"Lord Earl, I beg your pardon for having come to see you today...... In the years since Castel left the territory, the Northlands have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the nobles of the county have long been infiltrated by a mysterious blood force! Even our Leon Castells house is doped with sand! ”

"The minister has been secretly investigating for many years, and it has only recently been determined that this matter may be related to the Leglis family and the blood clan of the Falling Star Kingdom, this is the detailed information from the minister's investigation, please check it."

Viscount Leon-Castel said, handing a parchment roll in both hands.

Charlotte gestured to Sebas, who picked it up and handed it to her, and she skimmed through it and found that it was an investigation report that had been going on for nearly five years.

The report details the suspicious movements of the various families in the last five years, and covers a wide range of nearly one-third of Castel's nobility.

Among them, the most recorded is the Legris family, including how the Leglis family secretly interacted with the blood clan of the Falling Star Kingdom, how to crowd out other families in the mining workshop, how to secretly recruit troops to expand the cavalry team, and how to purchase various strategic materials in the black market...... Charlotte's eyelids jumped wildly at all kinds of data.

"Lord Earl...... I suspect that the Leglis family is colluding with the Bloodlines of the Falling Star Kingdom to subvert Castre! ”

"Lola de Leglis was only promoted to the stars three years ago, but today is the silver moon, and throughout history, such a rapid rate of promotion is not normal......"

"Legend has it that some powerful blood clans can instantly increase the strength of ordinary people to an incredible level through the first embrace, and I seriously doubt that she has secretly become a blood clan!"

"Lord Earl, the strength of the bloodline that is eyeing Castel is probably beyond our imagination, they are extremely well hidden, even now I have not been able to completely find out their true identity, the vassals think that they will never let go of this golden opportunity today, and they are likely to use the audience to attack you!"

"The vassal thinks you should end the audience immediately, ask for help from the Holy Court as soon as possible, and inform the church of what happened to Castel!"

The old viscount said with a serious expression.

Charlotte didn't expect the first noble family to drop such a bombshell.

However, she did not answer immediately.

She put away the old viscount's investigation report, and then quietly used the blood divine power, looking directly at the other party:

"Your Excellency, thank you for the information, it's just ...... I have two questions. ”

"First, how did you find out such detailed information?"

"Second, if the situation is so serious, why didn't you inform me earlier and report it to the church in Boulder?"

The old viscount sighed:

"Lord Earl, this is a long story, and you can dig up the secrets of Leglis and the Bloodline...... It's because I've also pretended to betray Castel......"

"After knowing that the family was infiltrated, I knew that I was also targeted, in order to protect the family and investigate the truth, I had to make this decision, and I was able to usher in the recruitment of the blood clan behind the scenes......"

"These materials were gradually found out after gaining their initial trust."

"I also wanted to report everything to you in advance, to the church, but the first time I sent the news, I was stopped, and the next day I ...... My son was killed just while he was out......"

As he spoke, the old viscount's eyes were slightly red, and his face was bitter:

"I know they're back on me, and they're on my family, they're too powerful, and I don't dare to be impulsive anymore without being sure......"

Listening to the old viscount's words, Charlotte sighed slightly:

"Mourning ......"

But soon, she asked again:

"So now...... Why did you tell me everything so decisively? ”

"Because you are a saint of the Holy Court! You are the darling of Lord Harald! ”

The old viscount said excitedly.

"Even if those bloods want to subvert Castre, they will never dare to take the initiative to attack you! for it will arouse the wrath of our lord. ”

"According to the vassals, they will choose to override you and control you, but they will never kill you, and that's why they ...... I suggest you cancel your next audience to prevent the Bloodline's conspiracy! ”

Listening to the old viscount's words, Charlotte looked surprised.

She bowed her head slightly and said:

"I see, Your Excellency the Viscount, thank you for the information."

"However, please forgive me for not canceling the visit, after all...... As a lord, I can't just listen to your family. ”

As she spoke, Charlotte changed her words again:

"Of course, I've always believed in the loyalty of Leon Castel, the warning, and I'll pay attention."

Listening to Charlotte's words, the old viscount showed a helpless expression that was really so, he sighed, and said:

"Your wishes, your vassals know...... However, since you insist on the audience event, please do a good job of spiritual protection, the spirit magic of the blood clan cannot be prevented, it is too terrifying! ”

As he spoke, the old viscount trembled and took out a scroll from his bosom and presented it with both hands:

"Lord Earl, this is a magic scroll of spiritual protection that I have prepared, I am now dedicated to you, please bring it for self-defense, may the light of the god always protect you."

As he spoke, the old viscount reverently drew a ring cross on his chest.

Charlotte gave the other a surprised look and motioned for Ness to put the scroll away.

"Your Excellency, thank you again for your information."

Charlotte said sincerely.

Viscount Leon-Castel retired after presenting the scroll.

Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Sebas had a strange expression:

"This is Viscount Lien...... It's like a devout believer......"

Charlotte was noncommittal.

According to the manor sources, Viscount Lean-Castell was indeed a devout believer in the Holy Faith.

She glanced at Ness, who suddenly understood, looked through the scrolls, and said:

"It's a second-order spiritual barrier, a very good spiritual defense type magic, even if it encounters a third-order spiritual impact, it can fight for a few seconds of reaction time."

"Hey, this Viscount Lien has made a lot of money, this kind of spiritual protection magic scroll is not common, and it is barely precious."

Listening to Nice's words, Charlotte bowed slightly.

She had just used the power of the blood god to check, and there was no trace of the old viscount's body being controlled by the blood clan.

But to be honest, Charlotte wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Next...... It's the Legliss family, right? ”

Glancing at the nobles outside the veil, Charlotte asked.

"Yes, master."

Sebas replied respectfully.

Charlotte chuckled:

"Let her in."

……

"Lord Earl!"

Lola, the baroness of the House of Legres, entered the curtain and saluted Charlotte respectfully.

Charlotte looked curiously at the noblewoman who had just been reported by Viscount Liene, and used the divine power of blood again in her consciousness.

A faint glow swirled through her pupils, and Charlotte intended to probe the other's mental state.

However, before she could act, the baroness suddenly reached out and removed the hairpin from her hair.

In an instant, a blood-colored glow bloomed on her, and a familiar aura suddenly poured into Charlotte's perception.

"Bloodline!"

Sebas's expression changed slightly.

He subconsciously blocked in front of Charlotte, but Lola did not attack, but bowed down to Charlotte:

"Lord Charlotte! I'm going to report it to you! The Lean-Castel family colludes with foreign enemies to subvert Castel! ”

Listening to Lola's words, Charlotte looked strange.

She looked deeply at the other and said:

"Shouldn't you tell me what happened to you before you report it?"

Lola was silent for a few seconds and sighed:

"As you can see, Lord Earl, I am no longer human."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I became a Bloodline, and this ...... Exactly the evidence of the Lean Castel family! ”

As she spoke, a flash of light flashed in Lola's hand, and a stack of parchment rolls appeared.

She respectfully presented it, and Sebas stepped forward to take it and present it to Charlotte again.

Charlotte flipped through the parchment scroll, and the more she looked, the more strange her expression became:

"You mean to say that Leon Castel used the power of the Falling Star Kingdom's bloodlines to infiltrate various noble families, secretly recruiting troops and training armies, with the intention of rebelling?"

"Not only that, but they also infiltrated the Mining Workshop and the Legliss family, and even tried to kill you?"

Lola nodded, gritted her teeth, and said:

"That's right! It's a pity that I'm lucky, I awakened the power of the dragon at the critical moment, and I will also attack my blood clan to fight back, and seize the power of the other party! ”

Charlotte's expression became even more eccentric.

She glanced at the information on the parchment scroll and said:

"But I've heard...... It was the Leglis family who controlled the vast majority of the stewards of the Castel mining workshop. ”

"Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy against us Leglis! The Mining Workshop has long been out of control, and the Ryan family is using the income of the Workshop to expand their army, and I tried to use the family's influence in the Workshop to sabotage their plans, but they bite back! ”

Lola said angrily.

As she spoke, her expression gradually became solemn:

"Lord Earl, the Leon-Castel family is not only secretly recruiting troops, but also using their huge network to spread rumors among various territories, proclaiming that you are the holy daughter of the Holy Court, and preaching the belief that your arrival will unify the territory, with the intention of stirring up conflicts between the Castel family and the people!"

Charlotte's heart moved:

"So, you don't think I'm a saint of the Holy Court?"

Lola nodded:

"Our Leglis family had a church saint in our ancestors a thousand years ago, and we know some secrets......

"If you were really a saint, the clerical kingdom would have received an oracle from the god lord and canonized you."

Charlotte gave Lola a special look.

It was the first time she had heard of it.

"Lord Earl! Castel is now surging with an undercurrent, and it is very dangerous! Our House of Leglis is ready for war, ready to fight to protect Castel at any moment! ”

"The forces of the blood clan in Lien-Castel and their collusion are huge, and the North Harbor is not safe now, please consider going north for the time being, and move to the Legris Territory, the Legris family has expanded the cavalry corps, and the family will definitely protect your safety to the death!"

Lola knelt on one knee and said with a sincere expression.

Charlotte was noncommittal.

She gently handed the document to Sebas, then smiled:

"Lord Lola, Leglis, the first knightly family to follow my Castel, has always been loyal, and I believe in your loyalty to the family."

"It's just that such important information, why don't you tell me in advance and report it to the church?"

Lola was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Because I'm not sure if you're already under the control of the Lean Castels, after all...... The people who went to pick you up were the ones from their family. ”

"As for the church...... Not credible! ”

Lola shook her head.

……

Lola resigned after complaining about Ryan Castel's machinations and strongly expressing her desire for Charlotte to prepare for the war.

Charlotte, Sebas, and Nice looked at each other with inexplicable expressions.

Sebas held back for a long time before he could hold back a sentence:

"Master, your territory...... It seems to be more lively than we thought. ”

Charlotte also had some headaches.

To be honest, she never expected that the first two territorial nobles she met would report each other, as if they were playing werewolf killing.

"Next...... It's the Roman-Fore family. ”

Charlotte said, glancing behind the curtain.

"Yes."

Sebas replied.

Charlotte nodded:

"Let him in."

Unlike the previous two, the person who came in to meet the Roman-Foer family was not the viscount of the head of the house, but a middle-aged man with a rough appearance.

"You are His Excellency Vincent, the eldest son of His Excellency Viscount Francis, right? What about the Viscount others? ”

"Back to the Earl, my father is old and suddenly feeling unwell, so I have to leave the scene temporarily, and I will come to meet him instead of him."

Vincent said in a deep voice.

Charlotte looked at him deeply and bowed slightly:

"I see."

After saying that, Vincent rummaged through it and took out a roll of parchment from his bosom:

"Lord Earl......"

"We in the Roman-Fort family have important information to report to you...... We have discovered that several chambers of commerce and workshop owners in the territory are in contact with the bloodlines of the Falling Star Kingdom with the intention of doing you wrong......"

"Among them, there are even some big family members in the territory."

Charlotte: ......

"Bring it."

She gestured.

Vincent handed the parchment roll to Sebas, who in turn handed it to Charlotte again.

Charlotte opened it and quickly browsed, her expression becoming more and more weird.

Almost all of the families recorded in this document are the upstarts of Castel, in addition to the surnames of Ryan Castel and Leglis.

Charlotte remained silent, slowly put away the parchment roll, and said:

"I know about this, thanks to Romain Fore for the information."

After saying that, the atmosphere froze.

This son of Viscount Romain-Faure did not seem to be good at talking, and when he reported it, he stood there like a cold stone.

Charlotte chatted casually and awkwardly, and after finding that she couldn't talk, she had to let the other party back down.

The representative of the Roman-Fore family left, and the atmosphere inside the curtain became more subtle.

Charlotte looked at Sebas and Nice with an inexplicable expression.

Yes, the two viscount families reported each other, and as for the third...... even directly reported half of Castel plus the first two families.

"Next...... It's Baron Lanzer, the leader of the upstart faction, right? ”

Charlotte asked.

"Yes."

"Let him in."

……

"Lord Earl!"

The fourth interviewer, Baron Lanzer, representing the upstart faction of Castel, entered the curtain and bowed respectfully to Charlotte.

Then, without waiting for Charlotte to say anything, he pulled out a roll of parchment from his bosom.

Charlotte's eyes jumped:

"Lord Lan Ze, don't you want to report something to me too?"

Baron Lanzer was stunned:

"How do you know?"

Charlotte: ......

"Tell me, who are you going to report?"

She rubbed her temples.

Baron Lanzer's expression was solemn:

"Lord Earl, I want to report the Roman-Fort family!"

"They colluded with the chambers of commerce and nobles of the Falling Star Kingdom, secretly resold Mithril and arms, extorted merchant ships in the territory, and secretly annexed various underground organizations in the county, intending to plot against them!"

Charlotte: ......

Damn, she feels like her own territory is like a mahjong table.

Update a little earlier today, and ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month
