Between Jenkins and Miss Audrey is a deck of cards.
"How much do you know about divination?"
"Not at all."
He speaks the truth.
"That's good. Let's start with the basics. I hope you don't think these contents are boring. History and source tracing are the cornerstones of divination."
"that… "
"Speak directly, Mr. Williamette."
"Do I need to take some notes?"
He straightened his waist and asked seriously.
"… It will be all right."
This night, they kept talking about the history and development of divination, without even exploring the relationship between divination and world spirits from the perspective of the bestowers. But history is always interesting, and Jenkins thought it was, much to Miss Audrey's admiration.
Considering that the next meeting might be two weeks away, Miss Audrey also wrote a book list for Jenkins to read in his spare time. The table of contents of the book list was not very long, but after a few days he realized that they were all very thick.
There is one more thing.
"Since you are going to the capital, can you send me something?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
What Miss Audrey wanted Jenkins to deliver was a letter, and the address was an apartment in downtown Beldyland. The recipient was Miss Audrey's dance teacher when she was a child. The poor old man was cheated out of most of her life savings by a group of scammers recently. Miss Audrey hoped to help her.
There was no aura in the envelope, and it seemed that there should be banknotes and letter paper inside, so there should be no accidents on this errand.
Things have to be dealt with one by one. Since Mr. Corpse's party will take some time, Jenkins has nothing else to do during the two days of the weekend. He just needs to say goodbye to all his friends.
Professor Burns asked Jenkins to go to the Teagle Museum in Beldyland to get some documents. These materials are very important, and the post office in this era obviously has great risks. If Jenkins didn't happen to be going where, then Professor Burns had already sent his students off.
Hathaway and Ms. Michael spent the afternoon talking excitedly with Jenkins about the customs and food of Beldyland. Unlike Jenkins, the child of the "poor family", these two ladies travel around the mainland every summer, and they are even more familiar with Beldyland. Together, they suggested that Jenkins go to a pedestrian street to try expensive food, and gave Jenkins the addresses of friends he could go to for help if he got into trouble in Belduran.
"I should live in the church, where the Holy See of the Church of [Knowledge and Books] is..."
"So, in addition to being able to see Her Majesty the Queen, you can even see the Pope?"
The ladies seemed more excited than Jenkins. According to them, Beldyland's aristocratic ball was much more interesting than the local ones.
Of course, Hathaway seemed to be cueing Jenkins not to go to the ball invited by a girl he didn't know. Her hints are so obvious that Jenkins thinks that not only he can see it, but also Miss Michael and Chocolate can see it.
Mademoiselle Michael thought so too.
He asked the two ladies if he wanted to bring some souvenirs. They all knew that Jenkins had recently made a fortune, but they all just asked for some cheap specialties.
Robert and Mary had already known about Jenkins' travel plans, and the latter wanted to pack all his luggage for him.
Mary packed Jenkins with a generous change of clothes and even a sweater for chocolate, citing the extreme weather changes of late. He didn't refuse, but because of the limited space in a suitcase, he could only leave the clothes at home.
He didn’t have much luggage to take with him on this trip, and the church would take care of all his needs for the trip except for three days and two nights on the steam train.
Therefore, only one change of clothes is needed, and since all the belongings are destroyed in the pool under the giant tree, there are no dangerous items to carry. A black suitcase is enough, although I also want to bring a cat cage to prevent naughty kittens from wandering on the train, but Chocolate will definitely not agree.
The identification of the black gemstone necklace came out soon. This item is very famous. B-12-5-8812, the summoner of the black mist, after being injected with the spirit, can temporarily summon some thick fog around the surroundings to block the line of sight.
The legendaryness of this item is not in the role, because there are quite a few abilities and items that can do that. Legendary is the fact that this object has been discovered and documented frequently over the years, but has often disappeared or lost its trace.
There have never been two B-12-5-8812s at the same time, but it is believed that this necklace was not just a single piece.
The reason is that its loss and appearance are irregular, and it is often difficult to make an exact connection between the last loss and the next appearance.
For example, the last time B-12-5-8812 appeared was in March 1601 of the general calendar, and its owner was a cultist from the cult [Dragon Hunting Association], with at least twenty people I saw with my own eyes that the necklace and the man fell into an active volcano overseas. But this time it was discovered by Jenkins, it was actually accompanied by a batch of antique jewelry from the last era.
The old man was very interested in this phenomenon. Although the necklace was taken away by Jenkins, he somehow delayed the auction of the manor and planned to investigate the origin of the antique jewelry in depth.
Another point is that when the father told Jenkins, his expression was very meaningful:
"The function of this necklace is dodge and defense."
He thrust the chain into Jenkins' hand.
"His previous masters were all trouble vortexes, so B-12-5-8812 can be fully utilized every time, which may be some kind of curse. But I am not worried about you at all, because after getting Before it, you were already a troublemaker."
On Monday morning, before the sun could penetrate the curtains and shine into the bedroom, Jenkins, who was sleeping in the living room, had already walked out of the bathroom.
He squatted beside the sofa and poked Chocolate's back, then got up and went to the door to fetch milk and newspaper. The departure time of the train is 9:00 in the morning, because it is the departure station, so the probability of delay is very low. In addition, Jenkins is a VIP car with a special boarding channel, so the chance of missing the train is even lower.
The suitcase containing the luggage was placed under the hanger at the door together with the cane, and there was also a notebook on the suitcase, which contained the latest itinerary.
The journey is about to begin.
PS: Ask for tickets at the beginning of the month.
