Chapter 369 Denial
"Grevith, what happened? Are you okay?"
Fatty Pat and Code squeezed to the inner end of the crowd, only to find that their original booth had been destroyed, and Gervis was now looking murderous, with the long sword in his hand still dripping with blood.
The two men didn't know why Gervis had a conflict with others. Gervis had always been a peaceful person and not a cruel nobleman, so they thought that Gervis was assassinated by someone in revenge.
As the two men stepped forward, they drew the swords at their waists without hesitation and quickly came to Gervis' side, while carefully guarding their surroundings.
They are all vassals of Alice, and Gervis is considered half their superior.
Of course, even if we put aside this relationship, as long as they are from the same Jones family, they are in the same boat, and they basically have the same attitude when dealing with the outside world.
"Pat, Cord, I'm fine, but I need you two to help me find Alice right now, hurry up!"
Gervis shook his head at the two of them and said nothing more, his eyes always fixed on the eldest prince.
Pat and Code were slightly relieved when they found that the blood on Gervis' body was from someone else. Then they looked at the corpse on the ground, a body they didn't recognize with its head and body separated and its chest burnt.
But when they saw the next corpse with its eyes open, they were shocked.
Of course Charles and the others knew each other, having met them at Alice's birthday party.
"Code, go and inform the Earl, and call up the guards downstairs!"
In an instant, the two realized that the current situation was definitely a major event. Fatty Pat did not dare to neglect it and quickly spoke to Code.
"good!"
Code glanced at the eldest prince and more than a dozen soldiers with drawn swords in front of him.
Although he didn't know that the man with blood on his face was the eldest prince, he knew that Gervis would definitely not be able to leave with them.
So without further hesitation, he answered and quickly headed towards the hall door.
As for Code's departure, the eldest prince did not ask anyone to stop him. Instead, he called a soldier over and gave him a few instructions. Then the soldier put away his sword and ran out of the hall as well.
"Gervis, do you know that you have committed a heinous crime today? You actually killed Viscount Yurik, the next heir to the Charles family."
Things have gotten out of control to such an extent that Charles' death is bound to cause a huge stir.
What the eldest prince had to do now was to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Gervis to death. This little earl husband had really pissed him off.
"Haha, a heinous crime? May I ask your Highness, who started the incident? And who was the first to try to kill me?"
Gervis sneered. What happened today was a complete unexpected disaster for him. Besides, how could he let go of an enemy like Yurik who wanted to kill him?
But Gervis is not that stupid. If he lets the eldest prince pin the blame for killing the noble on him, even Alice won't be able to save herself.
Gervis now has two options. One is to completely deny that he was the one who killed Yurik.
If the first option doesn't work, then you must make your self-defense counterattack a reality and not allow anyone to have the legitimate opportunity to use aristocratic law to punish you.
"Also, you know best whether I killed Yurik or not. You were the first to attack, and I am just a small Bronze Beginner Knight, while Yurik is a Bronze Peak Knight. Can I kill him?"
"I suspect you set up a trap on purpose. You want to kill Yurik and put the blame on me."
Gervis' voice was loud enough to ensure that all the lesser nobles present could hear it.
After hearing this, many minor nobles opened their perception to check Gervis's realm, and indeed found that Gervis was a bronze beginner knight, and then they all began to whisper.
Gervis's strength was indeed at the initial bronze level, so in their opinion, it was impossible for him to kill Yurik.
However, it is a fact that the heir of the Charles family was killed, which is a rare big news in recent years.
Listening to the whispers, the eldest prince fell silent for a while. In fact, he also had many questions that he didn't understand.
Who is the man with his head and body separated on the ground? Why did he take the initiative to attack? And why did he also smash the crystal lamp?
What puzzled him even more was what happened to the fireball that suddenly appeared just now?
And Gervis’s strength is indeed that of a junior bronze knight. How can a low-level bronze knight kill a peak bronze knight?
"If you didn't kill them, then why is there so much blood on your sword!"
The eldest prince only thought about it for a moment, and immediately discarded the long list of questions in his mind. Now, no matter whether the matter was reasonable or not, the eldest prince wanted Gervis to take the blame.
Soon, the young nobles who were watching the show also looked up at the sword in Gervis's hand. When the hall lit up just now, they did see that blood was dripping from Gervis' sword.
"Just now after the crystal lamp fell, I felt someone sneak attacking me, so I subconsciously swung my sword to block it, so I don't know what I hit. As for what happened next, I don't know! Anyway, I hid later, and I could only feel a melee in front of me!"
"But Yurik was still behind you at that time, and everyone heard his shouting!"
Gervis was just telling lies. It was dark here just now and being able to vaguely distinguish human figures was already the limit. He didn't need to worry about anyone exposing his lies.
"you……"
The eldest prince had an extremely ugly expression on his face. With his status, he had played many schemes and plots.
But no one would confront him face to face like this, and facing Gervis's sharp words, he was actually a little unable to refute.
In an instant, the eldest prince's eyes turned cold again. He looked at Gervis and Pat, and hesitated whether to kill Gervis first.
Now he has a mid-silver-level iron guard and more than ten armored soldiers by his side.
As long as Gervis is killed, not only can he get rid of the hatred in his heart, but the subsequent death of Yurik will also be much simpler. He can just watch the Jones family and the Charles family fight each other.
"Prince, Diu seems to be still alive!"
Just when the eldest prince was about to kill, the guard beside him whispered something to him.
Gervis also heard this and looked at the ground following the eldest prince's and the other's gaze.
It turned out to be the silver beginner knight who was hit by his fireball.
At this moment, the arm of this Silver Junior Knight was moving. It was obvious that he was not dead yet. He might have just fainted.
Gervis didn't find it strange. Although the fireball spell was magical, it was only a low-level magic.
The fact that the Silver Knight was seriously injured also took into account the fact that he was not wearing armor, otherwise such serious damage would not have been caused.
However, even this lowest-level magic was powerful enough to satisfy Gervis, as it was much more powerful than his own grenade.
Gervis could see that Woody's chest was completely charred, and he could even smell a faint smell of burnt meat.
"Hurry up and take Wudi to the hospital for treatment!"
"yes!"
Following the eldest prince's order, two soldiers stepped forward carefully, carried Udi and ran out of the hall quickly.
After Udi was carried away, the eldest prince turned his gaze to Gervis again, continuing to think about the previous decision.
Instantly, Gervis felt a chill down his spine, and he understood the meaning in the eldest prince's eyes.
Although he is now a high-level bronze knight, he is still unable to fight back against a mid-level silver knight.
Gervis immediately outlined the matrix of fireball in his mind, and now he could launch two fireballs.
However, it takes three seconds to cast a fireball, so he has to start preparing now.
Another thing is that Gervis was not sure whether the fireball could still cause damage to the intermediate silver knight now that he was on guard.
In fact, in addition to the threat from the eldest prince, Gervis was also worried about another thing, which was that he hoped Alice could arrive at the scene before the people from Charles' family, otherwise he might not be able to leave this glorious manor.
The scene was suddenly plunged into a strange atmosphere. Even the young nobles who were watching the show noticed something was wrong and could not help but move back slightly.
