Chapter 67 Third Floor (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The administrator's residence was originally a castle of the aristocrats of Dalliege, everything was defense-oriented, the windows were all open at the top, narrow and small, even during the day, the lighting was very bad, and later when it was renovated, in order to be livable, the owner specially made a lot of new glass windows on the ground floor.
Through a glass decorated with patterns, Lumian looked inside and saw that the hall used for banquets was empty and very deserted.
"Servants really rarely ......," Leah sighed softly.
Because it was daytime, many windows were open, allowing fresh air mixed with floral fragrance to flow inside, which created extremely good conditions for Lumian and the others to infiltrate.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no servants on the first floor, the four of them climbed into the hall one after another, but they were not in a hurry to go deeper, and found a nearby hidden location to hide.
Leah turned her head to the side and said to Valentine, who was stuck behind a decorative pillar:
"I'll explore the way first and get ready."
"Hmm." Valentine nodded coldly.
Lumian was squatting behind a stone platform with a porcelain vase, and when he heard this, he stuck out his head and reminded:
"You don't need to explore the first floor.
"There is nothing unusual about entertaining guests here."
Since the magistrate Beost and Madame Pualis moved in, his sister Aurore has occasionally visited the castle or borrowed ponies, and on several occasions he took the opportunity to follow them, rubbing a lot of cakes, breads and drinks.
When the administrator and Madame Pualis went out, he occasionally came to find the housekeeper Louis. Lund, accompanied by the other party, visited the first floor.
"I'll go straight to the staircase." Leah understood.
Instead of trying to walk in a straight line through the empty banquet hall, she pressed against the wall and circled towards the staircase.
The four small silver bells magically didn't make a sound.
As she passed one of the rooms, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from a place very close to the door.
Lumian was in the right position and could even see a male servant wearing a red shirt and white trousers appear at the door, about to meet Leah, and there is no cover around!
Lia was unhurried, turned around, held her hand on the wall, and climbed onto the oil painting hanging two meters high.
She immediately stood on tiptoe, stepped on the border, and stood firmly with her back against the wall without taking down the oil painting.
Lumian wanted to applaud because it reminded him of the circus acrobatic performance he had seen in Daliège last year.
The male servant left the room, instinctively glanced left and right, and walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as he took a few steps forward, Liya immediately pasted the oil painting and slid to the ground silently.
Then, the woman rolled two times in a row and hid behind a pillar.
After the male servant disappeared into the banquet hall, she leaned against the wall again.
Finally, she arrived at the staircase and confirmed that there was no problem.
Seeing this, Lumian flashed out of the stone platform and ran over in a straight line.
He was very fast, but in just two or three seconds, he rushed to Lia's side.
However, he was not the fastest, and Ryan completed this "journey" in just one breath.
Valentine is not slow, and his physical fitness is obviously stronger than that of ordinary people.
Without saying much, Liya took the lead, and the four of them distanced themselves, entered the stairs back and forth, and came to the second floor of the house.
The corridors here are lined with closed doors, with only one window at the bottom allowing sunlight to shine in, making the overall environment extremely dark.
Ryan glanced left and right and said:
"We search different rooms separately, which can save time and make it easier to hide, but we must not be more than one room apart from each other, so as not to have time to rescue in case of an accident."
Liya and the others nodded to show their understanding.
Lumian immediately approached the nearby room, first pressed his ear to the door, listened to see if there was any movement inside, and then twisted the handle and flashed in lightly.
This is a maid's room.
He rummaged through for a while, but found no clues, so he could only go to the next room.
In this way, the four of them avoided the servants from time to time and explored most of the second floor.
Towards the end of this round of searches, Lumian came to the door of the room that left him with a psychological shadow.
Louis. Lund's bedroom!
According to the course of "history", this housekeeper should have given birth yesterday.
"His stomach was torn open, even if he had sutures, he would not recover in a short time, and he must be lying in bed recuperating now......" Lumian muttered silently, thinking about whether to push the door in and find Louis. Lund "Let's talk".
As a first-hand witness of strange incidents, this male housekeeper must know a lot of situations.
But in this way, it violates their predetermined principle of only observing and exploring, and not touching abnormal searches, after all, Lumian cannot guarantee that Louis. Lund will not tell Madame Pualis about his infiltration into the castle.
He has given birth to children for each other, what else can be kept secret?
As for silence, it is equivalent to directly telling Madame Pualis that "something is wrong".
"It's a pity, if only I knew what hypnosis was......" Lumian sighed silently, habitually pressing his ear to the door, listening to the movement inside.
There was no movement inside.
And with the "hunter's" concentrating on their hearing, even if they are two or three meters away from the door panel, it is impossible not to hear the sound of breathing.
"No one? Louis. Lund just gave birth, where will he go?" Lumian tried to twist the handle, pushed the door open a crack, and secretly looked inside.
The room was quite clean, there was no blood stains in his memory, and of course, there was no Louis. Lund is a person.
Lumian frowned slightly, pushed the door ajar, and walked in.
He could see that there were traces of human sleep in this bedroom, whether it was the quilt laid out, the cigarette butts on the bedside, the black coat hanging on the chair, or the faint invisible footprints on the ground, all of which showed that Louis. Lund was also active here not long ago.
In addition to these, Lumian also saw some blood stains on the edge of the bed that had not been wiped off.
"I did give birth yesterday......" Lumian nodded and muttered to himself in his heart.
At this time, he heard a faint voice coming from outside the window.
He hurriedly walked to the glass window, turned sideways, and looked outside.
At the stable, the black-haired and blue-eyed Louis. Lund was wearing a white shirt inside, a black formal suit, dark trousers and leather shoes, and as he walked, he was communicating with Xavier, the coachman who sent the siblings to the other side of the world in the last cycle.
His face was quite rosy, and his walking posture was calm and powerful, which made Lumian stunned.
Is this the person who only gave birth to a child yesterday?
And it's a caesarean section!
Lumian held back the horror in his heart and listened carefully to Louis. What Lund and Sewell were talking about.
Who knows, these two guys are just exchanging experience in weeding and planting flowers.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lumian was slow to come out, Ryan with a dark bowler hat also pushed the door open and entered the room, followed by Leah and Valentine.
Lumian hurriedly suppressed his voice and put Louis. Lund's performance told the three foreigners.
After listening carefully, Lane thought for a moment and said:
"Do you know the 'Earth Mother Goddess'?"
The Darige region borders the Kingdom of Fenneport, and shepherds often transfer there, coupled with his sister's basic education, Lumian is no stranger to this:
"I know, the gods of faith over there in Feneport."
Ryan nodded and said:
"That deity is in charge of fertility, and correspondingly, there are areas such as healing and life, which is also reflected in the extraordinary abilities of the corresponding pathways.
"I'm not saying that things here are related to the 'Earth Mother Goddess', but to tell you that fertility, healing, and life are often linked, since Louis. If Lund can have a child, then it is understandable that he will recover in just one day."
"That's right......" Lumian thought about it and felt normal.
Men can have children, so what's so strange about being alive and running around a day after a caesarean section?
"Is there anything to gain?" He asked Lane and the others.
Ryan shook his head:
"It's all a normal servant's room."
"It seems that I got the third floor." Lumian was inexplicably heavy.
On the third floor there are the bedrooms of Madame Pualis and Administrator Beosst, a study, a sun room and a living room, and so on.
And that means great risk.
"Okay." Ryan did not hesitate.
Soon, the four of them sneaked into the third floor.
The doors of many rooms here are open, and the corridors are much brighter.
Lumian went straight to the topic and stepped into the bedroom of Madame Pualis and Administrator Beoster.
There is a bed with a light velvet quilt, a small bookshelf with bedtime readings, a very spacious cloakroom with all kinds of clothes, a safe for valuable collections, a set of soft and comfortable off-white sofas, a table with five photo frames and documents and books, and a plush white carpet all over the house......
Lumian and the others looked around and chose the table at the same time.
The books there are common popular novels, including Folsi. Wall's masterpiece "The Great Adventurer 5: Lieutenant General of Disease" and Aurore's latest work "Stand-in Detective", the documents are mainly various affairs issued in the Dalliege area, and the five photos in the frame, four of which belong to Madame Puaris, one belongs to a man that Lumian does not know.
"No administrator?" He whispered in surprise.
In all four photos of Madame Puaris, she was alone, dressed in different costumes and posing in different poses, and the only male photo was not that of Administrator Beoster.
You know, he is the male owner of this family, which is too strange, right?
Liya nodded thoughtfully:
"The position of the administrator in this family may be similar to that of the housekeeper.
"Have you ever seen a photo of someone putting a housekeeper?"
"Then who is this man?" Lumian looked at the frame at the far end.
In the frame is a color photo, the man looks twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a red shirt, a black velvet jacket and dark trousers with fringes on the trousers, and a pair of boots with laces, dressed very stylishly.
His facial features were a bit similar to those of Madame Puaris, his eyebrows were slightly sparse, his brown eyes were bright and smiling, his brown hair was more exaggerated, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, like the kind of person who often went in and out of high society and had a bit of a ruffian temperament.
Overall, this male facial features are not outstanding, but they are pleasing to the eye.
"Madame Puaris's brother or brother?" Lumian started to guess from the appearance.
