Chapter 622 Where is he
Thor packed the little girl again and hung her on his back, then opened the door and checked. 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 only the little girl's movement that attracted him, so Thor chose to enter the third floor.
This magnificent manor was also lavishly decorated, with a lot of gaudy furniture.
For example, in the corridor where Thor is running now, there are small hollow tables made of black iron in the middle.
These small tables can only hold a pocket-sized fruit plate at most.
Now all the small tables are empty. Apart from serving as decoration, they can only block Thor's running route.
Thor had just run to the end of the corridor when he heard some hurried footsteps at the corner. He quickly stood against the wall, his figure blurred and almost blending into the champagne-colored wallpaper.
However, the footsteps approached and then moved away.
But Thor saw no one.
But the sound of the wind in the corridor made it seem as if a group of people were really walking hurriedly past.
"Could it be that the pursuers have also gone invisible?"
Thor couldn't help but look towards the place where the footsteps disappeared. Faintly, he seemed to see a crowd of people walking away.
No longer crude figures made of clay, but real people.
But in fact, he saw nothing.
There was only an empty corridor and some gorgeous decorations in it.
After coming to his senses, Thor picked up the little girl wrapped in a cocoon, turned around and climbed the stairs to the tower.
…
"Are you sure the thief didn't leave the manor?" Lucy stood in the messy room with her arms folded across her chest.
But through observation, she found that it was most likely not the thief who caused the mess, but the servants who were hurriedly looking for their lady.
"I'm sure he can't leave the manor!" said two identical-looking housekeepers with serious expressions.
After the housekeeper shouted out an enemy attack in the banquet hall, Lucy and Red Beard stepped forward at the same time and said they were willing to help find their lady.
After several second-level wizards discussed it, they decided to act separately, so that they could check every corner of the manor to find the eye of the storm.
The manor was not big, and six people searched it thoroughly in just ten minutes.
However, the result was unexpected to everyone. Not only did they find no trace of the eye of the storm, they even failed to find the thief who had stolen the lady of the manor.
The housekeeper was obviously not satisfied with the result. The expressions of the two men became more and more serious, and their eyes were so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water.
Under normal circumstances, every wizard present would not care about the emotions of these two people.
But now they are in the old manor, temporarily losing all their power, just like a few ordinary people.
In this case, they may not be a match for these two weird housekeepers, and there is a high possibility that they will die under the rules of the pollution bonus of the Borderlands.
Unless they can find a way to break free from the constraints of the old manor.
Lucy looked out at the dim view outside the balcony.
"How long have we been here? The sky seems to have always been like this, without any change."
She stretched out her hand, but felt a wall of air less than half a meter away.
She turned around and said to Redbeard and the others who were studying a small bloodstain on the floor, "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 sealed, so the two stewards said that the thief could not 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 pondered, "Could it be that there was no thief at all, and that the two housekeepers were acting, or that the lady ran away secretly herself?"
Kismet had been squatting beside the pool of red blood, staring at it with interest.
It's like there's actually an interesting painting there.
He looked up and smiled at the others, "Who do you think that thief is?"
The others looked at each other, and the image of a person appeared in their minds at the same time, but no one said his name tacitly.
Thor!
Red Beard frowned, not liking the answer which was most likely the truth.
On the one hand, he hopes to crack the secret of the old manor as soon as possible, find the eye of the storm, and seal the eye of the storm. Based on this mentality, he hopes that Thor is the thief and breaks the rules of the old manor as soon as possible.
But when he thought about how Thor was "invited" here by him and others, he worried that the other party would take the opportunity to retaliate.
At this moment, he hoped very much that the thief was actually the blue-haired wizard.
But after the other party was kicked out, there was no news at all.
At that time, Lanfa wanted to go upstairs with a more or less tentative attitude, but he didn't expect that after just one persistence, the other party directly drove him out of the manor.
If anyone else was kicked out, they would definitely be in great danger, but Red Beard has worked with Blue Hair for many years and has confidence in his strength.
But being confident that the other party is alive does not mean that you believe that Blue Hair still has the energy to steal the hostess here.
Brando was happy that Thor had made a breakthrough. He believed that Thor would not take the hostess here away for no reason.
However, the butler was present, so they couldn't speak directly, so Brando just asked: "What do you think the thief wanted to do by stealing the lady of the manor?"
Lucy suddenly remembered something and turned to ask 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. This manor does not have any secret rooms or tunnels, nor is there any place that only the lady can enter. All places that the lady can enter, we can enter."
"Everyone can come in?" Lucy was a little confused.
If all places are accessible, then there will be no blind spots in their search just now.
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.
Red Beard and Lucy were still discussing where Thor might be.
Kismet suddenly lost interest in the bloodstains on the ground.
"He didn't show up at the beginning. Maybe he's not in the same place as us." He spread his hands and said to the others, "Collective action is meaningless. Let's split up and find a way out."
The suggestion for collective action was made by Lucy.
She believed that if they found the eye of the storm, they would need to gather everyone's strength to seal it.
But these second-level wizards obviously would not be as obedient as the wizards of the Stargate Council.
Lucy looked at Kismet, who looked relaxed and at ease as if he was really attending the party, and suppressed her displeasure. She nodded and said, "Well, let's each take action and find a breakthrough point. We can't just keep the status quo."
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from outside the balcony and headed straight towards Lucy.
Although Lucy sensed the movement behind her, she was restrained by her physical strength and had no time to dodge.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, Brando swung a punch and knocked the black shadow that attacked Lucy directly into the wall.
“Bang!”
The black shadow was like mud, sticking radially to the wall.
At the same time, Red Beard picked up the chair beside him and slammed it hard against the wall, pinning the black shadow that was trying to break free from the wall.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
The two butlers stood side by side, their faces expressionless and their voices flat.
"If we can't find the lady, the manor's barrier will not be able to keep out the demons outside!"
