Witch Monastery

Each church has different restrictions on its priests, and the Goddess of Life happens to be the most lenient one: she is not even willing to impose too many restrictions on the believers in her church. Every time she performs a miracle, she will actively encourage those believers who are just beginning to fall in love to boldly pursue their own love and enjoy the joy of life itself.

If it weren't for the fact that the public in this era could not tell the subtle differences between the various churches and generally believed that nuns could not get married, and that the girls who voluntarily became nuns were also aware of cutting off love, otherwise the pursuit of nuns who believed in the Goddess of Life would probably line up to the beach.

However, the fact that the goddess of life was lax in controlling her believers might not be generally known to ordinary people, but Anno certainly knew it. The priest's marriage was naturally out of the question, so she was so unscrupulous that she even asked Cuibisi directly about Hawthorne's hobbies.

The naive Anno thought that the relationship between Hawthorne and these nuns was just a pure fellowship, and he did not notice the subtle ambiguous atmosphere between them at all.

Cuibis was secretly annoyed in her heart, but then she concealed this emotion very well. She turned around and said with a polite smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this either. The priest reads and exercises every day, day after day. Apart from that, he has no other entertainment activities."

Cuibis was indeed not lying. After all, “day after day” was the reality in the monastery.

Hearing this, Anno sighed: "Mr. Hawthorne really lives like an ascetic, a self-disciplined and hard life!"

Chapter 113 Celine is Back

After coming to this conclusion, Anno's admiration for Hawthorne increased. Cuibisi smiled, but the malice in her heart could not stop surging, and finally turned into a mocking speech, saying: "Yes, this is the original purpose of our joining the monastery."

"After all, our strength is so weak. If we don't practice hard and instead run around every day and flirt with people from other monasteries, when monsters appear again in the future, we might be defeated and tied up by the cultists in a very embarrassing position!"

She said this, deliberately poking at Annuo's scar. She originally wanted to say something more blunt, bold and shameful to provoke this young paladin, stir up her anger and make her lose control.

But considering that she also had to take into account the external image of the monastery, she had to suppress her inner impulse and swallowed the rest of the words.

Unfortunately, Annuo, who was now fully thinking about what kind of gift to bring to Hawthorne next time, did not understand the hidden meaning of Cuibisi's words. She simply understood Cuibisi's words as "this nun is emphasizing that Father Hawthorne's life is very hard", and frowned slightly with heartache, and then a light bulb flashed in her mind.

Since he is also training in sword and shield combat techniques, his life is so hard and his body is so thin, why not bring him some nutritious food next time you come!

As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly became clear and smiled at Cuibisi: "Thank you for your reminder, Sister Cuibisi. I will leave first, and we will see each other another day!"

Having said this, she turned and left quickly. Cuibisi had a polite smile on her face, but when she walked away, she was suddenly filled with doubts.

What's going on? Did she understand what I just said?

If she understood, why was she still laughing?

But if she didn't understand...what did I just remind her of?

She didn't know, and for a moment she felt extremely confused and uneasy.

……

A few more days passed.

After receiving the spell book from Anno, Huo Sang adjusted his schedule. He read the whole book roughly, and then he couldn't help but sigh that although the highest spell recorded in the book was only five rings, the total number was beyond his imagination.

If you buy it at the normal market price, I'm afraid it would be difficult to buy it even with two thousand gold coins.

You must know that even a skilled worker in Libel Port only earns about 60 gold coins a month. An 80-square-meter house in Nangang District usually costs just over 1,000 gold coins.

However, Annuo gave away such an expensive spell book without any regret. It can only be said that in Libel Port, the upper class society is very different from the lower class society.

With such an exclamation, Hawthorne then adjusted his study plan and prepared to learn a few second-level spells first before learning other things.

The only second-level spell he currently possesses is the Wind Creation Spell. Although he can upgrade those first-level spells, they are still far inferior to the real second-level spells.

As a spellcaster who is already at level 4, this is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Moreover, this book looks like it was written by a wizard who often goes out on adventures.

This book basically covers all the spells that are useful and have very high practical value. After learning them, you can improve your combat effectiveness very quickly.

In addition, An Die said that the difficulty of learning "Painful Magic Explosion" is relatively high, so he decisively adjusted his original plan and decided to learn a few second-level spells first!

However, the difficulty of learning a second-level spell is much greater than that of a first-level spell. Even with the help of the "Eye of the Rune Guardian" and the second-level study, it took him a whole week to finally master a second-level spell.

Obscurity.

The effect of this spell is to make your figure blurry and flicker in the eyes of others for one minute. This makes it difficult for the enemy to hit you. It is another very valuable self-protection spell.

Although this spell is not so useful against enemies that do not perceive through normal vision but through other means - such as specially trained blindsight warriors, bats that locate through ultrasonic echoes, or mud monsters - in the material world, generally speaking, its practical value is still very great.

"Well, not bad..."

After learning it, Hawthorne cast a haze spell on himself, and then tried the effect in front of the mirror. Looking at his own blurry body in the mirror, he nodded slightly.

In this way, combined with the mage armor and the second ring's false life, it is unlikely that ordinary people's weapons can hurt me.

Even if you encounter something like a heavy crossbow, you can put on the Armor of Agathy and defend against it!

The only drawback is that this set of protection consumes a lot of mana...

There is no other way. Improving physical condition cannot be achieved overnight, so just make do with it!

Restraining his slightly insatiable mentality, Hawthorne turned his head to look at the spell book on the desk and sighed.

A second-level spell would take a week of hard study to fully master. But what about the third-level spell? The sixth-level spell? And the ninth-level spell?

I’m afraid it will take me forever to learn a magic spell!

At this time, you have to envy the magician. He only needs to copy the spells into the spell book and use them smoothly in battle. There is no need to remember the spells from beginning to end in his mind. His efficiency is so much higher than yours!

Oh, forget it, forget it. Who made me choose the Blade Demon Contract in order to improve my overall combat effectiveness?

It’s the bitter thing you chose, so you have to finish it even if you grit your teeth!

As he was sighing, a new mosquito flew in from the window. It was obviously Andre's apostle. Hawthorne saw the little guy out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly he began to look forward to it.

Who could be coming to see me again?

I hope it's An Nuo, not Porter. Oh, if Porter wants to pay the deposit for the house first, then she is also welcome to come...

Who wouldn’t like someone who gives money?

He was looking forward to it, but when the mosquito landed on his ear, it brought him a piece of news that he absolutely did not want to hear: "Master, hide quickly, Xilin is back suddenly!"

Chapter 114: Strange Monastery

Immediately, Hawthorne stood up from his chair, his eyes full of disbelief.

Oh my God, it’s only been so long, why is she back again?

Shouldn't you come back less often?!

He cursed inwardly. He had just lived a peaceful life for more than a month, and now he had to live a life of fear again. Naturally, he was extremely unwilling to do so.

But there was no other way. With Celine's strength, he had to bow his head. So Hawthorne went out and headed straight for the dormitory, while saying to Mosquito beside his ear: "Notify the others to come back immediately and hold Celine back. Then let Cuibisi ask as much as possible about her purpose of coming back this time and when she will leave."

"Of course, the most important thing is not to arouse her suspicion!"

As he said this, he had already reached the dormitory entrance and pushed the door open. Even though he felt extremely aggrieved, the situation was stronger than he was, so he had no choice but to dive in.

At this moment, outside the gate of the monastery, on the dirty and muddy street on the slum side.

It was rare that Celine returned to the monastery again after less than two months.

She was still wearing her unique, milky white nun's robe with gold trim, and even though her upper body was slightly leaning forward with her hands in front of her chest in a prayer position, her full breasts were still standing tall. The thin fabric fell on her raised buttocks, outlining a full and round line, and just one glance was enough to arouse the desire in her body.

In terms of figure alone, even the plump Heidi would be slightly inferior to this nun.

But if you look closely, you will find that Celine's belly is actually slightly bulging, as if she is pregnant, or as if she just ate too much.

In fact, this was because just yesterday, she had completely devoured the soul of a young man in the wilderness area.

The man was a gifted horse herder. Although he was shy, he was an expert at handling horses. Even the most aggressive horses would quickly calm down and allow people to ride them after he soothed them.

He had this talent and also a desire for a better life. So Celine artificially created an opportunity for him to be noticed by a nobleman who started out as a horse trader, who hired him to work as a horse herder in his home at a high salary.

Although this job is not very noble, for a low-level person like him, it is already

It is a rare opportunity to change your destiny.

The young man was naturally grateful and full of hope for the future: as long as he worked hard and saved money for a year, he could buy a new house for his parents so that they would no longer have to live in the slums. In two or three years, he could save enough for his own new house and propose to his beloved girl...

In his joy, he drank a little wine and relaxed his usual vigilance. When passing by a casino, he was attracted by the hustle and bustle and the heavily made-up ladies inside. Then, he suddenly had an impulse and decided to go in and try his hand.

Then, under the incense of the casino, the bodies of the white flowers, the doubled chips, the praise of the crowd and most importantly, the spiritual suggestion of Celine, he forgot about time and principles, gambled more and more, and became more and more addicted.

It was not until the casino cut off his right hand according to the bet he had just made that he suddenly woke up and realized that his life was ruined!

In despair, he put all the blame on the casino. Hatred, regret and unwillingness made him exude a strong sense of resentment. And it was not until this moment that Celine finally took action and ate this man's twisted soul.

Therefore, Celine was now feeling full and satisfied, and was too lazy to check on the progress of other foods. She decided to go back to the monastery and take a rest first.

It can be considered as a way to digest food.

However, in addition to digesting the food, she also came back this time to find out how they were handling the Die issue.

But as soon as she came back, she immediately noticed something different.

Ok?

How come there is a grocery store in front of the monastery besides this soup kitchen?

She was puzzled, but she stepped in and saw that the place was spotlessly clean. There were iron shelves on both sides, with scissors, iron basins, harpoons and other metal utensils on one side, and various daily clothes from hats to shoes and socks on the other side. There were even special styles of underwear in the corner...

Is this opened by my witch sisters?

How could they have the time to do these things?

She didn't understand, but then she saw the door on the side of the grocery store being pushed open, and a figure wearing a nun's robe, but with a tall and charming figure, walked in: "Welcome...ah, Sister Celine?"

The nun who came in was none other than Tribis, who was sent by Hawthorne to manage the money. She pretended not to know that Celine had returned, her face full of surprise, and hurried over to hug her hand: "When did elder sister come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Xilin smiled and said, "I felt the need to take a break, so I came back. But why did you guys open such a weird grocery store? Are you short of money?"

Cuibisi's lips curled up. She had already made up an excuse: "It's not that we are short of money. I found that we rarely show up for work. The residents around us are beginning to wonder where we get the money. After all, the Church of the Goddess of Life is notoriously poor."

"So, we decided to open a small shop like this. Look, am I doing it nicely? Does my eldest sister like it?"

She showed off her work to Celine like a child. Celine smiled and said, "How can you sell metal tools and daily clothes together? Your store is too weird."

Having said that, her eyes and smile were extremely gentle, as if she was looking at her child's proudest work.

"Because that's all we know." Cuibis pouted. "We bought a piece of land behind the monastery and set up a blacksmith shop and a sewing shop. Would you like to come and have a look, elder sister?"

In just one sentence, the rest of the buildings were explained.

As for the altar?

That thing was farther away, and Hawthorne had walled it off in advance, so it looked as if it didn't belong to the monastery, so no explanation was needed!

Xilin shook her head slightly: "No, I have to go back to my room and rest for a while. You ask the other sisters to come to my room and talk about what happened in the past two months."

Cuibis pouted and muttered as usual, "Why don't I report to you?" Then she closed the outer door of the grocery store and walked back to the monastery through the inner door with Celine.

However, as soon as she came in, Celine's brows frowned slightly.

This monastery...why does it feel so strange to me?

Chapter 115 Celine's Suspicion

Celine frowned and couldn't help but slow down her pace.

Although upon closer inspection, the walls, the flowers, the rooms, and the furnishings were all exactly the same as when I left.

But I just feel... Why does this place no longer seem like the home I built?

Sensing Celine's abnormality, Cuibisi's heart skipped a beat, but she still put on a smile and asked, "What's wrong, elder sister? Why don't you leave?"

Celine took a step forward, her beautiful eyebrows still furrowed, her yellow-green pupils scanning the surroundings: "It just feels... not right. Cuibisi, have you done anything else to the monastery?"

Cuibis was worried. What did they do to the monastery? There were many things, including but not limited to room renovation, area expansion and monastery upgrades...

But she kept a normal expression on her face: "No, I just bought a piece of land and built a simple sewing shop and blacksmith shop. Didn't my sister come back just two months ago? Did you feel this way then?"

Xilin shook her head slightly: "It seems... not. Ah, the time I stayed last time was short. Actually, if I think about it carefully,

There are still some differences..."

"Forget it, let's go back and rest first."

She said this at last, and Cuibisi's heart was in her throat. After hearing her say this, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She continued to smile and sent her to the room to rest.

The two witches returned to Celine's room together. Compared with other people's rooms, the decoration here was gorgeous: there were huge windows on the east, south and west sides, ensuring the best lighting, although the curtains were usually drawn to prevent light from seeping in.

The interior of the room is filled with various transparent glass prisms, which decompose the sunlight from all directions and make the room full of colorful light.

This is Celine's hobby, which is related to her true self: her true self is a crazy optical magician. When trying to use two slits to unlock the secret of "light", she discovered inexplicable errors in the rules, which attracted chaotic energy from outside the world.

The overwhelming energy wiped out him and his wizard tower, but the many optical lenses and instruments he stored were mixed together to form a huge, dazzling and irregular transparent crystal, which is now Celine.

Because of this origin, her bedroom must be filled with colorful lights to make her feel comfortable.

However, this arrangement was not so comfortable in the eyes of other witches.

Being illuminated by lights of different colors, Cuibisi felt a little uncomfortable. She squinted her eyes and tried to avoid the ubiquitous light.

But Celine didn't care about her feelings at all. She walked to her big glass bed, lay down, squinted her eyes, and rested while waiting for others to come.
