Tome of Blood Chapter 221

  Chapter 221-71-Nice's chips

  The underground station of the Ness clan in Beigang, located in the tavern in the outer area of ​​the island.

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

  Beside him, several other Ness blood 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 had 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 falling, and all the guards clenched their swords, staring at the vampires in the center solemnly and vigilantly.

   "Don't be so nervous, we came here with good intentions, and actually 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.

   Blood races have always been proud, even Ness.

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

  Of course, no matter how gentle and friendly he is, as the representative of the Ness 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, Ulster paid attention to his propriety and did not hurt any of the Castel soldiers who were trying to arrest them.

   Only the tavern owner looked down at the messy tavern, thinking about how much Quintana would spend to fix the tavern after this incident.

  However, he also quickly realized that it may be unknown whether the tavern will still be there after today, and whether he will 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 squad leader 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.

  Even if it is him, at such a close range, with so many magic crystal cannons, he will be injured if he does not die.

   Outrageous!

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

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

  Yurst scolded those compatriots of the Gorefiend Cult in his heart, but for a moment he forgot that the hostility between Castel and the blood clan 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 orderly 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 above 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 signaled the soldiers to put down their weapons for the time being, and gave Yurst a slight salute, saying:

   "Blood descendants from the Fallen Star, the Earl has ordered that I would like to meet you."

   After finishing speaking, he motioned to the guards to make way for him.

  Urst 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 the person in charge."

  Captain Chatham stopped other blood descendants who wanted to follow Earl Urst.

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

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

   It is they, not Castel, who want to talk. Although Castel has a tough attitude, who makes them the one who wants to talk.

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

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

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

   I have to say that the Castel family is indeed rich and profound.

  Even with the discerning eyes of Earl Urst, who has been raised 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 was confiscated by the Roman royal family.

  Thinking of this, Yurst secretly sighed.

  Nice clan's heritage of thousands of years, a lilac war exhausted most of it.

  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 Ulster, 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:

   "Is that the Earl of Ulster of the Ness clan?"

Ok?

  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 blood race!

   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 as a maid?

   "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, and saw that the person speaking was a guard knight of Castel.

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

  No one else, because the other party is also a blood race!

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

  What the hell?

   Now blood descendants can freely serve as servants in the Earl's Palace of Castel?

   Isn't the little Earl of Castel very hostile to blood clans 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, the Earl of Castel doesn't seem to hate the blood race because of his personal encounters, as the lower-level blood race investigations did.

   This gave him a glimmer of hope. Could it be... that the Ness clan could really negotiate successfully 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 Ulster'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. I am afraid that only the rumored most beautiful girl in the New Moon Kingdom has such an appearance.

  That's... she looks younger than he imagined, not like a sixteen-year-old girl, but a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

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

  She quickly moved away from Yurst, stammering and saying:

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

   "Curious? Is 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! I am very efficient!"

   After saying that, she ran out in a panic.

  Looking at the disappearing figure of the blood maid, Earl Urst's heart moved slightly.

  The blood race 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.

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

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

   she asked softly.

  Urst withdrew his gaze and got up to pay his respects:

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

  The girl nodded:

   "I am Charlotte of Castle."

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

   "Go down first."

  The knights hesitated for a while, then bowed respectfully and left.

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

  Looking at 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.

  Combining what happened to Earl Lachlan and Duke Yorok's attitude, he believed more and more that the lord of Castel in front of him must be protected by experts!

   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, simply that 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 on behalf of the Ness clan to reconcile with Castel."

  Charlotte glanced at the scroll on the table, did not open it directly, but chuckled lightly, and said:

   "Reconciliation? Your Excellency 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 Urst 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 sincerity."

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

   "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 listening to Earl Ulster's words, Charlotte was a little surprised.

  She glanced at the other party 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 Ness clan."

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

  Charlotte smiled lightly.

  Yurster looked surprised, then nodded, and sighed:

   "Your information is faster than I thought. Yes, we do 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:

   "Mr. 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!
