"It's such a pity, I've never seen such a beautiful gem."
With that said, Dolores carefully handed the Heart of the Ocean back to Jenkins. Jenkins took it, weighed it in his hand, and thought about what he should get from Miss Magic.
The ladies of Ruen are also very concerned about what happened in Nolan yesterday. Although so far no one has been able to explain exactly what happened on the beach on Wednesday morning, but Jenkins thinks he knows more than most people, so he can also publish more at the breakfast table. view.
The focus of Alexia's concern is that members of the [Scent Appreciation Committee] reappeared yesterday, and even the hidden [Gear Craftsman's Guild] showed up again; while Dolores is more concerned about this matter The impact on the Kingdom of Fidgetli, although it did not cause too many casualties in the end, and the important members of the navy were all safe and sound, but when such a thing happened when they returned from victory, domestic and foreign turmoil would cause unfavorable effects on the ongoing war. The necessary waves.
Because of the series of chain reactions generated by this incident, Jenkins has not yet been affected. His main task on this day was to go back to Nolan and meet Miss Magic once.
When I arrived at Nolan, I looked out of my window and saw that the standing glaciers had disappeared. So before going to see Miss Magic, Jenkins made a detour to the pier to see what was going on.
He happened to pass by a carriage pulling a load of dead bodies at the intersection of the street, and before he reached the pier area, he saw uniformed policemen had already blocked the intersection. But looking from afar, the wharf, which was still in the ocean yesterday, has returned to calm. Apart from the mess, the ground is full of mud, scallops and various fish.
This is good news. The receding seawater at least means that the place will soon return to its original state. It will take time, it will take time to heal the wounds in people's hearts, and a better way is to find another target to divert people's attention.
This target is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Cheslan. When Jenkins walked on the foggy streets of Nolan, he was holding a copy of this morning's daily newspaper in his hand. Newspaper headlines reported yesterday morning's accident. Although no specific casualties were mentioned, it was certainly not a small number.
The storm brought by Fermitheus obscured some of the visions that occurred later, so the newspapers were able to blame most of the events on the pirates and another unknown force.
According to commentators, the pirates joined forces with Cheslan's spies to carry out the operation, which caused a large number of civilian casualties. The lines in the news are full of anger and reprimands against neighboring countries, and Jenkins believes that newspapers in other parts of the kingdom will also have news on similar themes.
He didn't want to comment on this. The reasons for yesterday's accident were complicated. If someone was really to be held responsible, the Kingdom's military would also be responsible for a large part of it. This is destined to be a muddled account. The truth of history has never been those in newspapers and textbooks. Jenkins understands this better than most people in this world.
When I saw Miss Magic at the bar at the entrance of the black market, she was much more haggard than yesterday. Jenkins put the chocolate on the table, pulled the chair opposite Miss Magic and sat down, and found that she was holding a glass of beer.
"As a friend, I would like to advise you not to drink alcohol in the morning, it is very bad for the stomach... I noticed that this is the first time I have seen you touch alcohol, I thought that people like you who are keen to explore the mysterious world would be quite Self-disciplined not to drink."
"A teetotaler? Mr. Candle, I don't think anyone can do that."
"No, I can do it."
He said, trying to control his expression not to be too complacent, he thinks this is one of the few advantages he can boast about.
"Are you allergic to alcohol... Forget it, this topic should not be discussed now. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, and I don't know what will happen in the end. After we parted, Mr. Bailing and I... Well, Miss Bailing, Anyway, you have already seen her face. Together with Miss Bailing, I sent the officer and the prisoner to the nearest Ocean Temple. We wanted to go back to find you, but at that time, the church’s large forces had blocked the pier, and we all I am very worried that you will be caught by the church."
"Why did the church arrest me? I haven't done anything bad. Please don't look at me like this. It will make me doubt myself."
Hearing what Jenkins said, Miss Magic finally showed some forced smiles. She called the waiter who came to the bar to order Jenkins' food. It was still early in the morning, when the bar had the least number of guests of the day.
"I've already eaten breakfast, okay, then I want a glass of juice, anything is fine, if there are ice cubes, please add some."
"Meow~"
Even if Empathy didn't work on chocolate, Jenkins knew what it meant.
"Two glasses of juice, I'll buy one of them, my cat will use it later."
He said this, and after the waiter left, he continued to say to Miss Magic:
"You should know about Fermisio's death, right?"
"There was no curfew last night, and the church didn't make any big moves. I guessed that he was dead... I understand what you mean, even if I didn't get the heart of the ocean, I will tell you the clues about the gift. This is... "
"No, that's not what I meant."
Jenkins shook his head, tapped his fingers on the table and lowered his entire right arm onto the table, right palm up. As the deep blue surged in the palm of his hand, a huge sea-blue heart-shaped gemstone appeared in his hand.
"I mean, even though Fermisio is dead, I got this."
"Put it away! This is a bar!"
Miss Magic was taken aback, and then warned in a low voice at a rapid speed.
"Yes, you should be more careful."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped the gem in the handkerchief, and pushed it to the other party.
"What does it mean?"
the woman asked.
"Only 24 hours ago, in this bar, you were still talking to me about your plan after you got it. Although the plan had some accidents, I think it was a success."
"How did you get it from the Church... are you really going to give it to me?"
"It's not for you, it's for you according to the agreement. You don't plan to take it for nothing, do you?"
It can be seen that Miss Magic is very moved. As for whether she was moved by Jenkins' behavior, or moved herself to finally get the Heart of the Ocean, or both, it is not something Jenkins can guess.
