Although he still failed to kill Skrull Pompeii tonight, at least the goal of rescuing Mr. Hood was achieved. Jenkins considered directly summoning the protoss to kill Pompeii, but considering his habit of fleeing as soon as the situation was bad, the power of the protoss may not be effective in time.
The best way to deal with such a person is to make him feel that he has a great advantage and take the initiative to attack, and then defeat him with overwhelming force. Otherwise, the battle with Pompeii will always be such a chasing battle. He obviously has huge power but is too cautious, which is not a good thing for Jenkins.
Hood, together with Mr. White Cat and Miss Silver Flute, waited for the two companions at the intersection of entering the city. A group of five people escaped the convoy of the Orthodox Church and made a long circle in the fog before returning to Nolan urban area.
"At half past eleven, I still have half an hour."
Jenkins muttered to himself while holding his pocket watch.
"What did you say?"
Miss Yindi who was walking side by side asked softly.
"Nothing, just lamenting what happened tonight."
Mr. Hood's face was now completely exposed to the other four, but he didn't seem to care. After the rope that bound him was cut, although he was weak, he had already recovered his normal mobility. After entering the city, he led a group of people to a small second-floor apartment in the southwest of the city, which was one of the safe houses he owned. one.
"Sure enough, almost none of the benefactors are short of gold pounds."
Jenkins muttered softly.
"Thank you, my friends, for saving me."
The custom-made gas lamps on the walls were turned on, and Mr. Hood fetched bottles from the liquor cabinet and filled everyone's glasses. The five people formed a circle holding their wine glasses high and greeted each other.
"We're also strangers, it's okay... Of course, if I knew who my opponent was in advance, I would definitely not go."
Mr. White Cat spoke his mind, no one blamed him, this is the truth.
"You should be more grateful to Mr. Magic and Mr. Candle."
Miss Silver Flute reminded, and Mr. Hood immediately filled the wine bottle again, and Jenkins was forced to drink the remaining liquid in his glass.
Probably considering other people's preferences for alcohol, Mr. Hood provided Jerez wine, which is white wine. The taste of this wine is not bad, but Jenkins, who has hated alcohol since his first life, still has some resistance.
Next, Mr. Hood explained to everyone what happened tonight.
Starting from the end of last month, he was entrusted by the deceased to investigate a series of missing persons cases in the Kingdom. By chance, Mr. Hood discovered that the dates of birth of those missing people implied a pattern. Following this clue to investigate, he actually found out the young duke who was visiting from a foreign country.
"I thought he was in the human trafficking business, so I wanted to launch a surprise attack. I didn't expect the owner of the skull sword to be there..."
Mr. Hood drank a big gulp of wine to suppress his shock, but he was still in shock. Although he is also a powerful gifter, he has not yet possessed the strength to fight against the skull sword. Before being caught, she reluctantly sent out a distress message. Miss Magic happened to have time, so she struggled with the manpower that happened tonight.
Although everyone in the party was present at this moment except for Hathaway, no one proposed to move the party forward. Everyone looked preoccupied, and Jenkins didn't know what other people were worrying about.
Mr. Hood thanked everyone again before saying goodbye, and promised to ask him for help in future troubles. At least from this point of view, this middle-aged man is indeed very good, because every word he said tonight is the truth.
Miss Magic seemed to have something to say to Jenkins, but now it was very close to zero, and Jenkins was in a hurry to go home. The woman also saw Jenkins' anxiety, so she handed him a piece of paper and a bottle containing black potion.
"Sorry for getting you into trouble tonight."
"If you want to give me a gift, I think Mr. Hood should give it more appropriate."
"He'll give me a bigger compensation."
The woman took off the hood she had been wearing, revealing the face of Agnes Howard. She winked at Jenkins and said:
"This is the water of the Styx that can only be used once, and the learning method of the ability [Building the Stage]. I mentioned it at the last gathering. Although it is not worth the money, it is also my thank you."
"Oh well."
Jenkins reluctantly accepted it, because [Building the Stage (Yellow Spell)] is really worthless, and its function will only make the user shine like in the center of the stage, which is the same as the B -10-5-7722 [Right song for the right occasion] Just as boring.
As for the water of the Styx, Miss Magic had said a month ago that it was about to expire, so the value was greatly reduced.
This time, it can be regarded as a mutual cooperation between the two. Therefore, Miss Magic handed over the method of daily contact with her to Jenkins, and Jenkins also handed over the address of the black market tavern, which is the mailing address used by "Miss Fabry" to Miss Magic. . In this way, the two can connect with each other outside of the party, so that they can't even find friends at critical times.
Seeing that time was running out, Jenkins summoned the unicorn after saying goodbye to his friends and rushed towards St. George's Avenue.
Tonight, for safety, he of course left an apparition at home. But once you use [Real Phantom]to go home, the cat can only run home by itself.
Jenkins was worried about letting Chocolate go home alone on a night in the city, so he had to take it with him.
Jenkins' pocket watch was checked against the city's clock tower, and it was accurate by a second. He counted seconds to open the fence gate of the yard, and his hands trembled with anxiety when he nervously opened the door. Turning around and closing the door, he immediately lost consciousness and passed out on his mat.
When the man fell down, the cat gracefully jumped onto the shoe rack beside him. Seeing that Jenkins' consciousness had risen to a higher dimension, the cat jumped back to the ground and came to him, rubbing his furry face against Jenkins's face.
"Meow~"
Although he eats willfully and gluttonously every day, chocolate will not allow people other than himself to hurt Jenkins.
"Meow~"
Although it is impossible to get a new divinity, it is not impossible to defeat the skeleton sword.
The ringing of the zero o'clock means that the time has come to the third month of this year. The arrival of [Earth and Blossoming Moon] is a sign of spring.
After March, even the Hampawa Kingdom, which has the worst temperature, will gradually heat up. Spring has really arrived, but Jenkins is not ready yet.
He has just discovered something that he has neglected for a long time. With the improvement of his physical level, he can "see" more things in the state of spirit body or pure consciousness.
I still remember the first time I experienced the end-of-month incident. Not only did he not gain anything, but he almost died because of headache and nausea. In the past six months, with the improvement of strength, the details of "seeing" and "hearing" have become more and more abundant. This is a good change, which means that the essence of Jenkins' life is changing.
PS: Let me summarize:
[Player] (learned) [Liner] (learned) [Stage Builder] (not learned, already acquired) [Performer] (unknown) [Storyteller] (unknown).
[Stage] Misuo has five abilities, two are gained and three are missing, but there are only two vacancies for abilities.
[Stage of Destiny] The advanced conditions are unknown.
Guess what I will write.
