Jingling~

　　 "Did you forget something?"

　　 The old man, who was lying on the counter and writing something, raised his head and asked suspiciously.

　　 Jenkins didn't dare to speak, closed the door and walked to the counter with big steps along the path full of antiques.

　　 "Is there anything behind me?"

　　 He asked in a low voice, for fear that the answer was that there was a little girl behind.

　　 The old man frowned, he put down the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, and supported the desktop to look sideways behind Jenkins.

　　 "Nothing."

　　 Jenkins took a long sigh of relief, carefully turned his head, and then smiled happily.

　　 "I seem to have encountered something unclean just now."

　　 he explained.

　　 "Well, wait a minute, I remember I still have a few requiem charms here, of course, you'd better go to church again..."

　　 The old man nodded calmly, but was interrupted by Jenkins before he could say it.

　　 "No, it's not a ghost or something."

　　 He said hesitantly, in fact, he wanted to delay time and find a good excuse for him to find the scam.

　　 "Just walking on the road, a little flower girl sold flowers like me. It was nothing, but the moment I took the money, I suddenly felt a sense of dizziness facing the big octopus..."

　　 He hesitated to explain, trying to obscure what he "accidentally" discovered that there was a problem.

　　 "Selling flowers?"

　　 Dad frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, "It's a bit familiar, I seem to have read this information."

　　 "That would be great, I don't need to continue to explain, I really can't make it up."

　　 Jenkins was delighted.

　　 "If it's really that...Did you buy the flowers?"

　　 The old man's face showed a slight nervous look, and Jenkins's heart raised his throat again.

　　 "Then...should I buy it?"

　　 he asked carefully.

　　 "If it's that thing, you must buy it, otherwise..."

　　 The old man didn't finish speaking, but he looked straight at Jenkins' waist. Jenkins lowered his head and saw three fresh white flowers pinned to the bottom button of his coat.

　　 Without saying anything, Papa Oliver quickly closed the store door and led Jenkins to the direction of the church in the city center.

They hired a carriage, and no one spoke along the way. Jenkins took the three flowers and followed his father worriedly, walked into the church from a remote back door, and then walked into a stranger in the courtyard. Office.

　　 In the room, a well-dressed middle-aged gentleman is reading a newspaper, and there is no one at the headed desk.

　　 "Papa Oliver?"

　　 The man stood up in surprise, "How come this time? Is something wrong? You have received something amazing?"

"No, James." The old man's expression was a bit solemn, which gave Jenkins an illusion that he was about to die. "This is my new apprentice. In the evening, he met a little girl selling flowers. We doubted that. It’s A-01-2-0198."

　　 "The trick was originally discovered by the [All Things and Nature] church. It is not accessible to the gifted person below level 8. It is randomly numbered 0198."

　　 Jenkins recalled what he had learned these past few days in his heart, and immediately realized that he might have really encountered a major event.

　　 The gentleman in black formal clothes didn't need to panic, squinted at Jenkins and the flower in his hand.

"I understand."

　　 He asked the two of them to sit down here, while he strode out the door.

　　 Then, after being introduced by Old Oliver, Jenkins learned that the middle-aged man just now was Mr. James Hurt, who belonged to the [Special Items and Incident Handling] Office of Nolan Diocese.

　　 Not long after, three dignified middle-aged men walked in. In addition to Mr. Hutt and Mr. Bincy, whom Jenkins already knew, there was an elderly man with a funny top hat. He has a thick white beard and very small eyes.

　　 "Oliver."

　　 The old man nodded to the old man, who called him Smith.

　　, who was walking at the end, turned around and closed the door, then took out a silver knife and sketched it on the heavy bronze door. Mr. Hurt was not idle either. He walked to the desk, took out a small wooden block from the drawer, muttered a few words in a low voice, and threw it straight to the side wall.

　　 Nothing happened to the naked eye, but in another field of view of Jenkins, a faint light film enveloped the entire room, and at the door was a shiny [Inherited Sage] holy emblem.

　　 After all this, a few people sat down, listened to Jenkins's recount of their experiences, and then asked the little girl's dress in detail, only then looked at each other a few times.

　　 Smith, the oldest among them, carefully checked the flower in Jenkins's hand, and when it was returned to him, his face was filled with joy and trouble.

　　 "It can be confirmed that the one Mr. Williams encountered was indeed A-01-2-0198, [Little Girl Selling Flowers], also known as [Death Flower Girl]."

　　 The word death made Jenkins' heart jump.

　　Mr. Smith saw Jenkins’ expression, smiled at him and tried to calm him down, then took out a document from his arms and read it to everyone.

　　"A-01-2-0198, because of a large-scale urban population death in 1078, it was confirmed and numbered by the Church of All Things and Nature for the first time.

　　 Its appearance is a 9-year-old female human in the clothes of the poor of the ancient Hitli Kingdom. She has blond hair and a basket made of unknown plant materials on her right hand. "

　　 He looked up from the file and looked at Jenkins.

　　 "A-01-2-0198 appeared irregularly in time and place. The last time it was recorded was in the border town of Hampavo Kingdom-Bramble Town ten years ago. Mr. William, you are very lucky."

　　"?"

　　 Jenkins was taken aback, am I lucky enough to encounter this thing?

　　 "Currently known characteristics, the numbered target has level 8 or higher strength, but as long as you talk in a normal way, the target only appears as a normal human girl."

　　 Level 8 seems to be [Knowledge and Books] The Church’s strongest strength in Nolan City, and can be called a demigod walking in the world. But that one has already followed the fleet to solve the problem, and he is not in this city now.

Section 25 Chapter 24 Strange Features

"Feature 1: If you are asked by A-01-2-0198 whether to buy flowers, ignore the question or refuse to make a transaction, the inquired must die within one week. The cause of death is that the blood vessel is pierced by an unknown species of vine growing in the body. , Causing heavy bleeding. The process cannot be stopped, and the location of those vines cannot be detected before death."

　　 "A good man is safe forever!"

　　 Jenkins blessed himself in his heart.

　　"Feature 2: If you agree to trade, A-01-2-0198 will only sell three flowers of the same color. The variety does not affect its strange characteristics, and the color will determine the curse of the flower buyer. The following is a known situation:

Red: Died from the common flu within one year; Yellow: At least one of the immediate blood relatives is unable to give birth. If there is no immediate blood relative, the flower buyer will die directly; Blue: Drowning within three weeks; Green: Must die by suicide, but no the term. "

　　 Smith finished reading this, looked at the two middle-aged gentlemen around, and nodded to Jenkins.

　　 "These are all content that has sufficient permissions and can be viewed by gifted people who belong to the church. The following content requires a confidentiality level, but since you have encountered this matter, you can understand."

　　 He did not look at Father Oliver, but put down the file in his hand and said to Jenkins:

"According to records, a person once bought 3 black flowers from A-01-2-0198, but after contacting the church, the purchaser disappeared in front of everyone inexplicably, and has not been found yet. Using divination The ability to search, the gifter will go crazy directly."

　　 Jenkins swallowed. The hapless guy was probably sent to some great existence... he waited for his fate to be sentenced.

"If there are two colors on the petals that exceed 30% at the same time, it is called a variegated flower. The flower buyer will split into two identical individuals within three hours. The personalities of the two individuals are extremes of good and evil. "

　　 "Tiger charm."

　　 Jenkins tried to comfort himself with Tucao, but found that it was not as effective as looking at the strange face of the reflection of the brass kettle on the table.

　　 "Purchasing white flowers will not be cursed, and eating white flowers intact can increase the upper limit of the gifter's spirit."

　　 Jenkins leaned back slightly and exhaled a long breath.

"Is that right?"

　　 He asked in a low voice, for fear that the old man would suddenly grin and say: tease you!

"Yes it is."

　　 Smith nodded, the shiny forehead seemed to reflect light.

"So congratulations, Mr. William. You encountered a mortal creature, but fortunately encountered the best situation. Records show that the lucky person who bought the white flower has only appeared twice, one of them One was a 9-year-old ordinary girl five hundred years ago. She was also a believer of the goddess; the other was an archbishop who believed in the [Destiny Hermit] three hundred years ago."

　　 "Is it really dying to buy those flowers?"

　　 Jenkins asked again.

"Yes, usually A-01-2-0198 will stay in a city for about three weeks. Although it seems dangerous, she will only show up in places that are'suitable for selling flowers'. So, as long as you stay indoors, I will never encounter her. The current record shows that no one has touched A-01-2-0198 twice, so you are the safest in this room."

　　 Mr. Smith laughed, and Jenkins tried to control himself not to be too proud.

"In fact, there are still some information about A-01-2-0198, but no one in this room has the right to know about those contents... It is very unusual for a crook of this level to appear in a densely populated city. Serious matters, let alone the recent problem with the big octopus has not been resolved. Mr. Williams, according to the regulations, you need to record the incident of A-01-2-0198 in written form and submit it to the church. The church will also give you certain rewards."

　　 He said, pointing to Bincy and Hutt who had been silent.

"These two, one belongs to the combat unit, and the other is a staff member of the Special Item Processing Office. Each time you record [Trivia] or [Trivia], you need these two types of people to be present. You just became a scribe, these things I have to adapt."

　　 Jenkins nodded, finally relieved.

　　 In the next time, Jenkins repeated the incident of the big octopus that night and the incident just now. The three people in the church asked the details again and again, and finally asked Jenkins to write two independent reports, and the matter was considered to be over.

　　 Before leaving, Smith raised one more thing:

　　 "If you are willing to sell these flowers, the church is willing to pay you 150 pounds per flower."

　　 This is a considerable amount, even enough for Jenkins to buy a good property in Nolan City. Jenkins looked back at the old man subconsciously, who shook his head concealedly, and then shrugged: "Have you been very short of money recently?"

　　 So Jenkins politely rejected Mr. Smith, who nodded at him with a smile, not looking disappointed.

　　 Jenkins and Dad did not leave the church immediately, but decided to get the basic abilities that Jenkins could receive before leaving.

　　 The two sat in a small hidden prayer room. While waiting for the review, Dad asked Jenkins to quickly eat the three flowers.

　　 "There are not many ways to accumulate additional spirit, and it is completely harmless."

The old man said to Jenkins earnestly, “Especially for you newcomers, don’t hesitate to move forward. This is an opportunity that many people don’t get in their dreams. I know that the guy took the risk and used extremely dangerous methods to accumulate spirit. Afterwards, most of them went crazy, so don’t take this thing out of the church."

　　 Jenkins hesitated, closed his eyes and really ate three flowers raw. Because the report mentioned "completely eaten", under the pressure of his father, he had to eat the green branches as well.

　　 "It's a bit nauseous, and my throat is a little uncomfortable, but it does work."

　　 Jenkins frowned and concluded, pressing the front of his coat with his right hand to feel the continuous flow of cold air from his stomach, but it tasted a little sweet, just like the freshly squeezed lemon juice prepared by the maid at home.

　　 Dad thinks that Jenkins is spoiled for too long, and he is used to it.

　　The number of abilities that a gifter can have is limited, so you must be very careful about the combination of abilities. Some people keep one or two ability vacancies all year round. It is not that they cannot find the ability to learn, but are looking forward to better abilities.

　　 Jenkins has consulted his father, and his father believes that low-level gifters should be more inclined to their preferences and arrangements for the future.

Section 26 Chapter 25 New Ability

　　 This is like the construction of a complex underground pipeline in Nolan City. The first section of the construction requires the least concern, but it also needs to think about the future.

　　 Jenkins only hesitated for a moment and decided to choose a life-saving ability this time. After all, I have many abilities, and I don't care much.

Soon, a slight collision of gears sounded from under the feet of the two of them. Jenkins stood on the side of the narrow prayer room according to his father’s instructions. Then he saw the brick in the center of the floor sink slowly, revealing the complex underground. Mechanical mechanism.

　　The fine brass gears meshed with each other, turning slowly and neatly.

　　 Soon, a rolled parchment was lifted up from the ground.

　　 "The painting style of this institution is different?"

　　 Jenkins thought, bending over to pick up the parchment. After opening it, there are densely packed small characters written inside. These are abilities that can be learned under Jenkins's authority, and are also abilities that the church can provide in the Diocese of Nolan.

　　 Although it is considered a meritorious service because of the A-01-2-0198 reported just now, there are only two non-white abilities on this small scroll of parchment. One is the yellow spell: [Slumber], which is used to make people fall asleep quickly, and the other is the church’s low-level golden magic: [Reading], as the name suggests, what you think in your head can make something appear on the paper. .

　　 If Jenkins was still a street writer in his previous life, he would definitely choose this magic technique, but what he wants now is to live better in this weird world.

　　 "Life is important."

　　 The events of this evening fully explained what is meant by "people walking on the road, misfortune comes from the side", Jenkins now has a very strong sense of crisis.

　　 The parchment only provides the names of these abilities and a brief introduction, so if you don’t know in advance, there is still a certain amount of luck in choosing these.

　　 Jenkins hesitated again and again, vacillating between the two characteristics of "running fast" and "resisting beating", and later realized that even if he resisted beating again, the enemies he encountered in the past few days could kill himself with a single finger.

　　 "I choose this."
