Maria seemed to have deciphered the old nun’s cryptic words. She asked, “Are you suggesting that Marvel’s rebirth depends entirely on Mr. Wade?”

The old nun replied noncommittally, “The humble nun has already alluded to that. Some questions are best contemplated by Miss Clark herself. However, it’s imperative that Mr. Wade remains unaware of these matters.”

Maria, sensing the old nun’s reluctance to reveal more, pressed on. “Is there any other guidance from you?”

“None,” the old nun clasped her hands together respectfully. “I’ve heard Miss Clark’s name for a long time. Seeing you today fulfills the humble nun’s wish. Mr. Wade is waiting at the mountain’s base. Miss Clark should descend soon and persuade him to return to Aurous Hill.”

Maria could tell that the old nun intended to bid her farewell, but she was not ready to give up. She hurriedly asked, “Master, what should Master Wade do next? If we can’t proceed today, I fear Master Wade will face danger. Please, Master, guide us on our future path!”

The old nun’s expression revealed a struggle, and after a long pause, she finally spoke, “Miss Clark, please instruct Mr. Wade to open his Soul Palace as soon as possible. Only by unlocking the Soul Palace can we have a fighting chance against Morgana.”

Maria grew increasingly perplexed about the old nun’s identity. She couldn’t fathom why Charlie was maintaining such a low profile and concealing his true self. The old nun appeared to know him well, even being aware that Charlie had yet to unlock the Soul Palace.

Maria wanted to pose more questions, but the old nun had already opened the main hall’s door and called out, “Please escort our guest out.”

The young nun who had led Maria to the old nun now emerged from a side chamber. She respectfully addressed Maria, “Miss Clark, please follow me.”

With little choice, Maria nodded, gazed at the old nun, and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, Master, for your guidance.”

The old nun nodded in acknowledgment and offered a gentle smile. “Amitabha, may you take care of yourself, Miss Clark.”

Maria bid her farewell to the old nun and followed the other out of the Greenwood Nunnery’s gate.
