Chapter 71 Deserted by Everyone?
At least it was not something Rudeus could change now.
When Alice said that, Rudeus quickly used earth element magic to form an earth barrier to isolate the room, and pulled Alice down from the window.
Although Rudeus's physical fitness was not very good, he was very proficient in magic. When he landed, he slightly changed the flow of air so that he did not suffer any damage, and then pulled Alice forward.
Rudeus' eyes quickly swept around and locked his eyes on the stable not far away.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps behind him, and Rudeus hurriedly grabbed Alice's arm and trotted forward.
Fortunately, Rudeus ran in time and was not seen by the other party. It was also at this moment that he successfully delayed a little time and allowed Rudeus to successfully slip to the stable.
Rudius led the horse out very skillfully. Fortunately, the horse was docile and did not resist much. Otherwise, with Rudius's second-rate riding skills, he would have been thrown off by the other party.
Alice was obviously much more honest along the way. Rudius got on the horse and said to her, "Can you get on?"
Alice nodded. Although she had suffered a lot of injuries before, she was almost healed now.
This was a carriage. When Alice sat in the back seat, Rudius began to drive the carriage slowly forward.
In this way, Rudius began to rush back to the road he came from.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night was a silent night.
A figure turned into a shadow and followed closely not far from the carriage where Rudius was.
This place is not far from the location of the Greylat family. It can be reached in just one hour.
When he saw the familiar streets and the palace at the top in the distance, Rudius also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Entering the city was equivalent to having one foot in the safe zone.
He slowly smiled, parked the carriage on the side of the road, got off the horse and said to Alice in the back of the carriage: "Get down."
Alice, who was sitting in the back of the carriage, poked her head out and asked curiously: "Why don't you just take the carriage in?"
Rudius explained: "The sight of taking the carriage is too big, it is easy to attract the attention of the other party, and those who can tie us up at home are obviously traitors."
Alice thought about it, got off the carriage, looked around, and there was no one in the quiet street at this time.
Rudius was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice.
"You two, the master of the family has been looking for you so hard."
Rudius was subconsciously startled, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young butler holding a lantern and squinting his eyes.
He had a short haircut, and the butler's facial features were peaceful, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy. In addition, he was the butler of the family, so Rudeus subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards him. Rudeus said to the butler: "Butler, do you know what's going on?"
The butler fell into deep thought, thought about it, and said to Rudeus: "What's going on? Well, it should be like this."
Rudeus felt something was wrong, and the meaning of the other party's words was very strange.
In addition, why did the other party appear in front of him as soon as he appeared, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Rudeus's eyes suddenly shrank, and he was about to say something, but a figure behind him had rushed to Alice's side, directly covered Alice's mouth with his hand, and easily carried her to his shoulders.
Rudeus's mouth twitched. He was indeed betrayed by his own family. Looking at the usually warm butler in front of him, Rudeus couldn't help but ask, "Why do you do this?"
The butler smiled and said, "Why, why do you do this?"
The butler's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Alice behind him with a pair of resentful and fierce eyes.
Muttered, "Why, why do you do this?" It seemed like he was asking himself, and it seemed like he was asking Rudeus.
After repeating it once, he said to Rudeus expressionlessly, "I think you can see that Alice, this little brat, has made me suffer for a long time. Now, it's time to teach her a lesson."
Rudeus looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was already panicking. Rudeus looked behind him and saw Alice's panicked expression at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I don't know how many people this guy has offended. Even the butler has such a big grudge against her, and colluded with outsiders to make a real play.
The butler took a lantern and walked forward a few steps, saying jokingly, "Why, do you want to help this guy? Oh, I heard that this guy also beat you every day at the beginning, have you forgotten? Why not just turn a blind eye, I'm not an unkind person, so, I'll give you thirty gold coins, what do you think?"
Rudeus began to mobilize the magic power in his body, gathering it in his right arm, looking at the middle-aged butler, and asked, "Can thirty gold coins allow three people to go to magic university?"
Hearing this, Alice's body trembled, tears were already rolling in her eyes, and a strong sense of regret and helplessness came over her.
What is this? Being deserted by everyone?
The housekeeper was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed wildly. He looked proud and cast his eyes on Alice's terrified expression. He continued loudly: "Let alone three people, even ten people are more than enough. So, what is your choice?"
Rudius showed a happy smile, and that smile was just like saying that the cooperation was pleasant.
The housekeeper laughed loudly, but before he could continue to speak, Rudius took advantage of the gap between the two people's relaxation and suddenly attacked.
The magic power gathered, and the ground where the kidnappers were located began to melt, and a wall of earth rose out of thin air.
Due to Rudius's guidance, the two people relaxed their vigilance. They never thought that the other party would still attack like this.
Caught off guard, the figure staggered, Alice's eyes suddenly lit up, and she bit the other party's hand fiercely.
The kidnapper felt pain and subconsciously let go of his hand. Alice hurriedly ran towards Rudius.
The kidnapper and the butler both had gloomy faces.
Especially the butler, whose expression at this moment could be described as ferocious.
He said, "Good boy, you dare to play tricks on me. I really don't understand why you want to save such a person?"
Without giving Rudeus a chance to escape, he walked towards Rudeus.
At the same time, five people suddenly walked forward in the shadows.
Each of them held a long sword, which was a real weapon, flashing a deep cold light under the moonlight.
Rudeus swallowed his saliva and began to quickly think about the escape route, while secretly complaining.
If I had known this would happen, I would have let my eldest brother escort me. Why do I have to endure this?
