Worried that the church would come after him at any time, Jenkins did not use methods he should not have used himself. At the same time that the giant palm slapped it, the strangely shaped bone giant wheel that had been waiting for a long time suddenly began to rotate rapidly in the depression in the sand.
The bone spurs on the periphery of the giant wheel pierced the air, and amidst the sound of the sonic boom, they fired at the metal giant like a machine gun. Before the giant palm fell, although the giant's body surface was not pierced by bones, it was forcefully pushed down by the huge bone spurs that kept hitting it.
Jenkins took this opportunity to leap off, away from the metal giant, and fall into the sand below.
The gear chain tentacles controlling the giant conveyed the terrifying power deep underground. The giant wanted to struggle to stand up, and Jenkins was ready to fight back, but at this moment, a voice appeared in the air.
Looking up, Miss Bevanna, Mr. Gilbert, and Miss Streiss appeared from behind the fog layer in the sky. Of course I was very happy to see Jenkins was fine, but the four of them had no eye problems, so what they could see more clearly were the weird old town around them and the giant trying to get up.
"Seedlings of the World Tree, see you next time."
There was no warning, just leaving this sentence, and the giant who was about to get up fell to the ground. When the two demigods and a holy son of the Sage Church landed in front of Jenkins, he was very sure that the other party had retreated.
The four of them looked around and found no abnormal creatures nearby. Jenkins looked at the town in front of him, touched the small bottle in his pocket, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After that, Jenkins was pulled by Miss Bevanna and flew into the sky. When he reached a certain height, the old town disappeared, and the scenery of Nolan's coastline reappeared, and there was only a thick fog that obscured his vision below.
Confused, Jenkins knew that now was not a good time to explore, so he could only go back with the three of them and wait for the church to investigate what happened here. He was going to fetch his cat back, and he had to explain to the old elf the whereabouts of the severed bone.
As for the matter here, the church will investigate clearly.
This night's experience did not give Jenkins any substantial help. Even the meeting with the difference engine can only be regarded as a useless episode.
But the church took this opportunity to discover the anomaly that Nolan was experiencing. It had nothing to do with the metal gear tentacles of the difference engine that left in a hurry. After investigation, the group of small fog wrapped around the beach belonged to the "space anomaly zone" .
After entering the fog, we arrived at an unknown town. This is not a transfer of space, but a superposition of space. For unknown reasons, Nolan's beach and the distant foreign town are superimposed together, becoming "the same place."
There are boundaries in this area, whether it is from above, east, west, north, south, or even below, as long as they are out of the coverage of the space anomaly zone, people who enter there from Nolan can return to Nolan smoothly, and those who actually exist in Cheslan People who enter the town can return to the wilderness around the town.
Although there was no one in the town, the origin was quickly found through investigations inside the town. There is the land of Urcheslan, in the desolate and rocky mountains unsuitable for agriculture in the northern part of the kingdom. About ten years ago, the remote town was abandoned due to issues such as administrative divisions and population migration, so when Jenkins landed on top of the mechanical giant, he saw a deserted appearance with no human habitation.
Because the town is located in the north of Cheslan, it has not been annexed by the fire for the time being. After on-the-spot investigation, it was also shrouded in a dense fog. After entering the range of the fog, although it was still a small town, a huge gear giant could be seen, and there were inexplicably large sandy areas in the town, and the low-lying areas were even worse. Submerged by sea water.
After leaving the dense fog, you can return to the normal area outside the town. However, the church's follow-up experiments found that when two people from the coast of Nolan and near the small town of Cheslan tried to leave the space anomaly at the same time, they would appear in the position where the person who walked in front came.
In other words, the overlapping beaches and abandoned towns have become a "space channel" connecting the pier on the west coast of the mainland and the wasteland on the east coast of the mainland. But this channel is not stable, not every time you can get out of it smoothly. The evidence is the disappearance of the bestowers who originally guarded the place.
The benefactors of the Church of Mechanics and the Church of Death are guarding and sheltering the gear giants, and they will rotate every three days according to regulations. But after Jenkins accidentally discovered the anomaly in that area, all the benefactors of the Orthodox Church who were supposed to be nearby disappeared.
The church originally thought they were lost in the town, but subsequent searches failed to find any traces.
On Sunday, the second day after the incident, Jenkins participated in a joint meeting in the Church of Death. The main content of the meeting was "unified placement of containment items to prevent the arrival of the doomsday from causing a large-scale containment loss of control." During the break between meetings, he learned from the gravekeeper of the Church of Death that he basically believed that the missing givers had died.
The cause of death was discovered by fortune tellers of the Church of Destiny. After interpreting the results of the fortune tellers, they believed that the missing persons had fallen into the "gap of space" and would be forever exiled in a field that mortals could not reach. It was a brutal way to die, but neither the Church nor Jenkins could do anything about it.
What Jenkins is most curious about is actually the reason for the phenomenon of space overlap. He originally thought it was related to the difference engine, but there is no evidence that the difference engine has the ability to manipulate space changes.
No one was able to answer his question, but most people believed that it should be attributed to the arrival of the end. Space anomalies are one of the manifestations of world anomalies, and should be accidental events with a small probability.
But in the evening when this conclusion was not reached for a long time, a second cloud of thick fog appeared in the mine in the east of Nolan City, and merged the mine with the village in the south of Hampawa, causing at least dozens of people to be buried in the mine. Later, the church also paid attention to this matter.
Jenkins inspected the mine on Sunday evening, and under the action of the Eye of Reality, he discovered some spiritual gears buried deep underground. But the mine was originally an area where artisans would be active, so finding those scattered gears proved nothing, and his actions were considered fruitless.
But whether it is a mechanical conspiracy or a natural disaster under the doomsday, Jenkins is full of a sense of crisis. After returning from the mine on Sunday night, he did not go home to rest, but asked Sigrid to meet alone in the evergreen forest.
Under the giant tree, he held each part of the world tree seed in both hands and showed it to Sigrid. After he obtained the soul of the tree, the metal-like seeds transformed into walnuts, but the volume did not increase:
"I can't wait for this matter. I plan to put the seeds together as soon as possible. No matter what happens in the future, it's better than knowing nothing now."
"As long as you make up your mind, I will definitely support you. No one knows what will happen when we put together, but you are right, it is more useful to try than to sit and die. Do you need me to do anything?"
Sigrid asked.
Jenkins shook his head:
"I will tell the church about this and let the church be prepared to prevent accidents. My elder said that it is best to arrange a large-scale ceremony that can channel the spirit. I hope you can participate as a witness. World Tree Sacrifice Among the bloodlines of the material world, it is estimated that there are only the two of us who have become the bestowers and have the power of bloodlines, and I hope you can see this with your own eyes."
Sigrid naturally would not disagree.
The inexplicable space transfer event made Jenkins feel extremely uneasy, and inspiration reminded him that this was a harbinger of something dangerous.
He explained to the church that he wanted to try to awaken the [World Tree Seedling], and the church expressed support. In order to prevent long nights and dreams, he only set aside one day on Monday to prepare. On Tuesday, Jenkins asked Jenkins to gather the World Tree Seed under the tree in the Evergreen Forest .
And in the short three days that started Saturday, things didn't stand still because of Jenkins' decision. The Three Kings Talks and the Joint Meeting of the Twelve Churches unfolded in an orderly manner. The fires in the South were raging. Abnormal events around the world plunged churches and ordinary people into danger and anxiety. Mechanized corpses continued to appear, and the fog covering the sky spread from the city to the countryside. Faintly connected together.
It seems that in a short week, the whole world realized that the world is facing change, and it is not a very good change. Even Britney asked Jenkins what was wrong with the world.
Jenkins reassured the blond girl, telling her that this was the time.
Taking advantage of the Sage Church’s preparations in the Evergreen Forest on Monday to prevent the impact of the closing of the World Tree seeds from spreading too widely, Jenkins also has his own things to do.
He asked Alexia about the way to summon the coachman, and took advantage of the leisure time after breakfast on Monday morning to set up the ritual array in the basement of his home.
In order to prevent Hathaway from finding out that Jenkins had known her secret whereabouts, Jenkins arranged to avoid the girls at home. He let his reliable cat stand guard at the basement door, and then placed the materials that Alexia had prepared for him on the ground.
The ritual matrix was carved on the ground with the Holy Sword of Bone, and Alexia thought that using the holy sword that was once a monster would have a better effect than the silver dagger.
Throwing the Silence Charm by the wall, Jenkins put the last piece of amethyst inlaid with obsidian in the corresponding position, and then threw a [Seed of Blasphemy] high. Now he only has four sin coins.
As the sin coin was thrown into the air, the spirit activated the ritual on the ground. Billowing black smoke emerged from the ritual array carved on the ground, and before the sin coin flew to the highest point, the black smoke had spread to almost every corner of the basement.
Jenkins put on his monocle and watched the aura representing the coachman appear out of thin air. When his coin fell, a dark hand reached out from the black smoke to catch it.
