Tome of Blood

"Earl of Castel? She is the Earl of Castel?!"

"Could it be that the Earl has come to Castel?"

"The emblem of the Northern Falcon is indeed the family emblem of the Castel family, and it also has the iconic blond hair and blue eyes of the Castel family..."

"The appearance is also the same. I heard that the Castel family has some elven blood and is also known as a family favored by the God of Beauty. The rumors are indeed true..."

"No wonder... no wonder there is an elf butler."

"But, isn't the Earl already sixteen years old, she looks... seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old."

"Could it be... also because of the elf blood?"

Charlotte's self-exposing speech instantly detonated the entire mine, and everyone fell into a commotion.

In the northern lowland plains, Castel is the sky, and Castel is the uncrowned king.

As Charlotte revealed her identity, all eyes were on her for a while, and discussions arose one after another.

The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real.

The powerful elf butler, the genuine Castel badge, coupled with the iconic appearance, gorgeous aristocratic costumes and mysterious and noble temperament, for a while...many people at the scene believed it to a certain extent.

The little werewolf Noah was completely stunned.

His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide enough to stuff a goose egg.

He had imagined any identity that Leisa might hide, but he never thought that she would be the legendary Earl of Castel!

The richest countess of the New Moon Kingdom, the owner of the northern lowlands, the saint who walks in the world, the daughter of the god Lord Haral...

Ancestors on top!

He actually met the legendary Earl of Castel, and even talked and laughed happily with him!

He he he... Isn't he dreaming? !

The little werewolf was dizzy, and he had a sense of absurdity and bewilderment when he came back to his senses after chatting and joking with someone for a long time.

Of course... there is also a sense of surprise.

He met the Earl of Castel!

He, he, he...he had taken risks with the other party before!

Noah knows that if all this is true, then today's experience is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

Little Noah was not the only one who fell into astonishment. The old werewolf Logan in the crowd was also stunned.

The old miner who brought Charlotte and others into the mine in person never imagined that such a person would be brought into the mine by himself!

However, the biggest impact was the guards who surrounded Charlotte and the others.

After hearing what Charlotte said, they also showed consternation, and soon fell into a commotion.

I don't know which guard put away the sword first, anyway... When the first guard started to move, there was a second and a third soon...

Even the two advanced officers who led the team showed hesitation. After looking at each other, they slowly put down the weapons in their hands.

Seeing this scene, the senior manager's expression completely changed.

He looked at Charlotte in amazement, looking a little flustered.

However, his expression soon regained his determination.

I saw him grit his teeth and sternly reprimanded:

"Bold! Pretending to be the Earl!"

"The Earl is obviously in Beigang, how could he appear in Silver City?"

"The badge on her body must have been snatched from Lord Kord! She is a fake!"

"Guards! Don't be fooled by her!"

After hearing the words of the senior steward, the guards, who were in shock, fell into hesitation again.

But... none of them picked up their weapons immediately.

Such was Castell's reputation.

These guards do need to obey orders, but first of all...they are the guards of the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Castel, and the object of their allegiance is not the manager of the mining workshop, but the Castel family.

Seeing this scene, the senior deacon was going to be furious.

He gritted his teeth and shouted to the two officers:

"Raymond, Frey! Don't forget your duty!"

The two officers hesitated.

"Raymond! Frey!"

The senior deacon repeated angrily.

The two officers looked at each other again, gritted their teeth, and ordered to the surrounding guards:

"Guards, take up arms and surround them!"

But after all, they owed Charlotte and the others again, saying:

"This... my lord, just relying on Castel's family crest may not be able to prove your identity, forgive us for not being able to lift the defense."

"If you are really that lord, we will receive your punishment after your identity is officially confirmed!"

Sebastian glanced at the two officers in surprise, and smiled at Charlotte:

"Master, it seems...you still have some good soldiers."

Charlotte smiled and said:

"The Castel Silver Mine is the family's money bag, and it is naturally the best of the best to be allocated here."

As she spoke, she played with the Castel badge in her hand again, and said to herself:

"However... it seems that it is necessary to make a special token that belongs to me in the future. There are still too many falcon badges in the family."

"Hey, I'm afraid that before you, there was no earl who didn't even bring a noble entourage for a private visit."

Nice on the other side laughed.

This series of dialogues did not cover up, and they spoke upright.

Although they were still on alert, after listening to the conversation between Charlotte and the others, the guards were obviously convinced of their identities, and the sword in their hands moved down involuntarily.

Even the two officers subconsciously stood up straighter.

Seeing this scene, the senior deacon's expression became even more gloomy.

His eyes flickered, and suddenly he whispered to Manager Maer beside him:

"Quickly invite Master Remisio..."

Then, he raised his head and continued to shout to Charlotte who was surrounded by layers:

"You... don't move! You don't move until you find out your true identities! Otherwise... we will shoot arrows!"

Sebastian glanced over those heavy crossbows, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and smiled at Charlotte:

"Master, it seems that he is going to ask for help again, and he is threatening us to shoot arrows!"

"Let him ask."

Charlotte didn't care at all, but smiled lightly:

"Just right, the matter of the Mithril Mine can be completely resolved."

After all, she gave Sebas a look, and Sebas understood immediately, and snapped his fingers to summon a noble chair from the storage space, and placed it respectfully and gracefully behind Charlotte.

After Charlotte naturally sat down, he respectfully summoned the milk and the goblet.

Fortunately, Charlotte said "this is not necessary" before he acted, so there was no scene of drinking milk with a goblet on the spot.

In private, it doesn't matter when there are few people.

Now that there are so many people around watching, Charlotte doesn't want to perform this in public, it always feels weird.

Sebastian understood immediately, and replaced the milk with black tea, and the goblet with a carved porcelain cup from the Far East.

This time, Charlotte took it naturally and sipped it lightly.

While drinking tea, she did not forget to chat with the guard officers who surrounded her:

"Which one of you is Raymond? Which one is Frey? Which family is it?"

The two officers were obviously flattered and replied respectfully:

"I'm Raymond."

"I'm Frey."

"My lord, we are not nobles, but commoners."

That apprehensive and respectful attitude is more like the side of the guard than the side of the encirclement, which is rather strange.

The face of the senior deacon became even uglier.

Charlotte was a little surprised, smiled and said:

"A entrant from a commoner background? Not bad!"

"After this incident is over, transfer back to the Earl's Mansion to be my personal guard."

After hearing what Charlotte said, the two officers became visibly excited.

Being an officer in a mine may bring you a lot of money, but if you can become a guard knight with a noble lord, you have a chance to become a real noble!

They wanted to salute almost subconsciously, but after noticing the face of the senior deacon, they quickly realized that something was wrong, and quickly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and put on a straight face again.

But at this time, there was another commotion from the crowd watching in the distance, and the orderly footsteps of the army formation could be faintly heard.

Charlotte moved slightly in her heart, handed the porcelain cup to Sebas, and then looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

The crowd moved aside one after another, and a group of well-equipped soldiers filed in.

All extraordinary people, all enchanted plate armor made of fine steel.

This...is a team of the Kingdom's regular army!

It was the Royal Army stationed at the Castel Silver Mine.

The soldiers of the kingdom came to the scene, separated on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, a tall knight in full armor came to the scene surrounded by a crowd of knights.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and mighty, with a hooked nose and a rather stern face.

Seeing the middle-aged knight, the onlookers visibly became agitated again:

"It's Viscount Remisio! The captain of the third detachment of the First Legion!"

"Is that the captain of the detachment guarding the Castel Silver Mine?"

"I heard that he has a good personal relationship with Steward Ke De, and he is also a second-rank silver moon knight, only one step away from Chi Yang..."

"Hiss... isn't the Earl going to be in trouble?"

"Keep your voice down, it might not be the Earl..."

The miners onlookers talked a lot, and many of them showed expressions of fear after seeing the middle-aged knight. This vicious captain of the Kingdom Legion seems to be awe-inspiring in the mine.

"What happened?"

The middle-aged knight glanced across the crowd and asked.

Seeing the middle-aged knight, the senior steward of the mine was visibly relieved.

I saw him quickly come to the other party, saluted in a flattering manner, and then said angrily:

"Lord Remisio...someone pretended to be our Lord Earl, and brutally killed Lord Kodd!"

As he spoke, he snotted and cried:

"You are a friend of Lord Ked and a collaborator of the workshop, please make the decision for Lord Ked!"

"Oh? Pretend to be the Earl of Castel? And kill Cord? Who is so brave?"

The middle-aged knight's expression suddenly became a little dangerous.

"It's them!"

The senior manager pointed to Charlotte and the others who were surrounded by guards.

The eyes of the middle-aged knight immediately fell on Charlotte and the others.

Sensing the aura on his body that was not weaker than his own, and the well-equipped kingdom soldiers who could cooperate with Silver Moon, Sebastian's expression suddenly became serious.

He took a step and stood in front of Charlotte.

"Elf?"

Looking at Sebastian, the middle-aged knight looked a little surprised.

But soon, he still set his sights on Charlotte and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the same time, those kingdom soldiers raised their weapons one after another, ready to attack.

All of a sudden, the originally "joyful" scene suddenly became tense.

"Lord Remisio, that's her! She also slandered Lord Kodd for colluding with outsiders!"

"Lord Remisio, as you know, Lord Cod has always worked hard, and he is a great contributor to our Castel family!"

"This impostor not only killed him, but also bewitched our Castel soldiers. You are a knight of the kingdom, please be the master of our Castel family!"

The senior manager of the mining workshop cried.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers became a little commotion.

The manager of the workshop actually planned to invite the army of the Kingdom to directly suppress the girl suspected of being Earl Castel!

"This... the management wants the Kingdom's military to take action?"

"Isn't it good? Isn't this an opportunity for the military to intervene in the affairs of the Earl?"

"What is the steward thinking?"

"This is really troublesome... I heard that Viscount Remisio has no scruples in his actions, and he does things according to his likes and dislikes, Mr. Earl... Unless she can immediately prove that she is really Mr. Earl, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be dangerous ah……"

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot.

Among the miners, the expression of the old werewolf Logan changed slightly.

His eyes fell on Noah and Luf, and he took a closer look at Charlotte, who was still sitting gracefully and extremely calm, his eyes flickered slightly.

After a little hesitation, the old werewolf Logan gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted:

"I...I can testify! She is the Earl!"

"Master Earl came to Weibo for a private visit to investigate the truth about the depletion of the Mithril Mine! So he didn't bring other nobles along!"

After hearing the old werewolf Logan's words, the onlookers were stunned.

Then, subconsciously took a step away from him.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on the old werewolf, and even Viscount Remisio showed an expression of interest.

"Logan! You goofy bastard! What are you talking about?!"

The senior manager's expression changed slightly, and he cursed angrily.

"Guards! Why are you still standing there? Detain this werewolf who colluded with outsiders!"

He ordered the guards again.

However, when the senior manager turned around, he was slightly taken aback.

Not only did Castel's guards not take any action, they stood in front of Charlotte, watching the regular army of the kingdom warily.

"Raymond! Frey! What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

The senior manager said angrily.

The two guard officers glanced at Viscount Remisio, and said coldly:

"Your Excellency, are you crazy?"

"Regardless of whether this is the Earl or not, Castel's affairs...cannot be interfered by nobles from other kingdoms!"

Seeing this scene, the old werewolf Logan was refreshed and became more courageous:

"Clan people! That is the Earl of Castel! The Earl is here this time to rectify the mine!"

"Follow me! Protect the Earl with the guards! Don't let these kingdom troops hurt the Earl!"

As he said that, he actually took the lead, rushed out of the crowd, and stood by Charlotte and the guards.

And with his leadership, some clever miners also took action immediately, picked up the mining tools and ran towards the mine.

In the blink of an eye, the mine was clearly divided into two factions, which was extremely dramatic.

The senior manager of the workshop stared blankly at the Castel guards and a group of miners who quickly defected following the arrival of the Kingdom's army, tremblingly said:

"It's reversed... everything is reversed!"

"Rebellion! This is rebellion!"

"Master Viscount! These people have been completely bewitched! Please help my Castel family suppress these traitors!"

After hearing the words of the senior manager, Sebastian's expression froze slightly.

"Master, this viscount... I'm afraid he's also from that side."

He looked at the middle-aged knight warily and said in a low voice.

However, when Sebastian looked at Charlotte, he found that Charlotte's expression was still calm.

Not only was he calm, but he also looked at the middle-aged knight with a hint of a smile.

Sebas was slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Charlotte stand up from her seat and walk forward.

The guards and miners standing in front of Charlotte hesitated for a moment, and moved out of the way under Charlotte's signal. After reaching the front of the crowd, Charlotte calmly looked at the expressionless middle-aged knight, and suddenly smiled :

"Your Excellency Viscount Remisio, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still look so mighty and extraordinary."

"After so many years, I wonder if Mrs. Camille's body is recovering well?"

After hearing what Charlotte said, the middle-aged knight narrowed his eyes again.

Immediately afterwards, his expression suddenly turned cold:

"Come here, take down this sinner who offended the nobles of the kingdom!"

Hearing Viscount Remisio's order, the senior manager of the workshop breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he was shocked to find that a soldier of the Kingdom Army had put a sword on his neck.

"Re...Master Remisio?"

He stared blankly at the middle-aged knight with astonishment on his face.

However, Viscount Remisio didn't even look at him at all.

I saw the captain of the kingdom's military salute slightly to Charlotte, and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, Count Castel, I haven't seen you for many years."
