Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 416:
"Speaking of which, Miss Stuart used to be my pen pal. Although it was last year, it feels like too long has passed..."
Even Jenkins can't control the passage of time, so after breakfast, he has to take his lazy cat out to work on time.
With the advent of spring day by day, the temperature is picking up rapidly. Now the cotton-padded clothes can be put back in the closet, and even no sweaters are needed during the hotter noon. Jenkins hopes that this spring will be easier than winter.
After arriving at the old antique shop, he began his daily life as an apprentice. The life back on track is boring but safe. Jenkins likes this kind of life.
I spent the whole morning fighting with the new stele photos. During this time, I talked to my dad about the encounter with the Balrog last night, and then took that piece of chocolate from the hand that was trying to take possession of the chocolate that was sealed with the calamity stone. Take the ring.
Dad didn't notice any problem with this ring at all. After all, it was made of divine nature. He was just wondering why Jenkins's taste was so bad. The brass-colored ring had no decoration or nicks at all, just like something bent from metal trash everywhere.
PS: The addition is over, ask for everything.
Chapter 984 Chapter 960 A Boring Afternoon
There were no customers in the shop in the morning. The old man checked the decorations to be delivered to the exhibition, and then received the elderly who came to inspect the goods at noon.
He was very satisfied with this batch of goods, and repeatedly told Jenkins that he must be careful when escorting this batch of antiques tomorrow.
After lunch, Dad brought a thick book called "Dark Forces: Defense and Counterattack" for Jenkins to study, as his pre-learning content after he was promoted to Level 4. Dad studied the tattoos on Balrog's body brought by Jenkins at the counter. Most of those patterns and symbols had no practical significance.
At about three o'clock, the chocolate finished the snack Jenkins had prepared for it, and whirled around beside the man's arm. It first became interested in the new kerosene lamp placed at the other end of the counter, observed its distorted image in front of the glass lampshade, and then jumped off the counter to study the display cabinet placed in the corner of the antique shop.
The display cabinet was empty when Jenkins first stepped into it. The old man said that he had not found any goods suitable for sale in it.
Seeing that Jenkins was not going to pay attention to it, the cat finally jumped onto the window and lay on his stomach. There are only two exhibits in the window of the old antique shop. One is a complete set of knight armor supported by a special shelf. It is one of the most valuable antiques in the store; the other is placed on a soft cushion and covered by glass. The silver snuff bottle is inlaid with enamel hooks. Although this product is also very valuable, it can only be regarded as a modern art in fact. The reason why it is placed here is because it looks beautiful and can help attract customers.
It's Thursday afternoon, and there are not many people on Fifth Queen's Avenue. The little girl selling flowers passed by the window and glanced at the cat curiously, but it was a pity that Jenkins, who concentrated on copying, didn't see her.
The gentleman with a civilized stick also passed by the window, without even looking inside. Soon after, I passed a very slow carriage. The wheel was accidentally pressed on the raised foot of the stone brick, and the carriage shook abruptly.
"Meow~"
The cat yawned, foreseeing that nothing important will happen until after get off work. It stood up and wanted to go back to Jenkins to sleep, but suddenly he leaned in front of the window glass and put the cat's face on the glass and looked to the side with great effort.
Standing beside the gas street lamp is a rusty post box, beside the post box, you can see the steam jetting from the cracks in the stone bricks. This is a normal phenomenon, and underground steam pipes need to be exhausted at any time to stabilize the air pressure.
And further away from that steam, a familiar horse-drawn carriage drove from the foggy street.
"Meow~"
Although a little unhappy, Chocolate still cried out to remind Jenkins. Although Jenkins doesn't understand cat language, he has been living with cats for more than half a year and he also knows how it behaves.
"A guest is here, and they are acquaintances."
As he talked, he informed his father that he also knew the strangeness of Jenkins's cat that had drunk the [Animal Revelation Potion], so he also began to recycle the paper with strange runes printed on the table.
Two minutes later, the two girls got off the carriage parked in front of the antique shop. The maid got out of the car one step ahead and opened the door of the antique shop for them. Britney was in front of Hathaway, and the two walked in one after another.
"Good afternoon, welcome to Dad Antique Shop, what can I do to help..."
Dad poked Jenkins in the back at the counter.
"Oh, Britney, you look so beautiful today. Hathaway, good afternoon, this hair pin really suits you."
Everyone in the antique shop showed a satisfied smile.
After Goldilocks took out a string of pearl necklaces embedded in a silk box, the old man told me with interest that he would go to the dark room on the second floor of the store for identification, leaving the space for young people.
The maid at the door also closed the door, and now only Jenkins and his friends are left in the shop.
Hathaway and Britney both came to Jenkins, but they didn't make an appointment together, but happened to meet at the intersection of St. George Street and Warward Walk.
At that time, the red-haired girl bought cakes for chocolate in the dessert shop at the intersection as a gift for visiting Jenkins, and Brian had this idea, and the two met by chance.
Two exquisite hand-held paper cake boxes were placed on the counter. The cat hesitated, leaned to the side and sniffed, and then jumped on Jenkins's shoulder.
It already knows what's inside, and the girls will definitely not take the cake away, so it's the same when you eat it.
The cat is not in a hurry.
Jenkins didn't know why the girls visited separately. But now that they are here together, there are certain things that cannot be discussed.
Briane first officially thanked him for what happened at the Opera House last Sunday. Although the Duke of Antak used to marry her as an excuse to propose a duel to Jenkins, most of them did not know the real situation. Now that Jenkins has won the duel, he has gained more than fame.
As for Hathaway, she wanted to invite Jenkins to talk to her about opera again. The first performance was over, and news about the opera was completely overwhelmed by Antak, the plague, or major diplomatic events.
But this does not mean that the script created by Jenkins and Hathaway does not have artistic value. She wants to invite Jenkins to talk about it.
Now the relationship between the two ladies and Jenkins is very delicate. To sum up, everyone likes her, but the two girls don't want each other to know their feelings for Jenkins.
Britney doesn't understand Hathaway's feelings, so she wants to slowly accept her; while Hathaway understands everything, just worrying about the future, wanting Jenkins to propose to Britney first before coming to get close to herself.
This is as complicated as a thread tangled together. Although Jenkins wants to take the initiative, he finds it difficult to find where he should start.
Now that the girls were there, he wanted to invite them to dinner together on the weekend, but before Jenkins’ invitation was sent, Britney spoke first.
"Jenkins, do you have time next week? I want to invite you to go outing, there will be many people..."
The blonde girl turned her head to look at Hathaway again:
"It's an event organized by Miss Wanda to go to the grasslands in the outer suburbs. I think if Jenkins can participate, everyone will be very happy."
"you are right."
The red-haired girl also nodded absently. She didn't care much about the outing, but suddenly thought of the conversation between Jenkins and Hathaway in the room on Sunday night.
The women came and left quickly, and the old man happened to get down from the second floor after leaving the carriage.
Chapter 985 Chapter 967 The Visit of Diviners
"It looks like you are very upset."
When he went down the stairs, he barely concealed his gloating emotions. He saw that Jenkins was unpacking the cake box for the eager chocolate. After opening the carton along the gap and the buckle, there was a cream cake dotted with tempting strawberries.
"I feel like I'm stuck in a quagmire of emotions."
Jenkins said weakly.
"This is a stage that young people must go through. You will adapt."
The old man said cheerfully, and took out the text that had just been retrieved from the counter.
"Jenkins, young and promising aristocratic youth like you, should have been caught in the trouble of girls' pursuit at this age."
"Father, are you laughing at me?"
He half leaned on the counter, holding a spoon for chocolate, and delivered a scoop of cream to the cat’s mouth. The cat obediently squatted on the counter, tilted his head up and widened his eyes. When he saw the spoon handed over, he opened his mouth wide, and his hairy cheeks were trembling with his short beard.
"It would be great if women are as easy to understand as chocolate."
He couldn't help sighing, because he spoke, the movement in his hand stopped. The cat immediately slapped Jenkins's hand with his small paw, asking him to hurry up.
Dad chuckled and shook his head, not intending to refute this sentence. Jenkins fed some cream to his cat again, planning to continue processing the bread under the cream.
"Speaking of love, what happened to the cursed couple some time ago? It's the couple that cycled in and out of the painting."
Jenkins asked boredly. Some time ago, his energy had been on the undead, so he didn't pay attention to it.
"I heard that the Holy See asked the sage for their opinions. The sage issued an oracle and agreed to help them lift the curse. I don't know the specific details. If you are interested, you can go to the church to ask."
"Are the woman and the painting still in Nolan?"
"Still, the woman lives in the church, but she is restricted to go out. Because of the curse, that picture can't meet her, so it's in the Evergreen Forest. As for the gifter who chased the woman, his family suffered His curse is not serious. The church has been purified by divine art. He has already left Nolan after registering as a gifter half a month ago."
"That's it."
Jenkins nodded, and wanted to go to the church to thank the woman. The [real phantom] stored in the shadowless lamp was still discovered thanks to her.
It came to the end of get off work safely, and Jenkins finished reading the first 20 pages of the book. According to this schedule, he might not be able to finish the book completely in the middle of the day.
As for the chocolate, after eating dessert, I fell asleep again. When Jenkins bid farewell to his father, he was full of energy, meowing and looking forward to the contents of the dinner.
The antiques will be shipped to the exhibition tomorrow, so the old man told Jenkins to come a little earlier. That batch of goods has now been loaded into the car, and will be pulled from the warehouse area to the antique shop tomorrow morning, and the old man will check it again, and then Jenkins will send it to the exhibition venue.
After leaving the antique shop, he was about to go home. While the maid Mrs. Mahart was preparing dinner, Jenkins wrote some readers' replies in the living room.
It was about seven o'clock when the lights came on, and Mrs. Mahart settled last week’s salary. When sending her out, she ran into Mr. Goodman, a neighbor who was off work.
Jenkins thought of encountering his mirror image in the mirror world, so he smiled and said hello, and talked about two recent forms of epidemic prevention.
The house of Mrs. Mistral Frante, the neighbor on the other side, has no lights on. She is not at home and seems to have gone out to do errands.
I felt the night breeze in the early spring. When I pulled the fence door and wanted to turn back to the house, I heard the sound of a carriage in the distance. As soon as I turned around, I saw an old carriage turning from the intersection into St. George Street, and then stopped in front of it.
"Miss Audrey, Miss Broniance, good evening, please come in."
These are unexpected visitors, and Jenkins planned to visit them again this weekend. But now that he is here, he must be invited into the house to sit down, but because of the last time, Jenkins is already a little afraid of the two fortunetellers.
Visitors brought desserts as gifts for the visit. These things can serve as Jenkins' supper, but in the end it is extremely likely that the chocolate will be cheaper.
After greeted the **** topic such as weather, the two sides sat down, Jenkins prepared tea, and then started to get into the topic.
"William, your performance in the Evergreen Forest was wonderful, and your performance in the opera house was also quite good. I think you should have already got what you deserve."
Miss Bronie Anse is very straightforward. The middle-aged woman's voice is very gentle, but her tone is very strong. Miss Audrey shook her head at Jenkins apologetically, her current position was very embarrassing.
"What I want..."
looked at the women groaningly. He knew that this meant the "Savior's Insignia".
"I am very grateful for your help, Miss Broniance, I will not deny that."
Finger tapped the cushion of the sofa lightly, and Jenkins was considering what he wanted to express.
"I probably know a little bit about the task assigned to me by fate. It's an honor...but I want to know what you can get from me."
"Our school pursues destiny, gains power through the tide of destiny, and perceives the world. To help you is to help the tide of destiny flow in the most correct direction. This is what I want to get."
The woman replied, glanced at the teacup Jenkins used to entertain the guests, took a sip, and added:
"For example, Audrey’s predictions about the black cat, the cemetery, and the elderberry are her observations of fate, and with your efforts, this observation really appeared, so she gained new strength and Comprehend."
"I probably understand."
These things are not unexpected. Even before Miss Bronie Anse appeared, Jenkins guessed why Miss Audrey insisted on teaching him a divination course.
"In terms of divination, even if Miss Audrey teaches seriously, I still haven't gotten started. But I have my own knowledge of fate, and those who deliberately pursue it often get nothing...Miss Broniance, what you did It’s more like manipulating fate than catering to fate."
"This is not important, the important thing is that we are helping you."
The middle-aged woman pointed this out, but it still made Jenkins very uncomfortable.
He looked at his fortune-telling teacher, Miss Audrey, and the woman nodded:
"Teacher..."
Miss Audrey is no longer willing to hide her relationship with Miss Broance.
Chapter 986 Chapter 960
"Teacher, I have always been doing the job of guiding Jenkins. We get along very well."
In the brightly lit living room, Miss Audrey emphasized. Her hands gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, looking like a lioness protecting her food.
"But until I appeared, you were only observing him, and you didn't even make William a real fortuneteller."
Miss Broniance paused, because he heard a carriage hurriedly passing by on the street outside the house, which would suppress the voice of conversation.
"William, don't you understand what kind of opportunity you have seized?"
She asked Jenkins again, the warm yellow light of the gas lamp made everyone's faces clear.
"I know something about it. If you are willing to speak more clearly, I will be very happy."
"No, you have to discover these by yourself."
Hearing these words, Jenkins tried to control his expression of contempt, because it was impolite to do so.
"But you have to understand, I can really help you, and I can help you now."
The middle-aged woman said again, her tone softened a lot.
Jenkins stopped talking, and silently touched the cat on his lap. Miss Audrey wanted to speak, but was interrupted.
"There are so many strange people in the city, this is my hint to you."
