She stood at the end of the bombed-out half of the street, pointing to Jenkins speechless.

Chapter 1698 Chapter 1671 Encirclement and Suppression

　　 "The underground gas pipe exploded, as the newspaper will say."

　　 said Jenkins, who was also standing at the end of the street, and then looked around:

　　 "So what was that just now? After I was blown up, there was nothing left. I thought I could at least collect some dust as trophies."

　　 His attitude angered the woman in front of him, but the explosion was so loud that someone would come over soon, and the two of them had to leave immediately:

"You can feel free to contact me."

　　 Jenkins said before parting, not forgetting to remind:

　　 "If you have time, please also investigate what is in the fog around Nolan. Today this thing... is really weird."

　　 After speaking, he took the white cat vanilla who was awakened by the explosion, and left without looking back. Only Miss Stevier angrily kicked the stone under her feet to the side, and then turned and left the street that was half destroyed by the explosion.

　　 The half-street that was blown up by the air bomb ring is naturally considered to be an accident caused by an underground gas pipe explosion. Judging from the information Jenkins obtained at the church later, Miss Stevier did report the weird black mist creature to the church.

　　 At the same time, Jenkins even learned that Miss Stillwell had successfully "lurked" around the believers of lies. This matter is very important, it is absolutely top-secret information, and no more than five people, including the Holy See in Beldiran, know this matter.

　　 After finishing this most important thing so far, nothing strange will happen in the following week, from Thursday to Sunday. The Three Kings talks are still going on, but the results achieved are not satisfactory. Jenkins has stopped showing up since the third day of the talks. He thinks that it is a waste of time to stay there.

　　 It’s been half a week, the progress of the tulip scam is very gratifying. Perhaps it is because Nolan has gathered a large number of idlers with money and no place to spend in a short time, which puts the luxury market in a state where demand exceeds supply. During this week, tulips that cherish color and petal textures continue to be delivered. auction.

　　 Except for a large number of unsold auctions in the previous batch, other tulips were sold at very high prices. People gradually accepted the fact that this kind of flower belongs to the "precious" flower species, especially after Jenkins and Miss Windsor joined forces to put pressure on Nolan Town Hall, which is in charge of the Three Kings Talks, to buy a bunch of tulips for the arrangement of the venue. The price has risen to an unacceptable price.

　　 But Jenkins's purpose is not only to increase the price of tulips, he hopes that people will treat this flower as a wealth that can increase in value. Therefore, tulips should not only appear in auction houses, but also in places accessible to ordinary citizens.

　　 Therefore, Jenkins will give birth to a certain number of ordinary color tulips every day, through the channel of Miss Windsor, by Nolan's flower sellers to sell to Nolan everywhere.

Jenkins even has new attention. Starting from the weekend, flower girls are allowed to lower the price to buy back the tulips in people's hands, and then sell them again at a uniformly set daily high retail price-of course no one will buy it, so Using the treasure in the vicinity of Bel Dylan as a base fund, Miss Windsor hired some skilled actors to "mop up" the unsold flowers.

　　 The cost of the tulip itself is close to zero, so that only the flower girls make money. But this is exactly the purpose of Jenkins. Anyway, there is a lot of money in the treasure to buy the entire Nolan, and the money issue does not need to be considered at all.

　　 There is no perfect plan in the world. Such a large-scale operation will naturally attract the attention of relevant departments. But fortunately, this kind of scam is the first time someone has made a plan in this world, and the Carfax field in Nolan has been very busy recently due to the security issue of the Three Kings talks, so no one has gone into it for the time being. Explore the whole story of this incident.

　　The plan is going well. Jenkins thinks that if he can really reproduce the "grand event" of another world tulip scam in the end, it is better to have him personally expose it, then he can at least get a drop of divinity from the priesthood of lies.

　　 Jenkins is busy with the royal family, church and tulips, and the girls are actively preparing for his birthday. Jenkins’s own birthday is the last day of the month, which is Sunday, but he prefers to regard the day he comes into this world next month as his birthday, but he cannot say such things.

　　 Since I have told the girls that his birthday is the day when everyone meets, Hathaway, Britney, Alexia and Dolores are all actively preparing. Although in Jenkins's opinion, there is nothing to prepare for, whenever he puts forward this point of view, the girls will look at it with condemnation.

　　 Miss Windsor and cousin Sigrid also know about Jenkins’ birthday, and of course they want to celebrate his birthday. But Jenkins felt that his birthday was messy enough, and if there were more people, he really couldn't handle it.

　　 After his birthday, Jenkins planned to take Sigrid home and let the Williams family get to know new relatives. So although the believer of nature felt sorry for not being able to attend the birthday party, he didn't care very much. Miss Windsor was very concerned, but Jenkins really couldn't handle so many things.

　　 Chocolate ran for a while, so time came to another Monday, the 24th day of [Starry Sky and Long Night Moon], and the sixth day of the Three Kings Talks.

　　Because the talks were delayed and fruitless, and representatives of various countries fell into an embarrassing stalemate, the meeting had to be extended. The original plan was only one week, but now it has to be extended to half a month.

　　 In the early morning newspaper, there are large commentary articles without photos, talking about the current meeting minutes, and talking about the changes that this meeting will bring to the world. The sidebar of the newspaper contained square articles such as detective advertisements, wanted orders, obituaries, and even high-priced purchases of tulips.

　　 This statement was tightly grasped by Jenkins. He grabbed the newspaper, took the cat, and wore a black robe with a hood, walking hurriedly down the smoky morning street.

　　 It's less than six o'clock now, and the sky is light, but Jenkins has already reached the block near the church.

　　Today, the Twelve Orthodox Churches will organize the first joint operation in Nolan City to encircle and suppress the illegal organization [Scent Appreciation Committee].

　　 This will be the largest collective operation in Nolan City this year, and it will also be the largest operation carried out by the Church of the Material World after the Snowman Legion decisive battle in winter. Although the [Scent Appreciation Committee] is far less harmful than the legionary artifacts, the church still has a larger team than the last time, and a stronger fighting force, striving to make the first battle at the end of the eighteenth era become one. A beautiful battle of annihilation.

Chapter 1699 Chapter 1672 The Road to Victory

　　 As the resident son of Nolan Diocese of the Church of the Sages, Jenkins of course also has to participate in such an important action. The black robe he was wearing at the moment was used to cover up his identity. It is now a crucial moment in the fight for the throne. He cannot easily reveal his position in the church and the identity of the gifter.

　　 Although I got up very early, when I arrived at the church with the cat, the fighting team had already assembled.

　　 At present, the power of the Church of the Sage in Nolan Diocese is divided into two parts, one in the local church and the other in the Evergreen Forest. The church is led by Miss Bevanna, Mr. Gilbert, and Jenkins, and on the Evergreen Forest, there is a son Ms. Rita and five demigods who just arrived last night.

　　Because of the fear of smashing the grass, all actions were finalized last night, and the movements of the combat team are completely confidential.

　　 Jenkins, who looks suspicious in black robe, enters through the back door of the church. After confirming the plan with Miss Bevana and Mr. Gilbert for the last time, they each led two combat teams and set off at a staggered time.

　　 Of course, this is not all the fighting power in the church, but this time it is a joint operation of the twelve churches, and there are also a considerable number of teams from the Evergreen Forest that will be dispatched, so the church does not need to be dispatched here.

　　 In order to prevent revealing his identity, Jenkins not only wears an airtight black robe in the hot summer, but even his logo, the cat chocolate, is ordered to keep hidden in his clothes.

　　 In fact, chocolate is best if it doesn't come, but Jenkins can't say it. Even if he threatens to bathe it, the cat will not leave Jenkins for a half step.

　　【Scent Appreciation Committee】After a large search in Turin, they moved to Nolan. When investigating the nightfall manor a while ago, the church did not find too many traces of the tree house, but instead found this group of guys selling cigarettes.

　　, after nearly half a month of waiting, they finally found their local base camp smoothly.

　　 It is not a dark and deserted mansion, or an abandoned building that no one cares about. On the contrary, the cigarette dealers chose a street-side building in downtown Nolan and rented an entire building in the name of the sales office of the "Bizarre Soap Factory". After follow-up investigation and confirmation with the followers of the false **** [Hovering Fog], it was discovered that the so-called soap factory really exists, and it also has a certain reputation in Nolan. It is an ordinary capital institution established in Nolan area by the [Scent Appreciation Committee] many years ago.

　　 Summer is the season that is prone to fog, and Nolan's own haze, even though the time has reached seven o'clock, Roseburg Avenue is still surrounded by gray-white smoke.

　　 This is not a suitable time to travel, but people who are on the go for a livelihood still have to walk on the street with their briefcases in their mouths and noses.

　　 A young man wearing cheap leather shoes and formal attire appeared at the bottom of a building painted in poor-quality yellow paint at this time. He was holding a briefcase and wearing a pair of heavy glasses, almost writing the word "salesman" on his forehead.

　　 The man squinted his eyes and looked at the sign hanging on the second floor, then stretched his head to look at the closed red iron door. After hesitating, he went up the steps and knocked on the door. The door opened almost immediately.

"whats the matter?"

　　Opening the door is an old lady with brown hair and a chubby body whose hair is rolled up with more than ten curling rods. Her complexion is very white, but the dots of freckles ruin the few remaining advantages.

"I'm......"

　　 said as if taking something out of a briefcase, but the woman inside the door took a look at him, confirmed the identity of the salesman, and said directly:

　　 "Go!"

　　 slammed the door shut and almost hit the young nose. The salesman smiled awkwardly at the door, then turned his head and left here.

　　 "The situation is almost as expected. There are 32 gifters and only two demigods."

　　 A block away, the man in the alley is holding a slap-sized stone, the stone showing colorful colors. This is the result of a pair of B-11-5-2920 [Detector's Eye Fossils], one eye detects the number of nearby gifters, and the other eye responds.

"start to act."

　　 The man whispered to his back, and the nun behind him quickly threw the triangular piece of paper in her hand into the ceremonial formation depicted on the ground.

　　 Under the packages of various rituals and abilities, nearly three hundred benefactors have silently surrounded the block where the building is located. After receiving the instructions to start the action, the five holy children distributed around the block jointly activated the mysterious locks according to the ceremonial array arranged in advance:

　　 [Clean field]!

　　 This in itself is a kind of trap to disperse dirt within a certain range, and is used to temporarily prevent these terrible things from spreading out when contagious plagues and spreading curses appear. But the joint function of the ritual is to isolate the impure things that exist in reality, including garbage, smog, etc., from the locks, so it happens to have an effect here.

　　 Including Jenkins, the five saints stood on the five apexes of the huge pentagram. As the golden light shone on the five people, the locks closed from the inside to the outside, covering the entire area in an instant.

　　 It was confirmed that the lock was formed. Before the people in the sales office of the Biz Soap Factory realized, the demigod of the Church of Death and the End held a black stone at the sun in the sky.

B-12-1-2831 [The prototype of the death messenger sickle], The Church of Death and the End is housed in the Diocese of Nolan. The most dangerous category B extraordinary item. Even before the plan, other churches did not know that this terrible thing was in the diocese. . Although it is a Class B item, it is not a trick, but the degree of danger of this item is no less than that of a trick.

　　 This is a curse item, and according to legend, it was bestowed on mortals by the **** of justice himself. The holder of the stone must be at least a demigod. Just aim it at the sun for more than three seconds. The stone will cause a mortal attack on all gifters who do not possess the ability of righteous gods within the envelope, reducing any non-death beliefs. The life expectancy of ordinary people is ten years, and the effect continues to increase with the time exposed to the sun.

　　 Although it has little effect on blessers above level 5, this kind of item should never be used if it is not necessary.

　　 At the same time as the gray aura that symbolizes death sweeps through the entire maze, the third round of large-scale incantation ritual [Holy Residence] triggered by incantation spreads outward. The effect is that before the ritual collapses, the effects of all the gods of righteousness within the scope are greatly enhanced.

　　 Such a big movement has already alarmed the perpetrators in the building. After detecting the unfolding of the mystery and isolating the surroundings from reality, the [Scent Appreciation Committee] did not sit still. But almost in the next moment, all the gifters below level 5 fell to the ground, delaying their counterattack, allowing the spell ritual to cover almost the entire range of the lock.

　　 As the [Holy Residence] unfolded, the golden light spread from the ground to the surroundings, but when it touched the building, it was unexpectedly blocked by a layer of black light.

　　 The children's murmur of poetry gradually sounded, and the sound made the curse ritual come to an abrupt end. There should be no fog in the lock, but as the whispers spread, the fog came from deeper into the sky, first covering the sun, making the [Scythe Prototype of Reaper] lose its effect.

　　 Then, it seemed as if a giant monster spit out a gray mist from the depths of the sky, covering the entire sky in the lock. Visibility dropped rapidly, and a cold wind rose in whispers.

　　 Along with the spread of whispers and the surging of gray mist, a human figure appeared vaguely above the three-story building.

　　 It is difficult to describe what it is. With the appearance of this figure, some fragments of incomplete phrases, mixed in the pure whispers of the children, are transmitted to everyone's heart. But those who participated in this operation were all elite combat troops of the Orthodox Church, and they would not lose their stance because of this influence.

　　 It is obviously summer, but the temperature is constantly decreasing. While the incantation ritual was suspended out of thin air, a black halo visible to the naked eye spread out with the appearance of the fuzzy human form.

　　 The cold wind blew through everyone's body, and the wind bounced back immediately after touching the edge of the lock. There was an inexplicable scorching smell in the surging wind back and forth, but this smell was not like the smell of Nolan's air, but like the disgusting smell of corpses in the crematorium.

A huge black halo appeared behind the head of the humanoid above the building. As the halo took shape, the incompletely shaped humanoid actually gained a little more sacred and sacred temperament, but then, the mental shock rushed towards the people ambushing around like a tide. .

　　 But the prepared church immediately organized the priests to chant chants, and at the end of the fringe team of the lost, the nun of the [Sun and Justice Church] wearing a white sacrificial robe gently shook the silver bell in her hand.

　　B-02-4-0423 [Mute Girl Holy Bell]!

　　 The sound waves produced by the bells are mixed with the chanting chants, forming a terrible hedge against the mental shock. The surging spirit and energy bombardment made the spirit directly act on reality. Several clearly visible cracks appeared on the flat ground, and the houses that hit the forefront collapsed directly into fly ash.

　　 The huge human figure above the building moved. Under the dim sky, the human figure made of unexplained black fog, set off by the halo of the back of the head, fingers the sky on the right and the ground on the left. With the words that mortals could not understand, the black mist like the waves of the sea spread from its body to the entire confusion.

"It's now!"

　　 The twelve demigods jumped up, and as the holy emblem flickered, the golden magic spells that were connected activated the silk thread in the hands of the twelve. There are many items with harsh usage conditions in this world, but even among them, B-03-4-6388 [Holy Demon Spider Web], which requires twelve demigods of different beliefs to activate, is extremely rare.

　　 The golden threads are connected together to cover the sky, and the black mist hits the spider web, but it only makes the silk thread itself emit smoke. Soon, the spider web wrapped the huge and terrifying human figure in it.

Chapter 1700 One Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Three

[Clean Realm] The mysterious locks in the shadowy wind roared, and the huge human figure entangled by the spider web roared. As the glass flew down the street like snowflakes, the spider web contracted further, even the unexplained children’s singing voices were weakened. A lot.

　　 A red spark lifted off from the end of the street, and the first group of thirty people immediately charged towards the building that had been half-collapsed because of the giant's struggle. In the short ten seconds when they started to move forward, at least fifty non-conflicting benign amplification effects, in the form of abilities, numbered items, rituals, and even spells, were blessed on them.

　　 Twenty-four demigods from the outside of Mizuo flew into the air to prevent accidents, while Jenkins, who stood on the roof of the distant roof, stood on the edge of the inside of Mizuo, and watched the battle start in full. The wind made his hood rustle, and his clothes fluttered in the wind.

　　 He squinted his eyes and looked forward in silence. Under the gloomy sky, if the various lights exploded like fireworks, the air distortion caused by the influence of the spirit on reality made the angular houses a little strange. The sound of the trembling heart continued to explode, and the black mist that fell from the sky like a leak from the Tianhe still contended with the overall strength of the mysterious lock.

　　 But the shining golden light rising from the ground is guiding people forward like the sun. Gradually, even around Jenkins who didn't do anything, a bright golden brilliance appeared. The light is not a phantom. On the contrary, the light floats with the wind, making Jenkins wearing a black hood like a golden flame burning around him. In the tail of the flame swaying sideways with the wind, the spirit of divine magic does not hide it. The catharsis to the surroundings.

The secrecy of this operation is very good. Although the [Scent Appreciation Committee] that was attacked has made a good counterattack in a hurry, but the Twelve Orthodox Church must fight the first battle at all costs. In the end, the resistance of the illegal organization was just like throwing stones into the river. Although a small splash was stirred up, the splash looked good, but it was of no use.

　　 It lasted 49 minutes from the formation of the puzzle to the end of the battle. Because of the existence of mystery, none of the cigarette dealers in that group managed to escape. Among them, the demigods who did not know where they came were shot dead on the spot by the old grave guards of the Church of the Dead, and most of the other gifters were captured. These people will be useful clues for further investigation of the Gear Artisan Society and the Tree House.

　　 It’s just very strange that although the formulas for those exotic tobaccos were found in the nests of cigarette dealers, no instructions for the use of this kind of tobacco were found. The captive gifters did not know what role the tobacco played after connecting people's dreams.

　　 Among them, only two even knew about the [Sin Karma Nightmare] invasion of reality that occurred in Bel Dylan. It seems that in this tobacco incident that has spread to the entire continent, this group of people is only responsible for production, sales and making money, and they are only involved in the follow-up matters, but they don't know the inside story.

　　 "So where did the tobacco formula come from?"

　　 At noon that day, Jenkins, who had been busy for a long time before resting, sat on Miss Bevanna’s sofa with the cat in his arms, and asked this question straightforwardly. The textual materials found in the dens of cigarette dealers that have not had time to be destroyed are now transferred to the Evergreen Forest for collective storage and analysis. Therefore, Jenkins, who has no plans to go out of the city, has not received the latest news.

　　 "The probability is not [Scent Appreciation Committee]'s own things, at least the principle part is not made by the committee itself."

　　 Ms. Bevanna sat behind her mahogany desk and said that the metal quadrant was placed in the corner of the table. I don't know why it appeared here.

　　Although the weather is hot now, this office is unusually cool. Jenkins doesn't mind staying here for a while.

　　 "Is it a tree house?"

　　 Jenkins asked, the cat he was stroking squinted and rolled over on his lap comfortably, exposing his belly.

"It's just possible. But from the text we found, we found a part of the [Children of the Mist] plan. I hope you remember this plan. What happened in Nolan last year, it looks like that group of people are also involved, just It was not discovered by us at that time."

　　 "Isn't this more proof that the possibility that the tobacco formula comes from the tree house has increased again?"

"It can be said like this."

　　Miss Bevanna nodded.

　　 In addition to the Child of the Mist Project, these people who are good at manipulating smoke also analyzed the fog around Nolan after entering Nolan. Because this was not important information, it was not destroyed immediately, and all were seized by the Orthodox Church.

　　 According to the above analysis, the homicides that have been frequently discovered recently in the night fog, and the so-called monsters in the fog that have been witnessed by people but have no evidence that they actually exist, are all real.

　　 Although the [Child of the Mist] plan was unsuccessfully launched twice, and even attracted six deities the second time, the plan eventually mobilized the fog around Nolan. The fog itself has extraordinary characteristics because of its influence on nature. After various rituals, the strange power infection of the evil gods, and the accumulation of sins at the end of the epoch, it finally showed its first extraordinary characteristics.

　　 "The creeper in the mist?"

　　 Jenkins took the report handed over by Miss Bevana. In addition to the text, the report also had a few blurry photos pasted with glue. The photo was probably taken at night. Jenkins can only tell the outline of the house, and the other parts are all dark and can't be seen clearly.

　　 "There is no need for any additional rituals or sacrifices. Over time, the fog outside Nolan will naturally produce extraordinary life forms composed entirely of dense fog?"

　　 He read the key information in the report.

"Yes, your senior sister has confirmed this. She said that she encountered a strange creature with the believer of the lie. We originally thought she was tricked by those liars, and that group of people could do this kind of thing. ."

　　 Ms. Bevanna said with a smile, because she is a good friend of Ms. Stillwell, so there is no need to worry about her being angry when you make a joke.

　　Because the [Scent Appreciation Committee] is a group of people who understand the characteristics of the fog best except for the believers of the [Hovering Mist], so they easily did the work that the Orthodox Church did not complete. The group investigated the dense fog of Nolan in detail, and finally came to the obvious result that even if nothing was done, it would turn into a catastrophe.
