-38- Sebastian's decision(1/2)
In the next few days, Charlotte's life became much calmer.
I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, then worship religiously with the priests from the church, and then receive "spiritual treatment" from the priests from the church hospital.
Her enthusiastic attitude, initiative in action, and fervent belief won her praises from the priests who came to make extra money.
Charlotte is indeed very religious.
Looking at the blood summoning charging bar that has started to skyrocket again, she sends heartfelt blessings and heartfelt thanks to the great Lord Harald in her heart every day...
My only regret is probably not being able to see Miss Lottie.
The beautiful Priestess is not only eye-catching, fragrant and soft, but also brings a natural closeness to Charlotte.
She is the first person who treats Charlotte well after time travel.
During those days in the hospital, Lottie took meticulous care of her, and Charlotte could truly feel her heartfelt concern and tenderness.
Charlotte was originally looking forward to the other party's visit, but all the priests who came were male.
Each one is more enthusiastic than the other, but it's just not eye-catching.
After some cuteness, having sex, and chatting with the priest, Charlotte realized that Lottie was going to the cathedral to study these days.
Pity.
After the "Sacred Scripture Recharging" in the morning is over, it's lunch time.
The new maid who took office respectfully divided the food and poured milk for the girl, causing Charlotte to return to the sinful life of reaching out for clothes and opening her mouth for food.
Lunch was sumptuous as always.
Quasimodo finally succeeded in persuading Charlotte's idea of drastically increasing the meal fee, and in the end only reduced the meal fee to one-fifth of the original price.
According to him, he had chosen a pair of the least valuable porcelain and exchanged it for 80,000 quintana at a pawn shop run by a Yuca man, which was enough for the next expenses.
There are several rooms in the manor with similar collections...
Charlotte was really shocked by her family's heritage.
She thought it was a miracle that no thieves were paying attention to the manor during this period.
"They don't dare, because the Duke's Palace has been sending people to help keep an eye on it in the past few days, and the team leader is even an initiate, and now... you have hired a demon hunting knight to patrol around."
Quasimodo explained.
"What about our initiates? Don't tell me that the mighty Castel family doesn't even have a single transcendent who has advanced."
Charlotte asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
Quasimodo sighed:
"There are indeed initiates in the family, and there are even two viscounts of the second rank of Silver Moon. In the past, there had to be at least one who would always accompany the lord, but in recent years, all the initiates have been gradually replaced by the previous ones.
That one was sent back to the earldom under various pretexts..."
Charlotte understood instantly.
It's not that Castel doesn't have extraordinary beings.
But the old witch was afraid that she would be exposed, so she sent them all back to her territory.
This resulted in the Castle Manor in Boulder being left bare!
"That's outrageous. She's not afraid of being attacked."
The girl murmured.
"With the church and the Sacred Code here, who dares to cause chaos in the capital?"
Quasimodo shook his head.
"What about now, such a big thing happened in the manor, why are there no initiates in the territory rushing back?"
Charlotte asked again.
Quasimodo was silent.
Obviously, he couldn't answer this question.
Maybe he guessed something, but didn't dare to answer.
Charlotte soon came back to her senses.
"Hey, it's not easy to be a feudal lord..."
She sighed helplessly.
Those who are loyal to the nobility, of course, also belong to the aristocracy.
If you are a noble, you almost have a fiefdom.
Even if you don't have a fief, it's easy to get a country manor.
And when there is territory, there is selfishness...
Obviously, the Castel family, which has been managed by the old countess for ten years, is probably in a mess internally.
Castel's title succession has not yet been finalized, and everyone is waiting to see.
Of course, this is not what Charlotte is worried about now.
What we really need to worry about is after she successfully inherits the territory in the future.
Now that she has not officially inherited the territory, she cannot even command the lower-level nobles...
After lunch, I drank a glass of milk as usual, and then took a nice nap. In the afternoon, it was time to train the servants.
Prestige is indeed a good thing.
It can both intimidate and charm.
Coupled with Charlotte's own understanding of aristocratic etiquette, she was able to train the newcomers in a decent manner within a few days, and they respected and feared her.
Charlotte estimated that given a few months, all these people could transform into her shape from top to bottom.
Ask them to go east, and as soon as you give them a look, they will all stick their butts out and go east.
And with training day by day, the proficiency of low-level majestic techniques has risen almost like a rocket.
On the third day, it exceeded 100. It was promoted from beginner to proficient, and the progress bar also became 0/300.
The power has not increased much, but it has become easier to use, and at least the duration has become quite long.
In the past, it only lasted fifteen minutes if it was used once.
Now, it can last almost an hour.
Charlotte estimated that in another week, she should be able to move up to the next level.
In the evening, she has more free time. Charlotte usually chooses to read books to recharge her batteries and absorb as much knowledge about the world as possible.
Especially information about nobles and their own families.
And as she got to know more deeply, she also understood a little bit why she always felt that her territory's response was so slow.
Nothing else, because the Count of Castres was originally an enclave of the Duchy of Bold.
The Principality of Bold is located on the southwest coast of the Crescent Kingdom.
However, the Earl of Castel is located on the northern coast, which is the northern border of the kingdom. The first Earl of Castel personally conquered the territory from the orc tribe.
The area is quite small, accounting for one-third of the total area of the Duchy of Boulder.
The two duchy territories are one in the south and the other in the north. They are separated by several duchies and counties. The strong control will lead to ghosts.
In fact, the Castel family has actually lived a small life in their own territory for generations, and only comes to the territory to meet the lord once a year.
It wasn't until the previous generation of Earls became the leader of the Principality's mages that they lived in Boulder City for a long time.
As for the family's strong source of income... it's easy to put it simply. In layman's terms, the Castel family owns mines.
It is also a silver mine that is associated with mithril.
In addition, as a territory across the sea from the Kingdom of Fallen Star, a close neighbor of the Grand Duchy of the North, it is the only land route leading to the Badlands of East Yunet and even the Kingdom of Coria in the east... In recent years, the Earl has
Business development is also booming.
Charlotte finally understood why the nobles were so greedy for their own territory.
It was indeed a barren place hundreds of years ago, but now it is a land of hope with high potential for future development.
In addition to researching family information, the girl also did not forget to look for a vest in the bloodline book.
After picking and choosing, Charlotte discovered that the effect of her majestic technique was very similar to the blood power of an ancient declining noble family in the Eastern Kingdom of Coria.
This bloodline has a very resounding name - Tianxuan.
The effect is to strengthen physical fitness in all aspects, increase the probability of becoming a knight or a mage, and add "power" that can be actively released like a majestic technique.
This bloodline had good abilities, it was like a panacea for armor, so she used it directly.
I just don't know if she, who is already a vampire, can truly awaken the power of the noble bloodline.
Charlotte still feels resentful about the "half-elf" in her bloodline, but she can't find out why by asking Quasimodo or looking through literature.
To be continued...
