The Master of the Strange Realm

"You mean...oh, I understand."

They still knocked politely, but after receiving no response, they tried to push the door open. Even though the first two targets were inexplicable, they were still ready to fight head-on.

Therefore, when the green evil spirit rushed out from behind the door, Jenkins immediately slashed at it with his sword.

"Yes! This is the kind of monster I encountered back then! Let me tell you, how could there not be any of them to fight!"

Miss Elf shouted after him.

But Jenkins had no time to respond to her words. The sword touched the evil spirit but actually passed through its body. Then the evil spirit's arms wrapped around Jenkins' neck like cloth and hung him up directly.

"what's the situation?"

He temporarily threw away his sword and used his hands to resist, but this time he succeeded. But before Jenkins could shake off the spirit from her neck, Miss Sylph drew her bow and shot off the evil spirit's arm.

When Jenkins fell back to the ground, the evil spirit wailed and retreated into the room without any light.

"Be careful~"

Jenkins said softly to his companion, but received no response. Turning around, he actually saw Miss Elf strangling her own neck with her hands, a ferocious expression on her face. That expression could easily be interpreted as "angry".

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

Jenkins suspected that she was possessed by an evil spirit, so he quickly grabbed her hand and tried to pry it away, but the elf threw her hand away with a backhand:

"It's none of your business."

She yelled at Jenkins and then at herself:

"You loser, if it weren't for you, why would I be trapped here, my parents, my friends, and her..."

"Um?"

Jenkins was stunned for a moment, then realized that now was not the time to think about that. He blinked his eyes and found that there was nothing wrong with Miss Siluf's spirit. Her behavior at this time was not that she was possessed by an evil spirit, but more like she was angry with herself.

"After jealousy and arrogance, this time it's anger? Wait, if it's what I thought, I seem to know what's going on this time."

While thinking about it, he walked around behind Miss Elf, and then knocked her unconscious very carefully.

"It's no problem now."

He dragged Miss Elf into the house, and then put his backpack and the two remaining metal cocoons aside. Then I looked at this "divination room". The room was not large, but because there were curtains and black gauze hanging everywhere, I couldn't see every corner of the room at a glance.

The special aura of the strange environment and the power of the diffuse shadow hindered Jenkins from finding the enemy. So he simply closed his eyes and stood there quietly with his hands down.

"That's it now~"

He punched forward suddenly, and the green vitality light instantly lit up the entire room. The evil spirit behind the curtain that tried to attack Jenkins was punched through the spirit body, but due to the special characteristics of the spirit body, it quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"He is indeed furious."

Jenkins retracted his fist and immediately felt that his emotions were abnormal. Nameless anger spread from the bottom of his heart, but compared to the elf lady who could not control her emotions, this anger had a smaller impact on him:

“But sometimes it’s good to be angry.”

Thinking in his mind, it was natural for him to be completely filled with rage. The anger merged with the flame, and the flames came out of the body, once again making Jenkins look like a "Fire Spirit".

"How dare you waste my time."

The flames splashed in all directions, and because they were contaminated with blue soul fire that could burn souls in the second strange realm, they also became extremely lethal to souls.

The human figure made of flames jerked forward, and the evil spirit hiding in the darkness was caught in his hands. He pinched the evil spirit's head and forced him to look at him:

"Do you also have a tragic past?"

he asked, his voice echoing slightly in the room. But he got no response, and the evil spirit completely lost his mind. Judging from the traces on the spirit body, he must have suffered great torture during his lifetime, but these stories may never be known to other people.

"Then just keep going and may you rest in peace."

Golden light danced between the fingers, and as the flame disappeared, the power of divine magic enveloped the evil spirit. In the golden light, it disappeared little by little. Even if the alchemical items given by the Death Church are gone, Jenkins can purify his soul on his own. After all, the first treacherous realm is the territory of the devil, and it is too difficult to take the soul from there.

Miss Elf continued to fall asleep, and when she woke up from a very disturbing dream, Jenkins had already carried her to the mezzanine between the first and second floors.

"It turns out that this is reality now."

She complained as she jumped off Jenkins' back.

"What did you dream about?"

"Nothing? Oh, how did I fall into coma? I only remember the anger I felt when I was separated just now."

Chapter 2140 Chapter 2109 The Mirror of Gluttony

"Yes, you were indeed unconscious. You accidentally knocked your head...well, I'm not good at lying. I knocked you unconscious."

Although Jenkins said this, the elf didn't care.

The mezzanine corridor between the first and second floors has a very low ceiling. Even if Jenkins steps on his toes, the top of his head may touch the top.

There is only one room at the end of the corridor, and the map indicates that this is the secret room where the castle lord hides his collection. Originally, to enter here, you have to get a key divided into three parts, and the three key components are hidden in different locations on the first, second and third floors. After assembling the keys, you have to solve the jigsaw puzzle on the wall, and step on five different locations of the floor tiles according to the prompts in the oil painting on the wall within a limited time after the puzzle is completed.

But because of years of disrepair, the wall is so fragile that it can be pushed down by Jenkins, so the process of coming here is not troublesome at all.

"We are here to get the mirror, so don't touch anything except the mirror."

Jenkins warned before opening the door, and the elf nodded:

"Then I might as well wait for you at the door."

After what happened just now, Miss Sylph also realized that she might have a chance to be a burden in certain circumstances.

"No, no, no, if I get the mirror but you disappear, wouldn't that be more troublesome? And don't worry, you are my companion, we should go on together."

As he said that, he pushed open the door, and it was still pitch black. In fact, there were no lights in any corridor or room in the castle, but there was light from the bonfire outside the window, so the place with windows was not dark. And obviously, this secret room had no windows.

The room was small, with metal display racks on all four walls, and various items were placed on the racks. Some had become garbage due to the passage of time, but more remained shiny, as if they had just been scrubbed the last second.

Although there was no mirror at first glance, it was soon discovered that there was indeed a mirror hidden behind the curtain.

Neither Jenkins nor Miss Elf dared to enter the secret room immediately, but waited for a few seconds before stepping into it.

"Is there no danger?"

He looked around:

"Are those puzzles just now dangerous?"

"But that's not dangerous either."

The elf said, and then asked:

"Maybe the danger lies in the mirror itself, so we don't need to lift the cloth in front of the mirror, just take it and go."

"Good idea."

Jenkins nodded and stretched out his hand to wrap the mirror with the curtain. But right in front of him, a gust of wind appeared in the windless room. When the wind blew open the curtain in front of the mirror, the extremely sweet smell in the wind made his stomach and the elf lady's stomach "gurgle" at the same time.

Jenkins did not turn back to ask the elf lady if she was hungry, because another person appeared in the mirror facing him.

"Are you hungry?"

This time it was a serious human chef. The scene in the mirror seemed to be the restaurant of the castle. He sat in the main seat of the restaurant. The table in front of him was full of silver and gold plates. The candlelight reflected the bright food.

"You must be hungry."

The man in the mirror smiled.

The smell seemed to be transmitted to the small secret room through the mirror. Jenkins and Miss Sylph's stomachs gurgled again. Jenkins even heard the latter swallowing saliva in an unladylike manner.

"Fortunately my cat didn't follow."

He couldn't help but say while feeling very hungry, then reached into the mirror and pulled the smiling man out:

"Interesting, isn't it?"

He asked, pulling the other's dress collar, and then, ignoring the other's struggle and the black smoke coming out of his hand, took out the sword and pointed it at his forehead:

"You only have one chance, we are going to take a mirror, is that mirror this one?"

Perhaps because he saw that Jenkins really didn't mind killing him, compared to the three monsters just now, this time the man was very sensible and told the truth:

"This is what you are looking for, the mirror of gluttony, I am the spirit in the mirror, if you kill me the mirror will be destroyed... In fact, I am not dangerous, I just want to persuade you to eat some food... Well, please don't threaten me, if you eat my food, you have to give me your shadow. This is actually nothing, but I can manipulate you through the shadow..."

So, after jealousy, arrogance and rage, Jenkins and the elf met gluttony again. They sent the mirror outside the castle first, handed it to the old butler, and then continued the rest of the adventure.

Even if we count the sword that can hurt the old butler, there are only three things left for the next journey. The simplest one is the gem on the tower. Because of the advance warning of the drinking skeleton, there is no danger in the process of getting the gem, except for being attacked by some strange-looking mosquitoes.

The gem was also sent to the outside of the castle and handed over to the old butler to prove that the task has been completed. The butler is still rubbing his hands there, but his expression is a little strange. Miss Elf assured Jenkins that the butler is definitely problematic and is likely to jump out to stop the two at the end.

"This is almost 100%."

She said.

There was a small episode during the adventure. Although the matter of the gluttonous mirror was temporarily over, Jenkins and Miss Sylph were indeed hungry. Jenkins was okay. Even if he couldn't bask in the sun for photosynthesis now, he would be full after taking a few breaths. But Miss Elf is not a tree. She is still just a mortal. She needs to eat when she is hungry.

So, when she pulled Jenkins' sleeve and blushed and said that she was really hungry, Jenkins realized that he had ignored the needs of his companions.

"It's very simple, wait a minute."

He opened his backpack again, and after a long while, he found a burnt yellow leaf:

"This is for you."

"This looks familiar."

Miss Elf said, putting the leaf in her mouth and chewing it a few times, while Jenkins took the opportunity to introduce:

"This is a creation of the Church of the God of Nature in my time. One leaf is enough to provide the energy needed for action throughout the day. And there are many flavors to choose from. For example, your piece is orange flavored. Although I don't need to eat, they I still prepared some for me, after all, leaves don’t take up much space.”

"This is actually a creation of the elves."

Miss Siluf said to Jenkins while chewing slowly like a camel chewing grass:

"This is the army ration for the elves when they march. In my time, this recipe was still a secret. I didn't expect that humans have mastered it now. However, none of the ones I have eaten taste as good as this one."

The last target monster is located on the fourth floor of the castle. It is a guest room. There is still a do not disturb card hanging on the door, but the writing is blurry. I don't know how many years ago it was hung.

Chapter 2141 Chapter 2110 Greed and Moonlight

Jenkins knocked on the door first, but after receiving no response, he pushed the door open and entered. Like most unoccupied rooms, this place is cold and damp. The ground is yellow-brown, I don't know if it's dust or other dirty things.

He stopped Miss Siluv and then motioned her to look at the bed on the left side of the room. It was a four-poster bed with curtains. Although it looked very old, at least it was still in a usable condition.

The elf couldn't see the aura, but Jenkins could see that there was someone on the bed.

"Hello."

He tried to ask:

"I want to kill you, is that okay?"

Still not getting a response, he looked at Miss Silufu and she didn't understand what was going on. So Jenkins swung his sword and chopped the guy on the bed into two pieces easily. The bed itself was not harmed because of concerns about the additional impact of damaging the furniture.

"So simple?"

Jenkins murmured in surprise, asking the elf to stand still and not move. He carefully came to the bedside, lifted the curtain and quilt, and saw the body that he had split into two pieces.

However, the corpse turned out to be that of an acquaintance, the young human swordsman he had met when he was choosing a helper. In addition to the swordsman's body, there was also the body of a middle-aged woman dressed in an old-fashioned way lying next to him. She died from a dagger piercing her heart while the dagger was in the swordsman's hand.

"Oops, that's what it turns out to be..."

A sense of lethargy came over me, thinking that the last young swordsman who accepted this task finally fell into a permanent sleep in this room after assassinating the old woman.

But Jenkins was stronger than the swordsman from who knows which era, so he was able to turn around and leave the bed:

"Let's go!"

He said to Miss Siluf, who reached out and took his hand, trying to drag him out of the room. But as soon as their hands touched, Miss Elf also felt sleepiness welling up in her heart:

"Oops!"

She said the same, but used her last strength to throw Jenkins toward the door before falling asleep. Jenkins was distracted by sleepiness, so he flew out without any resistance. After hitting the door frame hard, his head immediately bulged:

"oh!"

He bounced back to the ground due to the violent impact and rolled twice on the carpet at the door of the room. Because of the pain, his consciousness briefly became clearer. But at this moment, my whole body was sore and weak. Although my consciousness was awake, my body could not resist the sleepiness. Except for his soul, every part of him wanted to sleep, and the control of his body by his consciousness had obviously reached its limit.

In a hurry, he held the leaf that the World Tree consciousness gave him before leaving in his mouth. The cool feeling spread from his mouth to his whole body, and he finally regained some strength.

He slammed the ground hard, rushed out of the door, and then hit his head heavily on the wall across the corridor again. After waiting for a while, he stood up and used a hook and rope to pull out the sleeping elf inside the door. Although the other party's clothes were scratched, fortunately, Jenkins repaired them before she woke up.
