Chapter 169 -19- Do the elves also have discrimination?
The next morning, outside Beigang City.
Charlotte, who had put on aristocratic clothing suitable for going out, sat in the carriage and looked out the window at the street scene of Beigang with interest.
Boats sailed slowly on the clear waterway, and pedestrians were bustling on the streets of the ancient city on the shore.
Occasionally, you can hear the melodious bells ringing from afar, startling a group of seagulls.
Not to mention how the Church of the Holy Royal Court has declined and become here, the bells ringing at fixed times are quite punctual.
The majestic old castle in the distance, the quietly flowing canal nearby, the various Gothic buildings stretching on both sides of the waterway, plus the pedestrians' clothing that is obviously much more avant-garde than Boulder... Charlotte
Suddenly, I had the illusion of going back to Venice in the early Renaissance in movies and TV shows.
She originally thought that she would be more high-profile if she still wore aristocratic clothes, but after taking a closer look at the pedestrians coming and going in Beigang, it turns out that the textile industry here is so powerful that even the attire of a small citizen can match that of Boll.
The degree of virtue of country nobles.
Although Bold was originally considered a relatively poor principality in the kingdom, this is enough to explain many problems.
Thanks to Castres Silver Mine.
It not only brought a lot of wealth to Beigang, but also unlimited business opportunities and capital for primitive accumulation.
This place is not only rich, but also has a large population, a large number of immigrants coming from all over, and a sufficient labor force. It is simply a chosen place.
If it were placed in Blue Star, it would be extremely suitable for industrial innovation. It would definitely be the origin of new trends of thought.
Even if there is extraordinary power in the world of Miria, Charlotte feels that it is not impossible to create a magical version of the Magical Revolution.
A small breeze was blowing, Xiao Jing watched, Charlotte waited boredly, and while she was thinking randomly, the melodious music enhanced the atmosphere.
It wasn't until the familiar figure of Sebastian appeared in her field of vision that Charlotte perked up and motioned to Shirley beside her to open the carriage door.
Sebastian smiled and said thank you to Shirley, then gracefully got into the car, which was large enough for four people, and sat down opposite Charlotte.
As for Nice, he also jumped on it.
It first looked at Charlotte's legs, then at Shirley's legs, and after weighing the pros and cons, it finally jumped onto Rena's lap opposite Shirley.
Reina was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stroked Nice's head, causing the fat cat to immediately show an extremely comfortable expression.
Charlotte gave it a curious look.
But after noticing that Rena had also relaxed after holding the black cat, she finally sighed softly and slowly withdrew her gaze.
"How's it going? Is everything done?"
Looking at the relaxed Sebastian opposite her again, Charlotte asked.
Sebas was about to speak, but Nice, who was being jerked off by Rena, spoke proudly:
"Hey, of course it's all done! Lady Charlotte, don't even look at who is taking action. I, Nice, are taking action. No matter how deep those guys hide, they have to be found out!"
However, this time, Sebas unexpectedly did not quarrel with Nice, but nodded:
"Yes, as you have judged, Your Excellency Nice is indeed very sensitive to smells. Those people who were secretly all were all tied up by us and thrown at the gate of the city hall."
"town Hall?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, I briefly interrogated them. They are all sent by the nobles in the territory to keep an eye on you and monitor your movements. It is most appropriate for such people to be handed over to the city hall."
Sebastian said respectfully.
After hearing this, Charlotte narrowed her eyes:
"As soon as I arrived in Beigang, they sent people to keep an eye on me. It seems that the nobles of Castel are also a little fishy..."
"Hey, we have already told the chubby city official. When we return, you will see a detailed list."
Nice chuckled.
"That's right, let Madoc have a headache about this matter. It will also be a good time to see if he is really loyal to me."
Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.
Let's say that Charlotte, who has a keen sense of spirituality, sensed that someone was watching her when she was preparing to leave for the Eastern Mine after dinner this morning.
And, there are quite a few.
So, she stopped and sent Sebas and Nice directly to find these guys one by one.
Apart from the liberation of her True Ancestor, Sebastian's force value is MAX, and she is invincible in the Castel Territory where there is no Blazing Sun.
As for the black cat Ness…
After experiencing the incident with the Premonition Witch Anna, Charlotte unexpectedly discovered that this guy's perception was terrifyingly strong, completely different from its Schrödinger's crotch-stretching strength, and it was actually very suitable for being a cat-shaped detector.
So, one cat and one dog cooperated under the owner's command, and so far, it turned out to be surprisingly good.
"Okay, now that there are no more flies, let's set off. If we walk faster, we can have dinner in the mining area. Remember, our status these days is that we came to Castel from the Moon Protector Principality to do mithril business.
Noble, and my name is Agnès de Broglie."
Charlotte smiled.
The most common people in the Castel Territory are caravans and nobles doing business. Such identities are the most suitable for hiding.
Charlotte even prepared an aristocratic sun hat that can cover her face, which can block both her true appearance and the sun.
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian smiled slightly and bowed gracefully:
"Then...Miss Agnes, I will be your housekeeper Rahel."
"I'm Lisa, the maid."
Shirley said coldly and simply.
As she said that, she looked at Reina opposite:
"You are the maid...Liya."
Lena looked at Charlotte, then at Shirley opposite, tilted her head in confusion, and nodded obediently.
"Hey, Lady Charlotte, then I am your coachman Kaul."
From the front of the carriage, an eager male voice came. He was Rand, the only knight in Charlotte's bodyguard who had set foot on the stars.
Sebas, Nice, Shirley, and Rena, the royal blood descendant collected on Charlotte's road, plus Rand, the young knight in charge of driving, are Charlotte's lineup heading to the eastern mining area this time.
Among them, the two outstanding ones, Sebas and Nice, must be brought along. As for Shirley... she was so good at being a maid that the increasingly degenerate Charlotte couldn't help but want to take her with her to do things.
This trip, Charlotte estimates, will take at least three days, and may involve further disguise and lurking in the process. Considering that her own skills in this area are almost useless, and Sebastian is
It is normal for men to have a reliable maid by their side.
As for Lena... this girl who is probably the last royal descendant has been in a very low mood since Anna disappeared. Charlotte didn't feel confident leaving her alone in the Earl's Mansion, so she simply took her with her.
Take some time to relax.
However, although it was for fun, this man's force value was also good. He also helped the convoy fight against the undead when the undead attacked. He was also an initiate, and his real strength was probably no less than that of Xia who had not been liberated by the true ancestor.
Lot.
Facts have proved that her choice was not bad. After coming out together, Reina obviously felt a lot more relaxed, especially when she was holding Nice, the perverted cat.
Although Charlotte was very suspicious that the black cat would take advantage of the situation, what surprised her was that when getting along with Lena, Nice, who had always been cowardly, was quite honest.
So Charlotte just turned a blind eye and closed one eye.
As for Rand... it's just because Charlotte needs a coachman, and he is the strongest among the followers.
Carrying Charlotte and his party, the carriage quickly set off, heading east towards the Castel Territory.
The Castel Mining Area is located on the eastern border of the Castel Territory, adjacent to the Grand Duchy of the North.
Unlike most areas in the county, it is not a plain, but low mountains and hills.
Of course, it is said to be in the east, but relative to Beigang in the north, the direction is southeast.
The distance between the mining area and Beigang is not too far, because caravans often come and go, and a spacious and flat official road has been built, which is very suitable for horse racing. It only takes a day to drive quickly.
Charlotte and his party set out in the morning, and at dusk arrived at the main settlement in the mining area - Silver Mining City.
As the name suggests, Silver Mining City is a city developed from silver mining. It was once just a settlement for miners, but today it has become a medium-sized city with a population of about 70,000.
There is a tall city wall guarding the outside of the city, which is twelve meters high. It is said that it was built to prevent the invasion of the Northern Grand Duchy in the northeast.
Different from Beigang, which has a Renaissance style and petty bourgeois sentiment, Caiyin City is more rugged and has a steampunk feel. Various metal workshops can be seen everywhere, and even abandoned mines can be seen in the city.
Here, the races are surprisingly mixed. Charlotte not only saw humans, but also elves, dwarves, orcs and demi-humans.
Among them, most elves and dwarves are craftsmen, most of whom have aloof status. Orcs and demi-humans are relatively low-level. Many are miners, some are hired, and some are simply slaves.
"Xia...um...Ms. Agnes, where should we go next?"
Rand stopped his horse, looked at the dazzling streets, and asked respectfully.
Charlotte and Sebastian looked at each other:
"Has the message been sent?"
"It has been sent out."
Sebastian answered respectfully.
"Where is the location?"
"The Metasequoia Hotel, Luv said it is the best hotel here, and it is also where most caravans and nobles stay."
Charlotte nodded, and then said to Rand who was driving the car:
"Go to the Metasequoia Hotel."
…
Rand drove the carriage and asked passers-by for directions. About ten minutes later, he stopped in front of a hotel with a distinct elven style.
The group of people got out of the car, with Sebas standing beside Charlotte as the butler, Shirley and Reina in maid uniforms standing behind her on the left and right, and at the end was Rand as the attendant.
As for Nice, he had already jumped out of Lena's arms and was walking on the other side of Charlotte as if competing with Sebas.
The interior decoration of the hotel also has a strong natural elf style. After Charlotte and her party entered, an elf waiter quickly greeted him with a smile. He went straight to Charlotte, who was obviously the owner, and asked respectfully:
"Does this guest want to stay or dine?"
Charlotte retracted her gaze and looked around curiously, signaling for Sebastian to respond, and Sebastian took a step forward and said with a smile:
"Accommodation, and book a private room at the same time."
The elf waiter couldn't help but look at his outstanding appearance and nodded lightly.
Sebastian covered his ears today and was not recognized as an elf.
The accommodation procedures were completed quickly. It was a suite exclusively for nobles. It was also divided into many rooms, with a total of five bedrooms, one master and four bedrooms.
Charlotte has her own master bedroom, Sebastian, Shirley and Rena each have a second bedroom, while Nice and Rand share a second bedroom.
Nice:…
"Against me! Sebastian, you are targeting me!"
It spoke angrily.
"Be content, as a cat you can still sleep in the bedroom."
Sebastian said with a smile.
"Discrimination! You are discriminating!"
The black cat blows its beard and stares.
Rand looked at Nice with a silly smile, scratched his head and said:
"Mr. Nice, don't worry, I don't snore at night."
Nice:…
After packing up and bowing, the group went to have a meal.
Dinner is also a typical elf style. There is almost no meat and only one meat dish, but the overall taste is excellent and the preparation is exquisite.
Charlotte liked the mead brewed by the elves very much. It reminded her subconsciously of the pineapple beer she drank in her previous life, but it was cooler and more delicious.
Two maids and a knight feasted.
However, Charlotte did not eat too much, but only tasted a little.
The same goes for Sebastian.
After everyone had finished eating, Charlotte said to the two maids and a knight:
"You guys, let's go out and look around first. Next...Sebas, I, and our guests are going to meet."
Neither Lena nor Rand has truly entered Charlotte's inner circle, and Shirley...has not yet made up her mind to become Charlotte's dependent, so naturally there is still a layer between them.
After receiving the order, several people respectfully left, while Charlotte asked the hotel to serve food again.
Nice also stayed. Although this guy was unremarkable, as Charlotte's indentured servant, he was still considered a member of the inner circle.
The two people and the cat waited like this until about fifteen minutes later, the room was opened.
With her keen sense, she sensed the identity of the visitor, and Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She smiled slightly and said:
"Please come in."
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall, sturdy figure walked in.
It was none other than the leader of the demihuman tribe in Boulder who believed in the True Ancestor, the werewolf Luf.
Let's say that two months ago, the werewolf tribe received the oracle from the "True God" and headed north to Castells. At the same time, Charlotte, as the master of the Rose Society, assigned Luv the task of investigating the silver mine.
To this day, I must have gained something.
Unlike in Boulder, at this moment he was dressed in rugged miner's clothing and looked quite heroic and vicissitudes of life.
"Lord Charlotte, Lord Sebastian, I'm sorry... I came late and was delayed at the bar for a while."
He smiled honestly and said sheepishly.
Charlotte was a little surprised:
"The bar won't let you in?"
"Um...those elves initially thought of me as a demi-human slave in the mining area."
Lu Fu scratched his head helplessly.
Charlotte's expression suddenly felt strange.
She couldn't help but glance at Sebastian:
"The elves are also discriminated against?"
Sebastian spread his hands:
"No, many elves with a tradition of arrogance almost discriminate against anyone except the elves and those with beauty comparable to the elves."
Charlotte:……
She glanced at Lu Fu's big face, which had deep scars and was covered with thick hair, and didn't look like a good boy, and silently withdrew her gaze.
After coughing slightly, she said:
"Mr. Luf, thank you for your hard work. I would like to ask how the investigation is going on regarding the Castel Silver Mine?"
Lu Fu looked solemn:
"Lord Charlotte, there is something wrong with the Castel Silver Mine!"
