On the south side of the Earl's Mansion, in the innermost guest room.
The maids screamed and retreated, while the servants of the mansion who came rushing over after hearing the noise raised their swords, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
Inside the room, a black-haired girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen was glaring at them with a murderous look on her face.
She roared like a wild beast and picked up the decorative sword hanging on the wall to protect herself.
That alert and vigilant look was like a cat with its fur standing on end.
The room was already in a mess, as if it had just been swept through by a storm.
Furniture, decorations... all collapsed, even the bed was not spared and was almost torn into pieces.
"Put down your weapons and stand back!"
The leading knight of the royal guard gave a stern warning while commanding his servants to surround the girl.
Looking at the messy guest room, no one would think that the girl without any magic power in her body was really an ordinary girl. Such destructive power was definitely not something an ordinary person could do in a short time, not to mention the other party's fierce gaze and growl like a beast.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, and it seemed that a fight might break out at any time, until a crisp voice came from the door.
"You are still so powerful even after your magic power is sealed. It seems that... Sebastian's decision to imprison your power was correct."
Hearing this voice, the guards quickly made way, put away their weapons, and saluted respectfully:
"My Lord Count..."
The black-haired girl looked up and saw a beautiful girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a black noble dress, walking in surrounded by a crowd.
Behind her, there was a red-haired elf and a fat cat with its tail raised high.
The black-haired girl's eyes immediately fell on the other person.
Her expression became increasingly alert, and she even took a step back unconsciously as the beautiful girl entered, as if her relationship with the guards had reversed in an instant, and she looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing her so alert, Charlotte smiled slightly when she entered the room.
She glanced around the horrible room, and then said quietly:
"Miss Eudocia, you know, the history of this room may be longer than your life span. The furniture and decorations you destroyed... From a human perspective, each one is either an antique or a cultural relic."
"If converted into Quintana, I'm afraid the value of these destroyed objects would be as high as three or four hundred thousand, right?"
"And the decorative sword in your hand, as far as I know, is the sword that King Crescent Moon gave to the Bold family as a gift for the tournament champion. If it were sold on the market... I'm afraid it would cost at least 100,000 gold tana."
"I can't just pretend nothing happened after destroying so many of my things."
After hearing what Charlotte said, the girl couldn't help but look at the decorative sword in her hand, and her momentum suddenly weakened.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly. She glanced at the servants and maids around her and gestured:
"You guys go down first."
"My Lord Earl! There's something wrong with her. She's in danger!"
The Knight of the Royal Guard advised.
Sebastian, who was standing beside Charlotte, smiled slightly. He gently patted the knight's shoulder and said:
"Rand, for the master, there is no danger within the territory."
Even the black cat Nice beside him chuckled:
"Hey, that's right. Even if all of you were to attack together, you wouldn't be enough for Lady Charlotte to beat alone."
The Knight of the Royal Guard opened his mouth, his eyes moving between the three people and the cat, and finally nodded obediently, motioning for the servants to leave together.
Soon, only Charlotte, Sebastian and Eudocia were left in the room, along with a black cat that had escaped from Yust and came over to watch the fun.
For a moment, Eudocia's expression became more alert.
Especially when Charlotte took a step forward, she almost subconsciously took a step back, her muscles tensed, and she looked as if she might jump up and resist at any time.
"You seem to be afraid of me? Am I that scary?"
Looking at the girl who looked like a little wild cat with its fur standing on end, Charlotte touched her face in surprise.
Eudocia stared at Charlotte, and her cold voice was faintly filled with fear:
"who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I am Charlotte de Castel, Lord of the North, Count of Castel, and the person you have been trying to help the Blood Demon Cult and the Legris family subvert during this period."
Charlotte smiled and said.
However, her answer did not make Eudocia relax, but made her even more alert:
"who are you?"
This time, Charlotte was a little surprised.
However, she knew what was going on after just a little thought.
She had entered Eudocia's spiritual world and exerted her power in the other's spiritual world.
As one of the most powerful magical creatures in Miria, the dragon is very sensitive to magic and aura. Although Charlotte used the power of blood at that time, she entered the other party's spiritual world and did not deliberately hide her aura, so she would inevitably leave some traces.
The spiritual world can ultimately glimpse into the essence of things.
Although Eudocia was almost unconscious at that time, he still retained a trace of clarity.
It was obvious that Eudocia had recognized Charlotte's aura and realized that she was the mysterious being who possessed Nice and entered her spiritual world at that time.
Thinking of this, Charlotte bowed slightly, and Sebastian naturally took out a chair and placed it respectfully behind her.
Charlotte sat down naturally, took the finely blended milk tea from Sebastian, took a sip, and said:
“It doesn’t matter who I am, it’s who you are that matters.”
After saying this, she gently extended her hand, and Sebastian respectfully presented a roll of parchment.
Charlotte gently unfolded the parchment scroll and said:
"Eudocia... no, or more precisely, the Black Dragon Eudocia."
"Thirty years ago, the Kemia Mercenary City-State in the East Yunite Black Land was attacked by an unknown black dragon. It is said that... the black dragon seemed to appear out of thin air, and after it appeared, it launched a crazy attack on the city-state..."
"Although the East Yunite Black Land Mercenary Alliance organized an army to repel the black dragon's attack, the city-state of Kemia has been reduced to ruins under the attack of the black dragon, with tens of thousands of casualties..."
"Then, the black dragon disappeared. The place where it disappeared was the border of the East Crescent Yunet Black Land, or more precisely, the border of Castel."
Having said that, Charlotte paused slightly and put down the parchment.
She looked at Eudocia and continued:
"Later, there were rumors of a giant dragon appearing in the Castel Mine..."
After hearing what Charlotte said, Eudocia fell silent.
After a moment, she said:
"what do you want to say in the end."
"It's nothing, actually. I'm also curious about the past of this black dragon. After my investigation, I also found that this black dragon really seemed to appear out of thin air. Miss Eudocia, aren't you curious?"
Charlotte asked.
Eudocia was silent.
After a moment, she said:
"I don't remember my past."
"Of course I know you don't remember."
Charlotte said.
As she spoke, she looked at him, her sapphire-like eyes seemed to carry magic:
"First of all, I must correct a wrong view of yours. Your idea of reviving a deceased person whose soul has dissipated is impossible to achieve. Even gods cannot do such a thing."
"When a soul disappears, it means that the existence disappears completely. This process is irreversible. Those whose souls are still there or whose souls have been taken to the kingdom of God may still be awakened, but a soul that has disappeared cannot be restored... unless time goes back and history is reversed."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Eudocia subconsciously clenched her hands, but in the end... she let them go helplessly.
Seeing the girl fall silent, Charlotte knew that she had heard him.
After a slight pause, she continued:
"Eudocia, I have seen your memories, I know what you have been through, and I also know why you chose to help the Blood Demon Cult and aid the evil..."
"Of course, the term 'aiding and abetting' may not be appropriate. After all, in the memories I saw, although you joined the Blood Demon Cult, you actually avoided harming ordinary people in every action."
"Not only that, even if you watched the Blood Demon Cult use the Glis family as a sacrifice, it was because the Glis family participated in the kidnapping and undeadization of Castel's miners, which touched your reverse scale."
"Miss Eudocia, although in my memory you have claimed countless times that you are a ferocious and violent black dragon, in the memories I have seen, you are more like a dragon that has long been accustomed to coexisting peacefully with humans, or more broadly, with other intelligent creatures."
"This is completely different from what you did when you first appeared in East Yunete. Although it can be explained by amnesia, and although it can be explained by your experience in the mines gradually changing your attitude towards other intelligent life, it still seems far-fetched to me."
"There is a secret in you, a big secret. You are aware of this yourself. Otherwise... you would not rely on the Blood Demon Cult to find the past."
"It must be admitted that as one of the oldest cults, the Blood Demon Cult has always had a high level of attainment in spiritual magic, second only to the Blood Clan's Spiritual Clan Salem. It can help many beings who have lost their memories regain their memories."
"But with all due respect, you are different."
"As for your memories in the East Yunite Black Land, from what I have investigated, they have indeed been 'forgotten' like ordinary amnesiacs. This may be related to your previous injuries, but the memories before that are different."
"I haven't seen your earlier memories, and it's impossible for those memories not to exist, but... they don't exist."
"It's not sealed, nor is it simply eliminated. It's as if you have never experienced it from the beginning. However, various clues show that you definitely have a past."
"Your physique is also very interesting. As far as I know, no dragon would change into human form after losing all its magic power, and yet you did, as if human form is your final form."
"But I am sure that you do have dragon blood flowing in your body. In terms of bloodline, you are undoubtedly a real dragon."
"I believe I am not mistaken. After all... considering the perspective of extraordinary bloodline, I should be considered an authority."
"Miss Eudocia, I must admit that you are full of mysteries. I am very curious about you, your identity, and your past..."
After hearing what Charlotte said, Eudocia couldn't help but raise his head:
"What... do you want to say? What do you want to do?"
Charlotte smiled, then suddenly looked serious and said:
"Submission..."
"I want your submission."
"I am very interested in your past, and I am also very interested in you as a person, and I am also very interested in your power."
"That's why... I ordered them to bring you here."
"I can promise that by following me, you will have a better chance of regaining your past than by following the Blood Demon Cult, or even the Bloodborn Clan of Salem."
Eudocia was silent for a moment and asked:
"This isn't a solicitation, it's an ultimatum, is it?"
Charlotte was slightly surprised, and then smiled:
"If possible, I hope it is a friendly solicitation, and at least... my heart is sincere."
Eudocia was silent.
After a moment, she raised her head, her scarlet eyes showing an inexplicable emotion:
"I see."
As she spoke, in front of Charlotte's somewhat surprised eyes, Eudocia bowed slightly and stiffly performed a gesture of submission to her:
"So... from now on, you are Eudocia's follower."
Charlotte was even more surprised.
She smiled and said:
"Ms. Eudocia, you are more straightforward than I expected. To be honest, this makes me not have to say a lot of the things I prepared."
"I'm curious, can you tell me why you agreed so readily?"
Eudocia glanced at her with an inexplicable look:
"Three reasons..."
"First, you are very strong, very strong. I know my own abilities and my own strength. I cannot go against the will of a resurrected god..."
"Second, you make me feel very familiar. I suspect that maybe my past self has also come into contact with you. You are right. If I think about it calmly, following you is more likely to help me find my past."
"Third, you saved me. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been a walking corpse right now..."
After hearing what Eudocia said, Charlotte was slightly stunned, and then smiled:
"Look, Miss Eudocia, you are indeed not an ordinary black dragon."
…
Eudocia surrendered, surrendering at a speed that even Charlotte was surprised.
Although Charlotte already possessed considerable divine power with the fusion of the ancient statue, and had the confidence to suppress a black dragon with adult strength without signing a contract, she eventually signed a contract with the other party.
It was not a humiliating slave contract like the one in Nice, but a dragon's submission contract.
Charlotte's maid group naturally added one more member.
