Strange Stories about Castle Rules
It is indeed difficult for people who don't know the inside story to imagine that Will has such a defect.
As for the boy's parents, Valen and Rebecca, they looked like the kind of Western aristocrats that one often sees in newspapers and videos.
The man was well-mannered, his tie was tied meticulously, and he exuded a sense of majesty.
The woman had noble manners, with a slight smile on her face, making her look gentle and docile.
Just looking at their appearance, no one could imagine that they would do such things to children behind their backs.
"She stopped." Gao Wenwen poked his head out.
The maid stopped at a room on the fourth floor, first bent a few fingers, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open and entered.
They were far away and did not hear any response from inside.
But the guess should be correct, Will must be in that room at this moment.
The two of them were looking for a place on this floor where they could cover their tracks. Gao Wenwen had sharp eyes and pointed somewhere.
Ding Can followed his gaze and found that on the door of one of the rooms, there was a metal square nameplate with a pattern of an open book on it.
"Could it be the study?" Gao Wenwen asked.
They had been moving through the cabinets to various areas inside the castle, and rarely paid attention to the scene at the door.
When I passed by the doors of the showroom and laundry room before, I never realized to look at the door signs.
Only now did Ding Can realize that there were indeed picture signs with functional names next to some of the doors.
For example, the room they are seeing now, which is suspected to be a study, and the room opposite, have a burning cigar pattern on the door, perhaps specially provided for guests who have the habit of smoking.
The cleaning time has passed, and no servants should appear in the study at this time. It will be safe to hide here for the time being.
After entering, the two saw that this was not just the study they had imagined, but a home library.
There are a lot of books in it. The bookcases reach all the way to the ceiling, extending from the wooden floor all the way to the ceiling. Each shelf is filled with books.
There must be at least tens of thousands of books in the collection.
Books were a symbol of wealth in ancient times. Poor families only wanted to support themselves, so naturally they had no opportunity to access knowledge.
Only the wealthy upper class people can truly be influenced by art.
The fact that they were able to collect so many books from all over the place was itself a reflection of the Anlengus family's financial strength and power.
They must be well-known in the local area.
Gao Wenwen raised his head, stretched his neck and looked up for a long time, moving through the dazzling array of books.
"This is almost the size of a downtown library."
Among them, there are also many damaged ancient books placed in glass cabinets, carefully framed and protected, which are estimated to have reached the level of antiques.
On the side near the window, there are several reading tables, on which are placed several half-read books marked with bookmarks.
It is now a little after ten in the morning, and the sun is shining brightly, shining through the clear windows onto the mahogany table.
If you sit on the chair, the warm sunlight will fall right on your back, and you will feel warm when reading, which will be very comfortable.
If it is in the afternoon, the reading environment will be better.
In front of the chair, there is a low stool under the table. Children often read here, and they put it there so that their legs are not hanging in the air and can be more comfortable.
Gao Wenwen was also curious about what kind of book Will came here to read.
He took down the top book from the stack of books, and it turned out to be a book on decoration.
Why would a little kid watch this? Could it be that he is interested in decoration?
Only after he opened the contents did he understand the reason.
This book talks about decoration design. The main area involved is how to coordinate various colors and light and shadows when setting the style of the whole house to achieve a higher sense of artistry and appreciation.
Filling the pages are blocks of various colors.
Will is practicing his color discrimination ability through this book.
There are even labels in the corners of the color blocks, with words like heavy black, twelve shades of gray, and five shades of white.
It is not difficult to see that in his world, there are only three colors: black, white and gray. Will should be a person with total color blindness.
All the bright and vivid colors were just shades of gray in his eyes.
But no matter how much he practiced, it was all in vain. Even if he could tell the shade, he still couldn't tell what color it was.
The same is true for the other books on the table. They are not related to any field, but are all related to color.
But these were obviously the books that Will read, and I didn't see any other adults reading them.
Perhaps because the library was regularly sorted by servants, only the books Will was reading were kept for a short time.
While he was checking the table, Ding Can had already walked across several rows of bookshelves, looking for the cabinet in the room.
The bookshelf blocked most of her view, and she only found it against the innermost wall. On this cabinet was a pair of porcelain plates with intricate patterns, which were slightly tilted for display.
After opening the cabinet door, you can see the pattern in the regular corner. This room is a maple leaf.
Paper and pen were easily found in the library. She sat on the floor and wrote on a blank piece of paper the only different factor in the rooms and cabinets they had passed through so far - the symbol in the lower right corner of the rule.
I woke up in a showroom with a squirrel logo, then walked to a ballroom with snowflakes, and then to the laundry room, where I saw the bamboo shoots.
Here, you enter through the door, so you can ignore it for now.
Shi Yan said that she saw several cube-shaped objects in the tea room, but she had no idea what they were.
According to Gao Wenwen, Xia Jialian's first appearance in the restaurant was crab.
What he saw was a Christmas tree in the snooker room, and then the two of them met in the laundry room.
After listing the rooms one by one, Gao Wenwen came over halfway through, and the two of them looked at the information on the paper together.
"Do you want to find the pattern of the cabinet's teleportation?"
"The logo doesn't appear out of thin air. There must be some connection between them."
Ding Can directly extracted the content of the logo.
Your own movement trajectory: squirrel-snowflake-bamboo shoot
High and steady movement trajectory: Christmas tree-shoot tip
There are also separate blocks and crabs whose next teleportation pattern is unclear.
From this point of view, my line is actually the only one with relatively complete clues for speculation.
Gao Wenwen touched his chin and said, "It seems that they are generally divided according to animals and plants. Snowflakes are also considered flowers, so perhaps they can be classified as plants?"
Ding Can said calmly, "It's a bit far-fetched, but it's not impossible. Squirrels, pine trees..."
A sudden flash of inspiration struck her mind. She turned her head away, her brows curved. "I think I understand. This is based on the rotation of the four seasons."
Squirrels feed on pine cones, which ripen in autumn, snowflakes represent winter, and bamboo shoots only emerge in spring.
So my first three rooms are in the order of autumn, winter and spring.
On Gao Wenwen's side, the Christmas tree represents winter, and in the next scene, he is in the laundry room with bamboo shoots just like himself.
And there is a high possibility that this pattern only applies to seasonal factors, rather than to arriving at a specific room, otherwise he, Shi Yan, and Gao Wenwen would not have been separated in the middle of the journey.
If you know the situation of all the rooms with cabinets in the castle, and you encounter a situation where there is danger outside and you cannot leave the room, you may be able to follow this rule to roughly know where you might go next.
"You have a really smart mind." Gao Wenwen became happy along with her.
Outside the door, the maid had already left this floor and gone downstairs after delivering the tea.
The two reappeared in the corridor and walked towards the room they had noted down earlier.
To Will, they were strangers who broke into the castle. Moreover, they were children with many shadows in their hearts, so they might be like frightened birds.
I guess he would start shouting and attract other people in the castle before his identity was introduced.
It’s better to be cautious first.
The corridor on this floor is generally designed with arches. There are seven arches in total in the long and narrow passage.
The width of the side columns is enough to cover the body of an adult.
Ding Can first stood behind one of the pillars, then made an OK gesture to indicate that he would not be discovered.
Then he walked to the door of Will's room, looked up and knocked on the door a few times, then quickly trotted away and found a corner to hide.
Just as the knocking on the door stopped, Ding Can heard a childish male voice coming from the room.
"What's up?"
There was no response and the room fell silent. Just when she thought this method wasn't working, she saw the door handle being pushed down.
Someone opened the door from the inside, and a gap appeared in the tightly closed door.
The shadow I saw in the dance hall earlier gradually overlapped with the person in front of me.
Will seemed a little taller then, and even though he was alone at home, his hair was obviously specially groomed.
There are no hanging bangs, but they are combed neatly to the back with hair wax, making him look like a little adult.
He was wearing a relatively loose shirt and suspenders, and was looking at both sides of the corridor with a puzzled expression on his face.
Not seeing anyone, Will suspected that he had heard it wrong, but he did not go back directly. Instead, he closed the door and went towards the library.
For both of them, the timing was perfect.
Those colored books would surely keep Will occupied for a while.
After seeing the small figure disappear from their sight, the two came to Will's bedroom door and pushed it open directly.
As soon as I walked in, I was surprised by the scene inside.
Rather than being called his bedroom, this place is more like a suite.
The first thing that catches your eye is a large dressing room on the left.
The upper and lower floors are connected a lot inside and designed with corners. You can see at a glance what clothes you want to find and get exactly what you need.
Mainly because at a glance, the clothing style is a bit too monotonous.
Will is just a little kid, but he doesn't even have a relatively casual clothing style. Those relatively playful and cute styles are nowhere to be seen.
Most of the clothes hanging on the hangers are suits of various types and styles, and they look no different at first glance.
But if you look closely, you can discover the subtlety of it.
These suits are well-cut and it is obvious that they are not produced on an assembly line, but are made to measure by high-end tailors.
Details are also made on the collar and cuffs, which are not noticed by ordinary people.
In addition to suits that occupied more than half of the space, there was also a small portion of home clothes, as well as sports jerseys or riding clothes that were obviously used for sports.
The overall style is completely meticulous, and it feels like he will grow into a boring adult.
Further in is the living room.
There was a sofa and an oval marble coffee table on the diamond-patterned carpet, on which was placed the tea brought in by the maid they had just seen.
There was a little steam coming out of the cup, which had not completely dissipated.
After passing the living room, I saw Will's bedroom.
The whole house is decorated luxuriously, but the colors used are relatively plain. His big bed is entirely black, and is covered with pure white bedding.
It is easy to think of the strange funeral style.
But Will might not find it strange. After all, in his opinion, these are the colors he has been exposed to since he was a child.
Next to the bed, there is a desk against the wall.
