Tome of Blood

Chapter 425 -80- Two Earls of Castres

Prince Henry's death was so sudden.

Before the people even recovered from the rebuke of the Roman sword, the first heir of the kingdom had already been burned to ashes.

Dazed, frightened, uneasy...

Various expressions appeared on their faces.

The nobles were much calmer.

They looked serious and whispered to each other, asking if anyone had heard what Prince Henry said before he was killed.

The people may not have reacted, but the nobles who were closest to the scene and possessed extraordinary powers had already realized that Prince Henry should have been killed.

The existence of the shot...

Doesn't seem to want him to say a certain name!

"Cass...? What Cass?"

"It seems that I have never heard of a similar name..."

"No, it shouldn't be finished, probably only half of it, and it may also be the last name."

The nobles whispered, lost in thought.

At the same time, some people thought of the "Castell" family who attended the ceremony.

Many eyes moved up and down the viewing platform, looking for the figure of "Charlotte".

However, when they found the figure of "Earl of Castel", they were stunned.

At some point, "Count Castel" was actually stopped by a maid.

The maid wore the badge of the Castel family, and she was the Earl of Castel's personal maid. However, at this moment, she stood coldly in front of the other party, and her cold voice could not hear a trace of emotion:

"You are not Lord Charlotte."

"Who are you? How dare you pretend to be her? Where is Lord Charlotte?"

Not Lord Charlotte?

The nobles were stunned.

Before they could react, the maid uttered an inhuman scream and rushed towards Earl Castel.

Seeing the maid rushing towards him, Earl Castel's expression also changed, he took out a staff out of nowhere, and quickly chanted a spell.

"boom--!"

A terrifying coercion erupted, and the dazzling magic power swept around the two of them like a heat wave, blowing the nobles away one after another.

And when the brilliance dissipated and the nobles got up in embarrassment, "Count Castel" and "Maid" had already changed their appearances.

The viewing stand has been completely destroyed.

On the ruins, the "Earl of Castel" had changed his clothes at some point.

The dress on her body turned into a long mercenary robe, which didn't seem to fit well. She was pale, and she was panting and holding up her staff, looking at the big man opposite her with fear.

That's really a "hunk".

The huge figure of more than ten meters high brings great oppressive force, the black and shiny scales reflect the faint light in the sun, and the hideous and terrifying skeleton dragon head and sharp horns announce its status to the world. identity……

That... is a black dragon.

"Dragon! It's a dragon!"

"How could there be a dragon here!"

"Run... run away!"

In the square, seeing the ferocious black dragon appearing suddenly, the people showed fear and fled in all directions.

The nobles were not much better.

Some timid ones peed their pants in fright directly under Longwei, and some still had the ability to move, and hurriedly fled...

However, there are also some extraordinary people who are not weak, and they can clearly see what happened just now.

"Black... black dragon?"

"Just...wasn't it a maid? She turned into a black dragon?"

"No...she was originally a black dragon! It turned into a human!"

These extraordinary and powerful nobles quickly reacted.

They quickly gathered together, drew their weapons one after another, and confronted the black dragon together with the royal knights who had arrived late.

However, the black dragon's gaze did not rest on them.

Its scarlet vertical pupils still looked coldly at the panting "Earl Castel", with strong anger in the pupils:

"This outfit...you are a mercenary from East Unite!"

"You guys...you guys are courting death for appearing here!"

"Count Castel" looked at the angry black dragon, and faintly realized something.

She looked at a scar on the inside of Eudocia's dragon wing in disbelief, her eyes widened:

"This scar...is you! It is you! You are the dragon of natural disasters twenty-one years ago!"

Twenty-one years ago?

Dragon of Scourge?

The nobles around were stunned, and some with better memories quickly remembered the old news about the black dragon massacre in the black land of East Unet many years ago.

"No! It turned out to be it! It's that evil black dragon!"

"Defensive circle! Quickly activate the defensive circle!"

"Expand the magic array! Knights! Expand the magic array!"

The knights of the royal family moved quickly and surrounded the black dragon, and the brilliance of magic gradually lit up, covering the black dragon.

The Roman Plaza is heavily guarded, and the extraordinary level of the previous mutations is too high. The royal knights are not qualified to set foot in it at all, but they still have a wealth of experience in dealing with a black dragon that is less than legendary.

After all, if the rumors are true, the black dragon in front of him should have been greatly weakened, and he is no longer as terrifying as when he attacked the city.

The brilliance of magic bloomed, and the royal knights formed a magic array to completely seal the black dragon.

Looking at the royal knights who surrounded him, a fierce light flashed in the black dragon's pupils.

I saw it let out a long howl, opened its mouth wide, and brewed a terrifying dragon's breath.

An even more astonishing dragon's power was released from the black dragon, and the knights and nobles changed their colors one after another, feeling the intimidating coercion that was almost comparable to the legend.

"This level of magic power... is not good! Everyone, run away!"

The royal knight who led the team exclaimed.

However, it was too late.

The terrifying dragon's breath has formed, condensing in the black dragon's mouth.

However, just as the black dragon was about to breathe out its breath, a weary voice suddenly sounded in the square:

"Eodocia, stop."

It wasn't loud.

However, the moment he heard that voice, the Black Dragon, who was still aggressive just now, suddenly paused slightly, and forcefully suppressed the dragon's breath from his mouth.

The knights who were about to welcome the dragon's breath were stunned for a moment.

And soon, they saw a petite maid walking towards the black dragon.

The maid was wearing the standard costume of the Fallen Star Royal Family, and her figure was vaguely familiar.

Seeing the maid, the black dragon's aura suddenly weakened.

Under the astonished eyes of the knights, the black dragon, which was still fierce just now, suddenly shone with magical brilliance, its huge body shrank rapidly, and soon returned to the appearance of a maid.

She landed in front of the petite maid, knelt down on one knee towards her, and saluted respectfully:

"Lord Charlotte."

Charlotte... my lord?

The nobles and knights were stunned.

And at this time, they finally saw the petite maid's face clearly, and when they saw the maid's appearance clearly, their expressions were even more astonished:

"Ca... Earl of Castel?"

"Wait...two Earls of Castel?!"

...

Time goes back to before the sword of Roman awakens.

After Charlotte sent out the blood infused with a trace of her blood power, she no longer paid attention to the outside world, but quietly waited for the ceremony of the Roman royal family.

Of course, this doesn't mean she doesn't know everything about the outside world.

In fact, the blood she sent out is not only the "key", but also her "eyes".

Charlotte is already a "half god", and the divine power of blood she controls has gradually intertwined with her soul, and a trace of divine power of blood in the blood also carries her will.

Her idea is actually very simple.

Roman's sword is likely to be related to the ancient temple, or more precisely, the sleeping space of Roman's sword is likely to be the ancient temple!

That being the case, Charlotte decided to do whatever she could, using the hands of the Roman royal family to connect her will with the book of contract, and then investigate the sealed space of Roman's sword.

If it was really the Temple of the Ancients, Charlotte would be able to successfully establish contact with it with that trace of blood power, and even communicate directly or recover the possible faceless statues.

And if it's not the Temple of the Ancients, then there's no problem. She can satisfy her curiosity and see what Roman's sword looks like.

Divine artifacts with wisdom are quite rare, and most artifact spirits can't even bear the power of divine power at all, so they can only stop holy artifacts.

Even the Holy Tome of Blood mastered by Charlotte, an artifact with obvious power beyond the specification, has no self-awareness.

An intelligent artifact like Roman's Sword is an exception, which is indeed very curious.

Even Charlotte wondered if it had anything to do with the Faceless Idol, after all... the current Nice is also a wise "artifact" in a sense.

As for whether Roman's sword will discover the existence of the blood power, Charlotte is not very worried.

Find out.

There are so many "relics" left by the true ancestor of blood, and the divine power of blood is not uncommon.

Confirming the identity of the myth is not entirely judged by divine power, the will contained in divine power is fundamental.

In other words, as long as the other party cannot discover her will contained in it, it is enough.

Blood dripped on the Roman contract book, which logically activated the ceremony.

At the same time, Charlotte did feel a blur of consciousness waking up from a deep sleep.

She saw a gray space.

The tall stone pillars and the majestic temple are exactly the same as the ancient temple in her impression.

In the center of the temple, there is a rusty elf-style two-handed sword.

Obviously, similar to what she judged, the space where Roman's sword is sealed is the ancient temple, and the rusty two-handed sword is probably the legendary Roman's sword.

Charlotte was very happy to find the Temple of the Ancients.

She manipulated the divine power of blood, and prepared to settle down, so that she could infiltrate again after the ceremony was over.

However, just when Charlotte was about to cut off contact, an accident happened.

After her consciousness came, she only felt that she had established a connection with something in the dark, and formed a certain channel with the divine power in that drop of blood as a fulcrum.

Then...Charlotte found that her accumulated divine power began to rush towards that passage like a flood that found a breach...

Charlotte was taken aback, and quickly cut off the passage of the blood power, but that passage did not disappear, but was directly linked to her body and soul.

Soon, Charlotte discovered that the extracted divine power had become her own magical and spiritual power.

That was a rather exaggerated extraction speed, and Charlotte's magic power and spiritual power were drained almost instantly.

Fortunately, at the moment when she was about to be drained, she finally controlled the secret connection and successfully cut it off before she lost all strength.

This series of changes may seem complicated, but in fact it only happened in a blink of an eye.

At the moment when Charlotte completely cut off contact and his consciousness completely withdrew from the ancient temple, the rusty two-handed sword in the ancient temple burst out with bright silver light.

The mottled scars and rust faded away in the shining brilliance, and the ignorant and weak consciousness quickly became clear and strong.

Roman's sword...was fully awakened.

After that, it is well known.

The sword of Roman appeared, exposed the conspiracy of the Roman royal family, and asked about the source of the blood.

Prince Henry, who wanted to reveal Charlotte's identity, was killed by sudden magic, and the furious Roman Sword chased after the murderer.

This series of changes stunned everyone. With the death of Prince Henry and the departure of Roman's sword, the onlookers soon fell into commotion and chaos.

The ancestor recognition ceremony was announced to be suspended, and the scene was immediately sealed off, while the city guards quickly evacuated the people.

As for the Duke of Conte, who "conspired" with Prince Henry, he was frightened out of his wits at the moment of Prince Henry's death, and fled as if he left the scene.

Charlotte also did not expect this outcome.

However, when Roman's sword violently pursued the murderer, she discovered two things that surprised her.

One is that the mysterious transcendent who shot was the third legend with the power of blood in the city of Roang that she had perceived before.

One is the breath of power emanating from Roman's sword, which she feels quite familiar with. It is the same source of power as hers, and belongs to the breath of the divine power of blood.

Charlotte realized almost instantly.

The sleeping space of Roman's Sword is the Temple of the Ancients, and the faceless statue that originally existed in the Ancient Temple is probably inside the Roman's Sword, or simply put...it may be the Roman's Sword itself!

"Albrecht, catch up and see what's going on."

Charlotte hurriedly gave orders to Albrecht nearby.

Albrecht quickly chased after Charlotte's order.

And it wasn't until a loud dragon chant came that Charlotte finally remembered that Eudocia, who was in charge of "protecting" herself, was still on the viewing platform:

"This voice...is Eudocia!"

Charlotte slapped her head.

There were too many emergencies today, and she even forgot about him for a while!

Regardless of her exhaustion, Charlotte hurriedly left the darkroom and rushed towards the ground.

And when she came to the square, the two sides were already at war.

Regardless of whether it was for the sake of the people who had not been completely evacuated, or for the safety of Eudocia, Charlotte certainly couldn't let the battle really break out, so he immediately chose to stop it.

After seeing Charlotte, Eudocia finally calmed down and returned to her human form to surrender to her.

Charlotte, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at those nobles and knights who looked at her in amazement with some headaches, pinched the corner of her skirt to give a slight greeting, and said apologetically:

"Sorry... Everyone, my maid has a bad temper and surprised everyone."

noble:……

knight:……

Maid?

What the hell do you call that big guy with a scary smell just now a maid? !

They looked at each other strangely, with a mouthful of old stuff in their mouths, not knowing how to spit it out.

After Charlotte finished speaking, she squinted her eyes and looked in another direction:

"Miss Mercenary, where do you... want to go?"

There, "Count Castel", who was about to leave quietly, froze suddenly.
