Tome of Blood

Could this be... the diary of Scarlet Queen Rowena?

Looking at the notes hidden in the "Secret Book of Blood", Charlotte looked surprised.

Then, she quickly became excited.

The Age of Mythology is full of secrets.

If she could find out what happened through Rowena's diary, maybe...she could also know what happened to Lilith and Harald.

Thinking of this, Charlotte instantly became energetic.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to the first page of the diary and browsed it carefully:

"Apocalypse 495, Frost and Mist Moon, 7th, sunny."

"Recording what I have experienced in the form of a diary is indeed a good choice for a forgetful person like me."

"The Vampires are immortal. I have been a Vampire for so long, and I still maintain the youthful and beautiful appearance I had when I became a Vampire. Maybe... in another thousand or two thousand years, my memory will gradually blur with the passage of time. When you are unclear, you will also need these things to evoke these ancient memories."

"..."

"Apocalypse 495, Ice Moon 21st, snow."

"Today is the day when I am officially selected as Your Majesty's personal maid. I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Your Majesty is my savior. I am indeed very forgetful and may forget many things, but this is the only thing I will never forget."

"I... have long decided to dedicate everything I have to Your Majesty."

"..."

Not quite what Charlotte had imagined.

Rowena's "diary" records quite trivial things.

Especially the first parts, which are almost all about her daily work, and the common point of all the contents is that there are only three or five sentences that are consistent with Mianxia.

Even after a thousand years, Charlotte can still feel the respect the other party has for "Your Majesty" through words.

By browsing, she seemed to see a vampire girl working hard and getting closer step by step towards the existence she admired.

But Charlotte's smooth turnaround didn't last long.

After flipping through the first dozen or so pages of trivial records, the records on the next page of the "diary" began to become blurry.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

That was not a blur in the notes caused by the passage of time, but seemed more like a man-made erasure.

The evidence is the words she browsed on the previous page, which are still clear even after thousands of years.

As for the fuzzy parts of these records, even Charlotte's demigod-level eyesight couldn't tell what those words had written.

Not to mention distinguishing, it stands to reason that as long as the handwriting is there, even if it is blurred, she should be able to use magic to retroactively complete it and deduce the original content.

But she couldn't do these vague parts.

Not only that, even with the use of divine power, Charlotte couldn't tell what was written in those blurry parts.

Not normal, this is not normal.

It's definitely not normal to see such a big difference just one page apart.

Charlotte's heart sank slightly, and she had some bad premonitions.

She quickly continued to flip through it, and then she found to her dismay that most of the "diary" had become blurry.

However, not all of the diary has become blurry.

There are also some record pages, some of which are still clear, and there are even some scattered middle pages that are still clear.

The first record of becoming a Legion Commander that Charlotte randomly flipped through was one of the middle pages that remained legible.

Charlotte frowned and continued to read, skipping the blurry parts and continuing to browse the clearer parts:

"Apocalypse 497, the 19th of the month of Heat, sunny."

"The situation is getting more and more critical. Even with the blood warriors, it is still difficult to fight against the elves' army."

"The city-state has discussed and decided to develop more vampires. If there are more vampires, we can further increase our combat power."

"I really don't know when this war will end..."

"..."

"Apocalypse 508, Fengwu month 11th, sunny."

"Victory! We finally won! After so many years of fighting, we finally won the final victory and won control of Northern Xinjiang."

"From today on, no one can bully the Free City State!"

"Long live your great majesty! Long live the vampires! Long live the free people!"

"..."

"Apocalypse 534, Fengwu month 11th, sunny."

"Today is the anniversary of the victory in the war. After so many years of war, under the leadership of Your Majesty, we finally unified the entire continent of Miria."

"Both the Sea King and the Moon God have been defeated by His Majesty, the elves have given up their rule over the Eastern Continent, and the old gods have also chosen to go into seclusion. Perhaps... the era that belongs to humans and the blood race is coming!"

"I feel that my bloodline power has become more and more throbbing recently. Your Majesty said that in a short time, I can try to attack the demigods."

"..."

"Apocalypse 667, the 18th day of the flower blooming month, sunny."

"This should be the last time I use the Era of Apocalypse. I really didn't expect that becoming a demigod would be so difficult and long. When I woke up, a hundred years had passed, and even the era of the continent had changed."

"The Blood Moon Era? It feels like a vampire. From now on, I will also use the new era to record events!"

"..."

"It rained on April 7, 31st Year of the Blood Moon."

"It's really hard to change habits. Even after all these years, I'm still not used to counting the months digitally."

"His Majesty has become more and more silent recently. He seems to be worried. I don't know if this is related to the recent conflicts in various kingdoms."

"I really didn't expect that the extraordinary power that was given to us to protect the city-state during the war has now become the biggest barrier between us and the people..."

"..."

"November 2, Year 33 of the Blood Moon, sunny."

"There's another bloodline rampage incident. Although the bloodline curse has always existed, this is the first time in so many years that such a serious incident has occurred..."

"I heard that protests against the Blood Palace broke out in almost every kingdom. Is it true that the Blood Clan is no longer considered a fellow race by humans?"

"I heard that Your Majesty personally suppressed several troublemaking human legends and Dukes of Blood. What did Your Majesty... think about it?"

"..."

"July 5, Year 40 of the Blood Moon, sunny."

"Your Majesty is about to fall asleep again."

"In recent years, I seem to have fallen asleep more and more often, and the time has become longer and longer."

"Your Majesty said that He will try to completely end the curse of the Vampire Clan and find the origin of the Vampire Clan. Is this... really possible?"

"No, I cannot doubt Your Majesty. As long as it is something Your Majesty wants to do, you will definitely be able to do it!"

"Strange... why do I always feel like I have forgotten something."

"..."

"March 2, Year 112 of the Blood Moon, sunny."

"I really don't know what those guys in Kexi are thinking. They are trying to establish blood slavery. Have they forgotten that they were once human beings?!"

"And your Majesty, why don't you care about them?"

"I feel like I can't see Mianxia more and more clearly. Sometimes, I feel as if He has changed. Is He really still the Mianxia I once knew?"

"Your Majesty... seems to be hiding something. Does he still remember to end the curse of the vampires?"

"No, no, no, I can't speculate or doubt our great Majesty like this, He is the one who created us!"

"Huh? It doesn't seem right..."

"The Vampire Clan... was created by Your Majesty?"

"..."

"August 5, Blood Moon Year 235, sunny."

"Your Majesty has returned from the Old World."

"He said that he has found a solution to the blood curse of the vampire family."

"He hopes that I can work with Him as an assistant to try to solve this problem that has troubled the vampires for hundreds of years. He said that He wants me to cooperate with Him to create an unprecedented artifact that can change everything and end everything."

"I don't know what you want to change or end, but I am happy to participate in this plan that can solve the blood curse. It's just... Your Majesty seems to be stranger than before. He no longer even calls me my love." Weighed."

"His Majesty will look to the sky from time to time. His gaze is very far away."

"Sometimes, I feel as if He is far away..."

"Your Majesty... what happened?"

"..."

"September 18, Year 270 of the Blood Moon, sunny."

"The power of creation! It turns out... that the source of the blood clan's power is actually the power of creation?!"

"Is the creation myth of the elves true?"

"In this world...there really is a God of Creation?!"

"What is the origin of the Vampire Clan? Didn't your Majesty create the Vampire Clan?"

"If not, who created the Vampires...?"

"I seem to have really forgotten something...but what exactly did I forget?!"

"..."

"..."

"It failed...the ritual failed! The plan to build the artifact also failed!"

"It's impossible to create such an artifact, it's impossible to create it!"

"His Majesty is also injured, and He is about to fall asleep again..."

"..."

"Who is He? He is not His Majesty! He is definitely not His Majesty!"

"Tell the other princes quickly! We must tell the other princes before everything is irreversible!"

"..."

"Ah... I see, it turns out that everyone has failed a long time ago."

"We are always in a loop, always... always in a loop!"

"..."

"I... finally understand why His Majesty asked me to keep a diary in the first place."

"But I'm afraid...it's too late."

"What's standing in front of us is not a curse."

"But...the original law."

"..."

When the diary is opened here, it is almost over.

When Charlotte turned to the end, there were more and more blurry record pages.

But even so, just the part that she could see clearly made her look a little creepy.

"The ritual... failed? What kind of ritual was it? A ritual to lift the blood curse?"

"The artifact that was created also failed? Doesn't that refer to the Blood Sacred Scripture? The Blood Sacred Scripture... was not successfully built? If it was not successful, what happened to the Blood Sacred Scripture in my body?"

"And...'He', He is not Your Majesty? What does this mean?"

"Who is 'him'?"

"What does it mean that it's always in a cycle? Could it be... that it's referring to history?"

Charlotte murmured to herself, her frown deepening.

Although most of the diary records were inexplicably blurred, she was able to piece together what exactly happened thousands of years ago.

After the Vampires' victory, Rowena's crown prince, or more accurately... Lilith, seemed to have been looking for a solution to the Vampires' bloodline curse.

The vampires... seem to have forgotten that she created the vampires, and pursuing the origin of the vampires and the solution to the blood curse has become Lilith's obsession.

But in the end, Lilith failed.

Not only did he fail, but he also seemed to have fallen into madness and had his identity taken away by some kind of being...

Not only that, but Lilith's plan to create an artifact, or more accurately, a "blood scripture" failed.

As for what happened next, there is no mention in the diary.

But based on Charlotte's known information, it's likely that the princes defeated the being who stole Lilith's identity.

This... is probably the truth behind the "betrayal" of the vampire prince.

"The diary says that the source of the vampire's power is the power of creation..."

"Could it be that... the existence that took away Lilith's identity is the 'Creation God'?"

"Also, if the creation of the Blood Sacred Scripture fails, what happens to the Sacred Scripture in my body? Or... the failure here refers to the scattered pages of the Blood Sacred Scripture?"

"It's not impossible. The Blood Sacred Scripture is in a damaged state. Could it be that... the Blood Sacred Scripture has never been 'complete' from the beginning? Because it has never been successful?"

"But...why does the diary say 'it is impossible to build a success'?"

Charlotte's frown deepened.

After thinking about it, she prepared to browse the diary again.

However, just when she flipped to the front, she saw the diary suddenly glowing with light, and a new page appeared on the last page.

Charlotte made a move.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned over it again, and saw a new text appearing on it:

"I'm Rowena."

"By the time you read this, I should be dead."

"I don't know who you are. Maybe you are a descendant of the blood clan. Maybe you are my chosen successor. Maybe you are me in the future. Maybe... you are someone forgotten by us losers. .”

"But no matter what your identity is, since you can see this record I left, it means that you are the person I trust in the last moment of my consciousness, and also... the person I trust in the last moment of my consciousness. .”

"Since you have read this text, it means that you are the last hope mentioned in the oracle, and it also means that there is some kind of power in you that can resist 'His' power."

"The next words, please remember, it is related to your future and the future of the entire world."

"This... is your last oracle -"

"History never changes."

"But history... can be made!"

"..."
