-74- Flattery and surprise
A legendary bloodline made a move, and the interrogation was naturally handy.
It didn't take much effort for Albrecht to pour out everything he knew, and the already terrified Count of Colymo poured out everything he knew.
"I see, do you plan to use the Roman blood on the Count of Castel to activate the contract of the Roman family, and then obtain the artifact of Romanus......
Albrecht raised an eyebrow slightly.
He glanced at Count Collimo with an inexplicable expression, and his expression was rather strange:
"I actually hit that adult with the idea, and I don't know if you should say that you are too bold or too unlucky......
"Only, even if you don't mention the power of that person...... What the hell do you think, such a blatant kidnapping, is it really that other nobles are blind? ”
Listening to Albrecht's inquiry, the Count of Corimo swallowed a mouthful of spit and replied tremblingly:
"We ...... We plan to blame the bloodlines inside Falling Star for this kidnapping, and then ...... In the posture of a savior, he 'rescued' His Excellency the Count of Castel again. ”
"The bloodline of the falling star is too cunning, and has infiltrated all the upper echelons of the kingdom, and even some members of the royal family have become their people......"
"The Crescent Diocese is too busy to take care of itself, and the Royal Court Church of the Falling Star has long been in vain, so we can only take this method to fight against the bloodline."
Listening to the words of the Count of Corimo, Albrecht was surprised:
"It's still a plan to kill three birds with one stone, if it goes well, you can get the artifact, you can secure the inheritance, you can fight the bloodline of the falling star, and you have a chance to get the friendship of the Northland and even the covenant of Castel......"
"Tsk, did the Duke named Conte come up with this plan? What a smart guy! ”
As he spoke, without waiting for the Count of Corrimo to answer, Albrecht muttered to himself:
"It's no wonder that the Ness clan has been making a move recently, and it turned out that they were planning to return to the stars in advance, it seems that ...... They also began to prepare for Advent Day. ”
"These guys...... What kind of benefits did you promise to get the acquiescence and even support of that one? ”
Albrecht was thoughtful.
It's really bloodless than blood, and bloodblood can kill blood.
The Blood Demon Sect he was in was chased everywhere by the True Ancestor as a dog in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and he was reported and taken to a stronghold, and even he, the third dark apostle, was beaten and forcibly harvested as a blood servant......
It's good over there with the Ness Clan.
I don't know the identity of His Majesty the True Ancestor, but I can live in peace with His Majesty the True Ancestor, and I can even get support!
It's really a departure from Dapu, the main force that infiltrated Castel in the first place, but they are the Ness clan; Back then, they fell into the well together, and there was no shortage of their Nes clan!
I have to say that Albrecht is really a little sour at this moment.
Looking at the "girl" with a cloudy expression and the guards and attendants who had turned into puppets around her, Count Corrimo shivered coldly, and then said stubbornly:
"Pavilion...... Excellency! I've told you all you know! We didn't mean to kill Lord Castel, but we had to do this to avoid a split in the Romans......"
"Alright, to be honest, I don't care what you're up to, whether it's kidnapping Count Castel, mutilating Count Castel, or dealing with the Ness Bloodline and stabilizing the throne of the Falling Star...... If you could do it, maybe I would be quite happy and even applaud you, but alas...... You're just some incomprehensible bugs, and you're laughing in vain. ”
Albrecht shook his head.
With that, he lazily glanced at the trembling Count of Corimo, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes:
"The aristocracy of mankind has only so much to offer."
After speaking, a black light flashed in his hand, spreading out a black line like a tentacle, and rushed towards Count Corrimo.
Looking at the black lines that were exactly the same as those on the other "puppets", Count Corimo's expression changed greatly, and he cried out in horror:
"Nope! Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I'm willing to do anything! Willing to do anything! ”
Albrecht didn't even look at him, allowing the black thread to entangle him, and the Count of Corimo's eyes quickly lost their sparkle and became indistinguishable from the others.
Albrecht owes the body at this point.
He beckoned slightly, and the Count of Corrimo saluted him stiffly with the others.
"Kill you? Heh, I want to kill you, I've been in a bad mood lately, and I've long wanted to kill a few guys who don't have long eyes. ”
"If it weren't for the fear that it would really affect the plans of the True Ancestor, you would all have to become my living corpses!"
Albrecht glanced at the "puppets" around him and said viciously.
As he spoke, he drank all the black tea in the cup and touched his chin:
"Alright, now that the conspiracy has been revealed, let's ...... What to do? ”
"Do you continue to disguise your identity, or do you manipulate the puppets to sabotage the plans of the Roman family, or do you ...... Will you play with them as planned? ”
Imagining the possible pleasures, Albrecht became intrigued.
However, he quickly reacted, was slightly stunned, and laughed at himself with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Hey, I'm really used to being a blood servant, and I know how to think about what to do next......"
"Do more wrong, don't do it well, what to do is something that his old man needs to consider, I better not rush to join in the fun."
With that, Albrecht summoned the Shadow Demon of the Contract that Charlotte had left for him.
The black magic spread, and the figure of the Shadow Demon slowly emerged, letting out a low roar at him.
Albrecht frowned and snorted coldly, and the same black magic spread from his body, even more viscous and terrifying than the Shadow Fiend.
Feeling the terrifying aura of the same origin on his body, the shadow demon suddenly stopped, and it quickly shrank into a ball weakly and pitifully, and honestly prostrate on the ground, its illusory and distorted face seemed to be flattering, like a tail-wagging teddy.
"It's a shame to be a demon's face!"
Albrecht looked at it with disgust, and suddenly lost the interest in letting this guy run errands.
"Forget it, this dog thing is unreliable at first glance, and its IQ is not very good, so let's apply directly to talk to True Ancestor Crown."
"The ritual hasn't started yet, and the old man's heart-to-heart conversation shouldn't be closed yet......"
"What should I do, let his old man worry about it, no matter what the result is, I can't be blamed!"
Albrecht quickly made a decision.
As a master of shirking responsibility in the Blood Demon Order, he has always been good at this.
I saw him throw the Shadow Demon back into the other dimension in disgust, and then communicated with the blood servant mark in his soul, replaced it with a flattering smile, and sought a heart-to-heart conversation with the Thorn Rose......
……
Riding in the carriage prepared by Jurst, Charlotte came to Roman Square from the other direction.
However, she did not enter the interior of the square, but entered the underground through a hidden entrance.
This is supposed to be the underground drainage system of the city of Roon.
The city of Roon, like Lutesia, is the ancient city of the old Yunette Empire, and these drainage networks are left over from that era of royal power and hot and rainy climate.
Of course, as in Lutethia, the drainage system of the city of Roon has mostly been abandoned, except for the necessary parts that are still functioning.
Over here...... It has long been a place where some monsters, outlaws and even cults are active.
The same is true of the underground area beneath Place de la Romain, where the ceremony takes place, with traces of erosion everywhere.
However, perhaps because of the proximity to the ceremonial site, it was much more heavily guarded and guarded everywhere.
When Charlotte and the others entered, they were quickly stopped by the guards:
"Stop! Ahead is a forbidden place, and no idle people are allowed to enter! ”
Jurst glanced at the guards and showed his noble badge:
"I'm Count Jurst, and I'm in charge of the security of this ceremony."
Seeing the badge, the guards immediately put away their weapons and saluted him respectfully:
"It turned out to be Lord Earl, Lord Earl, please come in."
After speaking, they looked at Charlotte beside Jurst, and their expressions were a little puzzled.
"This is my personal maid and my assistant, assisting me in checking the base of the protective magic."
Count Jurst said proudly.
Hearing his words, the guards were immediately in awe:
"It turned out to be Master Mage, Master Mage, please come in."
In this way, Jurst swaggered with Charlotte into the underground area directly below the square.
Charlotte noticed that, unlike the periphery, there were quite complex circles on the ground.
She was not a magic novice either, and she quickly recognized that this should be the foundation of the protective magic that enveloped the entire Roman Square with her already rich knowledge of magic.
And after thinking about it for a while, she probably realized how the Ness clan was arranged.
Apparently, Jurst has managed to gain the trust of the Romanes, not only as an assistant to the ceremony, but also as the guardian of the circle in the ceremonial square.
I'm afraid that the Ness clan was able to prepare the dark room for the "black" entry ancestor recognition ceremony directly below the square, and it also relied on this loophole.
As if to test Charlotte's suspicions, it didn't take long for Jurst to lead her to a hidden hole:
"Lord Castel, this is the dark room we have specially prepared for this ceremony, the circle has been set up, and when the ceremony officially begins, this place will also be part of the ceremony, joining the ancestor recognition ceremony."
Listening to Jurst's words, Charlotte bowed slightly.
She took Nice and went into the dark room.
The darkroom is not large.
It is said to be an underground dark room, but it is actually a temporary cavern.
As soon as he entered the cave, Ness scurried around, and after studying the magic array inside for a while, he said to Charlotte:
"Lord Charlotte, what Yurst said is right, this is indeed the magic circle of the Black Romance Ceremony!"
Charlotte bowed slightly.
The Ness clan is afraid of the "gods" behind her, and they won't pit her, not to mention that the person in charge is still Yurst's own person.
Roman's trip went even more smoothly than she imagined, although there was an Albrecht accident, which made the other party aware of her identity, but overall it was expected.
Next, it's a matter of waiting for the ritual to begin.
Thinking of this, Charlotte looked left and right, ready to find a place to sit.
After noticing her gaze, Ness suddenly moved, and quickly took out a chair from his other space, and said flatteringly:
"Lord Charlotte, please take a seat!"
Looking at the other party's eyesight, which was no less than Sebas's, Charlotte was a little amused, but she still sat down with satisfaction and praised "not bad".
Hearing her compliment, Nice's whole cat face was amused and seemed to be quite happy.
"Charlotte, please drink milk...... Oh no...... Drink a drink! ”
Ness took out the goblet and sweet milk that had been prepared in advance with the cat's paws, and expertly approached them.
Charlotte looked at it a little speechlessly, more or less feeling a little thirsty, and finally did not refuse.
On the other side, Yulst, who saw everything in his eyes, was stunned, and his heart became more and more surprised.
Well?
How does it feel...... Nicholas, this guy, is also so flattering to Lord Castel?
Looking at the way one person and one cat get along, he always feels a little discordant, but he can't say where the discord is.
It's just that......
Nicholas seems to have been treated as a pet by His Majesty, and Lord Castel is the Acting Companion of His Majesty.
The pet under the crown of the true ancestor, the agent under the crown of the true ancestor...... Should this be the attitude?
Even Nicholas has always been a pervert, and hundreds of years ago he was a shameful thing who couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman, and he was a strange of legendary mages, but ...... Isn't it a little too licky now?
Even if Lord Castel's appearance was very much in line with his own preferences described back then, it seemed a little too humble, right?
Jurst felt strange in his heart, and looked between Charlotte and Nice suspiciously, wondering if Nice, an old acquaintance who had not seen each other for hundreds of years, had been somewhat affected by his brain after becoming a cat.
Or rather...... Is Lord Castel what other secrets he doesn't know?
Jurst fell into deep thought.
And at this time, Charlotte suddenly raised her eyebrows and put down the goblet in her hand.
Noticing her movements, Yurst's heart moved:
"Lord Castel, what's wrong?"
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and said:
"My stand-in...... Hijacked. ”
Hearing her words, Jurster was stunned for a moment:
"Your stand-in has been hijacked? Wait a minute...... What's the situation? Your stand-in must have already taken the stage, right?! How do you know? ”
Charlotte did not hide it and said calmly:
"My stand-in is my servant, bound by contract with me, and able to speak to each other's hearts."
As she spoke, she chuckled again:
"It seems that we still underestimate the ambitions of the Falling Star Royal Family, and now the stand-in on the stage is fake, and my real stand-in has been taken away."
"The Falling Star Royal Family really looks up to me, and they even hired two Blazing Sun mercenaries for this purpose."
Jurst's expression changed slightly:
"Wait...... You mean it's the Roman family who hijacked your stand-in?! ”
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"It sounds like that."
Yulst's expression suddenly became serious.
Charlotte glanced at him and smiled:
"Lord Jurst, please don't worry, the Ness Clan's plans have not been revealed."
"My stand-in has secretly controlled the situation, and now I'm in trouble...... It's the one who hijacks. ”
Listening to Charlotte's words, Yulst's heart eased slightly.
But soon he realized that something was wrong:
"Wait......"
"You mean to say that your minions managed to secretly counter the two attacking Blazing Sun?!"
