For the sake of those banknotes, and the stranger who visited did not break the law, the cemetery guard changed his clothes and led Jenkins to the cremation site on the other side of the cemetery.
Jenkins didn't know the name of the deceased, and he couldn't contact his relatives, so he and the grave guard could only pray and see the poor man off. After all this was done, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
After bidding farewell to the gravekeeper and returning to Loen, the girls and the cat fell asleep. Chocolate originally followed Jenkins, but when he arrived at the cemetery, he couldn't stand the sleepiness, so he came back early.
Without disturbing Alexia, Jenkins simply washed up, lay on the bed and opened the book he got from the drawer in the dark room.
This is a completely handwritten book, recording all the research on the mad poet by the gifter who left the sound-absorbing stone. He probably spent a long time studying this lunatic at the end of the fifteenth era, and some of the things recorded in it even Jenkins didn't know.
Especially the trajectory of the mad poet's actions outside of Hokuriku, which is completely unknown territory for Jenkins. The mad poet and the strange machine were mentioned in the research, but there were not many descriptions about the ruins where the machine was found, and only a short paragraph was used to explain that the ruins are now completely missing.
But the book focuses on [Children of Calamity]. In addition to the information Jenkins obtained from the memory of the altar at the root of the world tree, it also mentions that the ability of the mad poet is not recorded by most secret materials. obtained from. The mad poet lied to everyone. This ability was born with him, but it was not activated at the beginning.
[... The moment he became the benefactor, he clearly felt the thread of fate, and he was the chosen one. The ambiguous color represents that this powerful ability has not yet formed. Therefore, he is determined to hide the origin of his soul from everyone, and plans to spend his whole life exploring this secret. This can be proved from the diary fragments I found ...]
These are the original words in the book. The more Jenkins reads, the more he feels that this description is very visual. It was only later that I realized that this seemed to be the description of the natural saviors who obtained the soul emblem.
"But I have confirmed that the child of disaster is not... Yes, the child of disaster is not qualified as the savior of the eighteenth era, but it does not mean that this is not the qualification of the savior of the fifteenth era. Wait, Alexia and I After the machine was destroyed in the Snow Mountain Secret Realm, the data recorded by the machine was leaked, and the image of the mad poet appeared, and similar things were mentioned... If this is true, then the nameless hero who defeated the mad poet was at the end of the fifteenth era The possibility of winning in the end is even greater... Maybe Miss Glasses said that the two men fought on the top of the snow mountain for three days and three nights, it is not an exaggeration to distort the facts, and it may even be to weaken the tragic level at that time."
Jenkins was very excited to see a glimpse of the truth of the distant past. There are various signs that the nameless brave man who killed the mad poet finally became a god, which means that the first shortcut to becoming a god is indeed feasible, even for Jenkins now, this is of great significance.
The chapter on the death of the mad poet occupies the vast majority of the book, and the researchers used a lot of materials to corroborate each other before successfully finding the place where the mad poet was buried. At the end of the book, the location is clearly recorded, which is in the mountains north of Loen City. Although it is a bit far away, Jenkins can reach it in about three hours while riding a unicorn at full speed.
"This is the most valuable. There is definitely the information I want there. Even if there is no information, it is of great significance to the Northland to completely end the curse of the mad poet."
He thought to himself, then closed the book in his hand, only then noticed that Chocolate had woken up. Looking up at the window again, the morning light shines into the bedroom through the curtains, the night has gone, and a new day has arrived.
Today is Sunday, and Jenkins originally promised Mr. White Cat to participate in his operation to kill the alien species. Those ghouls, bone eaters, and frantic demons are planning to launch an attack on the "Norland Branch of Fidiktli National Bank" under construction in the west of Nolan today in order to find the so-called "treasure". Mr. White Cat needs a lot of Nails of the Madman.
Although it was very wrong to do so, Jenkins could not delay his curiosity about the mad poet for a moment. He didn't even make up for the lack of sleep. After discussing the action plan with Alexia, he went to Noland to reach the meeting point and apologized to Mr. White Cat for not being able to participate in the action today. The reason is that the injury caused by the battle with the Titans on Friday has not fully recovered yet.
Mr. White Cat also understood Jenkins' difficulties. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still accepted his apology.
The dead who left the sound-absorbing stone have repeatedly emphasized that the burial place of the mad poet is surrounded by curses, so if you want to explore, you must be perfectly prepared. Jenkins and Alexia discussed a lot of plans and planned to leave in the evening.
Dolores also wants to follow them, but is persuaded by Julia. She waited anxiously in the manor until late at night, and finally saw the unicorn appearing in the sky, and flew back with the tired Jenkins and Alexia.
"It's okay, just a little tired."
The unicorn landed on the terrace on the second floor. Jenkins helped Alexia down, and they returned to the living room. Jenkins slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move.
"You can never imagine what happened to us."
He took the lazy cat out of his arms and threw it to the coffee table. The cat drew an arc in the air, and then jumped onto the back of the sofa on the other side as if it had bounced off the coffee table.
"We found the legendary small village where the mad poet was buried under the valley of the mountains. The village is still in its original state. Hundreds of ghosts from thousands of years were imprisoned there by the power of the mad poet, and all of them were tortured into unconsciousness. Eliminated the evil spirit, the big tree in the center of the village that hung the corpse of the mad poet, because it absorbed too much power from the corpse, it was activated into a god knows what kind of ghost thing.
The root system of that ancient tree was at least a hundred times larger than the ground part, and when it finally moved, it almost caused a landslide. If you feel the tremor in Loen today, it is because the mountain in the distance collapsed. "
Jenkins didn't want to think about that scene again. At that time, he was riding a unicorn, and Alexia flew into the sky by himself. The two watched the mountains undulating, and then the huge old tree with countless tentacles moved. , It's as if the mountains came alive and grew dense tentacles, the scene is scary to think about.
