"Karov once investigated the monastery, and I also checked it, but I didn't get much. In addition to confirming that there were fourteen people on the list, I got very limited information." Dolan drank the remaining wine and put the cup on the table. "Generally speaking, people who live in that kind of place will be very united and are very alert to outsiders. I was worried that if I continue to investigate, I would startle the temple, so I terminated the investigation, but during this period I made an unexpected discovery."

"Oh? What did you find?"

"There was a second-level priest who carried the token of the pope on his body. He went to the monastery the day after Madam Bernese passed away, and left without long. Coincidentally, he had appeared before when the new dean was in office. The two of them had a secret conversation for an afternoon, so when he left the monastery, I sent someone to follow him." Doran said.

This is the second time Lolo has heard someone mention such a person. It was in Ogrid before. Madam Teresa also mentioned that a pastor holding a token of the pope had come to the monastery to find her after Arulia left and before the wedding. If nothing unexpected happens, what Dolan found out should be the same person as Madam Teresa said.

Lolo's eyes lit up, and the priest's figure has been looming throughout the incident, and is obviously a very important character.

"It's a pity that guy is very cunning. He disappeared after he realized he was being followed. However, I found his residence in Ristanton, which was a rented room, which was not large. It was on the second floor of a bookstore. It was very clean. He should have gone back before my people rushed there. He packed all the important things away, and threw them into the fireplace to destroy them. However, he left in a hurry, so he still left something."

"What?"

"Manuscript paper."

"Manuscript paper?"

"Yes." Dolan opened the drawer again, "Blank manuscript paper, he wrote a letter on the desk. When we write, the power of the pen tip will sometimes be passed on to the next page of paper, leaving some traces on it. I used a charcoal pen to paint the handwriting on it and copied it down, you can take a look at it yourself."

Dolan took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Lolo. The girl opened it, but she saw it.

——On October 976, 976, Katrina's plan was progressing smoothly. The 28th candidate was in the north, waiting (the middle word was incomplete) to give more details. The shepherd dog was suspicious and asked for instructions on whether to change it. In addition, it was suspected that it was targeted by unknown forces and would change its identity in the near future.

"Catrina is the first name on the list," Dolan added. "Although it's the longest time now, because it's the first time, the temple is not very skilled, so it leaves the most information. I found the girl's hometown, in a small village in the west of Liberty City, and a fire broke out in the village that year when she was born. More than 20 people died in total, including his parents. Interestingly, these more than 20 people are basically relatives and friends who have good relationships with her parents."

"Are the orphans in the Sith Monastery all caused by man?" Lolo couldn't help but feel cold when he thought of a terrifying fact.

"To be more precise, the girls on the list, the children outside the list are indeed orphans, and the people on the list are from different places, the Free City-State, the Lion Heart Empire, the Holy Alliance. I even found a human girl born in the Dwarf Kingdom. They lost their parents and family for various reasons, and were then taken to the Sith Monastery. The youngest was just a month old and the largest was fifteen years old. The temple seemed to have some means to find the person they wanted. Unfortunately, the handwriting on the manuscript paper was very light and could not be identified."

"How could this happen? What about the deans of the Sith Monastery? Do they know the origins of these children?"

"Madam Bernese obviously knew the most. After she retired, Madam Teresa took over her job, but the time was short. Before she could learn too much about Erlia, something happened. Then she rushed to the territory of the Breton family. During this period, everyone's eyes were basically focused on the north. An old lady was in charge of the Sith Monastery. The new dean took office in half a year. But I suspect that, including Madam Bernese, these people in the monastery would probably be limited even if they knew something."

Doran paused, "Sheepdogs don't need to know whether the owner raises sheep for the purpose of eating mutton or shearing wool. They just need to help the owner protect the flock faithfully."

"So what happened to my mother back then was related to this Katerina project? If she hadn't met my father, would she have disappeared from this world quietly?"

"This plan is absolutely confidential even in the temple. I have caught some ordinary clergy and questioned them over the years, but they have never heard of such things." Dolan said, "But don't worry, I will continue to investigate the matter of Erlia. During this period, you can live in this manor. I run it very safely, and the people in the temple will not find you."

"Thank you for doing these things for my mother and me, but I can't wait here. Seeing the irrelevant people go through life and death for my affairs, I will look for the whereabouts of the second-level priest, and go back to the Sith Monastery to see if you can find out anything else. I wonder if you have any other clues to tell me." Lolo carefully put away the list and envelope, but had no intention of leaving it.

"This choice is not wise. You touched the trap of Gotaris. The temple will soon realize that you have returned to the north. They will surely start searching for you later. In this land, you have no one to trust except me."

"No, there is another person, I know that I can trust him unconditionally at any time." The girl said firmly.

"Women, they will always make the same mistake, don't they?" Dolan murmured.

Lolo frowned, "What do you mean?"
