Charlotte looked at the mayor of Beigang who locked the door quietly in front of her, looking a little surprised.
No, Charlotte didn't even know whether the person in front of her should be called Madoc.
Although Maddock still had the fat, round face, the other person's expression at this moment was completely different from the alderman Charlotte knew.
The usual flattery and smoothness were gone, replaced by solemnity and seriousness.
"Yes, Lord Earl, it's me."
Madoc said calmly while taking out one magic scroll after another from his arms.
A dense magical radiance bloomed on Madoc's body, and strange red lines appeared on his face. At the same time, Charlotte was surprised to find that Madoc's aura began to surge!
He is no longer the ordinary person who is not even a transcendent, but he possesses powerful magic power in an instant and becomes an initiate!
Madoc...became a Star Mage!
I saw him holding up those scrolls, tearing them apart one after another, and rays of light bloomed and spread in the study, building one magic barrier after another to isolate the inside and outside.
After doing all this, Maddock came directly to Charlotte, bowed and said:
"My Lord Earl, now...there are finally no pesky flies around you."
Charlotte frowned.
She thought that the betrayer was Len Castel, and she also thought that the betrayer was Romain Foer, but the only thing she never thought about was that he was the mayor of her own territory!
This is really dark under the light!
After arriving in Castres, Charlotte was warmly welcomed by the demesne. She subconsciously thought that the officials in her demesne were still loyal to her, and the only ones with problems were the feudal nobles.
But now, she suddenly realized that she might have been wrong from the beginning.
Yes, since the vampires have penetrated into every aspect of Castel, then...how is it impossible to infiltrate the direct territory?!
However, what surprised Charlotte was that the other party clearly had no qualifications as a mage, but at this moment he became a Star Mage. How did he do this?
Are those weird lines on his face?
What exactly is that?
Charlotte was curious.
However, her doubts were soon answered.
"Eh? Forbidden magic pattern? It's been so many years, can anyone still use this thing?"
Black Cat Ness' voice sounded somewhat surprised and even excited.
Forbidden magic pattern?
Charlotte's heart moved.
At the same time, her magical counterattack that had not been activated for a long time suddenly started to work again, and the familiar scarlet text slowly appeared in her field of vision——
[Effect of the spell: A blasphemy spell created by the legendary mage Nicholas. The caster can give the subject a blessing similar to that of a god. The subject will sacrifice his life potential and soul power, and gain huge magic power and transcendence.
potential.]

【Whether to intercept?】
The blasphemous magic of the legendary mage Nicholas?
Humphrey Lachlan?
Wait, is this the Blood Earl who infiltrated the Ness clan in Castel?
Looking at the information that appeared in front of her eyes, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She squinted her eyes and looked at Madoc:
"Did you join the Ness clan?"
Madoc was a little surprised:
"You actually know about the Ness clan?"
Charlotte took a sip of black tea:
"Infiltrate the nobles, control the mining workshops, and try to control me, Castel... There is such a big commotion, and I am not blind."
"Honestly, I really don't know what the hell these Ness clan is doing in Castel if they don't stay well in Falling Star Kingdom."
With that said, Charlotte looked at Madoc again and said calmly:
"Madoc, I, Castel, treat you well, why would I betray you?"
Madoc sighed slightly and said:
"I'm sorry, my lord."
"No matter how hard I try, without extraordinary potential, the most I can do is obtain a non-hereditary baronetcy in my territory..."
"I am indeed grateful for everything the Castel family has given me, but my contribution to the territory is far more than what I received."
"I am obviously the mayor of Beigang, but just because I am not a hereditary noble, any hereditary baron or even knight looks down on me..."
"Hereditary nobility can only belong to extraordinary people. Since Castel can't give me what I want, then... I have no choice but to turn to others for help."
"Anyway... Castel has no future. In the face of more powerful forces, even if you are the saint of the Holy Royal Court, you cannot prevent Castel from changing hands!"
After saying that, Madoc looked at Charlotte and said with a sincere expression:
"Lord Charlotte, although I haven't worked with you for too long, but... I can see that you really want to become an excellent lord."
"But it's a pity... your power is too weak. Without Sir Sebastian, you can't compete with the power of the vampires."
"You can't even imagine... the extent to which we control Castel!"
"For the sake of past friendship, I sincerely suggest that you submit to the Ness clan."
"As long as you are willing to offer your loyalty to the Ness clan, all the nobles in the territory will be loyal to you, and you will become the true master of Castel."
Was he lured over by the Ness clan using their extraordinary power and title...
Charlotte was thoughtful.
"Pfft... Extraordinary person? So you think you are an extraordinary person now?"
"Indeed, the forbidden magic pattern can give people powerful power, but that power is borrowed, and the corresponding price is even more terrifying. To put it bluntly, this is just a derivative of a failed experiment."
"Or do you think you can control Lady Charlotte with this false power?"
The black cat Nice shook his head and said.
Madoc glanced at Nice and smiled:
"Lord Nice is right. Of course I know that my power is borrowed."
"But... I don't have many years left to live. It's enough to carve out a bright future for the next generation."
"What's more, after the mission is completed, I will naturally gain the first support of the noble Ness clan. At that time... I will be a more powerful and noble vampire than ordinary extraordinary beings. Not only do I have abilities that surpass ordinary extraordinary beings,
Strength, and the ability to have eternal life!"
"Compared with the eternal life in the future, the life span and soul power now are nothing!"
Madoc looked enthusiastic and full of yearning.
As he spoke, he looked at Charlotte again and persuaded:
"My Lord Earl, this may be the last time I call you Lord Earl. Please accept the recruitment of the Ness clan."
"I know that you must have made various arrangements in the Earl's Mansion, but unfortunately... no matter how prepared you are, you are just a professional of the first level of Fanxing. Even with the assistance of Mr. Sebastian, at most you can only
It can only compete with Silver Moon."
"I can tell you clearly that the person behind me is the Earl of Blood, the real third level Blazing Sun! And... there is more than one!"
"You can't compete with us. As long as you are willing to accept the recruitment, I think... the masters of the Ness clan will be happy to accept you, give you the power of the blood clan, and let you become a member of the great Ness clan!"
After listening to Maddock's words, Nice gave Charlotte a strange look.
A bastard of the Blood Clan who is not even the lowest-level Blood Servant, stands in front of the great True Ancestor of Blood and persuades him to accept the recruitment and become the blood descendant of the Blood Clan for who knows how many generations...
This scene, I have to say, is really hilarious.
Charlotte smiled.
She touched her chin as if thinking:
"Eternal life? It does sound like a good suggestion..."
Madoc laughed too.
However, before he could continue to say anything, Charlotte changed the subject:
"But, what if I refuse?"
Madoc's smile gradually faded:
"It seems that you didn't listen to what I said."
As he spoke, he sighed:
"In this case, we have to use strong methods to make you obey..."
After saying that, he drew a complicated snake-shaped symbol on his chest and said loudly:
"Oath: The spirit of blood descends!"
Dark red light bloomed on Madoc's body, and at the same time, familiar scarlet words appeared in Charlotte's field of vision again——
[Effect of the spell: A blasphemy spell created by the legendary mage Nicholas. The caster establishes contact with the summoned object signed by the oath through prayer and oath. The object of the oath will project his will in a manner similar to that of a god descending and project it in front of the caster.

Projection of will?
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She did not stop Maddock's actions, but allowed him to do it. The next moment, a powerful aura rose from behind Maddock.
The blood-colored light slowly gathered, and in Charlotte's surprised and curious eyes, it condensed into an illusory figure behind Madoc.
The illusive figure wore half a mask, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. It only revealed a bunch of scarlet eyes and a majestic silver robe. The robe was painted with stars and a long snake, which were the symbols of the Ness clan.
And with the appearance of the other party, a faint blood color suddenly filled the study room, and along with it, there was a powerful and heart-stopping pressure...
It is the spiritual realm.
This is a strong man of the third level of Blazing Sun!
The illusory figure glanced at Madoc lightly, and a rumbling voice slowly sounded:
"Madoc, you called too slowly."
"I'm sorry... Lord Earl, I originally wanted to try again to see if I could gain Castel's support... but now I see that I may have failed."
Madoc bowed respectfully towards the illusory figure and replied.
"It's up to you! If you do it next time, you'll never get that holy first embrace."
The illusory figure gave Madoc a cold look.
After hearing his words, Madoc looked nervous and frightened:
"No! Not anymore!"
However, the illusory figure no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Charlotte.
"Charlotte de Castres?"
The scarlet illusory pupils stared at the girl behind the desk with a vague sense of inexplicability.
"Humphrey Lachlan?"
Charlotte also looked at the other party, with a bit of curiosity in her expression.
Being called by his name directly, Xuan Huan was obviously a little surprised:
"You actually know me?"
"Hmph! People from the Luoman family...are indeed untrustworthy!"
Roman family?
Charlotte's eyes flashed slightly.
The illusory figure's eyes fell on Charlotte's stunningly beautiful face again.
A trace of surprise and emotion flashed through the scarlet pupils, and the rumbling voice sounded again:
"It looks like...it really looks like..."
"Human inheritance is really wonderful. Seeing this face that is almost exactly the same as Her Royal Highness Anne's makes me miss you so much..."
After hearing the illusory figure's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:
"You know my mother?"
Anne is the name of the mother of the body that Charlotte traveled through, and Charlotte knew that her mother was a noble from the Fallen Star Kingdom.
However, no one in Castel ever mentioned the identity of his mother, as if it was a piece of history that was deliberately buried.
As far as Charlotte knows, this is related to the Star-Moon War that lasted for eighty years.
But at this moment, Charlotte's eyelids jumped wildly when she heard the title of the Blood Earl in front of her.
Anne...Your Highness?
Charlotte was very curious as to what identity her mother had before she could be called "Your Highness".
However, the illusory figure obviously had no interest in chatting with Charlotte.
He looked at Charlotte condescendingly, his voice gradually became excited and trembled, and in the trembling, there seemed to be a bit of gritted teeth:
"I miss you so much that I want to destroy it, I miss you so much that I want to tear it into pieces, I miss you so much that I can't wait to see you crawling at our feet, kneeling down and begging for mercy!"
His eyes became more and more wild, and his voice became more and more angry:
"Yourst said that we must be polite before fighting, and try our best to win over you, saying that you Casters are not Romans after all..."
"This matter... I have been strongly opposed to it from the beginning."
"Now it seems that what I opposed is indeed good!"
"After all, seeing such a face, I'm afraid no Ness can hold back the anger in his heart!"
As he spoke, the illusory figure became more solid, and more astonishing coercion bloomed from his body, and along with the coercion, there was a spiritual impact like a tsunami:
"The remnants of the Roman family! Bear the wrath of the Ness clan and become the eternal slaves of our blood descendants!"
A terrifying aura erupted, and the vast will of the third level of Blazing Sun transformed into a dark red storm of consciousness, impacting towards Charlotte's soul!
Seeing this scene, Black Cat Ness couldn't help but cover his eyes, and sighed in his heart:
Hey...why do some people who overestimate their capabilities always want to invade this old monster's spiritual world?
