Chapter XVII: Bishop Fernández

readx; In the dim candlelight, Peter bandaged Eva's wounded hands, and nodded in satisfaction knowing that there was no blood staining the bandage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He said to Eva dissatisfiedly, "You, you have to pay attention to yourself in the future." Don't be so desperate to get hurt. As he spoke, he looked at his bandaged hands, a little complaining and worried in his tone.

Eva smiled slightly, and just looked at Peter without speaking. Peter was embarrassed to see her, and his face turned a little red and bowed his head.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and Eva sighed in her heart when she saw him like this, so she had to say, "Well, I know Peter, don't worry, I will take care to protect myself." Besides, if you don't practice hard or seriously, what if there is really an emergency in the future? She said as she comforted Peter.

Peter couldn't persuade Eva any more, he could only sigh and force himself to smile widely.

Eva couldn't help but laugh when she saw Peter's appearance. She patted Peter's hand lightly and said to him, "Well, you see I'm all right now." Rest early, I'm going to morning class tomorrow, and by the way, you haven't forgotten what Fernandez said last time. We're going to the gathering point tomorrow with Wren and the others. ”

Peter suddenly remembered what Fernandez had told them last time, and as for why they went to the gathering point, of course, it was because it was a tradition of Cromwell's monastery, and every spring they would send monks to the gathering point to help the villagers do what they could.

If Eva hadn't said that he would have forgotten about it, now Peter said in a sullen voice with a sad face, "Oh yes, there is this matter, okay, rest early." Ay. As he spoke, he sighed and left the room.

After a night of silence, Peter followed Fernandez to his morning school as usual the next day. In fact, he didn't care about certain things before, but now he finally noticed the anomaly.

He and Eva were the only ones in the entire monastery who did the morning service alone, and a senior priest was in charge of the morning service schedule for both of them. Some of the young monks in the monastery had been criticizing Peter and Eva for a long time, but Peter himself had never known that he had to be reminded by Morientes to find out about the problem.

He followed Fernández all the way to a very small church where the morning service was held, and there were many such churches throughout Cromwell's Abbey. Most of them were private chapels of senior priests and clergy, and somehow no one was assigned a place for their morning classes and daily teaching until they were forced to come here.

In fact, there are not only these anomalies, such as the redemption house where they live is the most obvious example, but Peter was too young to put it here, so he never thought much about it.

Now, thanks to Morientes' reminder for unknown reasons, he finally realized this. However, no matter how much he asked, Morientes and Fernandez never said a word about the Redemption. Even Wren, who also lived with them, didn't know what was so special about the Redemption House, and Peter had a vague guess in his mind that maybe Ratfar was the only person he knew in the entire monastery who could tell him this answer, but unfortunately Peter forgot to ask every time he saw the other party.

By the time the two of them finished their morning class, it was basically noon, and at the urging of Fernandez, the two hurriedly ate lunch, and then trotted all the way to the main entrance of Cromwell Abbey to wait for Fernández and Wren to arrive.

Eva and Peter waited at the door discussing with each other about the redemption house where they lived. It's just that no matter how you discuss it, the two of them can't figure out the real reason.

Just as they were at a loss, Wren gradually walked through the doorway, this time he finally did not wear the black hood again, and his short blond hair was wantonly in Peter's eyes. Wren's handsome face drew closer, and after a moment his somewhat magnetic voice came to mind. "Peter Eva, you're all here, you're here early. He said with a smile as he walked over.

Eva looked at Peter and stammered, "Ah Wren, it's not too early, it's not too early, we've just arrived." Oh yes, you're going with us too, haha. Great, do you know how to choose us?" he said uncomfortably, his face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but scratch the top of his head with his hand when he talked about the unnatural place.

Wren pursed his lips and smiled, and greeted Eva beside Peter, and then tilted his head, thought about it, and suddenly said: "By the way, you are new here, and you don't know the rules, every time the monastery will find the monks who live together to go to the gathering point." There were only three of us in the Redemption House, so of course it was us. ”

Peter and Eva looked at each other, and a hint of doubt about the Redemption House came to their minds. Peter didn't ask Wren anything, partly because Wren didn't know, and partly because he saw Fernández coming from a distance.

When Fernandez saw that the three men were already waiting in front of the door, he nodded and waved his hand at them, saying, "Originally, we were supposed to go on foot, but since Peter and Eva were the first time, we will take the carriage this time." After he finished speaking, he motioned for the three of them to wait for a while. Sure enough, a knight came to the crowd in a plain-looking carriage.

The group waited until Fernández got into the carriage before boarding in turn. The carriage is not too big, just enough for four people.

Eva and Peter sat on one side, and Wren could only sit across from Fernandez. Along the way, Fernandez squinted, not knowing whether he was asleep or thinking about things. The three of them can't just chat casually, for fear of disturbing each other.

Peter could only sit there bored, and so they sat in the carriage during the day, and found a place to sleep in the open at night. After walking for about three or four days, I came to a very small village.

When Peter was far away from the village, he found that it was not the same place as the last time he had come with old man William. He couldn't help but wonder how many such gathering places there could be around the monastery. The village is so small that it seems to hold only about 200 people. When they stepped out of the carriage, a priest in a black monk's robe and two knights waited at the entrance of the village.

Fernandez walked over first, and the priest bowed slightly to him and said, "Waiting for Bishop Fernandez, please go this way." ”

Fernández nodded, did not speak, and waited until the two knights and the priest were leading the way before motioning for Peter to follow. Peter was taken aback when he heard the priest's words, and he hurried away and followed the priest. He whispered to Wren when he quietly turned around to make sure Fernandez hadn't noticed the three of them.

"Wren, did you know that Fernandez is the Bishop?" he asked secretly as he glanced at Fernandez behind him.

Wren was stunned and turned his head to look at Peter, he licked his lips before lowering his voice and asking in surprise: "Don't tell me Peter, you didn't know that Fernandez was a bishop." He was one of the few bishops in Cromwell's Abbey. Archbishop Bednar, you must all know that, right? Fernández is a close confidant of Archbishop Bednar, you don't know that. I always thought you had something to do with Archbishop Bednar. ”

Peter and Eva looked at each other, not knowing how to express their surprise.
