Tome of Blood

"Guanzhan the identity of the powerful vampire you mentioned? Your Excellency Yorok, I am sorry Adast reminds you again that the vampire who can make you feel threatened may not be less powerful than the legend, and such an existence, even if Even the gods will take it very seriously.”

"If that powerful vampire is really backed by the power of the gods, if the Castel collar really comes into the sight of the gods...then, that powerful vampire is likely to be a follower of the gods, and our observations will also be It will be as fruitless as before."

"After all...the current Xingzhiguan Zhan no longer has the blessing of the power under Cauchy's crown."

"Not only that, if Guan Zhan ushers in the attention of the gods behind the scenes, he may even turn his attention to us."

"Your Excellency Yorok, what gods hate most is being prying into secrets by mortals. You don't want to rush into the sight of a strange god, do you?"

The voice of Adast, the tool spirit of the Star Crystal, was serious.

After hearing its words, Duke Yorok gradually calmed down and fell into silence.

After a while, he sighed softly and said:

"You're right, I was impulsive, but it's hard for me to calm down when I think of the sudden crisis that I've planned for many years..."

Adast was right.

When it comes to issues involving gods, one must be cautious.

Otherwise, it is likely to put yourself in great danger.

Perhaps... I should temporarily suspend the return to the star plan, at least temporarily suspend the infiltration of Castel, and make plans after further investigation.

Duke Yorok thought.

"Your Excellency Yorok, this is not your fault. Adast knows how much you attach importance to the Star Return Project. After all, this involves the future of the Ness clan, the order of the Elders Council, and the orders of Your Excellency Eugenia. An Wei...huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Wait... the result of the apprehension has changed!"

"The result of the apprehension has changed?!"

Duke Yorok was slightly taken aback.

The divination results of Star View Divination generally last for a period of time, but it is rare to hear that the divination results will change suddenly.

Unless, something the appreciator has done has affected the content of the appropriation.

Duke Yorok looked solemn, and asked quickly:

"What changed?"

"What has changed is the fate trajectory of the main star and the path of the slave star... well, that is, the fate of you and the Nass clan. Although it is still obscure, it is not shrouded in darkness like it was just now. Not only that... the main star and the fate star seem to be standing at once. Between the darkness and the light, on one side is the Abyss of Silence representing destruction, and on the other side is the boundless sea of ​​stars full of hope!"

Adast's voice was full of surprise:

"Your Excellency Yorok, what did you just do? Not to mention the master star and slave star, even the future of the Return Star Project seems to have changed! Although the hope is still elusive, there is a ray of starlight in the starry sky!"

What did I just do?

Duke Yorok frowned.

As if thinking of something, he suddenly jumped in his heart:

Wait... Could it be that I planned to temporarily suspend the idea of ​​infiltrating Castel just now?

Thinking of this, Duke Yorok suddenly felt as if he had caught something, and a light seemed to flash in his mind.

"Adast, hurry up! Help me find out immediately, what is the opportunity for the Ness clan to realize the plan to return to the star, and to survive the crisis of the Holy Land!"

Duke Yorok ordered in a hurried voice while taking out various magic materials to arrange the star array.

"Follow your order..."

The starlight spread again, and the dome of the quiet room projected an endless sea of ​​stars.

Soon, Adast's surprised voice came over:

"Huh?"

"how?"

Duke Yorok hurriedly asked.

"Weird! It's really strange! It was obvious when I watched the Zhanxing Returning Star Project, but this time when I watched the opportunity to break the situation of the Zhannais clan, it turned out to be blank like just now..."

Duke Yorok's eyes flickered slightly:

"Blank? Are you sure the result of the apprehension is blank?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Yorok, I am afraid we have touched some kind of power again... It seems that there is something blocking my observation, maybe..."

"Perhaps... it's the power of the gods!"

Duke Yorok's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke the second half of Adast's unfinished sentence.

His eyes gradually brightened, and his spirit visibly cheered up.

"Adast, thank you very much. If you can survive the crisis this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you when you wake up Majesty Cauchy!"

"Huh? Your Excellency Yorok, have you thought of anything? From your expression, you seem to have suddenly gained confidence... Could it be that you already know what the reason for the clan's breakup is?"

Adast asked curiously.

Duke Yorok shook his head:

"I have no idea."

But as he spoke, he changed the subject again:

"However... I already know where the opportunity to break the game is, or...who is related to it!"

"You mean... Castel?"

Adast asked.

"That's right."

Duke Yorok nodded slightly, his eyes flickering.

Adast's observation results were blank twice in a row, probably because he was stopped by the same force.

His first failed prediction was to predict Castel's future, and his second failed prediction was an opportunity to break the situation for the Ness clan.

If these two observations were done separately, it would be confusing, but at this moment, the answer is already obvious...

The key to breaking the situation for the Ness clan may not be anywhere else, but Castel!

Reminiscent of the timing of the change in the result of the first observation, Duke Yorok's eyes flickered slightly.

Maybe...he misjudged something from the beginning!

"Adast, I heard that you have experienced the whole process of the Millennium Jihad?"

"Yes, it was really an extremely dark war. Adast watched helplessly as the descendants of blood fell apart and retreated one after another under the iron hooves of the holy royal court... The fallen dukes and earls were even more uncommon. Even The princes have changed because of this, and I have to say that it is a kind of luck to be like you who just fell into a deep sleep..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just answer my question!"

"Well... yes, I went through the whole process."

"Did the god of the contract also become the master of the gods during that time?"

"Yes."

"What is the relationship between Him and our descendants of blood?"

"Of course it is a state of hostility. As a loyal supporter of the God Lord, the God of Contract has participated in the Millennium Jihad throughout the entire process, and he and our blood descendants can be described as incompatible. In fact, even the "Weddell Treaty" and "Korya Peace Treaty" "The signing of the contract was extremely opposed by the contract believers in the holy royal court, after all... the way of the blood of the descendants of blood has taken away part of the contract authority."

Duke Yorok's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded slightly:

"I see."

"Your Excellency Yorok, do you still need to do the last observation? Although you failed twice in a row, it was just an unfortunate accident. Adast's observation level is definitely not that bad. Give Adast another chance, Ada Ster will definitely..."

"No, that's enough. I will call you again when I need it."

Duke Yorok waved his hand and removed the arrangement around the crystal seat.

"Well, well, thank you for using it, the wise Adast is always ready to help you with meditation again..."

Amid Adast's rambling words, Duke Yorok quickly put away the crystal ball.

The spirit of the sacred weapon is good at everything, but it can't stop talking once it starts, making people's brains buzz.

Putting away the crystal ball, Duke Yorok was lost in thought while pacing in the quiet room.

The conversation with Adast made him realize some details that he had neglected before, and the most obvious one is the relationship between the God of Contract and the descendants of blood.

Since the God of Contract is at odds with the descendant of blood because of the issue of authority, how could the God of Contract accept a descendant of blood as a family member?

Not to mention, it is very likely to be a legend.

And even if he was really accepted as a family member, the attitude of the powerful vampire he saw didn't seem like a contract believer who hated the descendants of blood!

Not only that, but thinking carefully about the short communication between myself and that powerful vampire, the other party seemed to have never expressed faith in the God of Contract, and even my own question about the will of the holy royal court was kept silent.

Now that I think about it, maybe I made a mistake from the beginning, or maybe the other party is not a believer in the God of Contract at all!

"It's not accurate to judge the position only by the marks of faith... It is rumored that in human civilization, there was a legendary mage who created blasphemy and stole the power of the gods. Maybe what I saw may not be true. "

"That powerful vampire may just be acting as a believer of the God of Contract!"

Thinking of this, Duke Yorok's heart suddenly brightened.

And then, he thought of something more:

"Xingzhiguanzhan is covered up. Behind her is probably the power of a real god, but this god... I'm afraid it's not the god of contract."

"I'm not the God of Contract, but I want to pretend to be the God of Contract. It seems that the relationship between the other party and the Holy Royal Court is very delicate!"

"Could it be...a revived ancient god?"

"In this case, the new Earl of Castel may also be a believer of this mysterious god!"

"I think... I already know what the opportunity to break the game is."

Thinking of this, Duke Yorok stopped.

He quickly came to the magic table and took out another smaller crystal ball from the storage space.

He placed the crystal ball on the crystal seat again, and then recited the incantation silently. Gradually, crimson light bloomed on the crystal ball, and a blurred projection emerged from the crystal ball.

"Master Yorok, what are your orders?"

The vague projection asked respectfully.

"Yourst, what mission has Lachlan been performing these two days?"

Duke Yorok asked.

The blurry projection quickly replied:

"Master Yorok, I am preparing to report this matter to you. Lachlan is in the process of infiltrating Castel. If it goes well, we will be able to completely control Castel tomorrow!"

Duke Yorok was stunned:

"Completely control Castel? So...he made a move on Castel's new Earl?"

"Yes, tonight the Earl's Palace dinner in the Earl of Castel is very suitable for the final infiltration plan. Calculate the time... The manpower sent by Lachlan should have already started to act."

Duke Yorok: ...

The blood legend's face turned green all of a sudden:

"Ulster! Immediately inform! Suspend all infiltration of Castel! Stop all hostile actions against Castel!"

The blurry figure froze for a moment:

"Suspend the infiltration of Castel? Master Yorok, we are about to successfully control Castel, why do we suddenly stop?"

Duke Yorok sighed:

"Yourst, please give more attention to the Falling Star Project, don't always indulge in those bottles and cans, if this continues, I'm really worried that one day the enemy will come to your door, and you still don't know anything about it of."

"Hmm... Lord Yorok, did our actions alert the Holy Royal Court? I will contact His Excellency Lachlan and tell him to suspend his actions."

"No need to contact him, he is dead."

"Dead... dead?!"

The vague figure in the crystal ball was taken aback.

"Yes, dead."

Duke Yorok sighed softly, his eyes dim.

"Master Yorok, should this matter be reported to the Council of Elders immediately? The fall of an earl is not a small trouble, let alone Earl Lachlan is still a member of the Council of Elders..."

asked the vague projection.

Duke Yorok's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head slightly:

"No need, I will explain to the Presbyterian Council."

"Okay...Okay, but His Excellency Lachlan has always been in charge of the Earl of Castel. I don't know how many bloodlines he has developed. It may take a certain amount of time to take over, and it may also happen later. It's been a while..."

Duke Yorok: ...

"No matter what method is used, next... I don't want to see our people privately attack the nobles of Castel, especially the Earl of Castel! Not even a single case!"

he ordered sharply.

"Okay...Okay, then I will contact the Earl of Nottingham as soon as possible. He is currently sitting in the Duchy of Romania. He is the closest to Castel and the most convenient to take over."

The blurry figure hurriedly said.

Duke Yorok nodded slightly:

"Can."

"Do you have any other orders?"

The vague figure asked respectfully.

Duke Yorok thought for a while and said:

"One more thing... I order you to use all available resources to secretly investigate the background of the current Earl of Castel. Within a week, I want to know everything about her!"

...

"Ah-choo!"

In the Earl's Mansion in Beigang, after finishing the banquet, Charlotte took off her coat and put on a nightgown under the service of the maid, and sneezed suddenly.

She looked suspiciously at the closed window, rubbed her nose, and said to herself:

"How does it feel...as if someone was spying on me just now?"

Picking up the hot sweet milk on the table and gulping it down, Charlotte thought for a while, walked to the window and pulled the curtains tighter.

Weakly ask for a little monthly ticket...
