Knock finally returned Anna to the gate of Holmes Manor safely before midnight struck.
"Thank you, Father Ryan. Without your escort, I'm afraid I would have become another victim of [The Ripper]. I really don't know how to thank you."
In front of the gate, Anna excitedly hugged Nok who was given to her, and used her broad mind to let Nok feel the majesty of the sea.
Nok raised his hands in confusion and said nervously: "Don't... don't do this, madam. It won't be good if someone sees you."
Anna rolled her eyes at this little guy who didn't know how to be charming.
Pushed Nok away.
"Okay, I'm home. You should go back quickly. Be careful on the road."
With that said, Ana opened the door of the manor and was about to walk in.
After just two steps, she turned around and looked at Nok who was standing there, and suddenly smiled charmingly: "Also, from now on, call me Anna, don't always call me madam, madam. Good night, my Little priest."
After saying that, Anna twisted her waist and walked into the manor.
Looking at Anna's disappearing back, Nok whispered angrily: "A priest is a priest, what kind of title does a little priest have?"
Then, Nok looked at the old servant who looked like a wooden man in the corner of the manor.
"You didn't hear anything, did you?"
The old servant walked over slowly, locked the door, and said to himself: "Oh, it's really strange. Is the night wind so strong now? It actually blew the door open. It's really strange."
Nok: "..."
Well, it turned out that the servants of the noble family were also intermittently blind and deaf, and Nok only found out today.
Nok laughed at himself, jumped on the carriage, and drove away.
He wants to return the carriage to the Monster Hunter Guild.
A carriage, even a flat carriage, is extremely valuable to a monster hunter.
If those guys hadn't misunderstood Nok's identity, Nok would have to pay a price if he wanted to borrow it.
Therefore, Knock should not be greedy for other people's carriages.
After the carriage took Nok and disappeared into the night, a hateful figure walked out from the shadow of the manor's wall.
"Noak Lane! How dare you look down on my aunt!" (Note 1)
It turns out that this dark figure turned out to be Sherlock Holmes who also returned late!
He rushed back after negotiating cooperation with Police Commissioner Alan Cowart.
Just one step ahead of Anna and Nok.
Because he heard the sound of the carriage, he hid curiously and took a peek.
Unexpectedly, he saw Anna hugging Nok.
But Sherlock, with his own filter glasses, ignored the fact that it was Anna who took the initiative to hug Nok.
He thought that Nok had ulterior motives for scorning his aunt.
The small notebook in my heart once again records a stroke for Nok, and when the time comes, all the old and new grudges will be settled together!
Glancing at the old servant who was pretending to be deaf and mute again, Sherlock walked towards the manor with a gloomy face.
The next day.
Nok surprisingly slept in.
Because returning the car was delayed for a while last night, Hyde, who was already wet, was blown by the night wind and caught a cold.
But he didn't realize that after returning home, he changed into dry clothes and fell asleep.
As a result, I got a fever while sleeping.
If Lillian hadn't seen Nok get up and come to see him after making breakfast, no one would have noticed that he was sick!
As the saying goes, "A doctor does not heal himself."
Nok was not a doctor, but he was so groggy with a fever that he couldn't use any healing techniques on himself.
Therefore, even if he was woken up by Lilian, he could only lie on the bed in a daze.
Fortunately, after expelling the Holy Church from Deism, the Lionheart Kingdom derived a new profession - doctor.
Although most doctors work in hospitals, some doctors have opened clinics on the streets.
After all, the divine arts of the Natural God Religion are not suitable for treating diseases. The only divine arts that can heal the body are advanced divine arts.
If it was just to treat ordinary illnesses, using advanced magic would be too extravagant.
Therefore, the profession of doctor has grown rapidly.
It develops dozens of times faster than other new professions.
Therefore, even though people near the monastery knew that there was a priest of the Holy Church in the monastery, a doctor still opened a clinic nearby.
For example, there is a clinic on Lark Street next door.
However, because Nok secretly treated people nearby at low prices, the clinic's business was not very good.
Fortunately, not everyone dared to take the risk of asking Nok for treatment, so the clinic's business was not bad.
But today, the clinic received an unexpected visit.
Matrem is the owner of the clinic and its doctor.
When he heard that the two little boys in front of him wanted to invite him to the monastery next door for medical treatment, he was very surprised.
Although he had no contact with the monastery, it did not prevent him from learning from some patients that there was a young priest in the monastery on the next street who competed with him for business.
But he didn't take it to heart.
As a doctor, before he studied medicine, he went there to save lives and heal the wounded.
But reality told him that doctors would also be hungry.
But that didn't make him dislike the young priest next door.
Especially after he learned about the situation in the monastery from other patients, he sincerely admired this young man who began to take on the responsibility of raising several unrelated younger brothers and sisters when he was only 15 years old.
However, he did not expect that this young priest, who usually treated the poor at low prices, would also fall ill one day.
And he even begged him, his "competitor".
Markrem calmed down the anxious little guest, put on his coat, picked up the first aid kit, locked the door of the clinic, and told the neighbor to tell the patients who came to the door that he was visiting the monastery next door.
Then he followed Crowell and Hawkes and hurried to the monastery.
After some diagnosis and treatment, Markrem confirmed that Nok had a fever caused by wind chill, so he took out a syringe and gave Nok a fever-reducing injection.
After the medicine took effect and Nok began to reduce his fever, he left the antipyretic medicine and medical instructions, took Lilian's payment, and left the monastery.
Of course, the injection process is a bit tortuous.
When Markrem took out the syringe, the little guys in the monastery were just curious.
When they saw the syringe with the needle attached, the little girls cried out of fright.
The boys angrily threw Dr. Markram down to prevent him from "murdering" Nok.
Fortunately, Lillian stopped this farce in time.
After all, she never believed that Markrem would be stupid enough to stab Nok, a "competitor", with a poisonous needle as Crowell said in front of a group of children.
However, due to a misunderstanding between several boys, Markrem was still angry and charged an extra silver coin for treatment.
The treatment and visits cost a total of five silver coins.
The cost is not low.
Because of the close distance, the consultation fee is actually not high.
The most expensive thing is the potion.
It is said that a fever-reducing potion requires complicated processes to make.
Dr. Markram himself doesn't know how to do it. He gets it from the hospital.
As for the hospital, it seems to have been purchased from an alchemist.
Although the children in the monastery felt sorry for the five silver coins, they spent it on Knock without any complaints.
But they just felt that the money was spent a bit unfairly, and they wished that they were the ones who got sick, not Nok.
In that case, they only need to let Nok cast a healing spell, and they can be alive and kicking again.
Simple, quick and save money.
Just as the children gathered around Nok.
A group of uninvited guests came to the door of the monastery.
By the time the children in the backyard heard the noise, the group of uninvited guests had already broken into the backyard yard.
"Who are you! Why do you want to break into a private house!"
Lilian rushed out of Nok's small building with her children and stopped the group of strangers who came in uninvited.
"Huh? What an ungrateful girl. Is this how your monastery treats guests?"
A pot-bellied man stared at Lillian dissatisfied and said reproachful words.
A sharp-looking woman next to her covered her mouth with the folding fan in her hand, and said in a sinister tone: "Giggles, this is just an orphanage occupied by a group of orphans. If you know how to be polite, don't have any expectations. Get it done quickly." Leave. I feel tainted by staying in such a dirty place."
Several people who looked like servants nearby nodded, seeming to agree with the lady's words.
"Shut up! Who are you? Why are you talking about other people's homes? Get out of here, otherwise I will notify the police station!"
Lilian was the backbone of the little guys after all, and she stood up and scolded the bitter woman without hesitation.
The bitter woman was furious, pointed at Lilian and shouted: "What! You stinky girl, how dare you scold me! Someone! Grab this girl and slap her!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Two muscular servants jumped out and headed straight for Lilian.
"Asshole! How dare you!"
Clowell and Hawks were shocked, grabbed small stones in the yard and threw them at the two servants.
But Nock felt that the backyard was a place for people to live. Except for a few stones as big as a finger, he moved away and threw away all the larger stones.
Therefore, it was not painful for the little stone to fall on the two servants.
Even though Lilian turned around and wanted to run when she saw something bad, the two of them caught up and grabbed Lilian's arm.
Lilian struggled: "Let go! Let go quickly!"
The woman shouted with a proud look on her face: "Hit me hard!"
The pot-bellied man shrugged indifferently and looked around, not paying attention to the farce in front of him.
"I'll fight you!"
Colowell rushed towards the bitter woman. He knew that he was no match for the two muscular servants, so he could only "encircle Wei and save Zhao" from the bitter woman.
Of course, he didn't know the term "encircle Wei and save Zhao".
But the idea is the same.
But the servant beside the woman didn't give Colowell a chance at all. He just reached out and grabbed Colowell and lifted him in the air.
Anxious, Crowell kicked his legs wildly in the air: "Let me go, let me go!"
The woman had a ruthless expression on her face and gritted her teeth as she said, "Beat this brat to death! He actually wants to attack my wife!"
When Hawks saw the situation in front of him, he quickly turned around and ran towards the small building.
"Huh? That kid wants to escape? Someone come and catch him!"
The pot-bellied man saw Hawkes' actions at a glance and waved his servants to chase Hawks.
Ashley woke up from her fright, pulled the two little ones and rushed directly towards the servant who was chasing Hawks.
"Havel, Avril, hold his legs tight, don't let him catch up with Hawks!"
The little girl understood that Hawks went to Knock for help.
Therefore, even though he was afraid in his heart, he still wanted to stop this servant with the help of his two little ones.
But the servant is an adult after all, and he is following his master to cause trouble today, so he will not pity a few children at all.
He raised his foot and kicked Ashley and the two little ones to the ground in just a few clicks.
Because Hewel was a boy, he was more difficult to deal with than the two women, so the servants used a little more force on him.
As a result, Hywell was kicked until he vomited blood.
"Hywell!"
Ashley screamed in fear.
[Note 1: I forgot that I hope there is no such thing as uncle. My father’s brothers, no matter how big or small, are all called uncles, and his wife is naturally aunt. I didn't use the word aunt wrong, but I still used the word uncle wrong in the previous article. If it's wrong, it's wrong. I'm too lazy to go back and change it. It’s really hard to find between the lines. 】
