After listening to Jenkins' narration, Dad was very surprised that the Troll Insurance Company came to him to cooperate. But after learning about the reasons for "opening the era" and "insurance", I feel that it is actually reasonable for this to happen.
"... Later, for some reason, he found out that I was the holy son of the sage, and then turned around and ran away like crazy, without even talking about the cooperation."
Jenkins shrugged, signaling that his story was over.
"Have you seen him again since?"
"No, he didn't come back to the store after that, and I didn't see him again on the way home."
Jenkins said very honestly.
Dad nodded, and after thinking for a long time, he asked Jenkins to write a report on what happened last night. At the same time, he also told Jenkins that it is best for mortals not to have too much contact with those weird things, even if the strange insurance company is not a weird thing, it is not something that mortals should be in contact with.
In addition to the statue, Jenkins also found a gift that Dad didn't find when he was throwing out the trash yesterday morning. It was given to him by his former apprentice.
After Jenkins wiped the counter, he took out the notebook with the bark in it and handed it to the old man. The old man opened it and saw the bark, his eyes widened slowly. This was the first time Jenkins saw him so surprised. But after seeing the words on the bark, the shocked expression turned calm.
"Oh, let me say, why didn't I receive a gift at the Book Festival that year? It turned out to be like this. I thought she was angry because I didn't agree to her vacation plan."
He shook his head, clipped the bark back into his notebook, and handed it to Jenkins to store in the back warehouse.
When he looked up, he saw Jenkins' curious expression. Jenkins really tried his best to express this expression, because he was embarrassed to ask his father in the way of speaking.
"Are you curious?"
asked Dad.
"I'm curious about this Miss Stewell!"
He nodded quickly.
"That's my former apprentice, but he's already graduated."
As he said that, the old man had already walked back to sit on the rocking chair in front of the fireplace, picking up the newspaper so that Jenkins could not see his face.
"So this lady... Miss... Ma'am, well, where does this Miss Stillwell work now?"
Jenkins refrained from showing too much concern.
"Working in Turin, speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a long time."
Dad said it lightly, but Jenkins could hear his desire to end the subject. But this is enough, the words just now did not cause any reaction from the Cleric of Lies, which means that Miss Stillwell is indeed in Turin!
In order to change the subject, Dad also brought Jenkins a new message. Last night, I received information from [Church of Ocean and Exploration]. When their spies were searching for pirates in the city, they accidentally learned another thing:
"The ceremony of [Alien Frenzy] is more than just a set!"
The old man said solemnly, and Jenkins also nodded solemnly to show that he heard it, and was very shocked.
"According to the information received so far, the purpose of [Whip of the Dead] should not only be the ability of [Alien Frenzy]. They collected a large amount of blood sacrifice materials, but the purpose of doing so is unknown. There are rumors that this group of people inherited The remains of the cultists who fled Nolan after the incident of the Son of God failed, we suspect that the Son of God bestowed some terrible knowledge on those cultists, and their purpose may not be pure."
The old man said worriedly, Jenkins nodded seriously again, and said that although it was the first time he heard the news, he already fully understood the importance of this matter.
"It's really troublesome. The plague is not over yet, and now there is a group of evil cultists. Didn't those people find out? Those who dare to do evil in Nolan have never had a good end."
While talking, the old man put away the statue on the counter. This is the crystallization of human wisdom nearly 10,000 years ago. If it was not preserved by the insurance company, it would have been destroyed by the years.
Even if it is not a transcendent item, the value of this stone statue is immeasurable. Next, it will probably be sent to the church, and then the church will send it to the graduate school or the archeology major of a certain school, and that is where it should be.
News of conscription appeared in the Kingdom Daily this morning. The House of Representatives has passed the conscription draft, planning to launch spring conscription from the four eastern counties.
This is a military plan that occurs every year, but the amount of conscription this year is a bit huge, and the transfer of border guards is also very confusing.
"Looks like there's going to be a real war, Jenkins, who do you think will win?"
Dad looked at the newspaper and asked casually.
"Probably we will win. Although the Kingdom of Cheslan and our country belong to the most powerful human kingdom in this era, in fact, the land, population and economy of Cheslan are not as good as our country and the Kingdom of Hampawo. More important Unfortunately, I heard from newspapers that the introduction of modern steam machinery into our army has reached an astonishing one-tenth ratio, yet Cheslan is still using old firearms from more than 20 years ago... "
Jenkins was cleaning the counter while talking, and the old man kept nodding behind him, but his eyes were empty when he held the newspaper, as if he was remembering something from the past.
It was nearly ten o'clock when the first customer came to the door, but he just spent money to ask the old man to help identify some things, so it was not a big business.
After the guest left, Jenkins chatted with his father about the Quick family. The father quietly told Jenkins that the church has now confirmed that the underground blood sacrifice ceremony of the Quick family is used to summon monsters.
Apparently that's the strongest evidence of an attempted murder against Jenkins, and the Quick name is probably lost forever anyway.
"Maybe the blood sacrifice ceremony is related to the Whip of the Dead ceremony. The church can investigate the materials used by the Quake family."
Jenkins said casually.
The old man was startled, and then he actually felt that what Jenkins said made a lot of sense. Even though Jenkins repeatedly explained that it was just a whim, Dad still took this idea very seriously.
After lunch he wrote a letter for Jenkins to deliver to the church, and of course Jenkins could drop by with his report on the insurance salesman.
Chocolate naturally stays with Jenkins, and it rarely leaves Jenkins. Because he was very satisfied with the lunch, he fell asleep in a daze after leaving the antique shop.
When Jenkins saw the banks of the Westminster River from a distance, he could even feel the even breathing of the cat on his chest.
