Two days have passed since the bad break up with Sherlock Holmes.
The monastery returned to its former peace.
While Lillian was studying nun courses on her own, she once again took up the job of washing people.
However, Lilian increased the reward to thirty copper coins.
Nok asked the reason, and Lillian explained that Sherlock's attitude made her realize that the current situation of the monastery did not allow her to let her freedom go.
Lillian took the lead, and ten-year-old Crowell also took seven-year-old Hawks out to earn money.
The shy Ashley and the young Hywell siblings were left to serve as Lillian's helpers.
His children are so sensible, and it’s not easy for Nok to stop them.
Since the family's nutrition has caught up, the children in the family seem to be rushing to grow taller.
Now everyone has reached the level of their peers.
Crowell and Hawks are also far more mature than their peers because of their past experiences.
Nock was not at all worried about the safety of the two men.
Moreover, the two little guys are very discerning. As long as they don't provoke professionals or nobles, Nok is confident that they can handle any trouble they cause.
Knock is back to its leisurely and boring days.
But for some people, the days of suffering have begun.
At the end of Jordan Avenue in the south of the city, a newly renovated and majestic building stands there, as if monitoring the equally majestic buildings on both sides of the door.
Yes, this building was built in this location, which does have the meaning of surveillance.
Because this building is the new professional institution in the Kingdom - the British Police Station.
Inside were patrol policemen with muskets in their hands and swords at their waists.
The similarly towering buildings on both sides of Jordan Avenue in front of the police station are the strongholds of various professional offices in addition to the Natural God's Cult.
Oh, and there is another stronghold of the Holy Church that is not here.
If the shabby monastery and the shabby church on the boulevard can be regarded as the stronghold of the Holy Church.
A forsaken priest of the Holy Church, and an isolated church. The stronghold of a group of orphans.
Although the Kingdom placed the police station here, it was to tell the British professionals that the Kingdom was watching them.
But the entire British profession did not care about the existence of the police station.
If it hadn't been for the Kingdom's agency, the police station would have been destroyed on that night.
At least, the magicians in the Magic Guild, who are more proud than the nobles, have long been ready to take action. It's just that I haven't found an excuse yet, and I haven't had the chance to make an attack.
The Thieves Guild, Hunters Guild, Bounty Guild, etc., all openly list tasks related to the Police Commissioner on their task bounty boards.
It's just that for the sake of the kingdom, no one took up this task.
Although the newly emerging police station is insignificant, the kingdom's royal knights and the knights and infantry regiments that have transitioned from the military to the musketeers are enough to prevent professionals from provoking the majesty of the royal family.
Not to mention that there is a rumor circulating among the powerful circles: Queen Elizabeth also has a mysterious private army. It was with the cooperation of this mysterious force that the Natural Gods Church was able to force the Holy Church to give up the territory of the Lion Heart Kingdom and cede this place to the Natural Gods Church.
It is precisely with this kind of deterrence that the police department, a new professional institution, can stand firm in the royal city.
As the first commissioner of the police department, Alan Covert should have been high-spirited and then rose to the top, becoming the new rich man of the kingdom.
But the reality is cruel.
The work of the police station was not going smoothly.
The nobles resisted the new profession of patrolman from the bottom of their hearts.
Because of the presence of patrol police, the kingdom promulgated the "Prohibition of Knights Dueling Decree", and private duels will be considered illegal.
However, to resolve conflicts between noble lords, they usually let their knights duel to determine the winner to resolve grievances or distribute benefits.
Only with mortal hatred, lords would lead private armies to launch attacks across territories.
However, for nearly a century, the nobles have been obsessed with the enjoyment of life and death due to the changes of the times.
Few people start lord wars anymore.
Therefore, dueling is the most suitable way for them to resolve their grudges and have fun.
But this method was banned after the police station appeared, so how could they not feel conflicted!
Not only the nobles resisted the police station, but also the civilians.
In the common people's perception, a patrolman with a musket and mediocre martial arts skills is only qualified to help solve the trivial matter of finding cats and dogs.
The real difficulties still need to be solved by professionals in professional offices.
They still have to pay anyway, and they are more willing to pay to the group of people they recognize.
Yes, the police department charges a fee to serve the public.
There is no free bread in the kingdom.
The police department is not the army, only the army is free.
So in this case.
The police department needs to assert its authority.
But all this time, they have never had a chance.
Until the murderer [Ripper] appeared!
But it was this [Ripper] that made Director Alan Covert turn his head with worry.
Originally, he saved a victim and already had a preliminary clue about the "Ripper".
Originally thinking that this was a monster without intelligence, Alan Covert specially hired a team of well-equipped and well-trained musketeers to set up a dragnet, waiting to capture the monster [Ripper] in one fell swoop. Build momentum in the police department.
But Alan Covert never expected that until the musketeers he seconded returned to the team at the end of their term, the monster named [Ripper] would not appear again, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
Not only did Alan Cowart owe the captain of the Musketeers a favor for nothing, but he also wasted the resources of the police department to support the Musketeers for a week.
This kind of loss-making business can become a negative example in the business circle!
Now, half a month has passed since the police station vowed to arrest the murderer [The Ripper].
The police station has accomplished nothing and has become a joke throughout Jordan Avenue.
It has become a common joke among British people.
Alan Covert can't wait to bring his long sword, put on the armor he put down, and go find [Ripper] for a duel!
Although he, Alan Cowart, is already the head of the new professional "patrol".
But he was also once one of the knights of the kingdom! He has even reached the position of commander of the Tenth Knight Regiment!
In terms of swordsmanship, he is confident that he is no worse than the captain of the Royal Knights, but he does not have their background and connections!
If it weren't for the restructuring of the Kingdom's army, which changed the past army into a musketeer team and reduced the number of staff, how could he be this bullshit director!
This is all because his background and connections are not as good as other legion commanders.
Others either became the commander of the new musketeers, or retained the position of commander of the knights and became the leaders of the few remaining knights.
Therefore, only by being a good director and making the police station a prestigious institution in England can he become a new star in the kingdom!
Let those who look down upon Him marvel before Him!
But if [Ripper] doesn't show up, his police station will have no chance to show off!
He is not willing to give in!
That damn monster! Not only did it not give him an opportunity to rise to prominence, it actually made him the laughing stock of the British city!
The palace even sent a messenger to express Her Majesty the Queen's disappointment in him!
Even the victim Daisy Green, who once came to the police station three times a day, was disappointed and stopped asking about the murderer after discovering that the police station did nothing. (Note 1)
Instead, he hurriedly married a businessman named Jim Hudson, moved into the businessman's manor, and sought refuge.
It can be seen that compared to a police station that has no achievements, people are more willing to believe in the sense of security provided by a businessman full of copper odor and cunning!
In this case, how can Alan Covert not worry!
He even planned to put aside his shame, put on women's clothes, and go to Baker Street in the middle of the night to hang that monster [The Ripper]!
Ten days! The Queen’s Messenger delivered the deadline given by Her Majesty the Queen!
If the case cannot be solved, his position as director will be over!
But now, even if he wants to dress up as a woman, what can he do if the murderer doesn't show up!
Alan Covert didn't know that soon, there would be someone who had the same problem as him and had the same troubles!
In the Notre Dame Monastery, Knock ended another boring day.
After finishing dinner with his brothers and sisters, he told them to take a bath and get ready to rest.
As for Nok himself, he went back to his room to organize his equipment and prepare to return to his old business.
After losing the two "taken advantage of" the Holmes family, Nok has had no new "clients" coming to his door these days.
In order not to sit back and be in vain, Nok had no choice but to return to his old business.
Moreover, it is estimated that the Minotaur Ariadotos has been scolding him in the black market for a long time.
As usual, in a weekly transaction, Knock has let go of the opponent twice.
I originally thought that I would no longer have to go to the black market and deal with those stinky demi-humans, but I never thought that it would be hard to take advantage of them!
If he either disappears or falls out, I won't let him get into another trap.
Alas~
Sin, sin.
He, a serving priest, was about to become a slave to money. He was only one step away from becoming a believer in the God of Commerce.
Nok silently repented for his obsession with money, wondering if he had been slacking off recently and was not pious enough to the Lord.
That's not possible. Using the power of faith in exchange for divine power is the only way he can improve himself at the moment.
Without the baptism of "divine grace" from the church, the fourth level peak is the limit that Nok can currently reach.
If you want to continue to improve, one way is to go to a stronghold of the Holy Church with a bishop level or above, and ask the bishop there to perform a "divine grace" baptism ceremony for you, officially gain the recognition and attention of the Holy Lord, and become a true member of the Holy Church.
Another way is to abandon your current beliefs, change your beliefs, join other professions, and become a new profession.
But this method has a drawback. It is easy to be cursed by the original god of faith. With the "god's curse", the new god you enshrine will feel disgusted and neglect you. Unless you are recognized for doing great things that please the gods, it is also difficult to continue to advance.
Nok had secretly tried this kind of thing.
Later, after discovering that he almost caused the divine power in his body to go berserk and that he still had a vague feeling of being spied on, Nok no longer dared to take risks.
However, because of his recklessness, he was able to imitate the aura of professionals of certain professions and pretend to be their followers to secretly use the skills of some other professions.
As long as you don't use it frequently and don't get caught by others, there won't be a problem.
At least, that's what Nok thinks so smartly.
"Forget it, let's go and do more evening classes and pray again."
Nok put down what he was doing and walked toward the chapel in the front yard.
But he didn't know what kind of trouble he had gotten himself into because of his random and unintentional move.
[Note 1: Daisy Green is quoted from the character name in the story "The Mystery of Mrs. Hudson" created by a netizen on Baidu Tieba. I think this story is good, and I plan to introduce this character into the creation, which can be regarded as a supporting role with some weight. If you guys can find this story and read it, you can roughly guess the role and ending of this character. 】
