Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 37
Branton always felt that the appearance of the castle was quite peaceful as the Duchess survived the disaster of life and death, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging inside.

His sixth sense told him that if he could figure out the contradiction between the two, he could pass the game.

It's just that things don't go as expected, and he is having a hard time alone in the castle.

After a few days of rest, Yuna returned to the castle cage again.

Two days ago, Nansi sent his men and housekeepers to interrogate the girls in the cage one by one.

The girls didn't know Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu well. Although they behaved as a team when they were in the cage, they were wary of each other most of the time and did not want to be the next one to be taken out.

At this time Yuna returned and was unwilling to let these girls go.

It was said to be an interrogation, but it also meant to vent one's emotions.

With her slightly thin body, she squeezed open the half-open iron door of the cage and put her hands on her hips. "It's your honor to be chosen by Madam! I didn't expect that you would have such evil thoughts to hurt Madam! It's simply an unforgivable crime! I I will let you know the consequences of disobeying Madam.”

Yuna's attack was quite vicious, and because the lady was recovering from her injuries and had no need of these girls, she let go even more.

Yuna's torture was more severe than the butler's interrogation, and it went straight to the heartache.

It was the girl who claimed to have been falsely accused of stealing the wife's jewelry who spoke first, "They! They always hide together to discuss in secret!"

Yuna sneered, "You have told the housekeeper all this. It's a pity that you don't know what they said!"

The girl screamed and wailed, "No, no! They will also eavesdrop on your conversations outside the cage.

At night, I still heard a small grinding sound.They changed dramatically after you dragged that girl out..."

After a long time, Yuna came out of the cage still unsatisfied, but she found no new clues.

At this time, a maid came up to Yuna and said hesitantly, "When I was putting away the tableware a few days ago, I found that a few iron spoons were missing."

Yuna's eyes widened slightly and she said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"Things were chaotic at that time, and I forgot about it when I was busy! It wasn't a big deal, and I don't know who took it!" the maid defended herself.

She hurriedly dragged the maid towards the housekeeper's resting place.

Finally, Nance confirmed that the sharp tool the girl used to cut the rope was a sharpened iron spoon.

Because there was a major problem within the castle servants, all servants were jointly and severally responsible for dealing with it.

As usual, Branton went to his wife's bedroom in the middle of the afternoon and read poems to her in his clear voice to relieve her boredom.

After finishing the most important thing of the day, he returned to the guest room and heard whispers while walking in the corridor.

"It's all the trouble they caused, why did they involve us?!"

Brandon raised his eyebrows and stood still, listening attentively.

"The loss of an iron spoon in the cage is a big deal! I think they deliberately blamed the incident on us, and even said they thought we lost the spoon!"

"In the final analysis, it is still a matter of Madam's niece. Wouldn't it be good for Adair to be Madam's lover with peace of mind? Even the Duke has acquiesced."

Branton was shocked... and barely restrained himself from making a sound. "It's so abominable! How can there be so many people and not even a dozen people can look down upon."

"Well, stop talking! If they hear it, some of us will suffer."

When the two servants came out of the corner, they saw Madam's nephew Branton looking at them with a gloomy face. They were surprised and wanted to leave after saying hello.

Brandon stopped them and asked aloud, "What do you mean?! There is a private prison in the castle?!"

"I don't know! You heard me wrong, sir." The two of them didn't listen to what he said, and hurriedly retreated.

Branton finally grasped the key point and did not continue to ask, but returned to the guest room thoughtfully.

Zhou Tang and the other four people went back and forth, going around and around, and finally arrived at Kalai City.

Zhou Tang reluctantly exchanged the sword he picked up for some gold coins and rented a house for several people to live in.

Alice and Adair dressed up a little and went to the place where the rich and nobles gathered in Kalai City to inquire about information, hoping to be lucky enough to meet a noble with the same status as the Duke and use this as a leverage.

Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu, after disguising themselves as men, chose to hang out in low-level pubs, markets and other places, pretending to be drunk and bragging to spread rumors.

"There is a witch in Evari Castle! It is said that the owner of the castle is under control and provides young and beautiful girls for the witches to enjoy. In return, the witch casts magic to keep the owner of the castle young forever." Zhou Tang dressed up as a short and wretched girl. The man has a small mouth and is always talking out loud, as if he won’t stop until he attracts people.

Cheng Mu dressed up as a tall, thin man smelling of alcohol, and violently pulled over the wretched man dressed as Zhou Tang, and they put on a good show together.

"What did you say?!" Cheng Mu was almost in tears, "My sister disappeared in Duke Evari's territory! She said that day that she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and never came back. I looked for her. One year! In one whole year, I traveled all over the territory.”

Zhou Tang felt guilty and pulled Cheng Mu's hand around his neck, overturning his previous remarks, "I, I was talking nonsense! I don't know anything! Let me go."

But the more Zhou Tang denied it, the more people around him believed it was true. One person even said with confused eyes, "My sister entered Evari Castle. There were letters sent out in the past few months, but they have not been sent out in the past few months." According to the news, last month I went to the castle to look for her, and the people in the castle told me that my sister fell ill and passed away."

"Sick?! She can also write a letter to tell her family. She couldn't really be sacrificed to the witch by the owner of the castle, right?"

"Many people had emergencies last month! Your sister must have had an emergency. I think you are quite old. Is your sister still a girl?"

The man said with a dark face, "I am only sixteen years old, and my sister is only two years older than me..."

When the discussion started, Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu quietly left the place and headed to the next place without stopping.

At night, back at their residence, the four of them gathered together to share the results.

Zhou Tang's side is progressing very smoothly. In the large and small markets on the ground floor of Kale City, the story about Evari Castle is spreading like an infectious disease. Everyone also adds their own understanding, making this rumor become More ghostly and thrilling.

Adair affirmed what Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu had done, "We also heard rumors about Evari Castle where upper-class nobles gathered, but this matter was treated as a joke."

Zhou Tang nodded and said, "There will always be someone taking the bait!"

Alice added, "I heard that the Duke of Rhine will arrive in Kalai City tomorrow. The Duke of Rhine and the Duke of Evari never deal with each other! No matter in politics or in dealing with people."

Zhou Tang's eyes lit up, this was the best news recently.
