Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "Apart from being frightened, I have nothing else. Unfortunately, the attic was almost blown to pieces, and most of the information was not left intact. The value of resolving this incident is not as high as we expected."

　　 "I heard about it, what happened in the end?"

　　 Hathaway gave up her position and let Sigrid sit by the bed. She took the half of the apple and walked to Britney, tilted her head and whispered something in her ear. The blonde girl covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It is indeed the Gear Craftsmen's Association. We dug up the bodies of the missing persons under the explosion apartment, but all the bodies have no heads. This incident was characterized as those cultists collecting human brains. According to the disappearance The characteristics of the people are related to the machinery manufacturing industry. The church believes that they are performing certain rituals or collecting materials for the production of evil mechanical creations. This can also explain the characteristics of the mysterious, why it is not killing people, but has Selective screening of arrivals... I originally wanted to release the murdered family of three personally, but now it seems to be unnecessary. If the ceremony is ruined, their souls will be released."

　　 He took Hathaway's already cut apple slice and put it in front of the cat, sniffed the chocolate, and then stretched his head to take the apple slice from Jenkins's hand.

"The church immediately channeled on the spot, and reluctantly asked, what they collected was the brain and brainstem. This was requested by the underground machine, and the lock was also provided by it. The gear craftsman would only help in the execution. The three executors don’t know exactly what this is going to do. But a chief priest of the Gear Craftsman Society speculated that perhaps the manufacture of intelligent metal machinery requires certain parts of human beings as materials."

　　 Hearing this, Sigrid immediately showed a disgusting expression.

　　 In addition to these messages, the church has other important gains. The drawing of the mechanical arm that Jenkins saw and remembered completely was only an unimportant part. The important part was the residual traces of the mechanical door frame after the explosion that the three people were about to use when they escaped.

　　 Even if the explosion erases most of the clues, the chaos of space cannot be erased by ordinary explosions. The Travelers Church is good at tracking the traces of spatial movement. Based on the special spatial fluctuations remaining on the scene and the subsequent recovery of the door frame torn by Jenkins, the Travelers Church stated that it is completely to track the other end of the door frame that was once connected. feasible.

　　 This will provide the most effective clues for continuing to follow the Gear Craftsmen Association. The church was worried that the other end of the door frame would learn the news, and left one step earlier, so it immediately launched operations after the explosion.

　　 Jenkins did not continue to participate in the operation because he was an "injured person". He was forced to return to the church for a physical examination. After the examination, it was confirmed that he did not have any injuries. The church only allowed him to move at will after he needed to take a bath and change his clothes.

　　 When the girls at home and Sigrid came to see Jenkins, the next step had already begun. Jenkins had no reason to join the action midway, so he stayed in the church and waited for the latest news.

　　 Hathaway and Sigrid are both gifters, knowing that things like this are not actually the most dangerous situation. But Britney is just an ordinary person, and she is very worried about what happened to Jenkins today.

　　 In the past, I also knew that Jenkins was facing danger all the time. He knew that contacting mysterious and extraordinary people could encounter accidents all the time. But the steam bomb (officially) exploded next to Jenkins and even destroyed a building, which was beyond her imagination.

　　 Brian did not persuade Jenkins to stay away from such a dangerous thing, but only vaguely expressed her concern. Jenkins then comforted her with a hug, which made the other girl in the room and the cat feel weird.

　　 Jenkins did not faint after the explosion, but was buried under the collapsed house, and it took some effort to get out by himself. Therefore, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon to arrive at the church for the inspection.

　　 Seeing that the next step of the incident does not require participation by himself, he stayed in the church and prepared to participate in the last meeting held here in the afternoon. Sigrid saw that Jenkins had nothing to do and left, and Hathaway and Britney also left together.

　　 It was Queen Isabella who heard about Jenkins' "injury" from someplace, and asked Miss Windsor to visit Jenkins with her greetings and gifts.

　　Miss Windsor was also a little nervous, but seeing that Jenkins still had the energy to play with his cat, she barely felt relieved.

　　 "Speaking of which, tonight, are you without any guards by your side?"

　　 Jenkins asked before Miss Windsor left.

　　 "Huh? How could it happen? My guard is always by my side."

　　 "No, I mean Miss Magic and Miss Silver Flute."

　　 Jenkins said, Miss Windsor nodded hesitantly:

　　 "Yes, they said they were going to meet with their friends, so they asked me for a time off...Are there any problems?"

　　 is actually because of Mr. Hood’s party.

　　 "Well, since they are not by your side, you will stay at the Sage Church for the time being tonight. I also have something to do. When I'm done, I will send you back to your residence and leave when those two come back."

　　Miss Windsor nodded, and still asked Jenkins in a hesitant tone:

　　 "Although it is indeed dangerous recently, our plan has reached the final stage... but is it really necessary? I am not underestimating the danger, but you deliberately proposed to do so, and I am a little confused."

　　 Her doubts are right. Jenkins is not worried that Queen Isabel will murder Miss Windsor, he is worried about the cultists. Now the ice soul of the four souls is with Dolores. Not only is Alexia beside her, but the church also sends three of them to protect the royal family of Stuart and prevent the tragedy like Takov the proud. The fully organized squad guards the Stuart family at all times.

　　 But Miss Windsor, the host of the Dark Soul, besides Jenkins's two friends, there are only ordinary guards. According to Jenkins' experience, even if everyone has a gun, ordinary people will not be opponents of cultists.

　　 He doesn't know if the tree house has a way to detect the whereabouts of the dark soul that has not yet been conceived, but he is not willing to take any risks.

　　 Hearing Miss Windsor’s inquiry like this, Jenkins just hesitated for less than a second before deciding to tell her the facts, which might lead to unexpected consequences if she kept it from her:

"It's really necessary to do this. Now you have something very important. Everyone wants this thing, and the cultists want it, so before I think of a way to take it out, you'd better always Both can guarantee the protection of gifted people around. The two ladies you hired are very good, I believe them."

　　PS: Seek everything at the end of the month.

Chapter 1881 Chapter 1852 Each Marriage (Part I)

　　 "What is that? Do you want it too?"

　　 Listening to Jenkins saying this, Miss Windsor became interested. She tilted her head slightly to look at Jenkins, the corners of her mouth curled up, her long golden hair flowing in her ears.

"Yes, I want it too. That's...I won't mention the name. Although you have been involved, don't understand too much, just know that it is important. That thing is now in your place. In his heart."

　　 "In my heart?"

　　Miss Windsor nodded, then stretched out her hand to press her heart. Jenkins' eyes followed her hand subconsciously, and immediately moved away when he saw the movement that made him blush, pretending to check his cat.

"Yes, in your heart. It is not the position of the heart, but... it is related to the soul. This thing, now I can't take it out, according to my speculation, before I am called the queen, To take it out."

　　 He didn't mention that the Dark Soul needs to be awakened, because he is unwilling to let Miss Windsor experience any accident that is so painful that it can stimulate the King's Soul to awaken. He has to do it himself, and he already has a general idea.

　　 "Is that so?"

　　Miss Windsor still did not put her hand down, even if there was no one in this remote corridor, this action was a bit too bold. Jenkins pretended not to see anything, tilted his head and looked at the cat standing on the windowsill, so he didn't see Miss Windsor's smirk:

　　 "Okay, I see, I will stay in the church tonight. I have always wanted to talk to Bishop Parrod, but I have no chance."

　　 "I'll arrange it. Today is Saturday, the bishop should be fine."

　　 Jenkins said, and then took out a silver pendant from his pocket, the main part of which was in the style of an open book. Whether it is a pendant or a chain part, the pendant is made of silver. It has been blessed by Jenkins, and it can be regarded as "Holy Silver". Moreover, he engraved his real name on the back of the pendant, blending it with the miniature ceremonial matrix engraved on the back. People who don't know Chinese characters can't see that this is the name.

　　 This pendant uses the ritual "sacred prayer" to deal with. With Jenkins's blessing and real name, it can maximize the carrier's ability to "shield evil":

　　 "You carry this with you at any time, it has little effect, but at least it can ensure that you will not be harmed by evil spirits or a small amount of curses."

　　 He handed the pendant to Miss Windsor, and Miss Windsor casually took it and hung it around her neck, and then smiled and said to Jenkins:

　　 "I heard Princess Dolores tell the story of that set of ruby ​​jewelry, and thought you would never give jewelry to ladies casually after that."

　　 "This is for your safety, not a joke. Take the pendant well and don't take it off even if it is taking a bath."

　　 Jenkins said seriously, and then asked:

　　 "How did Dolores tell you this?"

　　 "I saw her maid Miss Minnevik wearing a beautiful ruby ​​hairpin that day."

　　 The ruby ​​provided by his father Robert, the craftsman actually made two sets of jewelry. One set was given to Julia who accompanied Jenkins to the family gathering, and the other set was hidden in his room in the church with the B-11-05-9421 [Upside-down Blessing Bracelet·Love] to prevent myself for a while Head fever and do inappropriate things.

　　 Miss Windsor mentioned it, Jenkins thought of the jewelry and the bracelet. He would not let anyone know the existence of these things. After all, there was only one set of jewelry and bracelets, but he faced more than one lady.

　　 "This is my sin."

　　 He whispered confession in his heart.

　　 After having dinner at the church, it was time to go to Mr. Hood’s party.

　　 At this time, it has been a full two months since the last party. A lot of time happened during this period, and Nolan was no longer the peaceful Nolan.

　　 Just as Mr. Hood said, after this gathering, it is really difficult to say when the next gathering will be held, so Jenkins cherishes such an opportunity.

　　 Because accidents happen frequently in the city, and the church has arranged many patrol teams at night. In order to prevent a group of people from being involved in some weird accidents, Mr. Hood chose to gather in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

　　 The city’s citizen cemetery is also divided into many parks. Depending on the location and scenery, citizens will spend varying amounts of gold to house the dead bodies or ashes of their loved ones. The meeting place was in the park where Mr. White Birch was buried. As usual, Jenkins and Mr. Hood were the first to arrive.

　　Under the dim moonlight, Mr. Hood stood alone among the misty tombstones in the familiar black robe. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the ordinary tombstone in front of him, and the swaying shadow stretched out on the grass behind him. When Jenkins approached, he saw Mr. Birch's real name written on the tombstone.

　　 "Good evening, Mr. Candle."

　　 Mr. Hood didn't turn his head, he guessed who arrived early.

　　 "Good evening, Mr. Hood."

　　 Jenkins looked at the little tombstone:

　　 "Speaking of which, do you know that Birchwood's mother, the old lady Wood, is actually Chesland's spy?"

"Spy? No, I don’t know much. I don’t know much about the reality of Mr. Birchwood, but after that, I met Mrs. Wood and gave her some money... Come out, that old lady is actually a spy."

　　 "Yes, that was a long time ago, and Mr. Shiraki seems to have no idea about it. If Mr. Shiraki can survive to the present, things will be very interesting..."

　　 At this point, the two sighed at the same time and looked at the tombstone together. After being silent for a while, Mr. Hood said:

　　 "In fact, I have always been worried that the people around me will die, especially at this time, anyone may suddenly go away."

　　 "At least you are married. Even if it is really unfortunate that you have an accident, someone will arrange the funeral for you."

　　 Jenkins comforted, feeling this was very unlucky, so he changed the subject:

　　 "Speaking of which, among us, you should be the only one married, right?"

"No, Mr. Black Cat is also married. His wife is also a gifter, but the two have a conflict, and the lady went down to Shire. But the two did not divorce because of this. This is just a very common quarrel between husband and wife. Compound; Mr. White Cat was married. This is what I heard from Mr. Black Cat, but Mr. White Cat’s wife passed away more than ten years ago. It was not an accident, but a disease, a very difficult brain disease, you know. Yes, even the best physician of the Nature Church would find this disease tricky. Mr. White Cat has been single since then."

Chapter 1882 Chapter 1853: Their Marriage (Part 2) (plus more)

　　 After talking about the marital status of his two friends, Mr. Hood couldn't help but shook his head, not knowing what emotion he wanted to express. He looked sadly at Mr. Birchwood’s tombstone, as if he wanted to get a cigarette from his pocket, but finally resisted:

"You also know the true identity of Mr. Magic. Although she claims to be the widow of Mr. Howard, she has never been married. I have known her a long time ago and claiming to be a widow, but to prevent something when opening a detective agency. Trouble, she always protects herself like this. I am not familiar with Mr. Yindi, but I heard Miss Magic said that her husband had passed away in an accident a long time ago. As for Bailing..."

　　 "Unmarried."

　　 Jenkins said.

　　 Mr. Hood raised his eyelids and glanced at him unexpectedly, then nodded:

"Yes, but I ran into her by accident on the black market a few days ago. She told me that she is now considered to be engaged, and she has discussed the marriage time with her fiance. Speaking of, Mr. Candle, I still don’t know if you are married. But it doesn’t look like you are married, a married man, it’s not like you."

　　 "Yes, I'm not married yet."

　　 He admitted without shyness.

　　 "Look, I said last time that there is a clear difference between married men and unmarried men."

　　 Mr. Black Cat and Mr. White Cat came together. Mr. White Cat was introduced by Mr. Black Cat to join the party. The two are very good friends.

"Why do you talk about such topics in the cemetery? However, from the perspective of conversation, although Mr. Candle is very young, he should have reached the age of marriage. Didn't you meet the girl you like? Oh, Mr. Candle, now Ladies, but appearance and family background are very important. I think you should have an advantage."

　　 Mr. Black Cat said jokingly, Jenkins shook his head:

"Actually, the marriage partner has been found, but... I accidentally made the problem very complicated. Although the basic idea is now clear, there are still many problems in the future. Getting married is really not a trivial matter. ."

　　 At this point, the three married men nodded in agreement.

　　 "Why do you talk about marriage in the cemetery in the middle of the night?"

　　 Miss Bailing Hathaway also appeared in the cemetery, she joked with a chuckle.

　　 Mr. Hood greeted her to come over, said what he had said to Jenkins again, and then said with a smile:

　　 "When you get married in the future, you must invite us to the wedding banquet. We all know that you are a noble lady, and it will be very lively then."

　　 "I will definitely invite you."

　　 Hathaway smiled and nodded, and then she swept over the idle cat on Mr. Candle's shoulder, and saw that the moonlight did not happen to shine on it.

　　Miss Magic and Miss Yindi were the last to arrive. After all the seven people arrived, they moved to the small woods outside the cemetery for a party, leaving a peaceful night to the long-sleeping Mr. Birch.

　　 The gathering of seven people seems to be too many. But the gathering of Mr. Corpse attended by Jenkins was more crowded, so he didn't feel uncomfortable with it.

　　 When the party started, it was still Mr. Hood who spoke first. On behalf of everyone, he welcomed Mr. Black Cat back to Nolan from Turin in the east, and then expressed his gratification that everyone was able to appear safely two months after the last gathering.

　　 The arrival of the end of the epoch and the imminent catastrophe are now something that almost all the benefactors know. People who were born and active in this era have to face all of this, and they all face the danger of dying at any time. So Mr. Hood’s feelings made everyone feel deeply.

　　 After this party, not only is the time undetermined next time, but even people may not be able to get together. Mr. Hood's initial emotion was because of this incident.

　　 The two-month blank period of the party allowed everyone to accumulate a lot of information. In order to get news from others, and for friends to show up at the next gathering, all seven people came up with what they thought was the most important news.

　　 Of course, for Jenkins, there is no news that he does not know. He is now considered a seven-level gift by the church, and the church hardly conceals anything from him. He knew most of the news that Mr. Hood and others knew.

Only Miss Magic’s news about the black metal tower gave him a little surprise. Without knowing the "Desperate" ritual, Miss Magic and her friends actually inferred that the tower was a The core part of a large ceremony. Although they couldn't just rely on the tower to analyze the content of the ceremony, they actually said that the ceremony might be related to disasters.

　　 This gave Jenkins a new idea. Although the Orthodox Church is very strong, it may not be as good as the false **** believers who specialize in it in some research fields. Therefore, in addition to the church and [A4 type arithmetic-assisted external machinery], the "Desperate" ritual may also be helped by the followers of the **** of ritual.

　　 In addition, Hathaway also promoted the alliance for the believers of lies. It's a pity that Miss Magic's friends have agreed to help the believers of lies, and no one else has a unified organization. After all, not all the gifted people of false gods are willing to act with the cult.

　　 Ms. Yindi is connected with the Order of the [Noble and Order God], but the group is not willing to come to Nolan at all, but continue to live their lives around the world. The cohesion of this cult is very poor. The reason is that there are too many believers and the demands of all parties are not completely consistent. Therefore, it cannot form a unified organization. Although there are also religious groups, they tend to be more inclined to missions and other mundane things, and they hardly manage the givers.

　　 Jenkins gave out the information to explain the progress of the joint church meeting, and talked about the less important agreement that has not yet been announced. At the same time, he also listed the dangerous locations that have been identified by the church and are distributed in and around Nolan City. Now that trickery is rampant, accidents have occurred in all corners of the city, most of which can be resolved, and those that cannot be resolved are contained in place. He hopes that his friends can stay away from those dangerous places and try to ensure their own safety.

　　 After this trading session, Jenkins and Miss Yindi walked to a quiet place to discuss matters. He used an extract of Xuanshecao to inquire Miss Yindi about the **** she believed in, that is, the [God of Nobility and Order].

　　 After hearing from the Church of Mechanics that this **** had discussed the power of thunder and lightning with the **** of nature in the first era, Jenkins was always puzzled. Even if he knew from the World Tree that he was the only outsider in this world so far, he still wondered why the ancient false **** proposed the "power of thunder and lightning."

　　PS: Add one more and ask for everything at the end of the month. If not, then ask for everything at the beginning of the month.
