"Oh? Not enough? Then can you tell me what conditions are required to obtain Castel's support?"
Earl Yurst frowned and asked.
Charlotte paused and said:
"Your Excellency Yurst, seriously speaking, the conditions you gave are enough for me to agree, but unfortunately... considering the fallen star blood descendant's criminal record in Castel, it is difficult for me to believe you."
"You are indeed very sincere in handing us all the information about the nobles you have cooperated with. But then again, without the intervention of the Ness clan, the relationship between our Castel family and the local nobles would never be as delicate as it is now...
"
"As for what you said about 'losing the trust of the northern nobles', in most cases there is no trust between nobles. There are only interests. As long as the interests are big enough, there will always be people who take risks. This is not enough.
Explain what."
"What you have given is not even enough for Castel to make up for his own losses, and what you have promised is illusory and lacks a foundation for trust between us."
Hearing this, Earl Yurst frowned and said with a smile:
"About this, Lord Castel, don't worry. Since we are here, we naturally come with sincerity. If you have any doubts, we can sign a contract."
Charlotte shook her head:
"You can't really gain trust by talking empty words. As for the contract... any contract may have loopholes. What I want to see more than promises is action."
"Oh? Mr. Castel, I wonder what kind of action you want to see?"
asked Earl Jurst.
Charlotte paused slightly and said:
"Your Excellency Yurst, thanks to your kindness, the current internal situation in the Castel Territory is not stable. To be honest, you may think that I, Castel, cannot be distracted for the time being. In the recent period, the Northland
There are always some nasty guys around who are doing some little things secretly."
"Although they are just some clowns, they are annoying after all. If you are really sincere, you might as well show me your power first."
Earl Yurst raised his eyebrows:
"You mean the lords near Castel? Do you want our Ness clan to take action to scare them?"
Charlotte smiled:
"Since you plan to overthrow the Fallen Star Kingship, you can't even frighten a few Crescent Lords, right? As far as I know, the forces you arranged for Crescent should not only be Castell's."
"If you give up the nobles around Castells on top of giving up the nobles of Castells, then I can truly believe that you are indeed showing goodwill to us."
Yurst looked surprised:
"You know a lot."
Charlotte smiled and said nothing.
Of course she knew a lot. After all, she had watched a remote meeting of the Ness clan. Most of the vampires who attended the meeting were engaged in underground operations in the Crescent Kingdom and its surrounding areas.
Not only Castel, but also many surrounding lords and nobles are actually their targets, but Castel seems to be the most important.
After thinking for a moment, Earl Yurst nodded decisively:
"No problem. Since you want to see sincerity, then we will show sincerity. I can guarantee that in the next period of time, the lords around you will not have the energy to harass Castel anymore."
Um……?
So simple?
Charlotte was a little surprised when she saw Earl Yurst agreeing immediately.
Seemingly noticing her expression, Count Jurst smiled and said:
"Don't be surprised. Compared to Castel, our efforts to win over the surrounding nobles are incidental."
"If I can get your support, even if I give up the support of other New Moon nobles, it will be worth it."
"but……"
As he spoke, Earl Yurst's expression gradually became serious, and his scarlet eyes looked deeply at Charlotte:
"I hope you can know that we are willing to extend an olive branch to you and use the Roman Principality as a bargaining chip, not only to show our goodwill to Castel, but also to the crown symbolized by the thorns and roses behind you."
Earl Jurst specially emphasized the word "Your Majesty".
Charlotte glanced at him in surprise, but she didn't expect that the Earl of Blood would suddenly jump to the subject of their suspicions about "Thorn Rose".
No, it can no longer be called doubt.
There are various signs that the Ness clan now truly believes that there is a god behind Castel who uses the thorn rose as his holy symbol.
Looking at Charlotte's surprised expression, Earl Yurst smiled and said:
"Your Excellency, don't be surprised. Our Ness clan knows more information than you think."
"But don't worry, we don't mean to interfere or threaten. Rather, we prefer to live in harmony."
"The Roman Principality not only represents a large territory, but also represents millions of potential believers. I think it is very important for any great being who has revived. For us, Ness, using a person who is destined to give up in the future
The principality in exchange for the friendship of a great being is a pretty good deal."
"At the same time, deceiving a god who has been awakened in Miria for hundreds of years...that kind of price is not what our Ness clan is willing to bear."
"Although the Holy Royal Court is powerful, its core power is far away in East Yunet, and Castel... is our close neighbor!"
"Your Excellency Castel, if I say this, you should believe our sincerity, right?"
"Not only that, we can also promise that if we can successfully capture the Falling Star Kingdom, our Ness clan is willing to provide some methods and resources that can help the gods restore their divine power as soon as possible!"
Good guy?
Methods and resources to restore divine power?
Charlotte's eyelids twitched wildly and she almost couldn't hold her breath.
Well, this is indeed sincere enough.
Rather, the Blood Clan is indeed a force that has existed for thousands of years. It even has the methods and resources to help the gods restore their power...
The other party's words almost directly stated that they knew that there was a "resurrected god" behind Castel.
Although Charlotte had already known that they knew a lot about her family through the Ness clan's remote meeting, but at this moment when the other party said it directly, the meaning was completely different.
By this time, Charlotte also realized another problem.
It turns out that the Ness clan wants to gain not only the support of Castel, but also the "god behind" Castel!
No, or it is not support, it may be a release of goodwill, or it may be an investment.
Of course, only she herself knows what the so-called "god" is.
But what makes Charlotte a little confused is how the Ness clan knew that she, the "god behind the scenes", needed ways and resources to restore her divine power?
And... what the hell is it after being awakened for hundreds of years?
Looking at the Blood Earl in front of her who made an expression like "our Ness clan actually knows everything, you don't have to continue pretending to be a believer of the Holy Royal Court", Charlotte felt that the other party had misunderstood something.
What.
However, no matter what, a principality that is complementary to the North, and a method that can help her regain her divine power... really, Charlotte is completely moved now.
But she knew she had to hold on.
The other party must have misunderstood something and thought that she had a secret god who was already quite powerful. But only she knew that she was an impostor who used the Sixty Seconds plug-in.
Even the plug-ins are at the legendary level. They have the status of a myth, but they do not have the power of a myth. At most, they can only bully the blood descendants who can suppress blood.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte said:
"Your Excellency, your intelligence system is indeed beyond my expectation, but... the thoughts of the gods cannot be understood by mortals. I am only the lord of Castel, and I cannot promise you anything."
"But...I have seen your sincerity, and the only thing left is to practice it."
Earl Yurst nodded and said with a smile:
"That's enough. You will see our sincerity soon. I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future..."
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass filled with mead.
"I hope so."
Charlotte also smiled slightly and also raised the goblet filled with milk drinks.
The two looked at each other and drank all the wine and drinks in their glasses.
"Oh, right."
Charlotte put down the cup and suddenly said:
"Now that we've come clean, there's one more thing I think I should convey."
Earl Yurst's expression changed slightly:
"Hmm? Please tell me."
Charlotte paused and said:
"Since you have investigated my background, you should know that I have nothing to do with the Blood Demon Order..."
"The Blood Demon Order? You can rest assured on this point. Although we are both blood descendants, we actually don't have to deal with them. Rather, I have always hated those guys who have no bottom line in doing things."
Earl Yurst said subconsciously.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow:
"Oh? But do you know that when you infiltrated our Castel Silver Mine, there was the shadow of the Blood Demon Order behind you?"
"Shadow of the Blood Demon Order?"
Yurst was slightly startled.
As if thinking of something, his expression gradually became serious and he asked:
"Are you...sure?"
"It seems that you don't know? I thought you had already reached in-depth cooperation with the Blood Demon Order! It's just... the relationship between you two doesn't seem to be as good as we imagined. At least in the past few days, our people
But we found traces of the battle between you and the Blood Demon Order in the north of Castells."
Charlotte pretended to be surprised.
Yurst's expression became more serious.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression gradually became a little confused. After a moment, he saluted Charlotte and said:
"Your Excellency Castel, thank you for your information. We will let you see Ness's sincerity as soon as possible. We also look forward to the day when we can reach cooperation with Castel and your majesty behind you!"
"I will report the contents of today's negotiations to the Duke as soon as possible, and please wait for my good news..."
After saying that, Earl Jurst left in a hurry.
Looking at the other party's solemn look, Charlotte's heart moved:
It seems... there seems to be some discord between the Blood Demon Order and the Ness clan that she doesn't know about?
