In order to prevent the secrets of the Night Manor from being leaked and give the disaster beasts a chance to escape, the rules of the manor stipulate that people who leave the manor will lose most of their memories.
But those memories are related to the terrain and rules in the manor, and other memories will not be missing, which means that Britney still remembers what Jenkins did.
As the holder of the [Seedling of the World Tree], as the only candidate for the savior in the Church of the Twelve Orthodox Gods, he should solve the problem with Miss Bevanna tonight. But Miss Bevanna saw that Jenkins was nervous about "friend", so she let him go back first. As for the demigods of other churches, they are also unwilling to talk about the savior with the Holy Son. After all, even pagans must give the Holy Son of the righteous God the necessary respect.
So the matter of the [World Tree Seedlings] was left alone again. After confirming that the Church of the Sages had indeed hidden a great hole card, the other eleven churches would make changes in their strategies for the next negotiations.
It can be expected that church combat troops and mobilized demigods from all over the world will gather towards Nolan at a faster speed. After all, there is no savior as a hole card, and the strength of the church itself can only be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiation.
This negotiation is like the [Great Tower Agreement] at the end of the last era, and it will have an impact on the next few thousand years.
For the sake of Jenkins, Hathaway and Britney's friends were not embarrassed, but because they participated in such a big event, they had to sign a non-disclosure agreement and accept the church ceremony to ensure that tonight's matter would not be taken lightly. It was leaked out, and although so many people died in the Lawrence family's manor, most of them were servants. The real family member was only Miss Lawrence here tonight, which made the follow-up work a lot easier.
Miss Lawrence and the others were forced to stay by the church, and they will be placed in a unified place next. As for Hathaway and Britney, no one dared to make things difficult. Jenkins just greeted the old nuns who were guarding them in the camp formed by the carriage, and left with them.
He looked up at the hills in the distance. Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, the dots of light representing Dolores and Alexia were still there. After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand over there, pointing in the direction of his home. He believed that Alexia would see it and come here with Dolores.
"Go to my house first."
He said to the blond and red-haired girls behind him, both of them nodded silently, Briney had something on her mind, and Hathaway was just pretending.
The church's team will also conduct a more thorough inspection of the Lawrence family's estate, but they will also be assigned to escort the three of Jenkins back to St. George's Avenue. The carriage stopped at the intersection, and the three walked towards Jenkins' house in silence. Take out the key to open the door and invite the two ladies to come in. After turning on the gas lamp on the wall, the quiet home looks so warm, as if stepping here is stepping into the most unbreakable shelter.
After sitting on the sofa, the three of them let out a long breath at the same time, vomiting out all the boredom, sorrow and fear of the night. He took out Alexia's pocket watch and glanced at it. It was already one o'clock in the morning. Knowing that Britney was not sleepy, Jenkins got up and went to the kitchen to get some hot tea and snacks, and also made some chocolate desserts along the way.
"I'll go find you after the dance today."
Only then did he speak, his voice was a little hoarse due to fatigue:
"Nolan has been in a bit of a mess recently. I think in the future, if it is not necessary, don't run around. To be safe...you might as well live in my house. My house is very big. It's usually just me and chocolate, and it seems a bit null**."
Hathaway thought about dozens of things Jenkins might say, but this possibility was the only one she didn't think of. She looked up at the young writer in shock, suspecting that he had been dropped in the manor.
Jenkins looked at Britney, who was still wearing the thin pajamas, her blond hair hanging from her ears, looking very cute.
"so… "
The blond girl didn't pay attention to Jenkins' invitation, or said she didn't object. She looked up into Jenkins' eyes:
"From the beginning… "
"Yes, when I met you, you were the bestowers of the church. Oh, this term represents users of supernatural abilities, and in older times they were called wizards, magicians or others."
"Why… "
Before she could finish asking, Jenkins continued:
"Because this world is more dangerous than you think. Knowing about the extraordinary and using the extraordinary will attract the extraordinary. These powers are not free. Even if you use the power of the gods, you must be careful not to be caught by the power characteristics that are beyond human beings." Crazy. Not to mention the terrifying evil gods wandering outside the world, the evil things sealed in the subspace, the strange things wandering in the material world, or the sins that accumulate all the time."
He said slowly, and finally concluded:
"Not everyone is suitable for transcendence. In fact, I am just a lucky one. For most people, especially those who are gifted by non-orthodox churches, supernatural power is the road of no return."
This is absolutely true. Most of the gifters existing in the material world come from church forces, whether it is the church of orthodox gods or the church of false gods. Jenkins has only known a few people who have become bestowers by virtue of their own talent or perseverance, or because of a joke of fate.
Seen through a monocle fused with a lens, there is no question that Britney has no gift of The Giver.
"The point of no return?"
Britney questioned.
"Compared with the whole world, the scope of human cognition is like a small island called ignorance in a dark ocean. This ocean is vast and contains infinite secrets. Those crazy, profane and twisted secrets, those Sacredness, fanaticism, and the deepest secrets are beyond the comprehension and cognition of human beings. Knowledge has weight, and not everyone can bear this weight, I... just a lucky one."
He got up and sat next to Britney, who squirmed but didn't object.
"I know it's wrong to keep it from you, and I don't want to say that it's for your own good."
He weaved something that sounded as good as he could, and after thinking about it, he put his arms around Britney, and Goldilocks rested her head on Jenkins' shoulder.
"Now that I know it today, I don't want to continue to hide it. You can ask, and I will tell you as long as I can tell you, but I must not tell others about tonight's conversation."
"Of course I know."
She replied softly, but she wasn't that angry. Everything that happened in Night Manor is enough to prove how terrifying and weird the extraordinary world is. As far as Britney is concerned, maybe never looking there is the best choice.
