The magistrate's residence was originally the castle of the nobles of Dalege, everything was fortified, the windows were all open at the top, narrow and small, even in the daytime, the lighting situation was very bad, and later when it was renovated, in order to be suitable for living, the owner specially made a lot of new glass windows on the ground floor.

Through a patterned pane of glass, Lumien looked inside, only to see that the hall where the banquet was held was empty and deserted.

"There are very few servants......," Lia sighed softly.

Because it was daytime, many windows were open, allowing fresh air mixed with the fragrance of flowers 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 hidden place to hide nearby.

Leah turned her head sideways and said to Valentine, who was attached to a decorative pillar:

"I'll explore the road first, and I'll get ready."

"Hmm." Valentine nodded grimly.

Lumien was crouching behind a stone platform where porcelain vases were placed, and when he heard this, he stuck out his head and reminded him:

"No need to explore on the ground floor.

"It's a place where guests are often entertained, and nothing out of the ordinary."

Ever since the magistrates Beost and Madame Pualis had moved, his sister Aurore had been visiting the castle from time to time to visit or borrow ponies, and on a few occasions he had taken the opportunity to follow her, passing cakes, bread, and drinks.

And when the magistrate and Madame Poalis were out of the house, he occasionally came to Louis, the butler. 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 leaned against the wall and went around the staircase.

The four little silver bells magically didn't make a sound.

As she passed through one of the rooms, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from a close distance to the door.

Lumien, who was in the right position, could even see a male servant in a red shirt and white trousers appear in the doorway, about to meet Leah, and there was no shelter around!

Unhurried, Leah turned around, leaned against the wall, and crawled onto the oil painting hanging two meters high.

She then stood on her tiptoes, stepped on the frame, and stood firmly against the wall without getting the painting down.

Lumien wanted to applaud because it reminded him of the circus acrobatics he had seen in Daleège last year.

The male servant came out of the room, instinctively glanced left and right, and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

He had barely taken a few steps when Leah immediately slid to the ground silently with the oil painting attached.

Then the lady did two tumbles in a row and hid behind a pillar.

When the male servant disappeared into the banquet hall, she walked back against the wall.

Finally, she reached the top of the stairs and confirmed that nothing was wrong.

Seeing this, Lumian flashed out of the stone platform and ran in a straight line.

He was very fast, but it took him two or three seconds to rush to Riya's side.

However, he wasn't the fastest, and Ryan completed the "journey" with just one breath.

Valente is not slow either, and his physical fitness is significantly stronger than that of ordinary people.

Without further ado, Lia took the lead, and the four of them distanced themselves and entered the stairs back and forth to the second floor of the house.

The corridors here are lined with closed doors on both sides, and only one window at the bottom lets in the sunlight, making the overall environment look unusually dim.

Ryan glanced left and right and said:

"We searched the different rooms separately, which saves time and makes it easier to hide, but we can't be more than one room apart from each other, so that there is no time to rescue if something happens."

Leah and the others all nodded their heads in agreement.

Lumian immediately leaned to a nearby room, put his ear to the door, listened for any movement inside, and then twisted the handle and flashed it lightly.

This is a maid's room.

He rummaged for a while, but found no clues, so he had to go to the next room.

In this way, the four of them avoided the servants from time to time and explored most of the area on the second floor.

Towards the end of the search, Lumian came to the door of the room that had left him with a psychological shadow.

Louis. Lund's bedroom!

And according to the course of "history", this housekeeper should have given birth yesterday.

"His stomach was torn open, and even if he had stitches, he wouldn't have recovered in a short time, and he must be recuperating in bed now......" Lumian muttered silently, considering whether to push the door open and find Louis. Lund "Let's talk".

As a first-hand witness of strange events, the male butler must have known a lot.

But in doing so, it violates their pre-determined principle of only observing and exploring, and not touching the anomaly, after all, Lumian cannot guarantee that Louis . Lund would not tell Madame Pualis about his infiltration into the castle.

He has given birth to each other, what else can be kept secret?

As for the extermination, it is equivalent to directly saying to Mrs. Pualis, "Something happened".

"It's a pity, if only I knew anything about hypnosis......" Lumien sighed silently, and habitually put his ear to the door, listening to the movement inside.

There was no movement inside.

And with the "hunter's" sense of hearing after concentrating, even if it is separated by the door panel and a distance of two or three meters, it is impossible not to hear the sound of breathing.

"No one? Louis. Lund has just given birth, where will he go? Lumian tried to twist the handle, pushed the door open a crack, and peeked inside.

The room was fairly clean, free of the blood stains he remembered, and of course, Louis. Lund this person.

Lumian frowned slightly, pushed the door ajar with his hands, and walked in.

He could tell that there were traces of human sleep in this bedroom, whether it was the quilt laid out, the cigarette butt at the head of the bed, the black coat hanging on the chair, or the faint footprints on the ground. Lund was active here not so long ago.

In addition to these, Lumian also saw some blood and oil stains on the edge of the bed that had not been wiped off.

"I did have a baby yesterday......" Lumian nodded to himself.

At this moment, he heard a faint voice outside the window.

He hurried over to the window, turned sideways, and looked out.

At the stables, the black-haired and blue-eyed Louis. Wearing a white shirt inside, a black suit, dark trousers, and leather shoes, Lund was talking about something as he walked with Sewell, the driver who sent the siblings to the other side of the world in the last cycle.

His face was quite ruddy, and his walking posture was calm and powerful, and Lumian was stunned for a moment.

This is the one who just gave birth to a child yesterday?

And it was a caesarean section!

Lumian held back the horror in his heart and listened carefully to Louis. What Lund and Sewell are talking about.

Who knows, these two guys are just exchanging experiences in weeding and planting flowers.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lumian was slow to come out, Ryan, who was wearing a dark bowler hat, also pushed the door and entered the room, followed by Ria and Valentine.

Lumian hurriedly suppressed his voice and put Louis. Lund's performance told the three outlanders.

Ryan listened carefully and thought for a while:

"Do you know the 'Mother Earth Goddess'?"

The Daliege region borders the kingdom of Fenerport, where shepherds often go there, and with his sister's basic education, Lumien is no stranger to this:

"Yes, the gods of Fenepot's side."

Ryan nodded:

"The deity is in charge of fertility, and in this regard, there are also areas such as healing and life, which are also reflected in the extraordinary abilities of the corresponding path.

"I'm not saying that the things here have to do with the 'Mother Earth Goddess,' but I'm telling you that fertility, healing, and life are often linked. If Lund was able to have a baby, it is understandable that he recovered in just one day. ”

"That's right......" Lumian thought about it and thought it was normal.

Men can have children, what's so strange about jumping alive a day after a caesarean section?

"What's the catch?" He asked Ryan and the others.

Ryan shook his head:

"It's all a normal servant's room."

"Looks like we've got to the third floor." Lumian was inexplicably heavy.

On the third floor there are the bedrooms of Madame de Pualis and the administrator Beost, the study, the tanning room and the living room, and so on, and so on.

And that means a lot of risk.

"Okay." Ryan didn't hesitate.

Soon, the four of them sneaked into the third floor.

The doors of many of the rooms here are open, and the corridors are much brighter.

Lumien went straight to the point and stepped into the bedrooms of Madame Poalis and Administrator Beost.

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 with precious collections, a set of soft and comfortable off-white sofas, a table with five picture frames and papers, and a plush white carpet that covers the whole room......

Lumian and the others looked around and chose the table at the same time.

The books there are common popular novels, including Forth. Wall's magnum opus, "The Great Adventurer 5: Lieutenant General of Disease", and Aurore's latest work, "The Stand-in Detective", are mainly documents issued by the Daliege region, and the five photos in the frame, four are of Madame de Pualis, and one belongs to a man whom Lumien does not know.

"No Administrator?" He whispered in surprise.

The four photographs of Mrs. Poalis were all of herself, dressed in different costumes and poses, and the only male photograph was not that of the administrator Beauster.

You know, he's the male owner of this family, which is too strange, right?

Leah nodded thoughtfully:

"The magistrate may be in the same position in the family as the butler.

"Have you ever seen a picture of someone putting a housekeeper in their house?"

"And who is this man?" Lumian looked at the picture frame at the very edge.

Inside the frame is a color photograph of the man in his twenties-seventeens or eighteen-year-olds, wearing a red shirt, a black velvet jacket, dark trousers with tassels on the legs, and a pair of boots with laces.

His facial features are a bit similar to that of Madame Poalis, his eyebrows are slightly sparse, his brown eyes are bright and smiling, his brown hair is cut into a more exaggerated three-seven points, and the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, like the kind of person who often goes in and out of high society and has a bit of a ruffian temperament.

Overall, this man's facial features are not outstanding, but they feel very pleasing to the eye.

"Lady Puaris's brother or brother?" Lumian guessed from his appearance.
