Tome of Blood

"What?"

Charlotte put down the goblet in her hand and raised her head instantly.

Seeing her such a big reaction, Nice was slightly startled, and then repeated weakly:

"Save...the savior...are some northern tribes who worship legends..."

"Legend? What kind of legend, and what kind of savior is the savior?"

Charlotte continued to ask.

Nice spread his hands:

"I can't remember this clearly. It all happened hundreds of years ago. I only learned about these tribes from some people in the north when I was traveling... It was the first time I heard about it, so I felt... Quite surprising.”

With that said, Nice looked at Charlotte again and said curiously:

"Lord Charlotte, do you care about this? Did what I said awaken some memories from your past?"

Charlotte hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly:

"So be it."

Nestor suddenly became interested.

Its eyes were shining, and the amber cat eyes were filled with the word "gossip".

However, before it continued to ask, Charlotte had already given it a new order:

"Okay, I already know most of what has happened in the past few months. Go and call Yurst over. It's time to respond to the conditions offered by the Ness clan."

Seeing that Charlotte was unwilling to talk more, Nice had to suppress his curiosity.

It nodded, said "yes" honestly, and then withdrew with some regret.

Nice left, and Charlotte's expression fell into thought.

Savior……

I don't know if it's her sensitivity or something else, but this title really reminds her of the "title" she received from the Free City State when she traveled through the world for the second time.

Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of believers that suddenly appeared after she traveled back this time, it was really difficult not to make her have some bizarre associations...

These hundreds of thousands of believers...

Could it be the remnants of her faith after she traveled through time twice and left traces in history?

There may be something narcissistic about this idea.

But with so many coincidences coming together, it’s really hard not to make people speculate.

Although Sebastian's ability is not small, it is too exaggerated for three thousand believers to turn into nearly half a million in four months. But if it is not Sebastian's doing, but these believers "already exist", then it will be different .

"Whether it is or not, just 'take a look' and you will know."

Looking at the personal status display of the Blood Sacred Scripture, Charlotte said to herself.

Gods can project their own vision through contact with believers.

Charlotte, who possesses the Blood Sacred Code and has also become a demigod herself, can also do it.

The hundreds of thousands of extra believers were as dazzling as the stars in her world of faith. Selecting a few to cast her gaze on was enough for her to figure out what was going on.

Thinking of this, Charlotte decisively sank into consciousness again.

The Holy Book of Blood bloomed, and Charlotte's consciousness returned to the Dark Night Castle again. She sat on the Throne of Blood and summoned her own network of faith.

Dots of starlight spread in the castle, and a dazzling sea of ​​stars appeared in front of Charlotte. The starlight of the star sea was red with gold, which was more magnificent than the crimson sea of ​​​​stars that represented blood descendants.

That is the embodiment of the light of faith.

Charlotte's eyes fell on her own faith network, and she quickly distinguished the hundreds of thousands of extra believers.

Nothing else, because in front of her, the existence of these believers was too unique.

Unlike those believers who existed before she fell asleep.

The believers that Charlotte had before were so bright that they were extremely clear in Charlotte's perception. She could clearly feel the connection between herself and the other party.

But the hundreds of thousands of extra believers are different.

In Charlotte's perception, the connection between her and them was extremely vague, as if there was a layer of veil between them, and it seemed that no real effective connection had been formed.

She sensed it carefully and knew what was going on. These believers were not really included in her belief network.

This is interesting.

The reason why believers become believers is that they are included in their own belief network by gods, establish a "connection" with the power of gods, and receive "protection" from the power of gods.

How can one become a believer without being included in the faith network and connected with her power?

It's like being a student in school.

Every student needs to be enrolled in school. Once he has a student status, he is a student in the school and can attend classes in the school.

But a group of "students" without enrollment status suddenly appeared in Charlotte's "school".

They have never entered school, and there are no files on them in the school, but they suddenly appear in the school. You don’t even know how they came. Not only that, they also have their own seats in the school and their own dormitories. They can listen to classes and interact with the "teacher" on their own bed.

But they just don’t have student status.

They have never been admitted to school, have no files in school, and have not handed in any homework.

So the question is, where did these "students" come from?

If there was no "second" time travel, Charlotte would definitely be confused, but now, she has some guesses in her mind...

"Could it be that... these believers were passed down after I traveled back in time to influence history?"

"My time travel...isn't it just completing the original history, but also changing history?"

It was hard for Charlotte not to think this way.

After all, if she really had such a group of believers, why didn't they appear before, but why did they appear after she traveled through her second time and accepted the title of "Savior"?

Of course, this is all her guess.

Charlotte has to "see" for herself whether these believers are the descendants of the Free City who believe in the "Savior".

Thinking of this, Charlotte started looking among those "starlights".

"The strength of faith determines the brightness of the light. Since I plan to check, I should choose the one with the strongest light of faith. In this case, it will be easier to establish contact and the loss of divine power will be smaller."

Charlotte thought.

These believers have not established a complete connection with her belief network. It will be more difficult and more expensive to cast their gaze than using the belief network.

At this time, it is natural to choose the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

Charlotte's mental power spread, and after a search, she finally found the one with the brightest light deep in the sea of ​​stars.

Then, her divine power blossomed and she threw her consciousness over...

The long-lost sense of "traveling" came.

As the divine power spread, Charlotte felt her consciousness slowly rise, and then quickly go north.

The next moment, she "saw" a strange scene.

It's a magnificent strait canyon.

The majestic mountains are covered with white snow, like the mane of God, stretching endlessly to the sky. The glaciers on the mountain peaks are shining with crystal blue, flowing downward, forming surging waterfalls, rushing down, and pouring into the blue fjords. .

The dense and ancient green forest seems to stretch to the end of the world. You can see sharp-beaked falcons soaring in the treetops, and stags and brown bears roaming in the dense forest.

Beyond the forest, the long and rocky coastline stretches into the distance like an endless serpentine line, and the villages surrounded by tall wooden walls and fortress towers are dimly lit.

The houses in the village are made of rough wood and covered with thick straw, and on the coast, you can still see wooden piers, with majestic and slender warships docked one after another at the pier.

Different from the sailing ships of the Castel Territory, those slender warships are slightly smaller, carved with lifelike dragon head statues, and the hulls are engraved with mysterious runes and exquisite patterns.

Charlotte recognized the origin of this village almost instantly.

If she judged correctly, this should be a traditional northern tribe that used to be a "pirate" part-time.

Just like the Viking pirates who made Western Europeans fearful in the Middle Ages of Blue Star, in the world of Miria, there were also pirates that made the children of Yunite people cry hundreds of years ago, and that was the Northern Pirates.

In that era when pirates were rampant, with their superb navigation skills and powerful force, the Northerners often attacked the coasts of Falling Star and Crescent Kingdom on their warships, plundering huge amounts of wealth. Some pirates even directly attacked the two kingdoms. settled and even invaded the country's coast.

Even the current Fallen Star royal family and the Roman family are descendants of northern pirates if they trace their genealogy.

Although in the past hundred years, with the development of magic technology and alchemy industry, the cities of Yunet countries have become increasingly difficult to be broken by poorly equipped pirates, and the pirates of the North have also declined, but in the Grand Duchy of the North, there are still many problems. Tribes that lack these.

Of course, they no longer engage in piracy, but have turned to hunting monsters in the ocean.

Now they are more like monster hunters wandering on the sea.

Combining the books she had read about the North, Charlotte quickly determined the identity of this village.

However, the question arises, why is the view in the sky?

Charlotte was confused, but...she knew why in the next moment.

With a dragon roar, the view overlooking the strait suddenly lowered towards the village.

Charlotte suddenly understood.

The believer she was "watching" this time was on the back of a dragon.

Charlotte's divine power moved slightly, her field of vision expanded rapidly, and she quickly saw the appearance of the believer clearly.

It was a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old.

She wore a robe made of brown linen, with a simple leather armor attached, a helmet decorated with feathers on her head, and her body covered with various accessories, a typical northern pirate outfit.

Under her body, she was riding a majestic bipedal flying dragon. The flying dragon looked young and should have grown up soon.

"Eudosiya! Let's go back!"

The girl patted the wyvern on the back and called out a name that almost made Charlotte stop.

The two-legged flying dragon roared loudly, circled twice over the village, and then slowly landed.

Seeing the flying dragon landing, the village was in a state of panic and people started to get out of the way.

"Astrid! What are you doing! Come down here quickly!"

A majestic voice came, with a hint of irritation.

Hearing this voice, people consciously moved aside, and a northern warrior wearing a black robe and a big beard appeared in Charlotte's field of vision.

"Father!"

Seeing the warrior, the girl burst into joy.

She jumped off the dragon's back and said cheerfully:

"Father! Did you see that? I can already fly well with Eudocia! I can also participate in battles and hunt monsters for the village like a man!"

"Nonsense! Even the most powerful warrior in the village is prepared to fight for his life every time he goes out to hunt monsters. Why are you, a girl, just messing around!"

The northern warrior's face turned dark and he scolded him sternly.

After saying that, looking at the girl's excited expression that obviously didn't listen at all, the soldier let out a long sigh and said:

"Astrid, don't think about going to sea. The envoys and church representatives from Castells have arrived in the north. I have discussed with the elders and the heads of various tribes and decided to accept the invitation of His Majesty the Grand Duke to represent The Alliance is attending the upcoming banquet in Winterhold."

After hearing the warrior's words, the smile on the girl's face suddenly froze.

Her expression changed, and her delicate face was stained with sullenness:

"Why! Why do you want to accept the Grand Duke's invitation? Do you really want to accept his harsh conditions and abandon our proud beliefs and relatives!"
