"Do you need me to introduce you? I have many unmarried friends, all of whom are qualified ladies, and some of them are even your book fans. How about it, do you want to think about it? I heard from my father that you were praised for "Strange Stories" Unanimous praise from the writers and critics of the Kingdom, those old gentlemen don’t praise others easily... Readers also praised you as the best storyteller in recent years. Mr. Baron, why don’t you consider your own marriage issues? A qualified gentleman should start a family as soon as possible."
She said with a smile, Jenkins nodded ignorantly, feeling like he was facing Mary Williams again.
Without waiting for Jenkins to object, she continued:
"That's it, next week's weekend, right here, in the dinner hall on the first floor, I will hold a small dance party and invite friends to come. My father does not allow me to leave here, so this is also after the catastrophe It's everyone's first gathering, I don't know if the newly promoted Mr. Baron can come."
"I… "
"That would be great, see you on Saturday evening!"
The blond girl smiled and bent down, bowed like a man, and then smiled at the chocolate lying on her stomach.
Hathaway, who walked in with the maid, happened to see this scene, and she subconsciously looked at Jenkins with doubts.
Then Miss Michael squinted at Jenkins.
"This scene is a bit strange."
Jenkins lowered his head and pretended to be arranging his clothes, knowing that he was really the same Jenkins who was not good at dealing with women.
I harassed Mademoiselle Michel for a while. She was perfectly healthy, and she did not seem to have been contaminated by the devil's profane knowledge at all. It seems that Jenkins' [Profane Production] is really the nemesis of that weird pollution.
Hathaway also found out about the invitation to the ball later, she was a little upset, but she didn't show it, but Jenkins somehow understood it.
With this inexplicable feeling, he bid farewell to the two noble girls, declined their offer to send each other off, and closed the door behind him.
"What are you going to do, Blaney? Mr. Williamette is a friend of mine."
The red-haired girl was a little angry, but her tone was still soft.
"Help him introduce his marriage partner. Didn't Oliver's father also mention this to us?"
The blond girl replied.
Miss Hesha thought about it, and with Jenkins' weird personality, if no one helped him, maybe he would really become a thirty-year-old bachelor living alone, so she became happy.
"If so, great. Mr. Williamette will thank us later."
This time, there was one more person who felt inexplicable.
"Not that kind of relationship?"
(Dividing line)
Jenkins, who walked out of the ward, was immediately stopped by the same short lady.
"Sir, I'm here to pay back the money!"
She held out her hands, a copper coin and a crumpled fivep note.
"Oh, so fast? But I gave you fivepence straight away."
"This is interest. I must pay interest for borrowing money, otherwise it will not be a fair transaction! According to the current interest rate of Mr. Traveler's bank, um, just add one and make it a penny!"
"I can't beat her."
Jenkins admitted in his heart that he could easily be beaten by the lady in front of him, so he took 6 pence.
"Don't count so carefully."
"That can't be done. Everything in this world can be calculated clearly, and there must be no mistakes!"
While talking, the girl grabbed the shoulder strap of the yellow satchel, waved to Jenkins, and ran down the stairs again, stepping on her small leather shoes.
"Generally, people who say this will regret it later."
He said the second half of the sentence that he didn't finish just now, shrugged, and was about to leave with the chocolate in his arms.
He put a hand on his shoulder, and when he looked back, it was actually Captain Bincy.
"You are actually here!"
"That's what I want to say."
Jenkins replied helplessly, it seems that he should be cautious when going out.
The two walked side by side to the oil painting of a knight riding a horse in front of the stairs.
"Just when I wanted to find you, you showed up. This is the sage's instruction!"
"I'm here to visit a friend, forget it, what's the matter?"
"treat."
It can only be the reason.
The cause of the incident was the demon incident. The loot after killing the demon was not only the candle and the dagger left by Jenkins, but also something more dangerous.
"B-02-3-8810, Longevity Spear at a Slight Price."
He took Jenkins to the attic on the top floor of the hospital. Apart from Smith, the keeper of the secret, there were several strangers standing here, as well as a young man who was tied up in a hospital bed and unconscious.
"This is a friend of [all things and nature]."
Captain Bincy winked at Jenkins.
"B-02-3-8810 is the [Transcendence] lost by the Church of All Things. After knowing that it was found, a repurchase agreement has been reached. This time is the final confirmation of the function of this item, whether it is the same as in the records."
That's why the location is chosen here. The Spirit of All Things doesn't have a church in the local area, but this hospital should be regarded as a local stronghold.
In cities without [Church of Knowledge and Books], some bookstores also serve the same purpose. It’s just that some are public, like this hospital, and some are hidden, like the one in [Sun and Justice Church].
"The function of this item is just as the name suggests. It pierces the human heart with a spear. After it is pulled out, the target human will have a lifespan of five years and eight months, but will permanently lose the sense of taste, smell, hearing, and vision. Two of them, and a human can only use it once."
The one who opened the mouth to explain was an old man with the holy emblem of the Spirit of All Things painted on his chest. His face is old, and the wrinkles on his face are like thousands of ravines washed out by the river. Jenkins heard from his father that the bestower of their church, the most primitive way to accumulate spirit is to perceive all things in nature.
Different from the original method used by the ancient benefactors, the current way of feeling is to apply a "special" oil on the body, and then sit in the wilderness.
The overly old face may have something to do with it.
"What happens the second time?"
Jenkins asked curiously, and the old man explained patiently: "Direct death, the most thorough death, a death that cannot be saved by any ability, ritual, or item."
Jenkins nodded knowingly.
The most malicious thing about this item is that after the spear is pulled out, the damage to the heart will not be automatically repaired. In other words, if you don't prepare healing methods in advance, even if you increase your lifespan, you will die of hemorrhage in a few seconds.
PS: The update is over, two updates a day will resume, and the time for the next update is to be determined. I am already the third in the Shuke monthly update list.
