"These three wooden badges have unique shapes and strange patterns. They should be old things left over from the previous era. Most of the information about the previous era disappeared in the cataclysm, so I can't judge the specific period. "
Dad curled his lips and shook his head, Jenkins suddenly tensed up.
"From the material point of view, this one should be made of pure iron, and the weight is also very consistent. I don't know the text on it, but the decoration style conforms to the style of the ancient Shikali Kingdom."
"..."
He evaluated the badges on the table one by one, and Dad didn't say a word in the process. After Jenkins finished speaking, he commented in the order Jenkins just said:
"These three are indeed modern handicrafts, but this one is decorated with wheat ear patterns. It was a gift from the [Earth and Harvest] church to the core believers during the last [Harvest Banquet]. With a little operation, the nobles are still willing to spend Buy it for £100."
The style of this one is indeed the style of the founding of the Cheslan Kingdom, but it is a pity that the wrong materials were used, otherwise it would be an extremely exquisite imitation.
These three wooden badges are modern handicrafts. When you go out, turn right and turn right to Aunt Sally's shop for 3 shillings. By the way, this pure iron one is also..."
In short, Jenkins had missed everything, so when he left in the evening, he had three more tomes in his hands, which his father asked him to read within two weeks.
The identification of the badge took some time, and Jenkins took away only the handicrafts, and the few valuable ones were entrusted to his father to keep in the store for sale.
Of course, considering that Jenkins is still busy moving recently, Dad only needs one-twentieth of the commission, which is a very reasonable price.
The badge that the old man missed was one of the three wooden badges. It was only a little larger than the brooch given to Jenkins by Bishop Parode. It was a common round shape, with a rusty pin welded together on the reverse side, and a long sword standing upright on the front.
The pin is not illuminated, so it was added later.
That night, after the family was asleep, Jenkins hid in the bedroom again to experiment with new things. Compared to the metal cube, which had no effect no matter how much the spirit was injected, this badge immediately shone brightly.
Jenkins held his breath and waited for the light to dissipate, but the dot of light quickly split and spun like an elf, gradually occupying the entire room. After everything stabilized, dots of silvery flashes filled the room, undulating like tides and as charming as stars.
"So, it's a... upholstery item?"
Jenkins watched this scene fascinated, and complained silently in his heart. The blue aura item I encountered last time was the fruit plate. The similarity between the two is that they are all useless garbage!
So the number of items stashed under Jenkins' bed, along with the unhealthy print, became four.
The next day Dad brought Jenkins a message.
"The fat woman yesterday morning is the owner of an apartment on Hamster Street in the slums. A single tenant who rented there disappeared inexplicably, and she sold all the things of that person."
"Dad went to investigate her?"
Jenkins just realized this.
"Yes, things can be kept by themselves, but the work still needs to be done. In fact, I will report every customer who sells 'valuable' things to the church for investigation. Recently, our staff has been involved overseas , so these things can only be backlogged temporarily. I was afraid that you would suffer, so I used my own way to investigate the woman yesterday."
Jenkins scratched his hair. Thanking him now feels a little contrived, so give Dad some presents next time around the holidays.
"Oh, by the way, the missing resident is himself a badge enthusiast. He has a lot of collections, but they are all sold by the fat woman to different places in batches. Some of the collections that have been tracked down so far are all ordinary items, only ours The one I got is different, good luck."
The old man's words didn't end, he adjusted his glasses, his face became serious:
"The badge enthusiast disappeared three nights ago. He doesn't have any bad hobbies. He usually makes a living at the pier as a bookkeeper. He probably came across that octopus..."
In this context, the octopus must be referring to the one that caused the death of the original Jenkins.
"Didn't the church ask for help from other dioceses?"
Jenkins was a little worried, after all, he was also a person who went out at night.
"Yes, because of the incident in the sea outside the city and the simultaneous appearance of the monster A-01-2-0198, the rotating cardinal attached great importance to it, and dispatched three powerful scribe teams from the capital to support us. But when they passed by New Truman City, they were involved in a large-scale cult sacrifice ceremony, and those cultists regarded the bestowers dressed in caravans as pigs. Now there has been a mess over there, if It’s not a small mess on our side, Captain Bincy even led a team to rush to support. I even heard that the evil god gave birth to a son of God in our world.”
Dad kept his voice down to say the last word, but since he said it, there must be a trustworthy source of information.
"Compared with the things there, our alert level here is acceptable, so I am afraid that such days of fear will last for a while."
"Son of the evil god?"
Jenkins unconsciously stopped scrubbing the table with his hands.
"I just heard that New Truman City is also some distance away from Nolan. Even if someone is going to be unlucky, it will definitely not be us."
Dad raised an eyebrow, trying to make Jenkins relax, but Jenkins didn't think it was going to be that simple.
The badge that the father took for identification returned to Jenkins three days later. Coincidentally, it was recorded in the church materials, and the father put the copied information and the badge in front of Jenkins.
"B-10-5-9820, [Medal of Wisdom], can improve the wearer's thinking ability and strengthen the resistance to abnormal mental states."
Jenkins read it.
"Yes, this is the information on the surface. The part that cannot be transcribed records that it was first discovered in the underground palace left over from the seventh era. Because the security level was rated as [5], it was found by someone in the capital. A strong man with an unknown name applied to bring it out. A hundred years ago, that strong man disappeared unexpectedly, and this thing disappeared."
"Can I have it?"
"Of course, there are a lot of things that have been lost from the Orthodox Church over the years, as long as you don't shout loudly in the church."
