-127- Allies?!
The father and son of the Earl of Gaston were eventually let go by Charlotte.
Of course, before leaving, they had been transformed into Blood Servants by Charlotte.
Whether they wanted it or not, their life and death were in fact in Charlotte's hands.
As the lowest-level blood servant who Charlotte has diluted the transformation of the bloodline power, the strength related to their blood servant is very weak, and the original supernatural power will also be weakened.
But that's not all bad.
At least...... As reformed blood servants whose blood power is thin and whose original transcendent power is powerful, they are not like those traditional blood servants who rely on gaining blood power to become transcendental, they will be burned or even die at the first sight of the sun, but they will only feel uncomfortable and weak in the sun.
This will make their identity as blood servants even more difficult to discover.
In addition, in order to prevent the two from dying and breaking the net, Charlotte even used the spiritual magic [Mind Manipulation] that she had always avoided using easily, completely disintegrating the two people's sense of resistance to her.
It can be said that, in addition to retaining a sense of self, the father and son of Earl Gaston have become de facto puppets of Charlotte......
This result...... In a sense, it is more terrible than death.
"The host...... Are you planning to start controlling the human nobles through the transformation of blood servants and mental manipulation? ”
Looking at the distant Gaston father and son, Sebas said with some apprehension and curiosity.
Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte could clearly sense the tension hidden in the other party's respect.
She knows why, too.
The "Transformation Blood Servant + Mind Manipulation" method is definitely a bug-like existence.
With this ability, as long as the bloodline power is enough and the soul is strong enough, Charlotte can even transform all the human nobles who are weaker than her.
Even those transcendents who are stronger than her can even rely on the external charm of the Blood Sacred Book to forcibly transform, and rely on the blood divine power to suppress it.
Such a power is too terrifying, and it is too normal to be feared.
In the world of Miria, where there are gods, this practice of forcibly controlling the lives and spirits of intelligent races is also a common practice of "evil gods".
This is not only the subjective determination of the Holy Court as "evil".
It is also recognized as an "evil" in the world of Miria's civilization.
And once this "evil" is made public, it will usher in the siege of the entire civilized world.
In the long course of history, one of the important reasons why the Blood Clan was overthrown is that the Blood Clan often uses similar means to control the transcendents of various races.
The reason why the Bloodline suddenly fell into civil war and declined at the peak of the race is an important reason why the Bloodline gradually lost its power due to its long-term mental manipulation of other races.
Even, even the mysterious disappearance of the True Ancestor of Blood is believed by many historical researchers to be the same reason.
Psychic magic is inherently easy to lose oneself, especially the psychic magic that manipulates others.
Among them, the blood clan is even more famous for its strength and will, which is easy to lose, and finally falls into madness.
This isn't just for the average Bloodline.
The same goes for the myths of the Bloodline.
In addition, many of the ancient gods who have been revived in the long history have also embarked on a similar path, and then gradually lost themselves in the process of power recovery and became crazy "evil gods".
Charlotte heard the apprehension hidden in Sebas's words.
He was probably worried that she would follow a similar path.
Shortcuts have always come with a cost, especially in the realm where the spiritual and the transcendent are intertwined.
This mysterious realm is believed to involve the origins of mythology, and even the gods have not even studied it thoroughly.
"Don't worry, I don't have similar plans, and this time I will only temporarily respond to the enemy by turning them into blood servants."
Charlotte said.
She really didn't have similar thoughts.
In other words, she herself is quite cautious about the power of mental manipulation.
This kind of power is indeed very strong and convenient, but she herself is not sure if she is used to similar powers.
It can only be said that you should exercise self-control as much as possible, but you can't completely abandon it, after all...... This kind of strength is also a natural advantage of the blood clan, so it doesn't have to be in vain.
The key is how to use it, for example, if you want to really gain a group of loyal followers, you shouldn't and can't rely on "mental manipulation" to do it.
After all, even if we don't mention the self-loss that may be caused by the abuse of psychic magic, as long as it is magic, there is the possibility of "cracking", which is nothing more than the difficulty of cracking.
Loyalty that is forcibly obtained through "magic" will eventually die by "magic".
Listening to Charlotte's words, Sebas breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm sorry, master, but I was overthinking."
Soon, his expression returned to lightness, and he praised:
"However, in this way, the crisis in Castel can be resolved smoothly."
"With Count Gaston's father and son as a springboard, we are fully able to uncover the third prince's conspiracy against Castel, and his cooperation with the Blood Demon Order is enough to deal a heavy blow to him, and even drive him out of the Duchy of Boulder in one fell swoop."
"If it gets a little bigger, maybe even his inheritance to the kingdom may be lost!"
"And all this, we can win without a fight......"
"Master, it is worthy of you, a meeting, you have completely grasped the initiative of the war!"
The worry was lifted, and Sebas subconsciously patted his ass again.
However, Charlotte shook her head slightly:
"No, fight...... What should be fought still has to be fought. ”
"Uncovering the conspiracy is just a means of pressure, and it may and may indeed solve Castel's crisis, but it may not work."
"If all the actions of the third prince are tacitly approved by the king, then no matter how much pressure is exerted, it may be suppressed by the Crescent Royal Family......"
"Rather than relying on others, we should rely on ourselves, this war is indeed a crisis for us, but why not an opportunity?"
Listening to Charlotte's words, Sebas's heart moved slightly, and he fell into thought:
"Opportunity......
And at the same time, in the woods outside the town.
The army of the Tulip Earldom, who had been in ambush, also welcomed back its own commander.
"Lord Earl!"
Seeing the returning Earl Gaston father and son, the adjutant of the army hurriedly greeted him.
Count Gaston glanced at the adjutant, and an imperceptible red glow flashed in the depths of the child's hole:
"Give the order to go down, withdraw the troops immediately, return to the garrison, and then ...... Prepare for battle! ”
