The Nice Clan's underground garrison in Northport, in a tavern outside the island.

Count Ulliste sat quietly at the bar, sipping the mead from the island of Luna.

Beside him, several other Nessians from the Kingdom of the Falling Stars, who were also members of the Mission, armed with weapons, looked warily at the guards surrounding them.

The tavern was in shambles, radiating into a chaotic area around the Ness Mission, apparently a battle had just taken place, but there was no blood left.

Farther away, the heavily armed Castel guards, led by the Transcendent Knights, sealed off the inside and outside of the tavern with three floors inside and out, and even the entire neighborhood was completely cordoned off.

Inside and outside the tavern, a needle drop could be heard, and all the guards clenched their swords, staring solemnly and vigilantly at the blood clan in the center.

"Don't be so nervous, we're here with good intentions, and we don't really want to clash with the guys of Castel."

Count Jurst glanced at the mortal soldiers around him who were much more nervous than his own blood, and said as gently as he could.

He's really been as gentle as he can.

The Bloodlines have always been arrogant, even Ness.

Their contempt for mortals was even greater than that of elves, and it was truly a miracle for traditional bloodlines to be able to sit here and calmly converse with these ordinary soldiers whose average strength was not even extraordinary.

Of course, no matter how gentle and friendly his attitude was, as a representative of the Ness clan, a Blood Count whose strength reached the Blazing Sun, he could not really let mortals arrest them.

It's about the face and dignity of the Ness clan.

It was in such a situation that such a solemn confrontation was formed.

However, Jurst was careful and did not hurt any of the Castel soldiers who tried to capture them.

Only the tavernkeeper looked at the devastated tavern and wondered how much Quintana it would cost to fix the tavern after this incident.

However, he also quickly reacted that after today, the tavern will not be there, and it may be unknown whether he will stay in the Northland.

Thinking about the cost of repairing the tavern now, it makes no sense at all.

The atmosphere in the tavern was depressing and solemn, and everyone was quite nervous except for the powerful Earl Jurst.

Especially as time went on, more and more guards and transcendents were mobilized on the Castel side, and the Ness bloodlines looked at their own earls more and more frequently.

And gradually, when the city guards used the coast of North Harbor for shore defense, the giant magic crystal cannons that the legendary mages had enchanted were all pulled over one by one, even Count Yurst couldn't sit still.

He put down the cup that he had drunk for some time, and the corner of his eyes twitched and glanced at the big killer that easily tore apart the vanguard fleet of the Falling Star Kingdom in the Star-Moon War, cleared his throat, and said a little unnaturally:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have no ill intentions, we have only come to speak to His Excellency Earl Castel on behalf of the Ness Clan."

The Castel guards looked at each other, and finally a transcendent knight dressed as a squad leader stepped forward and said vigilantly and cautiously:

"The captain has already gone to the Earl's Palace to make a report, and you are not allowed to act rashly until the Earl has delivered the order!"

Don't be reckless?

Don't move any further, do you want to transfer all the magic crystal cannons in Beigang!

Jurst scolded secretly, helpless in his heart.

Although he was a blazing sun, it would be difficult for these heavy magic crystal cannons to kill him face-to-face, but it was different for other bloodlines.

And even if it is him, at such a close distance, with so many magic crystal cannons, he has to be injured if he doesn't die.

Outrageous!

Are the humans of the Crescent Kingdom so hostile to the Bloodline?

It's all a good thing that Shede's group of lunatics provoked!

Jurst scolded the fellow Blooddemon Order's compatriots in his heart, forgetting for a moment that Castel's enmity with the Blood Clan actually began with their own infiltration and Count Castel's orders.

And just as Count Jurst pondered whether he should quietly tear a teleportation scroll first and retreat with the members of the mission, a series of hurried horses' hooves were heard outside the tavern.

Count Jurster's heart moved, and he looked outside, only to see a dusty herald jump off his horse, panting and running towards the extraordinary knight who commanded the Castell's guard:

"Captain Chatham! Captain Chatham! The Earl has an order! Take the Ness's Emissary to the Earl's Court to see you! ”

As he spoke, the herald took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and offered it with both hands.

The Transcendent Knight took the parchment, looked at the command on it and the very personal "wild" signature at the end, and nodded slightly:

"It is indeed a warrant from Lord Earl."

After speaking, he motioned for the soldier to put down his weapon for the time being, bowed slightly to Yurst, and said:

"Descendant from the Falling Star, Lord Earl has an order and is willing to meet you."

With that, he motioned to the guards to get out of the way.

Yurst breathed a sigh of relief and held back the teleportation scroll that he had almost taken out.

He gave the other Bloodlines a look, then took the lead and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

"Wait, although the Earl is willing to meet with you, but ...... I saw only one person in charge. ”

Captain Chatham stopped the other descendants who wanted to follow Earl Jurst.

The Bloodlines glared at him, and Count Jurst frowned and said to the other Bloodlines of the Mission:

"You wait here, I'll go alone."

It was them, not Castel, who wanted to talk to them, and although Castel was tough, who would let them be the ones who wanted it.

Surrounded by guards, Count Jurst boarded the carriage to the Earl's Palace.

There were also a large number of guards around the Earl's Palace, and when Jurst stepped down from the carriage, he saw a knight in armor who was even more elite than the city guards.

Amidst the layers of guards, he finally entered the Count's Mansion in Castel.

It has to be said that the Castel family is indeed rich and profound.

Even with the discerning eye of Earl Jurst who has been raised for thousands of years, the architecture and decoration of Earl Court of Northland are definitely low-key and luxurious.

Even the attendants and male servants in the earl's palace were well-trained one by one, and the standard of etiquette was no worse than that of his blood servants.

Jurst subconsciously felt that his temporary residence was much shabby compared to the country castle where he lived now.

His former castle was good, but after the defeat of the Lilac War, it was confiscated by the Romanes.

Thinking of this, Yurst sighed secretly.

The Ness clan has been around for thousands of years, and most of it has been exhausted by a lilac war.

If you can't regain your sphere of influence by relying on the plan to return to the stars, countless bad days are probably still to come.

Following the attendants and guards, Count Jurst arrived at the parlor of the Earl's Palace.

"Your Excellency Count Jurst, please stay here later, Lord Count will be here in a moment."

The waiter said respectfully.

Jurst nodded lightly and sat down gracefully in the living room.

As soon as he sat down, a beautiful young maid came in with a tray full of wine and poured him wine for the guests.

However, after pouring the wine, the maid did not leave, but looked at him curiously, and could not help asking:

"You're Count Jurst of the Ness Clan?"

Well?

Count Jurst paused slightly as he picked up his glass.

He subconsciously looked at the maid, but was quickly stunned because he felt a familiar aura from the other party.

That's the breath of the Bloodborn!

Counterpart...... It's a Bloodline!

Not only that, but the affinity that the other party brought to him is very strong, which shows that the other party is likely to be a pure bloodline, at least five generations, or even four generations!

What's going on?

Isn't the Earl of Castel purging the bloodlines of his realm?

How could there be a blood clan swaggering as a maid in her mansion?

"You know me? Which clan are you descended from? What is your name? ”

Count Jurst asked quietly.

The young maid seemed a little excited, and she opened her mouth, and was about to say something, when a light cough came from the door:

"Ahem, miss, Lord Earl is coming soon."

Miss?

Yurst's heart moved slightly.

He looked towards the door, and saw a knight of the guard from Castel who spoke.

It's just that when he felt the breath on the knight's body, he was also stunned.

Without him, because the other party is also a blood clan!

Although the aura is not as pure as that of a maid, it is likely that she is also a fifth-generation bloodline!

What the heck?

Are the bloodlines now free to serve as squires in the Count's Court in Castel?

Wasn't the little count of Castel hostile to the Bloods because of his grandmother?

And...... They still seem to know me?

Count Jurst was puzzled.

One thing, though, seemed certain to him.

That is, the Earl of Castel does not seem to have a great hatred for the Bloodline because of his personal experience, as those of the lower Bloodlines investigated.

This made a glimmer of hope suddenly rise in his heart, could it be...... Is it really possible for the Ness clan to negotiate successfully with the lord of the Northlands?

"Agnès, what are you doing here?"

A crisp and beautiful female voice came from the door, which immediately attracted the attention of Count Jurst.

He looked over and saw a petite but beautiful aristocratic lady appear at the door, followed by a respectful maid and knight.

It was really a very beautiful young lady, and even with Yurst's two thousand years of experience, the other party's appearance was definitely among the best among the many women he had seen, including those with haughty personalities.

The supple blonde hair hangs down naturally, the pure blue eyes are like magnificent gems, and the delicate facial features and fair skin are like jade carvings.

Charlotte de Castre!

Yurst realized the identity of the other party almost instantly, and I am afraid that only the most beautiful girl in the rumored Crescent Moon Kingdom has such a look.

It is...... He looked younger than he had imagined, not like a sixteen-year-old girl, but more like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

Seeing the girl who appeared at the door, the maid shrunk her neck weakly.

She hurriedly walked away from Jurst and stammered:

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... I...... I'm just a little curious......"

"Curious? What are the weeds in the yard except? ”

The girl looked at her with a smirk.

The maid suddenly became even more nervous:

"Except! I'll get rid of it! I'm very efficient! ”

With that, she ran out in a panic.

Looking at the disappearing back of the Blood Maid, Count Jurst's heart moved slightly.

The Bloodline just now...... Seems to be very afraid of the young earl?

No...... There seemed to be more than just fear in that look, as if there was something else to it.

If you really want to say it, it's more like awe?

Jurst couldn't help but look at the girl.

There should be something on the girl's body that can cover her breath, and he can't sense the other party's power at the first time.

However, judging from the preliminary investigation, the count of Castell should also be just a starry first-order transcendent.

Jurst looked at the girl, and the girl looked at him.

"Your Excellency is Count Jurst from Ness?"

She asked softly.

Jurst retracted his gaze and stood up to salute:

"It is here that my name is Yurst Ness, and I am the representative of the Ness Clan's mission."

The girl nodded:

"I'm Charlotte of Castel."

With that, she said to the maid and the knight behind her:

"Go down first."

The knights hesitated, then bowed respectfully.

The maiden entered the drawing room gracefully and sat down across from Count Jurst.

Looking at the other party's calm attitude, Yulst's heart moved slightly.

As a Blood Earl, most of the human nobles he had ever seen would be afraid of him, not only because of the difference in status, but also because of the difference in strength.

However, the girl in front of her was so calm, not only that, but she even dared to meet him alone, which showed that the other party was not afraid of his power.

Combined with what happened to the Earl of Lachlan and the attitude of the Duke of Yoroc, he became more and more convinced that the lord of Castel in front of him must have a master by his side to protect him!

At this thought, Jurst became vigilant, he didn't feel any other breath, if there was really a master, his strength could only be much higher than him!

Be...... The Divine Scroller of the Mystic Gods?

Or is it simply the mysterious deity?

Taking a deep breath, Count Jurst put away the increasingly outrageous thoughts in his heart, took out a scroll from his bosom, held it in both hands, and placed it in front of Charlotte:

"Your Excellency the Count of Castel, I have come this time to reconcile with Castel on behalf of the Ness clan."

Charlotte glanced at the scroll on the table, and instead of opening it directly, she chuckled and said:

"Reconciliation? Your Excellency, the Ness Clan has seriously damaged my Castel interests over the years, if you really want to reconcile, shouldn't you give me an explanation first? ”

Count Jurst nodded slightly and said:

"You're right, but we did come in good faith, and this scroll contains a record of all the Northland nobles who have cooperated with our Ness clan over the years, this ...... It is one of our sincerity. ”

"I want to ...... With it, you should understand that we are truly determined to reconcile, because it means that we will completely lose the trust of all the nobles of the Northlands. ”

"Not only that, but we will also offer some precious texts and extraordinary knowledge as compensation to compensate for the adverse effects that have been done to Castel over the years."

Listening to Count Jurst's words, Charlotte was a little surprised.

She glanced at the other party thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled:

"Your Excellency Count Jurst, you should have come to the North Harbor not just for reconciliation, right?"

Count Jurst nodded:

"Of course, in addition to reconciliation, I also came to cooperate on behalf of the Ness clan this time."

"Cooperation? Could it be ...... Are you trying to convince me to support the Ness Clan in regaining authority in the Kingdom of Falling Stars in the future? ”

Charlotte laughed.

Jurst looked surprised, then nodded, and sighed:

"Your intelligence is faster than I thought, yes, we do want to work together on this."

Charlotte shook her head:

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in participating in a power struggle in the Falling Star Kingdom."

"Lord Castel, you ...... Why don't you hear about our chips first? ”

Count Jurst said.

"Oh? Chip? ”

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

Count Jurst nodded, and said meaningfully:

"Lord Castel......"

"I wonder if you have any thoughts on acquiring a duke title and a large territory as rich as Castel?"
