Tome of Blood

Chapter 492 -147- The Nes clan has surrendered

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor..."

Black mist gathered, and the figure of the third dark apostle Albrecht slowly emerged.

He bent slightly, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully to Charlotte.

Charlotte, who had already changed into her aristocratic dress, sat on the armchair.

She gently stretched out her hand and took the crystal cup handed over to her by the obsequious black cat Ness. She took an elegant sip of the special black tea with sweetened milk, and then nodded slightly:

"Get up. Albrecht, have you found out who the traitor is at the top of the parliamentary faction?"

Albrecht glanced at the black cat Ness subconsciously.

After seeing that Charlotte had no intention of letting him retreat, he nodded, a light flashed in his hand, and a gorgeous parchment appeared.

"We have found out. The identity of the other party is somewhat unexpected. I think... maybe you can't guess who is the person who leaked Earl Stafford's secret travel plan."

With that said, he respectfully presented the parchment.

Hearing what Albrecht said, Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately thought of the Luo Xing senior executives she had met.

She calmly took the parchment, and after browsing it, her expression quickly turned into surprise:

"Chief Priest Campbell? It's actually him?"

Albrecht nodded:

"Yes, last night, there were no abnormalities among Earl Stafford, Marquis Howard, and Earl Greenville-Roman. Only at the Holy Royal Court branch where Archpriest Campbell was located, a priest rode a carriage after dark and secretly visited Luo Xing. The headquarters of the Knights of the Kingdom.”

"I didn't alert the snake. I took advantage of Archbishop Campbell's absence and sneaked into his study and found some documents."

As he spoke, Albrecht's hand flashed with light again, and a pile of documents compiled into a volume appeared:

"This is the information I printed with magic. Please review it."

Charlotte looked at him in surprise and took the file over.

It had to be said that Albrecht's efficient work ability really exceeded her expectations. In less than a day, she had achieved such great results.

Although the other party personally investigating these things as a legend was a bit overqualified and bullying others, Charlotte thought that even if she did it herself, it would be difficult to be more efficient than the other party.

Being able to survive for thousands of years in the Blood Demon Order to become the third apostle, Albrecht still has something. That is to say, he was too unlucky and was tricked by Charlotte in Lutecia. Otherwise, now say Maybe I am still living happily in some dark corner.

Charlotte opened the file and continued browsing. Soon, her expression turned into surprise again.

Seeing the change in her expression, Albrecht said respectfully:

"These documents show that Archpriest Campbell...or to be more precise, the branch of the Holy Royal Court in Falling Star Kingdom has been cooperating with the Ness clan from a long time ago."

"Earl Stafford's travel plan was leaked by Archpriest Campbell."

"However, only some members of the Ness clan are cooperating with Archbishop Campbell. Some of Archbishop Campbell's letters even contain content about conspiring to overthrow the existing Council of Elders of the Ness clan."

"There is no unity within the Ness clan. This may have been discovered and exploited by the Holy Royal Court, but... time is limited, and I haven't found much information. I haven't figured out why the chief priest of Kanbul wanted to participate in the attack on you."

"After all, he is the chief priest of the Holy Royal Court, and you... From a superficial point of view, you are indeed the 'saint' officially recognized by the Holy Royal Court."

"Even if we cooperate with some members of the Ness clan and plan to weaken the Ness clan, theoretically speaking, we should not take action against you."

"I have wondered whether this is because the branch of the Holy Royal Court in Falling Star Kingdom has escaped the control of the Theocracy and has deviated from the faith of the Lord of God, so Archpriest Kamble will participate in the attack on you."

"But some documents show that the Fallen Star Chapter of the Holy Royal Court still maintains contacts with the Theocracy. Even their cooperation with some members of the Ness clan has been reported in letters exchanged with the Theocracy. They are still subject to The commander in the center of the Holy Royal Court."

"So... I guess that maybe the Theocracy doesn't like your status as a 'wild saint' and wants to 'remove' you with the help of the Vampire Clan."

After listening to Albrecht's analysis, Charlotte was not surprised.

The Theocratic State really did not want to see her as a "saint". According to her understanding of the Holy Royal Court, if the Theocratic State really valued her, it would have summoned her to the center of the Royal Court as early as when her reputation spread.

This is normal, not to mention whether she is a real or fake saint. According to the system of the Holy Royal Court, if she is really recognized as a saint, the power of the Crescent Diocese will also increase, and now the ecclesiastical country definitely does not want each other to recognize her as a saint. The power of most semi-independent dioceses continued to grow.

Of course, Charlotte doesn't really want to be a saint.

As for the vampires who cooperate with the Theocracy...

Charlotte looked at a certain name on the information and raised her eyebrows slightly:

"Alek Ice Ness?"

"He is a member of the Elders Council of the Ness Clan and belongs to the Luna Island lineage of the Ness Clan. I suspect... the members of the Ness Clan who cooperate with the Theocratic State are probably from the Luna Island lineage."

Albrecht said respectfully.

Having said this, Albrecht showed a devilish smile and continued:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, there are rumors that the Ness clan's Moon God Island lineage has the support of the elves, and the relationship between the elves and the Ness blood descendants of Luo Xing Island has always been quite subtle. Perhaps... we can use this information. , dividing the power within the Ness clan."

"Although the Ness Clan is not as fragmented as the Cult, it is one of the most declining among the major clans. Once you can further divide them, provoke internal fighting among them, and seduce them both to lose, your success in taking over Luo Xing will be The rate will be greatly increased, and even... it will be possible to bring the Ness clan under control again!"

"At that time, you can forcefully sign a blood servant contract with the Ness clan, turn them into slaves who cannot resist you, and turn Falling Star Island into your back garden!"

Charlotte:…

Fine.

You dare to go around in such a big circle because you want to bring the Ness clan together to accompany you as a blood servant, right?

Charlotte looked at Albrecht with strange eyes, who was eagerly planning to trick the Ness clan. Albrecht coughed lightly and said:

"Your Majesty the Great True Ancestor, don't you think this is a great proposal? Weaken the Ness clan, turn them all into blood servants, and punish them justly for their betrayal!"

"Like you?"

Charlotte gave him a ghostly look.

"Yes, just like me...ah, look what you said, it is my honor to be your blood servant. It is an honor for the Ness clan."

Albrecht realized what he had said and quickly changed his words.

Charlotte was noncommittal.

She continued to open the information that Albrecht had brought back, but when she didn't respond, Albrecht didn't dare to ask any more questions. He lowered his head and stood aside to wait respectfully.

After a moment, Charlotte raised her head and handed the information back:

"You are right. The Ness clan should indeed know this information. Please hand over this information to Yurst."

Albrecht was very excited after receiving the recognition:

"In compliance with your oracle, I will revise and improve it and then hand it over to him!"

"No, no need, just leave it as it is."

Charlotte shook her head.

Albrecht was slightly startled:

"Stay intact? Your Majesty True Ancestor, although these materials record the conspiracy of the Elf Bloodline and the Holy Royal Court on Moon God Island, it may not be enough to provoke infighting between the two branches of the Ness clan. .”

"The internal conflicts within the Ness clan are not small, but the biggest threat to the Ness clan now is you. In this case, if the information is not powerful enough, even if they know the other party's conspiracy, they will most likely give up temporarily. Stereotypes are always external.”

Charlotte chuckled:

"It doesn't matter, the Ness clan... is no longer a threat now."

"The Ness clan...isn't a threat anymore?"

Albrecht was stunned.

"Hehehe, Sir Albrecht, you don't know something. The great master just visited the Ness clan last night. Now... the Ness clan has woken up and is loyal to the master again."

Next to Charlotte, the black cat Nice, who already knew what happened, laughed.

"What? The Ness clan...has surrendered?!"

Albrecht was stunned.

He couldn't help but look at Charlotte, and Charlotte nodded slightly, acknowledging what Nice said.

Albrecht's eyes suddenly widened.

Charlotte looked at Albrecht with a strange expression on his face, "How could you weaklings from the Ness clan surrender so quickly? How can I cause trouble in this case?"

She coughed slightly and continued:

"Albrecht, after bringing the information to Yurst, I order you to continue investigating the news about Luna Island, especially the secrets of the so-called elves' blood descendants."

"Investigating...them?"

Albrecht was slightly startled.

His heart moved and he asked:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, is there any problem with the Ness Vampires on the Moon God Island?"

Charlotte glanced at him and said meaningfully:

"The Ness clan is the Ness clan, and Luna Island is Luna Island."

"Those so-called elven blood descendants are not vampires at all."

Are the elves of Luna Island not vampires? !

Albrecht was stunned again.

Seeing Charlotte's expression that didn't look like a joke, his expression gradually became serious:

"I see."

After meeting Charlotte and accepting the new mission, Albrecht withdrew.

Following the coordinates given by Charlotte, it didn't take him long to find Yurst, who had returned with Charlotte.

"Ah...Master Albrecht..."

Seeing the Duke of Blood who came to see him, Yurst quickly bowed.

Albrecht nodded slightly.

Although he was slightly polite and respectful when facing Charlotte, as a legend, Albrecht was proud of himself.

Of course, when he thought that he was a blood servant, and the Earl of Blood in front of him was a blood dependent, his pride soon turned into depression.

As a result, even Yurst's handsome face became a little hateful in his eyes.

He reluctantly nodded in response, and then handed the information in his hand to the other party:

"This is the information that His Majesty the True Ancestor asked me to hand over. It contains some information about the cooperation between the blood descendants of Moon God Island and the Holy Royal Court."

"The blood descendants of Luna Island cooperate with the Holy Royal Court?"

Yurst was stunned for a moment.

He subconsciously took it and planned to open it to check, but Albrecht, who had been holding it in for a while, couldn't help it anymore:

"Yourst, let me ask you, the Ness clan...has surrendered to the True Ancestor?"

Yurst nodded subconsciously:

"Yes, His Majesty the True Ancestor, whom the clan has accepted, once again offered his loyalty to him."

"Why so fast? Did His Majesty the True Ancestor forcibly cast the Blood Servant Contract?"

Albrecht couldn't help but said.

Yurst gave him a strange look and shook his head:

"No, His Majesty the True Ancestor visited the Ness residence. After a friendly exchange, the clan decided to surrender to His Majesty the True Ancestor. The True Ancestor also accepted the clan's allegiance and became the blood of Ness again. Protector of descendants.”

Albrecht:…

A friendly exchange?

What is friendly communication?

So... is he the only one who became a blood servant?

Seeing Albrecht's "Am I the only clown" expression on his face, Yurst couldn't bear it.

He considered his tone and comforted:

"Lord Albrecht, not just anyone can become the True Ancestor's Blood Servant. Your ability to become the True Ancestor's Blood Servant is in a sense recognized by the True Ancestor."

Albrecht:…

"Bring the information and get out of here, you damn blood dependent!"

…

Albrecht left, and Charlotte also fell into deep thought:

"Those 'blood elves' on Moon God Island are actually connected to the Holy Royal Court. Could it be that... they are also involved in the Holy Royal Court?"

"It seems that we should really investigate it carefully."

At this moment, the maid Shirley suddenly came to report:

"Your Majesty, Lord Howard is here."

Charlotte's heart moved and she nodded:

"Invite him in."

After a while, Marquis Howard, the palace housekeeper, walked in.

"Her Majesty the Queen..."

He bowed respectfully to Charlotte, and then presented a document with both hands:

"This is the guest list prepared for tonight's Red Palace banquet. Please review it."

After hearing Marquis Howard's words, Charlotte remembered that there was a banquet today, which was specially hosted by the Fallen Star Noble to welcome her.

Of course, it was a banquet for negotiation. In addition to the parliamentary nobles, even the Lilac nobles who supported Duke Asia were invited.

However, the real die-hard Lilac faction nobles will definitely not come, including Duke Asia himself.

Charlotte took the paperwork and browsed it casually.

But soon, she discovered Hua Dian:

"Huh? The special envoy of the Crescent Kingdom... also come to the banquet?"
