Jenkins didn't know about the father's problem, but the golden ring shone slightly in his spirit, which was the color that represented wealth.
Going home that night, Jenkins told his family about the property purchase. Old William was very happy that Jenkins could buy such a house with very few gold pounds, but he was worried about the so-called haunting.
"It's okay, I'll go to church in a few days, the bishop shouldn't mind blessing that house."
Jenkins hypocritically pulled Bishop Parode out again as an excuse.
His luggage was not much, and it was quickly packed out with the help of Mary Williams. But there was no need to move so soon, and the family decided to work together to help Jenkins relocate over the weekend.
Kitty Chocolate is still in Papa's, and Jenkins sometimes worries that it won't want to live with him in the new home, but every time he returns to the store, the cat is always very enthusiastic about him.
In fact, Jenkins also felt that there was something wrong with this enthusiasm. According to his understanding, cats should not be so easy to get close to people. But now that I have a house, a job, and a cat, I can be considered a successful person, so don't take these random guesses to heart.
Since the real estate transaction was completed thanks to Miss Mihail, Jenkins naturally wanted to give her a gift to express his affection.
Gold pounds are too vulgar, and Jenkins doesn't have much money on hand, so he can only ask his father for help. But Dad gave him big news:
"I'm back, the matter in the sea has come to an end."
"oh?"
It was Saturday morning, and Jenkins originally planned to ask his father for leave to go to the black market and hand over the huntress.
"Are you back now?"
"The ship has already set off, and it will probably return to Nolan tomorrow morning."
The old man said, then knocked on the table with his fingers, and said to Jenkins hesitantly:
"Since the incident in the open sea is over, I can also explain to you what happened: Someone found a chest from a coral reef in the Broken Isles, and there was a strange thing inside."
"Strange thing? It's dangerous, isn't it?"
Jenkins asked.
"No, it's not dangerous, but very useful, the kind of usefulness that the church would snatch even if the strength of the entire diocese was empty."
Jenkins nodded knowingly.
The old man was a little hesitant to speak. He carefully observed Jenkins' expression, and then continued: "The attack you encountered on Monday night has been identified. It is a wanted criminal who fled here. Don't worry, he has already Leaving Nolan, that accident was just an accident."
Jenkins was still thinking about what the "creepy thing" Dad was talking about, so he didn't notice the strange expression on his last sentence.
In the afternoon, I used an excuse to change the door locks and mow the lawn for my new home. Jenkins asked his father for leave, came to the black market with his remaining savings, summoned the gift of spirituality in the shadows, and then found the middleman clown who was still in the original position.
It doesn't matter if you look different, as long as you know the connection code when you left last time.
"The black raven."
He nodded to Jenkins and led him to the wool-carpeted room above the sewer pipes.
Four sofas surround a wooden round table on which burning candles are the only source of light. The woman who called herself the Huntress was already sitting there waiting for him.
"How, is there any result?"
Jenkins didn't ask until the clown disappeared under the trapdoor.
"A very powerful disguise... This matter is more troublesome than I imagined."
The huntress' voice was a little hoarse, "I found out that among the houses that were burnt down, one was a local secret stronghold of the [Sun and Justice] church thirty years ago, and it involved the Orthodox Church. Those materials Very difficult to collect."
Jenkins smiled regretfully, but definitely wouldn't pay an extra copper penny for it.
She picked up the stack of paper documents beside her and put it on the round table, but instead of pushing it to Jenkins, she pressed it tightly with her left hand, raised her extremely ordinary face and looked at Jenkins.
Jenkins nodded knowingly, and pushed the remaining 15 pounds of the transaction to her.
For the rest of the time, the huntress waited quietly for Jenkins to ask questions after reading the information.
While Jenkins' request was to survey all the homes that had burned, he was targeting just one. To do a full set of dramas, you have to read all the materials.
Because of the city's size and population, it is impossible for any city to accommodate all the Orthodox churches. Therefore, according to the "High Tower Agreement" (revised version 3) thousands of years ago, the 12 Orthodox churches are fairly evenly distributed throughout the area. On the mainland, it is adjusted every 100 years according to population migration and urban development.
But this does not mean that churches that are not in the city will not intervene with their own influence, such as the [Sun and Justice] Church that once occupied the burned house, which was the stronghold of their spies more than 50 years ago.
Thirty years ago, the great plague that spread across the entire continent did not have much impact on Nolan City, but the church's personnel were still transferred from here, and then this stronghold was abandoned.
Incidentally, it was because of the plague that Jenkins' father, Robert Williams, escaped to Nolan alone by boat from a distant hometown when he was young, and settled down, married a local girl and had his current family.
The house once occupied by the believers of [Eternal Blazing Sun] was the house where Jenkins dug out the hexahedron metal block. Going back further, due to the long history and the turmoil caused by war and plague, the specific owner of the house has been unable to find out; and going back, until the house is occupied by the smuggler Mr. Brown, its owners are completely ordinary people.
Jenkins was almost certain that what he got should be the items left over from the [Sun and Justice] church when it occupied it.
"Is there a problem?"
Seeing Jenkins put down the file, the huntress asked.
He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Is that all? It's not what I thought..."
"I can guarantee that with the same amount of gold pounds, it is absolutely impossible for you to find out more information in Nolan City."
The woman's voice was full of confidence, but when she changed her voice, she mentioned another matter: "Actually, I did encounter a very strange thing during the investigation, but it has nothing to do with the matter you requested to investigate. So you don't need to know."
"You are compulsively consuming..."
Jenkins made a gesture to get up and leave: "I won't spend extra pounds on things I don't need to know."
"It's related to the recent haunting, are you interested in knowing?"
PS: @{"reader_id": "1496921", "reader_name": "How the bright moon shines on the ditch"}, I met a local tyrant. The bounty plus update is officially over, there are enough chapters for 30 chapters, and the update will be added when it is released.
When I posted the reward, I thought this book was out of date, but I didn't expect that the editor of Orange would give such a good recommendation. When the time comes, I will discuss with the editor whether to post it once or in two.
Crying to death, the saved manuscript is exhausted, I'm going to code, bye.
Another: Change the update time in the future, from 6:30 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon.
