Chapter 100: Farewell
"The steamer will go down the Essul River to the Gulf of Dixie." Lord Rossi looked at Agnes and said.
"Since you're going to Bodivia halfway through, you can get off the boat in Seville and take the train."
"I know, Lord Rossi." Agnes nodded.
Angnes was dressed in a black nun's robe, her hair was covered in a white turban, and there was no skin on her body except for her face and hands.
"Although the church is not strong in the Southern Continent, there are still some deacons who can seek their help if they need help."
"I will." Agnes nodded.
"Then, child, may Mother God grant you peace, and I will always pray for you." H.E. Rossi made a prayer gesture.
"May Mother God grant you peace and health." Agnes also made a prayer gesture on her chest.
She took Rossi's right hand and kissed the ring on Rossi's ring finger. Lord Rossi took Agnes into his arms, put it on Agnes' cheek, and let go of Agnes.
"Rhaenys." Agnes said.
Rhaenys hugged Agnes, tears streaming down her shoulders.
"Okay, okay, keep communicating at all times?" Agnes wiped Rhaenys' tears and said helplessly.
"Okay, you have to remember." Rhaenys reached out and wiped the tears that ran down her cheeks.
"Hmm. Lord Rossi, and Rhaenys, goodbye. Agnes lifted the suitcase at her feet and nodded.
"Goodbye, Agnes." Rhaenys said, waving her hand
"May the Mother God bless you, Agnes." His Excellency Rossi made a prayer gesture on his chest.
Agnes nodded, turned and stepped onto the deck.
She turned her head to look and saw Lord Rossi wave at him again, and Agnes smiled, remembering the instructions of Lord Rossi in the church.
"When you use the identity of 'Agnes Pagni,' remember to follow the nun's 'Three Vows.'"
"I will, Lord Rossi."
"I'm sure you'll be a good nun."
"Outer and inner silence, humility and dignity, I believe you can easily achieve it, but that's not what I'm worried about."
"Happiness is the most precious gift God has given us to help us bear the burdens of life and the misfortunes and pains of the world."
"I say this to you every time you come to me, and I still want to emphasize it to you on the eve of your departure from Fenerport."
"You've got a little more smile on your face after you've embarked on the extraordinary road this year, and that's good."
"But after Mariana left, the depression on you became heavier and heavier. I understand the pain in your heart, but I still hope that you can get out of the pain as soon as possible, an unhappy person will not last long. ”
"I understand, Lord Rossi."
"May Mother God save you from the misfortune and suffering of your soul."
"Being 'Ella Poyesia' is a great way to vent that you don't have to be as constrained as you are as 'Agnes Pagni,' and I hope you'll be a little happier as 'Ella Poyesia.'"
"The 'Laugher's Mask' was an extraordinary item I acquired in my early years, and now I'm giving it to you. You can preset a fixed face, and this fixed face cannot be changed for at least half a year after the setting is successful. And when you use it, it can change your face, body shape, and even smell according to your preset appearance, allowing you to disguise more successfully. But be aware that the negative effects of this extraordinary object will gradually change your mind, causing you to gradually use other people's lives as your own toys, until your own lives are also played with by this mask. ”
"I hope you don't use it for too long, and restrain yourself to reflect on your behavior during the use of this mask in time to ensure that you are not changed by it. From this point of view, the identity of 'Agnes Pagni' is complementary.
"I see, thank you, Lord Rossi."
Agnes smiled and nodded to Lord Rossi, her eyes swept across the crowd and into the distance, where she saw her father looking at her with his cane in front of a carriage.
Agnes remembered her father's cane at her mother's funeral, silently watching the dirt cover the black coffin, while Aurerio stood behind her father, his eyes a little glazed.
She remembered that her father was silently watching her in the corner during the dressing ceremony, and that Aurerio did not come.
Agnes remembered that she was on her knees, kissing the earth with a hint of autumn frost beneath her feet.
"What do you want, child?"
"I ask the Mother Goddess of mercy to accept me into this order,"
"I will give up fame, wealth, and all worldly pleasures,"
"Ask for the love and divine grace of Mother Goddess,"
"May Mother Goddess lead me to perfection."
"You have abandoned your family and friends, your material things and all the good, painful memories of your past,"
"It has been decided that everything that will be done henceforth will be based on selfless love,"
"From now on, God is poor, chaste, selfless,"
"Treat the world with love."
"Go ahead, kid. Wash away your attachments to the world, and may your flesh receive this robe of humility. ”
Agnes remembered that Lord Rossi had untied her hair band, some cold scissors had cut her long hair, and the brown strands had fallen on the silver-white tray that reflected light and shadow like a mirror, and Lord Rossi had put a headscarf on herself, wrapping her short hair and neck.
She remembered kneeling before Lord Rossi and reciting her vows, and the nuns on either side of the church singing hymns.
"In the name of Agnes Pagani, I hereby swear to the Mother Goddess that I will continue to observe the ......virtues of selflessness, chastity and poverty throughout my life, in the witness of the Bishop and His Excellency Rossi."
She remembered that in the sound of hymns, Lord Rossi had put a ring on the ring finger of his right hand and a black turban for himself.
Agnes looked in her father's direction for a long time, and didn't come back to her senses until someone walked by.
"I seem to owe my father a goodbye to Aurelio." Agnes suddenly looked down and laughed, she waved her left hand to the bottom of the boat, then turned around and did not look down again, and turned into the cabin with her suitcase.
She gently lowered the suitcase in her hand and walked to the window of the cabin.
Agnes silently went out with her family to plush the other travelers, Lord Rossi saw Agnes's face, and reached out and waved again, Agnes smiled and waved her hand.
Her eyes turned to her father's direction, and she saw Aurerio step out of the carriage and look in the direction of the ship.
Agnes couldn't read Aurelio's expression clearly, but she couldn't help but smile.
The ship opened.
