Chapter 61: The Old Lady of Pudice Street
"Little girl, are you alright?" The old lady's concerned gaze in front of her made Agnes smile a little.
She shook her head and replied with a smile, "I'm fine." ”
Agnes is now on the street of Pudde, and this is the rare opportunity she has recently found to be able to get out on her own.
Despite the fact that she had obtained a lot of information through various means, she decided to see for herself the residents of the streets of Pudis and the monastery of Pavla.
It's been three days since the last time I saw Trevor Accardo for the first time. Yesterday she and Mr. Accardo discussed the details of the score, and today she finally had the rare time at her disposal. She didn't take Hetty with her, and came to Pudice Street disguised herself as a school girl to ask for some details.
According to Aurelio, two months ago, on that day, the inhabitants of the streets of Pudice did not notice anything special, and what happened in the monastery of Pavra was also revealed to be that a wanted criminal had broken in and killed the temporary priest.
According to the information she received from Renys that day, due to the special seals used by the church, the ordinary residents of Pudith Street did not suffer any damage in the battle of the Extraordinary, but among the Extraordinaries of the Church, in addition to the Sequence 9 priest who was directly killed and Alyssa, who was replaced by the contamination from Angnes, there are several other people among the watchmen who have been contaminated by the "primordial moon" and are still being purified in Celia. And the Monastery of Pavre, as the place where the incident took place, has been purified several times, but it is still uncertain whether the pollution has been completely eliminated, so it is cordoned off and not allowed to enter by ordinary people, so as not to cause harm.
The most innocent of these is Frank, who finally returned from the promotion of Sequence 7 "Harvest Sacrifice" in the middle of this month, but the monastery he was in charge of was inexplicably gone, and he could only choose to go to the institute or a few churches in Fenerport City. According to Rhaenys, Frank ultimately chose the institute, but instead of joining the "Heart of Nature" team, he decided to concentrate on his species hybridization.
When she heard the news, Agnes felt a sudden feeling in her heart for some reason, and felt that something was wrong. But listening to Rhaenys, Frank was quite happy after making this decision, and he was so engrossed in research these days that he basically forgot about the Abbey of Pavre. Agnes let go of the inexplicable worries in her heart, after all, even if there was any problem, it didn't matter to her now.
She asked Rhaenys how the investigation into the cause of the incident at the Abbey of Pavra was, and Rhaenys hesitated for a moment before telling Agnes that the reason behind the incident was highly secrecy and that she did not have sufficient authority to know about it. But over the course of two months, several high deacons were found to be showing signs of depravity and sent to Celestia for trial.
It was not surprising that Agnes was in this situation, for some factors that she could not yet remember, the Mother Earth Church established two major systems of benefactors in the "earth" and "moon" paths and "divine favorites" in the non-two paths, and demanded that oracles obtained by non-gods be invalid if they were not confirmed by those who were not gods.
Despite the guarantees of these two systems, it is a guarantee that the oracle of the church will not go wrong, and there are still some believers or clergy who are deceived by evil beings and go astray and degenerate little by little. This is inevitable, and the Church can only strengthen the monitoring of the extraordinary and deal with the signs when they are discovered.
And this incident seems likely to have something to do with the church.
Why did the adherents of the "primordial moon" choose the monastery of Pavra? Why did Alyssa go to Pavra Monastery? Obviously, he has reminded Ms. Jones and His Excellency Rossi of Alyssa's abnormality, why did Alyssa still have an accident?
Agnes thought about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing special about the Pavra Monastery, if she had to say it, only the extraordinary power was weaker, closer to the shallow harbor area.
As far as Agnes knows, the Abbey of Pavra was built in 1258 as the first monastery on the banks of the Essur River to provide a place of healing for sailors who came and went. This function has not changed much to this day, and it is a pity that the Pafra Monastery still provides free treatment to the residents of the shallow port area.
The old lady brought Agnes a glass of water, looked at Agnes with pity, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, and look at your face as if you are about to faint." ”
Agnes took the water with a smile and put it symbolically to her lips.
When she walked to the street of Pudice today, a group of children whizzed past her, and she hesitated, but did not resist, and let their impact carry her to the ground.
The old lady was beside her, and she kindly picked up Agnes and asked her to sit down on her own stool beside her.
This is a touch of porcelain, Agnes thought to herself, if she had not joined the heart of nature, she must not have been willing to pretend to be weak to achieve her goal.
The pale complexion she had cultivated in the underground church for two months had become the best disguise, and anyone who saw her would think that she was not in good health, not to mention that Agnes had deliberately adjusted some details to make herself look even weaker.
"If you had come two months ago, you would have visited the Monastery of Pavla." The old lady said regretfully.
Agnes paused with her cup in her hand and looked up and asked, "The Monastery of Pavra is not open yet?" ”
"Not yet." The old lady glanced at Agnes and said, "If you ask that...... Did you come to the Pavra Monastery to see a doctor? ”
Agnes nodded slightly.
The old lady sighed.
"No way, the Pavra Monastery hasn't been opened since it was locked down by the church two months ago."
Agnes hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Mother-in-law, you live next to the convent, do you know what is going on?" ”
"What else could happen? The new priest was killed. The old lady snorted coldly and said.
"Who knows where the wanted criminal came from, sneaked into the monastery, it is estimated that the priest found him and killed the priest directly."
"That new priest is quite young, not much older than my grandson, and he is also a kind person, who knows that he will be killed, what a pity." The old lady said with a sigh.
Agnes sighed as the old lady did, and her fingers rubbed the walls of the cup slightly.
"Didn't the man who lived near the monastery hear or see anything that day?" Agnes asked.
