-30- Charlotte's Promise
Looking at Sebas's exaggerated expression mixed with a little complexity and alertness, Charlotte knew that this guy was crooked again.
When she first accepted Jurst as the new Blood Scroll, the other party had a similar expression, which presumably thought that she had incorporated the Dark Apostle into the Scroll.
Thinking of this, Charlotte was a little speechless. Sebas is good at everything, attentive and capable, which saves her a lot of energy, not to mention, but also serves her very satisfactorily, and works perfectly with the maid Shirley.
It's just that this character is too protective of food, really like a big dog, and any other existence that approaches her will cause him to be alert, as if he is afraid of robbing his position.
However, Charlotte did not hate this reaction. Valuing one's place in her heart is actually a representation of loyalty.
Of course, Sebas's initial choice to follow her was also motivated by his own ambitions. The other party has never concealed this, and he has said it openly and honestly when he is loyal.
It's just that a master and a servant have been together for nearly two years and have experienced a lot together, and their relationship has long been more than the beginning
"Deal" up. By the time Charlotte rescued him from the Grand Knight of the Boulder Inquisition, and when the two parties signed the Pact of Blood, Sebas had become Charlotte's follower in the true sense of the word, not just a careerist who wanted to hitchhike for his own eagerness.
After thinking about it, Charlotte still explained one more sentence: "Albrecht was forced by me to become a blood servant, not a scroll, he will be used as a pawn for us to infiltrate the Blood Demon Order." ”
"The Blood Demon Order is already aware of my existence, even if it is not clear about my identity, but after all, it is a hidden danger, since we plan to develop in the new moon, we must deal with this organization as soon as possible......"
"For a stealthy organization like the Blood Demon Order, it is easier to infiltrate from the inside than to attack from the outside, which is why I chose Albrecht." As she spoke, she glanced at Sebas, "Just like Jurst is to the Ness Clan, I won't keep Albrecht around, and you don't have to worry about him stealing your position." ”
"I am very satisfied with your service, and the job of a housekeeper seems to me to be the only one you can do, so ...... Don't think about it. Listening to Charlotte's words, Sebas was stunned for a moment, his expression was scornful, and he looked uncomfortable when he saw through his mind.
He coughed dryly and said embarrassedly: "Master, you misunderstood, to be able to see that your followers are increasing, Sebas is also very happy, how can you be cranky?" ”
"Oh, is it? I thought you were worried that you were stealing the limelight. Charlotte looked at him with a smirk.
Staring at Charlotte's crimson eyes as bright as the starry sky, Sebas was even more uncomfortable. He sighed and said, "Well, great master, in fact, Sebas is a little uncomfortable and a little worried......"
However, Sebas assures you that this is not aimed at you, but ...... Against Sebas himself. Saying that, the flame elf was slightly lost, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Master, your strength has recovered faster than Sebas imagined, in less than two years, you have been able to fight against several church legends, and you can also collect the legendary bloodline." ”
But Sebas ...... But it's still just a silver moon. ”
"Sebas is really worried, worried about losing his value in your heart, losing his status, worried that his strength can't keep up with your pace......" Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte was a little surprised.
She didn't expect the other party to think like this. She looked at Sebas again, and Sebas leaned over slightly, bowing his head in some shame.
Through the blood contract with the other party in the dark, Charlotte seems to be able to feel the anxiety and uneasiness in the other party's heart, as well as the confusion about the future.
Charlotte knows what that confusion is. That's a lack of confidence in yourself. Sebas used to be a blazing sun, but he fell down the rank due to a serious injury, and there is no possibility of recovery.
Although she has become her subordinate and has the possibility of recovering her strength, that possibility is not something that can be achieved in a while.
After becoming a Blood Scroll, Sebas was very excited for a while, and insisted on exercising every day, hoping to recover to the strength of the Blazing Sun level as soon as possible.
Charlotte also knew these things, and she saw Sebas go to the ashram alone to train after a busy day after nightfall.
His strength has indeed improved, but it is still not enough compared to a complete recovery. Maybe give him more time, and he will be able to regain his strength sooner or later, but compared to the speed at which Charlotte has improved, compared to the new ones that Charlotte has incorporated again and again
The strength of the "follower", his strength is becoming less and less visible. So...... He inevitably developed anxiety and even self-doubt.
This is understandable. You know, when Charlotte first met each other, the other party's strong strength can be called her hole card.
But now, not to mention the liberation of the True Ancestor, even if Charlotte compares to the other party with the actual strength of her own body, Sebas is afraid that she is no longer her own opponent.
Sebas is the pinnacle of the Silver Moon. Charlotte has already reached the peak of the Silver Moon with the Fusion God Statue, and also has more powerful resistance and resistance because of her special physique.
The difference in strength between the two sides has long been reversed, and not only that, it will continue to increase in the future, and Charlotte's followers in the future can only get stronger and stronger.
In this way, I am afraid that everyone will be anxious. After carefully perceiving Sebas's strength, Charlotte sighed slightly.
She wanted to pat the other party's shoulder to comfort her, but after looking at the height difference between the two sides, she estimated that she would be able to reach the other party's shoulder by standing on tiptoe, and gave up this idea of self-inflicted humiliation.
"Don't be presumptuous, you've done a good job, as for strength...... When the time comes, I will personally help you recover, even if it is a step further, it is not impossible. Charlotte said.
Sebas was stunned, looking a little stunned. Looking at his embarrassed expression, Charlotte looked disgusted: "Okay, raise your head, I said a long time ago that meritorious people will naturally get the rewards they deserve, and I see your efforts." ”
"What I value more than strength is loyalty, and the disloyal will never really come into my sight, and you are already my approved subordinate." Listening to Charlotte's seemingly impatient but actually comforting words, Sebas's heart trembled, and his face was moved: "Master......" Looking at his appearance that was about to be moved to tears, Charlotte twitched the corners of her mouth and said: "Okay, they are all elves who have lived for hundreds of years, don't be like a child, what should you do." I'm a little thirsty, so get me some supernatural blood. Sebas: ...... Taking a deep breath, Sebas saluted: "I'm sorry, master, it's me who lost my temper, I'm going to prepare a supper for you." With that, he saluted respectfully again, and then slowly withdrew.
Watching Sebas leave, Charlotte leaned against the railing, thoughtful. Sebas's mood in a sense also reflects a certain state of her current power.
As time goes by, her own strength is getting stronger, and if you add plug-ins, she has already exceeded the specifications, and has stepped into the battle of mythology with half a foot.
But the overall strength of her followers is too poor, and some can't keep up with her pace. Especially the inner circle headed by Sebas who knows her true identity, the strongest is Sebas himself.
For example, the black cat Nice, and the current priest of the Blood Wolf Tribe, the werewolf Luf, are even worse. If Charlotte wants to develop her power and strengthen her faith, she can't do everything, she definitely needs followers to do things.
If she wants to gain a foothold in the kingdom and even in the whole of Miria, not only herself, but also her followers need to be stronger.
At least...... You have to hold the field.
"Perhaps, it's time for me to think about improving everyone's strength." Charlotte muttered to herself.
The conventional way to improve your strength is to do extraordinary training, but this process is too slow. Charlotte has cheats, though.
That is one of the abilities unlocked by the [Blood Tome] - [Divine Grace Blessing]. [Divine Blessing] is a rare ability in the Blood Tome that can use the divine power of blood, and can grant the corresponding blessing effect to the target by consuming a certain amount of divine power.
Charlotte tried several times, this effect can be permanent or temporary, and the consumption of divine power is also proportional to the strength of the blessing effect, which can act on things and people.
She can craft it with this ability
"Artifact" can also use this ability to give believers the power to perform divine magic, and can even use this power to strengthen the target's bloodline power and directly improve the opponent's strength.
Of course, the consumption is not small, and the direct consumption is divine power, so Charlotte, who has always been scarce in divine power, has not used it much, but has put this ability on hold for the time being.
But now that she's fused with the mystical idol, divine power isn't so scarce anymore. In addition, she later unlocked the [Faith Network], which can establish a deeper connection with believers, if she uses divine power to bless believers, descendants and subordinates, it is not a complete gift, but in a sense, it has become a long-term investment, which can be fed back with the help of the growth of the other party's strength...... It's a long-term process, but it adds up, but it can become the main source of blood divine power, and may even help Charlotte ascend to the throne in the true sense of the word!
Thinking of this, Charlotte had a plan: "When Albrecht sacrifices a new idol, the Central Council is successfully concluded, and I return to the Northland, I will put this matter on the agenda......"
