Chapter 1542: Morning Prayer
Ronald followed the good example and continued to follow Sister Aphra.
For the clergy of the church, morning prayer is a quite formal religious activity, which is completely different from the nature of morning classes where knowledge is discussed.
Such a serious activity.
It must, or rather can only be done in church.
After Ronald and Aphra left the courtyard, the road to the monastery led almost straight to the center, and they walked towards the small church in the center of the area.
——The Hermitage is a city after all.
Limited by the number of monks living here.
It is unrealistic in terms of space to allow all the monks to complete their morning classes here at once.
According to the age of the monks here.
Those who come to the chapel for morning prayers are roughly divided into three batches.
The first ones to come were the young monks who had reached adulthood and were not aging.
They are the first to get up in the day and are also responsible for the most daily work in the monastery. Naturally, they are the first to pray.
The second group that followed were young children who had lived and studied in the monastery since childhood.
These children will only be tasked with simple daily tasks.
So after the young monks prepared everything needed for morning prayers, they started the second batch.
The last group were the old people in the monastery.
They arrive last and review the work of the young monks on the church during morning prayers.
during this period.
A small number of monks who failed to catch up with the first two batches will also follow the old people.
This kind of lateness is already quite bizarre in the church outside the monastery.
But in the soothing and subdued atmosphere of the monastery.
But no one pursues this kind of behavior.
There are even people who are late many times, or simply skip the necessary rituals of the day.
Most of what they receive is not punishment.
Instead, he was directly removed from the monastery, returned to the outside world, and became a normal monk.
When Ronald follows Aphra to the chapel.
The chapel was exactly the same as before he entered the temple for trial.
The ancient and simple appearance has remained intact throughout history, as if it will not be eroded by anything.
Ronald and the little nun entered the church.
It was not their turn to prepare and maintain the church today. After entering, they sat on the benches in the chapel in the order they entered.
The next step is to wait quietly for the morning prayer to officially begin.
During this period.
Ronald naturally did not forget to observe his surroundings.
There is still about half an hour before the official start of the prayer, but almost two-thirds of the chairs in the chapel are full.
Without any supervision or enforcement measures, this is already a very good efficiency.
The scene in the chapel is full of views.
At this time, Ronald happened to notice something interesting.
Young monks awaiting morning prayers certainly do not whisper to one another at this juncture.
But the shift workers who were cleaning the church were not among them.
Ronald happened to be sitting at the side of the chapel.
So he was very lucky to hear the discussion between two young monks who were cleaning the ground.
"It's rare. The cleaning work of the church has been increased from three times to five times today."
"It is indeed rare, but after all, the holy priest and the clerical priest arrived at the same time. Even those of us who choose to be monastic should be prepared to receive them. You should have an attitude."
"I'm not complaining... By the way, did you hear about that thing in the morning?" "
That thing in the morning?"
"Oh, I see, you mean those people who came from the church in the morning Guys who came out?"
"Yes, don't you find it strange? This place will be closed at night, why do you think they came out of the church so early in the morning?" "
This has nothing to do with us!"
" But as usual... I'm afraid I suddenly thought of something, so I was thinking so hard in the church that I forgot to leave when it closed." "But
I heard that there was no one here when it closed last night. "
Why are you thinking so much? Maybe a few adults have experimented with some powerful magic."
"Think more and talk less! Remember!"
"..."
The discussion between the two young monks was just that. Chatting while cleaning.
But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.
For Ronald, who sat aside and listened to this conversation completely.
This conversation is undoubtedly quite important information!
He immediately thought of the five guys from the [Nine Rings Secret Society].
The same people who entered the temple trial, when Ronald was in the outside world and the reconnaissance spell was still functioning.
The five people he sensed were in this small church.
Combined with the content of the two monks' chat, he could conclude almost immediately!
Those people who appeared inexplicably in the church must be the casters of the "Nine Rings Secret Society".
And unlike Ronald.
Probably because he doesn't have an official status in the Holy City.
After falling into the temple trial, they did not have identity verification like Ronald.
In this way...
it will be easy to deal with these enemies.
As long as the higher-ups of the church are notified that there is an invasion, then these five spellcasters who are unable to cast spells will be in front of the Holy City where the church is still at its peak.
What will happen?
"..."
Thinking of this, Ronald wanted to laugh.
The simplest way to deal with these people is already there, the next step is how to execute it.
Reporting directly is quick and easy.
But Ronald had no intention of doing so.
Sitting silently on the bench in the chapel, he lowered his head slightly and hid his thinking eyes in the shadows.
Reporting directly would have been too risky - for Ronald himself.
After all, he can't use spells at the moment.
If he acted like this, if the people in the church were more cautious, Ronald himself might be exposed.
Senior people are not as easy to fool as the little nun Aphra next to them.
Once there is suspicion, a few simple spells can reveal his identity as a nun with incomplete information.
"..."
"It is too dangerous to report directly, so we need to use a more tactful way to remind them, and the content should be so urgent that people in the church have no time to pay attention to it." Lorna was thinking about how to trick those [Nine Rings Secret
Society] to perform spells the person’s plan.
During this time.
Three elders wearing gray cloth robes walked out of the side door next to the chapel and came to the front of the bishop's seat.
"Close your eyes - take a deep breath - meditate -"
A man standing in the middle spoke to lead the activities of the people in the chapel. As he spoke, solemn and sacred music also sounded in the ear room on the side of the chapel.
"Bow your head and shake hands -"
Under the atmosphere of religious music, the elder in the middle said again:
"Dear fellow believers,
at this moment when our footsteps are rushing through this world, let us gather in this sacred place, Join us in today's prayer.
We give thanks for life and health.
In this time of prayer, we respectfully ask for guidance and mercy.
Almighty Father -
protect us from the temptations and curses of evil so that we can be with You. Walk together and treat others with integrity and kindness.
Please grant them health, happiness and peace, and let them spend every day under your protection. Please
guide our children and make them moral, loving and charitable People..."
