Charlie hadn't been able to get a word in since the beginning. After all, she didn't understand what had happened in Dammas, but Charlie still wanted to help a little - otherwise, she hadn't done anything along the way and always felt frustrated.

Of course, part of this frustration also came from Tricia. Compared with Tricia, Charlie felt that she was still a little self-aware. She couldn't compare with her in figure, appearance, and strength, needless to say. Moreover, Tricia was mature and steady, giving people a very reliable feeling. In comparison, Charlie lost a lot.

So at least it has some effect, right?

But the fact is, Grace, Becky, and even Alman all have their own tasks to do, but Charlie is the only one who is idle from beginning to end.

This made Charlie even more frustrated.

Elsa had already seen through Charlie's little thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, Charlie, don't be unhappy."

"Why am I unhappy..."

"It's all written on your face," Aisha pinched Charlie's cheek, "I have a mission for you too."

Charlie perked up instantly.

"what? What?"

"Many of the vampires here are restless. As you can see, there are more than one vampires like Kingsley. Your mission is to deal with them."

Aisha said with a smile.

"You can take this opportunity to study how to control your own strength. Capturing those vampires will be a great opportunity for you to have them take turns serving as your sparring partners."

Training Charlie, this is Elsa's real purpose.

Two months ago, Elsa had never thought of letting Shirley gain more power. Although Shirley was only a silver medal adventurer at that time, her true strength was already comparable to that of a gold medal adventurer. Elsa felt that was enough.

But now Elsa has changed her mind, because she learned from Tricia that Charlie might be the only original bloodline.

At this time, some things cannot be simply dismissed with "enough". The closer Elsa becomes to Charlie, the more she can't help but think more. Charlie's identity may be exposed one day. If others know that Charlie is the descendant of the ancestor of the vampire clan, but does not have the corresponding power of the ancestor, then what will happen next?

There is no mercy in this world. Elsa doesn't want what happened a year ago to happen again. It will make her regret for the rest of her life.

This is also one of the reasons why Elsa brought Charlie with her this time. Only when Charlie, who has not yet grown up, stays by her side and is protected by her own hands, will Elsa feel at ease.

Charlie needs to have more powerful strength, which means Charlie must master her own power as soon as possible.

"what?"

The enthusiasm that Charlie had just mentioned suddenly disappeared by half. She was very willing to help Elsa, but she also wanted to spend more time with Elsa instead of fighting with those vampires.

"Sparring partner or something... I can practice on my own..."

Charlie muttered quietly, she wanted to stay with Elsa.

"Actual combat is very important," Tricia said with a smile as she came over. "If you want to fully integrate your own strength and truly transform your potential into actual strength, actual combat experience is essential. Moreover, from fighting against the vampires, you can also learn their fighting style, which is very useful for you now."

"Well, come on, master your power as soon as possible," Aisha also said, ruffling Xia Li's hair, "When you can control your power skillfully, I will feed you some more blood."

This is what Elsa thought - use her own blood to accelerate Xia Li's growth. Of course, during this period, there is also a process of consolidating strength.

Tricia couldn't help but look at Aisha and said nothing.

Charlie was also a little surprised.

"But...it's only been a month since the last time...that time...I drank quite a lot..." As she spoke, Xia Li's face flushed, and a charming look appeared in her eyes. "Is it really okay?"

Aisha smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you can handle it."

"Great!"

Xia Li smiled happily, and the slight awkwardness she had just felt disappeared.

But when she looked at Elsa again, besides being surprised, she always felt that Elsa's eyes were somewhat meaningful.

……

364. Corpse in the Snow (4K)

In fact, Charlie really wants to suck blood.

Of course, it wasn't because she wanted blood, but she just wanted to be close to Elsa. Unlike Becky, Alman and the others, Charlie had long since gotten rid of her dependence on blood. Even if she didn't suck blood, Charlie wouldn't become overly weak. At most, she would just feel a little hungry and weak.

It had been a long time since Charlie and Elsa had been together intimately since they had parted in Weilin Town. After all, there were always other people around, and she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Although Charlie thought it was nice to be with Elsa every day like now, it would be a lie to say that she hadn't had any other thoughts at all - once you tasted Elsa's lips, you would definitely be completely obsessed with them. However, Charlie felt that Elsa was always busy, so she could only suppress the little expectation in her heart.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Aisha.

Now that the investigation mission has finally come to an end, how could Xia Li let go of the opportunity she had waited so long for?

In fact, since that incident a year ago, it has been a while since Charlie had a strong desire to become stronger. When she first joined the adventurers, Charlie, like everyone else, also had the dream of embarking on the path of becoming a strong man. And the desire for power was the strongest when she was in desperate situation when she was attacked by vampires in the forest.

At that time, she longed for a powerful force more than ever.

But that desire soon faded as the crisis was resolved and with Elsa's careful care. Although Charlie still often reviewed the swordsmanship she learned from Brahmot, she had long lost the urgent desire to become stronger.

My father always said that comfort would wear away one's fighting spirit. This statement was indeed true. Charlie thought that after staying with Elsa for a long time, she would take comfort for granted.

It wasn't until the black monster appeared that Charlie felt a long-lost sense of urgency.

And now this feeling appeared again, because Charlie found that she couldn't get a word in when Tricia and Aisha were discussing the plan. This feeling... to be honest, it was not very pleasant. It was not that she could not accept the relationship between Tricia and Aisha, but she felt like she had become a burden.

So Charlie did not reject the arrangement given to her by Elsa, she also wanted to become stronger.

"Come on! I can do it! It's just a matter of mastering my own strength!"

Charlie encouraged herself and was full of energy.

Seeing this, Elsa did not stay any longer. After explaining some things, she left alone. She needed to go back to Kroros to check the situation, and Tricia would be in charge of Barony Fisher.

Charlie's training program also began.

"Practical training shouldn't be rushed. Take it step by step. You can start by practicing with Kingsley and the others to familiarize yourself with the vampires' combat techniques. Baron Fisher will send the list soon, and then it will be up to you to show your skills."

Tricia looked at Charlie and said with a smile.

Baron Fisher will put all the vampires who violate the imperial laws into the list, and this will be the basis for Charlie to carry out the next mission - of course, not all vampires will be obedient, and force is definitely indispensable.

Tricia called Kingsley and several of his men to the open space behind the castle.

"Master Cerri, you called me?"

Kingsley tried to be respectful.

At this moment, he was very nervous. He had never expected that things would develop to this point. Even the Baron became Elsa's defeated general and surrendered to Elsa. Now it was they who didn't know what to do.

Tricia looked at the pale Kingsley with an expressionless face.

"You should be aware of the crimes you have committed, right?"

Kingsley hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Facing Tricia's scrutiny, Kingsley's heart was beating fast. He was unsure of these women's attitudes and did not dare to speak carelessly for fear of being killed.

He really wanted to escape. Now that Elsa was not around, it might be an opportunity. However, he did not dare to gamble whether the two women in front of him were as cunning as Elsa. If that was the case, wouldn't running away without permission be seeking death?

Like Kingsley, the others also looked bitter, especially Laurel, who had lives on his hands and was now extremely frightened.

Tricia turned her gaze to Laurel, who was behind Kingsley.

"come here."

Laurel's heart skipped a beat and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes, but before he could hesitate, Kingsley picked him up and threw him out, chewing some mud on the ground.

Kingsley gave a flattering smile, but Laurel was in a miserable state. Facing Tricia directly put him under considerable pressure.

"grown ups……"

"I'll give you a task. Fight her one-on-one."

Tricia looked at Laurel indifferently and said, moving aside to let Charlie come forward.

"what?"

Tricia's words stunned Laurel and Kingsley, and the excuses they had prepared to exonerate themselves died in their throats - Laurel originally thought that Tricia would execute them here and throw them off the cliff, but it turned out to be a duel?

"Sir...you want me to duel with her? But..."

"You have no right to refuse."

Tricia's words made Laurel feel uncertain again.

He secretly looked at Charlie. Charlie looked the same as Elsa, but just standing there, it was impossible to tell what she was like, with thin arms and legs. But the more she looked like this, the more frightened Laurel felt.

"Relax, I'm just asking you to duel, I'm not going to kill you."

Tricia said.

Although Laurel was indeed a death row inmate, his punishment should be decided by the court.

This made Laurel feel a little relieved.

"Do I really want to fight him? He looks so weak."

Charlie's words choked Laurel, but although he was indignant in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stand obediently opposite Charlie.

"Are you going to use a weapon?"

Charlie asked.

Lorel didn't reply and drew a straight sword from his waist. He was a low-level vampire, the kind that didn't dare to go out even on a sunny day. His body had not evolved to be stronger than steel, so his fighting style had not completely separated from weapons and was still the same as when he was a human.

Rhorer gripped his weapon tightly.

Although he was still unsure, the arrow was on the string and he had to go all out - he didn't think Charlie would be soft on him, and at the same time he also had a glimmer of hope and ruthlessness in his heart, hoping to gain freedom and to respond to Charlie's sarcasm with ruthlessness.

"Let's get started when you're ready."

Tricia waved gently.

Kingsley and the others opened their eyes wide - they wanted to take a good look at this woman's strength, and then decide whether to stay or run away.

Crows circled in the sky. No one cheered for the duel. Everyone watched silently. Charlie and Rorel rushed towards each other at the same time. Charlie's swordsmanship was learned from Brahmute, mixed with some imperial knight swordsmanship and some adventurer's experience. Her center of gravity was stable, she advanced while retreating, and she fought steadily and steadily. Rorel used the fighting style of a pure amateur. The few rules he used came from the little hacking skills he learned when he was a militia.

The sword was swung, and the snow between the two was swept up high by the sword wind, but the sword in Rorel's hand was picked up by Charlie in just one encounter. Facing Charlie's tricky sword, he rolled on the ground in embarrassment, leaving a long mark in the snow. He picked up the sword again, and this time he chose brute force to attack. He swung the sword down with great force, but Charlie blocked it with his sword and easily unloaded the force. Charlie's counterattack sword made a small bloody hole in his shoulder.

Rorel had no chance of winning with just sword skills, and he obviously understood that, so he simply threw away his sword and prepared to admit defeat.

There's no rule against admitting defeat, right?

But when Charlie saw this, she put away her sword, which surprised Laurel.

"Go on, that's fair."

Charlie said.

Elsa asked her to hone her skills, so she would naturally choose a fairer way to duel. Besides, it didn't look like vampires fighting with swords the whole time. The outcome should be decided in a vampire way.

Seeing this, Rohrer felt a little suspicious, but also a little relieved.

He dropped his knees and suddenly jumped up. The claws on his fingertips became extremely sharp, and bloodthirsty fangs appeared from the corners of his mouth. He rushed towards Charlie at an extremely fast speed, but at the moment he got close, Charlie bent her fingers into hooks, put her palms together into knives, and grabbed Laurel's arms firmly at a tricky angle, one from the front and the other from the back, and took advantage of Laurel's momentum to throw her over his shoulder in the air.

With a bang, the snow flew away like huge waves, and the shock wave visible to the naked eye left cracks on the ground.

Kingsley's eyelids twitched wildly and his scalp felt numb - that was the stone wall of the castle, extremely strong, and even stones weighing hundreds of pounds could not make a hole in it, but now a large piece of it was cracked.

It turned out that this woman was also a heavyweight, and the last bit of luck in Kingsley's heart was shattered in an instant.

Looking at Rohrer again, he was already lying on the ground unconscious - as a low-level vampire, his physical fitness was actually just equivalent to that of a strong human being. This time, Rohrer almost fell into eternal sleep.

"Oh, when I saw him running towards me, I instinctively..." Charlie scratched her head embarrassedly as she looked at Laurel, whose life or death was unknown. "I didn't expect it to be so easy..."

Charlie has been keeping Elsa's teachings in mind and trying to learn from the vampires' fighting methods, but hasn't she achieved her goal so far?

Tricia just covered her mouth and smiled.

"You're really just like Aisha, but it doesn't matter. Leave the rest to me."

In fact, she had guessed this result a long time ago. After all, Rohrer's strength was too weak to have any training effect at all. But she did this mainly to intimidate Kingsley and others, because the next work required Kingsley, a local, to act as a guide.

Tricia walked forward, and Kingsley and the others lowered their heads and dared not look at Tricia.

"What? Are you starting to get scared? When you wantonly wielded your strength and power to harm those weak and innocent people, you should have known this day would come, right?"

Tricia said with a cold face.

Kingsley nodded quickly: "Yes, yes...but...Sir, Laurel killed someone, but we didn't...I didn't order him to do it..."

He seemed eager to distance himself from the matter.
