Her identity is not simple.
Subconsciously, Xia Lan came to this judgment, because it was difficult for ordinary people to afford such expensive satin clothes.
And the most important question is how the other party reacts when it hijacks itself.
Except for the brief panic at the beginning, the other party actually immediately recognized the shape and calmed down, and even boldly bargained with Guรฒ's speculation about his purpose, which made Xia Lan unable to believe that ordinary people could do this.
Perhaps it is very likely that the other party is an important relative of Viscount Farrant.
Never underestimate a qualified noble child, a good and excellent education and rich knowledge and experience are enough to make them mature to face the benefits and disadvantages of different situations.
The footsteps gently circled around the complex and intertwined deep corridors, and the faint candlelight on the wall corridor stretched the figures of the two, and occasionally when she noticed the traces of the patrol attendants, Xia Lan would hold the girl hostage and quietly dodge.
The girl is a smart person, so she never makes any vain attempts to call for help and resist.
When they ascended a long spiral staircase, their vision suddenly opened up, and the gorgeous magic lights on the porch illuminated the wide, straight road in front of them, and there was a door in front of it, a closed wooden gate.
"This is Viscount Farrant's study?"
Xia Lan paid attention to the girl beside her, and at the same time exuded a sense of vigilance against the dark whistles that might be hidden around her.
"Yes."
The girl secretly glanced at Xia Lan and said cautiously.
"The door is locked?"
Xia Lan came to the study and held the doorknob and gently pulled it, but found that the door did not move, he turned to look at the girl, and muttered, "You say, if I forcibly open this door, will something interesting happen?" โ
The figure of the girl who was stared at by Xia Lan's deep eyes was stunned, her hands unconsciously tugged at the lace edge of the satin pajamas, her head hung slightly, and after a long time, she said: "If you forcibly open this door, the alarm placed in it will sound throughout Graudi Castle. โ
"Maybe you know how to open this door?"
Xia Lan said calmly.
"I know." The girl raised her head, looked at the man in front of her bravely, and said, "And I know every trap secretly arranged in the study. โ
Xia Lan looked at the girl carefully with some surprise, she didn't expect her to sue him so honestly.
Is it to prevent him from killing people in advance?
No, she just made the right choice.
If he forcibly opened the door of the study and set off an alarm, then the girl would definitely not be able to escape death, and now her life and safety are in his hands at all times, I am afraid that she is the last one who wants an accident at this time, but doesn't she know that she can't escape death after being used? Or is it? Is she already fully sure of escaping?
But what if she escapes? Now Xia Lan has changed his appearance through "Disguise", so he is not worried about the exposure of his identity at all.
"It's up to you, and I know you're not going to let me down."
Letting go of the body, Xia Lan looked at the girl with some surprise and said.
The girl walked to the study without fear, she suddenly squatted down, her little hand gently pry up a loose stone brick on the ground, and in a short time a copper-yellow key appeared in her hand.
Inserted into the keyhole, twisted, and there was a "click", and the girl gently pulled the doorknob downward, and the door of the study opened with a creaking sound in an instant.
"This is only the first layer of security, and don't turn on any lights in the room once you enter the door."
The girl pushed open the door and whispered to Xia Lan behind her.
After entering the dark study with the other party, Xia Lan's fingers flashed, and a horseshoe lamp that emitted a soft light suddenly dispelled the darkness.
"Huh-" The sudden light made the girl look at the lamp that appeared inexplicably in the other party's hand in surprise and said, "It turns out that you have been prepared." โ
"Don't move around in the room, especially don't step on that carpet."
After seeing the other party carrying a horseshoe lamp shining around and preparing to walk around, the girl hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
Hearing the girl's words, Xia Lan saw clearly the delicate and beautiful plush carpet on the ground not far away by the light, and did not expect that there would be so many hidden traps in a small study, I don't know whether to say lucky or not, if he hadn't met the girl in front of him, I'm afraid that at this time, he would have already triggered many alarms to make tonight's action fall short.
"Can the trap in the room be lifted?"
Glancing at the two rows of tall bookshelves erected by the wall, Xia Lan asked.
"I don't know."
The girl lowered her head slightly, making it difficult to see her face.
"You don't know?"
"Yes, because Viscount Farrant has never told anyone how to lift the trap in the study." The girl said.
"But you know all the pitfalls in the study." Xia Lan said lightly, the meaning of which is self-evident.
"Please don't get me wrong, sir, I just whispered from the maid who cleaned the study." The girl's voice explained with a little trepidation.
"Really?"
Xia Lan smiled intriguingly, and no longer dwelled on the subject, but shifted the topic to other places.
"What do I need to pay attention to if I need to consult the books on the shelves and the texts on the desk?"
"The books on the shelves and the texts on the desk can be flipped through at will, but please don't force open the locked desk cabinet." Seeing that the other party no longer asked, the girl seemed to be a little relieved.
"Don't you know the key to the bookcase?" Charland Road.
"The key to the bookcase has always been kept by Lord Viscount himself." The girl said.
"I see."
As he spoke, Xia Lan walked to the tall bookshelf by the wall, took down an old book and flipped through it at will, but he flipped through it very quickly, and after a while, he stuffed the book back in his hand, and then continued to take down another book, and so on.
"Your Excellency, may I ask you that you are only here for a hundred ~ ten thousand \ small! Say? โ
Seeing the other party's strange behavior, the girl couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Of course."
The girl categorically didn't believe Xia Lan's crisp answer, but she didn't expect the other party to tell her the truth.
While the man was flipping through the books, the girl quietly took a step and slid into a corner.
"I'd advise you not to take another step, or elseโ"
A cold voice suddenly penetrated the girl's ears, and as a result, her body suddenly stiffened.
"Heh... Hehe......"
The girl laughed dryly, but one hand was behind her back, not knowing what to fumble with.
"Your Excellency is really alert, but I think you're a little late."
When Xia Lan turned her head to look at the other party in an instant, there was no trace of the girl in the room! (To be continued.) )
