In the garden of the church, although Chocolate jumped off Jenkins' shoulders and walked around the flower garden like patrolling the territory, he didn't seem to like these plants as much as last year.
This made Jenkins understand the cat's characteristic of liking the new and loathing the old, and worried that one day in the future, it would suddenly disappear from his side.
"Oh, sir, good afternoon!"
Finally found Fini before dinner, the girl happily greeted Jenkins, said goodbye to her companions, and walked into the corridor where Jenkins was standing.
"Happy birthday!"
He said with a smile, although in the girl's slightly panicked expression, he took out the beautifully packaged box in his pocket and handed it to her:
"birthday present."
Feeney didn't say "Are you really giving it to me?" or "No, I don't want it". She looked at Jenkins' face and hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the box. She looked like she wanted to cry, and it took a long time before she said the word "thank you".
Jenkins shook his head, then reached out and patted her on the shoulder, telling her to get ready for dinner.
The cat on the shoulder pouted.
In addition to its beautiful appearance, the pendant itself was also blessed by Jenkins. Although he didn't engrave any divine rituals, but after his personal blessing, it shouldn't be a problem to resist weaker spells or curses.
The only danger was that Jenkins was worried that he would transmit his bad luck to Fei Ni through the pendant, but there was no basis for thinking so, and Jenkins was simply worrying.
“… best wishes… thanks… sir…”
"Who is speaking?"
Not long after I said goodbye to Fei Ni, I was thinking about the evening, when a vague whisper came from my ear, but it disappeared after only a few words. Jenkins stood there vigilantly, looking around but did not find anyone nearby.
He even opened his eyes of truth, looking for suspicious lights in the golden everywhere, but found nothing.
"Chocolate, are you talking?"
In the end, I could only start to doubt my cat suspiciously.
"Meow~"
The cat is very wronged, which is a rare case of Jenkins wronging it.
The occasional auditory hallucinations made Jenkins extremely nervous, and he thought that every abnormality around him needed extra attention. But in fact, until dinner time, Jenkins, who was nervous, had no accidents, and the suspicious voice did not appear again.
He went to check his body after dinner, and even called the sage's attention, but he didn't find any curses or other dirty things on his body.
"Maybe you are really just too tired, go back and rest."
The keeper held a silver plate to persuade him that the offering that called the gods to look at just now was a silver statue on the plate, and it was said that it was an antique that had been treasured in the church for a long time.
But Jenkins can't rest yet, even though he has experienced the fight with the pistol last night and the fight with the swordman today, he still can't rest immediately.
After dinner there was a weekly arithmetic class, and because Miss Bevanna had no time this week, the fighting class was postponed again.
Leaving the church in the dark and returning to St. George Street, he immediately came to Loen again.
It was already night in the Northland, and Miss Stuart and Alexia sat on the chair by the window in the study and waited for him. The room was warm and comfortable, and there was an inexplicable floral fragrance in the air, which Jenkins liked and asked.
"Sorry, am I late?"
He put the chocolate on the table, then sat down with a long sigh. He was really exhausted. Even though being in Loen City made him feel better, his physical fatigue still couldn't be relieved.
Miss Stuart immediately gave Julia a look with her eyes, and the latter came behind Jenkins and squeezed his shoulders. Jenkins wasn't used to having people do this, but his shoulders were really sore, and carrying chocolate all day would get a little tiring, even for a light kitten.
The air condition in Ruen is much better than that of Nolan. There are no clouds in the sky tonight, and you can see the endless galaxy through the window when you turn your head. The city always makes Jenkins relax and cool down, which may have something to do with the extremely low temperature here.
"Did something happen yesterday?"
Alexia pushed the teacup in front of Jenkins, and the man nodded in thanks, but didn't want to drink water right now. He turned his head to look at the desk, very puzzled that Miss Stuart didn't do her homework tonight, but then he realized that today was Wednesday and not Tuesday, so he was relieved.
"Not only yesterday, but also today... I think you will receive the news in the early morning of tomorrow, which is really terrible."
The church has not discovered the battle that took place over the small town of Nolan last night for the time being. Although the police will report the unusual gunshots, thanks to the underdeveloped industrial level of this world, the light of oil lamps and candles is fundamental. Can't see gods or pistols flying in the night sky.
And even if someone finds out, no evidence can be found. The characteristics of that strange thing and the characteristics of the God of Lies make it impossible for witnesses to know the truth forever.
He briefly described what happened in the past few days, and at the end he couldn't help but want to raise his hand to press his temple. Jenkins was really tired, and he longed for peace, if only for a week. After the end of the year, things followed one another, and he didn't even have time to think about the third book.
"So, it is the sword that can determine the resurrection of the undead?"
Alexia didn't ask until after Jenkins had finished speaking.
"Yes, but it may be more than A-12-1-0044. That person actually used [Living Corpse Jade] as the core to make a dead body, which is enough to show that he has many terrible numbered items. I plan to use the Living Corpse Jade Continue to investigate the whereabouts of the clues, and now that this item has come to the Church of the Sages, the Church will definitely find useful information."
Alexia nodded slightly when she heard the words, squinted her eyes and looked at the vase opposite, not knowing what she was thinking. Miss Stuart was still immersed in the story just now. Yes, although she knew that it was a real event, she still regarded it as an interesting story.
"Then do you need my help? I can dispatch people to assist your investigation in Nolan City."
Speaking of this, Miss Stuart was eager to try. Julia, who rubbed Jenkins' shoulders, frowned, but said nothing.
"No, it's very generous of you, but I don't think it's needed just yet."
Jenkins waved his hand hastily, and unfortunately touched the cat's tail while rising with his right hand. It let out a dissatisfied cry, which caused the man to comfort him immediately.
PS: There is another update at noon.
