Chapter 52: The Inevitable Decline
A few minutes later, a large group of people walked out of the manor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of them were terrified, and only a few had eyes that could be described as hostile.
However, even these people, when they came into contact with Qin Ran's gaze, they lowered their heads in a panic and never dared to raise their heads again.
The scene in front of him told him that the decline of Qin Ranweien's family was inevitable.
In fact, the same is true.
When Sheriff John said that he wanted to search Wayne Manor, none of the so many people dared to object, so Qin Ran and John walked into the manor in a grand manner.
And, as soon as he entered the spare hall, the middle-aged man came over with a small cart.
The cart resembles a food truck, but it doesn't hold food.
But......
Gold and coins.
After removing the covered cloth, the whole piece of gold bricks and a stack of thick coins were imprinted into Qin Ran and John's eyes.
The sheriff was stunned.
Qin Ran remained indifferent.
After being brought in here and retreating from everyone, leaving only the three of them, Qin Ran guessed what the other party wanted to do.
The former Dawn Church did the same.
Facing the large coalition army of the Wayne family, a cart loaded with gold and precious stones was pushed into the barracks by the old nun.
Then, in exchange for 'peace'.
Now, it's a repeat.
However, the roles played by the two sides have reversed places.
It was supposed to be a very interesting scene.
Qin Ran couldn't raise the slightest interest in his heart.
This is especially true in the face of gold and banknotes that are completely useless to him.
So, he shook his head.
But the middle-aged man obviously misunderstood what Qin Ran meant.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please give you a few days, we will definitely make up enough price to satisfy you!"
The other party gritted his teeth and said.
"That's not what I need!"
"Not gold, not coins, but books, scrolls, recorded texts that had been taken by the Vane family—things that should have been the Church of Dawn."
"I'm just getting back what belongs to us now."
Qin Ran emphasized.
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect Qin Ran to ask for these things.
"Please wait!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man quickly pushed the car away, more than twice as fast as when he came.
"Whew!"
"It's really tempting. Confused! ”
After the other party disappeared, John let out a long breath, and then looked at Qin Ran with great admiration.
He could swear that in the face of those gold and banknotes, Qin Ran didn't change at all, not even his breath was short.
"Are all the 'Sons of God' as desireless and desireless as you?"
John asked curiously.
"That's because I didn't see what I wanted."
Qin Ran said so.
Then, his eyes were on the end of the hallway.
Qin Ran had already heard footsteps.
Not just one, but many.
The next moment, a procession of more than thirty people appeared, both men and women, all of whom had seen before, each of them holding a thick stack of books.
After putting these books in front of Qin Ran again, these people retreated one after another.
The panic was still there, but the only remaining hostility in the eyes of those few people was gone.
Undoubtedly, compared to gold and coins, these books have no value in their eyes.
But in Qin Ran's eyes, it is a thousand dollars.
Qin Ran bent down to examine these books carefully, and after a while, he stopped with satisfaction.
The age of the paper.
A little flipping through the pages reveals both prayers praising the goddess of the dawn and some secret records.
Ordinary people look absurd and uninhibited, but this is what Qin Ran wants.
Of course, Qin Ran wanted much more than that.
"This is all the books we have in our collection about the Church of Dawn."
The middle-aged man said.
"Good!"
"Please have these books loaded into the wagon...... Can you lend me a carriage? ”
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"I'll arrange it for you right away!"
Regarding Qin Ran's request, the middle-aged man would not, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he immediately agreed.
You know, the situation in front of them is countless times better than they imagined.
Just giving some books to gain peace was something they couldn't think of before Qin Ran arrived.
"And!"
"Please send someone to take me to Kateley's grave."
Qin Ran stopped the other party who was about to leave.
The middle-aged man who was called first trembled in his heart, but after hearing Qin Ran's request, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Kateley, although he was the heir before, is dead.
The heir who died was completely unimportant to the current Venn family.
After arranging the carriage, the middle-aged man personally took Qin Ran to Kateley's cemetery.
Or to be precise: the cemetery of the Wayne family.
Not far from the manor, at the bottom of a hillside.
The cemetery was guarded by two old men, and after seeing the middle-aged man, he immediately opened the gate of the cemetery as instructed, and Qin Ran followed behind the other party and stepped in.
"Your Highness, this is it."
The middle-aged man pointed to a tombstone and said.
Unlike other ordinary people, a tombstone and a deep catacomb.
Kateley's burial chamber, just behind the tombstone, is a burial chamber located above ground, and throughout the cemetery, there are about three such burial chambers.
Of these, this burial chamber in Kantley is the smallest.
It is 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2 meters high, and the exterior wall of each side is engraved with a coat of arms and patterns belonging to the Venn family.
"Those two are the two patriarchs of the previous one."
Seeing Qin Ran's gaze, the middle-aged man explained.
Qin Ran didn't pay any attention.
After entering the cemetery, Qin Ran entered the field of vision of [Tracking], and he was looking for the traces left by Kateley.
The other party is a 'dead man' and will not stay in the manor at all.
Even if there is a secret room or something in the manor, it will be very conspicuous for those people with the 'Revival Society' to come in and out.
And in the whole of Venn Manor, what could be more unobtrusive than here?
Especially in the dead of night, no one wants to come and see what is going on here.
Do you count on grave keepers?
When looking at the age of those two, no one would have had any expectations.
Soon, Qin Ran found the trace.
However, not near Kateley's burial chamber, but near the burial chamber of the first Earl of Wayne.
"Instead of choosing your own burial chamber, and not choosing the Earl of Vane, you chose the first Earl of Vane?"
Surprise appeared on Qin Ran's face.
There were one or two speculations in my mind.
Because, Qin Ran believes that Kateley's choice must have his own reasons.
As for what?
Just open it and take a look.
Before that, though, there's a bit of trouble to solve.
Qin Ran turned his head to look at the corner of the cemetery, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
