Chapter 11: That Thing Will Regenerate!
Syk followed Valu to the servant's rest area. Follow him to the maid's rest area on the right. A huge "Male Stop" sign hung by the door, and Vick craned his neck nervously, and Varu opened the door unconcernedly.
This rectangular room has wooden floors on the floor and lockers on both walls. More than a dozen maids, dressed in ankle-length maid outfits, stood crookedly on the side. They had known for a long time that a man was coming, and no one was here to change their clothes. They cast Varu a trusting look, then at Syk with the expression he looked at a piece of moldy bread.
"What do you want me to help you with?" said Rick tightened his neck even more.
"Listen. Varu said.
Everyone was quiet, including the maids. Then, a voice slowly became evident in the silence.
"Ahh
Rick's first thought was that the men thought he had done this, and that he was about to be lynched! His hand reached directly to the kettle bag containing the sacrificial knife, and before he could pull the knife out, Varu cleared his throat and said, "Please help us find out where the sound is coming from. γ
So there was no need to execute Xi Ke, and Xi Ke's hand slowly moved away from the sacrificial sword.
Valu continued, "I heard this last time we met in the studio. What you were dealing withβ" Varu froze for a moment, finally finding the right word: "-head, it makes a sound like this. γ
"You think there's a secret doorβ" Rick said tentatively.
"Yes. I think it came out of a secret door. Varu said, "I need your help in finding the secret door. γ
"Yes, I can help you. But it's not easy for me to search for this place. Rick said. He was already feeling a tremendous amount of pressure just by stepping inside, let alone having to turn the place over again.
The two-ponytailed maid who had taken Rick to dress up as a waiter was also present, and she said, "I'll be watching you from the sidelines. As long as you don't behave suspiciously, I won't make it difficult for you, just look for it. γ
"Okay. Rick sighed. Judging by their very insistent appearance, if Xi Ke refuses, the possibility of passive lynching is not low. Although the definition of "suspicious behavior" is also suspicious, this Busy Seal has to help.
Varu was so thoughtful that he gave a pair of white gloves to Rick so that no one would think that anything Rick had touched would have to be thrown away.
Rick put on his gloves and began to look for the secret door.
He asked the maid where the voice was loudest, and they said it sounded the same everywhere. Nick couldn't lock the range, so he had to open up all the possible places to find it. He opened every cabinet and pulled open the drawers inside. He also stuck his head in and listened to the sounds. The girls' personal belongings are exposed to him. Moved by him one by one. Syk demanded that he must do this work as a professional mage, so he didn't waver in the slightest emotion when he touched those things. The way the little black panties are looked at is the same as a roasted leaf, a simple spell material.
Rick didn't notice, but his seriousness changed the way the maid looked at him, and at first they were very vigilant to prevent Rick from stealing their things while they weren't looking. But the appearance of Xi Ke made them realize that Xi Ke was very serious, and slowly, they looked at Xi Ke with a little trust in their eyes.
After nearly two hours of inspection, Nick finally found the location of the secret door on the left side of the door, counting the fourth cabinet and the space behind the drawer from the inside out. He stood up and looked back to see the floor lined with drawers he had pulled out, and the colorful underwear that he had only now realized and dazzled him.
He said to Varu, "Found it, I've cracked the protective spell, do you want to take it out?"
"Of course. γ
Rick crouched down again, bent down and reached into the cavern in the wall, and took out three small rectangular white iron boxes and placed them on the floor. Everyone gathered around to watch. Rick opened the first small box first, and an unmuffled moan was heard immediately, and Rick closed the lid again in a second. At this moment, he could already see the situation inside the box. The bulbs that he had cut into mud had regenerated! There were now several broken human faces stuck together, which was extremely terrifying.
The second box opened, revealing an empty bottle with a purple potion remaining. Rick picked up the bottle and inspected the bottom and mouth of the bottle for the residue of herbs. Hana did things roughly, and did not filter the medicine clean. Rick could tell from the scum what the recipe was.
"Pills, it should be right. He said, "Use up the rest of the medicine." What is Hana doing here?" Could it be that she wants to stage a classic scene of spiral spire love?
Varu's face turned pale, visibly shaken by the discovery.
Rick opened the third box. There were herbs in it, but it was empty now. Smelling a familiar scent, Rick said, "There used to be a bad throat flower here. It was a poisonous weed he used to use, and he couldn't be mistaken. Because it is a common thing for criminals, Xi Ke can understand that Weishenme Hana wants to hide this material in a secret door. Syk thought for a moment, then said to Varu, "It seems to be on your list. γ
Varu hurriedly took out the receipt, and he looked for a while before confirming that there was indeed an inferior throat flower on it, and the purchase was still full, but now there was nothing left. He took a sharp breath, his eyes wide.
Rick squatted with his legs spread apart, watching Varu's panicked look. The maids also exchanged their heads and were very uneasy. He didn't know the significance of these findings, but they seemed serious. He asked, "What now?"
Waru said, "Put things back in and get them back to their original state. γ
"Even protective spells?"
"Yes. γ
"Tell me about this sooner!" Rick wailed. If I had known, I wouldn't have destroyed the protective spell so completely. He couldn't reset it so flawed. Hopefully, Hana won't notice that the protection she's set up has suddenly become complete.
With a bitter melon face, he put things back, he tried to simulate the spell mistakes that Hana might have, but he would always make the correct gesture because of his strict self-training in the past, and repeated it several times before he successfully failed to cast the spell.
The maids discussed, "When the hell did Hana put things in? γ
"There's no whole day, we're not there at night. Madame was not allowed to leave the room after eleven o'clock, and she could do whatever she wanted. γ
"But we lock the door. γ
Rick interjected, "Locks are useless against mages. γ
"But it's a magic lock certified by the Staff of Light. γ
Xi Ke wanted to say that it wouldn't work, but he thought for a moment and said, "It's more than enough to just block Hana's words. γ
After a moment of silence, Varu spoke, "Disband, everyone. Don't talk about today's things. As usual, you have to stop showing your feet, okay?"
The maids nodded their heads.
"Weishenme can't leave the room after eleven o'clock?" asked Xike, still crouching on the ground, holding his head on his hand.
"I don't know. Madame is not in good spirits. There are often some very strange rules. The maid with two ponytails said, "It's just one of them. For example, the candles on the first floor were also ordered by her. She didn't allow us to touch it, and if it went out, she was the only one who could light it, and she wouldn't let us do it for us. γ
Another maid said, "She would put out the candles herself every night and light them again in the morning. Sometimes I was left by the chef to help, and I would bump into her in the hallway, and it would be like a ghost. γ
Rick understood, he had seen it. But when he touched her, she was lighting a candle. It shouldn't be long before it's going to be all extinguished, and she's still sticking to the point. Rick thought: I wonder if those candles have anything to do with the magic energy underground.
"Xiexie, with your help, you can get back to work. The two-ponytailed maid smiled and asked Syk to leave the women's shrine.
Rick smiled back and got up to leave.

After living in the same room as Xiao Horn's corpse for so many days, Xi Ke also got used to the presence of this roommate with no signs of life. Able to reflexively stop yourself from greeting each time you enter a room.
Xi Ke very unceremoniously wore Xiao Horn's coat, covered Xiao Horn's quilt, took Xiao Horn's pen to take notes, and ate Xiao Horn's unopened snacks. I didn't even say a word to Xiao Horn before I took it.
After getting off work today, Xi Ke had to inch in, and reached for the spell props owned by Xiao Horn. Like many young mages who have just left school, Xiao Horn has a lot of flashy props in his hands, but there are also some simple and practical styles. It is usually more than five years after leaving the school and having enough practical experience before the mages slowly select the items that are really necessary.
He also found one or two ornaments that unscrupulous merchants had sold him. Zuihou discovers a must-have for a mage: a round steel mirror.
Although the material of this mirror can be seen everywhere in life, when it is used as a mirror after polishing, it has the ability to ward off evil spirits. Coupled with the shape of the perfect circle, which allows the flow of mana to flow more cleanly and smoothly, this mirror is a very good medium for projecting spells, and it can also protect against the attacks of anti-projection spells.
Xi Ke held the mirror and thought about it for a long time, thinking about it repeatedly. He intended to commit an outright criminal act.
As for how Hana entered the maid's lounge, she thought she might have set up a portal and jumped through the locked door to go inside. So it is not necessary to open the lock. To confirm this, he needs to peek into various parts of this house.
Rick decided to do it. He pressed the palms of his hands against the edge of the mirror, and with the soles of his palms he pushed the mirror to rotate, and with each turn he said in Soni: "My eyes do not see themselves, but they see the outward appearances." After seven turns, he was no longer reflected in the mirror, but directly through him, reflecting the room behind him. The preliminary preparation of the spell is complete.
Tomorrow he's going to set up a few peeping bases in the house.
