The bells of St. Bernadam's Monastery ring five times a day. Whenever the bell rang, the clergy gathered in the prayer room to chant together.

For the rest of the day, the main work of the clergy was from six o'clock in the morning to half past eight in the evening, presiding over the chanting and prayer services in the monastery, and the study of theology and other chores were interspersed with prayer activities.

Because of the presence of the Holy Sepulchre, the purity of the place of the Holy Tomb must be guaranteed according to the rules of the Pastoral District.

Therefore, nuns here must follow the strictest precepts to maintain purity - no love for anyone other than God, no loss of virginity, no marriage and childbearing, and not even exposing their skin to men......

Their lives are simple and boring, and although they are not tired, they have little time to breathe, and they have nothing but faith.

This was the daily life of the monastery described by Priest Aldred, and it is worth mentioning that the man had a faint, satisfied smile on his face as he recounted it.

He may have been full of affirmation and pride in the devotion and self-esteem of the nuns, but Arley found this peaceful stagnant life pathetic.

Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to devote oneself to penance.

"Then again, this statue of the Holy Son came here with you?"

Nicole boldly tapped the idol's buttocks, grabbed it again in the priest's murderous gaze, and then cocked her chin triumphantly.

"Ahem, ahem!" Aldred rolled his eyes and coughed frantically, looking angry.

"Where's the old idol?" Clark was afraid that the female knight would make the other party angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm and pressed it hard behind him.

When the priest saw that the impostor had finally stopped, he snorted and gasped and replied, "It's gone." ”

Nicole, who was hiding behind her lover, showed half a pretty face, and asked with interest, "Why do you want to deal with it?"

"It's ruined. ”

Now seeing this imposter nun, Aldred was angry and did not fight, so he simply looked elsewhere, and continued angrily:

"Maybe it's because of the weather, improper storage, and other reasons, in short, the statue is so damaged that it can't be used...... It was before I was transferred, so the details weren't very clear. ”

Yalei looked away from the idol and turned back to the priest, saying in a tone that could not be denied, "Just in case, take us to see the old statue." ”

"It's been destroyed a long time ago, and I don't know where the fragments are. The priest spread his hands helplessly.

"Then there's no need. The knight's tone soothed, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Someone is coming, everyone be serious." ”

As soon as the welcome fell, everyone, including Nicole, began to pray to the statue of the Holy Son, and Arei only had to open his mouth because he was dumb.

A few minutes later, a short and fat clergyman with a full beard and a beard entered the Holy Sepulchre with two or three middle-aged nuns behind him.

The man was dressed in a priest's robe, and on his rectangular face, the corners of his mouth were tightly closed, and he stared at Aldred for a while before he spoke:

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten the prayers of the night, the children are waiting for you. ”

"I haven't forgotten about jì. Alderede calmed down and calmly said, "You will conduct the prayers at night, and I will accompany Bishop Ike on a tour of this monastery." ”

"Bishop Ike?" the other party showed a wary look, walked quickly in front of the young bishop, gave a salute, and introduced himself with a straight look:

"Your Excellency the Bishop, in Lower Anis Jeram, Vice-Priest, I am honored to have the opportunity to meet you. ”

"May the Father's grace be with you. Ike quietly returned the salute.

"These are the belongings of His Excellency the Bishop...... Colleagues?" Annis had intended to use the word retinue, but luckily she caught sight of Are's priestly attire in time.

There are also clergymen in this group who are higher in rank than themselves, and if they shout out their retinue, it will be a self-inflicted disgrace.

"As you can see, this is the doorman Jiadilu...... This is Chris, a Bible reader...... This is the deputy priest Gonitz...... This is Priest Lucar, who is mute by nature, so don't pay much attention to him. ”

The bishop introduced him, and the deputy priest saluted everyone one after another, and when he was introduced to Yalei, the other party obviously showed a suspicious look.

He looks so fierce and vicious, and his eyes are still green and glowing...... Can this also be promoted to the priesthood, and the pastoral community will have a collective convulsion? How many believers must be frightened...... Will there be a scam in it!?

Seeing his expression, Ike immediately guessed the other party's thoughts, squeezed out a smile and racked his brains to fill in the omission:

"Lucar, he is a wounded and retired paladin, and he has only sat down in the honorary priesthood by virtue of his merits, because he specializes in punishing killing, and he is born from his heart, so his appearance is a little ugly...... Well, ugly, and not surprising. ”

Ugly brother-in-law, don't you want money!

"I see. Annis nodded in disbelief, and Areley smiled sinisterly and gave him a standard bear hug.

Finally broke free from the knight's bear embrace, the deputy priest breathed a little shortly and said: "It's already so late, why don't you let Your Excellency the priest take the parishioners to visit tomorrow......"

"It doesn't matter, we are also interested in the night view of the monastery. Ike was cheeky and directly blurred the other party's original intention.

"Your Excellency the Priest will also preside over the prayer ceremony, so I will lead you ......"

"Your Excellency, Vice-Priest!" said the young bishop, who suddenly raised his voice, and casually took the shepherd's staff, and said with a displeased face:

"I have heard of the rigorous and theological excellence of St. Bernadam's Abbey, and I sincerely came to learn the methods of management, and I just visited the monastery by the way. Is the deputy priest more vocal than the priest Aldred in terms of the experience of management?

"Don't dare. Annis replied in a reserved manner, and it was only then that he realized that the other party was no better than himself, and that the diocese, though in tatters, was after all a field bishop who could participate in the pastoral council.

"Very well, Priest Aldred, please lead the way. Ek summoned the priest with a command, left the short and fat clergyman, and swaggered out of the Holy Sepulchre.

Hmph, you don't listen to good talk, you have to put up a score to be sensible, a slut.

In the night, everyone went all the way west to the downstairs where the nuns were staying overnight, where there was a bay of lake, dotted with stars, and the reflection rippled with the water waves, which had a kind of peaceful charm.

Aldred pointed to a small two-story wooden building to the north and introduced them: "The road we have come to is the cemetery corridor, and from here the passage leading to the lonely building is the cloister of the washroom. ”

Beverly looked at the building, his eyes curled into a downward crescent moon, and laughed:

"What is the washroom, is it a bathroom for the nuns?"

Lydia kicked him lightly behind her and whispered, "You idiot, don't be ashamed if you don't know, it's a place like a sin chamber." ”

"Your Excellency, can we go and have a look?" said Areh suddenly.

"Of course!"
