The "confession" processed by Nock bankrupted Alan and Edelman's plans.

After the arrival of the queen's car, the queen already knew what had happened.

After she got out of the car, she scolded Director Allen with a tough attitude and gave Erdman another soft nail.

This can be regarded as appeasing the people.

Then, in front of the crowd of onlookers, she announced on the spot that the two were not guilty.

And invited the two to come down and ride with her in her carriage, and go to the palace to rest.

Nock, who landed with the help of the royal knights, politely declined the queen's invitation in public.

He also said that as a priest of the monastery, he had his own place to go.

So, in front of everyone, he rented a carriage, took Sigurt into the carriage, and returned to the monastery.

It was only that night that I got the news that the natural church that had been ambushed around the monastery early had pounced in the monastery.

Nock Lane's room was cleaned up.

All personal belongings belonging to Nock Lane have been taken away.

Even in the study on the second floor, some important books and codexes have disappeared.

Only empty monasteries remain, waiting for the intrusion of the Church of Nature.

A month later.

In the annex of Elk Street.

Nock lay in Zola's vine hammock and looked at Sieg, who was practicing walking again.

Yes, practice.

Half a month ago, Nok successfully broke through to the silver level and became a clergyman with a career level of six.

With enough merit, within the Holy Church, one can already be promoted to the rank of bishop of the region.

After all, such a young silver-level priest can no longer be described as just young and promising.

Playing Nock knows that his leapfrog breakthrough is impossible to replicate.

If it weren't for the holy pact he had, if it weren't for the treasure he had stolen from Arthanos.

He couldn't induce the power that the Holy Lord had left in the contract to use them for his own use.

Fortunately, after the breakthrough, Nock learned the "Holy Light Redemption" that can regenerate his hands and feet with the codex left behind by the monastery.

This is a real miracle!

Many clergymen who have reached level 7 or even 8 may not be able to learn divine skills.

It stands to reason that "Holy Light Redemption" is a seventh-level skill, and Nok can't learn it at all.

But the rag-like treasure he had received from Salsanos had taught Nok how to simplify the technique.

Although after each use, Nock will be weakened for a day, but the effect is satisfactory enough.

Exchanging a day's weakness for a person's severed limbs and being reborn is simply a big deal!

Therefore, after mastering this magic skill, Nock spent three days helping Sig recover the severed limb.

However, the hands and feet of rebirth are somewhat incongruous.

If Sigur wants to regain control of them, he will have to practice and turn them into instincts.

"I said, Knock Boy, when are you two going to leave? Recently, Elizabeth has begun to doubt me. ”

Zola, who was lying on a vine as thick as a tree on the windowsill, shook her smooth feet boringly, sulking at the snow outside the window.

As an elf, she really doesn't like the lifeless winter.

If it's okay in the Emerald Collar, the Emerald Collar has the power of the Emerald Dragon and the Elven Tree, and the seasons are like spring.

But not in the outside world, even if she has spent dozens of winters in the Lionheart Kingdom, she will still feel bored.

"It's coming. It's not snowing! In addition, the natural church is keeping an eye on it, and it will not give us a chance to leave! ”

"Wait for Brother Sig......"

Sig, who was practicing walking, suddenly interjected, "My name is Leo now, Leo Gareth. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes——, sorry I forgot, it's not that I'm not used to it."

Nock reluctantly perfunctory, Nassi ...... Leo didn't have a point.

After Nock was reborn from his severed limb, he woke up one day to see Leo sitting on the edge of his bed loudly announcing to him that he had changed his name to Leo Gareth.

Nock asks why, and Leo says that Sig Holmes was stabbed to death by Sherlock Holmes on the day of the High Court.

He is the reborn Leo Gareth, and he will be Nock's guardian knight in the future, and his life is only to protect Nock.

Leo's words frightened Nok at that time.

Even if Nock persuaded him many times, he couldn't change his mind.

Even, just last night, Leo brought in Lady Zora to witness Leo's allegiance to Nock in person.

Nock, who didn't have any title, could only give Leo to be his own guardian knight in his own name.

Zola persuaded Nock to complete the ritual for Leo in the name of the Rose family, but Nock refused.

Leo was reborn, and for Nock, why not?

He witnessed firsthand how the queen who planned to make Sieg the ghost of the dead was forced to retract his decision in the face of public pressure and declare himself and Sieg Holmes innocent in accordance with the "popular will".

Others don't know, but the queen, who has already made Nock and Leo clear, can't be unaware that Nock lied at the time.

Leo is the murderer of the Baker Street serial murders.

But under Nock's performance and the miracles he created, the queen chose to bow her head and back down.

Nock understood that the queen was extremely angry at the time, but she was able to smile and welcome people in the face of extreme anger.

This ability to disguise made him afraid.

So, faced with the queen's invitation, Nock refused.

Even went back to the monastery under the pretext of taking Leo to play missing.

The queen had also wondered if Nock was hiding in the courtyard, and had even been here twice.

But he was dodged by Nock and Sieg.

Because the two have been living in the dungeon, how could the queen, who never enters the study, find out about the two of them?

It's not that the queen doesn't know about the existence of the dungeon, but she can't imagine that someone who doesn't live in a good room will go to live in the dungeon!

With Zola's cover, the two naturally easily concealed the queen and her eyeliner.

Straight to the point.

Nock heard Zola's question and replied, "When Leo is free, we should leave." It won't be long. ”

"Why, you're in such a hurry to get us away?"

Zola replied lazily, "Not really, but my agreement with Elizabeth is only a few months away." There were still two years to go, but because Elizabeth made a few more unreasonable demands to me, I made an appointment in exchange for a time. ”

Nock replied indifferently, "Oh. ”

Now Zola was not happy: "Aren't you curious about what she asked me for?" ”

"Not curious."

"Really?"

"Really."

"You're boring, not like a young man at all."

"Hehe, I'm not as curious as some young people who are hundreds of years old."

Nock's complaining didn't make Zora care.

She's an elf, not a human, and she doesn't care much about her age.

Besides, even if she is 800 years old, she still looks as young and beautiful as she is now.

Her strength has reached the saint level, and her lifespan has been extended from an average age of eight hundred years to one thousand and five hundred years.

This long period of time can even make a civilization from birth to destruction.

How could she care about the change in age?

"I'm going to be out of here soon. I've been here for a long time, and I'm bored, and I always want to go back to the Emerald Collar. ”

"But when I really wanted to leave, I suddenly couldn't bear it."

Listening to Zola's sigh, Nock smiled and explained, "Don't be too emotional. As a long-lived species, your experience here is just the tip of the glacier of your long life. Maybe one day you will be forgotten in some corner. However, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to the Emerald Collar to see you. ”

"Forget it. You can't get in. Even if you enter, you will have to face the wrath of the emerald dragon. I don't want to collect your body. ”

Well, thinking about the dragon slayer knights in history, the relationship between humans and dragons is not too harmonious.

Some dragons hate humans, and some even become evil dragons in the mouths of humans, taking pleasure in killing people.

The jade-collared dragon seems to belong to the kind that doesn't like humans.

"In a few months, then we will be ahead of you. When this snow is over, maybe we'll leave. ”

"But after Charisma?" (Similar to Christmas days.) ）

"No! For the two of us who are homeless, there is no point in not having a holiday. ”

Nock didn't care about it, but Zora didn't know how bitter Nock was when he said this.

Even Leo, who didn't care about anything, paused when he heard this.

"Well, how are you going to leave? I guess you won't be able to leave the port, Elizabeth has been patrolling there, she won't let you leave easily, and she wants you to be her heir. ”

"Hehe, then let her wait slowly."

"That's the throne, you really don't care?"

"It's just a cage of power, and I don't want to be trapped in it."

"Well, you look sober, more sober than any other human I've ever seen. I've seen several kings. ”

"Oh."

The conversation between the two ended in a dull way.

Outside the window, there is a goose-feather snow, which has long turned the city into a white world.

The houses of England were covered with heavy quilts.

Nock looked at the blurred light outside the window, his eyes full of confusion.

Although he and Zola are both the ones who are leaving.

But unlike Zola, she has her own destination.

She has a home to go back to.

There are families waiting for her to be reunited.

But Nock didn't know where he would go when he left here.

Home from all over the world?

Or do you want to find a village to settle down?

He didn't know.

He only knows that one of his decisions is related to the fate of two people.

He, and Leo.

The road ahead is confused, and no one can be his guiding light.

There was no one to light the way forward.

Instead, he had to shoulder the responsibility of carrying a lantern to lead the way.

It is the road of light,

It's still an abyss.

All of them need him, the person in charge of the lamp, to control them.

Because, he controls not only the fate of Nock Lane.

And the life of his follower, Leo Gareth!
