If it was in the original world, Jenkins would immediately suspect that the orb that can make surrounding objects glow is a radioactive material, and immediately call a doctor to treat him. But this world doesn't need to worry about such problems, it's just that he didn't think of the role of this bead.
"So what's the use of it?"
Jenkins asked out the doubts in his heart.
"Would be fun to decorate a bedroom."
Dolores said, curiously touching the glowing back of the chair.
"Not all numbered items can find uses, and not all C-type gifts have great effects. Maybe you can use it to decorate your bedroom, and this actinic effect will last for a day or two , if you're willing to go to the trouble, you can make a whole bedroom glow... that's about it."
Alexia nodded and handed the beads back to Jenkins.
So this bead is useless to Jenkins for the time being, and it will probably be useless in the foreseeable future. Fortunately, Jenkins chose it from the strange environment. The biggest reason was to find a new toy for Chocolate, so that it would give up grinding its claws with the dangerous ring that sealed the Calamity Black Stone.
He asked Alexia, Dolores, and Julia to try separately to see if they could take this photochemical orb for their own use, but unfortunately, none of them could respond to it.
"You can play with it."
Jenkins had no choice but to put this gift next to the cat. The cat looked at him cautiously to confirm that Jenkins was not joking, and happily pushed the beads with its paws to play.
Jenkins isn't worried about losing this gift to chocolates, the cat takes great care of all his supplies, and even old things he doesn't use—like his first cushion since he came to Jenkins' house—don't allow Jenkins throw away. So it's safe to leave the beads temporarily in the chocolate, as long as Jenkins remembers to put them away when he's out.
He planned to let Hathaway try it the next time he went to Nolan. After all, it was a gift of type C, so it would be a pity to treat it like a chocolate toy.
"Then there is this, C-03-0921 [Silver Key], which is the key used by the aliens to open the gate. Is this also famous?"
He handed the key to Alexia, who looked at the dizzying and strange fine patterns on the surface of the key with interest, which was a bit like the style of elf jewelry.
"It's normal if you don't know. Mr. Oliver probably wouldn't introduce something like that. In every major church, there will be a list of lost numbers, that is, those numbered items or events that haven't reappeared for hundreds of thousands of years. Then there is reason to believe that the things corresponding to these numbers have been destroyed. But the replacement of numbers is a very complicated process, even more complicated than identification. Therefore, among all the numbers in use in the video memory, one-third of the corresponding Specific items and events are subject to discussion as to whether they should be retained.
The silver key is one of them. It can be found from limited ancient documents that the history of this key can be traced back to very ancient times, and it often plays the leading role in various weird legends or terrible conspiracies. Used as a background in Legendary Adventures. The last time this key appeared, an evil thing sealed in a different space by the ancient gods directly returned to the material world, which indirectly caused a fault in a generation of civilization. But that was already a matter of the 16th century, and now only church documents and a few relic slabs can find this matter. "
Alexia continued to display her erudition.
"Teacher, then the function of this key is not just to open the door to the outside of the material world?"
Dolores sat on the sofa and raised her hand obediently and asked.
"Its most formal function is to break through the space barrier, causing it to form a gap temporarily or even permanently. If you want to open a specific door, you must at least know the location of the door. I think there should be a sealed door near Nolan. Or the ancient portal that has been damaged, otherwise this key is useless to those ghouls."
Alexia said, gently placing the key on the table:
"I suggest you don't keep it, just give it to the church."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow... No, tomorrow is a bit too early. During the adventure in the strange land last night, the grave guards and night watchmen of the Orthodox Church knew that [Silver Key] appeared in the strange land, and at the end It will be handled by believers in lies, if I hand over this key immediately, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, wait a few months for things to subside before handing it in."
Jenkins said that it was not a pity for this key. He fully believed in Alexia's judgment, but now is not a good time to hand it in.
"But why persuade me not to keep it?"
he asked again.
"There are many default rules for numbered items. For example, items with the suffix 'Heart' are usually extremely powerful. If consecutive numbers are of the same type, they are likely to be a complete set of items. For another example, whether it is ABC Which type, items like keys are usually very dangerous, Dolores, do you still remember that I told you in class that the symbols of keys usually have such meanings in occultism?"
she asked her young students.
"Link, open, liberate...evolve."
The meaning of evolution is because the key can "open the next room" and "enter the next stage", so it has the intention of sublimation.
"Yes, so the source or creator of this kind of item itself is likely to be those great or indescribable people we can only look up to. Manufacturing these keys that can permanently have extraordinary properties usually has its own purpose, and Because these keys are directly connected with high-level existences, and even have connections with some high-dimensional existence plans, the holders usually end up going crazy gradually over a long period of time.
It is a dangerous move for a madman to use any key. Even if he is not crazy, these extraordinary keys that can open the 'door' are often the source of disaster. "
She pushed the small silver key to Jenkins, and Jenkins twisted it and received it in his spirit:
"The [Silver Key] is really dangerous in this way, and the name reminds me of a scary story I've read before... Through the Silver Key... It's so inauspicious. I get it, I'll put it in a few weeks Give it to the church. The church will not let me suffer, maybe I will have the honor to see the gifts collected by the Ruen Diocese."
