Tome of Blood

"Escape quickly..."

"Hurry...escape..."

"Hurry...run away!"

The erratic voice is slow and slow. In addition to having exactly the same content, it seems to also contain rich emotions.

panic.

fear.

despair.

The great prophet Mago couldn't imagine what kind of huge crisis he encountered that would cause a myth to have such negative emotions as a mortal facing a natural disaster.

But the content of the oracle...she really heard it.

"Hurry...run away?"

Her expression was sluggish, and she was froze in place for a moment. Her entire back seemed to have hunched over in an instant, as if she had become much older.

Looking at the lost and dazed Great Prophet Margo, Charlotte sighed slightly, waved her hand and released a talent of magic to soothe the spirit, stabilizing the opponent's shaky soul.

She could understand the breakdown of Mago the Great Seer.

There is no doubt that the whispers that came into the consciousness of the two people after arriving here were the real oracles delivered by Scarlet Queen Rowena at the last moment of her consciousness.

First, he almost destroyed the clan because of his "ignorance", and now he suddenly discovered that he had been completely wrong about the meaning of belief in the gods from the beginning... For four hundred years, the great prophet Mago not only failed to achieve the purpose of awakening the gods, He even ran all the way on a road that was contrary to the gods oracles and almost ruined everything.

Any person favored by God would probably not be able to bear it after realizing this cruel truth.

but……

"Run away...?"

Charlotte mused.

She also didn't know what happened to Scarlet Queen Rowena.

However... the other party's desperate warning reminded her of Kexi, the stargazer of the Ness clan.

That was no coincidence. The cry for help coming from the depths of her consciousness behind the strange stone door was also full of panic similar to the Scarlet Queen's warning.

In addition, there is that weird white mist...

When Charlotte was purifying those high-level blood demons that had long since fallen, the white mist rising from their bodies gave Charlotte a very familiar feeling.

The same kindness, the same fatal attraction. It is undoubtedly the same as the white mist escaping around the strange stone door. Even the feedback after the Blood Sacred Scripture absorbs it is the same cheering and even affecting. On to Charlotte itself.

Apparently, it's the same thing that caused Cosey the Stargazer to "disappear" and Rowena the Scarlet Queen to go "crazy."

Not only that.

According to Charlotte's understanding, in the records of the blood clan, the "blood ancestor" seemed to have fallen into "madness".

Could it be...the same thing that caused Lilith to go "crazy" and even made her existence "disappear"?

Thinking of this, Charlotte's expression became more serious.

Divine power surged around her body, and she was ready to take action at any time.

"Let's go, He should be at the deepest level."

After closing her eyes for some perception, Charlotte said to the Great Prophet Margot.

The great prophet Mago was in despair.

But in the end, he steeled himself and followed Charlotte in silence.

The two of them walked towards the depths of the spiritual world.

As we go deeper, there are more and more corpses on the battlefield, and they are getting denser and denser, and the vague "warning" that has been lingering for a long time has become more and more clear.

"Escape quickly..."

"Escape quickly..."

"..."

Listening to the warning that seemed to ring in her ears, the great prophet Mago, who gradually calmed down, faintly became nervous again.

"Don't be so nervous. I didn't feel any fluctuations in the power of the soul. This should be a residual spiritual echo, not an immediate warning."

"Let's go, I can already feel the throbbing of my blood. We are... not far from Him."

Charlotte said.

After saying that, she sensed the guidance of her bloodline and quickened her pace.

The two of them continued to go deeper.

The surrounding corpses are getting denser and denser, and the "warning" sound from Scarlet Queen Rowena is getting closer and closer.

When the two came to the source of the "warning", what caught their eyes was a black tomb.

This tomb has an obvious Vampire style and is decorated with various demon sculptures. However, the most eye-catching thing is the original luxurious and exquisite rose symbol that is still visible even though it is mottled.

That is the symbol of Rowena, the Scarlet Queen.

Obviously, this tomb was prepared by Scarlet Rowena for herself, and it was the resting place for her soul in the spiritual world.

Full of energy, Charlotte goes to her grave.

The tomb was also dilapidated, and in the center of the tomb was a dilapidated coffin.

The coffin had long since rotted and was covered with layers of sarcoma.

But... there was no body inside.

The "warning" sound is close at hand.

But it didn't come from the coffin, but from behind the coffin.

Charlotte waved her hands, and the decaying coffin immediately dissipated, revealing the scene behind the coffin.

And when she saw clearly what was behind the coffin, her eyes froze.

Behind the coffin is a stone door.

The stone door was ancient and had a typical elf style. It was almost exactly the same as the stone door that Charlotte saw in the depths of consciousness that sealed "Stargazer Kexi".

The only difference is probably that what is carved on the stone door is not the astrological symbol representing the stargazer Kesi, but the bloody rose representing the Scarlet Queen Rowena.

A figure in a black dress was half-kneeling in front of the stone door.

The figure could be vaguely identified as a woman. Her body was covered with tumors and her facial features had been distorted. Her taut body tightly pressed against the stone door, and her hands were raised high, pressing against the stone door. The center seemed to be trying its best to prevent the stone door from being opened by someone from the inside.

Her eyes had long lost their sparkle, leaving only an empty shell, and her chin, which had long been mummified, kept trembling, repeating intermittent murmurs like obsession:

"Escape quickly..."

Charlotte's scalp suddenly went numb.

"Female... Your Majesty the Queen!"

Great Prophet Mago’s eyes widened.

She almost subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was quickly stopped by Charlotte sternly:

"stop!"

"True... Your Majesty the True Ancestor, that is Your Majesty the Queen!"

Great Prophet Mago said excitedly.

Charlotte took a deep breath and nodded:

"I know, but He...has fallen."

Great Prophet Mago opened her mouth, and her excited expression calmed down, replaced by pain and sadness.

Looking at the serious-looking Charlotte, she knelt down with a plop and prayed:

"My true... true ancestor! You... can you save your Majesty the Queen?!"

Charlotte was speechless for a moment.

She looked at Scarlet Queen Rowena, and after a moment, sighed:

"I told you, Rowena has fallen."

"We are now in his remaining spiritual world, no... more accurately, we should be in his remaining world of memories."

"What you see is not His true body, but His last remnants left in the assimilated corpse."

Great Prophet Mago still refuses to give up:

"But...but my true ancestor, as long as the gods are not forgotten, they will be immortal and can come back again, right?"

"I remember Her Majesty the Queen. Our Hortosh clan all remembers Her Majesty the Queen. Not only us, but many blood descendants from other clans also remember Her Majesty the Queen! We...can't reawaken Him!"

Charlotte was silent.

Her eyes fell on the stone door that Scarlet Queen Rowena was holding against, and she said:

"Margo, maybe what you said is right. As long as the gods are not forgotten, it is possible for them to return, but have you ever thought about whether the returning...is really the god you expected?"

"Rowina has been contaminated by some kind of power. What you see now is Rowena's remaining consciousness. So... have you ever thought about where Rowena's main consciousness went?"

After hearing Charlotte's words, the Great Prophet Mago was slightly stunned.

Charlotte no longer continued to explain.

To be honest, she didn't know the answers to these questions.

She had some vague guesses in her heart, but...it was just some guesses at this moment.

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at the strange stone door again.

"Stay away, I'm going to start sealing."

she said to Margot.

The Great Prophet Mago stepped back obediently.

Charlotte took a step forward and came to the stone door.

She closed her eyes, and the divine power surged around her body, and she once again used the innate magic she had used when she sealed the "help" stone door.

With the last seal, she became much more skilled this time. Crimson light bloomed around her, turning into complex and mysterious runes one after another, sealed on the stone door.

Soon, the white fog around Shimen gradually dissipated.

Layers of seals surround the stone gate.

In the light, Charlotte saw that the stone door gradually became illusory, and even the strange aura gradually weakened.

"Huh? Is this...disappearing?"

She frowned slightly, a little surprised.

But the next second, Charlotte froze.

In her perception, deep in her consciousness, in the sea of ​​crimson stars that symbolized the blood clan...

As the stone gate in front of us disappeared, the only huge star left in the sea of ​​​​stars represented the princes of the four major clans, or more accurately, the crimson star that represented Rowena, the scarlet queen of the Hortosh clan. , also suddenly began to change!

The red radiance burst like a bubble, and the illusory light also dissipated.

Charlotte was horrified to see that Shimen, who had just been in the Scarlet Queen's world of remnants, appeared in her spiritual world!

Just like the stone door that "asks for help".

"Wood grass?!"

She cursed almost subconsciously.

Charlotte twitched the corner of her mouth, and then quickly increased the output of her divine power. Like wrapping a rice dumpling, she used various kinds of forbidden magic to wrap up the second stone door that appeared in the sea of ​​crimson stars.

After making sure that she could no longer feel the strange aura of Shimen, her heart calmed down a little, but only a little.

After throwing the sealed stone door to the corner of the crimson sea of ​​stars, and dedicating a bit of mental power to monitor it like a stone door, she opened her eyes and returned to the world of Scarlet Queen Rowena's memories.

The stone door in the world of Cannian has completely disappeared, but Charlotte's mood is even more depressed.

What is this?

Luring the wolf into the house?

Or...is this also the truth about the huge light group representing Scarlet Queen Rowena?

Outrageous! There are five princes in the vampire clan, and there are five huge "stars" in the sea of ​​crimson stars. It can't be that the true appearance of each star is a strange stone door, right? !

Charlotte felt a little numb as she recalled the three huge stars left in her mind.

And at this moment, the Scarlet Queen's world of remnants suddenly changed again!

The golden light pierced the sky of the world of Cannian, illuminating the whole world like the dawn.

Wherever the light shines, those corpses quickly disintegrate, and green grass and flowers continue to spread...

In the blink of an eye, the entire cruel battlefield-like world of sorrow turned into a "wonderland" composed of blue sky, white clouds, green grass and flowers...

Looking at this rapid change, Charlotte's eyes moved slightly.

This is……

The Scarlet Queen's residual thoughts were successfully purified?

A breeze blew, carrying a faint fragrance of flowers.

Charlotte saw a young girl wearing a black and red skirt and armor appearing in front of her.

She has an illusory figure, long fiery red hair, and a heroic and beautiful face.

"Female... Your Majesty the Queen?!"

Great Prophet Mago's extremely excited voice came from behind.

Scarlet Queen... Rowena?

Charlotte's eyes narrowed.

The young girl slowly opened her eyes.

They were a pair of beautiful scarlet eyes, clear, translucent, and exceptionally agile.

Charlotte saw those eyes looking at her, and soon... they widened slightly.

She saw surprise on the other person's face, and that surprise was quickly replaced by joy from the bottom of her heart.

She saw the other party speaking softly, and the pleasant and illusive voice blended into the wind:

"Ah...it turns out it's you..."

"thank you……"

"Ancestor...Your Majesty..."

Charlotte saw the girl straighten her waist.

She stretched out her right hand and saluted respectfully.

The breeze blew by, and her illusory figure began to collapse and dissipate quickly like a bubble...

"Wait a minute! You..."

Charlotte reacted and quickly reached out to the girl.

But in the end, nothing was touched.

A trace of cracks spread in the sky, soon covering the entire sky, and then spreading to the entire world of remnants.

The next moment...the entire world of Cannian was shattered.

The vision reverses and Charlotte returns to reality.

She was still standing in the holy land of the Hortosh clan, in the long-collapsed Queen's Palace.

Mago, the great prophet of the Hortosh clan, who was in a trance, was standing behind her.

In front of them was the long-collapsed throne of Scarlet Queen Rowena.

On the ruins of the throne, the hideous monster has disappeared, leaving only a group of ashes like a flame...

Among the ashes, there was a bloody brilliance shining.

It was a crimson book.

The book was simple and thick, giving Charlotte a strong sense of déjà vu. There were several gilded words written on it in golden ancient elf writing——

"The Secret Book of Blood".
