Chapter 163 13 Meeting the Great Ancestor
Chapter 163 -13- Meet the Great Ancestor
Charlotte's pointed order made Sebastian worried.
There are other vampires hiding in Castel's caravan!
He was the one who checked the personnel before the caravan departed, but even he didn't find that a vampire had sneaked in without anyone noticing.
This made him feel very embarrassed, even a little ashamed.
He is the steward of the gods!
That's why, after leaving Charlotte's tent, he immediately started the personnel check.
The reason was also very sufficient. The attack of the undead tide frightened everyone. As the steward of the Castel family, he had to comfort the family knights who held their positions in the defensive battle tonight, and also apologize to the accompanying caravans.
As for what apology to express... Of course, it was an apology for being implicated by the Castel family.
The target of the undead was the earl of Castel, and the mage who manipulated the undead was instructed by the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom. If it weren't for staying with the Castel family, everyone would not be threatened by the undead.
This can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Not only can they have an excuse to investigate the entire convoy, but they can also spread the news that the third prince is the mastermind behind the attack through the accompanying caravan and the mercenaries they hired...
The caravan and mercenaries are the disseminators of a lot of intelligence. Sebastian doesn't even need to find someone to spread it deliberately. As long as he hints at it during the condolence, the shocking news of the Principality of Boulder can spread throughout the Crescent Kingdom in a very short time.
The Crescent Royal Family, the rich and beautiful unmarried countess, orphans, noble conspiracies, the right to inherit the title, and the necromancer...
Pick any of these elements and they can be "hot searched" in taverns and brothels.
And as Sebastian thought, not to mention the knights of the Castel family, even if it was gossip, it was impossible to gossip about their own lord in person, but the accompanying merchants were instantly awakened after knowing the "truth" of the attack tonight, and chased Sebastian for a long time to ask this and that.
In name, they were indignant at the behavior of the Third Prince, and expressed their understanding and gratitude for the apology of Count Castel. They might even flatter the young Count, saying that even if there were no attacks by the undead, even if they did not follow the Castel caravan, they might have already encountered more dangerous robbers or mercenaries who were robbing each other...
But in fact, their eyes were shining, and they almost had the word "gossip" written on their foreheads.
For these merchants and mercenaries, selling valuable intelligence is often one of their sources of income.
And the conflict between the Third Prince and Castel is naturally very valuable intelligence.
This means that Castel is likely to further break down the relationship with the Principality of Boulder in the future, and it is even possible that the young Count intends to break away from the Principality and pledge allegiance to the king directly.
The impact is multifaceted, and it contains great business opportunities and opportunities.
I am afraid that even Charlotte did not expect that the rumor she asked Sebastian to spread would be taken so seriously by the caravans and mercenaries.
In the final analysis, even now, she probably still does not have the true consciousness of a feudal lord.
When power reaches a certain level, every word you say will have a corresponding impact.
Even if you don't think that far, there are people who will help you "interpret" and help you "implement" your will.
This is the power of power and the extension of power.
Charlotte soon felt this.
"What did you say? Independence from the principality?"
Charlotte looked at the envoys from the vassal family who visited her late at night with some astonishment, and her face was confused.
"No... isn't it? I heard from Lord Sebastian that the undead tide tonight was driven by the third prince..."
"How despicable! How dare you do this to our Castel family! However, Lord Charlotte, you must be cautious about your relationship with the Principality of Borde..."
"Yes, yes, if you really want independence, you must also communicate with the lords in the territory..."
"No, no, I think it should be independent. Our Lord Viscount has long been dissatisfied with the Principality. The Earldom of Castel has contributed a lot of taxes to the Principality, but what has the Principality done for us? It only sucks blood from us!"
"Stupid! Without the protection of the Borde family, Castel would have been eaten by those greedy guys around!"
Representatives of different families talked at once, and some even quarreled.
Charlotte:...
What a mess!
When did she want to be independent?
No, no, it should be said that although she did have the idea of breaking away from Borde and starting a new business in the future, that was also the future. Why was it brought up now?
Charlotte was confused as she watched the noisy family messengers.
Gradually, she realized that these people regarded her letting Sebastian spread the word as a political signal.
At this moment, Charlotte felt the power of power for the first time.
She was already a count.
Every word she said would affect the entire Earldom of Castel and the future of millions of people.
But at the same time, she was not in a good mood as she watched these noisy family messengers running into her tent.
If she were a representative of these families, even if she knew that the new earl intended to draw a line with the Bolde family, she would not visit overnight, let alone quarrel in front of the earl.
They are not the heads of the families!
And this only means one thing, that is, although Charlotte inherited the title, she lacks sufficient prestige.
In the eyes of these family representatives who are at least two generations older than her on paper, she is still a child after inheriting the title.
The attitude of the envoy often represents the family behind him.
The attitude of the vassal nobles under Castel can be imagined.
"Okay, stop arguing, I'm tired and need to rest."
Looking at the noisy representatives, Charlotte's voice turned cold and issued an order to expel them.
She did not explain anything further, for fear that these guys would interpret her words in a new way and make up more things in their minds...
The aura of the first level of the stars was released. Although it was not as coercive as the silver moon, it still made the faces of these representatives who had not even entered the level pale.
The voices of the crowd soon faded.
No matter when, the entry is worthy of respect, not to mention such a young earl.
They finally looked at the girl with awe, bowed respectfully to her, and then left.
They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they walked far away from the tent. They couldn't help but sigh:
"At such a young age, he became an entry. The Castel family... has successors!"
But some people couldn't help but say:
"It's true that he is young and promising, but he is too impatient. The undead who attacked was done by the third prince. Can such a thing be said casually? Even if it is true, you can't just say it directly!"
"Yes, that's the royal family, and it may be the future duke."
"Alas, in the end, he is still a child!"
"Crack!", Charlotte, who has a keen sense of five senses, broke the crystal goblet in her hand and couldn't help but twitching her mouth.
Fuck, these noble masters are really hard to serve!
After taking a deep breath, Charlotte calmed down.
The nobles in the territory obviously don't care about her, but now is not the time to deal with them.
Even if she wants to deal with them, Charlotte has to return to the territory first and find out the situation thoroughly.
Although the blood clan has many means of mental control, Charlotte does not want to rely on extraordinary power to forcibly gain the loyalty of the nobles.
There is no magic in this world that cannot be broken.
The shortcut is easy to take, but it is not long-term and there are also great risks.
If Charlotte wants to turn Castel into an iron plate and become the origin of her faith, then Charlotte must obtain the loyalty of the territory from top to bottom.
As for now...
Let's talk to the Book of the Dead that she just got.
Although she thinks that this book should not bring her too much information, what if it does?
Thinking of this, Charlotte set her eyes on the Book of the Dead again.
And the Book of the Dead trembled slightly, as if it shivered.
...
Sebastian didn't know that the representatives of Castel's family paid a late-night visit to the Earl.
In fact, he didn't care even if he knew, he believed that the great Lady of Dark Night could deal with those guys.
The serious and responsible elf steward was still tracking down the vampires hidden in the caravan.
After checking the knights and caravans of the Castel family, he didn't find any problems.
This was not unexpected. The screening of his own people was the most strict. Everyone had a clean background and complete information.
Obviously, if there were vampires hiding in the caravan, they must be hidden in other caravans accompanying them.
Sebastian visited tents one after another, comforted them one after another, and at the same time, with the help of his power after becoming a blood family, he released his keen perception to the maximum.
However, he did not find the breath of the vampires in the accompanying team, but accidentally found a few free merchants who had sneaked into the caravan without "buying tickets".
Sebastian expressed his sincere greetings to them and "persuaded" them to buy the "tickets" to get on the car.
Coming out of another tent of the accompanying caravan, Sebastian took out the mercury mirror and elegantly adjusted his hairstyle.
However, just as he was about to walk towards the next caravan tent, he suddenly stopped.
Not far away, an old woman with a hunched back and a cane was supported by a beautiful girl in a tattered maid's uniform, looking at him with a smile:
"Sir Sebastian, what are you looking for?"
Seeing the old woman appear here, Sebastian was stunned, unable to hide the astonishment on his face:
"Ms. Anna? Why are you here?"
...
A night passed quickly.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the forest and shone into the camp, Charlotte also woke up from her sleep.
She yawned lazily, touched her hand, and nodded with satisfaction after feeling that the Book of the Dead was still there.
This guy... didn't dare to escape.
After the representatives of each family left last night, she had an in-depth exchange with the book spirit.
It was really an in-depth exchange.
The Book of the Dead was created by the Blood Demon Grand Duke Abaddon. It also possesses the power of blood descendants and is also a special kind of intelligent life. Charlotte can completely summon it into her spiritual world.
In the spiritual world, it was Charlotte who had the final say. She used the power of blood to mark it, so that even if it escaped, she could track it.
But it was obvious that the Necronomicon had given up, and it didn't dare to escape even after Charlotte slept.
As Charlotte thought, the Book Spirit of the Necronomicon didn't know much.
It sleeps most of the time, and will only be summoned by the contractor when it needs to be used.
According to it, it had been sleeping in the seal for hundreds of years, and it was not until more than twenty years ago that it was found by a fourth-generation vampire.
It doesn't know much about its contractors because it rarely communicates with its contractors.
It only knows that its contractor is a fifth-generation vampire named Agnes, who was once a human noble and a descendant of the fourth-generation vampire who discovered it.
More than ten years ago, Agnes personally killed its last contractor, the fourth-generation vampire, and inherited it.
Moreover, the blood clan is also divided into generations.
Over the past year, Charlotte has verified a lot of information and has a certain understanding.
As far as Charlotte knows, the true ancestor is the first vampire in the world of Miria and belongs to the first generation.
Perhaps because of loneliness, or perhaps because of the needs of war, the True Ancestor of Blood created his descendants, the second generation of blood clan, also known as the Blood Legion.
The second generation vampires were not powerful and fell one after another in the ancient wars. However, they left behind their descendants, the third generation vampires.
Feeling the weakness of the Vampires, the True Ancestor increased the power of the third generation Vampires, and the third generation Vampires were therefore the most powerful.
They, no...they, are all myths.
The current princes of the vampire clan are all third generation vampires.
As for the fourth generation vampires, they are naturally the descendants of the princes, the true heirs of myth.
The fourth generation vampire, no matter how weak he is, is at least the Earl of Blood, the third level of Blazing Sun.
Being able to kill a mythical heir, not to mention how she did it, Charlotte suddenly looked at the vampire girl who escaped from under her nose with admiration.
At the same time, she also accidentally learned another news from Shu Ling.
After killing the fourth-generation earl, the girl named Agnes did not escape. Instead, she and her first love, the knight Lahel, who became a vampire, pretended to be that vampire's identity and infiltrated into the vampire's group. in society.
"Is it a vampire society..."
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
The society of the Vampire Clan is quite closed, and most of the Vampire Clan active in Boulder are the Blood Demon Order that is incompatible with the mainstream society of the Vampire Clan. After becoming a Vampire Clan, Charlotte has no chance to break into the Vampire Clan.
But now it seems that she may have a chance soon.
After stretching, Charlotte rang the bell skillfully, and the iceberg beauty maid Shirley quickly entered the tent to help Charlotte dress and wash.
Well...for a year now, she has completely degenerated into hedonistic shape.
And when everything was taken care of and breakfast was finished, Sebastian came back.
"Master, I have... a friend outside. She and her granddaughter want to see you. I think they are the ones you ordered me to find."
He hesitated and said respectfully.
"friend?"
Charlotte drank the sweet milk in her glass and raised her eyebrows.
She elegantly picked up the silk scarf and wiped her mouth, and said:
"Invite them in."
Sebas responded respectfully, and soon, an old woman entered the tent with the support of a maid.
As soon as they entered, Charlotte's eyes were fixed on the girl dressed as a maid.
At this moment, she could feel the strong rhythm of her blood!
Even the Blood Sacred Scripture in her body seemed to have a faint feeling.
This girl is the vampire she is looking for!
Moreover... the level of bloodline is very high!
Charlotte's heart raced.
At the same time, the old woman suddenly bowed towards her with the support of the girl:
"Anna, the witch of premonition... brings her granddaughter Reina to meet the great ancestor..."
It's the end of the month... just... weakly ask for a monthly pass...
According to gossip, I heard that this chapter won’t be restored until early November.
