The produce in the purple Spirit Fields—whether Ghost Vine, Star Dew Sweet Orange, or the various fruit trees—would all have to wait until the end of this harvest season before they could be gathered. After Su Li and Vandar strolled for a while through the orchard of their Holy Land, they entered the Monastery.
This was the most important silk-production base in the Hesse Territory; after a whole spring of breeding, the Summer Silkworms had already begun to be cultivated on a large scale.
As the guards pushed open the door, Su Li and Vandar stepped into the room. The two Priestesses in the Monastery, both wearing Reya's wheat-crown, rose at once and curtsied slightly toward Su Li. "May the morning light ever rest upon your robes, my Lord."
Su Li smiled and nodded. "We meet again, Sister Caterina and Sister Lolita."
