The City Lord's Mansion collected a lot of plants today, filling up half of the room.
Jiang Jin took Old Tu and the four little carrots to check one by one, sorting out the edible and inedible items into different categories.
Elaine took a cloud grass with a very long rhizome and put it into the edible bag. Tracy took a glance at it and felt something was wrong. He reached out to pick it up for a closer look, but was suddenly hit by Elaine.
"What are you doing?" Elaine glared at him unhappily. "This is my bag, don't touch it with your dirty hands."
The back of Tracy's hand was beaten red. His gaze lingered on the cloud grass for a while. In the end, he said nothing and just moved his body further away from Elaine.
"Hmph, he's uneducated." Elaine muttered, and then pulled Brandon, who was happily sorting things, over and said, "You should stop playing with him in the future."
"Ah? Why?" Brandon was confused.
Elaine pouted and explained with difficulty: "He is different from us?"
Different? How?
Aren't they all just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth? Brandon didn't quite understand all these twists and turns, so he shrugged his shoulders and went back to work.
Jiang Jin's useless cheat finally came in handy at this moment. At least once the item was in her hands, she could accurately distinguish the effectiveness and quality of the item.
The old man watching from the side was amazed, "The Lord City Lord's familiarity with these things really makes me, an old man, feel ashamed."
They can clearly describe the effects and taste of this thing. I personally think that there is no room for me to interfere.
"It's all because of a little trick of the magician." Jiang Jin abruptly changed the subject and decided to blame all of her useless cheats on magic.
Sure enough, when the word "magician" was mentioned, Old Tu nodded knowingly, and it seemed that Jiang Jin actually looked at him with some respect.
Jiang Jin put aside the edible plants that might even be cultivated in large quantities. Just as she was about to study the poisonous plants nearby, Daisy rushed over in a panic, shouting, "Lord City Lord! The young master is missing!"
"Gone?" Jiang Jin stood up suddenly and hurried to the bedroom with Daisy. "Explain clearly, you and Bella were guarding the door, how could such a big man disappear?"
Daisy was running with Jiang Jin, and she nearly tripped and fell as she was going up the stairs. She covered her injured knee, not wanting to delay any longer, and hurriedly said, "Bella and I thought the young master was sleeping in the room, so we sat by the door. Later, we heard the sound of wind inside, and Bella went in to close the window. When she wanted to pull the quilt over the young master, she suddenly realized that there was nothing on the bed."
"I've searched the whole house, but I can't find the young master!" Daisy's face turned pale with nervousness.
If something happened to the little one within her job scope, her career as a maid would probably come to an end today.
Daisy's emotional control is pretty good.
As soon as she reached the door, Jiang Jin saw Bella half-kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly, tears and snot streaming down her face. She looked up at Jiang Jin, who was walking towards her quickly, her face full of self-blame and sadness, "No, she's gone!"
Jiang Jin didn't dare to relax. She stretched out her hand and tapped Bella and Daisy lightly on the center of their eyebrows. The result was that both of them felt regretful, self-blaming and sad. There was nothing wrong with these two maids, so where was the problem?
"Is the window always open?" Jiang Jin stepped into the bedroom.
The fireplace in the house was still burning, and the house was as warm as spring. The doors and windows were intact and showed no signs of damage.
Bella was still a little dazed. Daisy pulled her and quickly recalled, "Because there's a fireplace in the house, the window has always been open a little to allow air to circulate."
"It must be that the wind was so strong just now that it blew the window open, so it made the noise."
Daisy calmed down and elaborated on her point. "When Bella screamed, I rushed in and immediately checked the nearest window. There were no signs of climbing."
Moreover, this is the third floor of the main building of the City Lord's Mansion. There are two windows in the bedroom, the top three are glazed windows, not big enough for an adult to pass through, and the three windows below are mostly locked because of the strong wind during the day.
The last possible place someone could enter was the bedroom balcony, but Jiang Jin was afraid of the cold, so the balcony was useless and she had never opened it.
The development of the matter suddenly became unbelievable.
Jiang Jin calmly checked the creases on the bed. She had not been away for long, less than half an hour roughly. At that time, Lucas was sitting in the corner of the bed with his back to her.
A chubby little child, even if someone took him away on purpose, his little arms and legs were simply unable to run out of the room.
Jiang Jin had a guess in her mind. She took out the magic wand from the warehouse, moved her fingertips slightly, and magic power wrapped around it. As the magic wand slowly floated in the air, Jiang Jin closed her eyes, and everything around her appeared concretely in her mind.
This is an ancient tracking magic.
A powerful magician can maximize the effect of this magic, and everything within a radius of five kilometers will be visible in their minds. However, Jiang Jin, a delicate and frail succubus, can only make this magic effect cover the entire bedroom.
Jiang Jin searched bit by bit. Under the table? No, under the chair? No, not even in the corner of the wall or the cabinet. Where exactly was it?
Jiang Jin frowned, her face turning pale because she had overdrawn too much magic power.
Fortunately, when Jiang Jin's consciousness swept across the bottom of the bed, it met the pair of bright eyes under the dark bed, and her breathing suddenly stopped.
It was at this moment that the succubus's magic power was completely exhausted.
Jiang Jin would not easily let others see her weakness. She put the wand back into the warehouse without changing her expression. At the same time, she said quietly to Bella and Daisy, "You go out first and close the door for me."
Jiang Jin thought she looked calm, but in fact, Bella and Daisy saw her stern expression. They did not dare to delay and quickly retreated to guard the door. After looking at each other, Bella shed tears of worry again.
In the bedroom, Jiang Jin collapsed on the ground, feeling a little exhausted. She was reluctant to leave the recovery potion in the warehouse in such a place. Anyway, she had overdrawn some magic power and she just needed to rest.
The focus was on the little guy curled up under the bed. Jiang Jin covered her forehead with her hands in pain.
A moment later, Jiang Jin took out a fragrant chicken leg from the warehouse and whispered softly, "Lucas."
