Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "Even if it is a steam train, I think I can reach Nolan at this time next week."

　　 "No, things are not that bad yet."

　　 Jenkins shook his head and rejected the proposal. He was unwilling to let Alexia return to this dangerous city again. Even though Alexia was already a demigod, what happened here still threatened her. Moreover, things have not yet reached the most dangerous point.

"Although the sword is terrible, the current sword bearer is far less dangerous than the one thirty years ago. Alexia, you can do your own thing in Luen, don’t have to come back, I will be safe. of."

Chapter 830 Chapter 813 Plague Prevention

　　 There is still some light in the house at No. 13 St. George’s Avenue. Now it is a combination of No. 13 and No. 12, but the house number is still hanging from the original one.

　　 The short lady looked suspiciously at Jenkins’s face, and nodded for a long time;

　　 "Well then, I can help you anytime... Good night, Jenkins."

　　 "Good night, Alexia, good dreams."

　　 Then, only the man and his cat were left in the room.

　　 The chocolate gradually fell asleep, and Jenkins sat for a while before getting up and placing it on the soft cushion aside. He changed into his pajamas and made a glass of ice water. Without turning on the light, he walked up the stairs to the second floor in the dark. Open the side door and come to the renovated outdoor platform.

　　 The night at the end of winter is really cold, and the weather is not very good. Jenkins originally wanted to look at the stars, but now he only sees the black night when he raises his head.

　　 He took a sip from the glass, shaking his whole body from the ice water that slipped into his throat. But this relieved drowsiness very well and made Jenkins feel a lot awake now.

　　 He opened his eyes diligently, using real eyes to observe the city he was facing at the moment, large and small light spots appeared in his sight, and there was no lack of black aura. But only lacking the shape of the sword, Jenkins knew that at present, finding the enemy was the biggest difficulty everyone faced.

　　 The Protoss once promised to help Jenkins with all his strength, and if he still did not find a new divinity before the decisive battle with the Skeleton Sword, then he could only rely on the power of the Protoss. He has no doubts about whether the Protoss can defeat the Skeleton Sword. No matter how powerful the sword is, it will not be the opponent of the Star's favor. But if the opponent cannot be found in time, even if the Protoss solves the sword, the plague and the undead army will still cause permanent damage to this peaceful city.

　　 On Friday morning, the newspaper headlines really reported that the plague might hit Nolan City. But Jenkins thought a little bit differently. The newspaper's rhetoric did not mention the plague thirty years ago, but pointed out that the flu that swept the city since the beginning of winter last year showed a completely different attitude from the past. .

　　 Although its fatality rate is no different from that of a common cold, its infectivity is greatly enhanced. Officials from the Kingdom’s Health and Epidemic Prevention Department came to Nolan City to conduct on-site investigations and cooperated with the hospital and church to conduct an autopsy on the deceased’s body.

　　 finally concluded that after the death of flu patients, the germs in their bodies have begun to change, which is very likely to lead to a deadly plague caused by corpses, so citizens should be prepared for disaster prevention.

　　 "Nolan Daily" and "Rhone River" both used a lot of space to popularize science and disaster prevention methods, but left and right are just washing hands frequently, not drinking raw water, and staying away from dead poultry and human corpses.

　　 At the same time, almost all newspapers reported the "Notice on the current draft of the relevant methods for the management of funeral and interment in Nolan" issued by the city hall urgently. Judging from the paper in which the mayor’s name was signed in the newspaper, the date of signing seems to be yesterday.

　　 This decree requires that from now on, all corpses must undergo strict cremation before they are allowed to be buried. At the same time, in order to prevent the plague, the mortuary should not exceed 36 hours.

　　 This is a very harsh decision, and no comments have been sought beforehand. The abrupt decree represents a severe situation, so that even citizens who don’t know the truth can feel the seriousness and danger of the matter.

　　 Jenkins usually spends half an hour for breakfast on weekdays, but today because he has been reading the newspaper, breakfast actually took nearly an hour. But the food was not wasted because of the cooling off. While Jenkins focused on the news, his cat had sneaked onto the table, effectively preventing the food from being wasted.

　　 Because the plague news suddenly grabbed the front page, the tornado and the gray snow that occurred at noon yesterday could only be squeezed into the back section.

　　 There is nothing to say about the tornado, and the newspapers think it is a natural disaster that humans cannot predict. The reporter who wrote that report spent most of his time talking about the damage caused by the tornado in exaggerated ways, and reported incidents such as "innocent citizens missing", "buildings destroyed", "blowing garbage broke shop windows" and other incidents. , But not accompanied by any live photos.

　　The gray snow has aroused extensive discussion, and the results of the discussion are very consistent-this is a rare natural phenomenon caused by turbid air. The original color of the snow flakes is white, but in the process of forming and falling, it is contaminated with the complex pollutants in the air to form the current appearance.

　　 The three newspapers ordered by Jenkins all criticized the city’s environmental problems, but none of them dared to point out that the number of cases of respiratory and lung diseases admitted to major hospitals in Nolan City is showing a rapid increase year by year.

　　 If the possible plague can be linked to air pollution, then the air problem will be solved. Unfortunately, those people would not allow the newspaper to write such reports.

Two more wanted warrants have been added to the newspaper. One is a murderer who escaped from prison the day before yesterday. It seems that the church has not realized that he is dead. The other is a pencil sketch of a young man who fought with Jenkins yesterday. appearance.

　　 Under the wanted order, the identity of the person and the degree of danger are clearly stated, and even the names of Provence Lucar and Wilkawan are stated.

　　 It's a pity that Jenkins didn't get his hair, otherwise he would be seriously injured even if he was not killed immediately by using the curse of disease.

　　 The weather was gloomy this morning but there was no snow. When I went out, Jenkins saw the newly-posted wanted notice on the street light pole on St. George Street. When he stopped to watch, he met Mr. Goodman, a neighbor who was going to work. The middle-aged man greeted Jenkins with a smile, but put on a mask:

　　 "Mr. William, are you leaving home so early today?"

　　The voice is a little dull and hoarse, I hope he is not infected with the flu.

　　 Normally, when Mr. Goodman left the house, Jenkins always just went out in his pajamas to get milk and newspapers. But today he got up an hour early, so the two met here.

　　 simply complained about the weather problem, and the two talked about the plague warning in the newspaper. Mr. Goodman was very sad, even without anyone reminding him, he immediately thought of the disaster thirty years ago. It was Goodman who was still just a teenager, but he did not forget the tragedy caused by the plague.

Chapter 831 Chapter 814 Store Window

After talking for ten minutes and preparing for work, the two said goodbye. The middle-aged man did not forget to remind Jenkins of his tips on disaster prevention. He seemed to be ten years old because of this morning’s news, and his face was full of sadness, as if his home was on fire. All the belongings.

　　 Jenkins never asked about the investment he talked about last time, but looking at the man's brand-new formal attire, this shows that at least the investment has not failed. Jenkins very much hopes that his neighbors can live a good life. Their family is a typical good person, and the good person should be rewarded.

　　 When he arrived at the old antique shop, he had not even opened the door. He was surprised at Jenkins's early rise, but he was more concerned about whether he had already decided who to invite to the family dinner at the end of the month.

　　 "I wanted to invite Fini, you know she is the little girl in the church."

　　 Daddy's eyes immediately became dangerous.

　　 "But I know that if I do, Mary and Robert will never let me go."

　　 He put his cat on the counter, and the chocolate climbed onto the soft cushion at one end of the counter and lay down on his own, preparing to start another day of wasting cat’s decadent life.

　　 "They know you too much, if they pretend to be stupid, they will be able to tell."

　　 "Yes, so I am troubled now."

　　 took off his coat and hat and hung them up, looking at the shop window sealed with wooden boards, the writer was sad:

　　 "So, what am I going to do?"

　　 Talking about the ruined shop window, the old man's anger came up. According to him, the expensive glass has been used for three years. My father planned to replace it in two years, but he did not expect to encounter such a bad luck.

　　Because someone has witnessed Jenkins throwing jade, it is easy for the church to think of believers in the **** of lies who fight with the skeleton sword bearer.

　　 They found the traces of [the dead body] at the entrance of the alley opposite the antique shop, and then contacted this gem, which was quickly identified, and guessed what happened.

　　 Dad thought that the believers of the **** of lies probably knew what it was, so they didn't want to keep it in their hands. But this also shows that the black-robed man who appeared yesterday shouldn't be the person, otherwise he would never let this thing go by his usual way of collecting tricks.

"This shows that the believers of the **** of lies may not be connected. Those who do their own things alone, and only when the gods issue oracles, will they do some illegal things together. The church believes that [Fabry] There should be more than one of them in the scam, and the divination of this matter has now fallen into unprecedented chaos."

　　 "Then those guys discovered that the antique shop is the field point of the sage church? The living corpse Baoyu was actually thrown here so exactly."

　　 Jenkins asked nervously, actually trying to conceal the guilt of breaking the window of the antique shop.

"It shouldn't be. Witnesses said that the woman and the young man suddenly fought each other. They just happened to meet in the alley opposite the antique shop. I probably had bad luck, and I should go to church to pray more recently... "

　　 The old man murmured, closed the newspaper in his hand, tidyed up his clothes and prepared to start business.

　　 It sounds ridiculous. Although the church knew that before the demigods appeared, someone fought with the sword bearer of the skeleton sword, but could not find any witnesses, because the living people near the battle scene were turned into undead.

　　 Therefore, they took it for granted that the people before and after were all believers of the new god, and they were trying to seize the sword, but they failed. The latter may be the legendary Miss Fabry, while the former does not know his gender and young posture, but his ability is most likely related to stage opera.

　　 There is a certain basis for this belief. The church conducted a detailed search in the alley destroyed by the tornado, and finally found a clue in the small hotel. The hotel is in a half-collapsed state, and the accommodation records have also been destroyed.

　　Unfortunately, a few clues pointed to the suspicious room on the third floor. Jenkins didn't know how the church reasoned, but in the end he thought that the rooms of the whispers were the rooms where the believers of the new **** had hidden.

　　 Some occult materials related to theatrical performance were found in the room, which caused the church to get a very serious wrong conclusion at once.

　　 Jenkins doesn't know what to say anymore.

　　 Now A-12-02-1110 Living Corpse Baoyu is officially contained in the space behind the Gate of Vientiane, but the Church of Death and the End is actively coordinating the secondment issue.

　　 Because of Miss Audrey’s report a few days ago, its specific origins can also be found. And if the real murderer of the murder in the farmland ten years ago can be found, it is very likely that he will follow the vine to find the true identity of the sword bearer.

　　 Although from this point of view, the woman who threw the living corpse Baoyu did a good thing, but the old man still hates her. Until about ten o'clock when the glass factory workers brought the new window glass, the old man was still complaining to Jenkins about it.

　　 Yesterday's tornado caused great damage to this neighborhood. It is not only the old antique shop that needs to replace the window glass. But only the glass in the old antique shop was artificially damaged, which Jenkins can be sure of.

　　According to my father, the cause of the tornado is A-05-1-4906, the hurricane maker. The Skeleton Sword showed more terrifying characteristics. So far, it has shown the ability to revive the dead, spread curses, control the soul, remote energy impact, teleportation, remote transmission, and so on.

　　 This is what Jenkins knows as a powerful weapon. He tried to ask Dad whether this thing has a nemesis, and whether the B-01-2-7401 Light Blade, which defeated it 30 years ago, can still work.

　　 But the answer is no. B-01-2-7401 Light Blade itself has the ability to absorb light and store it. The last time he was swung out, he released all the accumulated light of nearly five hundred years at a time, and barely defeated A-12-1-0044 [Dead Soul's Skeleton Sword]. But now that elemental weapon has only absorbed the light for thirty years, and it is impossible for it to function as it did last time.

　　 So Jenkins put forward the argument that Alexia said last night that "life triumphs over death". Dad didn't immediately comment, but looked at his face suspiciously, and then replied for a long time:

"This view is correct, but the problem is that the weapons made by the world tree are not left in the material world. After the elves disappeared, humans never saw the branches of the world tree again. So unfortunately, Jenkins, we are now The only thing I can do is to find the sword bearer and kill him as much as possible before he becomes stronger."

Chapter 832 Chapter 815

　　Although Baoyu and Jenkins were involved, the father prohibited Jenkins from participating in the investigation. In order to divert his attention, he specifically found two thick books "Advanced Metal Product Identification: Antiques Around Us" and "Teaching You to Use Fire Ceremony Skillfully", and asked Jenkins to hand in his reading notes on Sunday.

　　 But it's Friday now, which means Jenkins has no time to do other things in recent days.

　　 "Have you considered going on vacation recently?"

　　 Dad suddenly asked, he realized that keeping Jenkins away from Nolan for a short time seemed to be good for everyone.

　　 "I want to take a look at the Shire and visit Old Jack by the way. Do you remember the woman whose blood was resurrected from the ancient times? I want to ask Old Jack about the potion."

　　 Dad hesitated when he heard this. Although this incident may still cause trouble for Jenkins, it is at least much less dangerous than A-12-1-0044 [Dead Soul’s Skeleton Sword].

　　 So, he enthusiastically recommended Jenkins to leave next week, and did not forget to ask him to find time to check the nearest train ticket.

　　 "Maybe you can stay in Chardonnay for a few days, and old Jack will like you."

　　 the old man kindly suggested.

　　 But regardless of whether Jenkins is going to leave next week, he still hasn't finished today. Although there were no guests throughout the morning, he had to supervise the workers to reinstall the glass in the window.

　　 After the matter was over, it was already around 11:30. But the streets are still foggy, and they don't appear at noon.

　　 During lunch, Dad and Jenkins talked about the undead. The undead is a very general term. In theory, any monster revived from a corpse can be called an undead. And the real necromancy is not the superficial manipulation of corpses. Necromancy is the science of exploring the mysteries of death.

　　 Of course, the old man is not an expert in this area. In fact, his knowledge about the undead is only higher than Jenkins. But the old man recommended a lot of books to Jenkins for reference. He is now a Level 3 bestower and can enter a deeper position in the secret library.

　　 Probably because of the great event that happened yesterday, and the unusual peace in Nolan today. I didn’t have any trouble working in the old antique shop for a day. Although no business was done today, Jenkins was very happy that everything went well when he went out to deliver the letter for the old man.

　　 got off work with a happy mood, and did not go home immediately after bidding farewell to his father, but took a carriage to a tavern on the outskirts of the city.

　　The tavern is hidden in a very inconspicuous position in the alley, so there are not many guests inside. After pushing the door open, Jenkins saw Professor Burns sitting against the wall at a glance. The professor was now wearing an old-fashioned blue shirt with checkered, and his formal attire was placed on the back of the chair behind him. Judging from the style of the clothes, this is the one he wears only during class. The professor probably came over immediately after class.

　　 In addition to wine glasses on the table in front of him, there are three bottles of condiment bottles commonly found in home kitchens.

　　 "Professor, long time no see!"

　　 Jenkins walked over quickly, said hello and went to the bar to ask for some drinks and food. Of course, you can't forget the hot milk of chocolate, it always likes such things.

　　 "Long time no see, Jenkins."

Professor 　　 greeted Jenkins to sit down, and then motioned him to look at the three seasoning bottles in front of him.

　　 "Refined salt, inferior sugar cubes and flour, which one do you think I should choose?"

　　 "I should choose...huh? Flour?"

　　 Jenkins was taken aback, "Excuse me, what are you going to do?"

　　 "I ordered the steak just now. I heard that in addition to salt or sugar, sprinkling of flour is also a popular way of eating recently."

　　 "Where did you hear about it?"

　　 Jenkins said, pointing to the bottle of salt, the professor nodded, and took the other two bottles back into the brown leather briefcase.

　　 "What my students said seems to be a new way of eating from Saddle County. It's weird, isn't it?"

　　 "It's really weird. Today's young people like to pursue weird things to show their individuality, but they don't realize the light in their souls at all. The focus is not on those strange behaviors at all."

　　 "That's right!"

Professor 　　 applauded opposite Jenkins, then leaned back and asked the waiter to bring their food.

　　 "Speaking of which, professor, why do you bring these condiments yourself?"

　　The chocolate has moved towards the glass of milk.

　　 "There have been some accidents recently."

As he said, he smiled embarrassedly: "I was too careless, a curse is attached to my body. It has temporarily degraded my sense of taste, and now I have to prepare additional condiments to make these foods tasteful. ."

　　 He shook the salt shaker vigorously to let the small particles fall on the steak. Today, the development of the steam industry has also led to the development of other industries. According to Jenkins, the price of salt has been greatly reduced compared to a hundred years ago.

　　 But the refined salt used by the professor is still extremely expensive, which shows that the professor's income is actually not low.

　　 The two met here today for the gathering of Mr. Corpse this month. In January, Jenkins did not attend due to a time conflict, but he did not seem to give up the party, so he will only appear here tonight.

　　 On the way to the abandoned hospital outside the city, the two talked about what happened yesterday. The professor also knew the news of the reappearance of the deadly sword. He was in middle age when the plague was rampant 30 years ago, so he could better understand the terrible situation at that time.

　　 At the same time, the professor also described what happened after Jenkins escaped in the alley for the first time. No one thought that Wilkawan could slip away from so many demigods.

"It's very dangerous. Miss Bevanna thinks that man's level is still very low, so he can do such a thing. And once he reaches a new level with the passage of time, Nolan City will meet To a more terrifying enemy."
