The good idea of killing two birds with one stone proposed by Sallot Stuart, while easily eliminating a competitor, may even have a positive impact on the relationship between the two countries in the future.
But the prince of the northern kingdom still thinks too simple, Jenkins is thinking now, he wants them all.
After the ball, everyone left separately. Dolores and Alexia would go together, and Miss Windsor also had her own servant to pick her up, so Jenkins didn't need to see her off.
In front of Alexia, Jenkins gave Dolores two rings [Red of Combat] and [Blue of Conjuration]. Fighting Red didn't improve him much. Although his physical fitness was not as good as that of Professor Burns, it couldn't be improved with just one ring. Because of the gender exclusivity of the two rings, the somewhat useful [Conjuration Blue] will also be given away. Considering that Dolores is the weakest among the ladies with extraordinary power, Jenkins gave her the ring .
In front of Alexia, I was worried that she might misunderstand.
"Oh, give me a ring~"
Alexia joked, and then saw Dolores solemnly put the [Blue of Magic] into her pocket, and then gave the [Red of Fighting] to Julia:
"You don't mind if I give the gift you gave to someone else?"
she asked.
"Of course I don't mind."
Jenkins shook his head. Julia became a benefactor a little earlier than Finny, which happened after a strange situation in Loen last winter. Now Julia is only a first-level benefactor, such a ring is very good for her.
"Then this is for you."
He thought for a while and put his hand in his pocket,
B-02-3-2526 [Air Bomb Ring] gave to Alexia:
"Everyone has a share."
"Sure enough, you still don't understand the lady's mind. Oh, Jenkins, I don't need this."
Pushing Jenkins' hand away, the short lady turned and boarded the carriage, turning to him again and saying:
"The ring I want is not this kind of ring."
Jenkins knew what she meant.
Tomorrow is Thursday, probably in the afternoon or night, Cheslan's ship will berth at Nolan Port, and Jenkins will attend the welcoming ceremony as a representative.
Because he didn't sleep all night last night, he planned to go to bed early tonight to recharge his energy. He has been very busy recently.
But this idea did not come true, because when I got home, I found a letter on the shoe cabinet. Only a few people had the keys to the Jenkins house, and even fewer would leave the letter.
After opening it, it was found that it was Hathaway's handwriting. After she asked Jenkins to go home, she immediately went to them. They would encounter some troubles. Jenkins had to pretend to be ignorant and rescue them.
"Didn't Hathaway take Britney to play at a friend's manor in the suburbs? So the so-called plan was to be a hero to save the beauty? Isn't it a bit old-fashioned?"
Thinking curiously, Jenkins burned the letter and left the house again, then flew to the outskirts of the city on a unicorn with the cat who was in a very good mood tonight.
After crossing the increasingly weird fog circle around the city, the manor is in sight. It was the property of Miss Lawrence's family. Miss Lawrence was one of the survivors of the serial murders at the villa during the winter snow mountain trip. She had a good relationship with Britney and Hathaway.
The unicorn landed in the grove outside the manor, the night was very dark, and the surrounding area was sparsely populated, and no one noticed them. After landing, Jenkins confirmed his location, looked at the manor with lights still on from a distance, and guessed what kind of tricks Hathaway would arrange in his heart.
"First confirm Hathaway's location."
He blinked and looked towards the manor, hoping to see Hathaway's aura. In fact, he did see it, but what he saw was the black aura that enveloped the entire manor, and the rich black was undoubtedly a strange thing.
"Playing so big?"
He was taken aback, but he also understood that even if Hathaway wanted to play a heroic rescue scene, she would never put Britney in danger. The current situation is definitely not a plan. I am afraid that the girls in the manor are really in trouble.
"This is really..."
Jenkins was used to encountering these things, and although the girls were involved this time, he didn't panic. He took out the silver dagger in the paper scabbard from his coat pocket, and then squatted down to carve the holy emblem of the sage on the soft forest soil. He took out another paper charm folded into a triangle, tore off a piece of paper from the notebook and hurriedly wrote the current situation, put the paper and the triangle charm together, and then threw it on the holy emblem of the sage.
"May the goddess bless~"
He called out softly, and as a flash of fire flashed across the holy emblem, the charms and the paper in the notebook disappeared.
This is a method commonly used by Dad to contact the church, but only high-level gifted persons above level five can learn and use it. After Jenkins announced that he had been promoted to the sixth level, he learned this ritual from his father during his stay in Beldyran, and this was the first time he used it.
"Okay, the church should arrive within twenty minutes to half an hour."
He stood up and walked forward, and soon came to the outside of the woods, looking at the quiet manor not far away:
"I'm not going to wait here."
He said to himself in his heart, knowing that this approach is irrational, but he can't just wait here.
Put the cat on your shoulders in your pocket, then bend down and sneak into the large field on the side of the manor. This place is used as a grazing field. In summer, the water and grass are fertile. When you bend down and take advantage of the cover of the moonlight, it is difficult to find someone Tried to sneak in.
Although Jenkins had never been to this manor before, he also understood that the appearance of the current manor was absolutely abnormal after getting close. The most obvious point is that gargoyles will never be placed as decorations on normal manor walls, and even if such strangely shaped decorations are placed, those gargoyles cannot be alive.
The term "gargoyle" is more common in ancient times, that is, the era when extraordinary power was the most powerful in the material world. In the current era, people refer to this alchemy creature as a "stone activated creature". Jenkins has seen detailed information on making such items in Kamel's alchemy materials, but after being contaminated with the power of strange things, these stone living creatures are completely different from normal alchemy products.
"What kind of monster could it be? I seem to have some clues."
Thinking in his heart, he changed from bending over to crawling on the ground, and the grass that was a lot higher than the ground completely covered him. Carefully taking the cat out of his chest and placing it in front of his eyes, Jenkins stretched out his fingers and scratched its chin, then pointed to the cat's throat.
"Meow~"
Chocolate yelled obediently, and the sound spread far in the silent night, but the short and fat living creatures standing on the wall and patrolling with stone spears didn't look at this side at all. There are weird smiles on their round faces, which are directly sculpted expressions that will accompany the entire life cycle of these life forms.
