Father Ryan guessed the identity of the visitor after seeing the guard commander. Although he was not welcome, he was no longer anxious.
Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that Father John was able to maintain the Notre Dame Welfare Home for ten years.
It’s not about how tenacious or capable he is.
It was the secret funding from today's visitors that allowed the monastery to survive until Father John's death.
However, after he took over last year, he decisively refused this kind of help.
For this reason, I had a big quarrel with the visiting man and broke up unhappy.
Unexpectedly, times have changed.
A year later, the other party actually came again.
Father Ryan picked up the expensive cloak, gently patted away the dust, and hung it carefully in his arm holding the Bible.
This is high-end goods worth fifty gold coins, and Knock can't afford it. It comes from Father John's inheritance. (Note ①)
Looking at the brightly lit church, thinking that the visiting guests were at the church, Nok did not go to the church, but went to the dormitory in the backyard.
After discovering that the little ones were all sleeping peacefully, he walked to the single dormitory building next door to the group dormitory with a gloomy face.
The single dormitory building originally belonged to Father John, and the group dormitories were once the dormitories of the church clergy.
Now, it has naturally become a dormitory for several orphans in the monastery.
Who told him that there is only one clergyman in the entire church, Nok Lane?
Just before his death, Father John used his privileges to "entrust" his position to Nock Lane.
Although this kind of trust was legal in the previous church.
But now, it’s still unclear whether the Holy Church recognizes it or not.
At least, the regional bishops in England did not approve of it.
Because that is the bishop of the Natural Deism!
In the entire Lion Heart Kingdom, apart from the church in front of you, there is no other church that belongs to the Holy Church!
Of course, Nok knew none of this.
If he knew, he would give up even if it was Father John's last wish.
Standing in front of the door of the single dormitory building, Nok stopped.
Nok moved here since he needed to hunt dark creatures to obtain materials and exchange them for money in the underground exchange.
If I remember correctly, he locked the door when he went out.
But now the door lock has been unlocked. It seems that an uninvited guest has entered without permission.
Nok looked up at the dark second floor, where Father John's study was.
Judging from the last encounter that ended on bad terms, that was the only place that visitors could reasonably see.
Could it be possible that she could still go to Nok's messy kennel?
Five minutes later, Knock was slapped in the face.
In the tidy study room where 46 volumes of manuscripts of the Bible were placed, the old woman was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, in Nok's room, he saw an old woman sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her bedding with disgusting eyes!
"Why are you here! Didn't I tell you that you are not welcome here! We don't need your alms from above!"
Nok was angry.
However, the gray-haired woman was not angry, but smiled lightly: "Why can't I be here? There is no place in England that I can't go to."
Nok stared at the old woman in confusion, and roared as if to vent his anger: "You should be at the banquet! That's where you nobles should be!"
The old woman looked at the angry Nok with a strange expression, and said in surprise: "Do you think that people of my age still need to go to banquets to show off their hormones? Your idea is so rude!"
Well!
Nok was speechless.
He forgot about it.
Although this old woman still looks charming, she is old enough to be a grandmother in ordinary people's homes.
Go to the banquet to compete with those young ladies? Rob the old man? Don't be ridiculous, old British men also like young and beautiful big waves.
After figuring this out, Nok no longer dwelled on the issue.
He pulled up the only chair in the room, sat down facing the old woman without etiquette, and crossed his legs.
A series of actions made the old woman look unhappy.
"Young sir, don't be so rude. Also, sit upright. It's very rude of you. Didn't Father John teach you etiquette?"
The old woman's arrogance made Nok very unhappy.
He unbuttoned his dress, revealing his charming collarbone, and said in a rogue tone: "Oh, noble lady, if you are here to teach me, then please come back. I don't have time to listen to irrelevant people. tirade.”
Nok paused, ignored the ugly old woman, and continued, "Of course, if you fart, let it go! Otherwise, I'm going to sleep.
Although I am an impolite young man, as a respected priest, I still care about my reputation. It was rumored that I spent the night in the same room with an old woman late at night. That would ruin my reputation! "
"Bang!" The old woman slapped the bed board.
She was trembling with anger. She pointed at Nok with trembling fingers and cursed: "Shut up! You are talking nonsense, vulgar and shameless! There is no etiquette at all. You look like a scoundrel, and you look worse than those untouchables in the sewers." Disgusting!"
Faced with the old woman's accusation, Nok was also angry.
He stood up and kicked the chair in front of the bed, frightening the old woman to step back.
"Yes! Young Master, I am a scoundrel! I am an orphan who grew up in a monastery, and I am just a gangster who hangs out in the market. Even if I am now known as a priest, I am still a gangster priest.
People like me are not willing to deal with noble nobles like you. Therefore, noble lady, please lift your noble feet and leave my humble home! "
Nok's attitude completely angered the old woman.
"Okay! This is what you said! Don't regret it!"
Nok slapped the table next to him fiercely and responded resolutely: "Pigmon regrets it! Go slowly, don't send me away!"
The old woman was so angry that she pushed down the chair that was blocking the way. Not to be outdone, she held her head high and walked gracefully like a proud peacock. Under Nok's glare, she opened the door and walked out.
Do, do, do.
A series of deliberate heels stomping downstairs sounded, forcing Nok to open the door and walk out.
"etc!"
The old woman stood downstairs and turned proudly to look at the young man upstairs.
"Why, you changed your mind and want to invite me back?"
Nok sneered with a crooked mouth: "Please? Stop being so sentimental! Before you leave, ask your bastard men to lift the sleeping spell. Don't delay us from getting up early tomorrow to pray!"
Also, don't forget to close the door for me and straighten the divine pattern on the door. If you let dark creatures break in, don't blame me for finding your home to make you look good! "
"you!"
The old woman didn't expect that Nok would stop her for such a trivial matter, and an unknown fire ignited in her heart.
"I won't! I'll take people back right now. Let those little devils sleep to death forever! It's better to have some gargoyles, and the little devils will eat them all! They are all a bunch of damned and filthy untouchables!"
Nok narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her, and said coldly: "You try it. I can guarantee that if you dare to leave like this, tomorrow the whole of England will know that a noble lady went out late at night and was attacked by dark creatures. The entire team No one survived.”
Faced with Nok's threat, the old woman's face turned pale with anger.
She was trembling and pointed at Nok: "You are so loud. Do you think my guards are all mud-legged people who can only swing sticks at scarecrows?"
Nok smiled disdainfully: "In my eyes, there is no difference between them."
"You are arrogant!"
The old woman didn't quite believe that her guard would be so unbearable, but considering the relationship between Nok and herself, she still didn't want to make the relationship too tense.
Nok is young and energetic, but she has been years past the age of impulsiveness.
If it weren't for the relationship between the two of them, she wouldn't be bothered to talk to him if it were a stranger. Kill the counting ball directly!
She ignored Nok again and left angrily, striding toward the front yard.
Henry looked at the black figure following him like a shadow, tilted his mouth, touched the weapon hidden under his dress, and pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Tch, old man. If you dared to attack me just now, I will give you a peanut to meet Satan!"
"Oh! Merciful Lord,
Please forgive me for my unnecessary anger,
I confess to you,
May your light always envelope me.
Amen! "
The young priest clasped his hands together, then tapped his left and right shoulders with his right hand, then tapped his eyebrows and the middle of his chest, and prayed seriously.
After praying, he went back to his room, took off the cloth bag from his waist and threw it on the table.
Then he climbed onto the roof from the window and stood on the roof, watching every move in the front yard.
The old woman had already boarded the carriage with the help of the guards.
The leader of the guards sat on the driver of the carriage, drove the carriage himself, slowly walked out of the gate, and stopped at the door.
From the shadows of the front yard, guards holding horses walked out one by one, got on their horses one by one, chased out the door, and guarded the carriage.
The two guards at the front and back of the carriage each lit a torch and prepared to open the way.
However, the convoy did not move.
Until a few minutes later, a dark figure came out of the dormitory next to Nok.
Under Nok's gaze, the black shadow crossed the open space in the backyard and came to a stop in front of the church in the front yard.
Looking at the dilapidated church in front of him, the black shadow raised his hand, as if he wanted to do something to the church.
Nok snorted directly.
The sound was not loud, but in the dark night, it was enough for the shadow to notice.
The black shadow turned and glanced at Nok on the roof. A sarcastic smile appeared on his mouth hidden under the hood, and he turned and walked towards the door.
The black shadow ignored the guards guarding the carriage, opened the door of the carriage, boarded the carriage, and sat in.
After the black shadow entered the carriage, the carriage started slowly under the control of the leader of the guards.
The knight holding the torch quickly galloped forward and was responsible for clearing the way fifty yards ahead.
The other guards maintained the same speed as the carriage, guarding the carriage.
The group of people disappeared into the thick foggy night.
"Hmph! It's different to have a noble status. Are these well-trained knights? Sure enough, they are not ordinary people. If I do it, I will at least have to put in some effort to finish them off."
"Although it is old-fashioned, it is not completely without merit!"
"But what is the identity of that shadow-like guy? It seems to be protecting her, but in my opinion, it looks more like he is spying on her."
"No, this is none of my business! Lock the door and go to bed early! I knew these bastards were unreliable. Did she predict that I wouldn't go to war over such a thing? Or did she think there was nothing I could do against her bodyguards? "
Not to mention that the young priest over there locked the door and slept.
In the carriage running on the road, a conversation about Nok was going on.
"How? He still doesn't agree?"
The man in black asked in a hoarse voice.
The old woman's anger had long gone, and she replied calmly: "Didn't you hear me? He is just a scoundrel, a little scoundrel who doesn't get in. I didn't even say a word, and he drove me away."
The man in black smiled nonchalantly and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't make a conclusion so early. If he knew that there was a huge wealth waiting for him to inherit, he might not do such a unnecessary thing. persist in.
How much temptation can an orphan who grew up in a monastery endure? If he knew his identity, he might just put on the wings of a gryphon and fly to the door. "
The old woman retorted disapprovingly: "I don't agree. I think this is a waste of time. He is vulgar, short-sighted, ill-tempered, and ignorant. There is nothing suitable for him to be an heir."
And John said that what Nok hated most was his relatives who abandoned him. If he knew about the relationship between me and him, not only would he not be as you think, but he would be even more resistant. "
The man in black laughed evilly and said proudly: "You don't have to worry about this. His funds will be exhausted soon. Moreover, if we want to destroy the monastery, we don't need to start with him.
Those lowly brats were easier to deal with than him. I already have a plan. After a few days, this last holy church will definitely disappear from England!
Just wait and see, my Queen. "
It turns out that the old woman is actually the current queen of the Lionheart Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth!
However, when Her Majesty the Queen heard what the man in black said, her face suddenly turned ugly.
She thought to herself: "This damn guy actually plotted against Nok behind my back!"
However, the queen did not turn against the man in black.
Because the man in black was from the Natural God Sect, nominally assisting and protecting her, but secretly monitoring her.
The abominable Natural Gods had taken risks to support them to replace the Holy Church. Unexpectedly, after the success, they would collude with the nobles of the kingdom in an attempt to evade the royal family, make her "abdicate the throne in favor of others", and create a puppet king to control it.
Unfortunately, the man in black made the wrong calculation.
The man in black thought she hadn't found out through investigation that Nok was a professional?
Wrong, not only does she know, she also knows much better than the man in black!
Everyone thought that Nock was a priest who pretended to be a priest to protect the monastery after John's death. He was just a child trying to protect himself.
But who knew that this child in their eyes was a professional who dared to wander in the dark and hunt monsters.
Nok was not only able to hunt the dark beasts of England, but he also hunted a demon from hell at the age of thirteen!
Otherwise, why would she, the queen, act with the man in black while secretly trying to repair her relationship with the young priest?
Because the man in black knew nothing about the power of the young priest!
