Chapter 309: -68- Do you understand what I mean?

Chapter 309: -68- Do you understand what I mean?

Having disconnected the projection link with the Elder Council, Duke Yoroc returned to reality.

Reflecting on the meaningful gaze of the Great Elder he had just seen, his expression changed repeatedly, ultimately he couldn’t help but curse,

"These old fellows...every one of them, all old foxes!"

After speaking, he paced back and forth in the room, finally sighed, and took out a slightly smaller Communication Crystal.

The crystal light shifted, and a ghostly figure appeared within it.

It was a thin figure wearing a Mage’s robe, with various bottles and devices placed on the Magic Table behind him, busy doing something that seemed to be magic research.

Feeling the summoning, the thin figure in the crystal paused slightly.

However, he quickly reacted, hurriedly put down his work, came to the front of the crystal, and greeted Duke Yoroc respectfully,

"Lord Duke, have you... finished with the Elder Council?"

Seeing the bottles and jars projected from the crystal, Duke Yoroc’s face darkened immediately, and anger flared up in his heart,

"Yulster! I should have mentioned that, as the direct person in charge of the Returning Star Plan, you should be more mindful, and not always mess around with these bottles and jars!"

"The failure of the Lilac War is inseparable from you fellows who never focus on the main task, only knowing how to fiddle with things! Even facing the betrayal of the Red Lilac was unclear!"

The figure projected from the Communication Crystal was indeed Count Yulster.

However, at this moment, this Blood Count had none of his usual dignity and momentum when presiding over the remote meeting of the Nais Clan, looking like a Magician immersed in magic research.

He slightly covered the Magic Table behind him and gave a forced smile with a cough,

"Cough cough... Lord Duke, as you know, the torment of a long life is too dull, what we can do to pass time is only to find some hobbies suitable for ourselves, just like you enjoy playing chess with the Elf Queen..."

Watching his explanation making Duke Yoroc’s face grow darker, Yulster realized his mistake, quickly stopped talking, and changed the topic,

"Um... Lord Duke, our people have already stopped infiltrating Castel, did your meeting go smoothly? Is there anything you need me to do by contacting me?"

Duke Yoroc took a deep breath and said,

"The Great Elder commanded that all items related to the thorny rose pattern must be immediately dealt with, however... Castel is an important link in the Returning Star Plan, we cannot give up on it."

Yulster’s eyes widened,

"Dispose of items related to the thorny rose pattern? Does that mean... there truly is a deity behind Castel?"

"Wait, the Great Elder said not to give up on Castel? Does this mean we continue the infiltration into Castel? But... isn’t there a resurgence of a deity behind Castel? Surely we aren’t being asked to report the resurgence of an Evil God to the Holy Royal Court?"

Duke Yoroc frowned,

"Why report? Not to mention whether reporting is of any use against a deity who can lurk under the eyes of the Holy Royal Court for hundreds of years, attracting the attention of the Holy Royal Court at this moment, do you want to completely jeopardize the Returning Star Plan?"

Yulster respectfully asked,

"So... what do you mean?"

Duke Yoroc thought for a moment and said,

"The Great Elder said Castel is an important link in the Returning Star Plan, we cannot give up on it..."

"For us, we only need Castel to support us while we are executing the Returning Star Plan, to act as our backup."

"Gaining support doesn’t only mean bringing them into our sphere of influence, negotiating and trading to make them allies is also a choice!"

Yulster considered this in his heart:

"Duke," you mean... to extend an olive branch to Castel?"

Duke Yoroc nodded,

"I have this idea, but... everything still depends on the actual situation over at Castel’s side."

Count Yulster turned solemn:

"I understand your meaning now. I will send the message down to further expedite the background investigation of Count Castel..."

"Merely doing this is not enough..."

Duke Yoroc shook his head and said,

"Stopping infiltration has greatly delayed our plan; since we’ve decided to make a change, we need to act faster."

"Your meaning is...?"

"I intend to send a delegation to Castel, a delegation representing our Nais clan to speak directly with the Castel family."

Duke Yoroc stated pensively.

Count Yulster’s eyes widened:

"A delegation? Direct communication?"

"This... it’s said that Count Castel is currently investigating the Bloodline in the Northern Land, targeting directly at our Nais clan. Isn’t sending a delegation now directly exposing us..."

Duke Yoroc interrupted him:

"I am certainly aware of the risks, but... this also represents sincerity."

Count Yulster was moved and said:

"I understand your meaning now. I will arrange it, to form a delegation to negotiate with the Castel family."

Duke Yoroc shook his head:

"A regular delegation is not sufficient; since we want to express sincerity, it is crucial that an earl leads this mission."

"Although human earls and our earls are not the same, having an earl as the representative also represents our respect and sincerity!"

Hearing this, Count Yulster instinctively looked at Duke Yoroc, and Duke Yoroc looked back at him:

"Yulster, you are directly responsible for the Returning Star Plan, and no one knows the specific progress of the plan better than you."

"I think... you understand my intention, right?"

Count Yulster: ...

...

The trace of the Blood Demon Church added a touch of uncertainty to Charlotte’s investigative plan.

However, apart from the attack that Sebastian endured, no traces of Blood Demon Cultists appeared in Castel for the following period.

Even the Black Dragon seemed to have vanished.

Viscount Lien Castel’s inspection operation in the southern part of the Count Castle Domain was also proceeding smoothly. Although inevitably facing opposition from local nobles, with strong support from the Castel family, the small and middle nobles of the territory really had no choice but to refuse.

Charlotte, staying in North Port of the Capital Mansion, almost received daily progress reports from the Old Viscount. To her surprise, the Nais clan had indeed completely retreated.

The success of the Old Viscount’s actions was also for this reason. The abandonment by the Bloodline left those scheming nobles without options, ultimately forcing them to genuinely accept the new lord’s inspection.

Meanwhile, a Caric sailing ship from the Falling Star Kingdom, carrying the Nais delegation led by Count Yulster, entered the port of North Port.
