A crisis that almost engulfed Tarn Village was averted with just a few words from Nok.
However, the events of that day still had far-reaching consequences.
There are rumors even in Seine City.
As a result, the churches in Knock have become deserted recently.
But Nok didn't care.
Anyway, with the tithes from the villagers, he would not starve to death.
Not to mention the business dividends from the tavern and the village.
On the contrary, he was happy and at ease.
But the business in Tarn Village suffered a lot because of this incident.
After all, if more than a dozen lives were lost without a word, normal people would be afraid, and it is normal for them not to dare to come to Tarn Village.
However, the number of adventurers coming to Tarn Village has increased instead of decreasing.
Many people come here just to drink a glass of special juice from the "Mackina Tavern" and to admire the grace of Father Ryan of Light and Darkness.
Instead, no one paid attention to the aftermath of the eleven villagers who were killed in Tarn Village.
The families of the murdered villagers were taxed more heavily by Anos.
They dared to be angry but dare not speak out, and put this hatred on the head of Father Ryan.
But they underestimated Nok's revenge.
Under Nok's suggestion and relying on Nok's intercession to survive, Ron spared no effort to exclude and suppress those families.
They became a family rejected by the village, and two families even moved directly to the back of the village because they couldn't stay any longer.
If they hadn't been members of Arnos Fred's territory and couldn't move away, they would have left Tarn Village long ago.
Helen's matter caused a bit of a stir.
But at Ron's insistence, Helen's parents could not object, and Helen was taken to Ron's home and placed in the care of his wife, Catherine.
After all, this is my younger brother’s posthumous son!
Even though he wanted to kill his brother with his own hands, the child was innocent, right?
Especially when he witnessed the Viscount beheading his younger brother with his own eyes. At that moment, he recalled all the memories of his younger brother being his follower over the years.
Therefore, even if he knew that there was something fishy about Helen's matter, he still acted like he didn't know and persisted.
After all, when the child is born, you can leave a wife for your brother, right?
The village seemed to have returned to peace, but Nok was troubled.
The church was deserted. He didn't have to go to work and spent most of his time in the pub.
But here's the problem.
There are so many people who come here to visit.
Those who just came to pay homage to him and chat with him were fine.
Nok never gets tired of those guys who want to ride on his reputation and become famous.
Even though he repeatedly insisted that he was just a priest and would not fight.
There are still people blocking the road and challenging me.
There were even sneak attacks to force him to take action.
Unable to bear the disturbance, Nokk maimed two of them in anger, but he still couldn't scare away those reckless guys.
As a last resort, Nok could only hide upstairs in the backyard and read a book.
But being at home for a long time makes him tired!
What's more, there is someone more annoying than him next to him.
"I said Ryan, how about you let the nasty ones beat them all to death? I want to go out and play!"
No one but Jasmine dared to speak to Nok like this.
Nok gave the other party an angry shudder.
"Ouch! Why are you knocking me!"
"Hmph! Who made you so rude? Leo is an elder. I don't care if you call me by his first name, but Leo is your mother's boyfriend. Even if you don't like him, you can't do this. Not polite."
"Hmph! You bastard! You bastard! I won't admit that a guy like this who beats women is an elder."
"Hitting a woman? Have you seen Leo beating a woman?" Nok was dumbfounded and didn't care to teach Jasmine a lesson.
Leo hitting women is something new.
As a knight, Leo would never attack a woman unless the woman was an enemy or so hateful that even Leo couldn't stand her.
"Of course! Huh! That bad guy would always secretly beat my mother with a stick at night, making her cry loudly. My mother was afraid that others would find out, so she would cover her mouth with her hands and cry. She must be afraid that the bad guy would be angry, Even me!"
"!!!" Nok looked at the little ghost in front of him in shock, a little dumbfounded.
"Ahem, Jasmine, when you saw Leo beating your mother with a stick, did you take off all your clothes?"
"Yes, yes, you have seen it too?"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Nok almost choked to death.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no. I guessed it! I guessed it!"
The conscience of heaven and earth, although he heard some noise occasionally, he really never took a peek.
He is a serious person. Instead of peeking, he might as well find one himself.
It's not like there are no girls in the village who want to throw themselves into his arms.
It's just that Nok really doesn't like these country girls.
After all, after tasting plump and juicy peaches, who would want to nibble on green plums!
The lady who often comes to pray is very good, but her background is a bit mysterious, and Nok doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Taking a step back, those aristocratic ladies are not bad either.
Every time I came to see him, my chest would be stuffed with food, and my chest would feel bulging every time.
At first glance, she looks like a good wife and mother who will not starve her children.
It's a pity that Nok is not a good man and is destined not to give them a home.
Even if they are playing games together, Nok believes that only experienced people can have the gaming experience.
It's too troublesome for a newbie or something.
"Ryan, Ryan!"
Nok was surprised by Jasmine's call in his ears. Looking at the shaking hands in front of him, Nok couldn't help but blush.
Damn it, he actually became obsessed with what this kid said about solving Tong Yanwuji.
However, autumn has just begun outside! It’s not the spring breeding season yet!
"Ryan, let's go play!"
"Where are we going to play?"
"How about we go to the city! I haven't been to the city yet! I have saved a lot of money. We can go shopping in the city!"
Well, looking at the excited Jasmine, Nok felt that it was really time to go out for a walk.
It is indeed a torture to have a lively little girl stuck at home with you.
But then again, the little girl is six years old this year, and she hasn’t been to the city yet?
Seine City is not that far away, it only takes two hours to go back and forth on horseback.
"Okay! I'll take you to Senna City!"
"Great!"
Jasmine jumped up excitedly.
"I'm going to change clothes and get some money on the way!"
"etc!"
Nok grabbed the little girl by the collar and lifted her back.
"You don't need to change your clothes. Anyway, I'm going to buy something later. I'll help you buy new clothes to change into. As for money, just put two coins in a money bag and leave the rest at home. It's easy to lose too much money, understand. ?"
"oh."
Jasmine nodded obediently, ran downstairs, and went back to her room to get the money.
Nok shook his head with a smile and opened the desk drawer.
A money bag appeared inside as usual. Looking at the familiar scene, Nok couldn't help but see a few blurry faces in front of his eyes.
"How are you all now?"
"Everything should be fine! After all, it was that person who arranged it."
Nok shook the sentimentality from his mind and picked up the money bag and put it in his arms.
After thinking about it, Nok reached into the drawer and took out the long-lost [Holy Light and Punishment] from the secret compartment under the table. He inserted them behind his waist and covered them with his clothes.
After thinking about it, he put the silver cross around his neck and hid it in his clothes.
As for clothes, today I am wearing a knight uniform.
I haven't been to work these days, and I haven't worn a priest's robe.
Otherwise, if you are too conspicuous in the village, you will be found by adventurers at once, and annoying challenges will follow one after another.
It is not good to wear coarse linen clothes. It is too inconvenient in the event of a battle and will cause pain to the skin.
So during these days, Nok asked Leo to buy himself a knight uniform.
I have to say that linen and cashmere are more comfortable to wear than coarse linen.
Thinking that he had brought everything he should bring, Nok went downstairs to find Jasmine.
When Nok found little Jasmine, the little girl was still counting her money bag.
Although Nok asked her to just bring two coins, she knew that two coins would definitely not buy much.
Because the little girl’s money is all copper. Not even a single silver coin.
The little girl wouldn't go to the places in the village where she could spend money, and there was no shortage of food in the tavern, so even if the little girl had money, she wouldn't have anywhere to spend it.
But the little girl saw the transaction and knew that money can buy things.
However, the most commonly used transactions in the tavern are coppers from villagers and silver coins used by adventurers. Gold coins are basically invisible.
After the adventurer turned in the mission at the tavern, he only received the mission certificate from the tavern instead of the mission reward.
Then you will receive new tasks and continue to complete tasks.
When they need repairs, they will take the mission certificate to the Adventurer's Guild in the city to exchange for reward.
This method greatly facilitates adventurers.
This reduces the time they waste in running back and forth to pick up tasks.
Therefore, even if an adventurer completes a task settled with gold coins, little Jasmine has no chance to see gold coins.
The adults in the family would not give her large amounts of money. It's not that I can't afford it, but I'm afraid that something might happen if the little girl shows off.
"Okay, it's time to trigger. Don't worry about it. I'll make the decision. You bring five. If I don't have enough, I'll treat you!"
"All right!"
Little Jasmine sighed.
Although she had a lot of small money, she knew that the sum of her small money was actually not as valuable as the silver coins that the adventurers used to settle accounts.
Anyway, Ryan said he was going to treat him, so she would reluctantly agree.
"Let's go play!" Jasmine happily rushed to the stairs.
Nok quickly stopped her: "Shh! Keep your voice down! We won't be able to go if we hear it."
Little Jasmine covered her mouth in fear and approached Nok: "Oh, I'll keep my voice down."
"Come on, let's jump out of the wall from the back, not the front door."
Nok picked up Jasmine and jumped out from the backyard wall.
But as soon as they landed, the two of them were embarrassed.
Because someone saw it.
I saw a little carrot biting his finger, walking his sparrow, and looking at the two people jumping down from the wall with bright eyes.
"Call...Call me father!"
"Shut up! Finn, you idiot! Don't call Ryan your godfather! He is not your godfather!"
The little carrot named Finn is only over one year old, and he can't understand Jasmine's words.
He couldn't even speak clearly.
Yes, this child is Ron's son, the boy Nok named Finn.
"Call daddy...hug!"
Finn was not afraid of Jasmine. He ignored her threat of waving her little fist and hugged Nok's leg.
Well~ Angry Birds Attack!
Nok looked at the little sparrow poking on his pants speechlessly, a little dumbfounded.
He put Jasmine down, squatted down to help little Finn, and asked, "Finn, why are you here by yourself? Where is your mother?"
After hearing this, Fein pointed to the commercial street in the distance and said inarticulately: "Mom, buy, Zhizhi, Aunt, eat."
Nock didn't know what "Zhi Zhi" was, but he roughly understood that Catherine was going to the shopping street to buy something to eat for Helen.
"Jasmine, is there food sold in the commercial street?"
"Yes, a lot."
"Then why haven't I seen you buy it?"
"Hmph, those bad guys always say bad things about mom, so I won't eat their food."
Okay, got it.
It’s red eye again.
After all, Makina, a widow, suddenly became the most distinguished woman in the village, and even the village chief's wife had to show courtesy.
Moreover, she suddenly became the richest woman, how could she not make people jealous.
Nok scratched Little Carrot Head's dirty nose: "Well, little Finn, if you don't stay at home, why are you running out?"
"Auntie, pull, it hurts." Finn thought of something he was afraid of, lowered his head and crawled into Nok's arms.
Hearing Fenn's words, Nok's face turned dark.
Helen, what are you doing?
People provide for her well, but she bullies a one-year-old baby?
Nok would not doubt Finn's words.
Although he is young, his emotions cannot be faked.
When it comes to Anna, Finn's instinctive fearful reaction definitely doesn't fool anyone.
"Let's go! Godfather will take you back!"
