The nun's words landed like a bolt from the blue for both Charlie and Maria. Neither of them had anticipated becoming the focal point of attention right in front of a remote nunnery in the Shiwan Mountains, all while avoiding Morgana's detection.
Without allowing Maria a chance to respond, Charlie fixed the nun with a vigilant gaze and inquired, "Who are you? Are you impersonating a nun, washing clothes here just to lay a trap for us?"
The nun pressed her hands together and offered a slight bow to Charlie. She replied, "Kind sir, I am no imposter. I am a bhikshuni of Greenwood Nunnery. I have dedicated myself to the path of enlightenment here. Our abbot knew that you both would pass by today and requested that I wait for your arrival."
She then turned her gaze to Maria and continued with a sense of gravity, "Dear madam, our abbott believes you have a profound connection with Buddhism and wishes to extend an invitation for you to visit the nunnery briefly. It won't take much of your time."
Maria considered the proposition for a moment and nodded gently.
