Tome of Blood

  Chapter 50-50-Unlucky Stalker

  Is someone following?

  Charlotte's heart moved.

  She opened a gap in the curtain of the rear window and looked over, and sure enough, she saw a black carriage crashing behind in the dark.

  Close her eyes and use the perception ability of the blood race to perceive it. She opened her eyes, smiled lightly, and shook her head slightly:

   "It's okay, let them follow."

   Quasimodo hesitated.

  But looking back at the calm expression of his master in the carriage, he finally nodded and accelerated the speed of the carriage with a sound of "Ya".

  The carriage continued to drive.

  After turning the street and leaving the eastern city, the sound of fierce fighting came from behind the carriage.

   There were exclamations, screams, and the wailing of pack horses.

   Faintly, one can still feel a strong and extraordinary aura, like a violent torrent, like a raging tsunami, just the aftermath of magic power and coercion makes people tremble with fear.

   Quasimodo trembled slightly, and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but he heard the calm voice of his master:

   "Don't worry about it, keep going."

  The girl's voice is not high, but it seems to have a calming power.

  Thinking that his master has also awakened extraordinary power, he should be aware of it, the old servant nodded, took a deep breath and continued driving.

  The sound of fighting gradually disappeared.

  The night was quiet again.

   Quasimodo couldn't help but look back, and there were no followers behind his own convoy.

In the carriage, the beautiful girl leaned lazily by the car window, admiring the moonlight with one hand resting on her smooth and white chin, and playing with the empty goblet with the other hand, as if she never took what happened just now to her heart , had anticipated the development of things.

   Seeing her calm and composed appearance, as if everything was under control, an indescribable awe gradually rose in the heart of the old servant.

  He felt that his master seemed to have become more mature and mysterious since the disaster that night...

  She has her own judgment and her own ideas.

  It's also very possible... to have a power of its own in the dark.

  The old servant didn't know how the little master did it.

  But nobles with extraordinary power are mysterious and powerful in the eyes of ordinary people.

   Originally, he wanted to ask the girl why she wanted to turn to the church, but Quasimodo directly pinched her down.

  He is the servant, and the maiden is the master.

  Although she is still underage, the girl has gradually matured, and already has the ability and judgment of the head of the family.

  He didn't need to ask more questions.

  He only needs to trust his master unreservedly and carry out his orders unconditionally.

   Quasimodo's expression became more respectful and submissive, and his stooped waist gradually straightened.

   At the same time, the girl sitting in the carriage wondering if she could prepare a hidden compartment for a blood pack in the future was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but look at the old servant driving in front of her.

   Just at the moment when the other party looked back at her, pretending to calm down, her proficiency in the low-level prestige technique unexpectedly increased by a small amount inexplicably.

  Thinking if her old servant just made up something, Charlotte looked at the tree of inheritance and promotion in her mind for a while, and decided that after returning, she must upgrade the low-level prestige technique as soon as possible, and try to find a way to be promoted to the first level of stars early.

   No other.

  The fight just now, the extraordinary aura that emanates, each of them has entered the stage!

   is different from every previous crisis.

  The person who was staring at her this time was a real advanced transcendent...

   "The church can help me face the pressure from the duke and nobles, but in private, I still need to have the strength to resist possible cold knives."

   "A promise of the future, as well as the church's protection, will not completely make other people give up coveting, but will only make their actions more secretive, looking for my flaws."

   "I need to improve the prestige technique to perfection as soon as possible, and start extraordinary advancement!"

   "The best way to improve the prestige technique is to train servants. Using nobles to improve proficiency is not very effective. Today's harvest is not as good as training a maid at home for half an hour on weekdays."

   "Those young male nobles are better. The charm effect is good, but they are always surrounded by them... It is too unappetizing to look at them with that kind of presumptuous eyes."

   "However, the servants at home have already respected me enough under the prestige technique, and the effect of the training is getting worse..."

"Nineteen servants are barely enough to maintain the normal operation of the manor, but to take care of all aspects of the manor, we need more, especially these people are not rich in work experience... At least double the number, maybe tomorrow I can personally Go to the outer city to pick some newcomers."

   "In addition, I can also ask Sebastian to help me find some reliable superhumans to serve as guards of the manor..."

  Sitting in the carriage, Charlotte was thoughtful.

  Although Sebastian is still in the investigation period of the blood family, she has already begun to think about how to take advantage of the local snakes of the Rose Society.

   It's strange to say that even Quasimodo can help the girl's Majesty to improve, but Sebas, who is like a dog, can't, which makes Charlotte quite puzzled.

   It can’t be said that as soon as the other party meets in reality, the awe of her will be capped immediately, right?

  The next journey will be very safe.

   Until returning to Castel Manor, there were no more accidents.

   Under the service of the maid, Charlotte changed out of the dress, freshened up, and then put on a simple black dress.

  She didn't go to sleep directly, but came to the backyard of the manor, and waved away all the servants.

  At night, the cool breeze blows, and the trees in the backyard garden rustle.

  The girl stood in front of the steps, gracefully took a sip of the animal blood she had prepared in advance with a goblet, and looked at the darkness in the distance with her eyes that turned from blue to scarlet:

   "Come out, I'm home."

   As soon as the voice fell, a ghostly figure emerged from the darkness, and came in front of Charlotte in an instant.

  Even though she was mentally prepared, Charlotte was taken aback, and almost lost the goblet in her hand.

   "Great and beautiful Lady of the Night! Your humble servant Sebastian is always ready to offer you his heart and loyalty!"

  In front of the girl, wearing a monocle, white gloves, and a black tuxedo, Sebas the Flame Elf bowed gracefully with a respectful and fanatical expression.

  Hearing the shameful name "Lady of the Night" that she chose at will, Charlotte twitched the corner of her mouth slightly:

   "Just call me Charlotte."

   "Okay! Honorable and beautiful Lord Charlotte! Thank you for granting the humble Sebas the glorious right to call your holy body by its real name!"

  Sebas saluted gracefully again.

  Charlotte:  …

  She reluctantly skipped over the flame elf who had achieved great licking skills, and looked behind him.

  There, four comatose Transcendents were lying crookedly, stacked up like arhats.

   Obviously, the fight behind the carriage just now was done by Sebastian.

  The other party has been quietly following along the way, without deliberately avoiding Charlotte, and even actively exposed his aura when Charlotte was probing.

  So...Charlotte doesn't really care about stalking.

  She looked at the stalker who was caught by Sebastian. These people were all wounded, and the four faces were almost turned into pig heads. I'm afraid they didn't even recognize their parents when they came.

  Among them, two looked like free mercenaries in clothes, and the other two...

Um?

and many more…

  This familiar black robe...

   Demon Hunter Knight?

  Charlotte was stunned.

  Noticing the girl's gaze, Sebastian quickly stepped aside and said respectfully and enthusiastically:

   "Honorable and beautiful Lady Charlotte!"

   "These people dare to spy on and follow the great you in the dark! How abominable!"

   "The humble Sebastian has taken them all down, and preliminarily verified their identities! Waiting for your disposal!"

   "Among them, these two are first-rank Fanxing free mercenaries, but after Sebas' inspection, they have accepted the First Embrace and become baron-level vampires, with the logo of the Gorefiend Cult on their bodies!"

   "The remaining two are the witcher knights of the church, belonging to the Boulder Demon Hunting House. They also followed you furtively, and never took their eyes off your carriage!"

  Looking at Sebastian, who looked respectful and expectant, like a big golden retriever who only longed for praise and recognition, Charlotte fell silent.

  Her eyes fell on the two familiar faces of the witcher knights, and after a long time of careful identification, she found that one of them was so swollen that it turned out to be an acquaintance, the leader of the witcher knights, Chatham.

  Charlotte:  …

   "Is there a possibility...they were specially sent by the church to protect me secretly."

  The girl paused and spoke slowly.

   Sebastian: …

  Charlotte:  …

   Both of them were silent at this moment.

   Sebastian's smile was a little unnatural.

  He looked at the girl with an inexplicable expression, then at the two demon hunter knights on the ground who had been beaten half to death, stretched out his foot and kicked their buttocks, laughed dryly, and said:

   "No... all right... right? I hit faster and harder, they didn't see who I was, and I'm still dizzy..."

  Charlotte:  …

   "Eh...how about...I send them back right away?"

  Sebas asked cautiously.

   "Hmmmmm..."

  A demon hunter groaned, as if he was about to wake up.

  Sebastian kicked him hard again almost subconsciously, knocking him unconscious again.

   "Ahem...it's okay, he can sleep a little longer now."

   Glancing at the girl whose eyes were twitching, Sebastian said with a guilty conscience.

  Charlotte:  …

   "Take care of yourself, don't trouble me, including other people's medical expenses!"

   she said coldly.

   "Got it! Got it! I'll send them back in a minute..."

  Sebas nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

   After finishing speaking, he kicked the two of them vigorously, and immediately met the girl's strange gaze, and quickly explained with a dry smile:

   "Eh... let them sleep a little more, so as not to wake up too early..."

   "It's okay... I will pay the medical expenses."

  Charlotte:  …

  She suddenly felt as if she had summoned a strange creature...

   Silently apologized to the unlucky Captain Chatham in her heart, and Charlotte straightened her expression.

   Glancing at the two blood clansmen of the Gorefiend Cult who passed out, she looked solemn and said:

   "I have something for you to do."

   Did you all drive Sumeru... Why is it so deserted today?

Speaking of one thing, starting from tomorrow, I will participate in an eight-day closed training in my unit. The time for coding is very limited. I will still try to do as much as possible in each chapter, but my energy and time are limited. Please bear with me a bit.

   In addition, continue to read and ask for a monthly pass!
