A few minutes later, a large group of people walked out of the manor.
Most of them were panicked, and only a few had what could be called hostile eyes.
However, even these few people, when they met Qin Ran's gaze, lowered their heads in panic, never daring to raise their heads again.
The scene in front of him told Qin Ran that the decline of the Wayne family was inevitable.
In fact, it is.
When Sheriff John announced that he wanted to search the Wayne Manor, none of these people dared to object, so Qin Ran and John entered the manor in a grandiose manner.
And, as soon as they entered the spare hall, the middle-aged man walked over pushing a small cart.
The trolley is similar to a food truck, but it does not contain food.
but...
Gold and coins.
After removing the covering cloth, whole pieces of gold bricks and stacks of thick coins came into Kieran and John's eyes.
The sheriff was taken aback.
Qin Ran remained indifferent.
When he was brought here and pushed away everyone, leaving only the three of them, Qin Ran guessed what the other party wanted to do.
The Dawn Church used to do the same.
Facing the large coalition forces of the Wayne family, a car filled with gold and precious stones was pushed into the barracks by the old nun.
Then, in exchange for 'peace'.
Now, it's a repeat.
However, the roles played by the two sides have reversed positions.
It should have been a very interesting scene.
But Qin Ran couldn't arouse the slightest interest in it.
This is especially true when facing 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 Highness, Your Highness, please allow a few days, we will definitely make up 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 Wayne family—those things that should have belonged to the Church of Dawn."
"I'm just taking back what's ours now."
Qin Ran emphasized.
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Qin Ran would want these things.
"please wait!"
As the middle-aged man said, he pushed the cart 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 admiration.
He could swear that when facing those gold and banknotes, Kieran didn't change at all, not even a shortness of breath.
"Are all the 'Sons of God' as hopeless as you?"
John asked curiously.
"That's because I didn't see what I wanted."
Qin Ran said so.
Then, his eyes turned to the end of the corridor.
Qin Ran had already heard footsteps.
Not one person, but many people.
The next moment, a team of more than thirty people appeared, including men and women, all of whom had been seen before, and each of them was holding a thick stack of books.
After putting these books in front of Qin Ran, these people retreated one after another.
The panic was still there, but the only hostility in the eyes of those few people was gone.
Undoubtedly, compared to gold and coins, these books have no value in their eyes.
But in Qin Ran's eyes, it is worth a thousand dollars.
Qin Ran bent over to examine these books carefully, and after a while, he stopped in satisfaction.
Paper is old.
Flipping through it briefly, there are not only prayers praising the goddess of dawn, but also some secret records.
Ordinary people seem absurd and uninhibited, but this is what Kieran wants.
Of course, Kieran wanted far more than that.
"Here are all the books about the Church of Dawn in our collection."
said the middle-aged man.
"very good!"
"Please have these books loaded into the carriage...can you lend me a carriage?"
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"Arrange for you immediately!"
For Qin Ran's request, the middle-aged man would not and did not dare to refuse, so he immediately agreed.
You know, the situation in front of them is countless times better than they imagined.
Getting peace just by paying some books was something they never dared to think about before Qin Ran's arrival.
"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 felt his heart tremble at first, but after hearing Qin Ran's request, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ketley, though heir before, is dead.
The dead heir is completely unimportant to the current Wayne family.
After arranging the carriage, the middle-aged man led Qin Ran to Ketley's cemetery.
Or to be more precise: the cemetery of the Wayne family.
Not far from the manor, under a hillside.
The cemetery was guarded by two elderly people. After seeing the middle-aged man, they immediately opened the gate of the cemetery as instructed. Qin Ran followed behind him and walked in.
"Your Highness, this is the place."
The middle-aged man pointed to a tombstone and said.
It is different from a tombstone and a deep catacomb for other ordinary tribesmen.
Ketley's chamber, just behind the tombstone, is an above-ground chamber, and there are about three such chambers in the entire cemetery.
Among them, Ketley's tomb is the smallest.
Visually, it is 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2 meters high. The badges and patterns belonging to the Wien family are engraved on each outer wall.
"Those two belonged to the previous two patriarchs."
Seeing Qin Ran's scrutinizing gaze, the middle-aged man explained.
Qin Ran didn't pay attention.
After entering the cemetery, Kieran came into view. He was looking for the trace left by Ketley.
The other party is a 'dead person' and will not stay in the manor at all.
Even if there are secret rooms or other rooms in the manor, it will be very conspicuous for those people who come in and out of the "Revival Society".
And in the entire Wayne Manor, where else is more unobtrusive than this place
Especially in the dead of night, even if something happened here, no one would be willing to check it out.
You count on the gravekeeper
No one would have expected much when looking at the age of those two.
Soon, Kieran found the trace.
Not near Keterley's tomb, though, but near that of the first Earl of Wayne.
"I didn't choose my tomb, nor did I choose the Earl of Wayne, but the first Earl of Wayne?"
Surprise appeared on Qin Ran's face.
There are one or two guesses in my heart.
Because, Kieran believed that Ketley's choice must have his own reasons.
As for what
Just open it and see.
However, before that, there are still some troubles to solve.
Qin Ran turned his head to look at a corner of the cemetery, his eyes sharp as a knife.
