Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 019 Nock's Temptation
The five children present were all a little scared in the face of the angry Nock, and no one spoke up in this situation.
Nock wasn't really angry.
He understood Clowwell's thoughts.
Don't look at him as the oldest of the boys.
But it's also the most thoughtful.
He had been at the monastery for the shortest time, and he was already very old and had his own opinions.
On the surface, he was close to the children of the monastery, but Nock knew that he actually looked down on the children of the convent.
It's just that the worship of Nock in his heart has suppressed his other thoughts.
Therefore, for the sake of Nock's face, he pretended to fit in with the monastery community.
But from the way he made Lilian angry from time to time and called Lilian "big sister", it is not difficult to see that he did not really integrate into the group of children of the convent at all.
But if he had any bad intentions for the children of the convent, Nock knew no.
Otherwise, when Nock didn't do anything at the beginning, Collowell could have walked away.
With his character and ability, it is not difficult to survive alone.
But he went to beg for the other children of the convent, and with the income from the begging he fed the little ones.
Whether it was for Nock's sake or for the sake of his acceptance of the monastery.
At least, Nock knew that Colwell wasn't a bad boy.
It's just that Collow, who has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, even if he has experienced changes, and the children of the convent must still have a sense of superiority psychologically.
This sense of superiority can cause Colwell to contradict the group from time to time.
Nock didn't want to see a gap between the kids in the future.
After all, Nock can't be with them forever.
That's why there was the previous scene.
Nock is trying to kill all the bad signs.
"Okay, you guys stay and reflect on it, I'll go and meet the 'young master' in front of me!"
Nock didn't even change his clothes, he was still wearing the dirty clothes, bringing the wooden planks he had brought back, and he looked like a "dusty man" and walked towards the front yard.
The few children left behind let out a sigh of relief and glared at Collow.
Hywell and Avril have been brought up by Lillian since they were infants, so they are naturally closest to Lillian and Nock.
Essley grew up in the abbey at the age of three, and although she was timid and cowardly, she also had the deepest affection for the abbey. It was also the one who was most afraid of being kicked out of the monastery.
But she is also the most observant, even more careful than Hawkes, who aspires to be a businessman.
Therefore, she could see that Nock was faking anger, but she didn't understand Nock's intentions, and could only look at Collow with anxiety.
Hawkes' reaction was the calmest.
Although he was only seven years old, he was the last to join the monastery.
Having experienced being abandoned by a caravan, he has long understood a truth.
It is better to rely on others than on yourself.
Even if he was abandoned by the monastery one day, he would not be too sad.
After all, the monastery was able to take him in, and it was already benevolent.
If the monastery abandons him, it means that he has no value for himself, and no one else is to blame.
That's what Hawkes really thinks.
So in the past two years, Ali, he has not deliberately shown himself.
While observing the rest of the monastery, he is also silently doing his duty.
Unbeknownst to the rest of the convent, Hawkes was secretly planning to do the other thing.
Not only did he hide food privately, but he also used his own means to secretly hide the coins he earned in his "treasure trove" when he was out to "play".
In the event that one day the monastery was dissolved, or he himself was expelled, he would use the "wealth" he had saved to find another way.
Therefore, he is the person who is not afraid of the "threat" of Nock.
As long as the people of the monastery did not betray him, Hawkes would not have betrayed the convent first.
Even Nock didn't see this in Hawks' thoughts.
The careful thinking of the little ones in the backyard, Nock is not clear.
He was already thinking about how to deal with that cunning Sherlock.
The disappearance of Ford Holmes should be real.
There was no need for Sherlock to fool Nock with this.
Then the plank of "Cred" is very likely to be related to the disappearance of Ford Holmes.
Do you want to tell Sherlock the truth?
Is the purpose of his investigation to suspect that he has something to do with the disappearance of Ford Holmes?
Or is it a trick of the Sherlock Holmes family, trying to calculate themselves.
For a while, Nock thought a lot.
Or maybe the Sherlock Holmes are just outposts of some people who are going to dig a pit and jump in!
Nock thought of a possibility, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"It seems that there are some people who don't die in the heart of my monastery!"
Nock didn't know if he was right, but that didn't stop him from trying.
Right, try it and you'll find out.
Parvis.
In a single-story building next to the church, Lillian is entertaining Sherlock Holmes.
It's just that her attitude today is not as friendly as the previous two days.
This kind of uninvited guest who sneaks in while others are not at home is not so much a guest as a thief who breaks through an empty door.
If it weren't for the identity of the other party's nobleman that made Lilian jealous, Lilian would now want to beat him out with a broom, where would she need to accompany him here.
Sherlock looked at Lilian, who had been sitting across from him for a long time, ignoring herself and not being served tea by herself, and couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in her heart.
Sherlock said with a snort: "Lady Rhine, you won't even give me a cup of tea, this is the hospitality of your monastery?" ”
Lilian replied displeasedly, "We are a convent with only a group of orphans, and we can't afford tea that only nobles can drink. There is a glass of water, but I guess the guests are not used to drinking it, so it is better not to waste it. ”
Lilian's words were very unkind, especially on the word "distinguished guest", and she bit it hard, almost saying the unwelcome on her face.
Sherlock was angry.
Although his father was only a baron, not yet a hereditary title, a nobleman was a nobleman.
In all these years, no civilian dared to speak to him like that.
Untouchables are indeed untouchables, and if you give a little sunshine, it will shine.
"Lady Rhine, you are so rude! My father is a baron! It's aristocrats! You have to kneel down and apologize to me! Otherwise, the laws of the kingdom will let you know that the privileges of the nobility are not to be provoked! ”
Perhaps because he felt that Nock was not at home and that he had no scruples, Sherlock directly tore his face and threatened Lillian.
"You! Shameless! ”
Lilian didn't expect Sherlock to tear her face directly and use her status as a nobleman to oppress her.
After all, Sherlock's performance in the first two days gave Lillian the illusion of being polite.
"Oh, young gentleman, bullying a young lady is not a gentleman's behavior."
Nock strode in, interrupting Sherlock Holmes' aggressive face.
Sherlock was shocked and pointed at Nock who suddenly appeared: "Why are you here!" ”
Ignoring Sherlock, who was shocked by his presence, Nock continued sarcastically.
"If I'm not mistaken, in the Sherlock Holmes family, only your father holds a knighthood. And his barony is not hereditary, so even if you are his son, you are only a commoner. ”
Speaking of which, Nock lowered his body in front of Sherlock, who had been panicked earlier, looked down at Sherlock's flustered face contemptuously, and questioned disdainfully.
"Excuse me, you commoner, who gave you the courage to pretend to be a nobleman to oppress the people of the kingdom? And it's the believers of the Holy Lord who are bullying! ”
"Let me guess who gave you the confidence, Her Majesty? Or Bishop Angel of the Cult of Deity? It's okay, you speak out boldly, maybe I'll apologize for Lillian when I'm scared. ”
"Don't worry, I won't go out and tell people that it was the Queen and Bishop Angel who gave you the right to pretend to be a nobleman and make the people of the kingdom kneel down to you as a commoner. I promise. ”
Nock smiled and pressed Sherlock's shoulder, preventing him from getting up from his seat.
Sherlock, who was held down by Nok, had long been frightened by Nock's heart-wrenching words.
He never thought that his father was a nobleman, and he, as the son of his father, could not enjoy the rights of a nobleman!
At the end of the day, Sherlock was still too young and had too little experience.
was stolen by Nock and was frightened.
If Sherlock had been the son of some hereditary aristocratic family, he would never have been intimidated by Nock's words.
The children of the nobility can naturally enjoy the treatment of the nobility and exercise the rights of the nobility.
But the Sherlock Holmes family started as a merchant family, even if a baron emerged, but because the time was too short, he only learned the style of the aristocracy, but he did not have the background of the nobility.
Therefore, when he was so frightened by Nock, he suddenly ran out of ideas.
What's more, Nock involved both the queen and the bishop of the Cult of Nature God, which he could afford as a twelve-year-old "baby"?
If these two big men knew that they had made them carry the black cauldron, they would have to peel off his Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock was out of confidence, and he quickly defended himself: "You...... Don't talk nonsense! I...... I just asked her to apologize to me! How can it be related to the queen and the noble bishop! ”
Seeing Sherlock lose his temper like this, Nock was disappointed.
It seems that there is no need to test this little ghost, the psychological quality is so poor, how can it be a spy sent by those people.
"Young sir, you are sitting on the territory of the Holy Lord, trying to bully his followers under the watchful eye of the Holy Lord. Are you trying to provoke our Holy Church?
Or do you Holmes feel that our Holy Church is not worthy of being an eyesore in England, and you want to eradicate us for the Natural Church? ”
Nock suddenly reached out with a fierce expression and pinched Sherlock's chin, pulling his pale smile towards himself, making the other person look at him.
Nock sneered: "Even the Natural Church doesn't dare to openly wage war against us, do you Holmes want to take the place of the Natural Church and launch a holy war against our Holy Church!" If yes, I admire you and your family's courage! ”
Nock's words, like a thunderbolt, directly scared the young Sherlock stupid.
Sherlock let out a "wow" and cried in fright.
