The Huntress' investigation report contained information on the family, and it is said that at least four men lived in the house for a long time, but rarely appeared. And there are only two strangers who often come and go there, and most of the time they only appear at night and early morning.
Since Jenkins' commission did not include investigating that family, most of the information about it was to support the fact that "the source of the flu is here."
Based on this information, Jenkins can roughly deduce that his target is there. The next step is to make a detailed plan, at least before the week-long trip, we must solve the things here.
It is obviously too arrogant to act alone. Although there is a record of killing a demigod recently, it is almost an irreproducible miracle.
So Jenkins enlisted the help of another brilliant friend. That was naturally Alexia. She readily accepted Jenkins' request and showed great enthusiasm.
"Although using [Mechanical Light] almost means that you will lose your combat effectiveness in the short term, I hope that you can demonstrate it to me at the last moment. If that ability really has the function you said, then it will be of great help to me. The meaning of you is as important as [Theory of Mathematics] to me."
Of course, Miss Stuart is also eager to try this matter, but no one is against her getting involved in such a dangerous matter. Without Jenkins' support, she couldn't make it to Nolan, so she ended up helping the two friends by offering back-up support.
"I've never done anything so dangerous and exciting."
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Julia leaving the room to get black tea, Miss Stuart secretly told Jenkins and Alexia.
"It's not something to get excited about, it's right to stay out of danger."
He had to warn his friend in this way, to prevent her from viewing this kind of thing as an interesting adventure.
This is probably the first time that Jenkins has planned to hunt down a certain group. Although he has always believed that the more complex the plan, the easier it is to fail, he still came up with a complex plan that covers all possibilities.
Alexia reassured him not to be so nervous, but Jenkins couldn't help but think about how to make up for "if there is an accident".
There is one last thing to deal with before the plan starts, and that is Miss Audrey's divination course. Around the end of the year, she left Nolan City to return to [Church of Destiny and Law] to report on her work, which caused Jenkins' course to be delayed for nearly two weeks.
On Saturday evening, when I saw the lady again, she was not much changed from before, and it seemed that the journey to and from Nolan was going well. When Jenkins knocked on the door, she personally helped to open the door, so standing there, she could just see the back of Miss Michael and Hathaway's carriage leaving.
"Your friend?"
she asked, making way for the doorway to let Jenkins in.
"Yes."
"woman?"
"... Is this the result of divination?"
"No, I smell your perfume."
She is not Papa, so she will not express any views on Jenkins' relationship issues. But as Jenkins' guide on the road of divination, she warned Jenkins that it is a very serious matter for the giver to choose a spouse, which will seriously affect his own destiny.
Generally, at this time, you should take advantage of the situation and ask her for advice on what kind of spouse to choose. But Jenkins has no interest in this kind of thing, which makes Miss Audrey who recently received a letter from Alexia feel quite bored.
Jenkins' "peeking into fate" not long ago made her very moved and shocked, but she also became more and more sure that Jenkins was a rare divination wizard in a century. In view of this, she plans to speed up the progress of the course, at least to complete all the content of inspiration divination before the arrival of spring.
This time, instead of using those magical special items, some ordinary paper boxes were used to contain some stones with runes written on them, allowing Jenkins to guess the contents of the runes in the paper box.
He succeeded once in the three hours of study, but unfortunately that success should be due to pure luck.
"Don't be discouraged, this is at least the first step to success."
Miss Audrey is very satisfied with the result of this course, and thinks that it is fate hinting at the upcoming success.
Jenkins also makes a request in the middle of the class:
"I'm sorry, Miss Audrey. I'm going to do something that may fail recently, which makes me a little troubled. Can you help me with fortune divination, I want to get guidance from fate."
"Can you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help too."
This made Jenkins hesitate for a while, but finally decided to keep his secret from anyone living in Norland.
Because no effective information can be obtained from Jenkins, he can only use simple card divination to seek the guidance of fate. Of course, [Observer] and [Fate Forward] will also affect divination, so it is up to Jenkins to decide whether he should believe the result of divination.
There are three opportunities to flop, the first time is the upright sword, which represents strife and war, but the final outcome is mostly positive; the second time is the reversed shadow, which means that the shadow will bless him; the third time, There is no pattern.
"Sorry, is this a mistake?"
he asked nervously.
Since a complete set of divination cards contains many cards, this greatly increases the risk of loss. Therefore, there will be a varying number of blank cards in normal sold card suits, which are used as temporary substitutes when a card is lost.
But that was something that only the divination cards used by ordinary people would show up, and Jenkins never knew that fortune tellers would do it too. Moreover, he did not believe that Miss Audrey would use a missing set of cards for divination.
"What do you suppose it means?"
Miss Audrey was obviously absent-minded, she shouldn't have said such words at this time.
"Maybe it means that the gods will appear, and things about the great are always blank."
Jenkins babbled.
"Oh, god... this shouldn't be possible. I may have made a mistake with this card."
Miss Audrey took the result from Jenkins and explained vaguely. But no matter how you look at that expression, it seems to be overly surprised.
"Don't worry, although it cannot be explained, this is not a sign of bad luck. Your actions will be very smooth. Yes, although you will encounter some setbacks along the way, you will definitely be able to achieve your goal. Please believe in this. "
