Hearing what Phyllis said, Lena nodded slightly, which was basically consistent with his guess.
Aunt Celia lived alone in ohmster. She had little contact with her family for so many years. After her sudden death, her father Winchester was so worried about all the family members outside, and only called them together. It was really weird.
What's more, when Lena came in, he noticed that almost all the servants in the villa came from Ian greben's family, and even Chandler, his father's confidant, came. He didn't see the servants who originally belonged here. He also felt a little strange when he walked in. Many things were placed in a slightly discordant position.
So far, Lena has been able to explain these problems.
The servants of this mansion have been dismissed for a long time, and all of them have been replaced by Ian Gray's family. Most of the ornaments in the house have been carefully investigated. Originally, these ornaments were placed according to the beautiful design, and they were integrated. After moving, naturally, there was an incongruous situation.
All these phenomena show that some people try to find something in this house, but they don't get anything.
When he contacted his father Winchester's letter, Lena naturally thought that Winchester might be inconvenient to do things by himself for some reasons, so he asked his children to look for such things in the name of funeral, and also inspected their ability.
"Is sister Phyllis telling me this to remind me?"
Lena asked, theoretically speaking, he and Phyllis are still in a state of competition. What Phyllis said is undoubtedly helping Lena, which makes him a little strange.
Although on the surface, Phyllis has no intention to fight for the position of heir, who can not guarantee that she is actually hiding herself? The Ian gray family has handed down a lot of family precepts from generation to generation. One of the most mentioned words, in Lena's words, is to make a fortune with silence.
So, although many people know that the Ian gray family has a business empire, when it comes to the specific industry of the Ian gray family, people are not very clear. It is this low-key that you can't detect its existence, but it does exist, that makes the Ian gray family stand for many years in this magical world.
Apart from Hailar, who has shown amazing talent since he was a child, the rest of Lena's generation don't look like heirs. If it wasn't for Winchester's proposal to fight for heirs, I'm afraid people would think Hailar would be the next one.
Of course, Lena can be sure that the original Lena Ian gray is really a guy with little ability, which is true.
"I think you're like me."
Phyllis shrugs her shoulders, which is similar to that of Lena. She takes two steps, comes to Lena and grabs his hand.
Fingertips pass through the palm, and Phyllis's index finger rests on Lena's hornheim gold cup ring.
"We're not really interested in inheriting the family, and our ambitions are elsewhere, are we?"
There was a strong sense of enchantment in Phyllis's voice. If she had been another man, she would have been crazy and fascinated.
But Lena was not moved. He did feel kind to his sister for a moment, but he soon woke up.
Enchanting magic?
There was some confusion in Lena's mind. He didn't notice the similar trace. You know, for a four ring mage, ordinary enchantment is like forcing a very thick makeup on an ordinary face, which will make the mage feel a certain degree of discord and become more prominent.
Magic props, or higher-level enchantment?
Lena stepped back a little.
"It's really not important for me to inherit the property of the Ian gray family, but I don't like working with other people very much."
Lena said that he didn't know the details of Phyllis, and didn't know what her ambition was. However, after some exchanges just now, Lena felt that this elder sister was definitely not just a social flower.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
There was no regret on Phyllis's face. She passed Lena and walked out of the room.
"A secret?"
Lena murmured to himself, leaving the drawing room and finding Claire under the guidance of his servant.
The funeral in the afternoon was not grand. Basically, there were only a few brothers and sisters and servants of Ian Gray's family. Lena silently watched the coffin buried. The sky was clear and cloudless. Unlike other funerals, there would be a few drops of rain to exaggerate the atmosphere. In fact, several relatives present had their own thoughts, and they had no memory of aunt Celia's death.
It seems that the secret of aunt Celia's villa has been known by raven and Hailar. When Lena sees Hailar's eyes fixed on the coffin gradually buried in the grave soil, she frowns slightly.
The servants must have searched every corner of aunt Celia's villa carefully, and Lena did not rule out the possibility that his father Winchester called the mage to explore by magic. Since he could not find it in this case, if the secret was not something beyond people's knowledge, it might not be in the villa.Lena is more inclined to the latter. There are so many secret passages and secret rooms in the world, and he doesn't think that the villa may be made of gold. After all, pure wealth is not enough to make his father Winchester go to so much trouble.
What is really involved in a secret will not be handed over to these children.
Once you think about these things, the scope of the search is much smaller.
After returning to the residence from the cemetery, Hailar immediately took several of his subordinates into the villa and searched up and down.
Leiwen did not express his opinion on this, but directly got into his private carriage and left.
Phyllis is similar to Raven, but before she left, she went to the backyard of the house for two rounds. She didn't know what she was doing.
Lena takes a look at the quiet villa, and then a rental carriage comes along with Claire.
"Where are we going?"
On her way back, Claire had heard some explanations about the funeral from Lena. She thought she was going to start a thrilling treasure hunt in the novel, but she didn't expect that Lena left the scene directly.
"Some people look for things with their hands."
Lena pointed to the villa, indicating that Hailar was repeating his predecessors' work.
"And some people look for things here."
He tapped Clare on the head and then said to the coachman.
"Ohmster city library, please."
