Everyone had just talked about Dolores' father, Salci II, on Monday night. Early Tuesday morning, the palace herald appeared outside the manor. At that time, everyone was eating, and Dolores was asking about her sister's schoolwork. Jenkins and Alexia continued to talk about Nolan and the plan to prepare the potion tonight. Afterwards, the servant came in a hurry. After whispering a few words in Lia's ear, Julia said to everyone:
"Mr. Williams, His Majesty wants to see you."
"Um?"
Jenkins stopped touching the cat in fright. He never thought that he would be summoned by Dolores' father at such a sensitive time.
His Majesty the King is going to meet Jenkins now, so Jenkins could only hurriedly ask the ladies to prepare clothes for him, and then asked Julia temporarily about his preparations for meeting the King.
Julia reassured Jenkins that Salsi II was not the type of king who cared much about ceremony.
The carriage drove Jenkins into the city in a hurry. After being inspected by the palace attendants, the contraband he was carrying was removed, and even cats were not allowed to be brought in.
He could only let Dolores and Alexia who were waiting at the bottom of the hill take care of the chocolate temporarily, and then followed the herald into the palace alone.
Although I have been here more than once, the range of activities in the past was limited to Dolores's boudoir. It is a new thing to walk on the sidewalk like this. ?”
The place where Sarcy II and Jenkins met was his study. The weather was getting warmer day by day, but the heating was still on in his study.
While saluting, Jenkins also secretly sensed the vitality of the burly middle-aged man, and realized that his time was really numbered.
This formal meeting was quite strange. Jenkins thought that the other party would ask about his relationship with Dolores, but it didn't. His Majesty the King didn't even ask Jenkins the purpose of coming to this country.
He just chatted with Jenkins about the situation in the mainland, and then talked about some in-depth issues in the financial and economic fields that Jenkins is "good at", and then let him leave.
Jenkins tried to grasp the rhythm of the conversation throughout the whole process, but the other party's topic changed so quickly that he didn't understand why he wasted this hour until he left.
"Salsi II is inspecting his children."
This was Alexia's conclusion after returning to the carriage.
"Investigate your own children, why do you want to meet and talk with me?"
Jenkins still didn't get it.
"Dolores and her brothers and sisters have always lived under the eyes of their father, and they can't hide any secrets at all. What Salci II wants to see are those things he doesn't understand. Wait, Jenkins , In the last few days, more people will be summoned into the palace. I admire Dolores' father a little bit. His physical condition has reached such a bad point, but he can still think about the country... "
The meeting with Salsi II was just a small episode of the day, and Jenkins' main activity this Tuesday was still in Nolan.
After returning to the manor, he took the cat back to the city surrounded by thick fog, and then looked at the black clouds above his head, and suddenly had a new understanding of what Miss Bevanna said "sacrifice to draw power to trigger miracles" idea.
On the one hand, the purpose of this trip is to try to enter the doomsday illusion for the second time, so as to reach a second deal with the clock tower old man. On the other hand, it is to meet the old elves. Tonight is the full moon phase of the double moon, which is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time.
The old elf's life has been very leisurely recently, and Jenkins is very welcome to come again. I heard that he was going to make the potion tonight, but I just told him to follow the steps, don't worry, and didn't have any other reminders.
But for the strange piece of wood that Jenkins brought from the seal of Loen Snow Mountain, the elf seemed very surprised:
"You mean you found this from an ancient seal?"
"Yes, together with the dragon skin, it is used to preserve a metal rod. I see that this wooden pipe has not rotted after thousands of years, so I want to show you."
"This is really surprising. There is this kind of wood in the seal of the fifteenth era. Even in my hometown, this kind of wood is very rare. It is a kind of wood called 'Terali'. The wood heart of the sub-magic wood, this wood itself is very suitable for the ability of conducting spells, or assisting in rituals. In ancient times, it was often used by elves to make spirit storage staffs or staffs of spell masters. Later, because of the climate Changes and the migration of elves, the tree species of Terraria's magic wood are constantly decreasing, even I only saw it once or twice when I was young... "
When the old elf said this, he hesitated, and then seemed to make up his mind:
"This should be God's will. Jenkins, I remember you have prepared three wooden hearts?"
"Yes, this is the most important material."
"When configuring the potion, replace one of them with this one. Also, I remember you still have a sword of the World Tree in your hand?"
The old elf asked again, and Jenkins nodded after thinking about it:
"There is only half of it left, and it is not pure wood of the world tree. It has been synthesized by a machine. Even I don't know what the specific ingredients are now. More importantly, the half of the sword is because it is the same as the skeleton sword. Collision should have no effect now."
He explained with difficulty.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it still contains the ingredients of the world tree. Listen, use the half of the sword body and replace it with the second wooden heart. The third wooden heart is still prepared by you, but you must choose the best one. .This is very important and must be remembered.”
The old elf seriously instructed that Jenkins didn't understand the meaning of this, but everything will be revealed tonight, so he nodded in agreement.
"Also, about the Mr. Corpse you mentioned last time, have you heard the follow-up?"
After talking about the potion, the two chatted about the weather in Ruen and Nolan before the old elf started talking about a new topic.
"No, no one ever told me about it."
Jenkins shook his head.
"I have some ways of my own. I learned from my friends that [Death and the Last Church]'s grave guard team was led by the local demigod Davis, and went directly to that hospital for a comprehensive search. Including the one you mentioned In that underground morgue, there was neither a living person nor a dead body. On the contrary, many footprints were found in the morgue, which basically proved that the party you mentioned was not a collective hallucination, but those morgues It's all empty and there's nothing in it."
