The Master of the Strange Realm
Chapter 219
Before meeting the unicorn, Jenkins had always believed that it was a creature with slightly higher intelligence than ordinary horses based on what he had learned from books. But in fact, after contacting it, he realized that their intelligence was only slightly lower than that of Chocolate, who had recently shown signs of becoming a spirit.
Because Jenkins was very friendly to the three ladies, it did not mind being touched by them. Miss Stuart's eyes had not blinked from the beginning, and she almost pounced on the little beast.
"See, if you agree to let people touch you, then your popularity must be higher than it!"
Jenkins whispered to his cat, and then reached out to touch it again. Chocolate's tail swung on the back of Jenkins' hand, forbidding him to do so now to express his feelings.
Section 504 Chapter 497 The Writer and the Princess
The existence of the unicorn requires Jenkins to constantly pay for his own spirit as a price, and the projection state at this time increases the loss, so shortly after entering the mansion, Jenkins had to let it go back first.
It lowered its head again, rubbed the back of Jenkins' hand with its horn, and then reluctantly walked towards the gradually illusory space wall behind it.
"Mr. William, is that really the unicorn mentioned in the book? God, it is thousands of times more beautiful than I imagined!"
Dolores no longer cared about her plan of playing hard to get.
"Yes, I accidentally gained the ability to summon it in the strange world."
He said, sitting on the familiar chair in front of the fireplace. Miss Miller had gone to the darkroom to process the photos, so there were only the princess, the servant and Jenkins here.
He suddenly didn't know what to say next, because in his understanding, he and the other party were still in an awkward relationship.
"Miss Stuart, your clothes today are really beautiful."
He still used Professor Hathaway's routine.
"Really, you are so good at talking... Do you know my last name is Stuart?"
Jenkins' smile froze on his face, but it returned to normal in less than a second. He had been preventing all kinds of identity exposure, and the embarrassment at this time was just a small matter:
"Yes."
He scratched his face embarrassedly:
"I knew it a few weeks ago. After all, the Kingsley family is a famous local noble family. It is not difficult to investigate if there are several heirs in such a family. But just as we are forced to conceal our identities, you must have reasons to conceal your own identities. Miss Miller and I have discussed for a long time, but we still haven't exposed you."
At this time, the conversation technique of nine truths and one lie is the most effective.
As expected, Miss Stuart also laughed embarrassedly:
"I'm so sorry, my identity is also very sensitive, so I have to hide my identity from you two."
After that, the two smiled at each other, which was considered to be a temporary resolution of the conflict.
"Great, the relationship has eased!"
Jenkins thought happily in his heart, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Great, the relationship has eased!"
Dolores was also very happy, and also picked up the teacup in front of her.
It was not in Jenkins' plan to meet Miss Stuart's visit, but it was a pleasant surprise to be able to ease the relationship between the two. Before Miss Miller came back, he had made his trip to Beldiran the subject of the conversation, and greatly emphasized the help that Miss Stuart's etiquette training had given him.
Miss Stuart listened carefully to Jenkins's anecdotes about the trip, and commented on some things from time to time. For example, she was surprised by Miss Windsor's ball dress, and thought that it would definitely become the most popular ball dress this winter.
After learning that Jenkins still needed an etiquette teacher for more standard training, she took the initiative to take on this position. Of course, the price was that Jenkins had to extend Julia's knowledge training as a gifter.
The little maid sighed helplessly, and her princess once again managed to knock down two wild geese with a stone.
Miss Miller quickly opened the door and walked in, and regretfully told Jenkins that the photos needed further processing, so he couldn't see them tonight.
She soon realized that the attitudes of the two people who were talking had changed a lot, so she smiled and sat in her chair, and inserted into the conversation at the right time.
Taking advantage of the time, Jenkins asked her about some of the troubles he had encountered recently. This lady was always very knowledgeable.
"Dampires? Another alien creature appeared in Nolan City?"
Although Miss Miller's tone was surprised, her expression was as expected. The ones who really showed surprise were Miss Stuart and Julia. In their opinion, vampires and unicorns were things that were impossible to see.
"Mr. William, may I ask what a vampire is..."
"The ugly kind in the field of mysticism, not the handsome kind in novels."
He guessed the woman's question at once.
"I currently understand the infection and blood dependence characteristics of vampires, and I have learned that this creature is afraid of fire and can be targeted with a blood toxin. In ancient times, there was a complete set of vampire hunter chain abilities. Do you have anything else to add?"
"This is already very comprehensive, Jenkins."
Miss Miller nodded, "It's even more comprehensive than what I know... But why are you so worried about these things? Whether it's a pure blood-sucking race or a servant infected by them, there is no shadow. Relying on this point, there is no need to worry that they will get close to you and harm you. Besides, Nolan City is so big, the possibility of encountering it should be small."
Jenkins opened his mouth and didn't continue the topic. Since he learned about this creature, he vaguely felt that the two would definitely meet and conflict, which was the fundamental reason why he kept collecting information.
The second question was about the wordless note. He wanted to ask Miss Miller for a safe way to solve the puzzle. Miss Miller couldn't think of it for the time being, but Miss Stuart proposed a method:
"There is a special item B-04-5-2218 in the royal treasury, the secret-breaker's mirror, which is a special item for hidden text. Because it is rarely used, the church has not recovered it from the royal treasury. If you need it, I can find a way to bring it out next week."
"How can I be so embarrassed?"
He also felt that he was hypocritical.
"It's okay, it's easy."
Dolores smiled gently.
She stayed in Loon until late before returning home. During this time, Miss Stuart unexpectedly invited her to be a mathematics teacher. Although Miss Miller mentioned that she hated this position, she readily agreed.
If Jenkins remembered correctly, her second purpose of coming to Loon was to go to the tower to find some information, so becoming the princess's teacher was the first step of the plan.
She agreed with Miss Stuart that every Tuesday in the future would be a private gathering for four people, which could be considered a small-scale gathering of benefactors. Miss Stuart looked very happy, but Julia's expression made people a little worried.
But no matter what, Jenkins achieved all his goals this night. If he did not suffer a disastrous defeat in the battle to tie a bell to chocolate after returning to Nolan, then this would really be a perfect night.
Chapter 505 Chapter 498 Urgent Task
Early in the morning on Wednesday, Dad gave Jenkins a difficult problem. He took out the vase sent by the Stres family yesterday morning and asked Jenkins to infer the manufacturing date of the vase within ten minutes.
If he failed, then his weekend reading experience might be a few inches more.
"It will not be earlier than 1309 in the universal calendar, because the earliest porcelain products were discovered in that year. It can be seen that the manufacturing process of this vase is quite mature, so the manufacturing time should be after the mature period of porcelain manufacturing technology!"
Dad nodded, but Jenkins was worried that he was just pretending to be perfunctory and was actually preparing to scold himself in his heart, so he still stared at him.
"This time it's really right, you can continue, young people should have some confidence in themselves."
Jenkins smiled with satisfaction, leaned down, and checked the texture and damage of the bottle with white gloves:
"The artistic style tends to be in the middle period of the ancient Hikari Empire... or it may be in the middle and late period."
Look at Dad again.
"I won't always give you hints. Time is running out, you should hurry up."
"Okay, Dad."
He picked up the round lens next to him and put it in front of his eyes, staring at the material of the bottle and the wear of the bottle mouth. He even sniffed it with his nose, but it was useless.
After Dad looked at the wall clock and started the countdown, Jenkins licked his lips and said what he thought was the answer:
"About 1400 to 1423!"
"Are you sure?"
"Dad, don't play these psychological tricks, just tell me the answer, I'm ready!"
"The answer is correct!"
"Thank you, sage!"
Jenkins' eyes were full of relief. This was one of the few times he could guess correctly. With a better mood, he naturally talked more:
"Since it is such a valuable vase, how did the family surnamed Stress get it? It can't be passed down from their ancestors, right?"
"Of course not."
The old man touched his nose. He had already prepared all the books for Jenkins to read more, but those things can be left until next week:
"The eldest daughter of the Stress family is a female worker in a cotton textile factory, which is the factory area in the east of the city. People often throw garbage nearby, so a garbage mountain has formed. You also grew up in Nolan, so you should know where I am talking about."
"I know. In the past few years, the municipal government would clean up on time and throw the garbage into the deep sea. But later, it was protested by the believers of the [Ocean and Exploration Church], so they had to build a large garbage incineration plant nearby. I heard from the Nolan Daily last week that the garbage mountain will be completely solved before next summer at the latest."
In fact, the opportunity to build a garbage disposal plant was the silver dizziness in the past few weeks. Some people believed that this plague was caused by too much garbage piled up around the city, so they protested in the newspaper. This statement is obviously wrong, but the purpose is indeed beneficial to the citizens.
"Next summer?"
Dad snorted, obviously not agreeing with this speculation, but he quickly came back to his senses and continued the conversation just now:
"As the garbage mountain goes down, some daily necessities from many years ago are exposed. Since someone picked up valuable jewelry there, there will always be children or idle workers who go to pick up the garbage. The vase was taken back by the eldest daughter of the Stres family who worked nearby. I have to say that they are really lucky."
"How much do you value it?"
Jenkins asked again.
"The selling price is at least..."
Dingdong~
The door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and the bell hanging on the door rang. The two looked at the door together, only to see a carriage parked at the door. Captain Binsi pushed the door and waved to Jenkins:
"Come quickly, you need to go for treatment, something big happened this morning!"
The destination is the church's secret sanatorium on the outskirts of the city. When the carriage rushed into the yard, Jenkins could already see the injured carried in on stretchers at the door of the main building from the window.
"What happened?"
I didn't have time to ask along the way, but just listened to Captain Binsi's repeated explanation of what to do after arriving.
"We received news from the Karfask field yesterday evening. After comparison, we thought we had found a large-scale settlement of vampire servants. Who would have thought that after the combat team assembled and set out this morning, they encountered no vampires at all, but the witches from the Witch House!"
As he said this, he stamped his feet angrily, and then pulled Jenkins off the carriage without stopping, walked into the main building of the hospital, turned to the side and walked up the stairs. Seeing Jenkins coming, the people on the stairs consciously made way.
"All our preparations were aimed at vampires, and the sudden battle caught both sides off guard. Even though we won, we paid a heavy price. Those lunatics are worthy of summoning giant monsters from the shadow world. This time, they actually buried a circle of steam bombs near their base! Don't let me know where those bombs came from..."
Most of the injured were injured by the bombs that eventually perished together, but fortunately, almost everyone in the combat unit had the divine ability [Blessing of Books], so there were only two victims on the spot.
This is already a great sacrifice. It is very difficult to cultivate a gifted person. The scribes who can join the combat unit have spent a lot of time and resources to grow up. Compared with the huge population base of human beings, the number of gifted people is very small. Whether it is the Church of the True God or other organizations and churches of false gods, gifted people have always been the rarest and most precious group of people. Battles that kill and injure hundreds of people will never exist in the world of gifted people.
This treatment lasted from the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon. With the assistance of the life gem, Jenkins' endurance when using the healing ability was greatly enhanced. In addition, there were two other healers in the parish. The three of them worked together and finally no new victims appeared.
After being busy for several hours, Jenkins finally took time to sit on the bench in the corridor of the inpatient department. Chocolate held the green bead and pushed it. For it, these few hours were really boring.
When all the work was finished, the sun had already set below the western sky, and the golden light was reflected on the wasteland west of the sanatorium. The bright light made it difficult to open your eyes.
It was still Captain Binsi who sent Jenkins back. Most of his team members were lying in the sanatorium, so he had to do everything himself today.
"Where are you going? Dad's antique shop or your home?"
"To the church. I have a math class tonight."
Chapter 506 Chapter 499 The Evil Spirit and the Witch
"Is it too tiring? I think it's okay to take a leave."
Hearing that Jenkins didn't plan to rest, Captain Binsi frowned and suggested.
"No, and after the math class, I have to participate in Miss Befanna's combat training, which I absolutely can't refuse."
Since accepting the job of teaching night classes in the church in the end of autumn, Jenkins has never postponed any class except for some special circumstances. But as time went on, his enthusiasm for this job also decreased a lot. Although he was still very serious, it was not as good as when he first started.
According to the schedule, today we have to talk about more complicated currency conversions, which involve non-decimal operations. Even though everyone uses coins, most people who come to the night class rarely have the opportunity to use currencies other than copper pennies, which makes this class very difficult.
In order to encourage believers to attend classes on winter nights and to attract new believers, the church has recently tried every means to promote the church night class. The method is obviously useful, because the large classroom of the arithmetic class tonight is almost full of people.
According to Reverend Roberts, a large part of the "new classmates" are female workers in textile factories and dock workers. These people are eager to change their living class through their own efforts, and learning knowledge is obviously a more correct method.
At least from a superficial probability perspective, an increase in the number of people will lead to more accidents. The charm of mathematics once again appeared beside Jenkins, because he did encounter a small accident.
It was not the eldest daughter of the Stres family. Although she also worked in a textile factory, considering the large number of people engaged in this work in Nolan City, it is definitely a low probability event to encounter her.
The real surprise was that Jenkins had a sudden inspiration and took a quick look with his true eye, and he discovered that there was an evil spirit next to the haggard middle-aged woman sitting in the corner near the front row.
Since this is a church of the righteous God, the evil spirit is suppressed very strongly. Even if Jenkins does nothing, it will die before the normal course ends.
"What's going on?"
