Julia took advantage of the gap when Jenkins was speaking, and asked timely.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 The cat stood up and answered her immediately.

　　 "Have you eaten? If you have already eaten, just prepare some supper for us. If you haven't eaten yet, then everyone will eat together."

　　 Dolores was waiting for the two to return, and she hadn't had dinner yet, and she even pushed her sister to attend important meetings in the evening. Now the two who had gone out returned, the family all sat at the dining table and continued to listen to Jenkins’s story:

"The tree is very old, and it is not afraid of fire or ice. Later, Alexia thought of a way and asked me to use that new walking stick into a scepter, forcibly giving someone who likes to eat leaves and The worms of wood give excessive vitality. You can’t imagine those terrible worms when they grow to the size of a calf..."

　　 "Enough Jenkins, you don't need to remind me of what I saw just now."

　　 Alexia interrupted Jenkins in time, so that everyone could continue the dinner safely.

　　Behind the terrible old tree, the bones of the mad poet were touched and became active. The skeleton is a terrifying monster between the cursed spirit body and the undead entity, immune to most physical and curse attacks. In the beginning, only the attack made by Alexia with her blue cube was effective. Later Jenkins realized that it must be a means containing the rules of the world to work, so he directly told the corpse with a lie that it could no longer act. .

　　 This did not fully work, but it made it lose its ability to incarnate, move at a high speed, and change positions in space. Jenkins and Alexia could only win.

　　 "Then have you found any useful clues?"

　　 Dolores asked curiously while manipulating the knife and fork.

"The small mountain village has remained the same for thousands of years because of the power of the curse. We found some traces of fighting in the village, followed the traces, and climbed up to the nearby snow-capped mountains, and found extremely terrifying on the top of the snow-capped mountains. The battle remains. There is beyond the scope of the curse of the village, but the traces have not disappeared after thousands of years. The mad poet and the nameless brave at that time are probably stronger than any of us...Jenkins may sometimes Can fight them, but at least not in the current state."

　　 Alexia explained, Jenkins nodded:

"It is impossible to imagine that a mortal staying in the material world can leave such traces of battle only by his own ordinary state. Sure enough, all the original savior emblems and the effects of abilities can be called miracles. The mad poet grabs from the disaster. Strength, but in the end I lost to my opponent. Now I am more and more convinced that the warrior who did not leave a name is the real savior who saved the material world at the end of the fifteenth era."

　　 He said so, Julia glanced at her princess, who pretended not to hear anything.

"The most important discovery is that when we searched the mountain village, we found the residence of the mad poet and the outsider at the same time. In the residence of the mad poet, we found the map he held at the time, translated the logo on it, and checked it. The changes in the topography of the material world over the past millennia have helped us find his footprints, but it is very difficult. In the room of the unknown brave, we found the letter left by him. The letter was left to later generations, the crazy poet back then. After being killed, because the leaked curse was too strong, the brave could only leave with the living people in the village, waiting for the time to weaken the power of the curse before resolving it.

　　 said in the letter that if he did not return, then after the curse was resolved, the latecomers could look for him to collect compensation. "

　　 Alexia said.

　　 "But that was already three epochs ago, where are you going to get paid?"

　　Dolores asked:

　　 "Psychic or divination? I like the teacher's digital divination."

"Neither. The letter from the brave asked us to find the Franka family living in the Western Continent. Regardless of the age, as long as this family still exists, after showing the letter, we can get rewards. However, both Alexia and I Don’t know this family, Dolores, a nobleman with this surname in my own country?"

　　 Jenkins asked the princess.

　　Dolores thought about it and shook her head, then looked at Julia, who said immediately:

　　 "Tomorrow I will go to the library of the royal family to check. The surnames of all the nobles of the three modern kingdoms and some nobles of the small kingdoms are included in the library's database."

　　 "That would be great, I was thinking of Miss Tostivil to check it out, so I don't have to trouble her now."

　　 Jenkins said with a smile, although today is very tiring, but everything is worth it.

　　He carefully cut a small piece from the steak with a silver knife, and then took it to his mouth with a fork. In fact, he is still used to using chopsticks until now, but now everyone is eating here, there is no need to be maverick.

　　咚咚咚~

　　 The door of the restaurant was knocked, Julia went to the door to check it, and then the old butler walked in quickly.

　　 "Mr. William, the carriage of the Church of the Sage is outside, and something seems to be an emergency."

　　 The old butler leaned over and whispered in Jenkins' ear.

　　 "What's the matter so late?"

　　 Jenkins has some doubts, but since the church specially sent someone to look for him, there is naturally a reason. I simply ate a few bites to fill my stomach, and then said goodbye to the ladies.

　　 first changed his clothes for the trip, and went back to the restaurant to pick up the cat. Then he hurriedly walked out of the door of the house to the courtyard, and then saw Father Fernando anxiously waiting at the door of the manor.

　　 "Sorry, it took some time to change clothes."

　　 He jumped into the carriage, and the priest immediately accelerated the coachman toward the city.

　　 "Did this happen in the city?"

　　 Jenkins only had time to ask, but looking out the car window, the city was getting closer and closer to peace. It seemed like a peaceful night.

　　 "It's not that Ruen has the problem, it's Nolan. Now Miss Bevanna from Nolan is looking for you in an urgent matter."

　　 soon came to the church, and then met Miss Bevana through the basin of delusion that was already prepared. She was not indoors, but on the street. Jenkins judged based on the picture that his eyes could capture, this should be in the slums of Nolan's Lower City.

　　 The night sky as the background is shrouded in dark clouds. But this dark cloud has nothing to do with the rain at night, it is purely a strange phenomenon caused by peculiar spirits venting into the city and piled up together. In other words, Nolan, who had just recovered from the "torrential rain" and "earthquake", had another terrible event.

Chapter 1369 Chapter 1346

　　 "What happened to this?"

　　 There was a whole team of scribes with Miss Bevanna, and some alien corpses were scattered around them. Those alien species are mostly corpse-eating creatures and cursed ones. In other words, they are all enemies of mankind. Except for certain curses and illegal alchemy experiments, these creatures have actually long since disappeared in the material world.

"Jenkins, sorry to bother you so late, it's like this. This afternoon, someone in Nolan opened a door connecting the material world with the outside world, causing a large number of alien species to enter the city through this route. Now Nolan Lan City is under total martial law. All citizens are forbidden to go out. The church is led by the church to search for the escaped alien species. Although the situation is temporarily controlled, we still have not found the location of the door. We are asking your stargazing teacher Ao Dai After Miss Li asked for advice, she said that you must do the divination this time."

　　 "I will do it? But..."

　　 Jenkins's head in the sky showed a hesitant expression. He knew his level very well. It took a lot of effort to divination lost keys, not to mention key information such as divination. But he can do something. In the camp fire incident a few days ago, he got a broken mirror, which can help find it.

　　 "This is Audrey's original words, she said you will have a way. No matter what method you use, please give me the answer before dawn. The time is now..."

　　 Miss Bevanna looked at the clock tower that stood in the middle of the city.

　　 "It's nine o'clock in the evening, and you have ten hours left. Please as soon as possible. Although the situation is now under control, we don't know if the number of alien species rushing from another world will double in the next wave."

　　 Miss Bevanna asked, Jenkins couldn't find a reason to shirk the task, so she nodded and agreed.

　　 "However, alien invasion, it won't be because of..."

When 　　 pulled his head out of the basin of delusion, Jenkins suddenly thought of something. So he introduced the current situation to Mr. Fernando, and then asked for a spacious room in the church, locked himself in it, and declared that he would perform complicated divination.

　　 "You are here to watch the door for me. If someone knocks on the door, just postpone it. I will come back every hour."

　　 When he was ready, he made excessive demands on his cat. The cat yelped a little displeasedly, but did not object.

　　Everything is ready, go to Nolan immediately. After walking out of my closet, I noticed that the atmosphere tonight is unusual. Just coming to the street from the backyard was a delay of ten minutes, because the church's giftmen were constantly patrolling the streets with the local police and even the army.

　　 Jenkins finally had the risk of summoning a unicorn on the roof of the empty Miss Yindi’s house next door, and then letting the unicorn fly to a high altitude invisible to the ground.

　　 Looking down on the city from this height, Nolan is lit by warm yellow lights, and the outline of the city and the dense fog surrounding the city are clearly visible. Clusters of fire lights are intertwined in the narrow streets. This is a patrol team carrying oil lamps and torches. Judging from the density of the fire, it is basically impossible to move on the ground now.

　　 Jenkins knew that he didn't have time to admire the night view of the city, so he let the unicorn fly to the construction site of the Nolan branch of the Fidcicle National Bank in the east of the city after taking off. Today Mr. White Cat planned an action here. Thinking of the alien corpse beside Miss Bevanna just now, Jenkins connected these two things together, so before starting the so-called divination, he must confirm whether his guess is reasonable.

　　 Since the Kingdom announced the banking reform at the beginning of this year, construction has begun. In four months, the basic framework of the building has begun to take shape. Because the gate was closed, there was no need to arrange night-time personnel inside. Jenkins was able to land on the roof, then stepped on the temporary wooden boards and metal brackets that were convenient for construction, and returned to the ground from the side.

　　 This neighborhood is very quiet, and there is no **** smell in the air, as if it has nothing to do with the turmoil of the city tonight. Jenkins stood in the shadow of the building to cover his figure, and then looked around with real eyes, trying to find suspicious auras, but found nothing.

　　 It was only after careful inspection that some blood stains were found in the corner on the inner side of the first floor. The blood has dried up, but it shouldn't be more than a day since then.

　　 "Is it irrelevant to the matter here?"

　　 He can only come to this conclusion for the time being, and he has repeatedly confirmed that no clue can be found here, so he can only return to Luen first.

　　 The cat in the room lay down faithfully in front of the door, and when he heard the sound of Jenkins getting up, he stood up and pounced on him. The young writer immediately praised his cat for being very useful, and he kept slapping and petting. Chocolate was obviously very useful for this series of actions.

B-07-4-2637 [Incomplete Treasure Hunting Bronze Mirror] I took it with him. Jenkins originally planned to use it to find "clues related to the blood of the Williams family", but now for Nolan, he can only take this piece The broken mirror was used.

According to the process seen from the data, Jenkins slashed his finger with a knife, and then carefully wrote on the mirror with blood "Looking for a portal connecting to another world" in Nolan City, then opened the window and threw the mirror at hand. Far away.

　　 did not hear the sound of the bronze mirror falling to the ground, on the contrary, a sudden wind almost fascinated Jenkins' eyes. He hurriedly bent down to avoid the wind under the window. When the wind disappeared and the window was about to be closed, there was an extra branch on the window sill that was blown out by the wind.

　　The branches are just ordinary branches. Jenkins' eyes can confirm this. This should be a hint given by the mirror.

　　 He took this branch and sat at the table to check it several times, but he didn't find the secret hidden in it. Later, he remembered to distinguish the tree species. This might have some special meaning.

　　 After checking and guessing, Jenkins thought it was a branch of birch.

　　 "Birch...Mr. Birch?"

　　 Mr. White Birch was one of the first members of Mr. Hood’s party. He died on a rainy night last fall because of a girl selling flowers. Jenkins visited their home at the beginning of the year because of the fruit bowl. Mr. Birch’s family had a pretty good life, and the death of the head of the family did not cause other family tragedies. Their address Jenkins is very clear, this is the goal of the next stop.

Chapter 1370 A Loyal Heart

　　 "What does this matter have to do with Mr. Birchwood?"

　　 After connecting the clues in his hand with Mr. Birchwood, Jenkins thought in confusion, and then asked himself in his heart:

　　 "Is my interpretation wrong?"

　　 But no more useful information could be read from the ordinary branches. Jenkins considered it for a moment and returned to Nolan again, this time to the home of Mr. Birchwood.

　　 After the death of Mr. Bai Birch, because there were no adult men in the family, the family moved from the alley where they were originally living to a rented apartment on the street with relatively good security. The family was crowded in a room on the third floor.

　　 It also belongs to the martial law area of ​​the city. Jenkins jumped from the unicorn to the roof and lay there carefully avoiding the alert gaze of the police and the benefactors patrolling below. It took a while to find the attic skylight.

　　 The skylight was locked, and he rudely melted other people's locks before turning into the attic. There is no light in this rental apartment now, it is very late, and everyone is asleep.

　　 crept from the attic to the third floor, still wondering whether he should enter the room of Mr. Birchwood’s family, the door actually opened by itself.

　　 Jenkins covered his mouth to prevent the gasping noise from being too loud, being heard by the old man walking out wearing clothes. It was Mr. Birchwood's mother, an old lady in her fifties. She didn't look like she was going to the bathroom in her dress.

　　 The old man is also tricky, and he seems to be very good at it. She came all the way to the first floor and walked out of the house. Jenkins followed behind and watched the old man walking in narrow and remote alleys. She successfully avoided three or four waves of patrolling police officers along the way, and ended up with no name in the slum. The downstairs of an unfinished building stopped.

　　 "What do you want to do when you come out so late? Even if you are dating a lover, she is a bit too old..."

　　 Jenkins's doubts hidden in the corner have reached a culmination, and before long, another sneaky man walked over from the other side of the alley against the shadow of the wall. Jenkins had some impression on this person's face. He had seen it in the local daily newspaper, and it seemed that it was an insignificant official from Nolan City Hall.

　　 "Mrs. Wood, long time no see."

　　 The slightly fat middle-aged man said while wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, looking very nervous.

"More accurately, since the terrible news was delivered 12 years ago, we have never seen each other again. I didn't expect that after so many years, I actually remembered that there was a person above... What's going on tonight? Why is there a sudden martial law?"

　　 Mr. White Birch’s mother, that is, Mr. Jack Wood’s mother, Mrs. Wood asked.

"I heard that it was the pirate king from the outer seas. He sent a small army of murderers and rapists and sneaked into the city... It doesn't matter. Mrs. Wood, after so many years, the organization has once again activated us. This line, as my superior, you should know why this is."

　　 "Of course I know, because the war has begun, we spies who were inserted from the Kingdom of Chessland to the Kingdom of Fiddicelli have been silent for more than ten years and finally come in handy again."

　　 The old man said disdainfully, but he didn't know the other side of the wall. The young man covering his mouth was surprised and didn't know how to express his feelings.

　　 "Spy? Mr. Birchwood's mother, is the spy of the Kingdom of Chesland?"

　　 If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Wood’s confession, Jenkins would never have imagined that an old man in his fifties could also be a spy. It is not difficult to hear from the conversation between the two just now that Mrs. Wood and the man were spies at least twelve years ago. It is hard to imagine when they were dispatched to their country for missions.

　　 "I thought you would not come to see me. After all, so many years have passed, and your last task has already been completed. Even if you decide to become an ordinary person and forget the past, I can understand."

　　 The man said to the old man a little ashamed.

"I still remember the vow I made before leaving my hometown. Even if I lived in Nolan for more than 30 years, even if I married a man from the Kingdom of Fidcicle and gave birth to the next generation for him, I still I have not forgotten where my homeland is."

　　 Mrs. Wood said calmly, these are the words of an old man in his fifties.

　　 "I know that I may not have a chance to go back in my life, and I can't even be buried in my hometown after death, so I can only make some contributions to the country during my lifetime."

　　 "You are really..."

　　 The man was as surprised as the secretly eavesdropping Jenkins. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he could only sigh:

　　 "If there are more people like you in our country, I am afraid that the prosperity of the ancient Xicali Empire would have been restored long ago."

　　It is not difficult to hear from the conversation that the purpose of the two people's trip is to restore the spy intelligence line that has been silent for more than ten years. Mrs. Wood and the man whose name Jenkins can't name is to confirm each other's loyalty. Mrs. Wood will announce the decision made by her superiors, recent tasks, new codebooks, and grants for special periods.

　　 This information may be very important to some people, but it has nothing to do with the purpose of Jenkins's trip. He still remembered that he was looking for the portal that connected the material world to the outside world, so he was anxiously thinking whether he had gone the wrong way, but at this time he heard the man asking Mrs. Wood:

"...I shouldn't have asked about something, but... I heard that your son passed away unexpectedly last fall. Sorry, I should have sent you a letter or attended the funeral. , But did not make any indication in the end."

"You are right to do this. Jack has nothing to do with our business. He always thinks that I am just an ordinary housewife. There is no need to worry about him after his death. You don't have to pity me, I have two more A promising grandson, they will grow up smoothly under the protection of God..."

　　Mrs. Wood’s voice was transmitted to Jenkins' ears through the wind. He didn’t know whether he was right or wrong to eavesdrop on the conversation, but Mr. Birch’s family was indeed a bit too complicated.

"You don't have to worry about my life. Even without the special allowance that Shire sends every month, our family is living well. Little Jack has a wide range of friends, including librarians, businessmen, students, and his friends after his death. Willing to help us..."

　　 Jenkins didn't listen carefully to the rest, because it has nothing to do with him. With a heavy heart, he turned his head and walked towards Mr. Bai Birch's house, wanting to see if he had missed any clues. But just after turning the corner, I heard painful groans from the dim alley.

Chapter 1371 Chapter 1348

　　 Hearing those strange sounds, Jenkins frowned and hesitated before walking over cautiously, while still observing the aura with his eyes. He immediately recognized that the aura belonged to Mr. Hood, so he walked quickly into the alley and found a few ghoul corpses next to a foul-smelling trash can. Then he walked forward and saw Hood. The husband leaned slantingly on the low wall.
