This heart is not a mysterious thing [Mechanical Heart], the imitation is a creation created by the difference engine, just like the [Human Puzzle] not long ago. But they all have some of the abilities of creeps, so the passive effect of [Hero] is still useful.
Wisps of black smoke drifted upward from the contact between the monster and the palm, and the strong smell of engine oil in the black smoke could not be suppressed even by the aroma of burning candles.
Because of the appearance of Jenkins, the meeting room was quiet for a short moment, but soon the discussion just now reappeared, as if Jenkins' arrival was just a trivial matter.
But most people are still watching him carefully. This is the first time Jenkins has shown himself in public as a benefactor so far. Moreover, the power of the potion was still left at this moment, and the power of the Holy Son had not completely disappeared. Even if the power was controlled to not leak out, he still had an extraordinary sense of oppression and oppression to most of the people present.
Miss Streiss led someone to greet her, and brought a container to store the imitation [Mechanical Heart]. The members of the Church of Mechanics probably thought it was a gift that had been stolen for a long time, so some people surrounded it.
As for the body of the robot created by the difference engine, it was cut up immediately regardless of the consequences, and then sent to Nolan for research. This is a very valuable material, but no one is sure whether the internal structure is still functioning, so under the principle of safety first, this cannot be left.
"I knew you would be able to do it. Dad has been worrying about it for a long time."
Miss Bevanna said to Jenkins with a smile, watching the golden and silver light around Jenkins gradually subside, but unexpectedly saw that some of the purple brilliance in his eyes still remained.
Jenkins looked around and patted the cat on the shoulder not to move:
"Why didn't you see Dad?"
"Father said he wasn't going."
"Huh? Why?"
"He said he was just the owner of an antique shop, and he had no responsibility or right to attend this negotiation."
"Is dad joking?"
"I also persuaded him, but he insisted not to come. He is reading in the church library now."
Miss Bevanna said helplessly, and then said:
"There is another very important thing. None of the followers of Lie came. Mr. Candle said at noon that he could be found through the Music Church, but Miss Bailing from the Music Church said that she and Mr. Candle were just ordinary friends. How could he find him? Get the other side. You gotta be ready, if the believers of lies don't come, then..."
"They will definitely come. In fact, when I flew back just now, I met Miss Fabri who was riding a unicorn. Although the believers of lies were severely traumatized in the dream, she promised everyone will be there.
It doesn't matter, what matters is the Difference Engine. "
"What's the matter, isn't it defeated by you?"
"That robot? No, it's just a puppet remotely controlled by the difference engine."
He frowned. When he was chasing the mechanical gear man in the air just now, he had a brief conversation with the difference engine. The content of the conversation was very short, and Jenkins laughed at the other party for giving up the sublimation with the "Rebel Ritual" and wanting to obtain the soul instead, which is insatiable. Of course, the omnic difference machine wouldn't react like getting angry, after all, it didn't have a complete soul.
But the other party still revealed his plan. This is probably a stupid move because of his extreme confidence and his extreme belief that his calculation power is infallible:
"It told me that the way to sublimate to a beast of disaster is not only to obtain souls and rituals of rebels."
"It has other plans?"
"Yes, and the other party seems to want to implement it immediately... I don't know what the difference engine wants to do, but today's battle is definitely not over. Miss Bevanna, please tell other churches to prepare for the battle. Churches also want to Strengthen the defense capabilities as much as possible, the next battle may affect here."
"Don't worry, we have already guessed how much trouble we will encounter today."
(Chocolate is running... )
While, like last weekend's speech, this negotiation required both Jenkins and the Believers of Lies to appear at the same time, this time, it didn't require Jenkins to actually appear in both capacities.
So it was planned long ago that he himself would appear as Jenkins Williams, of course, and the believers in lies would find someone to pretend to save him the trouble of playing two roles.
Although believers in lies do not have many roles in this negotiation, the person who will play this role must also be very strong, have a good psychological quality, and be willing to participate in this troublesome matter, and even if they know the whole truth, they must be very strong. Absolutely no nonsense.
Originally the best candidate was Alexia, but the church is very familiar with Alexia, which is a hidden danger after all. A few days ago, Yinlong and the princess returned to Nolan, and Jenkins had the idea of Yinlong again.
But Princess Sophia didn't approve of Jenkins' proposal, in her words:
"If you entrust important matters to Anastasia, it is equivalent to letting a child wield a powerful magic sword. Although it can kill the enemy, it is hard to say whether it will cause other consequences."
So Princess Sophia decided to help Jenkins herself. When she first met Jenkins in the ancient age, in that wedding, the princess was just a normal person, but even if she did nothing in the long ages, time is enough to give power to mortal things.
Princess Sophia is certainly not as powerful as the silver dragon girl, but at least she is much stronger than a human demigod. Moreover, Jenkins agrees with the most important reason why Princess Sophia helped him. He also thinks that compared to the princess, although the cheerful silver dragon is powerful all day long, it is really a bit uneasy.
Before returning to the church just now, Princess Sophia, who was drinking tea with Silver Dragon in the nearby club, had been notified in advance to let her come to the church around two o'clock. Calculating that the time is almost up, Jenkins is very curious about how she will appear on the stage, maybe riding a silver dragon, maybe just appearing from the carriage with an umbrella and dressed up.
But no matter what, the role of the princess is actually very small. He has already written the script, and there will be no accidents today.
"What's wrong?"
Just as Jenkins was thinking, the priest who rushed over handed a note to Miss Bevanna who was about to leave the sky building and return to the church. Jenkins walked over immediately, and Miss Bevanna explained:
"Something strange has appeared around the church..."
"Mechanical creation?"
"Yes."
Jenkins glanced at Miss Bevanna, who nodded knowingly:
"I'm afraid that's what you said. I understand, and you can rest assured. You don't need to intervene in this matter. No matter what happens, your most important job today is to negotiate. If you are really needed, the church will notify you to join The battlefield, so don’t leave here rashly.”
"Now that everyone is watching, I can't sneak out. Please don't treat me as someone who doesn't know the rules."
He said that afterward, Miss Bevanna left the negotiating meeting in the sky with some scribes from the Church of the Sages. Jenkins glanced at the outside of the church below with his eyes of truth, and he saw something with a black aura.
The aura intensity of these things is very weak, but the number is huge.
"I can't beat me head-on, and the core of the body doesn't dare to appear, so you want to use numbers to suppress it? But what does this have to do with his sublimation into a beast of disaster? Could it be that he took advantage of the accidents around the church to hold back the Orthodox Church? and me, and then play tricks elsewhere... ”
Although this level of attack is troublesome, the Church of the Sages is not an empty shell, so Jenkins doesn't think he needs to help now. Since Miss Bevanna left for the time being, he went to the Pope, intending to talk about the negotiating charter drafted by the church.
He thought that there might not be a few words to talk about, and Princess Sophia should be arriving soon.
Roar~
The soul-stirring roar seemed to come from under his feet. Jenkins's forward steps suddenly stopped, and the people around him suddenly stopped talking and looked towards the east together.
It was probably on the street where the church was located, even depending on the location, it was probably right at the door of the Sage Church, and a bright silver beam of light rose into the sky. The beam of light is not completely straight, but like a water column rushing out of a water pipe, it draws a curved light trace under the dark rainy sky.
The color is very beautiful, with a little bit of other colors in the silver. If inks of this color could be formulated, any oil painting would be more valuable for it.
Others may be intoxicated by the shocking scene in this rainy day, but Jenkins is very familiar with this color. The last time I saw it was in the very distant past, it was the breath of the silver dragon.
"Damn, what happened? Are they in danger?"
Princess Sophia was invited by Jenkins to help, and no matter what happened to her, Jenkins would feel guilty. Seeing the dragon's breath appearing at this moment, the first reaction was to go over there to see the situation.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the shining golden magic runes on the wall of the floating building where everyone was sitting, being lit up one by one, and connected together to form part of a large ceremony.
The voice of Mr. Smith, the church keeper, came from nearby. He coughed, and the voice sounded like an expansion through a loudspeaker in the entire building:
"Don't worry everyone, the defense measures have been activated. Unless the church takes the initiative to cancel the ceremony, otherwise it will be completely inaccessible. Please rest assured that there will be no security issues."
The church below seems to be covered with a layer of golden light. Those translucent steps connecting the courtyard on the ground and the buildings in the sky transmit the power gathered in the church to the air, making the temple in the air and the church on the ground form a harmonious whole. A perfect whole.
Even, in the field of vision that only Jenkins could see, above the negotiating field, the phantom of the huge Vientiane Gate appeared, and then closed with a creaking sound, turning the air in the eyes of ordinary people into a real solid barrier.
The powerful defense of the Church of the Sage itself, plus more defensive rituals added by the Twelve Churches for this negotiation, plus the defensive effect of the extraordinary [Gate of Vientiane] of unknown origin, these are enough to make the church at this time a The safest area in the material world in a short period of time.
