Tome of Blood

  Chapter 139-138-Caravan from the Earldom

  The sunshine in June is always getting warmer and warmer every day.

  It has been three days since the failure verdict that the citizens of the church talked about, and even two days have passed since the vision of the Balrog that awakened many people.

Although the drinkers in the tavern will still mention the lucky rose meeting in the Holy Judgment when drinking to their heart's content, they will still discuss whether the Balrog in the night sky is real or an illusion, arguing about the glory that killed the Balrog. Whether it's the Duke, the High Priest, or someone else...

   But in any case, the past has passed, and Boulder City quickly restored its former calm.

  The world of Miria is like this.

  The existence of extraordinary power is not a secret. Although I am surprised by all kinds of visions and mighty power, people's ability to accept it, especially in a big city like Boulder with the third-level existence of Chi Yang... has always been very strong.

Of course, what is more important is that the Duke's Mansion and the church have never explained the vision that night. Although there are all kinds of incredible rumors, since even the church has not shown up to explain, and has not further alienated the people, it means that The one night vision has been resolved, nothing serious.

   Today, many people have turned their attention to the north gate of Boulder City.

  Especially the residents of the outer city, those children running around the street chattering.

  They gathered outside the city gate, looking forward to the wide road leading from the north of the city to the north.

   Today is the day when the Castel family's convoy of supplies enters the city, and it has been the twentieth of every month for many years.

  With the development of space magic technology, although teleportation arrays and space rings have gradually become popular among extraordinary people, considering the operating costs and some inherent defects of space technology, long-distance transportation still needs to rely on ordinary convoys.

  The same goes for the wealthy Castell family.

   And for the children in the outer city, this day of the month is their lucky day.

   "Hasn't come yet?"

   "Should it be almost here? It's about this time every month!"

   "I don't know how many silvertana I can pick up today!"

  Looking at the end of the horizon, the children discussed excitedly.

  However, outside the city gate, it wasn't the gathered children who attracted the most attention.

  The most eye-catching thing is a group of people standing on the side of the road.

  The gorgeous carriage is engraved with exquisite and complicated patterns, and the Black Eagle logo on the side is particularly eye-catching.

  Boys and girls in black and white uniforms stood respectfully, surrounded by a gorgeous umbrella, covering the scorching sun in the sky.

   Under the umbrella, a girl in a black and red Gothic dress is sitting on a temporary recliner, looking into the distance.

   Pedestrians coming and going can hardly take their eyes off the beautiful girl.

  Some traveling merchants who came to Boulder for the first time even couldn’t help asking their companions and guides about her origin:

   "Who is that beautiful noble girl? She has such a good temperament! Is she the daughter of some great noble?"

  However, they will often receive the disdainful expressions of their companions or Boulder residents:

   "Who is it? Don't you see the family emblem on the side of the carriage?"

   And when these traveling merchants noticed the logo on the side of the carriage, they soon showed surprise, and looked at the girl with curiosity, longing and yearning:

   "The double-headed black eagle...it turned out to be the Castel family! So, she is the Castel heir?"

   "Charlotte! She's Charlotte! The jewel of Castle, the richest maiden in Boulder!"

   "I heard that if anyone can marry her, it is equivalent to getting half of the Duchy of Boulder as a dowry! The wealth of the entire Star-Moon Lowland will be included in his arms!"

   "Hey, that's in the past. You don't know that Castel's heir is a devout holy believer. She has decided not to marry for life, and dedicated her territory to the church after returning to the Kingdom of God."

   "Hiss... Really? That's a pity!"

   "Dedicated to the church? Will the Duke of Boulder be willing? Will His Majesty the King be willing?"

   "Then I don't know, the matter of noble lords and priests is not our concern."

  Pedestrians talked a lot.

  Charlotte, who has a keen sense, also listened to everyone's discussions about her.

   "I'm really famous... There are so many people who care about me outside the city gate."

   She couldn't help laughing at herself.

  Beside her, Sebastian smiled and complimented, as always skillful:

   "Of course, honorable master, no matter where you go, your brilliance will make you the focus."

  Charlotte:  …

  She didn't pay attention to Sebastian's unnutritious flattery, but looked at the increasingly dazzling sunlight.

  Even if it is covered by an umbrella, the scattered light still makes her uncomfortable.

   Seemingly noticing the girl's discomfort, Quasimodo, who was standing on the other side, couldn't help but said:

   "Master, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In fact... there is no need for you to come to greet me in person."

   "It's okay, as the Patriarch of Castel, I feel that it is necessary for me to personally welcome the family knights who came from afar after inheriting the position of Patriarch."

  Charlotte said with a smile.

  Of course, the actual reason is that she is quite curious about the armored knights in the world of Myria. She has played many games in the previous life, but she has never seen it with her own eyes in reality.

  War horses and armor are also the romance of men!

  In the anticipation of the children, gradually, there is a faint billow of smoke and dust at the end of the horizon.

  The eyes of some older children suddenly brightened:

   "Come! Come! I seem to see the flag of Castel!"

  Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

  She looked in the direction of the smoke and dust, and soon saw a group of people at the end of her sight.

  The first thing that catches the eye is an armored knight wearing a black cloak, and the black horse under him is also armored, which is very powerful.

  Beside him, there were two armored knights with black eagle banners behind them, one on the left and one on the right.

  Further away, carriages full of goods, escorted by uniformly dressed armored knights, gradually appeared in the field of vision.

   "Here they come! Here they come!"

  The children cheered and ran towards the convoy excitedly.

  The Castel family’s convoy will throw reward money every time they enter the city, and they are all silver Tana, which is very attractive to them.

  Charlotte stood up unconsciously, also looking excitedly at the armored knight approaching.

  Knights!

  A knight from the realm!

   Belongs to her knight!

  After crossing, she has been alone for so long, building up her own forces little by little, and the moment she saw the convoy, she finally felt for the first time that she was really an earl lord...

   In the mighty, the convoy gradually approached.

  After seeing clearly the carriage of the Castel family in front of the city gate, and the blond girl surrounded by maids and waiters, the leading armored knight quickly looked serious.

  He patted the horse's back, and the black horse under him immediately accelerated, and quickly left the team and rushed to the crowd.

   Turned over and dismounted, the dusty armored knight knelt on one knee, saluted respectfully in front of Charlotte, and said in a deep voice:

   "Sharon...meet Miss Charlotte!"
