In the end, Knock was still worried about Sherlock and personally sent him back to Holmes Manor.
Looking at the Holmes Manor, which occupies an area no less than that of Our Lady's Abbey, Nock finally understood why a businessman like Ford Holmes, who seemed so philistine, could be so generous.
Nok regretted accepting Shylock's commission for twelve gold coins and twenty silver coins.
He shouldn't be soft-hearted just because the other person is a child.
Although, his original intention was to make Sherlock feel at ease before offering paid services.
After all, free things are the least valuable.
Knock believed that if he said he would investigate the case for Sherlock for free, the other party would suspect that he was perfunctory.
After watching Sherlock walk into the manor and disappear into the garden accompanied by the butler, Knock turned around and left with peace of mind, going home to cook!
Using the "windfall" he earned today to buy a batch of ingredients, Nok returned to the monastery before dusk.
The children have all returned and, under the leadership of Lilian, are preparing dinner.
"Little guys, extra food tonight!"
Nok walked into the backyard holding the ingredients and announced loudly.
"Great!"
"Wow! There's white bread!"
"Brother Nok, let me get it for you!"
"Avril, be careful, don't carry something so heavy! You can't lift it!"
The yard is filled with the sounds of little ones playing, lively and warm.
Under the "suppression" of "eldest sister" Lilian, the little guys settled down again and continued to work on their division of labor and cooperation.
after an hour.
At the dinner table after dinner, Nok suddenly said to Lillian who was clearing away the dishes: "Lillian, I am going to go out for a few days, and I will leave the house to you for the next few days.
There are emergency household items left in the drawer in my room for you. If you have any difficulties, remember to wait for me to come back and solve them. Don't force yourself. "
Nok's words caused Lilian to pause while she was cleaning up, but she quickly reacted.
She asked calmly: "Oh, I understand. How many days will it take?"
Nok said calmly: "As fast as one day, as slowly as three days."
Vivian looked sideways at Nok: "Then I'll prepare your luggage."
Nok waved his hand: "Just prepare a water bag and some dry food for me. I will prepare other things myself."
Lilian asked again: "When will we set off?"
Knock replied: "Tonight."
"oh!"
The restaurant suddenly became quiet, and neither of them spoke anymore. The only sound left was the sound of Lily An's absent-minded clearing of the dishes.
Nok knew that Lilian was unhappy, but he didn't explain much, but got up and went back to the room to pack his luggage.
Lilian looked at Nok's leaving figure, her face full of worry.
This was the case with John, his adoptive father. He suddenly said he would go out for a few days, and came back with serious injuries a few days later. From then on, he could not afford to be sick until he finally died in the hospital bed.
But she knew she couldn't stop Nok.
For her and the other children, Nok has been taking risks this year.
However, due to her physical condition, she could not help Nok share the pressure. She could only try her best to take care of her younger brothers and sisters and not let Nok worry.
Putting the cutlery into the kitchen sink, Lillian turned around and started preparing the water and food needed for Nok's trip.
Although Nok said it could be done in one day at the earliest, Lilian still prepared for three days.
I'm afraid I'll be hungry by then.
Nok returned to the bedroom, took out his trump card from the drawer and stuck it in his waist.
Putting on a dark red dress and looking in the mirror, a young gentleman appeared in the mirror.
Except for his striking silver hair and golden eyes, Nok is not much different from an ordinary gentleman.
Nok thought for a while, then picked up a money bag, put a gold coin and fifty silver coins in it, and put the money bag into his arms.
Unfortunately, Lillian had already sewn the cloak and put it away. Nok lacked a cloak that could hide his face.
But considering that he was playing the role of a businessman for an "undercover visit" this time, it was not appropriate to wear a cloak.
After waiting in the room for the children to fall asleep, Nok quietly came downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the stairs, Nok saw Lilian standing in the yard under the night, holding a bundle.
The night dew had already wet Lillian's crimson hair. It seemed that she had been standing in the yard for a while.
Nok stepped forward, raised his hand to wipe her wet hair, and blamed her a little angrily: "Why are you standing in the yard? I don't know how humid it is in autumn nights! If you fall ill, who will take care of you?" you!"
"I'm sorry." Lilian apologized guiltily.
In fact, she just wanted to make herself sick, so that maybe Nok would not travel far away.
It was a selfish idea, but she did it.
"cure!"
"shelter!"
"Resistance strengthening!"
Nok did not continue to blame Lilian, but raised his hand and threw three magic spells at Lilian.
After throwing away the magic, Nok snatched the baggage from Lilian's hand and gave the order first without giving her a chance to speak.
"Now, go take a shower, dry your hair, and then go back to your room and sleep!"
After saying that, Nok walked quickly towards the backyard wall without looking back, then jumped over the wall and disappeared into the night.
Lilian blamed herself and looked at Nok who disappeared, feeling uneasy.
Although Nok was known as a priest, Lilian knew that her brother's magical skills did not reach the level of a fifth-level professional "priest" stipulated by the church.
His current divine power is at most the level of a full-time professional, a fourth-level "priest".
His divine power can only support him to perform some low-level divine spells.
Among the three magic spells that Nok cast just now, two of them are intermediate magic spells.
With Nok's current divine power reserve, even if the two intermediate divine spells did not drain him of his divine power, it would have bottomed out.
Although Lilian is not a professional, she is practicing with the goal of becoming a nun, so she can naturally see that Nok is spending a lot of money.
Nok dragged his empty body and set off, why didn't she worry!
You know, professionals across the continent are divided into levels one to nine.
Professionals at levels one to three are called low-level professionals, and they are generally cannon fodder in various professional offices.
Professionals at levels four to six are called mid-level professionals and are the backbone of various professional institutions.
Professionals at levels seven to nine are called senior professionals. They are ace-level figures in various professional organizations. Each of them is a being who can conquer a city.
There is also a group of special beings among the ninth-level professions. They have reached the ultimate in a certain field and become the pinnacle of the continent.
In order to distinguish between peak experts and ordinary ninth-level professional experts, peak experts are also called priests.
Each priest has his own representative "title".
For example, the current pope of the Holy Church is a priest with a title, but because of his special status, his title is also very special - Holy Emperor of Light.
Nok happened to be a professional who had just entered level four.
He is just a newcomer who has just got rid of his identity as a weakling and stepped onto the path of being strong.
Moreover, there is no power protection behind Nok as a professional.
According to the division of the Holy Church, clergy practitioners who have not become professionals are all called monks.
Clergy professionals of the first to third levels are novices, men are called novice priests, and women are called novice nuns.
Only those who have reached the fourth level of the clergy profession will be given the title of "priest" by the church. The local priest or nun will preside over the ceremony and grant the profession the status of "priest".
For clergy who have reached the fifth level, the regional bishop will preside over the "charism" ceremony, officially conferring the status of "priest" on the professional.
Of course, there are also situations like Knock, where the area is remote and the talents are withering. The previous priest will appoint the next successor to take over the priest's position before his death.
But in this case, you still need to report to the regional bishop in the end, and then get the approval of the regional bishop and preside over the "charism" before you can become a "priest" recorded in the church and legitimate.
Nock is now a Kuroto priest with "a dishonorable reputation and a dishonest speech".
Therefore, even if Nok is killed by another professional, the church may not avenge him after knowing about it.
Who makes Knock a black house in church records.
Unless Knock can find a cleric above the level of bishop in the church area and obtain their approval, he will have a chance to be recorded.
Priests above the sixth level are the mainstay of the Holy Church, and each one will be recorded.
Those with seniority and good political performance will hold important positions in the church.
Other powerful men, even if they do not have real power, will have honorary titles and patrol the church's "territory" for the church.
I won’t describe them one by one here.
The vocational divisions of other vocational institutions or denominations on the mainland are similar to those of the church.
Even the offices of many denominations are established with reference to the offices of the Holy Church.
Therefore, it is extremely dangerous for a rookie like Nok, who has a fifth-level job but only has a fourth-level strength, to force his way out after his divine power has been exhausted.
Fortunately, as the royal city of the Lion Heart Kingdom, the overall order in England City is still very good.
[Ripper] Except for this matter.
This is a test given by the top leaders of the Lionheart Kingdom to the new police department.
If the police department can't solve this case, then there's no need for them to exist.
It is precisely because of the indulgence of the top leaders of the Lionheart Kingdom that [The Ripper] has the opportunity to commit crimes repeatedly.
Otherwise, if the kingdom sends a team of royal knights, or even one of the legendary dragon knights, [Ripper] will be able to make him hate himself on the spot!
After all, the Lion Heart Kingdom has the confidence to drive one of the most powerful forces on the continent out of its own territory.
Although the Natural Sect is taking the lead, she has no confidence, and Queen Elizabeth does not dare to turn against the Holy Church that has stood on the mainland for more than a thousand years.
In this way, without knowing that he had been involved in a conspiracy contest, Knock took advantage of the night, climbed over the city wall of England, and quietly headed west.
It was still the day of the waning moon, and there was no moonlight in the first half of the night. Nok could only rely on the starlight scattered on the ground to travel.
As for the lighting technique, he can no longer gather any divine power in his body.
Without the recognition of "divine grace", Nok is just a "trader" who relies on faith in exchange for divine power.
Rely on daily prayer to exchange "strength" with the Holy Lord.
Only those servants who are free and recognized can truly obtain the power bestowed by the Holy Lord and obtain a steady stream of divine power.
The stronger the belief, the greater the divine power.
But Knock's belief was not firm.
If he hadn't grown up in a monastery, or he would have been a thief or businessman who believed in the God of Wealth!
