"Lord Charlotte, I'...... I'm afraid I can't drink it and become your volume. ”

Shirley knelt on one knee and held up the red vial of blood, with a deep apology on her pretty face, which had rarely changed her expression all along.

Charlotte was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the personal maid who had followed her for more than a year would finally make such a choice.

She thinks she knows Shirley very well.

He is meticulous and conscientious in his work, and he is also quite talented in magic and swordsmanship.

Even if she has been busy with the work of a maid for a year, she has not delayed the improvement of her strength, and with the support of Charlotte's resources, she has become the second advanced person among the young followers after Rand to step into the stars.

Although she is always silent and expressionless, Charlotte knows that she is not cold in her heart.

Not only that, but she is also a grateful person, and after Charlotte saved her family's life on the night of the Inquisition's attack on the Rose Society, Shirley completely surrendered to Charlotte, and it can even be called a dead heart.

Although for a year, her presence around Charlotte has not been as strong as Sebas's, and even Nice's fat cat can't compare, but she has quietly integrated into Charlotte's life.

Charlotte's three meals and drinks a day, Charlotte's daily living arrangements and daily clothing choices, almost all of them are taken care of by her, and she does a very good job and serves very thoughtfully.

If it weren't for that, Charlotte wouldn't have taken her with her when she went to explore the silver mines of Castelle that day.

"I respect your choice, but ...... Can you tell me why? ”

Charlotte asked gently.

Shirley hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Lord Charlotte, does drinking the blood of your genus mean that I will also become a Bloodline?"

Charlotte was stunned and nodded slightly:

"That's true for you."

Today, Charlotte has a deeper understanding of the abilities of her Blood Scroll.

The essence of the Blood Scroll is the power of the bloodline, and becoming her Blood Scroll also means having the power of her bloodline, and having the power of the bloodline naturally means the transformation of the body's bloodline.

This is the case with Sebas.

When he unleashed the power of the bloodline, he would have become almost identical to the Bloodline, if he hadn't been an elf who was also a magical creature, and he had been a Blazing Sun, he would have become a Bloodline altogether.

And even so, every time Sebas casts the power of the Blood Scroll, his body will further transform into the Bloodline.

Even if he still retains the identity of an elf, as Charlotte's strength increases, and with the blood in Sebas's body becoming a little stronger, he is afraid that sooner or later he will become a blood clan.

This was told to Charlotte by Sebas after a long observation of his body, and it also overturned Charlotte's belief that the Blood Scroll could not be a blood family.

The bloodline power of the blood clan is even more domineering than Charlotte imagined, let alone hers.

As for Shirley......

She's just a human, not a magical creature, and she's not strong in her own right, and if she gains Charlotte's power of the Scroll, becoming a Bloodline is almost a sure thing.

"Charlotte-sama ......"

Shirley bowed deeply to Charlotte and said:

"I heard that after becoming a blood clan, it will be difficult to further rely on your own strength to improve your strength, and the way of magic will also be cut off, and you can't go any further......"

"I ...... I don't want to give up my talent for magic. ”

Charlotte gave her a deliberate look and said:

"Maybe that's true, but again, when you become a Bloodline, you gain new powers."

Shirley lowered her head:

"But that power is the power you have given me, not the power I have gained through my own efforts."

"I want to be able to follow you and stand behind you through my own efforts, instead of having to rely on you to keep going......"

Listening to Shirley's words, Charlotte bowed slightly, indicating understanding.

Indeed, even she felt sorry for not being able to become a magician, let alone Shirley, who was already an advanced spellcaster.

Shirley's magical talent is good, and she has even been certified by Ness, so it is indeed a dilemma for her to become a Bloodline and continue to work the path of magic.

"But have you ever thought that once you become a Bloodline, you will say goodbye to aging and have an almost infinite lifespan and time?"

Charlotte asked again.

Shirley replied respectfully:

"I did think about it......"

"It's tempting to have a long lifespan, but I'm afraid I can't accept that after having a long lifespan, I can watch my loved ones and friends grow old over time and end up being left ...... myself."

Hearing this answer, Charlotte was slightly stunned.

To be honest, she was quite happy to know that she had lost the shackles of lifespan when she became a Bloodliner.

In the previous life, those immortal cultivators struggled for hundreds of years and thousands of years, in order to achieve immortality.

And she realized it not long after she crossed over.

Although it is a flawed eternal life, she has always felt that the future is full of brightness with the Blood Sacred Codex, and she believes that as long as she is given enough time, it should not be a problem to become a god.

She'd never had such an idea of Shirley.

However, looking at the girl in front of her, she quickly realized the difference between herself and the other party.

She is a time-traveler, everything she has left in the world of her previous life, and she doesn't have much to worry about.

But Shirley is different.

Her relatives, her friends, all here.

Charlotte pondered, and Shirley continued:

"Besides, I am your head maid and your personal maid."

"In my job, most of the time is spent dealing with ordinary people, walking in the sun......"

"Maybe you haven't thought much about it, becoming a Bloodline...... It also means that I will not be able to walk in the sun, which means that I will not be able to perform my job. ”

Listening to Shirley's words, Charlotte was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't really thought about it from that perspective.

She had always felt that the maid she served by her would be safer and more convenient if she was a blood clan, but as a person being served, she couldn't fully see the work of the maid, so she ignored this detail.

She is a Blood, but the status of Earl Castel determines that she will inevitably need to deal with ordinary people, and in this case, it seems that the pure Bloods are not actually suitable to be the head maid by her side.

"Charlotte, I'm sorry I can't meet your expectations......"

"Still, believe in my loyalty to you, and my life when you saved my parents and sister that night...... It's yours. ”

Shirley knelt down respectfully and said in a sincere voice.

The maid, who had always been reticent, had more to say today than in the past two months combined.

Charlotte was silent.

"Have you figured it out? Life is too short, even if you go far on the road of magic in the future, a hundred years from now it will only be a drop of loess. ”

Install the latest version. 】

Charlotte glanced at the girl and said.

Shirley nodded:

"I've thought about it."

"Well, then I understand."

Charlotte nodded slightly, no longer reluctantly.

Shirley expressed her heart and left.

Charlotte looked at the porcelain vase returned by the other party in her hand and sighed secretly.

Everyone has their own choice, and she respects and understands Shirley's choice.

Of course, although she understood, she was still a little disappointed in her heart, even if she understood that Shirley was right, a blood clan was not suitable for the job of a maid leader at the moment.

In addition, Shirley's words touched some other thoughts in her heart.

Yes, eternal life.

Charlotte hasn't been in this world for a long time, and she doesn't have as many old friends and deep bonds as Shirley.

I have to say that after chatting with Shirley, she suddenly felt a little homesick.

"What are you thinking about, the foothold has not been completely established, and there is not much value in considering those problems that are too long, now what you have to do is to integrate the territory, create a safe back garden, and then develop power and faith, and explore the way to become stronger and become a god!"

Charlotte shook her head and said to herself.

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte picked herself up again, flipped through the official files on her desk, and browsed the list of recommendations submitted by the city councillors for the next mayor of Northport.

And at this time, her heart suddenly moved slightly, and she heard a familiar call from afar.

It was none other than Sebas, who had gone to the Earl of Lachlan's hideout with the Castell's guards a few days earlier.
