Chapter 132: Please Abandon the People of Silver Dove Castle

Charlot furrowed his brow slightly, clearly displeased with the Duchess. This was a blatant threat.

Belisa took another deep breath to suppress the tension in her heart and said, “Please abandon the people of Silver Dove Castle.”

“The safety of the Duke far outweighs that of Silver Dove Castle. Staying here contributes nothing to the larger battle. Only by rescuing the Duke can we completely turn the tide of this war.”

“Mr. Mecklenburg, I implore you to consider th...

Chapter 131: The Duchess’s Messenger

Charlot was startled. He had never expected Lady Nancella to be so ruthless.

He strained his eyes to look into the distance, even using the Eye of Insight. The three piles of severed heads held no familiar faces, yet his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "I must pretend. If he truly finds Charlot Mecklenburg's family, it would be disastrous."

Though Charlot wished to sever ties with his past identity, he could not bear for it to happen in such a tragic manner.

Aft...

Chapter 130: The Magic Gun Holster

Magru Trell’s Cursed Armament, rooted in the user’s body and soul, was inseparable from them. In fact, the body and soul themselves served as materials for the armament. If the user perished, the Cursed Armament would be destroyed along with them.

After Magru's death, the Cursed Armament became magical remnants, and the Spatial Magazine was also ruined. Charlot Mecklenburg sold the remains to Reggie Asu, a detective from the Fierce Horse Detective Agency, for twenty-five écus.

Chapter 129: Masterpieces

Floating Blossoms was an extraordinary garland of flowers, vibrant with a wild charm, featuring five colors competing in brilliance. Though not lavish, it was far more striking than ordinary flower crowns.

When worn, the crown would cause an array of five-colored flowers to swirl in the air and slowly ascend, enabling its wearer to ride the flowers in flight. The speed and endurance of this flight depended on the wearer’s level of cultivation, as the power to ascend came from these ex...

Chapter 127: Labyrinth Progress of Silver Dove Castle

Two individuals stood before Charlot Mecklenburg. One was named Gwen, nicknamed "Spotted Deer," and the other was Bancroft, known as the "Gale Wolf." In their younger days, they had adventured together as companions. After reaching middle age and accumulating some wealth, they left their adventuring party and settled in Silver Dove Castle.

Both were tenth-rank knights, having mastered Knightly Breathing Techniques and Blood Banquet Meditation to their limits, yet neither had ever obtain...

Chapter 128: How Could Such a Man Be the Murderer of Johan?

The Empire was highly vigilant toward great nobles possessing extraordinary abilities and imposed strict restrictions upon them. As a seventh-tier great noble of the Empire, Baron Feller was entitled to be guarded by eight knights. At the outbreak of war, he sent six of them to the Duke’s side, where they joined his campaign in South Seraph. Later, during a failed ambush in the same region, Baron Feller and the remaining two knights fell in battle.

Thus, Silver Dove Castle became vuln...

Chapter 126: The Spiritual Leader, The Final Totem

A young man clad in exquisite armor, gripping a black Knight’s Lance, gazed at the remnants of defeated troops gathered before him. Thoughts of the slain Jonan ignited a blazing fire within him. If Charlot Mecklenburg were standing before him, he would have gladly thrust his lance through that scoundrel’s chest.

Over a dozen South Seraph restorationist generals huddled together. Each bore expressions of dejection, tinged with sorrow; some even wept quietly.

Charlot Mecklenburg...

Chapter 125: Wings of the Young Dragon

The secret techniques of the Arsilo Swordsmanship, known as the Angel’s Thorn, unfolded in Charlot Mecklenburg’s mind like a gentle spring stream—clear and resonant. The intricate variations of sword techniques, which he previously knew only how to use but never understood, now became sharp and vivid. Every change illuminated his understanding without the slightest hindrance.

With a sudden sharp cry, Charlot leapt into action. His movements quickened by three parts, and his swords...

Chapter 124: Eternal Dawn

"I can't stop those knights who can use Origin Blood Ignition, but without their protection, Jonan won't be able to stop me either."

Charlot Mecklenburg activated Swiftstep Technique and Spider Technique to their full extent. Augmented by six Blood Vortexes, his speed was like a streak of lightning.

In this moment, he suddenly understood why Dubin Alger, Dolores Soumet, and Frederica insisted on battling outside the city. The mode of warfare in this extraordinary world was utterly...

Chapter 123: Old Flor

Charlot was deeply concerned about the ten or so knights by Jonan's side joining the battle. The defensive power of the Origin Blood Boundary was simply too strong.

After all, even alchemical explosives couldn’t break through the Radiant Magic Array. While the Origin Blood Boundary might be slightly weaker than the Radiant Magic Array, it was still impervious to anti-magic armor-piercing rounds.

However, during the second siege by the South Seraph restorationists, Charlot still ...

Chapter 122: Charlot's Ultimate Form

Charlot couldn’t help but think: “Can’t I first turn this into a labyrinth and then repel Lady Nancella’s eighteen waves of attacks?”

If Silver Dove Castle could be labyrinthized, Charlot was confident he could transform the invading South Seraph restorationists into NPCs.

Despite the chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind, Charlot’s command was precise and methodical.

He sequentially subdued Baron Feller’s defeated troops and two thousand South Seraph ...

Chapter 121: The Ultimate Wall of Origin Blood

Frederica observed Charlot Mecklenburg’s expression and guessed his thoughts, whispering, “The opposing faction must have Transcendents among them. The castle alone won’t be enough as a defensive stronghold.”

Charlot thought to himself, "Transcendents can determine victory, but they cannot dictate the spoils of war!"

The Old Continent, due to the presence of Transcendents, waged wars unlike anything Charlot had ever read about in Earth's history.

Although Charlot was...

Chapter 120: Dark Luxury

The extraordinary artifacts in Charlot Mecklenburg's possession were nothing short of remarkable. His vampiric axe and the Blood Rose required no introduction—both were vampiric weapons crafted beyond the reach of human artisanship. The Anti-Space Long-Range Rifle, the two Firequell Silver Rhinos, and even the extraordinary dagger he had wrested from the first assassin were all classic creations of Classical Alchemy.

However, the Mask of the Cat was no alchemical creation. It was a ge...

Chapter 119: The Baron’s Wealth is Too Abundant

"That wretched Lady South Seraph!"

"Indeed, it was Lady South Seraph who murdered the Baroness."

"We fought to our last breath but couldn’t stop those fiends."

"We will avenge the Baron!"

"They even refused to spare the poor children."

Under Charlot Mecklenburg's relentless efforts, nearly every member of the West Wind Knights admitted without hesitation that Lady South Seraph was responsible for murdering the Baron’s family.

Charlot took a deep breath ...

Chapter 118: This Is What Wiping Out a Family Looks Like

Buller was shot in the shoulder. Furious, he shouted, "Someone dared to shoot at me? I'll have the shooter hanged! I'm the brother-in-law of the Baron!"

Gunfire rang out, and the ragtag cavalry force descended into chaos. No one cared who Buller was; dozens of rifles fired indiscriminately, riddling the ambitious young man with bullets. His body was left full of holes.

The Baron's eldest son was ecstatic, urging the coachman to drive faster. Watching his uncle enter the military c...

Chapter 117: Uncle Buller

As expected, Charlot Mecklenburg ordered ten barrels of ale. It wasn’t due to a lack of funds, but because he planned to sample brews from other taverns. Ale had a shelf life, and storing it for too long would inevitably compromise its quality, even if it didn’t spoil outright.

While Charlot dined with two ladies, intense arguments were erupting within the baronial manor of Silver Dove Castle. The baron’s three children were vehemently cursing Charlot, and although the baroness he...

Chapter 116: Orcs Will Never Be Slaves

The reason Gorgias University traditionally selects the twelve most beautiful female students as its Twelve Goddesses is that the Goddess of the Elves has twelve female attendants.
They are: the West Wind Goddess, the Laurel Goddess, the Forest Goddess, the Goddess of Favor…

Incidentally, the Goddess of Favor is depicted as a catwoman and serves as the source of Cat Spirit Magic.

Sheffield University also upholds a similar tradition, as the Lady of the Black Moon also has fem...

Chapter 115: Silver Dove Fortress

Charlot Mecklenburg had no idea that the Duchess Josephine was, at this moment, panicking to the point of helplessness.

Indeed, Duke Joseph had led the entirety of the Behemoth Principality's forces to attack the South Seraph region, but the battle was going poorly. The duke was trapped in a small city named Interlaken on the frontlines and had been unable to break through the encirclement.

While the duchess had been anxiously awaiting reinforcements from Baron Feller, her husband...

Chapter 114: War Reports Can Lie

Charlot Mecklenburg spoke slowly, “If anyone else wants to voice a differing opinion, feel free to stand up courageously.”

“I was impulsive just now!”

“I promise it won’t happen again.”

The battlefield fell silent.

Charlot displayed erratic moods and was prone to killing at the slightest provocation.

Who would dare to believe that?

Charlot let out a breath of relief. If someone truly had the guts to stand up and oppose him, he honestly wouldn�...

Chapter 113: The West Wind Knights Must Speak with One Voice

Charlot Mecklenburg had just slain his opponent, but a thought abruptly surfaced in his mind: “Lamp Bearer, why in the world did I compete with him in swordsmanship? Wouldn’t it have been better to use Flame Dragon’s Hand and a silver rhino bullet to kill him instantly?”

Only now did he realize his entire body was drenched in cold sweat. The battle had been tense beyond words.

This hard-won victory had honed the West Wind Knights to the point where they faint...

Chapter 112: The Colorless Blade

In the life-and-death moment, Charlot Mecklenburg’s hands remained exceptionally steady.
The shot landed squarely on the burly South Seraph restorationist knight.

The anti-magic armor-piercing round was potent enough to kill even a high-level Transcendent, let alone this rugged knight who wasn’t one. Despite the enhancement of the Proof of War and the Blood Butcher’s blessings, he still couldn’t withstand the power of the round.

Two armies, countless witnesses—on one ...

Chapter 111: Duel of Commanders

The newly formed knight order was a motley crew, yet under Charlot Mecklenburg's various methods, they managed to develop a tenuous sense of cohesion. At the very least, they could execute orders without error.

Immediately, three hundred men raised their rifles and, after issuing verbal warnings, began firing at the routed soldiers who still charged forward.

The empire had equipped the knight order with only these three hundred rifles. The rest of the armament consisted of sabers,...

Chapter 110: The Yahoo Knights and Byron Cavalry

Charlot was about to react when Frederica reminded him, "It's too late to flee. If we change formation now, it will turn into a one-sided slaughter. Only by meeting the enemy head-on can we maintain order."

Although Charlot was only skilled in theoretical strategies, he understood the absolute correctness of Frederica's words. With the composition of the West Wind Knights, the moment the battle began, the prisoners would likely flee, triggering a catastrophic chain reaction. Without hes...

Chapter 109: Spider Technique

Charlot Mecklenburg was meditating with his eyes closed when a thought echoed in his mind: "The Machubi double-layer labyrinth transformation is complete!"

He opened his eyes, a faint smile curling on his lips as he sensed the newly transformed Machubi Fortress Labyrinth. This ancient fortress of the Orc Kingdom was incredibly vast, once famed as "The Unfallen Machubi" in its prime.

Situated between two mountain peaks, Machubi Fortress was once a critical transportat...

Chapter 108: Promotion to the Sixth Rank

In the blood vortex within his throat, countless shattered golden runes condensed into a book with a black cover, its surface glowing with countless points of golden light. The corrosive force that had been devouring his body, as toxic as venom, finally settled down, allowing Charlot Mecklenburg to activate Blood Glory and begin to digest it.

Half an hour later, Charlot had completely absorbed the life essence of this blood servant. The sixth blood vortex in his throat sta...

Chapter 107: Origin Blood Ignites

The first time Lord Leo left, he was still thinking of retrieving his two servants. These two had formidable abilities, had served him for years, and were highly valuable. However, the second time he fled, he no longer considered them. After all, no servant, no matter how important, was worth risking his life to save.

After Lord Leo’s departure, the two servants relied on their skills to barely survive. Although life was tough in the labyrinth, they endured, but food was scarce. Days ...

Chapter 106: The Second Labyrinth

Charlot returned to the military carriage, stroking the Mask of the Cat in his arms and murmured to himself, "So this thing is standard gear for the Orc Assassin Alliance."

The mask Frederica used was clearly also a similar extraordinary artifact.

Even during the march, Charlot didn’t relax his training. As usual, he first practiced the Spider Technique for an hour and a half, followed by the other four Blood Runes. After his trainin...

Chapter 105: Dear Miss Leopard, Please Resist With All Your Might

When the assassins blew up Grand Duke Ferdinand's coffin, they unexpectedly left behind several broken canes at the scene. For assassins capable of producing alchemical explosives, how could they fail to acquire firearms?
The only explanation was that something had gone wrong with the firearms they had prepared.

Recalling the batch of short pistols Charlot had taken from the Chelsea Detective Agency, everything became clear: these assassins were related to the Orc Assassin Alliance. ...

Chapter 104: The First Appearance of the West Wind Knights

Charlot merely wanted to establish an image for himself.

And win Annie's favor in passing.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that after burning the will at the Temple of the Radiant Lord, his “luck” would truly peak. That very day, the West Wind Knights received orders to depart. Charlot barely had time to say farewell to Annie before the Overseer Squad urged them on, forcing him to leave Strasbourg in haste.

Before departure, the Military Logistics Department of the Cent...

Chapter 103: The Swiftstep Shire

Later, Charlot Mecklenburg was promoted again. Louis Simy had already been preparing a gift and planning a visit, but to his surprise, before he could act, Charlot invited him to dinner.

Louis Simy would never refuse Charlot’s olive branch of friendship. Although Louis had dealings with many imperial officials, someone like Charlot—who had been acquainted with him before rising to prominence and had shot up the ranks with lightning speed—was fundamentally different from the others...
