In the Church of the Sage in Hot Spring Town, after the old keeper burned the letter sent to Beldyran, he sat on the sofa in the reception room and chatted with Jenkins. But the replies came back before the two had even moved on from their boring weather conversation.
With a sharp sound, the fire flashed above the desk not far from the sofa, and the letter paper appeared out of thin air, and automatically floated in front of the keeper.
"There is a reply so soon? So fast this time?"
The old man muttered something, and then opened the letter. Seeing the first line of words, my hands trembled and I almost tore the letter.
He looked across the letter to Jenkins' face, then to the letter; then to Jenkins' face, then to the letter again.
After taking a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, he folded the letter neatly and placed it in the book beside him. The keeper adjusted his sitting posture, and once again looked at the young man who was feeding the cat with fruit on the sofa.
"Mr. Williams?"
"Huh? Oh, yes, it's me. What does the Holy See say? Do you want me to go back by steam train? God, that's a trip across half a continent~"
"It's really you~ I mean, it's an honor to meet you. I really didn't expect a living Holy Son to come to the Diocese of Hot Spring Town. I don't even know what to say..."
It can be seen that the old man wants to express his welcome with warm words, but is worried that it will appear too artificial. Simply gave up the words of welcome, and said the words of the Holy See:
"Saint William, the Holy See just sent instructions. They are very happy that you did not encounter any trouble and that you were able to find the nearest Sage Church. The Diocese of Nolan reported your disappearance to Beldylan this morning. It's okay. You show up in time, or there is bound to be a bigger explosion.
The Holy See instructed that you do not need to take the steam train back to Nolan, the Holy See will arrange a steam airship to pick you up in the Kingdom of Hampavo. But you need to go to Loen City to wait first. After all, the steam airship cannot fly in the extreme climate near Hot Spring Town. The temperature here is not suitable for the operation of a special type of steam furnace... This is a letter, you can check it. "
The convenience brought by the identity of the Holy Son is unimaginable. After checking the soul emblem, Jenkins' identity was officially confirmed. In order to avoid causing riots, Jenkins did not let the church members disclose their identities, but only talked with the local bishop.
By convention, most bishops in the diocese are elderly people. The Diocese of Wenquan Town is no exception. Even though this diocese only covers the narrow area of Wenquan Town, although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it still has the rules it should have.
Today, there was a train from Hot Spring Town to Loen City. After Jenkins explained that he wanted to leave immediately, someone immediately helped him get a ticket for the 6 o'clock in the evening.
The diocese of Wenquan Town can only use extremely expensive letters to communicate with the Holy See, but the diocese of Ruen is different. As long as he reaches Ruen, he may be able to contact Nolan through some other method.
Originally, the Diocese of Hot Spring Town wanted to send a few people to escort Jenkins to Loen, but Jenkins politely refused. He said that he is a fourth-level gifter and has rich combat experience. Although this place is a little strange to him, no one in the local area knows him, and no one plans to harm him.
Rather than attracting attention with escorts, it is better to travel alone. It's only two nights and one day's travel from Hot Spring Town to Loen, so it's not a big deal.
"But this is against the rules. When you come to us, we must pay attention to it after all."
The old bishop said in embarrassment that after confirming Jenkins' identity, he stayed by Jenkins' side all the time, and even proposed to organize a small lecture meeting for Jenkins to explain the scriptures of the sages to local priests and priests.
"It's okay, don't pay too much attention to me, you can treat me as an ordinary believer who comes here to travel. And there is always peace around me, so there won't be any big problems."
In this way, Jenkins bid farewell to the group who escorted him to the station that afternoon, and boarded the train to Ruen City to start a new journey. It was a pity that he did not travel in the bustling hot spring town, so he bought some tourist souvenirs near the station and planned to give them to his friends when he returned to Nolan.
After confirming that the luggage was delivered to the box in good condition, Jenkins sat on the soft bed. Until now, he began to wonder about the miraculous experience of this day. It was so obvious this morning... In the evening, I crossed half a continent and prepared for a train trip in the icy and snowy Northland. This is really hard to imagine.
And thinking of the root of all this, he looked down and saw the cat lying comfortably on the pillow.
His eyes narrowed subconsciously, because he encountered a strange situation just after transferring, and the cat's mistakes had not had time to be punished. So he stretched out his hand and poked the squinting cat, wondering if it was asleep. The latter replied lazily:
"Meow~"
It flicked its front paws away from Jenkins' fingers and let out a lazy cry, but it was more like a yawn.
"I feel like you kicked over the glass bottle on purpose in the morning. To be honest, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Jenkins asked, then felt a little silly talking to cats.
Of course, the cat ignored the man's question and lay comfortably on the pillow. Although it doesn't like to travel too long away from home, at least a comfortable cushion can still make the cat comfortable.
As for butterflies, that sort of thing doesn't matter at all.
"You are not allowed to play with butterflies in the future."
Jenkins continued to talk, feeling more and more stupid about himself. It's not like he didn't suspect that his cat with a high IQ was pretending to be stupid, but looking at Chocolate's stupid look, he felt that it was not that kind of cat.
And from Shire, Jenkins knew that the cat hated stray butterflies, and what happened in the morning was surprising but not very unexpected.
In the end, the warning against chocolate was not realized, and Jenkins was reluctant to teach it a lesson. So he could only threaten to withhold its rations. The cat got angry for a while and then lay down again, giving Jenkins the illusion that he was being comforted by the cat.
"Forget it, I will punish it when I return to Nolan, and I must not make it develop the habit of destroying things wantonly!"
Now both people and cats are in the Kingdom of Hampawo, which can be regarded as "smuggling". Jenkins originally had the habit of keeping the phantom in the closet at home, but when he was in the cemetery on Friday morning, in order to prevent unnecessary battles, he temporarily revoked the shadow in the closet and set up a new phantom in the cemetery instead.
When leaving the cemetery, in order to prevent rumors of haunting in the cemetery, the phantom was also canceled. After that, he did not go home and stayed at Hathaway's place all night, so now even if he wants to take the initiative to return to Nolan, he can't do it .
