Chapter 107

A guilty conscience. "Leave, Pastor Lawn won't meet anyone for the time being." A dry, stiff voice suddenly came. Li Wen raised his head and discovered that an ugly dwarf was wiping the windows on the top floor of the monastery. It's so late and it's raining. Isn't the other party afraid of slipping on water stains and falling? Li Wen glanced at Egret and found that the other person was also looking at him, as if waiting for her to answer. "Who is Pastor Lawn?" Li Wen asked the dwarf who was cleaning the window directly. "You don't know Pastor Lawn?" The other party looked particularly surprised, and even stopped the movements of his hands. "Pastor Lawn is the most compassionate and most favored priest in the monastery. The entire old city knows his name and the good deeds he has done." It sounds like a highly respected person, and in the Glorious Religions, such a person is usually an extraordinary person who is most likely to sacrifice for the road. That is what Li Wen is looking for, someone who is good at advanced purification or dispersion techniques. "Then do you know why Pastor Lawn doesn't meet anyone? We have some difficulties and need his help." The dwarf seemed to mumble, but his voice was too low, "... Because Pastor Lawn is not in the monastery, it is naturally impossible to meet anyone." "Do you know when he will come back? Or, are there other priests in the monastery?" Li Wen raised his eyebrows. The church in Leicester City is not a country church like Aker Town, so naturally there cannot be only one priest. "I don't know, maybe soon... maybe tomorrow. Mr. Lawn left without telling anyone... the other priests of the monastery... they went to participate in the funeral ceremony organized by the nearby parish." Funeral ceremony? Did all the pastors participate? The more Li Wen thought about it, the more strange she felt. She looked at the dwarf who was cleaning the window and asked flatly, "Then can I go into the monastery and wait? After all, it is raining outside and we have no other place to rest." The dwarf glanced at her and nodded after a long silence. "Yes, Munen Monastery welcomes any good people, as long as you obey the rules." After saying that, the dwarf closed his mouth, absorbed in the work at hand, and had no more words. Li Wen and Egret looked at each other and then walked into the monastery. "It always feels eerie..." the egret whispered. "This is a church of glory, a monastery of candles and light." Li Wen reminded, "If you feel gloomy, it is better to think about whether you have done anything immoral." Li Wen herself has done a lot of immoral things. In order to gain strength and join the strategy team, she often performed various cruel blood sacrifice rituals. But so what? The targets of her blood sacrifice are all notorious aboriginals and even players who have committed many crimes and have no intention of repenting. When such people are crushed to death as a stepping stone, the religions and the picket bureau have to award her with medals. Chapter 110 Origin "Light a lamp in the dark night and lead the way for the blind." This is a piece of advice engraved right above the monastery door. This historic building is much larger than Li Wen imagined. After entering through the gate, there is a ceremonial hall for prayers and church ceremonies. The huge hall is brightly lit, and there is a wall-mounted candlestick on the wall almost every few steps. The candlelight is swaying with the cold wind intruding from the outside, but even so, the bright enough light can still bring enough comfort and peace of mind to people. Li Wen seemed to vaguely hear the sound of children singing. The sound seemed very close and yet very far away. This is not surprising, because this is a monastery that serves as both a church and a seminary. Nearby residents will send their young or unable to raise children here to reduce the burden on their families. Those children will be educated and raised by priests and nuns. When they grow up enough to make a living on their own, the monastery will let them choose to leave or stay to serve the Radiance. The vast majority of people will choose the latter, because they can only grow up normally after being blessed by the light and the church. "I didn't know there was such a church here." Bailu said slightly uneasily. Her voice was very low. She probably didn't want to talk to Li Wen. But Li Wen still heard it. She did not correct the difference between the church and the monastery. Instead, she wondered, "The Moon Abbey is the most famous and legendary territory of the Glorious Religions in Leicester besides the Gospel Cathedral. How could you not have heard of it after you have been here for so long." What's more, Li Wen knew about the Moon Abbey because the logistics minister had talked about this place with her in her previous life. But Egret shook her head in confusion. "I really don't know." Li Wen wanted to ask, but before she could speak, all the stained glass above and below the monastery shattered, and then it was like a cold wind swept through the monastery, and all the candles were extinguished in an instant. Almost instantly, Li Wen pulled out the Crow Feather Dagger and entered combat mode. She was about to remind the egret, but when she attached a curse-free arc light to the dagger to use it as lighting, she realized that the egret was no longer around her, and the entire ceremony hall was empty except for her. The air was still filled with the smell of burned grease, proving that the candlelit scene before was not an illusion. Li Wen paid attention to her surroundings with vigilance. She discovered that the voices of children singing that she had vaguely heard before became louder and clearer, until the entire ceremony hall was filled with the sound of singing, as if a group of invisible children were gathering in the hall, loudly singing radiant praises and gifts. What was supposed to be a sacred scene became extremely weird in such an environment, and the strong contrast made people feel uneasy. At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside. Li Wen turned around and found several people dressed as priests walking in through the rain. They all ignored Li Wen's presence and walked directly past her. Only a white-haired bearded priest nodded apologetically to Li Wen. The priests gathered in the main hall, lit a candle together, and then said a prayer. As solemn and neat prayers sounded, the voices of children singing slowly became fainter until they disappeared. Then the priests stopped praying, relit the extinguished candles around them, and left through the side doors to unknown destinations. Only one person was left in the main ceremony hall, and it was the white-haired old priest. He had a kind and solemn look on his face, and his tone was low but firm. "They were just having a little fun. I hope they didn't cause trouble to the guests." Li Wen consciously did not ask who "they" were. In this world where mystery is rampant and knowledge has power, nothing that happens is surprising. "Who are you?" She looked at the old priest inquiringly, even though she had already guessed about the other person's identity. "I am Lawn, one of the current priests of the monastery." Sure enough. Li Wen was not surprised. She calmly said to the priest, "My companion has been under someone else's spell and needs your help. But just now, she suddenly disappeared here. Do you have any clues?" "Disappeared?" Lawn looked very surprised. He thought for a long time and finally said apologetically, "Sorry, the monastery This kind of thing has never happened before. They may be playful when they are alone, but they will never do anything harmful to others... I don't know where your companion is. "Even the old priest doesn't know, so maybe it can only be said that this is Bailu's own trouble and problem. It can't be that the other party's home is disconnected and forced to quit the game, right? Li Wen thought about it carefully and thought it was reasonable. It's not a disconnection, but a forced exit from the game. To prevent
