Meet the principal

Hearing Felice's words, Reiner nodded slightly, which was basically consistent with his guess.

Aunt Celia lived alone in Olmsted and had very little contact with her family for so many years. After her sudden death, her father Winchester spent so much time worrying about all the family members who were outside and only summoned a few of them. Yes, it's really weird.

Moreover, Reiner noticed when he came in that almost all the servants in this villa came from the Ian Graeburn family. Even his father's confidant Chandler came, but he didn't see the people who originally belonged here at all. As the servant walked in, he also felt a little weird. Many things were placed in a slightly uncoordinated position.

By now, Reiner was finally able to explain the problems.

The servants of this mansion have long since been dismissed and replaced by members of the Ian Graeburn family, and most of the decorations in the house have been carefully investigated. Originally, these decorations were placed according to beautiful designs. It is completely integrated, and after moving, there will naturally be disharmony.

All these phenomena indicate that someone is trying to find something in this house, but to no avail.

Relating to the letter from his father Winchester, Reiner naturally thought that Winchester might be inconvenient to do it himself for some reasons, so he asked his children to find such things in the name of the funeral, and also inspected it by the way. Check out their abilities.

"Sister Phyllis said this to me, are you reminding me?"

Reiner asked. Theoretically, he and Phyllis were still competing. The information that Phyllis mentioned was undoubtedly helping Reiner, which made him a little strange.

Although it seems that Phyllis has no intention of competing for the position of heir, no one can guarantee that she is actually hiding herself. The Iain Gray family has many family mottos passed down from generation to generation, among which the most mentioned sentence is, To put it in Reiner's words, it means making a fortune silently.

Therefore, although many people know that the Iain Gray family has a business empire, when it comes to the specific industry of the Iain Gray family, people are not very clear. It is this kind of existence that you cannot detect, but it does exist. The low profile allows the Iain Gray family to stand firm for many years in this magical world.

Except for Hyrule, who has shown amazing talent since childhood, the rest of Reiner's generation don't look like heirs. If the head of the family, Winchester, hadn't proposed a fight for the heir, people might have thought that Hyrule would. Become the next head of the family.

Of course, Reiner can be sure that the original Reiner Ingle was indeed a guy with little ability. This is the real deal.

“I think you’re similar to me.

"

Phyllis shrugged. This action was indeed somewhat similar to that of Reiner. She took two steps, came to Reiner, and grabbed his hand.

Her fingertips passed across her palm, and Phyllis's index finger rested on Reiner's Hohenheim Gold Cup ring.

"We actually have no interest in inheriting the family, and our ambitions are in other places, right?"

There was a strong sense of charm in Phyllis's voice. If it were any other man, he would have gone crazy and become obsessed with it.

But Reiner was unmoved. He did feel affection for the sister in front of him for a moment, but he soon woke up from it.

Charm spells?

Reiner was a little confused. He clearly didn't notice any similar traces. You know, for a fourth-ring mage, ordinary charm spells are like forcing extremely thick makeup on an ordinary face. Generally, it will make the mage feel a certain degree of disharmony, which will make it more prominent.

Magic props, or a higher-level charm spell?

Reiner took a half step back.

"It's true that inheriting the Iain Gray family's fortune isn't important to me, but I don't really like working with other people."

Reiner said that he didn't know the details of Phyllis or what her aspirations were, but after the exchange just now, Reiner felt that this sister was definitely not just a social butterfly.

"Really, what a shame."

There was no regret at all on Phyllis's face. She passed by Reiner and then walked out of the room lightly.

"Secret?"

Reiner murmured to himself, left the reception room, and found Claire under the guidance of the servant.

The funeral in the afternoon was not a grand one. It was basically just a few brothers, sisters and servants of the Iain Gray family. Reiner silently watched the coffin being buried. The sky was clear and cloudless, unlike other funerals where a few drops of rain would accentuate the funeral. Looking at the atmosphere, several relatives present actually had their own concerns and did not have the slightest memory of the deceased Aunt Celia.

It seems that the secrets hidden in Aunt Celia's villa have been known to Raven and Hyrule. Reiner frowned slightly when he saw Hyrule's eyes fixed on the coffin that was gradually buried in the grave.

Aunt Celia's villa must have been carefully searched every corner by the servants. Reiner did not rule out the possibility that his father Winchester hired a mage to use magic to explore, since in this case, no one could be found. , then if the secret is not something beyond people's knowledge, then this thing may not be in the villa.

Reiner is more inclined to the latter. There are so many secret passages and secret rooms in this world. He doesn't think this villa may be made of gold. After all, pure wealth is not enough to make his father Winchester so wealthy. Fei Zhouzhang.

And things that really involve a certain secret will not be left to these juniors.

Once you think about these things clearly, the scope of your search will be much smaller.

After returning to the mansion from the cemetery, Hailar immediately led several of his subordinates into the villa and rummaged around.

Raven did not comment on this, but directly got into his private carriage and drove away.

Phyllis was similar to Raven, except that before leaving, she walked around the backyard of the mansion twice, wondering what she was up to.

Reiner took one look at this quiet villa, then summoned a rental carriage and took Claire into the car.

"Where are we going?"

Claire had already listened to some of Reiner's explanations about the funeral on the way back. She thought she was about to embark on a thrilling treasure hunt like the one in the novel, but she didn't expect Reiner to leave the scene directly.

"Some people use their hands to find things."

Reiner pointed to the villa and motioned to Hylar, who was repeating the work of his predecessors.

"And some people rely on this place to find things."

He tapped Claire's head lightly, and then said to the coachman.

"Please go to the Olmsted City Library."
