Chapter 197 47 The Blood Count Appears

Chapter 197 -47- The Blood Earl Appears

"Madoc? Is that you?"

Charlotte looked at the mayor of North Port who locked the door quietly, and was a little surprised.

No, Charlotte didn't even know whether the person in front of her should be called Madoc.

Although it was still Madoc's fat round face, the other party's expression at this moment was completely different from the city councilor Charlotte knew.

There was no usual flattery and smoothness, 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.

The hazy magic light 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 breath began to surge!

He was no longer the ordinary person who was not even a transcendent, but instantly possessed powerful magic power and became an entry-level person!

Madoc...became a star wizard!

He raised the scrolls and tore them one by one. 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, Madoc came straight to Charlotte, saluted, and said:

"My Lord Earl, now...there are finally no annoying flies around you."

Charlotte frowned.

She thought the traitor was Len-Castell, and she also thought the traitor was Roman-Fol, but the only thing she didn't think of was the mayor of her own direct jurisdiction!

This is really a dark place under the lamp!

After arriving in Castel, Charlotte was warmly welcomed by the direct jurisdiction. She subconsciously thought that the officials in her own direct jurisdiction were still loyal to her, and the only problem was the feudal nobles.

But now, she suddenly realized that she might have been wrong from the beginning.

Yes, since the blood clan has infiltrated every aspect of Castel, then...how could it be impossible to infiltrate the direct jurisdiction? !

However, what surprised Charlotte was that the other party clearly did not have the qualifications of a mage, but at this moment he became a star mage. How did he do that?

Are those strange lines on his face?

What exactly is that?

Charlotte was curious.

However, her doubts were soon answered.

"Huh? Taboo magic pattern? It's been so many years, is there anyone who can use this thing?"

The voice of Black Cat Nice, who was a little surprised and even excited, rang out.

Taboo magic pattern?

Charlotte's heart moved.

At the same time, her divine countermeasure, which had not been activated for a long time, suddenly started to work again, and the familiar scarlet text slowly emerged in her vision——

[The Blood Sacred Code detected the activated divine ritual——]

[Spell name: Nicholas's forbidden magic pattern]

[Spell caster: Humphrey Lackland]

[Receiver: Madoc Orlan]

[Spell effect: The blasphemous divine spell created by the legendary wizard Nicholas. The spell caster can give the receiver a blessing similar to that of a god. The receiver will sacrifice his life potential and soul power to gain huge magic power and potential beyond the mundane. ]

[Interception probability judgment: 100%]

[Intercept? ]

The blasphemous divine spell of the legendary wizard Nicholas?

Humphrey Lackland?

Wait, is this the Blood Earl of the Ness clan who sneaked into Castel?

Looking at the information that appeared in front of her, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Madoc:

"You defected to the Ness clan?"

Madoc was a little surprised:

"You actually know the Ness clan?"

Charlotte took a sip of black tea:

"Infiltrated the nobles, controlled the mining workshop, and intended to control my Castel... I am not blind to make such a big fuss."

"To be honest, I really don't know what these Ness clans do to my Castel instead of staying in the Falling Star Kingdom."

As she said, Charlotte looked at Madoc again and said calmly:

"Madoc, my Castel treats you well, why do you want to betray?"

Madoc sighed slightly and said:

"Sorry, Lord Earl."

"No matter how hard I try, without extraordinary potential, I can only get the non-hereditary baronial title in the territory..."

"I am indeed very grateful for everything the Castel family has brought me, but my contribution to the territory is far greater than what I get. I got more."

"I am the mayor of Beigang, but because I am not a hereditary noble, any hereditary baron or even knight looks down on me..."

"Hereditary nobles can only belong to extraordinary people. Since Castel can't give me what I want, then... I have to ask for help from others."

"Anyway... Castel has no future. In the face of a more powerful force, even if you are the saint of the Holy Court, you can't stop Castel from changing hands!"

After speaking, Madoc looked at Charlotte and said sincerely:

"Lord Charlotte, although I haven't worked with you for too long, but... I can see that you really want to be an excellent lord."

"But unfortunately... your power is too weak. Without Lord Sebastian, you can't compete with the power of the blood clan at all."

"You can't imagine... how high our control over Castel has reached!"

"For the sake of our past friendship, I sincerely suggest that you submit to the Nice Clan."

"As long as you are willing to offer your loyalty to the Nice 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 Nice Clan using extraordinary power and titles...

Charlotte thought thoughtfully.

"Pfft... Extraordinary? So do 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 terrible. To put it bluntly, this is just a derivative of a failed experiment."

"Or do you think you can control Lord Charlotte with this false power?"

Black Cat Nice shook his head and said.

Madoc glanced at Nice and smiled:

"Lord Nice is right. I know that my power is borrowed."

"But... I don't have many years left to live. It's enough to create a bright future for the next generation."

"What's more, after the mission is completed, I will naturally receive the First Embrace of the noble Ness clan. At that time... I will be a more powerful and noble blood clan than ordinary extraordinary people. Not only will I have power beyond ordinary extraordinary people, but I will also have the ability to live forever!"

"Compared with the eternal life in the future, the little life span and soul power now are nothing!"

Madoc's expression was fanatical and full of yearning.

As he said that, he looked at Charlotte again and persuaded:

"Lord Earl, this may be the last time I call you Lord Earl, accept the recruitment of the Nice Clan."

"I know you must have made various arrangements in the Earl's Mansion, but unfortunately... even if you prepare again, you are just a first-level professional of the Stars. Even with the assistance of Mr. Sebas, you can only compete with Silver Moon at most."

"I can tell you clearly that the person behind me is the Earl of Blood, a 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 adults of the Nice Clan will be happy to accept you, give you the power of the blood clan, and let you become a part of the great Nice Clan!"

After listening to Madoc's words, Nice looked at Charlotte strangely.

A lackey of the Blood Clan, who was not even the lowest-level blood servant, stood in front of the great Blood True Ancestor and persuaded him to accept the recruitment and become the descendant of the Blood Clan, who had been iterated for who knows how many generations...

This scene was really funny.

Charlotte smiled.

She touched her chin, as if thinking:

"Eternal life? It does sound like a good suggestion..."

Madoc also smiled.

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 me."

He sighed:

"In this case, we have to use tough measures to make you obedient..."

After that, he drew a complex snake symbol on his chest and said loudly:

"Oath·Blood Spirit Descent!"

A dark red light bloomed on Madoc's body, and at the same time, Charlotte's vision once again reappeared the familiar scarlet text--

[The Blood Holy Book detected the activation of the divine ritual--]

[Spell name: Nicholas's Oath Spirit Descent Spell]

[Spellcaster: Madoc Orlan]

[Summoning object: Humphrey Lackland]

[Spell effect: The blasphemous spell created by the legendary wizard Nicholas. The spellcaster establishes a connection with the summoned object through the oath prayer. The oath object will project its will in a way similar to the descent of God, projecting it in front of the spellcaster. 】

[Interception probability judgment: 100%]

[Interception or not? ]

Will projection?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She did not stop Madoc's action, but let him perform it. The next moment, a strong breath rose from behind Madoc.

The blood-colored light slowly gathered, and in Charlotte's surprised and curious eyes, it condensed into an illusory figure behind Madoc.

The illusory figure wore half a mask, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only a bunch of scarlet eyes and a majestic silver robe were revealed. The robe was painted with stars and long snakes, which was the symbol of the Ness clan.

And with the appearance of the other party, a faint blood color suddenly spread in the study, accompanied by the powerful pressure that made people palpitate...

It was the spiritual realm.

This is a third-level blazing sun strongman!

The illusory figure glanced at Madoc calmly, and a rumbling voice slowly sounded:

"Madoc, you called too slowly."

"Sorry... Lord Earl, I wanted to try again to see if I could get Castel's support... But now it seems that I have failed."

Madoc bowed respectfully to the illusory figure and replied.

"On your own! If you do it again, you will never get the holy first embrace again."

The illusory figure glanced at Madoc coldly.

After hearing his words, Madoc looked nervous and terrified:

"No! Never again!"

However, the illusory figure no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Charlotte.

"Charlotte de Castel?"

The scarlet virtual pupils stared at the girl behind the desk, with a hint of confusion.

"Humphrey Lackland?"

Charlotte also looked at the other party, with a bit of curiosity in her expression.

Being called by name directly, the virtual figure was obviously a little surprised:

"You actually know me?"

"Humph! People from the Roman family... As expected, they are not trustworthy!"

The Roman family?

Charlotte's eyes flickered slightly.

The virtual figure's sight fell on Charlotte's stunningly beautiful face again.

The scarlet pupils flashed a trace of surprise and emotion, and the rumbling voice sounded again:

"Looks like... Really looks like..."

"Human inheritance is really amazing. Seeing this face that is almost exactly the same as Her Highness Anne's, it really makes people miss it so much..."

After hearing the words of the virtual figure, Charlotte's heart jumped:

"Do you know my mother?"

Anne is the name of the mother of the body that Charlotte traveled through, and Charlotte knows that her mother is a noble from the Falling Star Kingdom.

However, no one in Castel has ever mentioned the identity of his mother, as if it was a deliberately buried history.

As far as Charlotte knows, this is related to the Star-Moon War that lasted for eighty years.

But at this moment, hearing the title of the Blood Earl in front of her, Charlotte's eyelids twitched wildly.

Anne... Her Highness?

Charlotte was very curious about what her mother's identity was to be called "Her Highness".

However, the illusory figure obviously had no interest in chatting with Charlotte.

He looked down at Charlotte, his voice gradually excited and trembling, and in the trembling, there seemed to be a bit of gnashing of teeth:

"I miss it so much... that I want to destroy it, I miss it so much that I want to tear it apart, I miss it so much that I can't wait to see you crawling at our feet and kneeling down to beg for mercy!"

His eyes became more and more presumptuous, and his voice became more and more angry:

"Urst said that he would use courtesy before force, and try his best to win you over, saying that you Castel are not Roman after all..."

"This matter... I strongly opposed it from the beginning."

"Now It seems that my objection is indeed correct! "

"After all, seeing such a face, I am afraid that no Nice can hold back the anger in his heart!"

As he said, the illusory figure became more solid, and a more shocking pressure bloomed from his body, and along with the pressure, there was a tsunami-like mental shock:

"Remnants of the Roman family! Bear the anger of the Nice clan and become slaves of our blood descendants forever!"

The terrifying breath burst out, and the vast will of the third level of Blazing Sun turned into a dark red consciousness storm, rushing towards Charlotte's soul!

Seeing this scene, Black Cat Nice couldn't help but cover his eyes, and sighed in his heart:

Alas... Why are there always guys who overestimate their own abilities and want to invade the spiritual world of this old monster?
