Tome of Blood

Indeed, thinking about it differently, if she was Agnès and knew that there were three earls and one duke behind Earl Hall, Charlotte felt that she might have run away long ago.

The one who is as bold as Agnes and dares to pretend to be a brave person is brave.

"Have the three earls... all arrived in Castres?"

Charlotte asked again.

Agnes shook her head:

"I'm not sure, we've only seen them in meetings, where we couldn't even see each other's figures clearly, if Earl Hall hadn't used special magic props to disguise his real voice every time we held a meeting, we Couldn't even pretend to be him."

"However, judging from the few words in the meeting, it is likely that Earl Urst, the highest-ranking Earl, should be conducting remote command in the Fallen Star Kingdom. As for the Earl of Nottingham, every time Earl Urst asks about him, it is always about the Roman Dukedom. , presumably very likely to sit in the Principality of Romania, and questions about Castel will always be asked of us and Earl Lachlan, especially the latter, and it must be Earl Lachlan who clearly came to the new moon."

In other words, it is very likely that the Earl of Lachlan was the only one who personally participated in the infiltration of the nobles of Castel?

After getting this answer, Charlotte was somewhat relieved.

The pressure of three Chi Yangs and one legend is a little bit heavy for her, but if there is only one Chi Yang involved in Castel's infiltration, it will be much easier.

This is also consistent with Castel's current situation.

In all fairness, if there were really three blazing suns attacking Castel, Charlotte felt that her territory would have changed her surname long ago.

But in fact, although Castel has been infiltrated quite seriously, she still has a certain degree of control.

This can be seen from the fact that the nobles still need to use rumors to attack her prestige in the territory.

Only those who still have threats will be dealt with in this low-handed way.

At the same time, only the Blood Earl of Lachlan participated in Castel's infiltration, which shows that the Ness clan is not just targeting Castel.

If it was only aimed at Castel, it would be impossible for one earl to work while the other earls were still watching.

Charlotte believed that this meant that the Ness clan had a bigger conspiracy than controlling Castel. Infiltrating Castel was probably only a necessary part of their plan, and the other earls had other tasks.

That's a good thing!

This shows that as long as you are careful, Charlotte should not attract the attention of the Duke of Blood for the time being.

She really doesn't want to deal with the Duke of Blood. If she can become the Duke of Blood, she must be a celebrity next to the blood prince. If she is not careful, she will attract a real myth.

but……

Earl Hall also disguised his identity during meetings?

Noticing the detail mentioned by Agnès, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

If you have a meeting with your own person, pretending to be unnecessary is unnecessary, unless you are not your own person.

In this way, Earl Hall and the Ness clan should only cooperate, and they may even be wary of each other.

This can also explain why Earl Hall has a problem here, and the Ness clan has never known about it.

However, something went wrong with Earl Hall, and the plan of the Ness clan is still going on, which shows that the matters that Earl Hall is responsible for should not be very important.

In other words, things that don't require him to worry too much.

Considering that Sebastian's investigation revealed that the main move of the Guixing United Chamber of Commerce is to acquire Mithril, Charlotte speculates that Earl Hall is most likely responsible for the transfer of Mithril.

This is indeed important.

However, if the operation of the firm is already on the right track, Earl Hall, who is behind the scenes, is not so important.

Thinking of this, Charlotte asked again:

"On weekdays When you have meetings, do they communicate with you much?"

Agnès was taken aback, then replied:

"This...fortunately, in fact, in most cases, we are just listeners, and they don't ask us too many questions. I always feel...they seem to be a little wary of us."

"However, thanks to this reason, we can continue to pretend."

After hearing what Agnès said, Charlotte had a weird expression.

Something happened to Earl Hall, but the Ness clan didn't notice the problem, and they were even wary of Agnès and the others during their usual meetings.

This sounds...why does it feel like Earl Hall was actually emptied out by the Ness clan long ago?

"Apart from the three Earls of Blood, did Earl Hall have any contacts with anyone before?"

Charlotte thought for a while and asked again.

"I don't know, I was just treated as a maid by him before, and it's only been three years since I gained his trust."

Agnes shook her head.

But it seemed that she had thought of something again, she looked thoughtful again, and recalled:

"However... he seems to have a good relationship with the elves. I remember that when he was in the castle, he would occasionally see elves visiting him."

Elf?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, she thought of the branch of the Ness clan on Luna Island.

Quixote mentioned that the elves of Luna Island were also involved in the plan of the Ness clan. Could it be that Earl Hall's work is also related to this?

"Didn't you investigate at all what they were doing?"

Charlotte couldn't help asking.

"I told you, we dare not!"

"Since you don't dare to investigate what they are doing, why take the risk of pretending to be Earl Hall?"

Agnes was silent.

After a long time, she said lonely and authentically:

"Because Earl Hall mentioned before that if the plan goes well, they will be able to gain a firm foothold in the human world, and even obtain the title of knight in the sun..."

"I want the title, I want to return to the human world and regain the title!"

"Regain the title?"

Charlotte looked surprised.

Agnes glanced at her and said with a sneer:

"It's already at this time, why are you pretending? You should have known it when you heard the surname Willett, right? My family was ruined by you Castel!"

Charlotte: ...

Castel's ruined one?

God can see, she really doesn't know this!

Not to mention that it was eighteen years ago that Agnès became a blood race, let alone the time-traveling Charlotte, the original body was not even born.

Even the surname Willett was not mentioned in the materials in the study room of the Castle Manor.

"I don't know much about the past of the family, and I am also very unfamiliar with the surname Willett."

Charlotte thought for a while and said.

After hearing Charlotte's words, Agnès broke her defense instantly.

She widened her eyes with an incredible expression:

"I don't know? You actually said you didn't know? How many years have passed, have you Castel even forgotten about us Willett?"

"I don't know, but... if you tell me, I'd like to hear it."

Charlotte changed her sitting position and said.

Agnes pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and said:

"Our Willett family has always been the Duke of Violet before the Star-Moon War."

"However, during the Star-Moon War, we lost our territory because of your Castel's betrayal. In the end, our family was ruined and we were completely removed from the nobles!"

Duke Violet?

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

This is the first time she has heard of this. She only knows that the current Duke of Violet was re-appointed by the Crescent Royal Family after the end of the Second Star-Moon War, but she really didn't know that there was a Willett family before.

"and you……"

"I am the daughter of the former Duke of Violet, Agnès de Willette."

Agnes straightened her back and said.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

It's hard for her to say anything about disputes involving the older generation.

To be honest, she didn't know much about the Star-Moon War, she only knew that the Violet Principality was the main battlefield of the Star-Moon War, and the entire Principality was almost destroyed.

However, if it was really because of Castel that the Willett family was ruined, then the beam... is a bit big.

"Okay, I've told you everything I know, you can kill or cut as you please, but please follow the honor of the nobility and don't insult me ​​and my family!"

Agnes said coldly.

Seeing her look of resignation to death, Charlotte was happy:

"Are you not afraid that I will really kill you?"

Agnes pursed her lips and said:

"Death is better than being an enemy prisoner!"

"You don't want me to bow my head either! You Castel ruined my family, and I will never surrender to you Castel until I die! We are enemies until death!"

Charlotte is happier:

"Better die than surrender? The way you told me all kinds of information just now doesn't look like you would rather die than submit."

Agnes: ...

Her face turned pale and red for a while, and finally she snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Charlotte was inexplicably happy to see the blood girl who was stared at by herself angrily.

Instead of teasing her, she asked her last question:

"Well, Ms. Agnes, who would rather die than submit, I have one last question—"

"How did you participate in the remote meetings of those blood races? Since you can disguise your identity, you must have used some kind of magic item?"

Agnès glared at Charlotte bitterly, but kept silent.

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Miss Agnès, I have limited time. If you can't answer my question, I'll have to ask Mr. Laher."

Agnes: ...

She widened her eyes and looked at Charlotte with a look full of astonishment. The inconceivable eyes seemed to say: Why are you so shameless?

However, facing Charlotte's half-smile look, she was finally defeated, gritted her teeth and said:

"The communication crystal is a magic crystal for remote communication."

"Oh? Communication crystal? Where is it?"

Charlotte asked.

"In...my backpack."

Agnes said.

Backpacks, backpacks again.

Charlotte clicked her tongue and rang the bell.

Soon, the door of the interrogation room was knocked, and the guards pushed in and asked respectfully:

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go look through her backpack and get the crystal inside."

Charlotte said.

After a while, the guards came back and brought back a crystal clear crystal ball:

"My lord, is it it?"

Charlotte looked at Agnes, who nodded dumbly.

After being confirmed, Charlotte took the crystal ball over, and the guards respectfully retreated.

Charlotte looked carefully at the crystal ball. This crystal ball was about the size of a palm, and there was a radiance flowing in the center. If you looked closely, you would find that it was a group of runes that were constantly rotating.

"Do you want to manipulate it and sneak into those blood race meetings like us? If you have this idea, I advise you to give up."

Agnes glanced at Charlotte and said.

"oh?"

Charlotte cast her gaze with great interest, motioning for her to continue.

Agnes paused, and said:

"This communication crystal ball was handed over to Earl Hall by the Ness clan. It has been specially processed and is qualified for activation by blood. Except for the relevant blood clan, no one else can use it at all."

"Unless you are a blood relative of the relevant blood clan, such as a descendant. Of course, more noble blood is also acceptable, such as those three generations of blood clan elders."

"We can use it because I am the direct descendant of Earl Hall, and Lahair is my direct descendant."

"Although you are a blood race, you are not a blood descendant of the Ness clan, and you have nothing to do with Earl Hall. At the same time, you are a new blood race like me, and you have nothing to do with noble blood, so you cannot use it."

Saying that, Agnes looked at Charlotte seriously, and said directly:

"Unless...you are willing to let us continue to sneak into the meeting instead of you."

Charlotte gave her a meaningful look:

"Teleconference, only the participants know what happened, right?"

"So what, but you have no other choice."

Agnes said.

It seemed that she was finally able to counter Charlotte once, and at this moment she had a lot of confidence.

However, Charlotte didn't communicate with her anymore, but studied the crystal ball by herself.

Seeing Charlotte's actions, Agnes' eyes twitched:

"You want to try it yourself?"

She shook her head and said:

"With all due respect, you can't do it, you can't even activate it, let alone attend the blood race meeting."

"Your recklessness will only cause the self-destruction of the communication crystal, and arouse the vigilance of the blood clan behind the scenes. Your blood is not..."

Agnes didn't finish her sentence.

Because in Charlotte's hand, the crystal ball bloomed with brilliance, obviously activated.

Agnes' eyes widened instantly, as if she had seen a ghost.

She looked at the crystal ball in disbelief, and stammered:

"Stim... activated? How is it possible? How is this possible? How can you activate it?!"

As she spoke, she looked at Charlotte in amazement:

"You... you can activate the encryption crystal of the Ness clan?! You are definitely not an ordinary blood clan!"

"You broke the guard of the sickle of our Willett family before! Even Earl Hall's spiritual control couldn't break the guard of my sickle!"

Taking a deep breath, Agnès stared fixedly at Charlotte's eyes:

"It is impossible for a newborn blood race to have such power as you! It is absolutely impossible to have such power as you!"

"Who are you? Who are you?!"

Charlotte smiled slightly, showing a pair of cute canine teeth.

She stretched out her slender fingers and put them on her pink lips, her clear and ethereal voice was melodious, her cunning and cute appearance was like a mischievous little devil:

"you guess?"

Agnes: ...
