Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 007 The Murderer of Baker Street

Disappointed, Nok returned from the black market.

Although he safely brought back six bottles of high-grade nutrition elixir, he still couldn't be happy.

Even if you walk on the road, you are frowning.

Ariadord the Minotaur helped Nock see the portrait he had brought.

But the minotaur said that he did not recognize the race of the monster in the portrait.

That monster should not be a subhuman, but a monster.

Nock didn't have too many doubts about the Minotaur's words.

Others may think that the Minotaur is just a reckless Minotaur warrior.

But Nock knew that Arriadotus, a cunning fellow, was a minotaur shaman.

That's the top of the orc clan, equivalent to the nobility of the human race.

If the other party says they don't know each other, then there is a high probability that this monster is not a sub-human race.

As for why Nock didn't suspect that Arriadot was lying to him.

That's because he saved Arriadotus's life, and even the name was chosen by Nock for the Minotaur.

Aryadotus's real name seems to be called What Wind and Hoof, but Nock felt embarrassed, so he named him Ariadorus.

The relationship between the two is not as bad as it seems, but it is the trend of the times and is played for people in the black market.

So, Nock did not doubt the truth of Ariador's words.

There is no need for the other party to lie to him on such a trivial matter.

Because, the trade between the Minotaur and Nock is not just as superficial as magic materials.

The Minotaur can't do without Nock's help in some things.

Easily, the Minotaur would not betray Nok.

"Looks like we'll have to see the monster for myself this time."

Nock touched the feverish nutritional potion in his arms, and made a decision in his heart.

Sixty gold coins were spent, and there were forty gold coins and eighteen silver coins on his body.

Enough for the next half a year, as long as there is no emergency to use money, if you are frugal, the expenses of one or two years are enough.

However, several children have a serious deficit, even if they drink nutritional pills to make up for the foundation, they still need food supplements to supplement the missing nutrients.

Therefore, forty gold coins is really not enough.

As for the fifty gold coins in the secret compartment at home, they are reserved for emergencies.

There is no need to worry about money in a short time, then he will have time to solve the problem for Ford Holmes.

Although he coaxed Holmes out of the money, things still had to be done.

He Nock is not a man who takes money and does nothing.

What's more, the other party is a believer in "Qian Cheng", the kind of money that has no amount of money.

Befriending each other is a wise choice.

Nok generously spent five silver coins to buy four cans of jam with fifty copper coins each, and bought two silver coins of bacon, which weighed ten pounds, enough for a week's oil and water in the welfare house, and bought one silver coin of white bread.

This is the feast prepared by Nock.

It's not that Nock can't afford anything better.

It's that the children are very empty, and if they eat too much good things at once, their stomachs will not be able to stand it.

These foods are nothing more than excessive foods.

When the children's bodies are raised, white bread and jam will be arranged every day, as will milk. There are also steaks or lamb chops.

These children of ordinary families have it, and the children of the monastery must have it.

Without this hole in nutritional potions, even if there were no big customers like Mr. Holmes in the future, Nock would make enough money to afford such consumption.

After all, Nock is also a man who can earn a few gold coins to a dozen gold coins a month.

Happily accompanied the children to enjoy a delicious meal.

Delicious white bread and jam will keep the kids coming back for more.

The broth of the bacon stew made the children almost swallow their tongues.

Such a picture made Nock very emotional, and he also felt that he had a great responsibility.

With the exception of Ashley, who was abandoned at the age of three, and the Hywell siblings, who were thrown at the door of the monastery at birth, the other children actually ate more delicious food.

After all, before they became orphans, they all had happy families.

But now it's just a little bacon stew, and they all eat it with relish.

Over the years, this group of children has suffered a lot.

But Nock didn't say anything sensational.

After handing over Lillian thirteen silver coins, ignoring the little girl's surprised gaze, Nock asked the little ones to quickly clean up the dining table, and then take a bath and sleep.

He himself went back to the bedroom, and after stuffing the bag of gold coins into the drawer of his desk, he felt a little uneasy, counted ten gold coins in his hand, went to the study on the second floor, and hid the gold coins in the pages of several scriptures.

These books are all books that Lillian is studying.

Nock became a priest, and Lilian aspired to be a nun, so she is now studying hard.

It's just that in the past year, in order to take care of a few small ones, Lilian's learning progress has been delayed, and the time to read books is intermittent.

Nock hid the gold coins in his book, also just in case.

After all, he wandered in the night, and not every time he was so lucky that he could return safely.

Preparing for the unexpected is also a measure.

After going to the backyard to wash away the fatigue of the day, Nock lay quietly on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Originally, at this time, if you can go to the backyard bathhouse for a dip, it will be the most comfortable.

Unfortunately, the bathhouse was too much of a luxury for a monastery with only seven children.

Cleaning the bathhouse, filling the bathhouse with boiling water, changing the water in the bathhouse after washing, and cleaning it up are all huge consumptions.

In the past, when the monastery was siblings, this consumption was nothing.

But for the current monastery, it is even more extravagant than eating steak every day.

In a daze, Nock heard the midnight bell.

There is still an hour before midnight, and this time is better for [Ripper] to be active.

Nock quickly put on his clothes.

This time, he was wearing a priest's robe, and he still wore the expensive cloak over it.

However, this time Nock did not bring a Bible, but took out a cloth bag from the drawer, opened the cloth bag, inserted the two items inside into his waist on the left and right, and hid them in a wide cloak.

In addition to these two things, Nock also went to the study on the second floor, pulled out a book from the hidden corner of the bookshelf, took out a dagger with a silver glow and a patterned scabbard from the hollowed out book, and put it in his arms.

With these preparations in place, Nock quietly slipped over the walls of the monastery and out of the back streets of the monastery.

Avoiding the night patrols, Nock soon found himself on Baker Street.

He stood on the top of the tallest building on Baker Street, overlooking Baker Street, which was drenched in dim light.

At this time, the vicinity of Baker Street was quiet, except for the occasional footsteps of patrolmen passing by with dogs, there was no movement.

After all, there have been so many murders, even the most daring women dare not walk alone on Baker Street at night.

However, if the murderer wants to commit a crime, he will always get a chance.

After all, women are not only on the streets!

Daisy Green is a young single woman who recently moved out of her home despite her parents' objections because she was in love with a man named Jim Hudson. He is currently renting an apartment on Baker Street.

Tonight's date with Mr. Hudson stirred her spirits.

Mr. Hudson, who is gentle and eloquent, is simply her ideal marriage partner.

Especially the deep kiss before parting, which made her almost lost in the arms of the other party.

Fortunately, the only sanity she had left allowed her to refuse Mr. Hudson's request to go upstairs and sit down.

However, Daisy, who was lying in the room, felt regret and uneasiness because of her refusal just now.

I wonder if Mr. Hudson will be bothered by his rejection and feel that he does not like him?

Daisy tossed and turned in bed for this reason.

But she didn't know that outside her bedroom window, a dark shadow had been lying there watching her for a long time.

The black shadow was already lying on the windowsill at some point, you know, Daisy lives on the third floor, seven or eight meters from the ground!

The black shadow's eyes were red, and a painful, faint murmur came from his throat: "Bad woman...... Bad woman! ”

"Roar! Bad women deserve to die! ”

The shadow suddenly screamed like a frenzy, alarming Daisy, who was sleepless on the bed.

"Ahh

Daisy screamed when she turned around and saw a pair of red eyes in the window when she heard the roar.

"Whoa!"

Daisy's screams irritated the shadow, and it smashed the window with a punch and burst into the room.

"Help!"

Daisy screamed and rolled under the bed, dodging the monster's pounce.

Boom!

The bed was crushed by the onswooping of the shadows, and Daisy on the ground finally saw the true face of the shadows that were close at hand.

"Ahh Monster ——! ”

Daisy was startled, and she was so frightened that she fainted all of a sudden.

It's really the monster in front of you that's too scary.

A pair of red eyes hung on a face the size of a basin, and under the nose of the ugly pig was a large mouth with two fangs exposed.

I don't know if it's a beard or a hair, maybe it's lying on its stomach at this time, and it's dragged to the floor.

A pair of limbs that I don't know if they were arms or forelimbs, with claws longer than a blade, were gesturing towards Daisy, as if choosing which part to start with.

He had a pair of hind limbs that resembled hooves and legs, but lacked the claws of his forelimbs.

But a thick and muscular tail was flexibly flung against the wall, smashing the wall into "whip marks".

As early as Daisy screamed, Nock, who heard the movement, began to act.

And the patrol officer on the street, led by the hound, rushed towards Daisy's apartment.

But as ordinary people, they are finally one step slower than Nock.

When they arrived at the apartment and knocked on the door, Daisy's room was empty.

Except for the mess and a broken window, nothing was left in the room.

The tenant of the room, Daisy Green, has long been nowhere to be found.

Not to mention how the patrol officers are busy investigating in the apartment.

However, when Nok arrived at the scene for the first time, he just jumped in through the window and saw the monster with its claws raised and ready to dig out its heart and lungs.

Well, it was the hearts and lungs of the women on the ground that were pulled.

So, Nock didn't talk nonsense and went straight to it.

Nock pulled out the dagger in his arms, and without thinking about it, threw it at the monster's back.

Poof!

The dagger entered the body, and the monster let out a miserable scream, and fell directly on the collapsed bed in pain.

Seeing this, Nock was overjoyed and wanted to step forward and deliver a fatal blow to the monster.

After all, when the dark creature was hit by the Mithril dagger, it was like a red-hot charcoal falling into the water, and it didn't boil, but it was left with a lot of pain!

However, Nock had only taken a step forward, and he regretted it.

A breaking sound slammed into the back of his head, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only desperately pounce on the ground in front of him.

Bang!

A tremendous force was pumped against Nock's back.

No, it's not that the cloak and priest's robe on his body are all high-grade goods enchanted with a defensive circle, I'm afraid that this time, it will cost him half his life!

But even with these defenses, the huge impact still burned his internal organs, and his eyes were full of stars.

As soon as it was delayed, the monster that was originally howling on the ground took the opportunity to pick up the unconscious woman on the ground, endured the pain in her back, and jumped out of the window!
