Shaman from Afar

The long night will end, just like the dawn will come.

The flames that burned through the night were finally extinguished, but it was a pity that the originally towering Bayern Cathedral was almost left with a charred broken wall, and there was a scorched earth between the ruins, and the statue of Holy Cross with only coke in the early morning breeze The sound broke off and fell into the ashes.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, when the strong Charlotte walked into the ruins of the church, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

The scorched smell in the air disgusted her, and the scorched earth and ruins at her feet seemed to be laughing at her weakness, vases, and powerlessness, as if those remnants were ridiculous smiles;

The scorched earth and scorched arms under the scorched earth and the ruins seemed to be holding back her throat, and asked why she had not saved herself;

The holy cross sculpture that fell in the ashes was looking down at himself in a solemn manner, shouting loudly that he failed to fulfill his duty to protect the faith.

The priests and nuns persecuted by the heretics, the archbishop who died, the rebellious nobleman who fell under the sword of the knight, the collapsed cathedral ...

Everything is rebuking himself loudly, rebuking why Charlotte Turin failed to fulfill his responsibilities as Earl of the Red Blood Castle, and why he would shame the Turin family and rely on the strength of outsiders. Not to lose face? !

Why, why can't I do all this well and not be the head of the Turin family on a par with the ancestors of the past? !

With a flushed face, Charlotte's shoulders twitching with teeth clenched slightly, and her firm face left two slightly invisible tears ... She now has an inexplicable urge to destroy everything she sees!

But in the end she crouched down silently, lifting the fallen holy cross statue again, and fixed it on the burnt table with difficulty; she knelt down slowly in disregard of the dust and skirt on the ground, and prayed with her hands together.

Time seemed to stagnate at this moment, slowing down before dawn.

At this moment, there was a slow, even rhythm of footsteps coming from behind; the lightly breathing Countess opened her eyes calmly and got up to look back. Charles, who was looking like usual, bowed to her meticulously.

"count."

"Charles." Charlotte regained his shape instantly, nodding slightly: "Have you found him?"

"We found Lord Loren in the altar of the cathedral ... to be precise, he should have been found after Lusien and the wizard Ain." The butler nodded, and of course he knew who the earl was talking about.

"Really, how is it going?"

"Not so optimistic ... he was seriously injured, although there was no particularly obvious fatal injury, but I am afraid that he could not be recovered immediately-all the armor on the body was broken, the fever was not limited and very weak, it is difficult to imagine what he experienced What a fierce battle. "

Charles's eyes were a bit dim, and he sighed softly: "And so far, Lord Loren is still in a coma ... with no signs of waking up."

"What ?!" The count exclaimed subconsciously.

"Ah ... don't worry about this, according to the Miss Ariel and Wizard Ain Rand, this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation-it's just that the energy is severe and the body needs adequate rest ... … Well, this is the case. ”When it comes to this, even Charles himself has a strange expression.

Although it is not a superb medical doctor, but suffered such a serious trauma is actually just "loss of energy", and it is not the first time ...

Loren Turin ... Is he a human or a monster in human skin?

"Really?" Charlotte obviously also doubted: "They ... really said that?"

"There is absolutely no hypocrisy." Charles nodded slightly: "Although there is also some suspicion, but these two have a top knowledge of wizards, and they are friends of Lord Loren ... there should be no fakes."

"Probably." Thinking of Miss Ariel's attitude towards Loren, Charlotte couldn't help shaking her head for a while: "Now that the matter of the heretics has been resolved, the next thing is the problem in the Red Blood Castle."

"Red Blood Castle?" Charles frowned slightly.

"Do you disagree?"

"Dare not!"

"But you've shown it, don't pretend-that's not called loyalty, Charles." The countess snorted: "If even you become a caterpillar, then am I really like those rebel nobles said , An earl that should be overthrown? "

"Of course not!" The housekeeper said quickly: "I just feel that after the turmoil of the whole night yesterday, the people and nobles of the Red Blood Fort have reached the limit. I'm afraid to continue this way ..."

"Limit?" Charlotte interrupted him with a frown: "Do you think if I stop being strict and pretend that nothing has happened, can this thing pass?"

"At least let's cover it for a while to prevent the news of the destruction of Byrne Cathedral from spreading, it should not be ..."

"Impossible! The more this kind of thing is covered, the faster the news will wear." Charlotte looked dignified, glancing at the surrounding ruins: "A certain wizard can temporarily pretend to be lethargic, but our business has just begun. "

"In order to sweep the whole city and have no time to call for the army of the fiefs, I have sent the only guards in my hands-as a result, I have lost one-fifth of the news alone, and the real number is definitely more and more;"

"Even if martial law is organized and people who see the cathedral destroyed are still unknown, I am afraid that this matter will be known to all tomorrow night, and all the Holy Cross believers in Bain will know that the cathedral was destroyed in our hands. ! "

"What is the attitude of the priests of Quan Bain, and what is the attitude of the church of the Imperial Capital?"

Charles looked bleak and lowered his head.

Charlotte's tone was exhausted, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his voice: "There are also condemnations from the Counts of the Thirteen Lords of Byrne, the censure of the Sky Dome ... None can be dealt with at will."

"Not to mention there are still a group of people waiting to see my jokes, to see that the Turin family who lost the title of Duke will once again lose face in the face of the entire empire, no dignity at all; we have lost prestige and glory, we even I do n’t have at least the same status as the various duke families! "

"At that point, what else can be left in the Principality of Byrne, what else can be left in the Red Blood Castle, what the Turin family can do?"

At this point, there was a bit more bitterness in Charlotte's expression: "Maybe ... this will be a time when I will finally be called Earl of Red Blood Castle; at that point, even the family will have to Find a guy who can inherit the title from the side branch. "

"Absolutely not!"

Charles knelt on one knee, his trembling pupils faced the countess: "I swear in the name of the Holy Cross that you will always be the Lord of the Red Blood Fort, this will never change!"

"Really?" Charlotte smiled tiredly ~ www.readwn.com ~ Also nodded and looked at his butler: "Let us work together for this goal, Charles."

The calm butler's gaze was determined: "So ... do you have a plan?"

"It's just a preliminary idea, but ... it's my decision." The countess didn't change her face, as if she had restored her former majesty:

"First of all, we must not sit back and watch this matter known by the Sky Vault-let the Elder Knight return, I will write a letter to send him to the imperial capital, betray the Holy Cross by the Governor ’s House, causing the destruction of the cathedral It was originally conveyed to His Majesty the Emperor, and we must let the Sky Dome give us a statement! "

"Then ... an announcement to Quan Baine, as the Earl of the Red Blood Castle, I'm going to reconvene the round table." Charlotte, who looked calm, had no voice.

But Charles, who heard this sentence, widened his eyes and shuddered: "Count, you, shouldn't you want ..."

"Pressure to the Sky Dome? Of course they need to do this ... otherwise they will continue to bully us as if they were ordinary courtiers; in addition, even if I don't do this, don't other people have such a plan?"

Like asking yourself, and asking rhetorically, Charlotte calmly but decisively said: "Only the Turin family can hold a round table. This is absolutely ... it must be completely dismissed before others have this idea. Ambition! "
