Although the sky was covered by dark clouds and the fog dispersed, the city was not completely blocked, but a curfew was imposed. The curfew time is from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 the next day, a total of 6 hours, which happens to be the end of the curfew.
Ordinary people don't know that the end is coming, and they are still running for their own livelihoods. Even if it is only after four o'clock, pedestrians can already be seen on the street. Because of the Flower Girls' Union, the flower girls don't have to get up early to buy goods, so they can't see the little girls.
Jenkins first came to the pier from St. George's Avenue near the pier. Standing by the sea in the strong wind, watching the roaring waves in the distance, he soon lost interest and turned to walk towards the city.
After a while, "snowflakes" floated in the sky. Jenkins thought it was really snow, but when it fell into his hand, he found that it was white ash, ash with temperature.
He stood on the street and looked up to the sky with the people. Plumes of ash fell from the black clouds, and it was impossible to see where they came from.
"this… "
To the eye of truth, these ashes, like the fog in the air and the black clouds in the sky, also have a black aura. While scanning the sky, Jenkins actually saw a huge monster with a black aura flashing past behind the black clouds.
Judging from the shape, it was actually a giant whale.
"The whale in the cloud? Isn't the cloud whale beast already sealed? Wait, I really want to see something similar in the difference engine's dream..."
People don't know that there is such a giant beast cruising above their heads, and Jenkins, who discovered this thing, will not ignore it.
But he didn't act immediately, but first went back to the church and found Princess Sophia.
It was still early, and Princess Sophia was fast asleep. Jenkins didn't want the church to know that he was related to "Miss Fabbri", so he secretly wanted to turn in through the window, so he almost got into a fight with Anastasia.
"Why did you come in through the window?"
The gas lamp in the room was turned on, and Anastasia asked as she stood barefoot on the soft wool carpet in her pajamas, her long hair hung behind her so that there was no trace of mess.
"There are important things, and I said last night that if there is an emergency, I will knock on the window and come in through the window. I just knocked and waited for five minutes before opening the window... How could you be here? Here? Isn't your room in another building?"
The church certainly wouldn't house Jenkins' friends with followers of lies.
"I...can't sleep at night and want Sophia to tell me stories."
Yinlong argued stubbornly, without giving Jenkins time to speak, and drove him to the bathroom attached to the room. It took a while before he was allowed to come, and Princess Sophia had already changed her clothes at this moment.
"Miss Fabbri will appear later, no, it's not you, it's me. So, I hope you won't be seen by anyone then."
"No problem, leave it to me, no one can see Sophia except me."
Yinlong said.
Let the silver dragon leave with Princess Sophia first, and then use Hathaway's spell to disguise himself as exactly the same face as "Miss Fabbri", and Jenkins also left the room to find the church:
"You guys saw the ashes outside too, I don't think we can just watch this happen."
"Do you know the origin of these ashes?"
"There is a big guy behind the black cloud. I plan to go up and take a look. As for you, whatever you want, just don't hinder me."
As we all know, among the top fighters of the Orthodox Church, only Jenkins, the son of the sage, can't fly. So when Jenkins rode a unicorn and flew high into the sky in the garden of the church, he was not at all worried that the church would find him, that is, Jenkins to participate in the action.
His eyes tracked the trajectory of the huge whale behind the black cloud, and found that the other party was just hovering over the Nolan area, following a fixed trajectory.
He tried to fly to a higher place, wanting to enter the black cloud to see what the other party was. But the unicorn was very resistant to entering the black cloud, and when it could smell a stronger smell of fireworks at high altitude, it stopped taking off.
It wasn't until Jenkins inspired the power of the [Seedlings of the World Tree] to protect them with abundant vitality that the little beast was willing to enter the high black cloud.
After touching the black cloud, because of the passive effect of [Hero], Jenkins' whole body began to emit smoke. Vision was gradually lost, and everything around him became indistinguishable, as if there were only these black clouds left in the world. Even after a few seconds, Jenkins could not distinguish the direction of up and down by gravity.
He understood that this was the characteristic of these clouds, so he took out his monocle, hugged the unicorn's neck and held it up to its eyes. Relying on the glasses, the unicorn regained its direction, but instead of leading Jenkins through the fog, it led it out of the fog area from below.
Just as they regained their vision, Jenkins saw the aura of the gigantic whale passing just above them.
Because when he entered the cloud and fog just now, [Hero] made part of the black cloud at the bottom disappear, and more fog hadn't had time to make up, so Jenkins could clearly see the lower abdomen of the whale.
It was the color of brass metal, and all kinds of delicate parts came together to form the huge whale belly above Jenkins' head. Although only a small part was exposed outside the clouds, Jenkins could clearly see the more complicated mechanical structure inside the whale because of the hollowing out of the metal parts themselves and the gaps between other parts.
There are patterns of different shades on the surface of the brass-colored parts, and the combination of these patterns makes the whale's belly look like it has a layer of spell graffiti.
The huge belly flashed past, and soon disappeared into the higher clouds, continuing to patrol according to the established route.
"It's actually a mechanical creation? Could it be that the difference machine can imitate its biological structure and make a mechanical replica just by relying on the battle with [Cloud Whale Beast]? This is really..."
He didn't know whether he should admire the opponent's ability, or worry about the fear of his enemy. But the ash was clearly sprayed by the whale, and Jenkins had to stop it.
It doesn't matter if you can't enter the clouds, after all, most of Jenkins' abilities are not triggered by melee.
He pulled out his sword from the air, and with the accumulation of spirit, the light of the sword shone in the sky, and cut straight to the clouds above.
The sword light that penetrated into the black cloud even broke a gap in the cloud for a short time, allowing the demigods of the church who came after to see the tip of the iceberg of the mechanical giant whale.
Jian Guang didn't hit the target successfully. Around the whale, a barrier that didn't exist originally appeared at the moment Jian Guang reached his body, blocking Jian Guang.
The bubble-like barrier itself only had ripples and a few cracks, which disappeared immediately after the sword light disappeared. It reminded Jenkins of the defenses surrounding that large metal head yesterday afternoon.
At that time, he split the layer of "bubble" by directly using the sword itself instead of the sword light, but this time he couldn't fly up at all.
The disappearance of the attack allowed the broken clouds to close again. Jenkins did not continue to catch up, but waited for the church's support to fly in.
Because the Evergreen Forest cannot be empty, manpower can only be sent to Nolan after the basic combat effectiveness is preserved. The local order still needs to be maintained, and the Church of the Sage, which is currently in session, needs someone to guard it to prevent this from being a plot to turn the tiger away from the mountain.
Therefore, there are only more than twenty demigods facing the whale with Jenkins, including three holy sons and two demigods from the false god order.
"Similar to yesterday's situation, there is a transparent barrier around that thing. Ordinary means can't break through it, my sword can, but unicorns can't break through this layer of fog."
He briefly explained the situation, and sure enough, someone came up with an idea:
"The church also has some very... dangerous weapons that can break through that barrier 100%, but they also require close use. Therefore, our focus now is to enter the black mist in the sky, Miss Fabbri, I see You just split the fog with your sword, so can you continue to do so?"
"It is possible, but are you sure, does anyone dare to act around my sword light?"
Jenkins asked Nolan's old gravekeeper.
"But it's also a way of thinking that if the whale doesn't come down, we have to go up ... Now get the message to the church first, and I think there's always going to be a way to get us into the clouds."
The clouds in the sky that cover the sun are not ordinary clouds, at least they cannot be blown away by the wind. Jenkins thought that maybe his [Wind and Rain] would be useful, so he used [Real Illusion] to pull his real body onto the back of the unicorn, and then projected it back to the church, letting the unicorn fly around with its unconscious body .
Sure enough, the Church had the same idea as Jenkins. Almost when Jenkins was about to open the door, someone knocked on his door.
He followed a group of people to the highest point of the tower on the east side of the church. Because the sun was covered by black clouds, the sky outside was as dark as night, but it was already approaching dawn at this moment.
Pointing to the sky:
"Call the wind and call the rain!"
This time, the use of abilities consumed more spirits than ever before. Obviously, it was not easy to summon wind and rain under the current catastrophic weather, but Jenkins still did it.
A gust of wind suddenly appeared above Nolan, driving the higher clouds to flow. But it is a pity that the flow of air drives the changes in the clouds on a large scale, and at this moment the sky is completely covered by black clouds. So it doesn't matter whether it's a large-scale cloud change or a small-scale one.
Jenkins' failed attempt also gave the church more ideas. But Jenkins did not continue to participate in the operation, but used an excuse to talk to Alexia, and flew back to the back of the unicorn again.
