Tome of Blood

  Chapter 56-56-Castell's old friend

  Charlotte did not expect that Nice, a cat, would actually do such a thing of reselling information.

   If you calculate the time, half a month ago, it should be when she was hospitalized in the mission hospital.

  This guy is really bold. As a cat of the church, he can actually pull the wool of the church, and he is not afraid of attracting the anger of the high priest.

  She decided to interrogate the other party after she got home, and beat her hard by the way, lest she would be betrayed one day in the future.

  The carriage continued driving and entered the outer urban area.

   This is the first time Charlotte has come to the outer city during the day, and I feel as if I have come to another era.

Dirty streets, rows of low houses, although better than the dilapidated old city, but most of the passers-by are dressed in simple and poor clothes, with disheveled faces, giving people the feeling that time has gone backwards by a hundred or two hundred. year.

  It is clearly separated from the inner city by a wall, but it is like another world.

  How should I put it, it feels like taking a bus in a previous life and crossing a culvert across the city, from a brand new and beautiful new city full of buildings to the old city full of urban villages and dilapidated buildings.

  If it wasn’t for the occasional luxury carriage passing by on the street, saying that she had crossed again, Charlotte would have believed it.

   "Master, are you going to visit the shop at home? I heard the news that you have fallen to the church. The servants at home have returned happily, and they should be working hard now."

   Sebastian said with a smile.

  Charlotte:  …

  She didn't believe that those shop assistants who ran away would come back by themselves, not to mention that it was impossible for her to fall to the church to spread so quickly in the outer city.

  She believed even more that those clerks were brought back by a pet inviter...

   "No, just leave it to Quasimodo, and we will go straight to the best servant market."

  Charlotte glanced at the sky that was about to clear up, and said.

"OK."

  Sebas nodded respectfully.

  The carriage continued to drive, and after about twenty minutes, it stopped in front of a remote old two-story building.

  Charlotte glanced at the small building, and saw a few words crookedly nailed on it with wooden boards: "Frank Employment Agency".

   "Employment agency?"

  The girl's heart moved slightly.

   "That's right, if you want to hire servants, you should come here. Although Frank's employment agency is not a big agency, it is a downline of our Rose Society, and it is one of our own."

   "This place is very secret, most people can't find it, not even your servant Mr. Quasimodo."

   "And here, you can hire any hired servant you want in Boulder, even a superhuman is not impossible!"

   Sebastian said proudly.

   After speaking, he paused again, smiled and said:

   "Of course, I think you can also choose servants directly from the Rosary Society, which is definitely more professional, stronger, and more loyal!"

   "No, just here."

  Charlotte shook her head.

  The servants of the Rosary Society have all been trained by Sebastian, which is not conducive to her training in majesty.

  She wants to personally form a team of servants who are loyal to herself.

   It's miserable to say the least.

  Obviously as the patriarch of a great nobleman and the heir to the earl title, he will return to the territory to farm in the future.

  But now, Charlotte has quite a few people who can use him.

   It's full of calculations, in fact, there is only one Quasimodo, plus the current Sebastian.

  Even the **** cat Niss who signed the life-and-death contract can only be regarded as half of his subordinates at most, after all, that **** batch thing is too unreliable.

   And Sebastian...

  Although they are respectful, they probably have their own goals and ideas to show their loyalty to her. The two seem to be one, but in fact there is no real bond formed.

  As for the Rosary, they are loyal to Sebastian, not her.

  For those who have already given their loyalty, they are no longer a blank slate, and the effect of the girl's prestige will be very limited, especially Sebastian's high prestige in the Rose Society.

  Charlotte doesn't need Rosaceians, but needs to find some real whiteboards.

  The kind of rough jade that she can paint freely and outline into her own shape!

  Especially the personal maid.

  She really wants and needs to train a few maids who can serve her personally, the kind of loyal maids who don't need to hide their blood identities in front of each other.

  The best, the other party is not only young and beautiful, professional and reliable, but also has extraordinary power...

   Of course, for now, Charlotte just wants peaches.

  Wild Transcendents have either been recruited by nobles a long time ago, or they have grown up and are used to being free.

   As for finding some first hugs...

  At present, Charlotte will not consider it, because it will increase the probability of her exposure.

   "Well, it depends on your needs."

   Seeing the girl decline, Sebas did not continue to fight.

  He motioned for the carriage to stop, put on his mask, opened the door, ordered the Asian maid to lay the carpet, and then walked down first, bowed and extended his hand gracefully into the carriage:

   "Master, please get out of the car."

   Looking at the demi-human maid who spread the red carpet to the entrance of the small building, Charlotte twitched the corners of her mouth.

  However, before she could walk down, a lame middle-aged man rushed out of the small building with a cane, and looked at Sebas who had disguised himself in a mask in surprise:

   "Master Sebastian, why are you here?"

   Sebastian: …

   "Sir, you have misunderstood the person. I am the master's housekeeper, Stian."

   Sebastian said gracefully.

   "Haha, stop joking! I can recognize your elegant demeanor even with a mask on, let alone a red carpet!"

  The man laughed loudly and pointed to the carpet on the ground with his crutches.

   Sebastian: …

  Charlotte looked at the Flame Elf strangely, but Sebastian coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said:

   "It doesn't matter, he is a member of our Rosary Society, even if I expose it, it doesn't matter."

   As he spoke, he said to the middle-aged man:

   "Frank, this is Miss Charlotte. From now on, I will be her housekeeper. Seeing her is like seeing me... no, more respect than when seeing me!"

   "You? Butler?"

  The middle-aged man was stunned.

   And when he saw Charlotte's appearance clearly and after that, he was suddenly in a trance, froze immediately, and couldn't help murmuring:

   "Like! So much like! So much like!"

   "Wait, the Black Eagle crest?"

  Seeing the badge on the carriage, the middle-aged man's eyes widened.

  His body began to tremble, and the whole person suddenly became excited:

   "You...you, are you the eldest lady of the Castel family? Lord Charlotte?"

   Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man knelt down with a plop, threw himself in front of the girl, and choked up excitedly:

   "It's you! It must be you!"

   "Lord Charlotte, it's me, do you still recognize me? I'm old Frank!"

   "I never expected to see you again in ten years!"

  Charlotte looked at Sebastian suspiciously, and Sebastian looked surprised:

   "Eh... I didn't arrange it, and I didn't figure out what happened."

   "However, Frank was taken in by me a few years ago. He used to be a mage, but the magic circuit has been abolished."

   "Frank has always been vague about his past experience, adhering to the principle of doubting people and employing people without doubting. I have never asked too many questions. Anyway, what our Rose Society lacks most is people with backgrounds."

   "Looking at it now...he may be an old friend of yours."

   "It's a battle mage! I used to be a battle mage of the Boulder mage group, and I have been following the earl and the countess! My wife was also the head maid of Castel Manor!"

   Frank said excitedly.

  Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

  The parents of the original body used to be the head and deputy head of the Boulder mage group. This lame middle-aged man said that he used to be a member of the mage group, so he might really be an old member of the Castel family.

  In addition, his wife was once the head maid of the manor?

  Charlotte carefully recalled the inherited memory, and found that a long, long time ago, there seemed to be a vague memory of the replacement of the head maid, but it was not too clear.

  But... how did they fall to the outer city and be taken in by Sebastian?

  Charlotte was a little curious and confused.

  She glanced at the citizens who gradually gathered in the distance to watch the excitement, and showed a reassuring smile:

   "Let's go into the room first, go in and talk slowly."

   Seeing the girl's innocent and warm charming smile, Frank was slightly stunned.

  But he reacted quickly, bowed his head respectfully, and said excitedly:

   "Okay...Okay! Mina will be very excited to see you, she will be very excited!"

  …

  Under the enthusiastic, anxious and excited leadership of Frank, Charlotte and Sebastian entered the two-story building.

What came into view was an old hall, a drowsy old servant was taking a nap at the door, and at the end of the hall was a bar counter, a man in his forties or fifties, with graying hair, but could vaguely discern the charm of his youth The woman was standing behind, smiling and introducing something to several guests.

  Behind her, a huge display board was covered with all kinds of servant information.

   On the dilapidated steps in the stairwell, two beautiful little girls in dresses are giggling and playing freely, accompanied by a beautiful girl in an old maid uniform.

  The girl in the maid uniform looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, with an outstanding appearance, and very fair skin.

  She has long black hair and a pair of rare black eyes, which makes Charlotte feel very friendly.

   It's just that although that beautiful face is delicate, it lacks vitality. It looks expressionless, like an iceberg.

  It gives people the feeling... like the cold and cold Sanwu beautiful girl in anime.

   "Mina! Mina! Look who's coming!"

   As soon as he entered the hall, the crippled Frank shouted excitedly.

  Hearing his voice, the two girls, the beautiful girl taking care of the girl, and the working woman turned their heads at the same time.

"dad!"

  The girls gave a sweet cry, and then threw themselves into Frank's arms like cheerful pigeons.

   "Father."

  The beautiful girl was slim and tall, and she saluted Frank gracefully, her movements were very standard.

  The voice is cold, with almost no mood swings.

  After speaking, she stood obediently on one side, looking at Charlotte and Sebastian with cold, vigilant and alienated eyes.

  The woman who was communicating with the guests was a little impatient.

  She put down the work in her hands and said coldly:

   "Frank, I've told you many times, don't make a fuss all the time and lose your manners!"

   However, when she saw Charlotte, her gaze quickly froze.

   With a "click", the document in her hand fell to the ground, and her whole body also trembled:

   "Master Catherine?!"

  But soon, the woman shook her head again:

   "No...not..."

   "But... she really resembles her!"

  Charlotte's heart moved.

  Catherine, is her aunt.

  Before she married into the Duke's Mansion, she also lived in the manor.

   "Master Charlotte! Mina, she is Lord Charlotte! Have you forgotten? She is our little master! She has grown up!"

   Frank said excitedly.

   "Lord Charlotte..."

  The woman was stunned.

   Then, suddenly excited:

   "It's you! It's you!"

   After finishing speaking, the woman dropped the work in her hand and rushed out, knelt down in front of Charlotte with a plop, choked with red eyes and said:

   "You are here! You have come to the outer city!"

   "Castel hasn't forgotten us! Castel hasn't forgotten us! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

   As he spoke, the woman burst into tears.

  …
