The team sent by the church and the kingdom to meet Salhi II and his party avoided the believers of lies standing in front of the bonfire, and went around to meet the returning team. The prepared blankets and hot water also came in handy.
As for the things that Jenkins nailed into the embers of the bonfire with his sword, the church also has corresponding sealing methods. Although it is a strange thing, it is also a soul in essence, and the rituals that work on the soul also work on it, but the effect is weakened.
"Papa Oliver means... this way please."
After Jenkins had withdrawn the sword, Mr. Gilbert walked with him to the tent nearest the fire. At this time, because of the return of the group, the camp was in chaos. Originally, Mr. Candle was forbidden to get close to Dolores, but in this case, the two passed by unexpectedly.
Resisting the urge to hug him, Dolores walked quickly to her father. Alexia stood there watching, and decided to follow Jenkins to see what happened next.
The scribe at the door lifted the curtain at the door of the tent for several people, and Jenkins, Alexia, and Mr. Gilbert walked in one by one.
In the center of the tent is a long table surrounded by eight wooden seats, and a simple cabinet is placed around the edge of the tent. A kerosene lamp was hung in the center of the tent, and hung from the top with iron chains to provide light. In addition, there is a silver candlestick on the table. The candlestick can hold three candles, but only one is lit now.
The three demigods of the Church of the Sages, the holy son Miss Stress and the old man, have already waited in it.
"Papa Oliver wants to speak to you personally."
Mr Gilbert said.
Alexia is not from the Church of the Sages, but because of Jenkins, everyone trusts her. In this way, each of the eight people in the tent was allocated a chair.
After sitting down, the old man who put his hands on the chair and put it on the table looked at the stranger opposite him, sighed deeply, and then asked an important question:
"The key can be given to you, but you need to explain why you asked for the key."
"That key is powerful, so we want it. But the curse that comes with it is equally dreadful, so the key remains with you, and we will claim it when the time is right.
This is the whole content of the deal. If the Church of the Sages can agree, then William can be found now, and the soul of the dragon can be given to him. "
"Where is the soul of the dragon with you?"
asked Dad.
"You can guess whatever you want, but the key now is the key. It's getting late, and it will be dawn if you drag it any longer. Please give me the answer. I'm still in a hurry to get home for breakfast."
Miss Streiss looked at her father, who hesitated for a moment, but still nodded:
"The Holy See has let me handle this on my own, and they won't interfere. I think... yes, I can say yes."
"Just saying this, there is no guarantee that it will be done in the future. After all, we can't get the physical key of that key now. Well, there is no need for Mr. Oliver to make a contract with us. I just want to see the key with my own eyes. key."
"The key is cursed, and anyone other than the holder will suffer from it if they look at it."
"It's okay, I don't care."
Then turned to Alexia and said:
"This lady over here, please go and invite William over here. Yes, it's right here. I don't think everyone wants to make any other changes to this matter."
As he spoke, he winked at Alexia, who nodded knowingly, then stood up and walked out.
Dad also had to agree:
"Then everyone except this gentleman, please go out, and arrange a ceremony outside this tent to prevent that terrible power from leaking out. Besides, no one except us can know what happened here, even Neither can believers of other righteous gods."
"You have the key with you?"
Jenkins asked with interest, and looked at Dad with his real eyes, but he didn't see any black aura.
"You'll find out after a while."
After confirming that the outside has been set up, the old man motioned Mr. Candle to watch carefully, and then asked a question:
"You don't think that only Class C gifts can be carried with you?"
Seeing the other party's suddenly realized expression, the old man clasped his two hands together, and then closed his eyes. The unusual power made both Jenkins and Choco couldn't help stretching out their heads to look at the hand inquiringly. Black light, black light visible to the naked eye shot out from between the father's fingers, and the [Silver Key] and [The Key to the Door] became restless at the same time.
Generally speaking, the principle of cannibalism will only show its clues when two items are extremely close. But this time, the two gifts are still in Jenkins' spirit, and the evolution key of the father has not been completely taken out, but the key has begun to desire to devour each other.
An indescribably huge and chaotic force emanated from the two palms of the father's closed hands, and it was as frightening as a general monster, but the feeling of being out of tune with the world was even stronger. The key that has not yet been revealed to Jenkins gives him the feeling that the priesthood appears in front of his eyes, so grand and vast, so...
"Huh? Priesthood?"
Speaking of which, the Skull Sword also had this feeling back then, but it disappeared after being defeated. Jenkins has seen very few priesthoods, so he can't be sure whether this is his illusion, but in short, the key held tightly in the hands of the old man is indeed extraordinary.
This is probably stronger than the skull sword, and it can be regarded as the strongest monster Jenkins has ever seen.
The black light scattered outward from the gap between the fingers, and Vanilla stood on Jenkins' shoulders as if facing an enemy, making a "meow~" sound that had no deterrent effect at all.
Vaguely, Jenkins actually saw the shadow of his father projected on the tent, turning into a monster with teeth and claws. But with just a blink of an eye, the illusion disappeared.
Even if Jenkins didn't directly look at it, just the strength revealed would cause Jenkins, who already has such strength, to hallucinate. This is not a joke.
"I want to ask again, are you sure you want to see the key with your own eyes? I can't guarantee what will happen, you must think about it."
Dad warned again.
"It's okay, I've already thought about it."
Jenkins said cautiously.
"Do you want to leave your real information, if something happens to you, we can find it..."
"No need, just open your palm."
"Okay then, but it's only one second, otherwise I can't guarantee that the ceremony outside the tent will still work. Don't blink, it's only one second..."
Jenkins stood up, put his hands on the table and leaned forward with his cat. The old man also stretched out his arms, so that the tightly hugged palms were in the best irradiation range of the kerosene lamp above his head.
"Don't blink."
He warned again, and opened his palm without giving Jenkins a chance to answer.
Jenkins believed he saw a black iron key, old-fashioned and unremarkable. But at the next moment, an inexplicable throbbing made the spirit of the whole body tremble violently with the beating of the heart.
Before he could understand what happened, he closed his palms together, and the key was taken back by his father again. Jenkins froze for a few seconds with a surprised expression before slowly retracting his body and sitting heavily back on the chair.
"See clearly?"
The old man asked, and he let out a sigh of relief after confirming that the key had been taken back.
"See clearly, it is indeed a very powerful thing. You are indeed the teacher of William, and you can contain this level of monsters by yourself."
"Holding the key is actually not difficult. The difficult thing is... If you really want to use it later, you will understand. Are you satisfied now? Is there anything else you can do?"
"I want to know exactly how the key is used."
"This is a key, how do you think it will be used?"
Pop stood up to go out, leaving this place for the believers in lies and Jenkins who arrived later.
"Can you be more specific?"
"The detailed use method, I will tell you when you want to use it... Well, I can say this, I was originally a demigod, but now I can perfectly suppress the power to this level because I use the key of."
He didn't stop after he finished speaking, and walked out of the tent. Jenkins raised his hand to touch the sweat on his forehead, then put the vanilla on the table and stroked it slowly, as if he didn't realize that the cat saw the key with him.
"Even if that key isn't a priesthood, it's definitely something quite extraordinary."
He said to himself in his heart, and then called out the ability light spot. Just because he actually watched for less than a second, one of his abilities changed.
[Cycle (White Base)]→[Four Seasons (White Base)]
The original circulation ability itself has elements related to "evolution", so it is understandable that it can complete evolution under the stimulation of the key. Both Dad and Miss Audrey have proposed that [Cycle] has the potential to continue to evolve into a new ability, while [Four Seasons] is different from the direction of evolution proposed by Dad and Miss Audrey.
This ability is still of the basic type, and when Jenkins tried to activate it, he got no response.
"Passive ability? What do you mean? Also, what is the relationship between the four seasons and evolution?"
The doubts could not be answered for the time being, so he temporarily projected back to his home on St. George Street. After Alexia arrived, she went to the camp on the outskirts of the city with her, entered the tent alone, and completed the "transfer of the soul of the dragon".
His acting skills are very good, no one can tell, and there is only one person in the tent from beginning to end. And after confirming that Jenkins really got the four king souls, the joy and joy on the father's face were almost completely undisguised through his expression.
"So, father, what's the price?"
PS: Jenkins still has two blank bubbles left after the Paradox of Possibilities. One of them must be the [Uncrowned King], so everyone can guess what the rest will be.
