Tome of Blood

Like passing through a layer of transparent fluid, slight repulsion came from all directions, gentle and breathless.

Charlotte's field of vision was instantly covered by the vast whiteness, and her external perception was also cut off in an instant.

As if crossing a certain void boundary, in the blink of an eye, the severed perception was connected again, and Charlotte's vision gradually became stained with a layer of crimson.

This is a vast land.

The mountains are rolling, guarding the towering castles, and are surrounded by dense forests that extend to infinity.

In the center of the castle complex is a tall palace. A crimson light pillar connects the palace to the sky, illuminating the entire world.

The red color is radiant, the sky, the earth, the trees, the castle... all show different colors of dark red, giving people a deep and mysterious feeling.

The place where Charlotte and others appeared was just outside the palace gate in the center of the castle complex.

"Your Majesty Charlotte, please wait here for a moment. I will report to the Great Prophet first."

Sofia bowed to Charlotte and said.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

Sofia turned around and entered the palace, while Charlotte looked around curiously and couldn't wait to concentrate on sensing.

The moment she arrived here, she felt a strong throbbing coming from the Blood Scripture deep in her consciousness, and felt some kind of strong attraction.

That kind of attraction is everywhere, and if you feel it carefully, you will find that it comes from all directions.

At the same time, Charlotte's bloodline was also touched. She keenly sensed the breath of thousands of vampires. These breaths were distributed throughout the castle complex, and in the mountains outside the castle complex, the same There is a distant breath sensor coming from afar.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly. She separated a ray of consciousness and sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, summoning the crimson sea of ​​​​stars representing the blood descendants. Then she found that the vampires of the Hortosh clan, which were originally vague and difficult to locate, were finally able to locate them. .

They... are located in this dark red alien space. From a rough perception, there are about seven or eight thousand people, about half of whom are concentrated in the castle group, and the rest are distributed among the mountains in the distance.

In addition to the seven or eight thousand vampires that Charlotte can clearly perceive, there are also some vague stars. These stars are not there, but if you perceive them carefully, you can locate them. They should be some vampires who are still sleeping.

Charlotte felt it a little bit. The total number of clear stars plus fuzzy stars was about thirteen thousand. This should be all the vampires of the Hortosh clan in the "Holy Land".

In addition to these vampires in the "Holy Land", plus those vampires who maintain the northern ban under the outer temple that Charlotte sensed just before entering the "Holy Land", the members of the Hortosh clan will not exceed 14,000 people.

But this is not the big part of Charlotte’s bloodline induction.

In Charlotte's sense, the place where the blood sense is strongest is underneath the castle complex.

Or to be more precise, it should be the "underground" of the castle complex.

This part of the bloodline induction is somewhat special. In addition to the rhythm of the bloodline, Charlotte also vaguely felt something similar to the chaos when Sigurd's bloodline went berserk, as well as the huge attraction acting on the bloodline.

Especially the blood scripture deep in her consciousness throbbed the most intensely.

This is also the main source of attraction that Charlotte feels, that feeling... as if these sources of bloodline induction are an excellent tonic for the Blood Scripture.

This made Charlotte's heart move slightly.

In Sigurd's memory she read, it was said that the Hortosh clan would kill the "fallen vampires" and seal or bury their bodies together. Could it be that... these unique rhythms come from the "fallen blood clan"? The grave of the "blood clan"?

This is not impossible. When a vampire dies, the power of the bloodline will escape. If the Hortosh clan cannot "purify" the "fallen power" of the fallen vampire, then even if it kills it, it can only seal those "powers" .

"The power of pollution that the Hortosh clan is afraid of is actually a tonic for the Blood Sacred Scripture. Maybe... I can find an opportunity to explore the underground of the Hortosh Holy Land."

Charlotte thought so.

Of course, although her heart was filled with excitement about the blood scripture, Charlotte still clearly knew where this place was.

This is the holy land of Hortosh and the territory of the Blood Prince Scarlet Queen Rowena. Even if she wants to cause trouble here, she must first complete the meeting with Rowena.

However, what surprised Charlotte was that after further blood induction, she did not sense the existence of Scarlet Queen Rowena.

Although the huge star representing the other party was also in Charlotte's consciousness space, and still exuded a brilliance that blinded people's eyes, Charlotte did not feel the same throbbing as other stars.

This discovery surprised Charlotte.

From the memory read by Sigurd, the Scarlet Queen Rowena has been "retreating" deep in the Queen's Palace.

In other words, Rowena should always be in the Holy Land.

But Charlotte could even sense the breath of those sleeping vampires, but she couldn't sense the breath of the Scarlet Queen.

This is thought-provoking.

There may be two reasons that Charlotte can think of.

This shows that either Rowena's strength has far surpassed Charlotte's, and when he deliberately covered his aura, Charlotte couldn't sense his presence at all.

Either... the memory she read was wrong, or Sigurd's knowledge was also inaccurate. Scarlet Queen Rowena was not in the "Holy Land".

This is not impossible, after all... She has learned from the team members of the Hortosh clan that the Scarlet Queen Rowena has not appeared directly for almost three hundred years.

Charlotte didn't know which possibility it was.

But no matter which one... to be honest, it's not what she wants to see.

Especially the second possibility.

Maybe it was a sequelae brought about by Kesi, the stargazer. She would always think of the stone door that appeared after the light group representing Kesi lost its "disguise", and the strange cry for help coming from behind the stone door.

"Perhaps... I can test it after meeting the speaker of the Hortosh clan."

Charlotte thought in her mind.

And just as Charlotte was thinking about what to do next, the palace door suddenly opened.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she looked towards the palace door, and saw Sofia walking out followed by an old woman.

The old woman performed an ancient vampire etiquette to Charlotte, and then smiled:

"The Saint of the God of Creation, the descendant of Kirali of the Royal Clan, the Queen of the Fallen Star and the Lord of Castel... Her Majesty Charlotte de Castel——"

"I am Mago Hortosh, the great prophet of the Hortosh clan. I welcome your visit."

legend……

Feeling the strong aura on the old woman's body, Charlotte's expression became serious.

But soon, she realized that there was something wrong with the other person's title.

etc……

The saintly daughter of the Creator God, and... a descendant of Kirari?
