In this somewhat flustered early morning, the Duke's assassination turned into unnoticed news. The news about the possible outbreak of a plague like Nolan's in the city spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout Beldyland.
But the problem is that the reason why Nolan's great plague sounds terrible is because the plague there refers to the corpse plague caused by the skull sword, and the winter and spring flu caused by Jenkins only appeared at the same time. But the citizens of Beldyland didn't think so. They instinctively regarded the two completely different infectious diseases that happened in Nolan as one, and believed very much that the same thing would happen to Beldyland soon.
Although there are not a few people who remain rational, such things as "three people become tigers" must be true as long as there are many people. In this way, this afternoon, because of the martial law in the city, Jenkins could not go out of the city, and could only spend time with the girls at the Rosalia Hotel.
He was standing alone in Britney's room on the second floor, looking at the street from the window, and saw groups of men in black wearing crow's mouth masks carrying huge metal cans, which were connected to the nozzles in their hands, Disinfectants of unknown composition are being sprayed along the empty streets.
"Is it too exaggerated?"
That's overkill from Jenkins' perspective, but not too much in the eyes of the church and kingdom. This kind of flu broke out once, and at the end of the era, all kinds of catastrophes happened frequently. The signs of the plague that are now showing are worthy of their caution.
"Should I go to the church and explain this matter?"
But in this matter, after all, he played the disgraceful role of bewitching others to assassinate, and it is difficult to explain the method of bewitching others. In addition, it is easy to link him with the culprit that caused Nolan's flu. Although Jenkins feels guilty, he is not inclined to explain this to the church.
Chocolate grabbed Jenkins' shoulder and looked down, his two eyes looked at all this with interest. Suddenly hearing footsteps, the two small ears shook, and then meowed to remind Jenkins.
Turning around, he saw that Hathaway brought the hotel servants with tea, the servants left quickly, and the red-haired girl stood at the window with Jenkins.
"Where's Britney?"
Jenkins asked.
"Down there with friends who were all lamenting they couldn't get out of town to see the lavender fields."
Although the citizens were not prohibited from walking on the street, the city hall prohibited people from going out of the city, and these noble ladies from Nolan also knew how terrible the plague similar to Nolan was, so they consciously stayed in the hotel and did not go out.
"It's a pity. I originally planned to go to Beldylan with Dolores and Alexia today."
Jenkins said regretfully.
"Will you say this in front of me?"
The red-haired girl asked with a smile, she didn't look angry, but Jenkins still consciously stopped the topic.
Now that Jenkins' "friends" in the Northland have all arrived in the local area, Hathaway plans to arrange her own plan as soon as possible to let Britney know about Jenkins' "rich and colorful" emotional life. She told Jenkins to relax and just wait, and said in a deliberately resentful tone that she was like the heroine in a pulp knight novel, who was actively helping her man to win the favor of other women.
Jenkins kept his mouth shut, knowing it was inappropriate to say anything at this time.
He planned to stay in the hotel until the evening, and then go to see his father. No matter whether his father was there or not, he would go to the Holy See to ask about the current situation. In fact, he should have gone during the day, but this morning the church priest sent a message, asking Jenkins to stay in a crowded place as much as possible during the day, presumably because he discovered something strange about the assassinated Duke and the assassin, so let Jenkins waited on the sidelines instead of going directly to the church for protection.
"Are you watching "The Legend of Knight Detective"?"
Jenkins was thinking about things, and Hathaway saw the novel turned upside down on the desk beside him.
"Detective Knight" is the best-selling and most influential popular knight novel in recent years. Although it contains some unsightly plots, but adhering to the view that a good story must be true, few people will accuse the book of similar bridges.
Not only young men like the original owner Jenkins, the influence of this book has penetrated into every corner of society, and it is a novel worthy of the name enough to influence an era. It is conceivable that after a few years, it will definitely be dubbed a "masterpiece" and a "legend".
"I just saw this book on the bookshelf in the room. Speaking of which, this hotel is really good, and it will take the initiative to provide novels in the guest's room."
"Isn't that the way it is now?"
She flipped through the passage that Jenkins had just seen, and found that the page was a short poem.
""waiting"?"
Hathaway laughed:
"This poem is really famous. I like the line [I will bring a small cardboard box and put it in front of your eyes] very much. Although it is straightforward and tasteless, it is unexpectedly... moving."
"Meow~"
Chocolate nodded with her eyes closed.
"Many books will quote this poem. Specifically, almost every chivalrous novel that talks about love will quote this poem in an arty way."
Jenkins casually commented, still thinking about the plague, he hoped to find a suitable way to explain it clearly, otherwise it would be hard to say how long Beldyran would be under martial law.
"I heard that the author of "The Legend of the Detective Knight" will come with Cheslan's visiting group this time."
"Um?"
Jenkins hadn't heard about it.
"Yes, I heard about it from a friend the other day. It's exciting, this is a real great writer... sorry, Jenkins, I didn't mean you..."
Hathaway immediately realized the ambiguity in her words.
"It doesn't matter."
Jenkins didn't care, he knew his book was plagiarized in part from another world, and he never really considered himself a brilliant writer.
"Did you know that the author of the Knight Detective was a pretty young girl?"
Hathaway is still talking about it.
"I know it's a woman."
Jenkins said that this was information dug from the memory of the original owner.
"And there is a blood relationship with the royal family, a very weak blood relationship."
The red-haired girl added.
"I don't know that."
"Perhaps the king of Cheslan also joined the delegation because he knew that Fidetictli had found a young writer, and this young writer happened to be a descendant of the royal family, so the king of the southern kingdom wanted to prove himself The young people in the family are not bad either."
Hathaway joked.
"If so, I'd be somewhat interested in meeting that lady. She's written a really good book, maybe I should ask her for an autograph."
Jenkins replied, staring at the street below, his eyes resting for a long time on the men in black with crow's mouth masks.
PS: Since the story begins in Nolan, it also ends in Nolan, so this volume was originally arranged to deal with some things in Beldyland, and then return to Nolan to face the final story.
Of course, Nolan still has a lot of things to deal with, such as the throne, such as the Three Kings talks, such as the new agreement of the Twelve Church, such as the church and the meeting of the believers of lies, such as Hathaway's "plan", such as Phinney and the little angels , such as Papa's Curse, such as Strange Tobacco, such as the Difference Engine, such as Mr. Hood's Party... So there is quite a lot of content in this volume.
Ask for everything at the end of the month.
