…

In the narrow attic, there was a bed, a shabby table, and insignificant furnishings.

In Angel's opinion, there is nothing worth saying.

However, Laplace was very interested in this attic and stayed here for a long time, almost searching everything in the attic.

Angel even felt that Laplace was making a fuss out of a molehill.

But what Angel didn't expect was that Laplace... actually searched for something.

Bloody clothes, lots of bandages, and homemade crutches.

Judging from the size of the clothes and the length of the crutch, the person who once lived in the attic was probably not an adult. He was probably a child, probably not even 1.6 meters tall.

After judging this information, while Angel was still thinking about who this child could be, Laplace actually found a small note hidden in the head of the crutch.

Angel was very surprised when he saw it, it was like a treasure hunt game.

He thought there was nothing wrong with the attic, but Laplace found so many hidden items, and even extremely secretive little notes. This made Angel, who had previously vowed that there was no problem on the second and third floors, just feel like his face was hurt.

It was a little swollen from the injection.

In the small note, there are not words, but very childish drawings drawn with charcoal strips.

There are no characters in the painting, but small grids, one of which is marked with a red star.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Angel looked at this immature painting carefully, and after a long while, he hesitated and said: "Is this the legendary treasure map?"

As soon as Angel finished speaking, he saw Laplace taking out an iron box from behind a brick on the wall.

Angel was stunned. What is this?

Laplace explained very leisurely: "This is the treasure in the treasure map you mentioned."

"How did you find it?" Angel asked doubtfully.

Laplace: "This looks like a picture drawn by a child. The place where a child can hide is basically where he can see it. If you hide outside and worry about being taken, it is better to hide in your own room and feel safe. So, according to this logic

, this treasure must be hidden in the room."

"The grid in the picture should be wall tiles. Therefore, the location of the treasure may be behind the wall tiles. I did not count which wall tiles specifically, but I sensed which wall tiles can penetrate. That place is probably the treasure hiding place.

.”

"Judging from the results, my guess is correct."

Laplace said as he prepared to open the box.

Angel stood by and said silently: "How do I feel about changing from a combat dungeon to a decryption dungeon?"

Laplace: "Ah? What did you say?"

Angel: "I didn't say anything, I just think that I should add a prompt in your ear at this time. - "Ding! Congratulations on discovering a new prop: the hidden box. The exploration progress is 5%."

Laplace: "It would be very useful if the exploration progress could be known in real time. Unfortunately, there is no such prompt."

Angel thought to himself: Just because it’s not happening now, doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.

If you are sure that Wonderland exists in a way similar to a copy, whether it is a puzzle-solving style, a combat style, or a secret room style...you can create a progress prompt.

Of course, the premise is that Angel has to master Dreamland through the power tree before he can implement it. It’s better to think about it now.

On the other side, Laplace opened the box.

There are very few things in the box. They are all small trinkets, such as brooches, strips of cloth and a lock of treasured hair. Judging from the details, these things should all come from women.

Apart from these little toys, there is only a layer of velvet cloth at the bottom of the box.

"This kind of fabric is generally reserved for nobles." Angel said softly.

Laplace opened the cloth and said, "Unfortunately, at present, no one in this family is a noble."

When the cloth was uncovered, both Laplace and Angel saw a thin portrait hidden under the cloth.

The portrait is not big, but it is very delicate. There are many characters drawn on the small paper.

When he saw the characters in the painting, Laplace whispered: "It seems that I have to take back what I just said. This family should have nobles. Or is it related to the nobles?"

Judging from the costumes of these characters, they are basically from the nobility.

It's just that they are all unfamiliar faces.

The only two faces that were not unfamiliar were a man and a woman.

The man is a thin young man wearing a butler's uniform, with a mustache; the woman is wearing a maid's uniform, standing at the very edge, looking very beautiful, but with a bit of a mean look on her face.

This man and woman are the ladies of this house.

Laplace also didn't expect that the homeowner who pursued a noble life at heart was actually the butler of a noble family.

The landlord's wife is the head maid of the same noble family.

But what does it mean to know their original identities?

While Laplace was deep in thought, his eyes suddenly glanced at the woman in the middle of the photo.

This should be a noble lady. She is holding a beautiful bouquet of large Mary roses in her hands, has long silky hair, is wearing a light blue dress, and has a shiny gemstone brooch.

After careful comparison, the items on her body matched the gadgets in the box. The strips of cloth in the box came from the light blue dress she was wearing; the brooch in the box, although it lacked gems, was

The outlines still match up; it’s just the hair, so I can’t be completely sure about it, but the first two are matched up, and the hair is basically gone.

In other words, the contents of this box come from this noble lady.

But the person living here is definitely not the noble lady. If nothing unexpected happens, it is a child.

As for the child... Laplace's eyes moved down from the noble lady's body and looked at the swaddling clothes held in the lady's hands.

Could it be said that the children living here are actually babies in the hands of the noble lady?

Laplace looked at this portrait, and then thought about all the things he had encountered since entering this space, and a vague guess came into his mind.

However, this speculation still needs some support.

Laplace thought for a moment, then retreated from the attic and came to a main room on the third floor.

This was the homeowner's study room, which contained a large number of books. Unfortunately, she couldn't understand the words in these books, so she just browsed through them.

But this time, Laplace started flipping through the books here seriously.

While flipping through, he didn't forget to ask Angel: "Do you recognize the text here?"

Angel gave a negative answer: "I don't know. However, these may not be the words you think of."

Lapras paused: "It's not words? What do you mean?"

Angel: "Have you forgotten where this place is?"

Laplace: "...Special dream."

Angel: "Regardless of whether it is special or not, this is a dream. And dreams have a characteristic. They are formed based on the cognition of the dreamer."

Laplace: "What you mean is that if the dreamer is illiterate, then the words here are actually the words he imagined, not real words."

Angel did not deny it: "It's roughly like this. Just like a person who doesn't understand arithmetic, if he dreams about arithmetic, there is a high probability that it will be some confusing symbols that make people confused."

Laplace: "I understand what you mean, but according to you, the dreamer of this dream is not an adult."

Adults are generally literate, especially housekeepers and head maids in noble families. If they don't even know basic writing, how can they be qualified for the job?

Angel didn't answer and asked instead: "Don't you think so too?"

Laplace did not refute this time, because the guess in her heart... was indeed what Angel said.

The dreamer of this special dream should be a child.

However, even if it was confirmed that the dreamer was a child, she still needed evidence to support her guess.

Laplace silently flipped through the books. Since the words here are meaningless, there is no need to read the words, just the pictures.

After a while, Laplace found a picture in a book on the table.

The text under the picture can basically be ignored, but the content on the picture is very clear.

A noble manor is on fire.

On the next page, there is also a picture.

A man and a woman brought back a six- or seven-year-old boy from a noble manor. In front of the onlookers, the man and the woman held the little boy and cried. The man seemed to stretch out his hand and swear.

On the next page, there is still a picture.

A new house was built near the rose garden in the manor castle that burned down, and the appearance of this house was...exactly the same as the house they were in at this time.

…

When he saw this, Laplace let out a long breath.

She basically already knew the story here.

To put it bluntly, the aristocratic mansion was on fire, and the only survivor was adopted and raised by the so-called housekeeper and head maid. Unfortunately, the housekeeper and head maid were supercilious. Not only did they not show respect to the only descendant of the noble family, they even

They robbed him of everything, including the manor, including the treasures in the former castle... Judging from the layout of the house, the former butler was even ready to replace him and become a new noble.
