Brest led Lana to his tree house on a white horse.

After tying up the white horse, he took Lana into the cabin to enjoy this rare time together.

They had rarely seen each other since their failed attempt to defeat the Demon King.

Brest would go to Lana in person to interact with her, but it was not just for fun, but usually when there was a commission.

At that time, the Rhine Kingdom was even more chaotic than it is now, with numerous commissions, most of which were related to the black fog.

Ever since Brest returned to Lingxi Mountain, his body has shown symptoms he had never seen before.

But Lana didn't. She was in the same healthy condition as before.

Brest brought out the only wheat bread and purified water left in the house for the reception.

Lana didn't say anything about such simple and plain food, but Brest seemed a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, something happened recently and it just settled down. We are currently re-planning the food supply."

"I'm sorry that I can't entertain you in the best way possible on your rare visit."

Brest scratched his head awkwardly, looking for the reasons within himself before the formal conversation even started.

This scene made Lana cover her mouth and let out a soft laugh.

Looking at the behavior of the young man in front of me, yesterday's sadness disappeared in an instant.

Lana looks petite, like a teenage girl, but her mental age gives her a sense of someone who has fully understood the ways of the world.

Even though there is affection between them, Lana will not show it too obviously.

She was very restrained in her feelings and didn't even dislike Brest's fluttering heart.

"There's no need to be so nervous. It's okay to relax a little in private."

"Oh, okay."

Brest nodded with a slight blush on his face. In this situation where he was not threatened, the only person he could focus on was probably this holy priestess, right?

But Lana didn't want to keep it a secret. It wasn't that she complained about the poor hospitality, but there were more important things to do at the moment.

Lana took a deep breath, took a sip of the water on the table, and continued to tell the story, including the whole story.

Brest listened to the information very attentively throughout the whole process, frowning from time to time and looking extremely solemn.

"So that's why they came here."

"Since you introduced me here, there's no need for me to pursue the matter, because I believe in your reasons for doing so."

Brest's answer surprised Lana a little, but at the same time, his expression became much more natural, just like a normal chat.

But this is not just a normal chat. There must be other reasons why Lana can say all this without any concealment.

"But I did try to send them away once."

"In the end, they will still be arrested..."

Brest sighed softly, as if to express that it would have been better if he had not let them leave so early.

Lana was also thinking silently. She also knew about the previous changes in Lingxi Mountain.

When I first came here, I was still wondering whether to hire a few adventurers to help me. What should I do if the crisis resurfaces?

Unfortunately, I didn't think too much at that time. My head was overwhelmed by guilt. After riding the white horse, I kept heading towards this side.

Because she couldn't guarantee how Ye Xi and Xia Er would be interrogated, and when she heard Venalus put their names on the trial list, she felt that things had gotten out of hand.

Rumor has it that most criminals who were tried in their original countries did not have a good ending.

If an angel were to participate in the judgment, then the life or death of the sinner would no longer have any value.

"Regarding that knight captain, I would like to say that it is best not to interfere."

"Lana, since you found me, it must be more than just telling me the news, right?"

"Well, this time is different. There's no commission, no training. Instead, we need your help to mitigate their crimes and seek their release."

"To be honest, I saw the angel last night."

Brest was shocked when he heard this.

"Lord Angel?!"

Brest's reaction was within Lana's expectations, as the angel of the Rhine had disappeared for half a year.

At that time, the Rhine Kingdom was still in a period of peace and prosperity, but everything changed after returning from the Demon King's City.

"So, what revelation did the angel give you?"

“Not a revelation, but a word that seems to be guidance.”

"Brest, can you come with me to see Captain Venalus?"

Lana even deliberately lowered her tone, which was equivalent to an unconditional request, and she couldn't think of a reason for the time being.

But Brest closed his eyes and remained silent, even speechless.

Because Brest was very disgusted with the Knights Templar, even felt disgusted with them.

They appear upright and dedicated to their duties, but in fact the knights below the captain appear to be lazy, rigid and unreasonable.

In Lana's opinion, a knight's mental state is certainly important, but sometimes being too meticulous will cause dissatisfaction among some people.

Unfortunately, Brest is not from the city and only occasionally goes to meet up with Lana to complete tasks.

That's why there are all kinds of words that Brest uses to label the Knights.

"But if I go, can I successfully release Ye Xi?"

"Well... I'm not sure, but it would be great if it's possible."

Lana didn't know why she made such a casual request.

Perhaps it was because during the time Ye Xi was hiding, he interacted with Brest many times in Lingxi Mountain, and even ushered in unprecedented peace.

She thought Brest was the person who knew them best besides herself.

What's more, there is an important partner in the human camp, Charles, who comes from the distant elf kingdom.

However, he was walking side by side with a demihuman of unknown origin, which led to them both being imprisoned.

"Yes, of course I will release them together."

"Well...actually, I think so too—"

"Eh? What did you say?"

Lana was prepared to be rejected, after all, she also knew that it was risky.

But who knew that Brest's answer would be so unexpected.

"I have a million reasons to refuse, but the favor is so great that I can't refuse."

"Without them, Lingxi Mountain would never have been saved from danger. Without them, the animals and residents here would probably have been completely wiped out from the Rhine Country."

"And I, no, it's the Kurt family that might be wiped out by this crisis."

"Lukaon, the guardian of the Spirit Breath Mountains, probably can't do anything about this inexplicable thing, right?"

Lana was a little dazed when she heard this, but a look of joy still emerged in her heart.

The priest's vision was not deceiving me. From the very first time we met, Lana immediately determined that the arrogant animal-eared loli was definitely not normal.

"Heh~ Thank you, Brest."

Lana showed a gentle and sweet smile, and the high-spirited Brest immediately blushed.

"No, no, no, you're welcome. Just consider it as a reward."

"Ahem, then start packing now, and we'll go there tonight."
