Faced with his sister's concern, Lumian shook his head:
"No."
He glanced left and right and said, "Let's talk about it when we go in."
When he arrived near the stove, he briefly mentioned his and Ryan's exploration process, and then told his sister that if Mrs. Pualis attacked them later, he would not hesitate to surrender and betray the three foreigners.
Based on what he encountered and saw in the castle, Lumian didn't think that the siblings could defeat Madame Pualis together, and they might not be able to deal with the "midwife".
After listening quietly, Aurore couldn't help but laugh:
"Rationally speaking, your countermeasures are indeed the best, but how can I feel weird, it's like becoming a villain in a novel, and it's not the main villain, the kind with charm."
"What matters is the result." Lumian emphasized to his sister, "According to your words, endure humiliation, bear heavy responsibilities, save useful bodies, and wait for the future to show value."
"......" Aurore couldn't help but raise her hand and put her forehead down, "Am I usually teaching you too many weird things?"
"Yes." Lumian nodded "sincerely".
Aurore rolled her eyes:
"Okay, I understand, I won't fight with Madame Pualis until the most critical moment.
"Just now Mrs. Pualis found that the alarm was triggered and wanted to leave, but I didn't forcibly stop her, I just showed reluctance and chatted with her for almost an extra minute.
"Well, tell me more about the details of your search."
She walked to the dining table and sat down, pretending to listen, while keeping an eye on her surroundings to guard against Madame Pualis coming to question her anger.
Lumian pulled out a chair on the other side of the dining table and talked about the harvest of exploration and the process of fighting in a complete manner.
Listening and listening, Auror's expression gradually became a little strange, more and more eccentric.
"What's wrong?" Lumian noticed his sister's abnormality.
Aurore pondered for a while, and asked rhetorically with that strange expression:
"There is a picture of a man in Mrs. Puaris's bedroom, and that man looks more like her, suspected to be her brother?"
"Well, those three foreigners said it might be a missing member of the Rockfall family, named Plitt." Lumian relayed Ryan and their words, including "Dantiism" and a large number of illegitimate children.
He finally added: "According to the investigation of the three foreigners, the Rockfall family clearly does not have Puaris."
Aurore nodded lightly and exhaled:
"Then I can basically be sure that my guess is correct."
The strange expression on her face did not subside, but became more obvious.
"What guess?" Lumian looked puzzled.
Aurore glanced at him and said:
"Perhaps, Mrs. Pualis is the missing Plitt."
"Huh?" Lumian was shocked, "They are a man and a woman...... Mrs. Pualis also gave birth to two children!"
"Who knows if she gave birth to her herself, or maybe it was born by the administrator?" Aurore sneered and retorted, "Even if it is really born by Madame Puaris, it doesn't explain anything, in the world of the occult, everything is possible, think about it, Louis. Lund A man can have a child, so it is not impossible for Pritt to become a woman."
"That's right, but ......" Lumian was still a little unacceptable.
Aurore showed a mocking smile:
"The reason why I dare to guess, and those three foreigners don't have similar inspiration, is because I have heard, no, witnessed something.
"Do you remember which is the adjacent path of the 'hunter'?"
"'Assassin.'" Lumian replied without hesitation.
He was also moved by this name, which was obviously better than "hunter".
"In our organization, uh, in the Curly Baboon Research Society, there is a man who likes to be an 'assassin' and chose this path." Aurore said with a strange expression, "Later, at a party, he told us with a gloomy and troubled look on his face that the 'assassin' had reached sequence 7, and the magic potion that needed to be taken was called 'witch'."
"'Witch'?" As soon as Lumian heard the name of the potion, he had a premonition of what would happen next.
"Yes, 'witch', in the occult world, 'wizard' and 'witch' are two completely different concepts. Aurore took the opportunity to educate, "Obviously, drinking the 'witch' magic potion will turn you into a witch, and when you play a witch, your body will completely transform into a woman."
Hoarse...... Lumian took a soft breath, glad that the first material he obtained was the "Hunter" extraordinary trait.
If he got something related to "assassin", with his mentality of being so eager that he didn't want to make a choice at the time, there was a high probability that he had already embarked on that road of no return.
"Later, did the one drink it?" He couldn't help but ask.
Aurore replied with a smile:
"He was embarrassed for a long time, neither wanting to become a woman nor staying in sequence 8 until someone persuaded him, 'Life is short, why not give it a try?'
"At a party later, I met him again, no, it was already her, a very beautiful and attractive woman."
"......" Lumian was speechless for a while.
Aurore looked at him with a smile and said:
"In the future, when you reach sequence 5, if you can't get the sequence 4 materials of the 'Hunter' path, you can consider sequence 4 of the 'witch' path, yes, the 'assassin' path is also called the 'witch' path......"
She looked like she was watching the excitement and didn't think things were getting bigger.
"Witch"...... Lumian deeply felt that the name "Assassin" was really confusing.
The occult world is in danger!
He hurriedly brought the topic back on track:
"From this point of view, Mrs. Pualis could really be the playboy Pritt."
Even "assassins" can become "witches", and a way for men to have children is likely to turn men into women.
Aurore nodded and looked out the window vigilantly:
"I suspect that Mrs. Pualis also became a woman in a certain sequence, and had to say goodbye to the family in a way that disappeared, so as not to be officially discovered as abnormal, well, according to the mysterious lady, the power of the divine gift can also be divided by sequence.
"Her abnormal path should also include promoting fertility, using life, and controlling the power of the undead."
"Using life to control the undead" was inferred from the battle between Lumian and others and the "midwife".
This is also consistent with the performance of the "Night Lady" in the other world being followed by many undead, and the one who looks very much like Mrs. Puaris.
Speaking of this, Aurore suddenly "uh".
"What's wrong?" Lumian asked carefully.
Sister won't think of any scary truth, will she?
Aurore frowned and looked at his brother and said:
"During afternoon tea, Mrs. Pualis suddenly said that love is difficult to figure out, obviously because he made a mistake and hoped that he would die, but when he really faced death, he couldn't help but save him and refused to tell the other party.
"I was very puzzled at the time, but I didn't care too much, now that I think about it, did she have a hidden meaning and said this on purpose?"
Lumian was also puzzled:
"She saves people, when did she save people......"
Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Aurore.
The siblings also remembered that in the other world, the "Night Lady" took away the undead and indirectly saved them.
"But that was the last cycle......" Lumian just wanted to deny it, but he couldn't continue.
He and Aurore looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were filled with shock and fear.
If Madame Pualis was referring to that thing, it meant that she could keep her memory in the loop, at least part of it!
"No......" Aurore whispered to herself, "Forget it, take it as true first, and I'd rather think the enemy is powerful than careless."
Lumian agreed, and then thought of something:
"Aurore, uh, sister, combined with the fact that Mrs. Pualis was originally a man, is the person she fell in love with?"
"I didn't do anything wrong, obviously you spied on Louis. Lund gave birth to a child, and you are the one Pualis loves." Aurore retorted in stress.
Lumian said subconsciously:
"Maybe she thinks I was instructed by you.
"I usually don't have much contact with her, so I took someone to break into her affair with the priest of the parish and was teased by her, and you discuss literary works and popular trends with her from time to time, and occasionally go to her house to borrow a pony to ride."
"Hey......" Aurore's tone rose, showing a disgusted expression, "Then she also introduced me to a marriage partner? Didn't you say that they are not very good, or even very bad?"
Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe she wants to use this method to destroy your interest in men, and then slowly lure you to ......"
"What strange things do you usually see?" Aurore glared at her brother angrily.
Lumian is not only straight, but also strong:
"Your novel.
"You wrote a similar scene in a novel."
"Really......" Aurore fell into deep thought.
After a while, she looked out the window and said:
"It's been so long, Madame Pualis hasn't come to trouble us, and the cycle hasn't been restarted......"
"Maybe she doesn't want to kill those three foreigners, this kind of officially sent investigator, once really killed, maybe more trouble will come." Lumian started guessing, "And she didn't know that I was involved, so she didn't suspect you."
The witness was dead, and no one else saw him.
Aurore nodded invisibly and laughed at himself:
"I'm not in the mood to prepare dinner."
Lumian suddenly had an idea:
"Why don't I go to the castle to take a look?"
"Did the criminal return to the scene?" Aurore laughed.
Lumian nodded:
"I'll go see what's going on at the castle, Madame Pualis shouldn't have doubted me anyway.
"Ah, by the way, I haven't picked tulips yet, so I just used the excuse that you want to make perfume to ask them for a few."
On the surface, Aurore and Madame Pualis are friends, and Lumian has no problem doing so.
Aurore thought for a few seconds and said:
"You can try, but wait a little longer, I can't fully confirm that Mrs. Pualis won't come to trouble yet.
"Well, if you don't come back within half an hour, I'll go to the edge of the village to trigger the loop and restart it directly."
"Okay." Lumian agreed.
…………
When he arrived at the administrator's castle again, the sun had already reached behind the mountains, and the sky was full of red clouds.
Lumian walked through the garden and came outside the open main door, and said to the male servants who were guarding there:
"My sister Aurore is going to make a fragrance, I wonder if I can borrow a few tulips from Madame Puaris?"
The male servant in a red top and white trousers replied without any abnormality:
"I'll go ask the lady."
He quickly turned into the castle and came out after a while:
"Madam said, you can just go to the garden to pick it."
You really don't doubt me? Moreover, it was as if nothing had happened...... Lumian didn't try to enter the castle, but went into the garden to look for tulips.
When he saw the flowers, he also found a maid next to him building the branches of the flower tree in the shadows.
On the way to pass by, Lumian casually glanced at the maid.
Suddenly, his gaze froze.
The maid was in her forties, with brown hair and brown eyes, a beautiful face, no wrinkles, just like the "midwife" who fought with Valentine and others and was finally completely killed by Ryan!
At this moment, she was standing alive next to Lumian, her face seemed to be dyed with a shadow by flowers and trees.
