Tome of Blood

"Oh? Evil God?"

Yurst's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the blood clan who spoke.

The other scarlet gazes on the venue also fell on the blood clan in unison.

"Your Excellency, Viscount Scott... If I remember correctly, your task seems to be to form a mercenary group in the East Unet Blackland?"

Earl Urst asked curiously.

The blood clan who spoke slightly nodded:

"Yes, Lord Earl, that's why I said, this is just a rumor I heard..."

As he said that, the blood viscount named Scott looked far away, and seemed to be lost in memory:

"It is rumored that a year ago, Boulder once encountered a plan to descend from the Gorefiend Cult, but was finally thwarted by the Holy Royal Court."

"This séance plan involved many families in the Principality of Boulder, including the Castel family. Not only that, it is said that Castel's heir almost lost his life because of it!"

Gorefiend Cult's plan to descend upon the gods? !

Blood Demon Grand Duke Abaddon?

Hearing the words of the blood viscount, the corners of the blood race's eyes twitched, and all of them became serious.

Although Abaddon the Blood Demon and the stargazer Cauchy are both princes of blood, the relationship between the two parties is far from good, and their philosophies are completely different.

The relationship between the Guanzhan Clan Ness and the Dark Clan Shedete is also similar to Falling Star and New Moon. Although they are not old enemies, they can also be called entangled with each other, and they don't like each other.

"Your Excellency Viscount Scott, I have also heard about this incident. It is said that the Holy Royal Court has sent three Chi Yangs to personally investigate this matter, but...as far as I know, the Gorefiend Cult's plan to descend on the gods has failed gone."

A blood clan said in a deep voice.

Viscount Scott shook his head:

"Your Excellency Loen, what you don't know is that the séance in Boulder was not as simple as it seemed. In fact, it wasn't just the failed Shedete clan that performed the séance in Boulder a year ago. , and a strange god!"

"And even if the Gorefiend Cult's plan to descend from the gods was thwarted, it wasn't the Holy Royal Court who acted, but this strange god who appeared in person and severely injured and destroyed the unsealed Balrog Vallaroka in one fell swoop. The Gorefiend Cult's plan to bring the Gorefiend Grand Duke into the world!"

The Ness blood race named Loen was a little stunned, his eyes slightly solemn:

"It turned out to be like this..."

"Just, what does this have to do with the Earl of Castel?"

he asked curiously again.

"This is about the role played by the Castel family in this matter. It is said that the first place where this strange god appeared was the Castel family's manor!"

"The previous generations of the Castel family were bewitched by the Gorefiends, intending to sacrifice Charlotte de Castel to the Gorefiend Duke, but in the end it was not Charlotte who was sacrificed, but Acting head of the Castel family!"

"After the incident, the witcher knights of the Holy King's Court found a strange symbol at the scene, pointing to a strange god! And... there is a high possibility that it is a god from Kolia!"

Viscount Scott said in a deep voice.

The Earl of Nottingham moved slightly in his heart:

"You mean, the little count of Castel was saved by a revived god?"

"That's right."

Viscount Scott nodded.

The Earl of Nottingham frowned slightly:

"The gods will not save mortals for no reason, and those who can make the gods take action must be the dependents of the gods..."

"But as far as I know, Charlotte de Castel is highly valued by the Holy Royal Court. Although she can't be called a real saint, she also showed the glory of the gods in her coming-of-age ceremony."

"She...is a devout and holy believer!"

"Could it be that you mean that this strange god who descended into the world is a certain demigod of the holy royal court? But didn't you just say that it was an evil god?"

Viscount Scott said in a deep voice:

"This is exactly what the rumors confuse me. As far as I know, the Holy Royal Court really regards the revived god as a strange evil god, otherwise they wouldn't have sent three blazing suns to investigate .”

"Not only that, last year the Holy Royal Court even sent a team to Kolia to further investigate the news of this strange god."

The Earl of Nottingham's eyes flickered slightly:

"Korya... This is the second time you have mentioned Korya, but the Kingdom of Korya has always been the domain of Valdrat and Salem, and even the Holy Royal Court has only gained a nominal rule."

"Could it be, do you want to say that this strange god is an ancient prince of blood?"

Viscount Scott sighed softly:

"I have no idea."

"However, I think everyone here should be familiar with the symbol of this strange god. Many people may be able to find one or two in their homes..."

As he spoke, the vague phantom of Viscount Scott slightly raised his hand, and an illusory symbol was vaguely outlined on the long table.

It was a pattern composed of thorns and roses, with a hint of mystery under the graceful lines.

Seeing the pattern, almost all the blood races present were stunned.

"The thorns and roses? Damn it! Isn't this the most beautiful decorative pattern in Kolya? It's all engraved on the coffin I usually sleep in!"

One of the blood race couldn't help but said.

"Really? Scott, don't make trouble! All the furniture in my house is made by Coria! It's all of this style!"

The other blood race was also in shock.

Even Earl Ulster, who was the leader, was twitching wildly from the corners of his eyes.

Briars and roses?

Lahair and Agnès, who had been silently watching and did not speak, were also slightly taken aback.

Without him, this symbol is not unfamiliar to them at all, because they have just seen it before!

They couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the beautiful figure sitting on the throne behind them.

I saw that the other party's noble and mysterious black dress was covered with exquisite and repeated thorns and roses, and on the wall behind her throne hung a sign that was exactly the same as the symbol transformed by the Ness blood!

Under the crimson light, the mysterious symbol shone with a deep light, giving people a sense of nobility and mystery, and when one looked at it carefully, one would involuntarily feel a sense of awe, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Come on.

After being pulled into the spiritual world, Agnes and the two saw these symbols. At that time, they only felt that the symbols seemed to have a strange power. Following the information exchanged by the blood race, they finally knew why.

Holy Emblem!

This is the holy emblem of the gods!

The thoughts in Agnes's head, which could not be called very bright, suddenly became incoherent.

No matter how dull she was, she realized a terrifying possibility at this moment.

She stared blankly at Charlotte sitting on the throne, and stammered:

"The rose of thorns...the emblem of the evil spirit..."

"You you you you... don't you..."

Charlotte glanced at her:

"Operate the crystal well, if something bad happens, I'll dry you up and feed you to the fish!"

Agnès immediately became honest.

She quickly lowered her head, like an obedient baby, bit the bullet and continued to stabilize the connection with the communication crystal.

"Thorns...roses...sacred emblem..."

"Scott, are you sure your information is accurate? Where did you get this information?"

Yurst's voice was solemn and authentic.

His voice has never been so serious as it is now, even when he just talked about the fall of Earl Lachlan, he was not so nervous.

Viscount Scott nodded:

"My lord, it's true. A mercenary from the New Moon Kingdom told me this news while drinking."

"He has an obvious southern accent, and he is familiar with the customs of the Principality of Boulder. Although he behaves rudely, he is quite familiar with the etiquette of some human nobles. I judge that he is probably a down-and-out nobleman of the Principality of Boulder. It should be somewhat believable..."

"I'm also very curious about the revival of an evil god, especially this kind of pattern is too common among our blood races. Thorns and roses are our favorite elements. Even the carpet in my house is like this, oh... …By the way, just in case, I have already burned the carpet."

"After I found out about this matter, I investigated it. Although this matter is secret, the matter of the evil god is indeed true. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether Earl Castel really has anything to do with it."

After listening to Viscount Scott's words, the blood race at the venue quickly fell into commotion.

"Damn! Scott, you should have said something like this earlier! Damn it, if it's really a holy symbol of a god... Oh, my God, I have to change the coffin as soon as I get back!"

The vampire with the coffin with thorns and roses was cursing.

"quiet!"

Earl Ulster scolded and once again showed his majesty.

The blood race quickly returned to silence, but their eyes were flickering, obviously shaking their hearts.

So did the Earl of Ulster.

He took a deep breath, and his voice was unprecedentedly serious:

"Scott, your information is very important. I know about it. There are many mercenaries from the New Moon in the East Unet Blackland, and it is relatively close to Kolia. It is very convenient to inquire about the news. Next... Please continue to investigate this matter."

After finishing speaking, Earl Ulster looked at the others again:

"You too, please continue to investigate the information related to Earl Castel, the more carefully the better."

"Also, remember the Lord Duke's order, and never clash with the nobles of Castel! If necessary, you can choose to temporarily evacuate the infiltrators!"

The eyes of the blood races in the venue were terrified.

Although Earl Urst did not make further analysis and judgment on Scott's intelligence, but combined with the duke's fear of Castel, they already had a vague guess.

This revived god... is very likely to be real, and maybe the Duke has already dealt with the other party!

"Okay, everyone, let's act as soon as possible. Today's meeting is over. In the next few days, you should always pay attention to the changes of the communication crystal."

Earl Ulster said in a deep voice.

After speaking, his figure gradually became unreal, and he was the first to leave the venue.

The remaining blood races fell into commotion again, but the commotion didn't last long, and they left the venue one by one, and one by one walked faster than the other.

The remote meeting of the Ness clan is over.

...

Earl Urst disconnected the communication, and his consciousness returned to reality.

His already pale face looked even paler at this moment, and the scarlet pupils were flickering with a light of surprise:

"The thorn... the rose... this matter must be reported to the Duke as soon as possible!"

After all, he stood up and sat up from his coffin.

And when he saw the pleasing pattern of thorns and roses on his coffin, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Thorns and roses are the favorite plants of the blood race, which naturally includes him.

Not only that, like the blood race in the venue, his coffin was also made in Coria, and it was a luxury limited edition. The patterns on it were more gorgeous than ordinary patterns.

Urst also liked the decoration of his coffin very much at first, but after a meeting, when he looked at his coffin again at this moment, he only felt the cool wind swishing behind him, as if there were eyes staring at it in the dark. with him.

He hurriedly turned out of the coffin, covered the coffin, and called out:

"Bruce! Is Bruce there?"

"My lord, what is your order?"

An old man who was a housekeeper quickly walked in and saluted him.

"Quickly prepare for the remote communication, I want to talk to the Duke in person, right now, right now!"

Earl Ulster said quickly.

"My lord, I have already made arrangements. You can contact your lord at any time."

The old butler said respectfully.

"very good."

Earl Ulster nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a second, then pointed to the coffin behind him:

"Oh, by the way, and this coffin... ordered people to move it out, chopped it up and burned it..."

"Chopped? Burned? Isn't this your favorite coffin?"

The housekeeper was stunned.

Earl Urst's face darkened:

"That was before, after that, it's not anymore."

"Okay...okay."

The butler nodded and was about to act.

"Wait..."

As if thinking of something, Earl Ulster suddenly stopped him.

"Master Earl?"

The butler looked puzzled.

Yurst thought for a while and said:

"Don't split it, don't burn it, fill it with stones, and let it sink into the sea."

"Also... all the furniture and fabrics with thorn patterns in the house, all sank together!"

After hearing what his earl said, the butler was stunned.

He glanced at the thorn pattern decorations that could be found everywhere in the castle, and then fell silent.

"Have you heard clearly?"

Earl Ulster gritted his teeth and repeated.

"Listen... listen clearly..."

The old housekeeper bit the bullet and nodded, and went silently to arrange staff.

Earl Ulster left the bedroom in a hurry, and began to use remote communication magic to communicate with Duke Yorok:

"Your Excellency, I am Yurst, and I have important news to report to you!"

...

"What? The rose of thorns? Evil holy emblem?"

In the gorgeous elf-style bedroom, the corners of Duke Yorok's eyes twitched wildly, and he couldn't help raising his voice.

He glanced at the lace of thorns and roses all around the starry sky robe on his body, and his thoughts were also incoherent.

All the people around me became positive, and my fiancée also had a fever today. I started to have a sore throat last night, and it hurts all day today. My nose is also stuffed, my limbs are a little sore, and my spirit is more tired than usual. I don’t know if I have been tricked too.

However, no fever yet.

I hope not, and I don't know if I am worrying too much.
