Chapter 24: The Missing Little William
When Sig came to the living room again, it was already full of people, and Viscount Limbatten looked anxious around Liu Wei.
The other team members sat on the sofa in twos and threes, and the guards of the Viscount Mansion around them were armed with pistols and looked vigilant.
"Mr. Viscount, I hope you will calm down first. Liu Wei was really annoyed by this fat viscount, and frowned: "Could you please tell me in detail, where has little William been during this time?"
"My son is very well-behaved and never runs around. Viscount Limbatten said excitedly: "He said it before, it was Barbara who asked him to play...... Barbara, by the way, it must be that goddamn slut Barbara!"
"Who is this Barbara?" Jon asked.
"Barbara...... Be...... It is the daughter of one of my servants. Viscount Limbatten stammered.
"Sir, I can tell from your tone that you are lying. Jon was a little speechless.
"Mr. Viscount, you have to make it clear, we are helping you, and if you don't make it clear, we can't help you. Liu Wei said lightly.
"Okay. Limbaton shrank like a deflated ball, and said, "Barbara...... It was my brother's illegitimate daughter, the daughter of my brother Quincy and a maid. After my brother died, we adopted her."
"Where is she now?" said Sig.
"I don't know, I sent my men to look for it, she ...... She is also missing. Limbatten said weakly.
Sig couldn't help but secretly despise this product in his heart, his son disappeared and he was anxious to talk to the ants on the hot pot, and his brother's daughter disappeared but didn't mention it.
Sure enough, illegitimate children are useless human rights, especially if the mother is an illegitimate child of a maid.
Immediately after that, several people asked about something.
"In that case, we split up, each looking for clues, and when we find something, we will notify them with a telephonic note. After Liu Wei understood the general situation, he gave an order.
"I have a hunch that those who are missing are still in the manor. Liu Wei said.
......
The full moon is in the sky.
Sig carried an oil lamp and walked slowly down a long corridor. The corridor is flanked by dilapidated rooms, uninhabited and even the lights have been damaged.
Viscount Limbatton's family used to be a large family, with hundreds of people in various branches, not counting the servants. The five-storey building was once used by the family.
It's just that a strange disease swept through the entire family a few years ago, causing people to wither, and only Viscount Limbatten remained. One house after another seemed empty because no one lived in it.
In the heyday of the Viscount family, they participated in the suppression of the February Revolution and made great achievements, but now they are declining.
Sigurt walked to the end and found a flight of stairs on this side. Stairs lead to the upper floors and also seem to lead to the underground.
It's just that the staircase leading to the ground is in disrepair and is now blocked with chains.
The bottom of the stairs leads to a deep darkness that is not visible to the naked eye.
Sieg was silent for a moment, as if he had made a decision, and then threw out a small fireball, and the scorching temperature exploded instantly, breaking the chain.
Sig stepped over the interception zone and headed deep underground.
......
Jon was already holding his pointer at the moment, and the pointer, which had been out of control until now, suddenly deflected sharply and pointed in one direction.
Jon looked overjoyed at the moment and said to the person next to him, "Follow me." ”
Beside him was the woman in purple named Tina. Tina is a wandering sorcerer from an ordinary background, and her own bloodline is also mediocre, so it is natural to pin her hopes for the future on her future partner.
When a woman can't change her fate on her own, then marriage is the best choice.
For example, Jon is not bad, he was born in a family of great magicians, although he is not a son-in-law, but his identity is very different from others. Along the way, Tina only Jon was the first to look forward, and the autumn waves were secretly sent.
"Jon, do you want to inform the others. "Tina also knows that the compass in his hand has the miraculous effect of screening ghosts.
"Don't. Jon shook his head and said, "I have a certain error in this pointer, and I will notify the others when I am sure that it is correct." ”
Although he said this, there was still one thing he didn't say in his heart, that is, he would get the greatest credit for finding the missing person first.
Jon was a very ambitious man, otherwise he would not have left the comfortable Gudery family and went to the royal capital to fend for himself.
He needs merit, an urgent need. Only the greater the merit, the more likely it is to gain the appreciation of high-level sorcerers, and even gain access to the Wilden family's treasury.
The two of them followed the guidance of the pointer and made a detour all the way, but they didn't even run into other sorcerer teammates. After a meal, the two of them had already spared the periphery of the Viscount's Mansion Manor, and finally appeared outside the door of the reception hall at the beginning.
"What's going on?" Jon felt inexplicable.
"Could it be that the pointer is broken? Tina said in a soft voice. If a woman is weak, it can always stimulate a man's desire to protect.
It's just that Jon didn't answer his words, he looked at the pointer in his hand with a strange look at the moment, and then looked up at the living room in front of him, and said, "Go in and have a look." ”
At this moment, there was no one in the reception hall, and all the manpower of the Viscount's Mansion was scattered around, shouting the name of Little William. The guards even rode horses and searched around outside the Viscount's estate.
As Jon walked into the hall, he immediately looked up and saw the huge oil painting.
For some reason, he always felt that this oil painting seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't say what the difference was, after all, he hadn't looked at this oil painting carefully before.
Jon took the lead and walked towards the painting, trying to get closer.
"Jon, I'm a little scared. Tina's weak voice came from behind, and she didn't know if she was really scared or just plain provocative.
"Don't be afraid. Jon comforted: "Our captain Liu Wei is a senior sorcerer's apprentice, if something goes wrong, remember to turn on the sound transmission...... Huh?"
Jon's words stopped in the middle of the day, because when he just turned around, he realized that there was someone behind him, and Tina's figure seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.
A chill hit, and Jon jerked his grip on the note, but he couldn't feel where Tina belonged.
Jon's expression changed drastically, and he no longer had any worries at the moment, so he tried to activate the transmission note and ask the others for help.
Being able to make a mid-level apprentice disappear without a trace is not something that a low-level mystical creature can do.
There's something weird about this hall!
However, change always comes faster than planned. The pointer in Jon's hand began to spin wildly at this moment, and finally froze in one direction, which was the huge classical style oil painting.
And Jon's body also seemed to have lost control of consciousness, and his whole body stiffened on the spot.
"It's over!" Jon's heart suddenly swelled with a hint of powerless despair......
