Jenkins does not intend to expose the God in front of him as a liar. God has a plan for God, and people have their lives. God’s intervention in the material world is often hidden and silent, and usually even in the end, they will not let it go. Anyone spot the signs.
Although he was curious, he didn't need to worry about whether the other party's plan would affect him. He only needed to worry about the fate of the Franka family in the end.
After a polite farewell, Jenkins left with his cat. The man in the study did as he said just now, flipping through the tome in his hand under the light of the gas lamp, he didn't close the book until the old housekeeper knocked on the door to inform him that dinner was available, and walked to the window .
The room was filled with a transparent white mist, and in that white mist, the young man brought by Jenkins appeared on the floor. He was lying on the brand new carpet with a dazed and ignorant look. After all, the memory of the last moment was still attacked by the man who checked the steam meter.
"I'm just asking the question once, hope you take the chance. Where is that gem now?"
"What treasure..."
It was only halfway through the conversation that he realized how unusual this scene was. The aura of the man with his back turned to him was so strange, when he stood in front of the window, even the galaxy in the night sky outside the window was distorted into an indescribable abstract oil paint. The stars are dimmed by his presence, and the silent night is lifeless.
Just standing there with his back to himself, the oppressive atmosphere in the room has made him almost unable to breathe. The air was terrible as if it had condensed. He wasn't sure that it was because he was too nervous to breathe, but that the air in the room really had a terrible change.
"I… "
As soon as the words came out, the voice was so hoarse, and it couldn't stop trembling from the first syllable. It must not be because the man who checked the steam meter punched his throat.
"That gift is here with me now."
The subconscious feeling made him dare not lie, he just hoped to end all this quickly, even if he died on the spot, it would be better than the current situation.
"That makes the problem much simpler."
After finishing speaking with "Franca" who was standing with his back turned, under the invisible traction, the gem in the man's soul immersed in the carpet automatically emerged from his forehead.
It was a huge red gemstone, and if it was inlaid on the crown, it would hardly need any polishing.
"This gem is mine now, and you can get some gifts as compensation."
"OK."
The trembling man on the carpet didn't dare to say any more words, and rushed out of the manor after getting permission. After spending his carefree life in prison, he dared not recall the scene of that night. But for such a person, living in prison until the age of 90 is a great gift.
"Even if I become a god, I still like the feeling of opening presents."
The god standing in front of the window looked at the gemstone floating in front of him, and with a light twist of his fingers, the gifted gemstone shattered into powder. After those useless residues fell to the ground, dots of golden light danced in the room. The light is very faint, but it has an unusual sense of presence.
"It's just a little residue of priesthood fragments, I know I don't have such good luck..."
(Chocolate is running... )
When he returned to Loen, he had already missed dinner time, but fortunately there was still some food left in the kitchen, so Jenkins told Alexia about today's wonderful day at the dinner table.
Dolores and Julia were not in the manor. As the war between the two southern kingdoms began, the atmosphere in the unrelated northern kingdom became more and more tense. In addition to Loen itself being in a mess, it was also because earlier today, the official letters from the Kingdom of Cheslan and the Kingdom of Fidgetli arrived at Loen almost at the same time.
"So what I gained in Nolan today is that on the one hand, I learned that the mad poet is dead, and the clues about that machine have been cut off; This one, the incomplete ability I have now, is very likely to be the next emblem of the savior."
Jenkins said as he swallowed the bread in his mouth, his voice muffled by it. Alexia also knew that Jenkins was starving, so she didn't care how he ate. In fact, even Chocolate eats better than Jenkins at the moment, Chocolate is a very polite cat.
"That's valuable enough, not to mention that you met another god in the material world. The symbolic significance of this event is enough for anyone to brag about for a lifetime."
"Alexia, stop joking with me. Speaking of which, how is Ruen's situation? Has His Majesty the king who has sealed himself in the deep palace made a decision?"
The special envoys of the two countries came to Loen at such a sensitive time, naturally because of the ongoing war. When the two sides are temporarily evenly matched, it becomes very important to find foreign aid, or to ensure that the opponent cannot find foreign aid. This morning, for some reason, the special envoys of the two countries got off the train at Ruen Station almost at the same time, and bumped into each other at the exit.
"You can't imagine how lively it was at that time. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can imagine how tomorrow's newspapers will report this event just by hearing Dolores describe it."
Alexia said with a smile. Jenkins picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. He picked up the dishonest cat and wiped his mouth. Ignoring its anger, he asked curiously:
"So the special envoys of the two countries, have you seen Dolores' father today?"
"I've seen them all. I know you're curious about the order in which the king and the envoys from the two countries met, but in fact they were summoned at the same time. As for who was the first to talk to Salsi II, I'm afraid only the participants know the inside story... Did you know that they did not live in embassies in other countries, but were arranged to rest at the Canary Hotel, which is the closest to the Royal Palace, and the royal family paid out their wallets to go down the entire floor, making the two groups of people neighbors."
Alexia smiled broadly, and Jenkins laughed too.
"But I still don't understand, what kind of choice will Salsi II make in the end? Stand by? Help Fidiktri? Or help Cheslan? Oh, I don't think there should be a fourth possibility, except that he is crazy. In order to declare war on both countries at the same time."
"Judging from the current situation, Salsi II himself may not have made a decision. Not to mention, the nobles who came to Loen from various places because of the succession to the throne also have their own ideas. This is not a day Things that can be decided, the arrival of the special envoys of the two countries will definitely make Ruen more 'lively'."
