After Lance returned to Marlene, he immediately went to the temple branch, took Roque's words out as they were, and also identified himself, which made the people in the branch feel that things were not ordinary, and immediately contacted the Suzaku Temple in the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The branch told Lance that even if he contacted the Suzaku Temple and wanted to talk to the chief priest of the Suzaku Temple, he would have to wait at least two hours, and during this time, Lance would go outside.

Lance pondered what to do next, he tried many methods, but to no avail, he couldn't find the slightest bit of information, and he couldn't find out where Danica was.

"Let's go to the park. ”

He walked to the park in the city, which was great for a walk and would not be disturbed. There, I can make my mind clearer to some extent, and I hope to be inspired to think of other ways.

Lance came to the park, found a chair near the flower bed and sat down, looked at the fountain not far away, and began to think about everything before and after Danica's disappearance, and tidy it up.

"From the beginning, I was invited, and then, Danica disappeared in the Magic Guild. I went to the Magic Guild to investigate, and the first time there was nothing, even Neuva was helping me, and even the magicians of the Magic Guild knew about it, but nothing was investigated, and what I said was like a joke. It's like Danica wasn't there at all, and her disappearance was a hallucination. ”

Lance muttered to himself, smiling bitterly, the facts were in front of him, it was not an illusion at all, he couldn't deceive himself like this.

"It's been almost a month, where the hell is she. ”

"Sorry, master. ”

"Sword of Thunder?"

"I can't help you. ”

“…… You don't have to say such things, it's my problem, I failed to protect her. ”

“……”

"I know she's okay now......"

There is a special connection between Lance and Danica, in addition to Excalibur and Excalibur owner, there is also the person who wields the sword, Danica is the one who wields the sword, the one who helps Lance balance and control the power of Excalibur.

In the time since Danica's disappearance, Lance has felt no different than before, and his form is stable.

"Forget it, I shouldn't waste my time here saying things like this that don't help me. ”

Lance stood up and walked out of the park.

In the streets, Reims witnessed the bards singing the beautiful songs of the past, and the mysterious and melodious sound reached his ears, and his tense mind could not help but relax a little, and his mood was soothed.

Speaking of which, the number of bards who came to Marille during this season increased. ”

After that, Lance walked around the neighborhood, and when he saw that the time was about the same, he walked in the direction of the temple branch. Entering the temple branch, and when you came, you have seen those faces, usually, the people who come here are ordinary commoners, and it is against the rules of the temple for nobles to step here.

Even so, there is no need to care about this kind of rule, because it is a special case, and Lance is not an ordinary nobleman, just like Roque Swaiter, Roque is one of the very few nobles who often deal with the Temple of the Four Directions.

After saying hello to them, Lance quickly knew what to expect.

The branch told Lance that the chief shaman knew about it and promised to arrive in Mariel in a day's time, that is, in the evening of the next day, when he would come back to the branch to meet the head priest of the Suzaku Temple.

Upon hearing the news, Lance left the temple branch, intending to tell his father and Roque the news. When they reached the city gate, they saw the carriage of Jepéry's family coming this way, the same carriage that Lance had been riding out of the city a few hours earlier.

"Yes? I see. ”

Redik nodded.

"You two can go back first, and come over to the temple branch together tomorrow evening. ”

"Go back, that's it?"

Lance was anxious when he saw Roque step to leave, but Redrick pressed his shoulder and told him, "Don't ask, there will be an answer tomorrow." ”

"Father?"

"Go back, I still have things to deal with. ”

"Father, whatever you and the teacher have discovered, it's okay to reveal a little bit now and let me know, right?"

"You'll know tomorrow, go back, I'm tired. ”

"Father!"

Rederik ignored Lance's shouts, turned and stepped into the carriage, told the coachman the address, and seemed to be going back to Jepéry's house.

“…… Maybe I've waited so long, I don't care about a day. ”

"Danica, please wait for me a little longer. ”

Lance prayed to the gods of the four directions, sincerely prayed, prayed to see her soon.

"I can't believe it's been almost a month. ”

"Danica ......"

Lance felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he couldn't stop here.

"It's been a long time since I've been there, sorry, Sword of Thunder, I miss the taste of wine a little bit, I haven't touched it much in this time. ”

He wanted a change of mood, and tasting wine was his hobby, and since returning to Marlene, he has been busy training, putting aside all other hobbies. And now, he remembered the feeling of tasting red wine, because he began to feel that time had become difficult.

I went to the restaurant I usually liked, found a place to sit on the first floor, and listened to the waiter's recommendation to order a ten-year-old bottle of wine and a cooked meal. While waiting, Lance looked out the window and saw the street outside.

"I don't know what happened to Ridingpa now, they haven't received Danica yet, so they must be very anxious. ”

"Sword of Thunder, no, forget it. ”

Danica's disappearance should be kept secret from them for the time being, the plan for the reconstruction of Ridingpa City is underway, and if the reconstruction is delayed due to the disappearance of Danica, Danica will be annoyed when Danica is found. However, it really has to be hidden for the time being, and they are a little pitiful to Dawn.

At the end of the day, it was Lance's mistake.

Huge misses.

“…… When the time comes. ”

Lance made a decision in his mind, for now, let's hide her disappearance for the time being.

Thinking so, Lance has a new problem.

"Sword of Thunder, how to say it, no matter where she is now, she has been away from the mountain city for a while, I must write a letter to Ridingpa City, if you have anything to say, I can help you add it. ”

The waiter came with the wine, and as he put it down, he gave Lance a strange look.

Lance didn't notice this, nor did he notice that the people nearby were whispering to him alone, and continued to talk to the Sword of Thunder. The waiter poured him a glass of wine and left, and Lance picked up the glass, took a small sip, and heard a voice.

"Cousin, you're here. ”

Noeva would be here too, and Lance put down her glass, and she sat down.

"It's been a while. ”

"Where have you been lately? I tried to look for you but couldn't find her, her disappearance...... How's that now?Did you find it?" Neueva looked at Lance's face at the second half of the sentence, and her voice couldn't help but turn low.

"There has been no progress at all. ”

To be honest, there are still a few unresolved issues about Danica's disappearance, what happened to the threatening letter sent to Jepéry's house, his father didn't say a word, and there is also the deal that the owner of Wolfsburg said, is it really as he guessed behind the matter?

"I'm sorry, I can't help much......"

Noeva asked the waiter for a cup and poured herself a glass.

"I want to try this sometimes, especially when I'm in a bad mood. By the way, a lot of things happened in the Magic Guild during your absence, you know? Master Swided, I went to a few aristocratic evenings after that, and a lot of people were discussing it, and what they said was like seeing it with their own eyes, it was even more terrifying than reality, but luckily I wasn't there at the time. ”
