Ca: Entre ells, Roger, un jove guia turístic, observava atentament.

Ca: La seva mirada es desplaçava d'un costat a l'altre, buscant alguna cosa especial per impressionar Marta, una historiadora de Barcelona.

Ca: "Però com investigarem si tot està tancat?
En: "But how will we investigate if everything is closed?"

Ca: " va preguntar Marta, dubitativa.
En: Marta asked, doubtful.

Ca: Roger va somriure.
En: Roger smiled.

Ca: "Conec aquest lloc com el palmell de la meva mà.
En: "I know this place like the back of my hand.

Ca: Hi ha camins que ningú més coneix.

Ca: Caminaven amb cura, escoltant el silenci de l'hivern interromput només pel cruixir de la neu sota els seus peus.
En: They walked carefully, listening to the winter silence interrupted only by the crunch of the snow under their feet.

Ca: Van explorar cada racó, fins que van trobar una antiga porta mig amagada per l'heura.

Ca: "Diuen que hi ha passatges secrets que connecten parts del monestir que ningú viu recorda," va murmurar Roger, obrint la porta amb esforç.

En: "I only wanted to protect it," the man confessed, fearing that the reliquary would be lost in the bustle of the celebrations.

Ca: Amb delicadesa, Roger i Marta van persuadir l'home per retornar el reliquiari sense cap escàndol.
