In the small kitchen, Hathaway explained things about [Player] incoherently, but still didn't mention what Jenkins was most concerned about - what is the use of this ability.
And the information I have learned so far is also very scary, because this ability is actually related to the [Wonderful Movement] that masters the priesthood of music.
This really scared Jenkins into a cold sweat. The drop of divinity in the Shire Cemetery had already made him suspect that this gentle god of music was plotting a complex and secret conspiracy around him. Now that he has learned that the inexplicable ability is related to it, Jenkins is almost certain that the appearance of [Player] must also be the work of this god.
Of course, he guessed wrong.
"No matter what, I must go to Shire City within a month, and take another look at the tomb and the corpse in the tomb!"
He made up his mind, only to feel another pair of invisible eyes watching him behind him. The hairs on his back stood up, and the more he experienced this feeling, the more terrifying the owner of those eyes became.
He turned his head tremblingly, only to see chocolate standing on the second floor of the cupboard looking at him with an unhappy face. The cat ran there at some point.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing that Jenkins' face was a little pale, Hathaway asked with concern.
"nothing?"
Jenkins shook his head violently. The girl in front of him was a believer in the God of Music, and he couldn't express his guess in front of her.
"So, what is the role of the performer's ability?"
It is impossible for him to forward the letter to [Wan Miao Le Zhang] for the name of the Holy Son, after all, he is the Holy Son now. And Hathaway had this idea in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Now Jenkins has a bright future, and he believes in righteous gods.
"Those who have the gift of the performer will gain extra talent in music."
It's a very simple explanation, and it also explains why this ability is very important for believers of [Wonderful Music]. But for Jenkins, this thing has no effect other than occupying his precious ability slot.
"Speaking of which, did I forget to apply for [Blessing of Books]?"
He suddenly thought, and then Hathaway pulled him closer to the conversation.
"I know this looks useless, but Jenkins, I hope you don't think about throwing it away."
With that said, Hathaway stood up and went around the dining table to Jenkins' side, and knelt down in front of the man with questioning eyes on one knee.
The morning breeze blew into the small kitchen through the gap in the window, the curtains fluttered in the faint morning light, and the particles of dust in the air were clearly visible. The young girl with red hair knelt on one knee in front of the blond boy at the table, raised her head, grabbed his right hand and kissed him lightly.
Jenkins felt himself suffocating.
"[Player] is something I have been dreaming of since I stepped into the extraordinary road. I will not ask you to keep this ability, but Jenkins, for me, [Player] is equivalent to half a belief, which is the pursuit of music. I don’t want to see it being discarded by you like garbage, even if [Player] is really useless to you... "
"I… "
"Don't talk, Jenkins, please listen to me."
She held Jenkins' hand and looked up at the man from below. Instead of showing humbleness, this action has an indescribable sense of sacredness.
Her body seemed to be emitting a little light against the morning light, while Jenkins was always on guard against being kissed again, which was something that all the girls he knew would do.
"I won't ask you so selfishly. Please listen to me, the most special thing about [Player] is the story between it and the origin of music. Although this story is not widely circulated, almost everyone thinks it is Really.
Legends and time endow concepts with power, thoughts and cognition endow mundane with extraordinary, and [player] therefore possesses the ability to accumulate spirits. As long as you engage in music-related activities, this ability will continue to store spirits for you. "
She paused, lowered her head and put her forehead on the back of Jenkins' hand, feeling the man's trembling body:
"I beg you, don't give up this ability. Maybe this is not the path you choose, but I will spend my life leading you to explore all the mysteries of music until you are really tired of these...or tired of me. Please promise Me, Jenkins Redandput Williamette."
Obviously the two were talking about ability, but Jenkins felt like it was a marriage proposal. He was breathing very unevenly, his head seemed to be rusted, unable to think of a solution to the current predicament.
His hand wanted to break free from Hathaway's grip, but Hathaway kept holding on and refused to let go.
"I, I know, yes, I will not discard this ability. My guide also advised me in the same way. He thinks that the appearance of this ability is extremely strange. After investigating the truth, it is best to keep it. I… "
He is determined to tell part of the truth in order to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.
"Actually, I'm already level four now, and I still have a lot of abilities that I can use. If [Player] is really that useful, I won't discard it. And B-12-4-4432 [Water of the Styx] is also very difficult. Buy it, even if I don’t want it, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
When I first met Hathaway, the level gap between the two was very large, but now they are at the same level. Hathaway still remembers what Mr. Candle said to Jenkins:
[It's just a first-level gifter.]
"Already level four?"
She looked up at Jenkins again, and Jenkins looked down just then. The eyes of the two met, and the girl felt as if an electric current was hitting her heart.
She shuddered, then tried to stand up. But because he kept kneeling on one knee for too long, his legs were numb and he almost fell forward.
Fortunately, Jenkins was always ready to prevent being forced to kiss, so he helped her up as soon as she fell, and successfully prevented the accidental kiss from happening.
"you… "
"I know that I didn't use any suspicious methods to increase my spirit. I also know that those methods may cause the bestower's spirit to be permanently damaged, or even go crazy."
He read the admonition Hathaway wanted to say, and while speaking, he put her on the chair and sat down again.
"I really don't know what to say, Jenkins."
The red-haired girl said the words again, but this time she voluntarily let go of Jenkins' hand.
