Although Zombie Baoyu had been involved with Jenkins, Dad forbade Jenkins from participating in the investigation. In order to divert his attention, he specifically found two thick books "Advanced Appraisal of Metal Products: Antiques Around Us" and "Teaching You to Use the Flame Ritual Skillfully", and asked Jenkins to hand in his reading notes on Sunday.
But it's Friday, which means Jenkins has absolutely no time to do anything else these days.
"Have you considered going on vacation recently?"
Dad suddenly asked, realizing that keeping Jenkins away from Nolan for a short time seemed to be good for everyone.
"I want to go to Shire to have a look, and visit Old Jack by the way. Do you still remember the woman who revived the ancient blood? I want to ask Old Jack about the potion."
Dad hesitated when he heard this. Although this incident may still cause Jenkins to get into trouble, it is at least much less dangerous than A-12-1-0044 [Skull Sword of the Revenant].
Therefore, he warmly recommended Jenkins to leave next week, and did not forget to ask him to find time to check the nearest train ticket.
"Perhaps you can spend a few more days in the Sharre. Old Jack will like you."
Dad kindly suggested.
But whether or not Jenkins is heading out next week, he's not done with today's work. Although there were no customers throughout the morning, he had to supervise the workers to reinstall the glass of the window.
By the time things were over, it was already around half past eleven. But the streets were still foggy, and it was already noon.
During lunch, Dad and Jenkins chatted about undead. Undead is a very general term, and theoretically, any monster that is revived from a corpse can be called undead. The real necromancer is not superficial manipulation of corpses, it is the knowledge of exploring the mystery of death.
Of course, Dad is not an expert in this field. In fact, he is only a little higher than Jenkins in knowledge about the undead. But the old man recommended a lot of books to Jenkins for reference. He is now a third-level benefactor, and can enter a deeper position in the secret library.
Probably because of the big event that happened yesterday, today's Nolan City is unusually peaceful. A day at Papa's Antiques hadn't been a hassle, and while there hadn't been any business done today, Jenkins was glad that everything went well when he went out to deliver mail for Pa.
After leaving work with a happy mood, he didn't go home immediately after saying goodbye to his father, but took a carriage to a tavern on the outskirts of the city.
The tavern is hidden in a very inconspicuous location in the alley, so there are not many customers inside. After Jenkins opened the door, he saw Professor Burns sitting against the wall. The professor was now wearing an old-fashioned blue shirt with a check, and his formal suit was draped over the back of the chair behind him. Judging from the style of the clothes, this is the clothes he only wears in class, and the professor probably came over immediately after class.
In addition to wine glasses, on the table in front of him were three seasoning bottles commonly found in home kitchens.
"Professor, long time no see!"
Jenkins walked over quickly, greeted him and went to the bar to order some drinks and food. Of course, I can't forget the hot milk with chocolate, it always likes such things.
"Long time no see, Jenkins."
The professor asked Jenkins to sit down, and motioned him to look at the three seasoning bottles in front of him.
"Refined salt, bad sugar cubes, and flour, which do you think I should choose?"
"Should choose... um? Flour?"
Jenkins was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"
"I ordered steak just now. I heard that besides salt or sugar, it is also a popular way to eat flour recently."
"Where did you hear that?"
Jenkins said, pointing to the bottle of salt, the professor nodded and put the other two bottles back into the brown leather briefcase.
"What my students say seems to be a new way of eating from Saddle County, which is weird, isn't it?"
"It's really weird. Today's young people like to pursue weird things to show their individuality, but they don't realize the light in their souls. The focus is not on those strange behaviors."
"That's right!"
The professor clapped his hands across from Jenkins, then leaned back and let the waiter bring their food.
"Speaking of which, Professor, why did you bring these condiments with you?"
Chocolate has gone to that glass of milk.
"There have been some accidents recently."
As he said that, he smiled embarrassedly: "I was too careless, a curse is attached to me. It temporarily degrades my sense of taste, and now I have to prepare extra condiments to make these foods taste better .”
He shook the salt shaker vigorously, letting the fine particles fall on the steak. Today, the development of the steam industry has also led to the development of other industries. According to Jenkins' understanding, the price of salt has been greatly reduced compared to a hundred years ago.
However, such refined salt used by professors is still extremely expensive, which shows that the income of professors is actually not low.
The two met here today for Mr. Corpse's party this month. Jenkins didn't attend in January due to scheduling conflicts, but he doesn't seem to be giving up on the party, which is why he's here tonight.
On the way to the abandoned hospital outside the city, the two talked about what happened yesterday. The professor had also heard the news of the reappearance of the deadly sword. Thirty years ago when the plague was raging, he was already middle-aged, so he could better understand the terrible situation at that time.
At the same time, the professor also described what happened after Jenkins escaped for the first time in the alley. No one expected that Will Kawan could slip away from so many demigods.
"It's very dangerous. Miss Bevanna thinks that man's level is still very low, and he can do such a thing at this time. But once he reaches a new level as time goes by, Nolan City will face Against a far more formidable foe."
But it is a pity that because the tornado destroyed most of the evidence, the church did not know the reason why Wilkawang appeared there and fought against the believers of the God of Lies. In other words, except for Jenkins, no one knew that Will Kawang met with someone in the hotel not far from the alley and discussed some secrets.
So, the young duke from a foreign country was barely lucky to escape.
"But I will report him when I go back, so that their conspiracy cannot be carried out."
Jenkins thought in his heart, feeling that this was an act of justice, maybe he could learn the true identity of Wilkawang from the Duke.
