Nock's processed "confession" ruined Allen and Edelman's plans.
After the Queen's car arrived, the Queen already knew the entire incident.
After she got out of the car, she scolded Director Allen in a tough manner, and then gave Edelman a soft nail.
This can be regarded as appeasing the people.
Then, in front of the onlookers, she declared on the spot that the two were not guilty.
and invited them both to come down and ride with her in her carriage to rest at the palace.
But Knock, who landed with the help of the Royal Knights, declined the Queen's invitation in public.
He also said that as a priest of the monastery, he had his own place to go.
So, in front of everyone, he rented a carriage, took Sig on the carriage, and returned to the monastery.
But that night, after receiving the news, the Natural Church, which had been ambushing around the monastery early, was able to escape in the monastery.
Nook Lane's room was tidy.
All personal belongings belonging to Nok Lane have been taken away.
Even in the study room on the second floor, some important books and notes have disappeared.
Only empty monasteries remained, waiting for the intrusion of the Church of Nature.
One month later.
In the courtyard on Elk Street.
Nok lay on Zola's vine hammock and looked at Sig who was practicing walking again.
Yes, practice.
Nok successfully broke through to the silver level half a month ago and became a clergyman with a professional level of six.
If you have enough merit, you can be promoted to a regional bishop within the Holy Church.
After all, such a young silver-level priest can no longer be described as young and promising.
Dannock knew that his leaping breakthrough was impossible to replicate.
If it weren't for the holy war contract on his body, or if it wasn't for the treasure he had stolen from Althanos.
He simply couldn't mobilize the power left in the contract by the Holy Lord and turn them into his own use.
Fortunately, after the breakthrough, Nok learned the "Holy Light Salvation" that can regenerate his hands and feet by relying on the notes left in the monastery.
This is a real magical skill!
Many clerics who have reached level seven or even level eight may not be able to learn magical skills.
Logically speaking, "Holy Light Redemption" is a seventh-level skill, and Nok can't learn it at all.
But the rag-like treasure he got from Salzanos taught Nok how to simplify this magical skill.
Although Nok will be weak for a day after each use, the effect is satisfactory enough.
Trading a day's weakness for someone to regenerate from a broken limb is a huge profit!
Therefore, after becoming proficient in this magical skill, Nok spent three days helping Sig recover his severed limb.
However, the reborn hands and feet are somewhat uncoordinated.
If Sig wants to regain control of them, he must practice more and turn them into instinct.
"I said boy Nock, when are you two going to leave? Elizabeth has begun to doubt me recently."
Zola was lying on a vine as thick as a tree on the window sill, dangling her smooth feet in boredom, looking at the heavy snow outside the window and sulking.
As an elf, she really doesn't like the lifeless winter.
It would be better if we were in the Emerald Territory. The Emerald Territory has the power of the emerald dragon and the Elf Tree, and it would be like spring all year round.
But that was not the case in the outside world. Even if she had spent dozens of winters in the Lionheart Kingdom, she would still feel bored.
"It's almost here. Isn't it snowing? The Church of Nature is keeping a close eye on us and won't give us a chance to leave!"
"Wait for Brother Sig..."
Sig, who was practicing walking, suddenly interrupted: "My name is Leo now, Leo Gareth."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes -, I'm sorry I forgot, I'm not used to it yet."
Nok was helpless and perfunctory, Naxi... Leo had no choice.
After Nok regenerated his severed limbs, he woke up from lying down for a day and saw Leo sitting beside his bed loudly announcing to him that he had changed his name to Leo Gareth.
Nook asked why, and Leo said that Sig Holmes had been stabbed to death by Sherlock Holmes on the day he was in High Court.
He is the reborn Leo Gareth, and from now on he will be Nok's guardian knight. His life will only be to protect Nok.
Leo's words were so frightening that Nok turned to stone.
Even if Nok persuaded him many times later, he could not change his mind.
Even just last night, Leo found Ms. Zola to personally witness Leo's allegiance ceremony to Nok.
Nok, who did not have any title, could only grant Leo to become his own guardian knight in his own name.
Zola tried to persuade Nok to complete the ceremony for Leo in the name of the Rose Family, but Nok refused.
Leo was reborn, and so was Nok.
He witnessed with his own eyes how the Queen, who planned to abandon Sig as a scapegoat, was forced to retract her decision under public pressure and declare herself and Sig Holmes innocent in compliance with "public opinion".
Others don't know, but the Queen, who has already made it clear to Nok and Leo, cannot possibly not know that Nok lied at that time.
Leo is the murderer of the Baker Street serial murders.
But under Nok's performance and the miracle he created, the queen chose to bow her head and give in.
Nok understood that the Queen was extremely angry at that time, but she could still smile and welcome people without revealing any flaws despite her extreme anger.
This ability to disguise frightened him.
Therefore, faced with the Queen's invitation, Nok refused.
He even made an excuse to go back to the monastery and took Leo missing.
The Queen also suspected that Nok was hiding in another courtyard, and even came twice.
But they were dodged by Nok and Sig.
Because the two of them had been living in the dungeon, how could the queen, who never entered the study, find them?
It's not that the Queen doesn't know about the existence of the dungeon, it's that she never imagined that someone would live in a dungeon instead of having a good room to live in!
With Zola's cover, the two of them could easily hide from the Queen and her spies.
Back to business.
When Nok heard Zola's question, he replied: "We should leave after Leo can move freely. It won't be long."
"Why, are you so anxious to drive us away?"
Zola lazily replied: "Not really, it's just that the agreement between Elizabeth and I only has the last few months left. Originally there were still two years, but because Elizabeth made several unreasonable demands to me , in exchange for the agreed time."
Nok replied indifferently: "Oh."
Now Zola was unhappy: "Aren't you curious about what request she made to me?"
"Not curious."
"real?"
"real."
"You're so boring, you don't look like a young man at all."
"Haha, I'm not as curious as some young people who are hundreds of years old."
Nok's complaints didn't bother Zola.
She is an elf, not a human, and she doesn't care much about her age.
Besides, even if she is eight hundred years old, she will still look as young and beautiful as she does now.
Her strength has reached the holy level, and her lifespan has been extended from the average age of 800 years to 1,500 years.
This long period of time can even take a civilization from birth to destruction.
How could she care about a mere change in age.
"I will leave here soon. I feel bored after staying here for a long time and always want to go back to the Emerald Territory."
"But when I really wanted to leave, I suddenly couldn't bear to leave."
Listening to Zola's sigh, Nok smiled and explained: "Don't be too sentimental. As a longevity species, your experience here is just the tip of the glacier in your long life. Maybe you will forget it in some corner one day. . However, if there is a chance in the future, I will go to Jade Collar to see you."
"Forget it. You can't get in. Even if you get in, you still have to face the wrath of the emerald dragon. I don't want to collect the corpse for you."
Well, thinking of the dragon-slaying knights in history, the relationship between humans and dragons is not too harmonious.
Some giant dragons hate humans, and some even become what humans call evil dragons, taking pleasure in killing people.
The giant dragon in the Emerald Territory seems to be the kind that doesn't like humans.
"There are still a few months, then we will be ahead of you. When this snow is over, maybe we will leave."
"Can't we celebrate the feast of grace?" (A day similar to Christmas.)
"No! For us two homeless people, it doesn't make any sense if we can't celebrate the festival."
Nok said indifferently, but Zola didn't know how bitter Nok felt when he said this.
Even Leo, who looked like he didn't care about anything, stopped dead in his tracks when he heard these words.
"Okay, how do you plan to leave? I guess you can't leave the port. Elizabeth has been sending people to patrol there. She won't let you leave easily. She also wants you to be her heir."
"Haha, let her wait slowly."
"That's the throne, you really don't care?"
"It's just a cage called power. I don't want to be trapped in it."
"Well, you look very sober, more sober than any other human being I've ever seen. I've seen several kings."
"oh."
The conversation between the two ended peacefully.
Outside the window, there is heavy snow like goose feathers, which has long turned the British city into a white world.
The houses in the British city were covered with thick quilts.
Nok looked at the blurry light outside the window, his eyes full of confusion.
Although both he and Zola were leaving.
But unlike Zora, she has her own destination.
She has a home to return to.
There is a family at home waiting for her to be reunited.
But Nok didn't know where he could go after leaving here.
Cosmopolitan?
Or find a rural place to settle down?
he does not know.
He only knew that one of his decisions was related to the fate of two people.
Him, and Leo.
The road ahead is confusing, and no one can be his guiding light.
No one showed him the way forward.
Instead, he has to shoulder the responsibility of holding a lantern and guiding the way.
It is the bright road,
Still an abyss.
They all need to be controlled by him, the lamp holder.
Because he controls more than just Nok Lane's fate.
And the life of his follower, Leo Gareth!
