Crossing the Other World: Slave Loli will not be covered by the veil

The appearance of Vinales made the atmosphere a little heavy, and she even did the same thing as her father.

After the guards placed the plates on the ground, they followed Vinales's gesture and left with the other guards.

Even the cell door was not closed, and it seemed like she did it on purpose.

"Come on, now that you're awake, have some food."

"Just sit on the ground and eat?"

There is no need to say much about the sanitary conditions of the cells where prisoners are held. They are obviously poor and shabby.

The ground was cold and damp, it was a habitat for tiny mosquitoes, and there was a strange smell in the air. There wasn't even a bed here.

Don’t you think it’s dirty to eat and drink here?

Seeing that Ye Xi and Xia Er had no response, Vinales frowned, half-knelt down in front of them, picked up a piece of hot bread, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Don't worry, there's no poison in here. All of this food is freshly baked."

"Or is it that these foods don't suit your appetite?"

During the conversation, Vinales picked up a liquor glass and poured the bright red wine from the bottle that had been opened in advance into it.

In order to prove that the food in front of him was not poisonous, Vinales tasted it without hesitation.

But for the two indifferent people, it was no longer a question of whether it was poisonous or not.

Ye Xi had no appetite at the moment, but Xia Er swallowed his saliva instead.

To be honest, Charles had never felt a craving for food in such a harsh environment.

From time to time, she would glance at Ye Xi's indifferent expression, and she knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.

After all, there has been no other opinion or change about Vinales's previous cause.

"I'm not here to cause you any trouble, please rest assured."

"As long as you cooperate, I, as captain, will guarantee that you will not be threatened in any way during the following conversation."

When Venalus said this, Ye Xi and Xia Er were slightly stunned.

"Are we finally going to declare our crimes?" Ye Xi asked.

"This is secondary. I didn't come to you privately for this reason."

"But it seems you haven't noticed yet."

Venalus took a sip of the wine in his glass and then stopped eating.

From the beginning until now, Ye Xi and Xia Er just stood there stupidly watching Vinales eating in a half-squatting position.

However, the amount of food on the plate did not decrease significantly. From a certain perspective, Vinales was just testing the poison.

"This cell is a bit small, but to tell you the truth, it's not used to hold prisoners."

"Regarding the trial and sentencing, it all depends on your performance."

Seeing that being soft was not working, Vinales had no choice but to compromise and get straight to the point.

"My time is short and precious, so there's no need to waste it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Venalus took out the painting and showed it to them.

The two of them expressed confusion almost at the same time, with Charles's expression showing obvious tension.

"Let's not talk about the origin of this painting for now. I want to know where you got it from?"

"Where did you get it from? What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Xi's words instantly silenced Vinales, whose mouth was still so unreasonable.

Ye Xi was not afraid at all of what the other party would do to him next.

Because she was waiting for an opportunity. If the Knights insisted on sentencing her, Ye Xi would accept it, but before that, she needed to send Charles to a safe place.

"No, of course it has something to do with me."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next. This thing has a long history, even dating back to the era when it was shaped."

"The Demara family, which has survived from the last era to this day, is now on the verge of extinction."

"This item is the sacred object passed down from generation to generation in this family. I believe you should know its name."

Ye Xi didn't say anything because it wasn't her who was going to use it at first.

Ciel beside him suddenly nodded in confirmation and replied:

"Travel in the painting."

"That's right, but as it stands now, what you've found is only half of it, not the whole thing."

Venalus slowed down his speech for the last few words and asked a question that Ye Xi could not refuse.

"Next, as long as you tell me where you got this holy relic, I will return it to you for safekeeping."

"And the reason is that I can't control this power, and it's difficult for me to figure out its use."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other for a while, but Venalus did not mention releasing them.

But as the captain of the knights, how could she negotiate terms with the "criminal"?

Ye Xi thought about it again and again, and considered the next conversation carefully. As long as he got the painting back, his freedom would be in his hands.

"This is indeed hard to refuse, so you must listen carefully."

"But how can I trust you?"

The painting is currently still in the hands of Venalus. Ye Xi is worried and doesn't think she will keep her promise.

And if it were an ordinary person, the first thing he would consider is how to ensure that he would not lose what he has while getting it.

To put it bluntly, it is a method of protecting one's own interests at the expense of others' interests. The typical behavior is to let the other party answer first.

But Ye Xi had no choice but to do as he was told since he was the victim.

"Weighing the pros and cons, it depends on your choice."

Obviously, there is no credibility in what Vinales said.

But if we keep dragging it on like this, we might miss the opportunity.

"I don't know the origin of this painting, but we accepted a commission with no content, no name, and no expected remuneration."

"I forget the location, but it was an old abandoned house. That's where the painting came from."

Ye Xi's simple description and summarized information left Venalus confused.

Rather, it seems like a randomly made-up reason.

“That’s a good point, but it’s not quite true.”

"But I can testify!"

Charles' sudden words interrupted the awkwardness in the air. Venalus glanced at Charles' expression, without a ripple in his eyes.

"What Ye Xi said is true, but it doesn't sound very realistic. Why not listen to my description?"

"I, Ye Xi, and a companion... accidentally entered that house and were trapped in some strange constraints."

"Time is confused, strange things happen one after another, and doors lead to different places. To me, everything seems unreal, but the experience is extremely real!"

Charles controlled the content very well and deliberately avoided the topic of the fortune teller.

All of this echoes Venalus's original topic.

Now it is also stated in the present moment, which makes it much easier to understand after Charles puts it this way, but there are no excessive details.

After hearing what was said, Vinales stood there in a daze for a moment, then the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Ye Xi and Xia Er noticed this action and immediately became alert.

"It's really strange. It seems we need to send the Knights to investigate."

"External searches are being conducted, and these old-fashioned residences no longer exist in this day and age, so they may have been overlooked."

Vinales stood there muttering to himself, looking a little weird.

The next second, she gently waved her right hand, and the painting emitted a faint purple glow, suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this, Charles stretched out his hands to hold it, and in confusion, the painting floated into his hands.
