Tome of Blood

Charlotte didn't know much about the Duke of Bold's family.

After all, even if she inherited the memory of her predecessor, her predecessor hadn't left the manor for ten years.

However, Leno's visit reminded Charlotte of a rather serious problem.

That is the status quo of the Castel family.

More precisely, her own current situation.

It doesn't matter when Mrs. Castel became a vampire, and it doesn't matter how strong she was before.

Before the sacrifice last night, the old lady was indeed the person in charge and protector of the Castel family.

Now, the principal is dead.

Died suddenly.

The Castell family is left with only one underage female heir.

It would be fine if Charlotte inherited the ordinary title of Earl.

But she is not.

Through memory fusion, Charlotte knew how rich the family she was going to inherit was.

Let's put it this way, the manor housekeeper in memory once proudly mentioned a sentence: the entire Earl of Castel contributed more than one-sixth of the fiscal revenue of the Duchy of Boulder.

What is this concept?

Two-thirds of the Fiscal Revenue of the Duchy of Boulder comes from the taxation of the territories directly under the duke's family, and one-third comes from the vassal contract tax of the vassal nobles.

And the Castel family, as a vassal noble, took over half of the contract tax income outside the direct jurisdiction of the Principality of Boulder!

That is to say, the more than a dozen other vassals of the same level as the Castel family in the Principality of Boulder, all the families add up, and the contract tax paid by the Castel family is barely equivalent to that of the Castel family...

The tax paid to the lord is only a quarter of the income of the Castel family.

If it really counts, the apparent income of the Castel family may approach that of the principality's direct-controlled territory!

Although the Principality of Boulder belongs to the relatively remote, poor and backward type in the kingdom as a whole, its status is somewhat similar to the central and western provinces of the Celestial Dynasty.

But even in the richest principality, the Earl of Castel is considered a very wealthy territory.

Putting it in the Chinese analogy, that is the economically developed second-tier cities in the central and western provinces.

Then the problem comes.

A large and rich territory.

A minor female heiress.

Will Charlotte's inheritance of the territory really be smooth sailing?

Can she successfully inherit the title?

After inheriting, can you keep it?

At this moment, all kinds of small plots about power struggles began to spread in Charlotte's little head...

At the same time, whether it was the church's favor or the Duke's invitation, in Charlotte's eyes, it became much more intriguing.

Charlotte felt a little headache.

The hidden danger of blood identity has not been resolved, and she is likely to be caught in the power struggle of the principality.

Game of Thrones has always been dark and brutal.

It doesn't mean that everything will be better just because she is cute and pitiful.

This is not a Mary Sue novel!

Playing cute and pretending to be stupid can indeed gain favor and almost lower the vigilance of others.

But that only exists if there is no conflict of interest, or the conflict of interest is not big enough.

Not to mention, even if wealth is not mentioned, her appearance is enough to be coveted.

After all, after experiencing all kinds of pictures of beauties on the Internet in her previous life, she can still indulge herself in the mirror, shouting that wearing this face is worth living in this life!

"Some things, when it's time to give up, you must give up in time..."

Charlotte recalled Leno's hint before leaving again.

She understood.

The other party was suggesting that she should consider giving up the right to inherit the territory as a last resort, so as to avoid being affected by the power struggle among the nobles.

but……

"Why should I give up?"

Charlotte shook her head.

She has survived the blood sacrifice. Could it be that her current situation is worse than being hung on the cross last night?

Even if they will be involved in a struggle and fall into crisis, that will be a matter of the future, isn't it?

Nothing happened yet, did it?

Not to mention, can everything be fine for her if she gives up her right to inherit the territory?

There are some things that can be planned for a rainy day, but it’s not that you’re so afraid that you just give up before it rains.

And, is she really just a little girl with no powers?

No.

she has.

Although she is still very weak now, Charlotte knows that the path of extraordinaryness has been opened to herself.

Charlotte thought of the "Book of Blood" in her mind.

This is her golden finger.

It is also an opportunity for her to become stronger.

All she needs is time.

She needs time to strengthen herself and consolidate her position in this world.

As long as she becomes strong enough, she can hold on to everything that belongs to her.

Territory is not only wealth, but also backing.

She must find a way to inherit it, because that will be the soil on which she will live in the future.

She is a vampire!

Where else is there a better place to hide your identity than your own territory?

Of course, before she is strong enough, she also needs some proper and ingenious skills to resolve the catastrophe she may encounter...

She will make the most of everything at her disposal.

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, although the future is still unclear, but it is not hopeless."

Charlotte thought inwardly.

Suppressing these unresolved worries, Charlotte shifted her focus back to the charging of the "Blood Codex".

The nobles have the rules of the nobility, and the church has the order of the church.

She should be fairly stable these days.

Although it's a bit weird to be living in a mission hospital despite being a blood race, but in a sense it's also a kind of shelter.

She can't do more now, so she should think about how to fully charge the scripture and develop more functions.

At the same time, he just took advantage of this opportunity to get a good understanding of the extraordinary power through the priests of the hospital.

Of course, you have to study your body well!

Uh, not the kind of research with color, but scientific research as a "blood race" (serious face)...

Thinking of this, Charlotte raised her head again, and looked at Priest Lottie, who was still crazily complaining about Leno's rude behavior.

In her eyes, this gentle, beautiful, kind and considerate elder sister of the priest is already a reserve power bank of the Holy Code and a popular science guidebook for survival in another world.

Charlotte took a deep breath, raised her pretty face slightly, and began to skillfully act cute and pitiful.

She poked hard at her wound that was about to heal, and the familiar pain came, and the hazy mist filled her eyes again.

Charlotte snorted, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"What's the matter? Miss Charlotte, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing the girl's pitiful yet forced strong expression, Lottie felt a tightness in her heart and felt pity.

That pitiful and quite sensible little appearance made her motherhood suddenly explode.

"Sister Lottie..."

Charlotte raised her head, looking purely at the other party with her big watery blue eyes.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her slightly nasal voice was extremely moving:

"My wound... seems to be hurting again... woo..."

"It's hurting again?"

Lottie subconsciously held the girl's arm, her voice full of concern.

"Um……"

Charlotte nodded obediently.

She sniffled, tilted her head slightly, and Lottie's slender figure appeared in her pure and clear pupils:

"elder sister……"

"You...can you use magic to help Charlotte heal the wound again?"

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head slightly, and said weakly:

"If...if it's inconvenient, forget it..."

Lottie hesitated.

That shy, nervous and apprehensive look is hard to refuse.

She was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and nodded slightly:

"All right."

"It's not advisable to receive too much holy healing in a short period of time. If you feel tired, tell me immediately, and I will stop immediately."

After speaking, Lottie took a deep breath and placed her hands on top of Charlotte's palms.

She closed her eyes, her expression gradually became solemn and sacred, and a gentle and solemn prayer sounded slowly:

"My Lord Harald!"

"You are the creator of the new world,"

"You are holy in the royal court,"

"The gods follow in your footsteps,"

"Believers listen to your teachings,"

"O great and merciful Lord!"

"Heal me, please, and I shall be healed."

"Save me, please, and I will be saved."

"..."

The golden light bloomed on Priest Lottie's body, dazzling and brilliant.

Countless flying photons slowly gathered in her palm, danced, and fell on Charlotte like snowflakes.

However, when the warm light fell on the young girl, it brought burning pain like a branding iron.

But Charlotte has long been mentally prepared.

She held back.

Not only that, but she also raised her head and made a look of enjoying happiness.

In front of his eyes, blood slowly emerged.

The familiar text finally stretched out:

["The Holy Code of Blood" detected a divine ritual in transit——]

[Surgery Name: Lay on Hands]

[Spellcaster: Lottie de Broglie]

[Recipient: Charlotte de Castel]

[Effect of the technique: God Lord Haral's lay on hands, one of the most basic healing spells, can effectively treat minor injuries, relieve pain, and expel slight toxins; when the subject is an evil existence marked by the holy royal court, It will bring pain to the other party. 】

【Intercept? 】

Familiar interface, familiar inquiry.

Charlotte also responded skillfully.

Modification of the formula judgment.

One train.

When the burning pain is replaced by the warm spring breeze.

The charging progress of Call of Blood has also changed accordingly...

81.1%, 81.2%, 81.3%...

Seeing the slowly rising progress bar, Charlotte felt relieved.

She knew that she would be able to pluck the wool of the Holy Royal Court to her heart's content.
