-21- The old man is so cute
When Sebas returned to the hotel room, Shirley was putting on Charlotte's makeup.
Without looking back, Charlotte saw the fire spirit coming in in the mercury mirror, and chuckled:
"Finished talking?"
"Well, we're done."
Sebas nodded, subconsciously looking at Charlotte, who was sitting in front of the dresser with her back to her.
At this glance, he was quickly stunned.
I saw that Charlotte's aristocratic costume had been replaced by a patched civilian costume.
But this is not the most surprising, what is surprising is the pair of fluffy wolf ears on the top of her head, and the wolf tail behind her that is not known how it is fixed, and her hair color is dyed the same gray as a werewolf.
Shirley's work continued, carefully gluing the werewolf's characteristic hair to the sides of Charlotte's cheeks.
Sebastian: ......
"How? Like? ”
Charlotte motioned for Shirley to stop, and glanced back at Sebas, revealing a pair of red eyes.
This is all over the body, and only this pair of eyes is not disguised.
Sebas was slightly stunned by her sweet smile, and couldn't help but say:
"Like, very much like, very much like the down-and-out lady of the werewolf clan who ran away from home...... Well, the clothes you have are quite real. ”
Charlotte: ......
She looked back at the mercury mirror, muttered for a moment, and said to Shirley:
"The skin is rough and darker again......"
Shirley nodded and continued her work.
Sebas only felt her hands flutter quickly over Charlotte's face, as if by magic, and Charlotte's appearance soon changed.
Looking at the appearance of the little girl who looked more and more like an ordinary werewolf, he couldn't help but say:
"Shirley's makeup...... It's comparable to a magician......"
Charlotte laughed and said:
"Of course, as a maid, Shirley is a professional."
After speaking, she and Sebas looked at each other through the mirror, thought for a moment, and asked:
"I'm looking at the dinner table, and Louf seems to have something on his mind?"
Sebas's face suddenly became strange, and he nodded:
"Yes, he did, and he told me everything."
"Something to do with me?"
"Yes, it's about you."
"Say."
"Thanks to the 'miracles' of the coming-of-age ceremony, he really regarded you as a saint of the Holy Court."
Charlotte: ......
"Even Luffy thinks so, it seems that this label is more tightly attached than I thought."
Charlotte said helplessly.
She did have the idea of using the name of a saint to facilitate her actions in the realm.
But if the momentum is too loud and too eye-catching, it will have the opposite effect.
On the one hand, this means that she has become a target representing the Holy Court, which is likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, and may even accidentally injure "her own people"; On the other hand, it is also very likely to attract the attention of the high-level of the Holy Court.
Charlotte wanted to get wool, not to get herself involved.
"It's true that rumors that you are a saint have spread more than we thought, but it seems that the Castells Territory is spreading more than anywhere else, and there must be someone behind it."
Sebas said.
Hearing his words, Charlotte narrowed her eyes:
"It's nothing more than the nobles who oppose me, let them bounce for a few more days."
As she spoke, she changed the subject:
"Tonight's operation, you and Ness go with me, our identities are new miners, you are my brother, Ness is my pet."
The sturdy miners in the Castel silver mines mysteriously disappeared, so the vast majority of miners were actually old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were countless child laborers.
Of course, for sub-humans and orcs, even if they are child laborers, their strength is comparable to that of adult human males with slightly weaker physical strength.
The wages of the old, the sick and the disabled are certainly less than those of the average miner, except at night, when the Castel silver mines operate around the clock for twelve months of the year, and miners work every night.
In order to earn a little more money, many child laborers choose to work at night.
However, many subhumans tend to have a diurnal nature, and working at night is indeed more efficient for them.
These things were told to Charlotte by the werewolf Luff.
When she learned that there was a lot of child labor in the mines, Charlotte had mixed feelings.
After all, the property rights to the Castel silver mine are nominally hers, and in a sense, she is the owner of the exploitation of child labor.
Of course, what the mine is all about, she has the opportunity to see.
"What do you think, Brother Sebas?"
Putting away all her thoughts, Charlotte turned her head and moved the prosthetic ear above her head, and smiled brightly at her housekeeper.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
Hearing Charlotte's title, Sebas couldn't help but gasp, and the whole person subconsciously stood up his waist, suddenly feeling a lot of pressure, but at the same time there was an inexplicable comfort.
"What? Brother has a problem? Why don't you change to a brother? ”
Charlotte tilted her little head with her mouth shut.
Looking at her incomparably cute appearance, Sebas swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a radiant expression:
"Or ...... It's still my brother, but I don't need to call it by name. ”
"How do I feel like you're actually enjoying it?"
Charlotte chuckled deliberately.
"You're mistaken, it's just that I've always wanted to have someone like you...... Well, pretty sister. ”
Old Sebas blushed, then straightened his back, regained his elegance and respectfully.
This guy obviously wanted to say cute at first, but I am afraid that when he talked about it, he realized that it didn't seem to be very respectful to say cute to a "god", so he changed his words to pretty.
Charlotte didn't care.
She knew she was cute.
The first thing she does when she gets up every morning is to admire her prosperous beauty in the mirror, and secretly say "The old man is so cute", and she will be in a good mood all day long.
It's also a kind of comfort in my heart, although the gender has changed, but if I think about it, many people want to cross into such a beautiful and cute, plug-in and rich little vampire can't wear it!
……
After Charlotte put on her makeup, Sebas followed suit.
Soon, a fresh pair of werewolf siblings came out.
The only problem is that the younger sister is much shorter than the elder brother, and looks more like a father and daughter.
Charlotte's body obviously belongs to the kind that develops relatively late, and when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked like she was twelve or thirteen years old, and later she became a vampire, and when she was formed, she didn't develop.
But Charlotte was satisfied.
Except for the height, at least it is not as cumbersome as Charlotte who grew up in the posture of the true ancestor.
By the time the two of them had packed up and were ready to go, Nice was already ready.
This guy seems to be fat again, especially with his bulging belly, which looks like he is eating less while everyone is busy.
"Meow! Lord Charlotte, you're finally ready! When are we leaving?! ”
Nice looked quite excited to finally be taken by the great "gods" to do something, and once jumped in front of Charlotte, the cat's tail cocked high.
However, Charlotte looked at it and sent it to the pet hospital, and it will definitely be said by the veterinarian that your cat is seriously overweight and should lose weight, otherwise it is very likely that there will be arthritis and heart disease that affects the weight of life expectancy, and quickly fell into deep thought.
"Werewolf brothers and sisters who live in a difficult life shouldn't have such a fat pet cat, right?"
She asked, glancing at herself and Sebas's patched coats.
"No, unless it's food you bring with you, after all, werewolves eat meat."
Sebas said with a smile.
Nice:......
Charlotte sighed, crouched down and patted Nice's fat cat's head:
"Nice, it's really time for you to lose weight."
After saying that, he walked out over the black cat.
Sebas also patted Nice's cat head and sighed:
"Did you hear that, Your Excellency? The owner wants you to lose weight. When I go back this time, don't take the carriage, let's exercise more and run for a run. ”
Nice:......
……
Although Nice Fat was like a pig disguised as a cat, Charlotte eventually took it with her.
Instead of being held in your arms as a pet, let it follow by itself and blend in at night.
Anyway, its hair is also black, and it can't be seen at night without lights, and the supervisor of the mine is not a subhuman with strong night vision, but a human nobleman.
The Castel Silver Mine is located to the east of the Silver Mining City, spanning the city and beyond.
This is not the earliest mining site of the silver mine, the earliest mining site is elsewhere, but with the continuous mining for hundreds of years, the mine has been dug deeper and deeper, and the main mining area has been transferred here.
The underground veins of Castel are very large, divided into the south and north areas, of which the south area is the largest, owned by the Crescent royal family, and the north area is smaller, which is the Castel family's own mining area.
The two districts are actually connected, and the day-to-day management is all together, and both are managed by the Castel mining workshop, which is a subsidiary of the Castel family.
In the early days, the ownership of the mining workshop was all owned by the Castel family, and with the division of interests from generation to generation over the centuries, today, less than 50% of the ownership of the Castel family remains, and the remaining 50% is scattered in the hands of other noble families in Castel.
It is worth mentioning that the Crescent royal family is not involved in the operation of the mining workshop, they are only responsible for the receipt of cash slips, the collection of Mithril, and the presence of overseers and troops in the mining workshop is 1,500 people.
This is another point of Charlotte's doubts.
If there really were dragons in the mines, then why didn't the overseers and army of the Crescent royal family react?
You must know that those who can be sent here by the Crescent Moon Royal Family to serve as overseers and guards must be transcendental, and at least they are also the second order of the Silver Moon.
As for the army, not to mention, Charlotte had already seen the regular army of the kingdom escorting the third prince Philip on the way to Castel, and the overall strength was also very strong.
A giant dragon may be strong, but with the power of the Crescent Moon Royal Family, it is not difficult to mobilize troops to slaughter it.
Unless that dragon is legendary.
But a legendary dragon wouldn't let humans mine in their own brains and plates.
Or rather...... In fact, there are no dragons at all in the mining area? But there is something else to hide?
Charlotte was thoughtful.
With all sorts of questions, Charlotte arrives as promised, and meets with the werewolf Luff outside the mine at the appointed time.
Seeing Charlotte's appearance, Luffy was visibly stunned for a moment.
"How? Like? ”
Charlotte asked with a smile.
Luff nodded, with an emotion:
"Like ...... It's really like ...... If I hadn't known it was you, I would have looked at it from afar and really thought I had met a clansman. ”
"Looking from afar? To put it this way...... Are there any loopholes in the details? ”
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, grasping the key to Luff's words.
Luffy scratched his head, and stopped talking.
"Say, it's fine."
Charlotte encouraged.
Luff hesitated for a moment, then stubbornly said:
"It's only for werewolves with a keen sense of smell, maybe humans shouldn't be able to find ......."
As he spoke, he glanced at Charlotte and said cautiously:
"Your body is so fragrant."
Charlotte: ......
Luffy's words made her suddenly realize a problem.
That is, no matter how similar her makeup is, it can't change the fact that she is essentially a nobleman who bathes every day.
The nobles of Miria's native country are not as hygienic as hers, let alone the werewolves who have been wandering and doing all kinds of coolies.
That's right, the Bloodline is very good at concealing aura.
But that's the smell of hidden magic, not the smell.
Charlotte couldn't help but look at the black cat Nice.
As a mysterious and transcendent creature with keen senses, she couldn't believe that this guy hadn't discovered this vulnerability.
Being stared at by Charlotte, Ness was also a little uncomfortable, and it cleared its throat and said:
"Ahem...... Charlotte, isn't that you still in the mines? I'm ready to use the magic to hide the smell. ”
Charlotte nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, with the words of Lord Nice, then there is no problem."
Werewolf Luff said.
Ness casts a hidden scent spell on Charlotte and Sebas, and the two and the cat follow Louf into the mines.
At the entrance to the mining area, there were already some miners waiting, and it seemed that there were almost twenty of them, all of them subhumans, that is, humanoids with obvious animal characteristics, but their appearance was biased towards human aesthetics.
Moreover, the vast majority are werewolves.
The miners were men and women, old and young, and Charlotte even saw a werewolf who looked about her age, Xiao Zhengtai, dirty, thin and weak.
Of course, she said that she was about the same age, but she looked younger than she really was, and considering that the life span of the subhuman was about the same as that of a human, the other party should only be a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
The leader was an old werewolf miner, with a bow on his back, and a wine bag pinned to his waist.
Seeing Luf, he frowned slightly:
"Why did you come so slowly today?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Charlotte and Sebas behind Louv, a little confused.
"Old Logan, this is the clansmen of our tribe, Barcel and his sister Raisa, Tanan and Roca can't come over tonight because of something, they volunteered to come and replace them for the night."
Luffy said in a deep voice.
