Tome of Blood

Chapter 484 -139- Confused memory

Bardock's reaction was beyond Charlotte's expectations.

Looking at the confused former city-state army commander, Charlotte couldn't help but ask:

"Bardock, you...don't remember Lilith?"

Bardock shook his head:

"Lord Cain, to be honest, a name like Lilith is not uncommon, but... I thought about it, and I don't seem to know anyone with this name."

After hearing Bardock's words, Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You... really can't remember? Who was the person who led you to establish the Free City-State Alliance?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Bardock's expression became even more confused:

"The person who led us to establish the Free Cities Alliance? Isn't that... you?"

Charlotte was silent.

She sighed and changed her approach:

"So...do you remember Harald? Who is Harald's sister?"

"ha……"

Bardock was slightly startled.

He hesitated for a moment and did not dare to say the name. Instead, he glanced at the sky cautiously and asked with some anxiety:

"You...you mean the one above? Does he...have a sister?"

Charlotte's heart sank, and the ominous premonition became stronger.

"Bardock, who will lead you from weak to strong, and finally conquer the continent...who will lead you?"

She looked at Bardock seriously and asked again.

"Isn't it...you? You saved us when we were in crisis, led us to resist the elves, and gave us new life..."

Bardock said matter-of-factly.

"just me?"

"Is not it?"

Charlotte:…

Seeing the girl's increasingly serious expression, Bardock hesitated.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Lord Cain, could it be that... apart from what happened later, I have forgotten other things?"

Charlotte was silent.

"You said you lost your memory, so... what are the specific memories you lost?"

Charlotte thought for a moment and asked in a different way.

Bardock replied respectfully:

"It's a memory after the Dawn War. In that 'Dawn War' where I fought the elven army, I suffered heavy losses and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I was already in the tomb of the Ness clan. ”

"I have communicated with those members of the Ness clan, and they told me that it was I who assisted Kesi, the stargazer, in establishing the Ness clan. It was also I who supported Kesi in resisting the cruel and unscrupulous True Ancestor of Blood, and in the True Ancestor of Blood After Zu disappeared, he led the Ness clan towards true freedom..."

"However, I have no memory of any of these things. I even find it incredible that Kexi can become a myth. After all... in my memory, he is just one of the new descendants you selected to expand the legion. His strength... was too weak at that time..."

Charlotte was silent again.

She took a breath and said:

"Bardock, tell me everything in your memory, from the first time we met to before you fell asleep, intact."

Bardock looked at Charlotte with a serious face worriedly, nodded, and started telling his memories from the beginning...

…

Bardock recounts a memory that is familiar but completely different from Charlotte's.

The similarity is that the same is to resist the rule of the elves, the same is to establish a free city-state, to fight against the old gods and elves...

But the difference is that Harald and Lilith in Charlotte's memory are all replaced by herself.

Bardock didn't remember Lilith at all, and he didn't even have memories related to Harald. From beginning to end, Charlotte was the only one who led them.

Those things that Charlotte remembers Lilith and Harald doing have all become her own. Even Lilith's death has become Charlotte's awakening of the power of the vampires before she died, and she has become her own. The ancestor of the vampire clan.

At the same time, Bardock's memory stopped at the end of the "War at Dawn".

In his words, the War of Dawn was a battle that broke out between the Free City-State Alliance and the Elf Alliance. It was a key battle between the Elf Tribe and the Vampire Tribe for dominance in the western part of the continent.

Bardock, who was seriously injured, didn't know what happened after that.

Until he woke up again, he looked at the blood descendant of Ness who saluted him with a confused face, and then learned about his "great achievements" from the Ness clan.

After listening to Bardock's story, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

To be honest, she didn't feel that her time-travel memories were false.

She has verified through "Journey Here" that she has indeed traveled through time, and she has indeed met "Lilith" and "Harald" and became their teacher.

She indeed gave power to "Lilith" during her last time travel. Her memory should be true, at least in this regard, there should be no problem.

Then... things are clear.

The problem should not be hers, but Bardock.

Bardock's memories of Lilith and Harald were erased by some force, or... modified.

However, Bardock still remembers Harald, the Lord of the Holy Court.

What he didn't remember was Harald, the founder of the Free Cities Alliance.

But Lilith... almost all traces of her existence were completely "erased", and all related memories were replaced by Charlotte.

What exactly is going on?

Why are Bardock's memories different from hers?

There are other vampires... Charlotte looked through many classics, but could not find a description of "Lilith", and neither Albrecht nor Yurst had any impression of this name.

Before, Charlotte thought that maybe Lilith had hidden her real name for various reasons, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, but that her existence... has been "erased" from the memory of the vampires. .

The only traces left seemed to be Charlotte's own memory, and the signature written by Lilith on the title page of the Book of Blood.

The more Charlotte thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Obviously, in real history, Lilith should have become a god.

So... what kind of power can actually erase the existence of a god?

And Harald...

Forget about Lilith, Harald's existence is obviously still known, so why has even the memory about him been modified?

Who did this?

What's the conspiracy?

Does this still concern herself?

No……

The memory about Lilith was replaced by her, which must be related to herself!

Or maybe this confusion of memory is also related to her time travel?

Charlotte's expression gradually became serious.

She only felt that in this chaotic memory, there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling everything secretly.

And this is likely to be related to Lilith's "madness" in real history.

"Lord Cain, I heard the tribesmen of Nes tell what happened after I fell asleep. Is the True Ancestor of Blood they described... really you?"

Bardock hesitated and asked again.

Charlotte glanced at him:

"What do you think?"

Bardock shook his head repeatedly:

"No, it must not be the case. In their description, the True Ancestor of Blood was so cruel and cruel. I don't think it was you."

"In order to let us have our own home, you even sacrificed your own bloodline. Such a kind you... will never go further and kill the vampires!"

So... did you just speak for me in front of those Nes blood descendants?

Charlotte's mood was a little complicated.

To be honest, Bardock's memory confused her with Lilith.

Those experiences in his memory where the True Ancestor turned the tide and was even willing to sacrifice his own power for the future of the clan were not done by Charlotte, but in fact it was Lilith who did it.

Of course, various signs indicate that the "cruel and cruel" True Ancestor of Blood is most likely Lilith.

"Lord Cain, I... must have forgotten something key. Can you help me clarify this?"

Bardock requested.

He had a worried look on his face and seemed quite uneasy.

Looking at the former commander of the Third Army, Charlotte was silent for a moment and said:

"You did forget something crucial."

"I have indeed given the mortal blood the power, but...it is not me who leads you to establish the Free City-State Alliance and leads the blood to truly rise."

"At least... judging from my current 'recovered' memories, that's not me."

"Not you? How is this possible? Are you saying that my memory has been modified? The memories of all vampires have been modified?"

"This... is impossible. I have checked my memory. I have indeed forgotten some things, but my memory has definitely not been modified by anyone! Even if it is a god, if he wants to modify his memory, he will definitely leave traces. !”

"Then... what if the person who modified the memory is not a 'human'?"

Charlotte asked rhetorically.

Bardock was startled for a moment, and then his eyes widened in an instant.

For a moment, both people were silent.

After a moment, Charlotte sighed and said:

"Bardock, don't continue to worry about the memory issue. I will slowly figure out the truth. Of course, in this process, I also need your help."

"This is natural. You are our ancestor, the great ancestor of blood. Following your orders is what I should do."

Bardock replied matter-of-factly.

Charlotte paused slightly, her mood became more complicated.

She sighed and said:

"In this case, then first integrate the power of the Ness clan for me. Since the Ness clan respects you so much, I think... you should be able to help me and make them put down their guard against me and swear allegiance to me."

Bardock nodded:

"Everything follows your instructions."

"Also... don't leak our communication today to anyone."

Charlotte thought for a while and then said seriously.

Bardock's expression also became serious:

"I see."
