Tome of Blood

  Chapter 169-19-Elves also discriminate?

  The next morning, outside Beigang City.

   Putting on an aristocratic outfit suitable for going out, Charlotte sat in the carriage, watching the street view of Beigang outside the window with relish.

  On the clear waterway, ships slowly pass by, and the streets of the ancient city on the shore are bustling with pedestrians.

  Occasionally, melodious bells can be heard coming from afar, startling a burst of seagulls.

  Not to mention how the Church of the Holy King's Court has declined here, the bell at this fixed time is still quite punctual.

The majestic castle in the distance, the quietly flowing canal nearby, all kinds of Gothic buildings stretching along both sides of the waterway, plus the pedestrians' costumes that are obviously much more avant-garde than Boulder...Charlotte Suddenly, there is really an illusion of returning to the Venice of the early Renaissance in the film and television.

She originally thought that it would be more high-profile if she still wore aristocratic clothes, but she took a closer look at the pedestrians coming and going in Beigang, good guy... It turns out that the textile industry here has become so powerful that even the clothes of ordinary citizens can compare with Boulder the degree of country nobility.

  Although Boulder was originally considered a relatively poor principality in the kingdom, this is enough to explain many problems.

  Thanks Castell Silver Mine.

   Not only brought a lot of wealth to Beigang, but also unlimited business opportunities and capital for primitive accumulation.

  This place is not only rich, but also has a large population. There are also a large number of immigrants from all over the world. The labor force is also sufficient. It is simply the place of choice.

  If it were placed in Blue Star, it would be too frighteningly suitable for industrial innovation, and it would definitely be the origin of new trends of thought.

  Even if there is extraordinary power in the world of Miria, Charlotte feels that it is not impossible to change a magical version of the magic revolution.

  The wind was blowing, Xiao Jing watched, Charlotte waited boredly, thinking wildly by the way, and the melodious and beautiful music almost set off the atmosphere.

  It wasn't until the familiar figure of Sebastian appeared in the field of vision that Charlotte cheered up and signaled Shirley beside her to open the carriage door.

   Sebastian smiled and said thank you to Shirley, then gracefully got into the compartment with enough space for four people, and sat down opposite Charlotte.

  As for Nice, he also jumped up.

   It first looked at Charlotte's leg, then at Shirley's leg, and after weighing the pros and cons, it finally jumped obediently onto Lena's lap opposite Shirley.

  Leina was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stroked Nice's head, making the fat cat show an extremely comfortable expression.

  Charlotte gave it an odd look.

  But noticing Reina who was also relaxed after holding the black cat, she finally sighed and slowly looked away.

   "How? All done?"

  Looking at the relaxed Sebastian opposite him again, Charlotte asked.

  Sebas was about to speak, but Nis, who was being pushed by Reina, spoke triumphantly first:

   "Hey, of course it's all done! Lord Charlotte, don't you look at who made the move, I'm Nice, those guys have to be found out no matter how deep they hide!"

  However, Sebastian unexpectedly did not quarrel with Nice this time, but nodded:

   "Yes, as you judged, Your Excellency Nice is indeed quite sensitive to the smell, those secret people are not bad, all of them were **** by us and thrown to the gate of the city hall."

"town Hall?"

  Charlotte raised her eyebrows.

   "Yes, I briefly interrogated them. They are all sent by nobles in the territory to stare into your eyes and monitor your movements. It is most suitable for such people to be handed over to the city hall."

  Sebas said respectfully.

  Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she heard this:

   "As soon as I arrived in Beigang, I sent people to watch me. It seems that the nobles in Castel are also a bit tricky..."

   "Hey, we've already told that chubby city magistrate, and you'll see a detailed list after we return."

  Nice laughed.

   "That's right, let Madoc have a headache about this matter, just to see if he is really loyal to me."

  Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.

  Let’s say that Charlotte, who has a keen sense, sensed that someone was watching her when she finished her meal this morning and was about to leave for the eastern mine.

   And, not less.

  So, she stopped and sent Sebastian and Nice to find out these guys one by one.

  Sebas is the MAX of force value except for the liberation of her true ancestor, and she is invincible in the Castel Territory without the blazing sun.

   As for Ness the Black Cat…

  After experiencing the witch Anna, Charlotte unexpectedly discovered that this guy's perception is terrifyingly strong, which is completely different from its Schrödinger's hip-pull strength, but it is very suitable as a cat-shaped detector.

  So, a cat and a dog cooperated under the command of the owner, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it is surprisingly good.

"Okay, now that there are no more flies, let's go, walk faster, just in time to have dinner in the mining area. Remember, these days our identity is from the Moonguard Principality to Castel to do Mithril business Nobility, and my name is Agnès de Broglie."

  Charlotte smiled.

  Castel collars are most commonly used by caravans and nobles who come and go for business, and such identities are the most suitable for hiding.

  Charlotte even prepared an aristocratic sun hat that can cover her face, which can not only block her true face, but also block the sun.

  After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian smiled slightly, and saluted gracefully:

   "Then...Miss Agnès, I am your butler Lachel."

   "I'm Lisa the maid."

   Shirley said coldly and simply.

   As she spoke, she looked at Reina on the opposite side again:

   "You are the maid... Liya."

  Reina looked at Charlotte, then at Shirley across the way, tilted her head ignorantly, and nodded obediently.

   "Hey, Lord Charlotte, then I am your coachman Cole."

  In front of the carriage, there was a male voice who was eager to try. Rand was the only one among the knights guarding Charlotte who had set foot on the stars.

  Sebas, Ness, Shirley, and Lena, the blood of the king on Charlotte Road, plus the young knight Rand who is in charge of driving, is the lineup for Charlotte to go to the eastern mining area this time.

  Among them, Sebastian and Nice must be brought along. As for Shirley...it's because she is so good at serving as a maid, and Charlotte, who is increasingly depraved, can't help but want to bring her with her to do things.

This time, Charlotte estimates that it will take at least three days, and it may need to involve further disguise and lurking in the middle. Considering that her own skill points in this area are almost useless, and Sebastian is For men, it's normal to have a reliable maid by your side.

As for Reina... This girl who is probably the last royal descendant has been depressed since Anna disappeared. Charlotte was worried about leaving her alone in the Earl's Mansion, so she simply took her with her. Let's relax.

However, although he was distracted, this man's force value is also good. When the undead attacked, he also helped the team fight against the undead. He is also an advanced person, and his real strength may even be no less than that of Xia who was not liberated by the true ancestor. lot.

   As it turned out, her choice was not bad. After coming out together, Reina obviously relaxed a lot, especially when she was hugging the perverted cat Nice.

  Although Charlotte doubted that the black cat would eat tofu, she was a little surprised that when she got along with Lena, Niss, who had always been daring, was quite honest.

  So Charlotte turned a blind eye and closed it.

  As for Rand...just because Charlotte needs a coachman, and his strength is the strongest among the followers.

  Carrying Charlotte and his party, the carriage set off quickly, heading east towards Castelland.

  The Castel mining area is located on the eastern border of the Castel Territory, adjacent to the Northern Grand Duchy.

  Different from most areas of the earldom, there are not plains, but low mountains and hills.

  Of course, it is said to be east, but compared to Beigang in the north, the orientation is southeast.

  The distance between the mining area and Beigang is not too far, because there are often caravans coming and going, and a spacious and flat official road has been built, which is very suitable for horse racing. It only takes one day to drive faster.

  Charlotte and his party set off in the morning, and at dusk, they arrived at the main settlement in the mining area—Silver City.

  Silver Mining City, as the name suggests, is a city developed from silver mining. It used to be just a station for miners, but today it has already formed a medium-sized city with a population of about 70,000.

  There is a tall city wall guarding the city, 12 meters high. It is said that it was built to prevent the invasion of the Northern Grand Duchy in the northeast.

  Different from Beigang, which has a Renaissance style and petty bourgeois sentiment, Mining Silver City is more rough and has a steampunk feel. Various metal workshops can be seen everywhere, and even abandoned mines can be seen in the city.

  Here, the races of people are unexpectedly diverse. Charlotte not only sees humans, but also elves, dwarves, orcs and demihumans.

   Among them, most of the elves and dwarves are artisans, and most of them have aloof status. Orcs and demihumans are relatively low. Many are miners, some are hired, and some are simply slaves.

   "Xia...um...Master Agnes, where are we going next?"

  Rand stopped his horse, looked at the dazzling street, and asked respectfully.

  Charlotte and Sebastian exchanged glances:

   "Has the message been sent?"

   "It has been sent."

   Sebastian replied respectfully.

   "Where is the location?"

   "The Metasequoia Hotel, Luf said that it is the best hotel here, and it is also the place where most caravans and nobles stay."

  Charlotte nodded, and then said to Rand who was driving the car:

   "Go to Metasequoia Hotel."

  …

  Rand was driving the carriage, asking passers-by for the way and hurrying. After about ten minutes, he stopped in front of a hotel with a distinct elf style.

   A group of people got out of the car, Sebastian stood beside Charlotte as the butler, Shirley and Reina in maid uniforms stood behind her from left to right, and at the end was Rand who served as an attendant.

  As for Niss, he jumped out of Reina's arms, walking on the other side of Charlotte as if fighting Sebas.

  The interior decoration of the hotel is also a natural elf style. After Charlotte and his party entered, an elf host greeted them with a smile, and went straight to Charlotte, who was obviously the owner, and asked respectfully:

   "This guest, stay or dine?"

  Charlotte withdrew her gaze from looking around curiously, motioned Sebas to respond, and Sebas stepped forward, smiling and saying:

   "Stay and book a private room at the same time."

  The elf host couldn't help but looked at his outstanding appearance, and nodded slightly.

   Sebastian covered his ears today and was not recognized as an elf.

  The accommodation procedures were completed quickly. It is a suite exclusively for nobles. There are many subdivided rooms in it. There are five bedrooms in total, one master and four times.

  Charlotte has a master bedroom alone, Sebastian, Shirley, and Reina each have a second bedroom, and Nice and Rand share a second bedroom.

  Nice:…

   "Target me! Sebastian, you are targeting me!"

  It is full of anger.

   "Be content, as a cat, you can still sleep in the bedroom."

   Sebastian smiled authentically.

   "Discrimination! You are discrimination!"

  The black cat blows its beard and stares.

   Rand looked at Nice with a smirk, scratched his head and said:

   "Lord Nice, don't worry, I don't snore at night."

  Nice:…

   After packing up and saluting, the group went to eat.

  The dinner is also a typical elf style. There is almost no meat, and there is only one meat dish, but the overall taste is excellent and the production is exquisite.

  Charlotte likes the mead brewed by elves very much. It reminds her subconsciously of the pineapple beer she drank in her previous life, but it is cooler and more delicious.

   Two maids and a knight feast.

  However, Charlotte didn't eat too much, but just tasted it.

  The same goes for Sebastian.

   After everyone finished eating, Charlotte said to the two maids and a knight:

   "Let's go out and look around first, next... Sebastian and I have guests to meet."

   Neither Lena nor Rand has really entered Charlotte's inner circle, and Shirley...hasn't made up her mind to become Charlotte's family, so naturally there is still a layer of separation.

   After getting the order, several people respectfully left, and Charlotte let the hotel serve food again.

  Niss also stayed. Although this guy is not popular, but as Charlotte's contract servant, he is still a member of the inner circle.

   Two people and one cat waited like this until about fifteen minutes later, the room was rang.

  With her keen perception, she sensed the identity of the visitor, and Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

  She smiled slightly and said:

   "Come in."

  The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall and burly figure came in hurriedly.

   It is none other than Boulder's leader of the sub-human tribe who believes in the true ancestor, the werewolf Luf.

   Besides, two months ago, the werewolf tribe received an oracle from the "True God" and headed north to Castel. At the same time, Charlotte, as the owner of the Rose Society, gave Luf the task of investigating the silver mine.

  To this day, I must have gained something.

  Different from Boulder, at this moment he was dressed in a rough miner's attire, looking quite heroic and vicissitudes.

   "Lord Charlotte, Lord Sebastian, I'm sorry...I'm late, and I was delayed at the bar for a while."

  He smiled honestly and said embarrassedly.

  Charlotte was a little surprised:

   "The bar won't let you in?"

   "Eh... those elves initially regarded me as a demi-human slave in the mining area."

  Luf scratched his head helplessly.

  Charlotte's expression suddenly became a little strange.

  She couldn't help but glanced at Sebastian:

   "Elves also discriminate?"

  Sebas spread his hands:

   "No, many elves with arrogance as their tradition almost discriminate against anyone except elves and anyone who has beauty comparable to elves."

  Charlotte:  …

  She glanced at Lu Fu's big face with deep scars and thick hair, which didn't look like a stubble, and silently looked away.

   Coughed lightly, she said:

   "Your Excellency Luf, thank you for your hard work. I would like to ask about the issue of the Castel Silver Mine. How is the investigation going?"

  Luf looked solemn:

   "Lord Charlotte, there is a problem with Castel Silver Mine..."

   Push your friend's book! Vera wrote it! "I Invented at Hogwarts"!

   Introduction:

   After Rigg joined Hogwarts, the pressure came to Azkaban.

   When Voldemort escaped, he was knocked down by a super electromagnetic gun from Harry Potter.

   "Rig, this is much better than a magic wand!"
