Although she didn't want to go back with Jenkins for safety's sake, Miss Stillwell was obviously hesitating, and finally sighed heavily:
"Forget it, let's go together with you. I won't feel at ease until I see my father's matter resolved. Just wait for me, and I will change my image."
While waiting for Miss Stillwell to use the spell, Jenkins unexpectedly noticed that something was wrong nearby. Aunt Sally's souvenir shop next door was actually closed, but it was open for business more than an hour ago.
Jenkins knocked on the door, and Aunt Sally opened it from inside the shop:
"Are you closed today?"
he asked suspiciously.
"Open? With such a strong earthquake just now, I dare not stay in the store today. Jenkins, do you and Oliver want to go out of town with me? Today is really not suitable for opening a store."
She said quickly, and the employees in the store behind her were packing their luggage.
"earthquake?"
He was startled, thinking that the vibration he made in the antique shop had been discovered by the neighbors around him.
"Yes, it's similar to the earthquake when the black tower 'grew out' some time ago, let alone, I have to pack up quickly."
The plump middle-aged woman shook her head, then continued to direct her two employees to pack up. Jenkins said goodbye to her, and after joining Miss Stewell, who had completed the disguise, he spoke his guess:
"I'm afraid it's the third floor of that black tower protruding from the ground."
Follow the direction and look at the metal black tower hidden in the depths of the dense fog, without any shadow at all. In the field of vision of the Eye of Truth, the height of the tower depicted by the powerful black aura is significantly higher than the last time it was observed with the naked eye.
There was a click from the heart, and the gearing of the body started from the heart, but was immediately suppressed by Jenkins' own strength.
In order to prevent accidents, he immediately looked away and looked at other positions in the sky, but at this moment he saw the aura representing the gifter flying in the sky, one of which was the machine that Jenkins had seen on the night when the Mistborn was born a few days ago The demigod and holy son of the church, the other Jenkins doesn't know, although he is only at the seventh level, he is flying extremely fast. But Jenkins recognized the aura of a stranger holding a weapon, which was the [Wrath of Thor] that had been turned into a strange object.
"Miss Stillwell, can you fly?"
Jenkins, who was looking at the sky, asked suddenly. The latter didn't know why, so he shook his head hesitantly:
"Almost no one below the demigod can master the ability to fly, and I have never learned a similar ability. Why do you ask this?"
Jenkins still looked up, watching the pursuers circle in the air. Although the guy holding [Thunder God's Wrath] was fast, he was eventually hit by the explosives thrown by the Mechanic Church demigod.
He staggered to the ground, about three blocks away from Jenkins and Miss Stillwell. It was not ordinary there, the black aura gathered on the horizon, probably in an alley.
"Something went wrong, come with me."
He said quickly, and then stretched out his hand to his cat. The chocolate jumped into Jenkins' palm with a jerk, and then moved deftly down his arm to his shoulder.
Seeing Jenkins skillfully climbing up to the roof of Papa's Antique Store, Miss Stewell sighed, and also got into the side alley, chasing the man who was moving on the roof and ran to the distance .
Because the distance is quite far, by the time Jenkins and Ms. Stillwell arrived, the two demigods of the Church of Mechanics and Mr. Gref, the holy son, had already entered the alley, but the gifted man holding [Thunder God's Wrath] but disappeared.
Miss Stillwell did not appear, and Jenkins walked out of the thick fog with the cat. The three of them were surprised when they saw him, and then they were relieved when they saw him showing his green soul emblem to prove their identity:
"What's going on here? I just saw that someone fell down."
"This morning, the Church of the Sages handed over a numbered item to us, requesting assistance in identification. When transferring that item, the heretics from the Gear Craftsman Association rushed out and snatched it away."
Mr. Gref said with a sullen face, this is not a glorious thing, the handover was over at that time, and the people of the Church of Mechanics and Creation took it out of the Church of the Sages, so this is entirely the responsibility of the Church of Mechanics.
"what?"
Jenkins asked.
"A wrench."
The three of them immediately noticed the astonishment on the face of the sage Son, some of them even couldn't believe it:
"A silver wrench that can repair most of the mechanical creations?"
he asked.
"Yes."
Mr. Gref nodded his head:
"I heard that it was found in Nolan some time ago. Do you know that wrench?"
Jenkins could never have imagined such a turn of events. The wrench, which he had found on the instructions of the presumably dead Mr. Pisco, was an absolutely important item.
"That wrench might work to fix...! Where's the guy who took it?"
Jenkins' tone immediately became anxious, and he looked around, but couldn't see anything. The burly demigod, whose name Jenkins couldn't name, pressed his black hat and said:
"Probably... escaped, we will compensate."
"It's not just about compensation."
Jenkins shook his head violently. He never imagined that the Church would hand over the wrench to the Church of Mechanics to assist in identification. Back in the tavern, he didn't tell Miss Stewell about the possible function of the wrench. Looking at it now, this was a very stupid act.
Ignoring the three members of the Mechanical Church, Jenkins once again broke through the fog and walked into the distance. Although this was impolite, the three members of the Church of Mechanics thought he was angry, so they didn't say anything.
Jenkins found Miss Stillwell in the alley, and said directly:
"Do you remember the wrench in the tavern last time?"
"Remember."
The woman nodded immediately, seeing from Jenkins' rapid speech that he had discovered a big problem.
"Snatched away."
"What?"
"I suspect that the gear craftsman will use that wrench to repair the big guy underground, otherwise there is no reason to take the risk to snatch it. It was just a guess last time, but this time it is basically confirmed."
"Then now..."
"You go back to the church, report the matter of the old man and the matter here, and ask Miss Bevanna to apply to the Evergreen Forest, and send people directly to the eastern mining area to search for the lair of the Gear Craftsman Association. We all know that they are hiding in the mining area, I'm afraid there will be a big search this time."
He didn't tell Miss Stewell about the hiding place of the wounded and unconscious demigod that he learned through [Blood Source].
"how about you?"
Miss Stillwell nodded and asked again.
"It was lost by the Mechanicum, but I don't think that group of people will ever find the wrench."
If it weren't for this situation, Jenkins would never use this description to belittle others.
"I will go to the eastern mining area first to find traces of the cultists. After I find the location, I will make some noise directly, or notify you with a ceremony. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."
He said seriously:
"There is absolutely no way for a cultist to take that wrench into the ground, and even if that wrench might not work at all, we can't take the risk of that."
"I understand, you should be careful too. Dad is still waiting for you to save him."
After finishing speaking, Miss Stillwell gave Jenkins a gentle hug, then turned around and plunged into the thick fog in the alley. Jenkins watched the aura belonging to his senior sister disappear into the distance, and the anxious expression on his face immediately calmed down.
He turned around and looked at the thick fog outside the alley. While the cat was changing its fur color, his own image changed almost dozens of times per second.
The tall, thin man with an expressionless face whistled, and the unicorn broke through the space wall and ran towards it softly.
He took the cat out of the alley and stood next to the unicorn. The little beast lay obediently on the ground, rubbing its side face against the back of its owner's hand, waiting for Jenkins to sit up.
Jenkins looked up at the fog-shrouded sky:
"This time it's the turn of the believers of lies."
On Monday, Jenkins was attacked by what appeared to be a demigod from the Gearsmiths during his battle with the Children of the Mist. Although the process was a bit thrilling, and the treacherous [Thunder God's Wrath] also caused a lot of damage, in the end the enemy was successfully hit by [Profane Production].
Jenkins deliberately asked his companion to bring back the unconscious body in order to use the newly acquired ability [Blood Origin] to trace the location of that body.
His original intention was that he wanted his body to be taken underground, preferably directly in front of the difference engine, so that maybe all the troubles could be solved once and for all. But since Monday, the body's location has remained above the surface of Nolan's eastern mine.
Can't wait now, and Jenkins doesn't want to take the risk, even though he thinks it's impossible to fix the Difference Engine directly with that wrench alone.
The unicorn flew him into the sky. Under the cover of smoke, there was no need to be afraid of being spotted even in the daytime. He took out a wooden pipe from his pocket, and after unplugging it, it looked like clear water inside. In fact, if you looked closely, you could see a streak of blood floating in the water.
Jenkins carefully poured a small amount of milk into the palm of his left hand. Under the effect of [Blood Source] ability, the location of the owner of the drop of blood clearly appeared in his heart again.
Aiming in the direction, let the unicorn carry him straight over. Soon they were crossing the city and approaching the eastern mines. Nolan is adjacent to the mountain system in the middle of the mainland, and the east of the city is a famous rich ore area on the entire west coast. Not only coal, but also the gemstone mine invested by Jenkins is nearby.
Because of the concentration of workers, many bachelors live in dense and simple houses built illegally by mine owners. In addition to the place to stay, black-hearted shops and small clinics are also fully equipped, and the target Jenkins found is in a clinic.
