Tome of Blood

Chapter 221 -71- Ness' Chip

The Ness clan's underground station in North Harbor is located in the tavern in the outer area of ​​the island.

Count Eurist sat quietly in front of the bar with a leisurely expression, sipping the honey wine from Luna Island.

Beside him, several other members of the Ness descendants from the Fallen Star Kingdom who were also members of the mission held weapons, looking vigilantly at the guards who surrounded them.

The tavern was in a mess, with the Ness Mission as the center radiating into a chaotic area. It was obvious that a battle had just happened, but there was no blood left.

And farther away, under the leadership of extraordinary knights, the heavily armed Castel guards covered three floors inside and three floors outside, completely sealing off the inside and outside of the tavern, and even completely sealed off the entire block.

Inside and outside the tavern, needles could be heard, and all the guards clenched their swords, staring solemnly and vigilantly at the vampires in the center.

"Don't be so nervous. We came here with good intentions. In fact, we don't want to conflict with everyone in Castel."

Earl Urst glanced at the mortal soldiers around him who were much more nervous than his own blood, and said as gently as possible.

He really has been as gentle as possible.

The blood race has always been proud, even Ness.

They despise mortals even more than elves. To be able to sit here and talk to these ordinary soldiers whose average strength is not extraordinary is really a miracle for traditional blood descendants.

Of course, no matter how gentle and friendly he is, as the representative of the Nass clan, a blood earl whose strength has reached the blazing sun, it is impossible for him to really let mortals arrest them.

This is about the face and dignity of the Nice clan.

Such a dignified confrontation was formed under such circumstances.

However, Urst was careful not to hurt any of the Castel soldiers who were trying to capture them.

Only the tavern owner was dejected looking at the messy tavern, thinking how much Quintana would spend to fix the tavern after this incident.

However, he also quickly realized that it was unknown whether the tavern would still be there after today, and whether he would stay in the Northland himself.

Now thinking about the repair fee of the tavern, it is completely meaningless.

The atmosphere in the tavern was oppressive and dignified. Except for the powerful Earl Urst, everyone was quite nervous.

Especially with the passage of time, more and more guards and extraordinary people were mobilized by Castel, and the blood descendants of Ness looked at their earl more and more frequently.

Gradually, when the city guards pulled over the giant magic crystal cannons enchanted by legendary mages that were used for coastal defense on the coast of Beigang, even Earl Urst couldn't sit still.

He put down the cup that he had drunk long ago, glanced at the big killer that easily shredded the Vanguard Fleet of the Fallen Star Kingdom in the Star-Moon War, cleared his throat, a little unnaturally said:

"Everyone, we have no malicious intentions. We are just here to talk to His Excellency Earl Castel on behalf of the Ness clan."

The Castel guards looked at each other, and finally an extraordinary knight dressed as a small captain stepped forward, and said vigilantly and cautiously:

"The captain has already gone to the earl's mansion to report, and you are not allowed to act rashly before the earl has delivered the order!"

Don't act rashly?

Don't act rashly anymore, are you going to transfer all the magic crystal cannons in Beigang!

Yurst cursed secretly, feeling helpless.

Although he is Chi Yang, it is very difficult for these heavy magic crystal cannons to kill him face to face, but it is different for other blood descendants.

And even for him, at such a close range, with so many magic crystal cannons, he would be injured even if he didn't die.

Outrageous!

Are all humans in the New Moon Kingdom so hostile to blood races?

It's all a good thing caused by those lunatics in Shedet!

Jurst scolded those compatriots of the Gorefiend Cult in his heart, but for a moment he forgot that the hostility between Castel and the vampires actually started with their own infiltration and the order of Earl Castel.

And just as Earl Ulster was thinking about whether he should quietly tear up a teleportation scroll and take the members of the mission back temporarily, a series of hurried hoofbeats finally came from outside the tavern.

Earl Ulster's heart moved, and he looked outside, only to see a dusty messenger jump off his horse, panting and running towards the extraordinary knight commanding the Castel guards:

"Captain Chatham! Captain Chatham! The Earl has orders! Take the envoy of Ness to the Earl's Mansion!"

As he spoke, the messenger took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and offered it with both hands.

The extraordinary knight took the parchment, looked at the order on it and the "wild" signature with a very personal style at the end, and nodded slightly:

"It is indeed the Earl's warrant."

After finishing speaking, he motioned the soldiers to put down their weapons for the time being, and gave Yurst a slight salute, saying:

"The blood descendant from the Fallen Star, the Earl has ordered that I would like to meet you."

After all, he motioned to the guards to get out of the way.

Yurst breathed a sigh of relief, and held back the teleportation scroll that was almost taken out.

He gave the other blood-born a look, then got up first, and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

"Wait a minute, although the Earl is willing to meet with you, but... only sees the person in charge."

Captain Chatham stopped the other Bloodborn who wanted to follow Earl Urst.

The blood descendants immediately glared at him, and Earl Ulster frowned, then said to the other blood descendants of the mission:

"You guys wait here, I can go alone."

It was they, not Castel, who wanted to talk. Although Castel had a tough attitude, they were the ones who asked for it.

Surrounded by guards, Earl Ulster boarded the carriage to the Earl's Mansion.

There were also a large number of guards around the Earl's Mansion. When Yurst got off the carriage, he saw armored knights who were even more elite than the city guards.

After layers of guards, he finally entered Castel's Earl's Mansion.

It has to be said that the Castel family is indeed rich and profound.

Even with Earl Urst's discerning vision that has been cultivated for thousands of years, the architecture and decoration of the Earl's Mansion in the Northland can definitely be called low-key luxury and style.

Even the servants and male servants in the Earl's Mansion are well-trained, and their etiquette standards are no worse than his blood servants.

Subconsciously, compared with the country castle he lives in now, Yurst feels that his temporary residence, which is not bad, looks much shabby for a while.

His previous castle was good, but after the failure of the Lilac War, it had been confiscated by the Roman royal family.

Thinking of this, Yurst secretly sighed.

A clove war exhausted most of the thousands of years of the Naisi clan.

If you can't regain the sphere of influence by relying on the Return to the Star Project, countless bad days are probably still to come.

Following the waiters and guards, Earl Urst came to the living room of the Earl's Mansion.

"Your Excellency Earl Urst, please stay here later, the Earl will be here in a while."

The waiter said respectfully.

Yurst nodded slightly, and sat down gracefully in the living room.

As soon as he sat down, a young and beautiful maid came in with a tray full of wine and poured wine for him.

However, after pouring the wine, the maid did not leave, but looked at him curiously, and couldn't help asking:

"You are Earl Ulster of the Ness clan?"

Um?

Earl Urst paused slightly in picking up his wine glass.

He subconsciously looked at the maid, but was soon stunned because he felt a familiar aura from her.

That is the breath of blood!

The other party... is a vampire!

Not only that, but the affinity brought to him by the other party is very strong, which shows that the other party is likely to be a blood descendant of pure blood, at least five generations, and possibly even four generations!

How is this going?

Isn't the Earl of Castel cleaning up the blood in the territory?

How could there be blood in her mansion swaggering in front of the maid?

"Do you know me? Which clan are you descended from? What's your name?"

Earl Ulster asked calmly.

The young maid seemed a little excited. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when a light cough came from the door:

"Ahem, miss, the Earl is coming soon."

Miss?

Yurst's heart moved slightly.

He looked towards the door, only to see that the person speaking was a guard knight of Castel.

However, when he felt the breath of the knight, he was also stunned.

Without him, because the other party is also a blood race!

Although the breath is not as pure as the maid, but it is also likely to be a blood descendant of the fifth generation!

What the hell?

Are the blood descendants free to work as servants in the Earl's Palace of Castel now?

Isn't the little Earl of Castel hostile to the blood clan because of his grandmother?

And... they seem to know me?

Earl Ulster was very puzzled.

However, there was one thing he seemed certain of.

That is, Earl Castel doesn't seem to hate the blood race because of his personal experience, as the lower-level blood race investigators did.

This gave him a glimmer of hope. Could it be... is it really possible for the Ness clan to successfully negotiate with the Lord of the Northland?

"Agnes, what are you doing here?"

A clear and pleasant female voice came from the door, which immediately attracted Earl Urst's attention.

He looked over, and saw a petite and beautiful noble lady appearing at the door, followed by respectful maids and knights.

That is really a very beautiful lady, even judging from Yurst's two thousand years of experience, the appearance of the other party is definitely among the best among the many women he has seen, including those elves with proud personalities .

The soft blond hair hangs down naturally, the pure blue eyes are like magnificent gems, and the delicate facial features and fair skin are like jade carvings.

Charlotte de Castel!

Yurst realized the identity of the other party almost instantly, probably only the rumored most beautiful girl in the New Moon Kingdom had such an appearance.

It's just... She looked younger than he had imagined, not like a sixteen-year-old girl, but a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

Seeing the girl who appeared at the door, the maid shrank her neck guiltily.

She hurriedly moved away from Yurst, and stammered:

"No... nothing... I... I'm just curious..."

"Curious? Are the weeds removed from the yard?"

The girl glanced at her with a half-smile.

The maid suddenly became more nervous:

"Eliminate! I will remove it! I am very efficient!"

After that, she ran out in a panic.

Seeing the disappearing figure of the blood maid, Earl Ulster's heart moved slightly.

That vampire just now... seems to be very afraid of this young earl?

No...the eyes seemed to be more than just fear, there seemed to be something else.

If you really want to say it, it's more like awe?

Yurst couldn't help looking at the girl.

There should be something on the girl that can cover up her aura, and he couldn't immediately sense the opponent's strength.

However, judging from the preliminary investigation, the Earl of Castel should only be a star-studded first-order transcendent.

Urst looked at the girl, and the girl looked at him.

"Your Excellency is the Earl of Ulster from Ness?"

she asked softly.

Ulster retracted his gaze and stood up to pay tribute:

"Exactly, my name is Ulster Ness, and I am the representative of the Ness clan mission."

The girl nodded:

"I am Charlotte of Castle."

After all, she said to the maid and knight behind her:

"Go down first."

The knights hesitated for a moment, bowed respectfully and left.

The girl entered the drawing room gracefully and sat opposite Earl Urst.

Seeing the other party's calm attitude, Yurst's heart moved slightly.

As the Earl of Blood, most of the human nobles he has met will be afraid of him. It is not only the difference in status, but also the difference in strength.

However, the girl in front of her was so calm. Not only that, she even dared to meet him alone, which showed that the other party was not afraid of his power.

Combined with Earl Lachlan's experience and Duke Yorok's attitude, he believed more and more that the lord of Castel in front of him must be protected by a master!

With this in mind, Yurst became vigilant instead. He didn't feel any other aura. If there is really a master, his strength can only be much higher than him!

Is it... the favored person of the mysterious god?

Or, is it simply the mysterious god?

Taking a deep breath, Earl Ulster put away the increasingly outrageous thoughts in his heart, took out a scroll from his arms, held it in both hands, and placed it in front of Charlotte:

"Honorable Earl of Castel, I am here to reconcile with Castel on behalf of the Ness clan."

Charlotte glanced at the scroll on the table, and didn't open it directly, but chuckled lightly and said:

"Reconciliation? Your Excellency, the Earl, the Ness clan has seriously damaged my interests in Castel over the years. If you really want to reconcile, shouldn't you give me an explanation first?"

Earl Ulster nodded slightly and said:

"You are right, but we did come here with sincerity. This scroll records all the nobles of the North who have cooperated with our Ness clan for so many years. This... is one of our sincerities. "

"I think...with it, you should understand that we are really determined to reconcile, because it means that we will completely lose the trust of all the northern nobles."

"Not only that, we will also offer some precious classics and extraordinary knowledge as compensation to make up for the adverse effects on Castel these years."

After hearing Earl Ulster's words, Charlotte was a little surprised.

She glanced at him thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Your Excellency Earl Urst, you came to Beigang for more than just reconciliation, right?"

Earl Ulster nodded:

"Of course, in addition to reconciliation, this time I also came to cooperate on behalf of the Nice clan."

"Cooperation? Could it be... are you trying to convince me to support the Ness clan in regaining their authority in the Fallen Star Kingdom in the future?"

Charlotte smiled lightly.

Yurst looked surprised, then nodded, and sighed:

"Your information is faster than I imagined. Yes, we really want to cooperate in this regard."

Charlotte shook her head:

"Sorry, I'm not interested in participating in the power struggle of the Fallen Star Kingdom."

"Your Excellency Castel, don't you...don't listen to our chips first?"

Earl Ulster said.

"Oh? Chips?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

Earl Ulster nodded and said meaningfully:

"Your Excellency Castel..."

"I don't know if you have any ideas about obtaining a duke title and a large territory as rich as Castel?"

Ask for a monthly pass!
