Speaking of Skrull Pompeii and his skull sword, Captain Bincy couldn't help covering his face and rubbing his palms violently:
"We haven't found his hiding place so far. The only progress we have made is about the living corpse jade. Based on what you and Miss Audrey found, we started our investigation again following the clues of that strange object, and found Wilkawang... OK Well, we know his real name is Skrull Pompeii. Skrull Pompeii went to Nolan three years ago and bought the jade from the thrift store we investigated last year. "
"What did he come to Nolan three years ago? Just for that piece of jade?"
"This is the focus of the investigation now. Do you know Miss Broniance? She is a demigod from the church of [Fate and Law]. Thanks to her presence, the investigation on the skull sword can make progress."
The two were talking about the recent events in Nolan along the way, but it wasn't until they turned into the street where the church was located that Jenkins knew that the local demigods didn't seem to be active recently.
"The demigods are now dealing with the affairs of the mirror world. Oh, I remembered, it seems that you also reported the affairs of the mirror world to the church."
The cause of this incident was the circus that Jenkins encountered during his travels in Beldyland. The main members of the circus are all high-level gifters, the only low-level magician, and coincidentally met Jenkins in the event of the "Mutual Aid Group for Spiritual Events", so they got involved in the mirror world.
"It's about as busy as it was last year with the gear bug outbreak, if not busier than that."
Having said that, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh. The carriage stopped at the door of the church smoothly, and the two looked at the flow of people entering and leaving the door of the church.
It was late at night, and Jenkins had never seen so many people in the church at this time.
"Oh, sage, it looks like something has happened again! Jenkins, you go straight to the Keeper, I think I'm going to work."
After finishing speaking, Captain Bincy got out of the carriage and ran to his team members. Jenkins took the cat to the door and looked around for a while at the assembled team before he lifted his legs and stepped into the eternally sacred and solemn church.
Although the entrance was messy, the interior of the church remained quiet. When Jenkins came to the Gate of Vientiane through the revolving stairs, he saw all three keepers there at the same time.
"Long time no see Jenkins, is the trip going well?"
Mr. Smith greeted him, and seeing the suspicious look on the young man's face, he explained:
"This is a special period, and the guardians of the Gate of Vientiane must be more cautious. I heard that you are in Shire..."
Bishop Parode had already gone to rest without seeing Father or Miss Bevanna in the church. Knowledge spoke with the Keepers of the discovery in the Shire, and returned to St. George's Street in a carriage.
After spending the night in a daze like this, when he woke up from the fireplace on Thursday morning, Jenkins was still thinking about what he had done this month.
He was woken up by Chocolate's tiny paws. The cat didn't go directly to scratch Jenkins' face, but quickly scratched the quilt with its paws and made a noise. That way, even if Jenkins gets angry after being woken up, Chocolate has plenty of time to escape.
He was in a daze the whole morning, until he saw the letter from Privet Drive in the mailbox, and he suddenly woke up.
"Today is the last day of this month..."
Jenkins once again felt the malice from life. Looking at Robert's words in the letter, he went through the girls he could invite in his mind, and finally chose Hathaway. As for the reason, of course it was because of the dream.
"It's just a simple family dinner, it doesn't mean anything."
He said a sentence that he didn't believe at all. After breakfast, he took his coat from the door, and set out with chocolates to pick up the jewelry from the jeweler.
"No no no."
As he spoke, he retreated back to the hallway, reached out to hang the black coat on the hanger again, and then took out a thinner coat and put it on.
Even though I've only been away from Nolan for a week, spring is here.
Fog shrouded the city in early spring. It was supposed to be a sunny Thursday morning, but I couldn't see any sunshine when I walked on the street.
There are very few pedestrians, and most of them are in a hurry. The carriage broke through the fog and drove out of the thick fog behind it, and then quickly drove into the more distant fog.
Jenkins raised his hand and pressed his hat, and walked slowly behind the wandering chocolate. Today, the cat was rarely willing to move by itself, and Jenkins felt very relieved, so even though St. George Street and the old craftsman's shop were a little far away, he did not choose a carriage.
"I'm going to have dinner tonight, I'm going to inform Hathaway now, isn't it a bit late?"
He muttered in his heart, and suddenly an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.
The premonition was so sudden that Jenkins believed it was not a hallucination but a hint of inspiration.
"Don't make any problems. If there is a problem, I will be in big trouble."
Thinking to himself, he stretched out his hand to grab a handful in the air. Of course he couldn't catch anything, after all, the fog is not solid or liquid.
But in such low visibility conditions, it is quite dangerous to suddenly reach out to the side. Jenkins didn't notice someone running past behind him in a hurry, and raised his hand to hit that person on the shoulder.
Pedestrians passing by didn't care, and ran away in a hurry without even listening to Jenkins' apology.
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
He muttered and continued to walk forward, the cat leading the way with its tail flicking. Jenkins believes the cat knows its way perfectly, much better than a human.
"After visiting Hathaway in a while, let's go to the church to take a look. Maybe we can meet Dad, he probably doesn't know that I'm back."
"Meow~"
Chocolate means it doesn't matter.
One person, one cat, one front, one back, walked forward step by step. When they came to the block near the river bank, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
After bypassing the steam valve blowing out by the wall, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the front, and when he got closer, he found two men pushing each other on the side of the street. Judging from their clothes, one of them should be the passing man that Jenkins accidentally hit just now, and the other middle-aged man, who was slightly older, said words like "late", "performance" and "dismissal" with an angry expression on his face .
"Looks like it's still late."
Jenkins muttered in his heart, then bypassed the two and continued walking through the thick fog.
