The Master of the Strange Realm
Chapter 49
"Is that so?"
Hathaway Hessa took a few steps forward and saw Jenkins holding the cane tightly in his hand, and couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.
"I know your secret."
"What?"
The man frowned and grabbed the cane's head with both hands at the same time, with a bluffing tone.
"Blesser, I wonder what you think of this word?"
The girl asked softly, and from her expression, it was obvious that she was looking forward to Jenkins' next performance.
Jenkins took a few steps back and untied the ties on the curtain next to the stand window, and the curtain slid down to cover the guests below.
PS: The editor informed me yesterday that it has been confirmed that it will be on the shelves this Friday. I will post a thank you note for the listing on Thursday night, and by the way, I will talk about the agreed plan for more updates. By the way, Happy National Day, and by the way, I'm asking for votes in the new month!
Chapter 106 Chapter 103 Help, Requests and Conditions
"What do you mean?"
He asked with a gloomy face, chuckled in his heart, and praised his acting skills.
"It's nothing, but Mr. William is too careless. How can you let people see you enter the black market?"
"Humph~"
He snorted coldly, "Just say what you want to do. You should also be a gifter, right? I'm just an apprentice in an antique shop and a part-time writer. A peaceful life is my only wish. If you want to destroy it, I will make you pay the price."
"No, no, no, Mr. William, you are too nervous."
The lady covered her face with the feather fan in her hand and laughed elegantly.
"Of course, illegal gifters like us will not easily report others. But as a believer of the righteous god, since you have not told the church about your own affairs, there must be a big secret. How about you agree to my three conditions, and I will never tell this matter. Of course, don't think about threatening me. As the daughter of the Marquis, illegality is relative to me."
"How do you know I'm not a scribe of the Church of [Knowledge and Books]?"
He asked mockingly.
"I was not sure just now, but now I am sure, are you?"
The woman raised her head, revealing her snow-white neck, with a very sure expression on her face.
Jenkins was stunned, and then he continued to act naturally:
"Miss Hesha...Okay, okay, lady, you caught me, what do you want me to do? I hope this is within my ability, and I hope it is not against the law. Goddess, although I have betrayed the blessing of the church, I never want to go against the intentions of the sage!"
"Of course it is not against the law."
She snapped the fan in her hand and looked at the wall on one side.
"Blaine is waiting for me over there now. The opera will start in a while. When it reaches the third bar of the fifth movement, I will make an excuse to leave, and then we will meet in the broom closet under the stairs. There is something I need backstage at the opera house, but I need help."
"Stealing is wrong."
Jenkins waved his hand immediately.
"It's not stealing, it's taking without permission."
The red-haired girl showed a different kind of madness on her face, which was completely different from her previous weakness.
"Well...Okay, I can't stop you, but I hope you can leave a suitable amount of gold pounds as compensation for the owner, otherwise I will never agree."
He asked righteously.
The girl laughed:
"Mr. William, no, Jenkins. As a gifter, such a kind mentality will make you die soon. I appreciate your kindness and agree to your request, but it is too childish."
"Don't use the word childish to describe an adult gentleman, Miss Hesha. Don't call me by my name, it will make it seem that we have some hidden special relationship."
"Adult? Special relationship?"
The girl licked her lips, "You didn't behave maturely that evening."
Jenkins was teased again.
According to his feeling, in the pure relationship between Hesha and Michael, Hesha is the weak one. But once out of Heimer's sight, the red-haired girl will show a different kind of strength.
In other words, Jenkins is currently at the bottom of the food chain. Of course, this is in the case of performance.
"I still like to study mysticism at home alone, or write novels, and read historical materials."
He sighed in his heart, not realizing that this idea was the real reason why he had never been in love before he crossed over and studied until he was a graduate student.
"Can you stay here for a while?"
He patted Chocolate's back gently and took out a few cat food from the pocket sewn on his underwear to feed it.
As for why he brought cat food to the opera, it was because he was afraid that the kitten would be hungry.
"Meow~"
"That's good. I'll give you another meal when I get home. Is milk okay?"
"Meow~"
"So good!"
Jenkins knew that his cat was a little too smart. He had heard that the Church of [Spirit of All Things] had a special potion that could greatly develop the wisdom of ordinary creatures so that they could help their masters who were gifters. He was going to get a bottle. Chocolate was so smart now. When she grew up and was fed the potion, he didn't ask her to become a black silk maid. It would be enough for her to help deliver a letter.
Chocolate lowered her head to eat cat food, and a look of contempt appeared in her pale yellow eyes.
The play performed by the Silver Jasmine Opera Company today is called "The Forever 31 Days of Mr. Porter." Jenkins can't quite understand this art form, but there is a script on the side. This roughly tells the tragic story of a middle-aged gentleman who is forever trapped on the 31st of a certain month. He disrespects gods and kings, and ultimately ends up miserable.
For this era, this kind of subject matter is really novel, and the story is extremely interesting. Coupled with the high quality of the actors themselves, the opera troupe's tours in the kingdom were very popular. Compared with the newly famous writer William Mut, they are the real stars of tomorrow. It is said that Nolan City is their last stop in the kingdom. After next week's performance, they will take a boat directly to the City of Thousand Trees in the Kingdom of Chesland, the city where the ancient elves last lived in El in ancient legends. Delon.
Although today's meeting with Miss Hesha was a bit unexpected, it was not unexpected. Hesha threatened him with three demands. Although this was funny, it also made Jenkins a little wary.
He hopes to get in touch with Hesha and get in touch with other gifters, so as to obtain weird props and even divinity. But Miss Hesha is one level higher than him. Although she thinks that she will never lose to a girl younger than herself, she still needs to be careful.
After listening to the opera for a while, Jenkins gave up, helped Chocolate prepare delicious food, and then walked out with his cane.
"I have something to do and need to go out for a while. I will be back soon."
He said this to the waiter who was guarding not far from the door. The young man immediately nodded in fear and did not ask the kitten what to do.
After going down the stairs, I waited boredly in the corner of the splendid front hall. It wasn't until the fourth round of applause in the opera house and the low and long sounds of the euphonium and French horn that the young lady appeared in a hurry.
"too slow."
"I'm going to find a reason to leave Britney for a while, and that's not going to be easy."
The two did not stay where they were, but immediately walked out of the opera house. It was quiet and dark outside, completely opposite to the lively atmosphere inside the opera house. Only the two full moons in the sky, the stars behind the clouds, the cigarettes of the coachmen in the distance, and the lanterns in the hands of the patrolmen were still shining.
Chapter 107 Chapter 104 Taking Without Telling
"What are you trying to steal?"
"It's not stealing, it's taking without telling you."
She emphasized again, fidgeting with her long fiery red hair and pointing to Jenkins' cane: "We are going to disguise it later. What are we going to do with this thing?"
"Safety comes first. Its style is not new and no one will notice it."
Jenkins knows very well that where he appears, there is a high probability that something will go wrong, so now he has developed the habit of carrying all the charms and weapons with him when he goes out.
This can be regarded as a little self-consciousness of the time traveler.
The red-haired girl didn't say anything and asked again:
"I need to know, what can you do?"
"The soul briefly leaves the body and becomes a spirit body."
Jenkins answered quickly and added, "There is also the ability to curse, but it requires the other party's hair."
"that's it?"
"That's pretty much it. I said, I'm just a peaceful writer. If I hadn't accidentally become a benefactor, I would never have been exposed to these things."
The girl obviously wanted to snort, but considering that this matter required a reliable companion, she stopped her movements.
"You can't do this. Become a gifter. Otherwise, your disguise ability will be very strong, or your strength will be very strong, otherwise it will be difficult to live an easy life. I know a person, and every time he appears in front of me, he has a different appearance and identity. , gender and age, can you do this?”
"It can't be done."
Jenkins shook his head, with a little surprise on his face.
Mentally adding: "Sorry, that's just me."
"I also know a person who even saved his life. He wears a black robe and can fight against powerful evil spirits head-on. Can you do this?"
Jenkins looked down at his cane and shook his head again embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it either."
I added again in my mind: "Sorry, that's still me."
The girl in front of her showed a satisfied expression:
"Mr. Williamt, you have to understand that once you embark on the path of the Gifter, you can't go back. You helped me this time, and I won't treat you badly. You can ask me for my knowledge of occultism in the future; I If you have time, I will also introduce you to some small gatherings of grantors. Times have changed. Stars of new gods have appeared in the distant sky. The birth of a great one will be accompanied by turmoil.
Oh, of course, again, never let Britney see us meeting in private. "
"Absolutely not, thank you very much!"
Jenkins immediately thanked him, showing an expression that was both grateful and reserved.
"The new god is me too."
He was tired of such inner activities.
Miss Hesha achieved her goal, fiddled with the hair tie on her head, and smiled with satisfaction.
Jenkins also smiled shyly.
The so-called camouflage is actually a piece of golden metal, although it feels more like copper. Miss Hesha told Jenkins that this thing is called "Elegant Lady's Makeup Spell". Although the name is very strange, it can make general adjustments to the body shape, clothing and appearance within a few hours of stimulation, making it tend to increase the charm. status.
Some gifters with special abilities can see through disguises at a glance, but Miss Hesha told Jenkins that they only need to deal with ordinary people tonight.
"So, I still don't know our target."
Cautiously bypassing the entire opera house, Hesha used the prepared key to open the inconspicuous back door. There was no one here, only an iron chain.
The two people's target was the backstage.
"An antique violin."
She said in a low voice, then hesitated, and added: "B-04-4-8213, [Violin of the Sound of the Sea], when played, it can summon a certain amount of water according to the music and level played by the user. It now belongs to the collection of the Silver Jasmine Opera Company. I heard that it is a relic of a member. A few days ago, Hathaway and I attended a boring party. The party invited actors from the opera house as performers. I immediately saw that the violin was wrong..."
"Class B extraordinary?"
"Yes."
The girl nodded.
Jenkins frowned slightly. This was the second extraordinary item related to this opera troupe. Could it be that he was about to get involved in some dangerous incident again?
He summoned the light spot and carefully focused his mind on the purple ability. There was no response and he let out a breath.
"After this is done, I can give you 200 pounds as a reward."
"Are you worried that I will snatch this item? I hope you can believe in my gentlemanly manners. Besides, I can't play the piano."
"Humph~ Mr. William, that's why I said you are too naive. Do you think ABC items are common... Anyway, I can still take out 200 pounds. Do you want it?"
"Yes."
Jenkins answered immediately. Are all nobles so rich? Damn, I'm really jealous... I'm really envious.
"Gentlemen, this is not..."
"Sorry!"
A man who was probably a patrol security guard stood at the corner in front. Before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by a beautiful lady and dragged to the corner.
The two hurried inside. I wonder if there was any advance arrangement. There was no one in the corridor backstage.
She had indeed conducted an investigation in advance. Raising her hand, the young lady motioned Jenkins to stop in front of a brown wooden door. She carefully took out three transparent threads from her waist, and then tied the six ends of the threads to her left fingers in a complicated way, motioned Jenkins to plug his ears, then gently pushed open the door, opened her left hand, and used her right hand fingers to pluck the threads.
A very light melody came into his ears, and the girl sang in a low voice to cater to the melody. Jenkins bit his tongue to resist the desire to sleep. In his eyes, the yellow light spot in front of Miss Hesha bloomed. According to the effect, this should be the spell [Lullaby] that he had seen when he first selected his abilities in the church.
