Chapter 85: Disappearance (II)
There was no one in the dining-room, the fire was burning weakly, dinner was ready, knives and forks were neatly laid out on the table, but the chairs were still in the table, and they were not drawn.
Horrary, Loras hurriedly stepped forward, and he found that the food on the table was already cold, and it seemed that someone had prepared it beforehand.
Ellie sighed, and she found a piece of Mithril paper folded in half leaning against the candle flame in the center of the table, reached out and picked it up, and said, "Brother, what is this?"
"Show me. Loras took the Mithril paper and spread it out on the table.
I saw four lines of delicate characters written on the milky white Mithril paper - "I have set out to the border to find the whereabouts of Firin, and Aven will take care of your safety during this time."
Please tell Rodlis for me, don't be nervous when you take the strength test, with his current strength is enough to pass easily.
Don't read it, Rosie Fisdal. ”
Loras looked at the message on the Mithril paper in disbelief and muttered, "Miss Rosie, did she go to find Filin?" He was puzzled by the girl's behavior, Filin had only been gone for more than a month, what made her suddenly make such a decision?
Ellie's heart moved, and she was also a girl, and she had vaguely guessed Rosie's thoughts. Combined with Rosie's previous reactions in front of Film, which seemed strange to others, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had a special affection for Film.
"Could it be that Miss Rosie's real reason for going to the border is to meet Lord Shiloh?" Loras offered her guess, and Ellie couldn't help but laugh.
Loras has been focused on improving her strength, and obviously has no specific concept of the relationship between men and women, so naturally she can't guess Rosie's true thoughts about leaving.
"Let's stop guessing, let's eat something first. Loras nodded, then leaned down to make room for Ellie.
After a long day's work, the two of them were already hungry and couldn't stand it.
He sat down across from Ellie, picked up the browned potatoes from the plate, opened his mouth and took a bite of them. Loras frowned slightly, the cold food made him a little uncomfortable.
The girl cut a sausage in half, forked one of it and put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and drank the red wine from the goblet.
Ellie looked up at the other side, only to see Loras staring at her, her eyes full of smiles. The girl was slightly surprised, because Loras's expression at the moment was something she had never seen before.
"Ellie, congratulations on being recognized as a third-order archer!" Loras said excitedly, raising his glass to his face, and the girl raised her goblet as well, the glass clashing with a crisp sound.
"It's been almost half a year since we left Willow. Loras remembered the early morning when the four of them had just set off from Vero, and her heart was filled with emotion.
"Yes, brother, you've gotten a lot stronger!" Ellie Qingli also had a happy smile on her face.
"It's a pity that Filin isn't here, if he knows the good news, he will be proud of you!" Loras's tone became a little sad, after all, Filin's leaving Grande alone was not exciting news for them.
Ellie's expression froze, and she felt as if she had been stabbed by something sharp inside, and there was an indescribable heart stopper. It had been nearly two months since Fei Lin left the imperial capital, but there was no news about him.
"No wonder Miss Rosie would go north to look for Film, if it were herself, maybe she would too?" thought to herself.
She couldn't help but feel a little shy about her thoughts, maybe it was because she didn't have the courage of Rosie to express her emotions.
It wasn't long before the two of them had dinner and the servant brought a steaming cup of coffee. Ellie was silent, looking down on her thoughts. Loras stared at the pendulum clock on the wall in a daze, feeling like he had forgotten something.
"By the way, Rodrith!" Loras suddenly shouted, and the girl immediately looked up.
"I haven't seen anyone else since I came back, Miss Rosie went to the border to look for Filin, did that guy go with her?"
"Probably not... Maybe you can practice magic in an open space in the backyard. Ellie disagrees with his statement, because judging from the Mithril letter left by Rosie, Rodrith should have stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Let's go find out!" said Loras, who seemed anxious, and got up and walked to the door of the dining room.
——
It's the depths of winter, and everywhere is a dilapidated and desolate look. Even the most common dream flowers and plants gradually withered under the invasion of frost and cold, and the flourishing camphor began to wither.
The southern part of the continent, south of the Ganges, shows a depressing atmosphere, and in this season of falling leaves, it seems that everything is covered with a cold coat.
The two took the torches off the walls of the cloister and went to the open space in the backyard.
The clearing was pitch black, and there was not a single figure in sight. "Why isn't he there?" asked Loras, surprised.
Ellie was also confused at the moment, because she really couldn't think of where Rodrith would go alone.
"What can I do now?" said the girl with a worried expression. "He shouldn't have run out of the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, could it be someone from the Thundering Knights who came here?"
Loras shook his head and said, "I don't think Charlie should be bold enough to send someone directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion and take Rodlis away." ”
"Let's go ask the two guards at the door. Loras waved at Ellie, and the two of them walked towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
There were very few servants in the prime minister's palace, and basically all they needed to do was prepare food and clean the room. One is that Shiloh himself disdains the slavery of the aristocracy, and he hates the shameless act of exploiting ordinary people for profit.
The two are because he is the patriarch of the Fisdal family and is known as the highest holy mage in the Starfall Continent. With his own strength, it is difficult for anyone to pose a threat to him. What's more, there are many strong people in the family, and the young Rosie is a once-in-a-century magic genius, so she doesn't have to worry about the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion at all.
However, since the four of Rodlis lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the manpower seemed to be a little insufficient. However, Shiloh is usually busy with affairs and has no time to take care of idle matters, and now he has gone to the battlefield thousands of miles away to stabilize the situation, leaving everything to Rosie to manage.
Rosie also left Grande for the border, and the Prime Minister's Mansion did not have a necessary butler.
In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, the only ones who have combat ability are the two second-level swordsmen at the door who only know how to gag all day long.
Loras holds a torch in her left hand and Ellie in her right hand.
"My lord, do you still want to go out so late?" asked one of the tall and lanky guards, seeing the two of them approaching the door.
Loras and the others were Shiloh's guests, so the servants and guards were respectful to them, but every time they heard someone call themselves like that, they felt awkward.
Loras shook his head and said, "Have you seen Rodrith?"
When the guard heard this, he immediately exchanged glances with the Humpty Dumpty man opposite, and then replied, "Lord Rhodelis didn't go out today, did something happen?"
