Giving meaning (2)

Indeed, it is a landscape that can be called a superb view.

The coast is famous for being the most beautiful in the territory of the Jahul frontier.

As they made their way through the forest road that had been going on for a while, and the open coast was revealed at once, even the workers who had been there many times exclaimed with admiration.

The beach, which shines romantically in the midday sun, seems to be lined with jewels.

However, by itself, it is a landscape that is no different from what you see from the coast of Aken Island. What caught the eye above all was the appearance of the monastery towering in the middle of the vast sea.

Cledric’s Monastery.

Even for a monastery built of crude bricks, the size and grandeur of this monastery makes the viewer feel overwhelmed.

The straight spiers rise high in the sky without realizing they are high, but six or seven can easily pass over it even if you count it only with the naked eye. The rock wall erected high below it naturally plays the role of a fortress.

It cannot be compared to buildings such as the Ophelis Pavilion or Trix Pavilion, the largest in Sylvania. It looks like a castle that looks like something out of a fairy tale, floating on the sea.

“You probably won’t be able to get in now.”

Kylie Eckne, who was sitting across from him… In other words, Saint Clarisse in disguise looked out the window and said:

“It seems that the high tide is in full swing… I can only go in after sunset and the water goes down.”

“okay…?”

“Perhaps on foot. You may have to carry your own luggage with you.”

Kylie, who was sitting in a small place and tidying up her uniform, smiled.

Surprisingly, the travel time was not long. Is it about half a day by horse-drawn carriage? It feels like the carriage has accelerated a bit, but it’s still a lot closer than I expected.

In the first place, Aken Island was right next to Count Jahul, and this Cedric Monastery was also within the territory of Count Jahul, so it wasn’t too far away.

“It is significant that no matter who comes, I have to get off the carriage and walk on my own feet. In order to enter the Cedric Monastery, the imperial family of a country and the saints of the Telos Church must all walk in equally. There is no way for carriages to pass because it is only a short-lived road at low tide.”

“It’s a more troublesome place than I thought.”

“Under the protection of the God of Telos, the teaching that we are all human beings is implied.”

“…”

“Well, actually, I think that’s why I brought it up later.”

Even as the saint herself, I can’t argue with anything like that.

However, the workers sitting nearby laughed and laughed.

“Uh-huh, this young lady is surprisingly well aware of the essence of that monastery. It’s the first time I’ve seen you, are you affiliated with a bachelor’s degree?”

No matter how disguised she is, at first she is a girl who calls herself a marginal aristocrat.

However, they could not have imagined that a girl of that level would be riding in the wagons of these workers, so the workers intervened in our conversation with innocent tones.

“I’m a first-year member of the Magic Department.”

Surprisingly, this girl is thorough when moving while hiding her identity as Clarisse.

In the first place, when I move as a saint, I have a strong feeling of killing myself more.

“I am one of the undergraduate students who came to assist St. Clarisse.”

“Oh, it’s the same reason as the master over here. Did you have contact with Saint Clarisse at the bachelor’s degree?”

“I think it’s definitely a special relationship if that saint invites you to sit with them. This guy was not a talented person to ride in the same wagon with the laborers like us.”

The chattering workers were already gulping and sipping a beer.

It was like drinking in broad daylight, but in fact, as long as they unloaded their luggage at the beach, the work of these workers was almost finished.

There is no way these workers would be able to enter the Kedric’s Monastery, which is a strictly forbidden area, so it would be the nuns who carried their luggage to the inside of the monastery.

“It is a great honor for ordinary people like us to be able to carry St. When I say that I am directly assisting, I feel as if I am from a far-off country. I have a great honor as a student who still wears a uniform.”

“The saint will always have a heart of gratitude for the workers who are always working hard.”

“The lady speaks very nicely. He’s a faithful character that looks like something out of a textbook.”

It makes you wonder what kind of expression she will make if she finds out that Kylie, who is smiling brightly, is Saint Clarisse herself, whom she is praising so much right now.

As for me, there were so many ears in the carriage that I couldn’t have a proper conversation with Clarisse.

In the first place, it is not easy to have a long and serious conversation with Clarisse because he always accompanies an escort or carries several followers.

This content is taken from On the other hand, in the sense of having a lot of private conversations, Kylie was riding in the workers’ wagon as Kylie, but this is a difficult position as it is. If you talk candidly on the premise that your opponent is Clarisse, the workers around you will probably find it strange.

In particular, it’s funny that Sung Chang-ryong speaks confidently anyway.

“By the way, I heard that you are going inside the monastery… You have a very valuable experience.”

“Yes. We only know the majestic exterior, we don’t know the interior. Can you see with your own eyes how the interior will be made…”

“Not only that, there are a lot of nuns inside who don’t know anything about the world, so it’s like having everything in the world. Cluckle.”

Aren’t all the guys thinking the same thing?

Saying that, the workers gave me a happy look as if they were envious. I had nothing to say about me, so I had no choice but to reply that I was just going to do my duty.

Perhaps there were some who wanted to see me sitting quietly and not saying anything more than necessary, so the workers began to gossip among themselves.

“Certainly, I don’t think anyone enters Sanctuary out of vain curiosity.”

“Well, do we really need to try to understand? They are all high-ranking people.”

In fact, even if it was me, I did not enter the monastery with a very noble meaning, but it seemed that they were talking among themselves and misunderstood.

“It’s not that big of a reason. I am just… assisting the saint in life.”

“It’s the lady’s business, but where is it that it’s not a big deal? However, I am curious about the reaction of the Abbot Grandmother.”

“Abbey… you mean…?”

“Ah, that’s great! That Grandmother Austin!”

As the name Austin pops up among the workers, Kylie pokes at her for a hint.

smiled

“Do you know the Abbot?”

“I know. When we load our luggage, they always bring a manpower to the shore to pick it up. Inside the monastery, they are called Grandmother King and Grandmother King, but when you see the real thing, the master will know the reason right away. Did I mention that I am 109 years old this year? It’s crazy how long they live. that grandmother.”

“Cluckle, that old lady really doesn’t want to die at all. Last time I stopped by to pay for the ingredients, I was told that I was receiving a lot of cream that was good for my skin… I can’t believe I still have the energy to do that.”

When you think of an abbot, the image that comes to mind is that of a faithful and loving nun.

However, I was also bewildered by the strange reaction of the workers. When he turned to look at Kylie, Kylie was only smiling happily.

“About Abbot Austin… you probably know something.”

“sure. You’ll probably never forget it once you meet it.”

It was impressive to see Kylie smiling so happily that she wondered why she was like this.

*

“Hey, Jules, this gentleman has been married for 15 years and is still acting like a child! We wouldn’t have hurt each other’s feelings if we worked half the night with someone we know!”

“Has Grandma Austin played another match with the merchant in Cohelton?”

“I didn’t know that my handful of oysters would cost thirty silver coins! You put gold on the oysters! Since St. Sister likes oysters, I said that it should be on the dinner menu!”

“Heh heh heh, you only need to show how urgent you are to the trader in that lawless area, Naboo, only to find your weakness. Grandmother Wang has lived so long, doesn’t she know one thing?”

“I don’t know that?! Since it’s Julne, whom I’ve seen since I was running around, I just thought that this kind of situation would be pitiful!”

When I reached the age of 109, I thought of an old man who would come and go today and tomorrow… but unexpectedly, a man with a very large and powerful voice came out.

“Well, I cried and paid for mustard! I’m sorry, I keep my head down, saying that this is the cheapest for sale… I can’t be angry, eh…!”

“Well, Julne is a good deal, so keep it open, Grandma Wang.”

“I’ve been seeing the workers over there for a long time, but after seeing this guy and that guy for more than 30 years, all my faces are confiscated! Just because the monastery building is large, I live under the illusion that the budget will be ample!”

Abbot Austin’s angry voice echoed across the shore.

All the people of the monastery were already out on the shore. He came out early in the morning at low tide and was preparing to meet the saint at the shore. Almost half a day had already been announced, so it was a period that could become boring.

I tidy up my clothes, swish off my robe hat, and step out of the wagon.

Wagons cannot go into the crumbly sandy beaches of the coast. In front of the group of carriages lined up in front of them, there is a magnificently large carriage of a saint. Well, there may not be a saint inside.

“Wow, tea!”

Kylie, who got out of the carriage cheerfully, smiled and spoke to her.

“Then I should go to St. Lee Mann’s carriage. When the sun goes down and the road to the monastery opens, there will be a lot of ‘things to do’.”

“okay. Well… you don’t need to accompany me, do you?”

“If you go together, you will stand out more. Because I am going to change from now on.”

They talk like they’re going to do something great, but they just change the magic equipment they’re wearing.

I nodded my head and waved my arms to greet Kylie, who moved forward in front of the group.

“Ohh! Is that one of the Roth Taylors aristocrats? Jungkook is making a lot of noise these days, but he must be struggling a bit!”

The Roth Taylor family is now in crisis, but at one time it was the most powerful family in the empire and the most famous among the dukes.

No matter how much he stumbles, he is not an opponent to whom a mere nuns can talk comfortably.

Even so, Abbot Austin smiles wildly and unleashes his words.

When Roth Taylor’s name appeared, the expressions of the workers who were riding in a wagon with them changed completely.

He is a man who casually sat in this shabby carriage. I thought he was the heir of a nobility on the outskirts of the country without authority, but he couldn’t have imagined that he was from Roth Taylor.

He looks like he’s chewing the cud to see if he made a mistake while sipping beer.

I went to the abbot, tying the hem of my robe tight, and bowed my head in greeting.

“…”

“This is Ed Roth Taylor. I will be indebted to you for a few days on the matter of the throne of St.

“…No, hey. I too have lived for more than a hundred years, but I have never seen a Confucius bowing his head and giving respect to an old abbot on the outskirts.”

“It wasn’t long after I first entered the lottery, and until then, I lived like a commoner. And to those who have lived for more than a hundred years, we treat them with basic courtesy.”

“It’s completely different from what I thought being human was?! If you only listen to the stories of old friends of the Huangdao, all the people of the Duke of Roth Taylor say that they are all crazy…”

that is disrespectful.

Above all, this old woman shows no sign of despair even when the duke’s restraint is in front of him. The workers around them and the nuns who followed the abbot all took it for granted.

When a person accumulates incredibly long years of experience in a field, he has the power to attract the respect of those around him by itself.

Even there is no sign of authority at all. If she had followed the Telos Church all her life, she would be treated as an elder among the elders who could not be touched by anyone within the denomination.

It is such a spirit that reminds me of old grandmothers who had been doing business in a corner of the market for decades.

Although she is dressed in a neat nunnery, her already completely white hair and tiny wrinkles cannot deceive her years.

Eyes as white and lifeless as hair. It seems that one eye is completely invisible, and the pupil is not responding. My fingers are trembling from time to time because of the lack of strength in the tips of my arms.

Since it is a body that has lived the lives of almost two people alone, it is likely that there will be a lot of trouble here and there. Nevertheless, Austin himself showed the spirit of longevity, putting his arms around his waist, and with his chest wide open, he said, ‘It’s getting cold!’ He was pouring out a useless monologue.

In front of the King Grandmother, even the nobles, the countes, and the nobles do not impose any particular respect.

He seemed to understand what the workers were saying on the way from the wagon. There is no such thing as dignity, culture, or politeness in this grandmother’s fluff words… Nevertheless, there is a mysterious attitude that does not offend the other person’s feelings.

A big grown-up in the Cledric’s Monastery. One of the elders who returned to the Telos Church for over 80 years.

And the lioness who alone controls the young monks who are full of all kinds of talk and thoughts.

If you have been immersed in one field for 80 years, you can master it just by breathing.

She has read and deciphered the Bible more than the Archbishop of the Holy Hwangdao. Occasionally, high-ranking bishops come to her and ask her to help explain the Bible, so in fact, even the high-ranking clergy are the elders of the town who bow their heads.

I handed the gift that Bell had prepared for me in my leather pocket.

“This is a gift that Bell Maia, the maid of the Sylvania Academy Ophelis Hall, asked me to personally deliver.”

“bell?! Did that little boy take the maid position in the Ophelis Hall?! Time goes by so fast that it’s wild! I think it was just yesterday that Alice had dead, empty eyes when I brought her!”

“Is that so?”

“Gosh. That’s her past, I’m not talking about it. Anyway, I didn’t live a very smooth life, but I feel like I’m living my life well and I’m losing my mind with this old man! Yes, he was a good kid. He was a good kid.”

“If it’s Baron Flanchel’s story, I’ve also heard it from myself.”

At those words, Abbot Austin was silent for a moment, seemingly speechless.

With both arms placed on my waist, the appearance of standing like a general was colorless.

“The nobleman Na-ree-ri seems to have already become a man, yes! To the extent that the little maid, who used to only measure inside people, confided in her own past, which she regarded as a traitor. It’s hard to get recognition unless you’re a fairly complete person.”

“…I do not know. Bell didn’t seem to be that harsh on others.”

“You can’t judge just by looking at the surface! If I said this, the little boy would hate him, but he had a rodent-like temperament that was more wary of people than anyone else! Seemingly kind to everyone is possible because you don’t treat everyone fairly.”

It was another unexpected story.

Because Bell Maia was known as the best person in the Office of Ophelis, who was kind to everyone, approached with sincerity, and handled things with certainty.

“Well, it looks like Amon has cast off that temperament back in the day. After all, the young ones, when the old man’s gaze is somewhere else for a while, he grows up… and appears as a completely different person.”

Abbot Austin laughed out loud a few times, and then quickly gave instructions to the nuns who had followed him to take over and put things in order.

The chariot of the saint is in front of me. Everyone was exuding a solemn atmosphere, knowingly and unknowingly, but only this abbot was concentrating on getting things done, throwing away any nervousness.

In the first place, even this large-scale prayer meeting attended by saints and distinguished guests is nothing more than a simple annual event for her.

He is said to have served a total of four saints throughout his long life. There is absolutely no talented person who can be hesitant about preparing for such an event.

“Anyway, it was a pain in the ass. The noble Naeul-ri is not without her family, but she looks more docile than I thought, and even her character seems to have been perfected… So this visit to the Order is not going to be easy.”

“…Yes?”

“Even if I’m just 90 years younger, I try to rub it off, because it’s not common these days to be a good guy! Kah ha ha!”

After saying that, he smiled wildly again, but the smile didn’t come out, so I just kept looking at him.

“…I thought it was kind of witty humor… I’ve never seen this kind of humor with young people.”

“Honestly, I am embarrassed.”

“Well, anyway, once you’ve aged this needlessly, it’s deep enough to be a quick glance at a person’s depth. Even if you pretend to be a noble man, you have all the conditions that many young women want to be husbands.

Saying so, Abbot Austin glanced around with a squint. You speak with your eyes. Let me take a look around.

I glanced around, too, and saw the nuns following Abbot Austin, one by one, looking at this side with a tense look.

About twenty or so nuns, each doing their own thing to take over the burdens, glanced at me. The tension between each other is evident.

A clumsy red-haired nun, who was stuck behind the carriage and just sticking out her head, swung her face in, and a nun, who looked sincere with her black hair neatly braided, was pricking her ears as if embarrassed.

“Rumors have already circulated once within the monastery. A gentle and dignified aristocratic man who even the saint acknowledged will come to the monastery for a few days and live there. what did you say In addition to his archaic appearance that even the sky is jealous of, the gentlemanly personality that listens to every single chirping of birds, and his magical skills that are not suitable for his age, his academic status is so high… All the young girls of noble families They say he is like a prince who throws flirts.”

“…”

“Are you really afraid that rumors will be blown up? The fairy tale delusions of teenage girls are so many times that even I, who is watching right next to me, loses my mind. What do you think, girls in that age group, it’s best to act like that age group. Well, from the standpoint of the high-ranking nobleman Nae-ri, who is the expected party, it would be like death.”

I pressed on my temples and gave a sign of pain in my head. Abbot Austin then burst out with an exhilarating laugh, as if it was very funny.

“Khahahak! Even so, if you were born with a stick in your groin, you should be able to enjoy situations like this! Where would you go to experience the center of rumors, receiving the attention of many women at once? Put some strength on your shoulders and try to show off a bit like I’m a person like this! but…”

Surprisingly, the mind is open. He was the opposite of the image of the hostess of a monastery where isolation from the world and asceticism were thoroughly emphasized.

“…at night, make sure to lock the door.”

“…do they even invade…?”

“In my personal opinion, the girls of this age are more out of control than the crude mercenaries of Cohelton’s Lawless Zone. Even an aging body has to be abused in moderation, but if you forget it, something happens once in a while. Having an affair with a man from the outside has become an annual event, so it’s a policy that almost no workers attend. How much less is he a nobleman? It’s obvious if you don’t see it.”

Abbot Austin put his arms around his chest, cleared his throat with a groan, and continued.

“Well, it’s up to the noble Na-Ri to enjoy this kind of situation, but I want you to judge it carefully. I don’t want to explain it in detail, but among the nuns who are in charge of the Cedric’s Monastery, there are many friends whose backstory is confusing. There are illegitimate children of noble families whose names cannot be spoken, and there are also some children born of cursed blood. Anyway… there are a lot of writers who think that if you borrow the power of God, everything will be solved. Just because I put him in the Namolara Monastery doesn’t mean that the boy will disappear.”

“…”

“There are many children who are born without a blessing. It’s me, I’m in a position to take responsibility for them until I die, but the future is bright for a noble man. This old man fully understands the immoral pleasures of forbidden love, but he also needs the wisdom to see life from afar. Well, it sounds obvious.”

Then he let out a deep sigh without releasing his arms.

It wasn’t a very good story, but it was a story that had to be told. He didn’t seem very happy, either.

“Haha… Anyway, the young nobleman Na-Ri understands. When I’m old enough, even though I’m thinking of doing it in moderation, the story ends with a blatant brat. In the end, all I have to do is look at life far away. It’s because I’m old enough to be proud of only one thing I’ve lived for a long time.”

“no. There are a lot of things you’ve seen and heard, so there must have been a lot of things you were worried about.”

“…Anyway, I feel relieved because Na-eul, a nobleman, seems to be more mentally complete than other nobles. I am proud in many ways because the saint seems to have one eye for seeing people. okay. Then I think I can lean on that recognition and ask you one more favor.”

“Are you saying please?”

Abbot Austin’s ferocious temperament is probably a sign of his struggles to survive in his old body for many years.

Nevertheless, there are times when Abbot Austin’s sincerity towards the convent’s nuns is overwhelming.

For some reason, Abbot Austin lowers his voice a ton. Do you want to talk without being heard?

“Even if they are nuns who are not welcome anywhere in the world and enter this monastery and lead a celibate life apart from the world… they are people.”

“…”

“Following the will of God is a noble and important thing, but I think that having a dream when you are young is like proof that you are alive. So I don’t want to break the nuns’ illusions, even if it’s like a spring that will eventually pass. In a nutshell, it’s a voice asking you to stay as a prince if possible.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Indeed, I can’t guarantee it even if I go there.

When it comes to me, I am just one of those people struggling to survive.

“During dawn prayer, have you ever seen a nun looking up at the stars at night and imagining it with joy? There will be none.”

“…”

“I live as a servant of the gods, but when I still feel that I am a single person, I realize that I am in charge of taking care of these children. I don’t want to disturb the human side of children by discussing their faith.”

Then, he puts his arms around his waist again and smiles.

“They are the daughters of my heart.”

Then he added a joke that he was shy.

“At this age, I did a little bit of strength. I have about 270 daughters.”

I can feel the past of Abbot Austin, who truly raised the nuns like my own daughters… I decided to give it a try.

“I will try.”

The way he raises the corners of his lips at those words is more arrogant than anyone else in the world.

She is an old woman who has returned to the Telos Church for 80 years and has been in charge of the monastery for nearly 50 years. You can see why she is called Grandmother King.

who deserves respect Since everyone seems to know why he’s saying that, I moderately counteracted Austin’s words.

“By the way, can I tell you a story that will make you even more satisfied?”

You have to wait until the sun goes down on the beach anyway.

Perhaps there was no one to chat with, the abbot spoke quietly as if he knew everything.

“This is a secret, but I support the benevolent Princess Fenia.”

Princess Persica visits. It seemed that he had already noticed to some extent that my purpose was also to have a conversation with her.

No matter how locked up in the monastery, he will not be completely ignorant of the news of the emperor.

Abbot Austin smiled softly, a clear reminder that we were allies.

*

– Bang!

The box lid flew in the sky.

The wizard girl with her head poked out of the wagon was brushing her hair. Inside the box were several leather pockets that the girl had been carrying.

Inside was a simple wand or magic supplies, and there were also lots of jerky.

Should I call it an aberration, for that kind of thing, I only slept for a nap, so it’s the same as usual.

Rather, the wagon’s wagon’s wagon’s swaying subtly is more drowsy than expected and a good place to take a nap.

“…”

Lucy Meryl stretched her neck out of the dimly lit luggage compartment with a blank, languid face.

There were clear drool marks on his lips.
