Late at night, Lana's house was quiet, with many messy footprints on the floor.

Lana sat on the sofa in a daze, wanting to cry but unable to. Although her strength had almost recovered, she was completely dejected.

She felt very guilty and regretful, and the scenes of what had happened before kept flashing through her mind.

One day after Ye Xi and Xia Er went to Lingxi Mountain, Vinales, for some unknown reason, searched their home.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have let my momentary impulsiveness lead to this outcome..."

The time needs to go back three days.

Lana got up as usual and dressed in simple pajamas in the house to get ready for work.

First, I do the daily washing, then eat breakfast, water the flowers, and appreciate the flowers, and use a small notebook to record every morning.

But when she was cleaning the room carefully, she found a book box in the bookcase that looked ordinary but was actually extraordinary.

Lana usually likes to read books and flips through the same bookcase over and over again. It was only today that she noticed something unusual.

The box is made of wood. Perhaps because it has been stored for a long time, it looks very old, but one can feel a power flowing outside the box.

Lana didn't understand at all. Secondly, the book box was locked. It was a cursed lock that could not be opened with an ordinary key.

As a priestess, Lana would naturally discard this strange book box as an evil object.

But then I thought, this thing was only discovered today. I had never noticed it before. I unexpectedly found it by accident while cleaning. This means it must have been here for quite a long time.

Lana carefully took it out, placed it on the magic circle, and looked at it carefully.

"Demara..."

"Isn't that my last name?"

Lana Ann Demara is the full name of this priestess.

Lana accidentally saw the three words "Demara" on the outside of the book box.

Although the magical power seemed to have suppressed the strange book box, no matter how Lana fiddled with it, it remained indifferent.

This book box is said to be locked, but in fact there is no lock at all, as if there is a thousand-pound rock pressing on it.

Even the slightest exertion on Lana's fair hands would cause her fingers to turn red.

Although Lana saw her last name written on it, she had no recollection of the book box. However, this made her think of her family.

Lana remembers having a grandmother. She has never seen her biological parents, but she only remembers that her grandmother raised her since she was a child.

Until one day, not long after Lana took up the position of priestess, her grandmother disappeared quietly.

Lana is still looking forward to her return, and this small villa built outside her residence also belongs to her grandmother.

But as time went on, Lana took on and performed her job as a priestess. As she grew older, she became more and more indifferent to her grandmother's disappearance.

Until his good friend checked in and left, he didn't hear any news about her.

To this day, whenever Lana sees this strange book box, she slowly begins to think about opening it.

As luck would have it, Vinales suddenly came to the door.

Lana naturally had to go and greet the knight captain in person. Since she appeared here, her purpose was self-evident.

"Ms. Lana, you should have heard about that incident, right?"

"Um...is it about the two of them?"

"I'm sorry, but as a priest I certainly won't hide anything, and I certainly won't interfere with the work of your Knights."

"But I'll be honest, they left and I couldn't stop them."

Lana's answer surprised Venalus, and with just a few words, it negated the rest of the conversation.

Even in Lana's house, Vinales would be tough, with his arms folded and his legs crossed elegantly as he faced Lana.

But even so, Lana answered Vinales's question calmly.

Lana's attitude was very frank, and she talked almost endlessly, which made Vinales feel very embarrassed.

It’s not that Lana didn’t want to stop him, but the situation was unfavorable at the time. In a two-on-one situation, you have to act according to the situation.

But Ye Xi didn't tell Lana where she should go, but in fact Lana already knew it.

Because she knew that Brest's home was in Lingxi Mountain, but it happened that Vinales was relatively unfamiliar with Brest, and the two rarely met.

"Well, considering that you have a good relationship with them, the Knights' work requires your help."

"Captain Venalus, you seem to have misunderstood something."

"Although I am a priest and often go in and out of the Great Hall on weekdays, in the final analysis, there is still a distance between the two."

"It's not that I don't want to, but once I leave the main city, I can be more free. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Lana's tone clearly meant she was politely rejecting Venalus.

First, Ye Xi has done Lana a great favor, and second, Lana herself is at home. As long as she steps out of the palace and the main city, she has the right to choose.

No longer sticking to the level of treatment, attaching selfish thoughts to the surface.

Therefore, Lana naturally has the right to refuse any request or cooperation from Vinales.

"Oh, well..."

Venalus sighed softly, because what Lana said was true.

But knights are different from priests. People like Vinares usually have a superior behind them who accuses them from behind.

Lana is a relatively minority resident in the Rhine Kingdom and does not need to sacrifice herself for her ideals on a regular basis.

Just when Lana thought that she could get rid of Venalus in this way, she became dazed the next second.

"Excuse me, Captain Venalus, what can I do for you right now?"

"If you're alright, considering the peace we've had these days, I'd like to rest more today."

Lana didn't even wear her priest's uniform, but went to meet Venalus in pajamas.

It was still somewhat incompetent, but Vinales did not want to pursue it. After all, as he said before, he thought it was not within his jurisdiction.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I was looking through my notebook this morning when I stumbled across a somewhat old report."

"The disappearance of Lanamani Ann Demara, and the applicant is Lana Ann Demara."

"Ugh?!"

Lana was startled when she heard a name similar to her own from Venalus's mouth.

Lana was particularly impressed by the name. This person with the same surname as her was undoubtedly her grandmother.

This is what she thought at the moment, because she had never seen her biological parents, and the only relative she could think of was her grandmother.

"It comes from a case within these five years, which was pushed to the bottom by many other cases."

"Because this incident is so mysterious, there is no trace of the progress of the case analysis."

"But since it's your story, I think it's very important to you, so I'll report it to the Duke."

Lana then recalled that she had indeed reported her grandmother missing and asked the Knights to find her.

But what Venalus said was also very clear, because it was mysterious and there was no trace to be found.

So far, there has been no news, but Venerus has conveyed this matter directly to the "Duke".

This means that as long as we mobilize some manpower, we will definitely find some clues.

Lana immediately remained silent, giving Vinalus the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

"So, let me say it again, what do you think?"
