The connection between the North Port and the mainland, the entrance to the Castres Bridge.
All kinds of carriages lined up in a long queue, and were inspected by the guards in an orderly manner. Then, either carrying goods from various places, or carrying passengers and friends, they drove over the bridge to Beigang one after another.
Suddenly, on the Emergency Officer Road on one side of the bridge, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and a gorgeous carriage with a black eagle logo engraved on the side came galloping from the north of the mainland.
The carriage stopped at the checkpoint, and the guards quickly greeted him respectfully. Then, they saw a handsome and elegant red-haired elf sticking his head out and giving a slight greeting to the guards.
"It's the Castel family's carriage!"
"The red-haired... elf... could it be the red man next to the earl, the elf of fire named Sebas?"
"I heard that he once created a great reputation in East Yunet and is a powerful transcendent!"
The merchants and passers-by looked curiously at the gorgeous carriage that was greeted respectfully by the guards, and they talked about it for a while.
At this moment, Sebastian sat back on the carriage and continued to drive the carriage towards the city.
Castel's family emblem passed unobstructed, and with the respectful salutes of the patrolling city guards and the respectful avoidance of passers-by, the carriage drove quickly and stopped in front of the Earl's Palace.
Then, Sebastian jumped up, jumped off the carriage gracefully, and walked quickly towards the mansion.
"Master Sebas..."
Seeing the elf butler approaching, the maids and waiters bowed respectfully.
Sebastian nodded and asked:
"Where is your lord the count?"
"The Earl is in the study, discussing matters with Viscount Leon Castells."
The waiter replied respectfully.
"Viscount Leon Castell? So... the review of the southern nobles has ended? That guy is back too?"
Sebastian raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.
Slipping the reins of the carriage into the waiter's hands, Sebastian hurried to the Earl's study.
As soon as he entered the hall of the mansion, he saw a familiar black cat lying lazily at the door, basking in the sun and eating small dried fish specially prepared by the maid.
"Hey! Sebastian, you can't rush on the road fast enough. I've been back for two days, and you just rushed back slowly."
Seeing the fire elf, the black cat burped and greeted proudly.
Sebastian glanced at it:
"The roads in the north are not smoother than those in the south, and the distance is also longer. It's normal to come back a little later. Even if you have to compete with me for such trivial matters, you, the cat, are becoming more and more like a real cat."
"Meow! What's wrong with the cat? He roams freely, does whatever he wants, eats well, sleeps well, is carefree, and is much happier than humans."
Nice scratched his itch lazily and said.
Sebastian was convinced:
"Pets, that's true."
Nice:…
After being choked by Sebastian, he was about to have an attack, but he quickly endured it and said angrily:
"Huh, huh, for the sake of working together in the next few months, Mr. Cat will not be as familiar with you today... Okay, hurry up and see the master. Lady Charlotte said, if I see this thing about you When the good dog comes back, I will tell you to go see her immediately.”
Sebastian:…
Thinking of his master's urgent call, he was too lazy to continue bickering with Ness, the black cat, and rushed across the hall to the study on the second floor.
In the study, Charlotte was being interviewed by Len Castel. Sebastian was about to wait outside, but Charlotte waved to him and motioned for him to come in while continuing to talk to the Len family. The old Viscount communicated:
"Your Majesty the Viscount, I have witnessed your loyalty, but... the southern nobles are only a small part of Castel, and the west and north are the most important. Please continue to work hard."
Viscount Leon Castells saluted quickly:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that our Leon-Castle family will do our best to assist you in completing the review of the territory!"
Charlotte nodded and said:
"I believe you can do a good job. Please continue to work hard in the future."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but yawn and continued:
"The review work is still arduous and full of hardships. The nobles in the territory are not entirely willing to accept it. There are also neighboring lords outside Castel who are ready to make moves. Even the north is not stable enough... In the following days, Sebastian will have full power. Responsible for the follow-up of the review work, your future work, and direct communication with him.”
Viscount Leon Castell glanced at the flame elf standing aside, hesitated slightly, and bowed respectfully to Charlotte:
"I obey your orders... Your Majesty."
"Well, Your Excellency Viscount, the review plan has a long way to go. It requires everyone to work together and go all out. When everything is settled, I will naturally not forget everything Len Castel has done. Those who have merit will naturally You will get the reward you deserve. Next, I still need to give some instructions to Sebastian. If you don’t have any other work to report, please go and rest first.”
Charlotte took a sip of her refreshing milk coffee and said.
"As you command, my lord."
The old Viscount bowed to Charlotte again and bowed respectfully.
Viscount Leon Castell left, and only Charlotte and Sebastian were left in the study. Charlotte motioned to the head maid Shirley to close the door.
Looking at Charlotte who was breathing heavily, Sebastian's heart moved slightly:
"Master, what are you..."
"Sebas, I'm afraid I'll be asleep for a while."
Charlotte gets right to the point.
"Sleep? Master, is this the sleep I thought of?"
Sebastian asked with his heart skipping a beat.
Charlotte nodded:
"That's right, it's the deep sleep you were thinking of, and the same is true for calling you back urgently. During my deep sleep, Castel needs someone I trust to be in charge. I can't completely trust the nobles in the territory, except for you. Apart from that, I think there is no more suitable candidate.”
Being affirmed by Charlotte, Sebastian felt a burst of joy, but besides the joy, there was also worry:
"Master, how long do you need to sleep for? In recent days, I have found traces of many Blood Demon cultists in the north, including some suspected blood descendants of the Ness clan. I am afraid they are planning something secretly..."
Charlotte shook her head:
"I'm not sure about the specific time of sleeping. It could be at least one or two months, or at most three or four months."
"I have also informed Nice about this. After I fall asleep, it will use illusion magic to disguise myself as me and sit in the Earl's Mansion. However, all it can do is disguise. The next person who really needs to take charge of the overall situation is you."
"I already know about the activities of the Blood Demon Order. This matter is a bit complicated and may also involve the internal fighting of the Ness clan... I also have chess pieces in the Ness clan. Before I fall asleep, I will tell you how to contact the other party. "
Charlotte explained everything that happened after she fell asleep, sentence by sentence, while Sebastian looked solemn and wrote down everything respectfully.
After giving instructions on the follow-up work in the territory, she remembered something again and said:
"Oh, by the way, one more thing, do the safety work for me during my sleep. I want to sleep in the secret room of the Earl's Mansion. During my sleep, I have to make sure that no one disturbs me and that I am safe at the same time."
"Shen Mian's security job?"
Sebas was stunned.
As if he thought of something, his heart suddenly moved and he nodded:
"Oh, I understand. I happen to know a good magic craftsman who can customize it urgently and will definitely satisfy you."
"custom made?"
Charlotte was a little confused.
Seeing Sebastian's confident look, she became more and more troubled and had no intention of asking further questions. She nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of your business. Go ahead and get ready."
