In the spacious study room, warm yellow light shines on everyone. It was a very comfortable room, even more comfortable than Jenkins' living room. There was white steam lingering above the teacup, Chocolate looked out curiously at the night sky, only there remained unchanged.
"It's not just the power of gods. Death and life are hostile to each other and are mutually nemesis. I think the legendary world tree should be able to defeat that sword. But the world tree has long since disappeared with the elves, and according to records, the elves have not left behind The branches of the world tree are used as material to make powerful weapons."
The short lady observed Jenkins' expression as she spoke, but Jenkins, like Miss Stuart, looked regretful.
Of course he knew this, but it was a pity that there was only one dragon in the outer suburbs of Nolan, and there were no creatures with pointed ears.
The discussion about the undead and the plague made Loen's princess wish to participate in it herself. But she knew that Mr. Williams would not allow it, so before the conversation about this matter was about to end, she insisted on handing over her staff in Nolan to Jenkins.
She ordered Julia to fetch the token—a ring painted with blue paint and engraved with snowflakes, telling Jenkins how to meet those loyal people.
"Mr. Williams, this will always be useful. Please accept it. If you really don't need it, you don't have to use it."
What she said was sincere, so Jenkins hesitated to accept the ring.
When I held it in my hand, I realized that it was not blue paint at all, this ring was actually a whole piece of sapphire.
Speaking of sapphires, we have to mention the sapphire with the size of a human head commissioned by Jenkins. That was originally the core of the seal under the Snow Mountain Villa. After the sealed puppet "struggled against fate", the gems fell into Jenkins' hands.
He wasn't quite sure if it was a gem, but after nearly half a month of identification, the royal jeweler entrusted by Miss Stuart gave a definite answer:
"Some of its ingredients are indeed gems."
The sixteen-year-old girl is still intoxicated by the clear blue. At this moment, the gemstone is placed in the safe behind the bookshelf, and a red soft cushion with golden tassels is placed under the gemstone.
Chocolate looked down at the shabby cushion he was lying on, and immediately felt unhappy.
"This stone, as I shall call it for the time being. About one-third of the volume of this stone is sapphire. Mr. Williams, you can imagine a cake riddled with bullets, and the gaps in the cake are filled. It has the same color and texture as the cream, which makes it look like a cake, but it’s not quite.”
"What unknown material?"
Jenkins' tone was a little disappointed. If it wasn't a pure gem, its value might be lower.
"I don't know, and the appraiser can't give an answer. She told me that the difference between this material and sapphire can't be detected by ordinary methods. Only when you observe it against the sun can you see the clue in the shadow."
Hearing this sentence, Jenkins picked up the gem and pointed it at the crystal lamp above his head, but the shadow on the carpet did not show any abnormalities.
"Only the sun's rays will do."
Miss Stuart emphasized again, Jenkins nodded, realizing that the origin of this stone is very likely to be related to [Sun and Justice Church], he does not believe that the material is formed naturally. He wanted to put the things in his hands back into the safe, but when he lowered his head, he found that Chocolate was squatting obediently on the red cushion surrounded by golden tassels.
After agreeing to exchange the two cushions, the cat obediently came out of the safe. Jenkins wasn't going to take the stone back to Nolan, it was too dangerous. It would also look good to store it in Miss Stuart's hands for the time being and wait for the right time to retrieve it.
Of course, Her Royal Highness would not refuse to agree to this simple request, she was happy to put the beautiful things in her hands temporarily.
Tonight's gathering was not all about Jenkins. In addition to chatting with Miss Stuart about the story of Frozen for a while, Her Royal Highness also showed an interesting thing to her friends.
"Look!"
On tiptoe, Julia removed a metal box from the bookcase. It was something new at the party, and Jenkins thought it was a jewelry box or something, because it looked rich and beautiful.
Miss Stuart said the box could not be opened, and even though the clasp was unlocked, its contents could not be seen by any means.
"Yellow magic aura, such a strong light... Although it is not as good as the numbered item, at least it has been given a strong magic aura."
Several people gathered around the desk and took turns checking the details of the box. When it was Jenkins' turn, he found that in the center of the tangled, thrombus-like pattern on the box, there was a simple sentence composed of ant-sized letters:
"To the love of my life, Sylph."
"Sorry, what did you say?"
Alexia asked quietly beside Jenkins.
"I'm reading the text on it, it says gift to... oh? Elvish text?"
Just now I just saw the text subconsciously and read it out, as if Jenkins heard the bell at the door of Papa’s antique shop, he would subconsciously call out welcome; seeing the flower girl, he couldn’t help buying flowers; When you see chocolate, you can't help reaching out and touching it, which is a very normal instinctive reaction.
"Mr. Williams, do you understand Elvish?"
Julia asked from the sidelines.
"Yes... it should be."
He didn't know how to answer, so he muttered something vaguely, and asked about the origin of the thing in front of him.
The box in front of me was confiscated by Miss Stuart's servants last weekend from a peddler in the city. To be more precise, the guilty guy ran away in a panic when he saw the patrolling police officers, and he didn't even have time to clean up his own stall.
The police officers who confiscated a pile of tatters soon discovered the anomaly. Even though the box was hit by a heavy object, it was not deformed. The news was passed on layer by layer through special channels within the police system, and finally the box was delivered to Miss Stuart.
"I don't think it's a special item, I don't feel something unique to that kind of thing..."
Alexia hesitated for a few seconds before picking out a suitable description: "Mismatched with the world."
She reached out and caressed the surface of the elf on the box cover, and her eyes drifted to Jenkins:
"It's possible that this was an item used by xenos from ancient times. But the elves don't like metalwork, even if they don't use it completely. It's strange, if this is really an important gift from the elves , it should not have been kept in a metal box."
