Mok Town is the town that Nock and the others inquired about with the village chief in the village before.

It is less than thirty miles from the village.

The mayor is a nobleman, and the town is also the mayor's fief.

Originally, this nobleman was not the mayor of the town, but he was too wasteful to be the mayor of the town.

Unable to make the town better, the nobleman was unable to receive enough taxes.

In a fit of rage, the nobles dismissed the previous mayor and became the mayor themselves.

Characteristic industries have been set up in the town.

Although I dare not say how prosperous the town is,

But it can be regarded as pulling the economy up, making his personal pockets more than ten times.

Passing merchants, when passing through here, often lingered.

No way, the characteristic industry here lies in its special "color"!

Looking at all kinds of tavern flags, but at the door are all kinds of taverns and dancers,

Even Richelieu couldn't help but open the window and watch.

Not to mention the three guards sitting outside the carriage, their eyes were overwhelmed.

Even the heads of the shops passing by.

Well, it's the heads of the wine girls and dancers at the door,

It's about the feet of those white flowers.

Anyway, it's not just the three of them.

The other men on the street did the same.

Even, when they heard the high talk next to them, the strange men exchanged a knowing look with each other.

Men, it is inevitable that they have some common hobbies.

With a common hobby, even strangers can cherish each other.

Nock was not interested in the beautiful scenery on the side of the road.

Not why, because he sensed Philip's breath.

That stubborn vampire didn't stay in the broken church in Colora,

Instead, they caught up.

Obviously, he wanted Nock's explanation!

Fortunately, that guy still had scruples, and he didn't stupidly rush out to question Nock.

Otherwise, Richelieu knew that Nock had a relationship with a vampire,

I'm afraid that if Ren Nock says it, Richelieu will break off his friendship with Nock.

Because, that is no longer a "big gamble" that Richelieu can risk participating in.

To associate with dark creatures is to betray the Church and to fall into depravity.

Even the pope would be deposed by the church and besieged en masse.

Not to mention a mere bishop.

There have been examples of this kind of thing in the church!

If nothing else, let's just say that Father Dante, who put an end to the Black Death,

Is it true that the church is too good to tolerate him?

No! According to the codex that Nock saw, the priest was said to have fallen in love with a witch!

Even if he didn't know that his lover was a witch at first, after taking on a mission to hunt down witches.

Father Dante found out that his lover was the target of the mission, and let the target go after an emotional breakdown.

Only then was he regarded as a traitor by the church and was hunted down by the church.

But at that time, Father Dante was not well-known, so the church was only an internal hunt, and there was not much trouble.

But later, knowing that he was deliberately deceived by a witch and played with his feelings, Father Dante,

Anger rises, and he tries to hunt down witches while escaping the church.

Eventually killed hundreds of witches and became famous.

It happened to be the era of the Black Death caused by witches,

Father Dante's pursuit of witches indirectly prevented the spread of the Black Death.

After chasing down his former lover, he started a big battle with the witch,

but fell into the trap of the witches.

It turned out that the witches deliberately lured Father Dante into an ambush with Father Dante's lover as bait.

Trying to kill Father Dante.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Father Dante saw through the love network and comprehended a new divine will.

The Divine Comedy was born, and with the help of the Divine Comedy, Father Dante killed the witches who ambushed him.

He also killed the witch who deceived him about his feelings. Purified the Black Death virus.

But even with this feat, Father Dante was not able to be forgiven by the Church.

The Inquisition's pursuit of Father Dante has not stopped.

It wasn't until Father Dante made the second part of the second part that he completed the trilogy of the Divine Comedy.

The top brass of the church could no longer sit still and issued a public arrest warrant.

In the eyes of the world, which is incomprehensible, Father Dante was finally put on trial.

No one knows the specific truth inside.

Even Nock, who had read the Codex, didn't know.

He felt that he could single-handedly fight the traps set by dozens of witches,

Then Dante, who killed this group of witches, if he wanted to escape, the church would definitely not be able to catch him.

Otherwise, why couldn't he be caught for more than ten years?

On the contrary, after Father Dante completed the Divine Comedy, he was caught by the Church and judged.

There's definitely something in it that Nock doesn't know about.

But Nock is sure of one thing, the attitude of the Church towards clergy who have a relationship with dark creatures,

It's better to kill mistakes than let them go.

This is also why Dracula has become one of the strongest people in the continent,

The reason why it is still the first place on the church's wanted list!

Even if no one in the church can catch Dracula, the church must show the attitude it should have.

It can only be said that the priest who dared to take in Philip back then was really gambling with his life's reputation.

On the contrary, Van Helsing, who was already wanted within the church at that time, did the thing of cultivating vampires,

Not to surprise Nock.

Now that Nock is entangled in Philip, he is naturally not in the mood to enjoy the beauty of the roadside.

If you don't send Philip away before entering the sanctuary,

In case this brainless person who is not afraid of death breaks into the sphere of influence of the Holy Court, then it will be a big trouble.

As mentioned earlier, although the Holy See is not a kingdom, its territory is equivalent to a kingdom.

The sanctification of outsiders is the Papal States.

In the Papal States, almost everyone practices divine power and light spells.

Even ordinary believers can rely on their faith and will power to use a little elementary divine art.

Therefore, in the territory of the Papal States, even after midnight, you can walk on the streets with confidence,

Don't be afraid of being attacked by dark creatures.

Because no dark creature dares to break into that forbidden place.

The one with an iron head, it is estimated that as soon as it appeared, it was beaten into slag by the masters who sensed the dark power.

Nock didn't want Philip to end up like this.

It's not that Nock has a good heart, but it's easy to arouse suspicion!

After all, vampires aren't dark creatures with no brains.

Surely I won't approach the Holy Court for no reason!

In this investigation, Nock, who had contact with Philip, was easy to detect.

If it weren't for Philip, even if someone sensed that Nock had been in contact with a vampire,

Nock was also able to excuse himself by saying that he had met a vampire, but unfortunately he couldn't kill them.

Or maybe he was defeated by a vampire and got away with it.

All in all, in the case of "death without proof", Nock is not afraid of what he says.

But if you "get the stolen goods together", you can't wash it by jumping into the Danube!

Just as Nock was annoyed, he was suddenly attracted by a familiar figure on the side of the road.

"Wait! Rhodes Parking! ”

Nock yelled, telling Rhodes to stop.

Nock's reaction made everyone curious, and Rod even made a "call" and parked the carriage on the side of the road.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Rod asked, confused.

Nock got up and got out of the car and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat at this tavern."

Although there was still a little time before lunch, we didn't have breakfast. ”

Nock's lame excuse made everyone think that he had taken a fancy to which girl in the tavern in front of him,

So, I tacitly got out of the car.

But Rhodes remained in the carriage, there was no way, the things in the carriage still needed to be taken care of.

After all, this is a tavern with people and snakes, not a serious inn, and they are not responsible for taking care of the carriages of the guests.

Telling Finet to bring him a piece of food, Rhodes found a place to park and ask the people on the side of the road by the way

Which hotel will I go to stay at a while.

Although it was not yet noon, Rhodes knew that he would definitely not be able to leave today.

Maybe I won't be able to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After all, it's been more than a week since the last meat was served.

Even the Bishop must be itching.

At least, Rhodes himself misses women.

However, Rod and the others guessed Nock's mind wrong.

Entering this tavern called "Black Fairy", Nock's gaze did not stop at the woman at all,

Instead, it landed on the faces of the men in the crowd.

It's just that, to Nock's disappointment, he searched all the men at the wine table, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

Did he see it wrong?

It stands to reason that the man should be in the kingdom of Fran, according to the destination that the man said at the beginning,

The man should be in Pali by now.

But Nock didn't know why, but he always had a gut feeling that he wasn't mistaken.

"Ahem, dear friends, the great bard William Shakespeare, dedicate to you my most proud work,

We hope you enjoy it! ”

On the noisy bar, a person suddenly stood up.

A man with a harp.

Shakespeare, the target of Nock's search, a familiar stranger!

A bard who was going to Pali for a poetry contest but showed up in Genoa!

"Sure enough, it's you! Shakespeare! ”

A twinkle flashed in Nock's eyes.

He thought he was wrong, but it turned out to be really this weird man!

At the beginning, Nock thought this guy was weird, and he chased him away halfway.

And now you actually meet here?

Nock didn't know if the other party had appeared in front of him on purpose.

Because, it was Nock himself who came to the door.

Everything was like an accident.

But Nock always felt that the other party did it on purpose!

The other party is waiting for him!

Don't ask why, ask is intuition!

Shakespeare at the bar has already begun his performance.

He recited a love poem.

Explicit, love poems that express love.

Well, a love poem to express love to a married woman, this may be love!

Anyway, Nock doesn't understand.

He wasn't very interested in married women, which reminded him of Freya the woman.

Nock ordered a table to eat, sat alone, and refused the self-recommendation of a few escort girls,

Nock ate like this while staring at Shakespeare, who was standing on the bar.

Richelieu and Roger Fett, too, sat separately.

The difference is that they each ordered a woman to sit with them.

Richelieu was very reserved, and ordered a woman with a good face,

Even if you do it, you do it under the table.

Roger Fett is very wanton, hugging left and right, he doesn't care if the drift is beautiful,

Only look for the big ones. As long as it's big enough, he likes it.

Finet wasn't there, presumably delivering food to Rod.

But in a moment, he will definitely come back and order one for himself, Finet has a unique hobby.

He likes to be shy. Preferably the kind that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

These are all the results that Nock has observed along the way.

Although they tacitly separate every time they have fun, they play their own games,

But Nock still noticed other people's preferences.

The most surprising thing about Nock was Rod.

Rhodes is like a stuffy gourd on weekdays.

But he likes to look for the wanderers.

Especially at a glance, you can see that there are big waves.

Nock doesn't have a fixed preference.

He just feels the need, as long as it's not ugly.

While Nock was thinking,

In front of him, a figure was already sitting in front of him.
