Chapter 622: Where is he?
Sol packed the little girl again, hung it on his back, and then opened the door to investigate. There was no one in the corridor.
He rushed out of the room and immediately turned into a shadow, rushing forward.
Before he found the little girl's room, he passed by the corridor leading to the tower. It was just the little girl's movement that attracted him, and Sol chose to enter the third floor.
This gorgeous manor is also richly decorated. There is a lot of flashy furniture.
For example, in the corridor where Thor is running, there are hollow tables made of black iron standing in the middle.
At most, a small fruit plate can be placed on these small tables.
But now all the small tables are empty. Apart from serving as decoration, they can only hinder Sol's running route.
As soon as Thor ran to the end of the corridor, he heard a few hurried footsteps at the corner. He quickly stood against the wall, his whole figure blurred, almost blending into the champagne-colored wallpaper.
However, the footsteps came closer and farther away.
Sol didn't see a single figure.
But the sound of wind in the corridor seemed to be a group of people walking past in a hurry.
"Could it be that the pursuers are also invisible?"
Saul couldn't help but look towards the place where the footsteps disappeared. He seemed to vaguely see the retreating crowd.
No longer crude figures made of clay, but real people.
But in fact, he didn't see anything.
There was just an empty corridor and its ornate decorations.
After coming back to his senses, Thor picked up the little girl wrapped in a cocoon and turned around to climb the stairs to the tower.
...
"Are you sure the thief didn't leave the manor?" Lucy stood in the messy room with her arms crossed.
However, through observation, she discovered that the cause of the messy situation was probably not the thief, but the attendants who were in a hurry to find their wives.
"I'm pretty sure it's impossible for him to leave the manor!" Two housekeepers who looked exactly the same said with serious faces.
After the housekeeper called out an enemy attack in the banquet hall, Lucy and Redbeard stepped forward at the same time and offered to help find their wives.
After discussion, several second-level wizards decided to split up, so that they could search every corner of the manor for the eye of the storm.
The manor was not big, and the six of them went through it in detail in less than ten minutes.
However, something unexpected happened to everyone. Not only did they not find any trace of the eye of the storm, they didn't even find the thief who stole the lady of the manor.
The housekeeper was obviously dissatisfied with this result. Their expressions became more and more serious, and their eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water.
Normally, every wizard present would not care about the emotions of these two people.
But now they are in the old manor and have temporarily lost all their power, just like a few ordinary people.
In this case, they may not be the opponents of these two strange housekeepers, and they are very likely to die under the rules of Borderlands pollution bonus.
Unless they can find a way to break the situation and break away from the shackles of the old manor.
Lucy looked at the dim scenery outside the balcony.
"How long have we been here? The sky seems to have always been like this, without any change."
She reached out with her hand, but touched a wall of air less than half a meter away.
She turned around and said to Redbeard and others who were studying a small bloodstain on the ground in the room: "There is a barrier about half a meter outside the balcony. We cannot break through it with our current strength." Brando did not approach but stood behind the crowd
. , "This manor is completely closed, that's why the two housekeepers said that it is impossible for the thief to escape from here."
Durut tapped the ground impatiently with his cane.
"But we have searched the entire manor and found no thief at all."
Lucy thought, "Is it possible that there is no thief at all? It's all just the two housekeepers who are acting, or the lady sneaked away on her own. Is it?"
Kismet kept squatting next to the pool of red blood, staring at it with interest. Like there's actually an interesting painting there.
He raised his head and looked at the others with a smile, "Who do you think that thief is?"
The other people looked at each other in confusion, and the appearance of a person appeared in their minds at the same time, but in a tacit understanding, no one said his name.
Sol!
Red Beard frowned, and he didn't like this answer that was probably the truth.
On the one hand, he hopes to crack the secrets of the old manor as soon as possible, find the eye of the storm, and seal it. Based on this mentality, he hoped that Thor would be the thief and break through the rules of the old manor as soon as possible.
But when he thought about how Thor was "invited" by himself and others, he worried whether the other party would take the opportunity to retaliate.
At this moment, he desperately hoped that the thief was actually the blue-haired wizard.
It’s just that there was no news from the other party after he was kicked out.
At that time, the blue-haired man wanted to go upstairs in a more or less tentative manner, but he didn't expect that he just insisted once and the other party kicked him out of the manor.
If anyone else was kicked out, it would definitely be a disaster, but Red Beard and Blue Hair have worked together for many years and have confidence in his strength.
But having confidence that the other party is alive does not mean that he thinks that the blue hair still has the ability to steal the mistress here.
Brando is happy that Sol has made a breakthrough. He believes that Sol will not take away the hostess here for no reason.
However, since the housekeeper was present, they couldn't talk directly, so Brando just asked: "What do you think the thief wanted to do when he stole the lady of the manor?" Lucy suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked one of the
housekeepers , "Is there any secret room or secret passage here that only you ladies can enter?"
The two housekeepers shook their heads in unison, "No. There are no secret rooms or tunnels in this manor, and there are no places that only the madam can enter. We can enter all the places that the madam can enter." "Can everyone enter?"
Lu Xi was a little confused.
If all places were accessible, then there would be no blind spots in their search.
Where is the thief?
At this time, the mummy wizard who had been standing at the door and never spoke turned around and left the room.
Redbeard and Lucy were still talking about where Thor might be.
Kismet suddenly lost interest in the blood stains on the ground.
"He didn't show up at the beginning. Maybe he's not in the same place as us at all." He spread his hands and said to the others, "There is no point in collective action. Let's spread out and find a way to break the situation." Collectively
. The suggestion for action was made by Lucy.
She believed that if the eye of the storm was found, everyone would need to pool their strength to seal it.
But these second-level wizards obviously will not be as obedient as the wizards of the Stargate Council.
Lucy looked at Kismet, who looked leisurely and at ease, as if he really came to the banquet. She suppressed her inner displeasure and nodded: "Okay, let's act separately first and find a breakthrough point. We can't maintain the status quo forever. "
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the balcony and went straight to Lucy.
Although Lucy sensed the movement behind her, she was restrained by her body strength and had no time to dodge.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, Brando punched out and directly hit the black shadow that was attacking Lucy against the wall.
"Bang!"
The black image was like mud, sticking to the wall in a radial pattern.
At the same time, Redbeard picked up the chair next to him and thrust it hard against the wall, pressing the black shadow that was about to break free from the wall onto it.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
The two butlers stood side by side, their faces expressionless, and their voices did not waver at all.
"If we can't find Madam anymore, the manor's barrier will no longer be able to stop the demons outside!"
