Talina was not clear about the relationship between the Golden Law Guards, but the two of them gave her the feeling that they were more like master and apprentice than superiors and subordinates.

"Okay, let's record this for now. We've got the details. Let's go ask the musician first and mobilize the other law enforcement officers to be on alert at all times!"

Slamming the notebook he was recording in, the older Golden Law Guard nodded slightly at Talina. "Ma'am, the situation is still unclear. For your own safety, please do not leave without permission for the time being. If there is any need later, I beg for your cooperation."

Putting the notebook back to his waist, he glanced around as if reminiscing. The older Jinlu Law Guard left with his "apprentice".

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Talina frowned slightly.

Is this a warning? Or a friendly reminder?

She prefers the former...

"Forget it...why bother with so much..."

Pursing her lips, Talina turned and walked into the house.

It's not a good sign that something like this happened right after arriving in Leithania.

The thieves knew the time they would come here and deliberately chose to act after the dinner was over, which proved that they were well aware of their itinerary.

You know, only a few people knew that they were here. No one else knew about it except Kela and Walter. The scale of the dinner was almost the same as a family dinner. In this case, people could still figure out Walter's route of action. This can only mean one thing.

"There's a ghost in the house..."

Squinting her eyes slightly, Talina thought of the maids who were responsible for serving the food.

If there are any "outsiders" in this family, they are the only ones...

They all stayed in the kitchen next door that day and no one went out. It was a little difficult to get outside, but there was a way.

"I'll tell Ke La about this later..."

Shaking her head, Talina gave up the idea of ​​finding the traitor herself.

With the intervention of the Golden Law Guards, it wouldn't take long to catch those guys back. Her identity was sensitive, so it would be best if she could avoid getting involved.

Maria is always by her side. Just because other people treat her normally doesn't mean Maria treats her the same way. You have to know that Lin Guang's name is not only known in Casimir.

"have they gone?"

Maria carefully poked her head out of the room, looked at Talina, and glanced at her warily a few times, obviously being very cautious towards the Golden Law Guard.

You have to know that they are elite soldiers who are fighting against silver spears. She is just a little girl, so it is never too careful.

"Let's go. I guess we'll have to come a few more times later."

Shaking her head, Talina pushed the door open and walked in.

The curtains in the room were drawn wide, and little Marlene, who was entrusted to Maria's care, was alone in a corner surrounded by pillows and quilts, racking her brains to get out.

There were several stuffed toys scattered on the ground nearby, including the one that Talina had used for fishing yesterday.

"The search for him will probably be delayed for a while. Now that this has happened, the entire Shitongling area is under martial law. I'm afraid they won't let up until the suspect is caught."

Shaking her head slightly in disappointment, Talina spoke apologetically to Maria.

Everything was going fine, but something like this happened. It's really...

The world is impermanent.

"It's okay. No one wants this to happen. How's Mr. Walter? Is he feeling better?"

Maria said it nonchalantly, but she didn't feel anything.

Helping someone is a favor, not helping is a duty, she wouldn't care about these things, not to mention that Werner was seriously injured and could hardly save himself, and besides...

She still has Maenna to back her up.

"I don't know. He hasn't come back since he left with Ke La yesterday. I don't know where he went."

When Talina heard Maria talk about this topic, she felt a little upset.

No one knew where Walter and Kela had gone. There was only a message this morning asking her to help receive the Golden Law Guards, and no other news.

For a moment, she became the master here.

"So what should we do? It's okay for me to be hiding, but I'm afraid she won't make it."

Maria raised her chin and pointed at little Marlene, whose half foot was hanging on the quilt, and said helplessly.

This little guy is well-behaved, but he gets hungry after a while and starts whining when he's hungry.

It was fine when Talina was around, she could just pull out food and fill her up like magic, but she couldn't do that anymore.

She can cook, but that's for adults, she really can't do anything about it!

Maria raised her right hand and showed the teeth marks to Talina, silently accusing her.

"Ahem... If there are no other issues, Viviana will probably be back in the next two days..."

After receiving the news that Walter was attacked, Viviana has already set out to return to Shi Tongling, which will probably take one or two days.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work..."

Reaching out and rubbing Maria's head, Talina said embarrassedly.

It's really a bit difficult for Maria to take care of the child alone...

Outside the house, the two Golden Law Guards standing at the gate of the manor stopped and looked at each other.

"Mr. Brant, there's something wrong with what that young lady said."

Tapping his chin with the tip of a pen, the younger Golden Ruler spoke softly to the senior leader beside him.

Talina's words were well-concealed. If he hadn't felt a vague gaze secretly observing him, he might have been fooled.

On the other side, the Golden Law Guard named Brant looked back at the somewhat lonely manor, his eyes hidden under the helmet flashed with a trace of fluctuation, and then he slowly lowered his head.

"Let's go. They have nothing to do with this right now, and the Hochberg family has nothing to do with this matter..."

Volume 8: Chapter 8: Arturo: Open up! Talina: Silence!

Before Walter and Kela returned, Talina temporarily took over the management of the manor.

Without doing anything to alert the enemy, Talina asked the frightened maids to go back home and go to work as usual tomorrow.

It was a bit too late to interrogate them now. Talina could also feel that these women were just ordinary people. They were good at cooking, but they had no skills at all.

She was not afraid that these people would escape.

Shi Tongling is now under martial law to an unprecedented degree. Even the ID number of a fly flying by will be checked. In this situation, people who suddenly disappear will be quickly found.

It's convenient to run away.

After arranging everything, Talina gave Maria some food and left her in the house. She sat quietly in the hall, closed her eyes, and rested.

Time passed quickly, Talina's consciousness sank several times, and then woke up again. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, it was night.

Getting up from her seat, Talina went upstairs to take a look at the two children, one big and one small. After finding that they were fighting, she left the place with peace of mind and walked towards the other houses.

There were many houses in the manor, dozens of them in addition to the tower, so she spent quite a bit of time there.

The maid's quarters, the guest quarters, the study, the kitchen, and the reception room...

Talina checked and rechecked, comparing what she saw with what she had seen during the day.

Finally, after her tireless comparison, Talina discovered a trace at the door of the reception room that was different from what she remembered.

The thin layer of dust on the ground was pushed aside, vaguely outlining a small footprint.

A chill emanated from her surroundings, and in the moonlight, a layer of faint white mist filled Talina's side.

The moisture in the air was extracted and condensed, and a layer of frost began to form on the window sills in the house separated by a wall.

Putting her hand on the door handle, Talina listened attentively to the sounds inside the house and pushed the door open without any rash actions.

"Humph~"

A melodious and ethereal voice came from inside the house. The voice was so soft that even with Talina's hearing ability, it was still difficult to hear.

A musical instrument? Or something else?

Rubbing the handle, Talina couldn't make up her mind.

"Please come in... your temperature is really cold..."

The "music" coming from inside the door suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a cold and soulless voice, inviting Talina to come in.

After tensing all her muscles and wrapping a layer of ice armor around her heart and throat, Talina turned the doorknob.

When I opened the door, the furnishings in the room were still the same as before, except for a young girl sitting on the windowsill.

The other person was holding a strangely shaped cello in his left hand, which was leaning against the window at this moment. The bow was held in his hand, gently tapping the air in front of him like a baton.

"Arturo...you weren't invited today."

After recognizing the other person's identity, Talina walked slowly into the room. Every time she stepped, a layer of ice about one finger thick condensed on the wooden floor.

"Don't be so nervous, ma'am...there's nothing wrong between us."

Sensing the highly targeted cold air, Arturo slightly shook the "baton" in his hand to indicate that he posed no threat.

"I guess you don't mind if I stay for a while? After all... I'm kind of implicated."

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out after I take you to see the Golden Law Guard."

Undeterred by Arturo's words, Talina increased the output of her spells.

In just a few seconds, all the decorations in the house were covered with a layer of ice, like an ice sculpture, exquisite and beautiful, but exuding an undisguised threat.

“I didn’t take that…”

Seeing Talina's hostile attitude, the smile on Arturo's face disappeared: "I was wronged..."

"I don't care. Either leave here, or I'll take you to see the Golden Law Guards. They should still be in the Guards Bureau. Do you need my help?"

With a sneer, a finger-sized ice spike appeared in Talina's palm.

The ice spike hovered in his palm, aimed at Arturo.

Talina didn't care whether Arturo was wronged or not, and she didn't want to care.

She just wanted to throw this bomb that could explode at any time out of the manor. As for how she would do it, that had nothing to do with her.

As for Arturo's claim that he was wronged, Talina actually believed it.

Walter met with the musician from Rutland almost every day, and the two of them would spend a few minutes in the reception room.

After the melodious piano music, Arturo would leave and would not appear here again until the next agreed time.

Repeatedly.

If the person who stole the Golden Rule was Arturo, there was no way Walter would not recognize him.

But again, she didn't care.

It didn't matter to her whether the Golden Law Guard wanted to find someone to take the blame or really found some clues on Arturo.

She needed to guard the house, wait for Walter or Viviana to come back, and then take over. This was what she needed to do.

"Your emotions are complex... and fascinating..."

Looking at Talina, Arturo suddenly uttered a very ambiguous sentence.

Talina was startled by the man's strange behavior, and the caution and worry in her heart suddenly turned into a chill.

Every pore on my arms was breathing with all its might, and goose bumps covered my back.

This guy...isn't he a pervert?

It is undeniable that the Sakota in front of him is very beautiful. Unlike the cheerful and sunny Archangel, the person in front of him is like a quiet statue.

Beautiful and quiet.

But this is not a reason for this guy to "talk nonsense"!

"I have heard many voices, but never one as complex and varied as yours..."

As if he didn't notice the chill on Talina's face, Arturo continued talking to himself, with the bow in his hand resting on the strings of the cello.

Lifting his head, a smile appeared on his lips, and Arturo whispered, "Do you mind if I play a song based on your emotions?"

"This will surely be a beautiful melody..."

With his slender five fingers gently pinching the bow of the qin, Asiltu Luo slowly played the instrument in his hand under Qi Talinna's gaze.

However, the expected melodious music did not sound, and instead there was silence.
