-39- Are you a Blood?!
"Name?"
"Ah...... Agnès. ”
"Last name?"
“……”
"Who is your Bloodline Chief? When and how did you become a Bloodline? ”
“……”
In the interrogation room of Earl's Court, Charlotte sat elegantly behind the interrogation table, sipping Sebas's brewed black tea while interrogating the blood girl who was tied up by the five flowers.
As for why not milk...... It's just because she thinks it doesn't feel too serious to drink it when she's interrogating.
However, it was obvious that the girl in front of her was not cooperative, except for the name that was reported first, Charlotte had any questions, Agnès was just silent, looking at her unconvinced.
Charlotte wasn't angry either.
She gently stroked the Book of the Dead on the table, and behind her, the vague book spirit that had conjured up was standing cautiously behind her, flattering her shoulder.
Charlotte took a sip of black tea and said with a smile:
"Miss Agnès, I have many ways to get you to speak, but ...... I'm a reasonable person, and I'm a reasonable person, and I don't really want to use some extreme means unless necessary. ”
"I also hope that you can cooperate a little, after all...... My patience wasn't that good. ”
Looking at Charlotte's slender hand gently caressing the Book of the Dead, Agnès's face was a little unsightly.
She pursed her lips and said stubbornly:
"I planted it this time! I have nothing to say, if you want to kill, you can do whatever you want! But...... I'm not going to bow down to Castel! ”
"Castel...... Castel again, and it seems that you have a considerable hostility towards Castel, or rather, a grudge? ”
Charlotte smiled slightly.
Agnès looked away and remained silent.
Charlotte put the teacup down and thoughtfully:
"Let me guess? You used to be a nobleman, don't you...... An enemy of the Castel family in the past?"
Agnès remained silent.
Charlotte looked at her quietly, and suddenly chuckled:
"It seems that you really don't want to cooperate."
With that, her expression suddenly became indifferent, and her deep blue pupils suddenly turned bloody, emitting a crimson halo.
A faint sense of majesty emanated from Charlotte, and she looked into Agnès's eyes, and her cold voice carried no doubt:
"Answer my question!"
As Charlotte drank softly, Agnès only felt a thunderclap resounding in her consciousness, making her spirit tremble.
At the same time, everything around her seemed to have dimmed, and all that seemed to be the pair of golden eyes that faintly flowed between the crimson and the crimson in her world seemed to remain.
At this moment, Agnès only felt as if her soul was about to be sucked in by those strange eyes.
Her thoughts quickly stalled, and then ...... As if it had been opened from the outside, he suddenly lost all will to resist, and his eyes gradually lost focus:
"De Willett, my name is Agnès de Willett......"
De Willett?
Charlotte frowned slightly, she didn't find the last name in her memory.
However, in the next second, she felt a fierce will to resist from Agnès's spiritual world.
I saw that a faint light suddenly bloomed on the body of the blood girl, and a vague scythe phantom appeared behind her.
At the same time, Charlotte was surprised to perceive that her control of Agnès had been cut off by something.
Agnès's vacant gaze instantly regained focus.
Her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Charlotte incredulously, and her expression even carried a hint of horror:
"Spiritual Domination! It's spiritual domination! ”
"How can you be spiritually dominated by the Bloodline?! You, you, you...... Are you a Bloodline?! ”
Charlotte frowned, not expecting the other party to break free from her control so quickly.
There seems to be something on the blood girl in front of her that can protect her consciousness, and the level does not seem to be low, without using the power of the blood god, her innate magic has been cracked.
However, when Charlotte looked at Agnès again, she was surprised to find that the other party seemed to become even more depressed.
Charlotte was thoughtful.
It seems that although the other party was able to break free from her control, it was not without a price.
As long as she exerts a few more mental dominations, the girl's mind will be completely manipulated sooner or later.
However, looking at Agnès's languishing appearance, Charlotte dispelled the idea of continuing to exert mental domination.
Psychic domination can dominate the target's spirit, but it also has side effects, so it's okay to cast it once, but if it is used repeatedly, it is very likely to completely destroy the target's mind.
Charlotte hadn't planned to do that yet, it was contrary to her original purpose of interrogating the other party, and considering her next step, she had to keep the Blood Maiden in front of her true self.
Glancing at Agnès's frightened expression, Charlotte's mouth hooked slightly, and she chuckled:
"It seems that you recognize this power."
"If you don't want me to continue to use this power, answer my questions honestly."
Agnès looked a little surprised.
She pursed her lips, still stubbornly silent, even though she knew that she was likely to collapse completely under the constant mental domination.
However, Charlotte noticed that the girl's afterglow swept around with some uneasiness, as if she was looking for something.
Charlotte's heart moved, and she glanced at her lightly:
"Miss Agnès, please don't forget that you are not the only one I am interrogating."
"Maybe you'd rather have your spiritual world destroyed than answer my question, but...... You have a way of resisting the power of spiritual domination, but your knight doesn't. ”
After listening to Charlotte's words, Agnès's expression finally changed:
"You're going to dominate Lahair?!"
Almost immediately, she became anxious and angry:
"Where's Laheil?! What did you do to him?! ”
Seeing the girl who was nervous all of a sudden, Charlotte knew that she had caught the weakness of the other party.
She chuckled and said:
"Your knight is safe now, his injuries are not light, even with the blood healing ability of the blood clan, it is difficult to completely heal in a short period of time, and he is now being treated, so I will interrogate you first."
As she spoke, Charlotte's expression suddenly turned cold:
"But...... If you don't cooperate, then I'll have to go to your knight, maybe he doesn't know as much as you, but it should be enough to answer my basic questions. ”
This time, Agnès was silent.
And Charlotte changed her mind again and regained her smile:
"I think you've already felt it, and I don't have any intention of killing you, at least...... Not at the moment. ”
"You don't have many options in front of you, you can refuse to answer my questions, of course, I will continue to try, maybe I won't get anything from you, but you will definitely collapse under my mental domination."
"And I can still get the answers I want from your knight, and after you collapse, maybe he will continue to be controlled by me, not only will he forget you completely, but he will also be loyal to me as a 'knight' until he dies for me."
Listening to Charlotte's words, Agnès's eyes widened and she looked at Charlotte angrily:
"You dare!"
"Of course I dare."
Charlotte took a sip of black tea and said lightly.
As she spoke, she changed her words again and said with a smile:
"Of course, you have another way."
"You can take the initiative to tell me everything I want to know, and I can guarantee that I won't make a move on your knights, and maybe everything will turn around for you."
"You don't have any other choice."
Agnès looked at Charlotte blankly, her silver teeth clenched, and her expression was angry:
"Devil! You're such a devil! ”
"Thank you for the compliment."
Charlotte smiled slightly, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, which looked innocent like a little devil with two horns on his head.
"So...... What is your answer to my devil's proposal? ”
She smiled.
Agnès was still glaring at Charlotte.
But soon, she was defeated in those red golden eyes, and suddenly she became extremely depressed.
When he was caught in the Achilles heel, no matter how strong a person was, he would fall, and I saw that the girl seemed to be drained of all her strength in an instant, lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and said:
"The one who turned me into a Bloodline was Earl Hall, a fourth-generation Bloodline of Shedet, whom I caught and turned into a Bloodline eighteen years ago."
Good guys, eighteen years ago!
Her real age must be at least thirty or forty years old, right?!
Charlotte's eyes jumped.
The Necronomicon had an intermittent concept of time and limited reference value, and this was the first time she knew exactly when Agnès had become a Bloodline.
But...... Shede.
It seems that the Dark Bloods are not all crazy people who are despised by other Bloodlines like the Blood Demon Order.
"And then? You killed Earl Hall? And disguise his identity with your knights? ”
Charlotte asked.
Agnès glanced at the book spirit behind Charlotte:
"It told you, right? Don't you know everything? Why do you ask me when you know? ”
"Just check with me."
Charlotte took a sip of black tea and continued to ask:
"Where did all that Mithril that Count Hall had collected?"
"Mithril? What Mithril? ”
Agnès looked dazed.
Charlotte frowned.
This guy ...... They have been disguising Count Hall for so long, and they don't even know about the Mithril Mine?
"Don't you know what Earl Hall is doing?"
She asked.
"How do I know? I only know that he and his friendly blood clan seem to be doing something big, but the specifics are not clear, and it has only been two and a half years since I killed him to get free! ”
Agnès shook her head.
Two and a half years?
So, is it still the real Earl Hall who managed the Guixing United Chamber of Commerce in the first place?
Charlotte frowned.
"Wait...... Mithril? Mithril Mine? Castel Mining Workshop?! Is this what the workshop refers to? ”
As if realizing something, Agnès's eyes widened suddenly.
Charlotte: ......
She suddenly felt that the girl in front of her might not know as much as she did......
This is really outrageous, disguised Count Hall has been disguised for two and a half years, and he has not penetrated the enemy's interior?!
The real Earl Hall has been dead for two and a half years, which means that the United Chamber of Commerce has no one to manage it for two years.
However, judging from the investigation of the mining workshop, the plan of the blood clan behind the scenes has not been interrupted for two and a half years, and the business bank continues to operate normally.
Outrageous!
It's been two and a half years since this happened, and the Ness clan hasn't noticed that something is wrong with Earl Hall?
"Two and a half years...... You don't even know what Earl Hall is up to? ”
She couldn't help but complain.
"We have to dare! Every time we have a meeting, the blood clans present are stronger than the other, and we have already worked hard to disguise our identities, how dare we ask what they are doing? ”
Agnès grumbled.
Meeting?
One is stronger than the other?
Charlotte's heart jumped.
"Meeting?"
Charlotte raised her voice.
Agnès pursed her lips, as if she didn't want to say, but looking at Charlotte's deep gaze, she finally said honestly:
"It's a remote meeting with the help of crystal ball projection, and there are a lot of blood clans in attendance, I only know that their accents have an obvious Falling Star Kingdom accent, and they are the blood clan of the Falling Star Kingdom."
"Do you know who they are?"
Charlotte asked.
Agnès thought for a moment and said:
"They rarely mention each other's identities and seem to be quite familiar with each other, but ...... I remember the names of three men, probably the highest of them all, the Earl of Jurst, the Earl of Nottingham, and the Earl of Lachland. ”
Boy! Three Counts?!
Charlotte's heart jumped.
These three names were not unfamiliar to her, as she had seen them in the information provided by Anna, the Witch of Premonition.
Jurst, Nottingham, and Lachlan are the three place names of the Falling Star Kingdom, and they also represent the three Blood Counts of the Ness clan!
Eyeing the Castel Clan, there are actually three Blazing Suns!
And that's not counting Count Hall, who was killed by Agnès!
To be honest, Charlotte is still very curious, how this blood girl who doesn't even have a silver moon killed a blazing sun.
Agnès, on the other hand, recalled, and continued:
"Of the three counts, the highest ranking should be Count Jurst, and he almost always calls a meeting......"
"Oh, by the way, they often mention the 'Lord Duke', who should be the real man behind the scenes, but ...... 'Duke' has never participated in a projection meeting, and every time it is Count Jurst who speaks."
Public...... Duke?!
Charlotte's eyes jumped.
In the society of the blood clan, the only person who can be called a duke is the duke of blood.
And the Duke of Blood corresponds to the fourth order of the transcendent rank - Legendary!
This is already a real high-level member of the blood clan, at least an elder-level existence, and maybe even the patriarch of the clan!
Thinking of this, Charlotte's heart sank slightly.
The infiltration of the Ness clan against Castel this time turned out to be a duke-level blood clan behind the scenes!
"Now...... You know why we have a hard time hiding our identities, right? In this case, we can't wait to be a little transparent, how can we investigate what they are doing! ”
Agnès said weakly.
