Tome of Blood

The capital of the Roman Duchy, Rohan.

As the second largest city in the north of the Crescent Peninsula after Beigang, the capital of this ancient principality is as prosperous as the capital of Castel.

In fact, before the development of the Northland, it was once the largest trade center in the Xingyue Strait, dominating the trade of the entire strait.

It was only with the passage of time that the Northland continued to develop, and the East Unet Blackland Mercenary Alliance and the Grand Duchy of the Northland also gradually emerged. The trade route of the Xingyue Strait was gradually shifted northward, and finally Roon's status as a trade center was overthrown. Northport replaced.

But even so, today's Roon is still one of the largest port cities on the Crescent Peninsula, with a population of more than half a million.

When Charlotte set foot on the port pier, she was attracted by the tall sculpture on the pier at first sight.

It was a sculpture of a half-elven warrior.

His face was blurred, leaning on a majestic long sword, standing on the pier, looking straight into the distance.

"Your Excellency Castel, this is the hero in the history of the Romans, the half-elf Romanus who led the Romans to successfully settle in the Crescent Peninsula, and he is also the ancestor of the Roman royal family. sword."

Noticing Charlotte's gaze, Urst, who was walking with her, introduced.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

She saw that the statue was filled with all kinds of garlands presented by the people, which showed the great influence of this half-elf hero in the Principality of Romania.

And just as she was looking at the port city curiously, soon a group of guards in full armor came in front of the group.

The leading knight looked at the badge on Ulster's chest, then at Charlotte's clothes and the sailboat with the Castel flag flying beside the deep-water pier not far away, and soon recognized that Out of the identities of the two, he respectfully saluted them:

"Lord Castel, Lord Ulster, welcome to Roon."

Although Yurst is a blood descendant who lives at home, he still has basic aristocratic communication skills.

He nodded slightly and said:

"Take us to the Romanus Hotel. Your Excellency the Earl of Castel came to Roon this time and was invited to attend the ceremony of the Roman Sacrifice."

The knight saluted again, and quickly arranged for soldiers to escort. However, in Charlotte's view, escort was also a kind of surveillance.

After all, for the Fallen Star Kingdom, the lord of the New Moon Kingdom is also considered the lord of the enemy country in a sense.

In Luo'an City, there were lights and festoons everywhere, and it was extremely lively.

The recognition ceremony of the Roman Ancestral Sword cannot be held on a random date. In fact, it can only be held at the annual Roman festival, and this year's festival will be tomorrow.

Charlotte looked at the surrounding streets curiously, and it was time to go sightseeing.

However, Nice may not be able to see these in a short time.

This guy was actually seasick. He vomited countless times after being on the boat for a whole day, and he estimated that it would take a while to recover.

Under the leadership of the city guard, Charlotte and his party quickly settled in a high-end hotel in the city of Roon that specially received nobles. This hotel is adjacent to the city's Romanus Square, and it is also the place where the ancestor ceremony will be held tomorrow.

Charlotte noticed that the preparatory work on the square was almost done, the viewing stand was set up, the altar was set up, and the soldiers of the Fallen Star Kingdom were busy making the final layout of the venue.

"Your Excellency Castel, the ancestor recognition ceremony will officially start tomorrow. Before the ceremony, our people will take you to the dark room directly below to destroy the ceremony. There is not much you need to do, just step by step to intervene in the ceremony." gone."

Earl Ulster said.

Charlotte's heart moved:

"Won't I attract attention after I leave the table?"

Urst explained:

"Master Yorok has prepared a substitute for you, and will watch the ceremony on your behalf while you are away."

"Stand-in? Won't someone see through it?"

"You can rest assured that Master Yorok is a veteran Duke of Blood, and he has profound attainments in illusion magic. He can even rival the elders of the Salem clan who control the spiritual inheritance. No one can do it except Roman's sword." See through his illusion, and Roman's sword has never cared about this kind of worldly dispute, it only cares about its task of strengthening Roman's blood."

Yurst said.

After hearing his words, Charlotte nodded slightly.

The Nice clan has a covenant with the Castel family. At the same time, the Nice clan is obviously afraid of the "god" behind the Castel family, so in this matter, the Nice clan will not lie to her.

Not to mention, Yurst herself is also considered to be her person in a sense.

"Also, tonight there will be a banquet held by the Roman Royal Family in the city. It will be held in the Roman Palace. The nobles who come to watch the ceremony will be invited to the banquet, and you may be among them."

Yurst thought for a while, then said again.

Charlotte's heart moved:

"Is Edward III coming too?"

Yurst shook his head:

"His Majesty the King is seriously injured and bedridden. It is impossible for him to come to Roman. However, he should show his face through the magic projection at tomorrow's ancestor recognition ceremony. It can be regarded as support for Prince Henry."

After finishing speaking, Yurst looked at the time and said:

"Your Excellency Castel, it's getting late. Tomorrow's ceremony, there is still some work to be done within the clan, so I will take my leave first."

"If you want to find me, just go to the front desk of the hotel to find a waiter. This hotel is the property of the Nass clan, and all the waiters are ours."

Charlotte was not surprised after hearing Yurst's words.

In fact, after she stepped into the hotel, she felt the breath of many blood descendants.

Although the other party has concealed his identity as much as possible, as the "True Ancestor" recognized by the Blood Sacred Code, she can still distinguish the other party's smell.

"I see."

Charlotte nodded.

After speaking, Yurst said goodbye and left.

And Charlotte looked at the dense crowd in Romanus Square outside the window, and after thinking for a while, she sank into consciousness again.

The Ness clan attaches great importance to tomorrow's Roman ancestor recognition ceremony.

She was curious about how many blood descendants came from the Ness clan this time.

The brilliance of the Holy Code of Blood bloomed, and Charlotte entered the Dark Night Castle again, summoning the sea of ​​crimson stars.

The dense crimson stars lit up, with Charlotte as the center, gathered within a radius of five kilometers, more stars than any time Charlotte had seen in the past.

Looking around, I'm afraid there are at least a thousand of them.

For this ancestral recognition ceremony, the Ness clan actually dispatched a thousand blood descendants secretly!

In Charlotte's perception, the distribution of these blood descendants is very characteristic. There are three most places, one is the tavern where she is, the other is the Roman Palace opposite the Romanus Square, and the other is the holy city of Roon. Royal Court Church.

Obviously, as the current core sphere of influence of the Nass clan, the church branch of the Holy Royal Court here has been infiltrated into a sieve by the Nass clan.

Among all the blood-born stars, there are three biggest ones.

Among them, the one closest to Charlotte, in the direction of the Roman Palace, gave Charlotte a somewhat familiar aura.

She quickly recognized that when she was attacked in Beigang, the legendary blood descendant she met through the spiritual world should be the Duke of Yorok of the Ness clan.

The second star is farther away, in the direction of the church. Its aura is a bit misty and deep, and its light is also relatively dim. It doesn't look like a normal blood, but it is a bit like Sebastian.

Charlotte estimated that it should be a legend with a bloodline.

However, it was the third one that surprised Charlotte the most.

This is a star that is moving slowly in the city, seemingly wandering leisurely.

If the first star only made Charlotte feel familiar, then the aura of the third star... She couldn't understand it any better.

She had only dealt with this breath more than a month ago.

That was none other than Albrecht, the dark apostle of the Gorefiend Cult who was tricked by Charlotte and forcibly signed a contract and accepted as a blood servant.

"Albrecht? How did this guy come to the Roman Principality?"

Charlotte was curious.

She was wondering whether she should spy on the other party, when suddenly her heart moved again, and she sensed the approach of a familiar aura.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

She pondered for a while, ended her investigation, and returned to reality.

After a while, the door was knocked, and Shirley's voice came over:

"Lord Charlotte, the hotel waiter said that someone downstairs is looking for you, saying that it is your old acquaintance."

Charlotte nodded and said:

"Bring her up, she is indeed my old acquaintance."

After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Shirley walked in with a petite figure fully hidden in a hooded coat.

Charlotte signaled Shirley to close the door, looked at the petite figure in the hood in front of her, and said with a smile:

"Eodocia, why are you also in Roon? What's going on with this outfit?"

Hearing Charlotte's words, the petite figure lifted the hood, and it was the black dragon maid Eudocia who had accepted the task of finding the ancient temple.
