-11- Escape

She, she, she, she, he ......!

How could she just call out that stinky book spirit?!

Looking at the scholar who was as respectful and well-behaved as a servant, the Blood Clan's eyes widened, almost doubting life.

It can be seen that she regularly feeds sperm and blood on weekdays, and the other party is still full of disdain for her and ignores her!

Charlotte, however, was not surprised by the appearance of the Book Spirit.

Just now, this guy tried to invade his body, but he was directly robbed of a lot of power, and she could feel that the other party was extremely afraid of her now.

This is also normal.

After all, Charlotte has the ability to destroy the Necronomicon at any time!

Hallows are no strangers to Charlotte.

After obtaining the power of [Divine Blessing], she has been studying how to infuse items with divine power to make them artifacts for most of the past six months.

Although because the divine power of her own blood was too precious, coupled with the lack of sufficient artifact materials at hand, Charlotte was unable to come up with a matching set of artifacts for herself in the end, but through a lot of literature reading, she had a deeper understanding of artifacts and holy weapons.

Like artifacts, sacred artifacts are also the creations of the gods, and they also contain divine powers.

Broadly speaking, since it is a creation of a god, a holy weapon can also be classified as a kind of artifact, but many times the transcendents of the Miria world like to list it separately.

Unlike artifacts, artifacts possess artifacts.

This also means that the Hallows are all wisdom weapons.

However, this does not mean that the Hallows are more powerful than the artifact.

In fact, on the contrary, the power of holy artifacts is generally much weaker than that of artifacts......

This is because the means of output and the source of power of the artifact are all "divine power", while the source of the power of the holy artifact is the offering and sacrifice of the "contractor".

At the end of the day, artifacts are pieces of equipment that gods create for their avatars when they walk on the ground, and while mortals can use them, they often come at a heavy cost.

The holy weapon, on the other hand, is a piece of equipment specially created by the gods for their agents, although there is a price to use, but the price is within the tolerance of mortals.

Sacred artifacts cannot use divine power as their own "source" of power like ordinary artifacts, and for them, "divine power" is the source of maintaining the existence of the artifact spirit.

If there is more divine power in the holy weapon, the "machine spirit" that cannot withstand it will be swallowed by the divine power.

And if there is less divine power in the holy weapon, the "machine spirit" will sleep or even dissipate, and the holy weapon will also degenerate into an ordinary weapon.

As for whether there is an artifact with a machine spirit, Charlotte is not clear.

It's just that in the literature she reads, it seems that there has never been an artifact with a machine spirit.

Possession of a machine spirit seems to be a taboo for artifacts......

Because of this, Charlotte knows very well that as long as she wants to destroy this book, it is enough to absorb the little divine power in it.

Of course, she can also do the opposite, injecting divine power to pollute and devour the book spirit.

In that case, the Hallows might turn into an even more powerful artifact.

Of course, in that case, the spirit of the book will dissipate, and for the wisdom weapon of the holy weapon, it will be equivalent to "death".

Charlotte knew, and so did the book spirit who felt the divine power of the blood in her body.

In order to survive, it is normal for the book spirit to admit intimidation.

Of course, these things are unknown to the blood girl and the middle-aged knight.

They could only widen their eyes and look incredulously at the book spirit who was usually high up, but now he was respectful and flattering like a dog......

"Put away all the undead."

Glancing faintly at the book spirit, Charlotte ordered.

"Great being, obey your commands......"

The Book Spirit respectfully saluted Charlotte, and the Necronomicon bloomed with deep brilliance, and the surging tide of the undead instantly collapsed, and all the undead turned into streamers in an instant, flying towards the Necronomicon in an instant.

At the same time, the face of the blood girl who was tied up by the five flowers turned pale, she was dizzy for a while, and her whole person's aura was even more sluggish.

Her eyes widened, and she looked at the dog-like book spirit with an even more incredible gaze, and her heart was shocked and angry:

This damned, shameless, damned book spirit!

It was obviously an order from someone else, and it actually consumed her power to take back those summoned undead!

Noticing the girl's gaze, Charlotte glanced at her with a smirk.

Charlotte has studied artifacts and holy artifacts for most of the past half a year, so she naturally knows that the holy weapon needs a contractor, and she also knows that these two guys are digging a hole for her just now.

But who let her have a plug-in.

After all, the use of power by the book spirit is stimulated by external forces, and it does not dare to beep with itself, so it naturally wants to pit its own contractor.

It can only be said that the girl did it herself.

Solving the problem of the tide of the dead, Charlotte closes the Book of the Dead.

And the book spirit who had been pardoned saluted her respectfully, and then searched it and got into the book, which was fast, as if he was afraid that he would be eaten alive if he stayed here for a second longer.

Naturally, handing the Book of the Dead to Sebas for temporary preservation, Charlotte gracefully sat on the noble chair that Sebas had conjured up at some point, and gently crossed Erlang's legs.

Sebas, on the other hand, quickly served Charlotte a glass of sweet milk, huh...... It's still in a crystal goblet.

Charlotte took it almost subconsciously, and her movements were skilful and elegant.

It wasn't until she put it to her lips and sipped it that she suddenly reacted, good fellow...... When did you become so proficient?

She couldn't help but look at Sebas, and the graceful Fire Elf returned with a bright smile and stood respectfully at her side, like the most faithful butler.

Charlotte: ......

She felt that her behavior was a bit downward, and the carriage had to roll out the red carpet Sebas, which meant that it was in it......

It's really polluted by Sebas's spirit.

This set of procedures also made the blood girl and the middle-aged knight stunned.

Although I want to complain about why someone still carries a noble chair with them when they go out, and why they use a crystal goblet to drink milk......

But don't say it, with the inexplicable temperament of a girl, there is really a unique ...... Well, elegant.

Charlotte took a sip of milk and handed the crystal cup to Sebas again, who quickly presented her with a folded silk scarf.

Charlotte wiped her mouth gracefully, put the silk scarf into the tray that Sebas didn't know where to take it from, and then asked in a good time:

"Tell me, who are you? Why attack my convoy? ”

"I have limited time and patience, so I'll give you a minute to answer my questions."

She sat on the back chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked condescendingly at the girl and the knight who were tied up with flowers.

Charlotte could see that these two people were probably not from the Blood Demon Order.

Although they were Blood, although they were holding the holy weapon left by the Bloodfiend Grand Duke Abaddon, although her summoning of the maiden in the Night Castle attracted the obstruction of the Bloodlord Prince...... But Charlotte didn't smell the disgusting smell of the Blood Demon cultists in them.

Charlotte believed that she would never forget that smell, it was the depraved aura of the soul that was polluted and corroded after participating in the blood sacrifice for a long time, and after unlocking the [True Ancestor Liberation], Charlotte was very sensitive to that aura.

This made her even more curious.

Listening to Charlotte's words, the girl glared at her angrily, and then soon greeted Sebas's pure smile:

"Beautiful young lady, if you look at your master with such presumptuous eyes, Sebas really can't help but want to gouge out her beautiful eyes."

The girl froze slightly, and her momentum suddenly weakened.

Her expression changed slightly, and she pursed her lips and gritted her teeth to withdraw her gaze.

The middle-aged knight looked at Charlotte and the two with a solemn expression, was silent for a few seconds, and said:

"Mercenaries, we are free mercenaries active in Violet."

Listening to the middle-aged knight's words, the girl couldn't help but glance at him, pursed her lips and fell into silence.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes.

Her gaze paused on the girl's dress, which was white, but still recognizable, and must have come from a high-end textile workshop, and then glanced at the middle-aged knight's armor, which was damaged in many places, but obviously had the style of the kingdom's military, and playfully said:

"Mercenaries?"

The middle-aged knight naturally noticed the playfulness in Charlotte's gaze and tone, but he did not panic, but said in a deep voice:

"Yes, mercenaries."

"Whatever our past identities, at least ...... Now we are Violet's free mercenaries. ”

In the past?

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

Seriously, the girl and the knight were dressed like declining nobles, which had to make her guess which family the other party had a grudge against Castell.

However, she did not delve into this issue.

Since the other party said that he was a mercenary, the meaning expressed was also obvious.

They attacked her convoy, not just for a grudge, but for someone else's mission.

Someone...... Don't want her to return to territory.

"Who is the one who hired you?"

Charlotte asked.

This time, the middle-aged knight didn't speak.

Charlotte frowned, noticing her disgruntled expression, and Sebas snorted and snapped his fingers.

With his movements, the forbidden demon chains that bound the middle-aged knight suddenly contracted, blooming with a series of electric light.

The middle-aged knight hissed, his face instantly pale, and his figure almost crumbling.

"Sorry, this ...... It can't be said that this is the norm for mercenaries. ”

He gritted his teeth and said with a shudder.

"The Third Prince! The man who hired us to intercept your convoy is the Third Prince of the Crescent Kingdom! ”

On the other side, the girl of the blood clan, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"Miss?!"

The middle-aged knight's eyes widened.

The girl pursed her lips and looked at him apologetically, then straightened up her body, which was much flatter than Charlotte's, and said calmly:

"Lahail is my blood, I am the one who calls the shots, and something is coming at me."

"Miss!"

The middle-aged knight couldn't help but want to get up, but was stopped by the girl:

"That's enough, Lahair, surviving is more important to us than the mercenary rules! I don't want to see you anymore because I'm suffering! ”

Listening to the girl's words, the middle-aged knight opened his mouth with a complicated expression.

Charlotte, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

The Third Prince?

Is it that the third prince doesn't want to see her return to the territory?

To be honest, she was not too surprised to know this answer, although she had only met the third prince Philip once, Charlotte didn't know why she didn't have a good impression of each other.

It seems to be some kind of instinct......

Also, Charlotte believed that it was certainly not a delusion that she felt the strange state of Eleanor, the daughter of the Duke of Boulder, that day.

The Third Prince...... It's not that simple.

Charlotte had a headache.

She could probably guess why the third prince would attack her.

Count Tulip is dead, Duke Boulder could choke his last breath at any moment, Leno relinquishes his inheritance, and her commitment to the Church is ambiguous by the fall of the High Priest Linus.

If there is a current first heir to the Count of Castel, it is Eleanor.

Thinking of this, Charlotte sighed softly.

It seems that as Sebas said, the strategic position of the Castel Territory is too important, and there are too many people who want to get the county.

Of course, she didn't directly believe the girl's words, but looked at Sebas.

Noticing Charlotte's gaze, Sebas suddenly understood, picked up the Book of the Dead again, and said in Charlotte's tone:

"Shuling, is what she said true?"

The Book of the Dead has no response.

Charlotte glanced faintly at the book:

"Book Spirit?"

"It's true, it's all true."

The Book of the Dead flickered slightly, and a respectful and hurried voice was heard.

Bloodline Girl: ......

Middle-Aged Knight: ......

The two of them widened their eyes, as if once again shocked by the shameless betrayal of the Book of the Dead.

Receiving the confirmation, Charlotte suddenly narrowed her eyes.

She glanced at the two of them and said:

"Where's your mission contract?"

To carry out such a large-scale mission to attack a caravan, the two must have signed a mercenary contract with the third prince.

Calculating the time, the third prince should have arrived in Boulder by now.

Boulder is too far away from Castel, and as a royal Philip, he must have the protection of the blazing sun, and there are probably a lot of things in her own territory that she needs to deal with herself, Charlotte has no energy to trouble the third prince for the time being.

But that doesn't mean she'll let the other go.

It is taboo to hire mercenaries to attack other nobles, and secretly some nobles may do this, but it must not be put on the surface.

Get the mercenary contract to poke out this matter, which is enough for the third prince to drink a pot.

Listening to Charlotte's words, the blood girl pursed her lips, and finally gritted her teeth and said:

"Contract...... I put it in the storage ring. ”

"Miss! No! ”

The middle-aged knight couldn't help but change his face.

For mercenaries, betraying the contract means ruining the mercenary's career, and it will also be blacklisted by the mercenary association.

The two of them don't seem to be wealthy, and it's clear that mercenary missions are their main source of income.

"Storage rings? Where is it? ”

Charlotte asked.

"Backpack, my backpack."

The girl gestured to the package that was placed on the ground not far away.

Charlotte gave Sebas a look, and Sebas nodded and took the package.

He fumbled around and soon found a ring.

However, at the moment when Sebas just took out the ring, the blood girl suddenly shouted:

"Laher! Now is the time! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly crashed into the middle-aged knight, and the middle-aged knight also fell behind her in the direction of the girl...... It was exactly where Sebas had just picked up the package.

The two of them quickly fell to the ground, and the next moment, the ground bloomed with dazzling light.

In Charlotte's surprised gaze, she saw the two figures flickering for a moment, and disappeared in an instant.

Sebas's expression changed slightly.

He flashed to the place where the two disappeared, and after some inspection, his face was a little ugly:

"Master, it's a one-time teleportation circle prepared in advance......"

"The package on the ground is the mechanism that triggers the magic circle!"

There is even a backhand to escape?

Charlotte was a little surprised.

……

At the same time, in a castle somewhere.

In the dimly lit chamber, the ground shimmered with light, and a huge circular circle faintly appeared.

With a series of spatial rhythms, the blood girl and the middle-aged knight who were tied up by the five flowers fell out in the light......
