The old gatekeeper limped back to the abandoned museum from the market with the vegetables and meat he had just bought. San Xian followed behind him with a lazy look.
It was not his fault. The gatekeeper's life was really boring. Strictly speaking, the museum had been abandoned for a long time. The few authentic items in it had already been taken away when the original owner went bankrupt and ran away. The rest were all imitations or models that were not worth much. Therefore, no thieves would visit this place on weekdays. In the eyes of outsiders, the life of a man and a dog was very boring. Every day, they were either sunbathing outside the museum or sleeping in the guard room.
It was strange that although this museum was not in a prime location, it was not too remote. It was impossible for Gudilesi, where every inch of land was worth gold, to be abandoned for two or three years for no reason.
In fact, during this period of time, some people who were interested in this place had come to see it one after another. The City Hall once said that they would demolish this place together with several nearby shops and rebuild it into a small square. However, for some reason, they did not do anything in the end.
If this place was chosen by the temple, everything would make sense. Although the influence of the temple in the Free city-state was not as great as that of the Sacred Alliance and the Lionheart Empire, it was still one of the top forces in the human world. It was not difficult for them to keep a museum in an abandoned state in Gudilesi.
Lolo saw the old gatekeeper carrying the vegetables and meat into the door and coming out soon. Normally, he would not eat with the people inside. Instead, he would cook in the guard room with a small pot. He would go in to clean up the garbage at about 7 o 'clock. In other words, the people inside should have dinner at about 6: 30 o' clock. The strong sleeping potion would take effect for five hours, so the girl still had plenty of time for this operation.
But when she thought about it carefully, there were many loopholes in the plan. She did not know how many people were in the museum and whether they ate at the same time. She could not rule out the possibility that the chef had the habit of tasting the food before cooking. In fact, in this case, the best way was to concoct a magic potion that would take effect after half an hour. However, with Lolo's current level of potion making, she could not concoct a magic potion of this level for the time being. She did not have enough gold coins in her pocket to buy it directly.
The girl did not know whether Granny Teresa would be staying here for a long time or just temporarily for a few days. So if she did not want to miss the opportunity to meet Granny Teresa again, she had to act as soon as possible. This was the best way she could think of to enter the museum in such a short time. She could only leave the rest to the Goddess of Fortune.
Luo Luo flipped over a small courtyard with ease. This place was an observation point that she had discovered a few days ago when she was wandering around the area. This place was neither too far nor too close to the museum. It was just enough for her to observe the situation on the other side without alerting the other party. Looking at the layout of the small courtyard, the owner should be a businessman who lived alone. He was probably busy with some business and had not been home recently.
The girl leaned against the wall and sat down. It was still early, and dinner would only be served when the sun was about to set. There was nothing else she could do except wait.
Lolo hugged her knees. She thought of her father. If her father knew that she was about to find the murderer who killed her mother and was about to uncover the truth of the incident, he would be very happy. No, her father probably did not want her to follow in his footsteps on the path of revenge.
If her father was standing in front of her now, he would probably reprimand her and make her promise that she would never do such a dangerous thing again. After that, he would ask Captain Wayne to send her home. This man was used to using the sword in his hand to protect his family, whether it was her or her mother …
Then, the girl thought of Eluria — the woman she had never met but called mother. Ever since she could remember, she had heard the name mentioned more than once by the people around her.
Whether it was the guards, the cooks, the maids, or the farmers and knights in the territory, they all praised Eluria as the most beautiful and kindest woman they had ever seen. Lolo could tell that these praises were from the bottom of their hearts, and not just because Eluria was the Lord's wife.
Some said that she was an angel wandering in the mortal world with the purest heart and the clearest smile. Some said that she was a lark in the mountain stream whose singing could take away all the troubles of the world. Some said that she was the first ray of sunshine in the morning, driving away the darkness and shining her love to every corner of the world. But her father said that her mother was just a little girl who liked to eat snacks behind his back and would never grow up …
The more she listened, the more curious she became about the woman who had given her life. How she wished she could sit with the woman named Eluria, even if it was only for a short afternoon. She wanted to sit with the woman named Eluria, even if it was just for a short afternoon. The two of them could brew a pot of hot tea together and listen to Eluria tell her stories and the sweet moments she had with her father. Luo Luo wanted to tell her that after all these years, the man she loved deeply still loved her and had never given up on her.
Then, she thought of Mother Teresa. This old woman was the closest person to her mother other than her father. Eluria grew up in the convent. Not only was Mother Teresa her teacher, she was also her mother. She had been by her side since she was a baby, until the day she married the man she loved. The bond between them had even surpassed that of blood.
Eluria trusted Mother Teresa unreservedly, so the first person Karlov thought of when she was deeply depressed was the old woman. This was also the thing that she regretted the most in her life. If she could meet Mother Teresa this time, Lolo would definitely look into her eyes and ask her why she had betrayed her family.
In the end, the girl couldn't help but think of that man. What was he doing now? Well, he should be in the shop making bread with Master Wukaili. She heard that Gage had gone to help in the morning. She wondered if he would steal the biscuits from the counter when he was serving the customers. Thinking of this, the corner of Lolo's mouth curled up.
Fate was the most wonderful thing in the world. When she first saw the young man in Ryan, she never thought that she would fall in love with him one day. Ha, when they first met, he looked flustered, as if he had a guilty conscience. His eyes were always evasive, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye. He was a completely different person from the calm and composed person he was when he faced the Alpha Wolf in the Endless Forest.
