Server SkyVids Link 396 Version 51

Facts have proved that the world will continue to turn without anyone, and people's adaptability is also extremely strong.

Ever since King Louis V started the Great Purge and severely deprived many of his vassals of their titles, the capital has been in a state of panic. The nobles were worried that the fish in the pond would be harmed, and the commoners were worried that they would be regarded as heretics by the reckless city guards and local judicial forces.

However, less than a week after the purge, the entire Lutetia has regained its former tranquility. It seems that the previous big purge and the previous big censorship covering the whole city were all illusions.

The reaction of the civilians is still understandable.

After all, Louis V tried his best to avoid affecting the civilians during the purge, but only targeted the pawns belonging to the Gorefiend Cult in the slums.

On the other hand, the aristocrats were a bit beyond Charlotte's expectations.

She thought that the dissatisfaction and resistance of the nobles against the king would last for a long time, and they would even unite because of Louis V's pressing step by step, but the fact was that after Louis V took out part of the recovered noble wealth to appease , the other nobles almost all calmed down.

Continue the salon banquet, continue to sing and dance, although the talk about the Great Cleansing is still common, but it has also evolved into talking and complaining after dinner.

The inertia and short-sightedness of the New Moon nobles are even more outrageous than Charlotte imagined.

Charlotte could probably guess what the nobles were thinking, but she felt that it would be difficult for His Majesty the King to strengthen the centralization of power. Even if some noble titles were deprived, it would not affect the overall situation.

As long as the fire doesn't burn himself, as long as the king remembers to share the benefits with the nobles, in the eyes of many nobles, the centralization of power by the king is nothing more than the intermittent strengthening of power by the royal family.

It has always been the political tradition of the kingdom to die, and Louis V does not have a heir as strong as him. Perhaps he is frightened now, but considering the age of Louis V, the nobles are more or less worried.

"Just wait for the new king to take the throne. As for now, just bear with it."

It was a rhetoric that even Charlotte had heard.

However, Charlotte didn't think that everything would follow the wishes of the nobles.

Louis V is indeed old, but he is firm in strengthening the centralization of power, not only for the royal family, but also to deal with the Holy Advent.

To be able to build a luxurious palace like the Crescent Palace, Louis V's belief in strengthening the centralization of power is by no means a whim, but a long-term consideration. What the nobles thought of, Charlotte believed that the other party also wanted it.

And...Charlotte believes that the other party must have the means to deal with it.

However, that has nothing to do with Charlotte.

Now that she knows about the Holy Advent, she should also shift her focus to strengthening her power and strength. As for the New Moon Kingdom, there is no need to participate.

Her royal contract with Louis V, her declaration of celibacy, was enough to buy her enough time.

As for the future...

If it really comes to the moment when the gods descend, the old order will definitely be broken, and how to rise in the turmoil of the continent will depend on one's own ability.

Charlotte chose to go to the Royal Library for the same reason.

Knowledge is also power. She may not need some knowledge, but the Northland needs it, and believers need it.

The carriage stopped slowly, and Charlotte put away her thoughts.

"Master, we have arrived."

Sebastian's respectful voice came from outside the car window.

Charlotte nodded slightly, motioned for the maid Shirley to open the door, and then got out of the carriage.

She raised her head, and what she saw was a towering tower.

This tall tower is made of some kind of black boulder, on which ancient and complicated magic lines can be faintly seen, and the mottled traces show the vicissitudes of time.

This is the Royal Library of the New Moon Kingdom.

The Royal Library is the library with the longest history in the New Moon Kingdom. It dates back to the period of the Unet Empire. Its predecessor was the library of the Unet Royal Wizard Tower.

After the demise of the Unet Empire, the Royal Mage Tower was inherited by the Varwa family. The Varwa family banned some banned books and transformed the Mage Tower into a library.

The library's collection is said to exceed 200,000 volumes, ranging from materials on the extraordinary side, to various histories and biographies of the mainland, to various literature, art, and alchemy knowledge.

And the most attractive thing in the collection of books here is the various extraordinary classics collected by noble families.

It is an ancient book that records how to awaken the power of blood and how to develop extraordinary power.

This is also the biggest purpose of Charlotte's trip besides historical data.

Extraordinary power comes from the bloodline. Although the Castel family also has a lot of extraordinary classics, the quality is not too high, and most of them are mainly adapted to the Castel bloodline, which is not suitable for widespread promotion.

Since Charlotte intends to build her own power, it is imperative to develop extraordinary power. Giving believers divine grace is one aspect, but she cannot rely entirely on divine grace to enhance the strength of followers and provide tracers with various Such a "cheat book" is also one of the ways.

The channels for extraordinary promotion are controlled by the nobles, so... providing believers with channels for extraordinary promotion is also a kind of "divine grace", which will help more people step into the path of extraordinary and strengthen the strength of the Northland.

Charlotte doesn't have that much time, and it's impossible to carefully select believers who adapt to the sacred power to develop into priests like the holy royal court, so the best way is to fully bloom and improve the strength of all believers as much as possible. In this way, the power of believers is also used to enhance their own power.

The gods are a group of "parasites", and Charlotte is actually one of them. Since they are "parasites", they should find more "hosts".

Perhaps non-blood-born "host" believers won't get as much benefits as blood-blood believers, but the advantage lies in the fact that there are many people, and the accumulation of small amounts of money is also a considerable amount of divine power.

As for whether this kind of pure power without blood power will cause other problems because it is too complicated...

Charlotte wasn't too worried.

As the True Ancestor of Blood, devouring the bloodline power itself is her ability, no matter who the source of her believers' bloodline power is, as long as the promoted power is shared by her through the faith network, she can successfully absorb it.

This is also a cheat on her "myth level".

Thinking of this, Charlotte took a deep breath and walked towards the library.

The royal library is currently managed by the royal mage group. When the carriage of the Castel family stopped at the door, the mage apprentices who managed the library were alarmed.

And when Charlotte came to the gate of the library, the librarian in a mage robe greeted him enthusiastically:

"Lord Castel, welcome to the Royal Library."

This is the dignity of the great nobles.

Although the Castel family is not a duke, but by virtue of being the first person under the duke, it is enough to make many nobles of the kingdom look up to them.

Even if you come to the Wang Family Library, you are still a distinguished guest.

Seeing the librarian, Charlotte smiled slightly. She motioned Sebastian to take out the VIP pass of the library that Louis V gave her, and said:

"Your Excellency the curator, hello, I'm here today to borrow a few supernatural books."

Seeing the VIP pass, the librarian became even more respectful:

"My lord, please follow me."

Following the librarian, Charlotte enters the Royal Library.

The space inside the library looks larger than the outside, as if using some space magic, and the collection of books is huge, arranged in a spiral.

There are many people who come to borrow books in the library, most of them are dressed as nobles, and very few are not nobles, but they also wear uniforms.

Charlotte glanced at it and recognized that it was a student of the Royal Academy of Magic, which is also the highest institution of the New Moon Kingdom.

The Royal Library is only open to two kinds of people, one is the nobles, and the other is the students of the Academy of Magic.

When Charlotte entered the library, it naturally attracted everyone's curious eyes.

Especially when everyone saw the curator of the library and the subordinate Master Wang family following enthusiastically:

"Who is that? Surprised the curator of the library? Are there so many Wang family mages accompanying him?"

"There is no dress code, and I am not a student of the academy. Judging by the clothes and temperament, I should be a nobleman with a high status."

"Could it be... the princess of which country?"

However, some people recognized Charlotte's identity:

"It's Charlotte of Castel, the Pearl of the Northland, the Holy Maiden of the Royal Court, the richest and youngest Countess of the New Moon Kingdom."

"Hiss...is that the girl who is said to have made the third prince mesmerized by just looking at it, and even wanted to win a war without hesitation?"

"Shut up! This is all a mess, stop listening to some gossip from the taverns in the outer city!"

"But... she is really beautiful. If it were me, I would probably be willing to start a war for her."

"I've said it all, don't go to the tavern to listen to those made-up stories!"

Charlotte: ...

Although the commentators deliberately lowered their voices, Charlotte still heard it clearly with the super high spiritual sense of the blood race.

Thanks to a series of recent events, she is indeed a celebrity in the capital now.

One after another eyes fell on her, either curious, admiring, awed, or hostile...

Um?

hostility?

Charlotte was a little surprised, she didn't expect that people would be hostile to her when she visited a library, and when her spiritual sense extended over, she was suddenly surprised.

The hostile gaze is not a nobleman.

It was some students who were wearing uniforms and belonged to the Royal Academy of Magic.

"Is she the Earl of the North?"

"I heard that she persecuted many extraordinary people in the north, and even forced the people to rebel. The third prince dared to start a war, and the chaos in the north was the first."

"It's really a crime. These nobles, one by one for their own selfish desires, don't care about the lives of civilians at all!"

"Weak on the outside, but a devil on the inside."

"I heard that she also declined the appointment of the saint..."

"Is it a guilty conscience? The church is also rotten."

"What's the use of being beautiful? In the end, this world still depends on extraordinary strength. Without strength, even aristocrats can't keep their status. Such cruelty will definitely be counterattacked in the future."

"You don't know about this. Although she is so young and weak, it is said that she is already a silver moon mage."

"It's already Silver Moon? Wouldn't that be even worse? The people of the Northland are so pitiful."

"Isn't it! Don't look at her pure appearance, I heard that she is quite corrupt in private. The so-called declaration of celibacy is said to be just a cover to cover up her private life."

"Sure enough, nobles... don't have any good things!"

Charlotte: ...

She never expected to hear so many outrageous rumors.

One cannot satisfy all.

Although Charlotte knew that as long as she continued to strengthen her rule over the Northlands and develop her own power, all kinds of rumors would not cease, and those potential enemies would always exist, but she did not expect that there would still be rumors about the Northlands. Such an outrageous degree.

This level can no longer be explained by pure "rumors". Charlotte doesn't believe that there is no one behind the scenes.

Sebastian glanced at the group of students indifferently.

His gaze was very calm, but the moment he looked at those students, the students of the Magic Academy felt a sense of horror that made the hair stand on end. The pressure from the soul made them subconsciously stop discussing.

"Cough, Your Excellency Sebastian, this is the Royal Library."

The librarian coughed lightly and reminded.

"Sorry, Mr. Curator, as a person, I hate rumors about other artificial masters the most on weekdays."

Sebastian replied with a smile.

However, that smile was a little cold.

The librarian said helplessly:

"I'm really sorry, but please don't get acquainted with them. They are just ordinary students, and they must have heard some messy rumors from somewhere."

"You know, many of the students in the Academy of Magic are of commoner origin, and they naturally distrust nobles. Anything about nobles will be thought of as bad. If someone spreads rumors secretly at this time, it will be easy to get them. recognition."

After hearing what the librarian said, Sebastian nodded slightly:

"You are right. It seems that I should check carefully. Who is making rumors about the master behind his back and saying bad things about the master? I heard that you are also a teacher of the Magic Academy. Please also restrain the students of your academy." , after all... the honor of nobles cannot be offended."

After that, he looked away, and the students in the distance also heaved a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, looked more hostile and disgusted at Charlotte and his group, and whispered cautiously.

"Let's go, don't forget the purpose of our coming."

Charlotte shook her head and said.

Although she is also very upset about this inexplicable rumor, she also knows that these students who are being used as guns are not the real rumormongers, and attacking these people will not make these ordinary students who think she is a bad guy sincerely Introspection will only make them more hostile and follow some people's wishes.

As for how to deal with rumors, just leave it to Sebastian, he is professional in this regard.

However, such one-sided malicious remarks made her feel complicated.

Charlotte felt that she was not a good person, but after going to the Northland, she felt that she cared most about the civilians in the territory, and formulated many policies to benefit the civilians.

But I didn't expect that it would be spread like this by the rumormongers.

Charlotte took a step, leaving the front hall of the library and entering a deeper inner hall.

However, the moment she was about to step into the inner hall, she heard an angry voice coming from behind:

"You guys are enough! Which bastard made up this rumor? Slander! It's all slander!"

"I am a student from the North! I have witnessed how the Earl dealt with those evil nobles! The Earl is a good lord. Over the past year, he punished evil and promoted good, stabilized the territory, and paid for it himself. How many nobles can build schools, subsidize the poor, and expand roads?!"

"The lord decided to dedicate his life to the territory, so he vowed not to marry for life. The lord is a good lord, and you will not allow you to blaspheme!"

Hearing this, Charlotte froze.

She looked back and saw a few students in the uniforms of the Magic Academy angrily confronting those students who were talking about her behind their backs.

Those were students from the North who came to study in the capital.

Seeing the angry faces of those students, Charlotte's heart warmed slightly.

At this moment, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.
