Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 182
"Please speak directly, Mr. Williams."
"Do I need to take some notes?"
He straightened his waist and asked seriously.
"...Anything is fine."
This evening, they have been talking about the history and development of divination, and they have not even explored the relationship between divination and the spirit of the world from the perspective of the benefactor. But history is always interesting, and Jenkins also thinks it is very interesting, which made Miss Audrey amazed.
Considering that the next meeting might be two weeks later, Miss Audrey also opened a book list for Jenkins to use her free time to read it. The table of contents of the book list is not very long, but it was only a few days later that he discovered that they were very thick.
One more thing.
"Since you are going to the capital, can you give me something?"
"Of course, it is my honor."
Miss Audrey asked Jenkins to send a letter, the address was an apartment in downtown Bel Dylan. The recipient is Miss Audrey’s childhood dance teacher. The poor old man was cheated by a group of crooks of his savings for most of his life. Miss Audrey hopes to help her.
There is no aura in the envelope. It should be banknotes and letter paper to the touch, so there should be no accidents in this errand.
Things have to be dealt with one by one. Since Mr. Corpse’s party will take a while, Jenkins has nothing else to do during the two days of the weekend. He only needs to say goodbye to all his friends.
Professor Tol Jenkins by Burns went to the Tegel Museum in Berdyland to fetch some documents. These materials are very important, and the postal service of this era is obviously very risky. If it wasn't for where Jenkins happened to be going, then Professor Burns had let his students go.
Hathaway and Miss Mihail spent an afternoon talking with Jenkins excitedly about the customs and cuisine of Bel Dylan. Unlike Jenkins, the child of the "poor family", these two ladies travel around the mainland every summer and are even more familiar with Berdylan. Together, they suggested that Jenkins go to a certain pedestrian street to try expensive food, and gave Jenkins the addresses of some friends. If you have trouble in Bel Dylan, you can go to them for help.
"I should live in a church, [Knowledge and Books] The Holy See of the church is there..."
"So, besides being able to see Her Majesty, you can even see the Pope?"
The ladies seemed even more excited than Jenkins. In their mouths, Bel Dylan’s noble ball was much more interesting than the local ones.
Of course, Hathaway seems to be suggesting that Jenkins shouldn't attend a dance party invited by a girl she doesn't know. Her suggestion was so obvious that Jenkins thought it could be seen not only by herself, but also by Miss Mikhail and Chocolate.
Miss Mihaier thinks so too.
He asked the two ladies if he wanted to bring some souvenirs. They all know that Jenkins has recently made a fortune, but they only asked for some cheap specialties.
Robert and Mary had known Jenkins' travel plan for a long time, and the latter wanted to pack all the luggage out for him.
Mary prepared a lot of clothes for Jenkins, and even a sweater for chocolates. The reason is that the recent weather has changed drastically. He did not refuse, but because of the limited space of a suitcase, he could only put his clothes at home.
I didn’t have too much luggage to take with him this time. Apart from spending three days and two nights on the steam train, the church would take care of all his needs.
Therefore, only one change of clothes is required, and since all the belongings are destroyed in the pool under the giant tree, there are no dangerous items to carry. A black suitcase is enough. Although I want to bring a cat cage to prevent naughty kittens from walking around on the train, chocolate will definitely not agree.
The appraisal of the black gemstone necklace soon had the result, this item is very famous. B-12-5-8812, the summoner of the black mist, after being injected into the spirit, he can briefly summon some dense fog that obstructs his vision.
The legendary character of this item does not lie in its function, because there are quite a lot of abilities and items that can do such a function. The legend is there. In the past years, this item has often been found and recorded, but it will often disappear or lose its trace.
Two B-12-5-8812 have never appeared at the same time, but people believe that this necklace is not just a single one.
The reason is that its loss and appearance are irregular. It is often difficult to establish an exact connection between the last loss and the next appearance.
For example, the last time B-12-5-8812 appeared was in March 1601 in the general calendar. Its owner was a cultist from the cult [Dragon Hunting Association], and there were at least 20 people. I saw the necklace fall into an active volcano overseas with the man. But this time it was discovered by Jenkins that it was actually accompanied by a batch of antique jewelry from the last era.
The old man is very interested in this phenomenon. Although the necklace was taken away by Jenkins, he did not know how to delay the auction of the manor, and he planned to investigate the origin of the antique jewelry.
There is another point. When the old man told Jenkins, his expression was very meaningful:
"The function of this necklace is to dodge and defend."
He stuffed the chain into Jenkins' hands.
"His previous masters all existed like a vortex of trouble, so B-12-5-8812 can be fully utilized every time. This may be some kind of curse. But I am not worried about you at all, because you are getting Before it, you were already a trouble maker."
On Monday morning, when the sun could not penetrate the curtains and enter the bedroom, Jenkins, who was sleeping in the living room, had already walked out of the bathroom.
squatted on the sofa and poked Chocolate in the back, then got up and went to the door to get milk and newspaper. The departure time of the train is nine o'clock in the morning, because it is the departure station, so the probability of delay is very low. In addition, Jenkins is a VIP carriage and has a dedicated boarding channel, so the chance of missing the train is lower.
The suitcase with the luggage and the walking stick are placed under the hanger at the door. There is also a notebook on the suitcase with the latest itinerary.
The trip is about to begin.
PS: Ask for votes at the beginning of the month.
Chapter 418 Chapter 412 Traveling Divination
Chocolate probably also knows that he is going to travel, so the breakfast is extraordinarily cheerful. When it was reading the newspaper in Jenkins, it kept scratching the newspaper with its paws, and it made a hole in Mr. Mayor's face.
But the time is still early, there is no need to leave now.
The neighbors also know that Jenkins won the Kingdom’s Literary Award. During breakfast, the Goodman family next door also paid a special visit and gave a celebratory gift-a bottle of champagne. As for the widow who lives on the other side, Jenkins has not met this woman recently, and probably moved to another place temporarily for delivery.
got up from the sofa at 7:30, checked the windows of the house in his boots, and then walked out of the hall with a suitcase and a cat in his arms, a cane and a hat.
looked up at the bedroom on the second floor, inserted the big copper key into the keyhole, turned it around two times and heard a click~ and locked the door.
Papa, Robert and Mary will see him off at the station, so there is no need to wait for anyone. Walking to the street with excitement, I saw Miss Audrey beckoning to her from the carriage window, and the coachman stopped the carriage smoothly in front of Jenkins.
"Go to the station."
After getting in the car, Miss Audrey said to the coachman, and the carriage set off again.
"You don't have to come to see me off again. I will be back in a week. Oh, yes, Miss Miller sent a letter from Luen and she asked me to forward it to you."
Since the last few days have been very busy, after the Evergreen Forest incident, Jenkins only met with Miss Miller once and told her that there was no major problem here. Although reading the letter once, and then copying the book of memories with reading and writing after returning, it is more labor-saving, but he respects the privacy of others, and cheekily asked the Protoss Rakul to help send the original.
His explanation to Miss Miller was that he had props similar to B-11-2-5432, a pair of mailboxes, and she did not ask again.
"Ok."
Miss Audrey received the letter, and then took out a set of fortune-telling cards: "I just remembered that I haven't done a fortune-telling for your trip. Come and give it a try."
She directly stuffed the stack of cards into Jenkins' hands and asked him to draw one at will.
"Did the divination trip go smoothly? Do we need other preparations?"
"No need."
The woman nodded, looking expectantly at Jenkins's hand.
hesitated, fanned the card, and then randomly pulled out one from the center to the right.
handed the card to Miss Audrey, and he reorganized the remaining cards on his knees.
"How?"
He was also looking forward to it.
"It is very interesting foreseeing, if it is really accurate..."
Miss Audrey turned the card over, and the face of the card was an inverted black mask.
"The black mask is murder, I remember the inverse represents..."
Jenkins did not remember these things, but they must be in the books in the suitcase.
"It means that the murder will not happen to you, but it will happen to you, and this matter will have a very big connection with you."
She reinserted/insert the card into the deck, then washed the card again with a proficient technique, and handed it to Jenkins:
"Come again."
"Can divination be done twice?"
He wondered, but he still reached out and drew the top card out. This time I checked the card first: the golden crown in position.
"What does the crown mean? Sorry, I only remember the king in the right and the reverse."
"The career is going well, your trip will achieve the purpose you want."
Her words at this time are like those outsiders who don't understand anything but still try to explain the meaning of divination. But Jenkins trusts this lady's divination ability not only because she is her nominal teacher, but also because her divination never goes wrong.
Thinking of this, I also remembered the resurrection cross that was a sign of the future during a card fortune-telling.
"Maybe Miss Audrey knows the effect of [the undead] ability, after all, the ancient information stored by the destiny and the lawful church is comparable to the church of the sage.
In thinking, Miss Audrey has placed the shuffled cards in front of Jenkins for the third time:
"Again."
"Okay...but I remember you once said that fortune-telling for the same thing is only useful for the first time. Trying to piece together signs of the future through multiple divinations is something a fool can do."
"Yes, it seems that you are really studying hard. But there are always exceptions..."
blinked, and saw that Miss Audrey's ability light spot was blooming, and it suddenly dawned on her. He reached out to draw another card, but his hand stopped again in mid-air.
"Since it is for fortune-telling the future of my trip, why don't you let the chocolate have a try? Observing the omen from different angles, there should be better results."
Miss Audrey was also taken aback, then looked at the cat on Jenkins’s knee that suddenly opened her eyes:
"This is indeed the case. Maybe you are really the kind of person who is most suitable for learning divination. This is a good idea."
Jenkins had already picked up the chocolate involuntarily, screaming and struggling desperately, and the narrow carriage immediately became a mess.
In a panic, Chocolate's paw knocked one of the cards out, and the card fell on the floor of the carriage, which was a positive lunar eclipse.
"This is a rare card."
The woman picked up the fortune-telling card, and looked inquisitively at the kitten lying on her knees to restore her calm. There was some doubt in her eyes.
But she quickly put her doubts behind her head, and instead introduced Jenkins to the meaning of this card:
"I have always performed divination for humans, so there may be some deviations in explaining the future of animals. This card represents accidents and ups and downs. You, or your cat, will encounter a series of troubles in the future, but these troubles are all It will not bring fatal danger. The moon itself has a secret meaning, and the priesthood of the Lady of the No-light Moon also includes [the protection of secrets], so after the bumps, you will spy on some secret things, Some extremely precious gains have not been obtained."
"Meow~"
Chocolate screamed obediently, which was regarded as a response to Miss Audrey's words. Jenkins was stroking its soft back, feeling a little nervous.
In the end, he still didn't directly ask [Undead] about it, but planned to test after the trip.
The carriage took Jenkins to the intersection next to the station. Before getting off the train, Miss Audrey gave Jenkins a necklace with a shell-shaped metal pendant.
PS: I changed the cover of this book, and it feels pretty good, at least better than the previous one. The original picture can be found in Du Niang's picture with the keywords "Assassin's Creed" and "London".
Chapter 419 Chapter 413 Farewell to Nolan
This necklace is an item blessed by Miss Audrey herself in a ceremony. It has a faint golden aura and can help the wearer improve bad luck within two months.
Of course, she did not forget to remind Jenkins to finish reading the books on the book list.
Watching Jenkins walking towards the station with a suitcase, the woman sighed and let the coachman go to the next destination. She took out the letter just now, flipped the envelope, raised her eyebrows, and then took out the letter paper inside.
This is just a short message, but it took Miss Audrey a long time to read it.
She frowned and looked at the pedestrians outside the window, she had the ability to look at the light spot in front of her, and she really added one more: [Fate's Guide (Purple Destiny)].
"Did you place a right bet?"
No one can answer this question.
Just stepping out of Miss Audrey’s carriage, and turning the corner of the street, you can see the noisy and chaotic Nolan Station. But there was a carriage parked by the entrance of the alley, and Hathaway waved at Jenkins.
"Hathaway, you don't need to come to see me off again, I will be back in a week"
After boarding the carriage, he said the same sentence.
Today’s red-haired lady is wearing a sky blue one-piece dress that Jenkins has never seen before, with a multi-layer lace structure on the cuffs. She directly **** the skirt to reveal a part of the petticoat. Like most young girls in this era, she should have spent a lot of time on the color of the petticoat.
"Miss Mikhail didn't come?"
asked this sentence, and the lady who was facing her with a sweet smile, her face immediately turned cloudy.
He also knew that this was a very silly question no matter from which point of view he looked at it, so he quickly remedied it:
"Oh, I mean, thank you for sending me off. Thank you very much."
His clumsy appearance made Hathaway's face a little better, but he still pressed her lips:
"This can't work, Mr. Great Writer, with your current social methods, you will definitely be ridiculed in the capital city. People there look down on our ‘country folk’, huh~..."
This is the so-called mocking sound.
"And those old nobles also hate people who get knighthood through the convenience of the times. Of course, your situation will be better. Take it, our etiquette course has not been completed yet, but I have written all the content here. .You need to spend all your train travel time on this to be able to solve the difficulties encountered. Be more confident, young sir, I know you have been living in the church after considering arriving in Berduran... ..."
What she handed Jenkins was a notebook with a black cover. After opening it, it was filled with densely packed letters. Occasionally there are some pencil drawings to explain the poses in more detail.
"This, I really don't know how to thank it anymore."
