The main thing on Friday, apart from meeting the ladies of the music church that he had agreed to in the evening, Jenkins also wrote a letter yesterday, inviting his distant cousin Sigrid to meet.
She was supposed to be taking her to Privet Drive this week, but it was delayed by the family of brother Newman Williams' fiancée. In addition, Jenkins has been busy preparing for the joint meeting recently, so the matter of taking her home to meet relatives has been delayed again and again.
It doesn't matter if you go home to meet the Williams family a few days later, there is not much difference between meeting earlier and meeting later. But the soul of the tree has always been on Sigrid, and Jenkins is always worried, lest one day he will hear that Sigrid was kidnapped by the people in the tree house.
She is different from the hosts of Ice Soul and Dark Soul. Dolores is protected by Alexia. Miss Windsor has nothing to do with "Dark Soul" at all, not as conspicuous as Ice and Tree, so now Among the owners of the three souls other than the dragon soul, Sigrid faced the greatest danger, and Jenkins didn't want to wait any longer.
Originally, they planned to meet in the Evergreen Forest, but it just so happened that Sigrid was sent by the church to the city to garrison these few days, so they could meet in the city. This is also more convenient. If it is in Evergreen Forest, Jenkins will definitely miss the afternoon reception.
When I saw Sigrid, she was helping out at the flower shop at the intersection of Walter Pedestrian Street and Fifth Queen's Avenue.
Originally, Sigrid was a reserve nun of the Church of Nature, and as a benefactor, she was responsible for escorting confidential documents and important items for the church across the mainland. But in Nolan, there is no need to do these things, and she is now recognized by the public as a descendant of the royal family, and the Church of Nature will not send her to do chores.
Coincidentally, after negotiating with the five local churches, the seven churches that have no local churches in Nolan obtained permission to establish small strongholds in the urban area. These strongholds will serve as an important means for the Twelve Churches to monitor Nolan.
This flower shop is the stronghold of the Church of Nature. The owner of the shop is a follower of the righteous god [Spirit of Nature]. After hearing that the church was looking for a house, he immediately generously sold the entire shop and everything in the shop to church.
Sigrid is here to help these days. When Jenkins opened the door and came in, she was carrying a kettle to water the fresh tulips that had just been shipped from outside the city.
The cluster of tulips is placed in the most conspicuous position in the flower shop, ensuring that customers can see it at a glance after opening the door.
"Welcome, may I help you?"
asked the young woman behind the counter, who didn't recognize Jenkins. This lady is an ordinary person, because the flower shop really needs to operate, but it is impossible to distract the management with a limited number of benefactors.
"this is my friend."
Sigrid said to the young lady behind the counter, then put the kettle aside and smiled at Jenkins:
"Look, these tulips are the most expensive plants here. I never thought that tulips could be so expensive. Back in Chezland, tulips in late autumn were probably not more expensive than those in Nolan now."
She sighed half-complainingly, and then told Jenkins that the Church of Nature also planned to cultivate tulips locally, but the cultivated varieties were far inferior to the "noble" and beautiful bulbs and finished flowers that Nolan circulated in the market. Now the price of tulips in the whole city is getting higher day by day, and people of insight have long taken a fancy to the business opportunities.
Even the scattered and difficult-to-preserve finished flowers in the hands of the flower girls are sold out quickly every day, which fully demonstrates that Jenkins' plan is moving forward at a rapid speed.
After saying hello, Sigrid left the flower shop with Jenkins, boarded the carriage that Jenkins rented, and drove towards the city's Yodel Opera House.
Jenkins considered finding a suitable and safe place to talk about tree spirits, certainly safe in his own home, but he wasn't sure it was polite. It was also safe to go to an upscale bedroom in a hotel in the city center near the town hall, but he was sure it would be rude to do so.
So I chose the boxes of the small opera house in the city. Of course, although the scale is much smaller than that of the Royal Opera House outside the city, the ticket price here is more than three times that of the outside city. Tickets for the Yodel Opera House are not something you can buy as soon as you want. It is more like a social place than a place to cultivate sentiment. The evidence is that although the Yodel Opera House has ordinary auditoriums, all the tickets sold are Box tickets, except for the staff, there are never spectators in the auditorium.
"Let me guess what you are looking for me for today."
After entering the box, Jenkins immediately nervously checked whether there were any suspicious items and whether there were small holes in the wall for eavesdropping. Sigrid almost reached the sofa with Chocolate. She picked up the apple in the fruit plate and shook it at the cat, but Chocolate never liked to eat things given by others, so she ignored the humans in front of her at all.
"Is it for the World Tree seeds? Have you thought about combining them?"
The blonde girl guessed.
"It's not about this matter. Regarding the matter of the World Tree seed, I plan to ask an elder for his opinion before taking action. This time it is for another matter."
Jenkins shook his head and sat down on the sofa too. The window in front of the two of them was facing the stage, which was the best position, but even though the music had started and the man’s powerful voice began to describe an ancient love legend as the background of the opera, they had no intention of getting up to watch:
"It's another thing, a... very excessive thing."
Sigrid blushed a little, and brushed her hair nervously:
"whats the matter?"
"Um… "
Before Jenkins could figure out how to speak, he scratched his face:
"It's embarrassing to say."
Sigrid put her hands on her legs and grabbed her skirt tightly. The cat on the side watched the "funny scene" and suspected that Jenkins did it on purpose.
"Can you pledge your allegiance to me?"
"Huh? Sorry, Jenkins, what did you say?"
This kind of thing that is difficult to speak, once said, it feels nothing. Jenkins didn't want to take advantage of others, so he told all the things he knew about the Four King Souls. He even revealed some things about the savior, but he didn't tell the whole story. After all, some things are not suitable for telling irrelevant people, which will only increase the danger to others.
"So that's the case, the Dragon Soul proposed by Red Dragon last time is also..."
Knowing Jenkins' purpose, the blond nun lost her interest. She leaned on the soft sofa with her shoulders, and said in a slightly lazy tone:
"I thought it was something else."
Ears are a little red, but hard to notice
