"Grant, are you there?"

After preparing the water balloon to condense the new character, Benjamin did not continue to practice magic and retreated from the space of consciousness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He returned to reality, pushed the door open, and walked out of his room. Soon, he came to the door of Grant's room and asked as he knocked on the door.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue practicing magic, it's just that he still has a promise to Michelle. Now was a good time, so he had to stop his steps on the magic path for a while and help Michelle find out how the treasure house was opened.

Fortunately, Michelle saved his life and lifted the curse, and he was not so ungrateful.

"Please come in. ”

In the room, Grant's voice soon came.

Benjamin heard this, turned the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.

To find out how the treasure trove was opened, Grant was definitely his go-to target. At least he's still a child, simple-minded, and easy to deceive.

He can't go to Claude and ask.

I saw Grant sitting at his desk, under the light of the oil lamp, holding a thick book in his hand, as if he was reading. Benjamin also felt a little embarrassed when he saw this scene.

Good work......

Before knocking on the door, he was still thinking about what if Grant was "playing" under the quilt again?

"Benjamin?"

Grant turned around and looked at Benjamin with a look of surprise and embarrassment. Obviously, Benjamin's surprise visit also brought him a lot of fright, and he was a little embarrassed to see Benjamin now.

"I borrowed a book from you when you weren't there. I just finished reading it today, so I'll give it back to you. Benjamin was prepared, he said.

As he spoke, he took out the "Encyclopedia of Plants of the Kingdom" that he borrowed from here last time.

Grant suddenly showed the same expression.

He took the book, put it on the table, and said, "It turns out that you took it, and I said that I couldn't find the book recently." When did you start reading books like this?"

"Boring, just take a look. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and put the matter on the side. Then, he suddenly changed the conversation and shifted the topic to the real purpose: "By the way, have you heard, it seems that many people have been inquiring about the treasure trove recently. ”

In order to prevent Grant from hearing the abnormality, he tried to say this sentence more naturally, and the reason for returning the book just now should not make Grant feel wrong.

"What's there to inquire about, the treasure trove is just something that everyone is talking about, and there isn't much money in it. Grant didn't notice anything, laughed, and said so.

There is play.

As long as you chat, it should be easy to casually talk about how the treasure trove is opened.

"I think so too. Benjamin immediately followed his words, "What's the use of asking, they can't open it." ”

Hearing this, Grant nodded, and said, "That's it, I don't know why everyone likes to talk about the treasure trove so much, it's all old antiques from many years ago." They can't get grandma's necklace, so what's the use?"

Benjamin's heart moved slightly.

Grandma's necklace?

How did you get the words out so easily?

After thinking about it, out of prudence, he said one more sentence: "Yes, only when you get the necklace can you open the treasure house." How could anyone else possibly know these things. ”

Grant pursed his lips and said, "What can they do if they know? Who can get grandma's necklace?"

Hearing this, Benjamin immediately confirmed the way to open the treasure house.

Old lady's necklace!

Thinking back to the scene at dinner, although he didn't pay much attention to the old lady, he did have an impression of the necklace after staying in this house for so long.

It was a rather modest necklace, with a dark red gemstone strung with an ordinary black string. The size of the gemstone is not large, and the whole necklace does not look expensive, and Benjamin had wondered why the old lady would wear such an inappropriate necklace.

Now that I think about it, it all makes sense.

But......

Although relying on Grant's trust, Benjamin simply knew how the treasure trove was opened. However, this way of opening is too difficult to do, who can the get that necklace from the old lady's hand?

Benjamin felt a bit of a headache.

Telling Michelle the news is actually a complete deal between him and Michelle. But if he really wants to do this, he feels that his trading attitude is a bit poor.

After a few more casual conversations with Grant, Benjamin also left Grant's room. As he walked back, he hesitated to help Michelle ask for the necklace.

He also began to wonder what was in that treasure trove.

As Grant said, there wasn't a lot of value in it, and for the Rieser family, the treasury was really just a symbol. Such a treasure trove, why would Michelle go to such lengths to get it?

Michelle is a mage, and they are so eager for what is in it, does this mean that the things in it may also be useful to Benjamin?

But even if it's useful, there's no point...... He promised Michelle, and he will definitely not regret it.

With that in mind, he shrugged his shoulders and went back to his bedroom.

However, the moment he walked into the room, he was stunned.

"People who like to run around like to run around, even if they are grounded, still refuse to stay in their room in the end, don't they?" the old lady stood in front of the window of the room, turned around, and looked at Benjamin on crutches, "Let an old man wait for so long, and the children nowadays are becoming more and more impolite. ”

“......”

In fact, when he saw the old lady, Benjamin's initial feeling was horror.

He had just asked from Grant that the way to open the treasure house was on the old lady, but in the blink of an eye, the old lady appeared in his room. This is sour, in fact, it's almost the same as hitting a ghost.

You know, Benjamin's room has always been very few people - except Jeremy.

After the horror, he began to feel a little weak.

Why did the old lady suddenly appear here?

Although he was very sure that the old lady didn't know that he was making small calculations against the family treasury, after all, he had just come back from doing bad things, and he bumped into the main owner, and it was normal for him to have a weak heart.

"Hello grandma. Adjusting his mind, he said to the old lady.

The old lady looked at him, no, it should be said that she looked at him, was silent for a while, and suddenly yawned.

"It's boring, my elders came to visit me, but they didn't react at all, it's really boring. She suddenly said that.

As she spoke, she began to walk out with a slow pace, as if she was about to leave.

Benjamin looked confused.

Playing with snakes? Somehow appeared in his room, said something inexplicable, and then inexplicably left, what the hell are you here for?

He wanted to ask the old lady, but for the sake of her elders, he held back.

In this way, the old lady passed him and walked out. However, when she walked out, she suddenly stopped again. Standing in the hallway, he looked back and glanced at Benjamin meaningfully.

"Don't always think that everything you think is right, what you see is not necessarily true. She said.

After saying that, she didn't care about Benjamin's reaction, and left as if no one was around. Benjamin was left alone, standing at the door of the bedroom in a daze.

...... What the heck?

Benjamin looked at the back of the old lady leaving, completely confused.

What does she want to do?

What exactly is she trying to express?

In his previous life, except for the old lady who helped him relieve the siege of the Fur family, he basically had nothing to do with the old lady in other parts. He didn't quite understand what the old lady meant by appearing at this time.

Why do the people he meets look like mysteries all the time?

I don't understand.

“...... Forget it, whatever. ”

After struggling for a moment, Benjamin shook his head and gave up his speculation about the eccentric old man. He is a pragmatist, and if he can't understand something, then leave it alone, so as not to waste his spirit.

The old lady likes to do what she likes, he is too lazy to care.

He closed the door, turned around, and walked back to the bedside, ready to continue his magic practice today.

However, he accidentally caught a glimpse of something on the edge of the window.

"That's ...... Wouldn't it?"

I saw that a simple necklace was being placed on it at the moment. Black rope strung with dark red gemstones. By the open window, a gust of wind blew, and the rope moved, a bit like it was about to be blown out.
