120: Chapter 120 Alice's Doll Tea Party 13

The entire 5th Floor of the castle was a gorgeously decorated banquet hall; on the ceiling, a massive crystal chandelier shone brilliantly, with countless tiny rays of light scattering like stars, illuminating the entire space in a resplendent glow.

The surrounding walls were adorned with exquisite reliefs, their delicate patterns appearing and disappearing under the lights, showcasing a noble atmosphere.

There were also quite a few paintings hanging on the walls.

The long table, draped in red velvet, was filled with various desserts, and there was also a six-tiered wine tower.

Fresh, vibrant flowers and flickering candlesticks were interspersed among them.

In the center of the hall was a circular dance floor, with the ground paved in solid wood flooring.

However, there were also a few guest rooms along the edges that were likely for guests to rest in, and the Little Girl with a Crown had entered one of them.

Luo Yuejian walked up to a wall hung with a huge painting to admire it.

The figures depicted in this painting happened to number six.

Luo Yuejian had originally speculated whether the people in this portrait represented the identities of the six players?

After all, it was visible to the naked eye that there were two females and four males in the painting.

However, the clothes worn by the people in the portrait were identical, and she could only barely discern their height, build, and gender, which made it difficult for her to tell exactly who was depicted.

She herself had no appreciation for art; looking at these portraits, she could only tell that none of the figures had faces, and she couldn't make out anything else specific.

Still, she could at least feign interest and kill some time.

A quarter of an hour later, the Little Girl with a Crown walked out of the room.

She looked at Luo Yuejian, her expression not as tense as when she had first come upstairs, and she raised the envelope in her hand and smiled, "Shall we exchange clues?"

Luo Yuejian couldn't help but want to wipe the sweat from her brow; what kind of clues could she possibly have?

She had just been staring blankly at this painting, still calculating how she could hint to the Little Girl with a Crown that her mission was to take her out...

But at this moment, Luo Yuejian couldn't very well say she hadn't found anything; after all, having wandered around the 5th Floor for so long, it would be easy to be taken for a fool if she hadn't found a single clue.

Although she really wasn't a smart person, she still cared about her reputation...

She could die, but she couldn't suffer social death...

Luo Yuejian racked her brain, still thinking about how to deal with this Little Girl with a Crown, but the Little Girl with a Crown, seeing that Luo Yuejian remained silent, clearly assumed she had agreed.

She then very straightforwardly handed the pocket watch in her hand to Luo Yuejian and explained, "This is something I just found in that room.

Although that room was a guest room, judging by the furniture and decorations inside, it should be a guest room exclusively for the Old Duke to rest."

In fact, the Little Girl with a Crown's judgment that the guest room was exclusively for the Old Duke to rest was not based on any furniture or decorations.

After all, it wasn't a girl's room, where there might be things like cosmetics.

Could it be that there might be dentures in the Old Duke's guest room?

She had discovered two letters from the Old Duke in that guest room, which was how she determined it might be the Old Duke's exclusive guest room.

However, of those two letters, she kept the one she felt was profitable and only handed the other letter to Luo Yuejian.

Luo Yuejian hadn't even said anything yet, and a clue had already been shoved into her hand.

She opened the letter, looking completely bewildered, and glanced at it twice.

This was a letter written to the Old Duke by someone else, with no signature, and the content was just three simple words— "Found it."

Found what?

Luo Yuejian looked at the letter in her hand, completely confused.

In fact, the Little Girl with a Crown was precisely because she couldn't figure out what the three words on the letter meant that she wanted to find Luo Yuejian.

She wanted to see if Luo Yuejian had any information that could decipher the content of this letter.

But unfortunately, Luo Yuejian was also completely in the dark right now and knew nothing.

This time she shook her head very straightforwardly, not intending to put on an act.

The main thing was that, apart from the opening, there were only three words in this letter; who the hell would know what that meant besides the people involved?

Seeing Luo Yuejian shake her head, the Little Girl with a Crown did not show any disappointment; after all, she was just trying her luck.

Most importantly, she hoped to exchange information she didn't need for the news Luo Yuejian knew.

Luo Yuejian had taken the opportunity just now to rack her brain, and finally came up with a clue that, while not very useful, was at least something she had observed.

That was the huge oil painting in front of them, where the faces of the people were all blank.

Luo Yuejian's thought was that the faces on this oil painting were blank, clearly because this oil painting couldn't pre-paint the players' faces, which was why they were blank.

She didn't really have any specific ideas, but this at least counted as a rather special situation she had observed, which was why she pointed it out now.

Thinking of this, she brazenly pointed to the oil painting, thinking to herself, "Sorry," as she really hadn't found any other useful information...

The Little Girl with a Crown looked in the direction Luo Yuejian was pointing and saw the huge oil painting.

Because the area of the oil painting was truly too vast, occupying almost half the wall, the Little Girl with a Crown wasn't sure exactly where Luo Yuejian was pointing.

However, her first glance still caught the blurred faces on the oil painting.

But in reality, in the field of oil painting, blurring faces is a very common artistic technique.

It might mainly be to guide the audience to focus on the inner spirit of the painted figures, breaking away from traditional painting styles.

The White-haired Girl couldn't possibly be trying to tell her that these blank oil painting faces actually corresponded to each player's face, could she?

The Little Girl with a Crown couldn't help but laugh at her own foolish thought just now; with the White-haired Girl's terrifying strength, how could she just be trying to tell her something so simple and obvious at a glance?

Therefore, there must be some other clue on this oil painting that she hadn't noticed.

The Little Girl with a Crown frowned slightly and carefully examined the oil painting, but for a moment, she really couldn't discover anything from this oil painting.

After all, this oil painting was truly too huge; if she were to carefully observe every single part, it would probably take quite a bit of time.

In order not to waste time, the Little Girl with a Crown directly and respectfully asked Luo Yuejian: "I don't have the keen observation skills you do and can't discover what the problem is with this oil painting in a short time. Could you point out directly where the problem with this oil painting lies?"
