Tome of Blood

Charlotte didn't know how much time had passed.

She only felt as if she had entered the boundless darkness again, unable to sense the passage of time or her own existence.

However, after having her first "time travel" experience, Charlotte was not in a hurry.

She waited quietly, waited...

Until the familiar crimson light appeared, Charlotte once again saw the "Blood Sacred Book" that she was quite familiar with.

Just like the awakening and return after the first time travel, it still lies in the depths of darkness, emitting dazzling light, illuminating the boundless darkness, like a beacon that leads Charlotte back.

The familiar feeling of rejection came from all directions, and Charlotte once again felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

Consciousness gradually became clearer, and the sense of control over the body quickly returned.

Charlotte felt like her soul had returned from an out-of-body experience, feeling the real world again.

The spiritual connection with the Blood Sacred Scripture reappeared, and even the Roman Sword, an artifact that had lost contact during the time travel, Charlotte sensed the existence of the contract again.

Gradually, Charlotte's various contracts appeared one after another, including Nice's Servant's Oath, Albrecht's blood servant contract, Sebas and Yurst's blood contract, and the surrender of the black dragon Eudocia. pledge……

After various contracts, Charlotte saw a bright sea of ​​stars.

The stars are dotted, colorful and dreamy, and each one has some mysterious connection with her.

The murmurs of prayers rang in her ears, growing more numerous and noisier, and Charlotte soon realized that they were her followers.

However, when she saw the scale of the starlight, she was shocked almost instantly.

The stars are so bright and numerous that if you look at them, they are so densely packed that there may be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them...

And when Charlotte had the idea of ​​counting the number, an exaggerated familiarity naturally emerged in her consciousness:

475349……

Four hundred and seventy thousand...

She "slept" for a while, and when she woke up, she suddenly gained nearly half a million believers!

Damn it, how long had she been asleep? !

Couldn't he have been sleeping for several years? !

You know, it took her two years to only have 3,000 believers, and the entire Castel Territory has a population of only 5 million!

Charlotte was no longer sleepy immediately.

She woke up from her "sleep" almost instantly and sat up directly.

Then... there was a "bang", as if her forehead hit something, and she was hit back again.

Neither magic nor divine power was used. This "duang" was quite serious.

Charlotte grinned and opened her eyes.

What caught her eye was still the familiar coffin lid, which was also the culprit of hitting her head. Sebas specially customized an exclusive coffin for her that would be difficult to smash even if the legend came.

The coffin lid is gorgeous, with luminous pearls and gems shining under the light of the external magic lamp.

Charlotte took a deep breath, pushed upwards, and pushed the coffin lid open.

Controlling her sluggish body, Charlotte sat up from the coffin. She moved her aching neck, and then quickly looked around.

Inside the secret room, there was no difference from before she fell asleep.

The various magic arrays arranged before falling asleep are also functioning normally, even the self-cleaning magic is still active, and the magic crystal located in the center of the array that provides magic power is still crystal clear.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these magic crystals are fine products produced by Castel's alchemy workshop, they cannot last too long.

Before Charlotte fell asleep, the magic circle was arranged based on the time of her first sleep, and was specially extended, but it could only last for three years at most.

At present, these magic crystals are still crystal clear, and it is obvious that the magic power is still extremely abundant.

There was no trace of anyone else entering the secret room, and these magic crystals had not been replaced.

Obviously, Charlotte's "sleeping" time this time was not too long, and it was impossible to sleep for several years.

That would be strange. If they only slept for a few months, how did Sebas and the others manage to inflate the number of her followers to nearly half a million like a balloon?

It’s not like preaching openly!

This... is almost one-tenth of the population of the entire Castel Territory!

So...how long did she sleep?

Charlotte felt more and more surprised.

"By the way... the magic clock!"

Recalling the arrangements before falling asleep, Charlotte patted her head and quickly looked at the magic clock prepared in advance on the side of the coffin.

It was a magic clock specially used to tell time. It could not only tell time, but also count days, months, and years. It was specially prepared by Charlotte so that she could immediately judge how long she had slept after she woke up.

On the side of the luxurious coffin, the magic clock is still ticking, and the calendar on the clock shows that it is January 10, 1447 in the sacred calendar.

"January 10th...the date I fell asleep was September 10th, 1946. So, did I sleep for four months this time?"

"In four months... Sebastian and the others helped me develop so many believers?"

There's something wonderful about Charlotte's expression.

She became more and more curious about how Sebas and the others did it.

However, in addition to the believers, Charlotte also quickly noticed something else...

"Wait a minute, I remember the first time I fell asleep, I slept for three months."

"This time... it's four months."

"This time I stayed in the Age of Mythology for twenty days, while the last time it was a month..."

She frowned to herself.

This time's awakening was a bit unexpected. It was not even the "resuscitation" she actively sought, but more like she was automatically ejected when her "power" was used up and the time was up.

Charlotte still couldn't figure out the rules of "time travel", but two times of "time travel" allowed her to make some temporary guesses:

"The time of 'travelling' the second time was one-third less than the first time, but the time of 'sleeping' was one-third longer than the first time..."

"Could it be that in my future time travels, the time of 'traveling' will become shorter and shorter, and the time of 'sleeping' will become longer and longer?"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Charlotte shook her head again:

"No... there are only two samples now, so we can't make a judgment yet. Even if we want to draw a preliminary conclusion, we should at least do another 'time travel'."

"However, the reason for my time travel should be almost certain. I'm afraid it is the power of the Blood Sacred Scripture. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that every time I wake up, it is 'guiding the way' for me... …”

"The Blood Sacred Scripture... is more mysterious than I imagined. It is by no means just the supreme artifact of the Vampire Clan."

"Also...what exactly is the 'origin' mentioned by those old gods?"

"Adora, the God of Hatred and Aberration, said that I have mastered the power of 'Origin', and regarded the 'devouring' attribute of my blood divine power and the ability to counter divine magic as the gift of 'Origin', but I understand very well. My divine power originally originated from the Blood Sacred Scripture, and divine counterattack is also an inherent ability of the Sacred Scripture."

"Could it be that...the power of 'Origin' is actually the power of the Blood Sacred Scripture?"

"The power of the Blood Scripture...comes from the 'origin'?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she had some guesses.

The end of this time travel was too unexpected.

Before she could interrogate Adora and pry out the secrets of ancient myths from her mouth, she returned directly to the "future".

However, it is not without gain. At least, she has further clarified history and confirmed her identity as the ancestor of blood.

If she is really writing history, then obviously, the true ancestor of blood and the ancestor of blood should actually be two people, but it is just that later mortals and vampires confused her with Lilith.

As for whether she was really writing history, Charlotte also had a way to verify it. During the days when she lived in the central tower, she quietly carved the words "Visit Here" in Chinese characters on the top of the tower.

That is a very secret place. If her time travel is true, then in this era, these four words will also exist on the top of the tower of the Royal Library of the Crescent Kingdom.

Charlotte planned to take a trip soon. Even if she didn't go there herself, she would have to send someone to do it.

"It's best for me to confirm it myself, but... it's been four months, and the Ness clan must have taken control of Luo Xing. The Roman Principality has probably become my territory. I'm afraid I will be very busy next..."

"If you are too busy during the next period, you can also send Albrecht to investigate. That guy is elusive and strong enough, so he is very suitable for this task."

Charlotte said to herself.

Shaking her head, Charlotte put her thoughts aside for the moment.

She looked down and saw that she was still naked this time, just like the first time she woke up.

Fortunately, there was no one else around.

Even the Roman Sword, the wisdom artifact that recognized her as her master, was given to Ness before she fell asleep to protect the Castel Territory and respond to believers on her behalf, so it is not around now.

She can only feel the connection with the other party through the contract.

Charlotte stood up, climbed out of the luxurious coffin on tiptoes, then picked up the dress she had prepared before going to sleep, and skillfully put it on.

Hmm...it's a bit cold, after all, it's winter in January, but if I use my magic power a little, I can handle it.

After getting dressed, Charlotte contacted the black cat Ness through the contract:

"Nice, I've woken up. Come meet me in the secret room."

This time, Nice did not lose contact like last time.

According to the plan, this guy should still be active in the Northland as "Charlotte". Charlotte ordered it to come to the secret room to facilitate the identity handover.

After issuing the summons, Charlotte focused her attention on the luxurious coffin.

She fumbled for a moment and took off a photo crystal from the lid of the luxurious coffin.

This is a photo crystal that records the scene inside the luxurious coffin after she fell asleep.

Charlotte wonders what she looked like inside the luxurious coffin while she slept.

Charlotte infuses magic, and the shadow crystal shimmers, casting a magical projection.

Charlotte saw herself lying in a luxurious coffin, closing her eyes and sleeping.

The crimson radiance gradually spread over her body and soon filled the entire luxurious coffin. After the radiance faded, her own body disappeared.

What replaced it was a thick book.

Seeing the book, Charlotte was slightly startled:

"The...sacred book of blood?"

Blood Sacred Scripture!

What was in that luxurious coffin turned out to be the Blood Scripture that Charlotte lost contact with when she traveled through time!

No wonder she couldn't establish a clear connection with the Blood Sacred Scripture when traveling through time. It turns out that the Blood Sacred Scripture is still stuck in this time and space!

This vampire artifact that had only existed deep in her consciousness would actually materialize directly in reality when she traveled through time!

"So... there is a high probability that I have really 'travelled', and the thing that made me 'travel' is most likely really the Holy Book of Blood."

Charlotte mused.

Magic projection can be turned off when you see this.

The time recorded by this projection crystal is limited, and there is no difference after that. What Charlotte looks like when she wakes up cannot be seen.

However, she could probably guess that it was almost the same as when she was sleeping. The crimson light appeared, the Blood Scripture disappeared, and she reappeared or something.

After putting away the projection crystal, Charlotte waited for a moment, and soon, the door of the secret room was knocked.

Charlotte recited a spell silently and opened the seal of the secret room, and another "Charlotte" hurried in.

Looking at the face that looked exactly like her own, but looked awkward, Charlotte felt a little uncomfortable.

On the other side, "Charlotte" turned into a black cat with a "bang", and jumped into Charlotte's arms with a "meow". The cat's face was full of excitement:

"Meow! Lady Charlotte! You finally woke up! If you don't wake up, I will decide the fate of Falling Star Kingdom for you!"

Seeing the black cat rushing toward her, Charlotte subconsciously ducked to the side, and the black cat hit the coffin lid and let out a cry of pain.

It spread its limbs, and with a chirp, a slam fell into the coffin, and the direct reaction force also closed the coffin lid together.

Nice:…

"Get out of here, you soiled my bed."

Charlotte opened the coffin lid in disgust, lifted the black cat up by the back of its neck and put it aside, and then burned the silk velvet cushions in the coffin with a dark fire:

"This mattress is unusable."

Nice:? ? ?
