After leaving the Moon Protector Principality, Charlotte speeded up her journey.
Castel's convoy did not stop in the two counties, but went all the way north. After traveling for about ten days, it finally entered the north of the Crescent Kingdom and came to the territory of the Earl of Castel. The neighboring Principality of Violet.
As they entered the Violet Principality, the surrounding landscape changed obviously. Large areas of plains disappeared and were replaced by rolling hills and continuous forests.
Under the clear blue sky, the river like a silver ribbon flows quietly through the hills and low mountains, sparkling in the sun and reflecting the white clouds.
From time to time, you can see free deer and hares jumping out of the forest, drinking water and playing by the stream. Large groups of wild flowers are dotted among the bushes, attracting colorful butterflies to fly.
It was hard for Charlotte not to be attracted by this oil painting-like scenery, and similar beautiful scenery could be seen everywhere in the Violet Principality.
However, compared with this paradise-like beauty, the number of villages and towns here has obviously become sparse, even enough to be called sparsely populated.
Sometimes, while walking, you can still see some traces of the battlefield that have been around for many years.
A dilapidated and damaged chariot covered with mushrooms and moss, vaguely identifiable corpses, as well as rusty armor or fragments of weapons...
"The Violet Principality was once one of the main battlefields of the Star-Moon War. These battle traces are all left behind by the Second Star-Moon War more than ten years ago."
Seeing Charlotte's curious eyes, Sebastian introduced.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
She also read records about the Star-Moon War when she was in Boulder. The war that lasted for decades almost reduced the population of the entire northern Crescent Kingdom by half, especially the Violet Principality, which was the main battlefield.
Only the Earl of Castells escaped under the heavy protection of the kingdom.
At this time, the importance of mithril mine becomes apparent. In order to prevent such an extremely important battle, mithril mine,
The strategic supplies fell into the hands of the Fallen Star Kingdom. The Crescent Royal Family spent a lot of money at the beginning and stationed a legion directly on the border of the Fallen Star Kingdom's enclave on the mainland, the Roman Principality and Castel.
After decades of war, the entire north was almost destroyed, but the Earldom of Castells further north became more prosperous, more or less for this reason.
There is no war, and it has accepted a large number of refugees from the north of the kingdom. At the same time, it is located on the transportation artery and main trade route of many forces, and it has its own mines. Under this natural selection model, Castel will be in trouble if it cannot develop.
In contrast, the Violet Principality, which is the main battlefield, is much more bleak and unlucky.
The rare and beautiful scenery is charming, but it also represents poverty and backwardness.
War is never grand and bloody, but cruel and full of tragedy.
Along the way, Charlotte could even see the ruins of some villages, including many withered bones, which were obviously lost during the war.
What surprised Charlotte was that although the wilderness of the Violet Principality was full of dead bones, she could hardly feel the breath of the undead.
You know, battlefield ruins are often also the birthplace of the undead.
It is difficult for the priests to make holy prayers for so many dead in time to help their wandering souls return to the Kingdom of God, so there will always be remnant souls wandering on the battlefield.
But along the way, Charlotte didn't see even one undead soul.
Even at night, the most you can hear is the roar of monsters.
"Undead? Maybe they were all hunted down by mercenaries? The Violet Principality has a vast forest area, which can be called a paradise for warcraft. There are many mercenaries active here, and of course there are also many robbers."
Sebastian guessed.
Warcraft is feared by ordinary people, but in the eyes of extraordinary people, it is walking wealth.
The vast violet forest is not only a paradise for warcraft, but also a paradise for mercenaries.
The Principality of Violet, the Black Land of Eastern Unite, the Snake Crest Mountains...
These three places are where Miria's free mercenaries are most active.
However, Charlotte was not too satisfied with Sebastian's answer.
As a vampire who has mastered necromancy magic, Charlotte is quite familiar with the undead.
The undead are special spirits that are good at hiding and retain more or less wisdom from their lifetimes. Not everyone can defeat this kind of existence, and even mercenaries cannot handle it so cleanly.
Not only that, after entering the Violet Principality, Charlotte clearly felt that the concentration of magic in the air here was higher than in other places.
Violet has many magical beasts, which is probably closely related to this high-magic environment.
In this environment, the undead are indeed more likely to be born.
In particular, Violet's magic power is obviously a bit chaotic, and this environment is more conducive to the undead.
Charlotte didn't think the mercenaries could easily hunt down the wandering undead so cleanly.
Unless... a church force like the Holy Royal Court takes action and will regularly "purify" the entire Violet from beginning to end.
But Charlotte didn't think that the Holy Royal Court would be so idle.
However, despite her doubts, Charlotte just buried it in her heart.
She was just passing through Violet.
Although it was strange, although she was a little curious, she didn't want to stay specifically to study and investigate.
Because the terrain is full of low mountains and hills, the roads in the Violet Principality are not particularly easy to walk. However, the speed of Castel's convoy is not slow.
It's not that the speed has increased, but that there are too few gathering points for Violet, and there are also very few noble castles and cities.
There was little place to stay, and Charlotte gave the order to move as quickly as possible, so the convoy naturally moved faster.
Obviously different from the Principality of Moon Protector and the Principality of Bold, Violet's settlements, even those small villages, often have tall wooden walls.
As for the towns built around the castle, they have solid stone walls and look like fortresses.
Charlotte knew that this was another result of the decades-long Star-Moon War.
For the citizens of Violet, only tall city walls can give them a sufficient sense of security.
Charlotte could clearly feel the scars left by the Star-Moon War on the principality.
Along the way, she passed through many villages and towns. Castel's convoy was deeply vigilant and tightly closed the village gates or city gates. Only after the convoy showed its identity and gained enough trust, would they be cautiously let in. Rest.
Of course, after knowing the identity of the convoy, the villagers will become extremely enthusiastic. For the desolate Violet, Castel in the north is a fertile land that people yearn for.
The Violet Principality is indeed much poorer.
This can be felt from the banquet invited to her by the nobles here. The overall feeling is not even as good as that of the same level nobles in Boulder. Both the decoration of the castle and the food at the banquet seem a bit poor.
But in contrast, Charlotte noticed that the Violet people's force was much stronger than that of Boulder or even the Moon Guardian Principality.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
In the castles of nobles, the proportion of extraordinary people is very high. Even a baron has a following of advanced people.
The same goes for the village. The militiamen guarding the village are almost all extraordinary people.
Charlotte guessed that this was inseparable from the fact that the Violet Principality's magic power was obviously higher than other places.
However, unlike the enthusiastic villagers, although the Violet Noble was extremely enthusiastic when inviting Charlotte, the keen Charlotte could sense the alienation beneath the politeness when attending the banquet.
Although she acted appropriately on the surface, Charlotte could feel that Violet's nobles did not welcome her.
However, she didn't care, it was just a way, and if she was not welcome, it would save her the trouble of tedious communication.
After bidding farewell to another lord, Castel's convoy continued to move forward and entered the northern part of the Violet Principality.
The people here are sparser and the trees are more lush.
To the north of Violet is the Violet Forest that runs across the north of the Crescent Kingdom. After passing through the forest, you reach the Castel Territory.
As for Lint City, the capital of Violet... it is located a little further west of the principality. Charlotte walking northeast will not pass by it, and naturally she will not go there to visit Duke Violet.
The Violet Forest is vast and it takes several days to traverse the entire jungle.
Fortunately, the caravans traveling with Castel arrived at their destination one after another and parted ways.
Now, there are only a few caravans left whose destination is Castells, and the number of the entire caravan is less than 700.
There are fewer people, there are fewer caravans, and the speed of the team can be faster.
But even so, it would take at least three days to cross the Violet Forest. During these three days, the entire convoy would need to spend the night in the forest.
It's night, and the water-like moonlight shines through the dense woods.
The convoy that had been traveling for a day also stopped, and tents and bonfires were set up around the carriage.
A circle of spice called Avila is sprinkled around the camp. This spice has the effect of driving away monsters and mosquitoes and can ensure the safety of the camp.
Of course, just having spices is not safe. There are many monsters in the forest, and there are always some who are immune. Therefore, the extraordinary knights are stationed on the edge of the camp, always keeping vigilance.
Ordinary people naturally stayed in the camp, as did the accompanying merchants. It was very cold in the forest at night. They gathered around the crackling bonfire, rubbing their hands to keep warm, and listening to the troubadours playing and singing ancient songs. .
From time to time, the howls of unknown monsters can be heard coming from the depths of the forest, startling bats and birds, making the jungle under the night appear more mysterious and dangerous, and making ordinary people in the camp shiver. They felt at ease after they got closer to each other.
Charlotte likes the environment here.
Night is the home of the vampires, and as a naturally magical creature, Charlotte also likes high-magic environments like the Violet Forest.
She stayed alone in the tent, closed her eyes and meditated, while reviewing the various vampire magics she had learned.
Her body suddenly turned into a black mist, and then suddenly turned into countless black bats...
The Mist Shadow of the Shadow Department under Dark Resonance and the Night Bat of the Transformation Department under Wild Resonance were really played by her.
The next moment, the bat turned into a girl in human form, but there was a pair of huge bat wings behind the girl.
Blood flashed through Charlotte's vagina, and a shadow appeared on her body, quickly covering her in the night.
Charlotte jumped up and flew out of the tent.
No one noticed her actions.
Only Sebas couldn't help but glance at the sky. After sensing the familiar smell, he quickly looked away and continued to lazily hold up the goblet and drink the wine.
Charlotte flapped her bat wings and flew into the sky. She was a little unskilled at first, but she soon became able to fly smoothly, unleashing the power of the vampires to her heart's content.
She must conceal her identity on weekdays, and be careful no matter where she goes, not to expose her power. Only in a deep forest like Violet can she feel the extraordinary power without any scruples.
Charlotte, who has mastered more than ten kinds of vampire magic, is no longer what she used to be, even if she doesn't use the power of true ancestor liberation!
However, just when Charlotte was about to fly to the nearby woods for a loop, a shrill scream suddenly pierced the night sky.
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stopped thinking about playing and descended back to the ground.
Returning to her normal appearance, Charlotte came to the edge of the camp.
Here, several extraordinary knights were picking up their weapons and preparing to walk towards the forest.
"What happened?"
Charlotte asked.
Seeing the girl, several knights bowed respectfully and then said:
"Lord Earl, this is Darren. He just went to the woods... It's convenient. I'm afraid he encountered a monster..."
"Warcraft? Didn't he bring Avila spice?"
Charlotte asked with a frown.
The knights looked at each other, but no one could answer this question.
The rich smell of blood gradually floated from the forest, and Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
"Let's go and see it together."
She said solemnly.
With that said, she took the lead and walked towards the forest, and the knights quickly followed.
When Charlotte entered the dense forest, she quickly saw the extraordinary knight Darren lying on the ground.
However, at this moment, this extraordinary knight is dead.
His death was extremely brutal and horrifying. All his armor was torn off, his body was full of traces of tearing by beast-like claws, and his chest and abdomen were cut open directly...
And a shadow shrouded in darkness was lying on his body, greedily biting his flesh and blood.
"Blood...blood demon?!"
The two extraordinary knights guarding Charlotte widened their eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly.
"No...not the Blood Demon..."
Looking at the shadow in the darkness, she squinted her eyes:
"It's the undead."
The clouds that covered the moonlight dispersed, and the silver moonlight penetrated the branches, illuminating the figures in the darkness.
The knights also saw clearly what the attacker looked like.
It was indeed not a monster-like blood demon, but a living corpse wearing tattered armor and rotting all over.
Its eye sockets were lit with a faint green fire.
At this moment, bursts of roars came from deep in the woods.
Green "lanterns" are lit up in the dense jungle, densely packed and countless...
