Nightmare Card House

It was an hour later when I returned to the castle where Bray lived.

From a distance, Fang Tian saw a crowd of people outside the castle.

They looked a little unfamiliar, and they didn't seem to be His Highness Bray's men.

I hadn't heard of any action from Bray before, and Fang Tian thought that this guy had learned his lesson, and was a little relieved. Seeing so many people gathered at the gate of the castle, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Fang Tian! You are finally back!" Seeing Fang Tian coming back, the old steward Pete who had been following Bray was very happy. As if he had found the backbone, he hurried forward and grabbed Fang Tian, ​​"Mr. Fang Tian, ​​you are finally back, it's really..."

"What's wrong with them?"

Fang Tian glanced at the young people who were carrying items into the boxes on the carriage.

These young people were busy loading the goods. Fang Tian felt that these goods looked a little familiar, as if he had seen them in the castle before.

Strange, where are Hobson's men? So many people are carrying supplies here. Even if Hobson is not here, his men should be here to maintain order.

"They are apprentices of the alchemy workshop in the city. Now is not the time to talk about these things." Pate carefully glanced at these people, then lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Fang Tian, ​​please follow me. I have something to say to you alone."

It is certain that Bray must have caused some trouble again.

Fang Tian sighed in his heart and followed Pate into the castle.

Leading Fang Tian into a utility room, Pate carefully looked outside the door and then closed the door.

"What happened?"

Pate knelt in front of Fang Tian with a snap, and his eyes were a little wet for a moment, "Please save my master, Mr. Fang Tian."

"Damn it! That idiot!" Fang Tian clenched his fists and his tone became cold, "What trouble has he caused again!"

"He, he disappeared..." Pate stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, "He ran away by himself."

"This useless thing." Fang Tian secretly hated Bray's uselessness and said in a deep voice: "Why did he run away?"

"It was Lord Versailles."

Pate sighed in his heart and told everything that happened before.

Fang Tian listened carefully to everything.

Generally speaking, Lord Versailles invited Bray to the military camp to review the garrison in the city yesterday. It seemed that he took the opportunity to intimidate Bray in private. Unexpectedly, this guy was so easily frightened that he ran away directly when no one was paying attention last night.

With a master like Bray, Pate didn't know what he had done in his previous life that was so irritating.

"I just got the news. I realized something was wrong after Ms. Lanqi from the alchemy workshop brought the sales agreement signed by His Highness. When I went to find His Highness, I found that he was gone." Pete said self-pityingly, "I'm wrong. There was something wrong with His Highness Bray after he came back yesterday. I should have discovered it earlier."

"Sales agreement? What is this?"

"The people outside just now are all alchemy apprentices from the alchemy workshop. His Highness Bray signed an agreement with them yesterday. They spent a sum of money to buy all the items in our castle in a package. The total price is three purple gold coins."

Fang Tian was a little surprised.

He didn't know much about the monetary system of this world. Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in his mind. Three purple crystal coins, is it expensive?

"Mr. Fang Tian!" Pete knelt on the ground. "Mr. Fang Tian, ​​His Highness Bray must have been threatened by Lord Versailles, so he packed up and sold all the valuable things in the castle to the alchemy workshop, and then ran away privately with the advance purple crystal coins."

No wonder so many apprentices from the alchemy workshop came outside, it turned out that they were here to move things.

As an heir to the empire, he was so stupid that he ran away after being threatened casually. Fang Tian didn't know what to say for a while, and he was a little angry.

"Mr. Hobson has taken people to chase him after learning about this. I hope he can bring good news."

Fang Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. He was delayed for a few days, and encountered bad news as soon as he came back. It was really troublesome.

If Bray left the castle early in the morning, or even earlier, and slipped away directly when it was dark last night, and tried to avoid him, it would be difficult for Hobson to catch up.

Just thinking about it, there was a noisy sound outside again.

Pete's eyes lit up, "Could it be that Mr. Hobson is back?"

Fang Tian pursed his lips at Pete, motioning him to stand up and go outside to take a look.

Pete nodded and walked quickly.

Outside, at the gate of the castle, a group of soldiers surrounded the entire castle.

The apprentices of the alchemy workshop were also trapped in it, so a dispute broke out between the two sides.

"Why don't you let us leave! I need a reason!"

"This is the order of Lord Versailles."

A young officer walked out from the soldiers, holding a spear, with a bit of murderous aura between his eyebrows, "Also, all the things in the boxes must be sealed for the time being!"

"We are apprentices of the alchemy workshop and should be protected by the principality! Lord Versailles has no right to restrict our freedom, let alone seal our belongings!" A beautiful woman with long golden curly hair and high-heeled boots stood out from behind the alchemy apprentice, "We will not hand over the goods! Let Lord Versailles come to see us in person."

The other apprentices of the alchemy workshop stood behind her one by one, looking like they were determined to defend the goods to the death.

Officer Fern did not expect that these people in the alchemy workshop would be so difficult to deal with. Just as he was about to say something, Pate walked out of the castle and saw a group of people gathered outside. He hurried forward, "Are you crazy! This is the heir to the empire. His Highness Bray's castle! You broke into it privately..."

"Shut up!" Officer Fern shouted: "His Royal Highness Bray is missing, and all of you are suspicious! According to Lord Versailles' request, everyone must be brought back to the military camp for interrogation! The same goes for the apprentices in the alchemy workshop!"

Hearing this, Pate's face suddenly turned pale, and even the apprentices in the alchemy workshop stopped arguing for a while.

His Highness is missing? This is a big event!

Pat's mind went blank for a moment.

Damn it, how did they know His Highness Bray was missing? And it came so quickly?

Could it be that...

His Highness Bray has fallen into their hands?

When he thought that Bray might have killed his poisonous hand, Pate immediately felt his legs weaken and almost knelt down.

An extremely strong hand behind his back lifted Peter up.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Fang Tian said, standing up from behind Pate, "Did Lord Versailles ask you to come? Who told you that His Highness Bray is missing?"
