Although the divine sons chosen by the gods are transcendent, at least during their stay in the material world, these people appear to be indistinguishable from mortals in appearance. There will be no body glow, no flowers growing on the road you walk, and no casual resurrection after death.
This made Jenkins a little disappointed. He himself had not even been a Holy Son for a year, so he didn't make good use of this power, so he thought that those holy sons who had been famous for a long time would show interesting traits, but he didn't expect these people to look very common.
Jenkins told Sigrid about his disappointment, and the beautiful girl with an olive branch crown covered her mouth and laughed;
"Actually, in my opinion, every Holy Son is unique enough. If you feel it with your heart, there are always unusual spiritual fluctuations in the positions where the Holy Sons exist. For example, that one..."
She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed quietly at the man in black robe standing at another table with his back to them. The evergreen forest in this season is a bit hot even at night, and it is definitely not wise to wear a robe:
"We can all feel that he is like a tombstone."
This is the Holy Son of Death, and Jenkins can also feel what Sigrid said, so he asked with interest:
"So what do you think I am?"
Sigrid blushed a bit, then suddenly tiptoed and gently raised her nose in front of Jenkins' face:
"Big tree."
"Is it just a big tree? I am the holy son of a sage. I thought you would say that I am like a book."
he joked.
"No, you don't look like a book at all."
Sigrid shook her head, tilted her head and thought for a moment:
"Compared to a book, you are more like... an indescribable light."
"What?"
Jenkins didn't get it.
"Yes, a light that contains everything. Strange, twisted, and different from all the lights in the world."
She said it seriously, it didn't look like she was joking at all.
It was the first time for the Holy Sons who came from afar to come to this forest. They probably saw the extraordinaryness of the giant tree behind them, so they sighed during the conversation. If they didn’t know that the heir of the World Tree was in front of them , They will definitely think that the lie believer who caused this forest to appear is the darling loved by the world tree.
The Holy Sons already knew about the World Tree seedlings, and this matter was not kept secret. After all, Jenkins is now the common hope of the Orthodox Church. Sigrid believes that this is also the reason why the other holy sons are particularly respectful to Jenkins, and she does not think of other reasons.
This banquet is not only a welcome ceremony for the Sons of Aliens, but also the first meeting between Jenkins and Sigrid after Dragon Soul. In the middle of the banquet, Jenkins once again proposed to invite her to be a guest at home, but Mary Williams had written to urge her many times. Sigrid had promised this in the past, but never had the time.
"Maybe next week, I'm going to get ready..."
She was still a little nervous, nervous to see her only relatives in this world. Although the members of the William family were very enthusiastic, Sigrid still resisted this matter.
But when Jenkins asked again, she made up her mind:
"Do I need to bring any presents? I've never visited relatives before."
She asked with some embarrassment, thinking about her meager assets, and the answer Jenkins gave was of course red wine.
Now that gifts are on the topic, Sigrid asks Jenkins what he needs for his birthday. Jenkins was taken aback, not expecting his distant cousin to know his birthday.
"I asked the Sage Church."
Goldilocks winked at Jenkins:
"This is the first time I celebrate a relative's birthday, you must accept my gift."
The representative gifts that the Church of Nature can offer are of course all kinds of exotic plants, and Sigrid plans to give similar things.
And now that plants are on the topic, the distant Williamette relative had an interesting conversation with Jenkins. That was this afternoon, at the Canary Auction House in the city, a big businessman from other places wanted to sell two pots of tulips he had collected for 100 pounds.
Such a high price is of course a failed bid. Even if the colors and petal patterns of the two pots of tulips are strange, people will not be so stupid as to buy two pots of ornamental flowers at such a high price.
"I think he is probably really short of money, that's why he offered such a price."
Sigrid said jokingly, and then looked forward to it very much:
"But I heard from my acquaintances that the two potted flowers are really beautiful. I really want to see what kind of plants they are. Although 100 pounds is a bit exaggerated, 10 pounds should be sold, right?"
With a smile on his face, Jenkins laughed at the businessman's greed.
This is the first step. Of course, you can't sell it at a very high price, but at least let people understand the fact that "tulips can be very expensive and appear in the auction house publicly". It seems that Dolores The action with Miss Windsor is really fast, and his plan can be finished in about a month or two.
Now that so many clergymen and benefactors of the church gather in this city, the church also needs to find something to do for them. It is impossible for these precious talents to exercise in the forest all day long.
It just so happens that Nolan urgently needs manpower to maintain law and order, and frequent abnormal incidents have exhausted the local church's combat team. As for ordinary people, the clergy also have their own uses. The frequent accidents in Nolan in the past six months have made the local residents restless. The dispersal of priests with rich missionary experience in the city will benefit Nolan's peace and stability.
The Church of the Sages intends to take advantage of this period of time to expand the size of the night school with sufficient manpower. The Church of Nature originally planned to stay in the Evergreen Forest, but was rejected by the five local churches, so their focus shifted to the city. Sigrid will go to sell flowers with friends from the church tomorrow.
"Are you kidding me?"
"What's the joke? Isn't this a very common thing? When we were young, the nuns and nuns of the church would take us to the street to sell flowers, and the money we got was our pocket money."
Speaking of her childhood, Sigrid smiled slightly with her lips curled up. Jenkins calculated in his mind whether this would affect his plans, but on second thought, this might be a good thing.
"The flower girl, the flower girl~"
He murmured to himself, and then saw his cat approaching from the edge of the glade.
"Your cat is back."
Sigrid reminded that Chocolate was annoyed by a rabbit that always wanted to run to Jenkins' feet, and chased the rabbit into the forest. Seeing it come back leisurely now, it is obvious that it has won the battle with the rabbit.
Jenkins was in a good mood, so he wanted to play a joke with his cat. While the chocolate was still walking towards this side, he turned around and took three fruit bowls on the table and put them on the table, and then took another grape.
"Look at the chocolate."
After the cat came over, Jenkins picked up the soft cat, let it look at the three upside-down bowls on the table, and then put a tempting grape under one of them in front of it.
When Sigrid covered her mouth and laughed, Jenkins changed the order of the three bowls with his hand, and then said to the cat:
"Guess which bowl has fruit under it? If you guess right, I'll give it to you."
Cat feels insulted by Jenkins, but the grapes are still delicious. It stretched out its claws to give the answer, and Jenkins immediately lifted the bowl, and there was indeed a grape, after all, his hand speed just now was not very fast.
"It's yours."
He happily rubbed Chocolate's little head, and even more happily opened the bowl on the left. Underneath was a whole bunch of grapes, which were put in before Chocolate came over.
"Meow~"
The satisfied grin froze on the cat's face, and Jenkins shielded his face as he "wrestled" with the cat, which sprang up to whip him with its tail.
The matter of [World Tree Seedlings] has been known to other churches because of the Night Manor, but on this night, no one mentioned it to Jenkins.
Most of the conversations of the Sons were related to the legend of Nolan and the local security. Although these people did not know Jenkins before, they could find some common topics. As for other priests who came to visit, they only talked about religion, not legends.
Sigrid looked very happy. Tonight, she put a third of her World Tree seed on her neck, and didn't notice that Jenkins looked at her neck repeatedly.
"When she comes home as a guest, I will take the third of the seeds."
Jenkins said in his heart, looking away quietly. But then a very important thing came to mind, and while Sigrid turned her head, she put on her monocle and looked at her chest.
A cluster of green flames burned quietly in her chest.
"Um… "
Because he observed other heirs to the throne at the banquet, and even observed Queen Isabella, but he did not see [Soul of the Tree], so Jenkins was prepared for such a result in advance. Sigrid Capet is not only a descendant of the royal family, but also a benefactor of the Church of Nature. She is the real owner of the tree soul, which is not beyond Jenkins' expectations.
"But it's troublesome. I actually want to take two important things from her at once."
Jenkins thought to himself, but he had nothing to compensate the blonde girl, he didn't like to take advantage of others for nothing.
"Furthermore, among the royal family members of Hampavo Kingdom and Fidetictli Kingdom, there are people who carry king souls. Dragon souls are outside the world, and I obtained them after being brought by a giant dragon. Dark souls are still in Windsor Miss was conceived there, so there must be no king soul in the royal family of the Cheslan Kingdom... Is this fate hinting at something... "
PS: It's a transitional chapter recently, judging from the interim posts, it seems that some people feel bored. But these are necessary preparations and details, and I can't skip directly to the end, please forgive me.
