Agnes carried her suitcase and walked out of the gate between the high fences of the monastery. She walked towards the carriage parked on the roadside.
"Good morning, Mr. Ellison, may the Mother Goddess bless you." Agnes looked at the coachman with a peaceful smile and said.
"Good morning, Sister Pagani, I think the fact that this mission to send you to me is the blessing of the Mother Goddess." The coachman said with a smile.
"After all, the reward that Priest Spencer gave me for this journey is not low." The coachman reached out and took the suitcase from Agnes' hand and placed it on the carriage.
"Thank you." Agnes smiled and nodded her thanks as the coachman took the suitcase.
"Are you short of money?" Agnes stepped onto the carriage, but did not enter the carriage. Instead, she sat down outside and asked.
"Oh, it doesn't count. It's just that I have to think of a way to save some money so that my youngest son can learn some skills. He has just graduated from the church's Sunday school."
"In the past, it would have been fine to just pay some membership fees and leave them directly to the craftsmen of the guild to become apprentices, but now..." The coachman sighed.
"Now...the guild system has been abolished..." Agnes murmured.
"Yes, the guild system has been abolished," the coachman sighed and said, "It's troublesome now. It's very chaotic. We have to find out everything clearly."
"After those craftsmen left the guild, some were not ready to accept apprentices in the short term, and some were still accepting apprentices; some wanted to see how the children were doing, and some only needed to pay a little money; some had to pay a lot of money, Some have to pay less, but they are all different. In the past, these were all managed by the guilds."
Agnes listened quietly and said nothing.
"Forget it, you shouldn't tell these things to a nun." The coachman smiled and said to Agnes.
"No, comforting the hearts of believers is also the task of the nuns of the Mother Goddess." Agnes smiled and said again: "It's just a pity that I can't be of much help."
"Indeed, sometimes it is easier to complain to others." The coachman nodded.
"Sometimes I feel aggrieved when I am scolded by the guy at home, and I can't tell those guys in the tavern - those guys will laugh at me severely, and then run to pour out the bitterness to Priest Spencer." The coachman laughed. said.
Agnes couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and nodded.
"But to be honest, sometimes I feel that I am quite happy." The coachman said with a smile.
"Sister, we are leaving, won't you get into the carriage?" The coachman pulled up the reins and asked Agnes.
"Before leaving the city, I'm going to sit outside and take a look." Agnes nodded and said.
The coachman couldn't help laughing and said: "Sevia is really a wonderful city. Does Sister Pagani think so too?"
Agnes smiled and nodded.
"I heard one of my travelers say before that life in Sevia can heal every tired soul."
"A young couple moved here on Len'aner Avenue at the beginning of the year. It seems that because their original child was killed, his wife was in a very bad state of mind when she first came here. She stayed in Sevia. After such a long time, his wife has now recovered, they are pregnant with a new child, and they have now decided to settle down in Sevia," the coachman said casually.
"This is indeed a good thing that makes people happy." Agnes said with a smile.
"Hey, speaking of which, Sister Pagani, will you come back after going to Bodivia?" The coachman seemed to suddenly remember something and asked.
Agnes shook her head slowly and said, "I shouldn't come back. I shouldn't come back."
"Why?" the coachman looked up at Agnes and asked.
"Everyone really likes you."
Agnes shook her head with a slight smile, and then said after a long time: "I think my destiny is in the Southern Continent."
"Is this guidance from the Mother Goddess?" the coachman asked.
Agnes smiled and said nothing.
"Okay," the coachman said with a sigh.
The carriage drove toward the outside of the city amidst the sound of rumbles. It was still too early and there were no people on the road. Agnes looked casually at the green grass mixed with some withered yellow leaves on both sides of the road, as well as the Sevia daisies that were still in full bloom.
"The church bells are about to ring." Agnes said, turning her head to look at the church tower with its spire hidden among the layers of maple trees.
"when!"
The ethereal and melodious bell rang, echoing in Agnes's ears.
...
The city of Bodivia is not far from Sevia. We set off in the morning and arrived at the small town on the edge of the city in the evening.
Bodivia is slightly east of Sevia, um, or closer to Loen. Departing from here to Disi Bay is not much different from starting from Sevia. The only difference is that the port here is much smaller.
Agnes carried her suitcase and walked on a road that was almost covered with grass. The road to Anwar Castle was obviously in disrepair, but it was not completely untraveled.
She had already inquired about the location of Bodivia's Anva Castle during the two weeks she had been in Sevia. After arriving, she directly asked the coachman to find a hotel to stay in, and would go back after dawn tomorrow. Agnes, on the other hand, went directly to Anvar Castle after reporting her whereabouts to the church in the town.
Agnes rubbed the crown in her hand and looked at the shadow of the castle that was vaguely visible on the cliff.
She asked the priest about the situation of Anwa Castle in the town, and got a piece of news that was fairly in line with her expectations.
The priest told her that there was no one in Anva Castle anymore. Members of the Pagani family in Bodivia had been leaving, and they didn’t know where they had gone.
As far as the priest knows, there seems to be only one "Pagani" left in Anva Castle. This person was already there when he came. The priest came to Bodivia six years ago, Although Anwar Castle had declined at that time, it was not as depressed as it is now.
Agnes forcefully pulled the hem of her clothes off the thorns, glanced at the strip of cloth left on the thorns, and continued walking forward.
She just put on a nun's uniform and went up the mountain. She was not prepared to hide her identity, and even told many people that she was coming here to visit.
Anvar Castle was the former residence of the Pagani family. Her father said that many of the things she wanted to know could be answered here.
She does have a lot of things she wants to know, and the secrets of the Pagani family seem to be somewhat related to her past life. For example, the "thorn beacon" that would have been difficult for Agnes to identify if her mother hadn't used it, or the new question Agnes had only after her mother's death - why she was born into the Paganis family.
If some questions are not answered, those unknown answers will always torture a person's heart and make her doubt her own existence.
So Agnes decided to confront the answers to her questions, whatever they might be.
She raised the hand that wasn't carrying the suitcase and rang the bell in front of the castle gate.
