Tome of Blood

"Your Majesty True Ancestor, have you... found those magical items?"

Great Prophet Mago asked respectfully and curiously.

Charlotte did not answer directly, but picked up the crimson book in her arms.

"This...this is..."

Margo's eyes narrowed.

"This is what was dropped after defeating the monster yesterday. It is an artifact in the process of being formed."

Charlotte said.

As she spoke, she gently opened the book.

I saw Charlotte gently tearing off a page, and a crimson light suddenly bloomed.

In the astonished eyes of the great prophet, the torn page suddenly changed and turned into an illusory ball of light.

The light group was misty and uncertain, and an illusory statue phantom was faintly visible behind it.

The phantom was looming, and the great prophet Mago quickly recognized it. It was one of the divine items she had used as a sacrifice for the ascension ceremony.

Her eyes widened immediately:

"Is it...this book? The sacred objects that were sacrificed were refined into this book?!"

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"exactly."

"Although Rowena's ascension ceremony failed, it was not fruitless. The result... is this Secret Book of Blood."

"If I am not mistaken, his original plan was probably not to directly ascend to the gods, but to refine an artifact that can suppress the power of the curse... and use this artifact to assist him in ascending to the gods."

"Of course... He failed in the end, and the 'artifact' he refined was also preserved in this semi-finished form."

Great Prophet Mago's heart moved:

"So...so all those divine items did not disappear, but merged together, and their power entered this book?"

Charlotte nodded:

"You can think so."

After saying that, she tore off a page again, and there was another burst of crimson light, and another shadow appeared in her hand:

"Those items... were indeed damaged, but the source of their power has not disappeared. Instead, they have returned to their original posture, or in other words, the appearance of divine power."

"This 'Secret Book of Blood'... is composed of such divine power."

After saying that, Charlotte's hands burst into light again.

The crimson secret book of blood suddenly collapsed, turning into illusory pages. The pages kept changing, eventually forming illusory "gods" of different shapes.

They revolve around Charlotte, and among them are the cursed pages and faceless gods in the possession of the Hortosh clan.

Not only that, in addition to the curse book and the faceless statue, there are also three divine items that emit dark red light.

These three magical items look far more solid than other items. They are a cloak, a rose badge, and an orb.

"This... these are... the three artifacts of the female crown!"

Great Prophet Mago’s eyes suddenly widened.

As she spoke, she looked stunned and murmured to herself:

"No wonder I can't find it... So they were also used as ritual items by Her Majesty the Queen? Are they... also damaged?"

Charlotte nodded:

"That's right, all of Rowena's artifacts, as well as all the magical items you collected, were all destroyed, or rather... melted."

After saying that, she looked at the Great Prophet Mago:

"So...there is no need to look for those magical items anymore."

"All the magical items are actually here."

The great prophet Mago finally realized.

She looked at the light groups in Charlotte's hands that represented different divine powers, and couldn't help but ask:

"My True Ancestor... You said, you said the artifact is in the process of being formed, so that means... Your Majesty the Queen failed?"

Charlotte sighed slightly:

"certainly."

"I can roughly guess what he wants to build, but unfortunately... with his power, the best he can create is this kind of semi-finished product that breaks at the touch of a touch."

"It must be because of this reason that He failed to ascend to God."

After saying that, she slightly closed her palms, and the illusory light group floating in the air suddenly gathered and turned into the Secret Book of Blood again.

After sighing, Charlotte said:

"Margo, I'm going to meditate for a few days. During this period... if there's nothing important, don't disturb me."

"The announcement after three days can be carried out according to your own plan. Although I will not show up, I will pay attention to everything secretly."

"If there is nothing else, you...can retreat."

…

After the great prophet Mago reported the damage to the Holy Land, he withdrew.

The door of the castle was closed, the crimson light spread, and Charlotte used the power of blood to open a magic barrier, isolating the inside and outside.

Then, she looked at the Book of Blood in her hand again, or rather... the "Book of Blood" imitated by the Scarlet Queen.

That's right, the imitation "Bible of Blood".

After preliminary exploration of the "Secret Book of Blood" and analysis of its composition, Charlotte was very sure that this book was intended to imitate the "Sacred Book of Blood".

Unfortunately, something went wrong during the refining process. Apart from the similarity in appearance, this "Secret Book of Blood" is not even remotely similar to the "Holy Book of Blood" in terms of power.

No, it cannot be said that there is no similarity at all.

In Charlotte's perception, the divine power and laws of this "Secret Book of Blood" are very close to the Holy Book of Blood. At least... the moment she got it, she could feel the "Sacred Book of Blood" "The desire.

That is the desire to supplement "power" and "law".

This is not only because this book contains fragments of the Blood Scripture, but also because it transforms all the forged divine power and laws into the Blood Scripture.

In other words, Scarlet Queen Rowena is probably trying to use those cursed pages as a model and those various divine items as materials to "complete" the Blood Sacred Book.

As for why Rowena wanted to "build" the Blood Sacred Book... based on her experiences in the past few days, Charlotte had a pretty good guess.

"Unlike other blood clans, the blood curse of the Hortosh clan is no longer just a regular blood curse of the blood clan, but incorporates some other powers."

"That kind of power... is probably the same as the white mist behind the strange stone door."

"The fact that I can use the power of the Holy Scripture to purify the 'curse' on them is also proof. That feeling... is very similar to when I used the Holy Scripture to absorb the white mist escaping from the stone gate."

"Obviously, the Blood Sacred Scripture can suppress that kind of power. Scarlet Queen Rowena may also know this, so... she wants to 'imitation' of the Blood Sacred Scripture."

"But... what is that white mist? And how did the Hortosh clan get involved with that kind of power?"

"Is the 'disappearance' of Stargazer Cosey... also related to this?"

"No, it's not just Kesi the Stargazer. Regarding the True Ancestor of Blood, the Hortosh clan has relatively detailed records. Although like other blood clans, they seem to have completely forgotten the existence of Lilith, but in Haoerzoshi However, the records of the Ertoshi clan mentioned——"

"The True Ancestor of Blood... once fell into madness..."

"The True Ancestor of Blood here is probably Lilith. Why is she crazy? Is her madness... also related to the power that caused the Hortosh clan to go crazy?"

Charlotte couldn't figure out the result.

There is no way, the information she has now is still too little.

The white mist was too weird. Even though the Blood Sacred Scripture had the ability to suppress and absorb it, her keen spiritual sense told her that that kind of thing... was very dangerous.

The last time she had a similar feeling was even at the beginning of time travel, when she faced her "old witch" grandmother.

"Absorb this 'Secret Book of Blood' first. Since it has the same power as the Holy Book of Blood, it can just supplement the power and laws of the Holy Book of Blood."

Charlotte said to herself.

The Blood Sacred Scripture is her biggest trump card. Since it is a semi-finished product that imitates the Blood Sacred Scripture, there is no need for it to continue to exist. It can be used as nourishment for the Sacred Scripture.

Not only that, the divine power contained in this semi-finished product is real. Although Charlotte pretended to be powerful this time, the consumption of divine power was also terrifying.

Although she has accumulated considerable divine power now, she still does not have a stable source of divine power. Believers can provide it indirectly, but it is still too little.

This is the disadvantage of becoming a monk halfway.

Charlotte still hasn't figured out how other demigods supplement their divine power besides relying on believers.

From an efficient perspective, she can only "capture" and "absorb" divine power through relatively crude methods.

It can be regarded as the unique ability of "Vampire Myth".

The "Secret Book of Blood" contains a lot of divine power, and after absorbing it, it just replenishes her divine power.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's hands flickered with light, and her divine power began to circulate again.

She used the vampire's innate "devouring" ability.

An illusory book appeared in the palm of her other hand.

That book is thicker, more gorgeous, and even the breath is deeper.

That is the projection of the Blood Sacred Scripture.

The moment the Blood Sacred Scripture projection appeared, the Blood Sacred Scripture in Charlotte's hand seemed to sense the magnet of another magnet, and had the urge to fly up and rush over to merge into one.

Charlotte didn't stop.

The crimson light flashed, and the "Blood Book" quickly "melted" and turned into a golden-red energy, blending into the shadow of the Blood Book.

In Charlotte's perception, she only felt that the Blood Sacred Book deep in her consciousness was quickly opened, and brand-new pages appeared in it one after another.

Its aura keeps rising, getting deeper and deeper.

At the same time, Charlotte also felt a pure divine power fed back into her body from the Blood Sacred Scripture.

That is the divine power absorbed by the Secret Book of Blood.

These mixed divine powers were absorbed and purified by the Blood Sacred Scripture, turning into the purest divine power of blood.

In the blink of an eye, the divine power she had consumed in the previous battle had been replenished, and even on top of that, the reserve of divine power was much higher.

If her previous divine power reserve was 100, it may have doubled now!

This made Charlotte realize another problem.

No wonder, in her perception, the power of the monster was not as powerful as the myth in her impression, probably not only because it was a creation forcibly gathered by divine power, but also because of the accumulated divine power of Scarlet Queen Rowena...most of them were Entered into this "Secret Book of Blood".

The chaos of the laws and lack of divine power were the main reasons why Charlotte was able to kill the monster instantly.

Of course, these powers now belong to Charlotte.

With the divine power entering her body, Charlotte's aura became deeper and deeper, and at the same time, all kinds of information entered her mind as the divine power surged into her mind.

That... is the power of law.

In the dark, Charlotte just felt that there was a lot of new knowledge in her mind, not only the blood inheritance of the Blood Sacred Scripture, but a more advanced understanding of divine power.

A fiery feeling came from her chest, and Charlotte felt that the divine fire ignited in her heart was burning more vigorously, and there seemed to be a faint tendency to converge.

Her heart moved slightly, knowing that she had "swallowed" the Secret Book of Blood, and thus indirectly absorbed the faceless statues collected by Hortosh.

Although it is not enough to condense the godhead, it gives Charlotte a deeper understanding of the existence of demigods.

A familiar feeling of sleepiness hit her, and Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

She knew...she might want to "sleep" again.

Fortunately, the "sleepiness" this time was not too severe, and with her current status, it was enough to suppress it to a certain extent.

After some consideration, Charlotte suppressed her sleepiness for the time being and planned to "sleep" again when the time was right.

Crimson light flashed, and the "Secret Code of Blood" was quickly absorbed by Charlotte.

However, just when the last secret book page turned into light and integrated into her body, a dark red halo... suddenly bloomed in her palm.

In Charlotte's surprised eyes, a notebook made of parchment appeared in her palm.

It was not transformed by divine power, but a real object, and it looked quite old, with a typical style of the Elf Era.

Not only that, Charlotte didn't even feel a trace of energy fluctuations from above, which showed that it was just a mortal object.

"It's sealed deep in the 'Book of Blood', so...hasn't it been discovered by me?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.

She thought for a moment and opened the notebook curiously.

Inside the notebook, the parchment has long since discolored and is damaged in many places, but even so, there are still quite a few intact pages.

The pages of the book are densely packed with words written in a mixture of Elvish and Continental Common Tongue.

Charlotte opened a page at random and started browsing:

"Apocalypse 508, flower blooming month 13th, sunny."

"Today is the day when I was officially appointed as the commander of the legion. His great majesty asked me what name I wanted to give my legion. I thought about it all night and decided to follow my heart."

"My bloodline... is the bloodline that strengthens flesh and blood, and my life essence is closer to your great majesty than other legion commanders..."

"Having the honor of becoming the commander of the legion as your maid is a sign of your trust in me, and it is also a test for me..."

"I have always hoped to be your support and support."

"In that case, my legion...let's call it Hortosh, the transliteration of the wall of flesh and blood in the ancient Elf language."

…
