Chapter 237

"Then, Mr. Sofitel, can you explain what this is?"

After ignoring the screams of the girls and the ensuing troubles, Lena has put on her shirt and trousers and sat on the sofa in the dining room, facing the innocent looking Sofitel, of course, dressed in men's clothes.

The girls all went back to the room. After the toss, they were even more tired.

The wall on one side of the hot spring bath was broken by Dana's burst magic. Now it's really an outdoor bath for men and women, but Lena has no mood to enjoy it.

"What is that shadow, a peeping man?"

Asked Lena, looking straight at Sofitel.

"Well, Mr. Ian gray, do you remember when I said I had my own considerations?"

Asked Sofitel, weighing the words.

"I'm talking about the shadow."

"You knew it existed before?"

Lena was more puzzled.

"It's also a shame. About a month ago, I learned from the servants that something wonderful appeared on the beach near this villa."

Sofitel explained.

"It seems that something doesn't fit, but it doesn't look like a creature. Er, if you use some words that will make you laugh at Mr. Ian gray, well, it should be a ghost. That's the truth of the shadow."

"Ghosts?"

Lena was really surprised.

Although there is a necromancer system in the magic of this world, the study of the so-called soul is not in-depth. In fact, until today, the concept of soul has not been separated from the heart lake, let alone the ghosts left in the world after death.

Several famous haunted events in history have been proved to be illusions created by magic props in the end. No mage has ever encountered a real ghost.

The alchemy department proved that people can't come back to life after death, while the Deathly spirit department also met with setbacks in the study of soul.

The so-called alchemy life is a kind of man-made thing that can only act according to the response function left by the time of making. It can't have a soul at all.

Therefore, talking about ghosts in the world of mages is just like talking about gods. It's ridiculous.

"Yes, it used to be a quiet villa with only servants, but recently, the servants in charge of the night watch often see a shadow wandering in the woods outside the villa, but they can't find anything when they light the light to check it."

Said Sofitel with a lingering fear.

"At the beginning, we thought it was a thief, but we spent money to set up a guard's array near the villa. When the shadow appeared, there was no sign of people detected. This is the strangest thing."

"So, after reading my letter, do you want us to investigate the dark shadow for you?"

It dawned on Lena that there was no free lunch in the world.

"Well, that's right."

Sofitel nodded slightly, then added immediately.

"But don't worry, although there is a shadow, there is nothing lost in the house and no one is injured. My servants have lived here for a long time, so I don't think the shadow will do anything strange to people."

Isn't it strange to peep at girls taking a bath... Lena is ashamed, but the existence of the shadow really makes him curious.

He didn't see the shadow directly in the commotion just now, but Lena really didn't feel the obvious trace of magic. If Sofitel's statement is true and the detection magic around the villa doesn't sense the trace of other human beings, then the shadow's magic attainments are quite high, and he can find a way to avoid detection magic, or it is other special body Qualitative reasons.

As for ghosts, Lena did not believe it very much, but regarded it as a relatively impossible explanation.

"Well, it's late today. Tomorrow, I'll investigate around the villa. As for the girls, let them go to the beach for a while."

Lena nodded and stood up. At this time, Sofitel was like a child who had made a mistake. He was sitting on the sofa and didn't dare to move.

"Mr. Sofitel, you should go back to your room early and have a rest."

Hearing Lena's words, Sofitel nodded slowly, thoughtfully.

...

apart from the disturbance of the hot spring, there was nothing wrong all night. The next morning, Lena changed her fresh seaside short sleeves and came to the hall.

Joe has been waiting here. This is what Lena asked. Let Joe, the housekeeper who is most familiar with the place, accompany him in the investigation.

As for Sofitel, Lena asked him to take some girls to his private beach to play. Otherwise, keeping him around would reduce the efficiency of the investigation.

"Ask who has seen the shadow before."Said Lena, and Jo nodded, and took Lena to a reception room.

Several servants, male and female, were already sitting in the reception room. They were a little uneasy. Seeing Joe coming in, they were a little relieved.

"These are all servants who have seen the shadow before. I have called them in advance. Mr. Ian gray, you can ask at will."

Said Jo, standing aside.

Lena looked at these people and began to ask from the person on the far left. This is a maid, about twenty years old.

"When did you see that shadow, and what are its characteristics?"

When Lena asked, he took out his quill and notebook from the storage bag. With a wave of his hand, the notebook was suspended in the air, and the quill automatically recorded the conversation.

It surprised the maid a little, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said.

"A week ago, when I was cleaning the bath at night and preparing to go back, I suddenly saw a dark shadow in the corner. At that time, I was startled and rushed to find other people, but when I came back to the bath again, the dark shadow was gone."

She spoke intermittently, obviously organizing language while remembering. These servants were not highly educated. They only received certain training in reading and writing when they entered Sofitel's house, and could recognize their own names and some common sentences.

According to Sofitel, these servants can also learn to read and write according to their own will. If they succeed in self-study like Joe, they can easily be promoted and eventually become housekeepers of a mansion.

"Evening, bath again?"

Lena glanced at the notes in his notebook and thought.

"My Lord, in fact, there is some speculation among us about the shadow."

At this time, an older servant said, making Lena raise his head.

"Guess? Let's hear it. "
