can't tell whether it is the talent of the vampire species itself, or the means left by the difference machine modification.

　　 In short, when Jenkins saw the ugly creature in the sterling silver container at the bottom of the lake on the west side of the Evergreen Forest, he was painted with twelve holy silver nails with different holy symbols and nailed to the cross.

　　 "How much silver is used here?"

　　 Jenkins asked while using flames to evaporate the water on his body. For safety, the sterling silver cage was chained to the bottom of the water. There are other safety measures on the lake. No matter whether it is from the inside out or from the outside to the inside, no one should ever want to go in and out without permission.

　　 "For the church, the value of alien demigods far exceeds these silvers, and besides..."

　　 Mr. Gilbert scratched his nose and looked at his shoes:

　　 "The worship of the believers is quite generous."

　　Jenkins knew about the financial problems of the church. During his stay in Berduran, he had heard about it when he was chatting with the contemporary Pope Saint Ponteve, so he knew how much wealth the church had accumulated.

　　The worship of believers to the church is of course "get something for nothing" in a sense, but the reality is that no church will refuse.

　　 He nodded clearly, then stretched out his hand to feel the vitality of the vampire species:

　　 "Still alive."

　　 Accompanying Jenkins into this cell like an underwater sterling silver coffin, in addition to Mr. Gilbert of the Church of the Sage, there are also two demigods from the Church of the Sun and Justice, the Night and the Hidden Church. On the one hand, it serves as a testimony to a possible conversation, on the other hand, it is to protect Jenkins.

　　 Although Jenkins does not need any protection now, there is always nothing wrong with insurance.

　　 The blood-sucking species that was nailed to the cross had a shriveled figure, as if it had lost the moisture of the whole body. Compared with being alive, it was more like being made into a mummy, and the degree of ugliness had gone up a step. After getting permission, Jenkins patted the opponent's skin lightly, and learned the mechanical structure of the opponent's body through this slap.

　　, coupled with the use of the world tree seedling to perceive vitality, and the information obtained from the flesh and blood part, basically all the secrets in the blood-sucking species have been figured out.

　　 "Probably here."

　　 He pointed to the position of the opponent's left chest, where is the heart of most humanoids, and naturally the heart of blood-sucking species:

"I feel that there is something very strange here, probably a piece of metal the size of a nail seam. Although it has metal all over it, the metal here is very unusual. This metal is confining the blood sucking species and transforming it into a metal form. .We did not use force to wake it up. It is correct, I can feel that this is like a triggered steam bomb...No, maybe not only triggered, but also timed... .."

　　 He frowned in thought, and stretched out his hand to "suck" the piece of metal directly through the induction of the metal and the manipulation of the flesh and blood, but he stretched out his hand and slammed back.

　　 "Need to let the Mechanical Church send someone down and figure out a way to get that thing out?"

　　 asked Mr. Gilbert.

"Of course, as soon as possible, I don’t know what will happen to the piece of metal, but it must be the last insurance to prevent us from learning the secret. Yes, after all, I don’t know anything about mechanics. I can only say that this is speculation. But it still needs the believers of the professional mechanical church to take that thing out."

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate called.

　　 "Yes, I don't know anything about it."

　　 He patted his cat and added:

　　 "Also, do we have that kind of potion that can make people tell the truth? Maybe it really wakes up in a while, it will be useful."

　　 "I can ask, but for the demigods of different species, the potion may not have a very good effect."

　　 Jenkins can directly draw the specific structure of the chest of the blood-sucking species by reading and writing, which is convenient for the demigods from the mechanical church to take out the metal pieces he found in a minimally invasive way.

　　 The metal piece that was taken out was as thin as a fingernail, and the whole was a slender strip. The black aura flashed uncontrollably in Jenkins's eyes. This is probably part of some kind of trick, of course, it may also be an unknown creation concocted by the difference machine.

　　 "Look, there are some runes here."

　　 Jenkins found some ancient text on the smoother side, but no one seemed to be able to see it except him. So Jenkins wrote down those words to decipher it, and while the metal piece was brought back to the ground, everyone under the water began to interrogate the vampire species formally.

Animal blood was spilled on its body, and the shriveled body swelled like a sponge. The whole process was so disgusting and tested people’s sanity, so much so that Jenkins had to cover his cat’s eyes to prevent it from seeing that it shouldn’t be at his age. Something to see.

　　 The vampire species that successfully awakened, as expected, struggled and wailed desperately. After it almost roared out of strength, Jenkins stepped forward with a small bottle.

　　 The church does not think that simple inquiry is useful, so it has no plans to communicate with the other party. The potion Jenkins was holding was from Old Jack. Old Jack believed that if this was useless, then the other potions would definitely not have any effect.

　　 After forcing the other person to drink, Jenkins tried to ask the first question:

"what your name?"

　　 Vampire said his name when he showed up on the weekend. At this moment, he drooped his head exhausted and gave the correct answer after hearing the question:

　　 "Bruch Gangelo Nofil."

　　 "Age?"

　　 There was no answer this time. Jenkins looked at the small bottle in his hand and poured the remaining half bottle of potion, but he still couldn't get a response:

　　 "It can only take effect once, right?"

　　 He complained in a low voice, and seeing that the potion had no effect, the church asked Jenkins to leave the cell temporarily. They planned to use some inconvenient methods to make the blood suckers speak. The church is not a completely pure organization.

Section 2015, the first thousand eighty-fifth chapter, the fragment of the heart of machinery (plus more 5/6)

　　 For his mental health, Jenkins immediately took the cat out of the water.

　　 On the ground, the source of that thin thin metal sheet has been figured out:

　　 "Obviously, this is a gift that was once part of the [Mechanical Heart]."

　　 Many years ago, there was a serious defect in the Mechanical Church. In the accident, the apostates stole three gifts. Among them, the clock was destroyed by Jenkins in the 31st cycle accident last fall. Thor’s Fury was recovered by Jenkins not long ago, and it was contaminated into a quirk and capable of producing [Mechanical Germ] [Mechanical Heart]. In the hands of [Gear Craftsmen's Association].

　　 "Isn't the mechanical heart in the hands of the craftsmen? They gave the heart to the difference engine?"

　　 Jenkins asked in surprise, and the subsequent interrogation from the blood-sucking species confirmed this guess.

　　The differential engine has been trapped underground, but the seal and damage problem has not been solved. In the months before and after Jenkins returned to Nolan from Berdylan, he himself encountered many actions by the Gear Craftsmen Association to help the differential engine.

　　Because of most actions, Jenkins would bump into him somehow, so that the plan to help the differential machine get rid of the seal and repair the broken body could not be completed. The Craftsmen Association and the Tree House finally reached an agreement and decided to take the risk of some bold but at least theoretically feasible attempts.

　　 Last week, Jenkins encountered half of the core of the differential engine appearing above the ground through the giant brass door, which in itself proved that, at least at this stage, the seal of the differential engine has already had a major problem. He thought it was because of the accumulation of time, the cultists finally found a way to tear the seal, but he did not expect it to be related to the mechanical heart.

　　 Mechanical Heart itself is the top gift corresponding to mechanical power, and the secret contained therein is definitely more than Thor's Wrath.

The blood-sucking demigod didn’t know how the mechanical heart was used by the differential machine. He only knew that the day the heart went underground, all the people with differential machine technology in their bodies were in a coma for two hours, and after waking up Great advancement in strength.

　　 And through the fusion of the mechanical heart of the trick, the difference engine has mastered a brand new power. Including those flocks of brass gear birds, but also those black mist.

"Black mist is not an evolutionary version of gray mist, it is something more terrifying and elusive. We can understand those black mist as things that can change the world. Yes, as long as black mist exists, it will make it to a certain extent. The space and area in which it is located has become more suitable for the use and evolution of mechanical power. This is similar to... the fog that rewrites the rules of the world. Yes, rewrite the rules of the world to make the world more compatible with mechanical power."

　　 If this is the blood-sucking species relayed by Mr. Gilbert, if this is true, then it means that the differential engine is already planning to take the next action to peer into the ground, otherwise there is no need to release the fog in advance to kill the snake.

　　 "This is really bad..."

　　 Jenkins sighed, ending today's trip to the evergreen forest.

　　 It was very late when I got home. The girls at home were there. Hathaway also said that Jessica came in the afternoon and wanted to inform Jenkins to attend an evening reception, but unfortunately I couldn't find where he went.

　　 "I will visit her after dinner, and more."

　　 He put down his knife and fork and looked at the three girls at the same table:

　　 "Have you considered going to the church for a period of time?"

　　 "Is the situation so dangerous already?"

　　 Hathaway asked sadly.

　　 "No, it's not very dangerous, I'm just a little worried."

　　 "Which church do you want us to move to? Is it the Church of the Sage?"

　　 Brian also asked. Jenkins thought about it. In fact, the Church of the Sage was invaded by pagans more than once, so the Evergreen Forest is more suitable.

　　 But I immediately thought that many accidents had occurred in the Evergreen Forest, and the battle with the Skeleton Sword almost burned a fifth of the forest.

And my own home seems to have always been safe. Except for the ordinary serial murderer who sneaked in last winter, so far, only knocking on the door is the most dangerous thing, but that is also because I accidentally "actively" invited the other person into the yard. .

　　 "Forget it, let's stay at home."

　　 He picked up the knife and fork again:

　　 "But don’t invite anyone, even if it’s someone we know comes into the house, don’t make an invitation lightly."

　　 "We can be protected at home, and the Princess is protected by Miss Miller, so what will Miss Windsor do?"

　　 Julia also asked.

　　 "Miss Magic and Miss Yindi are very reliable...I have my own way."

　　 After dinner, he went out to find Jessica, because he showed up in a timely manner, and the cocktail party that was supposed to be cancelled went on smoothly. Jenkins and Jessica met at the reception with several army generals who were originally opposition factions. When they talked with them, they learned that Fidiktelli’s army had already started and they were preparing to join forces with the army from Hampavo in the north. , Attacked Chesland.

　　 The church is determined to let the second prince of the Arecio family ascend to the throne in a real sense before Friday’s negotiations, so the battle begins without waiting. The armies of the two countries will effectively defeat Chessland's troops on the western border. This is actually not difficult. After all, Chessland has already become a mess because of the coup and the fire.

　　 In addition to small talk, the generals of the army also vaguely expressed some anxiety to Jenkins. The source of anxiety is that Jenkins and the daughter of the Marquis of the Navy have a marriage contract, which will inevitably make the Army worry about future status issues.

　　 This is actually a very serious problem. A little carelessness may cause opposition between domestic military factions. It's a pity that Jenkins didn't have time to pay attention to these issues, but comforted them for a short period of time and still implemented the policies of Queen Isabella. Long-term policies need to be drawn up by Jessica, but he will definitely be fair.

　　 After all these business matters were dealt with, Jenkins offered to talk to Miss Magic.

　　 "Congratulations, Your Majesty the King."

　　 In the unmanned corridor on the third floor of the manor, Miss Magic joked while holding on to the window sill.

　　 "Congratulations too, the royal occult consultant. I want to announce the titles of you and Miss Yindi after I officially succeed to the throne in Berdylan...Do you prefer medals or certificates?"

　　 He said casually, and then he started talking about business:

　　 "It's been a few months since you got the [Heart of the Sea]. Is there any research progress recently?"

　　 "There is no progress. I can only say that the gift of heart is very mysterious, but it is better. I think once there is a result, it will be a huge gain for me... What do you ask this for?"

Chapter 2016 The first thousand nine hundred and eighty-sixth chapters of nine treacherous realms (plus 6/6)

　　 Jenkins sneakily looked to both sides of the corridor, and then whispered after making sure that no one was there:

"It is reported that the underground differential engine relies on the fusion of the mechanical heart, and has basically broken the seal. Since the mechanical heart and the ocean heart have the possibility of fusion, I would like to ask if it is possible to rely on the principle of the same kind of swallowing. To find out the location of the mechanical heart?"

"Oh, this idea is really good. I have also had the subject of relying on the principle of swallowing the same species to find numbered items, but...well, there is a feasibility, but it is only a feasibility. "

"It's okay. I'm willing to gamble on the possibility. You don't have to worry about funding... Just ask Jessica for the money. I gave her all the financial certificates of the kingdom, including the royal family. Private property."

　　 "You really trust Miss Windsor, but research takes a lot of time."

　　 Miss Magic said again.

　　 "Time? It doesn't matter, then do it. You don't seem to have any other time-consuming things except protecting Jessica now?"

　　 "Of course, have you forgotten your commission?"

　　 "What commission?"

　　 Jenkins was taken aback.

　　 "Didn't you entrust me and my friends to study the ‘Ritual of the Destroyer’?"

　　 "Dealer? Oh, yes, there is such a thing. There have been too many things recently, and I have forgotten a bit. So is there any progress now?"

　　 "Of course there is."

　　 "It doesn't matter, this can be done slowly...what are you talking about?"

　　 He tilted his head.

　　Miss Magic once complained that this would be a long and complicated job, and promised that she and her friends (religious friends) would study it carefully, but also made Jenkins mentally prepared that there would be no results.

　　 But obviously the strength and luck of this group of researchers is much better than Miss Magic’s conservative estimate. The research on rituals and black towers has made great progress, and it is the biggest progress Jenkins has made so far:

"We found that the black tower has a very unique spatial response. We contacted the recent abnormal space zone around Nolan. We conducted research from this perspective and finally determined that the seven-story towers currently appearing have a special inside each floor. Space. And the fluctuating response of the space and the feedback of the spirit have a great similarity to the eccentric realm...Why are you not surprised at all?"

　　 "Surprised? I already know about the deceitful realm. Do you mean that the dark tower is a large-scale deceived realm?"

　　 "No, I mean, there is a large-scale paradox in each layer."

　　 "There is one on each level? Are you saying that the nine deceptions are connected to each other?"

"Yes, they are not independent deceptions. As you may know, deceptions are inherently unique space fragments. Different deceptions remain independent, and only special entrances and exits can enter and exit. But the inside of this tower The spatial response is different. The seven-story towers currently appearing are not completely independent, at least in the number of adjacent floors, there is a clear correlation."

　　 "Sorry, what do you mean specifically?"

　　Miss Magic did not answer immediately, as if she was thinking of a suitable way of expression:

"In other words, if you think of that tower as a huge deception, then this deception is made up of several small-scale deceptions. I know this sounds incredible, but in fact, we already have evidence."

　　 "Evidence? Miss Magic, my admiration for you can no longer be expressed in words."

　　 "You don't have to praise me...If you can't express it, you can write it in a letter. Ahem, well, there are two points of evidence. First.
