Fairy’s Box

The bells of St. Bernaham's Abbey are tolled five times a day. When the bell rang, the clergy gathered in the prayer room to chant together.

In the rest of the time, the main work of the clergy is from 6:00 in the morning to 8:30 in the evening, presiding over chanting and prayer ceremonies in the monastery, studying theology, and other chores interspersed between prayer activities.

Because of the existence of the Holy Sepulchre, according to the rules of the Patriarchate, the purity of the place of the holy must be guaranteed.

Therefore, the nuns here must follow the strictest precepts in order to maintain their purity - not to love anyone other than God, not to lose their virginity, not to marry and have children, not even to expose their skin in the presence of men...

Their lives are simple and boring. Although they are not tired, they don't have much time to breathe. They probably have nothing but faith.

This is the daily life of the monastery described by Priest Aldred. It is worth mentioning that when this man narrated this, there was always a faint, contented smile on his face.

He may be full of affirmation of the piety and self-esteem of the nuns, and he is sincerely proud of it, but Yale finds this peaceful life like stagnant water very sad.

Of course, everyone has their own aspirations, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to devote themselves to hard work.

"Speaking of which, does this mean that the statue of the Holy Son came here with you?"

Nicole boldly tapped on the buttocks of the statue, and then grabbed another savagely under the priest's murderous gaze, and then lifted her chin proudly.

"Cough cough cough!" Aldred rolled his eyes, coughed frantically, and looked like he was blown up.

"Where's the old statue?" Clark was afraid that the female knight would make the other party angry, so he quickly stepped forward to grab her arm and pressed it hard behind him.

When the priest saw that the fake nun finally stopped, he hummed and panted and replied, "It's dealt with."

Nicole, who was hiding behind her lover, showed half a pretty face and asked with great interest, "Why do you have to deal with it?"

"Damaged."

Seeing this fake nun now, Aldred didn't get angry, he simply looked elsewhere, and continued to say angrily:

"Perhaps it was due to various reasons such as the weather and improper storage. In short, the statue was damaged to such an extent that it could not be used... It happened before I was transferred, so the details are not very clear."

Alei looked away from the statue, turned back to the priest, and said in a tone that couldn't be rejected: "Just in case, take us to see the old statue."

"It's been destroyed long ago, and the fragments don't know where they are." The priest helplessly spread out his hands.

"Then there's no need." The knight's tone softened, and he was about to say something when he suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Someone is here, everyone is serious."

Welcome Gangluo, everyone, including Nicole, began to pray to the statue of the Son of God in a similar manner. Because Yale is set to be dumb, he only needs to open his mouth.

A few minutes later, a short and stout clergyman with a full beard and a squat stature stormed into the Holy Sepulchre aggressively, with two or three middle-aged nuns behind him.

This man was wearing a sacrificial robe, with a serious rectangular face, the corners of his mouth were tightly closed, and he stared at Aldred for a while before he said:

"His Excellency, have you forgotten your prayers at night, the children are waiting for you."

"I haven't forgotten." Aldred calmed down and said calmly, "You can preside over the prayers at night. I want to accompany Bishop Ike to visit this monastery."

"Bishop Ike?" The other party showed a vigilant look, walked quickly to the young bishop, gave a salute, and introduced himself in a straight-forward manner:

"His Excellency the Bishop, under Annis Jeram, the rank dean, I am honored to have the opportunity to meet with your Excellency."

"May Heavenly Father's favor be with you." Ike returned the salute calmly.

"These are all of His Excellency the Bishop's... colleagues?" Annis originally intended to use the word entourage, but fortunately, he caught sight of Yale's priestly costume in time.

There are also priests of higher rank than themselves in this group. If they call out their followers, it must be self-inflicted humiliation.

"As you can see, this is the gatekeeper Jiadilu... this is the cleric Chris... this is the deputy priest Gonitz... this is the priest Lucar, born dumb, don't worry too much he."

As the bishop introduced it, the deputy priest saluted the crowd again and again. When Yale was introduced, the other party clearly showed a suspicious look.

He looks so ferocious, and his eyes are still green and glowing... This can also be promoted to priests, is the Patriarch's collective convulsion? How many believers must be frightened... Is there any fraud in it! ?

Seeing his expression, Ike immediately guessed the other party's mind, squeezed out a smile and racked his brains and said:

"Lucal is a retired paladin who was injured and retired. He was an honorary priest because of his merits. Because he specializes in punishing and killing, he is born from his heart, so his appearance is a little ugly... Well, it is not surprising that he is ugly."

Ugly your brother-in-law! Don't want money anymore!

"That's it." Annis nodded suspiciously, and Alei showed a hideous smile on the opposite side, and gave him a standard bear hug.

After finally breaking free from the knight's bear hug, the deputy priest breathed a little too quickly and said, "It's already so late, why don't you ask the priest to show you the church members tomorrow..."

"It doesn't matter, we are also very interested in the night scene of the monastery." Ike was cheeky and directly blurred the other party's original intention.

"Your Excellency the priest will also preside over the prayer ceremony, so I will lead you..."

"Your Excellency!" The young bishop suddenly raised his voice, casually leaning on the shepherd's scepter, and said displeasedly:

"I have always heard of St. Bernaham's monastery's rigorous style and exquisite theology. I sincerely came to learn the management method, and I just visited the monastery. Regarding the experience of management, does the aide-de-camp have more say than the priest of Aldred? Do you despise me, the bishop of Hagia Sophia?"

"Don't dare." Annis replied cautiously, only then did he realize that the other party was no better than himself. Although the diocese was dilapidated, after all, it was a field bishop who could participate in the Patriarch's Council.

"That's good, Priest Aldred, please lead the way." Ike summoned the priest arrogantly, left the squat clergyman, and swaggeredly led the crowd out of the Holy Sepulchre.

Hmph, if you don't listen to what you say, you have to be sensible until the uncle puts up a score, a bitch.

In the night, everyone went all the way to the west and came to the downstairs where the nuns stayed overnight. There was a lake, dotted with stars one by one, and the reflections rippling with the water waves, which had a peaceful charm.

Aldred pointed to a two-story wooden building to the north, and introduced them: "The road we came from is the cemetery corridor, and from here, the passage leading to the solitary building is the washing room corridor. "

Beverly looked at the building, his eyes were bent into a crescent moon, and he laughed:

"What is a washroom? A bathroom for the nuns to shower?"

Lydia kicked him lightly behind him and scolded softly, "You idiot, don't be ashamed if you don't know, it's a place similar to the penance room."

"Your Excellency Priest, can we go take a look?" Yale said suddenly.

"certainly!"
