The weak king didn't give Jenkins a chance to speak, and directly gave the conditions:
"I can tell you very seriously that I will put forward the idea of a formal truce between the two countries at the Three Kings' meeting tomorrow. If this is successful, it will be a powerful blow to those 'betrayers' in Cheslan. Even if the price of the truce is Silan has to make compensation, and I can also bring huge political capital back to the country. If I can live by then, Cheslan will no longer have the voice of opposing the king. And I will fully support you to become Fidiktli The king. This is the promise I made as the king of Cheslan, the descendant of the Arecio family."
Sending the letter was just a matter of effort for Jenkins. Seeing that the other party had talked to this level, he had no reason to refuse. So I said something to comfort the other party, and then promised to send the letter as soon as possible. The young king smiled in relief, his pale face seemed to get better:
"I'll keep my promise."
He said so.
The carriage finally stopped in front of Papa's antique shop, and the driver and his master probably thought that Jenkins was going to work so early. Now that he has arrived at the door of the antique shop, Jenkins naturally wants to go in and say hello to his father, who was taken aback by Jenkins' appearance so early:
"Did something happen again?"
The old man asked in surprise, and wanted to take something out of the counter as he spoke.
"Nothing happened, it was a peaceful morning."
Jenkins said, looking at his father suspiciously:
"What are you doing with such a big reaction?"
"It was clearly discussed with Bevanna in the church yesterday. You don't need to go to the antique store every day until the negotiation with the believers of lies is completed. You can open it when you have nothing to do. But we just agreed that you can ask for leave at any time, and the result is the second Tian ran over early in the morning, even earlier than the original work time, of course I would think that something happened again... Or else, you were finally kicked out by those girls at home?"
The old man made a joke, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the newspaper on the counter again, and did not forget to ask:
"So you came here so early, not just to say good morning to me?"
Jenkins didn't know how to explain why he came here this morning, so he took out the letter and told his father what he had just said. Of course Tarquin the Proud didn't want this to be known by irrelevant people, but Jenkins didn't care what the king of the southern kingdom would think, and he really didn't know how to explain that he would come to the antique shop so early.
"That's it. I didn't expect that Cheslan's country would become like this. I didn't even expect that the arrogant man came to Nolan for the sake of peace."
He hands the letter to Jenkins:
"Then hurry up and deliver the letter. I hope you don't run around. It's best to help Bevanna handle things in church all day. Now, Nolan is getting more and more chaotic."
I don't know if the king of Cheslan really hides well when he travels, or the city is protecting Jenkins. No one rushed out to shoot Jenkins until the distress letter was handed over to Miss Bevanna.
Miss Bevanna opened the letter and glanced at it to understand what happened. Although the high tower agreement stipulates that the royal families of various countries cannot use supernatural power to continue their lives, as ordinary citizens, they can still help the church to ask for the lifting of the curse. At the end of the era, as long as it is not a matter of principle, everyone can understand it.
Although the Church of the Sages also has a way to restrain the curse, Tarquin pointed out in his letter that he should be rescued by the doctors of the Church of Nature. Therefore, Miss Bevanna did not take this troublesome matter to the church, but directly asked Captain Bincy to forward the letter to the Natural Church.
She also told Jenkins one more thing:
"Remember that shooting at the pier that day?"
"I didn't kill Viktorm!"
Jenkins said immediately, thinking that the church was as suspicious of him as the police.
"Vektom? Who's that?"
Miss Bevanna said suspiciously that she did not know the name of the man who was injured at the time. Seeing Jenkins grabbing the cat and hemming and hawing, he skipped this topic:
"The church found the murderer through divination and punished him. This incident not only involves the country of Fidiktri, but also the people of Cheslan who are planning. This point should have been told to you by the old man, but we The investigation revealed that the Quick family was behind this incident."
"The Quick family, isn't it already gone?"
Little Quick is the culprit behind the serial murders Jenkins and the girls planned during their winter trip. As the only son of his family, he died in the snowy mountains, causing the old Quick to take revenge on Jenkins by borrowing the power of the monster, and summoned the coachman to get A-04-1-6671 [The Uninvited Guest at Night] to the door of Jenkins' house.
"It's gone, but we didn't find the source of the knowledge they used to summon the coachman together with the Antak family. And this time, after in-depth investigation, we unexpectedly found that all these things seem to have the same behind-the-scenes master—"
"Let me guess, is it a tree house? They have infiltrated the nobles and high-level officials of the two countries, using extraordinary power and promises of the future to win people's hearts?"
Jenkins asked, and Miss Bevanna laughed:
"You really do know."
In fact, even the arrival of [Night Manor] has the shadow of a tree house behind it. They wanted to use Night Manor to descend to carry out a dangerous experiment. As for the content of the experiment, and the relationship between Miss Lawrence's uncle and aunt and this organization, it is still unknown.
"It is known that the tree house is related to the [Gear Artisan Association] and the [Smell Appreciation Committee]. We may as well guess that they have connected these two organizations. But the question now is, what are they doing? After your reply Before arriving at Nolan, we were tracking down the whereabouts of these three groups, but they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
"Is it underground?"
Jenkins said, "Didn't the cogsmith dig up something very dangerous under Nolan?"
"It's like this. We even found two entrances where craftsmen would enter the ground. But they dug too deep, and the underground mines are too complicated. The investigation team has not yet gone deep enough to find their location."
This is the result of the church's current investigation of these illegal organizations. Although it seems that there is no result, at least the church can make new discoveries every day.
Jenkins suspected that the Beast of Calamity and the outbreak of the final disaster were related to the Artisan Association or the Scent Appreciation Committee, or even both. The theme of the last page of the Epic of Time is steam. Now it seems that whether it is the difference engine underground or the weird smoke on the ground, it is not completely unrelated to this theme.
Although he said that he met the king of the southern country this morning, Jenkins has not forgotten the real purpose of going out this morning. After chatting with Miss Bevanna, I planned to go to Salhi II. But before he could leave the church gate, he was stopped by the Bishop of Paro.
"Oh, Jenkins, it's really early for you to come. Are you here to read the materials? I've got people ready. It just so happens that it's too hot at this time, and there aren't many people in the library. You can go there to read."
After finishing speaking, he led Jenkins to get those documents without waiting for Jenkins' objection. Jenkins thought for a while, and must have read those materials today. Since he is in the church now, why not go to Salhi II after reading them, since the other party will not fly away anyway.
So all morning, Jenkins and the cat stayed in the church's public library. The inside of the library was even hotter than outside. Seeing that the cat couldn't stand the heat anymore, Jenkins applied to Miss Bevanna, and after getting a favorable answer, he made some ice bricks and piled them on the wall.
Although it has little effect on the overall temperature, Jenkins is relieved to see the chocolate lying on top of the bookshelf next to the ice cubes, looking very comfortable.
The information given by the bishop involved almost all the political secrets of the whole world in the past ten years, and more importantly, the contradictions and conflicts among the three kingdoms in recent years. These things involve the entire material world. If they can be compiled into a book, then these love, hate, conspiracy and lies will definitely be more exciting than the two books Jenkins copied.
The game between the kingdoms, the secrets between the duchies, the estrangement at the court banquet, the conspiracy under the grape arbor, and the fight in the deserted wilderness, although they are only spoken in plain sentences, they are as exciting as Jenkins Any novel you've read.
"Is this the charm of history and reality?"
He thought to himself, then noticed that it was lunch time.
There is not much content left, and it can be read in an hour at most in the afternoon. So they had lunch in the church, and met Captain Bincy on the way, who had already sent those distress letters to the Natural Church.
"Jenkins, I met your cousin, she said she is ready, let me ask you, when to invite her to your home, she needs to make some preparations in advance."
Captain Bincy also delivered a message for Jenkins.
Jenkins calculated the time, tomorrow is the meeting of the three kings, so there must be no time, and taking Sigrid home is a very important matter, and Mary has to prepare in advance.
"I'll go and answer her."
He said vaguely, thinking it was next week. But something might happen next week, so I simply set the time after my birthday. After my birthday, I will take four ladies...five, including Julia, and go home. Mother Mary will definitely not be happy by then.
"But if I bring my distant relatives who are visiting for the first time, even for Sigrid's sake, Mary won't criticize me too much."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, happy for his successful and proper plan.
I saw Fini again at the lunch table. Little Fini did not sit with her friends, but sat alone in the corner of the table. Jenkins then walked over with the cat and sat down beside Finny.
