Tome of Blood

Chapter 365 -21- Demon Contract

Searching for the faint induction, Charlotte quickly located the target.

That's the bookshelf in the study.

Manipulating Bertrand's body, Charlotte went to the bookshelf to search, and soon sensed that the call came from behind the bookshelf.

She is not surprised.

After all, the broken pages of the holy tome are fragments of divine artifacts. Even if they are stored and placed, they cannot be placed outside in a big way. Now it seems that they are hidden in some kind of secret compartment or secret room.

Looking for some memories left by Bertrand, Charlotte groped around on the bookshelf, and soon found a secret mechanism inside the bookshelf.

She flipped it lightly, only to hear a light click from the bookshelf, revealing a secret space behind the bookshelf.

It was indeed a dark room, but it was very small. It seemed to be only four or five square meters in size at most, which was the size of the bathroom in Charlotte's previous life.

This is a secret storage room.

The storage room is full of large and small boxes and scrolls, and there are various weapons and armor hanging on the innermost wall. There is also a recessed bookshelf on the wall at the entrance, which is neatly placed. Qi's books.

Charlotte glanced around, and soon noticed the top box.

It was the latest box, it should be made of Mithril, shining brightly under the dim magic lamp, it was engraved with exquisite and complicated patterns and inscriptions, and it was also inlaid with red magic stones.

Even with a half-level magic level, Charlotte still recognized it. This should be a treasure chest for sealing, and the kind feeling of calling came from the treasure chest.

Obviously, even Bertrand, who is a priest of the Gorefiend, dare not directly put the broken pages of the Holy Code outside. For Charlotte, the broken pages of the Holy Code are completely harmless, but for other blood races, The curse on it is still terrible.

The treasure chest needs a key to open, Charlotte thought about it, groped around, and quickly found a storage ring.

This was discovered when she was just changing clothes.

High-level transcendents like to carry commonly used things in their storage equipment. Sebastian is like this, so is Yurst, and the current blood demon priest is also like this.

Because Bertrand was dead, the spiritual imprint on the storage ring had dissipated, and Charlotte naturally invaded the spiritual power.

There are not many things in the storage space, only some Quintana, some change of clothes, some commonly used spell-casting materials, an identity badge of the Blood Demon Cult, and a bunch of keys.

Charlotte took out the bunch of keys, found the corresponding target after a comparison, inserted it into the slot of the treasure chest, and turned it gently.

With a click, the treasure chest finally opened. When Charlotte saw the situation inside, her eyes straightened.

Without him, there is a large pile of broken pages of the holy scriptures in the treasure chest, at least there must be thirty or forty pages!

There was a burst of joy in her heart, she never expected that Bertrand had collected so many broken pages!

But after thinking about it, I was relieved. This is the capital of Lutecia, the city with the most extraordinary people in the New Moon Kingdom, and Bertrand is an earl-level blood clan. It is normal to collect so many broken pages.

Charlotte couldn't wait to pick up the torn pages to check, and found that most of the torn pages were still from the way of darkness, and besides that, there were some torn pages that didn't bring her any intimacy.

After examining it carefully, she was speechless and found that it should be a fake.

It's also absolutely perfect, even the broken pages of the holy scriptures are fakes.

Fortunately, there are not many fakes, and there are thirty-one genuine pages after they have been scattered and transferred.

Charlotte picked them up with satisfaction, and communicated with the Holy Tome of Blood at the same time. In consciousness, the Holy Tome of Blood bloomed with brilliance, and the remaining pages of the Holy Tome in Charlotte's hand flew up one by one, like As if possessing life, after flying around her, it burrowed into her body.

Of course, to be more precise, he entered Charlotte's consciousness space with the help of Bertrand's body, and finally returned to the Holy Book of Blood.

Crimson brilliance bloomed on the Holy Tome of Blood, and the thick book opened by itself, and new lines of writing slowly emerged on it.

Charlotte distractedly looked at it, and found that it was an extra dark magic one after another, from the lowest level of elementary magic [Dark Touch] to the high-level magic [Death Gaze], there were more than twenty.

In addition to the magic of the way of darkness, there are two more magics of the way of spirit and the way of wildness, one is [Heart of Steel] for strengthening the spiritual power, and the other is for strengthening the body [Power of Giants] ], are all middle-level magic, corresponding to Silver Moon.

Looking at the extra magic, Charlotte is quite satisfied.

With the collection of the broken pages of the holy tome, more and more blood clan magics are recorded in the holy tome of blood. To be honest, she has no shortage of magic learning, and sometimes she even feels a little unable to learn it. If it is not for the holy blood Dian can carry out [Inheritance], she guessed that she had already learned the Ma Claw.

However, it is not a bad thing to have more spare magic. Although most of the magic Charlotte has not even used after learning it, it is better than not learning it.

This is all the background, who knows when it may be used.

Among all the magics, Charlotte feels that the most useful one for her is [Heart of Iron]. With the power of blood, Charlotte can often achieve dimensionality reduction blows by using divine power, but manipulating divine power requires The magic that consumes a lot of mental power and strengthens her mental power can greatly enhance her resilience.

As for the high-level magic [Death Gaze] that appeared, it is a bit tasteless for Charlotte, whose current strength is only Yinyue. However, maybe she can try it when using the divine power of blood, or when she is liberating the true ancestor. Try this blazing sun-level magic.

The remaining pages of the sacred tome returned one by one, and the sacred tome of blood became thicker and thicker.

And after the return of the last broken page, the Holy Tome of Blood erupted with even more dazzling light.

It was no longer the crimson radiance, but the golden radiance Charlotte was familiar with.

After seeing the brilliance, Charlotte's spirit was lifted immediately.

For the Holy Book of Blood, every supplementary page is a repair, and every repair means the evolution of a new blood spell.

And when the repair reaches a certain point, the Holy Code of Blood will unlock a more powerful "ability"!

That's not just a spell, but a more powerful and unique power.

From the earliest [Divine Countermeasure], to the later [Blood Call], to [Zenzu Liberation], which is still Charlotte's trump card, and [God's Blessing] and [Network of Faith], it's all like this.

Obviously, after absorbing so many broken pages this time, the power of the Holy Tome of Blood has returned to a new level!

Charlotte separated the consciousness of manipulating the "puppet" and put her main energy on the Holy Tome of Blood again, and soon saw the quaint golden handwriting emerge on the new blank page——

【The Holy Code of Blood · Chapter of Darkness】

【I listen to the hymns of madness and the whispers of demons,】

【I carve the true names of evil and the images of ancient gods,】

【In the name of darkness, I summon the veil of shadows,】

[I use the soul of madness to summon the spirit of chaos,]

【With the body of a blood spirit, I summon the Eye of Evil,】

【I witness with the oldest contract...】

[Chapter of Darkness core repair, the final ability of this chapter is unlocked——]

【Devil Contract (Active)】

[Devil Contract: As the supreme artifact of the blood clan, the Holy Code of Blood records the obedience contract signed by the true ancestor and the oldest demon, and can drive any responding demon summons from the present world. The strength of the summoned demon is proportional to the power provided , the time to stay in this world is proportional to the power provided. All existences with the blood of demons will be bound by a certain degree of contract. 】

"Devil...a contract?"

Charlotte froze for a moment.

This new ability was somewhat beyond her expectations.

The magic of summoning demons is not absent in the Dark Chapter. Among the recorded magics that Charlotte obtained before, there are magics such as summoning little demons and shadow demons.

However, those are all directional magic, but this magic is described in a more general way.

Charlotte never used the magic to summon demons, because she couldn't use it either.

Dark magic is already taboo in the New Moon Kingdom, let alone the magic of summoning demons. As a lord, Charlotte has no shortage of errands, so the so-called summoning demons is actually quite tasteless.

Because of this, after seeing this new ability, Charlotte felt a little disappointed at first.

However, Charlotte knows that every ability unlocked by the Holy Code of Blood is actually not simple, let alone read the text description. related to the nature of the chapter.

Charlotte studied it carefully again, and soon discovered the specialness of this new ability.

First, [Devil Contract] does not limit the strength and type of summoned demons. As long as the energy used for summoning is large enough, the strength of the summoned demons is also strong enough. level of demons...

Second, the summoned demons need to obey the demon contract. Although they stay for a limited time, they need to obey the summoner unconditionally, instead of worrying about the demon's backlash like other summoning contracts.

Third, not only the summoned demons, as long as they have this ability, it is equivalent to signing a contract with all the demons in a broad sense. Although the binding force is not as strong as the summoned demons, all the existences with demon blood, in the Charlotte's front will be suppressed.

That's pretty strong.

There is no limit to the power and type of summoned demons, and the applicability is wider. If Charlotte is willing to spend money, she can even summon demon monarch-level existences as thugs. This is very meaningful when she is confronted with super-standard powers.

You know, although the liberation of the true ancestor can make Charlotte have the strength close to that of a demigod, but that is only Charlotte's combat power, and her use of the blood power is relatively rough, and she may not be able to fight in real fights. Over those senior legends.

With the devil's contract, it's different.

As long as she is willing to spend divine power, it is enough for Charlotte to summon the demon monarch when fighting against the legend. If she directly hits the divine power, she can drown the opponent.

In addition, the fully obedient summoning demon is equivalent to some more cannon fodder for Charlotte to cause trouble.

When it is inconvenient for her to come forward directly, she can also use this ability to summon some demons to fish in troubled waters.

For example... Actually, now is a good time.

In addition, there is a fourth point, which is the power of the Blood Demon Cult...

It has been almost two years since time travel, and it has been almost two years since Charlotte has dealt with the Blood Demon Sect.

The reason why the Blood Demon Cult is called the "Blood Demon" Cult is not only because its teachings are evil, but also because it itself is related to demons.

Many of the powers of the Gorefiend Cult are similar to demons. Even Abaddon, the Grand Duke of Gorefiend, can tell from the spells that he sacrificed to him that this should be an abyssal demon.

Most blood races have dual identities. For example, Charlotte is a blood race, but she is also a human with half-elf blood. Under the premise of not revealing the essential power, it is still possible to act as a human being in the civilized world.

In the same way, Lord Abaddon of the Gorefiend is a vampire, but before he became a vampire, he was probably also a demon.

At the same time, almost all the members of the Gorefiend Sect have their power sourced from the Gorefiend Duke...

Which brings up another interesting fact.

That is, all the blood descendants of Shedete possess a certain degree of demon power, and the blood of demons flows deep in their veins.

[Devil's Contract] There are certain contractual constraints on the existence of the blood of the devil, and the blood of the true ancestor of the blood has blood pressure on other blood races...

Charlotte was suddenly curious about how much strength the blood descendants of the Gorefiend Cult could display in front of her.

She felt that she might have a chance to give it a try these days.

After studying [Devil's Contract] for a while, Charlotte put it aside.

She was delighted by the recovery of the broken pages of the holy tome, but there were still many things that had not been investigated in this storage room, which was clearly Bertrand's treasure house.

Charlotte is also very interested in the collection of an earl of blood who is also a fief noble of the kingdom.

Charlotte first looked at those boxes, opened them one by one, and found that they were all kinds of precious magic materials and props collected.

She is not a novice anymore, after a general look, and after making a judgment with the [Superior Appraisal] of the spiritual way, she roughly estimated that the extraordinary materials and props in this room are probably worth several million gold pagodas. accept.

Although Charlotte is rich, when it comes to supernatural items, it is not always possible to get them with money. She looked at these things and planned to move all that could be removed.

After some "sweeping", Charlotte's attention was quickly attracted by the books on the inner bookshelf.

On the bookshelves, most of the books are forbidden magic books that record black magic and vampire spells.

With the holy book of blood, these things are not attractive to Charlotte, but what really interests Charlotte is a book made of parchment scrolls and a heavy book in the corner of the bookshelf.

It was a roster, and a notebook.
