"What's this?"
The lens lay quietly on the soft soil. Of course, Jenkins would not rush to touch the unexplained extraordinary item, but observed it with the eyes of reality, and found that it had a yellow aura that was far weaker than that of the mud, but Should be able to be classified as a numbered item.
"Is this... an item dropped by killing an enemy?"
Carefully bent down to pick it up, first burned it with fire and found no response, then put it in front of the right eye. But nothing happened except to add a brown filter to the world in front of me.
"Well, since it's something like a lens, it probably inherited the ability to see through the essence of the soul from that thing just now..."
Thinking like this, he calls out his own monocle, and then overlaps the monocle and the glass lens. Sure enough, according to the principle of cannibalism, the stronger monocle absorbs the lens, but the appearance of the glasses has not changed except for a circle of fine and imperceptible patterns around the frame.
He put on the glasses and looked up at the treetops aside. The squirrel holding a pine cone looked at him curiously. The left eye has a normal vision, and the right eye sees a white phantom around the squirrel.
"Does this represent its soul? It looks normal, oh, squirrels are normal animals, and the soul is not special."
So he gave up watching the squirrel and turned to look at the unicorn. The little beast stood there obediently so that Jenkins could see it clearly.
In the field of vision wearing glasses, the phantom on the unicorn's body is more solid and agile than that of the squirrel, and there is a touch of golden light in the phantom that is particularly dazzling.
Jenkins speculates that the agile soul represents extraordinary talent, and the golden light probably means that it has experienced the washing of divinity.
"That makes sense, then..."
He suddenly turned his head to look at his cat, not giving it the slightest response. The cat, who was lowering its head and licking its paws, gave a "meow~" and looked at him curiously with widened amber eyes, as if looking at a funny mouse.
The phantom around the chocolate representing the existence of the soul is also very agile, but the sense of solidity is far weaker than that of the unicorn, but much better than that of the squirrel, which probably means that its strength is not very high. But other than that, the cat doesn't look abnormal, which fits the image of a "pet cat with mild supernatural abilities".
"Um… "
Jenkins pondered, looked away from the cat and took off his glasses. Seeing how long it was until lunch time, he also put away the ring on his hand, and then jumped on the unicorn's back and let it carry One person and one cat flew into the somewhat gloomy sky.
When I got back to my room, it was just in time for lunch. Although he is the holy son of the church, he does not have special treatment such as a private stove. Jenkins sat down to lunch with a group of people, and as the action was due in the afternoon, Miss Capet joined him.
It was expected that she would still look tranced, but in fact Miss Capet showed nothing unusual. She chatted with Jenkins about the afternoon with great interest, accepted the blessings from the people at the same table, and even joked about eating chocolate. If Jenkins hadn't stopped her, Chocolate would have scratched her hand.
After the meal, the two had a chance to be alone, and Jenkins asked Miss Capet what she was thinking now. She flicked her charming blond hair:
"I'm glad I still have loved ones in this world."
The sassy look made this devout believer more beautiful than ever.
"that's all?"
"What else do you think of me?"
Miss Capet asked. In just two hours, she really changed a lot:
"I understand what you mean, but I'm not the kind of person who likes to be tangled and cranky. Being able to know my origin and my kinship is a great thing for me. As for the church's concealment from me... Jenkins, have you ever blamed the Church of the Sages for hiding the truth?"
"of course not."
Jenkins said honestly that since it was requested by the body's father, Robert Williams, it was impossible for him to blame Robert.
"So I won't be angry because everyone hides this from me, and of course, I won't be happy either."
She shook her head, then looked at Jenkins seriously:
"Jenkins, I assure you, I have no idea about the throne."
To be honest, the priesthood of lies didn't respond at all.
"I don't have an idea about the throne either, at least for now, it's just that everyone seems to think I should."
Jenkins responded.
"I understand the perception, and even in my opinion, you're the perfect fit, so it's nice that we don't clash... Can you give me a hug? As a relative?"
asked Miss Capet.
Of course, Jenkins would not refuse, so he took the cat away from his lap, and then stood up generously and hugged Miss Capet. He had no distractions in his mind, and at the same time, he could vaguely feel the excitement and joy of the blond girl. It was a lonely one, and Jenkins was really happy for her.
"Of course, if Hathaway and Britney suddenly appear now, I just can't tell."
He thought in his heart, but it is impossible for Hathaway and Britney to appear here. The cat squatted on the small round table and yawned, squinting at the door. Jenkins and Miss Capet heard footsteps at the same time, so they separated immediately and sat back in their seats:
"Jenkins, new news!"
The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and the old man broke in with a worried expression on his face:
"The infected person who was supposed to be in the Mystic was discovered this morning, and the matter about him has been investigated."
Since Jenkins dropped the doll with the man at the church, after piecing together the details, the whole thing pretty much falls into place. The man who lost his memory was not absorbed by his memory, but his memory was blurred due to severe damage to his soul. Therefore, after proper treatment and reckless induction, the church also knew that he left the manor because of the Thanks to the comb I stored.
It's just that the comb that can completely absorb the [Blood Mosquito Curse] has now fallen into the hands of believers in lies. Although the church knew that the comb had strong side effects, it still wanted to study how it could cure the blood mosquito curse.
The followers of lies have once again become the focus of the incident, but the plan to see the countess in the afternoon will not be postponed again because of this, after all, even the countess can hardly trap those cursed with a magic lock.
Together with [Vampire Buster] who arrived in Beldylan this morning, Jenkins and Miss Capet will carry four numbered items into the Mystery Lock. Because of the characteristics of the mythos [Scarlet Dinner], this will further enhance the power of the cursed they will face.
The church guessed that the countess would give them convenience and let the two meet her from a relatively safe road, but they may still encounter danger on the way, so they must be prepared for this in advance.
Since this morning, the church has sent teams three times into the courtyard of the manor to kill the cursed people who are blocking the way. The interior of the manor buildings cannot be entered, and the countess does not allow them to approach. After leaving for a while, Jenkins and Miss Capet will probably pass through the courtyard safely like last time, but they will have to deal with things after entering the building.
The plans were well laid out, and both Jenkins and Miss Capet were proven church givers. But before leaving, the father was still very worried and told Jenkins to be careful and avoid Miss Capet, hinting very covertly that he could choose to give up his companion if he was in danger.
"Dad, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Of course you are not that kind of person, but if something happens to you, I will blame myself for not telling you."
Dad cracked a joke, then patted Jenkins on the shoulder, signifying his confidence in him.
Jenkins nodded, not forgetting to say:
"The combat team must be on standby at any time on the periphery to observe whether there is any change in the cursed people in the courtyard. Once we find that they have lost their ability to regenerate, it means we have succeeded."
He has a hair that can break a mythalk, which is much safer than attacking the countess in close quarters.
"Don't worry about this. There are at least 10 demigods and a combat team of more than 200 people near the manor. The Church of the Twelve Orthodox Gods understands what kind of disaster will happen if something goes wrong here. Once the mythical lock is broken, you just need to flee. That's good, the church will take care of the rest."
Dad said very calmly.
Soon it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Although the days in summer were very long, it was probably because the mystic near the manor affected the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, making it look like it was dusk.
After making the final preparations, Jenkins and Miss Capet stepped into the foggy door at the entrance of the manor together. What I saw in front of my eyes were strange blood-red plants and corpses strewn all over the place. The church's combat team had already "plowed the ground" and walked through the courtyard three times today. Jenkins and Miss Capet got in the way.
During her journey through the labyrinthine courtyard, Miss Capet also told Jenkins that she had risen a level today and was now a level four Boon. Because he has only just been promoted, the feedback from Mylock will not be very strong. She didn't tell the church about it, because the sudden promotion is very abnormal.
"I thought that only a wonderful understanding of the world and nature would make the gifter unreasonably promoted. I didn't expect that it would be possible to untie the knot."
Jenkins said slightly surprised.
"Man is a part of nature. To understand oneself thoroughly and to explore one's inner self is the same as understanding the world. I even gained a brand new ability because of this, the white foundation [spiritual light], which is quite rare ability."
