Chapter Thirty-Six: Gossip from the Sky

The night road was rough, and although the four of them ran purposefully, they were still tired, especially Adel who was carrying Alice on his back.

When she was about to get out of the woods, Zhou Tang proposed to rest for a while, she and Cheng Mu spent a lot of effort to solve those people, and after running non-stop for so long, their bodies in the game couldn't bear it, and it was obviously urgent to take a break to recover their strength.

The woods are a good shelter, if there is a mutation in the rear, there can also be a way to hide, a countermeasure, and then go further is the abrupt mountain and rocky beach.

In the rocks, they don't necessarily have an advantage.

Cheng Mu nodded, a pair of bare legs found a suitable position in the woods, and luckily, he found a small hole that could accommodate four people.

Looking at these bright swaying legs, Adair consciously turned his head, and took off a coat and handed it to Cheng Mu, "Hey, that long-legged beauty, the weather is still cool now, let's cover up your clothes." ”

The long skirt on Cheng Mu's body was torn into a short skirt by himself, which was very convenient, but it was another situation in the eyes of others.

Alice is obviously not a player, Cheng Mu didn't explain much, and naturally took the clothes to cover her legs, which didn't look unique.

The four of them were crammed into the small hole, and Adair couldn't help but ask, "You... I don't know your names yet? Are all those people dead? What about Madame?

Zhou Tang replied, "My name is Zhou Tang, and his name is Cheng Mu." ”

Adair said clearly, "Zhou Tang, Cheng 'Mu'." ”

Cheng Mu felt that Adele's tone was a little familiar, but just as he wanted to reply and correct, the ground above their heads shook slightly.

Zhou Tang glanced at him, "Shhh Don't talk, someone is coming. ”

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves and a human voice could be heard in the distance, "This piece has been searched!" No trace of them was found! ”

"They're about to enter Apria, they're not that fast, are they?!"

"Anyway, let's go into Apria first!"

Adel could feel the horse's hooves crashing on top of his head, and he held himself tight, not daring to breathe.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and Zhou Tang said softly, "There are not many people who come to chase us, only three or five people!" But we'll need to hide here a little longer, until they're gone, before dawn. ”

Adair was stunned and asked, "How many horses and how many people can you hear?!" ”

Zhou Tang said perfunctorily, "You can listen to it more." ”

Alice was thoughtful, it seemed that the daughter of a commoner was not useless, and as a nobleman, she only knew that she was jealous.

Before dawn they finally crossed the rocky beach and came to a small village, but instead of staying here, they continued on their way.

Occasionally, we met pedestrians on the road, and they only said, "We were escorting the noble lady to a relative's house in the countryside, but we were robbed by thieves on the way, and we finally escaped and wanted to go home." ”

They also complained, "How can there be bandits in this area!" I heard that this is the duke's domain, and the duke doesn't care?! I'm going home and telling my father that the duke doesn't do anything, let my father come!" ”

"I've heard that women are missing in every village in this area! How do you just pick a woman who goes out alone? If we hadn't sworn to protect Miss, something would have happened to her, and we wouldn't have escaped. ”

"It can't be a witch doing evil, right?! Witches like sweet maidens the most. ”

"The blood of a maiden can heal the furrows on a witch's face, and can make a witch young and beautiful again."

"What?! Witch? How can we have witches here! It's broken, it's broken. ”

……

In the past few days, everywhere the four of them went, there would be specious remarks, which was Zhou Tang's opinion, their identity, and even Alice's identity, were weak to the duke.

In order to complete Adair's game mission and rescue the girls who are still in the castle cage, they will either use their skills to shake the Duke with a stick, or use someone of the Duke's status to fight against him.

Wanting to get through the game as quickly as possible, they unanimously chose the latter.

Before they can find a target to cling to, they can spread more rumors.

It's not right to say it's a rumor, after all, what they say is the truth, but they just break the truth and mix it together, maybe there are contradictions, maybe the order of things is out of place.

Let the truth be hidden in the fog, waiting for people with lofty ideals to dig it out little by little.

"Alice, aren't you really going home?" Adair asked again, he didn't expect Alice to have such courage.

Alice shook her head firmly and said, "No! I have many brothers and sisters, and I am only one of them, and my parents will not oppose my aunt for one. ”

"Besides," she hesitated, as if she did not like to speak ill of people behind her, "my brother, Burranton, he is very favoured with the Duchess. ”

Adel nodded, he could see that the Duchess had moved on to her love, her love had fallen on Burlandon, but...

He asked, "Cheng Mu said that if there is no accident, Madame has died at his hands!" Then Blanton should be sent home. You have a good relationship with Blanton, and you can consult with him..."

At this time, Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu came back together, "An accident happened!" The Duchess did not die, and she also had a bounty announcement posted that a thief had sneaked into the castle and stole the treasure. ”

After waiting in the castle for several days, Berlandon finally met his wife, who was recuperating from her wounds.

Blanton followed the housekeeper into the lady's bedroom, there was a heavy smell of medicine in the bedroom, he came to the big bed without changing his face, and asked with a worried posture, "Auntie, I'm worried about death, are you better?!" ”

The lady leaned against the head of the bed, looking fragile and pitiful.

"Blanton, you're here!" The sun outside the window shone on Madame's body, her skin was as pale as snow, and she saw the incomparably young Burlandon, and reached out and stroked her cheek slowly, "Am I much older?" ”

"Auntie, you will always be elegant and noble in my heart, this is only temporary, you take good care of your injuries, and you will regain your former glory." ”

Madame preferred to listen to Blanton because he was sincere, and he did not speak of her beauty in good conscience now.

Taking advantage of the fact that the lady was in a good mood now, Berranton asked again, "I'm sorry aunt, I heard from the butler, if it weren't for the search for my sister, I wouldn't have left the castle empty that day, causing thieves to take advantage of the situation and hurt you."

A few days ago, I had already sent a letter to my mother to inform my sister of her situation. ”

Madame was visibly depressed, and Nance's men had been searching for several days, and they had finally found traces of the damn four, but the four did not stop at all, and their positions kept changing.

And there are rumors in the countryside that slander the castle.
