Although the old man in the wheelchair is also in the form of a human, the shape of his ears is sharp and angular. That is not the shape of an elf or a human ear, but a kind of alien species called [Vangers Goblin]. The ethnic group has a hatred for generations with the Frost Giants.
The Vangers fairies are a true peaceful race. They all believe in the righteous god [Sage of Inheritance], and spend their entire lives sitting at home reading books, which is their life goal.
Jenkins could tell the race of the old man in front of him, and Miss Silver Flute and Miss Magic could also tell. The three of them hesitated and didn't speak, not knowing what the old man in front of him who seemed to be at the gate of the city hall, smiling and receiving relief food, wanted to do.
"Welcome... Oh, the three of you are all peace-loving races, I welcome you very much. But the little puppet over there, please watch your cat."
"Meow~"
Chocolate growled not to be outdone, and to others it sounded like a kitten acting like a spoiled child.
"Although I really want to let you go, but this place is a strange place after all..."
The old man, with his hands clasped together in his lap, would have been a kindly librarian if it hadn't been for the horrible forbidden books on the shelves and the eyes that hung from the ceiling.
"Young people, the drink is on the shelf behind you, but it's not that easy to get me to drink it."
His eyes swept over the three standing people, the faces with amiable smiles, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, almost behind the ears.
"Let's exchange knowledge, as long as I am satisfied, you can leave... if you really want to leave."
These threatening words had two meanings. First, the three of them had to provide satisfactory knowledge, and then they had to be able to bear the knowledge exchanged.
Jenkins felt that he had seen this scene before, and after a while, he finally remembered the golden man who shouted "Knowledge is power".
He tried to say something, but his arm was pulled by an energetic arm. Miss Magic behind her shook her head at Jenkins, and then let all the runes swimming in her body fly out, forming a strange and grand ritual formation in the air. The sensation of the three hands whirling in that ritual reminded Jenkins of the destroyed clock.
"Turning back time...interesting lore."
The old man nodded, his tongue seemed to stick out, and he licked his entire face. This is not the appearance of the Vangers goblins. Although the Vangers goblins are also different species, as far as Jenkins knows, their tongues are the same as humans, and they cannot make such disgusting movements.
"So, what kind of strange race is this?"
Although the current progress is fairly smooth, but the vague haze still weighs on Jenkins' heart.
"I accept your knowledge, very interesting."
As he said that, a stack of blank paper appeared in the air, and the rune array that was revealed just now was printed on it. The old man coughed violently, and then suddenly said loudly:
"@￥#￥%%…%￥#"
It was a meaningless language interpreted in Common Speech. But if the concept of language itself is discarded, this passage can be interpreted as:
[Here is the fragment of the "bath of human nature"!]
The momentary mental shock even made Jenkins a little dazed. Behind him, he heard the sound of the rune chain breaking on Miss Silver Flute's arm, and the sound of blood spurting. As for Miss Magic standing in front of Jenkins, her energized body showed signs of collapsing.
For a few seconds, the woman's body completely disappeared in this space, but finally stabilized. The color of the energy body has almost become transparent, and less than one-tenth of the runes covered in the body are left.
Luckily for Miss Magic, Miss Yindi fainted again under the impact of this illegal knowledge. This reminded Jenkins of the situation when Miss Audrey uttered [Master of the Paradox] in Quiro language. The words just now are definitely not inferior to Quiro language.
"are you OK?"
He asked, first pulled Miss Silver Flute to the wall to lie down and used [Essence of Life] to heal her, and then stretched out his hand to help Miss Magic. But his wooden hand passed through the body directly, and his eyes saw a crack on the rune necklace on his chest.
"Damn it!"
Miss Magic scolded very inelegantly, and then stood up while supporting the ground. She shook her head, as if she had lost her sense of balance, and her whole body was staggering. The woman's body is now out of physical form, and the healing ability of [Essence of Life] is probably useless to her, so Jenkins used the precious healing opportunity on Miss Yindi.
She doesn't seem to be able to form a fighting force anymore, but she is lucky to be alive.
"Go and take care of Miss Yindi."
Jenkins said softly, then took his cat to the bookshelf and looked at the old man in the wheelchair.
"[Humanity Bath]? I don't know who dominates this world?"
He suppressed the nausea and discomfort, and asked calmly.
"Now you give me knowledge, not me."
He replied with a malicious voice.
Jenkins was taken aback. Although he had guessed that the strange world was a fragment of another world in the past, this was the first time he had received positive recognition. Since the old man didn't object to his statement, it meant that at least the place he was at now had indeed been peeled off from a certain master's world.
"Sure enough, these questions that can't be answered in the material world can only be found out in the strange world... I wasted a lot of opportunities before..."
While thinking about it, I already knew what I should do now. He took a deep breath, first activated the [Wooden Body], and then hummed the tune gently according to the "Song of Nature" that he had whispered in his memory at the end of the month.
Jenkins himself has no musical talent, and his humming recovery rate is less than 60%. But that's enough, and as the tune emerges, the wooden structure of the body begins to change.
He did not become taller or fatter because of this, but the wood grain on his body was gradually deepening, and the color of the wood was also beginning to become old, and even patina appeared. When the whole song was over, Jenkins felt that his body was as hard as steel.
"The complete "Song of Nature"? Interesting, the material world is full of capable people... Let me think about it, what kind of knowledge should I use to repay you..."
