Dominate the Treacherous Realm

Chapter 23

   The carriage is the property of the church, and the coachman is also a trusted believer. Of course, because he was going to such a remote place in the middle of the night, both Dad and Jenkins gave the coachman some tips.

   "If one day I die, I will probably be buried here too?"

   Jenkins said unlucky things, and kicked the stone at his feet into the grass beside him like a child.

   It is late August. The temperature at night has dropped very rapidly. Coupled with the unique gloomy feeling of the cemetery, Jenkins still couldn't help but shiver even if he was wearing a sweater in the black suit.

   "I will be buried here when I die, you won't."

   Dad didn't care that this topic is very unlucky at this moment.

   "Why?"

"You sacrificed your divinity to the goddess, and the Holy See is still discussing the rewards for you. But what is certain is that after you die, you will be chased as a holy son, and then buried in honor of only the cardinal, the pope or the contribution Only the most distinguished believers are eligible to be buried in the [Hall Library]."

   "Buried in the library? Unsurprisingly, people who believe in the goddess of knowledge cannot leave books even after death."

   Jenkins muttered the rebellious words in his heart, then turned his head and looked at the cemetery in the shadow.

   "Reward? I thought that the goddess would give me some [gifts] or magical magic on the spot."

   "Don't arrogantly discuss the ideas of sages!"

   Dad warned.

   Jenkins knew that he had made a mistake, touched his hair and smiled embarrassedly, and then stopped talking about it.

   Although the Holy See's award is still under discussion, the Diocese of Nolan is ready to give Jenkins something.

   Now it happens that he has been promoted to one level and can once again gain an ability, so the church specially put out several abilities treasured by the diocese for him to choose.

   The good thing about providing materials for free is only when you just become a gifter, so this time you choose not only to consider the problem of ability matching, but more importantly, the thickness of your own golden pounds.

  PS: The question about the demigod being easily defeated is explained at the end of Chapter 97.

Section 51 Chapter 50 New Abilities and Rituals

   Speaking of it, after Jenkins was promoted to the first level, he got two bubbles instead of one normal bubble. This means that he can now have a total of 7+2=9 abilities, chasing the level 4 bestower. But the old man said that the matching of abilities should be gradually valued. Jenkins considered for a long time and only chose two abilities to learn. He also owed the church £500 for this, because only one ability can be selected in the regulations.

   One of them is [Disease Curse (Yellow Curse)].

   This ability covers a lot of diseases, but the ability to cast not only requires a spell text, but also consumes a special material [Curse Black Gold] as a spellcasting material. It is not gold, but an extraordinary metal made from ordinary pig iron by holding a special ceremony in a special place.

   The church has a special way to obtain it. Jenkins feels that this weird and concealed ability is very suitable for him, especially the effect of the curse is related to the person's understanding of the disease.

   The second ability is auxiliary [Astral Detection (Yellow Spell)]. This ability allows Jenkins to immerse himself in a special space called [Star Boundary] under the stars at night, where he can observe the real world and discover peculiar changes.

   sounds useless, but my father strongly recommends Jenkins to choose this, but the specific reason can only be told after Jenkins studies.

   There is no problem with the learning of the first ability. The church has all the materials, and Jenkins can buy it for a few pounds.

   From the cemetery to board the carriage, Dad and Jenkins can stay in the nursing home for one night.

   Jenkins has not been home for four consecutive days. He had to do this. Old Williams could only ask Bishop Parrod to say hello. He was safe in the battle that day. As an ordinary person, the old man left the front line of the battle for the first time.

   asked for an empty room, closed the door, and piled the ritual items that he didn’t need on the wall to prevent interference with the ritual.

Take off your clothes and draw a standard circle on the ground. The left side is inscribed with the simple holy emblem representing the end of death. This ability seems to be related to this righteous god; the right side is inscribed representing the [inherited sage] Since Jenkins is his believer, when it comes to another righteous god, it must be emphasized when gaining power.

   used ritual chalk to draw the wavy stripes that he wrote down in the circle, then cut his wrist and dripped blood into the glassware.

   "Add the carapace powder of the plague bone worm, chant the prayer and gently shake the vessel to mix the blood and the powder."

   Jenkins retelled in a low voice, his hands kept moving.

   "Smash the breath of the dead and fill it in a closed room."

[The breath of the dead in vain] refers to a transparent glass tube. Although there is nothing in it in Jenkins's opinion, after opening [True Eye], you can see a faint aura and roaring skeletons constantly appearing on the surface of the test tube. skull.

   "I am not performing a cult ceremony."

   Jenkins said to himself, throwing the glass tube to the ground, then frowned and took out [the fingers of the right hand of the dying 3-year-old child], held it like a pen, and stained it with his blood and powder mixture.

   Jenkins has never doubted the origin of this finger. After all, as long as the poor children in this era are sick, it almost means death. If the corpse finger can be sold for a good price, no one will be stingy.

   Soon, the ground was full of evil ritual symbols, and Jenkins also smeared holy water, skyflower blood and plague flower juice on his body.

The meaning of holy water here is "blessing, will not harm the surgeon", Jenkins directly went to Bishop Parrod and asked him to bless a small glass of boiling water; the blood of heaven means "unclean", and the bottle was filled in tin The things in the leather kettle are provided by the church. Jenkins must hold the ceremony as soon as possible after receiving the materials, otherwise it will not be fresh; the plague flower means "disease". It is a highly poisonous plant that only grows on the 5000-meter-high Lobi The mountainous area of ​​Dashan is colorless and tasteless. It can kill a strong adult man with just 3 drops. It is the most common court poison in contemporary legendary novels and knight novels.

  Of course, oral administration is toxic, and topical application is ineffective.

   "Never choose this ability again!"

   Jenkins swears silently in his heart, and then places the most expensive and core material of the ceremony-the Plague Seed at the center of the formation. This green seed-like item is absolutely forbidden, and its level of horror is comparable to the T virus in Jenkins' impression.

   endured the intense nausea and sat down in the center of the circle and began to pray.

   Not all abilities can be learned by any gifter, and there is a similarity to matching degree. Among them, the month of birth has the highest impact on the success rate of learning ability. Since different months in this world correspond to different righteous gods, gifters born in certain months are not associated with specific abilities.

   For example, Jenkins was born in [Full Moon and Insect Moon], which is the month of May corresponding to [No Light Moon]. As far as we know it, the ability of the church's collection called [Silence Portal (Yellow Mantra)] is very unlikely to be mastered.

   Of course, gender, age, beliefs, etc. also have an impact on the acquisition of abilities, but as long as there are specific methods to increase the success rate, theoretically there is no ability that cannot be mastered.

[Plague Curse] It was mastered very smoothly, but that night, the staff of the nursing home wore a black crow's beak mask and cleaned Jenkins and the room inside and out—he used too much and it might cause Disease and plague material.

Mastering [Astral Exploration] requires very expensive materials. Although the church provides it for free, the core of the ceremony, some kind of spar called [Star Debris], is temporarily absent. This is a special crystal half-lived with meteorite, at least Wait until June next year to get it again.

   Jenkins, who had taken a bath, planned to say hello to his father before going to bed, but he was blasted out directly by his father. He asked Jenkins to pay more attention to the black market recently because someone had sold it there two months ago.

   On the second day after the [Curse of Disease] ability was acquired, Jenkins returned to his home. Mary Williams cried and hugged him, "Oh, Jenkins, are you going to move out now."

   He does have this plan, but the "Stories of Foreigners" has just finished printing, and it will take some time to get the first payment.

   He hopes that his family can adapt to his absence.

   "This is Jenkins Williams."

   He repeated it many times in his heart. Even though he worked hard to take on this role, he knew in his heart that he was just a visitor from a foreign land.

Section 52 Chapter 51 Experiments and Meetings

   has gained new abilities, of course Jenkins has to try it. After thinking about it, he realized that he hadn't had any enemies to avenge since the journey, and he was really a failed journeyman.

   Dad helped Jenkins catch a few wild cats from the road. Jenkins took a few strands of their hair, wrapped them around the cursed black gold, and then pressed them on a piece of paper cut into a cat shape.

   chanted the weird mantra in a low voice, trying to imagine the symptoms and causes of the flu in his heart in the process.

"Influenza virus is protein and simple... the virus is carried with saliva, respiratory tract or other means... H7, which is hemagglutinin... hijacks the human genetic material to reproduce... .. The clinical manifestations are..."

   opened his eyes, all the wild cats lay down slantingly on the ground, they were going to die.

   "Is it so strong?"

Dad stood at the door of Principle Wildcat’s warehouse, wearing a mask and muffled and said, "What disease did you describe? How could it have such a strong effect? ​​No way. Hurry up, end the spell, don’t take Dad’s The shop became a plague source!"

   Jenkins immediately burned the cat-shaped paper and hair with a match. At this time, the black gold seemed to have been severely corroded by wind and sand, and it was no longer usable.

   "I just went to high school biology class, and I read Red Blood Cell Labyrinth."

   Jenkins knows this is the reason, and his understanding of the nature of the disease is far beyond ordinary people. If you want to maximize the power of this ability, a part-time pathology student or flu doctor is the best choice. But Jenkins only wants to use this ability to make small moves behind his back. He himself has no idea of ​​becoming a doctor, so this power is enough now.

  Knowledge is power, and the sages who believe in the inheritance are right.

   The poor wild cats recuperated in the old shop for a day before regaining their vitality. They left with satisfaction after getting paid for the experiment—a piece of dried fish.

   After all, Dad and Jenkins are not demons either.

   Because of the clear weather, the legal party can finally be held again. Jenkins checked the advertising area of ​​the "Dock Union News" and, like last time, jumped to the tree outside the bedroom window at night, then called out the black robe from the shadows, and ran out of the city at great speed.

   I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the meeting place this time was actually in the woods next to the civic cemetery. From there you can even see the stone road that Jenkins and Dad walked.

   Jenkins was still the first to arrive. He was struggling to climb to the tree, letting the dense branches cover himself, and only when the familiar Mr. Hood appeared, he jumped down.

   formed a sharp contrast with the clumsy tree climbing movement.

   "Oh, madam, who are you?"

   Mr. Hood exclaimed, turning around like running away.

   Jenkins summoned his pentagram without a word. Mr. Hood was in a panic and called out his red bird emblem.

   "Mr. Candle, your disguise is really amazing, this time you are a short lady."

   As he spoke, he walked a few steps forward, leaning against the trunk, the shadow of the branch just covering his body.

   "Thank you, and congratulations on your promotion."

   Mr. Hood was taken aback and looked at Jenkins in surprise. Although Jenkins could not see his face, he could still guess the horrified expression.

   With the increase in level, some changes have taken place in the [True Eye], which could only see the aura. For example, he can see the phantom of the skeleton in [The Breath of the Dead] and the blank bubbles belonging to the benefactor.

  Miss Magic, Mr. Black Cat, and Miss Bailing also came to the meeting place one after another, and displayed emblems to prove their identities. But after waiting for a long time, Mr. Bai Birch was not seen.

   "Maybe he can't get something, right?"

   Jenkins guessed.

   "Maybe already..."

  Miss Magic sighed softly, and everyone looked at the cemetery in unison. In that crazy rainy night, for some reason, A-01-2-0198 changed her usual routine and frequently sold flowers to passers-by. This is also the reason why Jenkins couldn't take out the flowers when she met her.

  According to current statistics, at least 30 people have traded with A-01-2-0198. This is only a count. There may be more unlucky people who refuse to trade and who do not realize what happened.

   "I hope he is safe. We will still use the weather to determine the meeting time next time, so that if Mr. Shiraki is just something, we can come next time."

   "Agree."

   "Agree."

   "Agree."

   "Agree."

   The five people joined together to pray for Mr. Birch, who has never seen his true face, and then began today's gathering.

   is still Mr. Hood started first.

   "On that rainy night, the [Ice Messenger] of [Light Chaser Club] tried to activate the statue of Cthulhu, but the scribes thwarted the conspiracy."

   Miss Braun and Mr. Black Cat took a breath, Jenkins and Miss Magic were still calm.

   The former is a participant in itself, and the latter may have learned of this through other means.

   "I also know something about that night."

   Sure enough, this is what Miss Magic wants to say.

"The major churches are trying to use divination to determine where the demon that wounded [The Ice Servant] came from, and finally found that it was actually produced in a painting like the octopus. It is a deceit, and it is now named A-10- 2-9116 [Painting depicting inner desires]."

   Jenkins frowned slightly.

   "Demon?"

He asked in a low voice, Miss Magic probably thought the message was not valuable, and explained: "Yes, at least ten gifters of the Orthodox Church saw him. It is the same era as recorded in myths and history. Black hair and black eyes that have never appeared before."

   Jenkins knew that the church was looking for the "black-robed man", but he didn't know that the sword fairy he painted was actually considered a demon.

   "Does the devil really exist? Go back and ask Dad."

   Jenkins thought in his heart, and nodded to Miss Magic, who motioned for him to say the next one.

   "What I want to talk about is that night."

Jeenkinston paused and told the facts that he had chosen long ago: "The church fortune telling learned that A-10-2-9116 was taken away by a man in black robes. He has the ability to shield divination. He was wearing a black robe. It should be one of the ABC series. The police station is now looking for him for robbery and murder. Everyone should have other ways to get to know unregistered benefactors like us. If you see anyone wearing a black robe, you must be careful. ."

  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took a step back tacitly, because except for Jenkins, the other four were in black robes.

  PS: All recommendations, monthly passes, rewards, and blade additions will be calculated when they are released in the distant future, no less than ten chapters.

   Another: Seek all the things mentioned above.

Section 53 Chapter 52 Chain Ability

   "Don't be silly, how can you meet that person here by such a coincidence?"

   He chuckled and everyone at the party reunited.
