As Miss Audrey closed her eyes and recited strange words in an ancient language, it seemed that there was a wall separating this small space from the world.
The smell of the incense became stronger and stronger, the woman sat on the sofa and slowly bent down, her face stopped when she almost touched the crystal ball.
Jenkins held his breath, only feeling that the space the two of them were in at the moment didn't seem to be the physical world. The invisible wall blocked the space. In this strange feeling, Miss Audrey who was sitting beside her seemed to be a different person. A weird and ethereal temperament replaced the original lazy home appearance.
"I saw."
The woman frowned, her voice was hoarse and rough, completely different from the past.
"She's still in Nolan, and I see a river, no, it's not the Westminster. There's too much trash on the river, it's... the Rhone?"
"Rhône? Any specific details?"
While asking, he quickly recalled the terrain of Nolan City.
"Yes, yes. It is a row of low houses on the east bank of the river, not far from the factory, and the woman lives in a house with a red wooden door facing the river. The house number is 32..."
She opened her eyes suddenly, and the crystal ball in front of her cracked a gap.
"What's wrong?"
Jenkins was a little nervous. If it was too dangerous there, he would just give up. There was no need to take a gamble and lose his life.
"No, it's fine."
Miss Audrey stretched out her right hand to cover her forehead, her complexion looked pretty good, she didn't look like she was injured.
"It's a problem with the crystal ball. Last time I used it to divination a very important thing, it was already in a damaged state. Sorry, that's all I can see, but the Rhone itself is not long. The northeast corner of Nolan directly merges into the sea, although the house number is not clearly visible, it shouldn’t be difficult to find that place.”
"It's okay, it's okay, thank you very much!"
Jenkins knows that this is enough. The Rhone River itself is different from the Westminster River that almost crosses the urban area. Even fewer locations.
Although he doesn't have the ability of divination, he also knows that the results of divination are usually obscure and difficult to understand. Only very few skilled fortune-tellers can see the truth of fate through the fog. It was almost impossible to directly see an understandable picture, but Miss Audrey did it.
"It's terrifying, it's terrifying." He sighed in his heart.
"I want to thank you. Without you, I don't know when I would be able to take that card out."
Miss Audrey signaled Jenkins to sit still, got up again and left the living room, and came back with an extra hemp rope in her hand.
"B-10-04-1212, Hunter's Trap Rope. This is a relic of Robinson who died in a strange place. Alexia should have told you what this thing does."
Said, handed him the rope.
"This should be the spoils of the three of us."
"Yes, but Alexia asked me to help with divination once, and the part of the rope is considered a reward. Today we help each other, but I think the value of the gift is greater."
Seeing her appearance, Jenkins accepted it. It just so happens that the cash on my body is expensive recently, so maybe I can sell it to earn some gold pounds.
Before leaving, Miss Audrey also informed Jenkins about the astronomy course. Stargazing can only be done at night, so the two have to discuss the specific time.
Standing in the foyer and preparing to say goodbye, the maid at the side fetched the hat and coat hanging on the hanger. Originally, she was going to help Jenkins put it on, but Jenkins refused with a chuckle, he was not used to this kind of thing.
The maid nodded, and handed Jenkins clothes to him with a rosy face.
"Do you need help?"
Although they don't know exactly what Jenkins is going to do, the fortune teller can still guess something. Under the dim light of the gas lamp, she showed an interested expression on her face, "I'm not good at direct combat, but I know Alexia's address. She is a professional detective and mercenary."
"No, I can do it myself, and I know some friends."
Jenkins smiled, he had already planned, after finding the position in a while, he will observe first, and if there are any accomplices, he will retreat directly. If not... Thinking of this, he had another idea.
"How about this, can you divination for me again, will things go well tonight?"
Jenkins suggested that Miss Audrey seemed to have expected him to say that, and directly took out a deck of cards from her pocket for him to draw.
Without thinking about anything, Jenkins stretched out his hand and pulled out the top card. After flipping it over, it showed a pattern of a silver coin, but it was neither front nor back, it was upright.
"Flipping fate, the meaning of this card means that everything in the future depends on your actions. It may be good, but it will not be the best. It may be bad, but at least it will not be death."
"That's enough, good night, Miss Audrey."
He held the cat in one hand and carried the cane, took off the hat he just wore with the other hand, bowed very gentlemanly, and then turned and walked into the night.
"Good night, Mr. Williamette."
The woman also responded with a smile, and then stood at the door of her house, facing the cold night wind in late autumn, looking at Jenkins' back, with some smiles on her face:
"Mr. Williams, I wish you luck."
Not far from Miss Audrey's house, Jenkins put on his black robe in the shadow of the corner of the intersection. Hired a carriage, and briefly described the place he was looking for to the driver, and he took Jenkins directly to the destination without him even needing to look for it.
"The Rhone River is not very long, and the place you describe is not remote."
The coachman explained it to Jenkins slowly.
Therefore, when he got out of the car, he gave the coachman an extra silver coin, which is 1 shilling. This is to strengthen the coachman's impression of the current image, so that when someone asks about it, Jenkins will not be suspected.
Knowing that there are two other women who are coming here, Hathaway will think that Jenkins has invited the believers of the new gods with great powers, and Miss Audrey herself knows a lot of Jenkins' secrets, and Jenkins has already talked about it for a while Ask a friend to help.
Nothing goes wrong, and that's it.
Nolan City is a city without street lights, and the slums at night are even more dim. Standing at the intersection, the low houses next to each other are scattered, as if a giant beast crawling in the dark is waiting for Jenkins.
A smile appeared on Jenkins' face. Only in this dark night where his identity would not be revealed, could he do his own thing without any worries.
