The scattered trifles are scary, but after Jenkins returned to Nolan, he also revealed to his father that he wanted to fight for the throne. Dad said lightly at the time that Jenkins could do whatever he wanted, he didn't understand these complicated politics. But Jenkins believes that his father has already told the church about this matter. Although the church is limited by the [High Tower Agreement] and cannot directly help Jenkins, the believers of the sage are distributed in all corners of society, and the church behind the scenes provides Help, probably more than any help.
Dolores and Miss Windsor originally planned to take advantage of the meeting between the three kings to do something, but things changed faster than planned. Originally, the fleet of the Cheslan Kingdom was scheduled to arrive at Nolan Harbor this weekend, but due to unlucky accidents at sea In the event of a storm, the fleet could only dock temporarily and wait for the storm to subside, so the time to reach the destination was delayed.
For the time being, it is not known when the fleet from the Southern Kingdom will arrive, so Jenkins can only busy himself with the things in hand, shuttling between cities with different identities. On Tuesday, he finally saw Miss Capet again. At this time, he helped his father send some documents and materials to the church. When he walked out of the church gate, he met his cousin.
Miss Capet came to the Church of the Sages to deliver a letter. The alliance meeting of the Twelve Churches is in full swing, and the churches have very frequent contacts during this period.
Now that he had met Miss Capet, Jenkins once again mentioned the matter of inviting her to his house. When he went back to Privet Drive to visit his family last night, Robert specifically mentioned this matter to him. Jenkins wanted to write to invite him, but unexpectedly met him directly.
"Is it a guest?"
Miss Capet and Jenkins stood together under the white stone pillars outside the main entrance of the church, and the pillars were elevated to a pattern of cherubs blowing trumpets. She looked nervous, and Jenkins understood that.
"Okay, I think I can go, when exactly?"
She asked as if she had made up her mind.
"Probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will write to you."
Jenkins said happily.
Neither of them had anything else to do next, so Miss Capet once again mentioned the request she had made a long time ago, which was to invite Jenkins to join her to ask Miss Knight about the secret of the awakening of the blood.
Miss Capet originally wanted to rely on this to find the secret of her life experience. Now that everything has come to light, she is still curious about it.
Now that he has time, Jenkins accepts the invitation. It happened that they were in front of the church now, so they went back and borrowed a carriage, and the carriage took the two of them to the evergreen forest outside the city.
Nolan is not a church that owns all the Twelve Orthodox Churches, so when the church delegations arrived one after another, arranging accommodation for the personnel became the first problem to be faced.
Heretics do not want to live in a pagan church, and pagans do not want to accept heretics to live in their own churches for a long time. So the initial arrangement was to rent several larger hotels in the city and arrange accommodation together. However, because too many people have poured into Nolan recently, the church was a step too late and did not find a suitable place.
Later, I wanted to find a few suitable manors on the outskirts of the city. It happened that there were several good choices around the valley where the Evergreen Forest was located, and the Evergreen Forest itself was also the most important stronghold of the Church of Nolan Diocese outside the city. Church delegations live near Evergreen Forest.
Because of the giant dragon, Miss Knight originally lived in the Evergreen Forest, but since the [Sun and Justice Church] team came, she also moved out of the forest.
The manor where the [Church of the Sun and Justice] team lives is not large. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Jenkins and Miss Capet, who got off the carriage, could see many people in heavy armor doing waving in the yard of the manor. Sword training. The bestowers of the Sun God are the rare group of people who still retain physical training in this era. Even the believers of the God of War have adapted to the development of the times and turned to the power of spells and guns. Only the rigid knights still follow the ancient rules. rules.
Although he didn't make an appointment to visit in advance, Jenkins had already been famous when he was in Beldyran, and most of the delegations who came here knew that he was the holy son of the sage, so the request to meet Miss Knight was not refused.
Soon Jenkins and Miss Capet saw the dragon knight girl. She didn't look like a dragon under normal circumstances, but her eyes were a little strange, as if they had become magic eyes due to the awakening of her blood. When watching, there is always a feeling of staring at a beast.
Miss Capet patted Jenkins covertly, signaling him not to look into other people's eyes.
After the three of them sat down and exchanged a few words, Miss Knight, who was wearing a skirt armor, smiled and sighed. She never thought that her adventure partner would one day become a descendant of the royal family. She is a native of Fidgetly, and her views on the royal family are similar to most ordinary people, so she was very surprised to learn that Jenkins and Miss Capet were both descendants of the Middleton family.
After the usual greetings, Miss Capet went straight to the point, because everyone is also an acquaintance, so she was not polite, and said directly:
"Actually, I came here this time to ask about the secrets of the awakening of the bloodline. Although Jenkins and I have no dragon blood, in fact, the Middleton family is not without gifts for future generations."
This question is not for nothing. Miss Capet is willing to pay or pay for it, but Miss Knight looks a little embarrassed. She didn't reject the two of them immediately, but she also didn't say the answer directly. She put down the teacup in her hand and remained silent for a long time before asking softly:
"You must know?"
"Yes."
Miss Capet replied with certainty, and Jenkins nodded accordingly.
"I don't want any reward, but... I don't recommend you to do this. I discovered this method by accident in the special environment of the mirror world, if it weren't for the fact that I had to overcome the mirror image I faced , I will not take the risk of trying. To be honest, this method is not repeatable and generalizable. Even if the church later asked me how I did it, and I told them what happened, the church just thought it was It's a novelty tool that can be documented, but not recommended for anyone."
She wanted to tell the two of the dangers of awakening the blood in this way, but Miss Capet had made up her mind, and Jenkins was curious about the method she used, so under the repeated requests of the two, Miss Knight Reluctantly, she said what she did:
"Awakening the blood of the ancestors is actually going back to history, following the source of the flesh, and searching for the power of ancient times. What we are looking for is not only the power of the ancestors, but also the power given to the blood by history and mythology. Because in contemporary humans There are very few people with different bloodlines, and the awakening of bloodlines is unstable, so few people use awakening bloodlines as a means of pursuing power. At present, the most common means are some potions with strong side effects, I think you have probably heard Earlier this year, the Church of the Sages captured a woman who mutated into a praying mantis through potions. The more stable way is not to stimulate the blood vessels through external force. It is to pursue one's inner self."
This is a relatively abstract statement. Generally speaking, when it comes to the abilities of the soul and spirit, "seeking within" is mentioned.
"Specifically, it is to go deep into one's soul and see what one has. This is a very dangerous behavior. We are all gifted, and we all know that our souls are different from ordinary people after contacting extraordinary power. The soul is ours. The ultimate secret, peeking into the soul, it is very easy to get lost in it... I was in the environment of the mirror world. After killing my own mirror image, I captured a subtle inspiration to face my heart. At the same time, I used a special The method is to dream in the mirror world. The mirror itself is false, and the dream is also illusory. The superimposition of these two illusions prevents me from getting lost in it and unable to return after seeing the reality inside me."
Miss Knight gave her own approach without reservation, but Miss Capet and Jenkins were not happy because they learned the truth. Although the soul of intelligent life is fragile, it is the most important feature that distinguishes living things from dead things. The secret of the soul is something that the owners of the soul cannot figure out, and anyone who has even the slightest understanding of their own soul will make the soul burst out with powerful power.
For example, when she was in Beldylan, Miss Capet immediately rose to a level and even possessed a rare soul-related ability just because she untied her heart knot from having memory and understanding the meaning of "family". Light].
From ancient times to the present, people have never stopped exploring the soul. Even beginners in mysticism know what a miracle the soul is. But peeping into the soul has always been a taboo. The world is so complicated and mysterious that it is dangerous for human beings to peep into their own essence.
"That's at least one line of thinking."
Neither Jenkins nor Miss Capet would be bold enough to do such a thing, so Jenkins can only say this as a consolation, although he himself is a little disappointed.
Miss Knight had expected the reaction of the two, so she deliberately changed the subject to talk about other things, and finally mentioned that the dragon Nidhorgen had asked her to invite Jenkins and Miss Capet to meet it.
"Is that the red dragon in Evergreen Forest?"
Miss Capet was not sure why she asked, she had nothing to do with the dragon.
There was still some time before dinner, so they bid farewell to Miss Knight, and the two went to Evergreen Forest. At this time, the sun was setting, and the entire forest was dyed golden from a distance. After verifying their identity at the entrance of the valley, they refused to be accompanied by the scribe, and they walked into the increasingly prosperous forest.
Stepping into the forest, the abundant spirit of life made the two of them sigh at the same time. The blood of the elves allowed them to feel the benefits of the spirit of life to living beings more than anyone else. At the same time, the sacred and ancient blood also attracted innocent animals to approach them spontaneously. Before they had walked halfway, the animals following the two had already formed a long line.
Most of the animals that now live in the Evergreen Forest have survived the battle between Jenkins and Skullsword earlier this year. During the battle, the sword sent by chocolate made the whole forest burst with vitality, and the animals that helped Jenkins also broke through the limits of all things and realized evolution.
Then after the incident, they turned back into normal animals again, but they all seemed to have improved in intelligence, at least most of them saw what a terrible creature the cat on Jenkins' shoulder was. Except for some squirrels who had recently moved from out of town, no animals dared to get too close to Jenkins.
The battle between chocolate and squirrels is what happens every time Jenkins comes to Evergreen Forest, so Jenkins is not surprised. He is not worried that his cat will hurt those creatures with big tails, but he is worried that the cat will be besieged by groups of squirrels and get injured, so he tries his best to keep the chocolate in his pocket.
"The [origin of life] you mentioned last time, I recently found some information."
The two chatted while walking, and Miss Capet talked about Jenkins' soul-origin ability:
"I haven't found any specific information, but I have seen records that may be related to this in the collection of poems that record ancient legends. This ability seems to be a special ability that can only be mastered by elves, and it cannot be learned by any other race. In the poem It is mentioned that [the origin of life] is not the end of evolution, and there is the possibility of further evolution beyond this."
"So how do we evolve?"
Jenkins asked, waving his hand and using the ability of [Empathy] to warn the birds above his head not to fly too low, let alone land on his shoulders, he felt the cat hidden in his chest peeping at the sky maliciously.
"The ability of the origin of life seems to have touched the most fundamental power of life. If you want to evolve further, you can only pursue a further concept of [life]."
"You mean the World Tree?"
Just at this time, the two turned sideways along the path in the forest, and the giant tree in the center of the evergreen forest came into view. A pure white shadow hangs upside down in front of the tree, and below that is the clear spring water... Even if he knew that the water could cure all diseases, Jenkins would never drink it unless he had to.
"Yes, the World Tree. The next evolution can only rely on the World Tree. Judging from the somewhat exaggerated rhetorical elf poem, the ancient elves relied on performing rituals under the World Tree to evolve their own abilities. [The Origin of Life] The further evolution of the world also relies on this method, but in this era, there is no trace of the world tree in the material world."
The two walked to the tree. In order to protect the B-10-5-2885 [universal potion], the church set up some security measures under the giant tree, and at the same time prevented the animals in the forest from using it as a water source. Jenkins and Miss Capet couldn't come directly to the tree, so they could only look up at the towering canopy together in the open space in front of the giant tree.
