Chapter 180 30 Take Him Down!
Chapter 180 -30- Take him down!
"Count Castel? She is Count Castel?!"
"Has the Count already arrived in Castells?"
"The emblem of the Northland Falcon is indeed the emblem of the Castel family, and it also has the iconic blond hair and blue eyes of the Castel family..."
"The same goes for the appearance. I heard that the Castel family has some elven blood and is also known as a family favored by the God of Beauty. The rumors are indeed true..."
"No wonder...no wonder there are elf butlers."
"But, isn't the earl already sixteen years old? She looks...as if she is only twelve or thirteen years old."
"Is it...also because of the elf blood?"
Charlotte's self-revealing speech instantly detonated the entire mine, and everyone fell into a commotion.
In the lowland plains of the north, Castel is the sky, and Castel is the uncrowned king.
As Charlotte revealed her identity, everyone's eyes were focused on her for a while, and comments arose one after another.
The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real.
The powerful elf butler, the authentic Castel badge, coupled with the iconic appearance, gorgeous aristocratic costumes and mysterious and noble temperament, for a while... many people at the scene believed him.
Little werewolf Noah was completely stunned.
His eyes widened and his mouth opened so wide that he could fit a goose egg in.
He had imagined any identity that Lesa might hide, but he never thought that she would be the legendary Earl of Castells!
The richest countess in the Crescent Kingdom, the master of the northern lowlands, a saint who walks in the world, the daughter of the God Lord Harald...
The ancestors are on top!
He actually met the legendary Count Castells, and even talked and laughed with him!
He, he, he...could he be dreaming? !
The little werewolf was in a daze, feeling ridiculous and helpless as he had been chatting and joking with someone for a long time, and then suddenly found out that the other person was the leader of the country when he came back to his senses.
Of course... there is also a sense of surprise.
He met the Count of Castres!
He, he, he... He has taken risks with the other party before!
Noah knew that if all this was true, then today's experience would be enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.
It wasn't just little Noah who was in shock, the old werewolf Logan in the crowd was also stunned.
This old miner who personally brought Charlotte and others into the mine never expected that such a person would be brought into the mine!
However, the biggest impact was on the guards who surrounded Charlotte and others.
After hearing Charlotte's words, they were also shocked, and then quickly fell into a commotion.
I don’t know which guard put away his sword first. In short...when the first guard started to take action, there was a second one and a third one soon...
Even the two initiate officers who led the team showed hesitation. After looking at each other, they slowly lowered their weapons.
Seeing this scene, the senior steward's expression completely changed.
He looked at Charlotte uncertainly, looking a little flustered.
However, his expression soon regained its determination.
I saw him gritting his teeth and scolding sternly:
"Audacious! Pretending to be the Earl!"
"The Earl is clearly in Beigang, how could he appear in Caiyin City?"
"The badge on her body must have been snatched from Master Cord! She is fake!"
"Guard! Don't be fooled by her!"
After hearing the words of the senior steward, the surprised guards fell into hesitation again.
However... no one immediately picked up the weapon again.
Such was Castre's reputation.
These guards do need to obey orders, but first of all... they are guards in the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Castel. Their allegiance is not to the managers of the mining workshops, but to the Castel family.
Seeing this scene, the senior deacon was going to be furious.
He gritted his teeth and shouted to the two officers:
"Raymond, Frey! Don't forget your responsibilities!"
The two officers looked hesitant.
"Raymond! Frey!"
The senior deacon repeated angrily.
The two officers looked at each other again, gritted their teeth, and ordered to the surrounding guards:
"Guards, pick up your weapons and surround them!"
But after saying that, they owed themselves to Charlotte and others and said:
"Sir... I am afraid that you cannot prove your identity just by relying on Castel's family crest. Please forgive us for not being able to lift the defense."
"If you are really that adult, we will receive the punishment after your identity is officially confirmed!"
Sebastian glanced at the two officers in surprise and smiled at Charlotte:
"Master, it seems... you still have some good soldiers."
Charlotte smiled and said:
"The Castel Silver Mine is the family's money bag. Being assigned here means that you are naturally the best among the best."
As she spoke, she played with the Castel badge in her hand again and said to herself:
"But...it seems that it will be necessary to make a special token that belongs to me in the future. There are still too many falcon badges in the family."
"Hey, I'm afraid there's no count before you who wouldn't even bring a noble attendant for a private visit."
Nice on the other side smiled.
There was no cover-up in this series of conversations, and they were spoken openly and honestly.
Although still on alert, after listening to Charlotte and the others' conversation, the guards were obviously more certain of their identities, and the swords in their hands moved down involuntarily.
Even the two officers subconsciously stood straighter.
Seeing this scene, the senior deacon's expression became even gloomier.
His eyes flickered, and suddenly whispered to the steward Mael beside him:
"Go and invite Lord Remigio..."
Then, he raised his head and continued to shout at Charlotte who was surrounded by layers:
"You... Don't move! Before we figure out your true identity, you are not allowed to move! Otherwise... we will fire crossbows!"
Sebastian's eyes swept across the heavy crossbows, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He turned around and smiled at Charlotte:
"Master, he seems to be going to ask for help again, and he threatened to shoot us!"
"Let him go."
Charlotte didn't care at all, but smiled lightly:
"It's just right, we can completely solve the problem of the mithril mine."
After that, she gave Sebastian a look, and Sebastian immediately understood, snapped his fingers and summoned a noble chair from the storage space, and placed it behind Charlotte respectfully and elegantly.
After Charlotte sat down naturally, he respectfully summoned milk and a goblet.
Fortunately, Charlotte said "No need for this" before he acted, so he didn't play the scene of drinking milk with a goblet on the spot.
Privately, it doesn't matter when there are few people.
Now there are so many people around, Charlotte doesn't want to perform this in public, always feels weird.
Sebastian immediately understood, replaced the milk with black tea, and the goblet with a Far Eastern carved porcelain cup.
This time, Charlotte took it naturally and sipped it.
While drinking tea, she did not forget to chat with the guards who surrounded her:
"Which one of you is Raymond? Which one is Frey? Which family are you from?"
The two officers were obviously flattered and answered respectfully:
"I am Raymond."
"I am Frey."
"Sir, we are not nobles, but commoners."
The nervous and respectful posture, rather than the surrounding party, is more like the guarding party, which is quite strange.
The senior deacon's face became even uglier.
Charlotte was a little surprised and smiled:
"A commoner who entered the rank? Not bad!"
"After this incident is over, transfer back to the Earl's Mansion to be my personal guard."
After hearing Charlotte's words, the two officers were obviously excited.
Being an officer in the mine may make a lot of money, but if you can follow the noble lord as a personal guard knight, you have the opportunity to become a real noble!
They almost subconsciously wanted to salute, but after noticing the senior deacon's expression, they quickly realized that something was wrong, and quickly suppressed their excitement and put on a serious face again.
At this moment, there was another commotion from the crowd watching in the distance, and the orderly footsteps of the army could be heard faintly.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she handed the porcelain cup to Sebastian, and then looked in the direction of the sound.
The crowd made way to both sides, and a team of well-equipped soldiers entered one after another.
All of them were extraordinary people, all of them were enchanted plate armor made of fine steel.
This... is a team of regular troops of the kingdom!
It is the kingdom army stationed at the Castel Silver Mine.
The soldiers of the kingdom arrived at the scene and stood on both sides.
Then, a tall knight in full armor came to the scene surrounded by a group of knights.
He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, tall and mighty, with a hooked nose, and a face that looked quite fierce.
Seeing the middle-aged knight, the crowd watching the scene was obviously agitated again:
"It's Viscount Remigio! The captain of the third detachment of the first legion!"
"Is it the captain guarding the Castel Silver Mine?"
"I heard that he has a good personal relationship with Manager Code, and he is also a second-level knight of Silver Moon, only one step away from Blazing Sun..."
"Hiss... Isn't the Earl in trouble?"
"Keep your voice down, it may not be the Earl..."
The miners watching the scene talked a lot, and many of them showed fearful expressions after seeing the middle-aged knight. This ferocious captain of the Kingdom Legion seemed to be very awe-inspiring in the mine.
"What happened?"
The middle-aged knight looked at the crowd and asked.
Seeing the middle-aged knight, the senior steward of the mine was obviously relieved.
He quickly came to the other party, bowed flatteringly, and then said angrily:
"Lord Remigio...someone pretended to be our Lord Earl and brutally killed Lord Code!"
He said with tears in his eyes:
"You are Lord Code's friend and a partner of the workshop. Please make a decision for Lord Code!"
"Oh? Pretending to be Count Castel? And killing Code? Who is so bold?"
The middle-aged knight's expression suddenly became dangerous.
"It's them!"
The senior steward pointed at Charlotte and others who were surrounded by guards.
The middle-aged knight's eyes immediately fell on Charlotte and others.
Feeling the aura on him that was not weaker than his own, and the well-equipped kingdom soldiers who were able to compete with Silver Moon, Sebastian's expression suddenly became serious.
He took a step and stood in front of Charlotte.
"Elf?"
Looking at Sebastian, the middle-aged knight looked a little surprised.
But soon, he still set his eyes on Charlotte and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the same time, the kingdom soldiers raised their weapons and prepared to attack.
For a moment, the originally "happy" scene suddenly became tense.
"Lord Remigio, it's her! She also slandered Lord Code for colluding with outsiders!"
"Lord Remigio, you know, Lord Code has always been conscientious and is a great contributor to our Castel family!"
"This impostor not only killed him, but also bewitched our Castel soldiers. You are a knight of the kingdom, please make the decision for our Castel family!"
The senior steward of the mining workshop cried.
As soon as this was said, the crowd of onlookers was a little agitated again.
The steward of the workshop actually planned to ask the kingdom army to take action and directly suppress the girl who was suspected to be Count Castel!
"This... the manager wants the kingdom's military to take action?"
"Isn't this bad? Isn't this an opportunity for the military to interfere in the affairs of the earldom?"
"What is the manager thinking?"
"This is really troublesome... I heard that Viscount Remigio acts without scruples and does things based on his likes and dislikes. The earl... unless she can immediately prove that she is really the earl, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be dangerous..."
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot.
Among the miners, the old werewolf Logan's expression changed slightly.
His eyes fell on Noah and Luf, and then he looked carefully at Charlotte, who was still sitting elegantly and calmly, and his eyes flickered slightly.
After a slight hesitation, the old werewolf Logan gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted:
"I... I can testify! She is the earl!"
"The earl came here incognito to investigate the truth about the depletion of the mithril mine! So he didn't bring other nobles!"
After hearing what the old werewolf Logan said, the onlookers were stunned.
Then, they subconsciously took a step away from him.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the old werewolf, even Viscount Remigio showed an interested expression.
"Logan! You traitor! What are you talking about?!"
The senior steward's expression changed slightly, and he cursed angrily.
"Guards! What are you still standing there for? Take this werewolf who colluded with outsiders away!"
He ordered the guards again.
However, when the senior steward turned around, he was slightly stunned.
I saw that Castel's guards not only did not take action, but stood in front of Charlotte, looking at the kingdom's regular army with a vigilant look.
"Raymond! Frey! What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
The senior steward said angrily.
The two guard officers looked at Viscount Remigio and said coldly:
"Sir, are you crazy?"
"No matter whether this person is the Earl or not, Castel's affairs... cannot be interfered by other kingdom nobles!"
Seeing this scene, the old werewolf Logan was refreshed and became bolder:
"My people! That is Earl Castel! The Earl came here to rectify the mines!"
"Follow me! Protect the Earl with the guards! Don't let these kingdom troops hurt the Earl!"
As he said, he took the lead, rushed out of the crowd, and stood on the side of Charlotte and the guards.
With his lead, some clever miners immediately took action, picked up mining tools and ran to the mine.
In a blink of an eye, the mine was clearly divided into two factions, which was very dramatic.
The senior steward of the workshop stared blankly at the Castel guards and miners who quickly turned against the Kingdom’s army as it arrived, and trembled as he said:
"Rebellion... all of them are rebelling!"
"Rebellion! This is rebellion!"
"My Lord Viscount! These people have been completely bewitched! Please help my Castel family suppress these traitors!"
After hearing the words of the senior steward, Sebastian's expression slightly condensed.
"Master, this Viscount... I'm afraid he is also on that side."
He looked at the middle-aged knight warily and whispered.
However, when Sebastian looked at Charlotte, he found that Charlotte's expression was still calm.
Not only was she calm, but she seemed to be smiling when she looked at the middle-aged knight.
Sebastian was slightly stunned.
And then, he saw Charlotte stand up from her seat and walk forward.
The guards and miners standing in front of Charlotte hesitated for a moment, and then stepped aside at Charlotte's signal. After coming to the front of the crowd, Charlotte looked at the expressionless middle-aged knight calmly, and suddenly smiled slightly:
"Sir, Viscount Remigio, I haven't seen you for many years, and you still look so majestic."
"After so many years, I wonder if Mrs. Camille's health has recovered well?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, the middle-aged knight squinted again.
Then, his expression suddenly turned cold:
"Come here, take down this criminal who offended the nobles of the kingdom!"
After hearing Viscount Remigio's order, the senior steward of the workshop breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he was shocked to find that the soldiers of the kingdom army had put their swords on his neck.
"Le... Lord Remigio?"
He stared at the middle-aged knight blankly, with a look of surprise on his face.
However, Viscount Remigio didn't even look at him.
The captain of the Kingdom's military branch bowed slightly to Charlotte and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, Count Castells, long time no see."
