The next day was Monday, and Jenkins woke up thinking about the miraculous things that had happened last night, miraculous even for his life. But the two ladies seemed to be doing well, talking and laughing while eating breakfast.
Once again, Jenkins felt the power of women.
Saying goodbye to the two ladies, instead of going home, he headed straight to Papa's Antiques. Since the incident with the skull sword broke out, he hasn't worked seriously here. Now that I have returned here after a long absence, I feel an indescribable feeling.
Dad was sitting in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace as usual, but there was no flame burning in the fireplace. With the arrival of spring, some habits are slowly changing, and it seems that Jenkins has planned to move back to the second-floor bedroom to sleep in front of the fireplace.
The big event that happened at the Royal Opera House last night was of course very clear to Dad, and even the newspaper in his hand happened to find a report about that event.
The black-and-white photos taken outside the opera house were placed in almost half of the page area of the newspaper. The photos just chose the entrance of the opera house, and the scene of people rushing out as if they were fleeing.
The background of the photo is a variety of luxurious carriages and police detectives in uniform, just this photo is enough to ensure that today's morning paper is a big hit.
"You did a good job and were decisive."
Including Dad, no one asked Jenkins what happened to the miraculous "bomb explosion" at the end. Now people believe that it was a miracle, and it was evidence that William was blessed by the gods and hand-picked as the next archbishop , and the people in the church knew that this was the Son who was favored by the gods.
"Antak deserves what he deserves, but what he does now may cause the war to break out earlier."
Dad looked worried. He turned the newspaper backwards, and the photo on the next page turned out to be Jenkins' profile. Judging from the background and clothing, this should be a photo taken during the first conferment.
"Bevanna caught an unrecorded demigod on the second floor of the opera house last night. He came from a very troublesome organization. Now there are really strange people popping up, and Nolan has a strange demigod appearing , but it is no less important than Antak being killed by you."
Sighing while talking, seeing Jenkins peeking at the newspaper behind him, he got up and handed the newspaper to him.
"In reporting on things related to you, the church inspired the newspaper to write a special report on you. Now you are really going to be famous."
There was a second newspaper next to Dad, which he opened to read.
"Does the church want me to go out in public?"
"I'm not sure about this. You should ask Bevanna or Bishop Parode. Speaking of which, Bevanna seems to have asked you to meet her this morning. Have you gone?"
"Oh~"
Jenkins couldn't help but patted his forehead, "Sorry, I forgot, what happened last night really made me sad."
"Then go and come back as soon as possible. The antique shop has not been in business for several days. We need to tidy up the warehouse behind and move out the goods suitable for spring sales."
When Jenkins went out, he brought out his father's newspaper, and saw new news about the plague in the carriage.
The city hall has disclosed the news about the emergence of corpse plague to the masses. This incident was not blamed on the Duke of Antak, but was still discussed together with the winter flu.
Now the situation of epidemic prevention has reached the most severe moment. Most of the cemeteries in the suburbs are temporarily closed. At the same time, if there is a corpse or acute fever in the urban area, it must be reported to the police or the church as soon as possible.
Because the news that the plague is coming has been advertised for more than half a month, the residents of Nolan City are also mentally prepared. But no one could adapt to such a disaster in early spring. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets on Monday morning, and most people walked with their heads down, looking like they were in a hurry.
As long as someone coughs suddenly, the pedestrians on a street will quickly leave the street. This is the normal state now. People gradually begin to reject unnecessary going out, but for the sake of survival and family, only a very small number of people can arrange travel plans according to their own needs.
After Skrull Pompeii was defeated by Jenkins, the weird gray fog that attacked the city with the undead retreated back to the outskirts of the city. But the air in the urban area did not remain the same, and not all the fog receded. Compared with the days before that, the fog during the day could feel denser.
Jenkins also talked about this with the coachman on the road. The old coachman witnessed the development of the city, so he also clearly knew how the fog appeared in the city.
"When I was young like you, although I could rarely see the blue sky, the foggy weather like this only appeared in winter and late summer every year. Now it has become the norm, I really don't know This city and these fogs, who will die first."
In the church, Jenkins also specifically asked Miss Bevanna about the investigation of the fog, but the progress of the investigation was not optimistic. It's not that the source of the fog cannot be found, but the fog obviously comes from the factories and mines inside and outside Nolan City, and this is the reason.
But it has developed into what it is now, and the reason cannot be explained at all. Fog is ordinary fog, and cities are ordinary cities. Ordinary fog hovered in this ordinary city for a long time, and it became what it is now.
"This is the result of the joint action of mortals' own sins, the punishment of nature, the conspiracy of the bestowers, and the influence of supernatural beings. It is the punishment of fate for human beings..."
This explanation is exactly the same as what Professor Burns said. In this idealistic world, the formation of disasters is often so unreasonable.
Miss Bevanna invited Jenkins to the church to talk about what happened in the Opera House last night.
The two first reviewed every meeting between Jenkins and the Duke of Antak, focusing on the analysis of the last day of last month, when Jenkins was on his way to find the girls to attend the dinner, he jumped out of nowhere and wanted to kill Jenkins. .
During this period, Miss Bevanna did not explain the tree house and the demigod in detail, but only said that Duke Antak's actions were supported by an evil organization.
This is a very dangerous signal, because the tree house organization has been clearly linked to the term [Emblem of the Savior] in the past history. The Duke of Antak received their support, which directly shows that the Duke is also one of the contenders for the emblem.
