Tome of Blood

Chapter 374 -30- Charlotte's Promise

Looking at Sebastian's exaggerated and somewhat complicated and vigilant expression, Charlotte knew that this guy probably wanted to go wrong again.

When she accepted Yurst as a new blood family member, the other party had a similar expression, which presumably thought that she had accepted the Dark Apostle as a family member again.

Thinking of this, Charlotte was speechless.

Sebastian is good at everything, considerate service, excellent ability, not to mention saving her a lot of energy, but also serving her very satisfactorily, and working with the maid Shirley is perfect.

It's just that this character is too protective, really like a big dog. Any other existence approaching her will arouse his vigilance, for fear of stealing his position.

However, Charlotte didn't dislike the other party's reaction.

Paying attention to her position in her heart is actually a representative of loyalty.

Of course, Sebastian chose to follow her at first because of his further ambitions.

The other party has never concealed this point, and it has been said openly and honestly when they pledged their allegiance.

However, a master and a servant have been together for nearly two years and have experienced a lot together. The relationship between them is no longer just a "deal" at the beginning.

When Charlotte rescued him from the Grand Knight of the Boulder Tribunal, and when the two parties signed the blood contract, Sebastian had already become Charlotte's follower in a true sense, not just a person for himself. Further, careerists who want to hitch a ride.

After thinking about it, Charlotte explained one more sentence:

"Albrecht was forced into a contract by me to become a blood servant, not a family member. He will be our pawn to infiltrate the Gorefiend Sect."

"The Blood Demon Sect has already known about my existence, even if it doesn't know my identity, but it is a hidden danger after all. Since we plan to develop in New Moon, we must deal with this organization as soon as possible..."

"For a secret organization like the Blood Demon Order, it is easier to infiltrate from the inside than to attack from the outside. This is the reason why I chose Albrecht."

As she spoke, she glanced at Sebastian:

"Just like Urst was to the Ness clan, I will not keep Albrecht by my side, and you don't have to worry that he will take your position."

"I am very satisfied with your service. In my opinion, you are the only one who is competent for the job of housekeeper, so...don't think about it."

Hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian was stunned for a moment, his expression was awkward, and he felt uncomfortable when he was seen through.

He coughed dryly and said embarrassingly:

"Master, you misunderstood. Sebastian is also very happy to see that you have more and more followers. How could you be thinking wildly?"

"Oh, did you? I thought you were worried about being upstaged."

Charlotte glanced at him with a half-smile.

Sebastian felt even more uncomfortable being stared at by Charlotte's starry crimson eyes.

He sighed and said:

"Well, great master, Sebastian is actually a little uncomfortable and a little worried..."

"However, Sebastian assures you, this is not aimed at you, but... aimed at Sebastian himself."

Saying that, the flame elf was slightly disappointed, sighed, and smiled wryly:

"Master, your strength has recovered faster than Sebastian imagined. In less than two years, you have been able to fight against the legends of the digital church, and you can also take the legendary blood for your own use."

"But Sebastian... is still just a silver moon."

"Sebas is really worried, worried about losing value and status in your heart, worried that his strength will not catch up with your progress..."

After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte was a little surprised.

She didn't expect the other party to think so.

She looked at Sebastian again, and Sebastian leaned slightly, lowering his head a little ashamedly.

Through the secret blood contract with the other party, Charlotte seems to be able to feel the uneasiness and anxiety in the other party's heart, as well as the confusion about the future.

Charlotte knew what that confusion was.

That's a lack of confidence in yourself.

Sebastian used to be Chi Yang, but fell down due to a serious injury, and there is no possibility of recovery.

Although becoming her dependent, there is a possibility of recovering strength, but that possibility cannot be achieved in a short while.

After becoming a member of the blood family, Sebastian was very excited and insisted on exercising every day, hoping to recover to the strength of the blazing sun as soon as possible.

Charlotte also knew about these things. She had seen Sebastian, who had been busy all day, go to the quiet room for training more than once after nightfall.

His strength has indeed improved, but compared to a complete recovery, it is still not enough.

Perhaps given him a longer time, he will recover his strength sooner or later, but compared to Charlotte's improvement speed, compared to the strength of the new "followers" that Charlotte has recruited time and time again, his strength is becoming less and less enough read.

So... He inevitably developed anxiety and even self-doubt.

This is also understandable.

You know, when Charlotte first met the other party, the strong strength of the other party was still her trump card.

But now, not to mention the liberation of the true ancestor, even if Charlotte uses the actual strength of her own body to compare with the opponent, Sebas is probably no longer her own opponent.

Sebastian is the peak of Silver Moon.

Charlotte has already reached the peak of Silver Moon with the fusion statue, and also has stronger patience and resistance because of her special physique.

The strength gap between the two sides has already been reversed, not only that, it will continue to increase in the future, and the followers Charlotte will subdue in the future will only become stronger and stronger.

In this way, I am afraid that whoever changes it will be anxious.

After carefully perceiving Sebastian's strength, Charlotte sighed slightly.

She wanted to pat the other person on the shoulder to comfort her, but after looking at the height difference between the two parties, she estimated that she would be able to reach the other person's shoulder by standing on tiptoe, and then gave up the idea of ​​humiliating herself.

"Don't underestimate yourself, you have already done a good job, as for your strength... when the time is right, I will personally help you recover, even if it is a step further, it is not impossible."

Charlotte said.

Sebastian was stunned for a moment, with a dazed expression on his face.

Seeing his embarrassing expression, Charlotte looked disgusted:

"Okay, look up, I said a long time ago that those who make merit will naturally get their due rewards, and I can see all your efforts."

"Compared to strength, I value loyalty more. Unfaithful people will never really come into my sight, and you are already a subordinate I recognize."

Hearing Charlotte's seemingly impatient but actually comforting words, Sebas's heart trembled and his face was touched:

"Owner……"

Looking at his appearance that was about to be moved to tears, Charlotte twitched the corners of her mouth and said:

"Okay, they are all elves who have lived for hundreds of years, don't act like a child, do what you should do. I'm a little thirsty, prepare some extraordinary blood for me."

Sebastian: ...

Taking a deep breath, Sebastian saluted:

"Sorry, master, I lost my temper, I'm going to prepare a supper for you right now."

After speaking, he saluted respectfully again, and then slowly took his leave.

Watching Sebastian leave, Charlotte leaned on the railing, thoughtful.

In a sense, Sebastian's mood also reflected a certain state of her current power.

With the passage of time, her own strength has been getting stronger and stronger, and with the addition of cheats, it has already exceeded the specification, and she has already half-stepped into the mythical battle.

But the overall strength of her followers is too weak, and some of them can't keep up with her pace.

Especially in the inner circle headed by Sebastian, who knows her true identity, the strongest is Sebastian himself.

For example, Ness the Black Cat, and the werewolf Luf, the current priest of the Blood Wolf Tribe, are even weaker.

Charlotte wants to develop her power and strengthen her faith. It is impossible to do everything by herself, and she definitely needs followers to do things.

If she wants to gain a firm foothold in the kingdom and even the entire Miriam, not only herself, but also her followers need to be stronger.

At least...you have to stay calm.

"Perhaps, it's time for me to think about it and improve everyone's strength."

Charlotte said to herself.

The conventional way to improve strength is to conduct extraordinary training, but this process is too slow.

Charlotte has a trick, though.

That is one of the abilities unlocked by [Sacred Tome of Blood] - [Divine Blessing].

[Divine Blessing] is a rare ability in the Holy Tome of Blood that can use the divine power of blood. It can consume a certain amount of divine power to give the target a corresponding blessing effect.

Charlotte has tried it a few times. This effect can be permanent or temporary. The consumption of divine power is also proportional to the strength of the blessing effect. It can be applied to objects or people.

She can use this ability to make "artifacts", and she can also use this ability to give believers the power to cast divine spells. She can even use this power to strengthen the target's bloodline power and directly enhance the opponent's strength.

Of course, the consumption is not small, and what is directly consumed is divine power, so Charlotte, who has always been scarce in divine power, has not used it much, but put this ability on hold for the time being.

But now that she has fused with the mysterious statue, divine power is no longer so scarce.

In addition, she unlocked the [Faith Network] later, and was able to establish a deeper connection with believers. If she used divine power to bless believers, descendants, and dependents with power, it was not a complete gift, but became a kind of spiritual power in a certain sense. This kind of long-term investment can benefit from the growth of the opponent's strength...

This is a long-term process, but if it accumulates, it can become the main source of blood power, and it may even help Charlotte ascend to the throne in the true sense!

Thinking of this, Charlotte has a plan:

"After Albrecht sacrifices a new idol, the central meeting is successfully concluded, and I return to the Northland, let's put this matter on the agenda..."
