Li Shanren's suggestion was unanimously rejected by everyone. To put it in a more humane way, it became a reserved option under special circumstances.

The reason is simple. Tifa and the others believe that it would be too hasty to abandon this commission based on a weird dream. They must first investigate it to confirm its authenticity and degree of danger before making any plans.

Furthermore, if they can successfully resolve this incident, they will be able to improve the team's evaluation in this commission, and may also receive more rewards from the steward. They cannot just give up casually.

All in all, except for Li Shanren, no one wanted to give up the commission and leave the castle.

Therefore, under the principle that the minority obeys the majority, Li Shanren was forced to join their subsequent investigation plan.

Of course, if Li Shanren still insisted on leaving, they would not stop Li Shanren from running away, but this behavior of running away alone... would definitely be very disgusting.

Although Li Shanren is not the kind of person who cares about face very much.

But to be honest, he doesn't want to leave Tifa's team just yet. If he leaves Tifa and the others alone and escapes alone, his relationship with Tifa and others may break down. Then he thinks about the relationship between him and Tifa. That kind of subtle relationship will most likely lead to a series of troubles in the future...

"Oh, what else can we do? We can only find a way to deal with this matter slowly."

After Tifa and others left, Li Shanren lay on the bed and sighed.

"How about I hold them back during the investigation, make them realize that this matter is a troublesome and messy mess, and then retreat, and finally, for the sake of safety, they can only accept my suggestion to run away? "

Li Shanren is still determined to execute his "escape" option, but obviously this can only be done slowly.

But the question is, does he have that time?

According to the viscountess, the child in her belly was undoubtedly a time bomb that might explode at any time.

Maybe the crisis broke out before Li Shanren could persuade everyone to give up the commission and run away again?

This kind of worry is like a thorn in Li Shanren's heart, always reminding him that there is a bomb in this castle that will explode at any time. Once it explodes, it will be powerful enough to kill everyone in the castle. of all people.

But no matter what, for the current matter, we must first investigate the authenticity of this matter. What if the dream is actually false? Maybe this was just a joke played by the noble lady on him?

Although this joke is not funny at all...

......

In the next few days, in addition to daily duty tasks, Li Shanren's main activity was to accompany Tifa in the castle to contact the servants, hoping to get information about the noble lady from them.

Of course, in order to avoid being noticed, they would use a casual tone every time to inquire about information, and they would carefully select the people they contacted each time, basically only looking for those who had not been working in the castle for a long time. Servants should preferably work within a year.

Those servants were relatively simple, and their questioning would not easily arouse suspicion when faced with Li Shanren.

After all, their investigation was a private act that had not been reported to the housekeeper. They did not intend to make the matter public until they determined the authenticity of the matter.

Eivor and Basat visited the three other extraordinary teams in the castle one after another, except for the Red Flame team, and asked them about the strange dream.

However, among the other extraordinary beings, only two magicians mentioned that they had had a strange dream, but it was already a few days ago. Their memory of the dream was a bit vague, and they only remembered the groggy room and the pouring water. Non-stop rain.

These two characteristics are consistent with the dreams of Li Shanren and Eivor, and it can be basically concluded that they belong to the same dream.

The two magicians didn't seem to explore around in the dream, but stayed in the room until the dream ended, so they couldn't provide any useful information.

Of course, although Eivor and his team failed to obtain any key information in their investigation, it was not without gain. At least they confirmed the existence of the strange dream, and at the same time concluded a rule - perhaps, only those with stronger mental power Only extraordinary people can enter that dream.

After all, the four people who are now known to have entered that strange dream, Li Shanren and Eivor, as well as the two magicians, are all legal professionals who focus on tempering their spiritual power.

Eivor and Basat's investigation went much smoother.

Compared to the two of them, Li Shanren and Tifa's investigation was much more troublesome, and it could be said that they encountered obstacles everywhere.

Because the servants they questioned basically kept secret about the "noble lady" and could not get any useful information at all. Some servants even claimed that they had never seen any "noble lady".

In the past few days, the only thing they could confirm was that Viscount Arman really had a daughter who once lived in the castle, but she seemed to have been missing for a long time, so that some of the new servants had not seen her at all. Pass her.

In the end, Li Shanren and Tifa could only turn their investigation to the old servants in the castle. They first focused on the maid who had taken them around the castle. She seemed to be the head maid in this area, and she must know something. There will be more.

So, on a drizzling afternoon, Li Shanren and Tifa blocked the lone head maid on a path.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Karen, can we talk to you?" Li Shanren said with a friendly smile to the head maid with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

"Two extraordinary masters, what's the matter?" The head maid looked confused. "If any of the servants bump into you, just tell me and I will teach them a lesson."

"No, no, the servants in the castle respect us very much. We have no dissatisfaction. I came to you this time because I want to ask you some questions." Li Shanren said with a smile.

At this time, Tifa, who was standing nearby, seemed to be unable to bear Li Shanren's procrastinating tone, so she asked directly: "We heard that Viscount Arman has a beautiful and noble daughter, can you tell us about her? ?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this question, the head maid immediately changed her expression, her eyes showing vigilance, "You want to ask about Miss Yoni?"

Judging from her expression, she obviously knew something unusual.

The observant Tifa noticed this and felt a little happy. Just when she wanted to ask further, Li Shanren calmly took over the conversation.

"Yes, that Miss Yoni. We have received help from her. Although she may not remember it, we have always wanted to see her again and thank her in person."

"Part of the reason for accepting this commission is for her, but unfortunately, during this time in the castle, we have not been able to get what we wanted. She seems to be no longer in the castle, can you tell me , where is she now?"

After hearing these words, the vigilance in the head maid's eyes subsided slightly, but she still did not relax.

Faced with this question, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, two extraordinary masters, I don't know where Miss Yoni is now. I haven't seen her for a while."

"Then...can you tell me when did you stop seeing her?"

"Not long after the summer started, I seem to have stopped seeing Miss Yoni in the castle." The head maid said in retrospect.

"Summer..." Li Shanren's eyes flickered slightly and he repeated in a low voice.

If converted to a twelve-month system, it was about four or five months ago, which is already a long time.

"Miss Yoni has disappeared for such a long time. Didn't Viscount Arman send someone to find her?" Tifa couldn't help but ask.

The head maid shook her head and said: "The Viscount has never sent anyone to search for her. Perhaps Miss Yoni was sent to another place to recuperate by the Viscount."

"Recuperate?" Li Shanren caught a key word, "Is Miss Yoni sick?"

"This...I'm not sure about this."

The head maid who realized that she had let slip her words clearly showed a trace of panic, but she quickly restrained herself.

"However, Miss Yoni's physical condition was indeed not very good during that time, but I can be sure that Miss Yoni is not living in the castle now. I'm afraid the two of you will not be able to see her in the castle."

"Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll leave first. There's still a lot of work that I need to help with."

The head maid didn't seem to want to talk any more.

Seeing the attitude of the head maid, Li Shanren estimated that he wouldn't be able to get out any more information if he continued talking, so he nodded and said with a smile: "We have no problem anymore, go ahead and do your work. Thank you for telling us this. "

"It's my honor to be able to help these two extraordinary men."

The head maid bowed slightly to the two of them, and then walked away from them with hurried steps, as if she didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

"Eh? Are you letting her go now? It feels like you haven't asked anything." Tifa looked at the maid's leaving figure and seemed to want to catch up and continue asking.

"Well, I already know enough. I can't find out anything if I ask again." Li Shanren said.

"What do you know?" Tifa looked confused.

"Although she didn't reveal much information, through analysis, we can still dig out a lot of things from it." Li Shanren said confidently.

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Tifa looked at Li Shanren suspiciously. This guy always looked absent-minded in previous investigations, and occasionally did things that hindered the investigation. It was hard not to wonder if he was deliberately holding back this time. .

"Really, I didn't lie to you." Li Shanren coughed dryly, feeling slightly embarrassed, "And I've already thought about how to investigate next."
