Tome of Blood

Why are there so many blood descendants?

What is the church doing? Are the priests blind?

This is the capital of Lutecia, not Boulder!

Looking at the young noble in front of him, Charlotte was shocked.

She never expected that in the center of the New Moon Parish, one of the most powerful cities of the Holy Royal Court, there are so many blood races hidden!

Not only that, these vampires even dared to hold a banquet openly, and even invited her, a foreign nobleman!

"Your Excellency, Earl of Castel, you don't need to put on such a serious expression, we invite you to our banquet, it is naturally considered carefully."

The young nobleman smiled slightly and said.

At the same time, many nobles, waiters and maids in the banquet hall also cast their eyes on Charlotte and smiled slightly.

Their movements are uniform, and even their smiling expressions are exactly the same, like puppets being manipulated.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Charlotte suddenly became numb. She was about to commit PTSD when she faced a living corpse when she traveled just now.

The music in the banquet hall changed quietly, and it was no longer as melodious as in the usual banquet hall. The exaggerated soprano and tenor replaced the troubadour's playing and singing, which was strange and solemn.

I don't know when, the dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the lights in the hall also quietly changed from bright to dark, and the shadows became more and more gloomy.

The red wine on the waiter's tray became more and more conspicuous, and a strong smell of blood rushed to his face.

Pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the dimness, looking at Charlotte in unison.

The subtle fluctuations of divine power came, carrying some kind of power to distort people's hearts.

It's a fallen magic.

The good thing is that with the sacred scripture of blood, the interference of divine power at this level under divine magic countermeasures has no effect on Charlotte at all.

But Charlotte is growing more wary.

Her gaze swept across the blood race in the banquet hall, and finally landed on the young nobleman in the lead:

"You...are the Blood Demon Cult? Are you so blatant, aren't you afraid of being judged by the Holy King?"

After hearing what Charlotte said, the young nobleman smiled lightly.

He picked up a cup of bright red blood from the waiter's tray, drank it gracefully, and said:

"Your Excellency, Count Castel, there is no need to test. Since we are holding a banquet here, we are naturally not worried about being discovered by the Holy Royal Court."

Charlotte was silent.

She quickly thought about the meaning of this answer, and at the same time asked calmly:

"What is the purpose of you inviting me here?"

The young nobleman smiled slightly.

I saw him respectfully performed the ancient etiquette of a blood race, and then said:

"Your Excellency the Earl of Castel... No, or more accurately, Your Majesty, our Grand Duke wants to see you, so I invite you here..."

Your Majesty!

They call me Your Majesty!

Charlotte's heart sank.

She narrowed her eyes slightly:

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

The young noble laughed again:

"Your Majesty, you don't need to continue to disguise. Indeed, you hide well, but in front of the great Grand Duke, all disguises are meaningless."

"The rose of thorns is your holy symbol, and the castle of the dark night is your domain of the gods. Your power will never be forgotten by all the lords, and your return will be foreseen by all the lords."

"From the moment you descended in Boulder, His Majesty the Grand Duke has known of your existence, and has been preparing to descend, just to meet you..."

exposed...

Charlotte's heart sank.

And what followed was doubts:

When was she exposed?

She knew that the Ness already knew that there was a "god" behind her.

Considering that the Shedet clan had been undercover in the Ness clan before, the Gorefiend Cult probably also got relevant news.

But knowing that there is a "god" behind her, and knowing that she is that "god" are two different things.

Not to mention... what the other party meant, inside and outside the words, was that she already knew that she was the "True Ancestor of Blood"!

What went wrong?

Charlotte was confused.

She thinks that what she hides is quite appropriate, and all the existences that may recognize her identity are either solved or included.

Under such circumstances, how did the Blood Demon Sect know?

Something didn't feel right for Charlotte.

Somehow, she felt a sense of disobedience, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

However, now it is no longer a question of how to expose oneself...

The words of the young noble gave Charlotte a heavy guess:

"You said that the Gorefiend Grand Duke wants to see me... According to you, could it be that he has already come?"

The corner of the young nobleman's mouth curled up in an evil arc.

I saw him smiling, and his expression gradually became fanatical:

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Majesty the Grand Duke has arrived."

"I would also like to thank you, you have made such a big commotion in the Northland and attracted the attention of the digital legends of the New Moon Parish, which gave us a chance..."

After hearing the words of the young nobleman, Charlotte's heart sank.

She understood what the other party meant.

The Gorefiend Grand Duke has already arrived, and... probably in the capital.

No wonder...

No wonder the Gorefiend Cult dared to openly hold a banquet under the eyes of the church, and so many vampires came.

If Grand Duke Gorefiend had successfully descended, then everything would make sense.

With a myth alive, it would be easy to cover up a blood clan banquet.

It is even more exaggerated to guess, maybe the entire capital has actually been controlled by the Gorefiend Grand Duke!

Charlotte regretted it a little.

She should not have come to this banquet.

Obviously, this banquet is aimed at her.

She has already begun to think about whether to carry out the true ancestor liberation.

She didn't think that Grand Duke Gorefiend wanted to see her with good intentions.

If the other party found out about her real situation, her ending might be quite miserable.

Fortunately, even if Grand Duke Gorefiend has already arrived, considering that the opponent's arrival is not too long, the power that can be exerted is likely to be limited. As long as the true ancestor is liberated, she is not without the power to fight.

But the uneasiness in Charlotte's heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Especially when she was planning to liberate the True Ancestor, there was an indescribable resistance deep in her heart for some reason.

She always felt as if she had overlooked something, and the sense of disobedience in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Okay, Your Majesty, the rest of the time will be handed over to His Majesty the Great Grand Duke."

The young noble said with a smile.

After speaking, his expression became crazy and eager.

The young nobleman suddenly stepped aside, revealing the mysterious idol behind him. He drew a symbol of the eye of the devil on his chest, and said frantically:

"The master who wanders in the abyss and the world..."

"The embodiment of corruption and decay..."

"Savior of the descendants of blood..."

"Your Majesty the Grand Duke! The True Ancestor of Blood has appeared, your humble servant, I beg you to come..."

After finishing speaking, the strange idol exuded red radiance, and an ancient and vast aura slowly descended...

In Charlotte's horrified eyes, a giant shrouded in dark red light slowly emerged in the banquet hall.

The dark red giant couldn't see his face clearly, but just looking at him gave people a feeling of dizziness.

He glanced at Charlotte indifferently, and said in a cold voice without any emotion:

"Blood True Ancestor, your power... I accept it."

The dark red divine power erupted, carrying some kind of power that could distort people's hearts.

When the divine power brushed over the blood descendants present, all the blood descendants showed a look of fanaticism and intoxication.

Immediately afterwards, these blood races "melted" one after another, turning into puddles of blood and being absorbed by the dark red giant...

In the blink of an eye, all the blood descendants in the banquet hall were swallowed by the giant, and the giant's strength was further enhanced!

And after devouring the blood descendants, the weird divine power didn't stop, rushing towards Charlotte...

Charlotte's expression changed drastically.

She mobilized her divine power, the Holy Tome of Blood operated on its own, and the divine magic counterattack was also triggered.

The terrifying divine power quickly engulfed her, and Charlotte only felt the sting of burning and corrosion spreading all over her body.

The Holy Tome of Blood flourished, and the magic countermeasures also strengthened accordingly.

The power of the scriptures and the dark red divine power fought for a full minute before Charlotte barely resisted the opponent's attack.

Charlotte took a deep breath, ready to fight for the true ancestor's liberation, but the moment she was about to fully erupt the divine power of blood, she stopped abruptly.

Feeling the power of the holy tome of blood in her body, and looking at the terrifying red giant in front of her, Charlotte had a strange expression.

She... seems to know where the sense of disobedience lies.

Today's magical countermeasures do not have simple and mysterious words appearing in the field of vision like before...
