Miranda Joy immediately stood up and said, "Father, the horses and other livestock from the households where people mysteriously disappeared are still alive. I thought there might be something special about them, so I had them isolated in one place. But we couldn't find anything useful, so I didn't mention it to you before."
After she finished speaking, Dean Bruce let out a cold chuckle, while Prani Joy remained calm and said, "Then, once the banquet is over, you can take Elder Dean to inspect them. Perhaps you'll discover something that was previously overlooked."
"Understood," Miranda Joy replied with a smile. She raised her wine glass and respectfully addressed Dean Bruce, "Elder, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you with this investigation. Please allow me to offer you a toast in gratitude and hope you'll accept."
