Chapter 277 -127- Allies? !
Count Gaston and his son were finally let go by Charlotte.
Of course, before leaving, they had been transformed into blood servants by Charlotte.
Whether they were willing or not, their life and death were actually controlled by Charlotte's thoughts.
As the lowest-level blood servants transformed by Charlotte by diluting the blood power, their blood servant-related power was very weak, and their original extraordinary power would also be weakened.
But this is not all bad.
At least... as transformed blood servants with weak blood power and strong original extraordinary power, they will not be burned or even die when they see the sun like those traditional blood servants who rely on the power of blood to become extraordinary people, but will only feel uncomfortable and weak in the sun.
This will make their blood servant identity more difficult to be discovered.
In addition, in order to prevent the two from fighting to the death, Charlotte even used the mental magic [mental control] that she always avoided using easily, and completely disintegrated the two people's resistance to her.
It can be said that, apart from retaining their self-awareness, Count Gaston and his son have actually become Charlotte's puppets...
This result... is in a sense more terrible than death.
"Master... are you going to start controlling human nobles through blood servant transformation and mental control?"
Looking at Gaston and his son who were going away, Sebastian said with some trepidation and curiosity.
Listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte could clearly sense the tension hidden in the other party's respect.
She also knew why.
The "transformation of blood servants + mental control" method is definitely a BUG-like existence.
With this ability, as long as the blood power is sufficient and the soul is strong enough, Charlotte can even transform all human nobles who are weaker than her.
Even those extraordinary people who are stronger than her, she can even rely on the plug-in of the Holy Book of Blood to force transformation and suppress them with the power of blood.
Such power is too terrible, and it is normal to be feared by others.
In the Miria world where gods exist, this practice of forcibly controlling the life and spirit of intelligent races is also a common practice of "evil gods".
This is not only the "evil" subjectively determined by the Holy King's Court.
It is also the "evil" recognized by the Miria civilization world.
Once this "evil" is made public, it will usher in the siege of the entire civilized world.
In the long river of history, one of the important reasons why the blood clan was overthrown was that the blood clan often used similar means to control the extraordinary people of various races.
And the reason why the blood clan suddenly fell into civil war and declined greatly at the peak of the race is that the blood clan gradually lost itself in power due to long-term mental control of other races.
Even the mysterious disappearance of the blood ancestor is believed by many historical researchers to be the same reason.
Spiritual magic is easy to make people lose themselves, especially the spiritual magic that controls others.
Among them, the blood clan is known for its easy power to run wild, easy will to lose, and finally fall into madness.
This is not just for ordinary blood clans.
Similarly, it also includes those myths among the blood clan.
In addition, many of the ancient gods who have revived in the long history have also embarked on a similar path, and then gradually lost themselves in the process of power recovery and became crazy "evil gods".
Charlotte heard the hidden worry in Sebastian's words.
He was probably worried that she would also take a similar path.
Shortcuts have always been accompanied by costs, especially in the field where the spirit and the extraordinary are intertwined.
This mysterious field is believed to involve the origin of mythology, and even the gods have not studied it thoroughly.
"Don't worry, I don't have any similar plans. This time, turning them into blood servants is just a temporary response to the enemy."
Charlotte said.
She really didn't have similar ideas.
Or, in fact, she herself was quite cautious about the power of mental control.
This power is indeed very strong and convenient, but she herself is not sure whether she will become dependent on it if she gets used to similar powers.
All you can say is to control yourself as much as possible, but you can't completely abandon it. After all... this power is also the innate advantage of the blood race, and it's useless if you don't use it.
The key lies in how to use it. For example, if you really want to gain a group of loyal followers, you shouldn't and can't rely on "mental control" to achieve it.
After all, even if we don’t mention the self-loss that may be caused by the abuse of spiritual magic, as long as it is magic, there is the possibility of "breaking", and the only problem is the difficulty of breaking it.
The loyalty forcibly obtained by "magic" will eventually be destroyed by "magic".
After listening to Charlotte's words, Sebastian was somewhat relieved:
"Sorry, Master, I worry too much."
Soon, his expression returned to being relaxed, and he praised:
"However, in this way, Castel's crisis can be successfully resolved."
"With Count Gaston and his son as a springboard, we can fully expose the conspiracy of the third prince against Castel, and his cooperation with the Blood Demon Cult is enough to deal a heavy blow to him, and even drive him out of the Principality of Boulder in one fell swoop."
"If the commotion gets bigger, maybe even his inheritance right to the kingdom may be lost!"
"And we can win all of this without fighting..."
"Master, you are worthy of being you. You have completely grasped the initiative of the war in one meeting!"
With his worries relieved, Sebastian subconsciously flattered him again.
However, Charlotte shook her head slightly:
"No, the war... we still have to fight."
"Exposing the conspiracy is just a means of pressure. It may indeed relieve Castel's crisis, but it may not work."
"If all the actions of the third prince are tacitly approved by the king, then no matter how much pressure is applied, it may be suppressed by the Crescent Royal Family..."
"Instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on ourselves. This war is indeed a crisis for us, but isn't it an opportunity?"
After listening to Charlotte's words, Sebastian's heart moved slightly and fell into thought:
"Opportunity..."
At the same time, in the woods outside the town.
The army of the Earl of Tulip, who was ambushed, also welcomed back their commander.
"Lord Earl!"
Seeing the returning Earl Gaston and his son, the army adjutant hurriedly greeted them.
Count Gaston glanced at his adjutant, and a barely perceptible red light flashed in the depths of his pupils:
"Pass the order down, withdraw the troops immediately, return to the base, and then... prepare for war!"
