MTL - Tome of Blood-Chapter 171 -21- I'm so cute

  Chapter 171-21-The old man is so cute

   When Sebastian returned to the hotel room, Shirley was doing makeup on Charlotte.

  Charlotte saw the Flame Spirit coming in in the mercury mirror without looking back, and smiled lightly:

   "Are you done talking?"

   "Well, the chat is over."

  Sebas nodded, and subconsciously looked at Charlotte who was sitting in front of the dressing table with his back facing him.

   At this glance, he was quickly stunned.

   I saw that Charlotte's aristocratic costume had been replaced by a patched civilian costume.

But this is not the most surprising thing. What is surprising is the pair of furry wolf ears on top of her head, and the wolf tail behind her that is somehow fixed, and her hair color is also dyed like a werewolf. gray.

   While Shirley's work is still going on, she is carefully gluing the werewolf-specific hair on both sides of Charlotte's cheeks.

   Sebastian: …

   "How? Like?"

  Charlotte motioned for Shirley to stop, then looked back at Sebas with a smile, revealing a pair of red eyes.

   This whole body, only the eyes are not disguised.

   Sebastian was slightly stunned under her sweet smile, and couldn't help saying:

   "Like, very similar, very much like a down-and-out lady from the werewolf family who ran away from home... Well, the clothes you prepared are quite real."

  Charlotte:  …

  She looked at the mercury mirror again, pondered for a moment, and said to Shirley:

   "The skin becomes rougher and duller..."

  Shirley nodded and continued with her work.

  Sebas could only feel her hands flying over Charlotte's face, as if by magic, Charlotte's appearance soon changed.

  Looking at the appearance of the little werewolf girl who looked more and more like an ordinary werewolf girl, he couldn't help saying:

   "Sulli's makeup skills... are really comparable to a magician..."

  Charlotte smiled and said:

   "Of course, Shirley is a professional maid."

   After speaking, she and Sebastian looked at each other across the mirror, thought for a while, and asked:

   "Looking at the dinner table, Lu Fu seems to have something on his mind?"

  Sebastian's face suddenly became strange, and he nodded:

   "Yes, there is indeed something on his mind. He just told me everything."

   "About me?"

   "Yes, about you."

"Say."

   "Thanks to the 'miracle' at the coming-of-age ceremony, he really regards you as the saint of the holy royal family."

  Charlotte:  …

   "Even Luf thinks so, it seems that this label is more tightly attached than I thought."

  Charlotte said helplessly.

  She did have the idea of ​​using the name of the saint to facilitate her actions in the territory.

  But the pretense is the pretense, if the momentum is too big, too much attention, it will have the opposite effect.

On the one hand, this means that she has become a target representing the Holy Royal Court, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and may even accidentally hurt "one of my own people"; .

  Charlotte wants to squeeze the wool, not to involve herself.

   "Indeed, the rumor that you are a saint is more widespread than we imagined, but it seems that the rumors in Castelland are more powerful than other places. There must be someone behind this."

   Sebastian said.

  After hearing what he said, Charlotte narrowed her eyes:

   "It's nothing more than those nobles who oppose me, let them dance around for a few more days."

   As she spoke, she changed the subject:

   "For tonight's operation, you and Niss will follow me. Our identities are new miners. You are my brother, and Niss is my pet."

  The strong miners in the Castel silver mine will disappear mysteriously, so most of the miners are actually old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are countless child laborers.

  Of course, for demihumans and orcs, even child laborers are as strong as adult human males with slightly weaker physical strength.

  The wages of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are definitely less than that of ordinary miners, except at night. The Castel Silver Mine operates around the clock for twelve months a year, and there are miners working every night.

  In order to earn more money, many child laborers choose to work at night.

  However, many demihumans tend to be nocturnal by nature, and working at night is indeed more efficient for them.

   These things were told to Charlotte by the werewolf Luf.

   Knowing that there are a large number of child laborers in the mining area, Charlotte's mood is still a bit complicated.

   After all, the property rights of the Castel Silver Mine belong to her in name, and in a sense, the boss who exploits child labor is herself.

  Of course, she just had a chance to see what was going on in the mine.

   "What do you think, brother Sebastian?"

   Put away all kinds of thoughts, Charlotte turned her head and moved the fake ears on the top of her head, and smiled brightly at her housekeeper.

   "Brother...Brother..."

  Hearing Charlotte's title, Sebastian couldn't help but gasped, and subconsciously raised his waist. He suddenly felt a sense of pressure, but at the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

   "What? Brother has a problem? How about changing to brother?"

  Charlotte pouted and tilted her head.

  Looking at her incomparably cute appearance, Sebas swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said brightly:

   "It's still... still brother, but you don't need to call him by name."

   "Why do I feel like I'm actually enjoying it?"

  Charlotte teased deliberately.

   "You misunderstood, it's just that I always wanted to have a cute... um, beautiful sister like you."

  Sebastian blushed, then straightened his back, regaining his elegance, respectful and authentic.

   This guy obviously wanted to say cute at the beginning, but maybe he got out of his mouth and realized that it seems disrespectful to say cute to a "god", so he changed his words to beautiful.

  Charlotte doesn't care.

  She knew she was really cute.

  Every morning when she wakes up, the first thing she does is to admire her beautiful face in the mirror, and secretly say "I'm so cute", and she will be in a good mood for the rest of the day.

   It can be regarded as a kind of comfort in the heart. Although the gender has changed, but in another way, many people want to time travel to become such a beautiful and cute little vampire with cheats and money, but they can't wear it!

  …

  After Charlotte finished putting on her makeup, Sebastian followed suit.

   Soon, a pair of fresh werewolf brothers and sisters came out.

  The only problem is that the younger sister is much shorter than the elder brother, and looks more like a father and daughter.

  Charlotte's body is obviously of a late-developed type. When she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she looked like she was twelve or thirteen years old. Later, she became a vampire.

   But Charlotte is still satisfied.

  Besides the fact that she is a bit crippled in height, at least she is not as cumbersome as Charlotte who grew up in the posture of the true ancestor.

   When the two of them packed up and were ready to go, Nice was already ready.

   This guy seems to be getting fat again, especially the swollen belly. It seems that he didn't eat less while everyone was busy.

   "Meow! Lord Charlotte, you are finally ready! When are we leaving?!"

  Finally being led by the great "God" to make trouble, Niss looked very excited, and jumped in front of Charlotte with a cat's tail raised high.

  However, Charlotte looked at it and sent it to the pet hospital. The veterinarian would definitely say that your cat is seriously overweight and should lose weight, otherwise it is likely to have arthritis and heart disease that affect the weight of life, and soon fell into contemplation.

   "The werewolf brothers and sisters who live in poverty, shouldn't have such a fat pet cat?"

   She glanced at the patched coats of herself and Sebastian, then turned her head and asked.

   "No, unless it's food with you. After all, werewolves eat meat."

   Sebastian said with a smile.

  Nice:…

  Charlotte sighed, squatted down and patted Nice's fat cat head:

   "Nice, you really should lose weight."

   After speaking, he passed the black cat and walked out.

  Sebastian also patted Nice's cat on the head, and sighed:

   "Your Excellency Nice, did you hear that? The master wants you to lose weight. When you go back this time, don't take a carriage. It's better to exercise more and go for a run."

  Nice:…

  …

  Although Nice is as fat as a pig disguised as a cat, Charlotte finally took it.

   Instead of being held in his arms as a pet, he let himself follow behind and sneak in at night.

  Anyway, its hair is also black, and it cannot be seen at night without the lights on. The supervisor of the mine is not a demihuman with strong night vision, but a human noble.

  The Castel Silver Mine is located in the east of the Silver Mining City, stretching across the city and beyond.

  This is not the earliest mining point of the silver mine. The earliest mining point is elsewhere, but with the continuous mining for hundreds of years, the mine has been dug deeper and deeper, and the main mining area has been transferred here.

  Castel's underground mine veins are huge, divided into the southern area and the northern area. Among them, the southern area is the largest and is owned by the Crescent Royal Family, while the northern area is smaller and is the Castel family's own mining area.

  The two districts are actually connected, and the daily management is the same, and they are all managed by the Castel Mining Workshop under the Castel family.

In the earliest days, the ownership of the mining workshop was all owned by the owner of the Castel family. With the enfeoffment and the division of interests for hundreds of years, now, the ownership of the Castel owner is less than five years old. The remaining 50% were scattered in the hands of other noble families in Castel.

   It is worth mentioning that the Crescent Royal Family does not participate in the operation of the mining workshop. They are only responsible for collecting cash receipts and Mithril, and there are supervisors and troops stationed in the mining workshop, a total of 1,500 people.

   This is another point of Charlotte's doubts.

   If there are dragons in the mines, why didn't the overseers and troops of the Crescent Royal family respond?

  You must know that those who can be sent here by the New Moon royal family to serve as supervisors and guards must be extraordinary, and at least they must be at the second level of Silver Moon.

   As for the army, let alone the army, Charlotte has already seen the regular army of the Kingdom escorting the third prince Philip on the way to Castel, and the overall strength is also very strong.

  A giant dragon may be very strong, but with the power of the New Moon Royal Family, it is not difficult to mobilize troops to slaughter it.

   Unless that dragon is legendary.

  But a legendary dragon will not allow humans to dig mines on their foreheads and on their dinner plates.

   Or... In fact, there are no dragons in the mining area? But have no secrets?

  Charlotte was thoughtful.

  With all kinds of questions, Charlotte arrived as promised, and met the werewolf Luf outside the mining area at the agreed time.

   Seeing Charlotte's appearance, Lu Fu was obviously taken aback.

   "How? Like?"

  Charlotte asked with a smile.

  Luf nodded, with emotion on his face:

   "Like... really like... If I didn't know it was you, I would have looked at it from a distance and really thought I had met a tribe."

   "Looking at it from a distance? So... there are loopholes in the details?"

  Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she grasped the key to Luf's words.

  Luf scratched his head, hesitant to speak.

   "Say it, it's okay."

  Charlotte encouraged.

  Luf hesitated for a moment, then bit the bullet and said:

   "It's only for werewolves with a keen sense of smell, maybe humans shouldn't be able to find it..."

   As he spoke, he glanced at Charlotte and said cautiously:

   "Your body smells so good."

  Charlotte:  …

  Luf's words made her suddenly realize a problem.

   That is, no matter how much makeup she looks like, it can't change the fact that she is essentially a nobleman who takes a bath every day.

  Miria's local nobles are not as hygienic as she is, let alone a werewolf who has been wandering and doing all kinds of coolies.

  That's right, blood races are very good at hiding their breath.

  However, that is the breath of hidden magic, not the smell.

  Charlotte couldn't help looking at the black cat Nice.

  As a mysterious and extraordinary creature with keen perception, she didn't believe that this guy didn't find this loophole.

  Being stared at by Charlotte, Nice was also a little uncomfortable. It cleared its throat and said:

   "Ahem... Lord Charlotte, isn't this one who hasn't entered the mine yet? I've prepared the magic to hide the smell."

  Charlotte nodded in satisfaction.

   "Well, with Lord Nice's words, then there is no problem."

   Werewolf Luf said.

  Nice applied a magic to conceal the smell on Charlotte and Sebastian, and then the two and the cat followed Luf into the mining area.

  At the entrance of the mining area, there were already some miners waiting. There seemed to be almost twenty of them, and all of them were sub-humans.

   Moreover, the vast majority are werewolves.

  These miners were male and female, old and young. Charlotte even saw a young werewolf who looked about his own age, dirty, thin and weak.

  Of course, it is said that she is about the same age, but she looks younger than her real age. Considering that the demihuman's lifespan is similar to that of a human being, the other party should only be a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

  The leader was an old werewolf old miner with a bent back and a wine bag pinned to his waist.

   Seeing Lu Fu, he frowned slightly:

   "Why is it so slow today?"

   As he said that, his eyes fell on Charlotte and Sebastian behind Luf again, with some doubts.

   "Old Logan, this is a member of our tribe, Basai and his sister Leisa, Tanan and Roka have something to do tonight and can't come here. They volunteered to come and replace them for one night."

   Luf said in a deep voice.
