"Sir, the guard team responsible for searching the reception area reported that they did not find the maid!"
"Sir, the guard responsible for searching the utility area reported that the maid was not found!"
"grown ups……"
As the captains of the guards returned one after another to report, Bernard's face became increasingly ugly because the maid had disappeared.
Now that Valad is dead, Bernard must find the maid if he wants to figure things out, otherwise he really won't be able to give an explanation to the Black Iron Earl.
"Karl, have you gathered all the servants together?"
"Yes, sir, according to your instructions, I have gathered two hundred and thirty servants in the castle. Except for the maid, all the other servants have arrived!"
"Then where can a maid like her with no fighting spirit escape to?" Bernard frowned and thought.
Although the castle is large, if a large group of guards are sent out to search at all costs, finding someone is like catching a turtle in a jar, and it is not particularly difficult.
"Sir!" At this moment, Shirley returned to the hall under the escort of the guards, and then came to Nalant and whispered a few words in Nalant's ear.
"Your Majesty, maybe I know where the maid is hiding!" After listening to Shirley's report, Nalant came to Bernard and whispered.
"Oh?" Bernard was a little surprised. He couldn't find any of his guards. How could Nalant search for them?
"Your Majesty, my maid has raised a little sparrow as a pet since she was a child. This little sparrow is very smart. Usually the maid asks her to look for some wild fruits or prey. Just now I asked her to send the little sparrow to find the maid. It seems really
I’ve made a discovery!”
"There are actually such smart sparrows?" Bernard was slightly surprised, but didn't think much about it.
Taming falcons, pigeons and even warcraft is very important in this world. It is not too unusual for a little girl to train a smart sparrow.
"Where is the maid? Nalant, please take me there now!" The most important thing now is to find the maid.
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
Next, Nalant took Rose and Bernard out of the inner castle.
In addition to them, a number of heavyweights including the Black Iron Earl also followed.
Following Shirley's fake lead, they soon arrived at the maid's hiding place.
"My lord, the maid is in the pool in front."
Their current location is in the back garden of the Earl's Castle, adjacent to the cliff behind the castle.
There is a waterfall pouring down on the cliff, which is also the source of the creek in the castle.
There is a deep pool below the waterfall. According to Xiao Huihui's report, the maid was hiding in the water.
"No wonder it can't be found!" Bernard nodded.
It's dark now, and the maid is hiding in the water. As long as someone comes close and dives into the water, it's really hard to find her.
Immediately, Bernard directly ordered the two commanders and deputy commanders of the Tulip Knights beside him: "Go and capture him for me. You must make sure you are alive!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two commanders immediately took off their armor and quietly walked towards the water pool not far away.
Wow!
Not long after, Nalant saw the rays of fighting energy flowing around the pool in front of him, followed by the sound of falling water.
"It turned out to be a peak silver knight!" Nalant was slightly surprised. The two commanders were the most powerful existences he had seen except for a few earls.
"Sir, I've caught him!" The Silver Peak Knight arrested an ordinary person, so there was no reason for him to miss. Soon the leader of Tulip returned with a maid.
The maid's hands had been removed at this time, falling softly to the ground, and her mouth was full of blood.
"Sir, this maid just wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, and my subordinates removed her hands and teeth!"
"Yes." Bernard nodded and looked at Nalant.
"Your Majesty, this is the maid!" Nalant did not show any pity for her. Instead, he agreed with the Tulip Commander's actions. He also wanted to know who was behind the scenes.
If Natasha hadn't happened to follow him to the second floor, even if Narante had only stayed on the second floor for five or six minutes, it would still be impossible to prove that he was innocent if no one testified for him.
Next, Bernard did not take the maid far away, but directly interrogated her in a nearby garden.
"Who sent you here?" Bernard asked in a deep voice.
However, it was not easy to get the answer. The maid just lowered her head and said nothing.
Bernard frowned and waved his hand directly to the Tulip leader, and then several Tulip members began to torture him.
What surprised everyone was that the woman's mouth was surprisingly hard, and it took a full ten minutes before she let go.
"I said, I said, give me a good time!"
"Who sent you here!"
"Yes... the Freemasons sent me here..."
"Freemasonry?" Several counts looked at each other and their expressions darkened.
"Who killed Baron Quint? Where is the person who ordered you now?" Bernard's inquiry became urgent.
"ah!"
boom!
However, although Bernard asked urgently, before the maid could answer, she suddenly let out a painful cry, and then her whole body seemed to be instantly ignited, and her whole body was actually wrapped in flames.
And this flame actually burned out of the maid's body.
"It is indeed a Freemason!"
Seeing the maid starting to burn with flames, the earls were not surprised.
Seeing such a situation, this was the first time Narant heard about the Freemasonry. He looked around and finally asked Natasha in a low voice: "Miss Natasha, why did this maid spontaneously combust?"
"Giggles, you, a little noble, would definitely not be able to know about such a thing, but since we have that kind of relationship, I'll tell you secretly!" Natasha didn't hide anything, she giggled charmingly, and then began to tell the story.
stand up.
Nalant rolled his eyes, ignored the murderous gaze of the eldest prince, and then listened carefully.
"The Freemasons only appeared in recent years. No one knows what they want to do. However, the only thing that is certain is that they are very unfriendly to the nobles."
"They are extremely good at instigating relationships between nobles and making them kill each other."
"The most famous incident is that a few years ago, there were two small principalities in the desert, and they got into a fight just because of a misunderstanding. The two principalities fought and both suffered losses!"
"Finally, with the mediation of our Agate Principality, the two small principalities stopped. Finally, it was discovered that there was actually a conspiracy, and it was the Freemasons who were instigating it!"
"In the past, Freemasonry was rare in our Agate Principality. Because our Agate Principality is strong and has a well-established aristocratic system, it is difficult for them to have any chance to provoke. But I didn't expect that this time they are planning to provoke two factions in our Principality.
Fight with the Counties!"
"Narant, you have to be careful in the future. These sympathizers are like rats hiding in the dark and will come out to cause trouble whenever they get a chance!"
"In addition, the biggest characteristic of Freemasonry is that even if they are caught, their real members cannot reveal more information. If they confess, they will spontaneously combust and die immediately!"
"Is there such a thing?" Nalant frowned. He had never heard of such an organization existing in the past.
In other words, this time he was just incidentally. What the people behind the scenes really wanted was to cause damage to the Earl family.
And Valad probably gave them the opportunity to seize it, and then started from him.
"Narant, I have another piece of news to tell you. You must not tell it. This is the core secret of Freemasonry. No one except the big family knows it!" At this moment, Natasha unexpectedly
He leaned over and put his face close to Nalant's ear.
Feeling the orchid breath and the warm feeling in his ears, Nalant suddenly became excited.
However, because of the temptation of the words 'core secret', Narant still did not avoid it.
Just listen to Natasha whisper: "Do you know who is the biggest beneficiary after these nobles are incited to start a war?"
"who is it?"
"church!"
"It's good that you know this news! Just consider it as compensation from me! Haha!" After saying that, Natasha immediately pulled away and stopped talking.
