"Is Miss Bevanna's injury fully healed?"
The flames of the fireplace reflected his young profile, and Jenkins was concerned in passing.
"I don't know, maybe you can ask yourself."
Captain Bincy replied.
After getting off work, I bid farewell to my father, and instead of going home to eat, I found a nearby restaurant. After dinner, I took a carriage to Sophie Stu Avenue, where Nesser Burrow United Books is located.
He was worried about being recognized, so he put on a black robe before entering the bookstore.
As Mr. Brow said, Jenkins' book is front and center, visible from the window outside the store. As the evening approached, the number of people in the bookstore also increased, and Jenkins observed that most of them would stop for a while in front of "Frozen".
He wasn't sure if it was because of the well-composed cover or because his name was in the foreground, maybe both.
"Oh, William's new book."
When Jenkins stood there looking at the cover of the book, the passing guests murmured softly, which sounded a bit mocking. Jenkins, who is sort of a celebrity by now, was not surprised that this happened.
Of course, the passers-by would not know who the fat middle-aged man beside him was, but he also stopped and looked at the row of books being displayed. Jenkins squinted at him. At first glance, he only felt a little familiar. It took a few seconds for him to remember that the two had met once a few months ago.
That seemed to be a memory from a long time ago. Miss Mihail invited him to participate in the reading salon held by the devil, and besides Jenkins, there were many other writers present.
A handful of them were rather unkind to him as a fledgling because of female companions and other reasons, including a man with a moustache. Although the two mustaches are gone now, Jenkins still remembers him, and his masterpiece is "Romance at Court".
It is worth mentioning that Jenkins later found out that this is a pornographic novel. Miss Michel and Miss Hesha, who were not yet acquainted with each other at that time, advised him not to associate with such a person.
"Since he can appear here, it means that although he participated in that reading salon, the church still believes that he has nothing to do with the twin demons."
He made an inference in his heart, and originally planned to leave now, but since he met an interesting person, it's better to stop and listen to his opinion.
"Williamette?"
Jenkins imitated the tone of the man just now and repeated: "Huh, but a lucky guy. I don't want to criticize the church, but I think anyone who has the knowledge and support of the church will be so successful."
In order to avoid making the mistake of talking shallowly, he purposely spoke in an extremely low voice. Moreover, he took a step forward, pretending not to see that there was someone behind the right side of his body.
Sure enough, the man behind him took the bait:
"You're quite right that Williamette's success is not his success."
Jenkins immediately turned around in surprise, as if he realized that there was someone behind him. But his expression soon became calm again, because the person behind him had the same opinion as himself.
"Do you think so too
Jenkins asked.
"Of course, to tell you the truth, sir, I even knew this famous young writer."
"Famous" here should be ironic.
"You can't imagine what's the reason for his success? Maybe everyone won't believe it, but before last summer, he was just a little punk running around in the streets, heh~ Then somehow he became the owner of an antique shop The apprentice, and tricked the two noble ladies with sweet words, and only then did he climb up the relationship with the church and gain his current reputation."
Jenkins didn't know where he heard these things, the logical order was completely wrong.
"Miss Noble?"
He made a rhetorical question again, and then asked himself and answered: "If it is true, it would be too enviable. Williamette's luck is indeed good."
As he spoke, he exaggeratedly raised his right hand:
"Poor boy and noble lady, interesting topic."
"Hmph~ lucky."
The person next to him said with a half-smile, he wanted to say something sarcastic, but he saw the middle-aged fat man who was speaking together stooped to pick up one of the books.
"Don't you like Williams too?"
"Of course. But I'm really interested in this person now. I'm going to buy this book. Maybe I can research the source of his good luck."
After speaking, regardless of the reaction of the person behind him, he went directly to the counter to pay.
(Chocolate is running... )
Miss Bevanna's injuries are probably completely healed, at least Jenkins can't see the bruises on her arms caused by divine power with the naked eye.
When we met in her office, the woman was working on some paperwork with her head down, making Jenkins wait a moment.
She also told Jenkins that what happened in Blizzard Mountain was now being dealt with. Among them, the Kingdom of Cheslan is ready to pay the bounty after obtaining the body of the key keeper buried in the snow disaster, that is, the serial killer, while the investigation of the doctor in the villa has reached a deadlock.
On the one hand, the documents Jenkins handed over were not rare necronomic documents, which greatly hindered the investigation using them as clues; on the other hand, the apartment that Mr. The entire building collapsed due to the heavy rain, and the landlord's family was killed in the accident. What's worse, the apartment's accommodation records were missing, and now no one knows who left those things in the wall.
In addition, since Jenkins did not report anything about Quick and his body was missing, the police directly judged him as dead.
But Quick's father, the old earl who is now far away in Beldyland, said that he did not accept this result at all, because Franklin Quick was the only son of the fifty-year-old man and the only one in the entire Quick family. heir.
"Wait, you dirty people, you despicable murderers, wait, wait for the Quake family's revenge!"
These are what Miss Bevanna said, the original words of Earl Quick.
"So what does he want to do?"
Jenkins asked.
"The church doesn't care what he wants to do, and you don't have to worry. Even if he wants revenge, he won't come to you. After all, the organizer and venue provider of that trip are not you. The kingdom will appease Earl Quick Emotions, I hope he will not do irrational things."
Miss Bevanna didn't continue, but since she had indicated that the kingdom was paying close attention to him, it meant that the kingdom knew that the old earl might do irrational things.
PS: The focus of the intermission is not what Jenkins experienced, but what happened to Jenkins. Please remember the three murderers in the intermission: the doctor who accidentally obtained necronomic information in Shire, the key keeper of the murderer half a century ago, and the noble Quek who knew demons and vampires at the same time.
All three will have an impact on the story of this volume.
The next strange scene will probably be arranged after chapter 30.
