After soothing the horse, Knock finally had time to comfort the frightened lady.
"I wonder if Mrs. Holmes was frightened, or whether she would be happy because of my arrival. If she could..."
Nok came to the car door in a hurry and knocked on it gently.
"Ma'am, can I come in?"
"Crunch——"
Before Nok could make a move, the car door was opened, and a figure jumped out from inside, hanging on Nok's body.
"Ooooo, Nok, you're finally here. I'm so scared! It's so scary! Ooooh!"
"Ooooooo, I thought I was going to die!"
"Monster! Woohoo, there's a monster!"
"Go! Get me out of here!"
Before Nok could react, the man on his body made Nok cry and bewildered.
Feeling Ren'er's trembling body, Nok silently put his hands on Ren'er's back and patted her back gently.
"It's okay, it's okay. I knocked the monster into the lake. You are safe now."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely send you home safely."
Nock comforted Anna's ear softly, but he didn't notice that Anna just called him not "Father" or "Father Ryan", but "Nock".
Anna hugged Nok's neck tightly, buried her head between Nok's shoulder and neck, and vented her emotions to her heart's content.
Waves of crying echoed around the empty lake, which was extremely scary.
Yes.
At least that's what the servants of the Grand Duke thought.
I was awakened by an inexplicable roar, so I thought I would go out and check it out. Unexpectedly, before he got close, he heard the miserable cry of a woman from a distance.
Isn’t it possible that the woman buried on Duck Island yesterday faked her body?
Or her undead came out for revenge.
But shouldn’t we go to the Grand Duke’s eldest son? Why do you want them to be servants?
They just helped dig a hole to bury the body. The one who killed her was the eldest son himself!
The servants, who thought they were being killed by the female ghost, were so frightened that they left the big garden and ran towards the street.
When he heard the noise, Nok could only hold the woman in his arms and silently glanced at the direction where the servants were leaving.
"Crash!"
A sound of water startled Nok.
He stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of the woman in his arms, and whispered: "Be good, wait for me in the carriage, or you can drive the carriage to the front and wait for me. I'll come meet us who just took a shower." Ripper]Mr.”
Hearing Nok's words, the person in his arms couldn't help but tremble, and then released his hand holding Nok's neck, letting Nok take him back to the car.
"boom".
Gently closing the car door, Nok breathed a sigh of relief with a strange expression, and then couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The moon is so white tonight!
In the car, Anna, whose clothes were messy and falling off her shoulders, leaned on the chair in the car and looked out the window with the corners of her mouth raised.
The effect of the old shoulder slip was quite good. She just caught the shock in the handsome boy's eyes.
At this time, in the empty carriage, I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After losing a man, God sent another man to her.
And this man is younger and better.
Nok didn't know what Anna was thinking in the carriage. At this moment, he just wanted to kill the guy who disturbed him and made him only get a glimpse.
Then he hurried back to the carriage to comfort the frightened lady.
How can such a white moonlight be wasted on such a scenery!
Nok jumped onto the bridge and stood on the top of the pillar, looking down at the silver-scaled lake.
[Ripper] was bathed in the moonlight, struggling in the water like a dog crawling, causing silver ripples.
Nok, who originally planned to wait for the Ripper to land before taking action, finally gave up the idea after watching it quietly for two minutes.
Nok never imagined that a monster as big as [Ripper] could not swim!
This is England! A city across the Thames!
Are you embarrassed to hang out in this city and not know how to swim?
Not to mention that there is a port to the east!
As a British monster, it is also a relatively famous monster, but it can't swim!
If outsiders knew this, they would laugh out loud!
Looking at [Ripper] that kept spinning in the lake for two minutes, Nok gave up the decision to wait for it to come ashore.
But Nork didn't want to jump into the lake and fight [Ripper].
Although he can't swim, his body shape is there. Even if Nok gets into the water, he won't be able to fight. It's not certain who will teach whom!
If you are dragged into the bottom of the lake by this monster holding your hands and feet, your life or death will be unpredictable!
Who knows if this monster can breathe in water, what if someone else can!
Isn’t Tanok going to deliver food?
Rather than taking a chance, it would be better to send Anna home first, and then come back and wait.
Anyway, depending on the situation, this monster won't be able to escape from the lake for a while.
Thinking of this, Nok turned around and rushed towards the carriage.
Nok didn't notice that just when he turned to leave, the monster clumsily "dog-pawing" in the lake looked at his back with twinkling eyes, stopped what he was doing, and floated quietly on the water.
"Ann...Na."
The monster chanted Anna's name, his eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.
The monster dived under the water and dived towards the shore.
"who!"
Anna, who heard the footsteps, asked warily.
"It's me! Madam Nok Lane, it's okay. The monster is trapped. I'll take you home first and pick it up later."
Nok tried to appease Anna's emotions, but he didn't know that Anna in the car was looking at the lake behind from the window on the other side with flickering eyes, and did not listen to Nok's words at all.
"Madam, madam? Are you there? I'm coming in."
Nok shouted anxiously when he didn't get a reply, and reached out to pull the car door.
"Ah, I'm fine. I'm just sorting out my clothes. Don't come in."
After receiving Anna's response, Nok withdrew his hand that was about to touch the door handle.
He said quickly: "Oh, you are busy, I will drive."
"Um."
A perfunctory answer came from the carriage.
Nok didn't pay attention, thinking that the other party was frightened and didn't want to speak.
So, Nok sat in the driving seat, grabbed the reins, shook the carriage, and drove the carriage forward.
Although this is the back garden of St. James Archduke, there are still roads.
Along the road, Nok soon saw the exit.
Strangely, the exit was empty with no guards.
Isn't the Grand Duke afraid that the animals inside will run into the street, or that people from outside will sneak in and poach?
Nok admired the Grand Duke's big heart, but he never thought that it was not that they were not guarded, but that they were scared away by their movements.
"drive!"
Nock identified the direction of Holmes Manor and took a shortcut in his carriage.
"clang!"
The melodious sound of the bell sounded, causing Nok's expression to change slightly as he was driving.
"Dang, Dang...Dang!"
Another ten bells sounded, and midnight has arrived!
Nok warned the car behind him and said, "Madam, sit tight, I'm going to speed up!"
"Drive! Drive!"
The movement speed of the carriage increases instantly.
It turned into a black lightning on the dark night street and moved forward rapidly.
As the midnight bell rang, some buildings along the street that were still lit with lights turned off their lights one after another.
Even some institutions in the south of the city are closed.
For example: British Police Department.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Director Alan Cowart still ordered all employees to get off work.
[The Ripper] cannot be caught, they are not even qualified to participate in the "Vigil"!
Britain after midnight is taken over by knights from various professions and reservations.
They would also kill the monsters that occasionally broke into the British city.
Who makes the police station that was originally expected to be unable to catch the murderer of a serial murder case? How can it have the nerve to replace professionals and become the guardians of the new order?
Recently, not only has the police department lost face, but Her Majesty the Queen has also lost face.
There are only three days left before the deadline given by the Queen, and Alan Covert has already prepared his resignation letter!
Allen wore the uniform of the police station, mounted his mount with his own sword, and rushed home.
The horse is his old companion. It once accompanied him on the battlefield, but now it has become his means of transportation to and from get off work.
Allen was very irritable and didn't know what to do after resigning.
Register as a warrior at the Warrior Professional Office, and then become a bounty hunter who takes on bounty missions, or a monster hunter who hunts monsters.
Or find a group of companions who like adventure and treasure hunting and become adventurers?
No, this is not what he wants!
He didn't want to hang out with lowly commoners.
He is Alan Covert and a noble of the kingdom!
Although many changes in the kingdom caused the Kvothe family to lose their fiefdom, he is still a respectable viscount!
He is a man who wants to regain the fiefdom for his family, and he must not fall like this!
Just as Allen was secretly cheering himself up, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the alley in front of him, blocking his way in.
"咴咴!"
The horse that Allen was sitting on was frightened and howled wildly. It stood up and was about to use its front hooves to trample the black shadows blocking the road.
"Ah! No!" Black Shadow didn't expect this to happen. He fell back in fright, revealing his true appearance.
It turned out to be a boy with chestnut hair!
Seeing this, Allen quickly tightened the reins and pulled hard to the side.
"Hey! Black Rose, calm down!"
The horse was pulled by Allen and changed its direction in pain, and dropped its hooves towards the black shadow.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
When the horse's hoof hit the ground, it not only made a dull sound, but also made a dent in the cement floor. (Note 1)
"Who are you! Are you looking for death! If I hadn't been good at riding, I would have trampled you to death!"
Allen was very angry and yelled at the desperate young man in front of him.
That is to say, he is in a bad situation now, and it will be very troublesome if someone loses his life.
In the past, given Allen's status, he would have trampled him to death without any hesitation.
