Tome of Blood

  Chapter 256-106-Second Level of Silver Moon

  After Charlotte gave the order, the meeting ended.

  The coalition forces were divided into two groups. Baron Sharon led 5,000 people northward, while the rest of the army was still stationed near Beigang for daily training.

   Training the armies of nobles is a must.

   Regardless of the fact that there are 30,000 people, most of them are conscripts brought by the nobles. They may only be peasants in the territory before taking up weapons. If they are not trained, their combat effectiveness is quite impressive.

  Of course, except for the standing army with extraordinary strength, most of the armies of this era are not bad.

  After the nobles left, Charlotte returned to the study in the Earl's Mansion, and after a while, Sebastian, who had been hinted in advance, also came in.

   "Master, what are your orders?"

  He came to Charlotte and asked respectfully.

   "I didn't seem to see anyone from the Viscount Roman-Fore family at the venue just now. What's going on with them?"

   Charlotte asked.

  In fact, she wanted to ask this question just now at the meeting.

   It's just that none of the nobles in the council hall talked about the viscount family who started as pirates, and Charlotte was so focused on thinking about the movement of the rebels that he forgot for a while.

   Sebastian looked strange and explained:

   "Master, I asked this question at the first noble meeting I convened, and the answer I got was a bit subtle..."

   "The Roman-Fauer family is relatively marginalized in Castel. They almost never participate in meetings in the territory, and they are also disliked by other nobles. Apart from paying vassal taxes regularly, they hardly communicate with any nobles."

  Charlotte froze for a moment, then frowned and said:

   "Never at a meeting? But they were at the dinners I gave before."

   Sebastian's expression became even weirder:

   "Master, this is also my strange point. To be honest, I thought they also chose to rebel."

   "However, they later sent envoys to visit the Earl's Mansion privately to ask to see you. After being declined by me, they left."

   "It's just that although the envoys of Roman Foer left, they also sent warships to help defend the North Harbor. If you look from the window sill, you should be able to see their black ship from the harbor..."

  After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte stood up decisively.

  She walked to the window sill and looked in the direction of the Beigang port in the distance. Sure enough, she saw several Carrack galleons with black sails cruising majestically on the sea level.

  The eyesight of the vampires is already excellent, and Charlotte's visual ability is far better than before. She can even see the busy sailors on the sailboat, and the stone-shooting cannons with dark muzzles on the side of the hull.

   "This family...is quite interesting."

   Retracting his gaze from a distance, Charlotte rubbed his chin and said.

  Sebas nodded:

"Yeah, after the hijacking of Nice, we even got news from the Mercenary Association that someone had seen the ships of the Romain-Fore family in Legris. Allied with the rebels."

   "However, I found out later that they went to Legris to look for you."

"This family... is a bit strange. Although they don't have a strong sense of belonging to the Castel Territory, they seem to care about you. If my guess is correct, after the news of your appearance spreads, they will say in a few days. Maybe their family will come."

  After listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte thought deeply.

  The Roman-Fore family was born as a naturalized pirate. They were already incompatible with the nobles of Castel, and even the family's roots were on the island.

   Not only that, their island used to belong to the Principality of Romania, and it is normal for the entire family to lack ownership of Castel.

  But hearing what Sebastian said, Charlotte recalled the intersection with this family at the dinner at the Earl's Mansion, and it seemed that the family's attitude towards her was indeed a little subtle.

  Of course, this does not mean that the other party has bad intentions.

  Even compared to having bad intentions, Charlotte feels that the other party's kindness seems to be more.

   You know, they were the first to point out the assassins in the Earl's Mansion.

   "Forget it, let's ignore them for now. Since sending a fleet escort, at least it has made a statement. Sebastian, I am a little curious about a question. Are you not worried at all about Nice being taken away?"

  Charlotte waved her hand, then asked curiously.

   Sebastian smiled and said:

   "I might have been worried before, but now that you're awake, I won't be worried anymore."

  Charlotte:  …

   "You are getting more and more proficient at shooting flattery."

   "Ashamed, I'm just telling the truth... Don't talk about Nice, as long as you return, Legolis' rebellion is nothing to fear!"

   "Okay, don't put a high hat on me, I have a task for you to do."

   Sebastian looked solemn:

   "Please tell me."

   "Go and check the merchant ships in the Earl of Tulip recently to see if there is anything wrong."

   Charlotte said.

  Sebas moved slightly in his heart:

   "Do you really doubt that the third prince will make a move?"

  Charlotte picked up the poured milk on the table and took a sip, saying:

   "Of course, that's the third prince who hired someone to ambush me at the risk of embarrassment. I have to be careful."

   Sebastian said worriedly:

"Master, if that's the case, the situation in Castel may be in danger. Although your power is strong, it is not convenient to show yourself in front of people, and relying on secular power alone... I am afraid that you will not be able to fight with Bold. The Principality contends."

  Charlotte smiled slightly:

   "When did I say I only rely on Castel's strength?"

"Um?"

  The corners of Sebas' eyes twitched, his expression moved slightly.

   However, Charlotte did not continue to explain:

   "Okay, let's go investigate the news of the Earl of Tulip, and... if someone from the Roman-Fur family comes, bring them to see me immediately."

  Although Sebas was a little curious, he finally saluted respectfully:

   "At your command."

   Sebastian took the task and left.

  Charlotte drank the sweet milk in the cup and let out a long sigh.

   A few months have passed since I woke up from this sleep, and my own territory is really a mess. When I just woke up, I was full of rebellion, which really made me feel dizzy.

   Fortunately, although she was caught off guard, she was not without countermeasures...

  The rebels may have the support of the Polder family and the third prince?

   All right, she also has chess pieces on the side of the Nice clan.

   Compared with the rebellion in her own territory, to be honest, Charlotte cares more about her "time travel" when she is asleep.

  That memory was too clear, so clear that it didn't look like a dream at all. Charlotte "woke up" again unexpectedly, and left no evidence to judge whether it was a dream or reality.

  The only thing that could become evidence is probably her nightgown that went back to the past along with time travel.

   It's just that after Charlotte woke up, she didn't find the nightdress she put on before going to bed.

  In the coffin, she was naked, without any clothes...

  At the beginning, she was taken aback, thinking that the clothes did not travel back together, but later she found that there was a layer of powder under her body that seemed to be burnt out, much like a disintegrated nightgown.

  Not only that, the moment Charlotte got up, the silk and velvet, the tranquilizing flower and the sleeping rose in the coffin all disintegrated in an instant.

  Charlotte didn't know whether it was related to her time travel or her successful promotion to the second level of Silver Moon, but she was really embarrassed when she came out of the coffin naked.

   It can only be said that fortunately, the sleeping place chosen was a secret room, and no human guards were arranged, otherwise... it would be embarrassing to think about it.

  However, regardless of whether the experience of the elf era was a dream or reality, there is one thing Charlotte is certain of.

   That is, after she woke up, she had officially stepped on the second level of Silver Moon and became a Viscount of Blood!

  Perhaps because of having the "Book of Blood", a plug-in that allows her to exert the power of the gods, the sense of joy and accomplishment brought to Charlotte by being promoted to Silver Moon is not as strong as she imagined.

  However, Charlotte can clearly feel that her physical fitness and magic strength have greatly improved.

  If it is possible for a superhuman at the starry rank to be attacked and killed by ordinary people using ordinary weapons, then the silver moon rank completely cuts off this possibility.

   Especially physical fitness.

   Not to mention that it is really invulnerable, but it is almost the same.

  The second level of Yinyue means the transformation of all aspects of physical fitness. The extraordinary power has strengthened the body to the limit and began to overflow. The source power released by the extraordinary knight and the magic power commanded by the mage like an arm all come from this way.

  What is reflected in the blood race is that the body and the magic power are completely integrated, which enhances the blood race's recovery ability to an incredible level.

   To make a sharper comparison, it would be that the current Charlotte's regenerative ability after physical damage can almost catch up with her when her bloodline ran amok before.

   As long as it is not a one-shot hit, she cannot be killed.

   This is a bit like the extraordinary knight who inspired the source power, but the recovery ability of the blood race is stronger than that of the extraordinary knight, not only that, but also has magic power that the extraordinary knight cannot master...

   Not only that, but with the promotion to Silver Moon, Charlotte's bloodline seems to have become stronger, and her connection with the "Sacred Code of Blood" has become closer.

  Even the divine power of blood in "The Holy Code of Blood" seems to have become easier to mobilize.

  Feeling the powerful force in her body, Charlotte was quite satisfied.

  Cheats are cheats after all, real strength is the foundation, and it is also the lower limit to ensure safety.

  However, the current Charlotte has no interest in finding a place to try new powers.

  Compared to this, she is more concerned about the situation in Nice now.

   There is no chance to verify the "time travel" during the deep sleep.

  Although he was puzzled, he could only put it aside for the time being.

   As the owner, Charlotte felt that she should still care about the life and death of that guy in Nice.

  Hmm... Although judging from the soul imprint, the other party should be alive and well.

  Thinking of this, Charlotte sank into consciousness, and communicated with the holy emblem of the servant's oath...
