The mystery about the Auvergne family puzzled Sinampei, and this doubt was also faithfully written on his face when he was still young.

"Si, what's wrong with you?" Trisha asked with concern after noticing Sinampei's momentary distraction.

"Oh, no, it's nothing," Sinan Pei shook his head with a smile, "Let's go in quickly, you see, the old gentleman over there seems to be waiting for you, don't let people wait for a long time." Sinan Pei pointed to the old man in ink clothes standing in front of the door with a smile on his face.

Theresa nodded, stopped talking to Sinampei, and greeted the old man directly: "Father Clément." ”

"Hello. The old man Clement also greeted Theresa with a smile, "May the Lord bless you, Miss Theresa." That one over there is Mr. Nampey Si, who has recently gained fame, right?"

Sinampei also stepped forward to salute: "Hello, Mr. Clément. It's presumptuous, but I would like to remind you that in my hometown, the surname is put before the first name. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Si. There was no anger on the old man's face, he still looked calm and humble, "It seems that you come from a country that values your ancestors quite a lot. ”

Taking advantage of this time to greet each other, Sinan Pei took a closer look at the old man.

He was not tall, and his figure had grown up with the erosion of time, the wide black robe covered his body, barely hiding some of his thinness, his white beard was very long, hanging down to his chest, his face was wrinkled, and he was already in his old age no matter how he looked at it. But his eyes were bright, and his wise gaze was scattered through the cloudy lens, penetrating the bottom of the human heart.

The first feeling he brought to Sinampei was wisdom.

Even such a gaze made Sinan Pei feel creepy - in the face of such a gaze, Si Nanpei had the illusion of being stripped naked and exposed in front of people, as if all his secrets had been seen through by him and there was nothing to hide.

When chatting with Theresa, Sinampe had already learned that the old man's name was Clement de Alière, and that he was nearly eighty years old, but he still held on to his church post and did not retire. According to Theresa, he is also a distant relative of Theresa, and his behavior is admirable enough.

As a young man, he was also a nobleman, a vassal of the House of Auvergne, and his fiefdom was located here - his surname originated from the lake of Arière, which was far from prosperous at that time, and was only inhabited by a few fugitive serfs, who, because of its geographical location, occasionally settled in this place, and Clement did not oppress them, but provided them with shelter, and was as generous as his masters, the Auvergne family. Under his wing, the town of Alie grew to what it is today. But good people are always not rewarded, his only son was killed in a sneak attack in the war of succession between the Capetian royal family and the island nation of Caledonia, and his wife also died of despair and depression soon after the illness, and he was in the presence of the Auvergne family, he donated the small plain where the town of Alie is located to the town hall of Alie, and he entered the monastery as an ascetic, and then he was busy with the kingdoms of Eugenia and even with the eastern pagan saint Saint Eugenia. On the battlefield of the war, he saved all the wounded soldiers regardless of friend and foe, countless people were alive, and won the respect of almost everyone, including the infidels, and the Pope praised him several times, if it were not for his lack of interest in promotion, and for his reputation, I am afraid that he would also be a high-ranking member of the Church.

Although he was not posthumously canonized, some people have begun to call him St. Clement. Theresa was also embarrassed when she said this.

But reverence and respect, Sinampei was still reluctant to face such a figure, which reminded him of the old professors he faced when he was in college, who had stayed in school all their lives—in some ways, some of their traits were indeed very similar.

Sinampei smiled a little reluctantly: "Yes, Mr. Clément, sometimes, we value 'inheritance' more important than life, we have encountered foreign invasions that forced us to change our customs, but there are many people who would rather face death than dishonor their ancestors." ”

"Child, you come from a country of courage and weight. Clément's face was full of love, "But sometimes it's more important to preserve your own life, as long as you still have life, you can change it in a single breath." This is a responsibility not only to your family, but also to the God who gave you life. ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Sinampe smiled silently, he wondered if Clement had taken this as a portrayal of himself, had he encountered a foreign invasion and then crossed the ocean to come here? Or maybe he was alluding to the current Capetian kingdom - this country is also facing external troubles, and the Crown family of the Galledonian royal family in the west has been fighting with the Capetian kingdom intermittently for decades under the guise of having the legal right to inherit the throne of Capet.

The words have become a bit heavy here. After the two parties saluted again, Old Man Clément led Theresa to her prayer room.

Sinampei didn't follow up, he is not a believer, compared to following up to visit the "religious culture" here, it is better to pass the time in a silent daze.

Ironically, the king of Caledonia also owned two dukedoms in the kingdom of Cape, and successive kings of Caledonia recognized him as their de jure master, but this did not prevent them from declaring war on their masters. Fundamentally, they were also outsiders to Caledonia, having been vassals of King Capetian three hundred years ago, relying on the king's support to cross the channel and conquer the island nation of Caledonia – their claim to the throne also came from their intricate relationship with the Capetian royal family. The poor aristocracy played this game of succession for power and profit, but it was the common people who suffered, and although Theresa's territory was peaceful, the west and south were already in mourning, and almost every family had men killed in battle. It is only a common thing that the farmland is barren and uninhabited, and many villages and even towns have been abandoned until now. Many refugees fled to Auvergne, which contributed to the prosperity of the Auvergne territory.

The war had long since changed its flavor, from a war of succession to a war between two peoples - the feud between the two sides was too deep.

After seeing Clément, Sinampei suddenly realized that the war that was quite far away from him in the past was only a stone's throw away from him at the moment, and in this era, he would face the threat of war anytime and anywhere, even if he wanted to avoid it, it would never be possible.

Sinan Pei thought to himself, do I need to change?ps: When I went home yesterday, I was shocked to hear the bad news, the dog that I had raised for many years unfortunately died half a month ago, I don't know if it was poisoned or a sudden illness. Heartbroken and unable to help myself. I thought I was a cold and rational person, but I didn't expect that I was still so fragile that I couldn't see life passing...... The manuscript has been used up yesterday.,Try == another chapter.
