Chapter 163 -13- Meet the Great Ancestor

Charlotte's meaningful order caught Sebastian's heart.

There are actually other vampires hidden in Castel's convoy!

He was the one who did the personnel inspection before the convoy set off, but even he didn't find any vampire sneaking in unnoticed.

This made him feel very embarrassed, even a little embarrassed.

He is the steward of the gods!

For this reason, after leaving Charlotte's tent, he immediately started checking people.

The reason is also very good. The attack of the undead wave has frightened everyone. As the steward of the Castel family, it is necessary for him to express condolences to the family knights who stood firm in tonight's defensive battle. At the same time, he also expresses his condolences to the accompanying caravans.

apology.

As for the apology...of course it's the apology for being implicated by the Castel family.

The target of the undead is the Count of Castel. The mage who manipulates the undead is under the command of the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom. If it were not 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 we have an excuse to investigate the entire convoy, but we can also let out the news that the third prince is the mastermind behind the attack through the mouths of the accompanying caravan and the mercenaries they hired...

The caravans and mercenaries are the disseminators of a lot of information. Sebastian doesn't even need to find someone to spread it deliberately. As long as he hints when expressing condolences, this astonishing melon of the Principality of Boulder will be able to spread it in a short time.

The entire Crescent Kingdom flew within that time.

Crescent royal family, rich and beautiful unmarried countess, orphans, aristocratic conspiracy, title inheritance and necromancer...

Any one of these elements will become a "hot search" in pubs and brothels.

And as Sebastian thought, leaving aside the Castel family's own knights, even if it is gossip, it is impossible to gossip about their own lord face to face, but the accompanying businessmen knew the "truth" about tonight's attack.

But he fell asleep instantly and chased Sebas asking this question for a long time.

Nominally, he expressed his indignation at the behavior of the third prince, and expressed his understanding and gratitude to Count Castel for his apology. By the way, he might also flatter the little earl, saying that even if there was no attack by the undead, even if he did not follow Cass,

When the Terre family's convoy leaves, it is very likely that they will have encountered bandits or mercenaries who are more dangerous to them...

But in fact, everyone's eyes were shining, and they almost had the word "Bagua" written on their foreheads.

Traveling north and south, traveling east and west, selling valuable intelligence is often one of the sources of income for these merchants and mercenaries.

The quarrel between the third prince and Castel is naturally extremely valuable information.

This means that Castells is likely to further break down its relationship with the Duchy of Bold in the future, and may even send a signal that the young earl intends to break away from the duchy and become independent and directly loyal to the king.

The impact is in all aspects, and it contains great business opportunities and opportunities.

I'm afraid even Charlotte didn't expect that the caravans and mercenaries would take the news she let Sebastian know so seriously.

After all, even now, she may not have the true self-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 ahead, someone will help you "interpret" it, and someone will 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?"

Looking with some astonishment at the entourage from the vassal family who visited her late at night, Charlotte looked confused.

"No...isn't it? I heard Master Sebastian say that tonight's wave of undead was driven by the third prince..."

"How despicable and shameless! You actually did this to our Castel family! However, Lady Charlotte, you must be cautious in your relationship with the Principality of Boulder..."

"Yes, yes, if you really want to be independent, you have to communicate with the lords in the territory..."

"No, no, I think we should be independent. Our Lord Viscount has long been dissatisfied with the Principality. The Earl of Castells has contributed a lot of tax revenue to the Principality, but what has the Principality done for us? It will only lie to us.

It’s just blood sucking from my body!”

"Stupid! Without the protection of the Boulder family, Castel would have been eaten by the greedy guys around him!"

Representatives from different families were talking all over the place, and some even quarreled.

Charlotte:……

What is all this mess?

When will she become independent?

No, no, it should be said that although she does have the idea of ​​leaving Bold and starting a new business in the future, that is also the future. Why is it being brought up now?

Looking at the noisy family messengers, Charlotte was puzzled.

Gradually, she came back to her senses. It turned out that these people took her action of letting Sebas expose the news as some kind of political signal from her.

At this moment, Charlotte truly felt the power of power for the first time.

She is already a count.

Every word she says will affect the future of the entire Earl of Castells and millions of people.

But at the same time, looking at these family messengers who came to her tent and made a lot of noise, she was not in a good mood.

Putting it into perspective, if she were a representative of these families, even if she knew that the new earl intended to draw a clear line with the Bold family, she would not visit overnight, let alone quarrel in front of the earl.

They are not the heads of various 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 were at least two rounds older than her on paper, she was still a child after inheriting the title.

The attitude of the messenger often also represents the family behind it.

One can imagine the attitude of the various vassal nobles under Castre.

"Okay, stop arguing, I'm tired and need to rest."

Looking at the noisy representatives, Charlotte's voice turned cold and she issued an eviction order.

She didn't explain anything further, for fear that these guys would interpret her words in a new way and come up with more things...

The aura of the first level of Fanxing was released. Although it was not as coercive as Silver Moon, it still made the representatives who had not even entered the first level turn pale.

The crowd's voices quickly weakened.

No matter what time it is, an initiate deserves respect, let alone such a young earl.

They finally looked at the girl with awe in their eyes, bowed respectfully to her, and then left one after another.

It wasn't until they were far out of the tent that they breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh:

"You have become an initiate at a young age. The Castel family...has a successor!"

But some people couldn’t help but say:

"It is true that he is young and promising, but he is too impatient. The third prince was responsible for attacking the undead. Is it allowed to say such things? Even if it is true, it cannot be said directly!"

"Yes, that is the royal family, and it is very likely that he will be the future Duke."

"Hey, after all, you are still a child!"

"Crack!" Charlotte, who had keen senses, pinched the crystal goblet in her hand and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Damn, these noble lords are so difficult to serve!

Charlotte took a deep breath and 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 wanted to clean up, Charlotte had to return to the territory first and thoroughly understand the situation.

Although the vampires have many methods of mind control, Charlotte does not want to rely on supernatural power to forcibly gain the loyalty of the nobles.

There is no magic in this world that cannot be broken.

Shortcuts are easy to take, but they are not long-term and also carry great risks.

If she wants to turn Castel into a monolith and become the origin of her own belief foundation, then Charlotte must gain heartfelt loyalty from top to bottom in the territory.

As for now...

Let’s chat with the Necronomicon we just got.

Although she felt that this book should not bring her much information, but what if?

Thinking of this, Charlotte set her sights on the Necronomicon again.

The Necronomicon trembled slightly, as if shuddering.

…

Sebastian was unaware that representatives of the Castel family had paid a late-night visit to the Count.

In fact, even if he knew, he didn't care. He believed that the great Lady of the Night could deal with those guys.

The conscientious elf steward is still tracking down the vampires hiding in the convoy.
