The Master of the Strange Realm

he came. "

After the sound stopped, the dozen gentlemen and ladies gathered together fell silent. It wasn't until the shovel in someone's hand fell to the ground that someone asked in a trembling voice:

"This is B-12-5-0001, the doomsday document? Is this era coming to an end?"

Jenkins stood in the crowd at a loss. What he said above must be his own.

He asked Captain Binsi in a low voice. At this time, the gentleman's brows were almost twisted together:

"This is an extremely special [extraordinary]. It can only be discovered when the end of the era is coming. And the things recorded in the [Doomsday Document] and the place where it was found often point to safety How to survive the change of era. Damn it, why are you here? What does the Asyash family know?"

PS: The update is over!

Chapter 226 Chapter 222 The reply comes again

What happened next, Jenkins has no idea. Everyone present who saw the [Doomsday Document] was quarantined and could only be released after strict scrutiny. They were asked to keep it a secret, and the Gifted One who spoke of it would be considered an apostate from the Church.

Of course, Jenkins is the third living son of the Church of [Knowledge and Books], and he can absolutely be trusted.

After explaining some confidentiality regulations, the two secret keepers will let him go home first. That night, Jenkins, who was standing on his balcony watching the stars at night to accumulate spiritual energy, unexpectedly discovered a very familiar steam airship suspended above the church after being reminded by chocolate.

Although the [Doomsday Script] was discovered by Jenkins and Binsi, a considerable price must have been paid to collect such an important thing into the Church of Knowledge and Books.

Just like no one knows about the strange situation he has just experienced, no one except the person experiencing it knows about the announced doomsday.

This is the normal experience of the benefactors. Perhaps the middle-aged gentleman in a hurry or the stumbling old woman who passed by inadvertently have just witnessed things that ordinary people can't imagine in their lifetime.

A missing person notice for Mr Robinson appeared in Wednesday morning's newspapers. Only then did Jenkins learn that he was a small businessman from a foreign country, mainly engaged in the fur and tobacco business. The person who called the police this time was a companion of the caravan. This missing person notice will have no effect, divination cannot interfere with the mysterious situation, the body is not even dusty, and the three people who know the truth will not tell the truth.

He also did something else that night. When he went to the black market to inquire about the auction at noon, he unexpectedly learned from the bartender that Eldron had replied to his letter again.

After stargazing, Jenkins looked at the nearly 100 letters in distress under the light of the kerosene lamp, and fell into deep self-blame.

If he hadn't tried out the address on Elderlon's Green Avenue, he wouldn't have caused such trouble, and he wouldn't have been worried about how the scene should end.

There was no news of the closing of the net from the Chesland Kingdom, which meant that the owner of this address had not been arrested. In his reply, he not only sent the two shillings as required, filled out the questionnaire carefully, but also attached a short message.

In the letter, the man who called himself Hunter Bell was very concerned about the girl Jenkins invented. He talked about the customs of Eldron City and the living habits of the citizens in all directions, and his words seemed to be very interested in the lady who wrote the letter.

"Is he really a fraud?"

Jenkins couldn't help but wonder.

He waved his hand and drove the chocolate, which was fidgeting with the envelope with his paws, off the table. He held it in his arms before it meowed in anger, and then looked at a pile of two shilling notes and scattered 1 shilling notes on the table. and coins, which were sent by the responders.

"Ah, I still have to reply!"

That was all he could do.

After thinking carefully, Jenkins found that he had overlooked some things last time. For example, based on the details of the answers in the replies he received, it could be judged that most of the people he was sending letters to were wealthy and might not care about gains and losses of one or two shillings. ; For example, the city of Elderlon is much smaller than the city of Nolan. Before these letters arrived, the recipients of the first 50 letters had already told their neighbors about the new things they encountered; for example, he came into this world I have been acting since then, so my disguise ability has improved very quickly. I also referenced real stories from another world in the letters I sent, so the plight of the female students is too real...

All of this led to the recipient actually believing Jenkins' nonsense and completing the questionnaire strictly in accordance with his, no, in accordance with her request.

In their letters, many people were also concerned about the situation of the poor 18-year-old female student Miss Fabry, which made Jenkins believe that "there are still good people in this world."

"Please don't do this, please."

He unscrewed the cap of the ink bottle, filled it with ink, and then took the pen and smelled the faint aroma of the ink, intending to draft the next letter.

Everything is based on the two requirements of "the recipient will not be suspicious" and "the recipient will not send the letter back again". He thought hard for a long time and thought that the last time he thought too badly about the citizens' conduct led to the current situation, so he had to learn a lesson this time.

The letter still attached a questionnaire. Based on the content of the previous two surveys, this time the responders were divided into three categories: "very rich", "rich" and "not rich", and then the questionnaires were constructed separately, which is more realistic.

He wrote in the letter that as Miss Fabry, she was very grateful to everyone for sending money while sending the questionnaire. After racking her brains to imitate a feminine tone, she said that she had recently invested in a mining business that could make money in the short term. This business was brought in by a friend, so not many people knew about it, and even in Norland City, it was impossible to find out.

"Miss Fabry" has now completely gotten rid of her financial problems by relying on this small investment. So Jenkins not only sent another questionnaire to each address that sent a reply letter and money, but also put in 10 shillings as evidence of improved economic conditions.

This paid out 50 pounds in cash, but in order to get rid of those senders, he had no choice but to do this. Of course, the first two letters had to be copied and then sent to the new address, so that the "social survey of graduation thesis" would appear more real.

According to Jenkins's expectation, the kind-hearted people who received the letter and money would be happy to have done a good deed before, and then only send back the questionnaire after learning that Miss Fabry no longer needed financial help. In this way, he only needs to send another letter to indicate that the investigation has been successfully completed, and this unfortunate thing will be over.

"Praise the sage, praise the goddess, may your light illuminate my way forward!"

After doing all this, he prayed to the sage sincerely. After all, apart from using fake stamps, he did not do anything illegal, and he also spent a lot of extra money.

These letters were delivered to the mailbox again under the cover of night. Jenkins firmly believed that although he had gotten into this big trouble for a while, the righteous great writer would never commit a crime for this.

The new book of the great writer is still being written with great effort. The two books sent by his pen pal Miss Mary have almost been read and revised. Jenkins plans to mail it in the next two days. This time Miss Mary has been waiting for a long time.

"A-11-2-3301 can send letters in addition to sending people?"

With this thought, he fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 227 Chapter 223 Old Jack's Reply

Due to his suspicious personality, Jenkins has repeatedly suspected that there is something wrong with the cats he raises. But all the suspicions proved to be Jenkins's unreasonable troubles. Therefore, he attributed all the abnormalities in Chocolate to the magic potion.

Early on Wednesday morning, he received a reply from the city of Shire.

Old Jack's real name must not be "Jack Jack". Jenkins originally thought that his real name would be at the end of the letter, but he didn't expect that it would still be "Jack".

Miss Audrey used a pseudonym to follow the ancient tradition of fortune-tellers. So, what was Old Jack doing?

He couldn't figure it out at all.

In the reply, he first answered Jenkins' question. [Animal Spiritual Revelation Potion] may indeed delay or even stop the growth of the organisms taken. But this is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it means that the life cycle of animals is extended. To put it simply, it becomes long-lived.

This is a good thing. Jenkins was originally worried that cats have a shorter lifespan than humans. In a few decades, whether he would use a special ritual called [Breath of Life] to extend the life of Chocolate because he was reluctant to give it up. Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Chocolate might live longer than him.

He patted his cat, but Chocolate ignored him and concentrated on licking the milk.

This is really a well-behaved cat. He always likes to stay with Jenkins. Even if he jumps out of the fence alone, he will remember to go home in time. Jenkins was worried for a while that Chocolate would get lost, after all, he didn't want to wear a collar or a nameplate. But later he thought that with Chocolate's wisdom, if he disappeared one day, it must not be lost, but he didn't want to see Jenkins again.

Chocolate looked back at Jenkins, who looked sad, and then rubbed his wrist with the tip of his tail.

Jenkins' mood immediately improved.

Old Jack easily identified what the leaves Jenkins sent over were. He even told Jenkins with certainty that those leaves must have fallen from the [Malicious Wishing Tree].

The excitement of the old man can be felt between the lines. He told Jenkins that this kind of leaves from the ancient tree with extraordinary power is the best material for preparing potions related to [Life]. He used three pages of letter paper to introduce the knowledge of pharmacy, and it seems that he has not given up the idea of ​​making Jenkins his apprentice.

Even in these three pages, there is a complete method of making a potion called [Witch's Kiss]. Old Jack did not put all the steps of making the potion together, but mentioned it casually bit by bit. This potion can only be used by women. After drinking it, it can show characteristics such as "radiant" and "charming" in the eyes of others for a short time.

Specific changes are not limited to minor adjustments in appearance, changes in body odor, etc.

"What does he mean by this?"

Jenkins looked at the complete ritual process and the required materials that he had copied down, and guessed in his heart that this was another temptation to take the initiative to make potions to increase his interest in this craft.

But unfortunately, if he chose another type of potion, Jenkins might really try it, but even if this potion was made, he would have no one to give it to.

Old Jack also sent Jenkins a gift for the Book Festival, which was an iron ring made by himself. When worn on the hand, it could identify some poisons. This ring is effective within three weeks and can identify a wide range of poisons.

He played with it in his hand for a while, and then put it on his right index finger, because this finger was the most suitable for the size of the ring.

Jenkins didn't even mention the [Doomsday Document] to his father, because he needed to keep this secret strictly. Except for some information he learned from Captain Binsi, he knew nothing about this item.

But it did mention the "twin demons", which meant that this matter had a great relationship with Jenkins.

Early in the morning of this day, Jenkins watched Chocolate huddled in front of the fireplace in the antique shop. Its small body was reflected on the extremely clean gold surface that was scrubbed on the side, which looked extremely funny.

After cleaning, Jenkins copied the tadpole text while talking to his father about recent events.

It was already the second half of October, and the temperature in the morning was particularly low. But it is also a very pleasant thing to sit comfortably in the antique shop and watch the pedestrians outside hunching their necks and hurriedly passing by the door.

Dad is still wearing that ugly red cashmere vest today, wearing his monocle with only yellow aura, and playing with a gear in his hand.

This gear was taken from a person infected with the [Gear Bacteria]. After confirming that it is completely harmless, it was handed over to Dad for research.

Jenkins felt that this thing was not valuable, because since the morning, the aura on it has been constantly weakening, and it is about to become completely ordinary.

Dad lowered his head and listened to Jenkins's story about the weekend night again, and then whispered how lucky they were to meet God's grace.

He also knew about the Asyash family. After telling Jenkins some terrible rumors, they talked about Baron Augustus again.

When Dad went to Baron Augustus's manor to purchase antiques, he also recovered some books that recorded mystical information. In the books, there are things related to Asyash.

The sky was a little gloomy, and there was no sunshine all morning. The last days of autumn were coming to an end, but the severe cold also meant that if you didn't stock up on food before the first snow fell, it would be difficult to survive this winter.

Thursday was Book Festival, and Daddy also made some decorations in the store. They took advantage of the fact that there were no customers in the morning, moved the ladder, and hung a string of small silver-inlaid metal book decorations around the wall. In order to cooperate with the festival, Daddy also hung up antiques such as ancient books, and sold them at a discount, which was also a good marketing method.

Jenkins asked about the auction that Hathaway mentioned, which would be held on the black market on Friday. Daddy actually knew about it, and he casually told Jenkins that it was best not to get too involved in this matter. He received a rumor that there was indeed a gift to be auctioned, but that thing was not only not legitimate, but even its owner had very big problems.

So Jenkins honestly gave up the idea of ​​​​that thing. He had been in enough trouble recently, and it was enough to be his apprentice with peace of mind.

PS: Please help me to downvote the book review in the book review area. The user who posted it is called: A Gentleman, Not a Lady. He is right at the front. Needless to say, I have banned him. Just downvote him. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

I will update one more chapter in the evening.

Chapter 228 Chapter 224 The Widow and the Detective

It was almost lunch time, and the two bored men were still chatting casually.

Ding-dong~

The bell on the door rang. I didn't expect that there would be guests at this time.

The visitor was a woman wearing a black veil and a conservative black dress. She wore a black hat on her head with a white flower on it.

If I guessed correctly, this lady should have just attended a funeral.

"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"

Jenkins, as an apprentice, took the initiative to talk.

"Hello, sir."

The woman greeted in a low voice. Her voice was low, but it could be identified that she was about forty years old. Jenkins looked out and saw a carriage parked at the door. This should be a wealthy lady.

"My husband just passed away. This is a big blow to me."

She sobbed softly as she spoke. She took the white handkerchief handed over by Jenkins, thanked him softly, and then reached behind her veil to wipe her tears.

"He loved collecting those old things when he was alive, and he also accumulated some at home. I can't keep them. When I see them, I can't help it, I can't help it..."

The woman sobbed softly again, and Jenkins looked back at his father helplessly. The old man winked at him, indicating that he should solve it himself.

After preparing hot tea, the woman finally adjusted her mood. The maid who stayed in the carriage outside the door also came in, and together with Jenkins, let the woman sit in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace.

The next conversation was between Jenkins and the maid. According to her, her employers were Mr. David and Mrs. David. Mr. David died unexpectedly due to heart disease last week. According to local customs, the funeral was held today.

Mrs. Davide has been in this state of sadness ever since that day, and the poor woman still cannot accept this fact. After seeing a professional psychiatrist, the doctor suggested that Mrs. Davide leave Nolan City temporarily after the funeral, go somewhere else to relax, and at the same time avoid contact with things related to her deceased husband.

That's why she came here after the funeral, hoping that the antique store employees would follow her home and give a rough valuation of the things in the house.

That's what happened, but Dad can't go out today - Miss Mihail made an appointment last week to come over today and ask him to appraise a newly acquired antiquities for her.

Several people discussed it and decided that Jenkins would go to David's house instead of his father. Although he is still relatively young, David’s antiques all have appraisal certificates, which is how a true collector behaves.

Therefore, Jenkins went over and just confirmed whether the thing existed and then reported back.

Without having lunch, the hard-working apprentice Mr. William put on his coat and set off following the carriage. Mrs. Davide was still in a bad mood, but she agreed to let Chocolate come along.

On the carriage, she kept telling Jenkins about how she and Mr. David raised cats together more than twenty years ago. It sounded funny at first, but as the lady talked, she would start crying uncontrollably. The middle-aged maid took care of her carefully, while Jenkins hugged his cat, hoping that the trip would end soon.

This situation is really embarrassing for him who is not good at social interaction.

The David family should be quite wealthy, and their house is larger than the Willamette family's house. This is also in the Sabine area, still some distance from Willamette's house.

As I walked out of the carriage holding the chocolate, I didn't expect that a man wearing a brown hat, a classic three-piece suit and a dark extended windbreaker with turned-up lapels and a scarf for warmth in late winter was already standing outside the house.

"Detective Ignatz, you're so early."

With the support of the maid, Mrs. David greeted the man, and then the four of them walked into the yard together.

The two ladies walked in front, Jenkins and the man behind. Seeing the detective looking at him and the cat with deep eyes, Jenkins took the initiative to hand over the business card of his father's antique shop.

The detective also handed over his business card:

【Erwin Ignatz

38B Tibister Avenue

Howard Detective Agency]

Mr. Detective also looked at the one Jenkins handed over. He was just an apprentice, so he didn't have his own business card. This one was actually a card from the store, but it had the names of his father and Jenkins, so he carried it with him as his business card, definitely not to save money.
