Charlotte discovered two more characteristics of the vampires.
First, if you become addicted to blood and never drink blood, you will eventually lose your mind, go on a rampage, and do some unpredictable things.
Second, if you suck blood and get injured at the same time during a rampage, even if the blood sucked is the blood of an animal, as long as the injury is not fatal, it seems that you can recover quickly...
As for the price...
It consumes the fullness and satisfaction brought by sucking blood and becomes hungry again.
At the same time, when the rampage is over, she will become extremely weak.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
However, Charlotte was not interested in admiring the moonlight.
Looking at the bloody scenes and trembling attendants around her, she felt only shock...
What...what did you just do?
In fact, Charlotte's previous memories were very clear.
It was a really scary experience.
On the one hand, her consciousness is very chaotic; on the other hand, she seems to be very awake.
She clearly remembered that the moment the old servant opened the carriage door, the tense string in her mind finally broke completely.
She clearly remembered how she got violent and killed the other party brutally...
She clearly remembered dragging the packhorse into the woods to suck the blood and enjoy the sweetness that was like rain...
She also clearly remembered how she tore off the crossbow bolt from her body, and how she took out the heart of the escaping attendant...
The moist heat that penetrated her flesh, the sliminess of her heart, the peristalsis of her blood vessels... she remembered all the sensations clearly.
Cruel, violent, bloody...
If it were now, even if she decided to kill the two of them, she would never use such bloody methods.
But when that memory happened, she seemed to be controlled by some kind of killing instinct, almost like a wild beast, brutally destroying everything that threatened her.
Not only that, she felt very happy and satisfied at the time.
It wasn't until the attendant begged for mercy in tears that she finally came to her senses, trembled, and threw the heart out of her hand...
This is Charlotte's first murder.
No nausea, no nausea, and no fear.
She didn't know if becoming a vampire had affected her thinking to some extent, making her heart become colder and harder.
The violent version of herself just now felt very strange to her.
Charlotte knew that she was definitely "going berserk" at that time.
The only thing that made her feel somewhat fortunate was that she managed to maintain some sanity during the rampage and did not suck the blood of the corpse...
Even if their blood smells much better than fishy livestock.
It can be regarded as some kind of bottom line for Charlotte.
She always felt that if she really sucked the blood of a corpse, she would completely lose her humanity, and from then on she would go further and further down the road of sinking, becoming a real "weird demon"...
It was obvious that she still knew too little about the power of the vampires.
Charlotte closed her eyes gently, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
After a long time, it reopened.
At this moment, she made a decision.
You must completely control the power of the "blood clan" and never let this kind of out-of-control "rage" happen again!
She was very powerful just now, very powerful, she had definitely reached the level of an extraordinary being.
But power that cannot be controlled is meaningless.
This time, she was facing an enemy.
But next time, what if it’s her companion?
Or what if it's an enemy she can't defeat?
The sobbing sound was extremely harsh in the deep night, interrupting the girl's thoughts.
Charlotte shifted her gaze and looked at the last servant who was completely frightened.
She just didn't continue to kill this person.
Not because she came to her senses, but because her rampage was over.
She felt like an amateur runner who had just finished running a marathon. Her whole body was sore, exhausted, weak, and she seemed ready to faint at any time.
To be honest, Charlotte even feels a little guilty now.
Because if she really wanted to take action, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat him now.
Fortunately, this attendant was frightened out of his wits.
And he couldn't see Charlotte's weakness at all.
This is just right.
Charlotte still has some questions that she needs to ask the other party.
She was still acting violently, with a devilish smile on her lips, and her indifferent voice was emotionless:
"Tell me, who are you?"
If it weren't for the crimson eyes that had returned to the blue of the sky, Charlotte would really be pretending to be the killing machine just now.
Of course, the frightened attendant could no longer notice these details.
"Mercenary... I am a mercenary... We are Boulder's free mercenaries!"
He said while crying bitterly.
Free mercenaries...
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
After meeting the Duke's son Lenore that day, she specifically asked Priest Lottie about mercenaries and learned that in this world, free mercenaries are equivalent to adventurers and bounty hunters in fantasy novels in previous lives.
The difference is that the vast majority of free mercenaries are ordinary people who are forced to make a living, rather than extraordinary people.
Of course, to be called ordinary people is also to say that they are ordinary in terms of strength compared with extraordinary strength. The vast majority of mercenaries are actually desperadoes who tie their heads to their belts.
As long as the reward is attractive enough, they are willing to do anything.
"Who sent you here? What is your mission?"
Charlotte asked again.
"I...I don't know who our employer is..."
"We just accepted the mission on the mission board of the Rose Society. Let us kidnap the eldest lady of the Castel family and hand it over to the people who come to take care of it..."
The attendant said tremblingly.
"Rose party?"
Charlotte raised her voice slightly.
"The Rose Club is the largest underground gang in Boulder. It often connects mercenaries and employers and takes a commission from it..."
Underground gang...
Charlotte remembered the name Rose Society.
Charlotte looked at the dead "old servant" hunting ax on the ground again:
"Who gave him easy access?"
"Yes... he is our employer..."
"Huh? Didn't you just say...you don't know who your employer is?"
Charlotte's voice suddenly became cold.
The squire is about to collapse:
"I...we really don't know..."
"He covered his face and deliberately changed his voice... We only know that he is a mage..."
"Oh, by the way! He helped us prepare the carriage, and he also helped us prepare the crossbow and clothing!"
After listening to the other party's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
Whether they are able to disguise the mercenaries as old servants of the Castel family, or forge the uniforms of the Castel family, or know the itinerary of the Castel family to bring their master home, it shows that the other party has an interest in Castel family.
The Tell family knows it very well.
Not only that, but the other party can also obtain contraband items such as crossbows, which means that the other party either has a military background in the kingdom or has contacts with people in the military.
Only the direct vassal nobles of the Crescent Kingdom and their close associates can set foot in the kingdom's military.
In other words... he is a direct vassal of the Crescent Kingdom like the Duke of Boulder.
But the problem comes again.
Since there are so many free mercenaries to kidnap themselves, why would the employer find such a group of unprofessional people?
Moreover, what is the point of kidnapping yourself?
At this moment, Charlotte smelled a conspiracy.
"Where is your pickup point?"
"Outside the city...outside the city...our first stop is here. We need to change into the new carriage that has been hidden in this courtyard in advance, and then leave Boulder City through the west city gate..."
The attendant said tremblingly.
The pick-up point is not here!
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.
Her current actual condition is not good. If the other party's pick-up location is this courtyard, then she will have to consider running away immediately.
"Tell me the specific location where you will be picked up, and then get out."
Charlotte said indifferently.
The attendant was overjoyed.
Without hesitation, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms and presented it with both hands:
"Sir...sir...it's the place marked on the map."
Charlotte took the map and started browsing it.
"Sir...can I go?"
the attendant asked cautiously.
Charlotte glanced at him:
"get out!"
The servant seems to have received a general amnesty.
"Thank you... thank you, sir! Antonio will never talk nonsense about what happened tonight! Antonio swears to the Lord!"
After that, he stood up tremblingly and stumbled out of the courtyard. His posture was very embarrassing, and his legs were obviously still very weak.
However, just when he was about to leave the courtyard gate, he suddenly stopped, looked hesitant, gritted his teeth and turned in another direction.
There... there are the Holy King's Church and the Demon Hunting Center that are the closest to here!
The attendant took a step forward and was about to run out of the courtyard, but the next moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
He slowly lowered his head and saw half of a crossbow arrow leaking from his chest.
His eyes widened, he opened his mouth slightly, and then slowly collapsed.
Behind him, the expressionless Charlotte slowly put down the crossbow in his hand.
She had no intention of letting him go.
From the moment the other party participated in the kidnapping and recognized her vampire identity, she had already sentenced the other party to death.
Let the opponent run first, but she is in a weak state and has no confidence to defeat the opponent.
Although she looks cute, she is not a virgin!
The last kidnapper who knew her secret died, and Charlotte also put away her crossbow.
This crossbow is really good, it is pocket-sized, but it is very powerful, and it does not require too much effort when using it.
She was already planning to take it back and use it as a self-defense weapon in the future.
Hmm...just enough to hide under your skirt!
Charlotte soon had an idea.
However, just when Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, a hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded behind her:
"Would a great being like you use mortal weapons that even secular knights look down upon to deal with mortals like ants?"
who?!
Charlotte was shocked.
She turned around and saw a plump black cat slowly walking out of the shadows under the moonlight.
A... talking black cat?!
Charlotte's heart suddenly lifted.
As a vampire, she couldn't sense the existence of this black cat just now!
There was a human solemnity on the black cat's face.
In Charlotte's vigilant eyes, he saw it gracefully saluted with its front paws like a human noble, and then said hoarsely:
"Meow... first meeting..."
"My name is Ness. I am an elegant cat noble and a devout believer in the God of Contract."
As it spoke, it raised its head, with a meaningful look on its plump cat face:
"Tell me, should I call you Miss Charlotte, or Your Majesty from the Blood Clan?"
