When Lolo opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on the bed in the inn. Rob had released two small fireballs, which were circling around her body to help her get rid of the cold.
Just three days ago, when the two were about to reach the outskirts of Stanton City, there was a sudden rainstorm. The carriage sank into the mud. To keep a low profile, the two did not use any magic. After abandoning the carriage, they walked in the rain for a period of time. Logically speaking, with the physique of two professionals, the journey should not be a problem. However, that night, Lolo suddenly fainted while taking a bath. She then began to have a fever, and her body temperature was frighteningly high.
As the research on mimicry magic continued to deepen, the future Supreme Magus was already able to use some simple healing spells. However, these healing spells had no effect on the girl. So Luo Bu helped Luo find a doctor that very night. After taking the medicine, the illness was finally under control, and the high fever was reduced to a low one. However, the girl still did not wake up. She would lift the quilt on her body if she was not careful. Sometimes, she would even cry and laugh, muttering inaudible words in her sleep.
These few days, it was Rob who took care of Lolo. He fed her water and medicine, and even helped her wipe her body until she woke up. The girl sat up on the bed with her arms supporting herself. She was a little confused. "What happened to me?"
"How do you feel now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Lolo thought for a moment. "Nothing. I'm just a little hungry and weak."
"Okay, then I'll ask the boss to make you something to eat." Rob got up and went downstairs. When he came back, he brought a bowl of hot milk and two pieces of freshly baked wheat bread. Lolo wolfed it all down, and finally, the hunger that seemed to be able to swallow anything was gone.
After that, the girl asked someone, "What day is it now?"
"September 12th."
"Huh? It's been that long? Why don't I remember anything? Did something happen? "
"The doctor said that it's because you have been tense all this time, and your emotions are fluctuating. Coupled with your exhaustion, your body is reacting to protect you." Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, said, "You seemed to have had a few nightmares in between. Can you still remember what they were?"
Lolo shook her head. "I haven't been sick for a long time. I only remember taking a bath in the room that night. It was very comfortable to soak in the hot water … Wait a minute." The girl seemed to recall something and suddenly panicked. "When I fainted, did you … did you save me?"
Rob pointed at the girl's right hand. "Have you forgotten that we have a Blood Contract Magic? If you are in danger, I will be able to sense it immediately."
"Ah ~" Lolo let out a cry of surprise. After a while, she asked in a daze, "You … You didn't see anything, did you?"
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor smiled. "Yeah, I didn't see anything."
"No, that's impossible. How could you not have seen anything in that situation?" the girl said with a sobbing tone.
"Then why are you asking me?" Rob raised his eyebrows.
On the bed, Luo Luo was speechless.
…
Two days later, the girl had almost regained her strength. This inexplicable illness had come and gone quickly.
As soon as Lolo recovered, she dragged Rob to the Sith Monastery to investigate Katerina's plan that Doran had mentioned. In the end, the two were not even able to enter the gate.
The Sith Monastery was an orthodox school for nuns. The nannies and nuns in the monastery followed extremely strict rules. Apart from a few older nannies who were in charge of communicating with the outside world, the rest of the nuns lived a simple life in seclusion. The Sith Monastery was not open to the public except on certain days. It was even more difficult for young men like Rob to enter.
However, it was not completely impossible. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, originally planned to find the Haifa Trade Association and ask them to forge a fake identity and enter the monastery in the name of donations. A place like this required a large amount of money to maintain.
A monastery would have at least a few dozen people, and at most a thousand. It was not a small amount of money to provide for the basic necessities of so many people. The nuns in the monastery would usually make some handicrafts and textiles in exchange for a portion of the subsidies. The church would also allocate funds. However, because the monastery would regularly treat the children of the poor nearby and distribute food and medicine, the money was far from enough. This gap needed donations from the community to make up for it.
As long as the donor's request was not too excessive, the monastery would try its best to agree.
However, when the two were about to find the person in charge of the Haifa Trade Association in Stanton, they unexpectedly met a novice nun named Ariel.
The girl stood on the other side of the wall and grabbed the iron bars. "Hey, I heard what you were talking about."
"Huh?"
"You were stopped by Mother Sandra when you wanted to enter the monastery, right? Listen, I might have a way to let you in. "The girl moved her face closer to the iron bars and blinked.
"Who are you? Why are you helping us? "
"My name is Ariel. I'm just a nobody here. Of course, I can't help you unconditionally. In return, you have to do me a favor. What do you think?"
"What favor?" Rob asked.
Ariel pointed at Lolo. "You can lie and say that you're my distant cousin. We met once when I was very young. After that, you got married. Recently, you heard that my family is gone. So, you and your husband came here and want to take me away to live with them."
"You want to leave this place?" Lolo was a little surprised. "But from what you said just now, you don't have any family outside, right?"
"It doesn't matter. I can make money to support myself." Ariel stuck out her small chest. "No matter where I am, what I do, even if I'm a beggar, it's better than staying here."
"Why?"
"You've never lived in a monastery before, so you don't know how scary this place is. Everyone eats the same food, does the same things, speaks the same language, gets up on time every day, eats, does homework, and works. It's like it will never change. Every day is the same. You can tell what your future will be like just by looking at those old nannies." Ariel shuddered. "I don't want to live like this."
"The outside world is very complicated. It may not be as beautiful as you think," Rob said.
