Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 308 Seeing the Nun Again
Following the team of gardeners, Adele soon arrived at the stronghold of the Church of the Mother Earth in Port Behrens.

This stronghold is different from the square and box-shaped houses around it. It is built in the center of the street. The gates, each with the holy emblem of the Mother Earth Church.

This place used to be occupied by the Witch King of the Rose School of Thought, but it was later attacked by the Church of Evernight and handed over to the Church of the Mother of the Earth for stationing.

"The huge central patio can gather moonlight more conveniently, assisting us to perform a series of ritual magic, and it is also convenient for us to observe the phases of the moon and conduct some mystical research."

William Morais proudly introduced, "Now, there are not many places and instruments that can safely observe celestial bodies. This is the only place in the Southern Continent that has no risk of pollution."

Adele, who had a certain psychological shadow on the observatory, reluctantly agreed, walked into the gate of the Church of the Mother God with Morais, walked through the circular corridor, and finally stopped at the exit of the corridor at the bottom.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a huge cast iron door with patterns of ears of grain, flowers and babies carved on it.

"It will take some time for me to report to my superiors. You can probably spend an hour with Sister Vespa, and I will come to you later."

Morais took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and warned Adele.

"This time limit is..." Adele was quite puzzled.

"We delayed a lot of time on the road, and now it's early spring, and dusk comes very early." William Morais explained, "Every dusk is the evening prayer time of Sister Vesper. In winter and spring No one is allowed to enter the moon phase patio between [-]pm and [-]pm during the season."

She still retains her belief in the God of War... Adele didn't know how to answer, so she could only remain silent.

"Then, let me open the door for you."

William Morais was also not interested in entanglement. He reached out and took off the heavy latch on the door, then took off his outer formal attire, revealing the elastic vest he was wearing inside, and put his thick hands on the door.

His muscles swelled, making his whole body's section area about a third larger.With a dull creaking sound, the heavy cast iron door was pushed open by him alone.

It's really fierce... The strength of the cultivator is really terrifying. If such a punch is hit by an ordinary person, it may smash his head into the chest.

Adele was stunned inwardly. If she were to fight Morais, whether Morais could hit her was another matter, but she was sure that such a punch would definitely knock out her substitute.

However, she was only distracted for a while, and her attention was attracted by the scene in the center of the venue.

Surrounded by a wall made of bricks, tiles and cement, there is actually a garden-like site.All kinds of herbs and flowers grow gratifyingly, ignoring the requirements of solar terms and climate, and the plants of all seasons are kept in the best state of maturity at this time.

Surrounded by arnica, calendula, mother chrysanthemum, echinacea, and vitex, there is a tall woman over 1.9 meters tall, who is Sister Vesper.

At this time, she had already shed the heavy full-body armor, only a linen robe and long brown hair, making her whole back look like a winter tree: although the branches and leaves have already Withered, but contains a strong vitality.

At the sound of the door opening, Sister Vespa turned around.

Her movements are not slow, but due to her tall body, the movements seem unhurried, but there is an invisible pressure.

The exaggerated centipede-shaped scar on her face has disappeared, and her skin has become extremely smooth, like a bare tree heart.

However, Adele suddenly discovered where her sense of disobedience came from:
A white cloth was wrapped around her eyes, covering them completely.

Although the ability of the demigod is enough for her to solve many problems and allow her to move freely even if her eyes are covered, it does not allow her to really see through the white cloth.That is, she lost her eyes.

"When I heard the footsteps, I was still thinking, it shouldn't be Morais who came today."

The tall nun bowed slightly in Adele's direction. "Good day, Brewster . . . No, I shall call you Miss Circe now."

"Your eyes..." Adele unconsciously moved two steps towards the nun, "Is it the aftereffect of that battle?"

"No, this is the price of regaining strength, and it is also the reason why this place is not infected."

Sister Vesper pointed to the top of her head. Adele looked up and saw stone bridges stretching out from the edge of the tower at the top, fixing a transparent quartz container in midair.

And what was contained in the container was an eye that Adele was extremely familiar with, exactly the same as Sister Vespa's original pure blue eyes.

"One is here, and the other is in the Moon Phase Garden in Fenepot City." Sister Vesper nodded lightly, "The benevolent Mother Goddess gave them the power to purify them, and the others When looking at the phases of the moon, I actually go through the transition of my eyes."

"And you should also be aware of the role of this transition. In the apocalypse, obtaining information about those existences is an important thing, and someone must make sacrifices for it, maybe you, maybe me."

Sister Vespa stretched out her hand in Adele's direction: "I can feel that you have acted as a similar 'filter' before this, and even though the pollution didn't explode, it will leave behind the air that makes me feel like this. Traces that people can feel at once."

"...Sister, I have something to ask you this time." Adele hesitated for a while, and finally decided to follow the rules of the Church of the Mother Earth, delete all the social words, and asked directly.

"Well, I guess so." Vespa nodded lightly, "Then, if you don't mind, please sit beside me."

Naturally, Adele would not refuse. After taking a deep breath, she walked towards the middle of the garden.

After Adele walked into the garden, the plants shook one after another, making way for Adele, and she walked directly to the grass next to Sister Vesper, sitting on the ground like the nun just now, with her back leaning against the grass. Looking at the black sarcophagus that Adele had seen once.

Sister Vespa also sat down beside her again, still in a kneeling position, with her upper body facing the sky all the time.

"It seems that you are very confused now." Sister Vespa said softly.

Adele nodded, she is indeed in a complicated mood now.

"So, what doubts do you have?" Sister Vespa asked gently.

Adele opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know how to speak, and the instigator's eloquence was useless at this time.Even the most cunning criminal becomes like a child in the presence of Sister Vespa.

Too many things happened, too many people were involved, too many forces were involved.

Too many people have died, and more people are working hard to survive. Where can one or two questions be clear about the joints in the middle?
"...I don't know." In the end, Adele answered honestly.

"Then you are really puzzled." Sister Vespa chuckled slightly, "Then how about this, can you tell me the story of your period of time? You can sort out what you have experienced, Think about what you want to ask."

"Well, maybe that's a good idea."

Adele nodded, expressing her approval of the other party's proposal.The light and shadow of the leaves reflected on the stone bridge and the light spots flickered, making her a little distracted.

"Let me see, where do I start..."

Adele said to herself, and then clapped her hands excitedly. "Then, let's start with me getting to know Venata, after all, that's also the beginning of our relationship."

Sister Vespa smiled quietly, nodded, and listened to Adele telling the stories intermittently.

Adele seemed to experience a sense of peace she had never experienced before, and it reminded her of Altaïr Brewster's less-than-impressive father.

If Gagran felt like a mother to her, then Sister Vesper was like a father or a big brother. Just standing on the side would make people feel stable from the bottom of their hearts.

As for Miss Audrey... Adele couldn't say it well, but she subconsciously felt that, compared to relatives, friends, teachers and classmates, that lady was more like some kind of inhuman existence. She for him.

Adele babbled on, starting from the two people who didn't know each other, talked about the kingdom of twilight, talked about the Statham family, talked about old Lynch and the toad, talked about those female workers, and talked about Rayleigh and his family. Father, we talked about the Witch Sect, we talked about the underground, and finally we talked about the future.

Unlike Audrey and others, Adele doesn't need to worry about whether these problems will affect Sister Vespa. After all, she is a "filter", and in this regard, she is the same as Adele.

"Finally, I'm here."

Adele said with some self-mockery, "The things I experienced along the way are enough to write a novel, and it is definitely better than "Storm Heights". However, this does not give me a clearer understanding of my goal .”

"But from your description, you've done well enough, and you've been positive enough."

Sister Vespa's face was still gentle, and she didn't have any emotional fluctuations.The original warlike soul seemed to have been stripped away, leaving behind a soul that was kind enough to be written into the holy scriptures, and continued to take on the responsibility of the filter in this brand new body.

"Well, it's all because I know I should be positive."

Adele sighed, "I know what I should think and what I shouldn't think. Only think what I should think, so that I can always maintain the freedom to do what I want to do."

"I'm confused, not because I'm being pushed by the big guys; I'm not asking if you know about these things, or to make sure you're a pawn. Because I don't have an aversion to it, so I don't So confused."

"Nothing is holding me back, I should be free, but that's why I'm confused."

"Dear Sister, can you answer my question?"

Speaking of this, Adele's voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Okay, I think I understand your confusion." Sister Vespa frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said to Adele:

"You are a lucky person. You don't care about the truth of things, but because of this, you are closer to the truth than anyone else. They are affecting you, and your perception will gradually be distorted."

"In life, this attitude may make your life easier than others; however, if you are not prepared, then when that day does come, you will bear far more trauma than others."

"Growth scars, scabs, like the human body. Although they have described the appearance of the kingdom of heaven, the reality is still riddled with holes."

Sister Vesper turned her empty eye sockets covered with white cloth to Adele, and Adele shuddered for no reason, as if the nun in front of her could read people's hearts.

"You've told the story of Rayleigh, and Smith, and Wagner, the stories of people who might not have been seen by the big men."

"They are also free, but their freedom is not the same as yours."

"But the indisputable fact is."

"Society...no, the whole world is advancing the same way and needs to be torn apart."

"And the remaining blood scab needs to be peeled off."

"Possession and loss coexist, but we can only advance towards rationality. This is the last resort for human beings to fight against the starry sky. Even after so long, it has not changed."

Afterwards, Sister Vesper closed her mouth, as if she felt that she had said enough, enough for Adele to adjust herself.

Adele's expression gradually became confused and quiet, and the answer to this question was still somewhat difficult for her.

Sister Vespa didn't continue talking, but just sat next to Adele, waiting for her to figure out the question herself.

The two leaned against each other like this, sitting quietly on the grass, watching the changing light and shadow leaking from the top of the moon phase platform.

Unknowingly, it was a quarter past four in the afternoon, and Adele heard the sound of William Morais pushing open the door behind her.Although she didn't look back, she knew that the gentleman with the green knuckles had been quietly waiting outside the courtyard garden.

"It's time for you to leave, and I'll be praying for the rest of the day that it won't be safe inside the patio."

Sister Vesper stood up and patted the blades of grass on her body, "I hope what I said today can help you. Also, I heard that you are going to represent the fleet. May the glory be with you."

"...Before I leave, I have one last question."

Adele also stood up, took two steps towards the door, but quickly turned around and asked:
"The you just now, was it you, or you?"

When hearing this question, Sister Vespa's smile froze for a moment, and then Adele heard her answer.

"Anyway, is it really important to you?"
