Jenkins has never heard about the title of knighthood from Bishop Parrod or anyone else. It seems that the royal family has made such a decision in the near future. After all, it has only been a month since Jenkins "revealed" the Fabry scam.
He fully believed in Miss Stuart's conclusion, but he didn't show much concern for being promoted to the title. After all, he does not intend to develop in the mundane world at all, and now the blessing of the Sage Church is enough.
On the contrary, if you get too involved in mortal affairs, you will cause yourself a lot of trouble.
The peaceful Wednesday began with new news from the church, the latest results showing that the woman who killed and ate Mr. Stein's eccentricity did not come from external modification, but from her own ancestors who had magical bloodlines.
"The church traced back her family history, and finally found out that her great-great-grandmother came from a small kingdom called Hex in the south. Her family is a well-known nobleman in the kingdom, and the investigation revealed that their ancestors were related to alien species, The blood of the family is mingled with a thin, inhuman element."
This is the news that the old man brought back from the church, and the further conclusion is that the accident was not man-made, but an accidental awakening of the ancient blood.
Although the probability is very low, this kind of thing has not never happened. Before the heterogeneous species disappeared from the material world, it was common for humans to have mixed blood for various reasons. This has led to the fact that until now, many people trace their blood and can still be connected with some strange creatures. And once those alien forces reappear, the fragile spirit of mortals cannot control them, and it will evolve into the current tragedy.
Jenkins has heard of such cases in the past, and Dad has emphasized more than once that the past era still affects today. And this incident made Jenkins realize this firsthand.
As for the young lovers who attempted to elope, Jenkins would naturally not forget them. Ms. Garcia and Rick are still under the supervision of the Church of the Sages. Jenkins met the two of them underground in the church after work ended on Wednesday, taking advantage of the evening class not starting.
It wasn't a small room like a prison. In fact, it was no different from a small hotel except that it couldn't see the sun and the range of activities was restricted. The church provides shelter, food and even newspapers, and does not take their gold pounds.
According to regulations, ordinary people who know the other side of the world like this should be placed in another city for confidential training. The reason why the two can stay for one more day is because of Jenkins' face.
When I saw Miss Rick and Garcia again, although they looked a bit haggard, they were in good condition. The meeting place was in the basement room of the small white building behind the courtyard, very close to where Jenkins first met Captain Bincy and signed the agreement.
Jenkins has to admit the meeting was awkward, especially on a Sunday night. Although the accident was not caused by Jenkins, Jenkins still thinks that what he did was unethical, but he did not make a mistake.
"Is it because I was supposed to send them on the train and ended up sending them here?"
Jenkins can only think so.
"I… "
"You don't have to feel guilty, it's not your fault."
Garcia used honorifics, and he showed an attitude almost panicked. The three sat on opposite sides of the table, and there should have been guards standing by to monitor the conversation, but Jenkins was privileged here.
"At least we did achieve our goal."
Garcia added.
He was right, but the goal was achieved, but the destination was wrong.
"No matter how you say this matter, it has something to do with me."
Jenkins carefully considered his words, and did not look at the faces of the two opposite people:
"I told Britney and Hathaway that you have already boarded the train, but now... But don't worry, this is not the previous era. The church will give you your freedom in about half a year, and guarantee that you will be free for the rest of your life. Will not be returning to this city."
By "freedom" I mean "limited freedom," and Jenkins believes they understand that.
"But Mr. Williamett, we really didn't expect that the world is so... complicated."
Miss Rick did not show Garcia's panic, but her mood was obviously more complicated.
"Does Britney know about you?"
She got to the point right away. As a good friend of Britney Mihail, she knew how obsessed her friend was with mystery.
"have no idea."
"Oh, that's how it is… "
Rick shook his head and said nothing more.
The meeting lasted only ten minutes, and the three of them could no longer find anything to talk about. Jenkins got up and left after reassuring them that they would be safe and hinting that he could mention his name in case of trouble.
He feels that this is a bit like visiting a prison, but the church is only supervision, not imprisonment, and he believes this.
Before Jenkins left, Miss Rick faltered and asked him to deliver a letter to her home. Although Jenkins readily agreed, he immediately flipped through the contents when he got back to the ground, and asked the young gatekeeper with the detection ability to check whether there were hidden contents on the letter paper.
The content of the letter is very simple, just telling the family that everything is safe and there is nothing to worry about. Maybe Miss Rick originally planned to quietly post the letter back home after arriving in another city and settling down, but now there is no such opportunity. Knowing this made Jenkins feel even more uncomfortable.
Chocolate sweeps the back of the man's neck with his tail, but it does nothing to comfort him.
Thinking of the letter, Jenkins remembered that he had to forge the letter that the two reported to Hathaway and Britney that they were safe. This is also a very troublesome thing, but he has to do it so that the lie will not be exposed.
The moonlight emerged from behind the clouds, illuminating the city below, and there were some unquiet people active in the silent night. After Jenkins finished the evening class and Miss Bevanna's evening class, he gave Finny a basic grammar lesson.
After he came to this world, because he had to adapt to the literary routines of this era, he had to dabble in a lot of knowledge in this area, so it was no problem to make up lessons for this girl who couldn't even read all the words.
It was almost twelve o'clock when this series of things was done, and he sent Fenny back to the dormitory of the children in the choir. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to rest in the church instead of going back to St. George Street.
Chocolate was perfectly fine with that, the cat was happy with church meals.
PS: Ahhh, I set the wrong time. Feel sorry! Three plus one more.
