The hunter's death was expected by Anna.

[Ripper] If he was so easy to kill, he wouldn't have left the police station without success for two months.

What's more, she was just testing her skills and didn't attack [Ripper] at all.

[Ripper] was just injured by the protective function of her treasure.

She already knew this.

But she didn't know how long the hunter had been here or whether he had seen anything.

Therefore, when the hunter was on guard against her, she was also on guard against this hunter.

Therefore, when she saw [Ripper] sneaking up on the hunter, she deliberately delayed a beat before giving a warning.

In order to kill the hunter and clear his own suspicion at the same time.

However, now she and the seemingly seriously injured [Ripper] are left alone, what should we do next?

Just when she was in trouble, someone came to her rescue.

"Madam! Where are you?"

Not far away, Nok's anxious shouts came from a distance of only a few dozen meters.

It was probably because he was on another street and was blocked by the street corner that he didn't find Anna.

Seeing this, Anna quickly adjusted her breath, glanced timidly at the nervous [Ripper], and ran towards Nok in panic.

While running, he screamed for help in panic: "Help! Father! I'm here! Woohoo, people are dead, it's so scary!"

Nok, who was looking for Anna on the next street, heard Anna's cry and rushed towards her.

Soon, he turned the corner and saw Anna, whose beauty was eclipsed.

At this time, Anna had already taken off her shoes and her cloak was hanging behind her head.

There was a look of panic on his face. After seeing Nok, the panic turned into joy.

Like a bird returning to its nest, it flew into Nok's arms.

"Oh, oh, oh, priest, monster, monster is killing people!"

Anna buried her face in Nok's arms and cried loudly without raising her head. She also pointed her finger at the street behind her and told the story of the monster's killing.

Nok looked in the direction Anna pointed.

He only saw a muscular monster standing there under the streetlight dozens of meters away.

In the middle of the road not far away from its feet, two vague black shadows and some liquid-like things were lying there.

Thinking about it, he must be the victim mentioned by his wife.

"Ripper! You won't change your ways! I won't let you go tonight!"

Nok held Anna up and pulled her out of his arms.

"Madam, please wait here. I will definitely be able to clean it up this time. I accidentally fell into the river just now. There is no river here this time. It is definitely no match for me!"

Nok put down Anna and rushed towards [Ripper].

But [Ripper] had long recognized the man as Nok.

How could it possibly fight Nok when it was injured?

Although Nok suffered a painful loss just now, he was not injured.

Therefore, after [Ripper] discovered that Nok had the intention to fight, he immediately turned around and rushed into the alley.

When Nok rushed to the alley, there was only an empty alley, and there was no sign of [Ripper] at all.

[The Ripper] has long since fled.

Anna was prepared for Nok's failure.

She originally went to visit Nok after learning from Sherlock that he could escape unharmed from the fight with the Ripper.

But tonight it seems that although Nok can escape unscathed, he is no match for [Ripper].

Come to think of it, how could a young orphan priest be his opponent?

Others don’t know [The Ripper]’s identity, but she knows it very well!

After all, that [Ripper] was once the person closest to her!

But that’s fine. It’s a good thing that Nok failed to keep [Ripper].

After all, she doesn't want outsiders to know the true identity of [The Ripper].

Now that she has tested that the Ripper can't hurt her at all, she no longer takes the Ripper to heart.

The most important thing now is to stabilize the young priest in front of him and ask him to help prevent the restless nephew at home from continuing to investigate the "Ripper".

Otherwise, if he continues to be entangled like this, [The Ripper]'s identity will be exposed sooner or later.

However, as long as Nok can pester Sherlock for a few days, she will have time to solve this problem.

She had plenty of ways to deal with a seriously injured [Ripper].

Although Anna had an idea in her mind, she still looked scared.

She even cleverly blamed [Ripper]'s injury on the dead hunter.

After hearing what Anna said, Nok quickly went to check the identity of the dead hunter.

Well, it turned out to be someone I knew.

Although Nok and Kidd were not familiar with each other, they still had one or two conversations from a distance with their faces covered.

However, the content of the conversation was not very friendly.

But Knock still recognized Kidd, whom he had met several times.

"Madam, please wait a moment. I'll find someone to take care of this place. I'll get a carriage by the way."

Just when Anna thought that Nok was going to abandon her again, she saw Nok squatting next to the body and groping for a while on the body.

Then, he seemed to have found what he was looking for, stood up, took the thing and pulled it towards the sky.

"call out!"

A fireball took off with a tail, then exploded in the air, forming a pattern of goblin heads in the air.

"This is the signal flare of the Monster Hunter Guild. It is used for calling for help and positioning."

Seeing Anna looking at him curiously, Nok explained to her what was in his hand.

"I've heard of flares, but aren't they something only found in the army?"

Anna said doubtfully.

Nok shook his head and smiled: "This happened more than a hundred years ago. After improvements by goblin craftsmen, signal flares have been able to achieve diversification. However, I heard from the caravan running the Eastern route that it is rumored that the East is the origin of flares. The flares there have become popular as entertainment props for the public, and they are not only diverse, but also beautiful."

Ana opened her mouth wordlessly, but in the end she said nothing.

She knew nothing about the East.

I only heard my husband Ford say enviously that there is a huge ancient country in the far east, and the land is full of gold.

Unfortunately, the journey is long and dangerous.

A caravan of thousands of people has been traveling for several years, and when it comes back, it would be great if there are only a hundred people left.

But everyone who can come back has made a fortune.

Either become a distinguished guest of the kingdom or be named a noble.

Ford really wanted to organize a large caravan to go to the East to pan for gold, but unfortunately he lacked capital.

"The windlass, the windlasses, the windlasses."

The sound of rolling wheels interrupted Anna's recollection.

"Hush!"

A simple carriage stopped in front of Nok and the two men, and a group of armed men jumped down from the carriage.

"Kidd, you kid can actually send out a flare to ask for help today!"

Among the people getting off the bus, someone was joking loudly.

They thought the person who sounded the flare was Kidd himself.

After all, the person hunting here tonight is Kidd.

However, before they could stand firm, Nok gave them a "head-on blow".

"Sorry to interrupt you. If the Kidd you are talking about is the man lying on the ground, I can only let you express your condolences. Your Kidd has returned to the arms of the Lord. I was the one who sounded the flare. of."

"What!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Nok's words.

Those with sharp eyes took a closer look and saw two corpses lying in the middle of the road.

He immediately screamed: "No, Kidd is really dead!"

There are seven or eight people in this car, all of whom are monster hunters who usually have a good relationship with Kidd.

When they heard what happened to Kidd, the faces of the group changed drastically. They pulled out their weapons and surrounded Nok and Anna.

Nok glanced at them calmly: "Everyone, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" A bald, red-bearded man who seemed to be the leader and holding a big ax stood up.

He pointed the ax blade at Nok and said: "Did you kill Kidd? Tell me honestly, otherwise don't blame us for cutting you two into pieces!"

Nok sneered and said: "Okay, stop pretending. If I were the murderer, how could I take the initiative to send out flares and wait for you to trouble me? How did Kidd die? You only need to go and take a look. You will know if you want to frame me. You must also consider your own status and see if the Hunter Guild behind you has the courage to support you in causing trouble for me."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, my name is Nock Lane, and I am a priest."

"Hiss!" All the hunters who heard Nok announcing his home status took a breath of air at the same time.

Father, I can't afford to offend you!

Don't look at it, they are all hunters from the Monster Hunter Guild.

But the Monster Hunter Guild will not stand up for Monster Hunter.

The Monster Hunter Guild is just a mission platform organization. Any professional can become a member of it as long as they pay money.

You can be a noble priest, a mysterious mage, or a notorious thief and killer.

As long as you pay money, you can join and become a monster hunter.

But who is the priest? They are members of the church! It still exists like a cornerstone.

Moreover, in England, no one dares to pretend to be a priest except those from the Deistic Church, which has become the state religion!

Although they also have their own professional offices, those professional offices are not as protective and overbearing as those sects.

Unless you have become a very important figure in your profession, no profession is willing to be at odds with the sect.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Reverend Father, we are rude! Please accept our most sincere apology!"

Seven or eight people yelled and threw down their weapons. They knelt down in front of Nok and begged Nok for forgiveness.

There is no way, the Natural God Religion is too overbearing.

There is a faint tendency to be self-centered in the Lion Heart Kingdom, and even the mysterious magic union must avoid its edge.

However, if they knew that the Nock in front of them was not a priest of the Natural God Church, but a priest of the Holy Church who they mistakenly thought had been completely expelled, I wonder if they would still be frightened?

So, under this kind of frightened negotiation, Nok borrowed their carriage amidst the "tears of gratitude" of the hunters.

As for the Holmes family's carriage on the bridge, Nock also asked these guys to help deal with it.

Although the two horses were frightened and injured, they might still be usable after they recover from their injuries, but the carriage carriage was seriously damaged and probably wouldn't be usable.

He helped Anna into the driving seat of the carriage, and Nok also sat on it.

Instructing Anna to support him, Nok drove away slowly.

After Nok left, all the hunters looked scared.

Finally, this "God of Plague" was sent away.

Then, they took their anger out on Kidd, who had died.

Quickly dividing Kidd's belongings, they put Kidd's body in a torn bag.

Then he went to the bridge where Knock said he was and rescued two injured horses.

As for the carriage, they didn't move it. They didn't know what to do with the items with noble marks.

If Nok hadn't said that someone would go to the union to claim the two horses tomorrow, they wouldn't have dared to help take them away.

All in all, tonight was an unlucky day for them.

But fortunately, there is still a legacy waiting for them to divide.

The unlucky guy Kidd was a bachelor. When he died, his things were naturally divided among the group of people who helped collect his body.

I remember that Kidd seemed to have a dilapidated house, which he might be able to sell for some gold coins.

Greed made these hunters forget their unhappiness and work with a little more energy.

【There’s another power outage again! Stopped three times a week, it’s terrible! I was typing words, and my thoughts were just right, when suddenly everything went dark, the lights went out, and the computer stopped running. I waited two hours for a call and was so depressed. 】
