If this was the real world, even if he could only use rank one or two spells, Rob would still be able to sneak into these rooms without anyone noticing. However, he was currently in a spiritual world.
The rules here were not the same as the outside world.
At this moment, Lolo was like a hedgehog with its body arched, and the castle was the thorn on its back.
What Rob needed to do now was to find the girl and wake her up from this spiritual world. Apart from that, he also needed to figure out what Lolo was on guard against.
In a sense, the second task was even more important than the first.
If he couldn't find the reason, even if he could successfully wake Lolo up this time, something similar might happen again in the future.
The future supreme magus Your Honor stood in the corridor for a while. He did not recklessly enter the four rooms, but instead turned around and walked downstairs.
Rob planned to take a stroll around the castle first. The invisibility spell could still last for about thirty minutes, and he did not want to waste it. In this world, there was no way to recover through meditation or other means, so every bit of mana was precious.
The Bretton family's castle was huge, and to those who had never been here before, it was like a maze.
Rob had already taken a look around the kitchen, and then he went to the rooms of the maidservants and the butler. Very quickly, he looked through all the people working in the castle, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
So he went to the empty rooms on the second floor, and one of them caught his attention.
This room had obviously not been lived in for a long time, but it was very clean, and everything was in its original state. There was a bright red carpet, a clean bed, and a wooden crib beside the bed.
Rob reached out to touch the crib, and it began to creak and shake.
"Who are you?" A voice came from behind him, with a hint of caution.
The future supreme magus Your Honor turned around and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old. She was wearing pajamas, and she was holding a doll in her arms. There was a hint of familiarity between her brows.
Rob raised his eyebrows. This was the eight-year-old Lolo. Although she still looked very childish, he could still recognize her at a glance.
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, didn't expect that Lolo would find him before he did. However, the little girl's gaze towards him was filled with unfamiliarity.
"Who are you? Why are you in my mother's room?" she asked.
Rob's Invisibility wasn't up yet. Logically speaking, no one in the castle should be able to see him, but this was Lolo's home turf. No matter what happened to her, no one would be surprised.
Rob looked into Lolo's eyes and said softly, "I'm here to help you."
"Help me?" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Are you my father's friend?"
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor nodded. "What are you afraid of? You can tell me. I will protect you."
A hint of joy flashed through the little girl's eyes. "Really? There's a monster in this castle. Big brother, can you help me kill it? "
"Monster?"
"Yes, I've trapped it in the second room on the left. However, it's very fierce. It won't be long before it rushes out," the little girl said. At the mention of the monster, there was a hint of fear in her expression. Just as she spoke, the sound of the door banging came from the room, mixed with a few muffled roars.
It was obvious that the thing locked in the room was unwilling to give up. The little girl was so frightened that she hid behind Rob.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor drew Starfall from his waist. With a sword in one hand and a staff in the other, he comforted the little girl. "It's okay. Open the door. I'll deal with it."
"Big brother, you have to be careful. Normal attacks have no effect on that monster. It has already killed a few guards. It will only die if its head is cut off." The little girl took out a key from her pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. She twisted it gently.
Rob was worried that the battle would affect her, so he gestured for her to find a place to hide. The little girl nodded and quickly walked away with the doll in her arms. She hid in another room.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor took a deep breath and kicked open the door in front of him.
Although he was already mentally prepared, Rob was still shocked when he saw the 'monster' that the little girl spoke of.
He had never seen such an ugly creature. It was a lumpy ball of flesh with eyes and tiny tentacles all over its body. Wherever it went, it left a trail of green slime.
When the meatball saw Rob, it was as if it had found its prey. All the eyes on its body blinked and it opened its bloody mouth to pounce on the future Supreme Magister Your Honor.
At this critical moment, Rob did something unimaginable. He sheathed Starfall back into its scabbard. Not only that, he did not even chant a spell. He allowed the horrifying monster to rush in front of him. The hundreds and thousands of tiny tentacles stuck to his chest, and the sharp teeth in its bloody mouth were less than a centimeter away from his neck.
The next moment, Rob reached out and caressed the monster's head. He said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'll bring you home."
The ugly meatball monster stopped its attack obediently after hearing this. It leaned against him with a look of joy and attachment.
"When did you find out?" The eight-year-old Lolo appeared at the door again. She looked at the man and the monster in the room with a gloomy expression.
"Is it strange? You're full of flaws. "The future Supreme Magister Your Honor turned around and said calmly.
"Impossible." The little girl hugged the doll and said, "You've never seen her when she was eight years old. How could you find out so quickly?"
"You've done a good job. Whether it was the cat I met in the forest or the two guards at the door, there were no problems. The castle was also restored to its original state. Unfortunately, you shouldn't have appeared in front of me."
"Where did I expose my flaws?"
"Don't tell me you want me to tell you the answer to this question," Rob raised his staff again, this time pointing at the eight-year-old version of Lolo.
The latter was expressionless. "How can you win against me in my world?"
As soon as she said this, the footsteps of the guards came from the stairs.
