Chapter 204: Where Does Divine Grace Come From?

Project Caterina - The co-ordinators of the church in the Sith Monastery have always been the successive abbots, and they play the role of shepherd dogs in it, until Dolan's people are found to be following them, and the priest in charge of this matter has mentioned in a letter to whom he does not know to change the next co-ordinator, and not long after that, the old abbot resigned, according to the previous logic, the new abbot, Mama Rosamund, is undoubtedly the most suspicious.

It is not for nothing that the abbot was chosen to cooperate, the abbot has the greatest power and the strongest control over the abbey, like tonight, Rosamund wants to leave the abbey quietly alone, just find some excuse to keep Mama Sanders away, and it is not so easy for others to go out, except for one person - Mama Sanders.

The latter is the second-in-command of the Sith Abbey, and is about the same generation as Mama Rosamund, who is responsible for managing the discipline of the monastery, and this includes the right to enter and exit the gates.

As if thinking of something, Rob said, "You saw us talking to Avril by the iron gate in the afternoon, so you knew from the beginning that we weren't her cousin or brother-in-law." ”

Mama Sanders kept her mouth shut and didn't speak.

"The letter you placed on the table in the abbot's room on purpose to induce us to suspect Mama Rosamund, and the scene you played before you left the convent at night, I should have thought that only those who spend time with Mama Rosamund would know about her habitual little actions, and you intended to use her as a shield from the beginning. ”

Mama Sanders remained silent.

"You designed to kidnap Avril, you must know where she is now, don't you?" said Lolo.

Mama Sanders' lips moved, but she didn't speak.

The current situation is a bit tricky, Mama Sanders seems to have made it clear that she doesn't plan to speak, although she is just an ordinary person, but her will is very strong, the threat of death has no effect on her, she is not strictly a bad person, so some means of dealing with other people are not suitable for her.

At this moment, Mama Rosamund, who had not spoken before, suddenly sighed and said, "Sanders, is what they said before true, and that child is in danger now?"

"I ...... I do not know. The old woman's pupils shrank suddenly, and then her voice was hoarse.

She could ignore Rob and Lolo, but she could no longer remain silent in the face of the abbot's questioning.

"Who instructed you?"

"I'm sorry, Dean, I can't say. Saunders clenched her fists, and she looked struggling.

"Well, Sanders, is that girl named Margaret all right now?"

"Dean?!" Saunders looked up sharply and lost her voice.

"You don't really think you can keep it a secret from me, I'm the abbot of this monastery anyway. Rosamund stood up and walked up to Grandma Sanders, "There were a lot of suspicions in that incident, although all the evidence points to you, but I never doubted you, we have known each other for almost half a lifetime, I think I know you well enough, you like the children of the convent as much as I do, I believe you will not hurt them." ”

"Dean. Mama Sanders was ashamed and moved, "What I have done has a clear conscience." ”

"Really, then why do your hands tremble when the two of them say Avril might be in danger?" Mama Rosamund's gaze seemed to look straight to the bottom of her heart, "What are you worried about, Sanders?"

The latter looked dazed, and then muttered as if hypnotizing himself, "No, they're lying, I'm doing the right thing......"

"I've been waiting for you in church tonight, and I understand that your heart is full of confusion. Mama Rosamund said softly, "Do you know why I put you in charge of the Vinaya? Because you are always constantly examining and reflecting on yourself, you have not slept well for half a year after Margaret' was buried, and you still stand in a daze where she once fell, that child has no friends in the convent, and she is closest to you on weekdays, and she treats you as her grandmother, and the most painful person in the whole monastery after that incident is actually you." ”

"Dean. Two lines of cloudy tears were left on the old man's emaciated face.

Mama Rosamund's eyes lit up with pity, and she said softly, "Sanders, why did you become a nun back then?"

"In order to receive the charism, I kept practicing. The latter replied.

"Where does the grace come from?" said Mama Rosamund, grimacing.

"From ...... The church?"

"No, from here. Mama Rosamund pointed to Mama Sanders' chest, "Doing what you think is right in your heart is practice." ”

"Isn't it our vocation to obey orders from the Temple?" said Mama Sanders hesitantly.

"We are clergy, not soldiers, Sanders. Mama Rosamund said gently.

The latter's heart was shocked, and she lowered her head to think, and during this time Mama Rosamund did not disturb her again, and when she raised her head again, she looked at Rob and Lolo on the side.

"Annarip, he's probably going there with Avril. ”

"Anarip?" the future Arch Magister frowned.

Anarip is a large snowy mountain, located in the northeast of the Holy Alliance, because of the low temperature and harsh environment known as the forbidden area of life, except for a few hardy magical beasts can no other life there to survive, is a veritable no man's land.

"It's just my guess, Marven is very careful, I have asked him many times where these girls will be sent, but he never answers me, Margaret has been away for seven months after that incident, judging by the time he must have gone far away, I noticed that when I came back there was an extra necklace around his neck, and there was a string of handwriting at the bottom of the necklace, and I peeked at it while he was not looking, and it was the name of a small town, which was less than fifty miles from Annarip, and I also saw cold protection and mountaineering equipment in his luggage。 Mama Sanders explained.

"That guy named Marven, do you know anything else?"

Mama Sanders shook her head, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I'm not familiar with Marven, I only know that he has a token from His Majesty the Pope, he is a very gentle and polite priest, I don't see why he is angry about things, we usually see each other once a month, he will ask about the daily situation in the convent, but only care about a few girls." ”
