"Why didn't you see anyone else?"
There was no need to say hello, and Jenkins went to sit next to Fei Ni, and Jenkins spoke directly. The two were not strangers who needed to greet first.
"Good afternoon, sir! They're still selling flowers, but I've sold out my share!"
Finny looked happy and even smiled at the cat. Chocolate was bored by the recent hot weather and the addition of three people in the family, so she didn't give Fenny a good look. But this cat was always like this, and Fei Ni didn't feel left out by the cat.
"It's really good, but the weather is so hot now, I haven't eaten at noon and are still selling flowers on the street..."
Jenkins hesitated, then looked at the rich food on the table, wanting to choose some desserts for himself that could relieve the heat.
"But I always feel that no matter what I take, it will be cheaper than chocolate."
He stared at the yellow tempting pudding and thought.
"I sold out my share at ten o'clock in the morning, so I came back early. The nuns and nuns will organize others to rest at eleven thirty, but eat at the nearby restaurant."
Fenny said happily:
"But it's also hot in the dining room, and it's more comfortable in the church."
Of course, the church would not let nuns lead the choir children to some high-end restaurants, and they only chose cheap restaurants on the street, so the indoor heat is a natural thing.
While eating, Jenkins asked about the flower sales again. The little girl also likes this topic very much, because "selling flowers" is not only her past, but also her present and future.
As Fini spoke, the little angel Louise behind her showed a shy smile. Noticing that Jenkins was looking at her, Angel nodded slightly, and unnaturally tightened his arm around Fei Ni, as if shy. If it weren't for the fact that the angel is a spirit body, if he got so close to Fei Ni, he might have strangled her neck.
"I heard that at the auction yesterday, the two pots of tulips that failed to be auctioned a few days ago were sold at a very high price. That's really amazing."
Although the flowers sold at the auction are completely different from those sold by flower girls on the street, in Fenny's opinion, this should be regarded as "industry news", so she told Jenkins as an anecdote.
Of course Jenkins knew about this. After all, Miss Windsor found the baron who spent a lot of money on tulips, and even met Jenkins once.
"So do you think it's reasonable to pay such a high price for two potted flowers?"
he asked his followers.
"Since it is a very beautiful and precious flower, and some people are willing to buy it, it is probably worth it..."
Fenny replied, but frowned again, as if she encountered some doubts:
"But ever since I heard about those two potted flowers, I always feel... It's like some kind of hoax."
Jenkins laughed happily. He patted Fenny on the head and winked at her:
"Don't tell anyone else~"
The girl was still a little confused, but when she looked up and saw Jenkins' expression, she immediately felt that she understood:
"Yes sir, I won't talk nonsense."
As the only fanatic of the [God of Lies], Fei Ni naturally has the ability to target lies to a certain extent, so theoretically, she can be more sensitive to the strangeness of this matter than other people.
This shows that Fenny really believes in Jenkins wholeheartedly. Even if Jenkins didn't grant her any magic or ability, this young ordinary girl is willing to dedicate her soul to him unconditionally.
In the afternoon, I finished reading the materials given by the bishop according to the plan, and then chatted with the bishop for a while, guessing what results will be achieved in the next grand meeting of the three kings.
The bishop has acquaintances in the Holy See, and he can get a lot of first-hand information. Coupled with the information obtained by Jenkins himself, it is basically certain that the three kings do not want the war at the intermission stage to continue.
The talks this time are not just peace talks about war, but also territorial disputes among the three countries. Of course, the most important thing is still that the secular forces seek to unite in order to gain an advantage in the new negotiations between theocracy and kingship after the joint meeting of the Twelve Orthodox Churches.
Both the Kingdom of Fidiktli and the Kingdom of Hampawo are ready. As long as the king does not die before the meeting, there is the same consensus in the country. It's just that the situation of Cheslan is worrying. Those short-sighted and main fighters who seem to be controlled by the tree house probably won't be happy to accept the end of the war like this.
Leaving the church, he applied for a meeting with Salhi II in the name of Dolores, and soon saw Dolores' father, the dying king of the Northland, in the reception room of the mansion.
He was still wearing a red plush cloak, and looked very afraid of the cold.
"Sure enough, you are here."
Salhi II said:
"I knew that even if Dolores heard my request, she would not disagree."
This seemed to be testing whether Jenkins would discuss this matter with Dolores, but Jenkins ignored it. Sit down with the cat in your arms and look around:
"Why does it feel so hot in this room?"
The chocolate was already panting from the heat, and Jenkins' back was already drenched in his shirt.
"I'm a little afraid of the cold, so I asked your queen to arrange for the steam company to continue supplying steam to this house."
Steam pipes are still needed for heating in hot weather, which is a very new thing. Jenkins guessed in his heart that this should not only be due to Salhi II's physical reasons. After all, no matter how weak he is, he would not need to keep warm to such an extent in summer.
"Is the 'clone' ability he was given flawed?"
Jenkins secretly thought, but did not expose the opponent's cards. Now they know almost all the cards in the hands of the king of the northern kingdom, and there is no benefit in exposing this at this moment.
"So what do you want to tell me?"
The somewhat haggard middle-aged king asked.
"I promise, if I become the king of Fidetictli, then I will definitely not rely on marrying Dolores to annex your country."
Before Salhi II pointed out the trap, Jenkins continued:
"But if Dolores did not become your heir, but I became the king of this country, and I was very lucky to defeat the heir you chose, then there is something wrong with your vision, and your heir is not worthy to be King, and I deserve it all.
I think, if I use normal means of war to gain your territory, it should have nothing to do with Dolores, right? "
This is the trap that Salhi II saw. He wanted Jenkins to promise not to annex it under any conditions. But what Jenkins said also made sense, the middle-aged man thought about it and laughed:
"You are very confident, but you are right. If the heir I choose is really no match for you, then fate will make the Kingdom of Hampavo disappear. This is very reasonable, and I don't need to make too many arrangements for my descendants After all, they also have their own way to go."
