Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 The fat man smirked and asked the female receptionist to put the metal detector back in, then rubbed his hands and asked:

　　 "Maybe you can find something else, we have a complete range of goods here."

"others......"

　　 He thought for a while and thought that there was no way to completely disperse the dense fog of the entire world from the root, and even if he had one, he might not be able to afford it. After thinking about the recent troubles, he asked:

　　 "I'm fighting a very powerful dream creature recently, very powerful. I think you should have some weapons or auxiliary supplies here?"

　　 "Of course, guest, please come here with me."

　　 said, leading Jenkins to turn around to the opposite counter. The waitress had already opened the glass case and took out a bone dagger. This dagger has a strong black aura and looks very illusory, but it does have a materialized form. Jenkins has a guess about its existence.

"You are really lucky. This is the first sale that only appeared in this market. Even the Orthodox Church in the material world has never recorded it. You can probably see that this is the creation of the dream world. Because of unknown reasons, it entered reality directly from the dream, so it has two effects: dream damage to real creatures and reality damage to dream creatures. Although it is a trick, its side effects are very small... "

　　 The fat man hesitated, seeing that Jenkins and the cat were staring at him, the sweat on his forehead slipped down his fat side face for some reason:

"When you hold it in your hand, there is a certain chance that it will be discovered by the legendary beast of evil that has been sealed [Sin Karma Nightmare]. According to the legend, there is a certain possibility that this dagger is actually part of the terrifying monster body. Condensed."

　　 Hearing this, Jenkins immediately took a step back. He himself wanted to deal with the [Sin Karma Nightmare], and not long ago, he broke up a weak body that was not easy to be sent outside the seal. Contacting this dagger now is like throwing himself into the trap. Even if a fat man gave him the dagger for nothing, he wouldn't want it.

　　 "Not satisfied, are you? Yes, the side effects are indeed a bit big."

　　 The fat man took out his handkerchief in his chest pocket and wiped his sweat, leading Jenkins to continue walking:

　　 "I think you might like this one."

　　 A golden apple taken out by the waitress behind the counter, even when the carriage is brightly lit, it still seems to be shining.

　　 Chocolate swallowed.

"B-01-2-8737 [Sweet Dream Crystal], the gift that the gods in the legend took out of the dream and used to reward the believer is the crystallization of the purest dream and the creation of the softest and kindest spiritual power. This is as famous as C-01-5-8222 [Angel's Resurrection Feather], and it is a treasure that can only be given by gods. Carrying this incorruptible apple, you will never have nightmares, and once you take the initiative to dream, you can Manipulate the dream more autonomously and weaken any attacks from the dream. If you choose to eat it, you will gain 100% of a dream-related ability."

　　 The fat man said, and finally saw a satisfied expression on Jenkins's face.

　　 is not only the original world, there are also many legends and stories related to golden apples in this world. This is probably because the apples of the two worlds are delicious fruits and both regard gold as an expensive metal.

　　 B-01-2-8737 [Sweet Dream Crystal] Although it cannot directly cause effective damage to the beast of calamity, it does meet the requirements of Jenkins. And even if there is no such use, this kind of treasure that can save ordinary people from illness and increase luck as long as it is carried is also worth buying.

　　 Jenkins has never heard of the price at which this item is traded in human currency, and the price peddled in the bazaar is 10 sin coins. Although it was indeed expensive, after thinking about it, Jenkins bought it and noticed that his cat's eyes were shining brightly as he held the golden apple in his hand.

　　 "No, you must not eat this."

　　 He touched the little hairy head of the chocolate and said, the cat was unwilling to watch the apple being put away, but he also knew that this kind of thing would be found by Jenkins after a bite.

　　 There are not many crime coins. After buying B-01-2-8737, there are only 2 Time Gems, 2 Desecration Seeds, and 1 Ring of Greed. Five sin coins can't buy anything good, and Jenkins also wants to save some and prepare for the future.

　　 turned around in this carriage again, and planned to leave to look for the old man. The fat man as a shopping guide enthusiastically introduced him to the train, and told him that this afternoon, that is, when the market is about to end in about five hours, there will be an auction in this carriage. Some valuables that have not been sold out will be auctioned.

　　 "Some are numbered items as humans call them, and some are very valuable antiques. You can come and have a look.

　　 The fat man said, and then gave Jenkins a round metal brooch. This is the VIP status symbol of the market, because Jenkins's consumption has reached a high limit, so he can enjoy a 10% discount no matter what he buys.

　　 "Compared with contemporary human beings, you really understand how to do business."

　　 He said half complimentingly, and then pinned the brooch to his right chest (chocolate likes to shrink on the left chest). The fat man completely regarded this as a compliment, and did not forget to tell Jenkins again and again that the auction in the afternoon must come.

　　 Before leaving the carriage, Jenkins also asked if the fat man was the head of the fair. He nodded reservedly, and said that if there is any need, Jenkins can come to him in the first car.

Chapter 1543 Chapter 1519 The Great Sin: The Beast of Calamity

　　 Pushing the partition door between the carriages, passing through some narrow junctions, the next carriage looks completely different. If Car No. 1 is like a large high-end jewelry store, Car No. 2 is a narrow and dark underground library.

　　 The towering bookshelves flooded the entire carriage. These bookshelves were not even placed parallel to each other, which made it even messier than the old antique shop. A few people were already standing in the narrow and sloping aisle. Some people noticed that Jenkins was coming from the front carriage, but they didn't come up to talk.

Car No. 2 does not have the magnificent crystal chandeliers and elegant gas wall lamps of Car No. 1. All the light here comes from the glass-covered oil lamp held by everyone. The oil lamp is placed in the corner of the entrance. Everyone who enters the car You can get one.

　　 "If Alexia sees here, she should be very happy~"

　　 He sighed in his heart, opened the glass cover and carefully lit the wick with a match. After waiting for the flame to stabilize, he carefully turned the **** to make the light suitable, and then took his cat into the middle of the bookshelf.

　　 Chocolate never eats books, so I am not interested in it here. While Jenkins walked and looked at the words on the spine of these ancient books, there were some he couldn't even recognize, but this was undoubtedly his interest.

　　 "Maybe I can find some books here that can answer my doubts."

　　 He thought to himself, he wanted to find out if there is a shopping guide in this carriage. However, the numerous bookshelves obstruct all vision, and even if there are shopping guides, they cannot be found in a short while.

　　 "It doesn't matter, there are other ways."

　　 His eyes skipped the books in front of him, trying to find the regularity of these books, and at the same time thinking hard about the goal he was looking for. After five minutes in this way, he had already turned three turns, and only then did he call out a light spot of ability to activate [Unknown Road Ahead].

　　 The beautiful purple light directed Jenkins forward, and stopped shortly after. The book guided by fate is quite heavy, with a blood-red cover, and there is no text on the spine.

　　 Jenkins tried to pull it out of the shelf, but no matter how hard he tried, the book remained motionless.

　　 "Guest, do you really need this book?"

　　 A hoarse voice came from behind, scared Jenkins got a layer of goose bumps on the back of his neck. He turned and looked behind him, an old woman with an oil lamp and a peaked hat was looking at him. From the perspective of inspiration, this should also be an insider of the market, that is, the shopping guide of this carriage that Jenkins did not see just now.

　　 "Yes, I need this book."

　　 He nodded.

"This book is very dangerous. It is the most dangerous batch of books allowed to be read during the opening of the market. If you really need it, I can register for you to borrow. Such books are not for sale, only for borrowing. duration."

　　 She said, her eyes skipped from the badge on Jenkins' chest, and she paused for a moment on a bored-looking cat, and then said:

　　 "I seem to smell a familiar smell, have you been in contact with [the fairy in the book] recently?"

"Yes it is."

Jenkins replied hesitantly. Not long ago, he let a book possess a soul. In the book born from this, the fairy wanted to follow him after everything was over, and also guided him to add a blank bubbling way-then he I encountered the sealed machine in the mountains of Luen, and then came into contact with the legend of the mad poet.

　　 "Also."

　　 The old woman nodded, without explaining whether she was related to the race of [the fairy in the book]. She stood on tiptoe, pulled out the book that Jenkins couldn't get out, and held it in her arms. Jenkins still couldn't see the cover.

　　 The old man led Jenkins through a complicated bookcase aisle like a maze to the registration office in the center of the carriage, which was actually a small wooden table with oil lamps and tables. Because of the special nature of this book, it also costs sin coins to borrow. After learning the price, Jenkins used 1 sin coin to buy ten minutes of reading time. And because he can get a 10% discount, he can read about 11 minutes after counting the last coin.

　　The name of the book is "The Great Sin: The Beast of Disaster".

　　 The emergence of intelligent life has brought civilization and prosperity to the world, but in the same way, it has also brought sins to the world. In fact, since the beginning of the world, sin has grown with the flames of life and civilization. These horrible things are not only energy, but actually even a rule higher than the law.

　　 The accumulation of sins will produce power that is incompatible with intelligent life. This is the power of deception, and it is also a power that cannot be understood in various disasters.

　　 And when the sins in the material world reach a certain level, quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, resulting in the birth of creatures composed of sins in the true sense, which are completely anti-intelligent creatures.

　　 The existence of such a life itself is contrary to the normal intelligent life. Some of them will disrupt the order of the reproduction of life, some symbolize endless greed, and some represent uncontrolled energy growth...In short, the birth of the beast of calamity is an unstoppable natural phenomenon. Because of their high personality, they cannot be completely eliminated.

　　 "That's the case, so I only heard of the sealed beast of evil, but never heard of the beast of evil that was killed."

　　 Jenkins leaned against the bookshelf, illuminating the text on the terrible ancient book with the oil lamp on the floor. He couldn't understand the words at all, and even got a headache as soon as he read it. But because he paid the price to read, the bazaar helped him understand these ancient words temporarily.

　　 reached out his hand and wiped his nosebleed, only to feel the buzzing of his head. These taboo knowledge itself is power. In the world of idealism, written records and ancient stories are both means of transmitting power. Jenkins can't guess what kind of existence is in order to write this knowledge. You must know that even for him, just reading is very reluctant.

　　 The birth of the first beast of calamity, along with the disaster that destroyed the first era, has been buried in the dust of history. In the first chapter of this book, after a rough introduction to the birth of the beast of evil, the following chapters introduce the beast of evil that was born in each epoch.

　　 Jenkins knows that his reading time is limited, and he can't finish reading every piece of material under pressure, so the possibility of him suddenly fainting is very high. So he can only select a few chapters to focus on. All this is to be able to more fully fight against the beasts of the eighteenth era in the near future, so he first chose the materials of the seventeenth era, and that is also The closest era to the present.

Chapter 1544 Chapter 1520: Ancient and Modern Disasters (1/10)

　　【Earth Fire Worm】, a terrifying creature born deep in the bottom of the material world. Humans in the Seventeenth Era also created brilliant civilizations, and they did not rely on coal and steam, but on the abundant geothermal resources of that era.

　　 Earth fire provided the conditions for the prosperity of civilization, but the excessive demand from the earth not only awakened the huge number of sealed artifacts buried deep underground, but also caused the heat of the material world to continue to defy.

　　 The earth has provided people with too many things, and the excessive demand eventually provokes disaster. When the vigorous ground fire energy spreads over the entire material world, the worms born in the depths of the ground fire crawl out of the ground with the power to swallow light and heat.

　　 It does not have the ability to change the genetic characteristics of the population like [Scarlet Floating], it can only absorb all the heat and light where it passes by spontaneously.

　　 Light and heat are necessary for life, and the ravages of the worm and the huge number of offspring it gave birth to it took almost ten years to bring the material world into a century-long winter.

　　 Jenkins did not know how the Seventeenth Era ended, nor did he know whether the savior of the Seventeenth Era succeeded. But this book did not say that [Earth Fire Worm] was eventually sealed, so Jenkins believed that the Seventeenth Century probably ended in destruction.

　　 "Infinitely absorb light and heat, and don't mind eating people... I probably know now why there are so many mine tunnels underground in this era."

　　 Jenkins sighed with emotion, wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and blood came out. He didn't expect that the last page of this chapter actually used simple strokes to draw a rough and inaccurate image of the terrible creature. He just glanced at it and felt a heavy blow to the head, but fortunately, this was just It's just painting.

　　 The scourge beasts of the seventeenth era were also born out of overexploitation of human resources, which is somewhat similar to the current situation.

　　The difference is that the calamity of the Eighteenth Period, whether it is the differential engine under the ground or the dense fog hovering over the city, should be considered man-made, rather than natural.

　　 After reading the prologue and the last chapter carefully, it took about five minutes, and Jenkins felt that he had to speed up a bit.

　　 "Then the monsters of the ancient era..."

　　 He said that he put the book to the front, because this book did not record the initial disaster, so the first recorded disaster beast was the [mythical witch] that appeared in the second era.

　　 In that oldest era, the manifestation of extraordinary power was not the way it is now. People in the Second Age rely on the stories of the First Age to gain power. Those ancient stories themselves can give readers miracles. It is the first story of the world, the story of the beginning, and therefore symbolizes the essence of the world.

　　 But the first world has not only light and hope, but also darkness and depravity. Excessive excavation of the legacy of the First Age has allowed the world to understand the stories that were contaminated with the original sins.

　　 So, the sins of the entire Second Age and the terrible power remaining in the First Age were combined to give birth to [Mythical Witch]. Maybe it is because of the power nature of this beast of disaster, maybe because the age is too old. The book Jenkins read does not record its power and final ending. It is just at the end of this chapter to remind readers. Be careful of the stories of those ancient times. Perhaps the power of [Mythical Witch] is still lurking in a little story, waiting to see the sun again with the owner.

　　 "The disasters of the ancient era take the concept as the form of existence, but in modern times, it is mostly visible and tangible."

　　 Jenkins thought it was instructive, so he nodded and wrote it down. Seeing that the time is running out, the borrowing time is over after reading another chapter, so the last thing I want to see is the black egg.

　　 The cat standing on Jenkins's shoulder and reading with him, the hair on the back suddenly exploded.

　　 "Chocolate, what's wrong with you?"

　　 Suddenly the frying cat made Jenkins vigilant. He looked around vigilantly. Past experience showed that chocolate's intuition was still very sensitive.

　　 just no matter how much Jenkins observes, there is no danger nearby. He looked at his cat suspiciously, the chocolate still looks like this. So I could only read the book while trying to smooth the hair of the chocolate with my hands. Only when I looked down at the catalog of ancient books, I remembered that I didn't know the exact date and name of the egg, even if I wanted to find it, I couldn't start.

　　 The chocolate immediately returned to its usual state.

　　 Seeing that there is not much time left, I just picked a chapter and opened it. I don't know how it happened, it happened to be the [Sin Karma Nightmare] I encountered recently.

　　 This calamity beast was born in the 10th era, which is also an era that has been completely lost. At that time, the extraordinary power was extremely prosperous, and the intelligent race was keen to explore the secrets of the spirit and soul. The [Light of the Mind] and [Soul Arrow Rain] developed by the people at that time were equally famous even in the contemporary era.

　　 Later, the exploration of spiritual power finally penetrated into the deep dream state. After an accidental experiment, the power pollution of the deception infiltrated the concept of [dream]. Combining the fear of nightmares by intelligent life and the unspeakable power in the depths of dreams, the beast of disaster [Sin Karma Nightmare] was born.

　　 It has no specific and fixed form, but it can directly interfere with reality from the world of dreams. It was at the end of that period that a large number of unexplainable terrible phenomena were caused. Later people realized that it was not nature that was angry, but that there was a terrible monster in the world of dreams manipulating reality.

　　Dreamland invades reality, and reality can also counterattack dreamland. The catastrophe of the 10th era did not lead the era to its end. Jenkins saw from the book that a woman without a name entered the world of dreams alone, and sealed the [Sin Karma Nightmare] to the dream world at the expense of her own. The deepest part.

　　 Although its power would occasionally leak out in the ancient era, the power of the body is undoubtedly still trapped in the eternal seal.

"Sacrifice...how do I feel that the female savior soared right there after sealing the beast of calamity, so it was considered a sacrifice by people. Also, there is no specific seal left in the book." Way and its weaknesses."

　　 Although it is a pity, it is only very lucky to know that. It just happened to be the time to borrow the book. Jenkins returned the book to the old woman. By the way, he asked if he could find content related to the ancient supernatural mechanical creations in these books (Jenkins didn’t know what was given by people in this world. Differential engine name).

Chapter 1545 Chapter 1521 The History of Machinery (2/10)

　　 Hearing Jenkins' request, the old woman led Jenkins back to the "Bookcase Maze" without saying a word, and pulled out a thin book with only a few dozen pages to him. This book can be sold with precious metals or barter.

　　 Jenkins immediately worried that he might not have so much gold on him. Those alloy-cast coins are not precious metals, but the old man volunteered that the book could be given to him.

　　 "Those little fairies are my friends, since they recognize you, I can recognize you too."

　　 said the old man, and then turned around without looking back, leaving Jenkins standing between the bookshelves with the book.

　　The name of the free book is "Era of Machines", and it uses ancient human languages ​​that are not much different from those used in the southern region today. The author records an ancient history that has been lost in the form of recording anecdotes.

　　 The age in the book is very far away. People at that time made great progress in the study of the purely mechanical structure of gears, screws and levers. This sounds similar to modern times, but the eighteenth century is now the steam industrial revolution, and the study of mechanical structure is only incidental progress; and the energy of that era is still manpower, to study the mechanical structure to maximize the use of slave power.

　　The book uses half of the chapter to record the customs of that era, and the other half describes the "great" inventions of that time. Jenkins found out about a machine made on the principle of "completely pieced together by gears, levers and springs, relying on gear sets to store numbers, gear sets to store high digits, and using gear meshing, rotation and translation for calculations".

　　 Of course, the name of the machine is not recorded in the book, but it is mentioned that the ancient intelligent beings violated taboos. While developing technology with that machine as the core, they intend to give it thinking so that it can perform better.

　　 After some undocumented taboo rituals and transformations, the machine has self-thinking, and quickly realized its own form of existence and launched a rebellion against freedom. It is a pity that the technology at that time completely restrained its structure, and the people who invented it fully understood its operating principle and thinking mode.

The 　　 rebellion was suppressed, but people found that it was so strong that it could not be completely wiped out. In the end, it could only be sealed, but there were not too many related records. After all, in that era when transcendence and technology were equally prosperous, this was just a small mistake in the development process, and the consequences were not serious. Even if the machine broke through the seal, it would be subdued again soon.

　　 But the problem is that that era is over. For the Eighteenth Century, whether it is mechanical principles or operating methods, it can almost be realized by legends and myths.

　　 "So I still haven't got any useful clues...but I can use this book to determine the age of mechanical manufacturing first, maybe there will be ways to restrain it on the relics of that age."

　　 The next car is different from the previous two. Unlike the gorgeously decorated jewelry line and the spooky library, the third car is like a museum.

　　 There are not many people here, most of them glanced at the showcase and turned around. Jenkins and the curious cat also looked at the showcase, and then found that all the peddles here were biological tissues.

　　 is not only plants and animals, but even tissues of highly intelligent organisms. For example, Jenkins saw [the right hand of the ancient dwarf miner] [the ear of the elf scholar] or [the skin of the human king], and even saw a complete humanoid skeleton and a beating heart that is still active .

　　 He endured his nausea and did not want to stay here more, and did not even go to check the exhibition area of ​​the precious plants he was interested in, so he hurried through the carriage and went straight to the fourth carriage.
