Tome of Blood
Chapter 169 -19- Do the elves also discriminate?
The next morning, outside Beigang City.
Putting on an aristocratic outfit suitable for going out, Charlotte sat in the carriage, watching the street view of Beigang outside the window with relish.
On the clear waterway, ships slowly pass by, and the streets of the ancient city on the shore are bustling with pedestrians.
Occasionally, melodious bells can be heard coming from afar, startling a burst of seagulls.
Not to mention what the church of the Holy King's court has become in decline here, the bell at this fixed time is still quite punctual.
The majestic castle in the distance, the quietly flowing canal nearby, all kinds of Gothic buildings stretching on both sides of the waterway, plus the pedestrian's avant-garde and gorgeous costumes...Charlotte Suddenly, there is really an illusion of returning to the Venice of the early Renaissance in the film and television.
She thought it would be more high-profile if she still wore aristocratic clothes, but she took a closer look at the pedestrians coming and going in Beigang, good guy... It turns out that the textile industry here has become so powerful that even the clothes of ordinary citizens can compare with Boer. The degree of country nobility in virtue.
Although Boulder was considered a relatively poor principality in the kingdom, this is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Thanks Castell Silvermine.
It not only brought a lot of wealth to Beigang, but also unlimited business opportunities and capital for primitive accumulation.
This place is not only rich, but also has a large population. There are also a large number of immigrants from all over the world, and the labor force is sufficient. It is simply the place chosen by heaven.
If it were placed on Blue Star, it would be too f-ckingly suitable for industrial innovation, and it would definitely be the birthplace of new trends of thought.
Even if there is extraordinary power in the world of Miria, Charlotte feels that it is not impossible for the magic to change a magic version of the magic revolution.
The wind was blowing, Xiao Jing watched, Charlotte waited boredly, thinking wildly by the way, and the melodious and pleasant music almost set off the atmosphere.
It wasn't until the familiar figure of Sebastian appeared in the field of vision that Charlotte lifted her spirits and signaled Shirley beside her to open the carriage door.
Sebastian smiled and said thank you to Shirley, then gracefully got into the compartment with enough space for four people, and sat down opposite Charlotte.
As for Nice, he also jumped up.
It first looked at Charlotte's leg, then at Shirley's leg, and after weighing the pros and cons, it finally obediently jumped onto Lena's lap opposite Shirley.
And Lena was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stroked Nice's head, making the fat cat show an extremely comfortable expression.
Charlotte gave it a curious look.
But after noticing Reina who was also relaxed after holding the black cat, she finally sighed and slowly looked away.
"How? It's all done?"
Looking at the relaxed Sebastian across from her again, Charlotte asked.
Sebas was about to speak, but Nis, who was being pushed by Reina, spoke triumphantly first:
"Hey, of course it's all done! Lord Charlotte, don't you look at who made the move, I'm nice, no matter how deep those guys hide, they have to be found out!"
However, Sebastian unexpectedly did not quarrel with Nice this time, but nodded:
"Yes, as you judged, Your Excellency Nice is indeed quite sensitive to the smell, those secret people are not bad, all of them were tied up by us and thrown to the gate of the city hall."
"town Hall?"
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I briefly interrogated them. They are sent by the nobles in the territory to stare into your eyes and monitor your movements. It is most suitable for such people to be handed over to the city hall."
Sebastian said respectfully.
After hearing this, Charlotte narrowed her eyes immediately:
"As soon as I came to Beigang, I sent people to watch me. It seems that the nobles of Castel are also a little tricky..."
"Hey, we've already told that chubby city magistrate, after we return, you'll have to see a detailed list."
Nice laughed.
"That's right, let Madoc have a headache about this matter, just to see if he is really loyal to me."
Charlotte nodded in satisfaction.
Besides, Charlotte, who has a keen sense, sensed that someone was watching her when she finished her meal this morning and was about to leave for the eastern mine.
And, not a lot.
So, she stopped, and directly sent Sebastian and Nice to find out these guys one by one.
Sebastian is the MAX force value other than the liberation of her true ancestor, and she is invincible in the Castel Territory without the blazing sun.
As for Ness the Black Cat...
After experiencing the incident with the Witch Anna, Charlotte unexpectedly discovered that this guy's perception is terrifyingly strong, completely different from its Schrödinger's hip-pull strength, but it is very suitable as a cat-shaped detector.
So, a cat and a dog cooperated under the order of the owner, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it is surprisingly not bad.
"Okay, now that there are no more flies, let's go, walk faster, just in time to have dinner in the mining area. Remember, these days our identity is from the Moonguard Principality to Castel to do Mithril business Nobility, and my name is Agnès de Broglie."
Charlotte laughed.
The most common people in Castelland are caravans and nobles who come and go to do business. Such identities are the most suitable for hiding.
Charlotte even prepared an aristocratic sun hat that can cover her face, which can not only block her true face, but also block the sun.
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian smiled and saluted gracefully:
"Then... Mademoiselle Agnès, I am Lachel, your housekeeper."
"I'm Lisa the maid."
Shirley said coldly and simply.
Saying that, she looked at Reina on the opposite side again:
"You are the maid... Liya."
Reina looked at Charlotte, then at Shirley across the way, tilted her head ignorantly, and nodded obediently.
"Hey, Lord Charlotte, then I am your coachman Cole."
In front of the carriage, there was a male voice who was eager to try. Rand was the only one among the knights guarding Charlotte who had set foot on the stars.
Sebastian, Niss, Shirley, and Lena, the blood of the king on Charlotte Road, together with the young knight Rand who is in charge of driving, are the lineup for Charlotte to go to the eastern mining area this time.
Among them, Sebastian and Niss must be brought along with outstanding abilities. As for Shirley... it is because she is so good at being a maid that Charlotte, who is becoming increasingly depraved, can't help but want to take her with her to do things.
This time, Charlotte estimates that it will take at least three days, and it may need to involve further disguise and lurking in the middle. Considering that her own skill points in this area are almost useless, and Sebastian is For men, it's normal to have a reliable maid by your side.
As for Reina... this girl who is likely to be the last royal descendant has been depressed since Anna disappeared, and Charlotte was worried about leaving her alone in the Earl's Mansion, so she simply took her with her. Take it easy.
However, although he was distracted, this man's force value is also good. When the undead attacked, he also helped the team fight against the undead. He is also an advanced person, and his real strength may even be no less than that of Xia who was not liberated by the true ancestor. lot.
But it turned out that her choice was not bad. After coming out together, Reina obviously relaxed a lot, especially when she was hugging the perverted cat, Nice.
Although Charlotte doubted that the black cat would eat tofu, she was a little surprised that when getting along with Lena, Niss, who had always been daring, was quite honest.
So Charlotte turned a blind eye and closed it.
As for Rand... it's just because Charlotte needs a coachman, and he is the strongest among the followers.
Carrying Charlotte and his party, the carriage set off quickly, heading east towards Castelland.
The Castre mines are located on the eastern border of the Land of Castres, adjacent to the Grand Duchy of the North.
Unlike most areas of the Earldom, there are not plains, but low mountains and hills.
Of course, it is said to be east, but compared to Beigang in the north, the orientation is southeast.
The distance between the mining area and Beigang is not too far, because there are often caravans coming and going, and a spacious and flat official road has been built, which is very suitable for horse racing. It only takes a day to drive faster.
Charlotte and his party set off in the morning, and at dusk, they arrived at the main settlement in the mining area—Silver City.
As the name suggests, Silver Mining City is a city developed from silver mining. It used to be just a station for miners, but today it has already formed a medium-sized city with a population of about 70,000.
There is a tall city wall guarding the city, 12 meters high, and it is said that it was built to prevent the invasion of the Northern Grand Duchy in the northeast.
Unlike Beigang, which has a renaissance style and petty bourgeois sentiment, Mining Silver City is more rough and has a steampunk feel. Various metal workshops can be seen everywhere, and even abandoned mines can be seen in the city.
Here, the human races are unexpectedly mixed, Charlotte not only saw humans, but also elves, dwarves, orcs and demihumans.
Among them, most of the elves and dwarves were artisans, and most of them had a transcendent status. The orcs and demihumans were relatively low. Many were miners, some were hired, and some were simply slaves.
"Xia...um...Master Agnes, where are we going next?"
Rand stopped his horse, looked at the dazzling street, and asked respectfully.
Charlotte and Sebastian exchanged glances:
"Has the message been sent?"
"It has been sent."
Sebastian replied respectfully.
"Where is the location?"
"The Metasequoia Hotel, Luf said that it is the best hotel here, and it is also the place where most caravans and nobles stay."
Charlotte nodded, and then said to Rand who was driving the car:
"Go to the Metasequoia Hotel."
...
Rand drove the carriage, asking passers-by for directions, and stopped in front of a hotel with a distinct elf style after about ten minutes.
The group got out of the car, and Sebastian stood beside Charlotte as the butler, Shirley and Reina in maid uniforms stood behind her, one on the left and one on the right, and at the end was Rand, who served as a follower.
As for Niss, he jumped out of Reina's arms, walking on the other side of Charlotte as if he was fighting with Sebastian.
The interior decoration of the hotel is also a natural elf style. After Charlotte and his party entered, an elf hostess greeted them with a smile, and went straight to Charlotte, who was obviously the owner, and asked respectfully:
"This guest, stay or dine?"
Charlotte withdrew her gaze from looking around curiously, motioned Sebas to respond, and Sebas took a step forward, smiling and saying:
"Stay and book a private room at the same time."
The elf waiter couldn't help but looked at his outstanding appearance, and nodded slightly.
Sebastian covered his ears today and was not recognized as an elf.
The accommodation procedures were completed quickly. It is a suite exclusively for nobles. There are many subdivided rooms in it. There are five bedrooms in total, one master and four times.
Charlotte had a master bedroom by herself, Sebastian, Shirley, and Reyna each had a second bedroom, and Nice shared a second bedroom with Rand.
Nice: ...
"Target me! Sebastian, you are targeting me!"
It is full of anger.
"Be content, as a cat, you can still sleep in the bedroom."
Sebastian smiled authentically.
"Discrimination! You are discrimination!"
The black cat blew its beard and stared.
And Rand looked at Nice with a smirk, scratched his head and said:
"Lord Nice, don't worry, I don't snore at night."
Nice: ...
After packing up and saluting, the group went to eat.
The dinner is also a typical elf style. There is almost no meat, and there is only one meat dish, but the overall taste is excellent and the preparation is exquisite.
Charlotte likes the mead brewed by elves very much. It reminds her subconsciously of the pineapple beer she drank in her previous life, but it is cooler and more delicious.
Two maids and a knight feasted on it.
However, Charlotte did not eat too much, but just a little bit.
So did Sebastian.
After everyone finished eating, Charlotte said to the two maids and a knight:
"Let's go out and take a look around first. Next... Sebastian and I have guests to meet."
Neither Lena nor Rand has really entered Charlotte's inner circle, and Shirley...has not made up her mind to become Charlotte's family, so naturally there is still a layer of separation.
After getting the order, several people left respectfully, and Charlotte let the hotel serve the dishes again.
Niss also stayed. Although this guy is out of touch, as Charlotte's contract servant, he is still a member of the inner circle.
Two people and one cat waited like this until about fifteen minutes later, the room was rang.
Sensing the identity of the visitor with her keen perception, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She smiled slightly and said:
"Please come in."
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall and burly figure walked in hurriedly.
It was none other than Boulder's leader of the sub-human tribe who believed in the true ancestor, the werewolf Luf.
Besides, the werewolf tribe received an oracle from the "True God" two months ago and went north to Castel. At the same time, Charlotte, as the owner of the Rose Society, gave Luf the task of investigating the silver mine.
To this day, it must have gained something.
Unlike in Boulder, at this moment he was dressed in a rough miner's attire, looking quite heroic and vicissitudes.
"Lord Charlotte, Lord Sebastian, I'm sorry...I'm late, and I was delayed at the bar for a while."
He smiled honestly and said embarrassedly.
Charlotte was a little surprised:
"The bar won't let you in?"
"Uh... those elves thought of me as a sub-human slave in the mining area at first."
Luf scratched his head helplessly.
Charlotte's expression suddenly became a little strange.
She couldn't help but glanced at Sebastian:
"Elves also discriminate?"
Sebastian spread his hands:
"No, many elves with a tradition of arrogance almost discriminate against anyone except elves and people who have beauty comparable to elves."
Charlotte: ...
She glanced at Lu Fu's big face with deep scars and thick hair, which didn't look like a stubble, and silently looked away.
With a light cough, she said:
"Your Excellency Luf, thank you for your hard work. I would like to ask about the Castel Silver Mine. How is the investigation going?"
Lu Fu looked serious:
"My lord Charlotte, the Castel Silver Mine... has a problem!"
Push a friend's book! Vera wrote it! "I Invented at Hogwarts"!
Introduction:
After Rigg joined Hogwarts, the pressure came to Azkaban.
When Voldemort escaped, he was knocked down by a super electromagnetic gun from Harry Potter.
"Rig, this is much better than a wand!"
