Tome of Blood

   "The Earl intends to control the magic defense system by himself?"

   "Is she crazy? Even President Layton can barely control it. No matter how talented she is, she can't maintain the entire magic shield in this state!"

   "What the **** is she thinking?"

   "In the beginning, she was the one who tried to maintain the shield with all her strength, and now she is also the one who is reluctant to weaken the shield. She...she is simply..."

   "It's just nonsense!"

   "Yes! Nonsense!"

   "Your Excellency Len Castell, don't you stop persuading the Earl?"

   "It's ridiculous to still hope in the gods!"

  Outside the mage's tower, the nobles talked a lot, and couldn't bear their dissatisfaction with Charlotte any longer, and poured bitter water on Viscount Len-Castel.

  Feeling the resentment of the nobles, Viscount Leon-Castel also had a headache.

  In all fairness, he also felt that the recent actions of his lord were simply incomprehensible.

  You say you want to protect civilians, but you don’t consider that the full deployment of the magic shield may lead to the collapse of the entire magic defense system of Beigang.

   You said that there are reinforcements, but until now, she has never said when the reinforcements will arrive, and what their strength is.

  The nobles were all kept in the dark, they didn't know anything, and they couldn't see hope at all.

   Seriously speaking, in Viscount Leon-Castel's view, this practice is simply consuming the trust of the nobles in her.

  He even had a feeling that Charlotte didn't seem to fully trust them even now.

   This also made Viscount Len-Castel very uncomfortable.

   You know, the nobles of Northport have all expressed their loyalty to Charlotte on the banks of the Dorne River.

   Being able to guard Beigang together also shows that everyone really supports each other.

  But the other party's approach is a bit chilling.

  In all fairness, doing this... is really easy to cause accidents.

  If it weren’t for Earl Gaston’s army stationed in Beigang, and if it weren’t for those extraordinary and standing suppressions, the old Viscount felt that some nobles might turn against him now!

  Of course, although he was also dissatisfied with Charlotte's actions, as a supporter of Castel, Viscount Len-Castell could only bite the bullet and wipe his ass:

   "Everyone, don't worry, the lord may have considerations from the lord..."

  Of course, such an answer cannot suppress the dissatisfaction of the nobles:

   "Considerations? What considerations will she have? In the final analysis, she is just a 16-year-old child!"

   "Yes! My lord Viscount, I admit that some time ago, my lord Earl's resolute measures are really admirable, but it doesn't mean that she won't make mistakes!"

   "That's right, the magic shield is an example, she sees everything too simply!"

   "Master Viscount... Mistakes in the war will be fatal! We can't gamble with everything!"

   "..."

  The nobles talked a lot and continued to complain.

  From the denial of Charlotte's approach, to doubts about Charlotte's ability, to pessimism and worry about the prospects of the entire war...

   Not only that, but what's more, they are even discussing whether the third prince who attacked Castel can be trusted.

   "Actually, I think... maybe the third prince is not as miserable as the rumors say..."

   "Yeah, he is a nobleman of the royal family after all, is it possible that he will really attack us after taking down Castel?"

   "The power of each of our families in Castel is deeply rooted. If he forcibly deprives us of our titles, the Northland will definitely be turned upside down!"

   "That's right, even the Earl didn't do anything to us, but just cleaned up those nobles who sheltered the blood!"

   "..."

  Listening to the increasingly outrageous arguments of the nobles, Viscount Leon-Castel's expression changed, and he reprimanded:

   "Enough! What are you talking about?!"

   "Even if the Earl is wrong, the third prince is not the master. Have you all forgotten the news that Earl Gaston brought?!"

   "Since we are here, we must work together to defend Beigang!"

   As he spoke, he glanced at the Mage Tower and said:

   "I will talk to the Earl again, and I will definitely persuade her to adjust her defense strategy."

   "Let's leave, everyone, perform their duties and protect Beigang."

   "Don't worry, everyone, there is still time..."

  After hearing what the old Viscount said, the nobles opened their mouths, wanting to say something else.

   But facing the unquestionable gaze of Viscount Leon Castel, they finally had to sigh and leave separately.

  Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, the old Viscount frowned slightly.

  Although he thought that the nobles would be dissatisfied with the lord's actions, the speed of this change still exceeded his expectations.

   Especially the attitude towards the third prince.

  The transformation of the nobles seems to be a bit too consistent, it is hard not to make him have some other associations...

   Shaking his head, the old Viscount turned to look at the Mage Tower.

   Taking a deep breath, he said to his eldest son Derek:

   "Go, go with me to meet the Earl, and then persuade her well."

  However, just as the old viscount took a step, the eldest son behind him stopped him:

"Father…"

  Len-Viscount Castel turned around suspiciously, but saw his eldest son's eyes flickering with hesitation on his face.

  The old Viscount frowned:

   "Derek, what's wrong?"

   Derek de Leon-Castel gritted his teeth and said:

   "Father, I think...you trust Charlotte too much."

   "Since Charlotte came to the throne, we, Leon-Castle, have been used as a gun by her..."

   "However, she never brought anything to our family."

   "Our family has done enough, I don't think she is a wise master, compared to her, maybe taking refuge in the third prince will..."

   "Enough! Shut up!"

  The old Viscount's expression changed, and he said angrily.

  The coercion released by the second level of Silver Moon enveloped Derek instantly, and Derek turned pale and quickly lowered his head.

  The old Viscount gave him a look of resentment, and said:

   "Derek, remember, our family is Leon Castel, not Leon!"

   "Any family can betray the Earl of Castel, but we... can't!"

   "This is the principle of our Leon-Castel family!"

"Do you understand?!"

  After hearing the old Viscount's scolding, Derek lowered his head silently.

  The old viscount sighed and said:

   "Forget it, you go down first, I will meet the Earl alone and persuade her to give it a try."

   "The Earl has never maintained a magic shield. She definitely can't do it alone. After she tries it and knows how difficult it is, she should listen to our advice..."

   Viscount Lien-Castel didn't finish his words.

  Because in the middle of his speech, he suddenly felt a powerful magic power coming from the direction of the mage tower.

The old Viscount was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked towards the mage tower, and saw a blue beam of light rising into the sky, instantly "hitting" the crumbling magic shield, and the next moment, the magic that enveloped the entire North Port The shield unexpectedly stabilized quickly.

  Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his expression full of astonishment:

   "God...God Lord! This...she...she did it?!"

   Let me explain.

   Some readers said that they didn’t see other people who were busy with weddings and ignored work. Indeed, most people can take care of both ends, but my situation here is a bit special.

  First of all, I am not full-time, but part-time. The time for coding is limited every day, and I am handicapped.

  Then, starting from October last year, I passively took on a long-term special work task that often required business trips, which lasted until May this year, further reducing the coding time.

Furthermore, the epidemic has backlogged many of our work tasks. After the epidemic is over, work has been busy. The colleagues in the office who are leading the way are pregnant and have babies. live.

  Due to the epidemic and work reasons, the decoration of the home has not been done well, and it is still being done recently, and it needs to be completed before the wedding.

For wedding-related work, because I was too busy and trusted acquaintances too much, I didn’t put in enough effort, which led to the first wedding overturned, and it was not reliable to find a wedding company. .

  My parents are not in good health recently, and they were hospitalized some time ago, so I can’t always bother them. Besides, my parents are in my hometown, and my wife and I are in the provincial capital. Many things for the wedding need to be decided by me and my wife.

   My partner is busier at work than I am.

  The wedding will be held at the end of April, and there is still one month left.
