Chapter 214 -64- Contractor, you should feel lucky
Of course, Charlotte would not let two guys who knew some of her core secrets roam freely under her nose, nor would she naively think that Agnès and Rahel would really be loyal to her.
Just because she doesn't take action doesn't mean that other beings won't take action. As the first being to actively sign a contract with her, Nice has always been very keen on letting others enjoy the same treatment as it once did.
Of course, this time it's not a servant's oath, it's just a contract to keep a secret.
Revealing secrets will result in death, but betrayal will only result in a curse and a mark.
The final vow of a servant is too overbearing, and the connection between master and servant must be deeper. Charlotte will not sign such a contract with everyone she meets.
For Agnes and Rahel, this general contract is enough.
Charlotte also doesn't want to be a tyrant who relies on contracts to maintain her rule.
Of course, there are deeper reasons.
Agnes and Rahel are originally vampires, and Charlotte, who possesses the Blood Scripture, is absolutely suppressed. As long as there is a connection with them, they cannot get out of Charlotte's palm.
As for after signing the contract, the two of them were left to Shirley for training just like Rena at the beginning, and maybe Sebas will be added to them after Sebas comes back.
Charlotte didn't have much expectations for the two of them. She simply thought that their disguise as Earl Hall might be of some use, and she had a certain fondness for them as members of the vampire race, something that she might not even be aware of.
The hope of arrival.
Although I don’t know what the relationship between gods and believers is like in this world, gods need believers after all.
Since he is likely to become a vampire god, he should accept as many vampires as possible as future reserve believers.
I'm not sure when I will find a better way to replenish the divine power of blood.
As for Agnes's Necronomicon, Charlotte returned it to the other party after signing the contract. As she owns the Holy Book of Blood, it is not very cost-effective for her to hold this sacred instrument that already has an owner.
It's better to leave it to Agnes, a big wretch.
"This... is this going to be returned to me?"
After receiving the Book of the Dead from the maid's hand, Agnes was stunned.
She came to Beigang this time to get back her Necronomicon, but in the end she didn't expect that it would be returned after she was forced to surrender.
Above the Necronomicon, the illusory book spirit floated steadily, with its arms folded over its shoulders, looking like the stinky fart she was most familiar with.
Not only that, the book spirit who looked like Aladdin's djinn even looked at her condescendingly, and those who didn't know thought it was the owner:
"Contractor, since you have become the subject of that existence, you should serve Him well from now on."
"For you, this is a good opportunity. You must know that in the long years, countless people have been unable to see Him, let alone be promised a contract."
"You should thank the Supreme Being for giving infinite possibilities to humble ants like you..."
Shu Ling's voice was quite arrogant, and the tone was like a young girl who was forced to submit but got a huge advantage.
However, at this moment, Agnes ignored Shu Ling's condescending tone and her past demeanor in which she wanted to beat him up.
"He? The supreme existence? So...she is really a resurrected god? Do you even know which god she is?!"
"Who is she? Tell me quickly! Tell me!"
She looked at Shu Ling excitedly.
However, Shu Ling raised his head proudly and did not miss a word:
"The Supreme Being has not told you His true identity. Naturally, He has his own reasons. Naturally, our servants will not disobey His will."
Looking at Shu Ling's "I know but I just won't tell you" look, Agnes gritted her teeth angrily:
"You guy! Don't forget that you are my contracted weapon spirit first, and I am your master!"
"Hmph! Even if you don't tell me, I will figure out who she is sooner or later! The days are long and I will one day know her identity!"
The girl shook her fist at Shu Ling angrily.
Looking at the girl and the book spirit who started to quarrel again, just like in the past in Earl Hall's castle, the middle-aged knight Rahel sighed, not knowing what to say.
Miss...it seems that she has completely forgotten the oath she made not long ago when she refused to surrender steadfastly.
…
Perhaps the will of the top brass of the Ness clan played a role. After the remote meeting, the obstacles to Viscount Lenn-Castle's review mission were further weakened.
Although there will still be some resistance, those who resist are almost all nobles, but it is rare to see real vampires anymore.
Without the support of the Ness clan, the infiltrated nobles were obviously no match for the Leon-Castle family. With the support of the Count's will, the review plan was carried out more smoothly.
The demesne of Castel did not uncover even one vampire.
In fact, it is not that there are no vampires anymore. When Charlotte used the call of blood to project the Dark Night Castle to spy on the remote meeting of the Ness clan, Charlotte discovered many crimson light groups very close to herself. It was obvious that they were
A blood descendant who lives in seclusion in the Beigang Direct Territory.
Castel is a weak area of the Holy Royal Court, so it is normal to have blood descendants who live in seclusion in the human world. In a sense, Agnes and Rahel are both such blood descendants.
However, those infiltrators belonging to the Ness clan did retreat on their own initiative.
Charlotte couldn't tell whether she was satisfied or regretful about this.
Perhaps she subconsciously expected that the Ness clan would not back down, so that it would be easier for her to uproot all the potential opponents in the territory...
As for those vampires living in seclusion in the North, Charlotte also had some ideas and planned to wait until the power of the Castel Territory was integrated before taking action.
As for Viscount Leon Castells, he left after completing the review of the demesne.
This is not the end, but the starting point.
It only took less than three days to review the direct territory. The next step was to review all the nobles in the entire earl territory.
Before leaving, the old viscount also formally met with the professional assistant mentioned by the earl.
"My lord the count's... cat?"
Looking at the Castel maid standing behind him, eating like sesame balls, and the black cat Nice with its tail raised high, the old Viscount looked very wonderful.
Nice raised his head and chest and cleared his throat:
"His Excellency, Viscount Leon Castell, my name is Nice, I am the contract partner of Lady Charlotte, and I am also a devout believer in the contract."
"I will accompany you for the next review."
A super intelligent creature that can talk!
Seeing the black cat speaking, Viscount Len Castel's eyes widened immediately.
Sure enough, Castel’s heritage cannot be underestimated!
…
Viscount Len-Castell left Northport with Nice.
With the last big noble family leaving, Beigang has returned to its former peace.
The censorship operation only targeted the nobility, and Charlotte had relatively strong control over the demesne and acted relatively quickly, so it did not interfere too much with the lives of civilians.
However, the entire Beigang bureaucracy has experienced a major earthquake. Even if she, the hands-off shopkeeper, wants to be lazy, she will be busy for a while these days.
As the Earl of the North, Charlotte was soon drowned in the sea of files sent from all over the demesne, and many of these matters were handled by Maddock in the past.
"Perhaps, a new Beigang mayor should be appointed as soon as possible."
Looking at the pile of files getting higher and higher, Charlotte rubbed her temples with a headache.
"Lord Charlotte, the milk is warmed up."
On the side of the desk, the maid Shirley respectfully poured milk for her.
Charlotte picked it up with satisfaction and took a sip, but suddenly her heart moved slightly and she looked at the head maid who was hesitant to speak:
"Shirley, you seem to have something to say?"
Shirley seemed to hesitate, but quickly nodded gently.
She suddenly knelt down on one knee, and in Charlotte's surprised eyes, she raised both hands the bottle of blood that Charlotte had given her, and she could become a blood dependent by drinking it:
"Lord Charlotte, you suggested before... I have thought about it."
"I...I'm afraid I can't drink it and become your dependent."
My health is not good yet. I am still short today, but it should be almost the same tomorrow.
