"Are you sure these bombs were retired from the army and not dug up from shipwrecked ships?"
Jenkins pushed aside the water plant on the top of the box, and took out the metal bottle from the soaked wooden box. He shook the thing in his hands indifferently, not worried that it would explode.
"Even the latest model of steam bombs can't be used with such serious water ingress, not to mention that this is..."
He glanced at the production date and serial number engraved on the wooden handle:
"Not to mention that it was made thirty years ago, you know how backward the technology of that era is..."
"Needless to say, my goods have been exchanged."
She said through gritted teeth, and the way she gasped made Jenkins worry that she would suddenly faint. But for this day, Miss Magic has been preparing for half a year since last autumn, and the plan will definitely not stop because of such a small accident.
"Do you have a channel where you can contact the steam bomb spot?"
she asked Jenkins suddenly.
"How do you think I have channels?"
Jenkins pinned the bomb in his hand to his waist, intending to take it back as a souvenir. This is an old antique that should be placed in a museum. Although it cannot be used, it may be collected by customers with special hobbies in Papa's antique shop. Therefore, Miss Magic bought a batch of antiques at the price of arms, which is actually a profit.
"You must have a way, right?"
She asked persistently, and then did not give Jenkins a chance to refute:
"After today's matter is over, regardless of whether I got the heart of the ocean or not, I can give you a clue about the gift. At the end of last summer, there was actually a gift among the batch of contraband smuggled from overseas. It’s just that because of an accidental fire, it was mixed with other antiques and sold somewhere. I have clues, and only I have clues.” (Note)
She stared into Jenkins' eyes, and the determination and fire in those eyes scared him a little.
"I do have access, but I can't get much."
"It doesn't matter, as much as you want, I will buy it at double the price on the black market."
"No, just tell me the clue when it's done."
Dolores had met Nolan's subordinate Jenkins before, and they also helped Jenkins a lot in the skull sword incident. Jenkins was so impressed by the firepower that the group had shown against the Duke of Antak that he knew he could get enough bombs from them.
Returning to Loen first, I met Dolores who was talking to the Deputy Minister of Finance, Earl Dirac, in the study, explained the situation and obtained the sapphire ring representing her identity again. After returning to Nolan, he rushed to the small building of [Shopal Freight Company] (Chapter 891) without stopping, and then showed the ring in front of the familiar middle-aged receptionist.
"What do you need? Who are you going to kill this time?"
After confirming the authenticity of the ring and hearing from Jenkins' words about the scuffle under the clock tower last time, he immediately showed great enthusiasm.
"I don't want to kill people, I just want a batch of high-yield steam bombs. I want it now, and I'm in a hurry."
"how much do you need?"
"It's possible to make a big enough mess without actually causing a lot of damage."
Jenkins also knew that he had made a very difficult request, but he didn't expect the other party to nod to express his understanding, and then he began to pass the information skillfully.
Ten minutes later, the goods were ready, and the man who worked as a receptionist at the freight company asked Jenkins where they should be shipped.
"Is the dock area ok? It's being blocked today. If it's difficult, I can figure it out myself."
His way is to use unicorn airdrops, but it is very dangerous to do so.
"Can you tell me the specific address? Can it be delivered to the location to be checked... Oh, yes, I know that place, and it can be delivered. This is really a very good location. It happens to be at the weakest point around the celebration. It’s not far or near. We originally wanted to rent the nearby warehouse, but someone else rented it a step too late, and it turned out to be you.”
The man exclaimed.
"It's not me, it's my friend... Please wait, do you want to rent it too?"
Jenkins reacted to the information revealed in this sentence, and looked at the other party suspiciously:
"If it's convenient, can you tell me what you want to do?"
"Since you hold this ring, you are naturally entitled to know everything."
Speaking of which, the receptionist approached Jenkins mysteriously, and whispered in his ear:
"Actually, we are not the only ones who want to get involved in the celebration of the return of the navy. We don't want to disrupt Nolan's event. We just heard that the first batch of returning main fleets, there are Some domestic spies who have been captured, we are trying to see if they can be rescued."
"This reason is plausible. In other words, other forces also have their own goals?"
Jenkins asked.
"Yes, in fact, if it is not necessary, I would advise you to stay away from the celebration here. No one knows what will happen this time. After all, there are too many people involved, and it is hard to say whether there will be any additional changes."
The batch of steam bombs was quickly transported to the warehouse rented by Miss Magic. The latter regained the excitement when he saw her early in the morning, and kept praising Jenkins for his quick action.
Jenkins also asked if she knew who would want to have a hand in the celebration. Miss Magic told Jenkins that she didn't care, because according to the information she got from Miss Windsor, there were too many people involved in this matter, and it was meaningless to care about anyone.
"We just have to do our own thing, and we don't get too involved in the festivities, it's mostly on the sidelines."
Even though Fermixiu was a lunatic most of the time, he was not a rampant reckless man, otherwise he would not have been hunted down for so many years. He will participate in the whole process of the pirates' actions, but he will not directly enter the celebration area to do it, and the time when his subordinates carry out activities is the time selected by Miss Magic.
In order to find a good view, Jenkins and Miss Magic climbed to the top of the Tower Bridge under restoration when the crowd gradually poured into the pier at more than eight o'clock. The view here is extremely wide, not only the pier that is preparing for the celebration can be seen at a glance, but even most of the city and the wide sea level.
PS: This refers to the fire in the early stage of the book, when Dad took Jenkins to see the goods for the first time.
