Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 asked Dolores blushing before leaving, her sister looking at Jenkins expectantly. Jenkins looked at Alexia with some suspicion, and when he saw the latter nodding insignificantly, he gave an answer that he could go.

　　 Nolan is now busy in the morning. Except for idlers like Jenkins, most people living in this city have already breathed the haze and started working under the dark sky.

　　 Compared with the coldness of Luen, Nolan in April is already a standard spring. It is a pity that there is no habit of planting street trees in Nolan City, otherwise this can be better reflected.

　　 Jenkins put on his black robe, stood under the professor's apartment, looked up at the green creeper climbing on the outer wall, and sighed how fast time passed.

　　 Most of the apartments on this street were rented apartments that Nolan First College of Higher Education provided for teachers at low prices more than ten years ago. Later, the property rights have been changed several times, and most of the houses have nothing to do with the teachers of the college.

　　 And Professor Burns bought the apartment early with the full amount. He was quite wise to do so, because since he bought it, the house price on the nearby street has increased by at least three times.

　　 "Jan...James? Oh, come on, you came really early."

　　 After knocking on the door, the professor quickly opened the door. Because he agreed to wear clothes and a hat when he reappeared, the professor recognized Jenkins. He just looked at the chocolate that Jenkins was holding in a puzzled way, and didn't understand how this cat would be here too.

　　 This four-story apartment with a loft belongs to the professor, and he lives alone in the empty house. Unlike the old man whose marital status is unknown, the professor has been married and had children a long time ago, but his wife died early, and the children have decent jobs in other places, so the professor's life is also considered leisurely.

　　 "Have you breakfast, do you want some toast? I just bought a toaster recently, except that it can't connect to the steam pipe and can only have a small steam capsule outside. It has no other disadvantages."

Professor 　　 was talking about the brass-colored machine he put on the kitchen table. Because it was a new purchase, the metal was very clean, and it reflected a soft halo under the gas lamp.

　　 "I have eaten and I am full."

　　 Jenkins politely refused.

　　 "How is the food in the Ruen Church? A few years ago, I took the students to do rescue excavations near Ruen. We all thought the food there was very greasy."

　　 "I don't live in a church, I live in... a friend's house."

　　 After thinking about it, I still didn't say the identity of Dolores, because if I explained it, they wouldn't have to do anything else this morning.

　　 "Female friends?"

Professor 　　 asked suddenly, seeing Jenkins blush immediately, and the old man's face also showed an ambiguous smile.

　　 After sitting down in the living room, I started to talk about what happened last night. Because of the identity of the scribe, the professor and the old librarian immediately attracted the attention of the church when they arrived at Carfax Field.

　　 The church civilians in the police station reported the situation, and then a team of scribes followed the professor to the backyard of the Nolan Public Library where the incident occurred to check the situation.

　　Because there have been too many catastrophic things in the city in the past six months, the church has been nothing but a warrior. As the team set off, astrologers from [Starry Sky and Balanced Church] were temporarily invited. Based on the astrology, she guessed the whereabouts of the escaped mysterious man, and then raided the night watchman team overnight. In the early morning, she captured three illegal benefactors in one fell swoop, destroyed their extraordinary strongholds, and seized...

　　 "Wait, you don't need to tell me the details of these formulas. You mean, everything was solved last night?"

　　 Jenkins asked in surprise while holding a tea cup.

　　 "Of course, this matter is just mortals participating in mortal planning, and it has nothing to do with tricks or evil gods. What trouble can it cause?"

Professor 　　 shrugged, and then added:

"It's just that based on the correspondence searched, the three people belonged to an organization called [Tree House]. I haven't heard of this organization. Is it a sect under a certain evil god? But I've seen one before. Ji’s slate seems to record the organization of the same name, it should be a coincidence."

"tree house?"

　　 Jenkins was even more surprised.

　　 "Do you know this organization?"

Professor 　　 raised his eyebrows.

"IDK."

　　 He shook his head hurriedly. He didn't want the professor to be involved in the struggle of the same organization as this lunatic. Since the church did not tell the professor about the tree house, he had better not say it, otherwise he would definitely be asked about the origin of the information.

　　 As for the stone slab with five ring-shaped depressions, it was identified as an ordinary item. Even if the mysterious tree house organization hires someone to **** it, it is really an ordinary item, the same as Jenkins's eye observation conclusion.

　　 Out of prudence, the church did not jump to conclusions rashly, but let the secret guards identify and distinguish more carefully. In the end, even traces like cat's claw scratches on it were deciphered, but the slate was really just a slate.

"Those nicks are indeed words. Two words are spelled out. The guardian doesn’t know whether to understand from left to right, or from right to left, but translated, they mean [verse] and [disaster] respectively. ."

Professor 　　 said, and then told Jenkins that the stone slab was finally completely decomposed and restored by the benefactor who had the ability to manipulate the stone, confirming that it was really a stone. Now it is placed behind the [Vientiane Gate]. According to the rules of the Church of the Sage, all items that may be numbered but unidentifiable will be stored for a long period of time to ensure the accuracy of the identification.

"This is really a disaster. Poor old Sev was really frightened. After he signed the confidentiality agreement last night, he immediately packed up and prepared to leave Nolan. He has already taken the train this morning. Handling it to me."

　　 After ordinary people witnessed Transcendence, they signed a confidentiality agreement stipulating that they could not leave the diocese for a period of time. However, this time the situation is quite special, and the professor is the guarantor, only to change the "activity area" of the elderly Sever to the city on the east coast of the mainland, he should be happy that there is also a church of the sage, otherwise the procedures will be more complicated.

　　 "So the benefactors of the mysterious organization, did you say why they were looking for that slab?"

　　 Jenkins continued to ask.

"No, they only received orders from their superiors. We can confirm this from the letters we found. As for the superiors of the three people, it seems that they are not in Nolan. According to them, the one named [Tree House] The organization suffered heavy losses in the city last year. The current focus is on the Kingdom of Hampawo and the Kingdom of Chesland. For safety, only three of them are lurking in the local area, and they have been maintaining single-line contact with their superiors...now illegal Is the organization so cautious?"

Professor 　　 mumbled suspiciously, without seeing the complicated expression on Jenkins's face.

　　 The slate thing has come to an end here, at least for now. I wrote down the things related to the tree house and bid farewell to the professor. Jenkins did not return to Luen, because the girls had their own affairs during the day. Even if he went back, he had nothing to do and could only face boring documents, so he thought Go to Privet Road to see your family.

　　 Crossing the entire city to the wealthy area east of Nolan, Privet Road is still so peaceful and peaceful. Because today is Thursday, Robert and Serena Williams’ eldest brother is going to work, the youngest child is going to school, and only Mary is at home.

　　 Jenkins was pretending to be an obese woman walking a cat, and Mary was instructing her servant to trim the lawn when she followed the cute chocolate to the outside of the house. Spring is here, the grass in the yard begins to grow wildly, and in the memory of the original owner, Mary will plant new flowers in the yard every spring, which is a good sign for the beginning of the new year.

Chapter 1290 Chapter 1269 The Past of William (Three Brothers)

　　 It is enough to take a look at Privet Road from a distance, and Jenkins plans to visit again after returning from Roen. He continued to pretend to be an obese woman, following behind his walking cat, planning to leave from the intersection in front of him, and then he saw the old man walking towards him.

　　 was only a little short, he opened his mouth to say hello to the old man, but fortunately he reacted in time. The moment the two passed by, Jenkins felt that his heart was about to jump out, and after missing him, he was extremely worried that the father behind him would suddenly call "Jenkins".

　　 But fortunately, it didn't. Now this fat lady's appearance is really hard to make people think of young writers.

　　 Rather than passing by here, Jenkins is more willing to believe that Dad is here to visit Williamt's house. He was very curious about what the old man wanted to say, so he changed his image with the cat again after turning the corner. This time he became a salesman wearing a cheap suit and carrying a suitcase, standing far away under the street light pole and pretending to be Looking at the road, they are actually looking at the two people inside and outside the fence.

　　 It seems that the old man is not here to find Mary, so he can only come to Robert. In order to prevent being discovered by the sensitive old man, Jenkins stood a little far away, so he couldn't hear what they said. It was just that Dad had a few words with Mary. After Mary shook her head, Dad took out a folded paper and gave it to Mary, and then left.

　　 "So what's on that piece of paper?"

　　 Jenkins was extremely curious, but rushed to break into someone else’s house...

　　 "That's not right, it's also my home there. Although I moved out, I still have my room."

　　 Throwing away the psychological baggage, he took a lap in the neighborhood with peace of mind, then turned into the yard from the backyard, and opened the door with the key of the back door hidden in the flower bed and entered the house.

　　 There is no one in the house. The hostess and the servants are in the front yard. The paper was placed on the corner of the dining table when Mary took the gloves.

　　 bends over to prevent people outside the window from seeing him. He squatted and walked sneakily. The cat behind him followed him with small steps, observing Jenkins' ridiculous movements.

　　 "Shh~"

　　 The man suddenly turned his head and said to the cat. The cat looked around before confirming that it was talking to himself, but it made no sound at all.

　　 It took some time to "move" under the corner of the dining table. Maintaining a squatting posture, quickly raised his right hand to touch the edge of the table, and after touching the page, he pulled it down. After opening it, I took a look, and temporarily imprinted it in my mind as if it were a painting, and then quickly appeared in the [Book of Memories].

　　 then raised his hand to put the paper back to its original position, maintained a squatting posture, raised his left foot, and turned around quickly with his right foot as the center of gravity, then turned over sharply toward the kitchen door, and left the room.

　　 A few seconds later, the probe came out again and waved to the cat standing at the corner of the table. Looking at the soft white bread and the chocolate on the stovetop, he followed quickly.

　　 In short, the operation was very smooth, no one saw Jenkins. After he came out, he remembered that he should put a phantom outside in advance, so that he didn't have to run out too hard.

　　 Far away from Privet Road, Jenkins didn't know how many times he changed his image in the alley. Then he found a cafe to sit down and check the specific content on the [Book of Memories].

　　 The handwriting is that of the old man, and the beginning also indicates that the recipient is Robert. The letter is only half a page of content. The beginning is a customary greeting. The second paragraph talks about Jenkins's business trip to Run to work. The last sentence mentions Hathaway and Britney. The third paragraph is slightly longer:

　　 [Regarding that matter, the big men of Berdylan haven't made a decision yet, but the day will not be far away. Robert, I think in the past few months, someone should have been in contact with you more or less, and you will probably understand that that day is coming. I didn't want to disturb the life of your family, but this is not something our generation decides. As for the attitude of the church you care about, His Majesty the Pope personally sent a letter. The original is kept in the church by the bishop. You can pick it up if you have time. But now Williams has four, have you made a decision? 】

　　 "What do you mean? How could my father have contact with the Holy See? What important thing does he have to consider the views of the Holy See? Moreover, the Pope wrote to him himself..."

　　 He suspected for the first time that the matter between himself and Dolores was stabbed to Nolan's relatives. If you think about it in this way, it seems something is wrong.

　　 Jenkins thought about breaking his head, but couldn't figure out what they were talking about. So I saved the contents of the letter paper in the [Book of Memories], and planned to ask Alexia for advice after returning, or to ask Robert in person after returning to Nolan.

　　 Based on what he and the original owner know about his father, Robert is not the kind of person who likes to hide secrets. If you don’t ask, Robert will keep the secret on the grounds of “You didn’t ask me, why did I take the initiative to say it”, but if you really ask, as long as it doesn’t involve a matter of principle, he will usually say it.

　　 He breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and took a sip of coffee just sent by the waiter. He is still not used to the taste of coffee. Even though people like this refreshing drink, Jenkins still prefers boiled water or tea.

　　 It's only ten o'clock now, so far, his affairs in Nolan have been dealt with. Apart from paying attention to Hathaway's "Dice Game", Mr. White Cat's Cousin Finding Revelation next Monday, and Miss Magic's sweater pattern magazine, he basically doesn't need to care about Nolan's side.

　　 "But I still have to come to see Hathaway frequently. I am now in Luen. If I don't come to see her often, she might think I am an unreliable person."

　　 Thinking like this, he patted off the little paw sticking out of the chocolate. Of course he couldn't just order a drink in the cafe, so the cat looked at the little dessert on the table.

　　 "I remember your appetite was so bad last month, how come you want to eat anything like this again recently?"

　　 He asked his cat, and the cat naturally couldn't answer him.

　　 In line with the principle of not wasting, I wanted to go back to Luen to find something to do after drinking this cup of coffee, but frowned halfway through the drink, but noticed that the woman at the table next to him was a bit familiar.

　　 After thinking for a long time, I realized that it was Miss Capet. It was not that Jenkins had amnesia, but that this woman had deliberately pretended to be, and it was difficult to recognize her only by looking at her face. It was her profile that was so familiar to Jenkins, but she forgot where she had seen it no matter how she thought, revealing her identity.

　　 "What a coincidence."

　　 Jenkins muttered in his heart, picked up a knife to cut the delicate little cake on the plate, and then used a fork to put a small piece into his mouth. Listening to the sound of his chewing, the cat swallowed and was almost mad.

　　 "The last time I met, I also promised to go with her to ask Miss Knight about the awakening of the dragon veins, but when I went to Luen, everything was delayed."

　　 The culprit is of course chocolate. Kicked over the claw of the bottle, Jenkins will remember the humiliation when he became a Jenkin Rat for many years.

　　 The woman didn't come to the cafe alone. When Jenkins finished processing the cake and decided whether to give up the coffee, the man who opened the door sat across from Miss Capet.

　　 That person is also an acquaintance, Mr. Greif the Son of [Church of Creation and Machinery]. He dressed equally low-key, even when he sat down, he did not take off his hat.

　　 The voices of the two people talking were very soft, completely covered by the sound of the accordion in the corner of the cafe. Jenkins was holding the magazine and observing them obliquely, only to see that at the end of the conversation, Mr. Greif pushed a metal box to Miss Cape, and then got up and left.

　　 "Strange, I thought Mr. Gref left Nolan a long time ago. Isn't the holy son who is public like this very busy? And he stays in Nolan, won't the local church protest?"

　　 was puzzled, and saw Miss Capet who was back alone again, looking at the metal box in front of her in a daze. Then carefully pressed the box above the box, and after a click, the sound of the gears snapping and rotating quickly came out from the inside of the box. A few seconds later, a small drawer popped up on the side of the metal box, and Miss Capet took out the pendant from the drawer.

　　 It was an irregular metal block, like an untreated industrial part, with mottled rust on the copper color. Jenkins couldn't see what it was. A string tied the thing that looked like metal trash, and Miss Capet lifted it up very seriously, then lowered her head and tied it around her neck.

　　 "Hmm...a bit familiar...eh? This seems to be..."

　　 He has never seen a similar object with the same shape, but he has seen something with similar material, color and volume. Two months ago, he stayed in the Shire for a week in order to explore the cemetery where he had acquired the gods. During this period, there were many episodes, one of the trivial things was seeing the grave of "another Williamt".

　　 The dead old man is actually not related to Nolan’s Williams, he is just an adopted son. But among the relics that the landlord threw to Jenkins, there was a metal pendant that the old man cherished very much before his death. It was something passed down by the real Williams.

　　 Later, when I returned to Nolan, I learned from Robert that there were three similar pendants, which were distributed to the three brothers by the great-grandfather of the three Jenkins brothers, that is, Robert's grandfather. Robert's piece was inherited by the youngest son, and Charles' Williams was the second brother.

As for Robert’s uncle, the oldest of the three brothers, long before the outbreak of the plague thirty years ago, he took his family and left the city where the Williams family used to live, long before Robert fled to Nolan. She broke contact.

　　PS: The first two metal blocks involve chapters 850 and 879.

Chapter 1291 Chapter 1270 Declining Nolan

　　 "But how is it possible? How could the last piece of metal be in the hands of Miss Capet?"

　　 Jenkins watched in surprise as Miss Cape hung the piece of metal on her chest, and some suspected that the coffee she drank had been added to the hallucinogenic ingredients. He was very sure that the piece in Miss Capet's hand had the same origin as the two pieces he owned. He was an apprentice in an antique shop and had quite a thorough observation of the color and texture of the objects.

　　 was puzzled, and the more I looked at the woman's profile, the more I felt that look was so familiar. Soon, Jenkins finally figured out that it was exactly the same as his profile face in the mirror. The sense of familiarity does not come from others, but from oneself.

　　 "Miss Cape...is it my cousin?"

　　 Dad talked about Miss Capet’s life experience. She is an orphan adopted by the [Church of All Things and Nature]. She has lived in the church since she was a child, somewhat similar to Fini’s situation. If the possibility that the metal block pendant was picked up by her from another place is ruled out, then the possibility that she is a relative of the Williams family is very high.

　　 looks similar to the descendants of the second elder brother of the three brothers, and the descendants of the eldest brother have also encountered an accident.

　　 "But how can it happen? Miss Cape..."

　　 He couldn't help holding his forehead, and then suddenly let it go:

　　 "Wait, is she a relative of the Williams family, does it have anything to do with me?"

　　Thinking about it, it doesn’t seem to be true. It doesn’t seem to matter except for writing an extra greeting card at the end of the year. So he turned the pages of the magazine in his hand and pretended to continue reading, thinking in his heart that the booklet left by Miss Brognance probably contains Miss Cape's name.

　　 "This is really interesting. When I come back from Luen, I must tell my family about it, and they will be very happy too."

　　 With such a good mood, he drank all the coffee in the cup in one breath, and was choked at once because the sugar at the bottom was not stirred.

　　 coughed several times, and even the guests behind him suspected that he had spring flu. Jenkins hurriedly apologized to the people around, and then called the waiter to prepare to settle the bill.

　　 Seeing the sun is still early, before returning to Luen, I went to the Nolan Post Office again, wanting to see the wall where the slate "Doomsday Poem" was found. But because of the recent repairs, the wall has been torn down, and Jenkins can't see anything.

　　 He was still curious about the stone slab, so after going into the alley, he constructed an exact same stone slab with [Reading], and wanted to see if he could find some new clues.

　　 It's just that this slate just appeared, and Jenkins felt something was wrong. He stopped and frowned and looked at the stone he was holding with one hand, capturing the slightly different feeling in his heart.

　　 The feeling is very strange. When the slate in his hand was shaped according to the original shape, he had a feeling of "completed manufacturing" in his heart.

Just like the difference between using a paintbrush to paint on the canvas for ten minutes and painting a tree in ten minutes, Jenkins’s feeling of making this slate is not "I made something of unknown meaning", but "I Made a unique thing".

　　 "What is this strange feeling?"

　　 He asked to himself, and then threw the stone upward and smashed it with a punch. Then I continued to walk, and then [read and write] again to produce the exact same slate. Sure enough, after the slate was formed, the wonderful feeling appeared again.

　　 "It's not an illusion."
