Chapter 527

"No, actually I just want her to answer my questions. The power she uses is quite familiar to me. How about I let you go and let her answer my questions?"

Overlapping sounds echoed in the snowfield, and occasionally there was the soft sound of the metal chains shaking. Jenkins felt that he was looked down upon by others.

"Actually, I am very good at answering other people's questions. Not long ago, I answered a question about the temperature of the human heart for an old man who is several thousand years old. Let her leave, and I will give you the answer."

As he spoke, he brought up the miner's lamp that symbolized [Mechanical Light]. The lamp shone with a pleasant silver-blue light.

"I can probably guess that you are confused by your own limitations, so you want to know how to break through the limits. You see, although my female companion is proficient in mathematics, if she wants to solve structural problems, she should still find someone who is proficient in gears. Mechanical me, yes, I’m good at mechanics.”

This sentence took advantage of the [Lie] priesthood, and the effect was immediate. Blue runes flashed on the surface of the silver cube, and even runes appeared on the faces.

"I have calculated it and your words are very credible. Okay, the woman can leave and you can answer my questions."

Of course Alexia didn't want to leave, but Jenkin insisted on his idea again and again. He personally walked the short lady to the entrance of the passage and asked her to leave with her cat. But Chocolat didn't want to leave, or even touch Alexia.

After a long quarrel, the cat and the woman reluctantly left, leaving Jenkins to turn around and face the snowy field.

"go ahead."

Both of his hands were in his pockets, holding the harvest from the altar.

"My computing power is limited by the structure, which is why there was such a big mistake thousands of years ago. But I have found a suitable way to solve this. I just want to ask for your opinion."

The spin of the metal cube suddenly stopped, and then the metal like liquid mercury actually deformed. The six faces quickly merged together, and the edges of the metal shrank inward. What finally emerged in the sky was a giant human face made of flowing liquid metal.

The image of the human face keeps changing with the flow of metal, and six images appear irregularly.

"After such a long time, I have calculated my own structural defects countless times. In the end, I understood that machinery has limits, and the power of machinery has limits, so... I want to become a human."

It fell from the sky, crashing towards Jenkins like a liquid meteor. But the white light flashed, and the dazzling sword light struck the face of the person in the air.

After sheathing its sword, it jumped into the air. The unicorn immediately caught its master and carried him flying into the sky. The metal droplets followed closely, but they were unable to catch up with Jenkins who was flying rapidly.

"It's really fun."

The human-faced subject in the sky had just hurriedly dodged the sword light, and now stabilized himself again, looking at Jenkins from the other side of the snowfield.

"That sword is a bit strange. I seem to feel the power characteristics of the 'old friend'. This is really strange. The pure undead attribute can be so balanced with the power of life. This is almost zero probability..."

"I also understand why you agreed to let Alexia leave so easily. You have no confidence to deal with both of us at the same time. When I saw the illusion just now, I thought that your strength had not declined at all after being sealed for so many years. Now It seems quite the opposite.”

He said, taking out the metal rod from his pocket, "I think you should recognize this."

"If this thing is really useful, why would the people who sealed me leave it to you?"

The circulating human faces asked, and it took three voices to finish the short sentence.

"is that so?"

He poured his spirit into the metal rod, and the dense runes immediately lit up. As more and more spirits are instilled, the metal rod gradually disintegrates. It was not a metal rod at all, but an aggregate of runes drawn from metal wires.

When the spiritual infusion entered, the aggregate decomposed, and the runes that made it separated from each other, fluttering from Jenkins' hand. Surrounding Jenkins, the strings of runes emitted a golden luster. They wrapped Jenkins in a ball shape, and seemed to imprison him in a prison.

"I have understood that you are not as strong as I thought. Maybe your story is partially true. The one who destroyed the city was not you at all. After the Zhengshen Church evacuated, the remaining citizens were able to seal you. This in itself is There's something strange. I think you don't have any powerful abilities at all, right? You're just a simple computing machine..."

The loss of the spirit was not great, and the golden rune prison fully unfolded, wrapping Jenkins inside.

"So you understand what you're getting?"

the mixed voice asked, looking confident.

"Of course, my female companion has already understood that she is also good at the things you are good at. This is a barrier, a barrier that blocks your computing power. The ancestors of the past relied on this to prevent you from calculating what they wanted to do. What."

A series of sparks flashed from the surface of the spherical rune prison, and invisible forces attacked it, but it was completely useless.

"So everything is revealed. The ancestors did not expect the latecomers to defeat you at all, so they left behind props to allow the latecomers to leave smoothly. They were just worried about being counted by you, so they left some parts on the alloy plate. Real words. Is that so?"

On the face of the person that was flowing like mercury, small bumps quickly rose and disappeared. Jenkins guessed that this should represent the other person's mood. Then, on the back of the face that he could not see, slender tentacles like ropes stretched out, and after flexibly untied the thirteen metal chains surrounding the face, the face finally gained freedom.

The snow reflected the sunlight in the sky, but the pure white light was still not as dazzling as the flowing mercury-like substance.

Silver tentacles covered with black bumps (actually half-exposed gears) stretched out from behind the human face to the sky. Six different faces flashed on the human face in turn. The overlapping deafening laughter made Jenkins' scalp numb:

"Do you think you can get away? This body belongs to me! Do you know why the woman who is proficient in calculations was allowed to leave, but the weak you were left behind? The body of a half-elf is much better than that of an ordinary human!"

Chapter 1283 Chapter 1262 Mad Poet and Disaster (I)

Dense tentacles spewed out from behind the human face like spider silk, and what greeted them was the flames falling from the sky.

Jenkins didn't know what alloy this machine was made of, but it seemed to be very afraid of fire. He didn't even need to pay attention to the power. Once those metal tentacles came into contact with the gift of fire, they melted as quickly as ice came into contact with high temperature.

"We still have to fight in the end."

Jenkins in the air soothed the unicorn that was restless because of those disgusting tentacles. It was obviously made of metal, but it could wriggle like a living creature and make sticky sounds. Not only the unicorn, but even Jenkins felt some physical discomfort.

He summoned the Holy Sword of Bones again, then took a breath and jumped off the back of the unicorn.

The golden spherical rune prison protected him, so Alexia and Chocolate, who were hiding in the distance, could only see a golden sphere falling from the sky, and a huge white sword light radiated from the golden sphere.

In contrast, the silver-white tentacles covered with black bumps twisted into a strand in an instant, like a shield, colliding head-on with the sword light in the air.

At this moment, the white light filled the sky above this small snowfield, and the six screams that came one after another were the only sounds between heaven and earth.

When the light disappeared, the unicorn carried the exhausted Jenkins to the sky. At the place where the mercury face was originally, metal droplets dripped onto the snowfield like suspicious viscous liquid from a stinking ditch, leaving only a machine made of brass gears, levers, pistons and springs in the air.

That thing was about the size of an adult's head, and it looked inexplicably like the power core of a steam boiler. Its surface was not encapsulated, so Jenkins could see the internal gears rotating and the pistons pushing and pulling at a glance.

But he started bleeding from his nose after taking a look. He couldn't understand what he saw. The pile of broken parts forcibly pieced together, the human order of thinking could not understand the principle of operation at all.

It obviously had no energy, but it still sprayed steam outward. The sound of the small cylinder inside the machine was very clear to Jenkins, but the more so, the less he understood how this thing worked.

The less he understood, the more his brain simulated the consequences of each work, and the consequence of the brain following the operation of the weird machine was that Jenkins felt a pain like a mental tear.

"Don't think, close your eyes, and empty your mind."

A small hand supported the back of Jenkins' head, and Jenkins endured the nausea and followed Alexia's voice. This really made it much better. After instantly ignoring the operation of the mechanical core in his mind, the human way of thinking calmed his mind again, and the nausea and severe pain in his head disappeared.

I didn't know what happened with my eyes closed, and I only heard a loud bang. When I opened my eyes again, the weird mechanical core had fallen to the ground. The machine stopped working after the fall, and a few parts were scattered everywhere.

The main part of the core continued to burst out cremation. According to Jenkins' experience, this was a precursor to the steam furnace exploding.

"Blow it up!"

Alexia shouted loudly, and Jenkins immediately did it, and the black shadow behind him shot straight to the ground. But after the weird sound of beeping and the black sparks exploded, an invisible blue shock wave spread outward, instantly covering the entire snowfield.

The illusion spread outward with the blue shock wave, but this time it was no longer an illusion of the city, but a man in a white robe with his face covered in a hood, holding a burred metal box and talking to himself. The surface of the box was not polished smooth, but was made up of tiny gears. From a distance, it looked like it was covered with burrs. From a close distance, it looked like it had been illuminated by Jenkins' [Mechanical Light] and then pieced together by chocolate.

In the box was a cube made of liquid mercury. Jenkins and Alexia recognized it at a glance. This was the miniature form of the one just now.

"Is it not dead yet?"

Seeing the illusion appear again, Jenkins was shocked and took out his sword as if to muster up the remaining little spirit and wave it towards the void again.

"It doesn't seem to be."

The short lady held down Jenkins' raised hand, and then thought suspiciously:

"I don't know why this happened, but you slashed it with a sword first, and then it was attacked by the twin demons head-on, so it couldn't have been broken... Do you think it's possible that the data stored in the machine leaked out after it broke down?"

If it were in the original world, this would certainly be a very illogical answer. But in this world, this answer is quite reliable. Almost at the same time as Alexia made her guess, Jenkins had a similar idea.

No matter what the two real living people were thinking, the mysterious man in the illusion was still holding the box and talking to himself. Perhaps because it was too badly damaged, the background except for this person was all blurred and full of echoing water patterns. It can only be barely guessed that this is a building made of red square bricks, and from the style point of view, it looks more like an underground building.

But fortunately, the man's voice talking to himself can still be barely distinguished:

"...Finally found it, yes, this is it, so that I can...continue to write new poems, and fate is really on my side...The third step of the Son of Disaster is about to be completed...Others..."

It was probably this kind of voice, blurred and echoing. Although they couldn't connect, fortunately the language he used was not completely lost. Alexia translated it for Jenkins while listening. Excluding words she couldn't understand and syllables that were really unrecognizable, these were all the sounds that could be distinguished.

After that, as Alexia expected, the illusion showed the important "information" stored in the machine one by one. But because Jenkins was too ruthless just now, these broken fragments actually had no other effect except letting the two understand the architectural style and clothing style of thousands of years ago.

When the illusion ended, the two people who slowly descended from the sky saw that the mechanical core had completely turned into scrap metal. After Alexia asked Jenkins to violently dismantle it with a sword, she found a blue cube in the center of the gear.

"This looks a bit like yours."

Jenkins said hesitantly.

PS: Wash your hands frequently and go out less, exercise and rest well. I hope everyone is in good health.

Chapter 1284 Chapter 1263 Towering Snow Mountain Base

The blue cube in the completely scrapped mechanical core, from the outside, is no different from Alexia's except for the size.

"Not only similar, in fact, before I met you, I had always used this strange computing machine as my promotion direction, so the blueprint of [Mathematical Principle] is the core of a similar machine I found in the past. Now it seems that all machines derived from the "original version" of the difference machine in Nolan's underground should have a similar core structure."

As she spoke, Alexia stretched out her right hand with her palm facing up, and a blue cube with a little fluorescence immediately emerged.

This is not a real object, but the essence of Alexia's ability, the crystallization of her soul, the path of the short lady, her "principle", and the rules of the world she understands.

As soon as this cube appeared, the small cubes in the disassembled machine immediately resonated. Alexia obviously wanted to absorb it, but Jenkins was a little worried:

"Will it not affect you if you absorb it rashly? You just saw that this thing is completely crazy."

Jenkins now somewhat understood why the short lady claimed that "everything can be calculated" and showed a certain rigidity when she first met Alexia. She should have been affected by her own path of promotion.

"It's okay, Jenkins. I don't need machinery as the core now. I just need a little bit of calculation rules. What I need is not absorption, but comparison and verification, but..."

She smiled embarrassedly:

"Can you give me some of the things that the goblin guided you to get? I think I need it now."

She was referring to the tree root-like thing. In fact, even if Alexia didn't say it, Jenkins would share it with people around him. After all, this thing can't be eaten too much. Eating too much is almost the same as eating real tree roots for the benefactor. If you are unlucky, you will get a stomachache.

"No need to be so polite."

He took the piece of thing out of his pocket and gave it to Alexia to share a portion. After watching the short lady eat the "root", he ate it himself.

The "root" tasted not as bad as he had imagined, except that it was a little bitter and just scratched his throat. Seeing that everyone was eating, Chocolate climbed on Jenkins' shoulder and meowed.

Jenkins saw that there was still a lot of food left, so he thought about it and took a small piece to feed the cat according to the ratio of the cat's weight to the standard human weight. The original intention was to tease it, after all, this thing was really not delicious, but I didn't expect the cat to actually eat it, and then immediately showed a choked expression.

"I thought you would say I was wasting."

Jenkins laughed at Chocolate while chatting with Alexia.

"That's your cat, I won't say anything."

The short lady muttered softly.

Although swallowing the "root" raw only has a certain chance of getting new bubbles, Jenkins and Alexia are both very lucky.

After that, she successfully absorbed the small blue cube and gained an ability called [Super Calculation (White Basic)]. Jenkins had an extra blank bubble, which was his only blank bubble at present. After all, the two bubbles he had after reaching level 5 were occupied by [Bone Body] and [Stranger] respectively.

"So after returning to Nolan, I will apply to learn [Blessing of Books], and it will definitely work this time!"

He thought happily.

In addition to the small blue cube, the mechanical core destroyed by Jenkins also left a large amount of strange metal. Although it is unrecognizable, its spiritual transmission performance is very good and it is extremely suitable for making enchanted items or talismans.

This is also a small fortune, plus the "roots" that can be divided into at least four parts, this time the harvest made Jenkins very satisfied.

"After I go back, I will look for information about the crazy poet. This matter seems to be not simple."

Alexia said this before leaving, while Jenkins was addicted to playing with cats and didn't care about it.

But the matter was not over yet. Before the two left the snowfield in this special space, the earth suddenly began to shake. Jenkins thought it was an earthquake, but considering the special nature of this space, this was impossible.

For safety, the two did not enter the exit passage immediately, but flew up again, waiting for the earthquake to end before taking action.

But no one expected that the amplitude of the "earthquake" would become larger and larger. Later, the center of the snowfield even bulged upward and rose at a speed visible to the naked eye as the ground shook.

At the same time, the originally isolated space also showed signs of overlapping with the real space of the material world.

About an hour later, the vibration disappeared. When the unicorn landed with the two people, they were already at the highest peak of the nearby mountains.

At this time, the sunset had already set. Jenkins exhaled at the top of the mountain, stamped his feet to make sure that the mountain was solid, and then looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance with Alexia.

The two held hands and stood on the cliff at the top of the peak. Behind them was the unicorn flapping its wings, and in the distance were the continuous snow-capped mountains illuminated by the sunset. The snow-capped mountains were as majestic as a giant beast lying in its nest, but for the two people standing on the high ground, the spectacular sunset scene in front of them was all at their feet.

The setting sun also shone on the shoulders of the two people and the cats on their shoulders. They looked at the beautiful scenery and did not speak for a long time.

"Because we destroyed the sealed objects in the space, this place has returned to the material world?"

Jenkins looked at the fist-sized corner of Loen and asked in disbelief for a long time.

"It seems... that's the case."

But what happened here was even more incredible than the two had guessed.

Standing on the top of the peak and looking for a long time, Jenkins realized that there was no trace of earthquake in the nearby mountains, and the snow surface was still so flat. So he let Alexia stand here alone, and then he rode the unicorn to the sky.
