-30- Take him down!

"Count Castel? She's the Earl of Castel?! ”

"Could it be that the Earl has already come to Castel?"

"The Northland Falcon's crest is indeed the family crest of the Castel family, and it also has the iconic blond hair and blue eyes of the Castel family......"

"The appearance is the same, I heard that the Castel family has a little elven blood, and it is also known as the family favored by the god of beauty, and the rumors are indeed true......"

"No wonder...... No wonder there are elf butlers. ”

"But the Earl is not sixteen years old, and she looks ...... It seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old. ”

"Could it be...... Is it also because of the elven blood? ”

Charlotte's self-revealing speech instantly detonated the entire mine, and everyone fell into a commotion.

In the northern lowlands, 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 discussions came and went.

It can't be fake, it can't be fake.

The powerful elven butler, the genuine Castel badge, coupled with the iconic appearance, gorgeous aristocratic costumes and mysterious and noble temperament, ...... for a while Many people at the scene believed it.

The little werewolf Noah was completely stunned.

His eyes widened and his mouth wide open, so that he could stuff a goose egg.

He had imagined any identity that Lesa might hide, but he hadn't imagined that she would be the legendary Count of Castell!

The richest countess of the Crescent Kingdom, the master of the northern lowlands, the holy woman who walks the world, and the daughter of the god Harald......

Ancestors are on top!

He actually met the legendary Count of Castel, and he talked and laughed with each other!

He, he, he...... Isn't he dreaming?!

The little werewolf was dizzy, and there was a sense of absurdity and helplessness that he had been chatting with people for a long time, and suddenly found that the other party was the leader of the country.

Of course...... There is also a sense of surprise.

He's got to know the Count of Castel!

He, he, he...... He's 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 blow for the rest of his life.

It wasn't just little Noah who fell into shock, but the old werewolf Logan in the crowd was also stunned.

This old miner who personally brought Charlotte and others into the mine never thought that he would be brought into the mine by himself to be such a character!

However, the biggest impact was on the guards who surrounded Charlotte and the others.

After listening to Charlotte's words, they were equally stunned, and then quickly fell into a commotion.

I don't know which guard put away his sword first, anyway...... When the first guard went into action, soon there was a second, a third......

Even the two advanced officers who led the team hesitated, and after glancing at each other, they slowly put down the weapons in their hands.

Seeing this scene, the expression of the senior steward completely changed.

He looked at Charlotte in disbelief, looking a little flustered.

However, his expression quickly regained his determination.

I saw him grit his teeth and scolded:

"Bold! Pretending to be Lord Earl! ”

"Lord Earl is obviously in Beigang, how can he appear in Silver Mining City?"

"The badge on her must have been snatched from Master Cod! She's a fake! ”

"Guards! Don't be fooled by her! ”

Listening to the words of the senior steward, the stunned guards hesitated again.

But...... But none of them immediately took up arms again.

Such is the prestige of Castel.

These guards do need to follow orders, but first...... They were the guards of the Castel Territory, and their allegiance was not to the stewards of the mining workshops, but to the Castel family.

Seeing this scene, the senior deacon was going to be angry.

He gritted his teeth and shouted at the two officers:

"Raymond, Frey! Don't forget your duties! ”

The two officers hesitated.

"Raymond! Frey! ”

The senior deacon repeated angrily.

The two officers looked at each other again, gritted their teeth, and ordered the guards around them:

"Guards, take up arms and surround them!"

But after that, they owed Charlotte and the others again, and said:

"This ...... My lord, Castel's family crest alone may not prove your identity, and we will not be able to disarm our defenses. ”

"If you're really that adult, we'll be punished when your identity is officially confirmed!"

Sebas 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, and if it can be distributed here, it is naturally the elite of the elite."

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 create a special token that belongs to me in the future, and there are still too many falcon badges in the family. ”

"Hey, I'm afraid there hasn't been an earl before you who didn't even bring a noble retinue for a private visit."

Nice on the other side laughed.

This series of dialogues is not hidden, and it is said in a dignified manner.

Although they were still on alert, after listening to the conversation between Charlotte and the others, the guards were obviously a little more convinced of their identities, and the swords in their hands involuntarily moved down.

Even the two officers subconsciously stood more straight.

Seeing this scene, the senior deacon's expression became even more gloomy.

His eyes flickered, and he suddenly whispered to Steward Mael beside him:

"Go and ask Remisio-sama to ......"

Then, he raised his head and continued to shout to Charlotte, who was surrounded by layers:

"You ...... Don't move! Until you know who you really are, you are not allowed to move! Otherwise...... Let's release the crossbow arrows! ”

Sebas's gaze swept over the heavy crossbows, and a hint 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 threatens us to release arrows!"

"Let him beg."

Charlotte didn't care at all, but smiled lightly:

"It's just right, you can completely solve the matter of the Mithril Mine."

With that, she gave Sebas a look, and Sebas suddenly understood, snapped his fingers, summoned a noble chair from the storage space, and placed it respectfully and elegantly behind Charlotte.

After Charlotte had naturally sat down, he respectfully summoned milk and goblet.

Fortunately, Charlotte said "this is not necessary" before he acted, so that the scene of drinking milk with a goblet on the spot was not staged.

Privately, it doesn't matter when there are few people.

Now that so many people are watching, Charlotte doesn't want to perform this in public, she always feels weird.

Sebas immediately understood, and replaced the milk with black tea, and the goblet with a carved porcelain cup from the Far East.

This time, Charlotte naturally took it and sipped it lightly.

And while drinking tea, she didn't forget to chat with the guard officers who surrounded her:

"Which of you is Raymond? Which is Frey? Which family is it from? ”

The two officers, visibly flattered, replied respectfully:

"I'm Raymond."

"I'm Frey."

"My lord, we are not nobles, but commoners."

That anxious and respectful gesture, saying that it is the side that surrounds it, is more like the side of the guard, which is quite weird.

The senior deacon's face became even more ugly.

Charlotte was a little surprised, and smiled:

"A commoner-born entry-leveler? Not bad! ”

"When this incident is over, I will be transferred back to the Earl's Court as my personal guard."

Listening to Charlotte's words, the two officers were visibly excited.

Being an officer in a mine may make a lot of money, but if you can follow a noble lord as a knight of the guard, you have a chance to become a real nobleman!

They almost subconsciously wanted to salute, but after noticing the senior deacon's face, they quickly realized that something was wrong, and quickly suppressed the excitement in their hearts and put their faces back on their faces.

And at this moment, there was another commotion from the crowd of onlookers in the distance, and the neat footsteps of the marching army could be faintly heard.

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly, and she handed the porcelain cup to Sebas, and then looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

I saw that the crowd moved out of the way to both sides, and a group of well-equipped soldiers rushed in.

All transcendental, all steel enchanted plate armor.

This...... It's a regular army of the kingdom!

It was the arrival of the Kingdom troops stationed at the silver mines of Castel.

The soldiers of the kingdom came to the scene, separated on both sides.

Immediately afterward, a tall knight in full armor came to the scene surrounded by a group of knights.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, tall and mighty, with a hooked nose and a rather fierce face.

Seeing the middle-aged knight, the crowd of onlookers at the scene obviously stirred again:

"It's Viscount Remisio! The detachment leader of the third detachment of the 1st Corps! ”

"Is that the captain of the detachment guarding the silver mines of Castel?"

"I heard that he has a good personal relationship with Ward Kede, and he is also a knight of the second order of the Silver Moon, and he is only one step away from the Blazing Sun......"

"Shhh...... Isn't the Earl in trouble? ”

"Be quiet, it doesn't have to be the Earl......"

The onlookers were talking, and many of them had a frightened expression when they saw the middle-aged knight, and the fierce leader of the kingdom legion seemed to be very awe-inspiring in the mines.

"What happened?"

I saw the middle-aged knight's gaze sweep over the crowd and asked.

Seeing the middle-aged knight, the senior steward of the mine was visibly relieved.

I saw him quickly come to the other party, salute flatteringly, and then said angrily:

"Mistress Remisio...... Someone pretended to be our Lord Count and brutally murdered Lord Cod! ”

As he spoke, he said with a handful of snot and tears:

"You are a friend of Lord Cod, and a collaborator of the workshop, please be sure to call the shots for Lord Cod!"

"Oh? Impersonating the Earl of Castell? And also killed Cord? Who is so bold? ”

The middle-aged knight's expression suddenly became a little dangerous.

"That's them!"

The senior steward pointed to Charlotte and the others, who were surrounded by guards.

The middle-aged knight's gaze suddenly fell on Charlotte and the others.

Feeling the aura on his body that was not weaker than himself, and the well-equipped Kingdom soldiers who were good enough to compete with Silver Moon, Sebas's expression suddenly sank.

He took a step and got in front of Charlotte.

"Elves?"

Looking at Sebas, the middle-aged knight's gaze was a little surprised.

But soon, he still set his eyes on Charlotte and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the same time, the soldiers of the kingdom raised their weapons and prepared to attack.

For a while, the originally "happy" scene suddenly became tense.

"Mistress Remisio, that's her! She also slandered Lord Cod for colluding with outsiders! ”

"Lord Remisio, you know, Lord Cod has always been conscientious, and he is a great hero of our Castells!"

"This impostor not only killed him, but also bewitched our Castel soldiers, you are a knight of the kingdom, please be the master of our Castel family!"

The senior steward of the mining workshop cried.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers was a little commotion.

The steward of the workshop actually planned to ask the kingdom army to take action and directly suppress the girl suspected of being the Count of Castel!

"This ...... The steward wants the kingdom military to take action? ”

"Isn't it okay? Isn't this an opportunity for the military to meddle in the affairs of the county? ”

"What's the steward thinking?"

"It's really troublesome...... I heard that Viscount Remisio acted without scruples and did things according to likes and dislikes, Lord Count...... Unless she can prove that she is really the Earl immediately, I am afraid that it will be dangerous......"

The crowd of onlookers was full of discussions.

Among the miners, the old werewolf Logan's expression changed slightly.

His gaze fell on Noah and Luffy, and then he looked carefully at Charlotte, who was still sitting elegantly and calmly, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a slight hesitation, the old werewolf Logan gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted:

"I ...... I can testify! She's the Earl! ”

"Lord Earl is here for a private visit to Weifu to investigate the truth about the depletion of the Mithril Mine! So I didn't bring any other nobles! ”

Listening to the words of the old werewolf Logan, the onlookers were stunned.

Then, subconsciously took a step away from him.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the old werewolf, even Viscount Remisio showed an interested expression.

"Logan! You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about?! ”

The senior steward's expression changed slightly, and he scolded angrily.

"Guards! What are you still doing? Hurry up and take this werewolf who colludes with outsiders down! ”

He commanded the guards again.

However, when the senior steward looked back, he was slightly stunned.

I saw that Castell's guards not only did not move, but stood in front of Charlotte, looking at the regular army of the kingdom with a wary expression.

"Raymond! Frey! What are you doing? Are you crazy? ”

The senior steward said angrily.

The two guards officers glanced at Viscount Remisio and said coldly:

"Your Excellency, are you crazy?"

"Whether or not this is Lord Earl, Castel's business...... It can't be interfered with by the nobles of other kingdoms! ”

Seeing this scene, the old werewolf Logan was in good spirits and became bolder:

"Clansmen! That's the Count of Castell! The Earl has come this time to clean up the mines! ”

"Hurry up and let me do it! Join the guards to protect the Earl! Don't let these kingdom armies hurt Lord Count! ”

As he spoke, he was the first to strike, rushed out of the crowd, and stood on the side of Charlotte and the guards.

And with him taking the lead, some clever miners also immediately took action, picked up the mining tools and ran to the mine.

In the blink of an eye, the mine was clearly divided into two factions, which was extremely dramatic.

The senior steward of the workshop looked at the Castel guards and the miners who quickly defected with the arrival of the kingdom's army, and said in a trembling voice:

"It's the other way around...... It's all reversed! ”

"Rebellion! This is a rebellion! ”

"Lord Viscount! These people have been completely seduced! Please help my Castel family to suppress these traitors! ”

Listening to the words of the senior steward, Sebas's expression froze slightly.

"Master, this viscount...... I'm afraid it's also the people on that side. ”

He looked at the middle-aged knight vigilantly and whispered.

However, when Sebas's eyes looked at Charlotte, he found that Charlotte's expression was still calm.

Not only was he calm, but he looked at the middle-aged knight's gaze and seemed to have a hint of a smile.

Sebas was slightly stunned.

And then, he saw Charlotte get up from her seat and walk forward.

The guards and miners in front of Charlotte hesitated, and got out of the way under Charlotte's signal, and after coming to the front of the crowd, Charlotte calmly looked at the expressionless middle-aged knight, and suddenly smiled slightly:

"Your Excellency Viscount Remisio, after many years of not seeing, you still look so powerful."

"After all these years, I wonder if Mrs. Camille's body is recovering?"

Listening to Charlotte's words, the middle-aged knight suddenly narrowed his eyes again.

Immediately afterwards, I saw his expression suddenly cold:

"Come on, take down this sinner who offended the nobles of the kingdom for me!"

Listening to Viscount Remisio's order, the senior steward of the workshop breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he was stunned to find that the soldiers of the kingdom army had swords on his neck.

"Thunder...... Lord Remisio? ”

He stared blankly at the middle-aged knight, his face stunned.

However, Viscount Remisio didn't even look at him at all.

I saw that the detachment leader of the kingdom's military bowed slightly to Charlotte and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Count Castel, I haven't seen you for many years."
