"Is he credible?" Walking out of the room, Agnes asked Alyssa.

"What do you think?" Alyssa asked.

Agnes frowned and said, "Although what he said was logical, I always felt that something was not quite right. ”

"I checked the veracity of his words based on the changes in his body when he spoke," says Alyssa. I'm sure he's basically telling the truth. ”

His answer was as if it had been rehearsed in advance, answering most of our questions at once, including his sources, how he got to Mr. Thief, and the clues about Mr. Thief, and even why he was fired. All the details were added perfectly, as if we were afraid that we would not be able to solve the case. Alyssa smiled sarcastically and whispered.

"Is this the person behind this case misleading us?" Agnes asked.

Alyssa shook her head and said, "I don't think so. ”

Alyssa did not continue to explain, the setting sun shining on her expressionless face, making her stand in the courtyard of the convent like a holy sculpture.

Agnes was silent, and she suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"Alyssa, are you done asking?" A muscular man dressed in the uniform of a church priest approached and asked. He looked to be about twenty years old, with dark blonde hair, blue eyes, and thick hair.

Alyssa's smile returned to her face, she nodded, and replied, "That's it." ”

The man turned to look at Agnes. Alyssa smiled and introduced, "I didn't have time to introduce it before. This is Agnes, our new member of the Nature Heart. ”

The man nodded, smiling heartily, and Agnes noticed that such a person smiled with a strange sense of purity, like a new grass growing from the melting of spring snow.

The man reverently drew a triangle on his chest and a vertical on it, and then said to Agnes, "Thank you Mother Goddess for making us acquainted." I am Frank Lee, a priest of the abbey. ”

Alyssa smiled and introduced, "Frank is a devout follower of the Mother Goddess, and is currently a 'physician', presiding over the work here at the Pavra Monastery. ”

Agnes was stunned for a moment, then drew a triangle on her chest and a vertical on it, and said, "Praise the Mother Goddess." I'm 'prisoner' Agnes Spinoza. ”

Frank wasn't supposed to behave like this, and the thought popped into Angness's mind.

"What's wrong?" Alyssa keenly noticed Agnes' pause and asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I had a classmate named Frank before." Agnes said with a smile.

"That's a coincidence." Alyssa smiled and didn't delve into it.

"Have you had any difficulties lately?" Alyssa asks Frank, "If you need it, you can go to the institute for help." ”

Frank shook his head and said, "I recently started planting seeds with the children of the monastery, just ordinary seeds, just need careful care, and I am ready to educate the children on how to plant. The only problem was that the kids were sick all the time, and I wanted to find ways to give them a boost. ”

"This is just Rhaenys researching, you can contact her if you need it." Alyssa said.

Agnes listened to their conversation, she looked at Frank curiously, and there was always a sense of disobedience in her heart.

"Alright, the 'hunter' is for you. I used some interesting stuff for him, and his extraordinary powers didn't work out for at least a month. Alyssa said with a smile.

"Then there's nothing wrong with that." Frank smiled and nodded.

"See you then." Alyssa said with a smile.

"See you later." Frank drew a triangle on his chest again and a vertical on it, saying, "May the Mother God bless us." ”

"Praise the Mother Goddess." Alyssa and Agnes did the same.

Alyssa walked out of the convent with Agnes. Agnes looked back and saw Frank standing at the door of the abbey, the orange setting sun shining on his dark blonde hair, making his already dark blonde hair seem to turn a blood-red for a moment.

Pavra Monastery is located at the end of Pudice Street in the Shallow Port District, about three blocks from Ginny Street, and is the only place in the Shallow Port District that provides free medical treatment to the residents of the area. As a result, Alyssa and Agnes were able to get Germain's neighbor to send Germain, who seemed to be ill, to be here.

Not far from the street, a horse-drawn carriage was parked. Alyssa took Agnes into the carriage, and Agnes heard the horse snorting as it pulled it, and the carriage moved slowly.

Agnes looked at Alyssa, whose smile had disappeared since she boarded the carriage, and she looked at the wooden floor of the carriage beneath her feet with a somewhat wandering gaze, as if thinking about something. Agnes didn't speak, she sat quietly next to her, looking at Alyssa.

After a long time, the carriage stopped in front of the Izulia Institute of Biological Research, and Agnes stood up, got out of the carriage with Alyssa, and walked into the institute building.

Alyssa grabbed Agnes before going up the stairs, and Agnes looked back at Alyssa.

Alyssa hesitated for a moment and said, "There are some problems with this case, don't you participate in it yet, I'll report to the captain later, and ask the captain to transfer you to Rhaenys, okay?" ”

Agnes smiled and nodded, and replied, "I don't have any problems, as long as the captain approves it." ”

Agnes didn't know what Alyssa was thinking about, and she didn't have any ideas to explore. After all, she was only involved in the Nature's Heart case on the first day, and there were many things she didn't know very well, and she didn't have the excessive curiosity that she wanted to actively pursue.

After all, it's just a case, and as long as she doesn't need to participate, it has nothing to do with her.

......

The next morning, Agnes arrived at the Izulia Institute and knocked on the door of Mr. Claude's office.

"Please come in."

Agnes held the doorknob and pushed it open.

"It's Agnes." Mr. Claude rubbed his forehead, looking a little tired, and he asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Captain, I'm here to give you yesterday's answer to my invitation to study here." Agnes said seriously.

"Ah, that's it." Mr. Claude sat up straight and asked, "What's your answer?" ”

"I discussed it with my mother yesterday and decided that it might be a better option for me not to study here." Agnes pondered her words for a moment, then spoke.

Mr. Claude was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly and nodded, "Okay, I see, after all, you have a lot of factors to consider. ”

"Of course, it would be appreciated if Mr. Claude was willing to give him a list of books to read." Agnes curtsy and said with a smile.

Mr. Claude shook his head with a smile and said, "That's what your mother said." ”

He took out a piece of paper full of words from the drawer at the bottom of his desk and handed it to Angnes, densely filled with words, all in handwriting. Agnes looked through them one by one, and found that they were all the names of the books, the authors, the publishers, and the parts that needed to be read.

"Didn't Mariana already know that I had prepared a book list," said Mr. Claude, with a somewhat helpless sigh, "just so far, you will be with Rhaenys from this day." She is very accomplished in physiology and pathology, you can learn this knowledge first, ask her for advice if you have questions, and communicate with her more. Well, she's usually either on a mission or in the lab. ”

"There are also some books on the list about otherworldly creatures, you can read them first to learn more about them, but there is a certain danger in reading these books, and it is best to read them with someone with you."

"These books are all available in the institute. You can find the normal books in the library, and the few books with supernatural knowledge, well, the ones marked in red, you can go to Dahmo, which is in the library under Dahmer's care. You can borrow the ordinary ones, but the ones with extraordinary knowledge you better not take out the institute. ”
