She didn't expect that after just asking two questions, she would directly pull out two vampire clans!
Charlotte still knows something about the Ness clan, especially after reading the information provided by Anna, the witch of premonition.
This is the most low-key and mysterious vampire clan among the six major clans of the vampire clan. It controls the blood inheritance of the way of observing and grasping, and is often active in Falling Star Kingdom and Moon God Island.
That's right, Luna Island.
Because of the unique first embrace mechanism, any intelligent life may become a vampire. The Luna Island where the Elf Alliance is located also has vampires, and they are vampires with serious elven blood.
As a result, the Nes clan was divided into two branches: Falling Star Kingdom and Luna Island.
Both branches believe that they are the most authentic Ness orthodoxy. Among them, the Falling Star Kingdom branch is more keen on lurking in the human world and is more active, while the Luna Island branch is somewhat influenced by the elves, and is relatively
To be more independent from the world, everyone is a homebody.
There is a relationship of competition and cooperation between them. They each have their own blood duke, but they also believe in the same blood prince - Kexi the Stargazer.
When facing the outside world, especially when fighting other vampire clans, they will unite and become one with each other.
Thinking of Quixote's surprise at recognizing Sebastian's elf identity, Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she asked:
"Behind you...is the Ness clan from Fallen Star Kingdom? Is the Ness branch of Luna Island also involved in the Castel mithril mine?"
After hearing Charlotte's inquiry, Quixote shivered even more, but he did not deny it.
Charlotte knew she had asked the right question.
She recalled all the information she knew about the Vampire Clan and continued to ask:
"Why would the Ness clan... interfere with Castel's mithril mine?"
After listening to Charlotte's words, Quixote was trembling and foaming at the mouth:
"Nais...Nais has taken a fancy to Castel's mithril...They...they need mithril...a lot of mithril..."
Charlotte frowned slightly.
This is nonsense, the intervention in the mithril mine must be for mithril, but what is important is their purpose behind it.
"Why do they need large amounts of mithril? How far have they penetrated Castor? What is their ultimate goal?"
she asked again.
This time, Quixote twitched more violently, but did not answer.
Charlotte's frown deepened.
She knew that this reaction meant that her question had touched the taboo in the other person's soul contract.
If you continue to press, I'm afraid it will directly lead to the death of the other party.
The soul contract on Quixote should not belong to divine magic, and Charlotte did not receive any information about divine magic countermeasures.
She had no choice but to put this issue to rest for the time being.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte changed direction and continued to ask:
"The Valdrat clan has a transcendent status in the Kingdom of Coria and has never disdained to unite with other vampire clans, let alone seek refuge with them."
"You, Valdrat...why do you work for the Ness clan?"
The Valdrat clan should be one of the two clans with the greatest influence in the civilized world among the six clans of the Vampire clan.
They are mainly active in the Kingdom of Corea, secretly controlling the true governance of the Kingdom of Corea, and are called the Blood Palace in awe by the knowledgeable nobles of Corea.
Although the Kingdom of Coria also belongs to the sphere of influence of the Holy Royal Court, the belief in the Holy Royal Court only exists among the people and has long existed in name only among the real ruling class.
But the strange thing is that I don’t know whether the Blood Palace of the Kingdom of Corea is very cooperative with the spread of the Holy Court’s faith, or whether the two parties have secretly reached some unknown agreement. The Holy Court has always been interested in the affairs of the Kingdom of Corea.
Turn one eye and close one eye.
Charlotte knew this knowledge from Sebastian.
When this elf butler was traveling in the Kingdom of Coria, because he didn't know the real situation, he angered the pure white witch of Valdrat at a vampire gathering, and was then hunted by the entire Valdrat for more than ten years.
It wasn't until I escaped to the Crescent Kingdom that I was able to escape temporarily...
It can be said that among the six major blood clans, the Valdrat are relatively better off and the most powerful clan.
Charlotte looked at Quixote, waiting for his answer.
Quixote, on the other hand, showed pain on his face and said tremblingly:
"I... am the Exile of Valdrat..."
Exile?
Charlotte frowned slightly.
"The Exile is Valdrat's name for the exiled tribesmen. He should have betrayed Valdrat, or he might be a victim of the internal political struggle in Coria. In short... he should be Valdrat who lost power and was exiled.
The Blood of Delat."
Sebastian explained in due course.
Charlotte understood in her heart and nodded slightly.
She looked at the piles of mithril in the cave and asked insinuatingly:
"Where will these mithrils... eventually be transported?"
However, this time, Quixote was trembling like never before.
The whites of his eyes rolled back, his whole body trembled, veins popped up on his face, a growling sound came from his throat, and his breath began to become disordered rapidly.
not good!
Charlotte's expression changed slightly.
This is a direct encounter with the deepest taboo of the soul contract, and is a sign of contract backlash!
She almost instantly flashed in front of Quixote, stretched out her hand and placed it on his forehead, trying to fight against the imprisonment contract in his soul.
However, it was already too late.
"These mithril...will be transported to...Castell..."
Quixote twitched a few times, his eyes completely lost their look, and he fell directly to the ground, dying on the spot.
Charlotte's eyes darkened slightly.
The soul contract on Quixote... was more domineering than she imagined, and she had already killed Quixote with just a little delay.
"It is the true soul contract of the Vampire Clan, one of the most domineering soul contracts in Miria."
Black Cat Ness took a step forward with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I have heard of this kind of contract before. It is said that it is a match for the infamous Servant's Final Oath."
Sebastian also nodded solemnly.
Nice:…
The expression of a certain black cat suddenly froze.
Sebastian did not realize that he had inadvertently stepped on a certain cat's pain point, but said to himself in confusion:
"He is actually willing to sign a true spirit contract... Even if he is an exile, he is still a proud Valdrat. What benefits did the Ness clan promise him?"
Not understanding, Sebastian shook his head and said respectfully to Charlotte:
"Master, it seems that the place where these mithrils are finally transported is the key to the Ness clan's plan."
"The headquarters of the Ness clan is relatively close to Castel. Now it seems... I am afraid that they have taken advantage of the decline of the Castel family to extend their tentacles deep into the earl territory."
Charlotte nodded slightly.
Her judgment is the same as Sebastian's.
As an exile, Quixote was obviously absorbed into the Ness clan.
Although the other party's various reactions and answers did not directly answer her doubts, they have shown that the secret force that affects the attitude of the local nobles in Castel towards her is probably the Ness clan of the blood clan!
The Ness clan has infiltrated into Castel and may have recruited some of the nobles.
They are probably planning something in Castres.
Thinking of this, Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.
It seemed that she had to pay more attention to the banquet in a few days and clean up the traitors within her family.
Also, the Ness clan...
Charlotte's eyes flashed slightly:
"Sebas, after you go back, do a good job investigating the flow of mithril in the territory in recent years, especially in the black market."
Although Quixote is dead, he gave Charlotte the direction.
If you figure out where Mithril went, you might be able to learn the secrets of the Ness clan.
The reason why the Ness clan, which has always kept aloof from the world, uncharacteristically extended its tentacles to Castel may have something to do with the secret of their plan.
And that... is not just because Castel is rich in mithril!
"I will obey your orders."
Sebastian put his right hand on his chest and said.
After saying that, he took the initiative to step forward, turned over Quixote's body, took back the cursed pages in his hand, and at the same time did not forget to look through his pockets.
Quixote died, and the last bit of dragon scales on his face completely fell off.
After being turned over by Sebastian, a pale and handsome face was revealed.
Seeing that cheek, the little werewolf Noah, who was still kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Ah! It's the chief steward of the mining workshop! He is Lord Cod, the chief steward of the mining workshop!"
Chief Steward of the Mining Workshop?
Charlotte glanced at the little werewolf and her heart moved slightly.
As Castor's biggest cash cow, the appointment of the chief steward of the mining workshop must be decided at a meeting of all nobles with dividend rights, and the final decision is made by the Count of Castel.
Of course, the title of Earl of Castres has been vacant for several years.
Although Charlotte has been a nominal little earl for more than ten years, her father did not have time to identify her as the heir before he died in the war. Before she succeeded to the throne, her grandmother intervened in the management of the earldom, and she was not affected by the territorial nobles.
Support, so it is not recognized.
Grandma Cheap had obviously given up control of the Castel territory, so she probably no longer participated in the appointment of stewards. In fact, these powers had been completely controlled by the territorial nobles.
In other words, if Quixote can become a steward, the infiltration of Castel's nobles may be more serious than Charlotte imagined.
"Master, the fragments of your holy book."
While pondering, Sebastian had respectfully placed the remaining pages of the holy book in his hands.
Charlotte nodded slightly and took it with satisfaction. At the same time, she was surprised to find that together with the fragments of the sacred book, there was a small and exquisite wooden box, which was also carved with an exquisite thorn and rose pattern.
That's right, it's the thorns and roses pattern that Charlotte drew casually when she was finalizing the Holy Emblem...
But she was very sure that the pattern on the wooden box had nothing to do with her. Considering the origin of the thorns and roses pattern, it should be an item from the Kingdom of Coria.
"This is something found on Quixote's body. He is holding it tightly in his arms. It may contain some key information."
Sebastian said respectfully.
Charlotte nodded slightly and opened the wooden box.
The next second, melodious music suddenly sounded from the wooden box, and a pair of lifelike mechanical dolls appeared in the wooden box, dancing to the music.
Charlotte and others were all stunned, this turned out to be a music box.
There was no information in the music box, only a gorgeous badge and a piece of yellowed parchment that was carefully folded.
Charlotte first picked up the badge and looked at it. It was a shield-shaped badge depicting a ferocious dragon.
"This should be Quixote's family crest. He should also be a noble in Coria."
Sebastian judged.
Charlotte nodded, put away the badge and picked up the parchment, and found that it was an unsent letter.
She opened it and browsed:
“To my beloved Sissi,
When I wrote this letter to you, I was already in a foreign country, in the dead of night, and it was also a time when I missed you very much. At this moment, you are the only figure in my heart.
I am lucky to know you. The longer I get along with you, the stronger my sense of attachment becomes. I am attached to the warmth of your embrace, to the passion of kissing you, to the romance of walking hand in hand with you, to the happiness of being together with you...
My love, I have successfully suppressed the backlash of the black dragon's power... When I come back, when I complete my agreement with Ness, I will eventually return to Coria and take back everything that belongs to us.
All glory belongs to Feket!
Love you Quixote."
After reading the letter, Charlotte put it away, feeling a little sad.
It seems that Quixote is also a vampire with a story, but unfortunately... he was eventually lost in the power of the black dragon, and he couldn't even tell who he was.
"Sebas, have you heard of Fecter?"
Charlotte asked, thinking about a word that seemed to be a surname mentioned in the letter.
"Feket? It seems to be the royal surname of the previous generation of the Kingdom of Corea, but it has been overthrown for many years."
Sebastian wrinkled and said.
After speaking, he asked curiously:
"Master, what is written on this?"
"It's not intelligence, it's Quixote's personal letters. Perhaps his exile is related to the political struggle in the Kingdom of Coria."
Charlotte shook her head and handed the letter to Sebastian.
Sebastian browsed through it and sighed:
"It seems that he was once a vampire who supported the previous generation of the Corea royal family. I am afraid he also fell in love with a certain noblewoman of the royal family. Sissi...could it be Princess Sissi of the previous dynasty of the Corea Kingdom?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly:
"Are the Fecters human?"
"Yes, at least most people do."
Sebastian said, handing the letter back.
"The love between vampires and humans..."
Charlotte put away the letter, thoughtfully.
She did not throw away Quixote's things, but kept them properly.
Then, Charlotte looked at the living corpses in the cave who were still kneeling towards her.
It was estimated that the vampire girl Agnes on the other side of the Book of the Dead had probably been drained dry, so this time Charlotte did not use the power of the Book of the Dead, but communicated with the divine power of blood and sighed softly:
"Your pain...is relieved."
As she spoke, she gently opened her arms, and a little bit of crimson light spread in the cave. The zombie miners trembled slightly, and the green flames in their eye sockets seemed to be more lively.
I saw them all bowing to Charlotte, and their bodies collapsed on their own, quickly turning into piles of withered bones.
As the breeze blew, Charlotte saw the miners' ghosts slowly rising into the sky and gradually dissipating.
God-abandoned people like zombie miners are not normal undead, and their souls have been desecrated spiritually. Even if they have faith, they cannot return to the kingdom of gods.
For them, returning to heaven and earth is the best destination...
The little werewolf Noah looked at the dissipated zombie miners with a sad expression on his face.
He pursed his lips and said with a lonely expression:
"I didn't expect that the steward of the mining workshop was the mastermind..."
"It turns out that the truth about the black dragon that my brother believed in is actually like this..."
Black dragon?
Charlotte and Sebastian looked at each other strangely.
Nice chuckled:
"Black dragon? Hey, little Noah, he is not the black dragon your brother has seen."
"Your brother probably didn't lie to you. There was indeed a giant dragon here, and it was indeed a black dragon."
"The power of the black dragon...hehe, think about it, where did his power of the black dragon come from?"
