The traces of Jenkins holding the [Four-in-One] ceremony in the abandoned hospital were cleaned up by the church, and Alexia and the others had already returned to the Church of the Sages in the urban area.
The old elf didn't want to stay in the church. He planned to return to his rented apartment, make up for the missed lunch, and wait for the good news from Jenkins. But the group met Hathaway who greeted them at the door of the church. Under Hathaway's suggestion, the old elf turned to St. George's Street where Jenkins' home was located.
The ladies returning to the church were not idle, and Alexia was the busiest among them. She first went to see Jenkins' friend, Mr. Pisco, who should have died long ago.
Mason Piscoe was a well-known librettist who made a living writing operas and plays, even for the Silver Jasmine Opera Company.
When Jenkins first met the gentleman, he was dying from overuse of his powers, but when Alexia opened the door to meet him, Mr. Piscoe looked fine.
The light of the gas lamp in the guest room of the church was shining. A middle-aged man in a black silk suit and a bow tie stood sideways in front of the window, looking at the ashes with residual heat falling under the dark sky outside. There are two or three wrinkles in the corners of his eyes like a normal middle-aged man, but he is in good spirits.
Hearing Alexia's footsteps, he turned around. It wasn't just Alexia who entered the door, the little goblin Vinet flew beside her, followed by Hathaway the cat above her head and Sigrid who had nothing to do for the time being. At the end are Anastasia and Princess Sophia. They also have nothing to do for the time being and want to see the elves born in the epic of time.
One dragon and one person have lived for such a long time, but I have never heard that the pages of a book can give birth to a soul.
Of course, they were still a little disappointed to see that it was just a boring middle-aged man.
The ladies had heard about Mr. Pisco from Jenkins, and were full of doubts about his "resurrection", even though Hathaway had already talked to him once, and the goblin assured that the gentleman was all right, but Everyone still wants to be more cautious, that's why so many people were squeezed into the original private conversation.
"Good afternoon, ladies, please take a seat."
Mr. Pisco glanced at the clock in the corner and greeted him, while looking at the closed door:
"Those people outside, do you need to come in?"
Outside were people from the church, including several demigods and Miss Bevanna who was temporarily spared.
"No need."
Alexia shook her head, and the ladies sat on the sofa, and Mr. Pisco moved a chair across from them.
The goblin wanted to land on the armrest of the sofa next to Hathaway, but was intimidated by the chocolate "meow~" on the head of the red-haired lady, so she didn't dare to get so close to it, and flew to the other side of the sofa , fell into Sigrid's hand.
"Then I'll make a long story short. After all, it's almost time."
Mr. Pisco clapped his hands, and an incomplete piece of paper immediately appeared in front of everyone. Part of the paper was torn off and fed to the cat, and the rest contained a few repeated lines that led to last year's "Thirty-One Cycle" event.
"I was also quite surprised that I was able to come back from the dead. Yes, I thought I had really reached the end, so I arranged letters to Jenkins twice to help him. If I knew that I could still live, this kind of It's actually better to do things myself.
I overlooked one thing, this piece of paper is theoretically indestructible, so even if I, who was born from this piece of paper, exhausts my strength and dies, I can be reborn from it. "
He simply explained the reason why he could appear, and the goblins in the book do have this racial characteristic. Their bodies are not human or goblin-shaped bodies, but books or paper pages.
"So you're here to help Jenkins, too?"
Alexia did not comment on the gentleman's resurrection, but asked.
"Of course not, Jenkins is my friend and I would like to help him, but I am a soul born from the lost pages of [Epic of Time], and I must do things according to the rules. The purpose of [Epic of Time] is to record history, not Actively participate in the process of history."
He waved his hands and said.
"Then you have other options."
Hathaway said with certainty.
"Yes, I can't help him directly like this Miss Yinlong, but indirect is fine."
He nodded slightly to Anastasia. Silver Dragon, who had lost interest in the goblins of the time epic, only returned the salute after being reminded by Princess Sophia.
"Although I was born from the epic of time, the material world is also my home, and I don't want to see the civilization I am familiar with disappear. If all this can continue, even if I pay some price, I am willing."
Mr. Pisco looked across to the ladies and the cat:
"I dare not comment on Jenkins' views on marriage, but his vision is indeed good. You are all very capable ladies. I can't help him directly, but you can help him directly."
Anastasia and Sophia are definitely not in his consideration, because they are only friends with Jenkins, and Yinlong can no longer enter the strange world. Among the remaining benefactors of the Jenkins family, Julia, Dolores, and the three Jessicas are all too weak. Although Hathaway and Sigrid are not weak, they cannot be said to be strong.
"Yes, then it's just me."
Alexia pointed to herself and said that when she went deep into the underground for the last time and had a secret conversation with [A4-type arithmetic auxiliary external machine], with the help of the contents of the letter left by her future niece, the machine and people performed arithmetic divination together, so today the short Only a tall lady can think of what Jenkins needs in advance every time.
This is real divination, because the answer is known in advance and only needs to go through the verification process, so this process of arithmetic divination is of great benefit to Alexia.
"But even Alexia may not be able to help Jenkins much."
The rare entry into the conversation was Princess Sophia, who had little to do with the matter but was on good terms with the Jenkins ladies and offered to help them.
"Yes, this lady's current strength is not enough, so she needs to take a crucial step."
Yinlong, who was still tilting her head to look at the "scenery" outside the window, frowned immediately when she heard this sentence, and turned her head to look at Mr. Pisco:
"are you sure?"
"Of course."
The bored middle-aged man nodded.
"Now?"
Yinlong confirmed again.
"Yes, it is now."
"Yes."
Alexia agrees:
"It's now."
