Now the black-robed man's reward in the church has risen to 2,000 pounds, and the reward in the police station is also 2,000 pounds. Now, in addition to robbery and murder in rainy nights, desecration of corpses, and cheating, he also has an additional charge of destroying public facilities in the city.
That's right, the central civic plaza was affected during the battle. According to ordinary citizens, the men in black robes destroyed the underground steam pipes and caused an explosion.
Earthquakes can also be attributed to this—a pipe explosion caused the ground to shake.
Although there is no evidence to prove that the black-robed man is related to the twin demons, there must always be someone responsible for this matter. In addition, the Orthodox Church still does not know what the priesthood of the new god is, so the reward for the man in black was increased, but the reward notice in the newspaper was moved to the crack.
Doing so can be regarded as a gesture of favor.
Beryl's demonized corpse was blown to pieces under Jenkins' kick, but the black stone-like heart remained.
According to the literature, it can be known that the door that passes the heart is the "gate of hell" in folklore. To the Givers, of course, its name is A-03-1-7705, Demon's Gate. This door is the same as the "A-12-1-0089, the door to death" mentioned by the professor. It will randomly replace a real door. If it is not opened, nothing will happen. And once it is accidentally opened, the things behind the door will come into this world.
Now no one knows why Beryl was able to summon this door. This should be related to the strange knowledge and power inherited from the Asyash family lurking in the darkness. On the day Jenkins was in a coma, the Orthodox Church had already arrested all those who were suspected of being in contact with Beryl. The ceremony that covered the entire city could not be done by him alone. Jenkins heard Hathaway talk about it at the ball, and those noble boys and girls who were familiar with Beryl were inseparable from this matter.
Currently, the black stone heart is temporarily preserved in the church of [Knowledge and Books]. It will soon be transported to the headquarters of the Holy See in Beldylan. It is too dangerous for this kind of thing to be left in the explosive barrel-like Nolan Diocese.
Although just an ordinary civilian, Jenkins seems to be fully involved in the whole thing. He was the first person to come into contact with the demon Little Wellington and the first to discover the Demon Summoner.
Judging from this incident, the people of the church recognized the fact that Jenkins was a scribe favored and trusted by sages.
Even more fortunately, such a serious incident happened that even a terrifying existence from an unknown space almost descended on this city. However, the number of deaths in this incident is not even as high as the number of innocent people who died in the octopus incident.
The Orthodox Church firmly believes that this is caused by the blessing of the great ones.
The rest probably has nothing to do with Jenkins. Further investigation of the Asyash family would take a considerable amount of time, and the interrogation did not require his participation.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, feeling like I got rid of another big/trouble. Jenkins thought for a while, and asked his father:
"Father, why did followers of [Eternal Blazing Sun] appear there last night? Shouldn't they have left the area immediately after they got the shield?"
"I seem to be looking for something? I don't know too well."
The old man looked out of the window and said: "They claim to have received an order from their superiors to search for an item that was lost fifty years ago in this city. Even they don't know what it is. All they know is that the item is a piece of metal. It has the holy emblem of [Eternal Blazing Sun]. Huh, what could be more important than this set of armor? They really lost their minds."
Jenkins' cold sweat slid down his forehead.
His gaze moved to the black metal block on the table beside it. Among the six sides, one of the sides was the holy emblem of [Inheritance Sage]. Except for this item that cannot be stored in the pocket, most of the items, including the crime coins, are in the pockets or cracks of the clothes.
Fortunately, in his capacity, no one will search his belongings. Moreover, he does not possess those dangerous monsters now.
"Praise the sage."
Subconsciously prayed, and then carefully looked at the ceiling. On it are colorful murals with strong religious colors, depicting fables handed down from the last century.
The gap between eras caused a lot of data to be lost, but at least most of the history of the 17th era can still be vaguely restored. The world is never peaceful, with gods high above and strange things lurking in the shadows.
Both righteous gods and false gods must have their own methods of condensing their divinity, which goes without saying. Jenkins is a false god... as a false god who is often offline, but has not found any means of cohesive divinity.
"Do you believe in it?"
This is the most instinctive guess, but the gods and churches of this world don't have the kind of crazy preaching behavior in order to convert believers. So this guess is pending.
"Is it a priesthood?"
Priesthood does not claim to exist, but it really exists. Believers of different gods have corresponding different magic arts, which is the embodiment of priesthood. And Jenkins obviously didn't have such a high-end thing. He thought of the rune that flew out after the demon's arm broke last night, but he didn't have any specific feeling at the time.
The divinity is at hand, and after absorbing it, you will definitely be able to obtain some knowledge related to gods. But this kind of thing can't be wasted just like that. Jenkins is still reluctant to absorb it just for the sake of knowledge.
His current state of God is not complete, and he has never heard of any great existence, because without divinity, he will fall into a mortal. Therefore, he is now an incomplete false god, which can be seen from the fact that he only has one more day in four years. This is the world, the response to the presence of the gods.
It was already evening, and Dad chatted with Jenkins for a while, and then went back. But Jenkins will not be alone. He will live in the church tonight, and if he remains healthy, he can leave the next day. And for the rest of the day, people kept coming to visit him, some of them were fellow gifters from the church, and some were gifters above the captain level from other Orthodox churches.
Because the biggest hero—the stranger code-named Twin Devils could not be found, Jenkins was the biggest hero in the report on this matter. People needed to hear the whole story from Jenkins, so the visit was really business.
But when it comes to the biggest hero, no matter what criteria you look for, you will definitely find Jenkins in the end.
PS: I don't want water, this is something that must be explained. I also want to continue the plot, but some things are unclear and the plot is not coherent.
