Chapter 252 102 Awakening
Chapter 252 -102- Awakening
It was a feeling that was hard to describe in words.
After Charlotte activated the power of blood and tried to contact Sebastian, she felt as if something in the depths of her soul had quietly broken with a bang.
An irresistible pulling force suddenly erupted, descending on her like a gushing spring, driving her consciousness to rise continuously...
Charlotte found that she had lost control of her body in an instant.
As if she had opened a God's perspective, her vision flew away from her body, first seeing the "sarcophagus" she had built for herself, and then the entire cave.
The vision did not stop and continued to fly upwards.
She saw the low mountain where the cave was located, the Beishan tribe in the distance, the mortals working in the tribe and the towering spires...
The spires gradually faded away, and the mountains became small.
Charlotte saw the continuous mountains and rivers, the rivers winding like ribbons, the flocks of migrating birds around her, and the eagles soaring under her feet...
The clouds surrounded her feet.
Charlotte felt like a rocket that was rising continuously. Gradually, she could see the land and the sea.
She saw the Miria continent.
Although it was not the whole picture, combined with the map of the continent collected by the Castel family, she was sure that the continent in front of her was the Miria continent.
And the starting point of her consciousness rising was the northeast of the Crescent Peninsula, which was also the north of the Miria continent, and was later called the Northland Plateau...
Charlotte secretly remembered this place and looked around.
She could see the clear boundary between the earth and the sky, and the slightly arc-shaped boundary...
At this moment, Charlotte understood.
Although she had traveled to a different world where magic existed, the land under her feet was still a planet!
The field of vision continued to rise, and the whole picture of the Miria continent gradually emerged in Charlotte's eyes...
Charlotte felt as if she had turned into a satellite, overlooking the whole world.
And outside the ocean, to the west of the Miria continent.
After crossing a distance of nearly one-third of the size of the Miria continent, Charlotte saw another continent.
It was a slightly smaller broken continent.
In the center of the broken continent was a huge circular ocean, and the broken land radiated from the ocean to the surroundings, as if it was directly smashed by some extremely huge meteorite.
From a distance, it looked like a giant scar on the planet, which was extremely shocking.
Charlotte realized almost instantly that it should be the home of the elves before they crossed the sea to the Miria continent, a place called the "Old Continent" in some secret books.
Charlotte was alert and wanted to take a closer look at what kind of ghost thing smashed the ocean in the center of the broken continent, but as the field of vision continued to rise, a strong sense of fatigue and sleepiness gradually rose.
Charlotte only felt the familiar sleepiness coming, and the awake consciousness gradually began to blur.
The next moment, the whole world was spinning, and night and day were constantly alternating.
In the haze, Charlotte seemed to see the sun rise and fall, fall and rise, rise and fall, fall and rise...
It was as if the whole world was accelerated, and day and night were constantly alternating, and faster and faster.
At first, she could still distinguish dawn and dusk, but soon the rotation of day and night was intertwined because it was too fast.
Like a broken light bulb, it kept flickering, and the whole world turned into a white expanse.
And in this dizzying flicker, Charlotte could no longer hold on, and her consciousness became more and more blurred.
However, just when Charlotte thought she was about to fall asleep again, the flickering world gradually fell into darkness...
Everything returned to silence.
Charlotte felt that she had come to an endless darkness.
Here, she could not feel the passage of time, nor could she feel her own existence.
Only the sluggish consciousness flowed slowly and lonely.
And just when Charlotte's consciousness was about to be broken, a blood-colored star suddenly bloomed in the darkness.
No.
That was not a star.
That was a book.
That was the "Holy Book of Blood" deep in Charlotte's consciousness!
The "Holy Book of Blood" shone brightly, and the dark world was suddenly illuminated by crimson.
Charlotte only felt a strong sense of rejection coming from all directions, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness.
The feeling of fatigue faded like the tide, and consciousness became clear again.
In stark contrast to the strong sense of weightlessness, in Charlotte's perception, she felt like a person who sank to the bottom of the sea and began to float rapidly to the surface of the water...
The familiar sense of control gradually came, and Charlotte felt like a soul returning to the flesh and regained control of her body.
She felt the soft silk and velvet under her body, and smelled the unique fragrance of the calming flower and the sleeping rose.
The next moment, Charlotte slowly opened her eyes.
What caught her eyes was the gorgeous coffin lid made by the Sebastian people, inlaid with beautiful night pearls and magic crystals...
...
North Port, Earl's Mansion.
The solemn meeting hall was filled with nobles of all kinds, clearly divided into two factions.
One faction, headed by Sebastian, was mostly composed of followers who followed Charlotte from Boulder to Castel, as well as officials and upstarts who were promoted after Charlotte came to the territory.
The other faction is the heavily armed Castel nobles.
The leader was Viscount Leon Castell, who was sitting there in a drowsy state, accompanied by several heads of baron families who were quite prestigious in the North.
At this moment, the nobles in the hall were arguing fiercely with Charlotte's followers.
"Lord! We must see the Lord. Since you said that the Lord is not in danger, why do you want to prevent our meeting? Or are you lying?"
"Hmph, he's just an elf expelled from Luna Island. Do you really think he is the controller of Castel?"
"Only the lord can order us, and we...will only obey the orders of the lord!"
The nobles looked determined and questioned Sebas, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Sebastian glanced at the aggressive nobles in the hall, and his eyes fell on the leader, Viscount Len Castel:
"Your Excellency, the Viscount, you have acted like this at this critical moment. Can I understand that you have betrayed your master?"
After listening to Sebastian's words, Viscount Len Castel slowly opened his eyes.
He sighed and said:
"Your Excellency Sebastian, as the head of Len Castel's family, I am naturally extremely loyal to the Earl..."
"It's just that what everyone said makes sense. Our allegiance is to Castel, and our allegiance is to the Earl."
"But so many days have passed, but we have never seen the Earl. We only have you who gives orders on behalf of the Earl."
"Your Excellency Sebastian, I admit that the Earl trusts you, but the Earl trusts you, but that does not mean that the nobles in the territory also trust you..."
"Not to mention, you are an elf in the first place."
"You told us that the earl is safe and sound, but after such a long time, the earl has not shown up. No matter how you think about it, you must give us an explanation..."
As he said that, the old Viscount looked over deeply:
"Or is it true that everything is as the rebels said, that the earl has been controlled by them?"
Sebastian shook his head and said:
"Your Excellency Len Castel, what the rebels took away was only the master's substitute. I think I have said this many times."
Viscount Len Castel shook his head and said:
"Then I think you should explain everything clearly to us. Since the person who was kidnapped before was a substitute, where is the real Earl?"
"You have been using various reasons to prevent us from meeting the earl, week after week, week after week..."
"As of today, a full month has passed..."
"Now that the Earl has disappeared for so long, various rumors have gradually spread throughout the territory, and some even say that the Earl has been murdered."
"Your Excellency Sebastian, it's not that I want to doubt you, but the territory is currently experiencing internal and external troubles, and people's hearts are floating. Even if it is to unite people's hearts, the nobles really need an explanation!"
Many nobles also echoed:
"Yeah, we need an explanation!"
"When we accept the call, it is the Earl who responds, not the steward of the Earl's Mansion!"
"Do you really think you can represent Castel?"
Looking at the aggressive nobles, Sebastian's face looked a little unsightly.
After listening to the nobles' words, Charlotte's followers behind Sebastian also looked at each other, showing hesitation.
"Se...Mr. Sebastian, I think what they said makes sense. If you know about the Earl's situation, you should tell everyone."
One knight hesitated for a moment and said.
"Yes, the rebels have already launched a war against us, and have assembled more than ten thousand troops. They have also won the support of neighboring lords. If the earl fails to come forward, their claims will be confirmed, and the remaining nobles will also be swayed. Uncertain."
Another knight agreed.
Sebastian wrinkled and looked at the followers around him:
"You...do you all think so?"
The followers looked at each other, hesitant, but finally nodded slightly.
Being stared at by many eyes, Sebastian sighed and said:
"The master is safe and sound, but...it is not convenient for the master to show up right now."
"I am entrusted by my master. During this period, I will exercise Castel's lordship authority on behalf of my master. This is evidenced by my master's handwriting!"
As he spoke, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms and showed it to everyone.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Viscount Leon Castells.
The parchment was passed to the old Viscount. He picked it up and looked at it carefully for a moment and said:
"This is indeed the Earl's handwriting, and it is also stamped with the Earl's seal."
"However, I'm afraid I still can't convince the public just by relying on this..."
"His Excellency Viscount Len-Castell, what exactly do you want to say? Do you want to force the master to show up?"
Sebastian said coldly.
The old viscount sighed:
"Your Majesty Sebas, what you said is wrong. The Castel Territory has encountered an unprecedented rebellion. No matter what trouble the Earl encounters, it is only natural to show up at this moment to stabilize people's hearts."
"Although it is disrespectful to say this, if the earl cannot show up, then he has failed to fulfill his obligations as a lord..."
"So... you mean you will be the lord?"
Sebastian looked at him coldly.
The old viscount shook his head:
"I dare not. I am only the vassal of the Earl and a supporter of Castel..."
"It's just that the nobles have always had a tradition that when the lord is unable to exercise power, the nobles should form a temporary regency cabinet to temporarily control the territory."
"Mr. Sebastian, if the Earl is unable to show up, this is the only way to get the support of all the nobles. Only in this way can we gather all our strength to fight the rebels!"
"Oh? Regency cabinet? Then I would like to ask, who will be the regent minister?"
As soon as Viscount Ryan Castel finished speaking, a crisp voice came from outside the hall, with a little playfulness.
