"This is temporarily lent to you to play, I will not come back soon. But don't destroy it, and don't lose it."

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate turned around and jumped up, rubbing Jenkins' face very quickly. He looked at his ring happily for a while, then rubbed Jenkins's hand again, and then returned to sleep on the pillow with his "toy".

　　 "Chocolate is really simple. It would be great if the ladies I associate with are also so easy to understand."

　　 With such a sigh, he went into sleep.

　　 The sound of the night wind outside the window was very soft, blowing the green leaves on the treetops and the birds nesting on the eaves. May has arrived, and the arrival of summer means that Jenkins has been in this world for almost a whole year, and it also means that he is getting closer and closer to that final day.

Chapter 1406 Chapter 1383 Mysterious Meeting

　　 There was a big news in the newspaper early on Wednesday morning. Jenkins didn't know the news from anywhere in advance, and it stands to reason that this is impossible.

　　 "The Nolan Navy defeated the Pirate King's combined fleet in the Battle of the Broken Isles. Is it on the way back now?"

　　 Jenkins looked at the news in the newspaper in surprise, then looked at the name of the newspaper at the top, and made sure that it was the Loen Morning News and not some lace tabloid.

"How is this possible? I just met Hathaway yesterday. She didn't say the news, and Dolores didn't mention it. Could it be that the news of the victory came last night? Here is distance promise. Lan is thousands of miles away, how is this possible?"

　　 But this is indeed the case. The news of the navy's victory spread throughout the world without any warning. Whether it is a kingdom in war or a northern kingdom in a throne struggle, they were all startled by the news this morning.

　　 Jenkins also asked Dolores when he was at the table, but her agents did not understand this matter at all.

　　 "It is difficult to send people to the Broken Isles, so most of my spies are active in Nolan Harbour and docks."

　　 She explained, looking sadly at the milk in front of her, and then pushed it to her sister who was sitting next to her again.

　　 The little princess has become accustomed to her sister's childish behavior, raising her hand and pushing the extra milk to the cat on the other side of the table.

　　 "Since it is published in the newspaper, it means that the matter should be true. I really didn't expect that naval battle would end so quickly."

　　 He sighed and wanted to ask Alexia for his opinion. The latter had no opinion, but told Jenkins to be careful of spies from various countries when he was in Nolan recently. In the past, he might not notice when he walked through the alleys, but now maybe there are people hidden in the trash cans in the corners.

　　 This statement is of course very exaggerated. Aleksiya just hopes that Jenkins will be more alert.

　　 So when he returned to Nolan that day, he also deliberately checked his own trash can. There were only the cleaning servants hired by Hathaway who had not had time to clear the trash.

　　 Of course, Hathaway also knew the news of the Royal Navy's victory. When meeting Jenkins in the club room, her face finally lost the sorrow of the past few weeks. She is very happy to announce to Jenkins that her father, Earl Hesha, has sent a letter back. The Earl does not need to perform the task of cleaning the battlefield and pacifying the archipelago, so he will come back with the first fleet, which shows that he is really safe. thing.

　　 "The city hall has already reported that a grand welcoming ceremony will be held on the day the ship docks, and it will be very lively."

　　 Hathaway will definitely greet her father who has returned from a distance with her family that day. The same goes for Brian, so she did not suggest to invite Jenkins to join in the fun.

　　 Jenkins himself doesn't like too many celebrations of this kind of people, not to mention that it has nothing to do with him.

　　 What he is worried about now is the pirate king saboteur Fermisch. Miss Magic claimed to have found his hiding place more than half a month ago, but since then he has never received any news.

　　 During this period, when contacting her to hold the [Doomsday Fantasy] ceremony, she mentioned this incident many times, but Miss Magic has been vague and seems to have encountered some trouble.

　　 This whole day was spent in Nolan, hoping to enter the doomsday fantasy realm for the ninth transaction. But luck didn't seem very good. He sat in the cafe on the edge of the Civic Square all afternoon, listening to people talking about war. When the sun went down, I got up and prepared to leave, but when I was about to walk through the lively square, when I went to Mr. White Birch’s house to pick up the book given by Mr. White Cat, I saw a little boy with a soft cloth cap running. Come here.

　　 "Mr. Cat, here is a letter from you."

"me?"

　　 He looked around and made sure that he was the only one with a cat nearby, then he stopped and asked.

　　 "Yes, this is your letter."

　　 Then the boy handed the letter to Jenkins, then looked at him expectantly.

　　 Jenkins opened the envelope and saw that he was called [Mr. Candle] on the top. He took out the change he had just found in the cafe and handed it to the boy. Then he walked and read the letter.

　　 is not so much a letter, but more accurately it is a simple note in an envelope. An address was written on the note, asking Jenkins to meet there, but nothing else.

　　 "Who is so boring?"

　　 While muttering, he casually burned the note to ashes, then turned the original direction and walked towards the dock area.

Because [the story in the story] provoked the Titans, Nolan experienced severe thunderstorms and earthquakes on that Monday. Many unstable houses collapsed as a result, including the pier that can be seen from Jenkins’ bedroom window. Tower Bridge near the district.

The Tower Bridge is a relatively old building in Nolan. It was a building built to load and unload cargo for large ships when Nolan was just developed as a seaport city. It has served the wharf hundreds of years ago. Operation. Although it is maintained every year, it has been used for too long after all, so the west side collapsed due to an earthquake some time ago.

　　 After several discussions, the City Hall decided to rebuild the tower bridge based on the tall stone pillars that are almost integrated with the coastal rock walls. It is only in the just construction stage. Although the towering scaffolding has been erected, it may take the next year to complete the construction.

　　 The place where the mysterious people met is in the center of the rupture of the Tower Bridge, which is also the highest point of Nolan at present. Standing on the broken beam, the whole city has a clear view, and even the city’s clock tower is not as high as here.

　　 But this kind of height is definitely not easy to look down. Except for agile animals like chocolate, normal people will feel dizzy because of fear of heights even if they are bold.

　　Miss Magic was standing on the beam, leaning on the wooden pillar and waiting for Jenkins. Facing the direction of the city, she looked at the busy streets and the endless stream of pedestrians. The setting sun sprinkled on the roofs of thousands of households, and painted a scene even more splendid than the rich and colorful oil paintings.

　　 "Why do you choose such a place to meet? Do you know how determined I was when I climbed up?"

　　 He moved forward step by step, even if there is [Cat's Grace], he dare not go too fast.

　　 "I thought your first question was to ask, how did I find you."

　　 Miss Magic turned around and replied, not going to see the evening view of the city anymore.

　　 "I told you that I have been wandering around the clock tower every day recently, and the cat vanilla I carry is unique. If you want to find me, you can't find it."

　　 Jenkins stopped a few feet away from her and also held on to the pillar.

　　 Cat curiously stood on Jenkins's shoulder and looked around, very satisfied with the scenery here.

Chapter 1407 Chapter 1384 Clues to Death

　　 "There is a reason for choosing here, we must avoid the ears of others in our conversation."

　　Miss Magic in the sunset, her hair was dyed golden. It's just that the wind is a bit strong at such a high altitude, which brings the last coolness of spring.

　　 "I don't think there is any need to choose such a high place. Any remote alley can avoid other people's ears..."

　　 Having said that, Jenkins suddenly thought of the reminder that Alexia had said about spies in the morning.

　　 "You don't worry about being heard by accident because there are too many spies in the city, right?"

"Of course not, why do you think this way? What I want to say is related to [Doomsday Fantasy]. I am worried that the bell tower old man you mentioned will find our conversation, so I chose an area that does not overlap with the Doomsday Fantasy. . Of course you can choose outside the city, but I think it’s already evening, you probably don’t want to go out of the city again, do you?"

　　The range of the Doomsday Fantasyland covers Nolan City, but the upward range is affected by the forbidden air, which Jenkins has not yet figured out. He thinks that since the yellow moon is in the sky, the range should be very high.

　　 But according to Miss Magic's research, the area beyond the height of the city clock tower is no longer the sphere of influence of the illusion. Therefore, in addition to choosing to hide outside of the city, Miss Yindi can actually avoid the illusion as long as she flies high enough—provided that she can stay in the sky for a long time.

"I think you should have also noticed. Recently, there have been rumors of doomsday fantasy on the black market. More and more gifters have entered there. This means that the world is getting closer and closer to this city. So far, you have I have obtained eight different rituals. At first, I thought that these rituals were okay and could indeed play a role in making the two spaces mutually exclusive. But when I analyzed the seventh ritual, I found some doubts. Later, after researching. Those rituals can indeed prevent the overlap of the two cities, but the forces are relative. While pushing the doomsday illusion away from the material world, the reactionary force will also separate the space where Nolan is located from the material world... Don’t worry. All this has not yet begun. If we lay out a complete ceremony, this will only be possible."

　　 After she said she motioned to Jenkins to express her opinion, but found that Mr. Candle was just a pensive expression, so she asked:

　　 "Don't you feel surprised?"

"The other party is something that came out of the treacherous realm. I didn't intend to completely believe it. I originally planned to find a way to solve it directly after I got the tenth ritual. Ahem, I mean to find a way to get it. The church entered there and eliminated the old man from the clock tower. Now it seems that I was still negligent... Miss Magic, if you don't use this ritual, do you have a way to prevent the overlap of the doomsday illusion?"

　　 "There is no way."

　　 "Then you can improve this ritual so that the real Nolan will not be separated from the material world under the premise of pushing the Doomsday Nolan away?"

"Do you think I am omnipotent, Mr. Candle? The complexity of those rituals is beyond your imagination. I haven't even fully understood all the runes in them. Instead of expecting me to improve the rituals, you should look forward to the world. He died suddenly."

　　 Compared with Mr. Hood, who is full of sense of justice, the other people in the party are not the kind of people with brave and upright characters. But this does not mean that they will not be nosy, at least in this case, Miss Magic and Jenkins are thinking about saving the city, rather than fleeing here before things develop to the most critical point.

　　 Although they cannot start from the ceremony, they are not without other clues. There were a total of six people who entered the treacherous realm. The old man of the clock tower said that three people died in the treacherous realm, and besides Miss Yindi, two others should have survived smoothly.

　　 If you can find out from them what they did to make things happen to this point, then maybe you can find a way to solve the doomsday illusion.

　　 Just do it when they think of it. After the two discussed the arrangements for action, they went to a small hill villa on the outskirts of the city to find Miss Yindi, and then asked her if they knew the actual identities of the remaining five people.

　　 Miss Yindi told them that the five people should know each other, which can be known from the tone of speech. But they all wore masks, and she couldn't see the face at all, only knew that one of them had a heavy smell of fish.

　　 "That kind of taste is not deliberately made, it must be the result of years of working in related industries."

　　 But the problem is that Nolan, as a well-known port city, the most indispensable is people with fishy smells. Only relying on this characteristic to find is still a needle in a haystack.

　　 Ms. Yindi also did not have other conveniences and assistance to provide to them, and she could not even enter the city safely. But the incident was related to her after all, and she was too embarrassed to stay out of the matter, so before the two left, they gave them some banknotes to fund the operation.

　　 "When have you been so rich?"

　　 Looking at the stack of 10-pound banknotes in her hand, Miss Magic said in surprise. At the beginning, the two of them had lost their wealth in order to buy the antiques that each entered the treacherous realm and turned into alien species. Miss Yindi even sold the house in the city and moved to St. George Street near the wharf area.

　　 "I was also looking for a job, and later worked as an occult consultant for a very wealthy nobleman. She was really generous."

　　 Miss Yindi said vaguely. Jenkins thought she was talking about Miss Windsor. When reselling the arms, he knew that Miss Yindi was working for Miss Windsor.

But now that very capable noble lady is not in Nolan. The royal capital Beldira has a sudden change, and the queen's body may not work at any time. Dolores’ reliable intelligence proves that Jessica Windsor is calling to follow in Beldira. It seems that he should have been thinking about the crown.

　　 "So what should I do now?"

　　 After coming out of the villa, the two of them walked on the mountain path. Miss Magic asked while lowering her head and nodding the banknotes. She was very skilled in counting money.

"It's not impossible, but this method is very risky. I have to enter the clock tower of the doomsday illusion again, which means that I must go to see the old man of the clock tower. Otherwise, if I just enter the tower without seeing him, it will cause suspicion... .... Do you remember that I once said that when I climbed the clock tower for the first time, I found a corpse on the stairs."

"A total of 210 pounds, each of us can share 105 pounds, the money can be used to buy a small house in Nolan, it is great to have money...what did you say? Oh, remember, of course, you are Speaking of the corpse that you buried on the first floor of the clock tower with stones and wood chips? Yes, I understand, that is indeed the best clue."

Chapter 1408 Chapter 1385

　　 Doomsday fantasy is not meant to be entered immediately, so at least I can’t continue to deal with this matter tonight. Miss Magic and Jenkins left after sharing the money. She gave Jenkins the range of activities she planned for this week. Once the body is taken out of the world, Jenkins can go to her at any time.

　　 When I returned to Luen just in time for dinner, the ladies who had been busy all day gathered at the table and talked to Jenkins about their day. After destroying the body of Mr. Corpse, Alexia was temporarily in a situation with nothing to do, so he planned to be promoted to the eighth level in the near future, and worked hard for it. Dolores still worries about her government affairs every day. The arrival of the diplomatic envoys of the two countries has brought about brand-new problems, because the House actually intends to budget for the war. This is a very complicated matter and will make the original manpower shortage. The financial sector is even more short-handed.

　　 The next day is Thursday, and Jenkins left for Nolan early in the morning. After processing the personal letters that Hathaway helped to collect at home, he went to the Civic Square in front of the clock tower to hang out.

　　 He often wandered around here with the same cat with different faces in the past half month. He knew everything around him very well, knowing where to avoid the wind and where the sun is not too severe. This time around noon, I was lucky enough to enter the illusion, so I went to the clock tower non-stop, traded with the old man for the ninth ritual, and then quietly went to the bottom of the clock tower and picked it out from the simple grave. With a badly putrefied corpse, after leaving the clock tower with it, he returned to reality in a safe corner.

　　 When I saw Miss Magic, the sun was already about to set. Seeing the strange man coming with the cat, she immediately understood that the corpse had been successfully taken out, so after a few greetings with the owner of the clothing store, she went to the street with Jenkins.

　　 "Where is that corpse?"

　　 She asked in a low voice, now it is time to leave work and off work, there are many people on the street, and the two of them walked out of the city against the flow of people.

　　 "You don't expect me to bring it to the city, do you? I put it in the abandoned cemetery, which is the abandoned cemetery where we fight the tree house demigod Mr. Clark in winter."

　　 This cemetery belongs to Jenkins, a small gift left by Viscount Augustus to him before his death. Although it is a cemetery, except for the few people who were killed or turned into gears by Jenkins, there are actually no corpses in the ground of the cemetery. The original corpses were moved away more than ten years ago.

　　 Jenkins once planned to build a country house in this beautiful place with a wide view, but later because of a series of things and concerns that it was once a cemetery, he did not make up his mind.

　　 The corrupt corpse was temporarily placed in the cemetery by him. After Miss Magic and him came here, they immediately set about preparing for psychic. Although Jenkins's psychic ability is not very good, Miss Magic is proficient in it.

　　 But it's a pity that because this person died in a treacherous state, the spirit of the channelling was of very poor quality, almost no self-awareness, and could only answer some simple phrases, and the content was also inverted and had no value.

　　 Before the soul collapsed, they only knew that his name was Perot Spencer.

　　 "Since the soul is useless, let's try another ritual."

　　 Miss Magic said eagerly.

　　Because of the sufficient funds for this operation, she purchased a lot of ritual materials that might be used while waiting for Jenkins to bring out the body. Inquiring about the soul has no results, so you have to rely on the backtracking of the blood.

　　Although the blood of the corpse has been corrupted, it is not unusable. It just needs to be treated with expensive blood-promoting factor.

　　 After a small cup of wine-red blood boiled in the silver cup, Miss Magic asked Jenkins, who was holding her nose, to hold the wine cup, while she stuck some blood with a quill pen and kept writing runes on the corpse.

　　 After the last rune was written, the blood in the glass just ran out. Miss Magic took a sigh of relief, and then asked Jenkins to cooperate and held a ritual to activate the rune.

　　 At the moment when the sun completely disappeared from the horizon, the fallen corpse twitched abruptly, and then he stood up stiffly. The blood-red runes on his body were faintly glowing, and it was these runes that allowed the corpse to move again.

　　 "This is the so-called..."

　　 "I know, this is a notorious illegal ritual [Blood Retracing]. It uses the blood of the deceased as a driving force to make the corpse find the person with the closest blood...Do you even understand this ritual?"

　　 Jenkins picked up the cat who was trying to escape because of the foul smell, and asked while helping Miss Magic clean up the ground.

　　 "Although it's illegal, you have to admit that it's useful...you won't report me?"

Taking advantage of the darkness, Jenkins found some clothes to dress the corpse as a normal person, put on gloves, a hat with a wide brim on his head, and even sprayed a lot of perfume on the corpse to cover the smell of the corpse. Follow him together to find his family.

　　 Although the corpse was swaying as it walked, at least the speed was not slow. At more than eight o'clock, he stopped at the intersection of a residential area northwest of Nolan, and then walked straight to the fence door of the house on the right.

"right here!"

　　 Jenkins was overjoyed, and quickly followed behind the corpse and erased the rune on its neck that was deliberately exposed. The corpse immediately lost the ability to move, so Jenkins firmly supported him to prevent him from falling, and walked towards the fence of the house like a drunk person.

Vanilla quickly escaped when Jenkins touched the corpse. Miss Magic quickly came to the door and rang the bell. Not long after, a middle-aged man opened the door and poked his head out, looking towards standing on the street. Of three people.

"who are you?"

　　 He frowned and asked, not seeming to want to open the door for them, or even going to the yard to talk to the three of them.
