As the feeling that the whole body seemed to be melting became more and more intense, the bones and muscles began to squirm and contract, and the clothes automatically switched back and forth between yellow straw and high-grade silk.
Jenkins is not afraid of evolution and degeneration. Although this body is not as good as the soul, but because of contact with divinity again and again, because of the continuous improvement of the level, it is difficult for Jenkins' physical state to be forcibly changed by external forces.
But he happened to have briefly experienced an alternative, low-end life form, and that was a real transformation into another form. Although this form has been erased with the help of the sage, under the interweaving of the concepts of "evolution" and "degeneration", the posture in the body's "memory" has been read out again.
Boom~
Jenkins disappeared in place, in the flickering black and white light, the pile of clothes on the shaking floor was still changing back and forth.
The black and white kitten stood in the middle of the clothes, one foot stepped on two parts of the world tree seed, and the other stepped on a dingy little mouse. It raised its head:
"Meow~"
Chocolate made such a rare cry, as if threatening the blue-skinned elf in the distance. Without Jenkins touching the symbol on the wall, the vibration of the floor also disappeared. Seeing that Jenkins had turned into a mouse, the goblin immediately ran to this side with two short legs.
It didn't care about the cat at first, but when it ran close and heard the cat's meowing, it immediately turned around without stopping and ran back along the original path with short legs, jumped into the floor with a big jump, and hurriedly left the second floor.
Jenkins, whose sight was blocked by the clothes, could only see the strange black and white light disappear, but couldn't see the goblin's ridiculous performance. He squeaked, trying to get Chocolate to let him go, he was going to touch the [Imperial Amber Stone] in his pocket.
But Choco even gave up the world tree seed, and instead held Jenkins with two paws, stretched out his hand and tongue to lick him. Even if the little gray mouse can occasionally catch the opportunity to escape, the cat can also very sensitively press the tail of the escaping mouse with its paw again, and it never tires of such a game.
Fortunately, the action of Jenkins touching the wall symbol just now was not completely useless, and soon there was another muffled sound in the corridor, and the door of the father's bedroom that could not be opened automatically opened, but there was a black hole between the door and the crack. Filament, like the darkness within the door that refuses to open it.
After a golden light passed, Miss Stewell squeezed out of the room in a panic. The door closed with a sound, and the woman gasped for breath and supported the wall, looking around nervously to guard against attack. But all she saw was Jenkins's cat teasing a little gray mouse in a pile of straw, surrounded by pocket watches, charms, banknotes, handkerchiefs, plant seeds, ritual materials, etc., which survived because they were in their pockets, And the world tree seeds that cannot be affected by light.
"Jenkins?"
It is good to have a smart person as a companion. It is useless for Jenkins, who is constantly being humiliated by cats, to use [Read and write] to remind Miss Stillwell to understand the truth about the mouse.
She knew Jenkins loved his pet cat's chocolate, and that the cat wouldn't even let a stranger touch it. Therefore, the mouse that it "sees" must be related to Jenkins, and combined with those scattered items, it can infer the situation in front of it.
"Jenkins, how do you..."
"Meow~"
Seeing that the dingy mouse was so pitiful, Miss Stillwell wanted to save Jenkins from the cat's claws, but Chocolate immediately pressed the mouse tightly with her claws, then raised her head and showed her teeth, and said to Miss Stillwell There was a threatening cry.
Obviously her voice was so soft, but Miss Stewell froze in place as if she had been frightened. After recovering, she didn't understand what was wrong with her.
"Chocolate, I am the master who wants to save you."
The inexplicable inspiration made her give up the idea of directly using force to snatch the gray mouse, and instead explained her behavior to the cat. But the cat shook its head and stepped on the mouse, staring at Miss Stillwell, as if afraid that she would suddenly steal the mouse. From time to time, he would suddenly lower his head and lick Jenkins mouse, and he would still stare at Miss Stillwell during the process. Jenkins had only seen such a scene when he was guarding chocolate food before.
"can you understand what I am saying?"
Seeing the cat shaking its head, Miss Stewell knew that its intelligence was higher than she thought. Chocolate didn't care what the human woman thought, and while staring at her with wide amber eyes, he licked the little mouse again.
"Jenkins, listen too, the current situation is like this..."
Maybe she thought it was weird to talk to a cat and a mouse with her head down, so she walked downstairs with the cat and the mouse while talking. Before Chocolate could act, he bit the mouse with his mouth and slammed it onto his back.
Jenkins didn't want to leave like this, his hope of becoming a human was still in the straw. Taking advantage of the cat getting the mouse to his back, he quickly explained at Miss Stillwell's feet how the mouse turned into a human.
Miss Stewell also noticed the line of words, she was slightly taken aback, then turned around and picked up the [Imperial Amber Stone].
Although chocolate can prevent others from touching your mouse, if you prevent Miss Stillwell from picking up the amber stone when she already knows the truth, the cat will become very suspicious. So it jumped up and down with its own mouse on its back with a stinky face, and finally put the mouse down.
The dingy little mouse crawled into Miss Stillwell's palm, and stuck its head on the amber stone that the silver dragon girl had been carrying close to her body for tens of thousands of years. As the astonishing heat came from the mouse, the little mouse jumped upwards, turning into a ball of purple-gold light spinning in the air, and it continued to grow bigger as it rotated.
Miss Stewell immediately took two steps back, then turned her back to the direction just now, so that Jenkins who appeared from the light would not be too embarrassed. After all, he has no clothes on him.
But the first thing Jenkins did after he appeared was not to run into the guest room to find a change of clothes, but he waved to the cat who ran to the stairs at some point, and said seriously:
"Chocolate, come here, I have something to tell you."
The black and white kitten shook its head and squatted obediently on the stairs, as if it was about to grow on the floor.
Turning into a mouse after being irradiated by the evolution light and degeneration light of the cyan goblin is a permanent transformation form, similar to the candy that Jenkins ate last time that turned into a mouse, and it is a permanent and irreversible transformation. Relying on the [Imperial Amber Stone] to change back to the appearance of Jenkins Williams is a temporary transformation method. Once the stone leaves Jenkins, he will return to the state of a mouse again.
After all, the mouse state is his original state now.
But this is not impossible to solve. After leaving the antique shop, go to the church to pray to the sage, and the sage can probably help solve this permanent deformation like last time. If it really doesn't work, then wait for Lord Silver Dragon to come back and ask her for advice on how to permanently obtain a human body. In short, this is not a big problem.
Jenkins carefully put the amber stone and the two parts of the World Tree seed together and hid them next to his body, and then showed a kind expression to the cat who was following behind his feet but refused to get close. Chocolate immediately retreated a certain distance, and Jenkins hadn't seen that kind of obedient look for a long time.
As for Miss Stillwell, she and Old Jack met Dad just now, and learned the ins and outs of this matter.
"Did dad look for you a few days ago?"
asked Miss Stillwell.
"Yes, but because of Tarquin's sudden death, I didn't have time to see my father."
The two returned to the first floor together, and Jenkins showed her the Ratman baby and the elaborate mechanical umbrella on the counter.
"Father came to you a few days ago to talk to you about the curse on him."
"Dad, would you like to talk to me?"
Jenkins was taken aback. After all, Miss Stewell had never mentioned anything about the curse since she was an apprentice and became a teacher. And Jenkins has done his best, but he has studied with his father for less than a year, and the accumulated feelings are not comparable to those of the first three apprentices.
"I talked to you out of desperation. He must be prepared. Now is the end of the era, and the riots of various monsters are out of control. It seems that at this point in time, the power of monsters has also been strengthened."
"Is there something wrong with that key too?"
Jenkins realized this.
"Yes, the key itself is an extremely powerful monster, and it was more affected at the end of the era. Dad felt that he was about to be unable to suppress it, and it might have a big problem at any time, so I thought Confess this with you, so that when the key really goes out of control, someone can understand what happened."
Her expression and tone were a bit sad, most of it was because of her father's act of confessing her funeral, and a small part was because her father chose Jenkins instead of her.
The information about that key is cursed in itself, so it cannot be told to most people. Only the Holy Son and a small number of demigods can listen, or super-standard existences like the silver dragon lord Anastasia. The most trusted person Dad could find was, of course, his apprentice Jenkins. So Miss Stillwell is rationally understandable, but emotionally still sad.
"How's Dad doing now? And, where's old Mr. Jack?"
"They're fine, they're together now. What did you do outside just now? There was a crack in the sealed door for a short while, and Dad and Old Jack took this opportunity to send me out."
Miss Stillwell asked, and Jenkins talked about his discovery of the runes, and focused on the ugly green goblin.
PS: Amber stones were used for Jenkins at the time. The last time Changing Mouse was Chapter 829.
