Chapter 229: The Monastery of St. Caroline ...
"Also, this cabinet is yours," Dora said, pulling out a lock from the drawer on the table and handing it to Jasmine along with the key, "Usually the cabinet is locked, but there is more than this one, and sometimes the grandmothers will come and check it." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Check what?" Jasmine wondered.
Dora took a breath, as if she was holding back her anger: "Of course, it's a cabinet thing, and you can't bring it to the convent if it doesn't match your status as a nun." ”
Jasmine pursed her lips and whispered to herself, "How can you get something that doesn't match the identity of a nun in this kind of ghost place!"
"What did you say?" Dora's sharp eyes glanced at Jasmine.
At that moment, Jasmine only felt that her body was pierced by her gaze, and she said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't say anything!"
I don't know if Dora really didn't hear clearly or didn't want to deal with Jasmine, she rolled her eyelids and continued: "Just now, Mama Amanda asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment, you come with me." ”
After saying that, he strode out, completely ignoring Jasmine who was trotting behind him. Although the monastery is not large, it is always delayed by various nonsensical questions raised by Jasmine, and it is noon after a circle.
The former abbey of St. Caroline was only a small island fortification and soldier's residence, and was not structurally complicated. However, although the sparrows are small, all the buildings are grayish-brown, as dull as a nun's dress. Behind the enclosed arched gate that is characteristic of Egrim is a small plaza, which is not decorated with flowers and trees, but contrasts with the tower-shaped church facing the gate, and looks more solemn. This church is surprisingly large, and it may be like a palace to the villagers on the island, but unfortunately the monastery is not allowed to outsiders, and the villagers have no chance to see it.
The church is flanked by a tower-shaped building, the top of which is much higher than the roof of the middle church. The west tower was used as the office residence of the abbot, while the east tower is said to have fallen into disrepair and has never been opened. Connected to the west tower at a ninety degree angle is a row of three-story low buildings, the second of which is the nun's quarters and bathrooms, where Mama Amanda brought Jasmine from the beginning. The nuns' life was boring but orderly, with limited space for their activities, wandering between the hall and the residence on the first floor, and the convent's library on the third floor, where nuns would go up to read materials if necessary, but only with the permission of the abbot or grandmother.
On the other side of the building, there is also a three-story building, the north end is connected to the east tower at a 90-degree angle, and the section near the tower is used as a classroom for teaching the nuns' doctrine and doing their homework, which is actually a small church, and the middle end is a dining room, with a few wooden tables and chairs, and the decoration is not luxurious. The southernmost section, which is also adjacent to the main entrance, is where the kitchen is located, and although it is located in a remote area, it is much larger than the dining room. There is no arable land here, all the food and vegetables are supplied by the villagers below the mountain, and if there is anything missing, the nursing nun on duty will be sent to Agrim every month to buy it, which is what Jasmine had hoped for, but the nun needs to be excellent in character and learning to have the opportunity to become a rotating nun. In the corner of the kitchen is a utility room, or rather a warehouse, but most of the time there are not many good things.
After a big turn, Dora took Jasmine back to the west side of the main church and said coldly, "The dean should have returned, I'll take you to meet her." Remember, although she is kind, she is the dean after all, and don't do anything disrespectful. ”
"Got it, so long-winded!" Jasmine, who had turned around in a long circle, clearly realized that her future days would be extremely boring, so much so that her face was remorseful and her mood was low.
Dora must have seen through her thoughts, and stood in front of the west tower for a long time: "If you regret it now, it's too late!"
"No, no, no," Jasmine hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't ask for it!"
Dora sneered and led Jasmine up the tower, knocked on the door three times, and a low female voice came from inside: "Please come in!"
Pushing the door in, there was a burst of fragrance in front of her, and Jasmine suddenly felt relaxed and happy, forgetting her troubles. Behind the antique desk, there sat an intellectual middle-aged woman, although she was dressed in a black nun's dress, but the style was very different from Dora's, and she looked more dignified.
