Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 65

The official residence of the administrator was originally a castle for the nobles of Daliege. Everything was focused on defense. The windows were all opened very high up. It was narrow and small. Even in the daytime, the lighting conditions were very poor. When it was later renovated, 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..." Liya 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 didn't rush deep and found a nearby hiding place to hide.

Liya turned her head and said to Valentine who was leaning behind a decorative pillar:

"I'll explore the route first and make preparations."

"Yeah." Valentine nodded sternly.

Lumian was squatting behind a stone platform with porcelain vases. 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 the administrator Beost and Mrs. Pualis moved in, his sister Aurore would visit the castle from time to time or borrow a pony. On a few occasions, he took the opportunity to follow her and had a lot of cakes, bread and drinks.

When the administrator and Mrs. Pualis went out, he would occasionally come to see the housekeeper Louis Lund, and he would visit the first floor under his "accompaniment".

"I'll go directly to the stairs." Liya understood.

She didn't try to walk in a straight line across the empty banquet hall, but hugged the wall and walked 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 male servant wearing a red shirt and white trousers appear at the door, about to meet Liya, and there was no obstruction around him!

Liya didn't panic, turned around, held her hands on the wall, and climbed onto the oil painting hanging two meters high.

She then stood on tiptoes, stepped on the frame, and stood firmly with her back against the wall without knocking the painting off.

Lumian wanted to applaud, because it reminded him of the circus acrobatic performance he saw in Liège last year.

The male servant left the room, instinctively glanced left and right, and walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as he took a few steps forward, Liya immediately pressed against the oil painting and slid to the ground silently.

The woman then did two rolls and hid behind a pillar.

After the male servant disappeared into the banquet hall, she walked against the wall again.

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

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

He was very fast, and he rushed to Liya's side in just two or three seconds.

However, he was not the fastest, and Lain completed the "journey" in just one breath.

Valentine is not too slow, and his physical fitness is obviously stronger than that of ordinary people.

Without saying much, Liya took the lead, and the four of them distanced themselves, walked up the stairs, and reached the second floor of the house.

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

Lai En glanced around and said:

"We search different rooms separately. This can save time and make it easier to hide. However, we cannot be more than one room apart from each other, lest something unexpected happens and it is too late to rescue."

Liya and others nodded to show their understanding.

Lumian immediately moved to a nearby room, first put his ear to the door, and listened to see if there was any movement inside. Then he turned the handle and stepped in lightly.

This is a maid's room.

He searched for a while, but couldn't find any 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", the housekeeper should have given birth to the child yesterday.

"His stomach was torn open. Even if he is sutured, he will not be able to recover in a short time. He must be lying on the bed to recuperate..." Lumian mumbled silently and considered whether to open the door and leave. Come in and have a "chat" with Louis Lund.

As a person who has personally experienced strange events, this male butler must know a lot about the situation.

But in this way, it violated their pre-determined search principle of only observing and exploring without touching any abnormalities. After all, Lumian could not guarantee that Louis Lund would not tell Mrs. Pualis about his sneaking into the 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 Mrs. Pualis that "something happened".

"What a pity. If only I knew about hypnosis..." Lumian sighed silently, habitually putting his ear to the door to listen to the movement inside.

There was no movement inside.

And with the "Hunter's" concentrated hearing, it was 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 the handle, pushed the door open a crack, and peeked inside.

The room was fairly clean and there was no blood stain in his memory. Of course, there was no trace of Louis Lund anymore.

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, 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 not long ago I have been here before.

In addition to these, Lumian also saw some unwiped blood and oil stains on the edge of the bed.

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

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

He hurriedly walked to the glass window, turned sideways, and looked outside.

At the stable, the black-haired and blue-eyed Louise Lund was wearing a white shirt, a black formal suit, dark trousers and leather shoes. While walking, he was communicating with Sever, the coachman who sent the siblings to the other side of the world in the last cycle. What.

His face was quite rosy, and his walking posture was steady and strong, which made Lumian stunned for a while.

Is this someone 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, Lain, who was wearing a dark round hat, opened the door and entered the room, followed closely by Liya and Valentine.

Lumian hurriedly lowered his voice and told the three foreigners about Louis Lund's performance.

After listening carefully, Lai En thought for a while and said:

"Do you know the 'Earth Mother'?"

There is a border between the Daliege area and the Kingdom of Feneport, and shepherds often go there. Coupled with his sister's basic education, Lumian is no stranger to this:

"I know, the gods believed in by Ferneport."

Laien nodded and said:

"That god is in charge of fertility, and correspondingly, there are also areas such as healing and life, which are also reflected in the abilities of extraordinary people in the corresponding paths.

"I'm not saying that the things here are related to the 'Earth Mother Goddess', 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 thought it was normal after thinking about it.

Men can give birth to children. Is it any wonder that they are jumping around a day after a caesarean section?

"Have you gained anything?" he asked En and the others.

Lain shook his head:

"These are just normal servants' rooms."

"It seems we have to go to the third floor." Lumian felt a little heavy for no reason.

On the third floor there are the bedrooms, study, sunroom and living room of Mrs. Poialis and Administrator Beost, etc., etc.

And this means great risk.

"Okay." Lai En didn't hesitate.

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

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

Lumian went straight to the point and stepped into the bedroom of Mrs. Pualis and Administrator Beost.

There is a bed covered with light-colored velvet quilts, a small bookshelf with bedtime reading, a very spacious cloakroom filled with all kinds of clothes, a safe for precious collections, and a set of soft and comfortable There is an off-white sofa, 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 selected the table at the same time.

The books there are common popular novels, including Forse Wall's masterpiece "Adventurer 5: Lieutenant General of Disease" and Aurore's latest work "Substitute Detective". The documents are mainly from Daliege. Various matters issued by the region, and of the five photos in the frame, four are of Mrs. Pualis, and one belongs to a man Lumian does not know.

"No administrator?" he whispered in surprise.

The four photos of Mrs. Pualis only show herself, wearing different costumes and posing in different poses, and the only photo of a male is not that of Administrator Beost.

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

Liya nodded thoughtfully:

"The administrator's status in this family may be similar to that of the housekeeper.

"Have you ever seen a housekeeper's photo?"

"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 legs, and a pair of short boots with laces. He was very fashionable.

His facial features are somewhat similar to Mrs. Pualis's. 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. A person with a bit of a ruffian temperament.

Generally speaking, this male's facial features are not outstanding, but they are pleasing to the eye.

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