"Karrov had investigated the monastery, and I had checked it, but again I had little to gain, and I had very little information other than to confirm that the fourteen people on the list actually existed. Dolan drank the rest of the wine and pressed the glass on the table, "Generally speaking, people who live in that kind of place are very united and wary of outsiders, and I was afraid that any further investigation would alarm the temple, so I stopped the investigation, but I made an unexpected discovery in the meantime. ”

"Oh, what did you find?"

"There was a second-order priest who carried the Pope's token with him, and he went around the monastery the day after Grandma Bernice died, and left after not staying long, and coincidentally, he had been present when the new abbot was inaugurated, and the two of them had a secret conversation all afternoon, so when he left the monastery I sent someone to follow him. "Dolandau.

This was the second time Lolo had heard such a person mentioned, and it had been in OGreench that Mama Teresa had spoken of a priest with a papal token who had come to the abbey after Elulia had left and before her wedding, and if nothing else, Doran had found out that it was the same person Mama Teresa had said.

Lolo's eyes lit up, and the priest's figure had been looming throughout the incident, obviously a very important character.

"Unfortunately, the guy was cunning, he disappeared when he realized he was being watched, but I found his place in Rystanton, it was a rented room, not large, on the second floor of a bookstore, it was very clean, he must have gone back before my people arrived, packed all the important things and threw them into the fireplace to destroy them, but he left in a hurry, so he still left one thing behind. ”

"What's that?"

"Manuscript paper. ”

"Manuscript paper?"

"Yes. Dolan opened the drawer again, "Blank manuscript paper, he wrote a letter on his desk, the power of the nib of the pen as we write will sometimes be transferred to the next page, leaving some marks on it, I used charcoal to draw the handwriting on it, and copied it, you can see for yourself." ”

Dolan took an envelope out of the drawer and handed it to Lolo, and the girl opened it, only to see that it was written

- October 976 (vague) day of the Magic Calendar, Caterina's plan is progressing smoothly, the twenty-eighth candidate is in the north, waiting for more details (the middle words are missing), the shepherd dog is suspicious, please ask if to change, and in addition, it is suspected that he is being targeted by unknown forces, and will change his identity in the near future.

"Katerina is the first name on the list. Dolan added, "Although it was the longest time now, because it was the first time, the temple was not very proficient, so I left the most information, I found this girl's hometown, a small village in the western part of the free city-state, in the year she was born, there was a fire in the village, including her parents, a total of more than 20 people died, and interestingly, these more than 20 people were basically relatives and friends with her parents." ”

"Are all those orphans in the Sith Monastery artificially created?" Luo Luo thought of a terrifying fact, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.

"More precisely, the girls on the list, the children outside the list are indeed orphans, and these people on the list, they come from different places, free city-states, Lionheart Empire, Holy Alliance, I even found a human girl born in the kingdom of the dwarves, who lost their parents and family for various reasons, and then were taken to the Sith Monastery, the youngest of whom was just a full moon, the oldest was fifteen years old, and the temple seemed to have some way of finding the person they wanted, but unfortunately the handwriting on the manuscript was too light to be legible。 ”

"How so, what about the abbots of the Sith Monastery, do they know the origins of these children?"

"Mother Bernice obviously knows the most, after she retired, Mother Teresa took over her work, but the time was very short, she didn't have time to know too much about Elulia before something happened, and then she rushed to the territory of the Brayton family, during this time everyone's eyes were basically focused on the north, the Sith Abbey side was an old woman in charge, and the new abbot took office after half a year, but I suspect that including Mother Bernice, these people in the monastery may know only a little bit about it. ”

Dolan paused, "Shepherd dogs don't need to know whether their owner's purpose is to eat mutton or shear sheep, they just need to help their owner faithfully protect the flock." ”

"So, what happened to my mother back then had something to do with this Katerina Project, and if she hadn't met my father, would she have disappeared from this world so quietly?"

"This plan is absolutely secret even in the temple, and over the years I have captured and tortured some ordinary clergy, but none of them have heard of such a thing. Dolan said, "But don't worry, I'll continue to investigate the matter of Eluria, and you can stay in this manor during this time, it's safe for me to run it, and the people of the temple won't find you." ”

"Thank you for all this you have done for my mother and me, but I can't wait here and watch unrelated people die for my business, I'll go find the whereabouts of that second-order priest, and go back to the Sith Monastery to see if I can find out anything, I wonder if you have any other clues to tell me. Luo Luo carefully put away the list and the envelope, but he didn't have any intention of staying.

"This is not a wise choice, you have touched the trap of Gotaris, the temple will soon realize that you have returned to the north, and they will surely start a search for you later, and you will have no one to trust in this land but me. ”

"No, there is another person who I know I can trust unconditionally at all times. The girl said firmly.

"Women, you always make the same mistakes, don't you?" muttered Dolan.

Luo Luo frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you think I don't know who that person is outside, your affairs in the south have long been reported, you were in danger at that time, and you need to use external forces to fight against the temple, so I won't blame you, but now that you have gone home, you don't need to be wronged by anyone, I am no longer the person I used to be, now I want money, money, power, power, and power, and I will not lose to anyone again, the most important thing is that I love you more than anyone else, and I can even give my life for you, after so many years, don't you know how much I miss you, Eluria？”
