Chapter 184 34 The Life Span of the Extraordinary

Chapter 184 -34- The life span of the extraordinary

"Is he finally dead? It took longer than I thought."

Charlotte paused for a moment, then slowly put the milk into her mouth.

"After all, he is Chiyang, and his foundation is still there. In fact, I thought the old duke could hold on a little longer. After all, Chiyang of the power system has more vitality than the caster."

Looking at the letter sent by the messenger, Sebastian couldn't help but sigh.

Charlotte was interested:

"This is the first time I've heard of this statement, Sebastian, under normal circumstances, how long can a Chiyang strongman usually live?"

Sebastian didn't feel confused about this common sense question Charlotte suddenly raised.

He knew that the memory of his "god" had not been completely revived, and he didn't think a "god" would really pay much attention to these mortals' affairs.

Especially when the other party was the ancient blood ancestor, who was immortal from the moment of birth and had no concept of life span at all.

"It depends on the race. For example, the average lifespan of our elves is over a thousand years, and there was no major change before the legend. For humans, who are short-lived... if they are healthy, living to eighty or ninety years old is not a problem."

Sebastian answered respectfully.

"Eighty or ninety years old? So short?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows.

"For humans, it's already rare. After all, the average life expectancy of humans is less than 60 years old."

Sebastian shook his head and continued:

"Not to mention how it is possible for extraordinary people to not have hidden diseases. Most of the Blazing Suns are killed in the sea of ​​corpses. Even the casters have achieved self-breakthroughs in the magic tides again and again, and the magic tides are also harmful to the body. Humans are not born magical creatures. It is normal that the real life expectancy of extraordinary people is much shorter..."

"As far as I know, in the human world, there are many Blazing Suns like the old duke who are exhausted at a young age, especially those who have exhausted their life potential in war."

"However, the human base is too large. Although those Blazing Suns and Legends are fleeting meteors in your eyes and mine, there are too many such meteors in every era, enough to push the entire race to the pinnacle of the civilized world."

Charlotte was really surprised.

As long as they can obtain blood regularly, the blood race can be immortal, so after traveling through time, Charlotte has never paid much attention to the life expectancy of extraordinary people in this world.

The death of the old duke made her a little sad, and also aroused a little interest in understanding the life span of extraordinary people.

This understanding did not know that in addition to being powerful, the extraordinary people who entered the rank did not live much longer than ordinary people!

"I thought that Chiyang could live for hundreds of years."

Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.

Sebastian thought for a while and said:

"If it is a legend, it may be possible. Most human legends seem to live to 120 or 30 years old, but this is already the limit of short-lived species."

"120 or 30 years old? But in some information I have read, some legendary mages can even live for 200 or 300 years."

Charlotte was a little surprised.

Sebastian continued to answer respectfully:

"Master, although the power of mortals is not as strong as that of gods, mortals can often find new ways to create all kinds of strange magic, including magic that can prolong life..."

"However, similar magic generally has significant side effects, and requires irreversible transformation of the body. A legendary human wizard of 200 to 300 years old... from the degree of body transformation, I am afraid he is no longer considered a human being."

Charlotte nodded slightly.

This explains why the Chiyang she has seen so far seems to be not too old, and even the lower-level ones are mostly younger than she imagined.

Unlike the immortal cultivators in fairy tales, who have stronger strength and longer life, in the world of Miria, apart from the powerful strength, there is not much difference between the extraordinary and ordinary people.

"The reason why mortals are mortals is that no matter how strong they are, they cannot escape the erosion of time."

"The most powerful human legends can even make the demigods who come to the world fear, and even kill the gods in the form of saints, but even such a terrifying existence that can kill gods will be nothing more than a passing cloud after a hundred years..."

"Life is too short. Countless legendary wizards would rather fall into darkness and become liches than return to the kingdom of God at the end of their lifespans. It is also for this reason. However... even if they become liches, they are just lingering on."

"True eternity belongs only to gods."

Thinking back on the various legends he knew, Sebastian sighed with some emotion.

Looking at Sebastian, the long-lived elf sighing at the brevity of life, Charlotte felt a little strange.

However, considering that the other party was targeting the eternal gods, it was easy to understand.

The deification... was the biggest reason why Sebastian chose to follow her.

At this time, Charlotte suddenly felt that it was great to be a vampire.

From the perspective of lifespan, although they need to suck blood regularly, their activities are restricted, and they may need to sleep for a while... the immortal vampires are the only ones who can compete with the gods to see who can live longer.

In the story, the dragons with a lifespan of 3,000 years can't survive those vampires who know how to survive!

Oh, yes, there are also the undead.

But the quality of life of the undead is completely incomparable with that of the vampires.

The undead are the dead after all, and although the vampires resemble the dead in some characteristics, they are still alive.

Charlotte could also more or less understand why it was recorded in some documents that in the era when the Vampire Clan was at its peak two thousand years ago, everyone wanted to be favored by the Vampire Clan and receive their first embrace.

Putting aside the blood addiction that will occur if you don't drink blood, and the difficulty in improving your rank under normal circumstances, the vampires are really quite popular.

It's no wonder that many Vampires always look down on any creature other than Vampires.

However, Charlotte does not have such arrogance.

Perhaps the vampires do have infinite lifespans comparable to gods, but they cannot exist for a long time without blood. In a sense, they are nothing more than parasites on other creatures.

Including Charlotte herself.

"Um?"

While Charlotte was sighing secretly, Sebastian raised his eyebrows slightly while browsing the letter.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Did the letter say anything else?"

"Master, Eleanor, the daughter of the Duke of Bold, succeeded to the throne the day after the old Duke's death. She sent magical messages to lords everywhere, announcing the old Duke's death and asking the lords to go to Bold to express condolences and pay an audience at the same time. The new Duke."

With that said, Sebastian put down the letter with a strange expression:

"He also specifically named several counts, including our Castells."

"Recall me back to Boulder?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then sneered:

"Is this actually the third prince's order?"

"It's very possible. Judging from the observations at the banquet that day, Eleanor is obviously dominated by the third prince, and can even be said to be completely obedient."

Sebastian thought.

As he spoke, he asked again:

"Master, do you plan to go back?"

"Of course not."

Charlotte took a sip of milk and said.

What a joke, he just ambushed her with his front legs, and then called her back with his back legs to go fuck her!

Not to mention that the troublesome matter in the Earl of Castells has not yet been resolved.

Of course, even if Castel's matter was resolved and the third prince did not hire anyone to attack her, she would not intend to go back.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. She is so comfortable in her own territory. She has already felt the taste of power before she has completely controlled the territory. Shouldn't she return to Boulder if she leaves the emperor alone?

She won't go.

Anyway, she has successfully succeeded to the throne, and no one can do anything to get her. This is not a celestial dynasty. It is normal for a lord to be unable to control his vassals.

Just finding a symbolic reason to excuse him is enough for her to know etiquette.

As for whether the third prince is angry or not, he must be angry.

However, Charlotte felt that the other party should first worry about the intensifying rumors.

It won't be long before rumors that he hired necromancers to attack his vassals will spread back to Boulder.

It is said that the third prince has a strong character. As soon as the new Duke succeeded to the throne, he asked lords from all over the world to come to Boulder to meet him. I have to say that this description is indeed true.

But Charlotte is definitely not the only noble who is dissatisfied with the third prince.

Charlotte is currently busy with the affairs of the territory and has no time to talk to him, but she only needs to hand him a knife. There are many other nobles in the principality who are disgusted with him.

"Is there any news from Viscount Remicio in the past two days?"

After thinking for a while, Charlotte asked again.

"The spies I left there reported that Viscount Remicio left the army station yesterday and hurried to the south."

"In addition, he sent people to Beigang two days ago to inquire about our coming to Castell to lead the way."

Sebastian said.

"Oh? Then how did you do it?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows.

The corners of Sebastian's mouth raised slightly and he smiled gracefully:

"Of course, in accordance with your order, the news that we were attacked by the Necromancer on the road was spread as far as possible in advance."

Charlotte nodded slightly, then chuckled:

"Then it seems that the headache for our Third Prince is still to come. Let him first feel the double bombardment from the nobles of the principality and the ministers of the kingdom."

After all, the third prince is a member of the New Moon Royal Family, and there are many strong people around him to protect him.

Even with the liberation of the True Ancestor, Charlotte would not be able to trouble him for the time being.

But many times, she doesn't need to do it personally. The third prince is not without enemies, and she only needs to provide the knife.

Maybe this method can't solve the trouble once and for all, but it can still be done by making the other party sick.

And when Charlotte frees up her hands in the future, it would be fine if the other party stops, but if he continues to seek death, she doesn't mind spending some energy to send the other party to see the old Duke.

"How is the investigation of the flow of mithril in the territory going?"

Charlotte put the matter of the third prince behind for the time being and asked again.

This time, Sebastian's expression became serious:

"I was busy dealing with the affairs of the mining workshop in the past few days, and I haven't had time to take time to investigate carefully, but... combined with the confession of the workshop manager, plus some information collected here in Beigang, I found some clues, it should be It’s related to a trading company called ‘Guixing United Chamber of Commerce’.”

"Returning Star United Chamber of Commerce?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

"Yes."

Sebastian nodded and continued:

"Master, I have checked. In recent years, there have not been many mithril sales in the underground black market in Castel Territory. However, there have been a lot of mithril slag."

"This shows that the mine has indeed been mining mithril, but the mithril is not flowing to the black market, but is directly bought by fixed buyers."

"The fixed buyer, is this business?"

"Yes, this business is registered in the Falling Star Kingdom. It was established seven years ago and has dealings with many noble families in the Earldom. It is said that there is a nobleman called Earl Hall behind the scenes."

"Earl Hall? The Earl Hall mentioned by Quixote?"

Charlotte sat up straight.

"If there is no duplicate name, I am afraid so, but... according to my verification, there is no noble named Earl Hall in the Falling Star Kingdom."

Sebastian said.

Charlotte drank the milk in the crystal glass and said with a smile:

"It may not be in the Falling Star Kingdom, or even in other words, it may not be a human noble. Have you forgotten what Quixote said?"

Sebastian's heart moved slightly:

"What do you mean?"

Charlotte's eyelids drooped slightly:

"The Earl of Blood is also an Earl, and I have asked the Book of the Dead. Its previous owner was honored as Hall."

...

"Mr. Hall, has the work of the Chamber of Commerce been going smoothly recently?"

Inside the black curtain, several vague figures stood proudly, and scarlet eyes were looming in the shadows.

At this moment, the eyes of all the figures were focused on the tallest figure.

"Everything is normal."

The tallest figure was silent for a while, and said in a heavy voice.

"But I heard that there was a problem with the workshop, and...you seem to have accepted the mission of the third prince as a mercenary, and you failed."

The leading figure said dissatisfiedly.

As he spoke, his scarlet eyes fell on the tall figure again:

"Sir Hall, I think I need to reiterate again that we do want to control the Castel Territory, but... this does not mean to kill Earl Castel."

"Win her over, control her, dominate her... when necessary, we can even turn her into a descendant and control her, and support her as a puppet. This is the most suitable path for us."

"You shouldn't have accepted the Third Prince's mission as a mercenary. This is likely to arouse Earl Castel's vigilance. The changes in the workshop... may be related to this."

"The day of the banquet at the Earl's Mansion is coming soon, Sir Hall, I don't want our plan to change again."

"Okay, let's stop here today. If necessary, we will meet again."

The blurred figures disappeared one after another after they finished speaking.

The tallest figure was silent for a moment and left.

The vision flickered slightly, and the middle-aged knight La Haier returned to reality.

As soon as he woke up, the vampire girl Agnes jumped over:

"How is it? How is it? Did they tell me any information today?"

La Haile scratched his head, looking tangled:

"Miss, I feel like I can't hold on any longer. I don't know anything. They will find out the problem sooner or later."

Agnes pursed her lips and said:

"No hurry! If there is anything, we will just run away! Tell me, what did they say today?"

"They asked about the Chamber of Commerce again, but...how could I know anything about the Chamber of Commerce? According to your instructions, I continued to answer everything as usual and fooled around."

"In addition, they also mentioned the workshop and Count Castel. They seem to want to control Count Castel."

La Haile thought for a while and said.

Then he asked again:

"Miss, what workshop are they talking about?"

Agnes spread her hands:

"How should I know? I'm not familiar with them."

Thanks to the beautiful and cute leader of the chipmunks!

Ah, how much I owe.
