Tome of Blood

"Hey, Lady Charlotte, we are all making progress! The Falling Star Magic Association is very interested in the cooperation you proposed. They are quite happy to get the support of the royal family and Castel's mithril resources to conduct magic research. Woolen cloth!"

Nice said cheerfully.

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"Where's the noble side?"

Nice chuckled:

"Hey, everything is going well over there. I know this group of people very well. If there is money to be made, of course they are willing to participate. Earl Stafford and I have slightly revealed our intention to cooperate. It is said that many families are very interested. , who doesn’t know that the alchemy industry in Falling Star Kingdom is the most profitable!”

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

"Lord Charlotte, how did you come up with this idea? Use the magic and alchemy industry to tie the Fallen Star Magic Association to our chariot, and at the same time draw the nobles over to drive together... drive what?"

"Magic and Alchemy Industry Company."

"Oh yes! Company! Winning nobles and vampires together to open a magic and alchemy industry company to form a community of interests, let the Fallen Star Kingdom and Castel join forces, tie the Fallen Star nobles and the Mage Association into a chariot and make money together... …Simply a genius idea!”

Nice looked admiringly.

Charlotte:…

She glanced sideways at Nice and shook her head:

"Okay, stop flattering me, and don't tell me that you didn't expect this method. Falling Star Kingdom's magic technology and alchemy industry have been developing rapidly in recent years. Many new nobles started their careers in alchemy workshops. If there is no shortage of mithril, Falling Star Kingdom’s alchemy business has already gone to the Siyonite Empire.”

"Hey Hey……"

Nice smiled coquettishly.

Combining Castel's advantages with those of Fallen Star Kingdom to develop the magic and alchemy industries is one of Charlotte's plans to make money.

Of course, making money is one aspect, technological innovation is one aspect, and strengthening strength is another aspect.

Charlotte's foundation is too weak. Even if she becomes the Queen of Falling Stars, the power she can rely on is very limited. The strength of the Dark Night Order is also far inferior to mainstream orders such as the Holy Royal Court.

With Advent approaching and the gods returning, Charlotte must gain strength as soon as possible.

Improving yourself is one thing, and improving your own power is also another aspect.

Charlotte has not yet become a god and needs to reserve her strength to deal with possible mythical enemies, so it is impossible to spend too much divine power to increase the power of her followers.

Although the strength of the Ness clan is not weak, Charlotte cannot rely solely on the vampire clan. The vampire clan's weaknesses are too obvious and can easily be targeted.

There must be another way.

Fighting in the north and south is not the first choice, and the growth of extraordinary people also takes time, so... the best thing is to start with equipment and upgrade the industry.

This is not something Charlotte imagined.

In fact, after traveling for so long and through many observations, Charlotte had already realized that the world of Miria was actually at a subtle point in time similar to the early Renaissance in Blue Star's history.

The power of religion is weakening, while the power of secularity is increasing. With the continuous improvement of magic array technology, the magic technology that has accumulated over the years has also been updated faster and faster. Various alchemy workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. …

Perhaps the most intuitive feeling for the residents of Miria is that magical alchemy props are becoming more and more common on the market. As long as you are a noble, you can buy one or two magic props to show off as luxury goods.

But for Charlotte, who has lived for two generations, she realizes that human civilization on the Miria continent may have reached a turning point in history. If it goes one step further... it may be similar to the industrial revolution on Blue Star.

Of course, in Miria, I'm afraid it can't be called the Industrial Revolution, but the Magical Revolution.

To be honest, Charlotte believed that she actually had no talent for running a country or inventing or trading.

She was an ordinary person before time travel, and most of the knowledge in her mind was returned to the teacher. Even after becoming a demigod, those forgotten memories were reawakened, and the knowledge she learned was completely different from other time travels. People invent and create like that.

But she doesn't have to.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and she doesn't need to think of herself as too smart. She just needs to make good use of her own advantages and take advantage of the situation to push forward.

Just like the innovation in magical alchemy technology, Charlotte has money and mines, and it is enough to recruit nobles and organizations with extraordinary power to join her.

Charlotte only needs to provide the assistance that the king can provide and grasp a general direction, and the rest can naturally be left to professionals to worry about.

"Well, this matter will be left to you. Just do it well. I hope that within ten years, Falling Star-Castle's magic products will be sold to every corner of the mainland."

Charlotte said to Nice.

Nice quickly patted his chest:

"Don't worry! Lady Charlotte, this matter will be taken care of by me!"

"Don't forget, there is also the development of new magic technology, don't stop at this."

"Hehehe, of course, this is my old profession! The Mage Association of Fallen Star Kingdom still has some things. According to your idea, there should be no problem in getting those things! There is no technical difficulty, it is just to reduce the cost."

Nice laughed.

After speaking, it hesitated and then said:

"But...Ms. Charlotte, are you sure you really want to try to take this path? Although I can't say for sure yet, I can almost predict that if it goes according to your idea, the magic technology will eventually become real." It will be widely spread.”

"Supernatural power is further spreading among ordinary people. Is this... really good?"

Charlotte glanced at it and smiled:

"What's wrong? This is the general trend. I just pushed it by the way to seize the initiative in advance."

"Do you want to take the initiative in advance..."

Ness mused.

"also……"

Charlotte paused and then said:

"I need you to continue pretending to be my substitute in the next few days."

"Pretending to be your substitute? Lady Charlotte, are you... planning to leave Luo Xing?"

Ness felt moved and asked.

Charlotte nodded:

"Well, I'm not worried about the northern border. I have to go there in person."

Nice nodded:

"I understand, don't worry! I'm here with Luo Xing, everything will be fine! If there is any problem, I will pray to you through the contract!"

…

This is a dark red world.

The sky is dark red, the earth is dark red, and even the castle standing on the hillside shows a deep dark red.

Countless black crows were flying in the air, screaming hoarsely, and circling around the castle complex. If Charlotte were here, she would find that the architectural style here is very similar to that of the Ness clan's residence.

In the center of the castle complex is a majestic palace.

The palace was also dark red, carved with ancient mythological murals and decorations, and at the top of the palace, a blood-red rose-like sign was shining with a faint red light.

That is the symbol of the Hortosh clan, one of the five major clans of the Vampire Clan, which controls the way of flesh and blood.

Suddenly, a bloody radiance bloomed, and a circular magic circle appeared in front of the palace.

After the violent space fluctuations, a figure in black robe walked out of the void.

Seeing the black shadow, the black-clothed blood servants standing guard in front of the palace saluted:

"Lady Sophia..."

The black shadow nodded slightly, and then walked straight into the palace.

In the center of the palace is a huge blood pool. Complex and mysterious magic lines are carved around the blood pool, extending continuously to all sides, almost wrapping the entire palace.

The viscous red liquid squirmed in the blood pool, as if it was alive. In the center of the blood pool, there was a tall altar, and a dark red statue of the god was placed on the altar.

The statue is also wearing a cloak, and the cloak is decorated with bloody roses. But if you look carefully, you will find that it should be a voluptuous female god.

In front of the blood pool, an old woman wearing a dark red robe was praying in a low voice.

Hearing the voice behind her, she stopped and looked at the visitor. Her old voice contained no emotion:

"Sophia, you're back, how are things going?"

Sophia took off her hood, revealing a moving face.

She looked at the huge pool of blood under the statue, first bowed slightly to the statue, and then looked at the woman:

"It's a little troublesome. The Grand Duke of the North doesn't completely trust us. He wants to introduce the power of the Queen of Gods to balance our influence in the North."

"The Queen of the Gods has extended her tentacles to the North. The gods behind her... have conquered the Neith blood descendants of the Falling Star Kingdom, and are now interested in things in the North. They may really be the Kirali clan. The prince."

"The Grand Duke of the North has promised the Free Tribe Alliance. The portrait of the true ancestor there cannot be lost. It is related to the Queen's grand plan. Our action plan... may have to change."

After listening to Sophia's report, the woman fell silent.

After a long time, she sighed:

"Her Majesty the Queen does not want us to directly attack the Free Tribe Alliance. Although we have taken a different path, there... after all, it was the hometown of his old man."

"In that case, please report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen. As Advent is approaching, it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain the ban. We don't have much time left. Even Her Majesty the Queen... I am afraid we must make a decision. ”

"Come with me."

With that said, the woman stood up and walked deeper into the palace.

Sofia took a deep breath and followed respectfully.

The two of them walked forward one by one and walked deep into the palace. After passing through a long corridor, they came to a closed palace door.

The palace gate is tall and gorgeous, decorated with complicated and mysterious patterns, exuding dark red light, and has a vast and mysterious aura.

The woman took a deep breath and bowed respectfully towards the palace door:

"Your Majesty, things have changed. We need to listen to your teachings..."

As she spoke, she repeated what Sophia had reported.

Dark red light flashed, and the surrounding magic lights were dim. As the woman read the Scarlet Queen's true name, a deep and vast aura... slowly descended.

The woman closed her eyes, and a little bit of light shone on her body, as if she was listening to the whisper of some majestic existence.

After a long time, the light disappeared, she opened her eyes again, and her expression returned to calm:

"The Queen has an order that all fragments of the old gods... cannot leave the North, including the lost statues of the True Ancestor."

"The plan remains unchanged, continue to execute it, and get all the fragments back as soon as possible, no matter... what price you pay!"

I've been having crotch strain for a few days, and it's coming next month. I hope I can straighten myself_(:з」∠)_
