Tome of Blood

Chapter 474 -129- The Secret Society of Nes

After the Earl of Stepford finished his report, he bowed and left.

Charlotte waited for a while longer, and the black smoke quickly condensed in the room, finally taking the form of Yurst.

Charlotte glanced at him and asked:

"Have you tracked it?"

Jules nodded:

"We have tracked it. It is indeed a merchant ship of the Dingxiang family. It must be because we were worried about Kraken's attack, so it fell far behind us."

"They thought you didn't know they existed, so they didn't hide it at all. I easily controlled them through black magic."

"I conducted a preliminary interrogation, and they admitted that when the battleship was anchored in Castel Port, they sneaked into the bottom of the ship and smeared the magic marrow of the Deep Sea Demon Squid, and the person who instigated them was a supporter of Duke Asia - Luo The Duke of West of the Star Kingdom, and the Viscount Camden, the leader of the Kingdom’s Knights.”

Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said:

"Duke Asia? The heir to the throne supported by the Ness clan?"

"Yes."

Charlotte chuckled:

"Keep an eye on them and hand them over to Luo Xing's Kingdom Council for disposal after they land."

"I will obey your oracle..."

…

The attack by the sea monster Kraken turned into just an episode in the journey.

As Luo Xing Island gradually emerged on the sea level, the crew's fear and fear dissipated with the wind, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, somewhere in the Kingdom of Fallen Star, a secret meeting of the vampire clan was being held...

This is a dark castle.

The shadowy candlelight hung on the stone wall, making the figures hidden in black robes in the castle hall become more slender.

In the darkness, Duke Robin, the great elder of the Ness Presbyterian Church, stood beside the throne depicting stars and the blood moon, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Under the throne, the blood descendants of Ness in black robes were clearly divided into two groups, confronting each other.

In the larger group, Duke Yorock looked angry.

His scarlet eyes glared at the carefree elf bloodline on the other side, and he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart:

"Alek! The Presbyterian Council should have emphasized that before formally meeting with Castel, no more rash actions should be taken! Why do you on Luna Island still act privately to destroy the plan set by the Presbyterian Council!"

Among the vampires on the other side, the vampire elf Alek smiled slightly and said:

"Lord Yorok, haven't you learned a lesson from the failure of the Roman ritual? Charlotte of Castor has obviously become a pawn of the mysterious prince, trying to reach a deal and cooperate with the gods as a mortal. The final outcome is to be eaten up and wiped clean by the gods."

"Or...are you really planning to betray His Majesty Kexi and become a vassal of a strange prince?"

Duke Yorock's expression became even more angry:

"Alek! Don't even think about putting your hat on my head! Holy Advent is coming soon, and we, the blood descendants of Ness, must avoid making more enemies. You are hunting the Deep Sea Demon Squid and assassinating the descendants of the gods. Are you really not afraid of attracting the wrath of the gods?"

Alec chuckled and said:

"Lord Yorok, I know that you have experienced the magnificent era of the Mythic Era, and it is reasonable to fear the gods. However... I want to remind you that times have changed. Today's era is for mortals. era."

"The predicted Holy Advent is indeed a disaster, but for the gods, how can it not be a disaster? We need to stay vigilant and keep a distance from the gods, but this does not mean that we must always remain fearful."

"Furthermore, it is the Lilac family who carried out the assassination operation against Kingdom Speaker Stafford and Earl Castel. What does it have to do with us?"

"Rather, if Charlotte of Castel is really devoured by the giant Kraken, it will be a clever way for us to divert trouble from the east."

"Alek! You are so crazy! How dare you design a god! You are so arrogant!"

Duke Yorock said with a gloomy expression.

The blood elf shook his head:

"No, Lord Yorok, you are too timid. I think...even His Majesty Kesi is here, I am afraid he will agree with my point of view."

"The gods behind Castel are obviously very interested in Falling Star Kingdom. Not just anyone can recognize the Roman Sword as its owner. To be able to recognize Count Castel as its master so easily must be the work of the gods afterwards. And Count Castel... is just a mortal who is a puppet in name only."

"Our current crisis seems to be the succession to the throne, but in fact it is the coveting of the gods."

"Don't you think that if the Sea King Church confronts Castel, it can perfectly solve the crisis we are facing now?"

"Don't forget, since Kesi fell asleep under his crown, the followers of Sea King, like the Holy Royal Court, coveted the belief in Luo Xing... It would be great if they could make them hate each other. This would kill two birds with one stone. strategy."

"For our Nes clan, we not only need to regain control of Luo Xing's autonomy, but we also need to maintain the purity of Luo Xing's faith before Kexi Mian awakens. In this way, we can integrate Luo Xing's power and the sacred The Royal Court, competing with other forces.”

After listening to Alek's words, Duke Yorock fell into deep thought.

It had to be said that although he was quite angry at the Luna Island lineage's completely non-greeting behavior, Alek's words did make some sense.

However, he was still uneasy in his heart. He didn't know where this uneasiness came from, but he always felt as if he had overlooked something.

"Alec, aren't you worried that Kraken's attack will fail and his plan will be exposed, incurring even greater wrath from the gods behind Castel?"

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Failed? How could it fail? That was the giant beast Kraken, which once swallowed the gods."

Alec smiled.

Duke Yorock didn't know what to say.

Until suddenly, another vampire in black robes hurriedly entered the venue, came to his side, and whispered in a low voice.

After hearing the report, Duke Yorock's scarlet pupils suddenly shrank, and the suppressed anger suddenly rose again:

"Alec! You... bastard! Yurst is on that ship too!"

he said angrily.

Alek, the blood elf, looked surprised:

"Really? That's such a pity. I can only say that... Yurst is unlucky, so just think that he dedicated his life to the cause of His Majesty Kesi. Our Lord will remember his contribution."

Seeing the regretful look on Alek's face, Duke Yorock became even more angry:

"Alek! Yurst is the descendant I value most! If anything happens to him, you and I will be on equal footing..."

"That's enough! It's too late to make noises at this time, how unbecoming it is!"

A scold interrupted Duke Yorock's words.

The great elder Duke Robin, who had been silent, finally spoke.

Terrifying pressure swept over the venue, and all the nobles immediately fell silent.

The Great Elder glanced at the angry Duke Yorock, sighed, turned to the throne beside him, and said respectfully:

"Lord Bardock, this matter... still needs your decision."

On the throne.

A strong figure was hidden in the darkness.

He was covered in armor, dressed as a knight, and even wore an ancient knight's helmet on his head. The style of the armor was very different from the current Yunet's style, and was more elf-like.

I saw the "Knight" slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes. The abyss-like gaze showed no trace of fluctuation, as if it were a machine without emotions:

"The faith of Luo Xing Island... does not tolerate the influence of other gods, let alone... it is a blood god who does not know his true identity. This kind of existence... is even more dangerous than other gods."

"Alek, although your approach is radical, I do not deny the rationality behind it."

"It's just...I have a question."

As he said that, the "Knight" looked at the smiling Alek, his scarlet eyes like an abyss:

"Are you doing all this... really for His Majesty Kexi?"

"Of course, Lord Bardock, everything I do is for the return of His Majesty Kexi. Only by driving all other mythological forces out of Falling Star and preventing their infiltration can we strive for more success for our Lord's resurrection. More time, on the contrary, if Charlotte, who is sitting back and watching Castle, comes to Falling Star, we will probably need to face the god behind her."

"So... we must take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her, and I made this arrangement with the same consideration. As long as we attract the giant ocean beast Kraken, let alone her, a descendant of the gods, even if it is the one who comes, The resurrected god who doesn’t know the truth will also be buried in the sea!”

The blood-born elf said respectfully and confidently.

The "Knight" looked at him calmly and didn't speak for a long time.

Until another vampire hurriedly entered the venue:

"Lord Bardock, Lord Great Elder! There is an emergency report over there in Falling Star City!"

The vampires in the hall all looked at him.

"explain."

Great Elder Robin signaled.

Being watched by many big bosses, the vampire who reported the news swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly:

"I...we have received definite news that Charlotte of Castel...has arrived safely at Falling Star Port aboard the Kingdom Council's warship not long ago."

"It is rumored that... they encountered the legendary beast Kraken, but in the end they successfully forced the opponent back."

After hearing what the reporting vampire said, Alek's expression was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened:

"This is impossible!"
