"Meow~"
It called softly, and instead of jumping back to the small cardboard box with the spread, it went straight into Jenkins' quilt.
Hiding the kitten in his arms and smuggling it out of the house, Jenkins came to Papa's antique shop early. In order to bring the kitten into the car, Jenkins not only guaranteed that it would not excrete pollutants, but also paid an extra 3p.
"How was the reading salon last night?"
Dad asked as soon as he met.
“A bit boring, but good pastries and drinks, I love a fluffy white pastry that…”
Jenkins, holding the cat, shrugged, but was cut off by Pop.
"that's all?"
"Oh, and."
Jenkins said seriously: "When we were telling a story last night, there was a ghost-like thing peeping at us from the window, but I don't know who repelled it afterwards."
There's no need to betray Miss Hesha, Jenkins still doesn't know whether she is also a gifted person of the church, or if she just happened by chance. But the latter is more likely.
"It should be a certain guard. It's not uncommon for noble families to hire a gifted person to protect themselves. That's it?"
"Oh, and, when I got home last night, I was attacked."
Only then did the old man give up asking about Jenkins' communication questions, "Assault?"
"Yes."
He carefully told his father what happened last night, but it was a pity that the assailant's appearance was completely covered up.
"I see, you will write this matter down later, and I will submit it to the church for you. The ability he uses is very similar to the white basic ability [hat trick], and we need to confirm it."
"Could it be the murderer who killed the [Death and the End] church gifter?"
Jenkins asked.
"Probably not, the means are different, and he has no reason to let you go so easily."
The old man looked thoughtful, "However, we should pay more attention to the evil spirit you mentioned. This kind of thing is not powerful, but it is also very deadly to ordinary people."
Jenkins nodded in understanding, "Look at this little guy."
He introduced the kitten to his father, "I picked it up on the street when I came home last night. I thought it was cute, so I took it home. I haven't moved to a new house yet, and I can't keep cats at home. The old man Can dad temporarily adopt it?"
The old man reached out to stroke the kitten's fur, but was easily avoided: "As long as it doesn't mess around with things and doesn't defecate indoors, it's fine to have a cat. But are you sure it will be willing to follow me?"
The kitten obviously didn't like the old man very much, and meowed at him a few times with its teeth and claws, and then jumped to Jenkins again.
"Intelligence looks pretty good, at least knowing people. I've heard ladies who have cats say that cats are different from dogs. They don't love home."
"I don't know that."
The old man continued to look through the ledger in his hand, which was the recent expenses in the store. Dad's Antique Store is a typical store that has been open for three years. As long as a deal can be reached, even if there is no business for a week, it will still make money.
Not to mention, Dad's delivery method is not just in the store. He knows a lot of black market and private buyers.
"By the way, dad, I've always wanted to ask you, are there any non-human intelligent races in this world?"
When it comes to animal intelligence, Jenkins just thought of that.
"have."
Dad replied in a muffled voice.
"Didn't A-10-2-9116, which was taken away by the man in black a few days ago, show a demon?"
"Is that really a demon?"
"That's not clear. In this era, non-human intelligent creatures are rarely seen in this world. It is recorded in the book that the characteristics of demons are black hair and black pupils, scorched skin, and a strong sulfur smell on their bodies. First-born with crooked horns, good at killing, and I don’t know anything else. The book I asked you to take home has an introduction, and it’s turned back to page 321. I don’t know much more than that.”
"The legendary elves, goblins, vampires and other creatures, do they also exist?"
"Yes, they are all real. But like demons, these creatures have completely disappeared in this era, and there are very few traces of them in written records."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
The old man looked up at him, "Do you think that the old man is an antique that has lived for thousands of years?"
Jenkins laughed a few times, patted the kitten on the head to let it play by itself, and he continued to transcribe the tadpole text 100 times.
"But I really don't know how old my father is."
Jenkins thought to himself.
At the beginning of the journey, he also looked up things about these mythical creatures, but with his current authority, he could see not much information. But it is also clear that, unlike human beings, all the above creatures are unnaturally formed.
According to the meager information, there are some extremely special types of chain abilities that can change races, and this is the way mythical creatures are produced.
The number of bubbles occupied by this special ability is very large. Jenkins did not find out the specific number, but it would not be less than five. The advantage is that once an ability chain is formed and the race and appearance are changed, many special abilities can be permanently possessed.
But the way to learn these abilities has long been lost, so the so-called mythical creatures have also disappeared.
Of course, Jenkins also saw a saying that creatures such as demons, elves, goblins, etc. are not native natural creatures, but natural creatures from other worlds. The bestowers rely on obtaining their tokens to hold ceremonies and obtain chain abilities. This is an incomplete book without a cover. When Jenkins wants to look for it the next day, The book disappeared from the same location in the church's library.
What this means is self-evident. At that time, Jenkins didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't continue to pursue it. But now it seems that these strange races also have deep secrets behind them, which may involve the mystery of the end of the era.
Perhaps Professor Burns would know something.
Mr. Burrow sent Jenkins a letter this morning stating that his Stranger Tales had been very successful in the stores, and that he would be visiting Jenkins again on Tuesday of this week, which is tomorrow. On the one hand, we need to give him the first batch of sales revenue, and on the other hand, we need to discuss long-term cooperation and reprinting.
Jenkins' relocation plan was on the verge of success.
Now he has developed the habit of reading newspapers every day, and he has also found some apartments with more suitable rents and locations, and he is ready to take a look when he has money.
There was still no business in the antique shop, because he was going to attend the professor's party in the evening, so Jenkins gave up his plan to go to the church under repair to check the information, maybe he could find the record of the earring.
