The Master of the Strange Realm

"No, he really doesn't know. But I know...but..."

Ignoring Mr. Gilbert's puzzled expression, Miss Bevanna hesitated.

The key is indeed very dangerous and important, but compared to the Dragon Soul, which is directly related to the savior, the key may really be used as a trading object. But if such a dangerous thing falls into the hands of unknown believers in lies, no one can guarantee whether there will be more serious accidents in the future.

Of course, the Dragon Soul is not as important as the key, but the qualifications of the savior are far more important than the key.

"Do you really know what that key is? Are you sure you want to ask for that key? That key is very dangerous. It's not that I mean to refuse, but for the sake of everyone, please change your request."

Miss Bevanna said.

"Of course we know what it is, and we also know the curse that the holder has to bear. But only items of this level are qualified to be compared with the king soul that symbolizes the power of the human king.

We learn from a dragon that a change of owner of a key will cause the original owner to die within three days. So that key is not requested now, but the owner change occurs at the appropriate time. This time is uncertain, so you have to make a covenant with God that when we need the key, Mr. Oliver cannot refuse. "

"I alone cannot decide this matter. Can you wait for a while?"

"It's understandable, so please contact your Holy See now."

He took out... the pocket watch given by his younger brother. He didn't use it for long before it broke. Only his father and Professor Burns had seen it. And unlike Alexia’s custom-made women’s pocket watch, the one given by her brother John was purchased in a watch store. Although the style is unique, it is not without identical products:

"It's twelve o'clock. I can stay here until three o'clock in the morning. After that, you have to give an answer. I know the time is tight, but we are all in a hurry, aren't we?"

"no problem."

As he spoke, Mr. Gilbert was about to walk out. He was a new demigod and could not compare with Miss Bevanna's strength, so Miss Bevanna was left here to "guard" Mr. Candle. Although he didn't know what his father's key meant, there was no problem in simply passing on the information.

"Before three o'clock, it would have been too boring for us to sit here."

He stood up again, stood behind the chair and pressed the upper edge of the back of the chair:

"How about we do something."

"what do you want to do?"

Miss Bevanna also stood up alertly:

"Don't think that if we are in a cooperative relationship, we can meet all your requirements."

"Ma'am, I just want to sleep. Can you give me a quiet room?"

If the Dragon Soul deal can be concluded, then the transfer of the Dragon Soul will definitely require the presence of Jenkins. Jenkins predicted that someone would go to St. George Street to find him, so he had already left the spiritual magnet at home and asked for a quiet room, just to prevent the church from seeing that something was wrong with his projection state.

After confirming that the door to the room was closed, Jenkins asked the white cat Vanilla to help take care of his body, and then immediately returned to his bedroom on St. George Street.

It was very late and the lights at home had already been turned off. Jenkins tiptoed to the window and looked outside. The church people would definitely not arrive so soon, so of course there was no one outside.

I lay in bed waiting for the bell outside the fence to be rang, but I lay there for half an hour. It was still quiet outside St. George Street, and no sudden carriage broke the tranquility of the neighborhood.

"We started from the church on foot and probably just crossed the river now, but how could you come to me on foot? I wouldn't be surprised even if a demigod flew over. What's going on? Don't you need me to show up?"

He canceled the projection and returned to the church. He opened his eyes and immediately saw two amber objects. When he was startled, he realized that those were his cat's eyes, so he picked up the cat with its head stretched out:

"Are you observing me?"

he asked.

"Meow~"

It closed its eyes and raised its head and let out a melodious cry, not knowing what it wanted to express.

After pushing the door open and walking out of the room, the seven-person scribe team scattered in the corridor, leaning against the wall and dozing with their eyes closed, immediately stood up straight:

"Mr. Candle, would you like some tea?"

"No, why hasn't Williamt come yet?"

He asked pretending to be impatient, and Miss Bevanna, who came to inquire, answered his doubts about why no one was waiting for him after returning home for more than half an hour:

"You probably know about the relationship between Oliver and Jenkins. Dad didn't let us go to Jenkins. He said he didn't want Jenkins to get involved with the key."

Inexplicable sadness appeared in his heart, but Jenkins pretended to be calm and asked:

"Now that you have met Mr. Oliver, can the key be used as a condition of the deal?"

"Dad is still thinking about it. If you feel bored, you can enter the secret library behind the Gate of All Things, which is temporarily open to you."

"Really?"

"But only the first floor is open to you."

The first floor of the library can be entered by Jenkins at level 0. There is no important information in it. But the rest of the time was really boring, so I agreed to go to the library to have a look.

The white cat Vanilla thus gets a treatment that Chocolate cannot, and it can also follow Jenkins into the gate of all things. When entering the library as Jenkins, the cat cannot enter under any circumstances.

It is not that there is no valuable information in the shallow layers of the Secret Library. Jenkins even found information about the metal block that sealed the divinity here. Unfortunately, he could never find it again.

This time he entered the library just to find something to do to kill time, and he didn't expect any unexpected gains. He actually didn't care about his father's reply. The Dragon Soul will be "sent" anyway, all he lacks is an excuse.

If dad agrees, then the transfer of the king's soul will be carried out immediately. If dad doesn't agree, then he can just change his excuse. The only difference is what time he can go home.

Wandering among the bookshelves, the little white cat grabbed his collar with its front paws and looked around. In order to prevent his cat from damaging the collection of books, Jenkins is always vigilant if the cat suddenly escapes.

Unexpectedly, before taking a few steps, Vanilla stretched out her little paw and pointed diagonally forward.

"What did you see?"

he asked, then actually followed the direction the cat pointed. The bookshelf over there is full of knowledge about the [Moon]. Jenkins is very clear about the rituals involved and the records of some special items.

He looked at the cat on his shoulder in confusion:

"You don't really want to eat books, do you?"

The cat was no longer interested in the book in front of him, causing Jenkins to think that it was his imagination.

"What's the meaning?"

He casually pulled out the thinnest thread-bound book in front of him, glanced at the title of "Old Legends: Moon", and then flipped to the middle of the book.

The two pages on the left and right record a strange legend related to the cat that swallowed the moon. The moon-eating civet is a very ancient mythical story that can be found in various cultures, but the details may vary.

The story recorded in this book is different from the mythical stories about moon-eating civets spread around the world. According to the records in this book, the cat that swallowed the moon did not actually digest the original moon. The moon-swallowing civet will intermittently spit out the moon at intervals of two months and thirteen days in 2375, allowing the original moon to appear in the sky of the material world, but it will only last for one night.

But this is just a legend, and this era is not as long as 2745, so there is no way to verify this statement.

At the end of the legend, a slightly crazy and funny ritual is recorded. It is said that using the ritual, there is a chance to summon the disaster that swallows the moon. The ritual is named [Contact the Moon-Swallowing Civet]:

"Sugar and spice,

plus some nice things,

Don’t forget about the mysterious unknown object J.

Cook with the utmost enthusiasm,

When the heat is just right,

Dangerous cats will appear. "

He read out the contents of the ceremony, and then saw a simple ritual matrix further down. Most of these types of rituals were related to worshiping the moon, but this one was too simple, like a random graffiti.

Regarding the content of the ritual, Jenkins thought it was more like a nursery rhyme or a recipe, because it actually mentioned the word "cooking" instead of "synthesize" or "make."

“I’ve heard a lot about rituals that use sugar and spices as ingredients, but what are ‘beautiful things’ and ‘unknown things’?”

He thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead fiercely:

"Oh, I actually believed this and thought about it seriously. I'm so stupid."

As he said this, he stuffed the book back into the bookshelf without seeing the eyes of the cat on his shoulder flicker.

Chapter 1998 Chapter 1968 The Missing King

Jenkins didn't stay behind the Gate of All Things for too long. Soon he got tired of it, so he walked out and wanted to ask his father what his plan was.

But after leaving the Gate of All Things, the person who received him became Miss Strace instead of Miss Bevanna who came in a hurry. Jenkins learned from the holy son of the church that there had been no information from the Holy See whether it would agree.

"Where is that Lady Bevanna?"

He asked curiously, but Miss Strice hesitated to speak. But he couldn't help but Mr. Candle asked again and again, so he reluctantly answered:

"Something happened in the city, and Bevanna went to provide support."

Jenkins would not be surprised no matter what happened in the city now. Out of curiosity, he wanted to find out more details, but Miss Strace was not very willing to reveal more.

According to common sense, this shouldn't be done. The two sides are now in a state of cooperation, and the lie believers have cooperated with the church many times before to solve troubles in the city.

“So, what’s happening now has something to do with our group?”

he guessed.

Strais immediately shook her head:

"At least no evidence related to you has been found so far."

This is the truth.

"So, this matter has something to do with King Hun?"

"No, of course it doesn't matter."

This is also true. In fact, Jenkins is asking too many questions. Now all the king souls are with him. Unless there are actually five of the four king souls, it is absolutely impossible for anything related to the king souls to happen again.

"Since it's not the case, then..."

He touched the cat and rolled his eyes:

"Something to do with Jenkins Willamette?"

Miss Strace smiled awkwardly, and Jenkins knew that he had guessed correctly.

To be precise, it is not related to Jenkins, but to Jenkins' fiancée Dolores. Some time ago, the space-specific area where Nolan frequently appeared had a direct connection to the capital of Hampavo, Loen City.

After learning the news, Salshi II repeatedly asked the church to allow him to return to Loen temporarily through the overlapping space. For safety reasons, the church has not agreed, but recently, for the final negotiation, as part of the exchange of interests, Salshi II compromised in the negotiation content in exchange for the opportunity to use the special area five times at will.

Dolores thought that there was no need to tell Jenkins about such a small matter. The church thought that Jenkins would learn about it from the princess of the North Country, so Jenkins never knew about it.

Today is the first time that Salshi II used the space-specific area to return to Loen. The twelve churches each sent their own people to protect him, and deliberately used rituals to stabilize the space fluctuations to maximize the stability of that space.

This is very effective. The group did not get lost in the narrow space. Salshi II really returned to Loen around 10 o'clock on Monday night, which is about four hours ago.

After a short stay, they returned as planned at about the time when Jenkins entered the Gate of All Things. There is a lot of evidence from the Loen side, including the church team and the royal guards, a group of 42 people all entered the space-specific area near Loen, but the problem is that they did not appear on Nolan's side.

Because they did not know what happened in that space, the church did not send people directly into it, but urgently convened various churches to discuss countermeasures.

Salhi II also knew that there were risks in doing so, so he did not let his heir, Dolores, follow. Now Dolores is attending a church meeting next to the specific area outside the city, accompanied by Alexia.

This matter has nothing to do with the believers of lies, but it may involve Jenkins, so the church did not intend to let Mr. Candle, who was waiting for news in the Sage Church, know about it.

"So, will Jenkins Williamette deal with this matter?"

He asked.

"No, both Father Oliver and Princess Dolores Stuart said that there is no need to disturb Jenkins. Although Jenkins is one of the saviors, he is helpless for this kind of problem."

The father did not want to disturb Jenkins because he thought that Jenkins could not do anything about this kind of thing, so it is better to wait until he is needed to tell him. Dolores thought that Jenkins was too tired recently, and the church could come up with a solution anyway. If someone really needed to enter that space to rescue her father, it would not be too late to ask Jenkins for help.

Since no one would go to St. George Street to disturb Jenkins who was "sleeping", Mr. Candle, as a believer of lies, would naturally go to join in the fun.

He assured Miss Streis that he was just going to take a look and would never leave the "surveillance" of the church. While Miss Streis repeatedly stated that this was not surveillance, Jenkins was ready to go:

"Would you like to ride the unicorn with me?"

He made a sincere invitation and called out his little beast. In the dark night, even if there was light in the room, the little beast with a unicorn on its head still seemed to be emitting a soft white light.

Miss Streis subconsciously held her breath, staring at the unicorn, and after a long time, she used a soft voice to quietly reject his invitation.

Finally, the group took a carriage to the scene of the incident. The closest spatial specificity connection point to the city of Rune in Hampavo was on the hill near the public cemetery in the suburbs of Nolan.

It was foggy tonight, so Jenkins didn't see the thick fog until the carriage stopped. There was a forest nearby, and only by looking down could you see the quiet cemetery at the bottom of the hill.

"Someone is robbing graves there."

He looked back and pointed casually. Then he stopped caring about what was happening behind him, and followed Miss Streis into the makeshift camp.

Because they came by carriage, the church had already received news that the believers of lies were interested in this matter, and arranged a welcoming team early.

Dolores and Alexia were both in the tent, and Jenkins did not take the initiative to greet them. He specifically asked about the current situation and the clues found so far. The church probably thought that Mr. Candle was trustworthy at least for now, so he told him some things that Miss Streis did not mention.

The team that set out from Nolan, including Salshi II, had a total of 41 people, but when they left Loen, the head count was 42. Loen confirmed that no locals left with them, which means that the cause of the accident was most likely due to the extra thing that was unknown whether it was a human or not.
