilant and never enter a strange situation. Now that you know where the 'stage' set by the other party is, you must find every way to avoid it instead of taking the initiative to meet it... Why did the fountain in the courtyard disappear? "

Alexia then discovered what happened while she was away.

Alexia and Dolores still have to go to the city hall to meet Salsi II, while Jenkins is going to the Church of the Sage to make final preparations for tomorrow.

At noon, I ate at the church with Chocolate and took time to chat with Feeney. In the afternoon, because Bishop Parrod went to attend the joint meeting, Jenkins, who was still worried about tomorrow's affairs, was too embarrassed to disturb Miss Bevanna, who was very busy recently, so he planned to talk to Jessica.

But unexpectedly, at the Windsor mansion, Jessica was taking a nap on the sofa with a blanket, Miss J was handling tedious documents at the table, and Miss Windsor told Jenkins that Jessica had been exhausted recently.

"Do you have something to do with her? If it's important, then wake her up."

"No, it's nothing."

Jenkins then turned to leave.

There were no bad guys around today, no weird things happening around, or even anything that required Jenkins to do it himself. He originally wanted to go home and spend all the time at home until tomorrow morning, but then he thought about the man who dropped the bomb in the morning, and finally decided to go and see him.

The prisoner was kept at Carfax Yard, under close police guard twenty-four hours a day. He will definitely be sentenced to death, this is a 100% thing, but before that, he must be prevented from committing suicide or escaping.

Jenkins exchanged his identity for twenty minutes of prison visitation time, but before that, he unexpectedly saw a familiar aura wandering outside the police station.

So he left temporarily and blocked Mr. Black Cat in a nearby alley with the identity of Mr. Candle.

"Oh, it's Mr. Candle."

Mr. Black Cat was a little embarrassed when his friends found him walking around suspiciously outside the police station. He scratched his nose, said hello to Jenkins and wanted to leave, but was immediately stopped again:

"You want to go to the police station, right? What's the matter? I might be able to help you."

Mr. Black Cat's first reaction was to refuse, but he couldn't say the words. Seeing him like this, Jenkins knew that he had guessed correctly:

"Jenkins Willamt will enter the police station later. His identity is enough for him to meet most of the people inside. You should know that I have some friendship with him. If you want to meet anyone, I can contact you." Did he say...or did you actually want to kidnap someone? "

"Of course not. He made a mistake himself and should be punished..."

Mr. Black Cat sighed:

"I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing just after returning to Nolan. Well, Mr. Candle, I need someone to take me into the police station and see the man who threw the steam bomb this morning...Look at your expression, You also know this. That is my neighbor. We have been neighbors for 20 years. His father took good care of me when I was a child. They are two brothers who have been my friends since childhood...

He did such a thing, and I also know the whole story. I don't want to save him, but I pity him and at least want to see him and help him take his last words out. I know that the police will not allow relatives to visit.

Mr. Hood went to see you yesterday, and I should have followed him. The reason I didn't go to see you was because I received the message and knew he was going to do something stupid... but I didn't stop him in the end. "

Mr. Black Cat did not lie, so Jenkins agreed to his request and he could help.

"So how can I repay you? I haven't repaid you for Tuesday's life-saving grace."

Mr. Black Cat said a little frustrated.

"Why are you like Mr. Hood? Don't talk about this kind of thing between friends... But if you really want to repay, tell me Mr. Hood's plan. I always feel that this Sir will do something big."

"Mr. Hood? Yes, he is planning something, but it will not be dangerous. He really wants to repay you, for that arm and for the friendship between us."

Mr. Candle and the white cat Vanilla then disappear, and then Jenkins and the black and white cat Chocolate appear. After successfully meeting Mr. Black Cat, we entered the police station again with him.

Because of Jenkins' identity cover, the police did not verify Mr. Black Cat's identity. The two of them saw the man who launched the attack in the morning through the iron fence. Jenkins asked a few questions and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the man's behavior and motives, and that there was no possibility of being mentally suggestive and then impulsively attacking, so he gave the time to Black. Mr. Cat.

Mr. Black Cat and the man talked for more than ten minutes. Both of them were calm, but Mr. Black Cat's hands were clenched tightly during this period. It's not about being nervous, it's about controlling the urge to hit the other person.

After the twenty-minute interview, Mr. Black Cat followed Jenkins out of the police station. After taking one last look here, he boarded the carriage with him.

"What Mr. Candle wants to know is about Mr. Hood. Just tell me directly. He trusts me."

"Okay, actually, Mr. Hood didn't plan anything illegal, so it's okay to tell you. That's the thing. He thinks that he can't repay Mr. Candle by helping believers in lies to win over other people, so he plans to do other things. Because I know that Mr. Candle wants to deal with the xiejiao organization [Gear Craftsmen Guild], and then I learned from a friend of a friend that there is a very powerful gift that can directly affect the gifter who uses mechanical abilities, so I am currently trying to find a way to get that thing. "

"A gift?"

Jenkins thought for a moment. He hadn't heard anything recently. Mr. Hood is charitable and kind-hearted, so he has many friends, but this does not mean that he will definitely get the real news.

Chapter 1960 Chapter 1931 Important Day

Regarding Mr. Hood's search for the gift, Jenkins thought that Mr. Hood might have met a liar or heard exaggerated rumors, so he didn't take it to heart:

"Please advise Mr. Hood, I...Mr. Candle actually doesn't care about repayment. I heard him say that your friend Mr. Hood is a very honorable person? Then there is no need to repay him immediately. You will still be friends for many years, and there will always be a chance to help Mr. Candle."

Mr. Black Cat also had this idea, so he was not particularly anxious to repay Mr. Candle for saving his life. But Mr. Black Cat also believes that there is a high probability that he will not be able to persuade Mr. Hood. He has known Mr. Hood for many years and knows his character quite well.

If it weren't for the face, in order to recover the "dignity" that was lost when he was kidnapped and thrown into a coffin and then rescued by his friends, he would not have risked chasing Pompey, the previous user of the Skeleton Sword. This incident is enough to show Mr. Hood's persistence.

In short, Jenkins only regarded this incident as a small episode in life, and did not think that Mr. Hood would be in danger because of it. He quickly forgot about it and concentrated on preparing for tomorrow's big move.

Once a person concentrates, time will pass very quickly. The last second seemed to be talking with Mr. Black Cat in the carriage, and the next second it was already Sunday morning.

Jenkins stood in front of the window with a teacup, looking at the dark street. The sun rises very early in the summer, and now there is still no trace of the sun, which means that it is not even four o'clock now, but he can't sleep.

Today's events revolve around two purposes, "divinity" and "throne". The achievement of any one thing is of great significance to the future, especially the matter of divinity, which is the most important trump card in the final battle, so it must not fail.

Thinking of this, Jenkins looked at the stars behind the mist. Following the call to the Star Spirit, he came to the Star Realm again.

This place seemed to be eternal. No matter when Jenkins came, he would always see the surging sea of ​​stars and the Star Spirit waiting for him.

"Good morning, God of Lies."

She greeted Jenkins according to the time of the material world.

"Good morning. It's like this. The four king souls will probably all belong to me today. I want to ask again about the matter of the 'Uncrowned King'. In fact, I have always been worried about this. Uncrowned King, what does the so-called 'Uncrowned' mean?"

"You will know it naturally when the time comes."

Lakul chuckled and said:

"There is no need to worry about the identity of the savior. The fate is already quite clear. All the saviors of this era will belong to one person. What you have to worry about is the upcoming catastrophe, which is full of unknowns and possibilities."

She comforted Jenkins. Seeing that Jenkins was still frowning and thinking, she raised her left hand that was not holding the book and gently stroked it in the space. A blue transparent teacup similar to the color of her body appeared.

The cup floated towards Jenkins. After Jenkins caught it, he saw the same translucent light blue liquid inside.

"A specialty of the star world, called 'star marrow' by humans, can calm the mood."

Lakul said.

This drink is definitely not that simple. After Jenkins drank it all, he even felt that the spirit in his body was increasing, but his mood was really much better.

"Okay, I understand. Now I have found the time anomaly zone, and the flame and hammer head for forging the four king souls will soon be obtained. Sorry, I hope you can be there when forging the king soul to prevent some unexpected situations from happening."

The star spirits have emphasized that they are a neutral race and will not participate in any events that affect the historical process of the material world. But in the face of Jenkins' request, Lakul nodded without hesitation:
