He was thinking in his heart, and the balance in his heart was already leaning towards rejection, but his father suddenly spoke.
"No problem. There's not a lot of business in the store recently. I can ask Jenkins to leave work early."
He tapped Jenkins on the shoulder behind his back, and Jenkins immediately agreed:
"Okay, thank you for your invitation, do I need to prepare anything in advance?"
A sweet smile bloomed on Miss Mihail's face again:
"I hope you can prepare some stories in advance."
"Eh?"
After the girl left, Jenkins looked at his father puzzled.
"Are you going to refuse just now?"
Father impatiently spoke first.
"Yeah, didn't you say that I have bad luck recently, so don't go out casually?"
"That depends on the situation."
With a look of hatred on his face, he gestured for Jenkins to sit down, and then explained to him:
"You should know that although the Kingdom of Fidgetly has established a parliament following the example of the other two countries, most of the power in the kingdom is still concentrated in the hands of the nobles. Although Britney's father, Marquis Michael, is only a marquis, he is The powerful aristocrat in charge of most of the power of Nolan's navy! Even most of the dukes in the country would greet him politely when they saw him.
Therefore, all the friends Britney Michel knows are the children of the kingdom's great nobles and big capitalists. Getting to know more of these people will be very beneficial to your future. Unless they want to explore the Devil's Forest for the weekend, you should definitely go too! "
Jenkins nodded ignorantly. He doesn't know much about these mundane things. Most of the information he usually knows is about orthodox churches, false gods and evil gods, or things related to occultism. Even if he takes a break, he only reads mathematics, Historical and grammatical sources.
"And one more thing."
Dad didn't finish his sentence.
"You're going to be 21 soon. Although I asked you to work here, you didn't say you can't ask for leave, right? You stay here every day and don't communicate with your peers outside. What about getting married?"
Jenkins trembled in his heart, unexpectedly, his father also talked about this issue.
In this world with backward productivity, civilians marry at a relatively early age, and it is not uncommon for people to become mothers in their teens. For example, Robert Williams and Mary Williams got married at the age of 16, and although Jenkins' elder brother is not yet married, he already had a lover a long time ago, and now it is only time to discuss the wedding.
So, after Jenkins "turned over a new leaf," Mary Williams made his marriage a priority.
Not only her, even Jenkins went to church every week, and when he occasionally met Bishop Parode, he would be very enthusiastic about talking to Jenkins about it.
"But you also said just now that Miss Michel knew all the children of the real upper class. I am an apprentice in a small antique shop..."
Jenkins pleaded softly.
"Do you think that Dad's identity is only a shop owner and an honorary university advisor? Being Dad's apprentice, you won't lose face..."
Dad rolled his eyes at him,
"Besides, you sacrificed your divinity to the goddess, and you are destined to be recognized as the holy son of the church. As long as you are not a girl like the princess of the kingdom, you can choose who you want to marry? You don't come here during the day on weekends, so clean up For yourself, communicate more with your peers, don’t be nervous when talking to girls, and don’t embarrass your father outside.”
"I didn't expect that there would be a marriage reminder after time travel."
Jenkins muttered in his heart and could only agree.
There was still some time before the next meeting, and the investigation that was entrusted to the huntress was still going on. The report on the castle's strange scene has also been handed in. Except for the professor's promise to take him to another party, there is really nothing important recently.
After Jenkins returned home, he showed his family the "Fairy Tale of a Stranger" he had bought, and mentioned by the way that he was going to attend a reading salon on weekend nights.
He originally wanted to say that he would go home late that night, but he did not expect that the keen Mary Williams would grasp the most critical part of the matter at once:
"Are there a lot of girls?"
So Jenkins got a brand new black suit, a pair of calfskin shoes worth 12 pounds, and several sets of optional white shirts.
On Sunday evening, Jenkins came to Dad's shop in a somewhat tired carriage. He had a brooch given to him by Bishop Parode on his chest, and a pocket watch from his brother in his pocket. He wore a smooth silk top hat and held a solid wooden walking stick in his hand.
This outfit concealed his immature face, making him look a lot more mature, like a real adult gentleman.
Even the asking price of the coachman today is 5 pence more than in the past.
"looks good."
Dad nodded, "I'm sure your mother chose it for you. To be honest, your taste in dressing is very poor."
Before Miss Mihail's arrival, Dad did more than verbally attack Jenkins, he also told Jenkins a piece of news.
"A bestower of the Church of [Death and the End] was killed this morning when he was out on a mission, and a [Surprise] he was carrying was taken away by the murderer."
"What level of benefactor?"
"The sixth-level gifter."
The old man's expression was serious, "This matter will not affect us for the time being. The murderer has no means of resisting divination. The grave guard team has already found his whereabouts. It will be a matter of time before he is caught. But the robbed The creepy thing that walks is the biggest hidden danger. Although its security level is rated as 4 and it can be used after strict application review, the rating of the creepy thing is the least accurate. To be honest, the sage is above, I think all the tricky things Nothing is trustworthy."
"Which strange thing is it?"
Jenkins asked again.
"Because it's not something from our church, the [Death and the End] church also feels ashamed, so it hasn't been notified yet. Now I only know that the number is A-12-4-6701, and the name is [Reaper's Cloak Fragment]."
"grim Reaper?"
Jenkins was greatly surprised. The churches in this world are very strict about the naming of objects, and the word "God" will not be easily involved, otherwise it would be blasphemy.
"Yes."
The old man closed his eyes and seemed to be muttering to himself: "I seem to have heard of this thing when I was young. It is very weird. It seems that as long as you pay a certain price, you can definitely kill a living creature..."
He didn't go on, but Jenkins believed that the so-called cost was definitely more serious than the equivalent exchange. In the phrase "sly thing", the word "sly" is no joke.
