Tome of Blood

Chapter 227 -77- The Call from the Blood Race

"Lord Earl, regarding the reconstruction plan of Northland College, the church has sent two documents that need your review and signature."

"In addition, a letter from Viscount Lien-Castel, as of yesterday, the review team has successfully completed the review of the three baronies in the south, and two other baron families who are suspected of cooperating with blood descendants are willing to report to Castel Please pay a huge ransom and hand over three castles and four manors to ask for your forgiveness."

"Master Viscount has attached the confessions of the two barons, waiting for your review and decision."

"..."

"My lord? Your lord...?"

In the study room where official duties were handled, the affairs officer was reading the newly sent documents from all over the territory, while softly calling for the drowsy Charlotte behind the desk.

Charlotte made a quick move and instantly sobered up.

She numbly glanced at the mountain of official documents on the desk that was getting higher and higher with her processing, and nodded lightly:

"Well... I see. Put the file there first. I'll read it myself later."

"Then, about signing..."

the clerk asked cautiously.

"Bring it here."

Charlotte reached out her hand to signal, and the secretary quickly handed over the official document that needed to be signed.

Charlotte picked it up and took a closer look. After confirming that there was no problem, she picked up the quill pen and swiped it with a big hand, dipping in the fragrant carbon ink to write her flamboyant signature on it.

After collecting the official documents, the clerk retired respectfully, while Charlotte yawned, with two big dark circles swollen, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.

"My lord, please use milk coffee and dessert."

The head maid Shirley respectfully placed a hot drink in front of Charlotte.

Milk coffee is similar to the milk coffee in Charlotte's previous life. It is a mixture of deeply cultivated elf coffee and special hot milk from Luna Island. It is also a common drink for the elves in the world of Miria. The elves are popular across the continent.

For dessert, there's Molasses' Wheel Puff, a wheel-shaped puff pastry stuffed with praline custard and ground almonds.

Charlotte picked up the milk coffee, and the mellow aroma poured into her nostrils, refreshing her a lot.

She took a sip, the sweetness was just right, the fragrance was delicate, and the taste was full, which made her nod with satisfaction, secretly thinking that Shirley understood her taste more and more.

"My lord, although it is important to handle official duties, please also pay attention to your body and ensure adequate sleep. After all... your body is still growing."

Looking at Charlotte, who was drinking milk coffee and eating snacks, narrowing her eyes happily, Shirley, the head maid, hesitated for a moment and said cautiously.

Charlotte: ...

Although she knew that the other party had good intentions, but looking at the other party's eyes on her head and chest, she instantly felt that the milk coffee in her hand was not good.

"Well, I'll keep an eye out, thanks."

Charlotte smiled and said.

"If it's okay, let's go down first. I'll drink milk coffee, look at the scenery outside the window, and rest alone."

Shirley saluted respectfully and took her leave slowly, while Charlotte sighed and rubbed her temples tiredly.

She hasn't had a good night's sleep for two days since the Blood Earl named Yourst of the Ness clan left.

It's not that she's busy with business, um... busy business is also one of the reasons. After all, Sebastian, who can help her, is not around, and a lot of political officials of the direct-controlled territory have been dismissed following the review. Now the direct-controlled territory has insufficient manpower for office work. She had to do it herself... What's more, she hadn't slept well for two nights.

Since the day before yesterday, Charlotte has always felt restless, or more precisely, as if someone is calling her.

At first, she thought that Sebas had something to report, but the soul contract of the blood family did not respond at all.

Later, she wondered if the werewolf Luf was holding some religious ceremony or recruiting new people into the religion. After all, this devout werewolf had been focusing on "spreading the belief of the true ancestor" since he arrived in the north.

But after observing the dots of light symbolizing believers in the depths of her spiritual world, she also ruled out this matter.

Charlotte wondered if she might have encountered a situation similar to the one the great priest prayed to her last time...

But this kind of call is much weaker than the kind of prayer of the great priest back then, so that she couldn't locate the source of this call.

And even though it was very weak, this vague call was like a mosquito, lingering around her ears from time to time.

Especially at night, the buzzing sound was even more intense, and it even caused her blood to surge, making her unable to sleep at all.

The good thing is that during the day the calls are a little weaker and less frequent, and Charlotte feels she might be able to take a nap.

However, when she finished drinking the milk coffee and eating the wheel puffs, just when she was about to lean on the armchair and close her eyes to rest, the vague call came again...

Not only that, but this time it was stronger and clearer than ever before.

"Your uncle! Where is the sound coming from? It's not clear, it's buzzing like a decoration, is it annoying!"

Listening to the call that seemed to come from the soul, but also seemed to come from the blood, Charlotte couldn't stand it anymore.

She got up and ordered the maid not to be disturbed, closed the door of the study and locked herself inside, then sank into consciousness, and directly used the divine power of blood stored in the Holy Tome of Blood.

She couldn't believe it, this time she used the divine power of blood, but she still couldn't find the source of this call!

Under the protection of the divine power of blood, Charlotte's brilliant blond hair instantly turned to silver, and her azure blue eyes also transformed into strange and mysterious red gold pupils.

The power of the gods is running, and the perception is also greatly strengthened. Charlotte has opened the "observer" posture that seems to be able to see everything.

And this time, perhaps because the call was stronger than before, she finally sensed the source of the call.

However, when Charlotte sensed the source, she froze instantly.

The source of that voice is not anywhere else, but the crimson sea of ​​stars in the depths of her consciousness that represents the blood race!

No, to be more precise, it is a red star that is far brighter than the surrounding companions in the sea of ​​stars!

"Is it a vampire? Is there a vampire...calling me?"

Charlotte looked surprised.

"Wait... why does this breath feel a little familiar?"

She was thoughtful.

After pondering for a moment, Charlotte carefully touched the bloody light cluster in his consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her consciousness being pulled, and after rising infinitely, she came to a dim room as if she had passed through the boundless void.

In the room and on the ground, crooked symbols were carved on the bloodstains that had gradually turned black, which made Charlotte feel very familiar, like her thorn rose.

In the corner, a noble man with disheveled hair and a pale face, as if he had lost too much blood, was sitting on the floor, staring numbly at the latest bloody symbol in front of him.

His gaze was a little dull, but it seemed to have some hope.

And the symbol in front of him is the one that looks the most like a thorny rose among the ghost symbols scattered all over the room...

When Charlotte saw the other party's appearance clearly, she was stunned:

"Earl Ulster?"

watery and short...

Everyone thinks that slowness can be taken care of, but the reality is that I have been busy recently and my energy is limited. I think it is a miracle that I can update.
