Chapter 53: Effect of Extraordinary Blood

Chapter 53: Effect of Extraordinary Blood

Acting weird is just an acting.

When Charlotte's expression became a bit impatient, Sebastian immediately became serious.

He stood up gracefully, brushed off the dust elegantly, bowed to the still dumbfounded Casimodo, and smiled slightly, saying.

"Lord Casimodo, we are setting off now, and the glorious task of guarding the manor is entrusted to you."

With that, Sebastian laughed heartily, gracefully jumped, and also boarded the elongated carriage.

The door closed, and the stout butler driving the carriage exclaimed "Ya" and the carriage slowly started moving.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that Casimodo reacted, his expression changing slightly. He quickly commanded the servants beside him.

"Quick! Prepare the carriage! We must catch up!"

And only at this moment, lazy meowing came from upstairs. The black cat Nice, twisting its fluffy body cutely, lazily descended the stairs, yawning.

"Meow... The Duke's dried fish is really good! The maids' long legs are also very beautiful!"

"The wine is also great, this night, this cat slept so comfortably!"

"Beautiful Miss Charlotte, how was your rest last night?"

After speaking, it looked around, trying to find a familiar petite figure. But it only saw the busy servants and Casimodo, who was hurriedly preparing to board the hastily prepared carriage.

The familiar figure was not inside the carriage.

"Meow? Where's Miss Charlotte?"

Nice tilted its head.

"Lord Nice! The master was taken away by Sebastian from the Rose Society! I must hurry to catch up!"

Casimodo quickly said.

With that, he exclaimed "Ya" and drove away, raising a cloud of dust.

"Meow cough cough..."

Nice was choked by a noseful of dust, coughing several times. Its brain, just awakened, finally reacted, and its cat eyes widened instantly.

"Meow?"

"Meow meow meow?!"

"What? Sebastian took away the great Miss Charlotte?!"

"Damn it! This shameless guy! He actually stole from me when I wasn't paying attention! How insidious!"

After speaking, it lifted its short legs and hurriedly chased after the carriage, even remembering to cast a quickenng spell on itself while running, panting, and shouting.

"Casimodo! Wait for me! I'm going too! Meow—!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the Rose Society's exclusive customized elongated luxury carriage. Charlotte sat on the soft silk velvet cushion, facing Sebastian, who had removed his mask and had a respectful expression.

This carriage was much larger than the Castell family's carriage, equally luxurious inside, with decorations in elven style visible everywhere.

There was also soft and soothing music flowing slowly, a magical echo formation humming ethereal elven songs installed in the corner.

On the side shelf of the carriage, there were exquisite and elegant varieties of red wine, milk, blood vials, and goblets.

One can imagine how much the owner of this carriage must enjoy in daily life.

"Great master, would you like some milk or fresh blood?"

Sebastian elegantly picked up the most delicate bottle of milk and a small bottle emitting a faint magical wave, smiling in a courteous and respectful manner.

"The milk is from the celestial cows in the Moon Forest of Luna Island, with a mellow taste and rich nutrition, beneficial for the growth of your sacred body."

"The blood is from the second-tier magical creature, the bipedal wyvern, containing a hint of dragon power, with special magic formation preserving the most prime vitality."

With that, Sebastian slightly lifted the red bottle, respectfully saying.

"Sebastian recommends you to taste the blood of the bipedal wyvern."

"Last night, I found out that you were drinking the most ordinary animal blood, and it was only preserved crudely with ice cubes, so I prepared this specially."

"Considering that your body is still that of a newly transformed Bloodborne, merely drinking ordinary blood might not fully satisfy your body's craving for blood and could only delay the onset of the blood curse..."

"Although I know that for someone like you, you don't care about the blood curse in your body, and drinking blood has already become a pleasure for you..."

"But considering that your strength has just recovered, drinking the blood of extraordinary creatures or intelligent beings might be more helpful for your strength recovery."

Blood curse?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

This was a new term she had heard about Bloodborne. She wondered if it was synonymous with blood addiction.

She hadn't felt any side effects from drinking horse blood these days, at least each time it only satisfied her blood craving.

However, looking at the red bottle Sebastian picked up, looking at the viscous, crystal-clear red liquid inside, she couldn't help but feel a strong desire in her body. However, Charlotte quickly suppressed this desire.

Instead of directly answering Sebastian's question, she leaned back against the window, calmly looking at him.

Those beautiful, deep blue eyes carried a calm and mature demeanor as well as a kind of lofty aura that didn't match her youthful appearance.

Being stared at by such eyes, Sebastian inexplicably felt a little guilty, awkwardly shifting his gaze.

"You're competent in your work, but don't play such tricks in the future."

The girl said calmly.

With that, she glanced meaningfully at Sebastian.

"I dislike being tested."

Although her tone remained calm, there was a hint of displeasure in her words.

Cold sweat instantly dripped down from Sebastian's forehead.

He slightly paled, swallowed hard, and then respectfully and nervously bowed his head.

"Sebastian... understands, it was Sebastian's rashness."

Indeed, it was a test...

Seeing the other's performance, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She felt that Sebastian's state today wasn't quite right. Although he was trying to present himself, many aspects were too exaggerated, so much so that sometimes it seemed like he was trying to provoke her.

This gave her a somewhat familiar feeling.

It was like her past self, constantly testing the limits of her crush, trying to grasp the true personality and boundaries of her crush in order to get closer to her as much as possible without causing displeasure.

This was a necessary way for a "bootlicker" to actively understand the other person.

Because of inner humility and reluctance to ask directly, it was necessary to actively understand and admire the other party in this awkward way.

This way of obtaining information was not the best, and sometimes it might backfire. But if handled properly, it could be the most effective.

It was obvious that Sebastian handled it quite well.

Charlotte instantly understood.

This was because Sebastian still had no idea about her various thoughts, so he repeatedly jumped around on the dangerous edge in this way. At the same time, he was probably trying to further understand her character. And a person, only when truly wanting to submit to the other, would choose to do so.

Thinking about it, she said.

"I don't like overly exaggerated people."

"Doing things down-to-earth will catch my eye."

Sebastian's heart stirred, respectfully lowering his head, like an obedient golden retriever.

"Sebastian... understands."

After reprimanding the other person around a bit, Charlotte leaned back, relying on the window, lazily extending her hand.

"Bring it over, let me see how the dragon's blood you prepared tastes."

Sebastian's eyes instantly lit up, and it seemed like there was a tail wagging behind him, as if he were an acknowledged big dog.

He suddenly smiled, his eyebrows raised, and eagerly said.

"Please taste it!"

Charlotte took it, and gracefully took a sip, feeling a sweet and warm power flowing down her throat and quickly spreading throughout her body.

In that instant, she was surprised to find that the Bloodborne power, which hadn't improved much since awakening, had subtly increased a bit!

So... drinking the blood of extraordinary creatures could help Bloodbornes enhance their power!

Charlotte was shaken.

Wait, just now Sebastian also mentioned blood from intelligent beings.

Could drinking the blood of intelligent beings also have some special effects on Bloodbornes?

So, the reason why vampires in the church records liked human blood so much, especially the blood of extraordinary individuals, was because of this?

Charlotte pondered.

She had always been thinking about how to strengthen herself after the mastery of majesty magic, but now... it seemed like she had seen another path!

"However, it's not right. The church's records state that Bloodborne ranks are strict, and even specifically mention that, without the support of "elders," it is generally difficult for Bloodbornes to advance in ranks."

"If just drinking the blood of extraordinary beings can continuously increase strength, then Bloodbornes would be too abnormal, and they definitely wouldn't have recorded it like that."

"In that case, this method of enhancing strength through blood drinking should have limitations, probably unable to truly advance, but only allowing vampires to infinitely approach the peak of the same rank..."

"But for me, this is what I need most, it can allow me to infinitely enhance my strength to nearly the first tier Starry Sky before advancing!"

With that in mind, Charlotte's gaze toward the wyvern blood in her hand changed.

She took a deep breath and drank the blood in the goblet in one gulp.

After drinking a cup of wyvern blood, Charlotte felt instantly full.

It wasn't the ordinary sense of fullness, but more like the feeling of overflowing energy after being charged.

This energy might be the remaining life force in the blood.

She could feel a slight increase in her strength, just a slight. After this slight increase, it gradually stopped, as if it had reached the limit of this digestion.

And the overflowing energy within her body had nowhere to go, beginning to dissipate slowly through the girl's breathing.

"It may not be possible to enhance strength quickly by drinking large amounts of blood. Instead, it is likely necessary to slowly savor to fully absorb it!"

Charlotte made a new judgment.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

Sebastian looked at the girl expectantly.

Charlotte slowly put down the goblet, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and said calmly.

"Not bad."

Sebastian's eyes instantly lit up.

"Please taste the milk next!"

He handed over a cup of milk next, as eager as a wagging big dog.

Although she was already full, seeing his enthusiastic and expectant appearance, like a big dog wagging its tail non-stop, Charlotte couldn't bear to refuse. She took it and took a sip.

And with this sip, Charlotte's eyes lit up once again.

Silky, mellow. With a warm energy.

It even faintly tasted better than the milk prepared at home!

Obviously, even though the Rose Society's financial resources couldn't match Castell's, their connection in the extraordinary realm far surpassed Casimodo who is a mere mortal.

These things couldn't even be obtained with all the gold tana!

"How about it? Great master?"

Sebastian looked at the girl with anticipation.

Charlotte fell silent.

Her gaze fell on him, pondering for a long time, she finally made a decision.

Suddenly, the girl smiled, her beautiful and innocent face blooming like a flower, with a brilliant smile full of innocent purity, like a little girl who had found a beloved toy.

"Sebastian, you... not bad, stay by my side as a steward in the future."

Seeing the enchanting smile, Sebastian was momentarily stunned, then quickly bowed respectfully.

But soon, he realized what the girl had said, and his gaze almost lit up instantly, excitedly saying.

"Great master! Your humble servant Sebastian will not disappoint you!"

"Of course, it's just a probationary period. If I'm not satisfied, you'll have to pack up and go back to being the boss of your gang."

Charlotte changed the subject.

She leaned against the window, lazily extending a verdant finger to spin the goblet, smiling.

"No problem! Great master! Rest assured! The entire Rose Society is also your power! From today onwards, the Rose Society will be surnamed Castell!"

Sebastian exclaimed excitedly.

Charlotte:...

"Hide your identity well, at least for now. Don't give me any trouble."

She changed her tone instantly, coldly.

"Alright! Great master! From now on, by your side, I'm Stian! From top to bottom of the Rose Society, I will not cause you any trouble!"

Sebastian hastily assured.

Having obtained Charlotte's approval, he was quite excited. If it weren't for the low carriage compartment, the girl even suspected that he might jump up excitedly.

Charlotte shook her head and returned to the main topic.

"Okay, calm down. How did the investigation I asked you to do yesterday go?"

Upon hearing the girl's words, Sebastian's expression also instantly became serious.
