Vol 7 Chapter 45: Sister Alft

Normezi was struggling to build his garden of Eden for Philip when Alexander was struggling in a swamp called Guadiaze.
Compared to Valladolid in the north and France farther away, the south of Iberia is actually very warm, even in winter, there is little snow season. Not only at this time, but also in the past, it is also known for its warmth. .
Therefore, although the Guadiaze Marsh is in winter, it is not as frozen and strong as those in the Italian peninsula, but once it is stepped on, it is a wet mud, so if there is no pair of strict high cylinders here Boots are almost impossible.
When he learned that the virgin convent was deep in this swamp, Alexander ’s first reaction was that it was not a nun but a prison.
After seeing the nun's house with his own eyes, he became more determined.
There is only one road from outside the marshland to the Nunnery, and this road appears and disappears regularly with the tide overflowing into the marshland in the distance from the high tide of the Darville River.
Every once in a while someone will take advantage of the retreat road to send various items needed by the monastery, those things are enough to support the nuns in the monastery when the tide recedes next time, when the road is revealed.
But even so, if there is no one who is familiar with the road as a guide, it is not safe to walk on this road when the tide is low. As the high tide road is submerged, no one can walk from it unless it is rowing a boat Close to the monastery.
Of course, no one can escape from the monastery.
Alexander's luck was not bad. When he was led by the guide sent by the Duke of Don Bavi to Guadiaze Zhang Zedi, it was just in time for the retreat.
So he got on a very unique local amphibious transporter, half-horse carriage and half-tug boat, and rushed to the virgin convent with a large number of goods to be sent to the convent.
The dense fog that seemed to never be able to disperse was swamped in the swamp, and crows crowed from time to time in the blurred trees in the distant fog.
The large strings of bells hanging on the carriage made a "dinger bell" sound. It is said that this is because some people in the team will be lost in the thick fog, and even if it has already retreated, those times may show up, sometimes hidden in the muddy muddy. The next one must also be careful, otherwise you may fall into a deep swamp because you are lost.
Apart from this road, there is no other way to enter the virgin convent from the swamp, and this convent, which is located on a high ground among the swamps, looks like a giant hidden in dense fog from a distance , Always hidden in the depths of the swamp where there is always a gray mist all year round.
The wall made of large pieces of dark stone seems to make the whole nun appear somber and gloomy. It is said that the nuns sent to this monastery are only sent out after their bodies. , And some are buried in the tomb of the monastery even if they die, and they can never see the outside world again.
What surprised Alexander was that the gate of this convent could not be opened. A large door lock directly blocked the road between the inside and the outside. Looking at it, it was completely rusty. It was not nonsense that Alexander felt that the gate of the monastery that the guide said had never been opened since the day it was closed.
Everything was transported through several winch pulleys inlaid on the wall, and after saying that he was the pope messenger, Alexander could only watch a basket of food and various items being pulled up the high wall by the winch , And he stood and waited patiently on an open space.
Alexander didn't know why Duke Don Bavi had to spare no effort in trying to get the Vatican to recognize the holy site displayed by a nun, but the duke did surprise Alexander.
He did not expect Duke Don Bavi to know Isabella not only better than other nobles of this era, but even more so than in some places.
If Alexandria knew the purpose and means of the Queen of Castile simply because she knew the history of Isabella in the past, then Don Bavi was purely through these years with Isabella The experience of dealing with her has seen through her various plots.
So when Don Bavi said that Isabella was a common enemy, Alexander began to be surprised, but then he listened to Don Bavi ’s analysis, he had to admit that the duke was really great, and very Visionary characters.
Just as Tang Bawei said, even if he sees through, there is no way to deal with it.
Isabella used the immense popularity gained after expelling the Moors, and the hatred of the pagans from bottom to top over the years, easily instigated a fanatical religious wave, faced with this by the church to eradicate heresy No one can oppose the terrible wave of weapons for public opinion, and no one dares to oppose it.
Don Bavi may be able to see through Isabella ’s true purpose, but he has no way to stop and contend. On the contrary, he has to face the challenges of using the church to infiltrate his territory and his powers carefully and avoid them. To prevent falling into the traps that have been laid long ago.
Then until he felt he could use a nun in this nun to change all this?
Alexander was puzzled, when Don Bavi told him accurately that Isabella would not only use the church court to eradicate dissidents, but also take the opportunity to put the church power under the kingship, and then make the church in Iberia completely When their husband and wife used the tools to rule the kingdom, Alexander also had to admire the duke's vision.
In fact, the couple did. Although they did not eventually become like their English son-in-law, they simply established a new state religion and became the leader of the church, but there is no doubt that at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century In the split era, like the Protestant clique formed by the British and the German aristocracy in the near future, the Iberian Peninsula, which defends the name of faith, also has a split-like situation.
Perhaps it was because of this that Duke Don Bavi revealed himself to himself, after all, in the view of Don Bavi, both he and the Vatican, whether as the Duke of Roman Tesia or as the cheap son-in-law of Alexander VI It is undoubtedly standing together.
"Is there anything special about that nun?" Alexander thought to himself, of course he did not believe in any prophetic revelation, so what exactly made Don Bavi so fancy her?
An empty basket came down from the wall, with a stack of paper pressed against a stone.
While expressing its apology, the convent resolutely rejected Alexander ’s request to enter the convent. They only asked the emissary from Rome to write on his paper the questions he asked of Sister Alfred , And then Mother Alft would reply.
Alexander first thought it was ridiculous, but then only reluctantly accepted the suggestion.
He began to write questions one by one on those papers, many of which were classically questioned in the historical records of the history dedicated to testing the authenticity of miracles, and some were logical contradictions used by Alexander to determine whether these so-called miracles made sense. And pitfalls.
"Do you recognize the Trinity as the only sacred thing not divisible"
"Do you admit that you are sanctified by birth or sanctified by sanctification."
"God is the only one, and is the creator of all the world, then whether the antichrist is created by God" ...
A series of questions followed the swaying basket into it. After waiting for a long time, the basket came down again with the creaking winch sound.
Sher sat on a stone and watched the old man turn over the "exam questions" with interest. He took out a piece of dry meat patty from the grain bag he carried with him and tore a piece of it into his mouth. Then he drank black. The rum swallowed.
Compared with most Balkans, Sher is much smarter. He is not only smart but also able to write and calculate, which makes him once a famous person in his hometown, that is, the landlords and masters sometimes ask him Writing various letters for them makes Schell's family always proud of having knowledge in their family.
But even so, when seeing the problems of Alexander, Schell felt like looking at the number of days, and some of the problems made him look confused and felt paradoxical.
Now looking at the old man seriously looking at the questions and answers filled with answers, Xieer couldn't help but feel that the nun on the other side of the wall was really powerful.
Alexander looks at the answers seriously, but he is not interested in these things at all, even when he sees the other party actually using coincident methods on the problems that are hidden by his various logic traps, he either deliberately avoids them or simply uses stealing. He cleverly deceived the past in a conceptual way. He just passed by, and did not want to confirm the nun ’s miracle qualification through these questions.
What he cares about is the identity of Sister Alft.
But the big lock on the gate of the women's convent seemed to tell him clearly that this was impossible.
How much did this arouse Alexander's interest, he knew the real purpose of the establishment of this virgin convent, and although it has been so many years since its establishment, this should have been with the death of the mixed blood of those early years The abandoned female convent seems to have been "prosperous".
If the large number of mixed-race children who had just recovered the lost ground made the Castilians angry, then they would think of those mixed-race girls sent to this living tomb to be imprisoned forever, then after nearly a century, they were imprisoned Who are you?
Alexander thought about looking up at the wall of the monastery, but he saw a few panic-stricken shadows.
"Master, they are nuns."
Sher, who was not far away, had to lower his voice to remind him, although he did n’t want to admit it, whenever he thought of his old man ’s hobby and not long ago, he still remembered that he wanted to call the Yuqian officer to his side, and she thought it was still It ’s time to remind Lord Duke as well.
Alexander glanced at Sher a little helplessly. He thought for a moment and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, then shake the rope vigorously to make the gondola rise.
This time it took a long time. Alexander had to sit on the stone with Schell and wait patiently until the door with the rusty lock "boom" opened a window of the size of a face. .
"God bless you." A slightly old woman's voice came from the dim window.
"Being with the Lord." Alexander walked not far to the window, but then was stopped by the people inside.
"Sir, you should be standing there."
"Where is Sister Alft?" Alexander asked in a low voice.
"Adult, although you are the emissary of the Vatican, Sister Alfred can't talk to you directly because he is receiving revelation from God," the woman inside said, "You know that nuns are Christ who must remain pure in order to serve Christ."
"But this involves the authenticity of the sacred site, and as Duke Don Bavi said, the nun Alft demonstrated a miracle that can be inspired from God, and he requested that this miracle must be reported to the Vatican. It must be checked by the Pope's messenger. "
There was another silence. The old nun inside seemed to be pondering what Alexander said. After a while, she said, "You can talk to Sister Alfred, but you can't get closer."
"Okay." Alexander nodded his promise.
After a while, a seemingly strange tone came from the dark part of the window. It sounded like it seemed difficult to not speak for a long time, but Alexander could still hear the voice of a young woman.
And somehow, Alexander thought the sound seemed to have been heard, but he knew it was unlikely.
"May the Lord bless you."
"Nun, do you think you are pious?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, I am pious."
"Do you also think you have received revelation from God?"
"This is a gift."
"But you are not here, do we all know where this is, you are atonement here, because your existence is sin, then tell me how can you get such a gift from God that ordinary people cannot get? ? "
Alexander ’s voice was not high, and he was quite slow, but his words were suffocating. Even Scher, who was standing behind, could n’t help but rushed to the accident by such a merciless question for the Duke and Master. Also, since any vision can only be confirmed by a sacred method, then nuns, you tell me, how do you know that you received the revelation of God, not the temptation of Satan, to realize that even Christ has been Alluring, then tell me why Duke Don Bavi would be so sure that what you told him was the sacred side? "
"Because the Duke knows that I am pious, my blood makes me noble, and I am inspired by God because I have this qualification." The nun at the window was stumbling because of emotional excitement. "Although you are from the Vatican, I cannot allow you to insult My lineage. "
The hurried voice was right next to the window, perhaps because of too much excitement, a few fingers accidentally caught on the window.
Alexander suddenly reached out and grabbed that hand.
Exclaimed from the other side of the window, and then a face suddenly appeared in front of Alexander.
Looking at the familiar face, Alexander couldn't help but stunned for an instant!
He finally knew why the voice of Sister Alft sounded so familiar, and she would appear in this virgin convent again.
That face is exactly the same as the Queen Mary of Portugal.
The only difference is that her skin is black.
