Chapter 239 Manipulation
"Ugh..." An unnatural blush appeared on the baby Hermann's wrinkled face, and then he began to burp, and even a faint gray mist came out of his mouth.

The maid just now was no longer trembling, but began to pick up the dirty clothes in the cradle naturally. Her eyes were now grayish white, and as the grayish white airflow continued to dissipate, pupils reappeared in the maid's eyes, and she looked no different from before.

But if you look closely, you can find that there is a slight change in the pupils of this maid. In her black and gray pupils, there seems to be something slowly wriggling.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, young madam." The maid saluted respectfully. When she took the first step, she felt a little confused. She tilted her head, feeling as if she had forgotten something. But soon the maid felt a familiar memory. She blinked gently and quickly thought of many things.

"She is a maid in the Mondok family. She is going to the laundry room now..." When the maid thought of this, she quickly picked up the clothes and walked out the door.

But she herself didn't realize that when she passed through the corridor, she chose a path that was a little further away from the laundry room.

"Ouch..." When she walked to the door of a room, the maid was thinking about what she had just been distracted about, so she didn't look at the road and twisted her ankle and almost fell.

Fortunately, she maintained a pretty good balance. Although her body was shaking, she was very lucky not to fall down in the end.

"Thank the Mother God. If Mrs. Conmill had seen this, I would definitely be punished, right?" The maid muttered in her heart with relief. She quickened her pace as if she had done something guilty, but she didn't notice that her action had caused a baby toy to fall.

The baby toy made of cloth lay quietly in the corner of the room, and the eyes made of buttons looked straight to the side.

……

“It’s so strange… The Mondok family is so normal.” Lucian continued to observe while dealing with the children around him.

He had even confirmed through further [mind reading] that there were three players among the group of children, but these players were all visiting guests and were not members of the Mondok family at all.

“Lula, you will play the role of the Countess later!” Daya handed a rag doll to Lucian, and then she looked at him with her black eyes, “You seem a little unhappy today?”

“No, no…” Lucian didn’t know why, but when Daya’s eyes were fixed on him, he suddenly felt a little creepy.

He subconsciously tilted his head back, but found nothing. That creepy feeling seemed to be just a misjudgment on his part.

"what happened?"

“No…it’s okay.” Lucian felt a little guilty. He glanced around but didn’t know what to say. He even had no idea how to break the impasse next.

While dealing with the group of children somewhat absentmindedly, he quickly recalled the information about Chaos Goblins and Goblin Priests in his mind.

Lucian already had a relatively clear understanding of the information about the Chaos Goblins, but the information about the Goblin sacrifices, even recorded by Hercules, was rather vague.

After all, this is a special creature comparable to a god, and even the simplest information is not easy to obtain.

In the message Hercules gave to Lucian, there was only one sentence about the ability of the goblin priest, which was that he had the special abilities of "distortion" and "control." "Distortion and control... Such general terms don't sound like abilities at all, but more like a concept..."

Lucian's understanding of the powerful gods was very limited. It was difficult for him to classify these powerful people into a clear level, so his understanding of goblin sacrifices could only be guessed from these few words.

In Lucian's understanding, control is relatively easy to understand. For example, there are some schools related to control in the wizarding world. For example, the necromancer wizard can control some undead creatures to fight. For example, the "manipulator" school among mechanical wizards also has the ability to manipulate various mechanical creations to fight.

However, the concept of distortion made Lucian feel a little confused. The last time he heard this word, it seemed to come from the Hell Blood Serpent and the Crimson Page.

The ability of the Crimson Page is more inclined towards "pollution" and "assimilation", and it can assimilate some flesh and blood creatures into some kind of hell product. Distortion is just a by-product of the pollution and assimilation process.

But according to this logic, the "distortion" ability should refer to some kind of abnormal transformation of objects or organisms?
Lucian was worried. He always felt that the unexplainable abnormality inside the Mondok family mansion must have an unexplainable connection with the goblin sacrifice.

But perhaps it was the huge gap between the levels that made him only feel many abnormalities, but he could not detect any specific problems.

This feeling made him extremely irritated, as if he could hear the buzzing sound of a mosquito flapping its wings in the dark, and even feel the mosquito folding its wings, landing on him, and lying on his skin. But when he raised his hand to attack, the mosquito flapped its wings and flew away, and he could not even find any trace of it.

“You guys continue playing first, I… I’m going to the bathroom.” Lucian covered his stomach and pretended to be in a hurry to pee.

Having said that, without waiting for Daya to say anything, Lucian trotted out.

"Miss!" Behind him, the two maids who were in charge of looking after them called him softly.

Lucian pretended not to hear and rushed forward. Although this action might seem a bit rude, it was his attempt to get rid of the "invisible arrangement".

After all, with the excuse of "urgent need to pee" and his identity as a child, he now has an excuse to rush into any room.

But the next moment Lucian's eyes dimmed slightly, because just as he rushed out the door, he happened to meet a maid who was carrying fruit.

“Miss, please slow down.” The maid looked at Lucian and, before he could respond, she smiled and said in a gentle and polite voice, “The bathroom is at the back, just go straight. How about… I take you there first?”

As she spoke, she put the fruit plate aside, bent down slightly and extended a hand toward Lucian.

“Thank…thank you.” Lucian sighed helplessly in his heart, but he could only stop obediently.

He raised his head and used his [Mind Reading] talent to look at the maid.

“That’s normal.” Lucian’s heart was cold. At this moment, he felt like a puppet being manipulated by someone.
