Professor Burns's eyes twitched a few times, and he naturally understood that the burning candle could not be kept in his pocket forever. The young man in front of him either has some kind of rare storage means, or the candle is...

　　 I think of the "a hundred-year-old" award from the Holy See that Captain Binxi occasionally revealed a few days ago.

　　 "Is it him?"

　　 Professor Burns felt that he understood something.

　　 "If this is the case, that would be great. Don't worry, I won't reveal your methods."

　　 As he spoke, a relieved expression appeared on his face, as if Jenkins had just done something big.

　　 Jenkins secretly worried about whether the professor had some mental problems under the stimulation of great grief and joy.

　　 Professor Burns prepared a lot of things underground, and the two used rope to tie the candle firmly to the front end of the bamboo pole. Jenkins waved up and down a few times, and found that the fire light hadn't danced, so he carefully inserted the candle in.

　　 The flame has always been so weak, but there is no sign of it going out.

　　 The two men were overjoyed and stretched out their heads to look at the crack of the door. They saw that there was a space smaller than an ordinary family bathroom, surrounded by stone walls. A green weird plant clings to the half wall facing the door, crawling out like a python. From the appearance, it looks very much like a creeper, but a creeper will never climb so fast.

"What do you see?"

　　 Jenkins asked first.

　　 "Small space, a few boxes, plants climbing outwards."

Professor 　　's answer is very concise.

　　 "I saw it too, so this is not an illusion?"

　　 Before Jenkins's voice had finished, the fastest vine rushed out of the gate.

　　 The front part of the vine shrank back a few inches, then suddenly rushed forward, and the whole plant rose into the air.

　　 Professor 　　 grabbed Jenkins's shoulder with his hand and pulled him aside with force. With a wave of the umbrella in his hand, the sound of the sonic boom made dust fall on the stone wall above his head.

　　 The vine was directly beaten into two stages. The first stage lost its vitality, and the latter stage was still crawling, but it was languishing a lot.

　　 "How powerful is the professor?"

　　 Jenkins sighed in his heart, and hurriedly aimed the candle flame on the bamboo pole at the vines that kept crawling out of the door, but couldn't ignite it at all.

　　 "The plant is weak, how can it not burn?"

　　 "I remember, this is a special plant that can emit hallucinogenic powder. It is a material often used by phantom abilities! It grows underground and is sensitive to sound. It is 30 years old and has a similar appearance..."

　　 Professor Burns explained the knowledge while continuously swinging the umbrella. The sound of breaking through the air was continuous, and the vines gushing from the cracks in the door were broken into two pieces one by one. Jenkins is now very grateful that this door can't be fully opened, otherwise the two will have already run away.

　　 "What is it afraid of?"

"At low temperature, it will dormant under low temperature conditions, and then the roots can be dug out from the cracks. This is a good material. The powder after the rhizome is crushed is in grains (English unit, 1 grain is about 64.8 mg) selling!"

　　 Jenkins untied some of his body restraints and threw it aside. He whispered to the professor to step away, then activated the red light spot in front of him, and slammed his fist on the gushing plant continuously.

　　 The touch of these plants is very bad, like a ball of marshmallows that move. The light in the dark room is very poor. Jenkins can't see whether the plants are freezing, but can clearly feel that their activity trend is slowing down and the indoor temperature is dropping.

　　 Professor 　　 had already walked around Jenkins's side, holding the umbrella in both hands and hitting it down. The sound of the ice cracking was very obvious.

　　 "I'm going in."

　　 Jenkins reminded the professor on the side that his feet in black boots kicked away the icy debris in front of him, and one stepped into the door.

　　 In order to prevent the lack of oxygen, try to hold your breath. There are things moving in all directions, and the light behind you is getting bigger and bigger, and the professor also followed up.

　　 Leaning on the door to prevent the enemy from attacking his stomach and back, Jenkins cooperated with the professor, shaking his fists one by one and the other with an umbrella. They didn't find the plant rhizomes in the cracks in the rock until the spirit in the body was almost consumed.

　　Jenkins didn't use his hands. The professor digs into the stone with his right hand claws, just like grabbing a piece of tofu, and pulling out most of the green rhizome in the gap. After several consecutive times, no plants moved anymore.

　　 Without saying a word, the professor grabbed Jenkins by the sleeve and directly dragged him outside the door.

　　 "Ha~ha~"

He gasped violently, and then told Jenkins: "Like this long-term confined space, there are usually some undetectable poisonous gases. These poisonous gases will quickly make people breathe and die. After entering this kind of place, Be sure to put the ignited flame in first. If the poison gas is present, the flame will soon go out."

　　 Jenkins nodded, and understood in his heart that the chemists in this world still haven't discovered the existence of oxygen.

　　 The two waited for a long time outside the door, until they put the bamboo pole with the kerosene lamp into it again and timed it with a pocket watch. After the flame burned normally for a minute, they each walked in with a kerosene lamp.

　　 At this time, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

　　The leather boots stepped on the ground, arousing a layer of floating dust. Jenkins has put on his coat again, and the use of [Frost Fist] makes the space inside the door at least 5 degrees cooler than the space outside the door.

　　 Since the space is small, the contents inside are clear at a glance. Directly facing the door are two large boxes, but nothing else.

　　 Out of cautious consideration, the two stood far away, and once again stabbed one of the boxes with a bamboo pole.

　　 Nothing happened.

　　 used a bamboo pole to fiddle with a very conspicuous big lock, the lock immediately fell to the ground, Jenkins and Professor Burns took a step back tacitly.

　　 Still nothing happened.

Pick up the lid of the box with a bamboo pole, and then throw in the charms [Toxin Identification], [Fouling Purification], [Danger Warning], [Shadow Prediction] (this is the most expensive), etc., and just listen to a few metallic sounds. The sound of falling came from the box.

　　 Still nothing happened.

　　 The two sighed in relief, smiled at each other and tidied their clothes, then held up the kerosene lamp and stretched their heads to look inside the box.

　　The thickness of the box is amazing, so the internal space is not too big.

Chapter 156 Chapter 152 Arrogant Shield

　　 The light from the two kerosene lamps can already illuminate the inside of the box.

　　 Part of the shadow was covered by a mottled stone slab. The professor put on his gloves and reached out to touch it, and that corner immediately turned into stone dust. Even if there is no air flow here, thousands of years of time have brought these stones to the end of their existence.

Professor 　　 did not hesitate, reached out his hand and took out a small box from his pocket, opened it and took out the gold nuggets embedded in the inner lining.

　　 Putting the gold nugget in his hand, the palm of his hand was slightly tilted, and the gold nugget fell on the slate.

　　Ding~

　　 There seemed to be a crisp bell ringing above my head, and when I looked down again, the stone slab had been turned into pure gold.

　　 "Sure enough!"

Professor 　　 was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to clip the gold plate out. Only he can complete this action, and Jenkins can't imagine how heavy this thing is.

　　 They also did not forget to check the box itself. After erasing the black coating that was deliberately painted on the surface, it was actually gold. Although not very pure, in terms of size, the value of this box can exceed 200 pounds!

　　 The two enthusiastically opened the second box, which was also gold, and inside the box was a stone slab of the same size.

"give."

　　 Jenkins said nothing, tore off a pocket sewn on the underwear, and handed his gold nugget to the professor.

　　 "I will compensate you!"

Professor 　　 did not refuse.

　　 "No, but I hope you can share the results of your research on these two slabs with me. Professor, in fact, I have a deep interest in the mystery of the end of the era."

　　 "I did not read you wrong, Jenkins, you are really a very pious believer and an excellent student. I heard Oliver say that your mathematics and literary attainments are not bad, and the sages really prefer you."

While sighing, Professor 　　 used Jenkins' gold nuggets to turn the last slab into gold, and then carefully carried it out of the box.

　　 "It's all unrecognized characters, which is really great!"

　　 Professor Burns looked like a child who had gotten candy, with a wonderful expression on his face.

　　 "This is really, thank you sage, and may your brilliance illuminate my way forward!"

　　 He prayed loudly and kept drawing the holy emblem on his chest.

　　 Having made a fortune, Jenkins stopped stroking the box, summoned the golden ring of spirituality and kissed it, then opened the real eye and scanned the surrounding rock walls.

　　 In the rock behind the box, a round object emitting a red light appeared.

　　 "Sure enough, this kind of guy who likes to manipulate the treasure room will never forget to hide something in the treasure room."

　　 Jenkins laughed, the treasure box itself was gold, and then buried something in the rock wall. Come to think of it, the gentleman who set up the treasure room thousands of years ago also had a certain nasty taste.

　　 When the professor finished praying, Jenkins patted him on the shoulder:

　　 "Professor, can I trouble you to dig up this place?"

　　 While talking, he took out the silver ceremonial dagger he carried from the pocket inside the coat and carved a small cross on the rock.

"no problem."

Professor 　　 didn't ask why, he stood up, activated his abilities again, and claws his hands toward the rock. In a few moments, it seemed that something happened.

　　 The two were worried about destroying the things inside, or that there were delicate mechanisms in the rock wall. They used a small brush and a screwdriver to use a little bit of stone debris, and finally found a buckler embedded in the wall.

　　 This shield is not like a metal material, on the contrary, it is more like a wooden shield with a leather coat. In the center of the shield, the flying griffin-shaped badge is rich in color and reflects dim light.

　　 In the light of the swaying kerosene lamp, this shield embedded in the cracks in the rock looks strangely mysterious.

　　 "Do you know each other?"

　　 Jenkins can be sure that this is a [extraordinary] item belonging to the B series, but he has not read enough information to recognize what it is. But the professor is different. After he became a scribe, because of the particularity of his job, he became a researcher in the church to study special items, that is, those professionals who test the characteristics of confiscated items.

　　 They have access to a lot of information every day, and they are familiar with the items that have been recorded, so they must know what this is better than Jenkins.

　　 "B-09-4-2912, [Arrogant Shield]?"

Professor 　　 said uncertainly, and then approached the rock wall with the kerosene lamp, but did not dare to touch it.

　　 "It really seems to be it."

"what's it for?"

　　 Jenkins asked softly behind the old man, this is the first time he has encountered a special item of armor type.

"In addition to its own shielding effect, anyone who touches it will become arrogant. And the longer the contact time, the higher the level of arrogance. A secret record shows that if you continuously touch this thing for more than 24 hours , The holder will have the courage to charge towards the saints naked with a shield."

"that's all?"

　　 Jenkins asked incredulously, is the malice too serious?

"No, the most important thing is that the nine items from B-09-4-2911 to B-09-4-2919 all have the suffix "arrogance". If the nine items are put together, they will form one Special gift, C-09-3-0099, [Armor of Courage]. I can’t find the information about this item, I can only know the name, but I think it should be very powerful."

　　 He looked at the shield with a heavy face, and there was a strong sense of incredibleness in his eyes.

　　 "The more armor parts you hold individually, the stronger your arrogance. But nine pieces are one..."

　　 "A lot of parts of the armor should be lost, right? How many pieces can you find?"

　　 Jenkins asked, according to the routine in the knight novel, it should be very troublesome to get this kind of thing together.

　　 "This is the ninth piece, and the other eight pieces are in the [Sun and Justice] church."

　　 Professor turned his head, his face was heavy, Jenkins was stunned.

　　 This shield is important, but neither Jenkins nor the professor knows how to deal with it. If you stay in the hands of anyone, you may bring disasters.

　　 They discussed briefly, and then they didn't take anything. After blocking the entrance, the same road quickly returned to the city, waking up the old man at four o'clock in the morning.

　　 The old man in pajamas was originally angry at the two people's behavior that they didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but he heard about the shield and understood the importance of the matter.

　　 Finally, the old man and the professor who had changed their clothes returned to the underground space to deal with the shield, and Jenkins went home to sleep.

　　 After all, in terms of knowledge, he is no better than the father and the professor, and in terms of force, he is still no better than the father and the professor.

　　 Let's take a day off. The original plan to travel with the father after dawn has also been postponed.

Chapter 157 Chapter 153 Reading Newspaper

　　 Chocolate was quietly lying on his bed to rest when Jenkins came home. Jenkins smiled relievedly, thinking on a whim, wanting to try to dream about a cat, what would happen. After all, after he got that ability, he only used it to get out of his body and ignored its original function.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate's ears flicked a few times, and then his eyes slowly opened. Seeing Jenkins, he jumped into his arms affectionately, and carefully rubbed his head against Jenkins's arm.

　　 "Forget it, go to sleep."

　　 sighed and fell asleep with the cat in his arms.

　　 This night, I slept until ten o'clock in the morning.

　　 Nothing happened today. Jenkins slowly took the newspaper from the door in his pajamas and slippers, and made breakfast for the cat and himself before sitting down.
