Tome of Blood

Chapter 44 -44- The vest is off!

grass!

Dropped the vest!

Looking at Sebastian with a horrified face, the goblet full of milk in Charlotte's hand trembled slightly, and he was in a bad mood.

Lady of the Night!

She turned out to be Lady of the Night!

On the other side, recalling the mysterious and noble figure and the majestic familiar voice just now, Sebastian's traumatized soul was about to be scared out of his body.

Figured out.

All figured out!

At this moment, all the doubts in Sebas' heart were resolved!

It turns out that the sacral bell of the Boulder Church was ringing for Lady Dark Night!

The revived "evil god" is none other than Lady Dark Ye!

The rose of thorns is His holy symbol!

And the heir of the Castel family is the holy body that He chooses to descend!

Charlotte de Castel did not enter the sight of the gods, but he himself was a god walking on the ground!

God!

What was he doing just now? !

He actually wanted to probe the memory of Ms. Dark Night!

He was... trying to pry into the secrets of the gods!

Blasphemy!

This is blasphemy!

Sebastian was terrified and even had the urge to turn around and run.

But he knew he couldn't run away, because that would only arouse the god's wrath even more...

He suppressed his fear, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moved his gaze upwards slowly and with difficulty, and looked at the girl sitting on the chair.

He didn't look directly at the other person's eyes.

Because he dare not.

But even so, Sebastian quickly discovered more details that he hadn't noticed before...

A demeanor similar to that of the Lady of the Night hidden in the crimson mist.

That noble and familiar gesture made him feel as if he had found a confidant, the graceful movement of holding up the tall crystal cup.

And the thick and clear red in the crystal cup...Huh?

Cow...milk?

Sebas was stunned.

Looking at the white liquid in the girl's cup, he was nervous, scared and surprised, and he blurted out almost subconsciously:

"Do you... like drinking milk?"

And Charlotte, who was found out by the other party and was thinking about how to deal with it, after hearing this inconspicuous question, replied almost subconsciously:

"Underage...cannot drink alcohol."

Sebastian: ...

Charlotte: ...

At this moment, those who were guilty of being seen through their identities, and those who were afraid of attracting God's wrath...

Both were silent.

Under the eerie silence, no one broke the silence.

A person who doesn't know how to answer the words of the gods.

And the other wanted to give himself a big mouth, secretly cursing himself for what the hell he was talking about.

In the end, it was Sebastian who pulled out a smile with difficulty, and said elegantly and decently:

"As expected of you."

"Even if he came into the world with an immature holy body, he is still so elegant and wise, paying attention to physical health and the growth of the holy body..."

Charlotte: ...

She doesn't feel physically fit.

She only felt that the goblet in her hand was a little hot.

Sebastian's hardcore flattery did not ease the awkwardness of the atmosphere.

It wasn't until a hoarse and surprised voice came that the silence was completely broken:

"Huh? Sebastian? How did you get in here, you bastard?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Charlotte couldn't help but look over and saw the black cat Niss walking over with its tail raised high.

Its cheeks are bulging, and it seems that it is still eating something. Behind it is a waiter carrying a tray full of small dried fish.

And beside it, there was another acquaintance of Charlotte, Leno, son of the duke.

Leno seemed to be looking for someone, and looked a little absent-minded.

After seeing the beautiful girl in a dress, he couldn't help flashing a flash of surprise in his eyes.

But he quickly returned to normal, bent down and performed a non-standard aristocratic etiquette, and said with a cheerful smile:

"Miss Charlotte, we meet again, you are so beautiful today, you are like an angel who came!"

Just after the salute was over, the duke's son forcibly moved his eyes away from Charlotte, and started to sweep around the hall again, with a look of anxiety and anticipation.

Obviously, the person he was looking for was not Charlotte, even if the other party was the well-deserved focus of the venue.

And the look on his face just now, I'm afraid he didn't know that the Duke of Bold had already arranged the major events in his life for the rest of his life...

Leno was absent-minded, but Nice's attention was all on Sebastian.

Especially after noticing the other party's posture of kneeling on one knee, like a submissive knight's salute, its big amber eyes became sharp almost instantly.

Even Nis himself didn't realize that it almost jumped between Charlotte and Sebastian to separate the two, and the fat ball body didn't affect the speed at all.

After swallowing the small dried fish in his mouth three or five times, Nisgao raised his tail and landed on his limbs in a figure-splayed figure, looking alert and ready to attack at any time:

"What are you doing here? Looking for the great... Cough, what's the use of looking for the beautiful and noble Miss Charlotte?"

Noticing that he almost slipped his mouth, Nice quickly paused and changed his words.

However, when it raised its head, it quickly noticed the bright red blood at the corner of Sebas's mouth.

"Huh? When did you get hurt?"

Nice was slightly taken aback, as if it was inconceivable that such an existence as the other party could be injured in a place like Boulder.

Sebastian stood up gracefully, took out a neatly folded silk scarf from his arms, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, put it in the tray carried by the waiter who happened to pass by, and smiled gracefully road:

"It's nothing, I have some mouth ulcers recently."

Charlotte: ...

Nice: ...

God damn mouth ulcers!

Nice narrowed his eyes slightly, completely disbelieving what Sebas said.

And when it noticed Sebastian's still respectful demeanor after getting up, and the inadvertent look of awe towards the girl sitting behind him, his heart skipped a beat.

Good guy!

This guy did it?

Did he discover the identity of his old man?

What kind of disrespectful thing did he do just now, was he punished by the old monster?

etc……

What does his burning eyes mean?

Could it be... he also wants to board the boat? !

As if realizing something, Nice narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately became vigilant.

At the same time, Sebastian, who was wiping off the blood, also saw the collar on the black cat's neck.

Especially the black eagle emblem on the collar that symbolizes the Castel family...

Sebastian's eyes froze for an instant.

Pet collar?

The Castells?

hell!

This lecherous old thing has already discovered the identity of Lady Dark Night?

Give it directly to the Castel family as a pet?

It really has it! Does it really think of itself as a cat? ?

Isn't this too shameless?

Obviously I was first summoned by Lady Dark Night!

Sebastian's smile gradually subsided, and he looked at the black cat with vague hostility.

As for whether he was the first to be summoned, he had automatically ignored it.

One person and one cat confronted each other, swords were drawn, and it turned out that the confrontation smelled like gunpowder.

"Honorable... Ma'am, this black cat is greedy and lustful by nature, has countless enemies, and is lazy. It is a complete waste. Please be careful and stay away from it as much as possible. Don't be fooled by its appearance."

Sebastian smiled at Charlotte, looked down at the angry black cat, and said with disdain.

"Meow! Miss Charlotte! This guy is the boss of the gangster in the outer city! He is the one who sold the sacrifice materials to the Countess of Castel! You are hung on the cross because of him!"

The black cat, Niss, was not afraid at all, and fought back with a sneer.

Sebastian: ...

After listening to Nice's words, the flame elf's smile froze almost instantly.

he?

Charlotte couldn't help but glance over.

Noticing the girl's probing gaze, Sebas's scalp felt numb almost instantly, and he sweated profusely.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced a smile:

"Misunderstanding, it's all... misunderstanding."

Seeing the other party's trembling appearance, the big stone in Charlotte's heart finally fell to the ground.

fine……

Although the vest was off, the protection and counterattack of the "Sacred Code of Blood" made the other party completely regard her as a revived evil god!

That being the case, there is no choice but to continue acting.

"It's okay, it's all in the past. Without that sacrifice, I wouldn't be who I am now."

She took a sip of milk and said lightly.

Hearing the girl's words, Leno sighed slightly. In addition to being emotional, he looked at Charlotte with a hint of appreciation:

"Yeah, after experiencing wind and rain, people will eventually grow up."

"The past is in the past, Miss Charlotte, there is still a long way to go..."

However, when Sebastian and Nice heard the same words, they had different meanings.

The two almost came up with the same idea at the same time:

really!

He (Lady of the Night) successfully descended through that sacrifice!

And at this moment, commotion suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall, and the nobles in the entire hall almost stood up at the same time and let out a burst of cheers.

Charlotte's heart moved, and she also got up, looking towards the entrance at the same time.

At the entrance of the hall, several priests and witcher knights followed an old priest with gray hair and wearing a white robe into the venue.

There were also a few of Charlotte's acquaintances in the team.

Priest Lottie, Dean Raoul of the Church Hospital, and Chief Captain Kara of the Boulder Demon Hunting Institute were among them.

Leno was refreshed, and his shining eyes immediately fell on the female knight Kara.

Sebastian looked solemn, and took a half step back, as if he didn't want to be seen.

"The great priest is here, and Raoul and the others are also here."

Ness the Black Cat scratched his chin.

Saying that, it looked at Charlotte, hesitating slightly:

"That...Miss Charlotte."

"According to the rules, I have to pay a visit..."

"Go, no one is stopping you."

Charlotte glanced at it:

"Also, remember what I told you."

"Don't worry! I promise to bring the word to you!"

Nis patted his chest, then covered the collar on his neck, and ran towards the priest team with a swish.

However, someone is faster than it.

The duke's son, Leno, had approached the female knight Kara at some point, and was warmly greeting her, but he was greeted by the female knight's expressionless and indifferent face.

At this moment, Charlotte's stupid hair moved.

She seems to smell the smell of licking a dog.

That feeling, familiar, made her feel distressed for her previous life...

"The duke's son, Leno, and the witcher knight captain, Kara, were once active in a mercenary regiment. They were comrades-in-arms fighting side by side. Leno has always admired each other..."

"However, Kara is not interested in emotional matters. She just wants to take revenge, to avenge the Gorefiend Cult that caused the disaster of the Balrog ten years ago."

"For this reason... she even accepted the solicitation of the great priest and joined the Demon Hunting Institute."

Sebastian's explanation came from beside him, and Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

No wonder...

No wonder Lionel always happened to be there whenever she saw Carla.

It turned out to be a deliberate coincidence!

She looked at Sebastian who was teaching her science, and Sebastian just happened to cast her gaze.

Immediately afterwards, this elegant flame elf suddenly took advantage of the misalignment of the tables and chairs when everyone's attention was focused on the entrance of the hall, and knelt towards the girl in a place where no one could see. kneel down.

With one hand on his chest, he respectfully performed a surrender ceremony, and his gentle voice was extremely reverent and fanatical:

"Honorable and beautiful lady..."

"From the moment I saw you, Sebas knew that you were the only direction in my life."

"The humble Sebastian is willing to offer you the most ardent loyalty, and only wishes to be by your side, follow your progress, and become the most insignificant power in your hands..."

py! Listen to Riju's masterpiece of the gods! "Sorcerer's Manual"! The best-selling nail house of light novels, many readers may have read it, but I still recommend it here!
