Tome of Blood

Chapter 219 -69- You are under arrest!

Earl Ulster didn't know how many years he hadn't been to Beigang.

fifty years? a hundred years? Or two hundred years?

As a traditional blood clan, Yurst almost never left his castle. The last time he moved his butt was when he was defeated in the Lilac War and had to withdraw from Belem, the king's capital of Fallen Star, to live in seclusion in the countryside.

Looking at the bustling and almost congested port in front of him, looking at the stretch of buildings on the water, even though he had already prepared himself, the Earl of Blood couldn't help being in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's said that Castel is the richest territory in the north, but after seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation!"

"No wonder the elders are unwilling to give up Castel, such a prosperous place is rare even in Luoxing..."

Waging war requires huge sums of money.

Although the vampires rely on their long lifespans and rat-like lives so that they have never been short of money, and even the hardcore can rely on time to become rich, but many of the Ness clan's property has long been lost. Lost in the Lilac War.

The Presbyterian Church did have a reason not to give up on Castel. Over the past few years, just by infiltrating its power indirectly into the Castel silver mine, the Ness clan has obtained a considerable amount of wealth, and even created a A large number of enchanted equipment.

Earl Urst believed that if Castel was fully controlled, the success of regaining control of the Fallen Star Kingdom would surely increase.

Thinking of this, Yurst felt a little headache and nervous again.

A mysterious god appeared behind Castel, and all the plans of the Ness clan were disrupted, and they almost lost the possibility of controlling the Northland.

To be honest, as one of the people in charge of the Return to the Star Project, he really didn't want to come to Beigang at this juncture and face a strange god.

But who made the ranks of the blood races so strict?

A higher title means absolute power. As a blood descendant of the Duke of Yorok, he has no possibility of refusing, so he can only bite the bullet.

"My lord, we are about to go ashore."

The captain's respectful voice woke Urst from his contemplation.

Unlike Earl Urst, the captain of this Carrick sailing ship is not of Ness blood, but a retainer of their peripheral blood slaves.

Urst nodded, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said seriously:

"Well, prepare the boat for landing."

Carrick sailboats have a relatively deep draft, and the port of North Harbor is too busy and crowded, so ships can only park in the harbor, and those who disembark need to go ashore in small boats.

Because of the existence of the Holy Royal Court, the identities of the blood clans cannot be put on the bright side. This time, their identities on the bright side are noble caravans from the Fallen Star Kingdom.

Earl Ulster ordered the accompanying blood to unfurl the flag of the caravan, and rowed the boat to the pier.

The pier was even more lively, with countless heads everywhere, trucks, caravans, mercenaries, sailors... bustling with each other.

Yurst and his party did not attract much attention.

After they registered their identities at the registry office in a low-key way, they went directly to the underground station of the Ness clan in Beigang under the leadership of the guide, a tavern opened on Binhai Street.

"Lord Earl, welcome to Beigang. It's been a hard journey."

The tavern owner, who had already received the news, saluted Earl Ulster respectfully.

"Prepare us three suitable carriages. We are going to the Earl's Palace to visit the Earl of Castel tonight."

"Remember, the style of the carriage must be solemn, but not too dull, low-key and restrained, but not too plain."

Earl Urst ordered casually.

As a blood clan, he has always had high requirements for travel conditions, especially this time when he is going to visit the master of the Northland, he pays more attention to it than before.

"Okay, my lord earl, please rest for a while, I'll go get ready."

The tavern owner is respectful and authentic.

Looking at the haggard boss and the empty tavern, Earl Urst's heart moved, and he frowned slightly:

"Are you the only one left in the clan's residence?"

The tavern owner gave a wry smile:

"Lord Earl, since Earl Castel began to examine the blood descendants in the territory, our people either evacuated or were arrested. Now I am the only one left here."

Earl Ulster was a little surprised:

"Castel moved so fast?"

The tavern owner sighed:

"Yes, Earl Castel's control over the territory is much stronger than we imagined, especially... she seems to have a special channel to investigate our identities. Many of our people were arrested by the city before they could evacuate. Guards arrested."

Earl Ulster immediately stopped.

He couldn't help but glanced at the tavern owner again, and suddenly said:

"You mean, apart from the last station and you, all the other organizations that the clan has secretly operated in Beigang over the years have all been taken over? Even those outlying organizations that did not participate in the infiltration of Castel ?”

"Yes, they were all uprooted, and even all the related local nobles suffered, not to mention the loss of titles, and the confiscation of family property...Really, don't look at the young age of the Earl of Castel Light and feminine, but this style of acting is really fast, accurate, and ruthless..."

The tavern owner sighed.

Earl Urst was silent, and his brows gradually frowned.

Looking at the Earl who suddenly fell into deep thought in front of him, the tavern owner's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help asking:

"My lord, what's wrong with you...?"

Earl Urst glanced at the door of the tavern, and suddenly said:

"I'm thinking... If the Earl of Castel really has a special channel to investigate your identities, why is this place the only one that hasn't been taken away?"

After hearing his words, the tavern owner was stunned.

In the next second, accompanied by a violent door breaking, heavily armed city guards rushed in under the leadership of extraordinary knights, and quickly made dumplings for all the Ness blood in the tavern:

"Don't move! We are the Beigang Guard. According to the review, we have reason to suspect that you are related to the blood descendants of the Fallen Star. Now... you have been arrested!"

Seeing the dozens of armored men rushing in, the tavern owner panicked, while the blood descendants of Ness who accompanied Earl Ulster stood up one after another, showing vigilance.

Only Urst himself was still sitting there calmly, as if he had already sensed the arrival of the North Harbor Guards.

He picked up the honey wine offered by the tavern owner on the table and took a sip, then looked at the city guards surrounding everyone, and said lightly:

"I'm Eust, Eust Ness."

"I'm here on behalf of the Ness clan, and I want to talk to Lord Castel."

After hearing Earl Ulster's words, the city guards looked at each other in blank dismay.

The leading knight snorted and said:

"Nice and not Nice, I've never heard of it, Mr. Earl, how can you see it whenever you want?"

"Everyone crouch down with their heads in their hands, don't move!"

Yurst: ...?

...

I'm thinking, maybe it's because full attendance is doomed, so this month's subconsciously messed up (deep thinking)
