Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 760
The old elf tremblingly said.
"What an honor is this?"
He said it again.
"Sorry, I wanted to ask you about when you can return to your hometown. But after giving me the gift, he left, and I didn't have time to ask."
Jenkins said with some embarrassment, feeling like a hairless vegetarian who forgot to ask about the life of the tortoise.
"No, don't care about my business. I'm just an ordinary wizard. Even if I stray into the material world, there is no need to use my business to delay the time of the great. Jenkins, you know what an honor this is, remember that time Go through it, it's something the elves can't imagine."
The elf was a little sluggish because of staying up all night, but now it is in a state of excitement. I am afraid there is no way to get him to sleep.
After talking about the experience of the treacherous world, Jenkins brought up the matter of the soul of the tree. The old elves knew the legend of the Four Kings Soul, but they didn't even know as many details as the Red Dragon. Just as the elf said, he is not a scholar, just an ordinary elf, unable to give Jenkins more help.
But regarding the world tree seed, the old elf has a lot to say. He was very happy that Jenkins finally got all three parts of the seed, and when he heard that Jenkins had not put them together rashly, he also agreed with Jenkins' caution.
"Of course you can’t put it together rashly. Just like the old professor you mentioned, the world tree seed represents the world tree. Once it is complete, the spirit of life that erupts is enough to destroy any living body. After all, Too many spirits of life is not the way of natural balance. If you want to put it together, it is recommended that you find a forest with very large vitality, or a wasteland with almost no vitality, which can effectively alleviate the explosion when the seeds are closed. The impact of the spirit of life."
"How about Evergreen Forest, that is..."
"I know it is really good there. But I still suggest that when you put the seeds together, you must not let any living animals stand nearby. You can endure the washing of the spirit of life, but others are sure No. Or set up a suitable ceremony to evacuate the erupting spirit, but this kind of ceremony is usually troublesome. I suggest you ask the Church of the Sage to help."
The old elf’s suggestion was very reasonable, and Jenkins nodded and said that he had written it down. He also talked about what happened when the Dragon Soul was awakened yesterday, hoping to find out the law of King Soul's awakening from this incident.
It is a pity that after discussing with the elf for a long time, there is no result, Jenkins can only stand up and leave with regret. But thinking of the evil spirit the old elf was encountering, he suggested that he take out the accidentally purchased pendant to take a look.
There is a black aura on the pendant, but in addition to being connected to the elf, the aura actually extends from the window to the distance. Jenkins thought about it for a while, and knew that there was another protagonist who was involved in the matter, the evil spirit, who was implicated by the magical aura.
PS: "Vegan without hair" refers to Tang Seng.
Chapter 1847 Chapter 1818 The Flying Bones
Now that he found the trace of the evil spirit, Jenkins immediately proposed to find the location of the evil spirit. Maybe he could destroy it in advance and end the incident.
No one has ever dealt with A-12-2-0965 like this before. After all, Jenkins has never heard that anyone can see aura like himself. He wasn't sure if this would be successful, but the old elf thought that he would definitely not be asleep tonight, so it would be better to go out for a while. Jenkins also wanted to help him, and the dragon soul's flames continued to provide him with vitality. It seemed that it would be okay to stay up all night, so the two of them agreed on a plan and went out together.
The direction indicated by the aura is not close. The apartment rented by the old elves is in the city center, and the final destination is the public cemetery on the outskirts of the city where the two of them have crossed half a city.
"Should it be unsurprising? The source of the evil spirits is the cemetery, not the nameless corpses that died in the alley. This is much simpler than I thought."
When the two crossed the fence, Jenkins said that he wanted to become a mouse, and he went straight through the gap in the fence. But after thinking about it, it was really troublesome to change clothes back and forth, so I turned it over and pulled the old elf over.
Tonight’s cemetery was also shrouded in gray fog. Although to some extent the two intruders were prevented from being discovered by the tomb guard, Jenkins felt that the fog seemed weird.
Before he could figure out what was weird, he found the position of the black aura. That is a cemetery near the northeast corner of the cemetery. It was the original address of the area before the expansion of the public cemetery, so the nearby tombs belonged to the older modern tombs.
The old elf bent down and brushed away the cause of death on the crooked tombstone:
"Died in the winter of 1672. The cause of death was a fish bone stuck in the throat."
"Is this the deceased nearly two hundred years ago?"
Jenkins also knelt down on one knee, pressed his hand on the ground and closed his eyes to feel it. He did not find any evil spirits, but the black aura did point here, indicating that the real object of A-12-2-0965 [Seventh Rebirth] was the corpse.
"Let's dig the tomb. I will bless the corpse and try to purify the power of the deceit. May his soul rest in peace."
Although it is not moral to dig other people’s graves, Jenkins and the old elves do it for noble reasons, so they have no psychological burden.
Without using Jenkins to draw a shovel, the old elf directly sowed the seeds and manipulated the vines to excavate. He didn't use life force to manipulate plants like Jenkins did, but instead used his own ability [activated vine].
Although the speed is a bit slower, but fortunately, they don't need to do it directly. They are happy to stand by and watch, and chat about the current situation by the way.
The fire in the south of the main continent of the material world, the old elves also heard from the newspaper, but he didn't expect it to become so serious now. Although he has not personally experienced the end of the era, he has also read those terrible records from the elves' documents.
Jing inspired himself is witnessing the history of the material world, but he is not disturbed by all this. He didn't have much life left, and he lived long enough, he didn't care when he died. I just hope I can die in my hometown, and I can pass on all the knowledge of the elves I have to Jenkins.
There were no accidents during the excavation, but the dilapidated coffin was dug out at the end, not the urn, which shows that the deceased was buried in traditional burial.
The old elf carefully manipulated the vines and lifted the top cover of the coffin. Because of the age, the coffin nails no longer work. Soon the two saw the skeleton remains, and Jenkins also confirmed with his eyes that this was indeed the target of the black aura.
"This is it, I will bless it, so that [Seven Days Rebirth] is over."
As he said, the elf nodded and took two steps back, standing on the edge of the grave and watching. Jenkins put the cat in his pocket on the grass on one side, let the confused cat stand by himself, and found a convenient standing position, bent down and tried to directly touch the skull of the skeleton with his hands.
But while he was bending over, the skeleton moved, and the yellow, almost shapeless bone claws grabbed Jenkins' wrist. Because of the existence of [hero], the skeleton's hand bones immediately emitted black smoke like burning.
Jenkins was surprised and looked at the skeleton, but he did not see the characteristic of the undead, that is, the blue soul fire.
"At this time, the undead has recovered? Or is this the effect of [Seventh Rebirth]?"
was grabbed with his right hand, and his left hand also grabbed the skeleton's hand bones. Unexpectedly, the remaining part of the corpse sprang directly out of the tomb. The skeleton without an arm jumped into the sky like flying, and when Jenkins jumped out of the tomb, he flew into the distance.
"what happened?"
The elf was surprised.
"I don't know, catch up!"
too late to fill the tomb, the two chased in the direction where the skeleton disappeared in the sky. Still relying on the pendant bought by the elves, I finally saw the skeleton land in a corner of the cemetery.
There are steam pipes exposed on the ground, and the surface of the rusty pipes is covered with dirty and heavy mud. The paint words "Good Luck Steam Pipe Company" can be vaguely seen, and the skeleton has opened his left arm and is about to carry it on.
"Damn~ How come you have such bad luck?"
Jenkins put on the bomb ring and waved at the place. The explosion air sent the skeletons flying in mid-air, and the sound spread far in the night sky.
The old elf knelt on one knee, spreading his fingers on the grass. The wild grass that grows wildly rushes into the sky and binds the fallen skeletons.
Jenkins did not dare to delay, and hugged the skull forward. The green light representing the life force in his body radiated outwards, and the skeleton could not break free under the shackles of the weeds and Jenkins, and finally disappeared a little bit by the force of life.
It's just that the black aura that represents the deceit did not disappear because of this. Some nervous Jenkins shouted loudly for the elf to throw away the pendant.
The pendant lifted into the sky under the black light visible to the naked eye. As the black mist spread from the pendant, the owner of the corpse, the evil spirit that appeared in the fairy dream finally appeared.
"You go first, I will settle the matter here."
Seeing the light of the gravekeeper's hut in the distance, Jenkins knew that the sound made here had finally attracted attention.
"Are you okay by yourself?"
The elf is still a little worried.
"I am not alone. Although it is wrong to break in at midnight, the identity of Jenkins Williams is still very useful. To deal with evil spirits, the grave guard is more professional than us, don't worry."
"Okay, I'll just wait around."
said, pressing the top of his head with a hat covering his ears. Hurriedly ran into the distance.
Jenkins stepped back and watched the evil spirit with black aura slowly appear, and the sound of footsteps behind him gradually approached.
The tomb guard in charge of this cemetery was a gray-haired old man. Surprisingly, he recognized Jenkins at once.
Although he was surprised by the appearance of the evil spirit, he was even more surprised when he felt the spiritual pollution peculiar to the trick. But the old grave guard is also experienced, and first asked Jenkins to temporarily restrain the evil spirit so that it would not leave the cemetery. Then a signal flare was fired at the sky, and the smell of the flame ignited so much that the cat who came here sneezed.
But the flare that slanted and exploded quickly took effect. In less than three minutes, Jenkins even simply used [Life Origin] to deal with the evil spirits for a while, a grave guard led by a demigod. The team arrived.
"Why so fast?"
Jenkins asked the old grave guard in surprise.
"This is not a peaceful age anymore. Those of us who are guarding the corpse know very well that every accident that occurs can lead to even greater accidents."
The old grave guard who was holding his shovel talked and retreated with Jenkins, watching the demigod and his team do it. This kind-looking old man suddenly frowned, lowered his head and asked again:
"Sorry, what is the osteotomy you are holding?"
"Oh, I wanted to solve the [Seven Days Rebirth] issue by myself, so I dug up the corpse. I didn't expect that even blowing up the corpse would be useless, and it also attracted evil spirits."
Jenkins said embarrassedly, grabbed the bone of the right arm, and tried to call the fire of gift to burn it.
But at this moment, billowing black smoke came straight from the battle in the distance, and all penetrated into the bones in Jenkins' hands. Enduring the discomfort, Jenkins didn't let go, and then he was taken to the sky by the bones.
The green spirit of life in his hand can't work on the bones, and it's dealing with the black smoke that wraps the bones. Jenkins could only be taken by it to the heights of the night sky, and then flew towards the western coastline.
The chocolate that was left on the ground, the grave guards who didn't know what happened, and the old elves hiding outside the cemetery, all could only raise their heads and watch Jenkins go away in the air, feeling a headache for the current situation.
The mechanized corpse curse itself is a trick, but there is no serial number for the time being. After superimposing the same tricky [Seven Days Rebirth], it caused the current result. When Jenkins just took off, he didn't know where he was going to be taken, so he could only use fire, freezing and other methods to continuously attack the hand bones in vain.
But the inexplicable black smoke is protecting it, and the deceit cannot be easily destroyed. Maybe the original arm was just a human skeleton infested by the power of a deceit, but after all sorts of mistakes, it is really hard to say what it is at this time.
The coastline appeared ahead, and the sound of waves hitting the embankment reminded Jenkins where he was at this time.
I could see that the beach was covered by dense fog, the density of the fog was almost ten times that of the city. But a huge black shadow can be seen standing in the depths of the fog, and there are also the shadows of the Nolan Police Department and the temporary wooden buildings that blocked the view from the church.
In the moonlight, the mechanical structure of the hazy giant reflects bright light. The sense of order and the arrangement of chaos appear together in a creation.
Chapter 1848 Chapter 1819 The Second Persuasion
The mechanical gear giant in the thick fog was the first time Jenkins fought the pirate king "Thief" Divo a few months ago. After Divo used the craftsmanship of the Gear Artisan to activate the mechanical power system of a whole ship Wonders of creation.
The church temporarily housed it here, and finally ushered in Jenkins again on this ordinary night.
Regarding the Pirate King Thief Divo, there is actually another incident left. Jenkins briefly saw the future in the art gallery, and the future self reminded himself to kill Divo before a certain date.
It was later proved that the mechanical giant activated by Divo using the technology of the Gear Craftsman Society was not the purpose of the craftsman’s creation itself. Divo discovered the new power of mechanical gearing by himself. This allowed Jenkins to kill Divo in order to prevent Divo's new ideas from being passed on to the Craftsmen's Association as the two parties further contact, and then be learned by the difference engine.
Jenkins is not very clear about the consequences if this impossible thing happens. But now he understands very well that once the skeletal remains in his hand fuse with the mechanical giant, the mechanical giant who has stopped moving will have the power of two kinds of tricks, [Seventh Rebirth] and [Curse of Corpse Mechanization], and a brand new trick is born. He couldn't think of how strong things were.
But all attempts to destroy those bones were blocked by the black mist that wrapped the arms. Seeing that the flying altitude has been reduced, Jenkins's heart is stunned, chanting the ancient spell, and launching an ability that has never been used seriously:
【Bone Sacrifice】
An unfolding light gray transparent ceremonial array appeared out of thin air. As the black mist and hand bones were all swallowed by the ceremonial array, Jenkins without support also fell from the air.
He dexterously landed on the head of the gear machinery giant, and then looked up at the moonlit night, as the hand bones and black fog disappeared, an ugly, huge white bone undead like a wheel fell on the beach.
In fact, it is indeed a round wheel, but there are densely packed bone spurs on the outer ring, and a bone ball of many skulls in the center of the many spokes. After it fell, it was embedded in the soft sand, almost half the height of the mechanical giant.
Although it looks still, Jenkins can feel his control over it. This is an undead servant summoned by sacrifice. Jenkins cannot be dismissed freely. As long as there is no battle damage, this thing will probably not disappear until sunrise.
"It's finally over."
Jenkins breathed a sigh of relief and whispered while standing on top of the giant's head. He coughed because of the smell in the air. He was about to say hello to the church gifters who were monitoring and controlling the containment nearby. By the way, he asked about the abnormal density of gray fog here. what's going on.
But when I looked around at this time, I couldn't see the shadow of the coast when I was in the air. Although there is a sandy beach near the giant mechanical giant and the bone gear, looking from a distance, there are actually some dilapidated old buildings standing in the fog in all directions.
The street spreads out in all directions around the cog giant, row upon row of buildings, and you can even vaguely see the towering chimneys in the distance. It's just that there is no smoke from the chimneys, no lights in all the buildings, and no signs of human activity as far as the eyes can be seen.
was supposed to be the location of the coast, wharf, and warehouse, but now it is occupied by the town. No matter where it is, it can't be Nolan here.
As of now, tonight’s "adventure" is already very exciting. It is not that Jenkins has no experience of straying into a strange place like this, so he is not panicked, but wants to jump off the mechanical giant to see the situation. But before he could do anything, he felt the "big guy" under his feet move.
"Did the gear giant live?"
He was surprised secretly, but he didn't panic, pulling the giant wheel of bones inlaid on the ground, and at the same time he called out his cane, held the upper end with both hands, and pressed it down hard.
With a long and sour sound of "ding~", the lower end of the cane under the control of the life force "roots and sprouts", like tentacles swelling outward, spreading from the top of the mechanical giant's head to the whole body.
The giant did not struggle, nor did he raise his hand to slap the "little mouse" on his forehead. As the steam emerged from the gap in the giant's body, the sound of "Zi~" and the white mist of steam spread to the surroundings. The giant spoke, and Jenkins spoke in a familiar tone:
"Sage son of the sage, lucky guy favored by the world tree, I want to make a deal with you."
Although he spoke a lot more coherently, it was clear that this was the differential engine deep in the ground. Jenkins looked down at the ground. As expected, some iron-gray metal hexagonal prisms popped out from under the sand. The pillars were connected to metal gear tentacles. Those tentacles spread upward from the gear giant's feet, and touched Jenkins' vines at the position of the giant's chest.
Both are like morning glory vines crawling all over the wall, and it is clear that the vine tentacles growing from Jenkins's cane are downwind. Even if this can be explained as the confrontation on the surface of the metal gear giant's body, the power of the gear itself takes the advantage. But now Jenkins is manipulating the body, and the body of the differential engine is still deep underground, and the power used to the ground is absolutely incomplete.
So this shows once again that Jenkins, who is in a mortal state, is definitely not the opponent of the difference engine.
"What deal?"
he asked calmly, trying his best to control the output of the cane and the spirit of life.
"Help me, the land of steel, the empire of gears..."
is not much different from what he said to the lie believer last time. It seems that the other party knows the current status of the savior, and after persuading the lie believer to be fruitless, he finds Jenkins from the "other camp".
"Stop dreaming, I am a half-elf, the blesser of the spirit of life, do you think I will help the power of machinery?"
"But you also control death, and life is not unique to you."
"I heard about your conversation with the lie believer. Since those people disagree, I will not agree. No matter what you do, you are doomed to fail."
He said, leaning on the cane with one hand, and touching the holy silver vial with the potion in his pocket with the other. Fortunately, I left the chocolate in the cemetery just now, otherwise it would be easy to accidentally hurt it now.
The irritating metal voice did not say "uncooperative, die" this time, and the metal tentacles that kept moving upward plunged directly into the gaps in the gear giant's watch. As more and more scorching steam spurted out, the giant raised his hand and patted his head amidst the squeezing sound of sour metal.
