Since the book I wrote has been successfully published, I am also preparing to move away from the Williams house. Mary Williams was still reluctant, but finally accepted this fact under the persuasion of her family.

　　 Jenkins returned to his bedroom at night, and finally had the opportunity to take out the ring from his pocket.

　　 is familiar, it is the one worn by the man above the golden throne. Its whole body is golden, and its surface is carved with fine patterns, and it is connected together like a python that stretches its body.

　　 Jenkins carefully entered his spirit in, but nothing happened.

　　 He thought of the black robe that he had also appeared in, and tried to put the ring in his body. Sure enough, this was also a gift.

　　 "What's this? The equipment must be exploded in the subterranean realm?"

　　 Jenkins whispered while rubbing the lines.

There are now three gifts. The black robe can conceal his identity, interfere with divination and prophecy, which is necessary for him to open a trumpet and engage in trouble; and the candle that burns no short seems to be related to clearing the abnormal state. Although it failed to help Jenkins get rid of the extreme cold that night, Jenkins always suspected that this was because he was not strong enough.

　　 "What can the ring do?"

　　 Jenkins thought, but had no clue, so he could only sleep first.

　　 "What are you thinking of looking forward to it?"

　　 After copying the tadpole texts a hundred times a day, Jenkins lay down at the counter boredly waiting for Miss Mihail's visit, but until the afternoon Dad came back, he did not see anyone.

　　 Daddy hired a horse-drawn truck early in the morning to rush to yesterday’s castle and bring back the old goods he bought.

　　 "I'm wondering if there is a beautiful literary girl, or a middle-aged person who occasionally passes by the bookstore, read my book, then marveled, and screamed that this is a great writer who is rare in a century."

　　 "But you wrote a fairy tale book..."

　　 The old man threw the coat to Jenkins and asked him to hang it up, and his mouth bluntly hit Jenkins' enthusiasm.

　　 "Please leave me some fantasies."

　　 "Is Mikhail not here yet? Then I say something serious. The church has completely sealed off the castle and conducted a careful inspection."

"Oh?"

　　 Jenkins turned his head, "That evil spirit..."

"Nothing was found. We even asked the great fortune-teller who was a guest in Nolan City to help, but found nothing. She said that she could only see a black mist covering the truth, and there must be something terrifying behind the black mist. thing."

　　His face is a little serious, "Jenkins, this thing is very weird, very weird. You shouldn't go around recently. The purpose of the evil spirit for driving us into the treacherous state is still unknown, but it is definitely not a good thing."

　　 "Great fortune teller?"

　　 Jenkins's attention is focused on other places, this is the person who may find his identity.

　　 "Miss Orlando, who came from the capital, has gone back?"

　　 "It's not her, but another lady with honorable status. She is a close friend of Miss Eve Garden from the [Starry Sky and Balance] Church, and was invited to be a guest."

"name is."

　　 "I don't know the real name either. Fortune-tellers never reveal their real name to strangers. The general address to her is Miss Audrey. She is a believer in [The Hermit of Destiny]."

　　 Jenkins This is the first time I heard the suffix "Noble" when he heard Daddy mention someone. I only hope that she will not divination to her true body. That black robe should be very powerful, right?

　　 "The dead Mr. Sanders and Mr. Chewell..."

　　 "Unified caliber is missing." The old man said slowly, "After all, missing without a reason is the best excuse."

　　 Until the evening, when Jenkins was about to leave, Brian Michal, with dazzling golden hair, took a shy red-haired girl out of the carriage and hurriedly pushed open the door of the old antique shop.

The carriage at the door should be the private property of Mihaier family. The pure white carriage is outlined with sky blue lines and exudes a white jade-like luster in the dim sunlight. The solemn and solemn long sword-like family crest is decorated in the middle of the door. , Even the pedestrians crossing the road subconsciously detour from the side, for fear of disturbing the big man using the carriage.

　　 Just like the old man said, Britney Mihail's appearance is definitely first-class. Jenkins has traveled so long, this should be the most beautiful girl she has ever seen.

　　 holding her hand, although some shy red-haired girl is not very eye-catching under Britney's dazzling face, her temperament and dress also show that she is definitely not a commoner.

　　 "Papa Oliver!"

　　 The blonde girl greeted her father skillfully, while the red-haired girl shyly said, "Hello, Mr. Oliver."

　　 "Excuse me, are you Mr. Williams?"

　　Miss Mihaier nodded with Jenkins politely, neither overly affectionate nor alienated, with a sweet smile on her face.

　　 Daddy stabbed him behind Jenkins, and Jenkins reacted, panicking and took out the red velvet box with the medal from his pocket.

"This is it."

　　 He opened the box and pushed it in front of the two ladies, complaining loudly in his heart:

　　 "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"

　　 He originally thought that after crossing, he could be like the protagonist of the legendary knight novel, seeing the beautiful noble daughter, not only able to accost appropriately, but also to raise some interesting topics.

　　 But now it seems that whether it is Jenkins or Jenkins, they react exactly the same when facing such a temperamental girl.

　　Miss Mihaier covered her mouth with a chuckle, stretched out her right hand wearing a white lace glove, fiddled with the badge that was carefully placed in the inner lining of the box, and then gently pushed it to the red-haired girl aside.

　　 "Hathaway, take a look, do you like it?"

　　 I don't know if it is Jenkins's illusion, he always feels that there is a deep compassion in this sentence.

　　 "Don't go crazy!"

　　 warned himself in his heart, and then politely nodded to the red-haired girl. The latter took out the badge with some excitement and placed it in front of him for a closer look.

　　"This is the badge given to believers in the Mother God’s [Harvest Banquet]. Great. I missed it last time because of illness. I didn’t expect to see it again..."

　　Miss Mihaier also looked very happy, her right hand went around behind Hathaway, and then took the badge away.

　　 The red-haired girl looked at her annoyingly.

　　 "Haha, this is a birthday gift. It can only be given to you on the day of your birthday."

　　Mihail chuckled lightly, then looked at Jenkins: "Brother, how much does this cost?"

　　 "Little brother?"

　　 Jenkins was taken aback, that's not right. Didn’t the old man say that Miss Mihaier is 19 years old this year, more than a year younger than himself?

　　 Daddy’s voice sounded from behind, and it sounded like he was smiling:

　　 "Miss Mikhail, this apprentice of mine looks young, but he is older than you."

Section 64 Chapter 61 Lilies and the Black Market

　　Mihaier was a little surprised when he heard this incident, but the smile on his face was still bright.

　　 "That was my gaffe. I didn't expect men to be able to take care of it so well."

　　 While she was talking, she took a ruby ​​from her pocket and put it on the table, nodded gently to the two people in the store, and then took Hathaway to the door of the store.

　　 Ding Dong~

　　 The door was closed again, and the red-haired girl turned her head, cast an apologetic look at Jenkins, and was pulled back into the carriage by Hathaway.

　　 "She is still a little embarrassed, otherwise she won't go in such a hurry."

　　 Jenkins stunned and said.

"Yes it is."

　　 Papa picked up the gem on the wooden counter, looking a little interested.

　　 "Is it my illusion?"

　　 Jenkins didn't care about the value of that gem at all, but looked at the shop door a little bit inexplicably:

　　 "Did those two people just now..."

"Yes it is."

"Eh?"

Jenkins looked at his father, and the old man shrugged: "I only recently learned about it accidentally. Neither Britney Mihail nor Hathaway Hertha will inherit the titles of their respective families, so as long as they don’t mix with men before marriage, Don’t make everyone aware of their little hobbies. What they want, it’s useless if they interfere in the family...Aristocrats, it’s normal to be abnormal at all. I also heard that a baron likes to sing... ...."

　　 "It's alright, I'm not interested in knowing!"

　　 Jenkins stretched out his hand to surrender.

Seeing that he was still looking at the door of the store, the old man lazily removed his eyes from the ruby, "Why, interested in her? This is probably a bit difficult. You haven't been in love yet, do you? Dad will introduce one to you, and I won’t give gifts when we get married."

"no no."

　　 Jenkins shook his head quickly, but his face was flushed, "It just feels weird."

He still didn’t say the second half of the sentence in his heart. Miss Mikhail is indeed a completely ordinary person, as the old man said, but since she is looking for a way to become a gifter, she will definitely not know the “good friends” around her. "It's a level 2 gifter.

　　 Besides, the color scheme of the light spots in front of her is a bit familiar?

　　 "Forget it, what does it have to do with me?"

　　 Jenkins shook his head, and put the matter behind for the time being.

　　 He looked at his father: "Is this ruby ​​worth the money?"

　　 "It's very pure. The medal used to exchange you is about 20% premium. Keep it. Many ceremonies require this kind of pure gem powder. This kind of purity is not easy to get."

　　 With a throw of his right hand, the ruby ​​drew an arc in the air and fell towards Jenkins. Jenkins caught it in a hurry, feeling a little warm on the ruby.

　　 "That's the temperature of the palm of my hand, not that of the noble daughter just now, don't think too much."

　　 At this moment, the old man has seen through Jenkins' thoughts as if he has mastered the ability to read mind.

　　 Although I did not receive the expected golden pound, the ruby ​​looks very beautiful. In the evening, bid farewell to the old man, Jenkins did not go home first in the carriage, but went to the Neisser Bros Joint Bookstore on Sophisto Boulevard.

　　 After paying the fare, Jenkins tidied up his clothes and walked slowly to the bookstore.

　　 The literacy rate in this era is very low. In addition, today is a working day, the compulsory off-duty time stipulated by the laws of the Kingdom has not arrived yet, and there are very few people in the store.

　　Different from the blooming flowers of the earth, there are not many books that can be published here, so the store is not the rows of bookshelves as imagined, but the simple wooden tables attached to the four walls.

　　 took a deep breath.

　　 "Ha, the smell of ink."

　　 Jenkins prayed to the sage in his heart. After looking around, he could easily see his book—because the painting style of the book cover is very different.

　　 paced up to the book, and visually inspected it, there should be less than ten sold today. Jenkins laughed bitterly, picked up one after hesitating, twisted a few bills from his pocket, and summoned the waiter in the store to checkout.

　　 Like he said jokingly to his father in the store, he really looks forward to the "Stories of Foreigners" written by himself can quickly become popular. It's not a need for money, it's just a psychological expectation to admit it.

　　 "Is my writing really so bad? Or is the audience of fairy tale books too small?"

　　 Jenkins walked down the street with a book in distress. First, he took the repaired watch from the watchmaker and paid the final payment of 13 shillings. Then he turned to the magnificent bank in front of the house, with the white stone pillars in front of which was carved with the holy emblem of [Wonderless Traveler], and turned to another street in the smoke that enveloped the entire city.

　　 He was thinking about it so seriously that he didn't notice the more and more weird gears turning around the watchmaker.

On the other side that he doesn’t know, Mr. Grant, the old painter, is holding Jenkins’s book, introducing this new style of drawing to his drawing class students; Byrne, who has signed a contract with the church and conducted strict inspections Professor Si walked away from the church that burned more than half of it with a smile on his face, greeted the carriage on the street, and returned to the college with the new book his father gave him.

(Dividing line)

　　 If you don't get a large salary every week, Jenkins' cash on hand will really bottom out.

His relocation plan is still on hold. The remittance from Mr. Brow will not be available until the third week after the publication of "A Strange Story". Recently, Jenkins has become more and more aware of living with his family and his daily time. Almost dead.

　　Although the time agreed with the Huntress has not yet arrived, he still took time to go to the black market during the half-day holiday this week.

　　 Jenkins hopes to buy an affordable and extraordinary item at a cheap price to complete the transaction with Miss Bailing. Recently, the worse luck has made him more eager to improve himself.

　　 As for the gold nugget brought out from the treacherous realm, Jenkins hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to store it first and save it for other purposes later.

　　 Like last time, after paying a toll from the bartender in the bar, Jenkins walked into the black market sewer from the cellar entrance wearing a mask.

　　 It's still so dim here, the air is filled with a faint smell, and only a few sellers have a little bit of light in front of them.

　　 Jenkins passed the lit candle with the shadow on one side in turn. The light is indeed quite a lot, but he still can only look at it.

　　 "Requiem is so expensive?"

　　 He stood in front of a thin figure sitting cross-legged in surprise. The seller put all the materials and items he sold on the ground and marked the price with a paper sticker. Among them, the price of the Requiem Charm was three times the price of the last time I saw it.

Chapter 65 Chapter 62 The Evil Spirit and the Professor

"It's not caused by the recent haunting in the city. Many nobles and merchants with avenues are looking for requiem charms and other occult items that can cause harm to the spirit body, so the price of these items will naturally increase. Coming up."

　　 The thin figure said casually.
