Jenkins thought of this question right away, and then fell into deep thought.

　　 On the other side, the church's interrogation of the cultist nicknamed Static Eye, Boglo Stippi, finally ended.

　　 In the evening, while Jenkins was sitting at the dining table after eating, Mr. Bentz knocked on his door. This gentleman should have another important task. He didn't even enter the door for a cup of tea. He just informed Jenkins that everything was safe and he could return to the old antique shop.

"The final conclusion is that the cultists of the Demon Eye Collection Association came to this city to find an eyeball-shaped deception. He has always refused to reveal what it is, what its role is, and whether it is recorded by the Orthodox Church. And number it."

　　 Dad put down the information in his hand and watched Jenkins look around.

"what are you doing?"

　　 "It feels like I haven't come back for a long time, so I miss it a bit."

　　 "So, have you finished reading the three books I asked you to read?"

　　 "......"

Chapter 292 Father's Demon Eye

　　 According to the results of the interrogation, the cultists of the Demon Eye Collection Association confirmed that their target was in the urban area of ​​Nolan City through divination. Currently in this organization, only three gifters have come to the local area. One of them just wanted to stroll around and ended up walking into Stippy's antique shop, and the other two were missing. When the church tortured their hiding place and went to search for them, the two had already escaped.

　　 "Crook, eyeball..."

　　 Jenkins chewed on these two words and looked at his father secretly.

　　 "They're looking for the one who helped the father'resurrected from the dead', right..."

　　 Everyone has their own secrets. Jenkins did not take the initiative to ask the reason why his father resurrected from the golden statue. But as a special item appraiser, it is impossible for him not to know that what he has in his hands is an extraordinary item.

　　 So the truth is probably that the old man just thought it was the extraordinary of the B series, not the trick of the A series.

　　 "This is very interesting. Could it be that the weird characteristics of this item are not obvious?"

　　 He carefully observed his father's eyes, and then he was stunned by his father:

　　 "Don't be lazy!"

　　 "Okay, sir!"

　　 He did not finish the three books, so he must be careful not to annoy the old man anymore.

　　 The aura of the trick is too strong, even if it is hidden by the old man, Jenkins can still see the location. Only rarely will it be taken out of the antique shop by the old man. Most of the time, its location is directly below the shop. There was the old man's library and reference room. He opened it the first day he met him, and there were another five or six items with strong aura.

　　 It should be said that except for Constantine the 8th-level gifter and Mr. Corpse, Daddy is the richest person Jenkins knows.

　　 "Maybe I should find a way to remind my father that this kind of thing is always a hidden danger in the store."

　　 Jenkins thought in his heart, looked at the tadpole text in front of him, and continued to ask along the topic just now:

　　 "Sir, are there many magic eyes with serial numbers? I mean, this kind of magical item, after being attached to the human body, is like giving the gifter an extra ability. There should be some restrictions on this kind of item, right?"

　　Because this is about the gifter, Dad doesn’t think Jenkins is lazy. He explained:

"There are not many recorded magic eyes, but there are reasons to believe that the magic eyes collection association has many eyes that the Orthodox Church has never recorded. The history of this organization is very long. You can't see some information now, but I can slightly Tell me something—the history of the association predates the emergence of the false **** Void Beholder."

Seeing Jenkins’ face in shock, the old man smiled and continued: “The earliest collection association was a semi-neutral and good organization dedicated to helping solve various incidents caused by the loss of control of the magic eye. Yes, there is only the magic eye. . Let us look through the ancient history, through the confusing illusion, we can find the clues of this organization in the 9th century, there is no doubt about it. Of course, the name at that time was not like this."

　　 "But why is it like this now?"

"No one knows, maybe it was the godless Void Beholder that made it fall, or it may be something else. In short, the special eyes of the Demon Eye Collection Association are absolutely far beyond your imagination. They seem to have a special way to find taboos. s eyes."

　　 Jenkins stopped the pen in his hand and scratched his nose, which is really hard to imagine. I thought it was just a cult organization, but I didn't expect it to be involved in the 9th era.

"As for the danger of the magic eye, this is not easy to answer. But unless it is the original owner of the magic eye, that is to say, the magic eye is on this person from the beginning. Otherwise, all people who use the magic eye for a long time will have some spirit. The problem. This is not necessarily a problem caused by the eyes, but it may also be that they occasionally see something that they shouldn't see. Eyes with special power can often see a more'real' world..."

　　 Dad's words were very meaningful, and the corners of Jenkins's mouth twitched.

　　 "I seem to often see things that shouldn't be seen..."

　　 He thought to himself, but he was not worried that he would be approached by the Demon Eye Collection Association. [True Eye] It is not a magic eye, but a special ability derived from the soul. This can be seen from the fact that you can still observe the aura while being separated from the body.

　　 "Daddy ever used things like magic eyes?"

　　The topic was finally brought here by Jenkins.

"let me see......"

The old man put down the pen in his hand with a look of reminiscence, "I saw a few when I was young, but I didn't dare to use it. Now think about it, although it was bold at that time, but it was right to be cautious. As for later, it was not I don’t have the guts to try such a special item directly connected to the body."

　　 "That's right, I think things like magic eyes shouldn't be used indiscriminately."

　　 As he spoke, he lowered his head and returned his gaze to the photo in front of him.

　　 "What did the old man ask to lie?"

　　 There are so many thoughts in his heart, and in the end it can only be attributed to the fact that the magic eye was sealed in another object. The old man only thought that the outer shell was working, but he didn't know that there was something more terrifying inside.

　　 While copying those words, he tried to think about what was going on. The black aura is not far from the soles of the feet, if secretly...

　　 "Are you crazy?"

　　 He thought so and smiled self-deprecatingly. It's impossible for the old man not to set up ritual traps in his underground warehouse. Although he has the intention to do good things, he doesn't need to take risks himself or make others suspect.

　　 The matter of sending a letter to Eldron has taught him enough lessons. It is enough to do this "just cause" once in a short time.

　　 Last week, Miss Mihaile asked her father to help identify a purchased antique. Jenkins happened to run into a poisoning case related to the Witch’s House, so she was not in the shop. He remembered now, so he asked what it was.

　　 "Psychic board."

"Eh?"

　　 The surprise on his face was not pretended. When the old man saw this, he took the thing out of the warehouse, but fortunately, there was no inspiration.

　　 Just like what Jenkins knew before, although there are truly extraordinary powers in this world, boring people who don’t understand the truth of the world always use the boldest and most daring ways to find death, testing back and forth on the edge of mysterious and strange power.

　　 Similar psychic games are the most common of these. This kind of game is very popular among young people in the upper class. Although some people are really trying to psychic, and some are just for girls/boys participating in the game, no one can run away if something goes wrong.

Chapter 293 Chapter 288 Psychic Board

　　 This is a common wooden psychic board, probably to make it old, and a few moth-eaten-like holes are specially made on the edge of the board. But the old man himself is a master of counterfeiting, and Jenkins can tell at a glance that this is new at best ten years ago.

　　 The psychic board itself is square, but the edges and corners have been processed, so it has a certain arc. If you look at it from the right direction, a smiling face with a curious style is engraved in the upper left corner, and a crying face with a weird style is in the upper right corner. The style of painting is close to that of children's essays, but it is because of this that it is even more terrifying.

　　The person who designed this psychic board has an exceptionally powerful drawing skill. It is obviously only simple strokes, but it gives people the illusion that these two faces are real.

The upper part of the 　　 psychic board contains the 26 letters of today's common text in an arc shape, and the two words "Yes" and "No" are written below. At the bottom are ten numbers from 0 to 9 written horizontally, and at the bottom is the word "goodbye". With the use of a small plate inlaid with transparent glass in the shape of a drop, you can answer some simple questions.

　　 Between the upper half of the letters and the lower half of the numbers, there is a jungle tombstone, dyed black and white with dyes, and a long line of invented names is engraved on the tombstone. At the bottom is a sentence written in unusually fancy swashes—the heart of awe must not be lost, and the heart of fear must not be absent.

　　 On the left and right sides of the wooden board, there are five artificially processed small holes asymmetrically distributed, which are used to inlay the small statues of the psychic board. The wooden board is surrounded by a copper edging, and the metal part is engraved with unknown inscriptions.

　　 In fact, the so-called psychic board does not need a statue. Jenkins guessed that this is a means to attract female customers and increase the price.

　　 "Is this the psychic board, this is the first time I have seen it."

　　 He curiously stroked the surface of the wooden board, trying to distinguish the specific material, while the old man still introduced:

"Qualified psychics can indeed talk to the deceased through this kind of thing, and even see the memories shared by the deceased. Most of the gifters of [End of Death] can do it. But for ordinary people, the psychic board can only It's a toy, or a profit-making tool."

　　 "So, is it safe for ordinary people to use the psychic board?"

"Of course not. If the user imitates the ritual seen from the strange book, or there is a powerful evil spirit connected with it nearby, it may cause big/troublesome. Of course, the probability is very small. There is no need for this. Worry, there is no place in this world that is absolutely safe. You have to know that even if you walk on the road, you may encounter terrible things."

　　 Jenkins nodded vigorously. He has a deep understanding of walking tricks.

　　In this era of boring entertainment with little, the ladies who have nothing to do besides play with their lovers, they also have a soft spot for the terrifying and exciting occult field. For example, divination and spiritism. Although the few aristocratic ladies Jenkins knows are not very interested in this, he knows that girls born in the upper class are very courageous to try this kind of props.

"...So, the young ladies and gentlemen are so courageous now. When I was your age, if something related to illegal witchcraft was found in someone's home, the Inquisition could directly To convict him, although the criminal law is at most whipping and fines, it was also a very serious punishment at the time..."

　　 The old man was still talking about things related to it, while Jenkins casually stroked the chocolate that was squashed into a ball to sleep, and he secretly complained:

　　 "The Inquisition? What age is this? How old is Dad this year?"

　　 No one can answer this question. Even if he asked the old bishop when he went to the church to give an evening class that night, he just laughed and said nothing. Captain Bincy is not in the church recently, and the gentleman in the special items management office did not answer this question directly, but the secret guard hinted to him that the old man's age is normal and there is no need to have any doubts.

　　 "What are you thinking about?"

　　 On a silent night, Miss Miller and Jenkins rode back together in a carriage. She also wanted to discuss the contents of "A Brief Introduction to Advanced Mathematics" with Jenkins as much as possible before starting the journey.

　　 Jenkins shook his head, leaving the question of his father's age behind him.

　　 "It's not a particularly important thing. It's just a matter of paying someone to fix something, but it has been three days and there is no news."

　　 "I think you are too anxious. Maybe you should add some gold pounds. The work enthusiasm of the craftsmen and the quality of the craftsmanship are always related to these."

　　 Jenkins smiled, and then thought of his shriveled wallet. Perhaps understanding the meaning of this smile, Miss Miller squinted and asked:

　　 "Why, are the great writers worried about economic matters?"

　　 If there is no idea to solve the Eldron incident once and for all, then Jenkins still has at least 300 pounds of disposable liquidity in his hands. This is a large sum, but in order to completely get rid of the endless cycle of mailing-worry-reply-worry, he is on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Although there is no urgent need for money recently, even if you are single, you still need some savings to ensure your life. The church has a lot of work income, but no one will dislike their own golden pounds? And we still... ."

　　Miss Miller nodded. As a gifter, there are so many things to spend gold pounds, and she also understands this.

　　 Speaking of this topic, Jenkins smiled embarrassedly and asked:

　　 "Speaking of which, I'm learning how to make potions recently. Although there is only one basic potion formula called [Witch's Kiss]...Are you interested?"

　　 Unexpectedly, just after Jenkins asked this question, Miss Miller suddenly covered her mouth and laughed:

　　 "Witch's Kiss? Mr. William, do you really know the effect of this potion?"

　　 "...isn’t it to increase femininity?"

　　 The carriage stopped at the intersection of St. George’s Avenue. Because it was a church carriage, there was no need to pay for the fare. But according to general rules, Jenkins still gave the coachman five pence as a tip for night work.

　　 did not continue the conversation on the street, the night was too cold. Jenkins put the cat in his arms first, and then rubbed his hands to open the gate of the fence, while Miss Miller squinted to look at his neighbor, the house of Mrs. Margaret who lives alone.

　　 There were doubts in his eyes, but in the end he shook his head, and blamed the illusion for the passing feeling.

　　 "So, what exactly does Witch's Kiss do?"

　　 The two entered the room, Jenkins unscrewed the **** of the gas lamp on the wall, and the flame rose from the copper-colored base. Then when he raised his hand, a cluster of flames flew from the cuffs and fell into the fireplace. With a bang, the flames in the fireplace flickered.

Chapter 294 Chapter 289

　　 The cat abandoned Jenkins and threw himself on the softest wool carpet in front of the fireplace. Jenkins smiled and hung his hat and coat on the hanger beside it.

　　Miss Miller also handed him her hat and coat, and he hung them up.

　　 "Sometimes, I think you are such an amazing person."

　　 The short lady saw him doing all of this skillfully, and she had no evil thoughts about bringing single women home, so she couldn't help sighing.

　　 "Really? But what is the use of the witch's kiss?"

　　 Seeing that he was still obsessed with this question, Miss Miller covered her mouth and chuckled again.

　　 The bedding, books, and notebooks in the living room have been cleaned up, so it seems normal at the moment.

　　 "That's... an ambiguous potion for flirting, which is often used by female gifters between the bedspreads."

　　 her face was reddish, and Jenkins interrupted her with a loud cough. Single men and women living alone in a room are not suitable for such topics.

"Because the price is high and it is only a daily necessities, there are few buyers. I think if you sell on the black market, it may take a long time to find a buyer. Although this is the case, the ladies of the upper class probably like this very much. For things, I can help you find some buyers, of course, before I leave Nolan."

　　 "Thank you so much, do you need tea? I was there the other day..."

　　 Jenkins wanted to leave this embarrassing topic, but fortunately, Miss Miller was also unmarried, and she was unwilling to dwell on this issue. When the two entered the world of mathematics, the strange atmosphere just disappeared.
