Jenkins met him in the church before, but didn't know his specific name.

　　 "This is Mr. Steinno Adil. The position... is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and information aggregation. It is a clerical job like us. This matter is for him."

　　 Daddy winked at him as he spoke. Jenkins nodded knowingly, probably in a sensitive position in charge of spying on intelligence.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Williams."

　　 The middle-aged man in a black formal suit and a high-necked red sweater underneath has a very polite tone.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Adil."

　　 Jenkins does not comment on this style of dressing, but I think it should be very warm.

"From the information transmitted from the Holy See, there is indeed an 8th-level gifter who claims to be Constantine. His faith is unknown, but it is certain that he is not a believer of the righteous god. What you said about the [Gem Gathering] we also have certain Understand that this is an illegal secret gathering organized by this illegal gifter. In addition to you, the two gifters of the [Sun and Justice] Church and the [Starry Sky and Balance] Church are also here because of the accident you have experienced. In the gathering. Level 8 can already cause considerable damage, but this gathering has not done anything that is against the morals and laws, plus the tracking of Constantine is not very smooth, and I only know that it is in progress. Somewhere in the Kingdom of Silan, so we will not take any action against him, but will be cautiously observing..."

Section 182 Chapter 178 The Believers of Lies

　　 "Is it just like this? Oh, I mean, is there some handling of this matter..."

　　 Jenkins has not found a suitable vocabulary yet, Mr. Adil laughed:

"Mr. Williams, I understand what you mean. Are you trying to say that you are not cautious, right? The Orthodox Church is very kind. Since he did not do strange things, but just collected some more secret knowledge, we It is still tolerable. Moreover, there are members of the Orthodox Church in the gathering, and we can grasp all the dynamics of the gathering."

　　 Jenkins knew about the weird attitude of the Church of Righteous God towards the believers of false gods a long time ago, but he did not expect that the church would hold this indifferent attitude even if the opponent's level is 8.

　　 In Jenkins's opinion, there is no difference between such a treatment and no treatment, but he did not put forward his own point of view. After all, what is the relationship between a true **** and a false god? This is an extremely sensitive topic.

　　 "So, should I still attend that party?"

　　 He asked again, this is something related to himself.

"This will be handled by Mr. William himself. Of course, if you are willing to provide the church with the actions and words of the 8th-level gifter in each meeting, we can give you an additional intelligence fee... .."

　　 dropped a few silver coins into the fundraising box, and Jenkins followed his father out of the church through the front door.

　　 "Does it feel strange."

　　 Dad shook his coat and asked before Jenkins could speak.

　　 "Yes, there are some."

　　 "You will understand sooner or later, but it is still too young."

　　 "Yes, yes, I am a young man."

　　 Jenkins nodded helplessly and followed him around the street. Seeing no one around, he asked in a low voice, "But that's level 8 after all, would you be too cautious..."

　　 "Because it is an 8th level gifter, so you don't need to be careful."

The old man’s tone was a little strange, but he didn’t look back at him. Instead, he pretended to be interested in the three-story white building at the intersection ahead. On the balcony on the second floor, a man wearing a red and yellow striped hat was looking at him. Looking at the sky with a black pipe, Jenkins remembered that there seemed to be a club, and the annual fee was higher than that of Mr. Ink's club.

　　 Dad obviously didn't intend to continue explaining. Jenkins touched his nose and felt that the world became more and more weird.

　　 He still remembered what he had heard from the coachman in the morning about the wounded Robert Kumbu in the street murder, so he asked his father for advice.

　　 The old man didn’t know about this, so he called a little boy in a patched shirt from nowhere, and gave him a pound note and a letter. Of course, he also paid 10 pence for the delivery fee.

　　 This little boy has obviously known his father for a long time. He glanced at the name on the envelope and knew where he was going. During the rainstorm night, Jenkins learned through the letter that his father and some people on the street were also very familiar with him. I think the little boy is one of them.

　　 In the evening, the boy sent a reply, and Dad glanced at it and understood what happened.

　　 "The police on guard did not leave the door of the ward last night, but they disappeared after opening the door early in the morning. The doctor on duty also certified that no one came in or out after the hospital was closed last night. The door was locked."

　　 There are no rules for hospitals in this era to be open all day long, and the inpatient buildings are completely locked at night and will not be opened unless there is an emergency, such as a fire.

　　 "Walking from the window? Yesterday I asked my father to write a letter to Sheriff Black and went to the hospital. He lived on the third floor."

　　 Jenkins asked in surprise.

　　 "Yes, it is impossible for ordinary people to jump out of the window, but not necessarily for ordinary people."

　　 Dad also understood what it meant, "Well, then, I happen to be going to a church tonight, so I'll report this matter then."

　　 "Do you think this is related to the followers of the evil **** [Prince of Lies]?"

　　 Jenkins asked again, the scammer is not necessarily a believer of this evil god, but the believer of this evil **** must be a scammer, this is something ordinary people know.

"We can’t judge casually without evidence, but this direction will definitely be investigated. I remember that the information you just provided included things related to this evil god, and the two may be connected. I remember that Eldron seemed Without our church, maybe we can think of another way..."

　　 Because he was very interested in the affairs of the Augustus family, Jenkins asked if he knew more about him. The information that can be verified by this family began when the kingdom was established. Before that, Augustus was a commoner's last name.

　　 There are only these, different from the ancient and notorious family of demon summoners-the Asyash family, the Augustus family is very ordinary. The history of the Asyash family can be traced back to the last epoch. Only the descendants who recognize and practice the devil's call can be regarded as the core members of this family.

　　 This family was completely wiped out by the [Sun and Justice] church around 1666 on the General Calendar. But to this day, there are still rumors that the Asyash family still has descendants. The fact that the demons descended from Nolan City was taken seriously by the church, so it was inevitable to think of them.

　　 When Jenkins left in the evening, Dad also closed the shop and went to church. Jenkins was walking down the street holding chocolate, thinking about the gem party today.

　　 Maybe his luck is really bad, just rubbing the lid a few times and getting into such trouble. Maybe in the future we will be more cautious and it is best to avoid all unnecessary social activities.

　　 Just when I walked to St. George Street, I saw a carriage parked in front of my house. The red-haired girl poked her head out of the car and greeted Jenkins with a smile, while Mrs. Mahart, the middle-aged maid hired by him, stood nervously aside with a basket of vegetables.

　　 Jenkins nodded to Hathaway, first put down the chocolate and let it run into the house, then opened the fence door and let Mrs. Mahart go to clean up the kitchen.

　　 Chocolate jumped quickly from the fence, ran a few steps towards the house, then wagged his tail and called back, then turned and got out of the space under the fence, and ran into the carriage.

　　 It is time for neighbors to commute to and from get off work. A bachelor in Jenkins cannot invite young girls to his home. It is not good to be seen by neighbors. He has to take care of his reputation—at least he thinks so. Originally, he planned to talk to his friend in the carriage, and now that the chocolate got in, he had even more reason to enter.

Chapter 183 Chapter 179 Mr. Goodman's Topic

　　 "Good evening, Hathaway."

　　 He still remembered the request of "In private, please call me Hathaway."

　　 "Good evening, Mr. Baron."

　　 The girl raised her mouth slightly, watching the cat rest on Jenkins' lap again.

　　 "Your cat seems a little too smart."

　　 "Yes, I gave it a dose of [Animal Spiritual Enlightenment Potion], obviously the effect is very good."

　　 "A potion with extraordinary properties?"

　　 She was a little surprised, "So you really have other gifted friends."

　　 "Of course, although I am not very social, I still have some friends."

　　 Jenkins was talking, thinking about whether Daddy’s friends count as his own friends.

"This is very good. Making more friends is very important for gifted people like us. Of course, you should also pay attention to safety. It is not that everyone can be trusted like me. Later, I can introduce some friends I know to you."

　　 Of course, Jenkins believes that she will definitely not introduce "Mr. Candle" to herself, because Mr. Candle has followed Jenkins, and once they get to know Hathaway Hesha is Miss Braun, it will be exposed.

　　 While nodding her head, she reached out and handed the golden invitation card next to the cushion to Jenkins.

　　 "Oh, the invitation card inlaid with gold in the legend."

　　 Jenkins sighed in his heart and saw the content inside.

　　 "Miss Hesha's dance party? Thank you very much for the special invitation, but it's too formal, right?"

　　 Earlier today, he had learned about the events of the ball from Viscount Augustus, but he obviously couldn't show that he knew it at this time.

　　 "Wait, why can't you show that you know this?"

　　 Jenkins asked himself, only then did he realize that his current identity can know this information, which is something ordinary Jenkins Williams can also know.

　　 "The performer is going to be fascinated, and I can't tell who I am!"

　　 Jenkins was surprised and warned himself to know who he is before speaking.

Hathaway’s explanation is similar to what Viscount Augustus said, but she also warned Jenkins that the relationship between the nobles is intricate, and if he is unwilling to involve them, it is great to use the power of the church as part of his background. s Choice.

　　 Jenkins naturally understands these things, but thank you politely.

　　 Now that he met this familiar noble girl, Jenkins also inquired about the Viscount Augustus. Dad’s investigation is very detailed, but there will always be different gains from different angles of information.

　　 "Viscount Augustus, do you mean Hunter Augustus?"

　　 Hathaway's expression was a little surprised.

　　 "I don't know the full name of the Viscount, but he now lives in a manor outside the city, and his health is very bad. It seems that he has been in bed for a long time. The address of the manor is..."

　　 "Needless to say, I know who it is."

The young lady lowered her voice and warned softly: "If you only meet occasionally, I think it's best not to have close contacts with him. This generation of Viscount Augustus is an extremely unfortunate person, and all his close relations with him People died very early. There is a saying that the Augustus family had no intention of offending [The End of Death], so it ended up being cursed by the gods. Of course, these are all private statements. , You can’t hear it normally."

"Oh?"

　　 Jenkins did not expect that there is such a story in this, "then [Death and End] the church will always have something to say? After all, it involves the great existence they believe in."

　　 "The great end-of-life church did not make any statement. This is just a matter for mortals. I was also interested in it, but it did not involve any transcendent factors. Perhaps Augustus was really cursed by the gods."

　　 Hathaway was obviously unwilling to talk more on topics involving gods, so Jenkins didn't ask.

　　 She will go to Miss Mikhail to prepare for the prom together in a while, and the two did not talk about other things. After Jenkins reminded her of the suspected [Gear Germ] incident in the city recently, the two said goodbye.

　　 Hathaway hasn’t heard of this, but she apparently knew about this trick numbered A-08-1-9990 before.

Waving his hand and watching the carriage turn around the corner, Jenkins was thinking whether to get some food for the chocolate in his arms first, or to check the external steam meter outside the house, and he saw the neighbor Mr. Goodman holding a black one. His purse came here with a dazed expression.

　　 "Oh, it's Mr. Goodman, good afternoon!"

　　He let the chocolate go into the house and stand at the fence to greet the middle-aged man.

　　 "Mr. Williams? Oh, good afternoon."

　　Goodman just noticed Jenkins,

　　 "You seem to be in a bad spirit. The temperature this autumn is indeed colder than in previous years. You must pay attention to your health."

　　 Jenkins would like to discuss boring topics such as weather in accordance with general social etiquette. This is also the ability that a qualified adult gentleman should have, and can find topics anytime, anywhere.

　　 "Really? Oh, thank you for your concern. My personal doctor said that my body is not bad, but I still need more exercise. Compared to the heavy snow two years ago, the temperature this year is actually not bad."

　　 Mr. Goodman also politely chatted with the newly moved neighbor about the weather, but just thought of saying goodbye, another thing came to mind. After hesitating, he said:

　　 "Mr. William, you should know that there have been some scammers in the city in recent weeks? This is really something to be very careful about. I heard that some people have been cheated out of their life savings."

　　 "Really? I heard about it too."

　　 Jenkins saw that the conversation turned to the direction that interests him, but fortunately he leaned on his fence:

　　 "Did you read today's "Nolan Daily"? The street attack on the docks in the newspaper is related to fraudsters. Yesterday morning..."

　　 As a witness to the murder, he recounted what he had encountered. Mr. Goodman was really surprised:

　　 "Really, I didn't expect such a dangerous thing to happen to us! I think that Sheriff Black's judgment should be correct, and the victim Robt Kumbu is the fraudster."

　　 Sheriff Black did not say such a thing, it was added by Jenkins for him, once to cover up his source of information.

"I also encountered such a thing, do you know? The Hogg Machinery Foundry where I work met a scammer, and the little Rex who was in charge of finance was defrauded of 3000 pounds by others. Oh, the goddess is here. My life is over, I don’t know if the machinery factory can survive this storm..."

Chapter 184 Chapter 180 Clue Pointing

　　 Jenkins understands that Mr. Goodman’s expression just now was because he was worried about whether his work could continue. 3000 pounds is a huge sum for a normally operating factory. Hogg Machinery Foundry is not a well-known company, and the working capital of the entire factory may only be this.

　　 Jenkins expressed sympathy, Mr. Goodman sighed repeatedly.

　　 The Foundry has reported the incident to the police gentlemen, but now they have no clues other than knowing that the accountant Rex Savery sent the money to Eldron in the Kingdom of Chessland. Since foreign cities are involved, it would be very difficult to recover the money.

　　 It's ridiculous. The trick to swindle that huge sum of money is very simple. A fake city hall signature document and a police officer's uniform will do. In Jenkins's opinion, this kind of deception is extremely low-level and the risk is also great, but after all, he is a foreigner who has watched legal programs for 10 years in another world, and his knowledge is indeed better than these ordinary citizens.

　　 "Eldron?"

　　 Watching the frustrated Mr. Goodman leave, Jenkins realized that the city had also heard of it during the day.

　　 "Most of the main members of the believers of [Prince of Lies] gathered there, and the money was also sent there. It shouldn’t be a coincidence? The person who defrauded the Hogg Machinery Foundry is also a believer of [Prince of Lies]?"

　　 While thinking, he looked at the mailbox. There are no letters today.

　　 "But this is too careless, why not transfer the money to another city first, and then remit it to Eldron? Isn't it safer?"

　　 He put himself into the perspective of a scammer and fell into deep thought.

　　 Anyway, the believers of [Prince of Lies] have no contact with Jenkins for the time being, and he is not willing to have any contact with them.
