No matter what outsiders think, the Aaron family has always believed that this is because they are devout believers of the Lord and they have a mission.Their ancestors, the first Earl of Aaron must have heard the promise of the Lord, and the Lord was with them.

They think that since they have obtained the approval of the Lord and obtained a lot of wealth, they must also find the lost holy objects and fulfill the promise of the Lord.

This kind of thinking brainwashed everyone in the Aaron family, every Earl of Aaron thought so, and relentlessly searched for the holy relic.

But the time is too long, with the strength of the Aaron family and the persistence of every Earl of Aaron, the holy object has not yet been found.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyuan's eyes darkened, and she felt that this mission was hopeless.

However, the Aaron family's tireless search has achieved some results. According to the records of the Aaron family, a believer took away the holy object during the war and hid it in a certain place in Aaron County with secret methods.

The most likely site is a cathedral or a monastery. The cathedral in County Aaron is not particularly large, but it has a long history.It was damaged and rebuilt several times during the war. The new building was superimposed on the old building, and the monastery behind the cathedral has gone through nearly a thousand years of ups and downs.

The reason why it is said that cathedrals or monasteries are the most likely is that people have a kind of psychology. When they want to hide and protect something, they will subconsciously choose a place they think is safe, not to mention that the most dangerous place is the safest place. However, the believers who hid the holy relics probably didn't really hope that the holy relics would be lost, and they should also consider the problem of searching for later generations.

So on the whole, the holy relic is most likely to be in a cathedral or monastery.

Ye Liuyuan closed the book, pinching her brows in annoyance.

Well, at least the holy relic was not damaged by the war, and it was determined that it was still within the range of Aaron County.

Thinking about it this way is also true, since the system has given a task, then the sacred object cannot be destroyed, it must still be there.Giving him the status of earl of Aaron and coadjutor also implies that the relics must be around him.

After reading through the information briefly, after a brief lunch, the time came in the afternoon, butler Will knocked on the door and invited Ye Liuyuan to have afternoon tea.

"I see, Will."

"Tomorrow I want to go to the monastery to thank Bishop Foster, and may stay in the monastery for a while to practice."

Butler Will nodded and said, "I will prepare everything for you."

No clues were found in Aaron Castle, so Ye Liuyuan planned to go to churches and monasteries to find relevant clues.

The church is different from the monastery. The function of the general church is to hold various ceremonies and masses, and to receive visits from believers. It is a secular place where people come and go; while the monastery is a place for monks, nuns and priests to practice, which is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

But Ye Liuyuan is not an ordinary person, he is a nobleman and an assistant bishop, so Ye Liuyuan has the privilege of entering and leaving the monastery at any time.

The monastery has been destroyed several times and rebuilt several times. The most recent reconstruction was funded by the Aaron family more than 200 years ago.Strolling in the corridor, the sense of vicissitudes of history blows your face.

Regarding the arrival of Ye Liuyuan, Bishop Foster twirled the power ring on his finger and said: "Of course I respect your decision to come to the monastery to clean up, but the conditions are not as good as those of the 'Earthly God Kingdom' Valun Ting, I'm afraid you won't get used to it."

"You don't have to worry." Ye Liuyuan said: "My belief in the Lord is unshakable. Under the light of the Lord, everything in the world is the same in my eyes."

Even so, when Ye Liuyuan entered the monastery to study, he could not only come by himself, but also bring servants, and bring his own food, clothes, and so on.For him, the so-called practice is actually to live in a cleaner and more solemn place.

Foster lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and said with an old look of indifference: "The dean of the monastery is Felton, and he will arrange everything for you."

Ye Liuyuan looked at Foster, not quite sure whether he mentioned it casually or was hinting at him.

After thanking Foster and leaving his place, Ye Liuyuan followed the monks in black monk robes through the corridor to the residence he had been assigned.

The bedding, furnishings and displays of the room were replaced by Will's housekeeper and servants during the time when Foster was placed in the Yeliu Garden.

The thin and hard mattress in the bedroom was replaced with soft cushions, the pillows were covered with silk from the East, and the quilt was filled with soft duck down. The white blanket was pressed against the quilt, making it even warmer.

In addition, the desk, tea set, clothes in the closet, etc. were all arranged by the housekeeper according to Ye Liuyuan's habits at home.

There are not too many colors and complicated patterns, which can be regarded as "noble simplicity".

Butler Will said: "Master, please tell me how to arrange today's lunch?"

"You can figure it out." Ye Liuyuan had some difficulty in making choices, and he especially hated thinking about what to eat for each meal.In addition, even with the memory of the original owner, Ye Liuyuan was afraid that she would touch some taboos when ordering food and reveal her flaws, so she simply let the housekeeper make arrangements.

After lunch, Ye Liuyuan studied with other monks.

In the evening, Ye Liuyuan met Dean Felton in the corridor. Felton did not wear the monk's black robe, but a white base and a purple robe.

"I didn't expect your Excellency to come to the monastery to clean up. A distinguished lord like you should appear in front of the church and the believers to guide those lost lambs." Felton stopped and said.

"Before the Lord, we are all lost lambs." Ye Liuyuan was not afraid at all, but she replied with a sense of distance and sharpness: "Isn't Dean Felton?"

Felton stared fixedly at Yeliuyuan, slowly pulled out a smile, stroked his chest with one hand, and said, "Of course I am too. May the Lord always be by your side."

Ye Liuyuan also touched her chest with one hand, brushing past Felton.

Felton looked ahead and slowly lowered his chest-stroking hand.

The monks in the monastery did not express anything about the sudden arrival of Yeliuyuan. Anyway, for them, the arrival of Yeliuyuan would not affect them in any way, so naturally they did not express anything.

In the Yeliu Garden of the monastery, there are very few clues about the sacred objects. The monastery has a long history, and it does contain many religious books that Aaron's family did not have.But Aaron's family specializes in finding holy objects after all, so in terms of things related to holy objects, they really don't have as many clues as Aaron's books.

Ye Liuyuan walked around the monastery a few times during the days when she was in the monastery, but she didn't find anything special, similar to hidden compartments, dark rooms and other places where things are hidden.

"Mr. System, can I really find the holy object? So far, I haven't found any clues." Ye Liuyuan was a little discouraged.

The system said, "Mr. Ye, the time has not come yet."

The time has not come?

Ye Liuyuan savored these four words, gradually calmed down, stopped being anxious, and quietly waited for the opportunity to come.

One morning, Ye Liuyuan saw the monks in the monastery getting busy, preparing a lot of food and clothes.

"What are you doing?" Ye Liuyuan asked a monk.

"The monastery has been helping orphans for a long time. Every once in a while, we will prepare food and clothes for them." The monk had a good attitude towards Ye Liuyuan and answered some of Ye Liuyuan's questions.

It turned out that there was an orphanage attached to the monastery, and the orphans adopted there were all taken care of by nuns.The orphanage was originally a nunnery, but since it began to adopt orphans, it has become an orphanage over time.

The monastery and the orphanage are usually isolated, and the only gate that connects them is guarded. During the time when Ye Liuyuan was there, I once saw Felton leave the monastery through a gate at night.

That direction does not lead to the church, but it seems to lead to the orphanage.

But it was midnight, why did Felton go to the monastery so late?

Something flickered in Ye Liuyuan's eyes, and said to Will: "The weather is getting colder and colder recently, and winter is coming, we also prepare some food and clothes and follow them to visit those orphans."

Will bent over to obey, and soon had what Leaf Willow Garden needed.

Ye Liuyuan went to the orphanage with the monks, and the monks gave the food and clothes they brought to the nuns.The nuns are going to cook and change the clothes they brought to suit the children.

Compared with the monks, the nuns do more for the children. They are not only responsible for the daily care of the orphans, but also teach them literacy as much as possible, and also serve as mothers and teachers.

Ye Liuyuan took advantage of this opportunity to look around. The orphanage used to be a nunnery, which has a long history like the monastery next door, so it looks a bit old.Most of the children staying here are five, six, seven or eight-year-old children, and those who are older, like eleven or twelve, are no longer children in this era.

The children of the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th and [-]th have to go outside to earn a living. Although the orphanage will reserve a room for them to shelter them from the wind and rain, there will be no beds for them.Those who are capable or sold themselves into slavery will not return to the orphanage. Those who really can't find a place to live can only sleep on the ground with their clothes covered.

After all, the capacity of the orphanage is limited, and the nuns put most of their energy on the younger children.In Ye Liuyuan's eyes, these people can still be called children, but the orphanage can no longer afford them.

Many children in the orphanage were dressed in shabby cloth clothes, most of them were very quiet, without the liveliness and laughter that they should have at this age, this eerie quietness gave Ye Liuyuan a weird feeling.

The dean of the orphanage is an elderly nun with pursed lips and a rather serious look.

The servants behind Ye Liuyuan handed over the supplies to the nuns. The dean walked up to Ye Liuyuan, touched her chest and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Your Excellency the Bishop."

"No, I just did what I could."

"We still have to prepare lunch for the children, please help yourself." The nun nodded and turned to get busy.

Ye Liuyuan walked through the orphanage with Will and several servants, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy staggering forward, and fell to the ground before taking two steps.

Ye Liuyuan stepped forward and reached out to help him, but was pushed away by the young man.

"roll!"
