Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 43: Cursed Secret Treasure

Views:

Outside the city, the road was flat and winding, and at the end was the vague open sea level. Ken Ken then realized that he had walked through the wrong city gate. The sea was to the east of this small town.

The ship owner saw that those items were probably priceless antiques, so he bought the goods at a very low price and brought them back to the ship. They soaked them in water and then soaked them in scented oil, and finally all the dirt attached to the items fell off, revealing their original appearance.

Ken Ken said seriously: "We are just passing by."

Rosemary blinked, "Well, I'm going to visit Earl Dunlun soon. Do you want to stop by?" She leaned close to the hesitant Ken Ken and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, it won't delay you from going to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

There is a large lawn between the big iron gate and the first stone building. The shrubs are neatly trimmed, simple and solemn. The layout here is not so much like a school building, but more like a monastery. The walls are carved with reliefs of gods and some mythological scenes.

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

Rosemary asked: "Your ship has always been used to transport wine and food. Why is there a batch of antiques like that?"

A middle-aged woman in a blue-gray dress walked towards them quickly. Her steps were steady, her back was straight, her rust-colored hair was tied up behind her head, her square face showed competence and neatness, and her blue-gray eyes looked sharply at Grantina.

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

The old principal smiled. "It seems that you have indeed studied the history of our school. Yes, this place was a monastery more than 800 years ago, where some ascetic monks lived. Unfortunately, during the Twilight War, they all died in the battle against the demons. After that, this place has been renovated several times. Now only the mausoleum area behind the school remains in its original appearance." She closed the certificate and handed it back to Grantina. "So, Mr. Gran, which course are you more interested in teaching?"

"Miss Rosemary, you see, my father and I are both honest people. How could we be so bold as to steal the antiques and kidnap the Countess? We are really wronged!"

It was after the rainy season, when fish were at their juiciest, and the boat owner and his son were planning to buy some dada fish. They met a young man selling strange utensils and small statues at the fish market. The young man said that these were fished up from the sea by his family when they were fishing.

Mrs. Kans frowned and looked at Hilna behind him: "Who is this to you, Mr. Gran? She doesn't seem to be human."

Outside the city, the road was flat and winding, and at the end was the vague open sea level. Ken Ken then realized that he had walked through the wrong city gate. The sea was to the east of this small town.

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

There were several large ships moored at the beach, and the dock was bustling with people. Nilu shouted again: "Isn't that the woman named Rosemary over there yesterday?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs was a little hesitant: "Principal, there has never been a precedent of a male teacher being a tutor for a female class..."

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

Her head began to ache again, and Mrs. Cance asked kindly, "By the way, little girl, what's your name?"

A group of people gathered beside a large ship. Among them, a tall woman in black with long wavy hair was particularly eye-catching. It was indeed Rosemary.

Mrs. Kans frowned and looked at Hilna behind him: "Who is this to you, Mr. Gran? She doesn't seem to be human."

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

Grandina pushed the spear away. "She is a dwarf, sir. I believe you have patronized the businesses of her kind many times, and you should know that they are more gentle and harmless than humans."

The principal looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and said, "I remember that the literature tutor of Qiwei's class has always been the tutor of Moduo's class. Let's let Teacher Gran go to Qiwei's class temporarily."

Rosemary looked at them, smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal. A middle-aged man led a few people dressed as boatmen and said something to her with a sad face.

There is a pot of cactus on the windowsill, and there should be a pot of strawberries... It has already produced fruits... In addition, there is...

"Miss Rosemary, you see, my father and I are both honest people. How could we be so bold as to steal the antiques and kidnap the Countess? We are really wronged!"

Her head began to ache again, and Mrs. Cance asked kindly, "By the way, little girl, what's your name?"

Grantina smiled politely: "Then, can I talk to the person in charge? I once studied in the seminary in Leighton for a period of time, and this is my certificate of completion." He took out a certificate with a blue-black velvet cover from his arms, on which was embroidered a pattern of the moon and stars with silver thread.

Many nobles were their clients, providing them with fine wines brewed and crops produced in their own estates, and then purchasing luxury items from them shipped from the other side of the sea.

Hilna stood blankly at the door of the room.

It was after the rainy season, when fish were at their juiciest, and the boat owner and his son were planning to buy some dada fish. They met a young man selling strange utensils and small statues at the fish market. The young man said that these were fished up from the sea by his family when they were fishing.

Ken Ken and Ni Lu came forward curiously and heard the middle-aged man say bitterly: "…It was the Earl who took the initiative to buy it. We are really wronged!"

Walking down the corridor, Mrs. Kans said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have frightened you. A female student recently went missing from our school, and these soldiers are here to investigate."

There were several large ships moored at the beach, and the dock was bustling with people. Nilu shouted again: "Isn't that the woman named Rosemary over there yesterday?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

She was panicked by the urge to run away. She hugged her head, her memory was still blank, only the surging familiarity became stronger and stronger, and along with that familiarity, there was also an inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

An old man next to the middle-aged man said with a hunched back, "Yes, that batch of goods has been on our ship for a long time, and nothing strange has happened. How come once the Earl bought it... he insisted that the Earl's daughter's disappearance was due to our goods? This is totally unreasonable."

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

The Dean of Academic Affairs was still hesitant: "Then the dormitory..." The principal said: "Let Teacher Gran stay in Schaeffer's room temporarily."

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

An old man next to the middle-aged man said with a hunched back, "Yes, that batch of goods has been on our ship for a long time, and nothing strange has happened.

Rosemary asked: "Your ship has always been used to transport wine and food. Why is there a batch of antiques like that?"

Mrs. Kans frowned and looked at Hilna behind him: "Who is this to you, Mr. Gran? She doesn't seem to be human."

Hilna hid behind Grantina and looked around.

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

Rosemary looked at them, smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal. A middle-aged man led a few people dressed as boatmen and said something to her with a sad face.

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

The sergeant touched the brim of his hat to Grantina and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We are just following orders. Please forgive us if we were offended." He waved his hand and led the soldiers back into the bushes.

The middle-aged man pulled a long face and said, "About a month ago, my father and I were delivering goods to Manida..."

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

Rosemary asked: "Your ship has always been used to transport wine and food. Why is there a batch of antiques like that?"

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it. "Montevigo Charity Boarding School, opened in the first year of Twilight, is now recruiting several teachers of literature, mathematics, and astronomy... I found this in the town's newspaper. Excuse me, can I still apply?"

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

The middle-aged man and the old man next to him are the owners of this large ship. They make a living by trafficking specialty wines and fruit foods from the Arkadan continent to the country on the other side of the sea all year round, and then transporting the specialty products from there here.

Grandina replied: "Literature or history."

This is where Grantina asked him to go.

A trace of gloom passed over Mrs. Kans's face. "The missing female student was recently confirmed to be the long-lost daughter of the noble Earl Dunlun."

The middle-aged man pulled a long face and said, "About a month ago, my father and I were delivering goods to Manida..."

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

Her head began to ache again, and Mrs. Cance asked kindly, "By the way, little girl, what's your name?"

Many nobles were their clients, providing them with fine wines brewed and crops produced in their own estates, and then purchasing luxury items from them shipped from the other side of the sea.

She was panicked by the urge to run away. She hugged her head, her memory was still blank, only the surging familiarity became stronger and stronger, and along with that familiarity, there was also an inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Mrs. Kans frowned and looked at Hilna behind him: "Who is this to you, Mr. Gran? She doesn't seem to be human."

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

"Hilna, my daughter..." Earl Deng Lun held his forehead in pain, "This is all my fault. If I had married her mother, I wouldn't have let them suffer for so many years, and I wouldn't have waited until Hilna was so old to find her, and I wouldn't have let her suddenly disappear..." He raised his bloodshot eyes, "In short, you must find her, and I'm willing to pay any reward!"

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

The Dean of Academic Affairs was still hesitant: "Then the dormitory..." The principal said: "Let Teacher Gran stay in Schaeffer's room temporarily."

More than two months ago, the ship owner and his son went out to Manida. All the goods were quickly sold out, and many new local specialties were also imported.

She is very familiar with this place.

The principal looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and said, "I remember that the literature tutor of Qiwei's class has always been the tutor of Moduo's class. Let's let Teacher Gran go to Qiwei's class temporarily."

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

It was after the rainy season, when fish were at their juiciest, and the boat owner and his son were planning to buy some dada fish. They met a young man selling strange utensils and small statues at the fish market. The young man said that these were fished up from the sea by his family when they were fishing.

This is where Grantina asked him to go.

"Hilna, my daughter..." Earl Deng Lun held his forehead in pain, "This is all my fault. If I had married her mother, I wouldn't have let them suffer for so many years, and I wouldn't have waited until Hilna was so old to find her, and I wouldn't have let her suddenly disappear..." He raised his bloodshot eyes, "In short, you must find her, and I'm willing to pay any reward!"

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

Grantina opened his arms and allowed several soldiers to search him. Two soldiers took his luggage and rummaged through it. An idle soldier poked Hillna with the butt of his spear: "What the hell is this?"

The ship owner saw that those items were probably priceless antiques, so he bought the goods at a very low price and brought them back to the ship. They soaked them in water and then soaked them in scented oil, and finally all the dirt attached to the items fell off, revealing their original appearance.

"Originally, when I confirmed her identity, I wanted to take her over immediately, but she wanted to stay until the end of this semester, and she said she had a dance competition she had been preparing for a long time to participate in... I had no choice but to send a bodyguard and a nanny over first, and the school also prepared a special dormitory for her. The nanny slept in the outer room, and there were bodyguards guarding the windows and doors, but Hilna disappeared in the night..."

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

Lijia was the first love of Count Dunlun, but because of her humble status, after the relationship was discovered, Lijia was expelled from the city by the Count's parents. More than a decade later, the Count saw a girl who looked very much like Lijia in a charity school, and found that the girl had a ring he had given to Lijia. After several verifications, he finally confirmed that the girl named Hilna was the daughter born to him by Lijia.

"It's stone carvings, stone bowls, stone plates, statues... unimaginably exquisite. It looks like something God used in hymns."

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

Grandina replied: "Literature or history."

Walking down the corridor, Mrs. Kans said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have frightened you. A female student recently went missing from our school, and these soldiers are here to investigate."

The Schaeffer room where Grandina stayed temporarily was quite special; it was a special suite near the rooms of the principal and senior school staff.

Grantina bowed and said, "If I say that I am dedicating myself to charity and education, the principal probably won't believe me. In fact, I came here to travel. I heard that this school was a monastery before the Twilight War, and I want to find the footprints left by my predecessors here."

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

It has nothing to do with me. I'm going to find Grandina.

The ship owner and his son were delighted and collected these items. They knew that keeping such valuable items would bring disaster, so they wanted to find a buyer to sell them as soon as possible.

"Hilna, my daughter..." Earl Deng Lun held his forehead in pain, "This is all my fault. If I had married her mother, I wouldn't have let them suffer for so many years, and I wouldn't have waited until Hilna was so old to find her, and I wouldn't have let her suddenly disappear..." He raised his bloodshot eyes, "In short, you must find her, and I'm willing to pay any reward!"

She is very familiar with this place.

Hilna followed Grantina across the lawn towards the gray-white stone building. Suddenly, a group of soldiers emerged from the bushes on both sides, holding spears, and blocked their way.

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

The words that were already at the back of Ken Ken's throat immediately fell into his stomach along with the pastries.

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

Grandina pushed the spear away. "She is a dwarf, sir. I believe you have patronized the businesses of her kind many times, and you should know that they are more gentle and harmless than humans."

The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Grantina. "Yes, this is the job advertisement our school posted a month ago, and we haven't recruited any teachers who meet the requirements yet. But something happened to our school recently, so we may not recruit any new teachers."

The ship owner saw that those items were probably priceless antiques, so he bought the goods at a very low price and brought them back to the ship. They soaked them in water and then soaked them in scented oil, and finally all the dirt attached to the items fell off, revealing their original appearance.

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

She was panicked by the urge to run away. She hugged her head, her memory was still blank, only the surging familiarity became stronger and stronger, and along with that familiarity, there was also an inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

Mrs. Kans turned around and said, "I know that people who come from seminaries have a habit of keeping some aliens around them, but there have never been non-humans in our school. Let the principal decide on this matter."

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

Grantina smiled politely: "Then, can I talk to the person in charge? I once studied in the seminary in Leighton for a period of time, and this is my certificate of completion." He took out a certificate with a blue-black velvet cover from his arms, on which was embroidered a pattern of the moon and stars with silver thread.

The old principal smiled. "It seems that you have indeed studied the history of our school. Yes, this place was a monastery more than 800 years ago, where some ascetic monks lived.

"So, Mr. Gran, which course are you more interested in teaching?"

A group of people gathered beside a large ship. Among them, a tall woman in black with long wavy hair was particularly eye-catching. It was indeed Rosemary.

Ken Ken said seriously: "We are just passing by."

"Originally, when I confirmed her identity, I wanted to take her over immediately, but she wanted to stay until the end of this semester, and she said she had a dance competition she had been preparing for a long time to participate in...

A trace of gloom passed over Mrs. Kans's face. "The missing female student was recently confirmed to be the long-lost daughter of the noble Earl Dunlun."

Rosemary smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be resolved smoothly."

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

Lijia was the first love of Count Dunlun, but because of her humble status, after the relationship was discovered, Lijia was expelled from the city by the Count's parents.

After several verifications, he finally confirmed that the girl named Hilna was the daughter born to him by Lijia.

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

She was panicked by the urge to run away. She hugged her head, her memory was still blank, only the surging familiarity became stronger and stronger, and along with that familiarity, there was also an inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

Rosemary blinked, "Well, I'm going to visit Earl Dunlun soon. Do you want to stop by?" She leaned close to the hesitant Ken Ken and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, it won't delay you from going to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

Grantina looked down at the lake and castle at the foot of the hill, and Hilna's hands involuntarily grasped his robe.

An old man next to the middle-aged man said with a hunched back, "Yes, that batch of goods has been on our ship for a long time, and nothing strange has happened. How come once the Earl bought it... he insisted that the Earl's daughter's disappearance was due to our goods? This is totally unreasonable."

A middle-aged woman in a blue-gray dress walked towards them quickly. Her steps were steady, her back was straight, her rust-colored hair was tied up behind her head, her square face showed competence and neatness, and her blue-gray eyes looked sharply at Grantina.

The old principal smiled. "It seems that you have indeed studied the history of our school. Yes, this place was a monastery more than 800 years ago, where some ascetic monks lived. Unfortunately, during the Twilight War, they all died in the battle against the demons. After that, this place has been renovated several times. Now only the mausoleum area behind the school remains in its original appearance." She closed the certificate and handed it back to Grantina. "So, Mr. Gran, which course are you more interested in teaching?"

There were several large ships moored at the beach, and the dock was bustling with people. Nilu shouted again: "Isn't that the woman named Rosemary over there yesterday?"

She is very familiar with this place.

Her head began to ache again, and Mrs. Cance asked kindly, "By the way, little girl, what's your name?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

She nodded and shook her head.

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

Ken Ken and Ni Lu came forward curiously and heard the middle-aged man say bitterly: "…It was the Earl who took the initiative to buy it. We are really wronged!"

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

Outside the city, the road was flat and winding, and at the end was the vague open sea level. Ken Ken then realized that he had walked through the wrong city gate. The sea was to the east of this small town.

The sergeant touched the brim of his hat to Grantina and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We are just following orders. Please forgive us if we were offended." He waved his hand and led the soldiers back into the bushes.

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

Rosemary asked: "Your ship has always been used to transport wine and food. Why is there a batch of antiques like that?"

She is very familiar with this place.

Grantina looked down at her with a complicated expression: "Do you remember this place?"

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

Grandina bent down and took Hilna's hand: "She is a dwarf, ma'am. For some reason, she is temporarily my follower. It shouldn't violate school rules, right?"

"Hilna, my daughter..." Earl Deng Lun held his forehead in pain, "This is all my fault. If I had married her mother, I wouldn't have let them suffer for so many years, and I wouldn't have waited until Hilna was so old to find her, and I wouldn't have let her suddenly disappear..." He raised his bloodshot eyes, "In short, you must find her, and I'm willing to pay any reward!"

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

Hilna hid behind Grantina and looked around.

Mrs. Kans was stunned. “The girl who lived in this room before had the same name as you. She was the missing girl.”

She nodded and shook her head.

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

"Hello, Mr. Dinagrand? I am Marian Kans, the academic director of this school. Please follow me to the principal's office to discuss in detail."

The words that were already at the back of Ken Ken's throat immediately fell into his stomach along with the pastries.

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it. "Montevigo Charity Boarding School, opened in the first year of Twilight, is now recruiting several teachers of literature, mathematics, and astronomy... I found this in the town's newspaper. Excuse me, can I still apply?"

It has nothing to do with me. I'm going to find Grandina.

Grantina took her outside the castle. The tall iron gate with carvings was tightly closed, and Grantina rang the doorbell.

The Schaeffer room where Grandina stayed temporarily was quite special; it was a special suite near the rooms of the principal and senior school staff.

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

The ship owner and his son were delighted and collected these items. They knew that keeping such valuable items would bring disaster, so they wanted to find a buyer to sell them as soon as possible.

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

The Dean of Academic Affairs was still hesitant: "Then the dormitory..." The principal said: "Let Teacher Gran stay in Schaeffer's room temporarily."

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

The ship owner and his son were delighted and collected these items. They knew that keeping such valuable items would bring disaster, so they wanted to find a buyer to sell them as soon as possible.

The sergeant touched the brim of his hat to Grantina and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We are just following orders. Please forgive us if we were offended." He waved his hand and led the soldiers back into the bushes.

A small window opened on the door, revealing the face of an old woman with a vicissitude. She asked hoarsely, "This is the Montevigo Charity School. What can I do for you?"

Walking down the corridor, Mrs. Kans said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have frightened you. A female student recently went missing from our school, and these soldiers are here to investigate."

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

Grantina looked down at the lake and castle at the foot of the hill, and Hilna's hands involuntarily grasped his robe.

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it. "Montevigo Charity Boarding School, opened in the first year of Twilight, is now recruiting several teachers of literature, mathematics, and astronomy... I found this in the town's newspaper. Excuse me, can I still apply?"

The Dean of Academic Affairs was still hesitant: "Then the dormitory..." The principal said: "Let Teacher Gran stay in Schaeffer's room temporarily."

The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Grantina. "Yes, this is the job advertisement our school posted a month ago, and we haven't recruited any teachers who meet the requirements yet. But something happened to our school recently, so we may not recruit any new teachers."

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

Grantina smiled politely: "Then, can I talk to the person in charge? I once studied in the seminary in Leighton for a period of time, and this is my certificate of completion." He took out a certificate with a blue-black velvet cover from his arms, on which was embroidered a pattern of the moon and stars with silver thread.

The middle-aged man pulled a long face and said, "About a month ago, my father and I were delivering goods to Manida..."

The old principal smiled. "It seems that you have indeed studied the history of our school. Yes, this place was a monastery more than 800 years ago, where some ascetic monks lived. Unfortunately, during the Twilight War, they all died in the battle against the demons. After that, this place has been renovated several times. Now only the mausoleum area behind the school remains in its original appearance." She closed the certificate and handed it back to Grantina. "So, Mr. Gran, which course are you more interested in teaching?"

There were several large ships moored at the beach, and the dock was bustling with people. Nilu shouted again: "Isn't that the woman named Rosemary over there yesterday?"

The principal looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and said, "I remember that the literature tutor of Qiwei's class has always been the tutor of Moduo's class. Let's let Teacher Gran go to Qiwei's class temporarily."

Hilna hid behind Grantina and looked around.

She nodded and shook her head.

Mrs. Kans said to them, "This is the new teacher who has been hired."

The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Grantina. "Yes, this is the job advertisement our school posted a month ago, and we haven't recruited any teachers who meet the requirements yet. But something happened to our school recently, so we may not recruit any new teachers."

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Ken Ken said seriously: "We are just passing by."

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

A middle-aged woman in a blue-gray dress walked towards them quickly. Her steps were steady, her back was straight, her rust-colored hair was tied up behind her head, her square face showed competence and neatness, and her blue-gray eyes looked sharply at Grantina.

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

The room has two bedrooms, a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom. Mrs. Kans explained that this was a special arrangement to take care of Grandina and a dwarf girl. She pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms and said, "I think the little girl is more suitable to live in this room. A girl also lived here before."

Hilna hid behind Grantina and looked around.

Mrs. Kans turned around and said, "I know that people who come from seminaries have a habit of keeping some aliens around them, but there have never been non-humans in our school. Let the principal decide on this matter."

A trace of gloom passed over Mrs. Kans's face. "The missing female student was recently confirmed to be the long-lost daughter of the noble Earl Dunlun."

Walking down the corridor, Mrs. Kans said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have frightened you. A female student recently went missing from our school, and these soldiers are here to investigate."

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

Hilna followed Grantina across the lawn towards the gray-white stone building. Suddenly, a group of soldiers emerged from the bushes on both sides, holding spears, and blocked their way.

More than two months ago, the ship owner and his son went out to Manida. All the goods were quickly sold out, and many new local specialties were also imported.

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it. "Montevigo Charity Boarding School, opened in the first year of Twilight, is now recruiting several teachers of literature, mathematics, and astronomy... I found this in the town's newspaper. Excuse me, can I still apply?"

"Miss Rosemary, you see, my father and I are both honest people. How could we be so bold as to steal the antiques and kidnap the Countess? We are really wronged!"

There is a large lawn between the big iron gate and the first stone building. The shrubs are neatly trimmed, simple and solemn. The layout here is not so much like a school building, but more like a monastery. The walls are carved with reliefs of gods and some mythological scenes.

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

Ken Ken said seriously: "We are just passing by."

A middle-aged woman in a blue-gray dress walked towards them quickly. Her steps were steady, her back was straight, her rust-colored hair was tied up behind her head, her square face showed competence and neatness, and her blue-gray eyes looked sharply at Grantina.

The Dean of Academic Affairs was a little hesitant: "Principal, there has never been a precedent of a male teacher being a tutor for a female class..."

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

A small window opened on the door, revealing the face of an old woman with a vicissitude. She asked hoarsely, "This is the Montevigo Charity School. What can I do for you?"

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

"Hello, Mr. Dinagrand? I am Marian Kans, the academic director of this school. Please follow me to the principal's office to discuss in detail."

This is where Grantina asked him to go.

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

The old principal smiled. "It seems that you have indeed studied the history of our school. Yes, this place was a monastery more than 800 years ago, where some ascetic monks lived. Unfortunately, during the Twilight War, they all died in the battle against the demons. After that, this place has been renovated several times.

There is a pot of cactus on the windowsill, and there should be a pot of strawberries... It has already produced fruits... In addition, there is...

Grantina bowed slightly: "Thank you, ma'am."

Hilna stood blankly at the door of the room.

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

Grantina looked down at her with a complicated expression: "Do you remember this place?"

The count took the cold towel from the servant and applied it to his forehead. "It's a black cat carved out of stone. Hilna liked it as soon as she saw it. I should have known that black cats are very evil animals. Those boat people must have colluded with the wizard and kidnapped my Hilna with foreign evil magic!"

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

Grandina replied: "Literature or history."

Mrs. Kans frowned and looked at Hilna behind him: "Who is this to you, Mr. Gran? She doesn't seem to be human."

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

Grandina bent down and took Hilna's hand: "She is a dwarf, ma'am. For some reason, she is temporarily my follower. It shouldn't violate school rules, right?"

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

An old man next to the middle-aged man said with a hunched back, "Yes, that batch of goods has been on our ship for a long time, and nothing strange has happened. How come once the Earl bought it... he insisted that the Earl's daughter's disappearance was due to our goods? This is totally unreasonable."

Hilna followed Grantina across the lawn towards the gray-white stone building. Suddenly, a group of soldiers emerged from the bushes on both sides, holding spears, and blocked their way.

Rosemary looked at them, smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal. A middle-aged man led a few people dressed as boatmen and said something to her with a sad face.

Rosemary looked at them, smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal. A middle-aged man led a few people dressed as boatmen and said something to her with a sad face.

Mrs. Kans said to them, "This is the new teacher who has been hired."

Grantina bowed and said, "If I say that I am dedicating myself to charity and education, the principal probably won't believe me. In fact, I came here to travel. I heard that this school was a monastery before the Twilight War, and I want to find the footprints left by my predecessors here."

Grantina opened his arms and allowed several soldiers to search him. Two soldiers took his luggage and rummaged through it. An idle soldier poked Hillna with the butt of his spear: "What the hell is this?"

Grantina looked toward the bushes. "Judging from their uniforms, they seem to be guards that only nobles of high status have the right to mobilize. Isn't Montevigo a charitable boarding school?"

She is very familiar with this place.

Hilna hid behind Grantina and looked around.

More than two months ago, the ship owner and his son went out to Manida. All the goods were quickly sold out, and many new local specialties were also imported.

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Rosemary blinked, "Well, I'm going to visit Earl Dunlun soon. Do you want to stop by?" She leaned close to the hesitant Ken Ken and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, it won't delay you from going to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Hilna followed Grantina across the lawn towards the gray-white stone building. Suddenly, a group of soldiers emerged from the bushes on both sides, holding spears, and blocked their way.

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it.

The Schaeffer room where Grandina stayed temporarily was quite special; it was a special suite near the rooms of the principal and senior school staff.

Grandina pushed the spear away. "She is a dwarf, sir. I believe you have patronized the businesses of her kind many times, and you should know that they are more gentle and harmless than humans."

A man in black whispered something in Rosemary's ear. Rosemary smiled at the owner and his son and said, "Okay, I know everything." She then looked at Ken Ken and Ni Lu, "What do you think about this?"

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

"Hello, Mr. Dinagrand? I am Marian Kans, the academic director of this school. Please follow me to the principal's office to discuss in detail."

The principal looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and said, "I remember that the literature tutor of Qiwei's class has always been the tutor of Moduo's class. Let's let Teacher Gran go to Qiwei's class temporarily."

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

A trace of gloom passed over Mrs. Kans's face. "The missing female student was recently confirmed to be the long-lost daughter of the noble Earl Dunlun."

It was after the rainy season, when fish were at their juiciest, and the boat owner and his son were planning to buy some dada fish. They met a young man selling strange utensils and small statues at the fish market. The young man said that these were fished up from the sea by his family when they were fishing.

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

"Hilna, my daughter..." Earl Deng Lun held his forehead in pain, "This is all my fault. If I had married her mother, I wouldn't have let them suffer for so many years, and I wouldn't have waited until Hilna was so old to find her, and I wouldn't have let her suddenly disappear..." He raised his bloodshot eyes, "In short, you must find her, and I'm willing to pay any reward!"

She was panicked by the urge to run away. She hugged her head, her memory was still blank, only the surging familiarity became stronger and stronger, and along with that familiarity, there was also an inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

Grandina pushed the spear away. "She is a dwarf, sir. I believe you have patronized the businesses of her kind many times, and you should know that they are more gentle and harmless than humans."

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

There were several large ships moored at the beach, and the dock was bustling with people. Nilu shouted again: "Isn't that the woman named Rosemary over there yesterday?"

Outside the city, the road was flat and winding, and at the end was the vague open sea level. Ken Ken then realized that he had walked through the wrong city gate. The sea was to the east of this small town.

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it. "Montevigo Charity Boarding School, opened in the first year of Twilight, is now recruiting several teachers of literature, mathematics, and astronomy... I found this in the town's newspaper.

Excuse me, can I still apply?"

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

Mrs. Kans turned around and said, "I know that people who come from seminaries have a habit of keeping some aliens around them, but there have never been non-humans in our school. Let the principal decide on this matter."

Lijia was the first love of Count Dunlun, but because of her humble status, after the relationship was discovered, Lijia was expelled from the city by the Count's parents. More than a decade later, the Count saw a girl who looked very much like Lijia in a charity school, and found that the girl had a ring he had given to Lijia. After several verifications, he finally confirmed that the girl named Hilna was the daughter born to him by Lijia.

Mrs. Kans turned around and said, "I know that people who come from seminaries have a habit of keeping some aliens around them, but there have never been non-humans in our school. Let the principal decide on this matter."

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

She pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms and said, "I think the little girl is more suitable to live in this room. A girl also lived here before."

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Grantina. "Yes, this is the job advertisement our school posted a month ago, and we haven't recruited any teachers who meet the requirements yet. But something happened to our school recently, so we may not recruit any new teachers."

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

"Originally, when I confirmed her identity, I wanted to take her over immediately, but she wanted to stay until the end of this semester, and she said she had a dance competition she had been preparing for a long time to participate in... I had no choice but to send a bodyguard and a nanny over first, and the school also prepared a special dormitory for her. The nanny slept in the outer room, and there were bodyguards guarding the windows and doors, but Hilna disappeared in the night..."

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

The Dean of Academic Affairs was a little hesitant: "Principal, there has never been a precedent of a male teacher being a tutor for a female class..."

Grantina opened his arms and allowed several soldiers to search him. Two soldiers took his luggage and rummaged through it. An idle soldier poked Hillna with the butt of his spear: "What the hell is this?"

Grandina pushed the spear away. "She is a dwarf, sir. I believe you have patronized the businesses of her kind many times, and you should know that they are more gentle and harmless than humans."

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

The count took the cold towel from the servant and applied it to his forehead. "It's a black cat carved out of stone. Hilna liked it as soon as she saw it. I should have known that black cats are very evil animals. Those boat people must have colluded with the wizard and kidnapped my Hilna with foreign evil magic!"

Grandina bent down and took Hilna's hand: "She is a dwarf, ma'am. For some reason, she is temporarily my follower. It shouldn't violate school rules, right?"

Grandina bent down and took Hilna's hand: "She is a dwarf, ma'am. For some reason, she is temporarily my follower. It shouldn't violate school rules, right?"

A middle-aged woman in a blue-gray dress walked towards them quickly. Her steps were steady, her back was straight, her rust-colored hair was tied up behind her head, her square face showed competence and neatness, and her blue-gray eyes looked sharply at Grantina.

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

An old man next to the middle-aged man said with a hunched back, "Yes, that batch of goods has been on our ship for a long time, and nothing strange has happened. How come once the Earl bought it... he insisted that the Earl's daughter's disappearance was due to our goods? This is totally unreasonable."

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

The Dean of Academic Affairs was a little hesitant: "Principal, there has never been a precedent of a male teacher being a tutor for a female class..."

"It's stone carvings, stone bowls, stone plates, statues... unimaginably exquisite. It looks like something God used in hymns."

She is very familiar with this place.

"It's stone carvings, stone bowls, stone plates, statues... unimaginably exquisite. It looks like something God used in hymns."

Ken Ken said seriously: "We are just passing by."

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

"Originally, when I confirmed her identity, I wanted to take her over immediately, but she wanted to stay until the end of this semester, and she said she had a dance competition she had been preparing for a long time to participate in... I had no choice but to send a bodyguard and a nanny over first, and the school also prepared a special dormitory for her. The nanny slept in the outer room, and there were bodyguards guarding the windows and doors, but Hilna disappeared in the night..."

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

"It's stone carvings, stone bowls, stone plates, statues... unimaginably exquisite. It looks like something God used in hymns."

Grandina replied: "Literature or history."

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

The count took the cold towel from the servant and applied it to his forehead. "It's a black cat carved out of stone. Hilna liked it as soon as she saw it. I should have known that black cats are very evil animals. Those boat people must have colluded with the wizard and kidnapped my Hilna with foreign evil magic!"

Grantina looked down at her with a complicated expression: "Do you remember this place?"

An old man next to the middle-aged man said with a hunched back, "Yes, that batch of goods has been on our ship for a long time, and nothing strange has happened. How come once the Earl bought it... he insisted that the Earl's daughter's disappearance was due to our goods? This is totally unreasonable."

Grantina smiled politely: "Then, can I talk to the person in charge? I once studied in the seminary in Leighton for a period of time, and this is my certificate of completion." He took out a certificate with a blue-black velvet cover from his arms, on which was embroidered a pattern of the moon and stars with silver thread.

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at Grantina. "Yes, this is the job advertisement our school posted a month ago, and we haven't recruited any teachers who meet the requirements yet. But something happened to our school recently, so we may not recruit any new teachers."

Mrs. Kans was stunned. “The girl who lived in this room before had the same name as you. She was the missing girl.”

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

The words that were already at the back of Ken Ken's throat immediately fell into his stomach along with the pastries.

Hilna hid behind Grantina and looked around.

Grantina bowed slightly: "Thank you, ma'am."

She is very familiar with this place.

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

Rosemary asked: "Your ship has always been used to transport wine and food. Why is there a batch of antiques like that?"

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

"Hello, Mr. Dinagrand? I am Marian Kans, the academic director of this school. Please follow me to the principal's office to discuss in detail."

"Hello, Mr. Dinagrand? I am Marian Kans, the academic director of this school. Please follow me to the principal's office to discuss in detail."

The ship owner saw that those items were probably priceless antiques, so he bought the goods at a very low price and brought them back to the ship. They soaked them in water and then soaked them in scented oil, and finally all the dirt attached to the items fell off, revealing their original appearance.

There were several large ships moored at the beach, and the dock was bustling with people. Nilu shouted again: "Isn't that the woman named Rosemary over there yesterday?"

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

It has nothing to do with me. I'm going to find Grandina.

Ken Ken said seriously: "We are just passing by."

The Schaeffer room where Grandina stayed temporarily was quite special; it was a special suite near the rooms of the principal and senior school staff.

Grantina looked down at the lake and castle at the foot of the hill, and Hilna's hands involuntarily grasped his robe.

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

They soaked them in water and then soaked them in scented oil, and finally all the dirt attached to the items fell off, revealing their original appearance.

The principal looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and said, "I remember that the literature tutor of Qiwei's class has always been the tutor of Moduo's class. Let's let Teacher Gran go to Qiwei's class temporarily."

Hilna stood blankly at the door of the room.

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

The sergeant touched the brim of his hat to Grantina and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We are just following orders. Please forgive us if we were offended." He waved his hand and led the soldiers back into the bushes.

Grantina took her outside the castle. The tall iron gate with carvings was tightly closed, and Grantina rang the doorbell.

The words that were already at the back of Ken Ken's throat immediately fell into his stomach along with the pastries.

Rosemary asked: "Your ship has always been used to transport wine and food. Why is there a batch of antiques like that?"

A trace of gloom passed over Mrs. Kans's face. "The missing female student was recently confirmed to be the long-lost daughter of the noble Earl Dunlun."

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

The room has two bedrooms, a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom. Mrs. Kans explained that this was a special arrangement to take care of Grandina and a dwarf girl. She pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms and said, "I think the little girl is more suitable to live in this room. A girl also lived here before."

This is where Grantina asked him to go.

Mrs. Kans was stunned. “The girl who lived in this room before had the same name as you. She was the missing girl.”

"You are actually from a seminary." Behind the desk, the gray-haired, thin old lady flipped through the certificate with a blue velvet cover. "Since our school was founded, we have never had someone as qualified as you to serve as a teacher. Why did you choose a small country school like ours?"

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

The sergeant touched the brim of his hat to Grantina and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We are just following orders. Please forgive us if we were offended." He waved his hand and led the soldiers back into the bushes.

Mrs. Kans turned around and said, "I know that people who come from seminaries have a habit of keeping some aliens around them, but there have never been non-humans in our school. Let the principal decide on this matter."

Rosemary smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be resolved smoothly."

Hilna followed Grantina across the lawn towards the gray-white stone building. Suddenly, a group of soldiers emerged from the bushes on both sides, holding spears, and blocked their way.

The middle-aged man pulled a long face and said, "About a month ago, my father and I were delivering goods to Manida..."

Grandina pushed the spear away. "She is a dwarf, sir. I believe you have patronized the businesses of her kind many times, and you should know that they are more gentle and harmless than humans."

"You are actually from a seminary." Behind the desk, the gray-haired, thin old lady flipped through the certificate with a blue velvet cover. "Since our school was founded, we have never had someone as qualified as you to serve as a teacher. Why did you choose a small country school like ours?"

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

She nodded and shook her head.

Lijia was the first love of Count Dunlun, but because of her humble status, after the relationship was discovered, Lijia was expelled from the city by the Count's parents. More than a decade later, the Count saw a girl who looked very much like Lijia in a charity school, and found that the girl had a ring he had given to Lijia. After several verifications, he finally confirmed that the girl named Hilna was the daughter born to him by Lijia.

Grantina looked down at the lake and castle at the foot of the hill, and Hilna's hands involuntarily grasped his robe.

Grantina bowed and said, "If I say that I am dedicating myself to charity and education, the principal probably won't believe me. In fact, I came here to travel. I heard that this school was a monastery before the Twilight War, and I want to find the footprints left by my predecessors here."

The lake is like a clear blue crystal, inlaid in the center of the rolling hills, and the gray-white castle stands beside the lake.

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Grantina looked toward the bushes. "Judging from their uniforms, they seem to be guards that only nobles of high status have the right to mobilize. Isn't Montevigo a charitable boarding school?"

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given that statue to Hilna... That day, she walked into this house for the first time, and she liked the cat very much, so I gave it to her..."

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

A middle-aged woman in a blue-gray dress walked towards them quickly. Her steps were steady, her back was straight, her rust-colored hair was tied up behind her head, her square face showed competence and neatness, and her blue-gray eyes looked sharply at Grantina.

The old principal smiled. "It seems that you have indeed studied the history of our school. Yes, this place was a monastery more than 800 years ago, where some ascetic monks lived. Unfortunately, during the Twilight War, they all died in the battle against the demons. After that, this place has been renovated several times. Now only the mausoleum area behind the school remains in its original appearance." She closed the certificate and handed it back to Grantina. "So, Mr. Gran, which course are you more interested in teaching?"

"Earl Deng Lun is our big customer, and he likes to collect antiques. My father asked me to show the earl a stone bowl first, and the earl was really interested and bought all those things. Who knew that not long after that, something bad happened."

"Hilna, my daughter..." Earl Deng Lun held his forehead in pain, "This is all my fault. If I had married her mother, I wouldn't have let them suffer for so many years, and I wouldn't have waited until Hilna was so old to find her, and I wouldn't have let her suddenly disappear..." He raised his bloodshot eyes, "In short, you must find her, and I'm willing to pay any reward!"

Mrs. Kans turned around and said, "I know that people who come from seminaries have a habit of keeping some aliens around them, but there have never been non-humans in our school. Let the principal decide on this matter."

Grandina replied: "Literature or history."

"You are actually from a seminary." Behind the desk, the gray-haired, thin old lady flipped through the certificate with a blue velvet cover. "Since our school was founded, we have never had someone as qualified as you to serve as a teacher. Why did you choose a small country school like ours?"

Rosemary blinked, "Well, I'm going to visit Earl Dunlun soon. Do you want to stop by?" She leaned close to the hesitant Ken Ken and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, it won't delay you from going to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

The middle-aged man pulled a long face and said, "About a month ago, my father and I were delivering goods to Manida..."

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

Rosemary blinked, "Well, I'm going to visit Earl Dunlun soon. Do you want to stop by?" She leaned close to the hesitant Ken Ken and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, it won't delay you from going to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Hello, Mr. Dinagrand? I am Marian Kans, the academic director of this school. Please follow me to the principal's office to discuss in detail."

The principal looked at the Dean of Academic Affairs and said, "I remember that the literature tutor of Qiwei's class has always been the tutor of Moduo's class. Let's let Teacher Gran go to Qiwei's class temporarily."

The Dean of Academic Affairs was still hesitant: "Then the dormitory..." The principal said: "Let Teacher Gran stay in Schaeffer's room temporarily."

Many nobles were their clients, providing them with fine wines brewed and crops produced in their own estates, and then purchasing luxury items from them shipped from the other side of the sea.

The Dean of Academic Affairs was a little hesitant: "Principal, there has never been a precedent of a male teacher being a tutor for a female class..."

The room has two bedrooms, a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom. Mrs. Kans explained that this was a special arrangement to take care of Grandina and a dwarf girl.

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

Hilna stood blankly at the door of the room.

She replied, "My name is Hilna."

There is a large lawn between the big iron gate and the first stone building. The shrubs are neatly trimmed, simple and solemn. The layout here is not so much like a school building, but more like a monastery. The walls are carved with reliefs of gods and some mythological scenes.

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

The Dean of Academic Affairs nodded and opened the door: "Then I will take Teacher Gran to familiarize himself with the teachers' dormitory and classroom first."

Before he could even open his mouth to distance himself from the matter, Rosemary had already unfolded a map and pointed to a circled location: "It's the Montevigo Charity School located here."

Grantina bowed slightly: "Thank you, ma'am."

The middle-aged man pulled a long face and said, "About a month ago, my father and I were delivering goods to Manida..."

The ship owner and his son were delighted and collected these items. They knew that keeping such valuable items would bring disaster, so they wanted to find a buyer to sell them as soon as possible.

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

"It's stone carvings, stone bowls, stone plates, statues... unimaginably exquisite. It looks like something God used in hymns."

Ken Ken and Ni Lu came forward curiously and heard the middle-aged man say bitterly: "…It was the Earl who took the initiative to buy it. We are really wronged!"

Grandina bent down and took Hilna's hand: "She is a dwarf, ma'am. For some reason, she is temporarily my follower. It shouldn't violate school rules, right?"

She is very familiar with this place.

Count Deng Lun immediately became emotional. "It can only be those evil things, otherwise there is no explanation! Why would a good person disappear in a heavily guarded room! It's all my fault.

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

The air was filled with a damp smell, and the waves lapping against the shore with a golden sheen. Nilu exclaimed noisily: "Is this the sea? This is the first time I've seen it! Wow! Are we going to take a boat to find your friend?"

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

The room has two bedrooms, a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom. Mrs. Kans explained that this was a special arrangement to take care of Grandina and a dwarf girl.

She replied, "My name is Hilna."

This is where Grantina asked him to go.

The sergeant touched the brim of his hat to Grantina and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We are just following orders. Please forgive us if we were offended." He waved his hand and led the soldiers back into the bushes.

A group of people gathered beside a large ship. Among them, a tall woman in black with long wavy hair was particularly eye-catching. It was indeed Rosemary.

Hilna stood blankly at the door of the room.

The room has two bedrooms, a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom. Mrs. Kans explained that this was a special arrangement to take care of Grandina and a dwarf girl. She pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms and said, "I think the little girl is more suitable to live in this room. A girl also lived here before."

The middle-aged man and the old man next to him are the owners of this large ship. They make a living by trafficking specialty wines and fruit foods from the Arkadan continent to the country on the other side of the sea all year round, and then transporting the specialty products from there here.

Hilna followed Grantina across the lawn towards the gray-white stone building. Suddenly, a group of soldiers emerged from the bushes on both sides, holding spears, and blocked their way.

The count took the cold towel from the servant and applied it to his forehead. "It's a black cat carved out of stone. Hilna liked it as soon as she saw it. I should have known that black cats are very evil animals. Those boat people must have colluded with the wizard and kidnapped my Hilna with foreign evil magic!"

"Then," Rosemary twirled the pen in her hand, "Why do you suspect that it has something to do with those antiques, Count?"

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand.

Ken Ken and Ni Lu came forward curiously and heard the middle-aged man say bitterly: "…It was the Earl who took the initiative to buy it. We are really wronged!"

Rosemary looked at them, smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal. A middle-aged man led a few people dressed as boatmen and said something to her with a sad face.

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

"Miss Rosemary, you see, my father and I are both honest people. How could we be so bold as to steal the antiques and kidnap the Countess? We are really wronged!"

The room has two bedrooms, a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom. Mrs. Kans explained that this was a special arrangement to take care of Grandina and a dwarf girl. She pushed open the door of one of the bedrooms and said, "I think the little girl is more suitable to live in this room. A girl also lived here before."

Rosemary said immediately, "Count, please trust our credibility. We have already made several plans on how to find the Countess. Can you tell us more about the disappearance of the Countess?"

There is a pot of cactus on the windowsill, and there should be a pot of strawberries... It has already produced fruits... In addition, there is...

Grandina smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm here to look for a job." He took out a folded newspaper and unfolded it. "Montevigo Charity Boarding School, opened in the first year of Twilight, is now recruiting several teachers of literature, mathematics, and astronomy... I found this in the town's newspaper. Excuse me, can I still apply?"

On the wooden bed with carved angel patterns, the neatly folded thin blanket was embroidered with blue forget-me-not patterns, and the edges of the pillowcases and sheets were bordered with powder blue lace. An exquisite wooden table was placed by the window. On top of the clock on the wall, a fluffy yellow baby bird pecked at the small bowl in front of it in the rhythm of the second hand. The bookshelf was full of books, and at the top was a half-finished watercolor painting.

Hilna huddled behind him, clutching his clothes.

The tightly closed door slowly opened a crack, and the old woman said in a hoarse voice: "Please come in, I will help you notify the principal."

Earl Deng Lun calmed down and said slowly, "It's like this. Some time ago, I donated some money to several schools. When I visited those schools, I found a little girl who looked very much like Li Jia."

Her head began to ache again, and Mrs. Cance asked kindly, "By the way, little girl, what's your name?"

Grantina bowed slightly: "Thank you, ma'am."

All classes at Montevideo School are named after gods, with separate classes for girls and boys, and strict separation of accommodation and activity areas, as well as dormitories for male and female teachers.

Rosemary raised an eyebrow, "Cat?"

"I see." Rosemary closed the notebook in her hand. "You have already sent guards to search the school, right? Unfortunately, it is difficult to find the truth with such a crude method. I plan to go to the school with the two people over there, and ask the Earl to help us arrange our identities."

Hilna stood blankly at the door of the room.

The leader, a non-commissioned officer, said in a gruff voice, “We need to check that, too!”

She replied, "My name is Hilna."

The principal smiled and said, "Mr. Glen is ordained, so we can make an exception."

But just when the count was about to take Hilna to his side, she suddenly disappeared.

All the antiques the Count bought disappeared, and his daughter also disappeared. The Count believed that this incident must be related to these antiques, and listed the ship owner and his son as suspects.

Mrs. Kans was stunned. “The girl who lived in this room before had the same name as you. She was the missing girl.”

The ship owner saw that those items were probably priceless antiques, so he bought the goods at a very low price and brought them back to the ship. They soaked them in water and then soaked them in scented oil, and finally all the dirt attached to the items fell off, revealing their original appearance.

This is where Grantina asked him to go.

Ken Ken, who had been enjoying the delicious pastries nearby, raised his head alertly. The two people over there are -

Rosemary blinked, "Well, I'm going to visit Earl Dunlun soon. Do you want to stop by?" She leaned close to the hesitant Ken Ken and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, it won't delay you from going to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Outside the city, the road was flat and winding, and at the end was the vague open sea level. Ken Ken then realized that he had walked through the wrong city gate. The sea was to the east of this small town.

The Schaeffer room where Grandina stayed temporarily was quite special; it was a special suite near the rooms of the principal and senior school staff.

"You are actually from a seminary." Behind the desk, the gray-haired, thin old lady flipped through the certificate with a blue velvet cover. "Since our school was founded, we have never had someone as qualified as you to serve as a teacher. Why did you choose a small country school like ours?"
