At this point, there was a sense of self-deprecation in Kassandra's tone.

But when you think about it, this seems to be a normal thing.

After that accident, she went from being a rising star of the Order to the "Bloodstained Princess of White Oak Castle".

Everyone wanted to know what was going on, but Kassandra clearly had no way to give that answer.

She talked and talked about what she saw, but it didn't satisfy people at all.

Because according to the later investigation, the house where Kassandra and the others went did not exist at all.

...... Yes, not demolished, but not at all.

All the inhabitants of the surrounding area swear that there are no such houses in that area.

Not to mention the huge basement inside the house, with its various forks and research facilities.

What's even more bizarre is that all the aid workers who were in White Oak Fort at the time gave clues to this knight team.

They all disappeared overnight, and all of them disappeared without seeing people alive or dead.

In other words, Kassandra became the sole survivor of that incident.

As the only survivor, he can't give some convincing answers.

For a while, rumors swirled, and the remarks against Kassandra swept from the inside out.

Some people say that she escaped by hiding in a ditch, which is a disgrace to the knight.

Some people say that she is delirious, and that those monsters are not human, but have been summoned by someone.

Others say that she is in the same league as the group of monsters that came out, and that they should be investigated.

In short, all kinds of eyes and condemnation befell Kassandra.

Even if Kassandra's father, Archduke Bangamoor, still believed in his daughter, his trust was clearly not enough to turn the tide.

In the end, Kassandra missed the rank test that year, and also lost her qualification to join the "Royal Guard Knights".

But even though things have reached such a desperate point, they are still not completely over.

"After a year, I found that dragon scales gradually grew on my body, and my mental state became worse and worse, and I even couldn't control myself sometimes."

Kassandra said as she reached out and stroked the bronze dragon scales on her right arm.

She knew that this was a sign that her body and mind were gradually collapsing.

It's unclear why she didn't turn into a monster with her companions that night.

But if it continues like this, one day it will inevitably follow in the footsteps of those companions and completely become a monster that has lost its mind.

"I didn't want everyone to see how ugly I became, so when I learned that I was going to choose the next sealer...... I volunteered to sign up."

Suddenly, Kassandra sighed and turned to look at the nun's dress hanging on the wall.

This nun dress, which is clean and neat, without any cut or change, also symbolizes her identity as a silent nun.

Originally, Kassandra had planned to die in this monastery and learn about herself before turning into a monster.

Who knew that what happened later completely dispelled her thoughts.

"I see...... It's a painful memory."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan sighed at first, but still couldn't help but ask curiously:

"But since you came in of your own free will to be a Silent Sister, why did you find a way to sneak away?"

If Ginger Ember remembers correctly, on the night they sat around the fire roasting marshmallows.

Kassandra once said she had a reason to leave.

Her expression at that time was very resolute, and there was even a sense of mission in her determination.

But this is obviously contrary to what Kassandra just described, and even created a strong conflict.

On this point, Kassandra was first

Subconsciously looked around, and then beckoned Jiang Ember to lean over.

What the? So mysterious, still have something to say?

However, when Ember took the initiative to lean over to the bed and let Kassandra speak in his ear.

The first words that came out of that mouth made his scalp tingle.

"I wanted to leave because I found out who was responsible for the White Oak Castle incident...... She is among the thirteen seats of the Night's Watch."

Miscellaneous...... What!

The moment he heard these words, Jiang Ember not only took a deep breath.

You know, what Kassandra is doing now is a very serious accusation.

According to her, the "White Oak Fort Massacre", which caused thousands of deaths and had a huge impact, was behind it.

It's actually one of the most *** parts of the dignified night watchman who is messing with ghosts!

In other words, the interior of the Night's Watch is not as clean as expected, and there is even such a demon lurking!

At the same time, Jiang Ember also remembered the previous kidnapping incident in the Pure Land outside the realm.

The eccentric woman with the black hood had made similar remarks.

"The whole world is qualified to say that about us, but the members of the Night's Watch are not."

The meaning behind these remarks coincides with Kassandra's accusations.

And those two strange black-robed men, like Kassandra, also have a non-human demonic state.

The same situation, the same statement, this has to make one wonder if there is really something wrong with the night watchman's interior.

So, Jiang Yan clenched his fists and asked in a serious tone:

"How did you find out? What about the proof?"

"Strictly speaking, there is no evidence...... I only reacted to the strange scent when I smelled it."

"Strange scent?"

"Well, didn't I just say that? When I went into the basement with my companions that night, we smelled a strange scent before we lost consciousness."

"Seems like that's the case, and then?"

"And then on the day I became the sealer...... I smell the same scent in the Night's Watch headquarters."

Kassandra narrowed her eyes slightly as she spoke, recalling the experience of that day.

All the unfortunate ones who are about to become sealers are to go to the Night's Watch headquarters once, where they receive the seal of the Oath Keeper.

It was in the dimly lit building that Kassandra once again smelled the same scent.

"The scent was very unique, like a perfume mixed with some carrion, and I'm sure I've only smelled the same smell twice in my life."

The only ones who could show up at the Night's Watch headquarters were the thirteen who sat in attendance.

In other words, the smell that Kassandra smelled came from one of the high-ranking members of the Night's Watch.

After that, Kassandra spent her days and nights in the monastery thinking about it, and she also summed up many doubts.

"In retrospect, the whole experience of that incident was very suspicious."

"Whether it's a false report at the beginning, or everything that follows that disappears without a trace."

"Even the follow-up investigation was terminated in a vague manner, and only some very perfunctory findings were given."

"The one that can do this in the Canglong Empire is definitely not an ordinary organization, it must be an existence that is enough to cover the sky with one hand...... Like the Night Watch."

There is no doubt that the Night's Watch is such an organization that can cover the sky in the cities of the five great powers.

If the mastermind behind this incident is defined as one of the thirteen seats, then everything makes sense.

But how to say it, Jiang Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"But that's not much proof, it's just the same scent, after all."

"I know...... That's why I didn't say anything when Lord Yemir came before, and it didn't make sense to say it."

Kassandra knew better than anyone else about her lack of evidence.

But she believes that no one in the world can do things seamlessly.

As long as we follow this line of thought, we will definitely be able to find the corresponding evidence.

Before that, of course, Kassandra had to get a chance to go out and investigate.

If she continues to be trapped in this monastery, then she will naturally not be able to do anything, and it is even more impossible for her to have actual evidence.

"Speaking of which, I do understand that you actually want to go out and investigate this case."

"Well, whether it's for me, for the sake of the knights who died as monsters, or for the sake of the people who were slaughtered that night, this case can't end here."

Kassandra's tone became extraordinarily firm at this moment, and even with a hint of mission in it.

For her, she really lost everything that night.

But Kassandra wasn't the only one who lost everything that night.

In the moonlit White Oak Castle, countless souls were buried.

The dead are gone, but the living are still alive.

Kassandra is the only person in the world who is still investigating the incident.

If even she gave up, the truth would be forever lost in the fog, never to see the light of day.

And the man behind the scenes who caused this huge tragedy can naturally enjoy the aura of glory forever.

No one would know that she had done such a cruel evil behind her back.

Of course, Jiang Shen still appreciates Kassandra's determination to continue the investigation and give everyone justice.

He nodded and smiled:

"Don't worry, you're no longer fighting alone from today onwards, I'll investigate with you."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but this incident is likely to be very involved, I will forget it, you don't need to put yourself in danger."

You know, the subject of this investigation even involves the high-level of the Night's Watch, which is no joke if it is discovered.

Kassandra thinks she has nothing to lose, but Ember is different, he still has a bright future.

However, just as Kassandra's words fell, Jiang Ember shook her head and said:

"You don't think you're going to die, and it doesn't matter if you're dead, right?"

"This ...... Isn't it?"

"Of course not, you still have me, there is Ellulu, there is Lannaser, there is Anjie, there is Yumi, if you die we will all be sad, so you must live well."

Ember said as he reached out and took Kassandra's hand.

Feeling the warmth coming from that hand, her mind, which was still tingling, seemed to become much calmer.

At that moment, Kassandra didn't know what to say.

She could only nod with tears in her eyes, and then showed an extraordinarily bright smile at Jiang Yan.

Ever since he entered this monastery, Jiang Shen had rarely seen a smile on this perfect face.

And this time, the smile was deeply imprinted in his heart.
