The speed of the flying object was very fast. If it weren't for the physical fitness of the seventh-level benefactor and the reaction speed of [Cat's Grace], Jenkins might not even be able to see its flight path clearly.
But it doesn't matter, the moment it was flying in the air was captured again, the Holy Bone Sword was pulled out of the air and then swung down violently, as the sword light with gray and ambiguous colors flashed, a white The line went straight along the central axis of the road and divided the road in front of the yard into two parts. At the same time, it also divided the weird gear and the man standing in the middle of the road into two parts.
"Is it that simple?"
He held his weapon and stood there without moving, looking around, and under the prompt of inspiration, he lowered his head and looked down. I saw a few ants-like things that were much smaller than rice grains, trying to climb up his shoe uppers, and looking into the distance, more brass-colored little things crawled here in a straight line, like Ants are marching.
Jenkins was taken aback, all these things in the unclosed eyes of reality had a black aura. He wanted to take a step back, but he didn't expect those "ants" to "fly" even faster, pounced on Jenkins' face like locusts.
Instinctively waved his palm forward, the flames were thrown out by him like a wall, and the air was almost ignited in the bang~ explosion. And when a few "ants" flew out of the firewall and rushed towards Jenkins, Jenkins had already put the air bomb ring on his hand.
"I didn't intend to detonate the street on purpose, I hope Miss Magic can be faster."
Thinking in his heart, he waved his hand forward again as before, so Miss Magic, who was chanting ancient words with her eyes closed in the warehouse, felt the ground shake violently when she heard the explosion.
The corner of her mouth twitched, but she still stood there without moving, fully believing that Mr. Candle outside could solve all the troubles.
This time Jenkins did not blow up half of the street like last time, but just a small piece of street at the gate of the warehouse yard. The resulting explosion was enough to startle the block, and even though he was surrounded by empty warehouses, he had to deal with the problem before the police were drawn in.
After the explosion, the ears still caught the sound of rustling in the rising dust.
"Vanilla, back off!"
Jenkins yelled at his cat, which almost crawled forward with its belly on the ground just now, like a tiger about to hunt. It's a pity that the chocolate is so small that it just feels funny to do so.
The wall of fire and the explosion just now still had an effect. Only a few brass-colored "metal ants" were able to crawl out of the messy road after the explosion, and their forward speed became slower, enough for Jenkins to see clearly that it was What.
"Metal... gears?"
What he mistook as the size of an ant was a metal creation made of very small gears that looked like an ant. Their shape is simple, with a large gear as the body, and small gears and bearings together form the tentacles and feet, and they can even fuse and split with each other during crawling.
For no reason, Jenkins thought of his own [Mechanical Light], because the objects decomposed by [Mechanical Light] were finally scattered into gears of similar size, shape and color, but they couldn't be pieced together to become ants. .
"So… "
His right hand stretched forward to make a lifting motion, and as the unique mantra was recited softly by him, the light representing the color of the protoss had been lifted by him in his hand.
He didn't use the lamp right away, but continued to drive the gear ants together with flames, and when the ring of fire almost gathered them together, they vaguely formed the complete gear that he saw just now.
What was thrown by the strange man just now was not a gear at all, but a metal ball gathered by these metal ants.
"Mechanical Light!"
Blue-purple light shot out from the center of the miner's lamp, covering the "gears" on the ground. The surface of the "gear" originally had uneven ups and downs due to the surge of the mechanical structure, flowing like ripples, but as soon as it touched the light, the "gear" itself stopped, and all the metal ants that pieced it together seemed to be dead. Out of general.
And as the light continued to shine, the gear finally couldn't maintain its shape, and directly scattered into a pool of metal on the ground. Jenkins observed with his eyes anxiously, until the last tiny black aura disappeared, and then burned all the metals that did not have extraordinary power with flames.
The burnt metal emitted an abnormal stench in the air, even in an empty street, the smell lasted for a long time, until Miss Magic came out after finishing the warehouse, she could still smell the abnormal smell .
"What happened just now? When you were fighting, you broke through the underground septic tank?"
The woman came out clutching her nose, holding a small paper bag in her hand.
"It's the cogcrafters. Have you ever heard of tricks made of small cogs?"
"I've never heard of it, what is that?"
"Probably a new pattern created by things underground."
Jenkins said, and then motioned Miss Magic to follow him and leave quickly, the police were almost here.
This incident attracted the Gear Artisan Association, which Jenkins really did not expect. But during the short retreat, he also thought that the Gear Artisan Association and the tree house are now united, so it seems reasonable for the tree house to let the low-level benefactors of the artisan association take the tricks to destroy the ceremony venue.
In this way, the cooperation between Queen Isabella and the tree house is not as comprehensive as Jenkins expected. Obviously, she didn't completely trust the tree house, so except for the necessary part involving the ceremony, the other parts were done by ordinary people under her.
Therefore, this matter itself has anti-divination and anti-tracking, but if you avoid divination from the details, just like what Jenkins did today, it is not impossible to trace anything.
Miss Magic also gained something in the warehouse. According to her, the traces of the ceremony left on the scene are very obvious. Although it is a sacrificial ceremony that she is not good at, judging from the arrangement of the ritual array, the time of the ceremony, and the runes on the ritual array that can be "seen", the purpose of this ceremony is to "sacrifice" and "obtain ".
"My foundation of ritual studies is not very good, so can you change it to a more normal term."
At this moment, the two had left the warehouse in the eastern mining area and were walking along the street towards the city center. It was still afternoon, although it was Saturday, but because of the hot weather, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the two walked forward through the lingering smoke.
"Your foundation of ritual studies is not good?"
Miss Magic certainly didn't believe this sentence, but she didn't bother to question it, but patiently explained:
"Sacrifice something in exchange for something. Although it is still a sacrifice in essence, there is a difference between the two. The prototype of the ritual in the warehouse is very old, and I can't even trace it back to the original appearance. But similar rituals I have seen it before, and I have to say that this is your luck, Mr. Candle... In short, if we talk about the actual effect this time, it should be "sacrifice the seven bearers of a different bloodline to obtain a potion that can strengthen the bloodline '."
"So detailed?"
"Don't you still believe in my ritual knowledge?"
The woman said very conceitedly that when it comes to her professional skills, Miss Magic will show this look.
Jenkins remembered the "projection ceremony" he bought for 8,000 pounds, and immediately nodded sullenly:
"I have full confidence in your learning, Miss Magic."
"So all this is revealed like this? The real purpose of Her Majesty the Queen is really to obtain the blood of the elves, so as to gain a longer lifespan and rule the Kingdom of Fidgetli?"
Her tone became lighter. After all, this matter was coming to an end. Although there were accidents, it was generally smooth. It is also a novelty for Miss Magic to be able to participate in the disputes of the royal family without danger. As for the victim who appeared because of this, she neither knew nor had nothing to do with her, so it would not affect her mood.
"Enhance your own bloodline? It's impossible.
In fact, Queen Isabella has no blood relationship with the Middleton family. If the thing summoned by the ceremony is really as you said, then the potion should have no effect on Queen Isabella. "
"I know that His Majesty is not a real member of the Middleton family, but married to the royal family, but don't nobles all have the habit of intermarrying? Maybe she is also a distant relative of Middleton."
Miss Magic guessed again, turned the corner with Jenkins, and looked at the beautiful white building with him while walking. The steam pipe is attached to the surface of the wall, and the brass-colored brilliance seems to draw elegant lines on the wall.
"But she is an exception. Because she has been on the throne for too long, many people have probably forgotten it, but Queen Isabella was born as a commoner."
"What?"
Miss Magic looked back at her companion, and realized that it was not a joking expression:
"Then why did she spend so much effort? It can't be that she has forgotten her bloodline, right?"
"Of course it is impossible. Salhi II said that although Queen Isabella is a little confused, she is still very sober at least now... It may not be for her own use, maybe she has already chosen her own heir , but he is unwilling to let Middleton's bloodline decline from now on... "
Jenkins slowed down and looked in the direction of the city center. His eyes lifted upwards from the streets that seemed to gradually widen on both sides. Finally, he saw a black metal tower looming in the depths of the dense fog. The Black Tower began to appear.
Suddenly stopped:
"I think, I probably understand. Unexpectedly, it turned out that she planned it this way."
