Due to his suspicious personality, Jenkins has repeatedly suspected that there is something wrong with his cats. But many times of suspicion, all proved to be Jenkins' unreasonable trouble. Therefore, he attributed all the abnormalities on the chocolate to the magical potion.
Early on Wednesday morning, he received a reply from Shire.
Old Jack's real name will definitely not be "Jack Jack". Jenkins originally thought that his real name would be at the end of the letter, but he did not expect that the signature would still be "Jack".
Miss Audrey used a pseudonym, following the ancient tradition of fortune tellers. So, what is old Jack for
He couldn't figure it out at all.
In his reply letter, he first answered Jenkins' question, that [Animal Wisdom Apocalypse Potion] might indeed slow down or even stop the growth of the creatures that it eats. But this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it means that the life cycle of animals is lengthened. To put it more simply, it is to live longer.
This is a good thing. Jenkins was worried that the lifespan of cats is shorter than that of humans. After a few decades, he would use a special ritual called "Breath of Life" to renew the life of chocolate because of his reluctance. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, Chocolate may live longer than myself.
He patted his cat, Chocolate ignored him, but concentrated on licking the milk.
This is such a well-behaved cat, who always likes to be with Jenkins, and even if he jumps out of the fence by himself, he will remember to come home in time. Jenkins worried for a while that the chocolate would get lost, since he didn't want to wear a collar or a name tag. But then I thought, with the wisdom of chocolate, if one day it disappears, it must not be lost, but unwilling to see Jenkins again.
Chocolate looked back at Jenkins, who was looking sad, and rubbed the tip of his tail against his wrist.
Jenkins' mood immediately improved.
Old Jack actually easily identified the leaves that Jenkins sent over, and he even told Jenkins with certainty that those leaves must have fallen from the [Malicious Wishing Tree].
The old man's excitement could be felt between the lines. He told Jenkins that the leaves of this ancient tree with extraordinary power are the best materials for preparing potions related to [life]. He used three full pages of letter paper to introduce the knowledge of pharmacy, and it seems that he has not given up on the idea of letting Jenkins be his apprentice.
Even in these three pages, there is actually a complete method of making a potion called [Witch's Kiss]. Old Jack didn't put together all the steps of making the potion, but casually mentioned them bit by bit. This potion can only be used by women. After drinking it, it can show characteristics such as "radiant" and "charming" in the eyes of other people for a short time.
Specific changes are not limited to fine-tuning appearance, changes in body odor, and so on.
"What does he mean by that?"
Jenkins looked at the complete ritual process and the required materials copied down by himself, and guessed in his heart that this was another way to encourage himself to take the initiative to make potions, so as to increase his interest in this craft.
But it's a pity that if he chooses another type of potion, maybe Jenkins will really try it, but even if this potion is made, he has no one to give it to.
Old Jack also sent Jenkins a gift from the Reading Festival, which was an iron ring made by himself, which can identify some poisons when worn on his hand. This ring is effective within three weeks, and the types of poisons it can distinguish are also very wide.
He played with it in his hand for a while, and then put it on his right index finger, because this finger fit the ring best.
Jenkins didn't even mention the [doomsday document] to his father, because he needed to keep this secret strictly. He knew nothing about the item except what he had learned from Captain Bincy.
But it did mention "Twin Devils", which means that this matter has a major relationship with Jenkins.
In the early morning of this day, Jenkins watched the chocolate huddled in front of the fireplace in the antique shop. Its small figure was reflected on the surface of the exceptionally clean goldware that was scrubbed aside, which looked extremely funny.
After cleaning, Jenkins was copying the tadpole text while talking with his father about recent events.
It is now the second half of October, and the temperature in the morning is exceptionally low. But sitting comfortably in an antique shop, and then watching the passers-by outside the door with their necks curled up in a hurry, is also a very pleasant thing.
Dad is still wearing that ugly red cashmere vest today, with his monocle with yellow aura, playing with a gear in his hand.
This gear was taken from a [Gear Germ] infected person, and after confirming that it was completely harmless, it was given to Dad for research.
Jenkins felt that this thing was of little value, because the aura on it had been weakening since the morning, and it was about to become completely mortal.
The old man lowered his head, listened to Jenkins tell the story of the weekend night again, and then lamented in a low voice how lucky they were to be able to meet God.
He also knew about the Asyash family. After telling Jenkins some terrible rumors, they talked about Baron Augustus.
When Dad went to the manor of Baron Augustus to buy antiques, he also recovered some books that recorded occult materials. In the books, there are things related to Asiyash.
The sky was overcast and there was no sunshine all morning. The last days of fall are drawing to a close, but the cold also means it's hard to get through the winter without stocking up on food before the first snow falls.
Thursday is the Reading Festival, and Dad also made some decorations in the store. Taking advantage of the morning when there were no guests, they carried a ladder and hung a string of small metal book decorations inlaid with silver around the walls. In order to coincide with the festival, Dad also put up antiques such as ancient books, and sold them at discounted prices, which is also a good marketing method.
Jenkins inquired about the auction that Hathaway mentioned would be held on the black market on Friday. The old man actually knew, he casually told Jenkins that it's best not to get too involved in this matter. He got wind that there was indeed a gift that was about to be auctioned off, but not only did that thing come from a wrong path, even its owner had a very serious problem.
So Jenkins honestly gave up his thoughts on that thing. He has gotten into enough trouble recently, and it is enough to be his apprentice with peace of mind.
PS: Please help me to step on the book review in the book review area. The user who posted it is called: Is it a gentleman or not a big change, it is at the top. Needless to say, I have already banned him, just step on it. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
One more chapter tonight.
