Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 mortal,

　　 Cheers for the ending that will come! 】

　　 This is the same as the old slate, full of unclear meanings. Jenkins can understand that the first two sentences are about recent events, but he doesn't know what the "endgame" that has always been looming and implied represents.

　　Miss Bevanna is unwilling to talk about the slate with Jenkins. In fact, it seems that everyone who knows the inside story is deliberately avoiding this question.

　　 I have seen the vampire being crushed into powder by the power of the red moon when it reveals the secret, and Jenkins is also extremely cautious about this kind of knowledge. Seeing that he could not know more details, he asked about the inexplicable ability [Player (White Foundation)].

"I have never heard of this ability in the past, and I didn't find it in the secret library after returning to the church last night. Jenkins, generally speaking, the white basic ability means the oldest power, and it is the origin of mortals mastering extraordinary powers. . And all other abilities, in theory, can evolve from corresponding white basic abilities."

　　 Daddy talked about this knowledge with Jenkins a long time ago. The general meaning is that the white basic abilities mastered by different churches are usually the more general abilities or the origin of the magical abilities corresponding to this church.

　　 "In other words, most of the uncommon basic abilities are mastered by fixed pseudo-god sects."

　　 Jenkins concluded.

"Yes. Although the Church of the Sage does not have information on this ability, I think believers of the gods who master the priesthood of music will probably know something. [Magic Movement] Your Excellency also appeared in the events of the last day of last year, maybe His followers are still staying in this city, and the church will be responsible for finding them for you."

　　The believers of the **** of music don’t even have to look for it, because Jenkins’s best friend is. Although he dare not go to see Miss Mihaire now, it is still possible to meet Hathaway. When he left Miss Bevana's office, calculating whether he had time to find her in the afternoon, he walked with his head down and almost ran into Fini.

　　 It seems that I can see this little girl every time I come to church. I haven't seen it for a week. She doesn't seem to have changed much. When the two met in the corridor, she was hurriedly walking inward with a small flowerpot. In the flowerpot were spores that had just broken the soil, and the green was dripping.

　　 "Sir, you are back. Hello, chocolate!"

　　 She still didn't forget to say hello to the chocolate on Jenkins' shoulder. The cat lazily glanced at the girl, and also said "meow~" that she heard it.

　　 "I just came back last night. Oh, here's this for you."

　　 He handed the new book in his hand to the girl. The girl put the flowerpot on the ground and wiped the palm of her hand against the hem of her clothes. Then he took the book.

　　 Jenkins doesn't know if she can spell the title of the book now, but it is obvious that the girl understands what it is. She thanked Jenkins excitedly, and the two chatted a few more words before they separated.

　　 "There is finally something that goes well."

　　 There was a smile on Jenkins's face. He can now be sure that the curse of doom that spread in the blood of the Stres family did not appear on Fini, and the girl is now living well.

　　 Destiny will not always punish someone. After so many things, Fini has already ushered in her own sunrise.

PS: The real culprit about Blizzard Mountain is Quik. In fact, I hinted at the 660 and 661 chapters when everyone boarded the train a long time ago. Quik was the one who pretended "I'm going to lose." Players who showed big cards, but were still held down by Jenkins' luck. This makes the interlude's ending very clear, but unfortunately no one understands it.

Chapter 715 Chapter 702 The Professor's Return

　　 It was only about ten o'clock when he left the church. Seeing that there was still some time before lunch, he rode a carriage to the school where Professor Burns worked.

　　 When I got there, it happened to be after school at noon. Last year, when Fabry's scam was exposed, I gave a speech here. The janitor knew Jenkins and let him in directly.

　　 lowered his head to prevent others from seeing his face, and because he looked like a student in body shape and temperament, he did not arouse suspicion from others. I found the joint office of the Archaeology Department and the History Department of the School of History very smoothly, but did not see Professor Burns.

　　 The old gentleman near the desk and the professor told Jenkins that the professor had a class in the morning and he would not be back until 12 o'clock.

　　 I finally met the professor at the entrance of the newly painted office building. Jenkins waited impatiently and wanted to go straight to the classroom to wait, and he saw the professor directing the two young boys to carry some specimens toward this place.

Professor 　　 nodded at Jenkins, asked his students to move those things to the office, and then led him along the path to the back of the building, and stopped in a bush.

　　 "I'm back? I heard that Miss Beffanna went to find you in the snow-capped mountains. You seem to have some trouble."

　　 It seems that everyone knows what Jenkins encountered in Snow Mountain.

　　 "It was indeed a bad trip. We met... Let alone these, I don't want to think of those bad memories at all, although I still have to write a report."

　　 He shook his head violently.

　　 "Jenkins, fate has its own arrangements. Although some people think that this is a negative attitude toward life, we are all gifters and understand that the so-called destiny does exist. Oh, what can I do?"

　　Professor then remembered to ask business.

"Yes, when I went to the post office this morning, I bought this month's "Tropical Disease Medical Perspective". The meeting time for this month is tomorrow night. But I have other things on Sunday. You can go by yourself this time. I think......"

　　 "I understand, I will pass on the news from Mr. Corpse. Recently Nolan City is really messed up. I hope that gentleman can give us some effective suggestions."

　　 Sunday night also happened to be the time for Mr. Hood’s party, and what Jenkins had worried about for a long time finally appeared—the two parties met together. After weighing it in his mind, he decisively gave up to see Mr. Corpse.

　　 The demigod gifter and the weird abandoned hospital have always put a lot of pressure on him.

　　 When Jenkins gave his new book to the professor, the professor also gave Jenkins a small gift in return, as well as thanks for his speech at this school at the end of last year.

　　 The gift is a heavy red square box, originally thought to be wooden, but from the touch point of view, it is actually stone.

"B-06-4-2207, the gift box of the lonely. This is a kind of transcendence of plural existence. Anyone can dig them out below sea level. Open it in a festival defined by human society, or Open at a time that has special meaning to the owner, and you will receive a small gift. The size of the gift must be smaller than this small box, but the contents are completely random. It may be a small piece of sweet bread, or it may be valuable Special items for Liancheng."

　　 "This is too expensive, right?"

　　 Jenkins wants to return it to the professor.

　　 "Although it is rare, this thing can be opened, most of which are mortal, and the value is not high."

The professor shook his head to tell Jenkins not to refuse: "But I want to remind you that although the opened things are gifts, the scared gifts are also gifts. Its danger level is 4 because someone once opened it and was caught by the A-11- inside. 02-3488, [Mr. Prank's Prank Bomb] blows up, so you have to be careful. Take it, you will like it."

　　 Even if the professor said that the value of this item is not high, it is still a numbered item. If it is peddled on the black market, the reserve price will never be lower than 10 pounds.

　　 Seeing the refusal, Jenkins accepted it and planned to give the professor a big gift on the next holiday.

　　 Before leaving school, the cat reminded Jenkins to go to lunch. With this cat around, Jenkins will probably never miss a meal.

　　 They ate together at the restaurant on the riverside of Westminster River. Although it is the first time to visit this restaurant, the food here is very similar to Jenkins' taste.

　　 It’s just that the price is a bit expensive. With Jenkins’s net worth, he still feels distressed about his wallet when checking out. When I was counting the money in my pocket and thinking about how much to tip, I heard the guests at the next table talking about the Joeel Bridge not far from here, so I planned to see how it was repaired later.

　　 He also had his own plan in the afternoon. Before leaving Nolan, his father Robert Williams had already planned for him mineral investment. One of the letters I received this morning was from Privet Road. Robert learned about Jenkins’ return today at the church, and he asked another investor to join the owner and manager of the silver mine in Privet. Road signs the contract.

　　 met at two o'clock in the afternoon, so he still had some time to wander around.

　　 It has been a while since the Joeel Bridge was destroyed. Although Nolan City Hall is not known for its efficiency, it still takes care of such an important urban infrastructure.

　　 Jenkins strolled along the low wall on the street to the bridge and saw that the bridge had been restored to traffic. It's just that on the pier near one end, there are still metal pipe fittings and frame plates that have not been removed. It should take nearly two days to complete the repair here.

　　He walked up to the bridge, threw a silver coin at the entrance of the bridge, and then stopped in the middle of the bridge and stood on the edge of the bridge and looked at the distance of the frozen river. According to the experience of previous years, the river course will be unblocked in the first ten days of March, after which it will resume the boat-like grandeur, until the arrival of another winter.

　　 I didn't meet any acquaintances again during my casual strolling this time. I came to Privet Road on time to see my partner. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the contract signing went smoothly.

　　 Jenkins formally invested 30,000 gold pounds in a large silver mine in the Nolan Mountains, accounting for 3% of the shares, and the estimated annual return is 60,000 pounds.

　　 The high return does not mean that this is a fraud. There are two main reasons for such a generous investment. One is the identity of Jenkins at this time. His shareholding means that once the silver mine encounters some kind of trouble, then he may be able to get help from the Church of the Sage; the second is Robert’s efforts. He is now in the mining conglomerate and his career is in full swing, so he can find To such a good opportunity.

　　 From this perspective, Jenkins is a real privileged class.

Episode 716 Chapter 703 Saturday Night Party

　　 The Williams family is really making a fortune. If Jenkins does not have enough cash on hand, then Robert is very likely to participate in this investment by borrowing.

　　 "Speaking of which, why on earth did Williams get out of the house? I entrusted the bishop to investigate, but it didn't give me the result..."

　　 After signing the contract, Robert opened a bottle of red wine as a celebration. Everyone chatted, Jenkins also knew that the person in charge of Smith United Mining Company was not the Mr. Smith who helped Robert after the investment failure, but the great aristocrat who lived in the royal capital Berduran all the year round.

　　 The nobleman who holds the rank of Marquis holds 70% of the shares of the United Mining Corporation. He is the actual controller of the company. Mr. Smith is equivalent to a manager and an operator, and the actual decision-making power is not in his hands.

　　 "I really heard about this for the first time. I don't know which noble marquis it is? Maybe I was lucky enough to meet one person when I was in Berdylan."

　　 Jenkins asked curiously, but none of the partners knew it, and the only old William who knew the answer did not want to tell his son about it.

　　 The dinner of the day was held at the house of Privet Road, and Mary even kindly prepared a special plate for the chocolate. It happened that only the couple and Jenkins were at home today. Newman lived in the school to help the teacher complete an important paper, while John lived in the home of a classmate. This was his first week of school, but the young man had not yet adapted to the heavy study.

　　 "Speaking of which, John is graduating in one year. Is he going to continue his studies? I remember the last time we had a conversation in this regard, and he said that he has not made a decision yet."

　　 Jenkins asked, very satisfied with dinner tonight.

　　 "I hope he can continue his studies, but if John wants to work immediately, of course he won't object. Maybe you should ask him again. We will ask, it will put him a lot of pressure."

　　 Robert suggested, and then motioned to his wife to express some opinions.

　　 "Little John can do whatever he wants. He doesn't have to walk the path of you and Newman. He also has his own dream."

　　 Both Jenkins and Robert disagree with this view. In a sense, the thinking of these two men is very traditional, especially for Jenkins. The two life experiences he has experienced tell him that pursuing dreams is only the right and luck of a small number of talents.

　　Of course, none of them pointed this out, and Jenkins planned to have a good talk with John later and persuade him to continue to college like the two's eldest brother.

　　Because Alexia finally returned, Ruen's little party of four can also continue. Although today is not the usual Tuesday, in order to compensate for the two delays, the party is still going on this Saturday night.

　　 Under the pretext of making up lessons, Alexia was able to enter the palace again. And when Jenkins appeared in Miss Stuart's study, snow was floating outside like last night.

　　 Julia stood in the shadow of the corner and had no sense of existence. The two nodded to each other, both remembering the unexpected encounter in the pub last night.

　　 Alexia is wearing a blouse and a flat mirror with no degree. And Miss Stuart, as usual, sat at her desk with a sad look, facing the mathematical problem that can make people mentally disordered.

　　 "Long time no see, Miss Stuart."

　　 Jenkins appeared next to Alexia holding the cat, and greeted everyone in the room. Miss Stuart pursed her lips and looked up at him, and Jenkins read the cry for help from her eyes.

　　 "Are you still working on the problem?"

　　 "Yes, but I think Dolores will take longer. Maybe we can talk about what happened recently, Jenkins, your vacation is interesting, right?"

　　 "Interesting? I found that everyone asked the same question."

　　 As he talked, he paced to Miss Stuart at the desk, as if he wanted to see the topic.

　　 Those are just some simple equation application problems. For Jenkins who has been in the examination room, it is not difficult to solve the first-order multivariate equations in the real number domain, but it is obviously very complicated for the 16-year-old Miss Steward.

　　 "Your progress is a bit fast, right? I remember the last time you came here, you just started discussing the problem of solving equations."

　　 Jenkins tried to help intercede, Miss Stuart nodded desperately in agreement.

"I left some homework assignments when I left. Obviously, Dolores was obsessed with the carnival after the end of the year and didn’t deal with them in time. This is punishment. If she can’t solve them before you leave, then tonight’s The party cannot go on."

　　 It's a matter of course that Alexia doesn't care about love, and Jenkins is not surprised by this.

　　 He asked the question just now, only to make his behavior of staying at the table seem reasonable. While the two asked and answered the question, [Reading] had quietly played a role, writing the idea of ​​understanding the question on Miss Stuart's papyrus.

　　 With Alexia’s intelligence, he must be able to tell the difference between Jenkins and Miss Stuart. Therefore, he only gives ideas and does not write conclusions, so as to prevent this little "cheating" from being seen.

　　 But Jenkins still thinks that the short lady has discovered the trickiness, because when she checked the conclusion, she looked at Jenkins with a smile. But she didn't say anything, she was just admonishing Miss Stuart to do her homework in time, and then announced the start of the party.

　　 After this, Jenkins's "exciting" vacation life accounted for more than an hour. He even took the sapphire with the big head here and asked his friends to help identify what it was.

　　 The origin of this gem is related to the sealed puppets underground, and Mrs. Hydra does not want the church to know about the underground matters. Therefore, he could not entrust his father to appraise, and he could only hope that Alexia or Miss Stuart would be knowledgeable.

　　 Most women's love for jewelry and gems is carved into their blood, so when the sapphire appeared in Jenkins's hands, the women in the study suddenly became quiet, and could only hear a few heavy breathing.

　　 "Oh~"

　　Miss Stuart suddenly stood up, stretched out her finger, and touched the surface of the gem, as if to determine whether it was an illusion.

　　 It looks like a big stone in the dark, but in a bright room, even Jenkins can't refuse the light reflected from the surface of the gem. This dazzling thing is an absolute work of art, even if it is not a gem, it is enough to buy a piece of land and become a farmer.

Chapter 717 Chapter 704 Meeting

　　 "This is the core of the seal I got in an ancient seal, because the thing that was sealed blew itself up, so this thing belongs to me now. Do you know what this is? Is it a real sapphire?"

　　 said, he handed the gem to Miss Stuart. The latter took it and looked at it for a long time before handing it to his math teacher.

　　 "From the point of view of texture, it should be sapphire. If you want further identification, the royal jeweler can help. Miss Sandra is absolutely trustworthy."

　　 His Royal Highness the Three Queens suggested.

　　 "I can't be sure whether this is a pure gemstone, Jenkins, if you want to know its composition, it is really necessary to find a professional jeweler to appraise it."

　　 said, he handed the gems to Julia. Julia held it at a loss, not knowing where it should be placed.

"Then let Miss Stuart take care of it for the first time. I am not in a hurry for the appraisal results. But you must be careful when looking for someone to appraise. It is best to watch it aside. After all, it used to be the core of a powerful seal, although I I can’t see the spirit now...I mean, although it has become an ordinary thing now, we don’t know if there is a mechanism to trigger it again."

"no problem."

　　 Her Royal Highness replied with a smile.

　　 Everyone present can see her love for the gem, after all, she is still a 16-year-old girl, which is understandable. When she reached the age of Alexia, she should become more stable.

　　 Speaking of which, Jenkins doesn’t know Alexia’s age either.

　　 "I think you are thinking about something rude."

　　 The short lady saw his thoughts as if she could read her mind. Seeing him with a look of surprise, she added:

　　 "I once said, Jenkins, if all the people in the world are as easy to understand as you, then life will be easier."

　　 Talking about Alexia’s whereabouts this week, she told the three of them that she went to the barren plains farther north of Roen City and visited some aboriginal people living on the ice field.
