The third floor

Administrator's official residence was originally Dalege Nobles's Castle. Everything was focused on defense. The windows were all opened very high up. They were narrow and small. Even during the day, the lighting conditions were very poor. Later, during the renovation, in order to make it suitable for living, the homeowner specially built a lot of new Glass Windows on the ground floor.

Through a window decorated with patterns, Lumian looked inside and saw that the hall used for holding banquets was empty and deserted.

"There are really few servants..." Lya sighed softly.

Because it was daytime, many windows were open, allowing the fresh air mixed with the fragrance of flowers to flow inside. This created extremely good conditions for Lumian and others to sneak in.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no servants on the first floor, the four of them entered the hall one after another, but they did not rush into it and found a nearby hiding place to hide.

Lya turned his head sideways and said to Valentine who was stuck behind a decorative pillar, "I'll explore the path first and make preparations."

"Yeah." Valentine nodded sternly.

Lumian was squatting behind Stone Platform with a porcelain vase. Hearing this, he stretched out his head and reminded:

"No need to explore the first floor.

"We often have guests here, nothing unusual."

Ever since Administrator Beaost and Madame Pualis moved in, he Older Sister Aurora would come to Castle as a guest or borrow a pony from time to time. On a few occasions, he took the opportunity to follow and drank a lot of cakes, Bread and drinks.

When Administrator and Madame Pualis went out, he would occasionally come to see Butler Louis Lund, and visited the first floor under the "accompaniment" of the other party.

"I'll go directly to the stairs." Lya said he understood.

She didn't try to walk in a straight line through the empty Banquet Hall, but stuck to the wall and went around to where the stairs were.

The four small silver bells miraculously made no sound.

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

Lumian, who was in the right position, could even see a Men servant wearing a red top and white trousers appear at the door, and he was about to bump into Lya, but there was no obstruction around him!

Lya didn't panic, turned around, held on to the wall, and climbed onto Oil Painting, which was hanging at a height of two meters.

She then stood on tiptoes, stepped on the frame, and stood firmly with her back against the wall without knocking Oil Painting down.

Lumian wanted to applaud, because it reminded him of the Circus acrobatic performance Last Year had seen in Dalege.

The Men servant left the room, instinctively glanced left and right, and walked toward the kitchen.

As soon as he took a few steps forward, Lya immediately pressed against Oil Painting and slid to the ground silently.

Then, this Lady rolled twice in a row and hid behind a pillar.

After the That One Men servant disappeared into the Banquet Hall, she walked against the wall again.

Finally, she arrived at the stairs and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

Seeing this, Lumian flashed out of Stone Platform and ran away from Past in a straight line.

He was very fast, and he rushed to Lya in just two or three seconds.

However, he was not the fastest. Ryan completed this "journey" in just one breath.

Valentine is not too slow, and his physical fitness is obviously better than Ordinary Person.

Without saying much, Lya took the lead, and the four of them distanced themselves, walked up the stairs, and came to the house Second Layer.

There are rooms with closed doors on both sides of the corridor here. Only one window at the bottom lets in the Sunlight, making the overall environment extremely dark.

Ryan glanced around and said, "Let's search different rooms separately. This can save time and is convenient for Concealment, but we can't be more than one room apart, lest something unexpected happens and we won't be able to rescue in time."

Lya and others nodded to express their understanding.

Lumian immediately moved to a nearby room, put his ear to the door, listened to see if there was any movement inside, and then turned Handle and slipped in easily.

This is a maid's room.

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

In this way, the four of them explored most of the second floor while dodging the servants from time to time.

Near the end of this round of searches, Lumian came to the door of the room that had left a psychological shadow on him.

Louis Lund's bedroom!

According to the course of "history", this Butler should have given birth yesterday.

"His stomach was torn open. Even if it is sutured, he will not be able to recover in a short time. He must be lying in bed to recuperate now..." Lumian muttered silently, considering whether to push the door in and "have a chat" with Louis Lund.

As a person who has personally experienced strange events, Men Butler must know a lot about the situation.

But in this way, it violates their pre-set search principle of only observing and exploring, not touching anomalies. After all, Lumian cannot guarantee that Louis·Lund will not tell Madame Pualis about his infiltration into Castle.

He has already given birth to a child for the other party, so what else can be kept secret?

As for silence, it is equivalent to directly telling Madame Pualis that "something happened".

"What a pity. I wish I knew more about hypnosis..." Lumian sighed silently and habitually put his ear to the door to listen to the movement inside.

There was no movement inside.

And with "Hunter"'s concentrated hearing, it is impossible not to hear the sound of breathing even through the door panel and a distance of two or three meters.

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

The room was quite clean, and there was no blood stain in his memory. Of course, the person Louis Lund was no longer there.

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

He could see that this bedroom had traces of human sleep. Whether it was the quilt laid out, the cigarette butts on the bedside, the black coat hanging on the chair, or the invisible footprints on the ground, it all showed that Louis Lund had been active here not long ago.

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

"I did give birth to a baby yesterday..." Lumian said to himself while nodding.

At this time, he heard faint voices outside the window.

He hurriedly walked to Glass Window, turned sideways, and looked outside.

At the stable, the black-haired, blue-eyed Louis Londe was wearing a white shirt and a black formal suit, Dark Trousers and leather shoes. While walking, he was exchanging something with Coachman Sever, who sent the siblings to Otherworld in Loop last time.

His face was quite rosy, and his walking posture was steady and strong, making Lumian stunned for a moment.

Is this the person who just gave birth to a baby yesterday?

And it was a caesarean section!

Lumian suppressed the horror in his heart and listened carefully to what Louis Lund and Sever were saying.

Unexpectedly, these two guys were just exchanging experiences on weeding and planting flowers.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lumian still didn't come out, Ryan wearing a dark round hat also opened the door and entered the room, followed closely by Lya and Valentine.

Lumian hurriedly lowered his voice and told Louis Lund's performance to Three Foreigners.

Ryan listened carefully, thought for a while and said, "Do you know 'Earth Mother'?"

Dalege Region and Kingdom of Feynapotter have a border. Shepherd often goes there. In addition, Older Sister has basic education. Lumian is no stranger to this at all:

"I know, Deity who believes in Feynapotter."

Ryan nodded and said, "That One Deity is in charge of fertility. Correspondingly, there are also areas such as healing and life. This is also reflected in the Beyonder ability corresponding to Pathway.

"I am not saying that the things here are related to 'Earth Mother', but I am telling you that fertility, healing, and life are often connected. Since Louis Lund can give birth to children, it is understandable that he recovered in just one day."

"That's it..." Lumian thinks it's normal after thinking about it.

Men can give birth to children, so why is it so strange that they are bouncing around a day after a caesarean section?

"Have you gained anything?" he asked Ryan and others.

Ryan shook his head:

"These are just normal servants' rooms."

"It seems that I got Third Floor." Lumian felt a little heavy for no reason.

Third Floor has the bedrooms of Madame Pualis and Administrator Beaost, Study, tanning room and Living Room, etc., etc.

And this means great risk.

"Okay." Ryan did not hesitate.

Soon, four people sneaked into Third Floor.

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

Lumian went straight to the topic and stepped into the bedroom of Madame Pualis and Administrator Beaost.

There is Bed covered with a light-colored velvet quilt, a small bookshelf with bedtime reading, a very spacious cloakroom filled with all kinds of clothes, a safe for precious collections, a set of soft and comfortable Ivory sofas, a table with five photo frames and documents and books, and a plush white carpet covering the whole house...

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

The books there are common popular novels, including Fors·Wall's masterpiece "Great Adventurer 5: Vice Admiral Disease" and Aurora's latest work "" Substitute Detective", the documents are mainly various matters issued by Dalege Region, and of the five photos in the frame, four belong to Madame Pualis, and one belongs to Men, whom Lumian does not recognize.

"No Administrator?" He whispered in surprise.

The four photos of Madame Pualis are all of himself, wearing different costumes and posing in different poses, and the only photo of Men is not actually that of Administrator Beaost.

You know, he is the male head of this family. Isn't this too strange?

Lya nodded thoughtfully:

"Administrator's status in this family may be similar to that of Butler.

"Have you seen anyone's photo of Butler?"

"Then who is this man?" Lumian looked at the photo frame on the edge.

Inside the frame was a color photo. The man was in his mid-twenties, wearing a red shirt, a black velvet jacket, Dark Trousers with tassels on the trouser legs, and a pair of short boots with laces. He was dressed very fashionably.

His facial features are somewhat similar to Madame Pualis, his eyebrows are slightly sparse, his brown eyes are bright and smiling, his brown hair is cut into a more exaggerated three-quarter length, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, like the kind of person who often travels to high society and has a bit of a ruffian temperament.

Generally speaking, the facial features of this Men are not outstanding, but they are very pleasing to the eye.

"Madame Pualis's elder brother or younger brother?" Lumian made a guess based on his appearance.
