Hathaway was in a very good mood today, and during the meal, she even talked about the interesting things about going to the theater with Britney today. After dinner, the two said goodbye. Jenkins looked at the sunset and saw that it was about the same time, so he put on a black robe and walked to the city center, and then walked into the hotel where Miss Capet lived.
Of course, he didn't want to see Miss Capet, but Miss Stillwell happened to live here too. When he climbed the stairs, he was still worried about meeting Miss Capet, but at least his luck today was not too bad.
But unfortunately, when they knocked on the door, there was actually a guest at Miss Stewell's place, and the guest was Old Jack who was supposed to be in Shire.
Seeing a stranger visiting, Old Jack left a small bottle of potion and left. When the two passed by, Jenkins was still a little nervous, but fortunately, Old Jack didn't notice anything unusual.
"I thought you were in Loen now."
When Jenkins returned to his original appearance, the woman understood who he was. While arranging the tea sets on the table, he joked, but Jenkins didn't answer the question.
"If I wasn't worried about you leaving early, of course I wouldn't risk coming back. So can we continue our last conversation, about Dad."
"You are really short-tempered. Does Dad like students like this recently? He used to tell me that you should not be too hasty in doing things, but be good at observation and thinking..."
She had already entered the kitchen with the teacup that old Jack had just used, so Jenkins could not hear the rest.
He sat on the sofa, and then looked at the bottle of potion left by old Jack. Observing the dazzling golden color of **, it immediately felt very familiar, and then realized that this was the [Song of the Blesser] he participated in the configuration last year, and his [Mechanical Light] evolved because of it.
"Are you interested?"
The woman returned quickly with a new tea set, but Jenkins shook his head:
"I'm not interested in the potion, after all, it's my configuration. I thought it was expired, after all, it has been several months."
"You configured it?"
Miss Stillwell gave Jenkins a strange look:
"Now I understand why old Jack was so envious when he talked about you just now. Well, let's talk about business. Where did we talk about last time?"
"I tried to investigate you through a friend, and you found it yourself. Last time I talked about Daddy's age, but it's not his most important secret. Also, we also talked about why you left Nolan, he hasn't been back for so many years."
Jenkins remembers the incident well.
"Yes, I have indeed mentioned this... Let me think about where I should continue this topic. Yes, it is better to start with the simplest one. I left Nolan and left the antique shop, not only because of personal reasons, but also because An important task entrusted by the Church."
She was wearing the same unique sacrificial robe that Jenkins had worn the last time she met her today, but she couldn't tell which church it belonged to.
"Of course, personal reasons also include some of Dad's reasons. 38 years ago (Chapter 56), Dad temporarily left Nolan and went with the team to the Third Republic of Thornwell - Cursed Forest - Lake of the Witch , that time he was the only one who survived, do you know about this?"
Miss Stillwell asked.
Jenkins wanted to say he didn't know, but later realized that he had heard of it. It was half a year ago, he followed his father to the castle in the countryside to scan goods, because he encountered a strange situation, his father asked a strange question.
"I've heard of it, but Dad doesn't know the truth about that incident."
he replied.
"He just doesn't know part of the truth. Last time we mentioned that Dad lived forever because of an inexplicable curse. It's nothing, but the immortality of ordinary people has a price..."
Jenkins thought of old Ryan Sam.
"Eternal life is a curse for short-lived species like us, and it is also for the original father. Although I don't know the strength of the father before being cursed, even if he is not a demigod, he is still quite close to that threshold. Even so, such a long life is not what he originally had. The source of the curse of longevity is actually a story from a long, long time ago. At that time, Old Jack and Dad were very young... "
"Wait a minute, you mean, old Jack is Papa's age?"
Because of excessive surprise, Jenkins had to interrupt her rudely.
"That's right, but old Jack's longevity is not a curse, it's caused by the strange potion he concocted when he was young. Those who concoct the potion will always perform strange and unrepeatable miracles, just like an alchemist The same... In short, it is a story more than a hundred years ago. That year, Dad and Old Jack went fishing by the river (Chapter 850)... "
Jenkins heard the following story once from old Jack, and when he heard it again, he realized that when the old man told this story, he was definitely not really feeling the past, but reminding him.
"The two went fishing together. When they found the cave and entered it to find the treasure, the collapse had already happened. The two each took one item. According to my understanding, what old Jack took was a notebook. But he was too hasty when he escaped, so the notebook was lost in the cave, and he didn't take anything; as for the old man, he took a key, which is the source of the curse."
Hearing this, Jenkins didn't ask any more questions, thinking about it in silence, and Miss Stewell remained silent until Jenkins spoke again:
"In what era did this happen?"
"Sorry, I don't know such a specific thing, but at least that's the story before we were born. There are only two of Dad's surviving students, and we are his closest people. I think apart from the church's reference room or Old Jack, no one can answer your question."
The woman sighed, seeing that Jenkins was puzzled, she continued:
"Father only has four official students. The other students he pointed out or accepted due to mission needs are not counted. Our big brother Larry Sheffer has never even met me. He sacrificed Very early; my brother, your brother Capello, died in the undead disaster 30 years ago, and he was buried under the library of the temple. When he was an apprentice at Papa's antique shop, I had already left Nolan for Turin is the capital of the Kingdom of Cheslan, so in fact, you are the first junior I have ever met."
