The Master of the Strange Realm

"Speak directly, Mr. Willamette."

"Do I need to take some notes?"

He straightened his back and asked seriously.

"......It will be all right."

This night, they had been talking about the history and development of divination, without even exploring the relationship between divination and the spirit of the world from the perspective of the giver. But history is always interesting, and Jenkins thought it was, much to Miss Audrey's admiration.

Considering that the next meeting might be two weeks later, Miss Audrey also made a list of books for Jenkins to read in his free time. The list of contents was not very long, but he discovered a few days later that they were very thick.

There is one more thing.

"Since you are going to the royal capital, can you give me something?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

Miss Audrey asked Jenkins to deliver a letter, and the address was an apartment in the city of Belduran. The recipient is Miss Audrey's childhood dance teacher. The poor old man was recently defrauded of most of her life savings by a group of scammers. Miss Audrey hopes to help her.

There was no aura inside the envelope. It felt like it contained banknotes and letter paper, so there should be no surprises on this errand.

Things had to be dealt with one by one. Since Mr. Corpse's party would still be held for some time, Jenkins had nothing else to do during the two days of the weekend except saying goodbye to all his friends.

Professor Burns asked Jenkins to go to the Tiegel Museum in Belduran to pick up some documents. These materials were very important, and the postal service in this era was obviously very risky. If Jenkins didn't happen to be going somewhere, then Professor Burns would have already asked his students to set off.

Hathaway and Miss Michael spent the entire afternoon talking excitedly to Jenkins about the customs, customs and food of Beldiland. Unlike Jenkins, a child from a "poor family", these two ladies travel around the mainland every summer and are even more familiar with Beldiran. Together, they suggested that Jenkins go to a certain pedestrian street to try expensive food, and gave him the addresses of several friends he could go to for help if he got into trouble in Belduran.

"I should live in the church, where the Holy See of the [Knowledge and Books] Church is..."

"So, in addition to being able to meet Her Majesty the Queen, you can even meet the Pope?"

The ladies seemed even more excited than Jenkins. In their words, the aristocratic dance in Belduran was much more interesting than the local one.

Of course, Hathaway seemed to be hinting to Jenkins not to attend a prom invited by a girl she didn't know. Her hint was so obvious that Jenkins thought not only he could see it, but also Miss Michael and Chocolate.

Miss Michael thinks so too.

He asked the two ladies if they wanted to bring some souvenirs. They all knew that Jenkins had become rich recently, but they all just asked for some cheap specialties.

Robert and Mary had already learned about Jenkins' travel plan, and the latter was eager to pack all his luggage for him.

Mary packed plenty of changes of clothes for Jenkins and even a sweater for Chocolate, citing the recent drastic change in weather. He did not refuse, but due to limited space in a suitcase, he could only leave the clothes at home.

There is not much luggage to take with him on this trip. Except for spending three days and two nights on a steam train, the church will take care of all his needs for this trip.

Therefore, only one change of clothes was needed, and since all the belongings were destroyed in the pool under the giant tree, there were no dangerous items to carry. A black leather suitcase is enough. Although I also want to bring a cat carrier to prevent naughty kittens from wandering around on the train, Chocolate will definitely not agree.

The identification of the black gemstone necklace soon yielded results. This item is very famous. B-12-5-8812, the summoner of the black mist. After injecting the spirit, he can temporarily summon some dense fog around him that blocks his sight.

The legendary nature of this item does not lie in its function, because there are quite a few abilities and items that can do this. The legendary nature of this item lies in the fact that it has been frequently discovered and recorded over the years, but often disappears or loses its trace.

Two B-12-5-8812s have never appeared at the same time, but it is believed that this necklace is more than just one.

The reason is that its loss and appearance are irregular. It is often difficult to make an exact connection between the last loss and the next appearance.

For example, the last time B-12-5-8812 appeared was in March 1601 of the universal calendar. Its owner was a cultist from the cult [Dragon Hunting Association], with at least twenty people. I saw the necklace and the man falling into an active volcano overseas. But this time, Jenkins discovered that it was actually accompanied by a batch of antique jewelry from the previous era.

Dad was very interested in this phenomenon. Although the necklace was taken away by Jenkins, he somehow delayed the auction of the manor and prepared to conduct an in-depth investigation into the origin of the antique jewelry.

Another point is that when Dad told Jenkins, his expression was very meaningful:

"The function of this necklace is to dodge and defend."

He thrust the chain into Jenkins' hands.

"His previous owners were all vortexes of trouble, so B-12-5-8812 can be fully utilized every time. This may be some kind of curse. But I am not worried about you at all, because after getting Before that, you were already a troublemaker."

On Monday morning, before the sun penetrated the curtains and shone into the bedroom, Jenkins, who was sleeping in the living room, had already walked out of the bathroom.

He squatted next to the sofa and poked Chocolate's back, then got up and went to the door to get milk and newspapers. The train departs at nine o'clock in the morning. Because it is the departure station, the probability of delay is very low. In addition, Jenkins is a VIP carriage and has a special boarding channel, so the chance of missing the train is even lower.

The suitcase containing the luggage and the walking stick were placed under the clothes hanger at the door. There was also a notebook on the box with the latest itinerary inside.

The journey is about to begin.

Chapter 418 Chapter 412 Travel Divination

Chocolat probably knew that he was going on a long trip, so he ate breakfast very cheerfully. While Jenkins was reading the newspaper, it kept picking at the newspaper with its paws, making a hole in the mayor's face.

But it’s still early, so there’s no need to leave now.

The neighbors also knew that Jenkins had won the Kingdom's literary award. During breakfast, the Goodman family next door came to visit and gave him a celebratory gift - a bottle of champagne. As for the widow who lives on the other side, Jenkins has not met this woman recently. She may have temporarily moved somewhere else to give birth.

At seven-thirty, he stood up from the sofa, put on his boots and checked the windows of the house, then walked out of the hall with the cat in his arms, his cane under his arm and his hat.

He looked up at the bedroom on the second floor, inserted the big copper key into the keyhole, turned it twice, heard a click, and locked the door.

Dad, Robert, and Mary would see him off at the station, so there was no need to wait for anyone. Walking to the street with excitement, she saw Miss Audrey waving to her from the carriage window, and the coachman stopped the carriage smoothly in front of Jenkins.

"Go to the station."

After getting in the car, Miss Audrey said this to the coachman, and the carriage set off again.

"There is no need for you to come see me off again. I will be back in a week. Oh, by the way, Miss Miller sent a letter from Loen and she asked me to deliver it to you."

Since he has been very busy in recent days, Jenkins has only met with Miss Miller once since the Evergreen Forest incident and told her that there was no big problem here. Although it would be easier to read the letter once and then copy it by reading and writing in a book of memories when he comes back, he respects other people's privacy and shamelessly asked the protoss Rakul to help send the original.

His explanation to Miss Miller was that he owned props similar to B-11-2-5432, a pair of mailboxes, and she did not ask further questions.

"OK."

Miss Audrey put the letter away, and then took out a set of divination cards: "I just remembered that I haven't performed divination for your trip yet. Come and give it a try."

She put the stack of cards directly into Jenkins' hand and asked him to pull out one at will.

"Did the divination trip go well? Do we need any other preparations?"

"unnecessary."

The woman nodded and looked at Jenkins' hand expectantly.

After a moment of hesitation, he fanned the cards, and then randomly pulled out a card from the right side of the center.

He handed the card to Miss Audrey and arranged the remaining cards on his knees.

"How about it?"

He was also looking forward to it.

"Interesting prediction, if it's really accurate..."

Miss Audrey turned the card over. On the card was a black mask reversed.

"The black mask is murder, and I remember the reversed version represents..."

Jenkins didn't memorize these things, but they must be in the books in the suitcase.

"It means that murder will not happen to you, but it will happen to you, and it will have a great connection with you."

She reinserted the card into the deck, then rinsed the card with skillful techniques and handed it to Jenkins:

"Come again."

"Can divination be done twice?"

He had doubts in his mind, but he still reached out and pulled out the top card. This time, I looked at the card first: the golden crown in the upright position.

"What does the crown mean? Sorry, I only remember the king upright and reversed."

"Good luck in your career, your trip will achieve what you want."

Her words at this time were like those of a layman who knew nothing but still tried to explain the meaning of divination. But Jenkins trusted this woman's divination ability, not only because she was his nominal teacher, but also because her divination had never been wrong.

Thinking of this, I also remembered that during a certain card divination, it represented a sign of the future, which was the resurrection cross.

"Perhaps Miss Audrey knows the role of the [immortal] ability. After all, the ancient information stored by the Church of Destiny and Law is comparable to that of the Church of Sages."

While thinking, Miss Audrey placed the reshuffled cards in front of Jenkins for the third time:

"Again."

"Okay...but I remember you once said that divination of the same thing is only useful the first time. Trying to piece together the signs of the future through multiple divination is something only a fool would do."

"Yes, it seems that you are really studying seriously. But there are always exceptions..."

Blinking, I saw Miss Audrey's ability shining brightly, and then I suddenly realized it. He reached out to touch another card, but his hand stopped again in mid-air.

"Since it's to divine the future of my trip, why not give Chocolate a try? Observing the omens from different angles should have better results."

Miss Audrey was also stunned, and then looked at the cat on Jenkins' lap that suddenly opened its eyes:

"That's true. Maybe you are really the type of person best suited to learn divination. This is a very good idea."

Jenkins picked up Chocolate without any explanation. It screamed and struggled desperately, and the narrow carriage immediately became a mess.

In a panic, Chocolate's paw knocked out one of the cards. The card fell on the ground of the carriage. It was the lunar eclipse.

"This is a rare card."

The woman picked up the fortune-telling card and looked at the kitten, which had regained its composure and was sleeping on her knees, with some doubts in her eyes.

But she quickly put her doubts behind her and introduced the meaning of this card to Jenkins:

"I have always done divination for humans, so interpreting the future of animals may be a little biased. This card represents accidents and bumps. You, or your cat, will encounter a series of troubles in the future, but these troubles are all It will not bring fatal danger. The moon itself has hidden meanings, and the scope of Ms. Sunless Moon’s vocation includes [keeping secrets], so after the ups and downs, you will spy on some secret things. Some extremely valuable gains were not obtained.”

"Meow~"

Chocolate yelled obediently in response to Miss Audrey's words. Jenkins stroked its soft back, feeling a little uneasy.

In the end, he did not directly ask about the [Immortal], but planned to test it after the trip.

The carriage took Jenkins to the intersection next to the station. Before getting off the carriage, Miss Audrey gave Jenkins a necklace with a shell-shaped metal pendant hanging on it.

PS: I changed the cover of this book and it feels pretty good, at least better than the previous one. The original picture can be found in Du Niang pictures by using the keywords "Assassin's Creed" and "London".

Chapter 419 Chapter 413 Farewell to Nolan

This necklace is an item that Miss Audrey personally blessed in a ceremony. It has a faint golden aura and can help the wearer improve bad luck within two months.

Of course, she also reminded Jenkins to finish reading the books on the list.

Watching Jenkins walking towards the station with his suitcase, the woman sighed and asked the driver to go to the next destination. She took out the letter just now, flipped through the envelope, raised her eyebrows, and then took out the letter paper inside.

This was just a short message, but it took Miss Audrey a long time to read it.

She frowned and looked at the passers-by outside the window, and summoned the ability light point in front of her. Sure enough, there was another one: [Guide to Destiny (Purple Destiny)].

"Did you really place a matching bet?"

No one can answer this question.

As soon as I got off Miss Audrey's carriage, I turned the corner and saw the noisy and chaotic Nolan Station. But there was a carriage parked near the entrance of the alley, and Hathaway waved to Jenkins.

"Hathaway, there is no need for you to see me off again. I will be back in a week."

After boarding the carriage, he uttered the same sentence.

The red-haired lady today was wearing a sky-blue dress that Jenkins had never seen before. The cuffs were made of multi-layered lace. She tied up her overskirt directly and exposed part of her petticoat. Like most young girls of this era, she must have put a lot of effort into the color of her petticoat.

"Isn't Miss Michael here?"

After asking this question, the face of the lady opposite who was still maintaining a sweet smile immediately turned from sunny to cloudy.

He also knew that this was a silly question no matter from which angle he looked at it, so he quickly rectified it:

"Oh, I mean, thank you for coming to see me off. Thank you so much."

His clumsy look made Hathaway's face slightly better, but she still pursed her lips:

"That's not okay, Mr. Great Writer. With your current social skills, you will definitely be laughed at in the capital. People there look down on 'country people' like us, huh~..."

This is what is called the sound of ridicule.

"And those old nobles also hate people who get titles by taking advantage of the convenience of the times. Of course, your situation will be better. Take it, our etiquette course has not been finished yet, but I have written the content here. You need to spend all your time on the train trip to be able to solve the difficulties you encounter. Be more confident, young sir. I know that you have been considering staying in the church after arriving at Belduran... ..."

What she handed to Jenkins was a notebook with a black cover. When she opened it, it was densely packed with Juanxiu's letters. Occasionally there are some pencil drawing illustrations to explain the postures in more detail.

"This, I really don't know how to thank you."
