Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 622 Where is he?

Saul repacked the little girl, slung her over his back, and then opened the door to check; there was no one in the hallway.

He darted out of the room, his figure instantly transforming into a blur as he rushed forward.

Before finding the little girl's room, he had passed through the corridor leading to the tower. It was only because the little girl's movements attracted him that Saul chose to go up to the third floor.

This magnificent estate is also elaborately decorated. There is a lot of impractical furniture.

For example, in the corridor where Thor is running now, there are small, openwork tables made of black iron standing in the middle.

These small tables can hold at most a tiny fruit plate.

Now all the small tables are empty, serving only as decoration and obstructing Thor's running path.

As Saul ran to the end of the corridor, he heard several hurried footsteps around the corner. He quickly stood against the wall, his figure blurry, almost blending into the champagne-colored wallpaper.

However, the footsteps approached and then receded.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Thor didn't see a single person.

But the sound of the wind in the corridor made it seem as if a group of people were really hurrying past.

"Have the pursuers also gone invisible?"

Thor couldn't help but peek out from where the footsteps had disappeared, and vaguely, he seemed to see the departing crowd.

No longer are they rough, clay figures, but real people.

But in fact, he didn't see anything at all.

There was only an empty corridor with ornate decorations.

Coming to his senses, Thor hoisted the little girl, who was wrapped in a cocoon, and turned to climb the stairs leading to the tower.

……

"Are you sure the thief didn't leave the manor?" Lucy asked, arms crossed, standing in the messy room.

However, through observation, she realized that the mess was likely not caused by the thief, but by the servants who were rushing to find their lady.

"I'm pretty sure he can't leave the manor!" the two identical female housekeepers said with serious expressions.

After the housekeeper shouted "Enemy attack!" in the banquet hall, Lucy and Redbeard stepped forward at the same time, saying they were willing to help find their wives.

After discussing it, the several second-tier wizards decided to split up and take this opportunity to search every corner of the manor for the eye of the storm.

The manor wasn't large; the six of them split up and thoroughly searched the entire place in just ten minutes.

However, to everyone's surprise, they not only failed to find any trace of the eye of the storm, but they also failed to find the thief who stole the manor lady.

The housekeeper was clearly dissatisfied with the result; the two men's expressions grew increasingly serious, their eyes so dark they seemed about to spill water.

Normally, none of the wizards present would have paid attention to the emotions of these two people.

But now they are in the old manor, having temporarily lost all their power, just like a few ordinary people.

In this situation, they might not be a match for the two strange female housekeepers, and there is a high probability that they will die under the rule of the No Man's Land contamination bonus.

Unless they can find a way out and break free from the shackles of the old manor.

Lucy looked at the dim view outside the balcony.

"How long have we been here? The sky seems to have remained the same, without any change."

She reached out her hand, but touched an invisible wall less than half a meter away.

She turned to Redbeard and the others, who were examining a small patch of blood on the floor inside the house, and said, "There's a barrier about half a meter outside the balcony, which we can't break through with our current strength."

Brando didn't approach but stood at the back of the crowd. "This manor is completely sealed off, which is why those two butlers said it was impossible for a thief to escape."

Durut impatiently tapped the ground with his cane.

"But we've searched the entire manor and found no thieves at all."

Lucy pondered, "Could it be that there was no thief at all, and it was all an act by the two housekeepers, or that the lady herself secretly ran away?"

Kismet remained crouched beside the pool of red blood, staring at it with interest.

It's as if that place is actually an interesting painting.

He looked up, smiling at the others, and asked, "Who do you think that thief is?"

The others exchanged glances, each thinking of the same person, but none of them tacitly uttered his name.

Thor!

Redbeard frowned, disliking the answer, which was likely true.

On one hand, he hoped to unravel 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 was the thief and would break the rules of the old manor as soon as possible.

But when he thought about how Thor had been "invited" over by them, he worried that Thor might take the opportunity to retaliate.

At that moment, he desperately hoped that the thief was actually the blue-haired wizard.

However, after being kicked out, there was no further communication from them.

At the time, the blue-haired man tried to go upstairs with a hint of testing, but he didn't expect that after only one attempt, the other party would kick him out of the manor.

If it were anyone else who was kicked out, their chances of survival would be slim, but Redbeard and Blue Hair had worked together for many years and had confidence in his abilities.

However, being confident that the other party is alive does not mean that one believes the blue-haired man still has the power to steal the mistress of this place.

Brando was pleased that Thor had made a breakthrough, and he believed that Thor would not have taken away the mistress of the house without a reason.

However, with the butler present, they couldn't speak directly, so Brando simply asked, "What do you think the thief intended to do by stealing the lady of the manor?"

Lucy suddenly remembered something and turned to one of the housekeepers, asking, "Is there any secret room or 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, nor are there any places that only the madam can enter. We can enter any place that the madam can enter."

"Anywhere is allowed?" Lucy asked, somewhat puzzled.

If all places are accessible, then their search has been thorough.

Where exactly is the thief?

At this moment, the mummy wizard, who had been standing at the door without saying a word, turned and left the room.

Meanwhile, Redbeard and Lucy were still discussing where Thor might be.

Kismet suddenly lost interest in the bloodstains on the ground.

"He didn't show up in the first place. Maybe he's not even in the same place as us." He spread his hands and said to the others, "There's no point in acting together anymore. Let's split up and find a way to break this deadlock."

The suggestion of collective action was made by Lucy.

She believes that if the eye of the storm is found, then the power of everyone needs to be gathered to seal it.

But these second-tier wizards are clearly not as obedient as the wizards of the Stargate Council.

Looking at Kismet, who seemed completely relaxed as if he were truly there for a banquet, Lucy suppressed her displeasure and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's each take action and find a breakthrough. We can't stay in the status quo forever."

Just then, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from outside the balcony and headed straight for Lucy.

Although Lucy sensed the movement behind her, she was unable to dodge because her physical strength was restricted.

"Bang!"

In a critical moment, Brando threw a punch, slamming the shadowy figure that had attacked Lucy into the wall.

"Snapped!"

The dark mass looked like mud, radiating outwards and plastered on the wall.

At the same time, Redbeard grabbed a chair next to him and slammed it against the wall, pinning the shadowy figure that was trying to break free.

"Oh no! Oh no!"

The two butlers stood side by side, expressionless, their voices completely flat.

"If we can't find the lady soon, the manor's protective barrier won't be able to keep out the demons outside!"
