Chapter 65: Intricacies
Following Rowe, she and Alex wander through the castle, and soon find Earl Rex's confidant, Fore Richard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When they found him, the chief butler seemed to be giving orders to several stewards of no low status, seeing that Luo hurriedly ran over, as if he was in a hurry to find him, the chief steward's expression did not change much, but finally ordered the stewards a few words, waved them to leave, and then turned his head to look at Luo.
"What's wrong, Ro, what's wrong?"
Faure Richard's voice was a little hoarse, but with a calmness that could make people feel reassuring, which made Luo's anxious mood calm down a little. As he spoke, he glanced up at the others who were following Luo, and seemed a little strange how the two trainee maids could come with Luo.
This is an old man in his sixties, with brown hair and blue eyes, but his eyes are very clear, without the slightest cloudy old age. Although he is the chief butler of Count Rex, he has great power, but the clothes on his body are not luxurious, and he still looks like a strict servant steward, meticulous, and can give people a feeling of great trust.
"Yes, Fore......"
Along the way, Luo's breathing was a little short, but before the personal maid could finish speaking, someone behind her knocked the poor little beauty unconscious with a knife.
"Alexie!"
At the moment when she did it, she also reminded a certain magical girl to make a move through a psychic connection, so that this little girl could cast a spiritual domination magic.
"Hmph, don't command me casually, stupid Natsu!"
Alexie's voice came from the other end of the psychic connection, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but the magical girl did not disappoint her, and took a step forward to stand in front of the Faure Richard, and then, the eyes turned with a strange black and purple light.
Not surprisingly, Ford Richard, who was just an ordinary person, couldn't resist the spiritual power of a magician at all, and his clear eyes suddenly fell into confusion and sluggishness.
On the other hand, she just gently supported Lo's body, quickly and carefully placed the poor maid flat on the ground, and then, she turned and closed the door of this room, completely blocking the view from the outside.
The whole process took less than a few seconds, and even the stewards who had just walked out of the room did not notice the changes in the room, and continued to walk forward without knowing it, until they disappeared at the corner of the corridor.
"What's your name?"
Alexie's voice rang out in the room, with a certain seductive aura.
She glanced up, and after realizing that Butler Fall Richard was completely controlled by the 'Mind Domination' magic, she didn't care about Alexie's side, instead focusing most of her attention on the surroundings, and further out of the room, lest anyone happen to find out about the situation.
Soon, after the first few simple questions to disintegrate the psychological defenses, Alexie turned the core of the question to the trail of a certain thief leader, and asked the Grand Butler of Fore, "Fall Richard, do you know the Daybreak Thieves?"
"It's... Yes, that's us... Albs Collar ... A... The Thieves ......"
Fore Richard sat in his chair, his hands hanging limply over the edge of the chair, his expression a little stunned, answering Alexie's question intermittently.
"Who is the leader of this group of thieves?" asked Alexie again.
"The Thieves... The head of the regiment... Call... Allan... Dicard ......, "Sure enough, Richard Ford knew the identity of the leader of a certain bandit group and told his name.
Alan DiCar?
Hearing this name, her heart moved, and she was a little relieved. Because, this answer happened to match the name she learned from the mouth of the deputy head of Erwin, so it can be seen that the previous deputy head of Erwin did not lie, and their 'head Allen' may indeed have come to Count Rex's castle.
Tsk, fortunately, the news I brought back was not wrong, otherwise, I would be really sorry for a certain little girl!
"Where's Alan DiCar?"
Alexie's expression did not change, and her tone remained unchanged as she asked the informed butler.
"No... I don't know ......."
However, for Alexie's question, Ford Richard was completely unaware of it, and actually gave such an answer.
I don't know?
How can this be...... Could it be that the strange man that Miss Lilman had seen the night before yesterday and had been taken by the butler to see Count Rex was not Alan DiCarr?
Not... Or is the other party already gone, so the Ford Richard butler doesn't know where he's gone?
Sure enough, Alexie's brows furrowed slightly, and after a little thought, she asked the butler again, "Who is the man you took to see Count Rex the night before yesterday?"
"...... Khajette Wolf"
As a result, Faure Richard came up with a name they had never heard of.
Belch... Kajette Wolf?
Who is this? Who is this sacred? Could it be that Miss Lilman who has mistaken someone? What kind of weird person is she talking about, in fact, is not the leader of some group of thieves at all?
Not...... Is the information wrong?!
The only explanation she could think of was this possibility.
Hearing this answer, Alex ignored who the Khajit Wolf was, apparently having nothing to do with what they were looking for.
"So, Alan DiCarr, has he visited you Count Rex lately?"
The black-purple light in the eyes of a certain magical girl was even worse, and it seemed to strengthen the power of magic, and asked Richard Fall.
"No... There is no ......"
However, Fall Richard's unthinking answer caught both her and Alex by surprise.
What, haven't been to Count Rex's castle? Is there such a thing?
Could it be that the Deputy Head of Elwin she met in the Mundra Valley was really lying, trying to lure her here and use the hand of Count Rex against her?
Tut...... This is a deception with life!
Her eyebrows went up, but she didn't know whether to praise the other person or be angry that she had been deceived by this thing. However, that Deputy Head of Erwin had already died under the blood line, and even if she wanted to do something now, it was probably fine.
No, there is another possibility!
Perhaps, the deputy head of Erwin, he is not lying, but Alan Dicard, the leader of the thieves group, even lied to his own people, right?
Yes, that's right, this possibility also exists!
It is quite possible that the leader of the thieves regiment only excused himself by saying that he was going to Count Rex's castle, but in fact, he went somewhere else that even the two deputy captains did not know?
Soon, she thought of this possibility in her mind again, but it was only a guess, and it could not confirm its authenticity.
Alexie's thoughts weren't as complicated as this one's, and for her, it just ruled out a possibility.
Because, if the head of Alan Dicarr hadn't been here, then obviously, the theft of the Dream Crown probably had little to do with Count Rex, and they were looking for the wrong person.
Although a magical girl thought that this was a possibility, just in case, or if the butler didn't know about the secret at all, she continued to ask a few questions about Count Rex and the Daybreak Thieves in order to confirm their relationship.
As Alex asked, and Faure Richard's answers, the truth of the matter soon emerged.
It turned out that Count Rex really didn't have much to do with the Daybreak Thieves, perhaps it should be said that Count Rex was not actually a strong lord, he was afraid of a certain big man behind the Daybreak Thieves, so he allowed this notorious thief group to run amok in his own territory, and did not dare to send troops to encircle and suppress it.
More than a month ago, that is, during the theft of the Dream Crown, the Earl of Rex also went to negotiate with the head of Alan Dicar, and after some discussion, he reluctantly retrieved part of the original goods for the little nobleman, and took back the family treasure of the little nobleman. Count Rex's behavior made the little nobleman so grateful to him that he swore to be loyal to the Rex family forever.
Moreover, this Count Rex also has extraordinary talents in government affairs, and has governed the Arbs Lordship in an orderly manner, the economy is prosperous, and the people are rich, so many commoners are very fond of this lord......
Hearing this, she and Alex were a little speechless, and after glancing at each other, they directly knocked the butler of Fall Richard unconscious, making him lose consciousness like a poor little beauty, one sitting, the other lying, and suffered a unjustified meal for no reason.
Not...... Perhaps, these two people are not the only ones who suffered, right?
Thinking of the situation that a pair of hard-working underground mandarin ducks might face, she touched her face unnaturally, not knowing what to say.
Well, the disaster of no reason, the disaster of no reason!
Someone said a few words silently in his heart, but he had no intention of resolving these misunderstandings.
Then, she and Alex returned to the maid's room, changed the apprentice maid disguise, and restored her original clothes, and the whole person was wrapped in the Mist Cloak.
"Xia, wait a minute, we'll meet in the city. ”
After Alexie dropped such a sentence, there was a murmur of a spell in her mouth, and then, the black and purple light flashed all over the magical girl's body, and the whole person disappeared into the room, presumably using teleportation magic to flash people directly.
Tsk, what a merciless guy, sell teammates!
Looking at a certain girl who disappeared without a trace, the corners of her mouth twitched, quite speechless.
However, magic is really more convenient, if only I could learn it myself......
She thought with some envy in her heart, but she had to be prepared to rely on her own skills to sneak out of this castle.
Well, just be careful to avoid those patrolling guards, as for the city walls or something, with the help of the bloodline condensation, they can't stop themselves at all.
She was still very confident in her new ability, and after a little memory in her heart, she drew up a route to leave, and then, she opened the door and looked left and right a few times, and when she saw that there was no one, she walked out.
However, before she could reach the corner of the corridor, she noticed that a group of heavily armed men and horses were rushing towards the room of the trainee maid, and among them, the one who was at the forefront was a certain Richard's chief of the guard, who had been miserably pitted by her......
