The Master of the Strange Realm

The size of the [Life Orb] is far larger than that of ordinary toy glass beads. The shop owner promised to search for it, but wasted some time and couldn't find it. During this period, a second person entered the store. He bought all the messy things in the store, and finally packed a large box and left.

Since he didn't have the glass beads he wanted, Jenkins ended up buying a new poker. The one in the antique store is a bit old, so a replacement would be a good idea.

"That person just now specializes in buying old goods and then refurbishing them and selling them. Grocery stores in the city are his target customers."

When giving Jenkins change, the store owner explained that Jenkins was taking care of his cat, so he just said "Hmm~" to indicate that he heard it.

"I have sold him a lot of things, such as bones washed up on the beach, old fruit bowls used by other people, and strange-shaped stones picked up in the fields. He can always turn these wastes into useful things for sale. , this guy is really talented..."

"Um."

Jenkins nodded and wrestled a finger with the cat's paw. It's more like playing, except it's hard to tell who is playing with whom.

"Um?"

After a few seconds, Jenkins suddenly realized that he heard a familiar phrase.

"Fruit tray?"

"Yes, just last year, a thief stole a lot of trash from an old gentleman who lived alone. He really didn't want to leave empty-handed. He would rather take some trash than leave empty-handed."

The store owner didn't mind telling Jenkins about his purchasing channels. In fact, it didn't matter even if Jenkins heard it, because everyone would do this kind of thing.

"Is it this one?"

Even knowing the odds were slim, Jenkins thought he should give it a try. After interrupting the shopkeeper, he put his hand into his pocket and directly used [Reading and Writing] to draw his fruit plate to look like a photo.

Along with the photo, there was a 1 pound note, so the shop owner enthusiastically answered Jenkins' questions.

"Probably, it was last year, I don't remember it very clearly. Do you want to find this fruit plate? Sorry, the guy who stole things died in the Silver Vertigo incident last year."

he said apologetically.

"No, I don't want to find the guy who stole..."

Jenkins' eyes were wandering. Until now, he still couldn't believe that he was so lucky to be able to find the next clue about the fruit plate after losing the clue. Before this, he actually didn't have much hope that the previous owner of the fruit plate would know more about the characteristics of the fruit plate. Therefore, after the clues were cut off at that grocery store, he did not conduct any further investigations. Unexpectedly, now Things took the initiative to find him... (note)

“Where did that old man who lived alone, the one-time owner of the fruit bowl, live?”

He handed over another bill, and the shopkeeper looked at him with a raised eyebrow, then two fingers deep, so Jenkins added another.

The shopkeeper immediately reached out and took out a black book from under the counter. After flipping through it for a while, he pointed out an address to Jenkins.

Jenkins left after writing down the address. The address was at the other end of the city, a rental apartment near Privet Drive, so it was far away from Dad's antique shop. Jenkins planned to investigate when he had time. Anyway, there was no rush in this matter.

Because the cat took a stroll in the morning, I arrived at Dad’s antique store a little late. But Dad didn't say anything, and he didn't really mind when Jenkins arrived at the store as long as he didn't run around.

Dad also told Jenkins a new thing. The church discovered that Miss Knight had dragon scales growing on her body.

"Um?"

Jenkins expressed surprise: "The church peeped at Miss Knight taking a shower?"

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

Dad wanted to throw the newspaper in Jenkins' face, but he slowly said again:

"It was Nate who discovered that something was wrong with his skin, so he took the initiative to seek help from the church. It happened that Cappe was there at that time. She thought it was a rare atavism. She had seen it at the [Church of All Things and Nature]. Celtic ·The scale-like lines on Knight’s skin were most likely dragon scales, so we conducted a more professional examination.”

Dad shrugged, indicating to Jenkins that was all he knew.

Miss Knight and Miss Cappy were both companions who had adventured with Jenkins in the mirror world, but only Miss Cappy and Jenkins made it to the end. Miss Cape once suspected that Miss Knight and the huntress Miss Warfield, who left the team early, actually discovered something in the mirror world. Jenkins didn't believe it at the time.

But after Miss Knight came out of the mirror world, the phenomenon of atavistic bloodline awakening actually appeared...

"How is she now? Miss Knight, I mean."

"Stay in the Evergreen Forest and undergo observation. People from the Church of the Sun and Justice will receive the news and will come to deal with this matter. After all, dragon blood is very precious."

Dad continued to read the newspaper, sounding unconcerned about the matter.

"It's really strange recently. I haven't seen a lucky person who has awakened his ancestral bloodline for decades, and now there are two."

Dad muttered under his breath, and Jenkins thought the other of the two he was talking about was the poor woman who drank Pompeii's potion, but Cat knew that Dad was actually talking about some stupid man.

PS: The clue about why Jenkins found the fruit plate was not luck but inevitable... So I want to explain that it is not a coincidence that the author made up for the sake of plot development. You will know it after reading more than 30 chapters. .

Chapter 1036 Chapter 1018 Visiting the Store

"Meow~"

The conversation in the store continued. Chocolate stretched out his paw to scratch Jenkins, hoping that Jenkins could touch his back. Jenkins had no choice but to put down the pen he was writing in.

Today was still a very leisurely day. There were no guests in the morning. Jenkins went out at around ten o'clock to deliver a package for his father.

In the afternoon, a child on the street sent a letter to his father. His father lowered his head and read it for a while, then looked up at Jenkins, who was looking here curiously.

"A batch of suspicious goods are to be smuggled to Nolan by sea. They will arrive around twelve o'clock tonight."

"Want me to go with you?"

Jenkins asked expectantly.

"Need not!"

Dad immediately shook his head. The last time Jenkins went to see the smuggled goods with him, it directly caused a fire that burned half of the alley.

"But tonight a customer is coming to the antique store to pick up something. I hope you can help me look after the store in the evening and wait until the customer leaves before leaving. I remember that you will go out for an outing with your friends tomorrow... .”

"No, there's nothing wrong with that. I often stay up late, so even if I go to bed a little later, it's okay."

Jenkins immediately replied that his nightlife was usually very boring. Although I had planned to visit the original owner of the fruit bowl tonight, visiting the store was more important.

"This is my first time visiting a store at night. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Jenkins asked again. Dad thought about it and then said to him:

"If there are customers buying and selling things, deal with them as normal. If you encounter those customers selling goods of unknown origin, just tell them that you are an apprentice. Dad is not here tonight, and they will understand."

"Okay, that's easy."

Jenkins can handle this little thing.

"One more thing, when you leave the antique store at night, don't wander around. Go home directly. To be honest, I am more worried about you being in danger on the way home than worrying about you being in danger in the antique store."

Dad's worries were completely unnecessary, because Jenkins had a lot of experience walking at night. But considering that his luck was indeed weird, after getting off work in the evening, Jenkins did not stay at the antique store for dinner. Instead, he went home on the pretext of informing the maid that he did not have to cook dinner. The real purpose of returning to St. George Street was to obtain the seal of divinity. of metal placed on the body.

"This time there will be absolutely no problem!"

Thinking in his mind, he picked up the cat resting on the sofa, walked out of the house, turned around and locked the door again.

He collected his keys and walked towards the fence gate. At this time, a carriage happened to stop in front of the fence gate. The maid opened the car door and Britney followed. As soon as she looked up, she saw Jenkins who looked like he was about to go out, so she smiled and waved to him, then returned to the car.

This time Bryony came to see Jenkins alone. The so-called "alone" meant that the red-haired girl didn't know about it. Bryony was not as enthusiastic as Hathaway, and took the initiative to kiss Jenkins as soon as they came up, but when Jenkins sat next to her, she did not object to Jenkins holding her hand.

Thinking of that night last month, both of them blushed. That was the second time Jenkins was forced into the closet, and Britney officially declared her feelings to Jenkins.

Although nothing substantial happened between the two, Jenkins believed that it was only the last step...

"Don't scratch me."

Chocolate scratched the back of Jenkins' hand with his paw. Jenkins felt the pain and lowered his head to scold the cat softly.

"For tomorrow's outing, everyone has to gather outside the city. Hathaway and I will come to pick you up."

"Okay, I will wait for you on time...oh..."

Seeing the blonde girl blushing, Jenkins, who already understood what he wanted, hesitated for a few seconds and took the initiative to hug her. He originally planned to take the initiative to kiss him, but as soon as he reached out his hand, Brienne came over and kissed him.

It took a long time for the two to separate. Jenkins's face was probably redder than the girl's.

"Your skills are really bad..."

Bryony said softly, and Jenkins tried hard to restrain himself from saying things like "You are indeed more skilled than me."

"So, do you need me to practice for you often?"

The blonde girl's voice was very soft, very soft. At that moment, Jenkins' heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"Yes!"

As soon as I finished saying this, questions appeared in my mind:

"How could I say that?"

Jenkins suspected that he had been controlled by someone just now, but he knew very well that it was his choice.

Bryony was originally here to inform Jenkins about the outing tomorrow, so she dropped him off at the antique store and left. Along the way, the two "practiced" for a long time. When they separated, the blond girl specifically asked Jenkins not to tell the red-haired girl about this.

"She probably isn't ready yet, and I'm afraid Hathaway can't accept it yet. But I promise you, Jenkins, at least before the end of this summer, I will have a frank talk with her, as long as you are willing... Marry her and I will be your lover.”

For a few brief seconds, Jenkins thought he was a hopeless emotional liar. But later I thought it was a "boring game" that the two girls insisted on playing.

He thought carefully about everything that had happened since he met the girls, and realized that he had hardly taken the initiative so far.

"That's not possible. I have to be more proactive. Maybe I can ask them out to dinner or watch a movie when I have time."

He stood at the door of the antique store, watching the carriage slowly leaving along the Fifth Queen's Road. He thought for a long time before finally turning around and entering the antique store.

Dad will leave the antique store in half an hour. He is packing his things now, so he doesn't notice Jenkins' red lips (lipstick) and the sulking cat.

"Dad, if you say, yes, if multiple girls like you at the same time, what will you do?"

He lay on the counter and thought for a long time before asking.

Dad was startled by this weird question, turned to look at Jenkins, and then nodded clearly.

"Jenkins, love with girls is actually simpler than you think..."

"No, be complicated."

Jenkins rarely interrupted his father directly, but his father didn't mind either.

"Okay, it's complicated. But you have to know that your status determines that you can do more things. I don't want to admit that there are differences between people, but at least that's the case in our era. You are a noble, you He is the taught Son, and most of what you want can be obtained.”

Dad said as he arranged his coat. He neatly pulled the cuffs together, and then used a steaming iron filled with hot water to quickly pull on the cuffs.

Chapter 1037 Chapter 1019 Reading at Night

"Young Jenkins, so what exactly is troubling you?"

The conversation in the antique shop continued. Dad was ironing his clothes with constant movements. Seeing that Jenkins was silent, Dad asked again:

"Even ordinary nobles have lovers, and the romance of the modern court is even more exciting than those novels. What are you worried about? You are not breaking precedent, nor are you challenging secular ethics, although I do not encourage this, But it’s all pretty normal, at least for our time.”

Even though Jenkins never took the initiative to mention Hathaway and Britney, his father knew what was going on around Jenkins. His statement was very similar to Alexia's. Both of them believed that it was common for nobles to have lovers.

In fact, this is also the view of most ordinary people.

"To be honest, Jenkins, instead of worrying about those things, what you should think about is which girl you like the most. After all, there is only one who can become your wife. There are some things that are not suitable for me to say to you, but you There is really a lack of friends around me who can talk about these topics..."

Dad paused and opened the back cover of the metal iron. The steam-driven gears were rotating rapidly, driving the fan behind the iron to cool down the somewhat hot cuffs.

"Go for what you want, be bold. Although you look young, your life is like those eccentric old gentlemen. Young people should have the energy of young people, go to those balls, salons, and girls It’s great to go out and walk around. ”

Dad nodded, very satisfied with what he said. He looked at Jenkins and found that Jenkins seemed to have figured out something.

"So, it's...not unethical."

"As long as you like each other, it's not immoral... Sage, I really didn't expect that one day, such words would come out of my mouth."

The father shook his head, quickly drew a holy symbol on his chest, and at the same time ordered:

"Don't tell anyone I said that."

"I understand Dad."

Jenkins nodded, determined to accept it. This is no longer Jenkin's era. Even if you always recognize your identity as a visitor from a foreign land, you must be prepared to accept the customs of this world.

If he wants to integrate into the world, he must understand what is acceptable to the world. Since Dad doesn't think it's immoral and the girls are happy with it, then he...

Chocolate sank into a deeper anxiety.

The customer who agreed with Dad to pick up the goods will arrive around eleven o'clock. When Dad left the store at six-thirty in the evening, he told Jenkins that if it was eleven o'clock and the customers hadn't arrived yet, he could leave directly.

"I hate this kind of unpunctual guy."

Dad said this, and after a few more words of safety, he left straight away carrying a black suitcase.
