240. Chapter 238 “Normal Mansion”


Chapter 238 "Normal Mansion"

Because it was inside the city, the carriage was not very fast, but even if the horses were just moving at a "sauntering" speed, they still quickly crossed the red line that Lucian had anchored before.

Lucian looked at Janos who was holding a document and quietly took out a silver coin.

Just throw it away.

reverse side.

reverse side.

"Huh?" Janos noticed Lucian's small movements, temporarily put down the document he was looking at, and looked at Lucian.

"No...it's okay." Lucian forced a smile and acted like a child who tried hard to hide the silver coins behind his back, but failed.

"Money is for buying things, not for fun." Janos reminded him gently, then he ignored Lucian and began to concentrate on reading his documents.

Lu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and then put away the silver coins directly. Then he looked out the window, his palms sweating slightly.

Although Lucian seemed very confident with Hercules, when it came time for him to take action on his own, Lucian still felt somewhat guilty.

After all, what he may have to face later is not a person, but a life form that can be called a "god". Although his strength would be suppressed to a very low level in the Real Land, the huge gap in life between "mortals" and "gods" still made Lu Xian feel nervous. You can slightly adjust your mentality through some breathing control techniques in meditation.

"There are so many people..." Soon, the carriage almost came to a standstill in front of the gate of the Mondoc family mansion. Many families' carriages were crowded in front of the gate of the Mondoc family mansion, and they could only queue up and wait slowly. Clear the road.

"What's going on?" Janos put down the document in his hand.

"I heard that something happened to a house within the Mondoc family. Marquis Mondoc has ordered people to temporarily seal off the houses there..."

Lucian's ears twitched.

houses?

Temporary lockdown?

If the Mundoc family were just an ordinary family, Lucian would definitely not think too much about it, but now that it has been determined that there is a big problem hidden in the Mundoc family, and it may even be an important stronghold for the group of Chaos Goblins, this kind of The "accident" seemed a bit deliberate and coincidental.

"Of course, this may also be a trap set by the group of Chaos Goblins to mislead some players. I still need to enter the Mundoc family to take a closer look at this."

Lucian closed his eyes gently. At this time, he didn't even dare to use his mental power as an antenna to sense the surrounding situation, for fear that he would be noticed by some intentional players when he used his mental power to detect.

After all, although mental power detection is very hidden, among the practitioners in many worlds, it is inevitable that there will be a few people who are more sensitive to the perception of mental power, let alone that person who may be hiding in the dark, looking down on everything. That "Him".

The method Lucian now uses for investigation is very simple, that is, using the identity of [Lula] and his imperceptible talent of [mind reading].

Because this talent comes from the dream world itself, even if it is noticed by other interested people, it will not cause too big a problem. At most, it will only pay a little attention to itself.

"The emotional colors of these two waiters are relatively normal. Although they have warm smiles on their faces, the slight gray in their emotions means that they are actually a little tired now. This is in line with the characters and should not be played by players."

"Huh? The maid's emotional color is a little abnormal. She seems to be more nervous than other maids. The conspicuous red in the emotional color seems to remind others that if there is any trouble, she will get violent... This looks very much like a 'player'! He may even be the same player he saw at the party last night."

Lucian was held by Janos' hand. He pretended to look around curiously, but through his [Mind Reading] talent, he began to observe other people's emotional fluctuations.

With the blessing of the [Mind Reading] talent, Lucian felt like a person carrying an infrared detector for reconnaissance at night, and could easily find the existence of some suspected players.

Although there may be misjudgments or omissions, this trick is surprisingly useful in large-scale "illiteracy" situations.

Less than half an hour after he came out of the carriage, Lucian found three servants in the Mondoc family mansion who were suspected to be players during this large-scale scan.

However, because it was just a quick glance, Lucian did not have the conditions to observe them in depth in order to read some more secret and useful information from their hearts.

Of course, another reason for this is that Lucian does not think that these outermost servants will be the core figures among the group of Chaos Goblins.

After all, if they want to transform the entire Mondoc family mansion into their "stronghold", this is not something that a few male waiters and maids responsible for reception can handle.

At least one has to be at the level of a great butler to be able to "hide the truth". Even in Lucian's view, Marquis Mondoc himself is the biggest suspect.

So after entering the banquet hall, Lucian immediately turned his attention to the host of the banquet, Marquis Mondoc.

After saying hello politely, Lucian couldn't wait to check the emotional color of Marquis Mondoc.

"There is a kind of dark blue on the surface. He seems to have something on his mind, or a kind of calmness belonging to a superior. At the same time, the amplitude of this blue rhythm is not large. It can be seen that he is very rational at this time..." Lucian quickly observed Watching Marquis Mondoc's mood swings, he soon couldn't help but frown.

Marquis Mondoc's mood swings were so normal that even Lucian could find corresponding parts in his mood swings from the time and intervals between his conversations with other people.

This also shows that the Marquis of Mundoc is most likely a "wild" character and is not controlled by a certain player!

Lucian's expression was calm and he didn't feel much surprised by this.

Then he turned his attention to the Marquise beside him.

"The Marquise seems a little excited. Her emotional color is mainly a very beautiful bright yellow, and even has a flame-like feeling... Well, with the necklace she is wearing, she should want to show off to other noble ladies. Show off?"

Lucian lowered his head to hide the confusion in his heart.

Because after his careful observation, it seems that the Marquise is not played by the player, but has a wild status like the Marquis of Mondoc.

But the problem is, this is the enemy's lair!

It's like the feeling that all the good people found in a bandit's village are good people. This kind of no problem is the biggest problem!

Lucian's face became a little ugly, and he began to look at the male and female housekeepers who were responsible for entertaining other guests with some disbelief.

"They don't seem to be players..." Lucian was sweating slightly on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and began to look at other more prestigious maids, stewards, and foremen.

"Normal." "Normal."

"normal……"

The more he checked, the heavier Lucian's heart became, because after checking more than a dozen people, he suddenly discovered that none of these characters were suspected players at all!

Everything is so normal! It's so normal that it seems like the player doesn't exist within the Mondoc family at all.

Lucian began to "roll the roll" with some disbelief. He observed them in order from high to low in the Mondoc family mansion. It was not until finally that he found the names of some of the "players" in a maid with a slightly higher status. trace.

But the status of this maid within the Mondoc family is really not high. She is just a little head maid. If you really think about it, her status is not as good as some personal maids who serve the core members of the family.

How could such a small person secretly control the entire Mondoc family?

Is there something wrong with the [Mind Reading] talent?

Lu Xian wondered, looking at the members of the Mondoc family, he felt that everyone was like a wolf in human skin.

"Calm down, I have to calm down..." Lucian pinched himself quietly with his nails, then looked around again, with a smile on his face.

He let go of Janos's hand and ran towards where a group of "children" were gathering.

Since nothing can be seen by just looking at emotions, he needs to find other observation targets and try to "read his mind" on a deeper level, observing a group of his own without considering the use of mental assistance. It is naturally easier to observe peers than those adults.

And his target is naturally Daya, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Mondoc.

"Sister Daya!" Lucian trotted and quickly got into the group of children.

"Lula, you came just in time. We are about to go see Heilman." Daya is a sweet-looking blond girl. When she saw Lucian coming, she greeted Lucian with a smile, her eyes were clear and her emotions were colorful. It has a pleasant green color.

It can be seen that Daya is in a very good mood at this time.

"Hairman?" Lucian appropriately showed a confused expression. He had done his homework before and knew about the big and small figures within the Mondoc family, but Heilman was not among them.

"This is Daya's brother. I heard from my father that this banquet is actually to celebrate Hellman's birthday..." A boy interrupted in a low voice.

"Yes, but because my brother is not in good health, this gathering was not public..." Daya explained in a low voice.

"It looks like he is a premature baby..." Lucian quickly understood Heilmann's identity from the mouths of these children.

"By the way, Hellman must still be sleeping now. When everyone goes in, just look at him from a distance and don't talk!" Daya acted like a young adult at this time, looking at the other children with seriousness in her eyes.

Lucian took this opportunity to look into Daya's eyes. With the activation of his [Mind Reading] ability, he quickly entered Daya's inner world and saw the girl lying in front of a cradle, being rubbed. A picture of the head telling you some things to pay attention to.

"Is this what Daya is thinking? It seems like she is really just a player, and her inner thoughts are her thoughts..." Lu Xian sighed helplessly, but at this time he was wrapped up by a group of children, tiptoeing around He walked towards the baby's room nearby.

Soon, Lucian saw Heilman.

This is a baby who is sleeping soundly at this time. The baby's face is still wrinkled, and the flesh of the body shows many small tires.

"Eh, so ugly..." A child made a slightly contemptuous voice, but was quickly chased away by Daya like a hen guarding its young.

"My brother is the cutest!" Daya's voice was deliberately lowered, but there was an undeniable flavor in her tone.

"Okay, Daya, can you invite your friends to go to the room to play? My brother can't blow the air yet..." A beautiful woman said in a weak voice on the bed in the corner of the room.

"Huh?" Lucian then noticed the resting woman. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then used his talent of [Mind Reading].

Everything works fine.

Lucian frowned slightly, but at this time he was urged by Daya and had to leave the baby room.

Squeak——

The door to the room was closed by a maid.

Suddenly, the maid's body froze, and then her actions returned to normal. However, her eyes lost their eyeballs at this time. The boundary between black and white became blurred at this moment, and the pupils became completely representative. Chaotic gray.

Not only her, but also the young duchess who had just given birth and a wet nurse who was on call at any time, both eyes turned completely gray at this time.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the baby. At this time, he calmly opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly. Although his not yet fully developed vocal cords could not produce effective syllables at this time, his buzzing lips were using a kind of sound. The unknown and peculiar language shouted a word.

wizard.

The next moment, the eyes of several people in the room changed from gray to normal color again. They were each busy with their own things, and it seemed like nothing happened just now.

"Ask the maid to come in and help Heilman change the quilt."

"Yes, madam." The maid bowed respectfully, and soon a maid responsible for handling chores was called in.

If Lucian was still here, he would have recognized that this maid happened to be one of the maids he had noticed before, who was suspected of being a player.

"Madam." The maid bowed respectfully at this time.

But the next moment, a terrifying gray air flow directly enveloped her. Under the erosion of this air flow, the maid's eyes gradually turned gray, and a blurry figure appeared vaguely on the surface of her body. Silhouette, it struggled and roared, but could not make any sound.

Suddenly, with a slight banging sound, the player's body exploded completely, turning into little bits of golden ink that flew into the baby's mouth.

Bah, bah, bah...

Baby Heilman chirped, showing an unusually satisfied expression, and his wrinkled brows suddenly relaxed at this moment.
