Chapter 262: Shocking Change!
Gervais quickly returned to the banquet hall, and when he came to the hall, Gervais looked around but did not see Alice's figure, which couldn't help but make Gervais frown, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Gervais quickly returned to the door of the hall and asked the manservant on duty, "Did you see Alice, where did she go?" ”
Seeing that Gervais's tone was a little eager, the servant did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Lord Gervais, Lord Count walked out of the banquet hall just before you left!" It seems that Steward Lina has something to do with the earl, but the villain doesn't know where he went! ”
"Oh!"
The manmaid's answer made Gervais relax a little, since he was walking with Lina, there should be no problem, if Alice was going with someone else, Gervais would be even more worried.
But relax is relaxed, for the conversation he just heard, Gervais still attaches great importance to it, and in any case, he must inform Alice as soon as possible, so Gervais came to the corridor again and ran towards the third floor.
Lina must have something important to discuss with Alice, and Gervais estimated that they should go to the study on the third floor, where Alice usually deals with Jones's affairs.
When he reached the third floor, Gervais was confronted by Lina, who was not alone, but was followed by two guards and four male servants.
"Lina, what's wrong? What about Alice? ”
Seeing the two guards behind Lina, Gervais frowned slightly, knowing that under normal circumstances, guards are not allowed to enter the inner castle, let alone the third floor, where Alice's bedroom and study are located.
"Lord Gervais, why are you here!"
Seeing Gervais's eager pace, Lina first asked, and then answered Gervais.
"Lord Gervais, just now Grand Commander Rohr reported that a servant in the corner of the vestibule was knocked unconscious, so I brought someone up to check, Lord Alice has already checked in the vestibule with Grand Commander Rohr."
"Someone knocked unconscious?"
Gervais was shocked, and immediately thought of what he had just encountered, and determined that someone must want to do something in Rose Castle tonight.
"Lina! I've got some things to do with Alice, you get busy with yours first! ”
Gervais did not mention to Lina what he had heard in the hallway, and now Gervais felt that there was a huge conspiracy looming over Rose Castle, and the people in Rose Castle, except for Alice, Gervais would not trust anyone for the time being.
"Yes, Lord Gervais!"
Although Lina thought that Gervais was a little strange tonight, she didn't think much of it, answered, and then watched Gervais run downstairs.
Instead of going directly to the vestibule to find Alice, Gervais returned to his room, grabbed his weapon, and put chain mail on his gown.
As for Pi Armor Gervais, he didn't wear it, because there were too many guests in the castle tonight, and he didn't know whether his guessed plot was accurate or not, so he reacted too aggressively so as not to cause panic.
Out of the guest room, Gervais hurried to the first floor, and asked the guards standing guard in the vestibule, and knew the direction in which Alice and Rohr had gone to the side stables of the castle, and Gervais hurried over.
As the Count's castle, the Rose Castle was very large, and Gervais turned left and right along the road and finally came to the vicinity of the stables, but when he got there, the lights were dimmed.
Because the horses are parked here, it is necessary to reduce the light source at night so that the horses can rest better.
Gervais looked around as he walked, there were slightly fewer guards here, only a few guards on duty at the entrance of the stables and the entrance of the courtyard where Gervais kept his unicorns, and there were hardly any people in the rest of the place.
"No wonder someone here was knocked unconscious."
Looking at the darkness all around, Gervais felt a little cold, but fortunately, there was a torch on the wall every few tens of meters as lighting, so that Gervais would not move forward in the dark.
After walking for a few dozen meters, Gervais finally noticed a few torches shaking behind a small wooden house in front of him, and three or five guards in armor could be seen under the light of the torches.
Gervais immediately quickened his pace and walked towards that, just when Gervais was still more than twenty meters away from those guards, and he only had to turn a small cabin to see the scene ahead, his figure suddenly stopped.
"What's that? It didn't rain tonight, did it? ”
At this moment, Gervais felt as if he had stepped on a small puddle, but he was not very sure, because the feeling under his feet was a little sticky.
If it's water, it certainly doesn't feel like that.
After walking in the dark for a few minutes, Gervais's eyes could see a little by the moonlight.
Gervais looked down curiously, only to see that the ground was indeed liquid, because the reflection of the moon could be seen on it.
But the reflection was very faint, and Gervais chuckled in his heart, it was obvious that this liquid was not water, but it was still such a large pool, it would be very strange.
"Blood?"
Gervais was a little surprised, and he didn't care whether it was dirty or not, so he carefully squatted down and stretched out his fingers to dip some liquid on his hands and rub them.
"It's blood!"
After several battles, Gervais was not new to this aspect, but he had already identified the slightly viscous liquid as blood by just rubbing his finger slightly.
Gervais looked in the direction where the blood was flowing, and there was a flower bed with a tree in the middle, and flowers and plants more than 50 centimeters high were planted around the tree.
Gervais carefully moved a few steps to pick up the flowers, but saw that there were seven or eight dead bodies in the flower bed that was only four or five square meters, and the blood was flowing from them.
These seven or eight people are completely dead, all wearing the armor of the Knights of the Rosary!
"Damn! Looks like there's really a big conspiracy tonight! ”
Gervais's brows jumped! Seeing the armor on the seven or eight dead bodies, Gervais knew that something big was going to happen to Rose Castle tonight.
This is a member of the Rose Knights, although I don't know if these people are title knights or trainee knights, but they can become members of the Rose Knights, even if they are trainee knights, they are the elite of the elite in Jones's territory.
"Not only is there a big conspiracy, but there must also be internal ghosts!"
Thinking of this, Gervais didn't dare to rush forward as openly as he had just now.
Instead, he cautiously retreated to the corner of the cabin, and then Gervais stuck out half his head and looked in the direction of the torch.
I saw a pool in front of me, this pool was specially used to provide drinking water for the horses in the stable, there was a lot of grass around the pool, and Alice and Rohr were next to the pool, in addition to the two of them, there were more than a dozen soldiers of the Rose Knights around the pool, these soldiers and Roel were fully armed, armor and long swords.
When he saw the situation over there, Rao is Gervais was also a little frightened.
Alice was held hostage!
