Continuing to walk forward, Jenkins lowered his head, and felt that his mood suddenly changed a lot. The hickey on the red-haired girl's neck seemed to be imprinted in his mind, even though he could roughly guess its origin, he always felt awkward.
The inexplicable things he has experienced recently are so many that this mood is quickly forgotten.
Miss Audrey wanted to go home to deal with the troubles next door. She told the two that there might be some important spy documents hidden there. She had nothing to do with it, but she didn't want to be involved either.
Miss Miller is now employed by an unnamed employer who appears to be an official member of the kingdom. Robinson's spy team took away some private photos when stealing a document, and the employer needed her to get the photos back without alarming anyone. Now that Robinson is dead, she can only look for the man who was infected with the gear germ, hoping to find something.
This is the fourth strange situation that Jenkins has experienced, or in other words, this is the fourth strange situation he has been forced to experience. He still hadn't figured out what the powerful ghost was that had haunted Pa, Professor Burns, and him in the basement of the castle.
Looking at the dark sky shrouded in clouds, his mood became even more gloomy.
Originally thought that there was no special gain in this strange situation, but after careful understanding, there seemed to be something more in the body. Sitting in the carriage, I closed my eyes and felt it carefully, but I didn't expect that there was one more gift.
It was a quietly burning flame, and he guided this gift to his finger, and the flame floated above his index finger.
After repeated inspection, it was indeed a cluster of ordinary flames. However, the flame cannot ignite the object, it can only be attached to the object to make it burn. After taking back this gift, the burning state also stopped.
In other words, this cluster of flames cannot be extinguished in any form, and can only be recovered to end the burning state. Therefore, Jenkins decided to call it [Eternal Fire].
"What is this? Different fire?"
He was entertaining himself thinking, and couldn't help laughing, which seemed to change his gloomy mood like the weather. But I recalled what my father said, that there are several kinds of flames that are divided into special items.
Today is Monday, and he hasn't asked his father about the black market [Gift] auction. Thursday is the Reading Festival, when the time comes, not only go to the school to meet the students of Professor Burns, but also participate in church activities, and then have dinner with the family.
Mr. Corpse's party is next week, and Mr. Hood's party is still undecided. He was probably frightened by the meeting with the Pirate King - Destroyer Fermisio last time, and the party might be delayed for a long time.
The rest of the day, and all of Tuesday, was uneventful. Jenkins enjoys a peaceful life and gets a lot of news from Pop.
The demon incident is really coming to an end this time. The dead Khumbu has been identified as a descendant of the Asyashi family. In his residence, the church seized a large number of prohibited items and blasphemous materials.
Pop gave Jenkins a list of special items added to the parish.
The Orthodox Church was very annoyed by this matter, because a powerful alien from another world almost descended on this parish. Through pressure from the church, those young people who participated in the demon summoning were all captured. Even though it involved two or three noble heirs who would be knighted in the future, the kingdom did not raise any protests.
Maintaining the stability of the mortal world is the common task of the mortal and the extraordinary.
In the name of "increasing knowledge", Dad asked Captain Bincy to lead Jenkins to "visit" the most core place of the demon summoning ceremony on Tuesday night.
It was the basement of a property near the east bank of the Westminster that belonged to the son of a baron who had been captured.
This place was completely sealed off. Captain Bincy used at least three documents and two seals. After both of them released their soul emblems to confirm their identities, they were allowed to enter.
"This is Miss Eve Garden from the [Starry Sky and Equilibrium] Church, and this is Mr. Auer from the [Death and End] Church..."
Captain Bincy introduced everyone in the basement one by one. All of these people are above level six.
Everyone was working independently, and the winding basement corridor was artificially enlarged to a rather astonishing area. Most of the space is a black prison-like place, with mottled black blood and yellow dirt attached to the rusted iron fence, showing how terrible things have happened here.
There is no light source in the basement, and the people from the church brought some kerosene lamps and placed them in key positions, barely illuminating all the corners.
The air was filled with steam, and a very disgusting stench and smell of oil, which reminded Jenkins' body of the days when the Williamettes were civilians. The two moved on, greeting the people they met, all dressed in black. According to Captain Bincy, this is an ancient tradition that must be followed when dealing with such matters.
Jenkins turned his head and saw that there seemed to be something lying in the rusty fence beside him, and there was a very faint red aura.
Captain Bincy also stopped and handed him the kerosene lamp he was carrying. Jenkins approached cautiously, the firelight illuminating the dark cell, the floor was covered with straw, and a humanoid figure leaned against the wall.
"Oh~"
The moment the light touched it, the ugly creature with a slender tongue and a face full of small holes, with maggots protruding from the holes, rushed towards the fence, and then was pulled back by the rattling iron chain.
Jenkins was startled, took a few steps back and nearly fell, but was fortunately supported by Captain Bincy.
"You already know what's in here?"
"Haha~ I'm sorry, Mr. William. But Father Oliver told me that to give you some necessary shocks during this event is also an important step in the growth of the Giver."
Although he attributed the matter to his father, the man still had a smile on his face:
"Okay, okay, don't worry. This is an unsuccessful demon infused with the power of the demon. You know, not everyone participates in the demon summoning event for excitement. There are also people who want to live longer …”
The smile on his face disappeared and turned into a serious expression. He knocked on the iron fence with his fingers. Except for the iron filings falling, the monster in the cell twitched/twitched again.
"Everyone is mortal, so some people pay attention to other things. Hmph~ How can it be so easy to transform into a different species?"
After saying this, they ignored the monster, and the two continued to move forward.
