After receiving the information from Jenkins, the church team quickly set out to find the dry forest where the battle took place according to the description, and retrieved the remaining bones in the snow and all the remains of the high-level undead. These things will be more closely examined and divined to determine exactly why this happened.
Although it looks miserable, Jenkins actually not only has no loss, but also gained a new ability-[Contact Death (Red Fighting)]. When Miss Bevanna and Miss Audrey heard about this, their expressions of surprise were exactly the same, as if they heard that the gods would visit the church for dinner tomorrow.
Although this ability is rare, almost all the bestowers have heard of it. There is only one way to obtain it, that is, only those who have really come into contact with death can obtain such a reward in the gap between life and death.
This is the greatest reward from death that the living can obtain. It is the scenery seen on the edge of the cliff by those who have truly faced their greatest fears.
Speaking of specific functions, [Contact Death] can prevent the owner from being hostile by undead creatures, and will not be harmed by the spirit of death. At the same time, when using undead items, rituals or abilities, it can obtain greater bonuses . Even as long as you are hostile to a creature and attack, even if it is just boxing, you will have the power of a weak undead.
According to Jenkins, in fact, all attacks in the future will be accompanied by undead elemental damage, which is how he understands it.
And more importantly, after mastering this ability, doing anything related to death can produce the effect of accumulating spirits—such as guarding the tomb, burying, restraining the body, and killing.
Just like the current Jenkins, if he touches the soul fragment of the higher undead with his palm again, nothing will happen.
This is the ability that all the gravekeepers in [Death and the Church of the End] dream of. There are even rumors that [contact with death] is the key to the further journey of the gravekeeper.
"I think, my soul's original ability [Breath of Life] saved my life and pulled me back from the brink of death, so this ability appears."
He explained it this way, and he really thought so, but Miss Bevanna and Miss Audrey held different views.
Let the nun help Jenkins, who claimed to have fully recovered, to rest, and soon there were only two women of different beliefs left in the office. Miss Bevanna just wanted to ask the other party's purpose of coming here, but was startled by Miss Audrey's next sentence:
"He is probably the first elf bloodline heir with undead abilities."
"What do you know?"
The door closed with a bang, the curtains were lowered automatically, and golden magic runes instantly covered the walls. Miss Audrey was firmly grasped by Miss Bevanna's wrist, and the latter's eyes were no longer the gentleness when facing Jenkins, but almost stern.
"I know that Jenkins is the heir of the elven bloodline. Moreover, he is also the oldest and sacred bloodline of the Middleton family. Sorry, can you not use such force? I feel as if I heard that my wrist bone is broken."
Even after she said that, Miss Bevanna still didn't let go. Now it is inside the Church of the Sages, even if she violently kills people, no one will know about it.
"You don't need to panic, Bevanna. If you think about it carefully, anyone who is familiar with Jenkins and Elf can think of this. Although he himself didn't show much abnormality, you and Dad still follow his original You see it in your abilities and in the details of your day-to-day, don’t you? If you can do it, I can do it too.”
"What else do you know?"
The matter of World Tree sacrifice is actually irrelevant, what is really important is the unformed sapling that has no causal relationship with it.
You must know that the sacrificial blood owned by the Middleton family is so thin that there is almost no one. Especially in this era, the descendants of the family have not shown any abnormalities except for their youth and longevity. However, the relationship between Jenkins' unusual blood atavism and the strange origin of the soul is difficult to determine. Maybe the power of the blood has affected the soul, thus producing such an ability; maybe the power of the soul has reactivated the blood, so that secret Delton's secret comes to light.
But in any case, this secret must not be known to the hateful heretics. No matter how sensitive the identity of the woman in front of her was, she couldn't let her leave the church with this secret.
"It's not what I know, it's what I want to do."
Miss Audrey said softly.
Not caring about the broken wrist, he leaned forward and whispered a word in Miss Bevanna's ear. The latter's green pupils constricted, as if hearing something unbelievable.
"Are you sure you want to go this way? If you fail, you should know what will happen. Even the church didn't plan for Jenkins to get..."
She let go of Miss Audrey's wrist, and retreated to her desk. The fortune teller smiled tactfully, took some powder from his pocket and rubbed it on his wrist.
Although it is not as effective as Jenkins' treatment, at least it will not be affected by broken bones for a short time.
"Of course I know, but I'm not the first person to try this way, and the successful people in the past have indeed proved that this is real and feasible."
"madman."
Miss Bevanna commented, "Only a lunatic would make such a gamble. With your aptitude, there are actually many paths you can choose."
"But that's the only way that goes the furthest. Bevanna, you're already a demigod, and you should know how important the choice is when you take this step. I'm not like ya... not like my friend, who can Open up a new path with great perseverance and wisdom, and I don’t want to be trapped in a seemingly powerful realm forever like you and most people. Now that the opportunity has appeared, why can’t I seize it?”
She inadvertently revealed a very horrifying news, but unfortunately only the chocolate left on the sofa could hear it. It was waiting for Jenkins to come back to pick it up, otherwise the cat swears it would be very angry.
"My choice is not wrong."
Miss Audrey repeated, "Especially after I really got to know Jenkins, he was not born extraordinary, he was destined to be extraordinary. I can dedicate everything I have to him, just in exchange for that chance."
"Huh~"
Miss Bevanna made a very unladylike voice and sat on the chair behind the desk with her shoulders folded. The golden magic runes on the wall dissipated, and the curtains were drawn again.
The smell of gunpowder in the room dissipated in the blink of an eye, and everything just seemed to have never happened at all.
It was already dark outside, but the room was filled with warm light.
PS: Record: There are only two abilities left.
