The Master of the Strange Realm

The whale's mouth slowly closed, and the sword in Jenkins' hand had already been slashed forward. The swirling sword light cut through the black clouds and completely cut the whale into pieces. But at the same time, more whales appeared in the clouds. They didn't care about the group of people in the clouds, but moved in the clouds according to their trajectories.

The process of forming these mechanical whales was clearly seen by Jenkins. They did not come from the ground, but were born in this black cloud. Just like the Children of the Mist were born from the gray fog, the black cloud eventually gave birth to deadly monsters. This was maliciously spawned by the Difference Engine, each of which had a replica of a prototype steam engine as its energy core, splattering the ground with ashes that would cover civilization.

These cruising whales must have appeared or are appearing in the skies around the world. If yesterday was just the beginning of the disaster, then from now on, the disaster has already begun.

"I will fuse the steam engine on the last level of the tower. Savior, I challenge you."

The whale just now has been completely destroyed by Jenkins, and the sound of the difference engine now comes from the depths of the black cloud:

"Tonight at midnight, the ninth floor of the tower will rise. At that time, my core will enter the ninth floor of the tower. You can enter the tower and destroy me before my fusion is completed. This is a game, you can Choose to ignore it, but if I am faster, the end will come when I appear again. If you choose to join the game, you may be able to stop me in advance.

Savior, this is a fair duel of fate. Since you can't find me and I can't kill you, let's just use this to decide the outcome. "

Deliberately saying that he planned to fuse the steam engine prototype was actually to give Jenkins a small hope and force him to enter the tower, otherwise Jenkins would most likely not take the risk. Even though he knew it was a trap, the opponent was definitely not a beast of disaster at the moment. In other words, it was most likely true that the final sublimation would be completed through the fusion of the prototype steam engine.

When it completes its transformation, with its current control over disaster, it can indeed use the power of disaster to truly bring about the end of the world at the moment of sublimation.

So Jenkins had to go, he couldn't help but go. As for the Difference Engine, after seeing the power of the savior and the appearance of the God of Lies that was completely inconsistent with the rules, it believed that under normal circumstances, the probability of failure in its battle with the savior was very high.

So this final challenge was set up. It was a challenge for both parties, but it was just more beneficial to the difference engine. It is forcing Jenkins into the most favorable situation for it. The calculated futures are various, but as long as you choose the right path, the result will always lead to a direction that is beneficial to you. This is the advantage of computational divination.

If Jenkins didn't go, he could only wait for the Difference Engine to completely evolve into the Disaster Beast, and then gamble on the probability of defeating the Disaster Beast with a drop of divinity. But even if they win, the doomsday that has happened since then cannot be reversed.

This is a bit like the savior encountered in the last story of Black Town. He was more successful than Jenkins and sealed the beast of disaster before it was born. But he is a typical example of solving the beast of disaster but not the arrival of the doomsday. Since the Lord of Time went to great lengths to send Jenkins to the past, of course he must also learn some lessons, otherwise the journey in the last story will really be It's meaningless.

The sound of the differential engine has disappeared, and the mechanical whales are swimming around a group of people, spreading the terrible ashes of burned fuel to the ground according to the established trajectory.

The black clouds that had been dispersed by the previous battle filled the gap again. Only the candle in Jenkins' hand, which exuded warm yellow light, could briefly make the black clouds appear.

He took the candle and led the group of people out of the clouds. Those mechanical whales could be destroyed, but they would regenerate quickly, so it was pointless to destroy them again and again, so the group did not stay any longer.

Chapter 2067 Chapter 2036 Unfinished Things

After returning to the church, Jenkins and Princess Sophia switched identities again. Before he could do anything, Alexia came over:

"You want to enter that tower?"

"Did you hear the noise in the clouds?"

During the conversation just now, the difference machine was only spoken to a group of people inside the black cloud. With such a high distance and the weird cloud obstruction, theoretically speaking, even Alexia could not hear every word. dialogue.

"People from the Music Church heard it, and Hathaway told me the news... Are you going to enter that tower?"

"Is there any other way?"

Jenkins sighed, his expression still calm:

"We are all forced into a corner. As long as it is underground, I can't catch it. Even if the church has a way to go deep underground, the Difference Machine will definitely escape faster than we can chase it. And as long as it does not advance to the beast of disaster, it will There is absolutely nothing it can do against me. It cannot defeat me as the savior if it does not dare to face me directly on the ground.”

What's more important is that neither side can wait. If we wait any longer, the end will really come. For Jenkins, everything he does is to prevent the doomsday, and for the Difference Engine, the arrival of the doomsday means that the world will have a disaster beast. If it does not advance, then there are ways to create even weirder ones. thing.

Therefore, before Jenkins acted, the difference machine would use this method to force the two sides to start a decisive battle. Neither of them can wait any longer, so before the end really comes, Jenkins has to make peace with it.

"But you are now...nine..."

"It's okay, isn't there still time?"

It's eight o'clock in the morning, 16 hours until midnight. The Uncrowned King will definitely be fine today, now only fate is left.

But Jenkins believes that fate is on his side, not because of inexplicable self-confidence, but because of the decisive time chosen by the Difference Engine. It's Sunday after midnight, which is August 1866 in the universal calendar, the last week of the "Moon of Hermits and Thunder". The following day is the first anniversary of Jenkins' arrival in this world.

The decisive battle took place on this day, which itself was full of destiny. Either way, this will determine everything.

Alexia looked at Jenkins and didn't speak for a long time. No matter how confident she was in Jenkins, she could not accept the fact that Jenkins would enter the Black Tower within 24 hours.

She also knew that this was what she had to do. Reason told her that this was the right choice, but her emotions wanted to stop him anyway.

Alexia didn't want to comment on the contradiction between her rationality and sensibility, and Jenkins didn't let her continue to struggle. Instead, he hugged her gently in the corridor:

"It's okay. Didn't we expect this day a long time ago?"

The two hugged each other until they heard footsteps on the other side of the corridor.

Breakfast is required before the meeting, and even if Jenkins has no appetite, he still has to take care of his cat.

Regarding the final test he was about to face, Jenkins also admitted that he was indeed very nervous. But after talking to Alexia, the tension was obviously weakened.

While eating, I was still thinking about when I would go to the church to ask for gifts. In the end, it was decided to do this after Miss Fabry announced her withdrawal from the competition for the savior, which was justifiable.

There is still a drop of divinity, and the Difference Machine doesn't know that he can use any gift. These are Jenkins' two current trump cards. The gift is used to pass the first nine deceptions, and the divinity is used to defeat the Difference Engine in the final deception. This is Jenkins' rough plan, but he can't make a more detailed plan. After all, he still doesn't know anything about the strange situation.

If it had a week, the church could at least use the map provided by Miss Magic to find information related to the content of the mysterious realm in the area where the mysterious realm originally existed. It's a pity that the Difference Engine is unwilling to wait. Of course, it may be that it has noticed that the church is deciphering the secrets of the tower bit by bit, so it has set the time for tomorrow.

He looked at Chocolate, who was eating fruit on the long dining table with his head down, thinking that since it was absolutely impossible to bring Chocolate into the tower, he must find someone to help take care of it.

"In this case, should I prepare a suicide note in advance? Although I have confidence in myself, I must also anticipate the worst results in advance. Therefore, I must use a suicide note to distribute property and find someone to take care of chocolate in the future... ....I also want to write that if I die, then Hathaway and the others can choose another marriage partner, not me..."

He lowered his head and picked up the spoon and took a sip:

"I already knew that I might die in the final battle, but I still provoked so many girls. Is this my fault?"

He was worrying about gains and losses in his heart, and then he had to admit that he was still nervous, and there was indeed panic in his heart.

If the decisive battle happened suddenly, then he would definitely face it with all his strength and would have no time to think about so many messy things. But now it is a certain time, as if the death row prisoner has been notified in advance of the execution time. This is the most tortured thing.

“So we must finish everything today.

Write a suicide note and find an owner for the chocolate;

taking Robert and Mary to the church;

As agreed, the whole family takes a family photo together;

Ask for gifts and take as many as you can with you;

Meet and say at least a word to every friend you meet... Fortunately I have very few friends;

Explain the kingdom’s affairs to Jessica;

Let Bryony help look after the Flower Girls Guild, she's the perfect fit for this;

Give all knowledge to Alexia;

Say 'I love you' to all of them. "

He realized that it was as if he had never said this before, so he blamed himself for being careless. When he raised his head, he saw Chocolate looking at him worriedly. He knew in his heart that this humane cat had noticed something, so he smiled and touched its little head, and the cat let out an aggrieved "meow~" Voice.

Miss Bevanna was called away halfway through breakfast, as expected because of what happened in the sky at dawn. After the group returned, Miss Fabry locked herself in the room without saying a word (actually it was a private meeting with Anastasia), so the "invitation" sent by the Difference Machine to the savior was the demigods of the church. Tell others on the ground.

Now the news has spread almost throughout the entire church, and it can even be said that Evergreen Forest and the Holy See already know about it. Now that there are only two savior candidates left, one of them will definitely enter the metal tower, and the church also knows that this is what must be done.

Chapter 2068 Chapter 2037 The Only Two People Left

Different from Jenkins' "simple" idea, the church's idea is to let Miss Fabry and Jenkins enter the metal tower together:

"What is very valuable is that the competition for the savior in our era is not bloody at all, and the atmosphere is even very harmonious. The goal of you and Miss Fabry is to save the world, so why not face the challenge together? The person who finally killed the difference machine is the real savior. Let fate decide, let you decide, let the difference machine decide."

If it were someone else, the church would still worry that they would have an internal conflict in the tower and fall down without even seeing the difference machine. But Jenkins and Miss Fabry, on the surface, are people who respect the contract very much, so the church has such an idea.

In theory, this idea is quite good, but in fact, Jenkins must not agree, otherwise the final request of the uncrowned king cannot be achieved. He told Miss Befanna this with regret. Miss Befanna was stunned for a moment before she understood:

"So you have been ready to take advantage of this opportunity... Well, Jenkins, you do think longer than everyone else."

"But I want to ensure that after Miss Fabry voluntarily gives up the competition for the savior, the news that I have become the savior will spread throughout the world within a few hours, preferably with my photo and appearance."

"That's no problem, but are you confident that you can defeat Miss Fabry?"

"No problem, we have come this far, what else can be the problem?"

Miss Befanna nodded and said nothing more. A long time ago, she and her father confirmed with Miss Audrey that Jenkins was a candidate for the savior, and the most important candidate for the savior. In a year, watching him progress again and again, he has come to this point.

She knew that the "investment" of the fortune teller Audrey had paid off, and she knew that her choice to support Jenkins was the right one.

However, when it really came to the last step, watching this young man who seemed to be pushed to the front by fate and forced to face a decisive battle with almost no chance of winning, she couldn't help but lament her fate in her heart...

"Don't worry about spreading your identity as a savior throughout the world, the church will take care of it. In addition, regarding... the specific time to enter the Metal Black Tower, the church is still discussing it, and is also preparing weapons, props and potions for you or Miss Fabry... In fact, if possible, I really don't want you or Miss Fabry to enter the tower. This is obviously a trap."

The last sentence should not have been said, even if everyone knew this fact, it should not be said in front of Jenkins:

"Jenkins, I know that even if no one forces you, you will force yourself. Then, there is actually not much we can do for you. Is there anything you need the church to help you with? We can help you realize any wish."

Jenkins shook his head and turned to leave. The negotiation about the savior was about to begin:

"Miss Befanna, I don't want much."

It was obviously nine o'clock in the morning, but it was still as dark as midnight outside. Ashes were floating in the air, and even if people took the initiative to clean the streets, they could not prevent the white ash from covering the streets and roofs.

This was a scene that no one had ever seen, not to mention that it was happening in every corner of the world. The brightest spot in the dark Nolan was in the eastern mine, where the raging fire had not stopped.

The burning of the fire made the sky in the distance bright, but it could not dispel the dark clouds above. Standing at the window of the church, you can see that the sky in the east is a little red, which is caused by those flames.

This morning, news came from the Vatican that the inexplicably burning fires not only existed in Cheslan and Nolan, but also in other areas of the material world, and even near the great ice cap in the north.

Fortunately, the erosion of these flames was not as serious as the fire in Cheslan. Considering the current situation, the flames are not the most dangerous. As long as the black clouds and ashes covering the sky continue until the autumn harvest, causing this year's grain harvest to fail, it will be enough to make the next winter the most dangerous winter.

The monsters in the fog and the whales in the clouds don't need to do anything. The human slaughter is enough to turn this winter into a grave for most people.

At nine o'clock, the second round of negotiations officially began. In the past night when almost no one slept, the people who stayed in the negotiation field of the Gate of All Things had reached a consensus on many treaties.

Although it is still a long way to go before the final document is written, efficient cooperation is a very good start.

Almost all the high-level officials of the church knew about the challenge of the ninth-floor tower and the difference machine to the savior, so few people had a good face, and everyone looked worried.

The false god church knew nothing about this, and the only one who knew about it, the music church, did not dare to leak this information. Princess Sophia, who had consulted Jenkins in advance, stood up and spoke, and the first sentence she said was to expose this matter:

"I think everyone here has the right to know the very important thing that just happened."

The purpose is to get the gifts in the hands of the false god group. Although these false god believers are not as rich as the true god church, they will also have one or two good things in their hands. For example, the magic lady's pendant can be used in almost any ritual, and it also has the function of automatic protection.

Princess Sophia looked at Pope Ponteff IV of the Sage Church who was responsible for presiding over the negotiations. The old man looked unusually tired. Seeing "Miss Fabry" looking at him, she tilted her head and said a few words to the people around her. Soon, the church's holy child, Miss Streis, stood up.

In the presence of the Son, it is generally assumed that the Son is the leader of those who give gifts to the Church. Currently, the Church of the Sage has two Sons in Nolan. It is not appropriate for Jenkins to answer this question, so Miss Strace can only say:

"Miss Fabry, do you really think it's appropriate to announce this?"

"At least let everyone be prepared, no matter what the final result is."

Princess Sophia spoke her lines with superb acting skills, and the silver-haired girl sitting in the upper row of the "audience seat" showed a pleased expression.

This time Brienne and Julia also came, and they sat together with the silver dragon, who took care of them. Behind them are Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute. Jessica is now beside Queen Isabella. Of course, they cannot sit at the table, so they are arranged by Jenkins to temporarily protect Brienne and Julia.

As for the little fairy Vinette in the book, she has been very excited since she entered the Sage Church, and she became even more excited after entering the Gate of All Things:

“I’ve seen all three books now!”

The goblin said this to Brienne, but of course Brienne didn't know what it meant.

"If you say so, then fine."

Miss Strice nodded. She did not discuss with other Orthodox churches whether to make it public. I think the church had already thought that something like this would happen.

So Miss Strice and the demigod from the Church of Death briefly introduced what happened around dawn today. The focus is of course on the giant metal whale swimming in the black clouds, and the conversation between Miss Fabry riding a unicorn and the difference engine is mentioned at the end.

After the two people finished speaking, no one stood up to speak again, and the low conversation made people feel upset. Miss Strace gestured to "Miss Fabry" to say something, but the latter looked at her innocently, as if expecting her to break the silence.

"So, judging from the current situation, we must decide on the final savior candidate as soon as possible and prepare for him to enter the nine-story metal tower to defeat the Difference Engine."

She didn't give people time to discuss, and simply talked about the legend of the savior - even though most people already knew it, and then announced the next topic:

"In the eighteenth century, fate sent us nine savior qualifications, and now a total of seven have been known to the church. Five of them... died in yesterday's heroic battle, and the remaining two They are all here, that is, Jenkins Redemptor Willamette, the son of the sage, and Honest Loyle Fabry, a follower of the God of Lies. ·Loyal·Fabry).”

The middle name was given by Princess Sophia according to the way Jenkins made up the pseudonym when the church came to inquire yesterday. It didn't sound strange.

"Although most people know the main purpose of this negotiation, it needs to be read out again: We must select the most suitable savior to lead mankind to survive in the foreseeable disasters and lead our Civilization is waiting for the beginning of the nineteenth century. There are only two candidates left."

She motioned to Jenkins and Miss Fabry to stand up:

"These are the two of you. Do you need me to introduce them?"

Seeing no one said anything, Miss Strice put down the document in her hand:

"Okay then, let's start now and start choosing who is the savior of human civilization and can lead us to a new future."

Negotiations about a savior were certainly not a debate, much less a debate between Jenkins and "Miss Fabry" taking turns delivering speeches and then being voted into office.

Originally, the church thought that there would be at least six lie believers, so it planned to let the lie believers themselves cut off a few places by making concessions on other terms, and then the remaining people would have one-on-one negotiations with Jenkins, that is, do Final statement.

A presentation is not a speech, what they need to do is explain their plans for the future, and that is enough.

But now there is only one lie believer left, which means there is no need for any complicated plan. All that is required is that Jenkins and Miss Fabry respectively state how they want to solve the disaster in front of them to prove who is the real savior. By.
