"Oh? Inadequate? Can you tell me what kind of support you need from Castel? ”

Count Jurst frowned and asked.

Charlotte paused and said:

"Your Excellency Jurst, in all seriousness, the conditions you have given are enough for me to agree, but alas...... Considering the Fallen Star Bloodline's history in Castel, I have a hard time believing you. ”

"It's true that you're sincere in handing over all the nobles you've worked with to us, but then again, without the intervention of the Ness clan, the relationship between my Castel family and the local nobles would never be as delicate as it is now......"

"As for the so-called 'losing the trust of the nobles of the Northlands' you said, there is no trust between the nobles and the nobles in most cases, and there are only interests, as long as the interests are big enough, there will always be people who take risks, which is not enough to explain anything."

"What you have given is not even enough for Castel to make up for his own losses, and what you have promised is illusory and lacks the foundation of trust between us."

Hearing this, Count Jurst furrowed his brows and said with a smile:

"On this point, Lord Castel don't worry, since we are here, we are naturally here with sincerity, and if you have any doubts, we can sign a contract."

Charlotte shook her head:

"Empty words do not really gain trust, as for the contract...... There can be loopholes in any contract, and what I want to see more than promises is action. ”

"Oh? Lord Castel, I wonder what kind of action you would like to see? ”

Count Jurst asked.

Charlotte paused slightly and said:

"Your Excellency Yurst, thanks to your gift, the current internal situation in the Castel Territory is not stable, and I won't tell you, maybe I think that I, Castre, can't be distracted for the time being, and there have always been some annoying guys around the Northland who are secretly making some small moves recently."

"Although it's just some clowns, it's annoying after all, if you're really sincere, you might as well let me see your strength first."

Count Jurst raised his eyebrows:

"You mean those lords near Castel? You want our Ness clan to deter them? ”

Charlotte smiled:

"Since you plan to subvert the Falling Star Monarchy, you won't be able to even deter a few Crescent Moon Lords, right? As far as I know, you're not the only one in the Crescent that you've arranged for Castel. ”

"If you give up the nobility of Castel and then give up the nobility around Castel, then I can truly believe that you are indeed showing kindness to us."

Jurst looked surprised:

"You know a lot."

Charlotte smiled silently.

Of course, she knew a lot, after all, she had watched a remote meeting of the Ness clan throughout the whole process, and most of the blood clans who participated in the meeting were engaged in underground operations in and around the Crescent Moon Kingdom.

Not only Castel, but many of the surrounding lords and nobles are actually their targets, but Castel seems to be the most important.

After a little thought, Count Jurst nodded decisively:

"No problem, since you want to see sincerity, then we will give sincerity, I can guarantee that in the next period of time, the lords around you should not have the energy to harass Castel anymore."

Well......?

So simply?

Looking at Count Jurst, who had agreed, Charlotte was a little surprised.

As if noticing her expression, Count Jurst smiled:

"Don't be surprised, compared to Castel, our courtship of the surrounding nobles is incidental."

"If I can get your support, even if I give up the support of other Crescent nobles, it's worth it."

"But ......"

As he spoke, Count Jurst's expression gradually became serious, and his scarlet eyes looked deeply at Charlotte:

"I want you to know that we are willing to hand you an olive branch, and we are willing to use the Duchy of Romance as a bargaining chip, not only to show goodwill to Castre, but also to the crown symbolized by the thorn and rose behind you."

Count Jurst deliberately accentuated the phrase "under the crown".

Charlotte gave him a look of surprise, unexpectedly, the Blood Count suddenly jumped the topic to their suspicion of the "Thorn Rose".

No, it can't be called a suspicion anymore.

By all indications, the Ness clan now truly believed in the existence of a god behind Castel with the Thorn Rose as his emblem.

Looking at Charlotte's surprised expression, Count Jurst smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, don't be surprised, our Ness clan knows more information than you think."

"However, you can rest assured that we do not mean to interfere or threaten, rather, we prefer to live in harmony."

"The Duchy of Romance represents not only a large territory, but also millions of potential believers, and I think it is very important for any great being who has recovered, and for us Ness, it is quite a bargain to trade a principality destined to give up in the future for the friendship of a great being."

"And at the same time, deceive a god who has awakened in Miriaa for hundreds of years...... That kind of price is not something our Ness clan is willing to bear. ”

"Although the Holy Court is powerful, its core power is far away in East Yunette, and Castel ...... It's our neighbor! ”

"Your Excellency Castel, you should believe in our sincerity, right?"

"Not only that, but we can also promise that if we can successfully capture the Falling Star Kingdom, our Ness clan is willing to provide some methods and resources that can help the gods recover their divine power as soon as possible!"

Boy?

Ways and resources to restore divine powers?

Charlotte's eyelids were jumping wildly, and she almost didn't hold back.

Well, that's good enough for that.

It is better to say that the blood clan is really worthy of being a force that has existed for thousands of years, and even has the methods and resources to help the gods recover their divine powers......

The other party's words almost directly singled out that they knew that there was a "resurrected god" behind Castel.

Although Charlotte had already known a lot about their family through the remote meeting of the Ness clan, at this moment, the meaning of the other party's direct statement was completely different.

By this time, Charlotte was also aware of another problem.

It turns out that what the Ness clan wants to get is not only the support of Castre, but also the "god behind Castre"!

No, or rather, it's not support, it could be a release of goodwill, or it could be an investment.

Of course, only she knows what the hell the so-called "gods" are.

But what made Charlotte a little puzzled was, how did the Ness clan know that she, the "god behind the back", was in need of a way and resources to restore her divine power?

And...... What the hell is it that has been awakened for hundreds of years?

Looking at the Count of Blood in front of him who made an expression of "Our Ness clan actually knows everything, you don't need to continue to pretend to be a believer in the Holy Court", how did Charlotte think that the other party had misunderstood something.

However, in any case, a principality that complements the northern realm, plus a way to help you regain your divine powers...... Really, Charlotte is completely moved now.

But she knew she had to hold on.

The other party definitely misunderstood something, thinking that she had a hidden god with already quite powerful strength on her side, but only she knew that she was an impostor with a sixty-second plug-in.

And even the plug-in is also legendary, with a mythical personality, but no mythical power, at most it will bully and bully the bloodlines who can suppress the bloodline.

After thinking about it, Charlotte said:

"Your Excellency, your intelligence system has indeed surprised me, but ...... The thoughts of the gods are beyond mortal comprehension, I am only the lord of Castel, and I cannot promise you anything. ”

"But...... I have seen your sincerity, and the rest is to put it into practice. ”

Count Jurst nodded and said with a smile:

"It's enough, you will soon see our sincerity, hope we have a happy cooperation in the future......"

As he spoke, he raised the glass containing the mead.

"I hope so."

Charlotte also smiled slightly, and also raised the goblet containing the milk drink.

The two looked at each other and drank the wine and drink from the glass.

"Oh, yes."

Charlotte put down her cup and suddenly said:

"Now that we've been open and honest, ...... I think there's one more thing I should convey to me. ”

Count Jurst's expression moved slightly:

"Huh? Say, please. ”

Charlotte paused and said:

"Now that you've investigated my background, you should know that I'm not dealing with the Blood Demon Order......"

"The Blood Demon Order? Your Excellency can rest assured that although we are of the same blood, we don't really deal with each other, rather, I have always hated those who do things without a bottom line. ”

Count Jurst said subconsciously.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow:

"Oh? But did you know that you had the shadow of the Blood Demon Order behind your infiltration of my Castel silver mines? ”

"The shadow of the Blood Demon Order?"

Jurst was slightly stunned.

As if thinking of something, his expression gradually became serious, and he asked:

"You...... Are you sure? ”

"Looks like you don't know? I thought Your Excellency had already reached a deep cooperation with the Blood Demon Order! It's just that...... Your relationship doesn't seem to be as good as we thought, at least in the last few days, our people have seen traces of your battle with the Blood Demon Order in northern Castel. ”

Charlotte feigned surprise.

Jurst's expression became more serious.

He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression gradually became a little suspicious, and after a moment, he saluted Charlotte and said:

"Lord Castel, thank you for your information, we will show you Ness's sincerity as soon as possible, and we look forward to the day when we will cooperate with Castel and the crown behind you!"

"I will report the contents of today's negotiations to the Duke as soon as possible, and please wait for my good news......"

With that, Count Jurst left in a hurry.

And looking at the other party's solemn appearance, Charlotte's heart moved:

Seemingly...... Between the Blood Demon Order and the Ness Clan, there seems to be a bit of discord that she doesn't know?
