The three Miss Magic, who were also gifters, were equally alert, and Jenkins did not deliberately cover up the sound of footsteps. They easily found themselves being followed after a few minutes. After a series of vigilance and probing, I saw two people with strange faces standing across the street, but the cat was not unfamiliar at all.
"Mr. Candle?"
Mr. White Cat asked tentatively.
"it's me."
Jenkins nodded, and released his purple soul emblem to confirm his identity. The corner of Julia's eyes twitched, she clearly remembered that the soul emblem of Jenkins Williams was a growing young tree. Regarding the mutation of the small tree, the four of them discussed it on Tuesday night a few days ago.
"Who is this… "
Miss Magic trusts Jenkins quite a bit, but not the strangers around him.
"My friend, I just came out to walk the cat with me, and then I saw you walking in a hurry on the street... What happened? Speaking of which, Mr. Hood's party has not been held for a long time."
"Actually, I was guessing just now, will you suddenly jump out of nowhere and surprise us..."
Miss Magic spoke with a smile, but quickly turned serious again:
"We are indeed in trouble. Something happened to Mr. Hood. He sent me a message for help. I couldn't find anyone in a short time, so I had to take Mr. Silver Flute and Mr. White Cat, who happened to be in the black market, to help. ... want to come together?"
The statement was not forced, and Jenkins certainly weighed in. Whether or not it had anything to do with the Skull Sword, he didn't want Mr. Hood really dead.
"Of course, I think my cat-walking time is over. You can go back."
He suddenly turned his head and said to Julia, the maid nodded silently, and was not angry at Jenkins' impolite command tone.
"Okay, Mr. Candle, I look forward to seeing you again."
As he said that, his figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely as if he had melted into the mist.
"Very well, let's go."
He petted his cat, and then spoke to the other three friends.
Chocolate was still a little unhappy, but since Julia was invited tonight instead of other women, and he was the one who accompanied Jenkins in the end, then this matter was considered complete.
Thinking of this, the cat's mood returned to normal, and it even stood on its shoulder and gently touched the back of the man's neck with its tail, acting like a baby.
In this way, except for the temporary "victim" Mr. Hood and Miss Lark Hathaway who is really not in Nolan, everyone in the small party was so miraculously assembled.
Miss Magic was the only one who knew the details. On the way, she told Miss Silver Flute and Mr. White Cat again what she had told them.
"Mr. Hood is trapped in a suburban cemetery. It's not the cemetery blessed by [The Church of Death and the Last Day], but the cemetery in the Black Forest in the Great Plains area southwest of the city. Oh, you're not from Nolan, May not know, there is…”
Of course Jenkins knew where she was talking about, the original owner was a native of Nolan. And more than half of Nolan's children's childhood horror stories are related to that weird black forest.
Because of the soil quality in that forest, most of the trees were black in color. Because the branches and leaves of the trees block the sunlight, the trunks are completely black in the shadows, hence the name Black Forest.
The reason for the formation of the large cemetery in the Black Forest is more complicated, but in simple terms, not everyone can afford the gold pounds or shillings to buy a tomb. Even if public cemeteries in cities are cheap, poor people living in slums and poor people dying in foreign lands cannot afford them.
It is against the law to discard corpses at will, and it will also violate the dogma of the [Death and the End] Church. So they took their deceased relatives to the Black Forest in the outer suburbs to bury them, and over time, that large cemetery was formed.
But there have never been any haunted rumors about that cemetery. Even though adults often use the horror stories there to teach disobedient children, there really is no supernatural phenomenon there. This is because in the land below the Black Forest, there has been a terrible evil [Swallowing Beast] sealed since the 13th era.
This is one of the few terrifying existences that exists in the records of the Nolan church and is sealed in the local area. It is said that the evil thing is also somewhat involved with the evil god [Lord of Billions of Radiance].
The accumulation of corpses can strengthen the measures to seal the evil thing, so the formation of the cemetery actually has the acquiescence of [Death and the Church of the End].
It stands to reason that it will be more difficult to revive the undead in such a place, but Jenkins still thinks that he may still encounter the skeleton sword.
"The cemetery...you go first, I'll be right there."
Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out from the team of four, and disappeared into the thick fog in a blink of an eye.
The other three people didn't care too much, because Mr. Candle was so weird in the first place, he said he would come back, and he would definitely come back.
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, hurried footsteps sounded from behind, and a man with a flower pot in one hand rushed up with his cat.
"Safety comes first and I think carrying a weapon is necessary."
None of the three understand why a potted flower is called a "weapon", but it doesn't matter, as long as the powerful Mr. Candle can come together, that's enough.
After leaving the dense fog area on the outskirts of the city, there is no need to worry about using supernatural abilities to move quickly and attract the attention of citizens. Miss Magic, like Miss Silver Flute, can use a kind of cloud wrapped around her feet to slide forward quickly. It is said that this is an ability called [Cloud Feet], and Mr. White Cat can directly transform into a white cat.
This is a coincidence... Vanilla didn't look sideways, and it tried to make a small cry. Jenkins thought it was a greeting to the same kind, but in fact Vanilla was just expressing boredom.
A unicorn must not be called out. The only one here who knows that he is a "believer of the God of Lies" is Miss Magic. In this case, he summoned the skeleton horse that had not been used for a long time. Although the bone whistle was also known to the church, summoning the skeleton horse as a mount was a very common method.
The four arrived at the edge of the Black Forest at 10:40, and Miss Magic concealed their bodies for them. The four continued to walk towards the interior, and found traces of humans not far from the large cemetery.
