Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 38 Cooperation?

Duke Lein's carriage entered the city of Kalai in the middle of the night, and was immediately greeted by the housekeeper and servants who had been waiting for a long time.

However, the Duke waved his hand in a low-key manner and got off the carriage on his own. He took off his gloves as he walked and asked, "Did you find out clearly? Have you found the man?"

"Yes, sir, they are in Kalai City."

"Bring them to see me tomorrow."

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of the house where Zhou Tang and the others rented.

At this time, Zhou Tang and others were already dressed and waiting for people to come.

Adair, who had the lowest status among the four, opened the door consciously. Standing outside the door was a man dressed as a knight and said directly, "My master has invited me."

Adair asked in confusion, "Who is your master?"

Before the knight could say anything, Zhou Tang answered, "But Duke Lein?"

"It is His Royal Highness the Duke."

Adair then vaguely remembered that late yesterday afternoon, they found out that a big shot would come to Kalai City today.

Unexpectedly, the big shot sent someone to invite them early this morning? !
Cheng Mu had woken him up earlier and said that someone would come looking for them, but he still didn't believe it. Unexpectedly, they didn't even have breakfast before the people came.

The swiftness of the movement caught him off guard.

The four people piled into the carriage, and the knight outside drove them to the place where the Duke stayed.

In the early morning in Kalai City, the morning light was dim, and the clatter of horse hooves sounded in the streets.

Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination, and the four of them were led into the most luxurious place in Kalai City by the butler waiting at the door.

In the dining room, the butler thoughtfully prepared breakfast, "Sorry, the Duke has something to attend to at the last minute. Please wait here."

Without letting them wait long, Duke Rhine entered the restaurant.

The Duke has an extraordinary temperament, handsome appearance, and every gesture shows the aura of a superior.

Alice, who is proficient in aristocratic etiquette, was the first to stand up and greet the Duke. Zhou Tang and others imitated Alice's attitude in greeting the Duke. Although the etiquette was not standard, they were confident and unrestrained.

Only Adair was a little reluctant and uncomfortable.

The Duke sat down under the steward's service, and he said directly, "I know that you are deliberately spreading rumors about Evari Castle."

Zhou Tang replied, "Your Highness, the stories about Evari Castle are not rumors. They really exist. We choose to speak out boldly because we have been exposed to rain and want to protect other girls from the rain."

Cheng Mu glanced at Zhou Tang thoughtfully.

Adair nodded and agreed with her words, and Alice thought about what she had experienced these days, from being a noble lady to being a slandered missing person, unable to return to her home, like a rootless duckweed drifting with the tide, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red. , the corners of the eyes are moist.

"Oh?" The Duke's eyes suddenly turned to Alice, "Then Miss Gumenet, can you tell me why you want to expose your uncle and aunt?" Alice was startled, and her eyes suddenly blurred.

The housekeeper handed her a handkerchief. Alice wiped the corners of her eyes to calm down and did not deny her identity. "Since His Highness the Duke knows my origin, he should also know that I have disappeared! Maybe he has heard even more ridiculous remarks. I He eloped with the guards around Duchess Evari."

Adair interjected from the side, "I am the miserable guard."

The Duke didn't even look at Adair, but only looked at Alice. She continued, "Adair is also the duchess's lover. Adair and I got involved unintentionally, and the lady hated me very much because of it. After catching the adulterer, After that, Madam chose to use Adair and me to stage a show to confuse the world.”

Adair felt that he needed to defend himself, "I was personally selected by the Duke of Evari to be his wife's lover. And I have no superfluous thoughts about Alice. I just want to save her and escape from the castle."

Alice slowly and softly told what she had experienced. She was very sad, "The Duchess has cut off my escape. I can never go home again! No, she never wanted to let me go." , she wanted to kill me and use my blood to nourish her skin. They saved me."

Duke Rhine felt the true feelings shown by Alice, and the noble lady was obviously forced into helplessness.

The housekeeper promptly brought a glass of hot milk to ease Alice's bad mood.

Zhou Tang continued, "The Duchess of Evari believes in the evil methods of wizards and constantly persecutes the girls in the territory. She believes that the blood of girls can keep her young forever. She even reached out to the noble lady."

"Well, what does this have to do with me?" The Duke's calm voice was full of ruthlessness.

"His Royal Highness the Duke came to us, which shows that we are still useful. It is said that Duke Evari has a hot temper and advocates using force to solve things. He has been at odds with your politics for a long time. And we are your weapon to bring him down."

The Duke sneered and said, "You? Although I am at odds with him, what you said does not pose a threat to him. Otherwise, he would not allow his wife to act as she pleases."

The people under the Duke of Rhine had already found out about the unrest inside Evari Castle, but how could the lives of a few commoner girls compare to those of the nobles?
Zhou Tang shook his head and said mysteriously, "There are also a large number of forbidden books hidden in Evari Castle, including many magic books written by wizards. The Duchess has become an out-and-out witch for her own selfish desires.

The Duke who spent time with the witch became bloodthirsty, regardless of the safety of the country, and just wanted to kill on the battlefield for pleasure. How can such a person compare to you? "

The Duke gave Zhou Tang a meaningful look.

Zhou Tang continued, "We have already exposed the duchess's evil deeds and pointed out the direction for everyone. Why don't His Highness add fuel to the fire to make this drama louder.

Common people are sometimes like nothing, but when great power is gathered, the monarch is also afraid.And no prince can endure power that is not under his control.The power of wizards must never touch the supreme power. "

Duke Rhine couldn't help but stretch out his hands to applaud. The girl in front of him seemed to be more like a lady from a noble family than Alice, and her words were more to the point.

He asked, "What do you want?"

Adair replied anxiously, "We just want to save the girls who are trapped in the castle! There is a hidden prison there, which holds more than a dozen people. Some of these people were robbed by guards pretending to be bandits, and some were tricked into entering the castle...even It is the most beautiful flower field in the castle, and there are also layers of remains buried there.”

This was what Zhou Tang Cheng Mu told Adair. Adair went from fear to anger, and Alice no longer hesitated.

The Duke smiled playfully, "That's all?"

Zhou Tang was very calm, "We just want our lives to return to normal. After all, you, the Duke, are the most suitable person to be in charge of the country."
