On the third morning after Knock left the monastery, he returned to the monastery dusty.
The reason why he delayed his return until this day was because it took him almost two days to save the resentful souls of the villagers of "Kred" to the Kingdom of God.
For this reason, Nok was chased by the villagers' ghosts all the way on the second night. He fled until he was a few miles away from "Kred", and then he was chased by the villagers' ghosts.
Taking advantage of the scorching sun the next day, Nok finally freed all the resentful spirits.
He also spent time pulling out some incompletely burned corpses from the ruins of the village, dug a large pit, and buried them.
Finally, Knock returned to the British city with the piece of wood with the remains of the Holmes family emblem.
The children in the monastery were naturally very happy about Nok's return.
Lillian, who was originally listless, took the naughty boys to the street to buy the ingredients needed for the evening to celebrate Nok's safe return.
The two girls, Ashley and Avril, were left guarding Nok who had gone to bed and was fast asleep.
As expected by Lilian, Nok slept until the afternoon and didn't even get up for lunch.
As a result, when Nok opened his eyes, he saw five small heads surrounding him.
"Wake up, wake up. Brother Nok wakes up!"
Ashley, who was the first to notice that Nok opened his eyes, shouted excitedly and shared her discovery with her companions.
Clowell felt a little regretful because he was competing with Hawks just now to see who could blink first and not being the first to notice that Nok was awake.
He threw himself on Nok and asked with concern: "Brother Nok, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
Knock was almost knocked out by Hawks's sudden attack, and he slapped Crowell on the back of the head angrily.
"Bang!" Crowell quickly hugged the painful head and looked at Nok who made the move incomprehensively.
Nok threatened him: "If you don't press me, nothing will happen to me. Now, that's not necessarily the case."
"Did you hear that, Crowell, get up quickly, you crushed Brother Nok!"
Avril pushed Crowell dissatisfied, and Hawks quickly reached out to pull Crowell up.
Only Hewel looked thoughtfully at Nok, who was smiling but not smiling, and then showed a look of surprise.
Ignoring Colowell who was hurriedly climbing off him.
Nok looked at Ashley and asked, "Why are you all in my room, where is Lilian?"
Before Ashley could answer, Crowell said first, "The eldest sister is entertaining that annoying guy in the front yard. We are worried about Brother Nok, so we are here to take care of you."
From a simple sentence, Nok heard a lot of information from it.
First of all, there was a guest in the front yard, and he came frequently these days, and Lillian was entertaining him.
Second, Colowell didn't like the guy. There was even a conflict between the two.
Finally, the person coming is certainly not old. Otherwise, Colowell would not have had this attitude.
Nok looked at Hawks who was standing aside and asked, "Hawkes, tell me, what's going on? Has anyone caused trouble at home during my absence?"
As the son of a businessman, Hawkes grew up with an eye for music. Knowing that Nock wanted to answer his questions objectively, instead of speaking with his own emotions and opinions like Crowell.
Hawkes summarized what he wanted to say, and then slowly explained to Nok.
He said clearly: "Brother Nok, the morning after you went out, a noble young man who called himself the Holmes family came to visit you. But since you were not at home, it was Sister Lillian who received him. I learned that you Not at home, he left very quickly at that time.”
Hawks glanced at Crowell inadvertently, and then said: "But the next morning, at dawn, the aristocratic young master came again.
This time, he stayed all morning, and Sister Lillian had to put down her work and receive him all morning. "
"Until Crowell couldn't stand it anymore and drove the young master away on the grounds that Sister Lillian needed to prepare lunch."
At this point, Hawks carefully observed Nok's reaction and found that Nok was not angry before he boldly continued.
"Unexpectedly, when we had just had lunch and were about to finish the work we delayed in the morning, the noble young master came again."
"Clowell was so angry that he immediately turned against him and kicked him out. He also had a few quarrels with the noble young master."
Nok glanced at Crowell in surprise, but saw him turn his face to the side unconvinced.
It seems that the real situation is not as understated as Hawks said.
Noak motioned for Hawks to continue.
Hawks hesitated for a moment, considered his words, and then said: "Sister Lillian who arrived in a hurry stopped the quarrel between the two and gave a simple explanation. The noble young master knew that we were delayed because of his arrival. After finishing the job, I was given a gold coin as compensation."
Colowell on the side could no longer suppress his anger and interrupted Hawks loudly.
"Humph! Is that compensation! That's charity! That's discrimination! He is using money to insult us!"
Nok raised his hand with a headache and pointed at Crowell, scolding: "Shut up! If you have a temper, don't show it to Hawks! What I need to know now is the truth!"
When Crowell saw Nok being angry, he shut up angrily and ran away to sulk alone.
When Nok saw this, he said to Hawkes: "You continue."
Hawks thought for a while and simply told the rest of the story.
"Clowell felt that the noble young master was insulting us and wanted to attack him, but Sister Lillian stopped him and punished him.
Sister Lillian accepted the compensation from the noble young master and received him for another afternoon. It wasn't until dinner time that the noble young master left in disappointment. "
"We are all very happy that you came back this morning. Sister Lillian is also planning to cook a big dinner to celebrate in the evening. She took a few of us boys shopping. I left Ashley and Avril to watch over you, brother."
"But when we came back from shopping, we saw that aristocratic young man who came uninvited again, and he even walked into the backyard without permission."
"If it weren't for the obstruction of Ashley and Avril, he would have run into the building where his brother lives."
"Sister Lillian was very angry and drove him to the front yard rudely. But sister Lillian said that the man wanted to come to see you, brother.
Brother, if you're not at home, it's okay for her to make the decision. But my brother is back, and Sister Lilian can't make the decision for you, so she takes him to the front yard. "
"But Sister Lilian did not tell the noble young master about my brother's return. Instead, we asked us to guard you and tell you the matter when you wake up, so that you can make up your own mind."
"Sister Lilian said that if you want to see that person, go to the front yard to meet him. If you don't want to see that person, just let Ashley find an excuse to go to the front yard to find her. She will send that person away."
After listening to Hawks' description, Noak finally understood what happened.
No need to guess, this annoying aristocratic young man must be the boy from Sherlock Holmes.
However, Nok did not expect that the other party would come to visit him again the day after entrusting him.
What does he mean?
Don't believe in yourself?
He did not go to investigate Ford's disappearance privately, but came to the monastery frequently.
There's something wrong with even breaking into a backyard without permission.
When Nok thought of this, a ridiculous idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Oh! No! Did I fall under the wisdom halo of the Pygmon Shaman? I didn't expect this!"
Nok suddenly understood.
Any commission is an excuse!
That Sherlock cheated on Nok!
He didn't come to Knock for help at all!
Instead, he suspected that Nok was related to Ford's disappearance and came to investigate Nok!
The so-called commission is just a trick to paralyze Nok and drive him away!
All he wants is to sneak into the monastery to investigate and see if he can find any clues from Nok's residence!
But he didn't expect that the children in the monastery would be so sensible.
When Nok was not at home, instead of going out to play, he worked at home.
Even every time he came, Lilian would politely stay by his side to receive him.
From this point of view, the quarrel between Colowell and him was also Shylock's calculation.
After all, the Sherlock Nok had come into contact with was a polite and aristocratic young man.
To make Crowell hate him and think that Sherlock is insulting him, Sherlock must have used extreme methods.
After all, Crowell was not someone who would get angry just because someone gave him money.
When Father John died and Knock went into hiding for a few months, Crowell went begging alone on the street without telling Lillian so that the children in the convent could survive.
In order to beg for a few copper coins, Colowell not only knelt down, but was also spat on, punched and kicked.
He could endure all this, but how could he feel humiliated when he faced a huge compensation of one gold coin?
Sherlock must have provoked Crowell while others were not paying attention.
Nok had no doubt that Sherlock could do it.
How could an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, who could deceive Nokk by adapting to circumstances, fail to find Clowell's weakness?
Maybe people saw the weaknesses of a few people on the first day and specifically chose Colowell's move to break through the eloquence.
The purpose is to provoke conflicts among the children in the monastery.
It has to be said that Sherlock picked the right target.
As the oldest boy among the children, it was generally impossible for Crowell to be convinced by Lillian, a girl.
If Shylock is allowed to continue, with Crowell's temper, he may not fall out with Lillian.
However, Sherlock did not expect that Nok would come back so soon.
It was one day ahead of the three days that Nok said.
Therefore, his plan was destined to fail.
Crowell may not take Lillian seriously, but he does not dare to challenge Nok's majesty.
Although Crowell calls Lillian "big sister," Nok is his boss.
"Okay, Crowell, I understand what's going on. You fool, you didn't even know you were being plotted against. Why, you still dare to be angry with Lillian. Have you lost your wings and forgotten what I said? "
Crowell shook his head quickly: "No, no. I didn't!"
"It's fine if you don't! Remember, if you want to stay, you have to respect Lilian just like you respect me.
Lillian is Father John's adopted daughter. The reason why all of us can still live here is because of Father John's sacrifice.
If you don't know how to be grateful, then leave here and fend for yourself. In this case, I don’t want to repeat it a second time! "
