Tome of Blood

The last oracle?

Sophia was slightly startled.

Seeing the solemn and firm expression of the great prophet Mago, her heart moved slightly and she couldn't help but ask:

"Master Great Prophet, is it... related to the future of our clan?"

Great Prophet Mago withdrew her gaze and remained noncommittal:

"You'll know in three days. Now...get ready."

"In addition, the passage in and out of the Holy Land will continue to be closed. It will not be opened in the near future without my order."

Sophia hesitated to speak.

Her hesitant expression was caught in the eyes of the Great Prophet.

"Sofia, do you have any questions?"

Great Prophet Mago sighed softly and asked.

Sophia hesitated for a moment and answered honestly:

"Yes... I have some questions."

"Great Prophet, after waking up, I... heard some rumors. These rumors seemed to originate from those ethnic groups and blood servants who were lucky enough not to be affected by the disaster..."

"There are rumors that the one who saved us... His Majesty..."

"He is none other than the one in history who brought curses to the clan and destruction to the blood clan..."

"There are also rumors that you have decided to abandon your past beliefs and lead your clan to follow Him again."

"I didn't quite believe it before, but after communicating with you, I...I..."

"Great Prophet, may I ask these rumors... are they true?"

Great Prophet Mago looked at her deeply:

"What would you do if it were true?"

Sophia was silent.

Her expression changed for a while, and finally she sighed:

"To be honest, although all the major clans are extremely taboo about the name of that person, they even regard that person as the source of all disasters..."

"But...but that is our ancestor after all, the mother of all vampires."

"Her Majesty the Queen has not denied the crimes committed by that one, but equally, she has never denied the greatness of that one."

"If...if it is really the oracle from the Queen...I am willing..."

The Great Prophet shook his head:

"Sofia, I know what you are worried about."

"Indeed, that great being created the Vampire Clan, but it also brought horrific disasters to the Vampire Clan, and even eventually caused a joint resistance by the princes and princes, and disappeared after the God War..."

"But, don't worry."

Having said this, the great prophet's eyes were somewhat nostalgic:

"You are all very young and have not witnessed the golden age when the vampire led the vampires to sweep across the continent..."

"But I have experienced it."

"If the fall and division after a thousand years of chaos were a horrific disaster, then... that era full of myths and legends was a magnificent epic belonging to our blood race."

"It was a magnificent era. In that era, all the vampires were proud of their identities. This pride even continues to this day. Even if they are feared by everyone, the vampires are still the most elegant nobles of the night... …”

"Yesterday, when that person stepped forward to turn the tide, the back I saw was not the one deep in my memory that frightened all vampires."

"On the contrary, it looks like the back of our vampire clan when it rose up and led our clan to its peak..."

"It's strange. They are both crown princes of the True Ancestor, but they give people completely different feelings. It's as if... it's as if there were two crown princes of the True Ancestor."

"But the only thing that is certain is that, just as you guessed, it is indeed the ancestor of the blood race, the true ancestor of the blood race, the supreme true ancestor!"

"No……"

"In other words, the one who returned is not the true ancestor who was lost in power in his later years and fell into madness."

"And I'm afraid it's... the True Ancestor Mian who has successfully escaped from the confusion and regained his rationality!"

"Your Majesty, the True Ancestor, has regained his sanity again..."

After listening to the words of the great prophet Mago, Sophia's eyes widened, as if she had some realization.

She took a deep breath and saluted the Great Prophet:

"Great Prophet, I understand."

After the report, Sophia respectfully resigned.

The Great Prophet Mago breathed a sigh of relief, and her originally stiff expression seemed to relax because she had successfully convinced the other party.

Taking a deep breath, she straightened her clothes, walked out of the side hall, and walked towards the seemingly heavily guarded castle with a demon standing guard not far away...

…

"How is it? It seems that your persuasion work is going well?"

In the castle, Charlotte, who was sitting on the throne, was playing with a crimson book and looking at the great prophet of the Hortosh clan with a smile on her face.

She has returned to her original self.

However, for the great prophet who has seen the "transformation" process of the true ancestor, there is no difference.

After hearing Charlotte's teasing, the Great Prophet Margot was a little embarrassed.

She bowed respectfully to Charlotte, and then said with a wry smile:

"Sure enough, everything...can't be hidden from your sight."

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, please understand that many vampires have shadows about the past thousands of years ago... so... I can only indirectly persuade everyone in this way."

"However, please don't worry! I, Hortosh, did not participate in the siege of Kirali like other clans. Most of the clansmen who had a psychological shadow on you have also lost their memory. In addition, the god under the queen's crown Order, convincing everyone to surrender... is not a problem!"

"Three days, only three days! I have instructed many blood servants to secretly announce your return. With psychological preparation, coupled with the last oracle from the queen, Hortosh... will come again Be your loyal servant from the bottom of my heart.”

"Please believe that everyone... will accept it. After all, this is also the last order from the Queen."

Looking at the reserved look of Great Prophet Mago, Charlotte shook her head:

"You don't need to be nervous. As you said to Sophia, I am not the evil and chaotic True Ancestor in your memory, so...you don't have to worry about offending me."

"Although you are trying to convince the tribe on the grounds that I have regained my sanity, in my opinion... it is not wrong in a certain sense."

Having said this, Charlotte touched her chin and suddenly changed the subject:

"But...I'm actually curious about one thing."

She looked at the Great Prophet Mago, and her eyes suddenly became dark. Under the surge of divine power, there was a faint light flowing in the scarlet pupils:

"Do you... really think there are two true ancestors?"

Great Prophet Mago was slightly startled.

Her eyes were a little dazed, and she said almost subconsciously:

"Of course not, I... just want to convince the tribe in this way."

silence……

The light in Charlotte's eyes faded, and the Great Prophet's gaze returned to normal.

She did not realize that she had just been affected by divine power, but continued:

"In addition...the clan's loss report has also been issued, please take a look."

With that said, she respectfully presented the parchment.

Charlotte took it casually.

Although she had almost understood the current situation through "peeping", when she saw clearly the loss of 120 million Quintana, she still couldn't help but feel a little twitching in her stomach.

One hundred and twenty million!

Not twelve million!

This is a huge amount of money! A huge sum of money!

On the continent of Miria, it is comparable to the financial revenue of Fallen Star Kingdom for ten years!

Then...it was gone immediately!

Charlotte regretted it.

She wondered whether she should have taken action earlier, or not let the "monster" appear at all.

After all, now that Hortosh has surrendered to her, Hortosh's wealth can also be indirectly regarded as a resource that she can mobilize!

The Vampire society is inherently hierarchical, and most of the wealth of the Vampire clans is mainly in the hands of the senior leaders of ruling organizations such as the Council of Elders or the Queen's Palace.

After conquering Hortosh, she became the master of the Queen's Palace.

Rounding it off, it’s equivalent to throwing away 120 million yuan just to show off!

Apart from anything else, if she can get the 120 million yuan, it will be more than enough as a start-up capital for the integration of Falling Star Kingdom and the development of the magic industry!

Seeing Charlotte's silence, the Great Prophet Margot cleared her throat and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, you are quite lucky. Although many magic circles and buildings were destroyed, the overall loss was not great. If converted into Miria currency, it is only 120 million quintana."

"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't taken action in time, I'm afraid the clan would have lost more than this."

Charlotte:...?

She took a breath and subconsciously sat upright:

"Only...only?"

The Great Prophet hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"Yes, that's all. Of course... we have to rule out the restrictions left by the Queen."

"However, for you, the ban... shouldn't be important anymore, right?"

Charlotte was silent.

She suddenly realized a problem.

It is true that due to the rampage and mutation of the bloodline, the internal decline of Hortosh was even more outrageous than that of the Nes clan.

But the reasons for the decline of the two clans were fundamentally different.

The Ness clan was brought down by the Star-Moon War. In order to support the Fallen Star Royal Family in winning the Star-Moon War, the Ness clan spent a lot of money to go to war with the Crescent Kingdom, or to be more precise, with the Holy Royal Court's support. The Crescent Royal Family goes to war.

Later, the Ness clan was defeated, and the Fallen Star nobles and the Holy Royal Court overthrew the Blood Palace behind the scenes. They were directly driven out of the center of power of Fallen Star, and many properties were seized by the church and nobles.

In other words... the Nes clan's overall strength has declined, and its family fortune has almost been lost.

But the Hortosh clan is different.

The Hortosh clan has been living in seclusion in another space and has not participated in the disputes on the mainland at all. In fact, it has still retained the huge wealth accumulated during its peak period.

Their weakness is also internal weakness.

Not only that, the depravity of those high-level vampires caused their own wealth to be confiscated, and further concentrated in the Queen's Palace of the Hortosh clan. Over time... Although the strength of the Hortosh clan is not strong, its wealth is …I’m afraid it hasn’t decreased much.

Not only that, the Queen's Palace, as the center of rule, may even be richer than when the entire clan migrated!

hiss……

Charlotte leaned back subconsciously.

"Your Excellency Margot, now...approximately how much funds can the Queen's Palace mobilize?"

She calmed down and asked.

Great Prophet Mago thought for a moment and replied:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, if you exclude the cost of rebuilding the Holy Land and settling the Awakened Races, and convert it into common currency, there should be nearly 1.4 billion quintana."

"Of course, nearly half of them are priceless extraordinary materials that are actually not suitable to be measured with money, and... there are also some extraordinary items that are difficult to be measured with money."

Charlotte:…

Grass, a plant.

Seeing Charlotte's silence, the Great Prophet felt as if he had caught something.

She thought for a while and asked respectfully and carefully:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, could it be that... do you need money?"

Charlotte felt uncomfortable.

Although as the lord of Castel, she is already considered wealthy, but there are still people outside the world.

Compared with an ancient force like Hall Measures that has accumulated for nearly two thousand years, the Castel Territory, which has only a few hundred years of history and is only a mere earl, is not worth mentioning.

Falling Star Kingdom is not enough!

Of course, this excludes artifacts and high-level magic weapons.

For powerful forces like the Hall Measures Clan and the Ness Clan, money is an external possession, and inestimable artifacts are the foundation for suppressing the clans.

But for her status in the secular world, this amazing wealth... was just right.

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte said calmly:

"Well, I do need some funds."

"As you know, my other identity is the Queen of Falling Stars. In the current situation, the vampires can only operate in the shadows. What they can rely on on the bright side depends on the secular forces of the human world."

"You should also know that I plan to build my own faith...Whether it is due to the need to spread the faith or to strengthen my influence in the secular world, it will require a lot of expenditure."

After listening to Charlotte's words, Great Prophet Mago nodded:

"I understand. I will make arrangements to prepare corresponding funds for your activities in the Miria continent..."

terrific!

Charlotte's mood suddenly became happy.

"but……"

Great Prophet Mago hesitated for a moment and then said:

"We didn't find the faceless god and cursed pages you needed."

"The clan did collect a lot of cursed pages before, as well as three faceless statues of gods, but those things... are originally items with the power of gods. During the ceremony, we used them as sacrifices for the ascension ceremony. Sacrifice.”

"After the ritual failed, all the sacrifices disappeared along with the Queen's complete fall..."

"I think... maybe they have also been destroyed with the fall of the queen."

After hearing the words of the great prophet, Charlotte shook her head slightly. She glanced at the crimson book in her hand, smiled and said:

"Things with divine power will not be damaged so easily."

"However, you don't have to continue looking for them. I already know where they have gone."
