Whether it is in the eyes of chocolate or Alexia, there is nothing on the paper, but Jenkins takes it seriously:

　　 "All the information in that core has been recorded here."

　　 He said, and then waved his hand to call out the bronze mechanical flying bird from the book.

　　 Chocolate is very tired of pets approaching Jenkins, but does not hate this bird because it knows that this bird is not a living thing at all:

　　 "Look, this mechanical bird has also become more refined, do you see the runes on its wings?"

　　 Jenkins said, controlling it to fly:

"Now I have a certain degree of visual sharing with it. It is not a complete sharing, only blurry fragments can be seen. Moreover, the ability of [Tooling] allows me to perceive the creation of a differential machine within a certain range. You know Yes, even though they are both the creation of machinery and gear technology, the theory of the difference engine is very different from the principle of the mechanical church.

　　 integrates the core of its abandonment, and I can perceive the traces of those unique creations. "

　　 said, closing his eyes and letting the spirit spread all around:

　　 "At least near St. George Street, there is no eyeliner for the differential machine."

　　 "It was just hit hard by the **** of lies in the afternoon, how could it come to test it so quickly?"

　　 Alexia said.

　　 In addition to the core, there is another unexpected gain today, that is, the "treasure" found by the three Mr. Hoods. It was this treasure that no one had seen before, but it triggered the first frontal battle between the God of Lies and the differential engine in the afternoon.

　　 Although there were many accidents in the afternoon, in the end Hathaway took the chocolate and brought the "treasure" back to her home on St. George Street.

After 　　 went home, she was troubled by Jenkins' identity problem, and she didn't even bother to check the contents of the bronze box. Therefore, no one knew what was inside the box before Jenkins looked at it.

　　 Jenkins called Hathaway and opened it with Alexia. Under the light of the gas lamp, lying in the box was a gear.

　　 is very simple and unpretentious, referring directly to the foundation of the mechanical structure of this era. Only items of this level can cause the differential engine to venture out of the ground with its core while attracting the attention of Jenkins.

　　 The treasure at this time has not had the fascinating attraction that had just been found when the small statue was broken by the three of Hathaway. It lay plainly in the box, and only after Jenkins touched it did Jenkins know its role.

　　 This is quite simple and not fancy ability, this gear can replace any gear. No matter what kind of machinery, as long as the gear is missing, then this gear will definitely be able to replace it.

　　 Although it sounds useless, this effect shows that this gear can be regarded as the incarnation of the concept of "gear".

Perhaps for ordinary people, what Jenkins is holding at this time is just a "universal part", but for the existence of a purely mechanical structure such as a differential engine, incorporating this gear into itself will enhance itself from the concept. , Changing the concept of "gear" from an individual to a whole, and even have the opportunity to make the difference engine and the **** believed by the gear craftsman's club compete for the priesthood.

　　 Of course, it is only possible. The difference engine will not provoke a **** to be hostile to him in vain at this time, especially since the **** has nothing to say about the cooperation between the believer and himself.

　　 But in any case, this gear is of great significance to the differential engine, even more significant than the wrench that can repair it.

　　 For Jenkins, whether he is soul or body, he has an extraordinary aspect to mechanical power. This gear, which represents the "gear", is also an important help for him to further advance on the road of machinery.

　　 Leaving this gear will only give the differential engine another chance to seize it, so Jenkins knows that he must destroy or "use" it as soon as possible.

"But why is this kind of thing appearing in Nolan so coincidentally at this time? Could it be that the world itself is also pushing the end of this era? Otherwise, there is no reason. Such a rare thing happened so coincidentally between me and the difference machine. Appeared in the areas where they all appeared."

　　 "Then what do you want to use it for?"

　　 Alexia asked, her path is mathematics, and Hathaway is a gifter born under the music system, and has no demand for this gear. Not to mention Jessica, Dolores, and Sigrid, the girls around Jenkins don’t need this gear.

　　 "I'm thinking about something..."

　　 Jenkins pondered for a moment, and then said again about the possible confounds that Jessica and Miss Magic experienced together. Two smart ladies immediately understood his thoughts:

　　 "Do you want to make a pistol used by the wanted criminal Williams?"

　　A world where no stranger will come. Jenkins Williams became a member of the Gear Craftsman's Association twice and held the same pistol both times. The bullet fired by that gun can even smash the space barrier for a short time after shooting.

　　 The space barriers of the material world are extremely solid. Except for the ability of [Unicorn Summon], even the barrels protruding from the brass door in the afternoon cannot break the space barriers.

　　 Jenkins touched the gun twice, [Machinemaker] let him fully understand its internal structure. At the same time, although the opponent is different from himself, the combination of life and mechanical power is something Jenkins can also do.

Therefore, with this gear in hand, coupled with the knowledge derived from the difference engine just obtained today, and finally with the alchemy materials left by the family for several epochs left by the family, copying the pistol is not completely impossible things.

　　 "You don't want to do this?"

　　 Alexia, who is quite familiar with Jenkins's way of thinking, said what Jenkins thought.

　　 "Yes, I don't want to do this. Although it is ridiculous to say that, I think there is a big difference between me and him. Since there is such a difference, it is best not to let both parties have more in common."

　　 In the understanding of Hathaway on the side, this sentence means that Jenkins is worried that he will be contaminated with the fate of Jenkins who will not appear. But Chocolate understands better. Jenkins just doesn't want to have even the slightest connection with the original Jenkins. He has been trying to maintain his independence, but he was originally independent.

　　 "Then what do you want to use it for?"

　　 Hathaway asked again.

　　 Jenkins thought for a while, lifted his right hand upwards, and called out the miner's lamp that represented [Mechanical Light]. Whether you look up close or far away, this is a pretty exquisite work of art.

　　 "I think, since the core just now can be absorbed by [Toolmaker]'s ability, can this be absorbed by this miner's lamp?"

　　 He shook the gear in his left hand.

　　 "Try it quickly."

　　 Alexia urged, and even the cat looked over, and it had not considered this possibility.

　　 "But the core you mentioned has a functional overlap with your ability itself. Both of them record knowledge, so there is the possibility of fusion. What is the connection between this gear and this light?"

　　 Hathaway has never seen Jenkins use this ability with his own eyes, but has heard of some from the rumors. Therefore, even though the appearance of the miner’s lamp is a patchwork of countless small metal parts, the miner’s lamp is still not connected with the gear.

"look."

　　 said, the light that controlled the miner’s lamp shone toward the pen holder on the desk, and the pen holder was scattered like a pile of sand in a cone-shaped pile in front of the three people and one cat.

　　 Hathaway approached only to realize that it was not sand but tiny gears.

　　 "Theoretically, I can decompose any object into such gears."

　　 Jenkins nodded, and then under the gaze of Hathaway and Alexia, he attached the gear to the surface of the miner’s lamp.

　　 Nothing happened.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate's front paws stretched forward, and the waist arched and stretched out.

　　 "Sorry, I think so."

　　 said, he carefully opened the lampshade of the miner's lamp that he had never opened before, and then placed the gear in the center of the light inside the lamp.

Chapter 1951 The first thousand nine hundred and twenty-two

　　 Jenkins released his hand cautiously, and the gear was suspended in the silver-blue light.

　　 Pull out his hand, and then close the lamp cover. Suddenly, light burst out from the inside of the lamp, engulfing all corners of the room. But this was only a moment, and it did not cause harm to objects, people or cats.

　　 "It looks like it succeeded."

　　 After the light disappeared, Jenkins who instinctively hid the chocolate in the inner pocket of his jacket let out a sigh of relief.

　　 "How is it, has the ability changed?"

　　 Alexia blinked her eyes and asked, seeing the chocolate sticking out of Jenkins's chest and looking around, pretending not to see it.

　　 "Wait a minute, let me take a look... Yes, the name of the ability has not changed, but... let me demonstrate it."

　　 He got up and took out another pen holder from the cardboard box on the top of the bookshelf-he usually prepared two sets of stationery, and then irradiated it with a miner's lamp as before.

　　 This time the pen holder is still broken down into a pile of gears, but this time the gears have become a lot bigger.

　　 "In other words, you can now control the size of the gears that are broken down at will?"

　　Alixia twisted one of them and asked, Hathaway also picked up one:

　　 "But it's also very small. With so many gears, it's still difficult to put them back together. Couldn't it be bigger? Maybe we can try again. The gears put back together may be able to make the item back to its original shape."

　　 "Although the size of the gear can be controlled, it is not unlimited."

　　 Jenkins shook his head regretfully, but he soon had an idea.

　　 got up and walked out of the room, and soon returned with a toothbrush bristles:

"In the past, small gears were formed according to the volume ratio of the decomposed object. No matter how small the decomposed object, the number of gears formed would be tens of thousands. After absorbing the gear just now, the volume of the decomposed gear became one. The upper limit value, I can control the volume of the decomposed gear, the value change below the upper limit value and the volume of the object itself. Of course, if it is an irregular object, the upper limit will be very low, but the upper limit of the regular object is very high, which is also In order to be able to make every detail form a gear."

　　 "So you have to decompose a smaller regular object into larger gears."

　　 Hathaway immediately understood what he meant.

Jenkins nodded, first "drew" the paint to dye the toothbrush bristles into a colorful look, then lifted the miner's lamp and broke it down into more than a hundred tiny gears that are barely visible, and then dialed it with a toothpick, according to the color The distribution allows them to be put together again.

　　 Sure enough, when all the teeth snapped together, the combination of gears became the same toothbrush bristles just now.

　　 Although the new changes in [Mechanical Light] have not seen any usefulness for the time being, Jenkins has already shown a happy smile because of this scene.

　　 The last harvest today comes from the divinity that has been "burned". The divinity was acquired from the circle not long ago, and the original owner was of course the [closed circle]. Therefore, the incomplete knowledge gained after using the divine nature is mostly related to the domain of this ruler.

　　The realm of time has always been taboo, and the existing abilities and rituals related to time in the material world may add up to less than a hundred. Most of these are incomplete, and for the complete few, almost every one of them has to pay a huge price to use.

　　 Dad is also quite aware of the horror of time, so he emphasized this point many times when he taught Jenkins. Jenkins has not obtained any time-related mystery and transcendence from his father and the church. This is probably the first time he has been able to personally experience the power of time in this world and how it works.

　　, under the pretext that he was going to the bathroom, Jenkins held on to his sink, closed his eyes and faced the mirror. The mind fell to the lowest point of the sea of ​​mind, and at the bottom of the sea of ​​mind, gleaming golden light spots were scattered scattered.

　　 Jenkins used consciousness to interpret them, and stood motionless for ten minutes. Taking advantage of Jenkins's inability to perceive the outside world, Chocolate "walked" his four short legs from the sink to the top of his head like stepping on an invisible ladder in the air, and then lay there with peace of mind.

　　 After Jenkins opened his eyes, he immediately felt the heavy weight on his head. Subconsciously thinking that it was standing for too long that mushrooms grew on the top of his head, and then realizing that it was too silly to think so, he raised his hand to pull the cat off the top of his head, and then walked out of the bathroom with it.

　　 The knowledge obtained this time is extremely fragmented, it seems that the one who provides the divinity, consciously prevents Jenkins from peeping too many time-related mysteries.

　　 But it is not without any gains, there is no complete ability, he just obtained a complete time-related ritual-[Twelve Righteous Gods Please Divine Art].

　　 The year and December defined by the material world correspond to the twelve righteous gods. Therefore, in some occasions, directly using the month to address Zhengshen is also an allowed way of addressing.

　　The month is the embodiment of time, so time is associated with the twelve righteous gods.

　　 This ritual does not directly call the gods to appear in the material world, but uses the ritual to call the gods' gaze. The twelve churches each have a way to call the gods to watch, but those magic ceremonies must be used by believers, and [Twelve Righteous Gods Request Magic] allows people of any faith to directly call the gods when the ritual conditions are met. Gaze.

The ceremony is quite complicated, excluding a few materials that Jenkins has not even heard of. The core materials are [symbols corresponding to the month] [symbols corresponding to the gods] [symbols corresponding to the time] and [symbols for the gods] Sacrifice].

　　Because it is the call of non-believers, the weight of the sacrifice is definitely not like Jenkins or other sage believers who use a small piece of silver to sacrifice, so that the sage’s eyes can be cast.

　　 The above four core materials are not fixed materials, and need to be selected according to different years and times, even related to the beliefs and birth time of the ritual users.

　　 But more importantly, once this ceremony is successful, a price must be paid. And considering that the ceremony accurately calls the gods to watch, it is also acceptable at a price.

　　The content of the price is that in the rest of the life, all the months of the righteous gods called in the ceremony must recite not less than half an hour of the righteous gods in the early morning of each day. And, in these months, the users of the ceremony have spent 12 times as much time.

　　 It is not that the original thirty days has been changed into three hundred and sixty days, but the simple lifespan passing speed has become twelve times the original.

For example, if a pagan uses [Twelve Righteous Gods Request Divine Art] to call a sage, then as long as he still exists in the material world, whether he is alive or turned into an undead, as long as the soul is still him, then it must be every year Recite the classics during the 30 days in October, and endure the cost of one month old and one year old.

　　【Twelve Righteous Gods Request Magic】can only be used twelve times, once a month. But if all righteous gods are really called to watch and they have not died of old age, then the users of the ceremony will automatically return to zero time and move towards the real "end", the end that even the soul can't find.

Chapter 1952 Chapter 1923 Mental Preparation (plus more)

　　 This ritual can be regarded as the strangest ritual that Jenkins has ever encountered. He vaguely felt that although the ritual itself is related to time, it is definitely not a ritual developed by the ruler of time.

　　 It is very likely that it is from the more distant past, such as the occult rituals handed down from the first era.

　　 Anyway, Jenkins kept the ceremony in mind, but did not share it with Hathaway or Alexia. It's good for him to know this kind of thing himself, he can't guarantee what kind of story the ceremony involves.

　　 After dealing with all the gains gained in the eastern suburbs of Nolan in the afternoon, seeing that it was late, Jenkins and the ladies at home greeted them, and planned to go to church to explain a little bit about what happened this afternoon as a believer in lies.

　　 Alexia could not spend the night on St. George Street. She still missed her students, so she left home with Jenkins.

　　 Hathaway stood at the door and waved goodbye to them, then turned to look at the remaining ladies at home, namely Britney, Julia, and Jessica.

　　 Jenkins was the only one present when she confessed that she was a god. Hathaway also asked the reason, so she learned how ambitious the short lady really is.

　　 As for the other people in the family, Jenkins believes that they are not involved in the believer of the lie and the **** of the lie, and this matter can be revealed to them at an appropriate time later.

　　 Of course, Hathaway also agrees with this approach, most of the reason is that he agrees with Jenkins's opinion, a small part of the reason is that only she and Alexia know the deepest secret of Jenkins.

　　 After Jenkins left, Julia said goodbye to the three and went back to rest. She is the first person to get up in the family, because she has to prepare breakfast, so Jenkins always advises Julia to rest early.

　　 Jessica and Hathaway's eyes met, and then quickly moved away. She knew what her purpose was for coming here tonight, and she still remembered her surprise when she told her that she would not go home tonight. I also know that for the other two people standing here, he has indeed played a disgraceful role.

　　 "I'll take a look at the neighbor next door."

　　 put on slippers and walked towards Miss Silver Flute's house. She thought it was a bit awkward to get along with Hathaway and Britney.

　　 "She thought it was awkward to get along with us."

　　 The blond girl leaned on the door frame and watched Jessica knock on the door of the neighbor next door. Britney had a melancholy expression on her face:

　　 "Oh, what a silly girl, I was fooled so easily by Jenkins."
