The weather here was great. The sun was bright, and the leaves rustled in the wind. Rob squatted in front of a stream and washed his hands with the clear water.
He was not in a hurry. Although he only had less than a minute to move around after casting the spell, the flow of time in the spiritual world was different from the outside world. This minute would be extremely long, and he had enough time to explore.
After washing his hands, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor followed the stream and walked out of the forest. From the types of trees nearby, he could infer that he should be closer to the north.
Rob also saw a little tabby cat in the bushes. The cat was licking its paws contentedly and looked at him curiously with its big black eyes. It was not afraid of strangers at all.
This was a house cat. The moment Rob saw it, he knew where he was.
He walked out of the forest and saw the castle standing on the hillside not far away.
This was the territory of the Bretton Family.
The time was when Luo Luo was eight years old. Luo Bu remembered that the girl had once told him that the little tabby cat that had always accompanied her when she was young had suddenly escaped into the forest one day and had never returned.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor looked up and looked further away. There was a golden wheat field behind the castle, and farmers were farming there. However, their faces and appearances were very blurry. It was not because they were too far away, but because it had been too long. Lolo did not have a deep memory of these people, so she faded them in her spiritual world.
The world seemed vast, but in fact, it was nothing more than an illusion.
The real places that could be reached were only places that Lolo had an impression of. She, who was eight years old, rarely left the castle. In other words, most of the outside world was just a background.
Rob did not stop and walked toward the main gate of the castle. There were two guards chatting there. When they saw a stranger approaching, they immediately pulled out their weapons and shouted, "Who are you?"
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor said calmly, "Rob Atlede Richard Holstein Rex."
"What the hell is this name? It's so long!" The guards froze for a second and then became furious, thinking that the guy in front of them was making fun of them with this weird name. When Lolo was eight years old, Rob's name hadn't spread across the Dawn Continent yet.
"I want to meet the owner of the castle. Please inform him." Rob wasn't angry.
Probably intimidated by someone's imposing manner, the two guards looked at each other. The young man in front of them had a very unique temperament that made them not dare to be too presumptuous.
One of them shook his head. "Viscount Karov has gone on a long journey and hasn't returned for half a month. Your Excellency should come back another day."
"I'm not here for the Scarlet Sword. Who's in charge of the castle now?"
"Yes, it's Steward Luo Defu," another guard said. "Are you here for Steward Luo Defu?" A hint of doubt appeared on his face. However, Steward Luo Defu had served the Bretton clan since he was young, and had never taken a wife or had children in his entire life. He had never heard of any juniors outside.
"Can you inform him of my arrival?"
The guard who spoke first ran into the castle, but not long after, he ran back with a vigilant expression. "Steward Luo Defu says he doesn't know you, and the viscount has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the castle while he's away."
Rob wasn't surprised by this result. He didn't know what happened in Lolo's mental world that kept her from waking up. However, her self-defense mechanism had already been activated. The reason she chose the memory of when she was eight years old was because she subconsciously felt that the castle was the safest at that time.
The future supreme magus didn't expect to enter the castle so easily. The reason why he asked was to confirm if Lolo was inside. According to the feedback, the castle was undoubtedly the most heavily guarded place in the girl's mental world. If he wasn't wrong, Lolo should be inside, but he didn't know where she was hiding.
Rob's mental strength had been divided, so he was roughly at the level of a grade two magus. He wasn't even as high as Lolo. However, there were many types of grade one and two spells, and they were enough for him to deal with the current situation. Furthermore, he still retained his grade one swordsman skills. A combination of Invisibility and Lighten allowed him to easily climb over the castle's outer walls.
This was the first time Rob visited Lolo's house as a 'guest'. The Bretton family's castle occupied a large area, but the decorations and furnishings inside weren't luxurious. The Bretton family was the number one family in the north. Although the focus of their business wasn't on making money, it was reasonable to say that they weren't lacking in wealth. It was just that the previous head of the family didn't have the heart to enjoy life, so the castle's defenses were outstanding.
Along the way, the future supreme magus Your Honor saw many magic arrays. Unfortunately, only a few of them were working, mainly because Lolo didn't understand the other magic arrays and didn't know their effects. Naturally, she couldn't reproduce them in her mental world. Apart from that, the lines on the magic arrays were arranged in a disorderly manner. Rob couldn't use the methods he used to deal with ordinary magic arrays to deal with these magic gears.
Fortunately, some of the basic rules of magic still existed. The future supreme magus Your Honor could sense the magical waves in advance and avoid these traps. Rob walked across the lawn and quietly passed by the trimmer. He then raised his head and looked at the second floor.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see much from here. The future supreme magus Your Honor didn't know where Lolo's room was, so he could only search them one by one. With his current strength, it would be very troublesome if he alarmed the guards in the castle.
The future supreme magus Your Honor looked at the sky. It was already dusk. It was time to eat. Perhaps he could start with the food and find out where Lolo was.
However, after entering the kitchen, a bitter smile appeared on Rob's face. He was obviously thinking too much. Eight-year-old Lolo couldn't remember what the servants in the castle ate at all. Everyone's food was the same.
The chef expressionlessly cut the sausages on the chopping board. The meat broth in the pot was boiling, and the potatoes were floating in it.
When it was time, a maid came in to fill the pot with rice, put the potatoes and meat on plates, and sent them to the second floor.
There were a total of twelve plates and seven rooms. Three of them had more than one person. The future supreme magus Your Honor guessed that Lolo was more likely to be alone, which meant that she was most likely in one of the remaining four rooms.
