Chapter 222 Closed Doors
Xuanyu and Lucia, led by Grove and Jasmine, enter Rixian Village, and the four of them walk through the market in the center of the village, feeling the bustling traffic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (advertisement) Due to the gathering of businessmen from inside and outside the village, strange faces like Xuanyu and Lucia are not uncommon in Yueqin Village, and the villagers of Yirixin Village have completely different attitudes towards them, even if they see them, they all nod their heads and greet, regardless of where they come from and where they are going, there is no curiosity and freshness of Yueqin Village at all, and it seems that what they do is a matter of course.
There are hundreds of households in Rixian Village, each of which has been renovated, and there is no shortage of taverns and theaters in the bustling area, where businessmen from all over the world gather to sell a wide variety of items. In addition to trading between merchants, the villagers also spent a lot of money and enjoyed it very much.
"Rigen Village is like a miniature version of Egrim!" Lucia looked around, dizzying, "Maybe living here is more comfortable and knowledgeable than living in Agrim!"
"No, I've heard that Egrem is several times bigger than here!" Jasmine, who was walking in front, turned around, but didn't stop, "Although this place looks lively, it's just a village after all!"
Is it really just a village?" Xuanyu thought to herself, earlier, the Lorint Strait between Elysium Island and Egrim was inhabited by the Phantom Mermaids, and the ships had to make a detour. Even if one or two ships are unlucky enough to come to this sea area for various reasons, they will not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed up and sinking, such as the "Blood Rose". In recent years, although the succubus mermaid has rarely appeared, the unknown sea demon beast is no worse than the mermaid, ordinary merchants can't get close to Elysium Island at all, and those powerful magicians or demon merchants can't pass through the Seven Holy Lords, so how did these merchants get here?
Xuanyu frowned and pondered, and did not speak for a long time. Lucia could probably guess what he was thinking, rolled her eyes, took Jasmine's hand and said, "Didn't you say that there is a boat here to take us back?"
"Yes, but you have to register at the monastery first!" Jasmine said, gesturing to the building high up in front of her.
Sure enough, the building he saw when he was on the hill was the Convent of St. Caroline.
"Why do you need to inform the abbey if you want to leave?" Lucia wondered, "they are too lenient!"
"I think you're misleading," Grove said, "in order to avoid trouble on the road, the ships used by the merchants are all provided by the monastery, but the monastery only has one ship, and if you want to leave or land on the island, you must register and queue up early, and there is only one boat a day." ”
"I see," hearing this, half of the suspicion in Xuanyu's heart dissipated, and the other half was all shrouded in the towering building, "It's just that I don't quite understand, why only the monastery ship is safe?"
Grove raised his eyebrows: "Of course there are gods to protect you!"
"Oh. I know there's just a celebration in Yueqin Village!" Lucia turned her head to meet the white eyes of Grove and Jasmine.
"People here don't believe in that god!" Jasmine said.
"We are all the people of the gods, and our god Thorsel is from heaven and is the most high. Grove looked reverently in the direction of the abbey.
Xuanyu and Lucia looked at each other, knowing each other. The supreme god Thorsel is native to Egrim, and all the churches and monasteries are dedicated to him, so it makes sense to say that the nuns of St. Caroline's Abbey were sent by King Egrim.
Because they had to register in advance, the four of them did not stop in the village for long, but went straight to the gate of the monastery. However, the door was closed and unusually quiet. Grove and Jasmine knocked on the door, and after a long time they heard footsteps coming from inside the door, but when they reached the door, they did not show up, but stood behind the large iron door to answer.
"What's the matter?" the woman's voice was, presumably a nun.
"I've brought two friends, and they're here to register!" Grove said in a loud voice.
"Why did you only come to register now, and there are no places for nearly a month!"
"Are you so nervous?" Jasmine heard and was anxious.
"A while ago, the port of Agrim was hit by a tsunami, our ship could not dock, and a large number of businesses were stranded on the island. I just received a notice today, the port over there is back in operation, and the merchants who are waiting to go home have come to register in the morning, you guys are too slow. ”
"Is there really no vacancy?" Jasmine was very distraught, and the plan to leave Elysium Island with Xuanyu and the others was afraid that it would be delayed!
"No, if you register now, you won't be able to leave until a month. ”
"A month is a month," Xuanyu began, "please write it down for us." ”
"Oh, report the name and the number!"
"Jade and Lucia......"
"And Jasmine!" Before Xuanyu's words fell, Jasmine rushed to say, she was afraid of being forgotten.
"Well," Xuanyu continued, "three people. ”
"Jasmine, is it Jasmine from Yueqin Village?"
"That's right, that's right!" Jasmine replied positively.
"Aren't you going to be a nun here? Why are you going to go to sea?"
"Ah~~~~" Jasmine was dumbfounded for a while, snorted a few times in embarrassment, and stammered, "My mother won't let me be a nun...... But I'll persuade her to agree!I swear to the supreme god Thorthal;!"
"To come or not to come, to go or not to go is a choice that the gods make for you. ”
Although the people inside the door tried their best to restrain their emotions, they could still hear a hint of unhappiness in her fluctuating voice, which made Jasmine scratch her ears and cheeks, very uncomfortable.
"By the way, Mama, why don't you register where you are going?" Xuanyu didn't want to waste time by pestering on this matter, so he changed the subject.
"Our ship is going to Agrim, are you here for the first time?"
"For the first time, please mention it. Xuanyu said respectfully.
"I don't have anything to mention to you, please come back if it's okay. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps moving away.
The three of them got up early in the morning to catch a late meeting, and Jasmine didn't need to say anything, and even Lucia was very discouraged. Only Xuanyu remained silent, silently casting her eyes on the towering building behind the iron gate. On the way back to Rixian Village, Lucia was indignant, she thought that she could enter the monastery today to find out, but who would have thought that not only could she not find out the truth and reality, but she didn't even enter!
"Jasmine, are you really going to be a nun?" Grove said nervously.
"Of course I don't want to!!" Jasmine pouted, "I just want to get out of the island, and the ships of the monastery are for merchants and nuns, and I want to deceive them, and when I get to Agrim, I'll run away!"
Grove's face was full of relief, and he said proudly: "I knew that Jasmine was reluctant to give up on me!"
Jasmine stuck out her tongue and grimaced: "I'm going to marry the prince!"
"You, just talk about it, haha. Grove laughed heartlessly.
Seeing this, Lucia's mood is much better, this is the charm of gossip. She pursed her lips, smiled bitterly, and looked up to see Xuanyu walking in front of her, looking preoccupied. She tugged at the corner of his coat.
"What are we going to do?" Lucia said softly.
"Of course, it's a month of waiting, but ......," Xuanyu turned and looked at the Strait of Lorraine, "a month can change dramatically." ”
