Chapter 198: Quarantine Review (2)
"Apart from you and your sister, are there any other residents of the town who survive?"
Rachel tilted her head in an effort to remember, and finally shook her head: "I was too young at that time, I just remember a lot of monsters, the town was full of screams, fire and beast roars surrounded us, and my sister hid in the cellar with me in her arms...... I had a serious illness after the beast tide, and by the time I was conscious, my sister had taken me far away from the town. There are still no survivors in the town, I don't know, we never went back. ”
The priest of Moses spoke with Rachel a few more words, and Rachel's words were largely flawless. If Rachel's identity was a dark mage, the priest of Moses would definitely not be afraid to use spiritual means, but Rachel was a monastery student with only light source power in her body and her roots were red.
A child with such qualifications was born a favorite of God, and he really couldn't imagine that anyone would be willing to give up everything that could be easily obtained in the Holy See and choose to join the heretical organization.
Thinking of this, the attitude of the priest of Moses became more casual: "Child, can you talk to me about Chrisscho Turn?" ”
At the mention of Chrissy, Rachel's expression relaxed. Although she felt strange in her heart, she still said truthfully, "Does the priest know about her?" She was such an erudite girl, who helped me a lot during my year at the monastery, and her excellence made me even more eager to improve, and made me tirelessly and voraciously read the knowledge of the monastery library......"
Rachel spoke cheerfully about Chrissy, and the priest of Moses listened attentively. Among them, he specifically asked Chrissy about the club that Rachel had introduced, and Rachel did not hide it and told everything she knew.
At the end of the conversation, the priest thanked Rachel for her cooperation.
Rachel looked shy: "Didn't I talk too much and delay your precious time?" ”
The priest shook his head: "No, child, it is a pleasure to talk to you, and I hope that your days of study in the monastery will continue to be so full and happy...... You see, when you leave the monastery and look back on your life now, decades after you leave, it is a truly memorable time, and I hope you will cherish it. ”
"Yes, sir." Rachel stood up and bowed slightly, and said a polite farewell to the priest of Moses.
The priest of Moses departed.
Rachel stood there for a long time, until a gust of wind blew the wisteria flowers above her head and shook them, and Rachel felt the coolness of her wet clothes.
No matter how dignified and generous she looked now, she was essentially the little girl who lived alone in the mage tower, only in the company of small animals in the forest. She resists the crowd, she is timid and shy...... But Liu Ci once told her that if she wanted to deceive those shrewd people with lies, she must first believe every word that came out of her mouth.
Since deciding to go to the Holy Land Harbor to find out the whereabouts of her biological mother under the nose of the Holy See, Rachel has repeatedly thought about the identity background she and Liu Ci have woven together several times a day.
The town that had been attacked by the beast tide did exist, and not only that, but its last survivor had escaped by hiding in a cellar barrel. It was a member of Lydia's adventure party, a survivor who had died in the clutches of the monsters of the Moroch Mountains - meaning that no small town survivor would come forward to expose her and Liu Ci's lies no matter how much the Holy See tried to verify it.
Rachel's soaked clothes were drying dry, and she stood under the wisteria tree, letting the purple petals fall all over her shoulders.
The discussion with Priest Moses had been a pleasure, but Rachel knew that her friend Chrissy was probably in some serious trouble.
This trouble may be more serious than the fact that she is Rachel Lorentz and has entered the Abbey of Port Sanctuary under a new identity.
So what could it be?
Rachel suddenly realized that she hadn't seen her friend Chrissy in nearly a month.
In this convent, there are people like her, and there is a more mysterious Chrissy Town than her...... Speaking of which, who would have believed that the top monastery in the entire continent would have so many mysteries?
The closed management of the monastery prevented Rachel from receiving news that Liu Ci had arrived at the Holy Land. But a priest of light suddenly talks to him, and Rachel thinks something big must be happening.
What could it be?
…………
A conversation is going on at the Holy Port Abbey, the office of Governor Charles.
Conversation between Council Charles and the priest of Moses.
The identities of the two people in the Holy See cannot be said to be superior or inferior, unlike Veblen's stranger to Moses, Charles, who has been staying in the port of the Holy Land, the center of power, has also had a lot of dealings with the priest Moses.
The two even worked together for a brief year, so the conversation between them was very relaxed.
"Could it be her?" Director Charles asked, putting his finger on the rim of the cup.
The priest of Moses shook his head and said, "The age is not right, this Rachel in the convent cannot be Rachel Lorenz, her hair color is not black, and there is no sign of using potions at all." However, I heard that her sister, who was reported by the aristocracy, is really black-haired and black-eyed, and her age and other aspects can better correspond to the Rachel Lorenz information in the file...... Governor Charles, I don't think His Holiness the Pope's focus seems to be on the survivors of the Lorentz family.
His Majesty the Pope is more concerned about how the young girl named Chrissy got into the convent than who Rachel Lorenz is, and you, as the trustee of the convent, should know better than anyone that not only did the convent not give Chrissy Turn's students, but even the clergy and other staff who served here did not have that name.
I guess the management of the monastery needs a big overhaul. If you can't find out the whereabouts of Chrissy, I think you'll need to give His Majesty the Pope an explanation. ”
When Charles heard this, the expression on his face didn't look too stressed. He stared at the bow hanging on the wall, and even momentarily lost his mind.
Hearing the priest of Moses cough softly, Director Charles came to his senses and held out a document.
"Priest Moses, I personally fully agree with you that the matter concerning Chrissytown Turne is much more serious in nature."
Priest Moses quickly flipped through the documents given by Charles, and now he also sensed that things were tricky.
"Heresy has been banned repeatedly, and I now know why you take it so seriously that you have refused to meet with your long-time friend, Priest Veblen...... In addition to promoting blasphemous remarks, Chrissy's whereabouts are the biggest problem. She had been seen in the diocese of Emster the year before, and she had been seen in the coastal city of the Ruilan Empire last May, and at the same time, she had been active in the monastery of Port Sanctuary......"
Priest Moses closed the document and his face remained unswerving: "If the source has been determined to be true, then how did she travel freely across the continent in a short time?" You and I all know that since the decline of space magic, all magic teleportation arrays have been sealed because no one has repaired them, whether it is the Magic Association or the Holy See, they have reached a common agreement, except for major matters related to the safety of the continent, no force is allowed to use teleportation arrays. ”
Charles also nodded: "Yes, Priest Moses." I suspect that either the Magic Association or within our Holy See is a very powerful force helping Chrissy. She may just be the spokesperson of this force, and this force can also use magic teleportation arrays, or they hold a number of secret teleportation arrays that have not been sealed - what is even more terrifying is that if this force does not belong to the Holy See or the Magic Association, and it is the Dark Council that has mastered many magic teleportation arrays that has gone overseas, the entire Bright Continent is always in extreme danger! ”
Priest Moses' hands holding the document couldn't help but clasp it together, and he said word by word: "We must catch this Chrissy, Director Charles, and we should do whatever it takes to do so!" ”
Charles nodded.
There are people in the monastery of the Holy Port, who go freely under his eyelids, and he has no face in public and private. Charles understood that his real challenge as a member of the Abbey Council had arrived.
Two big men were talking about themselves in the office, and the girl who was flipping through the literature in the corner of a library in the monastery and shaking her head suddenly sneezed.
If Liu Ci was present, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this girl, who was still so thin and tall, and her appearance had hardly changed, was Chrissy.
She really looks like a girl who is very ordinary except for being thin and tall, and she doesn't attract more attention from others at all. In the past two years, Chrischo has not changed in the slightest, she is still thin, but she is radiant.
Whenever she is faced with a vast sea of books, her thin body can burst with infinite energy. She loves to read, but at the same time she questions the authenticity of the contents.
Putting the book back in her hand, Chrissy's ears moved. Although the other party's footsteps were very light, Chrissy heard the movement.
Is there anything else coming from such a remote corner? Chrissy hides herself in the shadows.
After a few moments, the visitor stopped in front of the bookshelf.
Bookshelves of logs, stuffed with all kinds of books, are not visible to people at either end of the shelves.
Chrissy heard a female voice on the other end, as if muttering, "...... How strange could the priest of Moses care about Chrissycho? I must have thought too much......"
Chrissy froze, and she recognized the voice's owner by the voice.
Sure enough, no matter how careful he was, did he still attract the attention of the Holy See? Chrissy thought to herself, most of the time, she couldn't help but have someone "babbling" in front of her.
"Rachel, have you picked a book? Hurry up, it's class time! ”
"I've already chosen, wait for me!"
Rachel casually pulled a book from the shelf and held it in her arms, leaving without saying anything. She couldn't find where Chrissy was at all, only that she was used to haunting the unobtrusive corners of the library.
Rachel runs away from all the libraries in the convent in one day, and if Chrissy doesn't get her warning, Rachel can't do anything about it.
It wasn't until Rachel left with her book and her companions that the library was quiet again for a long time before Chrissy Town emerged from the shadows.
Looking in the direction in which Rachel had disappeared, the girl sighed, "What a kind child...... Shall I tell her about Quirin Capala's whereabouts? Forget it, I'd better avoid it first......"
Chrissy's voice was as low as the wind, and the girl's figure had disappeared into the corner of the library as the daylight shifted from the library's glass window to the tilt of the light.
Because of the seclusion here, it is a blind corner during cleaning, and at this time it is silent, only a few shallow footprints on the ground, which proves that someone has really been here before.
