Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 018 Cunning Sherlock

On the third morning after Nock left the monastery, he returned to the monastery in the dust.

The reason why he didn't return until this day was because it took him almost two days to send the resentful spirits of the "Cred" villagers to the kingdom of God.

For this reason, Nock was chased and killed by the villagers' spirits on the second night, and fled until he was a few miles away from "Cred", before he asked the villagers' spirits to chase and kill him.

Taking advantage of the scorching sun of the next day, Nock finally overtook all the resentful spirits.

He also took the time to pull out some of the bones that had not been completely burned from the rubble of the village, dig a large pit, and bury them.

Eventually, Nock returned to England City with the wooden board on which the Sherlock Holmes emblem remained.

Naturally, the children of the monastery were overjoyed by Nock's return.

Lillian, who was originally listless, took the mischievous boys to the streets to buy ingredients for the evening to celebrate Nock's safe return.

Leaving the two girls, Ashley and Avril, to guard Nock, who had already gone to bed.

As Lillian expected, Nock slept straight into the afternoon, not even getting up for lunch.

As a result, when Nock opened his eyes, he saw five small heads surrounding him.

"Wake up, wake up. Brother Nock is awake! ”

Ashley, who was the first to notice Nock's eyes, shouted excitedly, sharing her findings with her companions.

Collowell was a little remorseful because he was not the first to notice that Nock had woken up because he had blinked with Hawks first.

He pounced on Nock's body and asked with concern, "Brother Nock, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Nock was almost crushed by Hawks's pounce, and immediately slapped Collower on the back of the head.

"Smack!" Colwell hurriedly hugged the head that was patted and looked at Nock who was doing it incomprehensibly.

Nock frightened him, "If you don't press it, I'll have nothing." Now, not necessarily. ”

"Did you hear that, Collowell, hurry up, you crushed Brother Nock!"

Avril nudged Clowell, and Hawkes quickly reached out to pull Clowell up.

Only Hywell looked thoughtfully at Nock, who seemed to be smiling, and then showed a sudden look.

Ignoring Collow, who was scrambling to climb off of him.

Nock looked at Ashley and asked, "Why are you all in my room, Lillian?" ”

Without waiting for Ashley to answer, Collowell on the side preemptively said, "The eldest sister is entertaining that annoying nasty ghost in the front yard." We're worried about Brother Nock, so we're here to take care of you. ”

In a simple sentence, Nock heard a lot of information from it.

First of all, there was a guest in the front yard, and it was coming a lot these days, and Lilian was entertaining him.

Secondly, Collow didn't like that person. Even, there was a conflict between the two.

In the end, the person who came was certainly not very old. Otherwise, Colwell could not have been this attitude.

Nock looked at Hawkes on the side and asked, "Hawkes, what the hell is going on?" In the past few days since I was away, someone at home was in trouble? ”

As the son of a businessman, Hawkes has been exposed to it since he was a child. Knowing that Nock was answering his questions objectively, rather than speaking with his own emotions and opinions like Collower.

Hawkes summed up what he wanted to say, and then slowly explained to Nock.

He said in a clear and coherent manner: "The morning after you went out, Brother Nock, a noble young master who claimed to be the Sherlock Holmes family came to visit you. But since you weren't at home, it was Lilian's sister who received him. Knowing that you weren't home, he left very quickly. ”

Hawkes glanced at Colwell casually, and then said, "But the next morning, just after dawn, the noble young master came again.

This time, he stayed all morning, and Sister Lillian had to put down her work and receive him all morning. ”

"Until Collowell couldn't look past it, and drove that young master away on the grounds that Sister Lillian needed to prepare lunch."

Speaking of which, Hawkes carefully observed Nock's reaction, and after finding that Nock was not angry, he boldly continued.

"Unexpectedly, we had just had lunch and were about to finish the work that had been delayed in the morning, when the noble young master came again."

Collow was so angry that he turned his face and drove people away. also quarreled with the noble young master. ”

Nock glanced at Collowell in surprise, only to see him turn his face to the side in disbelief.

It seems that the real situation is not as frivolous as Hawkes said.

Nock motioned for Hawkes to continue.

Hawkes hesitated for a moment, considered his words for a moment, and then said: "Sister Lilian, who arrived in a hurry, stopped the quarrel between the two and gave a simple explanation, and the noble young master gave us a gold coin compensation after knowing that we had delayed our work because of his arrival. ”

Collow, who was on the side, couldn't suppress his anger anymore and interrupted Hawks loudly.

"Humph! Is that compensation! That's charity! That's discrimination! He's insulting us with money! ”

Nock raised his hand and pointed at Colwell with a headache and scolded, "Shut up!" Don't be angry with Hawkes if you have a temper! What I need to know now is the truth! ”

Seeing Nock's anger, Colwell shut up and ran to the side to sulk alone.

Seeing this, Nock turned to Hawkes and said, "You go on." ”

Hawkes thought about it for a moment and simply left the rest to himself.

"Colwell felt that the noble young master was insulting us and wanted to do something to him, but Sister Lillian stopped and punished him.

Sister Lilian accepted the noble young master's compensation and received him for another afternoon. It wasn't until dinner time that the aristocratic young master left disappointed. ”

"We're all very happy that you're back this morning. Sister Lillian also prepares to make a big dinner in the evening to celebrate. I took a few of our boys to the street shopping. Leave Asley and Avril to guard your brother. ”

"As a result, when we came back from shopping, we saw the uninvited aristocratic young master, and he also walked into the backyard without permission."

"If it weren't for Ashley and Avril's obstruction, I guess he would have run to the building where his brother lives."

Sister Lillian was angry and unceremoniously drove him to the front yard. But Sister Lillian said that the man wanted to come to your brother.

Brother, if you're not at home, it's okay for her to call the shots. But my brother is back, and Sister Lillian can't make decisions for you, so she takes people to the front yard. ”

However, Sister Lilian did not tell the noble young master about her brother's return. Instead, let us watch over you until you wake up and tell you about it, and let you make up your own mind. ”

"Sister Lillian said, if you want to see that man, go to the front yard to see him. If she doesn't want to see that person, let Ashley find an excuse to go to the front yard to find her. She'll get rid of that guy. ”

After listening to Hawkes' description, Nock finally understood what had happened.

There is no need to guess, this annoying aristocratic young master must be the teenager Sherlock Holmes.

It's just that Nock didn't expect that the other party would continue to come to the door the day after entrusting him.

What does he mean by that?

Don't believe in yourself?

He did not go to investigate Ford's disappearance without permission, but he frequently visited the abbey.

It's not even right to break into the backyard without permission.

Thinking of this, a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed through Nock's mind.

"Oh! No! Did I fall for the Pygmon Shaman's aura of wisdom reduction? I didn't expect that! ”

Nock suddenly realized.

Any commission is an excuse!

That Sherlock deceived Nock!

He's not here to ask Nock for help!

Instead, he suspected that Nock had something to do with Ford's disappearance, and he came to investigate Nock!

The so-called commission is just a trick used to paralyze Nock and take Nok away!

All he wanted was to infiltrate the monastery and investigate to see if he could find any clues from Nock's residence!

It's just that he didn't expect that the children of the monastery would be so sensible.

When Nock wasn't at home, he didn't go out to play, but worked at home.

Even every time he came, Lillian would politely accompany him to receive him.

In this way, Collow's quarrel with him is also Sherlock's calculation.

After all, Sherlock, whom Nock came into contact with, was a polite and aristocratic teenager.

To make Clowell hate him and think that Sherlock is insulting him, Sherlock must have used drastic measures.

After all, Clowwell wasn't the one to get angry at someone giving him a coin.

When Father John died and Nock went into hiding for a few months, Colwell went to beg on the streets alone in order to keep the children of the convent alive.

In order to beg for a few copper coins, Coral not only knelt down, but was also spitted on, punched and kicked.

He can endure all this, how can he face a huge amount of compensation for a gold coin, but feel humiliated.

It must have been Sherlock who provoked Collowell while the others weren't looking.

Nock didn't doubt that Sherlock could do it.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy who can fool Nock on the fly, how could he not find Collow's weakness.

Maybe people saw the weaknesses of several people on the first day, and specifically chose Clowwell's move to break through.

In order to provoke conflicts among the children of the monastery.

It has to be said that Sherlock picked the right target.

As the oldest boy in the child, Colwell would not normally be able to convince Lillian of a girl.

If Sherlock was allowed to continue, with Clowell's temper, he might not have turned against Lillian.

It's just that Sherlock didn't calculate that Nock would come back so soon.

It was three days ahead of what Nock said.

Therefore, his calculations were doomed to fail.

Clowwell may not have taken Lillian seriously, but he didn't dare to challenge Nock's majesty.

Don't look at Clowell shouting Lillian "big sister", but Nock is his boss.

"Alright, Collow, I see what's going on. You fool, you don't even know if you've been calculated. Why, dare to be angry with Lilian, you have stiff wings and forgot what I said? ”

Colwell hurriedly shook his head: "No, no." I didn't! ”

"It's good if you don't have it! Remember, if you want to stay, you have to honor Lillian as you respect me.

Lillian is the adopted daughter of Father John, and all of us here are still living here because of Father John's sacrifice.

If you don't know gratitude, get out of here and fend for yourselves. In that case, I don't want to repeat it a second time! ”
