Chapter 857 The Inevitable Decline

A few minutes later, a large group of people walked out of the manor.

Most of them were frightened, and only a few had eyes that could be called hostile.

However, even these people, when they came into contact with Qin Ran's gaze, lowered their heads in panic and never dared to raise their heads again.

The scene before him told Qin Ran that the decline of the Wayne family was inevitable.

In fact, this is also true.

When Sheriff John said he wanted to search Wayne Manor, none of the people dared to object, and they just let Kieran and John enter the manor openly.

Moreover, as soon as they entered the spare hall, the middle-aged man came over pushing a cart.

The cart is similar to a dining cart, but it doesn’t contain food.

but...

Gold and coins.

After taking away the covering cloth, whole blocks of gold bricks and stacks of thick coins caught Kieran and John's eyes.

The police chief was stunned.

Qin Ran remained calm.

When he was brought here and everyone was dismissed, and only the three of them were left, Kieran guessed what the other party wanted to do.

The Church of Dawn also did this in the past.

Facing the numerous coalition forces of the Venn family, a car filled with gold and precious stones was pushed into the military camp by the old nun.

Then, in exchange for ‘peace’.

Now, it's a repeat.

However, the roles played by both parties have switched places.

It should have been a very interesting scene.

Qin Ran couldn't arouse the slightest interest in it.

This is especially true when faced with gold and banknotes that are completely useless to him.

So, he shook his head.

But the middle-aged man obviously misunderstood what Qin Ran meant.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please give me a few days of grace. We will definitely come up with a price that satisfies you!"

The other party gritted his teeth and said.

"That's not what I need!"

"It's not gold or coins, but the books, scrolls, and recorded texts that were once taken away by the Venn family—things that should have belonged to the Church of the Dawn."

"I'm just taking back what's ours now."

Qin Ran emphasized.

The middle-aged man was stunned.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Kieran would want these things.

"please wait!"

The middle-aged man said and pushed the car away quickly, more than twice as fast as when he came.

"call!"

"It's really too tempting!"

After the other party disappeared, John let out a long breath, and then looked at Qin Ran with great admiration.

He could swear that when faced with those gold and banknotes, Kieran didn't change at all, even his breathing didn't quicken.

"Are all 'sons of God' as free from desires and desires as you are?"

John asked curiously.

"That's because I didn't see what I wanted."

Qin Ran said this.

Then, he looked towards the end of the corridor.

Kieran had already heard the footsteps.

Not one person, but many people.

The next moment, a team of more than thirty people appeared, including men and women, all whom they had met before. Each of them was holding a thick stack of books.

After placing these books in front of Qin Ran, these people retreated one after another.

The panic was still there, but the remaining hostility in those people's eyes was gone.

Undoubtedly, compared to gold and coins, these books have no value in their eyes.

But in Qin Ran's eyes, it was worth a thousand dollars.

Qin Ran bent over and examined the books carefully. After a moment, he stopped with satisfaction.

Paper is ancient.

After flipping through it, there are both prayers praising the goddess of dawn and some anecdotal records.

It may seem absurd and unruly to ordinary people, but that's what Kieran wants.

Of course, Kieran wanted much more than that.

"Here are all the books about the Church of the Morning in our collection."

The middle-aged man said.

"very good!"

"Please have these books loaded onto the carriage... Can you lend me a carriage?"

Qin Ran nodded and said.

"Arrangements for you immediately!"

The middle-aged man could not and did not dare to refuse Kieran's request, so he immediately agreed.

You know, the situation in front of them is countless times better than they imagined.

Just paying some books to gain peace was something they never dared to think about before Kieran arrived.

"besides!"

"Please send someone to take me to Ketley's grave."

Qin Ran stopped the other party who was about to leave.

The middle-aged man who was stopped trembled in his heart at first, but after hearing Qin Ran's request, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Catley, although formerly the heir, is dead.

The dead heir is completely unimportant to the current Wayne family.

After arranging the carriage, the middle-aged man personally took Qin Ran to Ketley's cemetery.

Or to be precise: the Venn family cemetery.

Not far from the manor, at the bottom of a hillside.

The cemetery was guarded by two old men. After seeing the middle-aged man, they immediately opened the door to the cemetery as instructed. Qin Ran followed the other man and stepped in.

"Your Highness, this is it."

The middle-aged man pointed to a tombstone and said.

It is different from a tombstone and a deep underground tomb of other ordinary tribesmen.

Ketley's tomb is just behind the tombstone and is an above-ground tomb. There are about three such tombs in the entire cemetery.

Among them, the tomb in Ketli is the smallest.

It is visually estimated to be 5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2 meters high. Each exterior wall is engraved with the emblems and patterns belonging to the Venn family.

"Those two buildings belong to the two previous clan leaders."

Seeing Kieran's appraising eyes, the middle-aged man explained.

Qin Ran didn't respond.

After entering the cemetery, Kieran entered the field of [Tracking], and he was looking for the traces left by Ketli.

The other party is a 'dead man' and will not stay in the manor at all.

Even if there were rooms such as secret rooms in the manor, it would still be extremely conspicuous when people from the 'Revival Society' came in and out.

And in the entire Wayne Manor, is there any place that is less eye-catching than here?

Especially in the dead of night, even if something happens here, no one will come to check.

Do you expect a gravekeeper?

That's not what anyone would expect when looking at the ages of those two.

Soon, Qin Ran found the trace.

However, it was not near Ketley's tomb, but near the tomb of the first Earl of Venn.

"You didn't choose your own tomb, nor did you choose the Earl of Venn, but you chose the first Earl of Venn?"

Surprise appeared on Qin Ran's face.

There were one or two guesses in my mind.

Because, Kieran believed that Kaitley must have his own reasons for making such a choice.

As for what?

Just open it and see.

However, before that, there is still some trouble to solve.

Qin Ran turned to look at a corner of the cemetery, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
