Chapter 29: The Nuns of Rapoll

Standing at the gate of the monastery, watching the carriage of the children drift away, Li Fang was still a little uneasy in his heart.

He didn't know if handing over the children to the organization would save them or hurt them, though it was ultimately the children's choice......

"It's useless to worry. It is better for these children to be able to organize than to starve to death, die of disease, or be taken to the north by human traffickers......" Kimir stood by the wall next to the door of the monastery, and when he saw a young girl standing next to Li Fang, he asked, "Isn't she going?" I think this kid's qualifications should be pretty good. ”

The experience of these two days has changed Candace a lot, and the weak girl who was when they first met now has a hint of tenacity in her eyes.

However, Candace still involuntarily shrank behind Li Fang, blocking Kimir's view of her. She was a little afraid of the man in black who spoke, and the severely burned face was really indistinguishable to ordinary people.

"She's just staying here to help, and she'll leave when the kids are gone." Li Fang opened his mouth to explain.

Two days ago, after getting rid of the demon that had become the priest, Annabelle asked Candace what she planned to do in the future. The young girl, however, said with a firm face that she was going to be a nun in the convent of St. Dura Pole.

In the center of the continent, Doruji, a city that rejects all sorcery and the use of tools in the name of the gods, is some distance away from the area that Annabelle is currently responsible for.

"Oh, the holy capital of No.47, I haven't heard this name in a long time, it's an unpleasant city." Kimir showed a reminiscent expression, but quickly retracted it, turned his head to Annabelle, who was standing at the door, and said, "Let's talk about the important things first." Annabelle, the organization is very concerned about your situation, and wants to get more information about the fact that you have experienced the liberation of demonic power beyond the limit but have not awakened, as well as the changes in your quality in all aspects. ”

"But don't worry, there's no order to do human experiments on you." Kimir grinned: "You have escaped from the Awoken, and your strength has increased significantly recently, and there are just a vacant position, so the organization has decided to raise your ranking to NO.29, and after completing the next mission, you will go to the new area." The distance is relatively far, in the west of the mainland. ”

"Isn't it too much to move up 10 places all at once?" Annabelle frowned slightly, she discussed with Li Fang, and now the ideal ranking should be outside NO.30, and they don't want to improve so much at once.

"Are you scared?" Kimir looked at Annabelle with a mocking cold eye, "Don't worry, generally speaking, there are no more than 7 or 8 demons in a place, and any more organizations will gather a plurality of warriors to clean up." ”

"What you have to worry about for your life is to crusade against the Awakened." Kimir gloated and said: "After ranking less than NO.30, it is possible to receive the task of crusading against the awakened every year, and your current strength is not enough to see." ”

"Anna won't die so easily, you should go to the west of the mainland with us to see the scenery for a few years." Li Fang looked at Kimir without showing weakness.

"Then wait and see," Kimir didn't care, "the next mission is in a village in the south, three days away, and this time there are really only two demons...... When you are done, you will depart for a city in the west called Perth, where I will be waiting for you. ”

……

Since she had to travel through the middle of the continent to get to the West, Candace hoped that Li Fang and Annabelle would take her with her.

For a girl who was no more than thirteen years old, it would have been dangerous to go to St. Rapoll alone. And they happened to be on the way, and Candace made a good impression on them, so Annabelle and Li Fang did not refuse her request.

After Kimir left, the trio packed their luggage and headed to the last mission location in the area.

Perhaps because of the nature of women, although she knew that she had to go a long way, Candace still carried a lot of luggage. Seeing what looked heavy on her thin body and back, Li Fang took the initiative to help share part of it.

Open her bag, it turns out that most of it is books, theology? It seems that this girl has made a lot of efforts to become a nun.

The next few days of walking together also proved this, although it was already very hard to travel during the day, and the blisters on her feet had to be dealt with by Li Fang, of course, Li Fang quietly used the refreshing crystal to help her recover, but when she was resting, Candace would always find a place to sit down, take out the book and read it quietly.

Candace said that most of the books she brought with her were books about God, and Li Fang looked at them curiously, completely unaware of the words......

Although he was able to converse with people smoothly, Li Fang realized that he might be illiterate in this world.

Anyway, he has also undergone more than ten years of education, although he feels useless, but he was suddenly made illiterate, and Li Fang still felt very uncomfortable. Anyway, there was nothing to do along the way, except for the daily swordsmanship training, Li Fang officially began to learn literacy from Annabelle.

After several conversations along the way, Li Fang learned that Candace was already a trainee nun in the original convent, and she also had relevant identification documents, so she should not have to worry about how to enter the convent after going to Rapoll.

Without much delay in the last mission, the trio quickly left the area of NO.39 in the north, and headed south for a slight detour to the holy city of Rapoll.

As a religious city and a holy capital, Rapoll is the largest city Li Fang has ever seen in the world, but just by looking at its towering walls, it is clear that the city is not as peaceful as its name.

Rapoll has its own Holy Capital Guard, which is full of young, strong, and professional soldiers, and ordinary demons can't please them even if they have one or two demons.

Therefore, it has the confidence to reject any demons and evil ways that are not in line with God's will, including the great sword.

Because the entrance of the city was strictly guarded by the guards, Annabelle did not enter the city.

These days, Candace and Li Fang have become much closer, and they are no longer restrained on weekdays. This girl's beautiful blue eyes and cultured words and deeds have made Li Fang feel a little good for her these days. Now that they had all walked to the foot of Rapoll, Li Fang planned to send Candace to the convent and experience the scenery of the Holy Capital along the way.

Annabelle didn't object to Li Fang's idea of entering the Holy Capital, but Candace was still a little embarrassed.

"I'll be waiting for you outside the city, don't stay too long, I'll be back before dusk, you know?" Annabelle instructed Li Fang.

"Yes, got it!" Li Fang agreed.

"Well, thank you very much for taking care of me along the way," Candace said with a grateful face, "I don't know how to repay you, but I will pray for you every day, may God bless you with peace." ”

"Don't worry, you have to work hard in the Holy Capital in the future, and if you have the opportunity to meet again...... Oh, sorry, it's better not to meet. Li Fang smiled bitterly and scratched his head, if they could still meet, then only there was a demon in the Holy Capital, but this was not the area that Annabelle was responsible for, and it would be another big sword if they came......

"God has arranged all of this." Candace smiled.

"Alright, you guys go." Annabelle smiled as well, and she said to Candace, "If we can meet again, I hope you will be a holy nun by then." ”

……

In front of the city gate of Rapoll, you have to pass a flat bridge across the moat, standing on the bridge, you can see that the city wall and the bridge deck are very flat brick and stone piles, and from a distance you even feel a little exquisite, and the rough style of those towns you have seen in the past is completely different.

There is a special window under the city gate to keep the weapons that those who enter the city, and after Li Fang handed over the iron sword he carried, he entered the city with Candace.

The eyes are full of people, the streets are full of people, and the cars and horses are endless. There are all kinds of shops on the street, there are a lot of goods, the smell in the air is much fresher, and even the pedestrians look and dress much more decently.

Candace couldn't help but exclaim softly, it was the first time she had seen such a thriving and huge city, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Li Fang beside her, and found that he was not surprised, but just a little excited and ...... Lament?

It has a bit of a big city appearance, Li Fang feels that as soon as he enters the city, the whole person is a lot more comfortable, and this prosperous scene makes him more accustomed to it.

Although the streets are bustling with people and the buildings are mostly three or four storeys high, Li Fang and Candace still have a glimpse of the monastery at the back of the city center, or rather, the huge church that looks like a Gothic-style.

The two of them marched towards the monastery in high spirits. Because he was almost scattered by the flow of people on the way, Li Fang simply pulled Candace's small wrist to prevent it from being separated by the flow of people again.

Soon the two came to the convent, Li Fang let go of the hand holding Candace, and said to her: "Just say goodbye here, this city is beautiful, I will come again when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Ah, okay......" Candace lowered her head, her blue eyes hidden in her slightly yellowed hair.

"Take your luggage, I've got all the books in there. That, goodbye. ”

With a wave of his hand, Li Fang smiled and turned to leave the square in front of the monastery, and halfway through he looked back, Candace was still standing there looking at him, so he waved his hand again. The journey of these days made him feel a little sad about the separation at this moment.

Candace also raised her hand and waved, watching from afar, and a big smile appeared on her face.

Maybe we will meet again, Li Fang turned his gaze back and began to visit this holy capital that I don't know how much beauty and cultural precipitation is hidden......

Because he was informed when he entered the city that there was a curfew at night in Rapoll, and there was also Anna's advice, so when it was almost dusk, Li Fang set off to return.

It's a pity that I didn't even finish half of it.

One last glimpse of the golden Rapoll at sunset, and remembering that there was also a trainee nun here, Li Fang and Annabelle headed west to a city called Perth.
