Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 These are not simple things, but as long as they can be completed, there is a high probability that the final dilemma can be solved. Although the arrival of the doomsday is unstoppable, the intensity of the upcoming doomsday depends on whether Jenkins can defeat the differential engine.

　　 This will be the most important and dangerous action after he came into this world, and maybe even the meaning of his coming into this world. He is not worried and not afraid, because he is already prepared.

　　 After returning to his home from the underground, Jenkins and the coachman explained that he is still needed in the near future. The coachman said it’s okay, but it’s still not free.

　　 Then Jenkins took the chocolate and left the basement. Because there was Jenkins's potion configuration workbench in the basement compartment, he often stayed in the basement for a long time, so the ladies at home were not surprised what he was doing below so early.

　　 I went out after breakfast. First, I visited a delegation from Northland. Before Salhi II went to the town hall for a meeting, he discussed the recent situation with him and explained his attitude towards Cheslan.

　　 Then I saw Alexia and told him what happened in the morning.

　　 "What are you going to do?"

　　 asked the short lady sitting on the sofa holding a book.

　　 "We can't rely on us alone, time is too late, the black tower has risen on the third floor, and there are more and more signs of the end. I have to rely on the church for this matter."

　　 "Are you going to confess your identity? All...identities?"

　　 Alexia was a little surprised.

　　 "Of course this cannot be done. The identity of the believer of the lie needs to be left to the end to facilitate the unity of the church and all people. It is not yet exposed. I intend to use the identity of the believer of the lie instead of Jenkins to go to the church for help in person."

　　 Alexia nodded and understood what Jenkins meant:

　　 "For more information on the ritual of the Destroyer, you can't rely on the underground machine alone. The church may be able to help."

"Of course, what Mr. Pisco meant is only to give me some help. I can't just rely on an intelligence source. It may be possible to know that the "Destroyer" is not just an ancient smart calculator that has been sealed... ...Cough cough, one more thing, next time I go underground again, I hope you can go with me."

　　 "I need my help to verify the essence of that machine? You don't trust it?"

　　 "No, I trust it, I just want to say, maybe your next step forward is on that machine. Haven't you been studying this kind of intelligent machine all the time?"

　　 Alexia's eyes softened immediately, she put down the book in her hand and got up from the sofa, approached Jenkins who was standing at the window looking seriously at the smoke outside, and then hugged him from behind. Just when the two were about to kiss each other, the door of the room was pushed open, Dolores walked in happily, then gave a low cry and ran out, covering her face.

　　 Leaving from the mansion where Salhi II stayed, and refused Dolores’ invitation to go to the city hall together, Jenkins and the others parted at the door of the house, and then wrapped his clothes tightly and went into the alley. When he walked out of a narrow alley two blocks away, he had already become another person.

　　 Today is Monday, and the location of the joint meeting of the Twelve Churches has moved to Evergreen Forest. Today's main topic is the handling of the relationship with the false **** church and the preservation of church materials before the end of the day. Originally, Jenkins was going to attend the conference, but because he would close the world tree seeds tomorrow, he excused that he would take a break to adjust his state and face any possible events, so he did not attend the conference.

　　 rode a unicorn and flew directly from the city to the evergreen forest, without concealing his tracks, and landed at the entrance of the forest, which is the narrow part of the valley, calmly.

　　 Seeing the unicorn fall, the benefactor who was guarding there immediately ran to inform. Jenkins deliberately dangled for a while, waited until the first demigod walked out of the forest path, and then walked over with his mount:

　　 "There are some things, I want to talk to you."

　　PS: Subscriptions are getting more and more terrible. Compared with the normal period, there are almost half of them left.

Chapter 1854 Chapter 1825: Information Sharing and Missing Criminal Coins

The first person to appear in front of Jenkins was Mr. Donald Yasen, the "temple left hand" of the Church of the Sage. He was supposed to leave immediately after conveying the Holy See's instructions on the king's soul to the Son of the Holy See. . But because it didn’t take long for Jenkins to say that he would close the World Tree seed, the church believed that this might not only make the [World Tree Seedlings] take shape, but also stimulate [Tree Soul] to awaken, so Mr. Yasen was asked to stay temporarily to confirm the world. Go back after the consequences of closing the tree seeds.

　　Mr. Yasen is not a local. Although he is not very familiar with Nolan, he also knows the iconic unicorn. He coughed and said in a very formal tone:

　　 "Believers of lies, good morning. If I remember correctly, you did not notify us in advance, and you have to negotiate with us today."

　　 "It's not a matter of negotiation. We have found some very important information. After discussion, everyone thinks it is necessary to tell you."

　　 Jenkins also spoke very seriously, and then emphasized again:

　　 "Very important information."

　　 It happened that today the church was meeting in the Evergreen Forest, and everyone who should be present was in the forest. Mr. Yasen realized that the appearance of the lie believer definitely brought big news, and immediately sent his words to the ongoing meeting.

　　The people who could make up their minds were all sitting together at this time, so the efficiency was very high. Jenkins was allowed to enter the forest in the 18th minute after landing, and finally saw representatives of the various churches in front of the clearing under the giant tree.

　　 The empty space was temporarily set up as the main conference hall, and the tree canopy shaded the sun. Simple round tables and benches were enough to keep the meeting going. Seeing the strange man following Mr. Yasen and stepping into the clearing with the unicorn, everyone got up.

　　 Jenkins looked up at the shadow of the saint hanging upside down under the tree, and patted his little beast:

　　 "Go and play next to you."

　　 So it cleverly rubbed the back of Jenkins's hand, and then walked to the forest where the fawns were hiding.

　　 "It seems that I interrupted an important meeting, I hope you don't mind."

　　 "If you have anything, please tell me directly, believers of lies. You have probably learned about the dangerous changes in the world through various means. Now everyone's time is very important. Don't waste time."

　　 Most of the people in the meeting were ordinary people. Hearing the news of the lie believers' arrival, the demigods who stayed behind in the evergreen forest of the church also came over, talking to the old tombkeeper of the Church of the Dead, and they were also Jenkins acquaintances.

　　 "We have heard important news, very important news, this matter needs to be shared with you. At the same time, I also want to exchange some items from you, and also deal with the hammer."

He nodded at the people of the Mechanic Church, and Mr. Greif the Son also nodded in response to him. Regarding the handling of [Thunder God's Fury], the Mechanic Church is very grateful to the believers of the lie for being able to take it out of the hands of the Craftsman Association. Take it back.

"what do you want?"

　　 Ms. Orson of the Travellers Church asked, except for Mr. Yasen who led Jenkins here, she is the closest person to Jenkins.

　　 "This point can be discussed later, in order to show my sincerity, I want to share my information first. The things under our feet..."

　　 He stomped his foot, and the ordinary people present saw it and immediately turned and left from the other direction. This kind of thing is not suitable for them to listen to.

　　 "The thing under our feet is an ancient psychiatric device. It is an auxiliary computing device with thought but no soul created by humans in the ancient era. I hope you can understand what I mean. We call it a ‘differential engine’."

　　 Jenkins would not use names such as "Great Wisdom" to call each other, which would look stupid.

　　 Then, he introduced the simple principle of the machine in detail, and then explained that the other party has drew the power of civilization from countless times of unblocking. Finally talked about the end of the eighteenth century, talked about the "Earth of Steel", talked about the dense fog that enveloped the world, and finally talked about the so-called "Dealer" ritual, that is, the beast of calamity, drawing the power of sin, and pushing Ceremony of the coming of the end.

　　 He said frankly that he hopes that the church can help investigate what the so-called "rebels" are, and that the believers of lies hope to share the next information.

　　 The church was taken aback by the information that the lie believers suddenly threw out, especially his understanding of the machine called the "differential engine", which has gone far beyond the church. The church also agreed to his request. Now they have a common enemy, and the current strength of this enemy has surpassed the sum of the Church of Orthodox God and the believers of lies.

No one knows what the Desperado Ceremony is, but there are traces of the other arrangements of the differential engine, including the spreading gear tentacles underground, the mechanized curse of corpses spread on the ground, and the southern forest fire planned by the tree house. Yes, at least most of the information that is sufficient to prove the believer of lies is true.

　　 Mixed with other signs of the end, the destruction caused by these terrible things has endangered the entire world. Coupled with the facts that may have nothing to do with the difference engine, but the riots only because of the arrival of the end, the ancient ruins revealed from the ground, and the occurrence of various terrible events that are absolutely invisible in the peaceful era, it is enough to explain the end. The arrival is not far away.

　　 will definitely not be ten years from now. There is a high probability within five years. It may happen in three years. It is not totally unacceptable within one year.

　　 Just looking up at the thin gray mist that fills the forest, you can understand what kind of era this is.

　　 The church expressed gratitude to believers who lied for sharing the information, so it didn't mind that he made some conditions. First of all, of course, Jenkins asked for the wrench that is said to be able to repair any machinery. Speaking of which, the wrench belonged to the church twice and was obtained by him.

The church is of course curious about the purpose of the believer of the lie asking for the wrench, but the church of the sage that currently holds the wrench immediately stated that it can give it to the believer of the lie, so Jenkins’s first condition was agreed without any trouble. Up.

It’s just that it’s not that easy to ask for sin coins later. I don’t know if it was instructed by the masters and righteous gods. The Church of Orthodox God not only knows nothing about the true use of sin coins that can be found "easy", but it even has one coin. You can't get the money.

　　 Jenkins once heard his father introduce sin coins. The church thinks they are very filthy things. Although some have been contained in the past years, those sin coins are often consumed as ritual materials.

　　Almost all rituals for calling for tricks can use sin coins to replace living sacrifices that the church cannot use. The church sometimes needs to call tricks and is willing to consume them with sin coins that cannot be destroyed.

　　 In short, Jenkins was surprised to find that the church really couldn't get a single one, and it was not a lie.

Chapter 1855 Chapter 1826: The Origin of the Hammer

Alexia is a guilty coin, but when Jenkins met Alexia just now, he didn’t propose to obtain guilty coin from a short lady, because this would give him the illusion that he was eating soft food. . There are also guilt coins in the old man's private treasury, but Jenkins cannot blatantly ask him for it, and he only has two.

　　 He really didn’t think about it. The church didn’t even have one. This is considered to be one of the few. The almost "omnipotent" image of the Orthodox Church's collection is discounted in Jenkins's eyes.

　　Accepting the fact that there are no criminal coins, Jenkins instead asked for "smart", "evil" and "powerful" containment items, and for insurance, two or two items. But it cannot be a numbered item, because most of the humanoid numbered items know the way to obtain criminal coins, and the use of [profane production] on them may lead to undesirable consequences.

　　 What he asked for were those sealed subspace evil creatures, or powerful evil spirits, or visitors from different spaces. If you don't have a crime coin, you can find a way to make your own crime coin. Jenkins is very open about this.

　　Because they refused to tell the reason for asking for those dangerous creatures, the church maintained a very cautious attitude towards the second requirement. Although he didn't immediately refuse, he didn't seem to want to agree.

Jenkins knew that this request was indeed unreasonable, so he promised the Mechanic Church that as long as the Mechanic Church agrees to his request, and will tell him the origin of "Thor's Wrath" and the origin of "Thor" in the name, the hammer he Then it will be returned to the Mechanical Church, and since then both parties owe nothing to each other.

"We can persuade other churches to satisfy you with the two items you want. Even if they disagree, we can send you directly from other parishes in the name of our church. This is okay; Thor's Wrath and the church's We can also tell you some of the relationship, but it is not very comprehensive; but the last condition, sorry, it is impossible to agree to it anyway."

　　 Mr. Greif the Son said so.

　　 Jenkins thought for a while and agreed. The last two requests are purely to satisfy their own curiosity. They are additional, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t agree. But based on the principle of negotiation, he still fought for it, showing that he valued the last requirement.

　　 Maybe Jenkins's performance misled the people of the Orthodox Church, giving them a feeling that they would never give up unless they reached their goals. So although the last two requirements were agreed to, the church said that it could come up with a gift to compensate for the difference in the price of this transaction.

　　 Even C-type gifts also have high and low values. It is not only the ability and strength of the gifts. Some gifts are difficult to find suitable ones, while other suitable ones often appear. So what items the Mechanic Church will give Jenkins in the end, Jenkins can probably also estimate.

　　 But anyway, it was all in vain, and he didn't have high requirements for such "falling from the sky" items.

　　 The two sapient shelters cannot be taken out now. The Orthodox Church has to discuss and decide which one to choose, but they promise that there will be results within three days, and the believers of lies will come to visit the Evergreen Forest again on Thursday morning.

　　 As for the gift, the Mechanic Church thought it was compensation for the price difference of [Thor's Wrath], so I decided to make it myself. They asked Jenkins to wait, and the gift would be picked up immediately and delivered with the wrench within half an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, Mr. Greif and the demigod Mr. Lucius of the Mechanic Church invited Jenkins to take a walk in the forest, avoid occasions where other people, er, and talk to him about [Thor's Wrath]. .

　　 "We had anticipated that you would be curious about that hammer."

　　 Leaving the open space under the giant tree, Mr. Greif said. Mr. Lucius lags behind the two and does not seem to intend to participate in the conversation. Following the two is just to prevent someone from eavesdropping.

"why would you say so?"

　　 Jenkins touched the Manchiken short-legged cat on his shoulder, so that it does not show hostility to the squirrel, otherwise it will look like another petty cat.

"Your friend gave [Thunder God’s Fury] to the Son of the Sage Church for temporary safekeeping. Three days ago, with the consent of the Sage Church, we conducted a preliminary inspection of it. The result said that although [Thunder God] Wrath] There is a certain degree of deception, but it still retains the characteristics of gifts. In other words, not everyone can use that hammer to raise [Thunder God’s Wrath] and call thunder and lightning. Machinery has a deep origin."

People often come up with a set of very mysterious arguments for choosing users of gifts. In fact, there are no rules to follow. They are just methods to "deify" those gifts. Later everyone accepted this set of arguments, but they are all clear. That's fooling people.

　　 Jenkins didn't feel the particularity of the hammer at the time, just as he used the gift he encountered, he used it casually. But he also thought of another question:

　　 "People from the Gear Craftsmen's Association, but there are two who can use that hammer."

"After all, it is a probabilistic event. Although the probability is very small, they can find two, but it is not impossible. In short, since your people can also use [Thor's Fury], then I think it is normal to be curious about its origin. But It's a very old story, and the church is not sure which part of it is true. Just listen to it as a myth."

　　 There is a fork in the road ahead. Jenkins knows that he will definitely not turn left, because the warehouse on the left is preparing to close the seeds tomorrow and arrange the materials for the ceremony to prevent the spirit of life from impacting.

　　 He paused for a moment to let Mr. Gref choose the direction to go, and the latter really chose to turn right.

　　 "[Thor's Wrath] was first discovered in a very old age. It was probably before the 4th era, and our church was not well-known."

　　Jenkins believes that at that time, the current righteous **** [skillful craftsman] has not achieved righteousness at all. [Creation] clergy and [mechanical] clergy, there is a high probability that they did not appear at all, or were attributed to an older deity.

"According to the legend, the **** of nature and the false **** [the **** of nobility and order] came to the material world to play. The two gods saw the people living on this land in the ancient era, living with slaves and simple handmade wooden instruments. Production, so we guessed together what kind of natural force the mortals will use to help their civilization develop in the future."

Jenkins pursed his mouth in silence. For the first time, he knew that the [God of Nobility and Order] that Miss Yindi believed was such an ancient deity, even in the records of the Orthodox Church, it was enough to appear in myths and legends along with the God of Nature. in.

"The God of Nature believes that it may be water, wind, gravity, or even underground magma. Another great man also put forward many possibilities, even thinking that the power of thunder and lightning is also possible... ...."

　　 The cat on the shoulder felt that his mount was shaking unnaturally. Suspecting that Jenkins had some hidden disease he didn't know about, the cat rubbed his face with his tail and wanted to check Jenkins' physical condition.

"The idea of ​​the **** of nature was later realized. From historical records, people did try those energy sources. But the power of thunder and lightning? I can't imagine how to use this. After all, the wind can drive the fan blades, and the water The power that flows can be used to drive ships forward, and the heat of magma can make water boil. What power does thunder and lightning have that can be used by humans?"

　　 Jenkins asked, a huge doubt in his heart.

"I can't guess what the great means, but the **** of nature guessed it. The vision of the two greats is different from ours. What they see is civilization and time, but we can only see the land under our feet and the shoes The dust and the blades of grass trampled on the soles of shoes.

　　 To commemorate that interesting conversation, the **** of nature took the lightning from the sky and cast this [Thunder God's Fury], and the two gods jointly blessed it. This is the legend about "Thor's Wrath" passed down from generation to generation in the church. "

　　 Mr. Gref ended the story like this, and Jenkins did not speak. The story itself does have a lot of strangeness, the **** of order proposed the power of thunder and lightning, and it also made him care. But the story itself must have a real element. Such weapons are now being kept by the [Church of Creation and Machinery], and there must be inherent reasons.

Judging from recent performance, the Church of Nature has no interest in [Thunder God’s Fury]. The pseudo-god sect that doesn’t know where, that is, Miss Yindi’s sect, has never heard of saying that he has no interest in [Thunder God’s Wrath]. Anger] ownership. Then there is reason to believe that Thor's Wrath belongs to the Mechanical Church, and it is something that its creators agreed.

　　 That is to say, the current righteous **** [handsmanship] and the righteous **** [natural spirit], or the ancient **** of nature, have a deep relationship.

　　Perhaps [Wonderful Craftsman] To achieve the identity of God is to rely on the help of the God of Nature, and thus obtain the ownership of this hammer.

In this era, the priesthood of [Thunderbolt] belongs to the righteous **** [Sovereign of the Storm]. The priesthood of the craftsman seems to have nothing to do with the **** of nature, but the priesthood of the righteous **** is very complicated. If you analyze one by one, you can definitely find something that coincides with nature. Priesthood.

　　 Jenkins's thoughts became messy unconsciously, just a story of doubtful truth, as if he had seen another god, from the ordinary to the path of immortality.

　　 If Jenkins becomes a **** with the help of a sage, then he is bound to be able to inherit a certain power or weapon from the sage. This is probably the path that the righteous **** [skillful craftsman] once walked.

But the one who helped Jenkins was the master [Lord of Flowers], and most of his inherited power came from the World Tree... Actually, thinking about it this way, the path he traveled actually overlaps with the path traveled by the skilled craftsman in the guesswork. . Of course, the premise is that the above guesses are correct.

Chapter 1856 Chapter 1827

　　 The saint son of the mechanical church didn't know how blasphemous the lie believers walking aside were thinking about, otherwise he would definitely start with Jenkins on the spot.

　　 The three people walked in the forest for a while, and Jenkins deliberately pretended to be curious and asked what was being prepared in the staggered area. This question made the two of the mechanical church extremely nervous. The world tree seedlings were trying to awaken, of course, they had to hide the lies from the believers. After all, that was the only savior qualification currently held by the church.

　　 "The Church of the Sage is preparing for the baptism ceremony. It is said that it is going to baptize the big figures of the church."

　　 Mr. Gref said sternly, he was secretly relieved when he saw that the other party looked uninterested, and then he said he was going back. The wrench and the gift were probably ready.

　　 Mr. Gref estimated that the time was about the same. When the three returned to the open space, the tables and chairs used for the meeting had been removed. The two demigods of the Church of the Sages and Miss Strace, another saint son, took the wrench, and the people of the Mechanic Church were holding a small box with the gift inside.

　　 The Mechanic Church has identified the wrenches housed by the Church of the Sages, currently numbered B-10-5-7204 [Mechanical Repairer]. Jenkins swept his eyes and knew that the wrench was okay.

　　 then reached out and took the small box, and opened it in front of everyone. Lying on the velvet lining was a black pen.
