"Wait!"

Nock caught up with Anna Holmes at the monastery gates.

"Madame, your cloak."

Nock looked at Anna, who was blocked by the door, and handed over the cloak in his hand.

In my heart, I secretly praised myself for my habit of closing the door at any time when I went in and out.

If it weren't for Anna's inability to open the iron door, Nock would probably have run away by the time she chased him out.

Anna didn't dare to look at Nock, so she leaned sideways to take the cloak and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Nock looked at the empty street outside the door and couldn't help but frown.

He approached Anna and whispered to Anna, who was putting on her cloak, "Madame, it's late at night. You go back alone, it's not safe on the road. Why don't you wait for me, I'll change your clothes and send you back. ”

Changing clothes is fake, bringing weapons is real.

It was already midnight, and even Nock didn't dare to walk down the street with his bare hands.

How could he rest assured that Anna was a woman walking alone on the street.

"No...... No need. My carriage was waiting at the corner of the street, and I just didn't want the rest of my family to know that I was looking for you, so I got off at the corner of the street. ”

Anna has a posture of "I don't want you to send it", and Nock is not easy to force.

He opened the iron door, sent Anna out the door, and followed him out.

"Well, then, I'll accompany you to the street, and when I see you in the carriage, I'll come back. What do you think? ”

Anna looked at the dark tree-lined streets, shrunk her neck in fear, and nodded.

"Let's go, then."

Seeing that Anna agreed, Nock took the lead and cleared the way for Anna.

However, Nock regretted not carrying a lamp out.

The boulevard is now home to only one of the convents, and the others have long since moved under pressure.

Therefore, the street looks desolate at night and is not as lively as the street next door.

Anna silently followed, her head bowed, looking sullen.

Nock walked and walked, and couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, so he said: "This street is too desolate, the road is so dark, are you afraid?" ”

Anna behind her whispered, "No... No. ”

Nock chuckled and said softly, "It's okay to be afraid, I have a way." ”

"Lord Almighty, use your light to break through the darkness and show the way forward for your believers."

"Illumination!"

A ball of light slowly rose from Nock's palm, illuminating the surroundings and brightening them up.

Anna, who was following behind Nock, paused, pursed her red lips, and said timidly, "Actually, you don't have to waste your divine power to do this kind of thing. It's just a short walk, and we'll be there if we walk faster. ”

Hearing this, Nock looked back at Anna, who had hidden her face under the hood, and smiled, "It's okay, ma'am." It is my honor to serve you, and there is nothing to waste that is not wasted. Even if the Holy Lord knew, he would approve of me doing so. ”

Looking at Nock who was behaving in front of her, Anna was in a bit of a laughing mood.

If the Holy Lord knows that some of his followers use the power he has given him to please women, he is afraid that he will wake up and send down the divine punishment to kill this shameless fellow!

In this way, under the illumination of the illumination, the two of them saw the street intersection not far away.

The whole process took about ten minutes.

Obviously, it was only a two- or three-minute journey, but it was dragged by Nock grinding for ten minutes.

"All right, Father Nock, go back, my carriage is over there, and it's not good to be seen."

Seeing the street entrance, Anna pointed to the carriage in the shadow on one side of the street.

Nock looked at the headlights hanging at the corner of the street (the oil lamps hung outside the carriages, which were used by the coachmen to light the road). ), stopped.

"Well, then I won't send you. Go over on your own. Don't worry, I will do what I promised you, tomorrow. I'll find a way to get your nephew to stop investigating Mr. Holmes' disappearance. ”

With Nock's assurance, Anna was in a better mood.

"Well, thank you. Then I'll go first, and you should go back early. Good night. ”

"Good night."

After saying goodbye, Anna Holmes hurried to the carriage, opened the door and sat in.

Soon, the carriage slowly started and ran towards the east of the city.

That's the direction in which Sherlock Holmes Manor is located.

The east of the city is the rich district, and the north of the city is the aristocratic district.

It is the most prosperous and largest area in England City.

The east gate in the eastern part of the city has an important road to the port.

The northern part of the city is the closest to the royal palace.

Behind the aristocratic district is the royal palace of the Lionheart Kingdom.

Seeing Anna's carriage determine, Nock dispelled the illumination, turned and disappeared into the darkness, heading towards the monastery.

He didn't activate the defense of the house when he went out just now, and it would be troublesome if a ghost thing with eyes sneaked in.

He was also a ghost, and he didn't activate the defense at home when he went out.

When Nock rushed back, everything was fine at home.

In fact, it is also Nock who cares about chaos, and now the monastery, even thieves are unwilling to patronize, let alone other strange things.

Nock locked the door and turned off the lights in the reception room before returning to his bedroom in the backyard.

Throwing the blood-stained handkerchief onto the table, Nock was about to blow out the lamp and sleep.

"Roar!"

A roar of rage reached Nock's ears.

The originally lazy Nock suddenly became energetic.

"It's him!"

Although the sound is faint, it seems to be a bit far from here.

But Nock recognized the wistful voice.

"[Ripper], you're finally showing up!"

Nock excitedly opened the drawer, took out the weapons and equipment inside and put it on his waist, then opened the wardrobe, grabbed a coat and a newly bought cloak, quickly put it on, and went directly to the roof through the window.

After carefully discerning the direction in which the sound was coming from, Nock leaped high from the roof and jumped into the air.

"O elves of the night sky, listen to the whispers of the wind, lend me your power, and turn it into my wings."

"Feather Fall!"

"Whew!"

A faint blue light flashed on Nock's body, turning into a black shadow and disappearing into the air.

St. James's Gardens, which was the private domain of the Archduke of St. James.

It is said to be a large garden, but it is actually a place made up of a large lake and two small islands.

It is the place where the Grand Duke of St. James kept animals for hunting, and generally entered here, except for the servants of the Grand Duke's house, and only the guests who were invited to participate in the Grand Duke's hunting activities.

But tonight, it's certainly not the guests who break in.

An out-of-control carriage is running wild on the small bridge of the lake.

But the driver on the frame is long gone.

In the carriage, it was Anna Holmes with an ugly look.

"Roar!"

With a roar, an ugly-looking monster chased after the carriage frantically, constantly approaching the carriage.

Anna was nervous and regretful.

It was all to blame for Nock's procrastination, and she chose to pass by the large garden in a hurry, hoping to get back to Sherlock Holmes Manor before midnight.

But she never expected that the carriage would only leave the boulevard and turn into the Champs-Écoupés, and her carriage would be attacked.

The coachman was thrown off the carriage in a panic, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Frightened, the horse changed direction and broke into the back garden of the Archduke of St. James.

It's empty, and it's uninhabited.

Except for the servants who guard the gate on a daily basis, there are no outsiders to be seen at all.

Even if Anna wanted to ask for help, there was no way.

If she's on the streets of the city, she might be able to call for help to attract patrols, or professionals who like to wander around at night.

But now, she's either sitting and waiting for the carriage to roll over or be overtaken by the monsters.

Or, find a way to stop the carriage yourself and fight the monster alone.

"Roar! Stop-down! ”

The monster's angry roar was heard, and it had already burst into the back of the carriage not far away.

What's more, this monster can actually talk!

Anna didn't seem surprised that the monster was able to speak, though.

"Huh!"

Anna opened the window of the carriage and looked behind it.

I saw that a few meters behind the carriage, the monster was running fast "dong dong", looking at its speed, it would soon catch up with Anna's carriage.

"Woohoo!"

Seeing Anna's face, the monster was so excited that it sped up and sprinted for a distance, and then leaped.

"Boom!"

The monster actually jumped on the top of the carriage!

"Catch-to-you-——!"

The monster seemed excited, grabbing the roof of the car with both paws, poking its head out of the window and looking inside.

"Die!"

"Bang!"

A black object smashed into the monster's head, causing the monster to stun for a short time.

The monster was limp and dizzy on the roof of the car.

Because of the bumps in the carriage, the dizzy monster slowly slid out of the carriage.

Just as Anna in the carriage was about to take her next move, Nock's voice suddenly sounded in the night sky.

"Madame! Don't be afraid! I'm coming! ”

The Nok Divine Soldier fell from the sky and landed impartially on the roof of the carriage.

"Sure enough, it's you! [Ripper]! You've reappeared! Suffer death! If you dare to choose your wife as a target, I will definitely not let you go! ”

Nock let out an agitated reluctance, and then kicked the monster in the face, kicking the monster off the roof of the carriage and into the lake under the bridge.

"Whoa!"

The monster slammed into the lake.

The icy waters of the lake awaken the monster.

The monster hurriedly paddled in the water and floated to the surface of the lake.

But this delay, the carriage also ran away.

Originally, after kicking the monster out of the car, Nock planned to pursue the monster.

But finding that the carriage was out of control and the driver was missing, Nock had to give up the pursuit, flipped off the roof of the car, and sat in the driver's seat.

Nock grabbed the horse's reins and loudly comforted Anna in the carriage.

"Madame, rest assured, I'm Nock Lane. I'll keep you safe. I'll stop the carriage now! Don't be afraid! ”

Hearing Nock's voice, Anna, who was originally gloomy in the carriage, finally showed a smile.

However, she did not talk at this time, but was busy in the carriage.

"Phew—"

After the carriage ran off the bridge in the lake, Nock hurriedly tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.

Nock then jumped out of the carriage and approached the two horses pulling the cart, stretching out his hands to caress their heads and soothe them.

"It's okay, it's okay. Be obedient and don't panic. ”

Perhaps Nock's words worked, and the two horses actually calmed down.
