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

Charles was puzzled. At first glance, Venalus seemed to have some knowledge of the painting.

The painting was handed to her so frivolously. Now that it has returned to her, it will be difficult for Venalus to get it back no matter what.

"why is that?"

"Are you sure you want to return it like this? Aren't you afraid that we will run away like last time?"

Charles got the painting back, which in a sense meant he got an opportunity.

But Venalus shook her head.

"Theoretically, this thing should be reported to the dictator, the angel everyone talks about."

"But now that the angel is gone, the remaining order, regulations, and jurisdiction will be temporarily taken over by the Duke."

"After all, it's a holy object. Ordinary magic can't control it at all. Even if I keep it with me, I can't guarantee that it will remain intact."

Listening to what Vinales said, it felt like he was entrusting Charles with an important task.

But for her, yes.

"And what else?"

"You mean, about the mistakes you made?"

Ye Xi did not nod, but looked at Vinales coldly.

And Vinales took it as a tacit agreement and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The results are out, I'm going to tell you one by one, I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"According to the feedback and evidence from the adventurers, the male adventurer you injured was named Levi, and he is Li De's younger brother."

"That's right, it was that guy who started it all, causing trouble. Adventurers like that are common, so it's not excessive to teach him a lesson."

After hearing this, Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief for a moment. This was exactly the result he wanted.

But now, things are not that simple. Venalus continued:

"But you didn't control the strength of your blows. When we were chasing you, there were obvious knife wounds on Levi's body. Did you do that?"

Ye Xi was silent. There was no need to answer, and he couldn't even find an excuse to fool people.

"Attacking the knight and refusing to cooperate are enough to warrant a sentence."

"Then I want to know if you wrote any notes in your mind that could explain your actions while you were on the run?"

"If I could do it again, I would have been willing to be arrested at that time."

Ye Xi's answer surprised Venalus.

But there was no way. This was Ye Xi's impromptu "defense" at the moment, and it had no effect in front of the knight captain Vinales.

"Then you should reflect on your actions here and wait for your punishment."

"If you dare to escape, your crime will be even more serious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Venalus opened the prison door, then closed it and left.

Although I eventually made an irreparable mistake, the pressure disappeared in an instant after I poured out all my inner thoughts.

Ye Xi was somewhat looking forward to what crime was waiting for her.

"I've only just arrived at the first stop of my journey, and I didn't expect to be thrown into prison."

"But this isn't a cell, it feels more like a storage room?"

"Wait a minute, I didn't seem to have done anything, so why am I locked up here?"

Only then did Charles realize that Vinales had been talking to Ye Xi the whole time, while he was just watching quietly from the side, pretending to be air.

But she mentioned "you" just now, which means that regardless of whether Charles was guilty or not, Venalus forced him to be imprisoned as an accomplice.

"This... is a bit of a miscalculation."

"But it doesn't matter, the right to freedom is in our hands now!"

Ciel has taken back the sacred object called "Travel in the Painting" and has now become extremely arrogant.

But Ye Xi had no intention of escaping, because he didn't want to make things worse and affect the subsequent journey.

"Forget about all that for now and see what the food in this country tastes like."

"Ok."

Before leaving, Vinales had left a plate of food behind. It was still a little warm and fragrant.

On the corridor inside the palace, Venalus walked with his steps straight and his body upright.

He looked a little dazed, thinking about the information he got from Ye Xi and Xia Er.

"House... I vaguely remember playing games in a house with Lana when I was little..."

"Wait...it seems to have been abandoned by then. I wonder when it was abandoned? Is the house still there?"

In order to complete the request that Lana had reported to the Knights long ago, Vinales stayed up all night trying to find ways to investigate and kept asking the military advisors with the highest task completion rates.

Occasionally, she would appear and wander around the Adventurer's Guild. Whenever she appeared, there would always be some misunderstandings. People who saw her would actively stay away from her for fear of becoming the subject of investigation.

But this Lanamani seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one recognized the name.

When the Black Mist incident plunged the Rhine Kingdom into crisis, she had to temporarily put aside this investigation mission.

Until now, she began to regret why she made that request so easily.

After all, I overestimated my work efficiency, and it is unpredictable to encounter incredible things.

This caused cracks in the previous emotional shield, and he used that excuse because he had failed to live up to Lana's expectations.

But now that things have come to this, it's too late to say anything. For her, even if it makes her infamous, she must give Lana back some hope.

"It's almost time. It looks like the next period of time belongs to me alone again."

After a busy day, it was finally time for Vinales to get off work.

Perhaps it is because the work efficiency of the Knights and other captains has improved recently, and they have devoted all their efforts to clearing the dangers in the area outside the city, so it is now much more peaceful.

Because most people were protected by the city walls, the black fog was unable to invade and instead targeted the innocent animals.

Now Vinales no longer needs to be so serious and it is time for her to take a break.

"Father, do you have any other matters to attend to?"

Venalus opened the door of her father's office. The palace was very quiet at night. The maids and butlers were all handling their own chores.

But this luxurious palace built in the city is not Venalus's home. It is just the place where she comes and goes during her work.

As soon as he opened the door, Venalus saw his father sitting in front of the desk, staring at the books anxiously.

Rather than describing them as books, those scattered on the desk look more like yellowed old notebooks.

And Vinales carefully discovered that there were many fine beads of sweat on Virivalo's face, and his brows were furrowed as if he had seen something incredible.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Vina... Les..."

Villivaro's voice had a slight tremor, and his breathing became rapid and his eyes widened.
