Chapter 224: Farewell to the Aftermath

The little maid Sangman took Liu Ci's five letters, took the Holy See's "hitchhiker" back to Emster, and on the first day, she could still see the towering Tower of Light in the Light Shrine, and on the second day, the undulating mountains had blurred Sanman's vision, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and covered the letter on her chest again.

What about Liu Ci at this time?

Early the next morning, she was again standing at the gate of the monastery of the Holy Port.

The monastery built halfway up the hill was surrounded by beautiful scenery, and the green grass in the treetops was still fresh dew, and she had already climbed halfway up the hill to the sound of kingfishers chirping first.

"It's you again...... Didn't you already tell you that private visits are not allowed in the monastery? ”

Liu Ci had brought Sangman to harass the gatekeeper several times, and the other party obviously remembered her.

"I'm going to enter the monastery, this is my credentials."

The other party was just performing his duties, Liu Ci was not interested in pretending to be a slap in the face, and directly handed over the nameplate to the gatekeeper.

The other party's vigilant attitude softened slightly, and after carefully inspecting the nameplate, the nameplate will be returned to you.

"You want to see Rachel Liu?"

Liu Ci nodded, "Other than that, if you don't bother too much, please ask Director Charles for me, and an old friend of his asked me to greet Director Charles for him." ”

"Wait, I'll talk about it later."

After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he drew a circle of light and whispered a few words into the rippling circle, and after a while he received a reply:

"Okay, you can go in, someone will take you to see your sister...... Governor Charles didn't say no either, and if he's done with business, he can take time out of his cup of tea to meet you. ”

Liu Ci nodded, didn't say much, and followed the people assigned by the gatekeeper into the monastery.

The last time I came in, the priest Moses was accompanied, and the first princess led the way, and there was a luxurious lineup. This time, Liu Ci was alone, and the person who led the way didn't say a word to her, and directly took her under a wisteria trellis.

"You just wait here, don't wander around in the monastery."

Liu Ci was still in place, and the person who led the way walked away like wind under his feet. There is a log bench under the wisteria flower shelf, the wood color is mottled, and there are small insect-eaten holes in the foot of the chair, which can be seen that the bench is old. In fact, more than that, the wisteria that has bloomed is intertwined, and some of the vines with the thickness of the forearm have been deeply embedded in the pillars, blending in with the surrounding environment, and looking full of quaint historical atmosphere.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, you can see the rich history of the Holy Port Monastery in any corner.

Chrissy asked her to enter the monastery to look for excavated documents, and coincidentally there was a library not far from the wisteria trellis...... Liu Cizheng was thinking wildly, and a surprised female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Sister Ci...... Is it really you? ”

Liu Ci turned around, and the slim Rachel was wearing the uniform robe of the monastery, looking at him with a look of surprise.

The little girl had long red hair, two books in her arms, and her eyes were red.

After many years, Liu Ci didn't like this weak style of meeting and painting, resisted the urge to rub Rachel's hairy head, and coughed dryly: "I haven't seen you for two years, little girl, how are you doing?" ”

Rachel nodded vigorously, firstly, she was living like a fish in water in the convent, and secondly, even if it was really bad, how could she say it at this time to make Liu Ci worried, presumably Sister Ci didn't know how much energy it took to enter the convent to visit her!

"Well, I've become sensible...... Liu Ci sighed, although there was no one around, she didn't dare to speak as she wanted in the monastery, so she vaguely told Rachel about the Holy See's "exorcism plan" that Chrissy said, although Liu Ci had already identified himself as the "magic star" in the high priest's prophecy, but it couldn't stand that the Holy See hadn't confirmed it, the Lorenz family suffered an unwarranted disaster a few years ago, and Rachel was qualified to know the truth.

"Is that it......"

Rachel muttered to herself, a few years ago she was too well protected by her family, what can a twelve-year-old girl understand, a sudden catastrophe shrouded the Lorentz family without leaving a gap, she was sacrificed by her family to escape, but the rest of the Lorentz family died.

Treason.

Is the Lorenz family guilty at all, just because the Holy See wants to strangle possible future threats in the cradle, and her family will be killed on the charge that this disgraced the ancestors? Rachel felt very ridiculous, she was innocent at this time, she couldn't help but be full of hatred, at this moment, Rachel felt that the holy and noble monastery in front of her was so dirty that she didn't want to stay longer for a moment!

"Don't get emotional, Rachel! You can live alone in the ancient tower for a few years, and the lack of food and loneliness can't defeat you, will a single truth break you? No, Rachel I know is stronger than that. ”

Liu Ci's voice came slowly, it was not big, but it was like a needle in the sea, stabilizing Rachel's mood.

Rachel's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at Liu Ci with bloodshot eyes, and Liu Ci couldn't help but sigh: "Ke...... Oh, that special friend of yours, who told me that your mother is indeed alive, and that she even knows your mother's whereabouts. Rachel, you are not alone in the struggle, I think, no matter where your mother is, her forbearance must also be working silently for the innocence of your family. ”

The special friend refers to Chrissy, whom Rachel had mentioned to Liu Ci in a letter. Although Liu Ci had long said that her mother Quirin Capala might still be alive, and Rachel was full of expectations, it was a rumor that was not certain after all.

Liu Ci never told lies, and now she was sure that her mother was really alive, and Rachel was hit by a huge surprise, opened her mouth, and almost asked regardless of the occasion.

Liu Ci made a booing gesture to signal her to be quiet, and quickly changed the topic: "I heard that the monastery has recently taken over a batch of unearthed documents from the Mage Tower, have you heard the news?" ”

Rachel tried to calm her excitement, restrained her voice to a normal range, and wondered, "Sister Ci, is this important?" ”

Liu Ci nodded, "Perhaps, I can use it in exchange for an important piece of news." ”

Rachel took a breath, did Sister Ci want to use the news of the unearthed documents to go to Chrissy Town in exchange for her mother's specific whereabouts? Rachel is well aware of Chriss's obsession with books, and only Chrissy can think of such a quid pro quo.

Rachel thought about it for a long time, the relationship between everyone in the convent was relatively indifferent, she didn't have much contact with her classmates, each student had a separate dining place, and it was impossible to collect some news in the cafeteria. She finally shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, but since the documents are going to be taken over by the monastery, it must be important, and the most important books and materials in the monastery are personally looked after by the councillor Charles." He had a separate private library that connected to his office, and the only way to access the library was through Governor Charles's office...... Sister Ci, although there is not a single guard there, the strength of Council Charles is unfathomable, and his office is definitely the most heavily guarded place in the entire monastery, so don't risk it...... I'll find her news myself slowly! ”

Liu Ci was quite pleased, to be honest, she and Rachel were not related, she was good to Rachel, but she didn't want the other party to take her kindness for granted. Rachel was worried about her safety, and was even willing to give up inquiring about her mother's whereabouts, making Liu Ci feel that she had not helped the wrong person.

"The Holy See, for unknown reasons, has been lenient to me since I came to the Holy Land, and you see, not only have I been able to visit you in the monastery where no one else can enter, but my request to see Council Charles has not been completely denied...... Rachel, I don't know when I'm going to leave the Holy Land Harbor out of the blue, and for a long time, we probably won't be able to see each other again, or even keep in touch. When the situation is urgent, I can no longer take care of your safety, and how to survive the crisis in the future depends on your wisdom. ”

Rachel was anxious and wanted to ask Liu Ci what had happened, but a priest hurriedly walked over and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Are you Liu Ci? Come with me, Governor Charles has time to see you! ”

Liu Ci smiled and said goodbye to Rachel, and the girl could only blush, and watched Liu Ci follow the waiter around the wisteria trellis and walk towards Director Charles's office buildingβ€”the atmosphere there was solemn, and it was not a place that ordinary students like Rachel could approach.

Rachel had already guessed what Liu Ci was going to do, and at this time, she didn't care about the sentimentality of having to separate after a short meeting, she only complained about why she had to tell Sister Ci so much just now...... Director Charles's private library, how could she have expected that Liu Ci would really have a chance to get close!

Liu Ci was taken to Director Charles's small building.

The waiter took her upstairs and left on her own, the door of the office was open, and there was no movement inside.

Liu Ci stood outside the door for a while, and couldn't help but take out the nameplate to look at it, the halo covering it was much darker, and it was obvious that she didn't have long left to stay in the monastery.

"Director Charles, can I come in?"

Liu Ci asked softly, there was no movement in the door for a long time, she raised her hand to knock on the door, but with a light touch, the hidden door slid back, revealing an empty room.

Behind the large desk, there was no one in the chair, and it seemed that Director Charles was in a hurry to go out, and in his hurry, he even forgot to close the door. According to Liu Ci's tutor, it is time to avoid suspicion at this time...... But Liu Ci is here to be an undercover agent, except for suspecting that it is a trap, she has no idea of avoiding suspicion at all.

Do you need to say whether you want to go in or not?!

Seeing that the halo of the nameplate was getting fading more and more, Liu Ci knew that this was the last chance. Chrissy only asked that the obsidian be dropped in the place where the excavated documents were stored, so should the office of Director Charles?

Liu Ci hesitated, thinking that he would throw the stone directly into the office, and it would be easy to be discovered by Charles...... Oh my God, if Chrissy dies, although she won't be sad, her plan to leave the Holy Land Harbor with the other party's special ability is completely ruined.

Liu Ci touched the necklace around his neck, his eyes quickly filtered the environment in the room, the owner of the office was obviously a big man who was organized, and the room was well organized, Liu Ci couldn't see the dark corners where he could hide the stone at a glance.

In the end, her eyes stayed on the statue on the desk, which was a half-foot statue carved in stone, which ordinary people would definitely ignore, but Liu Ci felt that its existence seemed very abrupt.

Charles's room was simple and straightforward, although he left in a hurry, he didn't even have a piece of waste paper on his desk, what would such a person do with a flashy statue on his desk?

The ghost sent the gods, and Liu Ci walked into the room.

She was about to try to twist the statue when a majestic voice came from the door:

"Who are you and what are you doing?!"
