The mechanical gear giant in the thick fog was the first time Jenkins fought Pirate King "The Thief" Divo a few months ago. Divo used the creations of the Gear Craftsmanship to activate the mechanical power system of the entire ship. Wonders of creation.
The church kept it here temporarily, and finally welcomed Jenkins again on this ordinary night.
Regarding Pirate King Thief Divo, there is actually one more incident left over. Jenkins briefly saw the future in the art gallery, and his future self reminded himself to kill DeVo by a certain date.
It was later proved that the mechanical giant activated by Divo with the technology of the Gear Craftsman Association was not the purpose of the creation of the Craftsman Society at all. Divo discovered the new power of mechanical gearing by himself. As a result, Jenkins was asked to kill Diwo, in order to prevent Diwo's new ideas from being passed on to the Artisan Association as the two parties further contacted, and then learned by the difference machine.
Jenkins wasn't quite sure what would happen if the improbable happened. But now he understands very well that once the skeletal remains in his hands are fused with that mechanical giant, the mechanical giant that has stopped moving will have the power of two monsters [Seven Days Rebirth] and [Curse of Corpse Mechanization], and a brand new monster will be born. He couldn't imagine how strong things are.
But all attempts to destroy those bones were blocked by the layer of black mist wrapped around the arm. Seeing that the flying altitude had been lowered, Jenkins felt overwhelmed, chanted an ancient mantra, and activated an ability that had never been used seriously:
[Bone Sacrifice]
A light gray transparent ritual matrix appeared in the air out of thin air. As the black mist and hand bones were completely engulfed by the ritual matrix, Jenkins, who had no support, also fell from the air.
He deftly landed on the top of the gear mechanical giant, and then looked up under the moonlit night, as the hand bones and black mist disappeared, an ugly huge white bone undead that looked like a wheel fell to the beach.
In fact, it is indeed a round wheel, except that there are densely packed bony spurs on the outer ring, and in the center of the many spokes is a bone ball with many skulls aggregated. It fell and was embedded in the soft sand, almost half the height of the mechanical giant.
Although it appeared to be motionless, Jenkins could feel himself in control of it. This is the undead servant summoned by the sacrifice, and Jenkins cannot be dismissed freely. As long as there is no battle damage, this thing will probably not disappear until around sunrise.
"It's finally over."
Relieved, Jenkins stood on top of the giant's head and whispered, coughing as he was choked by the smell in the air, and was about to say hello to the Church's benefactors who were monitoring and controlling the containment nearby, and asked about the abnormal concentration of gray fog here what's going on.
But looking around at this time, he couldn't see the shadow of the coast that he saw when he was in the air. Although there is a sandy beach near the mechanical giant and the bone gear, looking into the distance, there are actually some dilapidated old buildings lined up in the fog in all directions.
The streets spread out in all directions around the gear giant. Row upon row of buildings are at random, and even the towering chimneys can be vaguely seen in the distance. It's just that there is no smoke coming from the chimneys, all the buildings are not lit, and there are no signs of human activities as far as the eye can see.
What should have been the coast, docks and warehouses are now taken by towns. No matter where this place is, this place cannot be Nolan.
So far, tonight's "adventure" has been pretty exciting. It's not that Jenkins has no experience of straying into unfamiliar places like this, so he didn't panic, but wanted to jump off the mechanical giant to see the situation. But before he could take any action, he felt the "big guy" under his feet move.
"The gear giant is alive?"
He was secretly surprised, but he didn't panic. His mental strength pulled and controlled the giant bone wheel embedded in the ground, and at the same time he called out his cane, clenched the upper end with both hands and pressed down hard.
With a long and toothache sound of "ding~", the lower end of the cane under the control of the power of life "rooted and sprouted", like tentacles expanding outward, spreading from the top of the mechanical giant's head to the whole body.
The giant didn't struggle, nor did he raise his hand to slap the "little mouse" on his forehead. As the steam emerged from the gap in the giant's body, the sound of "Zi~" and the steam white mist spread to the surroundings. The giant spoke, and Jenkins spoke in a familiar tone:
"The holy son of the sage, the lucky one favored by the World Tree, I want to make a deal with you."
Although the speech was much more coherent, it was obvious that this was the difference engine deep in the ground. Jenkins looked down at the ground, and as expected, some iron-gray metal hexagonal prisms popped out from under the sand, and the pillars were connected to metal gear tentacles. Those tentacles spread upward from the gear giant's feet and made contact with Jenkins' vines at the giant's chest.
Both looked like morning glory vines that covered the walls, and the vine tentacles growing from Jenkins' cane were clearly outnumbered. Even if this can be interpreted as the confrontation on the surface of the metal gear giant's body, the power of the gear itself has an advantage. But now Jenkins is operating the main body, and the main body of the difference engine is still deep in the ground, and the power used on the ground is absolutely incomplete.
So this once again shows that Jenkins in a mortal state is definitely not an opponent of the Difference Machine.
"What deal?"
He asked calmly, trying his best to control the output of the cane and the spirit of life.
"Help me, Earth of Steel, Empire of Gears..."
It is not much different from what he said to the believers of lies last time. It seems that the other party knows the status of the current savior. After persuading the believers of lies to no avail, they approached Jenkins from the "other camp".
"Don't dream, I am a half-elf, the blessing of the spirit of life, do you think I will help the mechanical power?"
"But you also control death, and life is not the only one for you."
"I heard your conversation with the believers of lies. Since those people don't agree, I will not agree. No matter what you want to do, you are doomed to fail."
He said, leaning on his cane with one hand, and fumbling in his pocket with the other for the holy silver vial containing the potion. I was glad that I left the chocolate in the cemetery just now, otherwise it would be easy to accidentally injure it in a fight now.
This time, the irritating metal voice didn't say "don't cooperate, die" anymore, and those metal tentacles that kept jumping up directly plunged into the gaps on the gear giant's body. As more and more scorching steam spewed out, amidst the sound of teeth squeezing metal, the giant raised his hand and slapped it on the top of his head.
