"This is the antidote, how long will it take you to gather people?"
Seeing the middle-aged man raised his head, Jenkins put the tin can-like container on the table.
"Oh~"
The middle-aged man has just woken up and has not yet figured out the current situation. But he knew the ring and what it meant.
"Now the people outside are also in a coma, right?"
He immediately realized the crux of the problem.
"Only ordinary people are in a coma. I think you know what I mean."
"That's good. Honorable sir, please wait for five minutes. Since there is no one in the way, it will be faster to call people."
The middle-aged man saluted Jenkins before setting off to gather his men. His speed is faster than expected. Although there are not many people who can be deployed, the weapons are exceptionally sophisticated.
In the alley near the clock tower, Jenkins briefly introduced the situation, and then emphasized again:
"It's good for you to attract attention on the periphery, and you don't need to take too much risk. Remember, once you notice changes in the nearby weather, or abnormal explosions and flashes, stay away immediately and don't leave any evidence."
"Yes sir, I remember."
Ten minutes later, war-like scenes took place in the alleys and streets near the Civic Square.
The gunman came out of nowhere, and suddenly he got into a fight with the gangster who also came out of nowhere. After the first gunshot, there were sounds like fireworks one after another. Steam bombs were thrown everywhere, and screams and shouts resounded everywhere.
In the scene of bullets flying everywhere, the city of Nolan, which is known for its peace and harmony, rarely appeared. But it is a pity that no one can witness the scene of such a low-intensity battlefield.
Jenkins had already taken advantage of the vacancy of the guards to climb up the bell tower. Although it was difficult to deal with ten guns at the same time, it was still barely possible to deal with two guns at the same time.
The ordinary people in the bell tower couldn't stop him at all, and the benefactors around the Duke of Antak seemed to have died in the accident last night.
In short, the Eye of Reality did not see anyone in the way, and when they reached the top of the clock tower, there was only the Duke there.
He looked horrific now, his whole body was soaked in a transparent coffin. The coffin was hung in the center of the platform at the top of the clock tower by eight iron cables on the wall. Inside the coffin was a translucent gray unidentified body. Countless tiny bugs were swimming in those bodies and had intimate/intimate/intimacy with the Duke’s body. touch.
With this coffin as the center, a large-scale ceremony is going on. The mummified corpses were placed at the nodes of the ritual array. From Jenkins' eyes, the function of this ritual was to gather the spirits in the air and provide energy for the Duke to use the mythical lock.
Such a simple and crude method will of course cause permanent damage to the body and soul. Jenkins didn't know if it was forced or the duke asked for it, but he didn't need to know either.
He stood on the spot with a cold face, and a black figure emerged behind him and let out a grinning laugh.
"Twin Devils?"
The Duke of Antak in the middle of the night suddenly opened his eyes, and a dull voice came from the transparent coffin. Jenkins was very curious about how he avoided being choked to death.
"you know me?"
It is now in the state of black robe camouflage.
"No, I've heard of you... Followers of the God of Lies, you really are everywhere."
Jenkins didn't want to talk to him. Now that he blows up the man in front of him, everything will be over. There is no need for him to waste time. This is extremely stupid.
"It's really because of the emblem of the savior that you have come to trouble me again and again..."
"Um?"
Jenkins was a little dazed. It was the first time he had heard about the emblem of the Savior since the end of the [True Phantom] incident.
"No, it's not the first time. I remember the puppet that blew itself up and said something about it. It said that one of the emblems of the saviors of this era is... [Stage of Destiny]?"
In modern human lingua franca, [Stage of Destiny] is not a combination of "fate" and "stage", but a proper noun.
This term originated from the description of the stage and stories by playwrights, and later gradually evolved into a common word commonly used by citizens, specifically referring to those events and stories full of drama.
From the understanding of the word itself, there is no problem with it, but if it is related to the origin of the word, then it is inextricably linked with [Stage].
"[Stage] Fansuo... [Stage of Destiny]..."
Jenkins seemed to understand something, and at the same time remembered Alexia's somewhat vague words:
"The emblem of the savior is not necessarily formed after acquiring a single ability."
"The Emblem of the Savior [Stage of Destiny] corresponds to the chain ability!"
He suddenly realized that all the accidents that he had experienced in February became clearer as if he had seen the sun through the clouds. Mr. Writer seemed to realize something, but he didn't understand anything.
The perception of these many things, as well as talking about "stage view" with friends, are not enough to support Jenkins to acquire that complicated chain now. Moreover, there is still a big gap between [Stage] and [Stage of Destiny]. Hathaway mentioned that fate can really make this ability appear.
"The Duke of Antak cannot be a candidate for the savior now, he has not yet touched fate! What he has is [Stage] not [Stage of Destiny]. This is another person who is looking for the emblem!"
There's no proof, but Jenkins is absolutely sure of it. In just a few seconds, his thoughts went back and forth, but the Duke's reminder had indeed awakened him.
"Very good, the matter of the skeleton sword is resolved, [Stage of Destiny] is also on the agenda. Eh? Am I actively pursuing it?"
Regardless of whether Jenkins' behavior counts or not, at least the Duke of Antak is indeed actively collecting the ability to compose mythos. While Jenkins was thinking, he talked loudly about how difficult it was for him to obtain the [Stage] Mystery Lock. This was of course delaying time, but Jenkins wanted to hear the process.
"This incident was recorded in the family's ancient books, and my friends reminded me that this is a good opportunity. The savior! This is a once-in-a-thousand-thousand-year opportunity, and one of the qualifications is lying quietly in the family library. In the slate!"
Jenkins believes that this "my friend" is the person in the tree house, but he doesn't understand why this person has never appeared. Now the Duke is trying to delay the time, perhaps just waiting for this person to arrive, but Jenkins immediately wonders whether Pompey is the person in the tree house.
