Chapter 208-58-Pretend to surrender, and fight back in the future!
Meditation Room, Earl's House of Castres.
Agnes, who had changed into a brand new maid uniform, fiddled with the hem of the lace skirt unaccustomed.
She obviously has a cute face, but at this moment she has a stiff expression, which makes people suspect that she will jump up at any time and directly tear off the black and white headdress with the Castel coat of arms and throw it on the Then he stepped on the ground hard a few times.
Also changed into a Castel-style knight uniform, but the middle-aged knight Lahair, who still stubbornly hung the Willett coat of arms on his chest, looked at his eldest lady, hesitating to speak.
"What's the matter? Rachel, do you have anything to say?"
Agnes glanced at him and said.
The middle-aged knight scratched his head:
"No, it's nothing, it's just... you just rejected the Earl of Castel's invitation so righteously just now, I thought you really planned to continue to fight her, but I didn't expect... well, you changed so quickly Got an idea."
Agnes: …
The girl's expression was a little unnatural, she pursed her lips and said:
"I just suddenly figured it out. Even if I refuse her invitation, I will just continue to be imprisoned by her, and as long as I am imprisoned by her, I will never be able to get ahead..."
"Rather than this, or pretend to surrender first..."
"Charlotte de Castel can activate the encryption crystal of the Ness clan. She definitely has a big secret, and even...we don't know whether she is the real Charlotte."
"Facing this kind of enemy whose strength is much higher than ours and who has a secret on him, since we can't beat it, we might as well pretend to join her and lie dormant for a while, looking for her weaknesses while accumulating our own strength."
"We have no way to fight her now, but I don't believe she is flawless! As long as we spend enough time, we will be able to find her secret!"
"Wait until we dig out her secrets, wait until we find her weakness, wait until the right time... Let's defeat her with one move!"
"Just like when we endured humiliation and fought against Earl Hall!"
"At that time, I must let her taste the suffering our Willett family has experienced!"
Agnes gritted her teeth and said.
The girl looked excited, but the middle-aged knight on the side showed a pensive expression, hesitating to speak.
Agnes glanced at him:
"Rachel, what else do you want to say?"
Lahaier hesitated for a moment, and said after considering the words:
"Miss, I'm thinking about a question."
"Count Castel is different from Earl Hall. She has many followers and even a large area of rich territory. She also knows that we once killed Earl Hall. She also looks more serious than Earl Hall. Be calm, at least not have the arrogance of Earl Hall's high-ranking vampire..."
"In this case, even if she accepts our 'surrender', she will definitely never let her guard down."
"Our every move is probably still under her surveillance..."
"Not only that, after seeing her this time, I always feel that her aura seems to be stronger than when I saw her for the first time. I doubt if she has some means to improve her strength."
"I am a little worried... I am worried that as time goes by, the gap between us and her will not only not be shortened, but will gradually widen. Not to mention anything else, it will be difficult for us to fight against her just by completely controlling the territory as time goes by. will multiply.”
"In this case, can we really find a chance to fight back?"
After listening to the middle-aged knight's words, Agnes clenched her fists slightly, her expression uncertain.
After a moment, she said:
"I don't believe that there are flawless people in this world, and I don't believe that her power and influence will continue to grow endlessly..."
"The blood race has always been known for being difficult to improve its strength, and it will definitely fall into a deep sleep when it is promoted. She is just a star now, not even a silver moon. We will definitely have a chance in the future!"
"Not to mention that we are already a blood race. The most important thing a blood race needs is time. We can afford to wait, and we can also afford to waste it. If one month is not enough, it will be two months. Years, two years, three years..."
"If we continue like this, we will always be able to find her flaws when she falls into a deep sleep!"
Agnes became more and more determined as she spoke, and her expression changed from hesitation at the beginning to firmness at the end, as if she was convincing herself.
However, the expression of the middle-aged knight Lahair still showed hesitation.
He was silent for a long time, then sighed:
"Miss...Actually, if I think about it carefully, her proposal is not completely unacceptable to us."
"Our goal from the very beginning was to revitalize Willett. If she can really help us revive the family, reconciliation with Castel is actually an option."
"You're right, we are blood, we can afford to wait, but our lost relatives are not, maybe they still remember Willett's name, but after one generation, two generations, I will gradually forget that even Willett's bloodline may be cut off at that time..."
"There is no unresolvable enmity between the nobles. Although the Castel family did not act according to the plan and caused us to lose, it was His Majesty the King who finally deprived us of our titles."
"Although the Duke died in the first Roman battle, it was not entirely because of the defeat on the frontal battlefield, but was attacked by Legend of the Fallen Star during the retreat..."
"Compared to obsessing about revenge all the time, maybe it's better for us to let go of everything and focus all our experiences on revitalizing the family."
After listening to Rachel's words, Agnes' expression changed immediately.
She hammered the table angrily and said:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Castel is Willett's enemy, there is absolutely no way we can reconcile, absolutely not!"
"Lahaier, don't say such things in the future! Remember! Even if we surrender temporarily, it is still dormant! Today's enduring humiliation is to turn defeat into victory in the future!"
"Rebuilding the family is as important as revenge!"
Looking at the girl's unwavering expression, the middle-aged knight sighed:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Let's not mention this for now, Rachel, the Earl of Castel suddenly wants to recruit us, what do you think is going on?"
Agnes waved her hand and asked.
La Haile thought for a while and said:
"Since she mentioned pretending to be Earl Hall, it may have something to do with the interrogation crystal. When I just came out of the cell, I saw many nobles who were imprisoned, as well as several consuls from Beigang. I am afraid it was when we were imprisoned. In the past few days since I woke up, something happened to Castel."
Agnes nodded:
"I think so."
After thinking for a moment, she said:
"The plan of the Ness clan at the banquet must have failed. Not only that, the little Earl of Castel probably used the dinner to find out many of their people. Perhaps... this time, like the previous few times, The Ness clan activated the communication crystal in advance."
Speaking of this, Agnes' eyes flashed:
"La Haile."
"I'm here, miss."
"Earl Castel still doesn't know that you and I can activate the communication crystal alone. In this case, if she wants us to pretend to be Earl Hall, we will tell her that both of us must participate."
"We all participate?"
"Yes, as usual, you are responsible for disguising Earl Hall, and I am responsible for maintaining the operation of the crystal..."
Lahaier's heart moved slightly:
"what do you mean…"
Agnes narrowed her eyes:
"Charlotte dared us to disguise our identities. I am afraid that there is a way to prevent us from revealing secrets to the Ness clan during the meeting..."
"Although I don't know what method she will use to spy on us, but the working principle of the communication crystal is the remote connection of the spirit. Even if she knows that you, pretending to be Earl Hall, will be a participant of the meeting, she will never think of the crystal. The operator can also open the spiritual channel privately and communicate secretly!"
La Haier's heart skipped a beat:
"Do you want to contact the Ness clan?"
Agnes nodded:
"That's right, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Although I don't think the insidious blood descendants of the Fallen Star Kingdom are trustworthy, we have the same goal in dealing with Castel."
"I believe that they should and will not reject a 'friend' who can secretly provide them with information on Castel."
As she spoke, Agnes laughed and said:
"Rachel, you are worried that the gap between Earl Castel and us will widen over time, but what if we are behind you?"
Looking at the slightly bright eyes of his own lady, Lahaier hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say.
To be honest, with previous experience, he is not optimistic about his lady's plan.
He always felt that the Earl of Castel was very evil, and there was really no way to completely prevent them from contacting the Ness blood clan privately.
At this moment, the door of the meditation room was pushed open with a creak, and Charlotte, dressed in a meditation suit, walked in gracefully.
The girl and the knight immediately fell silent.
Charlotte smiled and looked at the two who put on the maid uniform and knight outfit, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Not bad, it fits well."
Looking at her eyes as if admiring a fun toy, Agnes pursed her lips and hardened her fists.
"Your Excellency, I wonder why you brought us here?"
Lachel stood in front of Agnes and asked in a deep voice.
Charlotte didn't keep her secret, but took out the flickering communication crystal:
"The communication crystal of the Ness clan has responded. They seem to be summoning people for a meeting in advance. I want to go to the meeting place with you to have a look."
One...together?
The girl and the knight were stunned at the same time.
"Do you... also want to operate the communication crystal?"
Agnes couldn't help asking.
"Me? No, of course it's up to you to operate. I'm just a bystander."
Charlotte shook her head.
Bystander?
Agnes was even more puzzled.
She and Rachel looked at each other and said:
"It's okay to assist you in disguising your identity, but... to ensure the effect, we need one person to operate the crystal and one person to disguise our identity as before!"
"Can."
Charlotte nodded.
So straightforward?
Agnes couldn't help but glance at Charlotte.
Until now, Charlotte has not shown what method she will use to prevent the two from leaking the secret while disguising their identities. This did not reassure the girl, but made her hesitate.
You know, Charlotte didn't even sign a contract with them!
However, the matter has come to this point, Agnes has nothing to hesitate.
She and Lahair made eye contact, nodded secretly, and began to reach out and put her hand on the communication crystal, and began to inject magic power to activate it.
The familiar power began to spread from the crystal ball, which was a verification of the power of the blood.
Gradually, the crystal ball glowed with a dreamy gleam, and Agnes felt that her spiritual power was connected to the crystal ball.
The connection is successful!
Agnes cheered up.
"It has been activated, Lahaier is ready to join the membership."
She glanced at Charlotte secretly and said, while secretly preparing to open the secret spiritual channel.
However, at this moment, Charlotte interrupted the actions of the two:
"Wait a mininute."
She smiled slightly and closed her eyes.
And when she opened her eyes again, the blue eyes had turned into red gold.
A terrifying spiritual force suddenly erupted from her body, and in Agnes's horrified gaze, the crimson brilliance swallowed up the entire world in an instant.
Agnes felt dazed for a while, and the world spun in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the sky collapsed, the solemn black stone wall rose from the ground, and the steps continued to rise in the crimson mist...
In an instant, Agnès found herself in a majestic castle, while Charlotte was sitting on a majestic throne of blood, and the uniform on her body was also transformed into a painting with thorns and roses. She was wearing a gorgeous black dress with patterns, her blond hair had also turned into silver, and her height seemed to be a little taller.
The communication crystal floated in mid-air, but it looked a little illusory, not like an entity, but more like a projection, while Agnes and Lahaire still kept touching the crystal.
Feeling the spiritual power that seemed to be everywhere around her, Agnes widened her eyes, her expression full of disbelief:
Spirit world!
This is the spiritual world!
She was pulled into the spiritual world by the other party!
Damn it, what is the origin of this little earl, why can he directly pull people's consciousness into his own spiritual world? !
This... Isn't this what legends can do? !
No, no, no... just being able to construct such a real spiritual world is already outrageous!
She-she-she...is she really just a star? !
What a ghost to have private contact with the Ness clan!
Looking at Charlotte sitting high on the throne with a half-smile, Agnes looked wonderful.
As the daughter of a legendary powerhouse, she is no stranger to the knowledge of the spiritual world.
In the spiritual world, any small action of an outsider will be invisible, and even life and death are in the hands of the master...
In other words, she and Lahaire are now being observed by Charlotte in 360° without any dead ends, and the other party has the ability to disconnect them from the communication crystal at any time.
"Okay, now...you can start to disguise your identities and enter the venue of the Ness clan."
Charlotte changed into a comfortable position and smiled slightly.
Agnes: …
