In the past few days of investigating the dream incident, the blessed memory in Li Shanren's palm recovered once, so he also went to the junction.

However, during that trip to the junction, he did not deliberately explore it. He was basically in a state of fighting. On the one hand, he wanted to continue to hone his combat skills, and on the other hand, he wanted to accumulate runes for upgrades to prepare for possible outbreaks in the castle. Crisis preparation.

Before returning from the junction, he upgraded five levels in a row, raising the level to 24. The attribute points were still allocated to "concentration", raising it to 16, and the upper limit of concentration value was also raised to 100 as scheduled.

Now he can release Rock Ball five times in a row, and then the remaining concentration value can support him to release Pyroxene Magic Boulder or Pyroxene Arc again.

If you include the six mouthfuls of blue dew drops that the Holy Grail bottle can provide, then he can continuously release thirty rock balls plus five times of any pyroxene magic he has mastered, or eighty-four consecutive shots of pyroxene magic gravel. .

If all these attacks hit, in this western fantasy world, even the gold-level warriors with the highest defense would probably be able to kill several of them.

It can only be said that today's Li Shanren has made great progress in terms of combat endurance, which is much better than the dilemma of being able to only release the four-shot magic stone pitifully at the beginning.

After the concentration value reached the standard, according to the plan, he also planned to find the powerful soul ashes that would cost a full 100 concentration points to summon. However, he did not have enough time, so he could only put it aside temporarily and wait until the next time he entered the junction. To find.

However, although I failed to get the powerful ashes, I did take the time to get another relatively good soul ashes as a temporary transition.

......

"The information I received from Ms. Karen can be roughly summarized into one sentence. Miss Yoni has not appeared in the castle since the summer, and this matter has nothing to do with Viscount Arman... ..”

In the dark room, Li Shanren bent over and sat beside the bed, speaking in a deep tone.

"According to the content in the dream diary, from the time Miss Yoni found out she was pregnant at the beginning of last winter to the beginning of this summer, during this period, her body shape will definitely change due to pregnancy, and it has reached an point that cannot be concealed. situation."

Eivor, who was sitting on the armchair, heard this and thought:

"Well, for aristocratic ladies, pregnancy out of wedlock is a scandal, especially when the father of the child cannot be found. So, you are saying that Viscount Arman wanted to cover up Miss Yoni's pregnancy out of wedlock. , and secretly hid her?"

Li Shanren did not give an affirmative answer, but said with deep meaning: "According to normal thinking, Viscount Arman should send his daughter to another place for recuperation, and then take her back after the child is born. .”

"But the question is, if Miss Yoni was sent to other places, where did she pull Lithen and the others into the dream? If her power can affect a large area, then Farm City They will definitely be affected by her, but there has been no news about strange dreams among the extraordinary guilds in Farm City recently," Tifa analyzed.

"Well, this is also the problem. Miss Yoni's power is probably limited to this castle. In other words, she actually still lives inside the castle and has never left here, so she can only It affects the people living in the castle," Li Shanren said.

"If that's the case, then why did Viscount Arman hide the fact that Miss Yoni is still living in the castle from the servants in the castle? If it is just to avoid the scandal from leaking, he can just issue a warning to the servants and prohibit them from talking about it. That's all." Basat asked.

"In fact, the servants in the castle have been warned, otherwise Tifa and I's investigation would not be so difficult." Li Shanren shook his head and explained, "They should be more or less aware of Miss Yoni's pregnancy. But what Viscount Arman needs to hide from them is not this matter, but something else——"

"What Miss Yoni was carrying in her belly was a fetus that was born with extraordinary power, and at the beginning of this summer, it had already begun to show its signs. The fetus showed some extraordinary power. This is Viscount Arman. The main reason for hiding her."

"If we want to continue investigating this matter, as we have discussed before, the key point is to find Miss Yoni who was hidden. To this end, we have two directions of investigation."

Li Shanren explained in a calm tone and unhurriedly. When the others heard this, they straightened up and their eyes became more focused.

"The first direction, and the most direct direction, is to ask Butler Kate in the castle face to face. Viscount Arman is not in the castle now, so he will definitely entrust his daughter to the care of the most trusted person. Butler Kate obviously He is a good candidate and he is likely to be an insider of the incident.”

"The second direction is to investigate the servants in the castle. As a pregnant woman, Miss Yoni definitely needs someone to take care of her, and she lives in the castle, so there is no way there will be no trace at all."

"She always needs to eat and drink, and she also needs more nutrition when she is pregnant, so there must be food specially prepared for her in the kitchen, and that food will also be delivered to her. We can use this , find Miss Yoni’s location in the castle..."

"But, either way, we have a problem to solve."

At this point, Li Shanren's tone became solemn.

"We have no reason to intervene in this matter, and we are not qualified to intervene in this matter."

After the words fell, the atmosphere in the room became slightly silent.

After a while, Basat asked with some confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"Because this matter is essentially Viscount Arman's family matter, and we have no right to interfere." Eivor said solemnly, obviously he thought of the key points.

"This matter is a secret of the Viscount family. If we investigate at will, we will conflict with Butler Kate. He will not let us continue the investigation and even find Miss Yoni." Tifa also realized this matter The biggest problem.

Li Shanren said in a deep tone:

"We just accepted the task of garrisoning the castle. This matter is beyond our responsibilities. If we continue to investigate, it will be equivalent to peeking into the secrets of this castle. Not only will our behavior not be appreciated, but it will violate the bottom line. .”

"Viscount Arman may have known about Miss Yoni's pregnancy and the fetus she gave birth to that was born with extraordinary powers. He hid this secret and didn't want it to be known to outsiders. Therefore, when we entered the castle, The housekeeper didn’t reveal Miss Yoni’s existence to us because it was a secret that had to be hidden.”

Eivor murmured: "A child born with extraordinary power is quite rare in itself. Viscount Arman may regard him as the hope of the family's rise."

"So, we can't continue investigating this matter?" Basat asked.

"In fact, there is no need for us to interfere."

Li Shanren glanced at Tifa who was hesitant to speak. This kind-hearted girl still seemed to care about what Miss Yoni said in her dream, "Everyone will die after the child is born."

"Actually, I can probably guess the current location of Miss Yoni. If nothing else, she should be in the central castle, and there is a gold-level red flame swordsman stationed there. His team The members are all elite-level extraordinary beings, which is a powerful force."

"Before, weren't we surprised why a simple guard mission would attract a gold-level swordsman? Now it seems that the reason is here. Their mission from beginning to end is not to defend against external enemies, but inside the castle The enemy is the child about to be born in Miss Yoni’s belly.”

"Even our teams of Transcendents scattered everywhere are guarding against that child."

"From the moment I entered the castle, I began to feel that this guard mission was very strange. As a fortress with two hundred soldiers stationed, the place itself has a good defense force. Even if extraordinary people are needed to assist in the garrison, there is no need for five squads. , as many as there are more than 30 extraordinary people here, and there are even extraordinary people with gold-level combat power."

"So, our real mission is to guard against the child who is about to be born. Viscount Arman obviously also anticipated the danger of that child, so he brought us together. But we should only be auxiliary and play the decisive role, or The gold-level warrior stationed in the center of the castle."

Under Li Shanren's detailed analysis, Tifa, Eivor and Basat's eyes gradually became enlightened, and at the same time they felt deeply shocked.

Although these are just Li Shanren's guesses, the various clues and irrationalities since entering the castle, coupled with the weird dream, illustrate the credibility of these guesses.

"There is no point in investigating this matter. Even if we find out the truth, we can't do anything. If Viscount Arman didn't want the child to be born, he would have had Miss Yoni aborted it long ago, but he let the child stay Once it comes down, we will ensure that it is born smoothly. With our combat power, it will be difficult to prevent this."

Listening to Li Shanren's words, Tifa and the others' eyes fluctuated slightly.

Seeing this, Li Shanren continued to persuade while the iron was hot:

"So, let it go. Since I was lucky enough to learn about the danger of this matter from my dream, we should retreat early, give up the commission, and leave here. It is too dangerous to continue this mission. There is no need for us to do that. I will be responsible for Viscount Arman’s ambition for a little reward, not to mention that the person who is really capable of taking responsibility has actually already lived in the center of the castle.”

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other for a few times, then lowered their heads and fell silent, as if they were thinking over and over about Li Shanren's analysis just now.

Although Li Shanren was a little nervous in his heart, he did not show it. He had a serious and serious look on his face, as if he was waiting for a solemn reply.
