Tome of Blood

Chapter 509 -8- Weaving Dreams

"Save the clansmen from the blood curse of the vampire clan?"

Charlotte mused.

After sorting out Sigurd's memories, combined with the existence of the Northland Restriction and all the information she had obtained before, Charlotte also had a clearer guess about the Scarlet Queen's purpose.

If her judgment was correct, Scarlet Queen Rowena probably wanted to completely resolve the blood curse of the Vampire Clan.

This is likely not only for the Hortosh clan, but also for Himself.

Perhaps... the restriction that hangs over the North is not only to suppress other myths that may enter the North, but also to suppress the Scarlet Queen's own bloodline.

In Sigurd's memory, the Queen's Palace has been collecting fragments of the old gods of Miria for thousands of years.

The fragments of the old gods contain the power of the old gods, and some are even simply fragments of the godhead.

Combining her own experience of becoming a demigod, Charlotte speculated that this might be Scarlet Queen Rowena trying to bypass the bloodline of the vampire clan and become a god in other ways.

After sorting out her thoughts, Charlotte also had a clearer understanding of the Hortosh clan as a whole.

However, there is another question that she can't figure out——

Since the Scarlet Queen Rowena is most likely trying to ascend to the True God in other ways, and is obviously suppressing the bloodline of the vampires, then... why did she personally issue an oracle and send this team to the Free Tribe Alliance to seize the blood-containing treasure? A faceless statue of divine power and related laws?

Moreover, according to the order Sigurd received, it was still "must" be obtained.

Or maybe the Faceless God has other uses for the Scarlet Queen?

Charlotte has no idea at the moment.

However, although she had no idea of ​​the Scarlet Queen's specific purpose, her next action plan became clearer.

"This vampire team is too weak. Now that I know their plan, their threat to the Free Tribe Alliance is relatively limited. In addition, Albrecht is also nearby. Sebastian only needs to give a warning. There should be no difficulty in recovering the Faceless God Idol and establishing religious ties with the Free Tribe Alliance.”

"The plan continues as usual. After successfully establishing faith contact, we will notify the Fallen Star Kingdom to assist the Free Tribe Alliance in migrating."

"As for this Hortosh team... I can handle it myself."

"But... I don't have to leave in a hurry. Horzosh's remaining power is much weaker than I thought. The Scarlet Queen Rowena didn't show up for three hundred years and only issued orders through the oracle. It's also a bit strange, maybe... I can take this opportunity to go deep into their 'holy land' to explore."

"Judging from the memories read, the Hortosh clan, which is far away from the disputes on the mainland, is relatively pure compared to other blood clans. Even in the rebellion of the major clans in history against the True Ancestor, they were not the main force. Not only that, this person The fear of the true ancestor's return in the memory of the vampires is much less than that of the vampires of the Ness clan. On the contrary... what they fear most is the blood curse of the vampires..."

"They are more wary than hostile towards the 'Prince' behind Falling Star Kingdom..."

"The attitudes of believers often come from the gods, and they are often more 'extreme' than the gods. This is the case with the Hortosh vampires, so... Scarlet Queen Rowena herself is probably not incapable of communication."

"Perhaps, while exploring the specific situation of the Hortosh clan, I can even try to pay a visit as a Luo Xing official..."

"Of course, the premise is to hide the divine power of your blood, change the aura of blood power, and make yourself a favored person of the prince."

Charlotte thought.

This idea is somewhat bold.

But considering that the Scarlet Queen Rowena did not appear directly for three hundred years and that the attention to the Hortosh clan was not as high as she thought, Charlotte felt that this idea was quite feasible.

She had a vague hunch that maybe... from the Hortosh clan, she could learn some information about the split of the blood clan back then, and she might even be able to investigate the truth behind Lilith's "disappearance".

Furthermore...she might even meet the Scarlet Queen Rowena herself.

Among them, the biggest risk is that the identity is exposed.

But considering that the Scarlet Queen is likely to be deliberately suppressing the power of her own bloodline, and her sensitivity to the bloodline of the Vampire Clan is bound to drop significantly, Charlotte feels that this risk is still controllable.

The Scarlet Queen is a demigod, and she is also a demigod. Even if communication is not smooth, she can still run away.

And if the Scarlet Queen has not appeared for three hundred years because there is something wrong with herself, or if Charlotte's own power can completely suppress the other party, maybe... it is not impossible to take this opportunity to subdue the Hortosh clan.

After all, judging from the read memories, except for the Scarlet Queen Rowena, the mysterious clan of Hortosh may even have less power to directly mobilize than the Ness clan.

Of course, the idea is wonderful, but in actual implementation, Charlotte also feels that the possibility is very small.

There must be some reason why the Hortosh clan rejects the blood curse so much that she doesn't know. Even if she really wants to conquer the Hortosh clan, maybe... Charlotte has to figure out the Hortosh clan first. The real reason why it became what it is now.

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at the unconscious vampire in front of her again.

She didn't dare to act rashly before because she was worried about attracting the Scarlet Queen's attention. Now that she knows that the Scarlet Queen has been inactive for three hundred years, Charlotte is much bolder.

After pondering for a while, she used her magic power and cast a transformation talent magic, transforming into Sigurd's appearance, and then walked swaggering towards the vampire camp.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

Looking at "Sigurd" who returned, Sophia frowned slightly.

She was about to reprimand, but suddenly saw "Sigurd"'s eyes turn into red gold.

Sophia was slightly startled.

Before she could say anything, a strong feeling of sleepiness came over her...

Soon, she also died along with Sigurd.

After a few breaths...

Looking at a large group of vampires lying on the ground, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

The Scarlet Queen really didn't attract much attention anymore. Even though she "fainted" so many vampires at once, she didn't attract their attention.

Of course, this may also be because Charlotte did not forcefully control their minds and leave a mark on their souls. At the same time, she also tried to avoid the bloodlines of these vampires, neither inducing nor exploring the bloodline power in them.

Looking at the vampire lying on the ground, Charlotte fell into deep thought.

It is definitely unrealistic to let these vampires go to the Free Tribe Alliance.

It would be troublesome if they knew that their purpose was to establish a religious connection with the Free Tribe Alliance. These vampires obviously knew who the Free Tribe Alliance believed in, and it was almost obvious that they were told that they were the True Ancestors of Blood.

It is strange to say that these vampires clearly know that the Free Tribe Alliance worships the "True Ancestor of Blood", but someone in the Free Tribe Alliance awakened the "Totem Power", but it did not arouse their suspicion about the "Return of the True Ancestor".

If Sigurd hadn't been unable to distinguish between the "true ancestor" and the "original ancestor" in his memory, Charlotte would have thought that the Hortosh clan could tell the difference between her and Lilith.

To be on the safe side, Charlotte actually didn't want to directly conflict with these vampires.

Now that it was confirmed that the Scarlet Queen did not pay as much attention to these vampires as she thought, Charlotte felt that she might try the power of "dreams" and weave an illusory dream for these vampires.

Thinking of this, Charlotte sank into consciousness and activated the Blood Scripture.

Inspired by the divine power of blood, she further strengthened her [divine counterattack] ability and was prepared for external forces to intervene at any time. Then she activated her divine power and opened up her spiritual world.

Powerful spiritual power spread, wrapping these vampires in it. Charlotte connected to their consciousness and pulled everyone into her own spiritual world...

…

Sophia had a dream.

In the dream, she led the palace guards to perform a mission in the Alliance of Free Tribes. However, when they were stationed for a rest, they were suddenly attacked by a mysterious force, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Sophia woke up in vain and broke into a cold sweat.

Looking around, the woods were still quiet, and the palace guards who had followed her out of the Holy Land were soundly asleep.

Sophia frowned slightly, but she didn't feel anything was wrong.

Looking at the kingdom guards sleeping like dead pigs, she darkened her face and shouted softly:

"Don't sleep! Don't sleep! We are very close to the target. Do you want the other party to discover our whereabouts?"

"Everyone, get up! It's time for us to move on!"

After listening to Sophia's words, the palace guards woke up one after another.

They yawned, patted their butts and stood up, then continued to follow Sophia in the direction of the Free Tribe Alliance.

The group's operation went smoothly.

According to the plan, they put on the clothes of the northern residents and successfully blended into the Free Tribe Alliance's station.

The guards of these tribes did not realize their identities. They easily passed the inspection and entered the depths of the northern canyon.

Following the information provided by the Great Prophet, they quickly located the temple where the Free Tribe Alliance enshrined the statue and successfully sneaked in.

In line with the information they obtained, the statue the Queen needed was enshrined on the altar in the center of the temple.

They lured the tiger away from the mountain, leading the warriors guarding the temple to leave the altar, and then successfully obtained the True Ancestor Statue before the messenger from the Fallen Star Kingdom arrived.

However, just when they successfully retreated and left the Free Tribe Alliance to return to the Holy Land, they were stopped by a mysterious transcendent.

That was an extraordinary person whose strength far surpassed that of Blazing Sun.

Sophia's team was no match for her, and even the statue they captured was taken by the other side.

Under the astonishing magic power and mental pressure of the powerful transcendent, the blood descendants of Hortosh felt their brains swelled and they felt drowsy. Even the magic power in their bodies was imprisoned, and they fell to the ground one after another.

And just when everyone was desperate, thinking that the mission would fail and they would be killed, the extraordinary beings who blocked them did not attack them.

The mysterious extraordinary person suddenly relaxed the suppression of his power, and the vampires also woke up one after another, regaining consciousness as if they were awakening from a big dream.

They opened their eyes and looked at the mysterious transcendent person in front of them, who was completely hidden under a black cloak, with surprise and uncertainty, completely unaware that what they had just experienced was just a dream.

"I have no intention of being an enemy of everyone in Hortosh. If you can meet my conditions, I can give you the statues you want with both hands."

The mysterious supernatural being said.

Sophia's eyes narrowed slightly.

She rubbed her temples and asked warily:

"Who...are you? What conditions do you want?"

The mysterious supernatural being removes his hood.

Under the hood, there is a young and beautiful face, with golden hair shining like silk, and blue pupils like the pure sky.

Looking at the appearance that was exactly the same as the one on the scroll obtained by the clan, Sophia's expression changed slightly:

"You are...Charlotte, Queen of the Gods!"

Looking at the vampires who suddenly became nervous, Charlotte smiled slightly.

She held up the hem of her skirt, performed an elegant aristocratic courtesy, and then said gently:

"Introduce yourself, my name is Charlotte de Castel."

"The Queen of the Fallen Star, the Lord of Castel, the Agent of the Dark Night and the Contractor of the Ness Clan..."

"On behalf of my Lord's will, I come to visit the Hortosh clan to discuss matters related to the Holy Advent."
