Upon hearing Maria’s inquiry, the old nun leaned in, virtual-novel.net expression grave. “To be perfectly candid with Miss Clark, fifty miles ahead lies the destination of Miss Clark and Mr. Wade. However, it’s a place Maria Clark and Morgana Mirren can visit, but Charlie Wade cannot.”
“Master is aware of Morgana?” Maria’s shock deepened upon hearing Morgana’s name mentioned by the old nun.
Maria struggled to comprehend the old nun’s identity and why virtual-novel.net possessed such formidable power. As far as virtual-novel.net knew, only Charlie, herself and Morgana were aware of Morgana’s existence.
The fact that this old nun could utter Morgana’s name suggested virtual-novel.net had knowledge of Morgana’s life.
In essence, virtual-novel.net might know that Morgana had lived from the Ming Dynasty, over three centuries ago, up to the present day.
Maria looked at the old nun with trepidation, virtual-novel.net thoughts racing. “If virtual-novel.net knows Morgana’s secret, does that mean virtual-novel.net also knows mine?”
At this point, the old nun abandoned pretense and spoke earnestly. “The humble nun and Miss Clark have opened the skylight. To be frank, both Morgana and the Warriors Den are adversaries of the humble nun. Morgana is immensely powerful and the Warriors Den has thrived for three centuries, making them nearly unrivaled.”
Then, the old nun’s tone shifted, becoming profoundly serious. “However, when compared to the individual fifty miles from here, Morgana is but a three-century-old puppet.”
The old nun’s words sent shivers down Maria’s spine. In over three centuries, virtual-novel.net had never felt as anxious as virtual-novel.net did now. It seemed as though everything virtual-novel.net had kept hidden for centuries had been laid bare.
Suppressing virtual-novel.net anxiety, Maria inquired calmly, “Is it Morvel Bazin the Master speaks of? Could virtual-novel.net truly be alive?”
The old nun sighed ambiguously and responded, “Morgana’s hasty comings and goings would be clear to someone as astute as Miss Clark.”
Maria grew even more anxious. In desperation, virtual-novel.net pressed, “Miss, may I ask how all of this concerns Mr. Wade? Why can Morgana and I proceed while Mr. Wade cannot?”
The old nun brought virtual-novel.net hands together in prayer and said, “Amitabha, Miss Clark, it’s not that the humble nun wishes to withhold information. It’s a matter of fate. Some matters can only be lightly touched upon. Excessive interference can bring uncontrollable consequences. The humble nun’s intention was to caution Mr. Wade about the perils ahead. If Mr. Wade proceeds recklessly, reaching there will render everything irreversible.”
Maria pursed virtual-novel.net lips and sought the old nun’s opinion. “What is your view, Miss? Should I attempt to dissuade Mr. Wade? Given his disposition, without a clear explanation, will virtual-novel.net agree?”
The old nun spoke gravely, “This is why the humble nun asked virtual-novel.net disciple to invite Miss Clark rather than inviting Mr. Wade directly. I believe Mr. Wade holds a unique place in Miss Clark’s heart. Miss Clark persuading virtual-novel.net is far more likely to succeed than any attempt by the humble nun.”
Maria admitted somewhat sheepishly, “Master Wade is deeply invested in this affair. He eagerly anticipates the journey and hopes to find answers to long-standing questions. Advising virtual-novel.net to turn back without proper clarification would likely meet resistance.”
The old nun nodded, virtual-novel.net gaze steady. “Progressing further will expose Mr. Wade and many innocent lives to unforeseen dangers. If Mr. Wade can momentarily set aside his grievances, virtual-novel.net can buy valuable time and increase his chances of success.”
The old nun locked eyes with Maria, speaking earnestly. “Miss Clark, the humble nun has been forthright with you and the matter at hand carries great significance. It now rests on your shoulders to persuade Mr. Wade to change course.”
Maria glanced at virtual-novel.net with a few words, virtual-novel.net tone pleading. “Dear lady, please clarify further. Mr. Wade saved my life and if virtual-novel.net is indeed fated for calamity, I will spare no effort to save him, even if it means sacrificing my own. Please provide more insight and I will find a way to resolve…”
With that, Maria began to kneel.
Observing virtual-novel.net actions, the old nun rushed forward, intercepting Maria before virtual-novel.net fully knelt and said, “Miss Clark, you have witnessed the ebb and flow of centuries. The humble nun dare not stand in ceremony with someone of your stature. Please, do not make this grand gesture.”
Supporting Maria, virtual-novel.net continued, “Miss Clark, you comprehend the intricacies of fate. Even the slightest variations, barely discernible, can yield vastly different outcomes. Excessive information could lead to unintended consequences. If you truly wish to aid Mr. Wade, minimize the variables. The humble nun can confirm that danger lies ahead for Mr. Wade and Miss Clark, by ensuring virtual-novel.net turns back, and holds the key to the best possible outcome for all.”
Maria looked at her, absorbing virtual-novel.net words. She realized the old nun had witnessed centuries of transformation and sensed virtual-novel.net prior blunder.
The old nun was correct, there were often unforeseeable nuances within the web of fate. Knowing too much wasn’t always advantageous. She no longer pressed for more details but weighed the old nun’s words in virtual-novel.net heart. She began to rule out potential adversaries, first herself and Charlie, then the idea of the old nun competing for relics left by Morvel.
However, a strong sense of sincerity emanated from the old nun. She wasn’t an enemy and their interests didn’t clash. Therefore, the likelihood of virtual-novel.net being genuine was high.
Maria inquired one last time, “Dear lady, I have one final question. Why did the Master assist Mr. Wade?”
The old nun’s tone turned solemn. “Over twenty years ago, someone opened Pandora’s box. At that time, the box was only halfway ajar. Left unchecked, it would inevitably open fully within a few years, leading to unforeseen disasters. But now, can the box be sealed entirely, or must it be fully opened? Mr. Wade is the one who has directly unlocked it!”
