Speaking of Pompeii's knowledge of perceiving danger, Mr. Hood sighed and said to everyone in the tone of sharing new things:
"Pompeii left Shire for Nolan last autumn. He thought he was at his workplace, um, it seemed to be a small cemetery. He thought he felt the breath of God there, and then he was directly targeted by a terrible disaster. Yes, this is one of the main reasons that prompted him to come to Nolan. Heh~ Who does he think he is, he senses the breath of the great~" (Note)
Both Jenkins and Chocolate were taken aback. According to the investigation in Shire City last month, the place where Skrull Pompeii worked last fall was the cemetery in the suburbs, so the breath he felt...
Both the person and the cat turned their heads and pretended to look at the night view outside the window, not wanting others to know that Pompey had come to Nolan. Mr. Writer and his cat also had a certain responsibility.
It was very late at night, and the street outside the window was deserted and deserted. The apartment building is not on the main road, and the city's street lighting installation has not yet been carried out in this area. Looking out, you can only see thin fog and dark streets. The spring night is such a calm.
Mr. Hood provided the culprit of Pompey's death as his news, and in clockwise order, it was Jenkins' turn. He coughed, put away the bead with Pompeii's ability, and signaled everyone's attention that he was about to start talking:
"Since the last meeting, Nolan has been really uneasy for more than a month. I have a lot of interesting information, but I'm afraid what you need is about safety. My friend in the black market told me that Nolan Lan City hides a large number of alien creatures. Even the Orthodox Church only discovered this recently. I think you have all heard of Balrogs. It is said that the night watchmen encountered one in the outskirts of Nolan. In the farmland."
The news about the heterogeneous species lurking in Nolan was obviously not announced by the church. Because he couldn't see everyone's faces, Jenkins didn't know how many people knew the news in the past, but at least it was indeed valuable. Unfortunately, when Hathaway asked about the follow-up, Jenkins regretted that he didn't know the news. Know.
The next one was Mr. White Cat. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on the coffee table. This is a handmade cigarette. The cigarette paper is a straight rib cigarette paper without a filter. The delicate texture shows that it is expensive.
"Watch out for this tobacco..."
He removed the paper, exposing the tobacco inside. Under the light of the gas lamp, the tobacco showed an attractive golden color. Jenkins had no experience of smoking, so he didn't know what it meant.
"Its price is one pound and three silks, which is very expensive. It has been sold in Nolan since three years ago. But this kind of tobacco is absolutely impossible to find on the market, and can only be purchased through special channels."
"One pound and three silks? Damn, is this a money grab?"
Mr. Hood grumbled.
The "silk" here is a unit of measurement specially used by the tobacco industry in this era, and does not refer to a real "strand". It takes about 3 to 4 cigarettes to make a cigarette, which means that a cigarette costs one pound, which is absolutely sky-high.
"Is it the kind of additive?"
Hathaway asked, everyone knew what she meant.
"No, but it's more troublesome than that. This kind of tobacco is not very addictive, but in the long-term smoking process, it will amplify all the negative qualities in the soul. This change is irreversible, and it is very difficult to detect, and I am too I only learned of this situation by accident, there must be a conspiracy in it."
Mr. White Cat explained, and then let everyone look at the cigarette.
Jenkins' eyes could not see the aura originally, and only at a very close distance, almost close to the eyebrows, could he see the dim black aura. This is indeed a remarkable thing. In his memory, he seems to have seen many people smoke this thing.
"A small amount of smoking is not a big problem, but although this kind of tobacco is not highly addictive, it is of good quality. For people who have smoking habits and money, it is hard not to want to try it a second time after smoking. I don't know the range outside of Nolan Is there such a thing in China, but if you see it, don't try it rashly, no one knows what this thing is going to do when it is on the market."
Because of the high price, this kind of tobacco is destined not to be popularized on a large scale. As for rich people who have financial resources that are often used and are affected by it, once their negative psychology is aroused, it will lead to more serious consequences.
"Perhaps this matter should be known to the Orthodox Church."
Miss Yindi suggested, and then added as if to avoid suspicion: "For the peace of the city we live in."
"It's a good idea, I think so too, but I'm not going."
Mr. White Cat shrugged his shoulders, but because of the black robe on his body, this movement was not obvious.
The discussion of tobacco went on for quite some time, as it was discovered that everyone seemed to have met two or three people who smoked the stuff. And next was Miss Magic, she really brought news related to Pirate King Fermisio.
"Femixiu is still in Nolan. In fact, since we ran into him last year, he hasn't left this city."
"Then where is he hiding? It's really amazing that he didn't show his feet all winter."
Jenkins asked, knowing the answer.
"Hiding under the frozen river, feeding on the children who fell into the water. He is still in the water until now, and the Church should have found this out."
Miss Magic's tone revealed a happy mood, so her plan should be implemented smoothly. This woman and Miss Yindi planned together to get Fermixiu's [Heart of the Ocean], and even rushed into a strange place rashly, and they didn't know where their plan had progressed.
He wanted to ask more carefully, but Miss Magic complained next:
"I planned to lure Fermixiu to earn that bounty, but I didn't expect the believers of the New God to bomb the estuary in the middle of the night. Now the Orthodox Church is searching the waters in the city to find the reason for them to do so. Damn it, I think now Fermi Xiu should have escaped..."
Jenkins didn't want to keep asking about the Pirate King any more now.
What Miss Yindi brought was not news about the extraordinary world. She told everyone that Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Fidgetli was no longer able to survive the summer.
"Are you sure? This is not a joke."
Mr. Hood looked very surprised. In fact, except for Jenkins, everyone else here was very surprised, including Hathaway.
