Jenkins changed the subject and patted the podium in front of him lightly. Chocolate was shocked, and looked up at him somewhat dissatisfied.
"Although they are similar, there is a big difference between the two. The biggest difference is that the consequences of the tulip mania are far greater than Miss Fabry's deception. 'Tulip mania' may completely defeat the entire region. The economy and the market, this is what the financial reform must pay attention to... ”
Seeing the people whispering in the audience, Jenkins pointed in the direction of Dolores:
"In order for us to have a better understanding of this tulip mania, why don't we review Miss Fabri's deception first. I think I missed some important content in the previous speech... Miss Stuart, why don't you replace me?" Let me tell you something. Yes, she is my student. During my stay in Loen, I established a good friendship with Princess Stuart, Dolores, come quickly~"
After finishing speaking, ignoring the confused Dolores and the people's doubts, he picked up the cat and walked out quickly through the side door of the lecture hall.
Captain Bincy, who was waiting here one step ahead, directly stated the reason for the gesture just now:
"There is a problem, a very serious problem, and something strange has appeared."
"What monster?"
Since Captain Bincy interrupted the speech rashly, Jenkins must be implicated in this matter.
"Can't the church fix it?"
He asked again before Captain Bincy could answer.
"It's not an ordinary monster, it's A-08-1-0006."
According to the general principle, particularly dangerous monsters may not necessarily be numbered higher, but the monsters with higher numbers are definitely particularly dangerous or have extraordinary characteristics.
"0A-8-1-0006?"
Jenkins asked in surprise, and after getting a definite answer, he immediately remembered what it was. At this time, Chocolate had woken up from his drowsiness excitedly, as if he heard that he was about to eat:
"[Human Body Puzzle]? How is it possible that this set of monsters has been contained and sealed long ago? I remember my father said that this is a unique monster. It was taken in at a terrible price, and it is now sealed in the underground of the Holy See of the Mechanical Church, and no matter when, there will always be a Holy Son of the Mechanical Church guarding the seal."
This can be regarded as the most dangerous monster in the material world. [Human Puzzle] As the name suggests, it is a puzzle that can be put together into a human body. This is not a two-dimensional paper puzzle, but a three-dimensional metal sheet "puzzle". The metal pieces that make up the puzzle are similar in shape to a regular triangular pyramid, but each face has an inward triangular depression, and the material of the metal pieces is steel alloy.
Because of the fineness of the metal pieces, different puzzle methods can be used to piece together human figures of different shapes. The most basic feature of A-08-1-0006 [Human Puzzle] is that it has intelligence and can piece itself together.
It can piece together the appearance of any humanoid creature it has seen, and after it is successfully pieced together, although it maintains a strange metal appearance, it has exactly the same power as the prototype of the pieced together humanoid creature.
For example, if [Human Puzzle] witnessed Miss Bevanna, then when it pieced together Miss Bevanna, it would have the complete ability of the eighth-level demigod of the Church of the Sages. If it has witnessed Miss Broniones, then the assembled human body has the ability of a ninth-level prophet.
The trickiest part is, once sighted, to permanently record it. In other words, A-08-1-0006 actually has the records of all powerful humanoid creatures it has witnessed from ancient times to the present.
If this is the case, then the strongest state of [Human Body Puzzle] is nothing more than the human-shaped Son, and the specious magical power replaced by the power of monsters can also be defeated after gathering more Holy Sons in the material world.
But the humanoid creatures that can be pieced together by jigsaw puzzles include ABC humanoid creatures. In addition, in the case of not being actively scattered, there is almost no time difference for the jigsaw to change its image, so dealing with A-08-1-0006 [Human Jigsaw] is equivalent to dealing with most of the well-known humanoid monsters and extraordinary humanoids throughout the ages. And Jenkins has only heard of the Humanoid Bounty.
This is quite scary, some single monsters are very powerful, but they have targeted restraint methods. But when the monsters appeared in turn, the church couldn't come up with the means to deal with hundreds of monsters in just a few minutes.
According to records, the Seventeenth Era defeated [Human Puzzle] by relying on the means of the Church of Nature. At the moment when the jigsaw puzzle was trying to disperse and reassemble, the two holy sons of the Church of Nature consumed a gift C-02-2-0047 [Earth Roots] and two extraordinary B-01-1-8381 [Elf's Arrow of Destruction], B-01-5-0224 [Song of Nature], let the Arrow of Destruction carry the roots of the earth blessed by the song of nature, and penetrate into the metal gap.
The growing roots temporarily blocked the closure of the jigsaw puzzle, thus creating a vacuum period of more than ten seconds before the jigsaw puzzle was formed, allowing the demigods of the Orthodox Church to break it up again and again, and finally completed the containment.
This is all Jenkins knows about this monster. In his opinion, a monster of this level should be strictly guarded during the special period at the end of the era, and it should not be contained out of control.
"The Church of Mechanics has confirmed that the A-08-1-0006 [Human Puzzle] that is contained in their Holy See still exists. This is the news I received while waiting for you after I entered the lecture hall to confirm that you saw the gesture .”
"So, there is more than one A-08-1-0006 [Human Puzzle]?"
Jenkins was surprised.
"No, there is indeed only one. The Twelve Churches have verified many times in the past, and the [Human Puzzle] that appeared in history is the same set. The Keeper put forward a view. The [Human Puzzle] that now appears in Nolan is replica."
"Someone copied the monster? It's... oh, it's this thing."
He stomped his foot to hint at the difference engine in the ground, and Captain Bincy nodded:
"The idea of the keeper has been supported by most people. One of the reasons is that there is a difference in the shape of the basic parts of the puzzle between Nolan's [Human Body Puzzle] and the one contained by the Church of Mechanics. Except for the regular triangular pyramid In addition, there are some gear-shaped things in the jigsaw puzzle. Also, the [Human Body Puzzle] that is currently active, the simulated human demigod can reach the full strength of the opponent, but the simulated monsters and supernaturals are always inferior to the prototype powerful."
"So there is a high probability that it is a replica?"
"Yes. But even if it is a weakened version, according to its characteristics, this thing is not so easy to deal with. Now the Evergreen Forest saves the combat power to prevent the forest from being attacked, and most of the demigods and holy sons have already participated in the battle Yes. The demigods in the city churches have not moved yet, and the church is worried that the appearance of the [Human Body Puzzle] is to lure the church to weaken the church’s defenses, and the cultists may have other purposes.”
To inform Jenkins, naturally hope that Jenkins can join the battlefield. The method of defeating the [Human Body Puzzle] in the last era can no longer be repeated. Although none of the three special items are unique, the church now has none.
But this kind of thinking can be used for reference, and although the church does not have three items, the current puzzle is not the one that can almost simulate the full strength of all monsters.
So the church hopes that the [World Tree Seedling] will be there, and by using the powerful ability of the World Tree Seedling to control plants, and with the items similar to [Earth Roots] found by the Orthodox Church, there may be a small probability that it will be the same as the previous era Defeat [Human Body Puzzle].
"this… "
Jenkins hesitated, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he was sure that this method would never succeed. He had heard of C-02-2-0047 [Earth Roots] from the old elf, and this gift actually had another name, which was [Root of the Old World Tree].
One of the reasons for elves to leave the material world is the decline of the original world tree. Before the group left, they only took away the living seeds of the World Tree, some ordinary branches and bark, and the most vigorous branch that represented the essence of the World Tree.
And the huge body of the World Tree did not completely turn into ashes after the elves left. Due to various reasons, the remnants of the old world tree eventually turned into BC items, which also reflects the power of the world tree.
Among them, the root was named [Earth Tentacles] by the church. This is actually because the church that originally named such objects was the Church of the Earth.
It is simply impossible to find a substitute for the roots of the old world tree. Jenkins is very sure that no matter what the substitute is, it is impossible to have the power of [Earth Roots].
The containment record of [Human Body Puzzle] that I learned from my father is very clear. Even the roots of the World Tree only exist in the gaps of the jigsaw puzzle for less than ten seconds, and the smashing jigsaw puzzle was completed in the seventh second. , After that, the split puzzle is still strangling the roots, and the two almost died at the same time.
The next-level substitute may not be able to last even a second, which is of no use to the battle. Not to mention, the key to getting the tentacles into the gaps in the puzzle is B-01-1-8381 [Elf's Arrow of Destruction], otherwise it is just roots and does not have the ability to penetrate metal gaps.
"The church knows how important the speech you're doing is, and shouldn't have bothered, but the [Jigsaw Puzzle] thing is a big deal. The church advises, suspend the speech, or find someone to replace you. The church can help seal the town hall until you get back Before, no one wanted to leave."
This approach is certainly possible, but when Jenkins is not in the city hall, other serious problems will inevitably arise, and there is no guarantee that he can really solve the [Human Puzzle] within an hour or two.
