The piece of metal was too large to be tucked directly into the clothes in front of so many people, so it was temporarily held by Jenkins' lowered hand.
The applause of the people lasted for at least two minutes before subsiding. Jenkins stretched out his hand to signal that people could sit down. Next, he would talk about the proper handling of Tulip Mania.
At present, the price of tulips is still at a high level, and the key to let the price fall skillfully is to completely resolve the whole matter. This is something related to the flower girls. Jenkins intends to use the flower girl union to calm the aftermath of the tulips, which kills two birds with one stone.
At this time, the green light in the distance has reached its peak, and the battlefield in the distance has reached its final moment.
Sigrid drew the bow and arrow.
Although bows and arrows, a cold weapon that requires training to use, are rare in this era, but as a gifter, especially a gifter of the Church of Nature, Sigrid has of course been trained in archery.
But she never thought that a bow could be so difficult to draw. B-01-4-7217 [Gravity of Falling Stars] is said to be a weapon from the astral world. It has been kept by the Church of Nature. In history, there were also Many people have used it, and some are even preserved permanently in the church of the Church of Nature together with this bow in the form of oil paintings.
But no one has ever complained that this bow is difficult to use, so that Sigrid originally thought that the biggest difficulty she would encounter was that the arrows she shot could not hit the target.
At this moment, under the gloomy sky because the solar eclipse has not yet disappeared, dozens of chains composed of pure golden magic spirits criss-cross the block to imprison [Human Puzzle], and the demigod level from the tree house The alien vampires retreated steadily under the siege of the three and a half gods of the church.
Demigods sound scary, and they've been mechanized, but they're mortal after all. Compared to [Human Body Puzzle], demigod vampires are not a threat at all.
The appearance of the [Human Puzzle] at this time belongs to the creepy thing A-12-3-3832 [Silent Killer]. This is a kind of monster with unique attack and damage ability to humanoid creatures. When wearing a helmet and not speaking, it has special abilities such as space movement and phantom. The weapon used is a silver sharp that seems to be able to continuously regenerate scalpel.
In the state of taking off the headgear and roaring wildly, while possessing the above-mentioned characteristics, the monster has added abilities such as immortality, mental shock, dreaming, hallucination, deformation, flight, energy release, and poisonous gas barrier that exist specifically for killing people. In the silent state, you must kill it to make the monster disappear. In the non-silent state, the only way to kill it is to be pierced into the heart by a silver weapon engraved with the holy emblem of [Death End].
But for [Human Body Puzzle], the moment the weapon approaches, he can lose his shortcomings through deformation, so in fact this form has almost no weaknesses.
But being unable to kill does not mean that there is no other way. Although the chains representing the power of divine magic were suppressed by the solar eclipse, they are also suppressing the power of [Human Puzzle].
The church and Sigrid made it very clear that the chain will fail after 23 seconds, and it is conceivable that the human body puzzle will be deformed at that moment. And what Sigrid needs to do is to hit any part of the human body puzzle at the moment of transformation in the twenty-third second with the [Elf's Arrow of Destruction] that is wrapped around the tentacles turned into by the song of nature and blessed by the song of nature. parts.
The arrow that is about to be fired will determine the outcome of the battle that has lasted for several hours. Sigrid has never been given such a major responsibility. Unlike Jenkins, although she is also a gifted person in the organization of the Orthodox Church, she definitely does not have as diverse and exciting experiences as Jenkins.
"Can I do it?"
Standing on the roof of a building two blocks away, she asked herself as she drew her bow. Although the distance is a bit far away, Sigrid has the ability of [Eagle Eye (White Foundation)], so she can clearly see her target.
In order to protect Sigrid from being disturbed by those mechanized corpses during her archery, the church arranged for people to protect her on the roof, including Alexia who had just arrived.
After Jenkins vouched for Alexia's identity, she was regarded as a demigod of the Church of the Sages. Because of the relationship with Jenkins, no one would have any objections to coming to protect Sigrid.
Seeing Sigrid's hesitant look, Alexia asked softly behind her:
"Nervous? Don't worry, Jenkins is watching you."
The bronze-colored mechanical flying bird above the head was still hovering, and the church also noticed it, but the lie believers who thought everything would be involved in it were watching, so they didn't pay attention.
"Yes, although Jenkins says I can do it..."
She tried not to look at Alexia behind her from the corner of her eye, so as to maintain her concentration:
"After all, nothing like this has ever been done."
Someone was already counting the seconds behind him, which reminded Sigrid to seize the short opportunity.
The bow in his hand has the power of the astral world, calm and heavy, cold without any temperature, just like the stars that seem to be unchanged from ancient times. And that arrow has a warm temperature, which is the familiar temperature of the spirit of life. For the priestly descendants of the World Tree, this kind of temperature will never be wrong.
This temperature can bring peace to a somewhat disturbed heart, but it is difficult for the psychological effect to affect the current situation.
Her body was glowing, emerald green light, and the arrows and staff resonated with people. At this moment, unprecedented powerful power filled her body, and Sigrid immediately understood that this power could indeed defeat the enemy in front of her, provided that she could really shoot the arrow at the most suitable time.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you trust Jenkins and trust him, you can definitely succeed."
Alexia said again, this sentence hides a deep meaning about Jenkins' identity, but unfortunately no one can hear it. So Sigrid pictured what Jenkins looked like in her mind, but she didn't think it was real.
Then, sketching the black-and-white kitten on his imaginary shoulder, Jenkins instantly came to life.
She stared blankly in front of her, as if Jenkins was standing right in front of her. But instead of concentrating, it made the spirit even more tense.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Alexia grabbed her hand from behind, almost in an embracing posture, but because Alexia was shorter, it didn't look very ambiguous.
The short lady's hand grabbed Sigrid's hand holding the arrow, and then, with a light green spirit of life, it migrated from Sigrid to Alexia like an infection. body.
Alexia was also present when the evergreen forest was formed, and thus gained the ability of [Growth Boost]. Based on this ability at the moment, it resonated with Sigrid. Although Alexia is not a descendant of the World Tree seedling or an elf, she can still play a supporting role.
"Focus on the front and relax."
She said that Sigrid tensed up, and then saw something strange appearing in front of her eyes.
The first is an ever-changing countdown in the upper right corner of the field of vision, and the count at this time is 17. Immediately afterwards, a circle drawn by a thin red line appeared in the center of the field of vision, and then four short lines centered on the center of the circle appeared inside the circle, extending up, down, left, and right, but did not touch the outer circle.
At the center of the big circle, that is, the center where the broken line points, a small circle appears, and inside the small circle is a small cross.
Sigrid tried to turn her eyes, but this strange thing remained in the center of her vision.
"Don't be nervous, I'm helping you aim. Inspired by Jenkins, I have a new idea recently. Oh, my basic ability is mathematics and calculation, so I can help you with auxiliary shooting. Now align the center of vision with the target, Then wait for the moment the countdown reaches zero and shoot that arrow."
The things that appeared in front of her eyes were a bit too miraculous. Although it was easy to understand, Sigrid was still distracted. When she woke up from thinking about the lady behind her, the reading behind her and the countdown in the corner of her vision had reached 3.
She tensed her arm muscles, and according to what Sigrid said, she aimed the cross in the center of her vision at a target two streets away. Those golden chains are already crumbling, and the jigsaw puzzle is struggling crazily.
2.
Her right hand wanted to draw back a little more, making the bowstring stretch even wider. She thought she would be restrained by Alexia who was holding her hand, but she didn't expect the latter to almost force herself together with her. She felt that the other party seemed to be very familiar with her physical condition and exertion skills.
1.
It was too late to think so much, Sigrid dispelled the image of Jenkins with a cat on his back and a silly smile in his heart, held his breath, and moved his spirit into the arrow and the "roots" along his arms. The resonance between the two sides produced some strange phenomena. Sigrid thought that she saw a big tree at a certain moment, but no one else seemed to see it.
0.
The green light seemed to be a huge spear that pierced the air, and the sharp sound of piercing the air only lasted for a short time before stopping abruptly, followed by crazy howls and indescribable sharp metal scraping sounds.
This arrow exhausted all of Sigrid's strength, she didn't even look at the result, she put down the bow weakly, her legs were weak, but she didn't fall down because Alexia was behind her to support her.
"Maybe it worked?"
she asked wearily.
"Of course it worked, and actually, by my calculations, it's about as likely to fail as Jenkins is to fail."
Someone offered water, and after Sigrid reached out to take it, she handed the bow in her hand to Miss Bennett, and then prepared to leave the roof with Alexia.
"He has always had confidence in you. You have to be more confident. In this way, many things that have not been done before can be achieved."
Sigrid thought she had heard something else, but soon thought it was her madness. She managed to maintain this smile, and walked up the steps with Alexia, feeling uneasy and looking forward to the future in her heart.
But in any case, at least the matter at hand has been resolved.
PS: The original plan was for Jenkins to shoot the arrow from a distance through the vision sharing of the bronze bird in the city hall. After thinking about it, there was absolutely no need to do this. He was too busy in the city hall, so there was no need to worry about other things. Besides, other girls also need to have a part in the show, otherwise it will become a vase.
