Tome of Blood

Chapter 629 -128- Puppet

Charlotte had thought about how powerful the two blood clans that controlled the Kingdom of Coria were.

After all, they were a force that could resist the attack of the Holy Royal Court. If they were not strong, they would not have survived for a thousand years under the siege of the First Church of the Continent.

But when she really witnessed the power of the two blood clans, she was still shocked.

There were more than 30 legendary dukes in total! The number of earls at the Blazing Sun level also exceeded 500! And among the remaining low- and middle-level ones, nearly two-thirds were blood clans at the Silver Moon Viscount level!

The number of blood clans above the high level was almost the same as the high-end combat power of several core parishes of the Holy Royal Court!

Obviously, this was the accumulation of thousands of years of the two major clans of Vadrat and Selem.

Blood clans are like this, long-lived, as long as they can survive, the accumulated power will definitely become stronger and stronger as time goes by.

Of course, in reality, there are always various accidents that lead to the fall of blood clans, such as the thousand-year-long cleanup of the Holy Royal Court, which caused heavy losses to almost every active blood clan.

But today Charlotte found an exception.

Vadrat and Selem, the two clans that controlled the Kingdom of Koria, the two blood clans that fought the most and most frequently with the Holy Court, actually had more high-end power than those blood clans that hid in seclusion!

This power... To be honest, let alone using the Kingdom of Koria as a base to fight against the Holy Court.

In the era when the gods did not come out, Charlotte felt that it was very possible to directly go to war with the entire Holy Court and conquer half of the continent!

But the two major clans did not do so.

Is it the constraints of the blood clan princes behind them?

Or... is there any other reason?

"Your Majesty, we have been waiting for this day to come, waiting for you to become our leader again. Are you satisfied with our army?"

Selem Drado asked respectfully.

His face was full of pride, but his words were full of expectations, and his hot eyes looking at Charlotte made the girl a little dazed for a while.

Different from the awe of the Ness clan, the fear of the Shedit clan, and the gratitude and submission of the Hortsos clan...

On his face, and even on the faces of the vampires of the "vampire army" in the square below, there was... and only fanaticism.

That was Charlotte's nostalgic expression.

That was the expression of her followers when she led the vampire army to fight against the Old God Alliance when she traveled through history.

If she didn't know where she was standing, she would have doubted whether the vampire army had returned.

Oh, no.

If the vampires in front of her really followed the tradition, they were indeed evolved from the two legions of the vampires in the past.

However, people's hearts will change, but the vampires in front of her, even after a thousand years, seem to have not changed their beliefs.

But Charlotte did not simply feel relieved, on the contrary... she was a little confused in her heart.

There is no other reason. According to the records of various books, the Vadrat and Selem clans were the first two clans to betray the Blood True Ancestor, and it was they who started the division of the blood clan.

After they heard about Charlotte, they even wanted to infiltrate the Castel Territory, although they didn't know why there was no follow-up.

This is very contradictory.

If they started the division, why are they so excited now? It's like... it's like they knew this day would come and they were looking forward to Charlotte's arrival.

"True Ancestor... Your Majesty?"

Looking at Charlotte who fell into silence, the great elder of the Selem clan, Drado, called respectfully.

Charlotte put away her thoughts and nodded slightly:

"Not bad."

After being recognized, Drado and other blood clan members' eyes brightened, like children praised by their parents.

Charlotte looked at the black dragon Odoria on the side:

"I see that they have all changed their clothes to thorn roses. Did you prepare this in advance?"

"This is the unanimous opinion of the elders of the two clans. After knowing your return, they decided to re-activate your holy emblem. After all... they are all your most devout believers."

Eudosia said.

Lies.

This was Charlotte's first thought.

Although Eudosia vowed, and although the respect and enthusiasm from the heart of the blood clan in front of her were not false...

Charlotte was very sure of this, because she, who had already achieved true god, could listen to the voices of these "descendants" to a certain extent even if she was not in the Dark Night Castle, and knew that they really respected her.

But...

She did not feel the faith of these blood clans.

They were not her believers.

Of course, it was not advisable to simply and rudely say that Eudosia was lying. After all, there was a contract between her and the other party, and the other party could not deceive her.

Charlotte believed that the faith of these blood clans in front of her was someone else.

They follow the True Ancestor fanatically, but their faith is not her.

At a certain moment, Lilith's figure appeared in Charlotte's mind again.

"Their faith... is it still you?"

Charlotte murmured in her heart.

If so, it might make sense.

Such a large blood clan army, not everyone can maintain it, especially in the era when the gods of the Holy Royal Court rose, fighting against the gods of the Royal Court is a difficult task.

However, it is different if there is a strong presence behind you silently supporting you.

However, if the Valdrat clan and the Selem clan are really Lilith's creation, what is her purpose in maintaining such a huge vampire army and giving this vampire army to herself?

Now that the Holy Royal Court and the Blood Clan are no longer enemies, who should we deal with?

Not only that, except for her, a "person from another world", everyone else in the Miria continent has forgotten Lilith's name.

Since even the name and existence have been forgotten, why does the faith still exist?

Or could it be said that the destination of their faith was not Lilith, but was intercepted by some other being? Or maybe it went to their prince?

Thinking of this, Charlotte wanted to meet the princes of the two major clans as soon as possible.

She has a mythical intuition, and after meeting the princes of the Valdrat clan and the Selem clan, perhaps her doubts may be answered.

"Yes, even after a thousand years, you still maintain the glory of the vampire army, but... where is your prince? Even if he is injured, it is time to come out and meet him now, right?"

Charlotte asked.

Even if a demigod is injured, it is not difficult to create a magical avatar to meet him, unless he does not want to meet or cannot meet.

After hearing Charlotte's words, the vampires of the two clans looked at each other.

In the end, it was Delado who stood up and said bravely:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, we have reported your arrival to the Grand Duke, but... we have not received a response. Maybe they are still sleeping..."

they?

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.

She subconsciously felt it, but... she didn't feel the breath of the myth. Not only that, although the only two "suns" left in the sea of ​​crimson stars gave her an increasingly intense throbbing feeling, as if He It seemed like they were nearby, but Charlotte still didn't get a response.

"Where are they?"

Charlotte asked.

"Please follow me. They are in the forbidden area of ​​the royal capital. No vampire is qualified to step into them, not even me, except... you."

Eudocia said.

Soon, she made a respectful "please" gesture.

Charlotte glanced at her and shook her head:

"Eudosiya, after recovering your memory, you have become mysterious and less cute."

Eudocia froze, but did not answer. She just saluted respectfully and led the way.

Seeing the other party like this, Charlotte was a little bored, but she followed her.

Passing through the castle of the vampires, Charlotte quickly arrived at a huge stone door surrounded by many high-level vampires.

The majestic stone gate is painted with complex blood clan crests and reliefs, and is protected by layers of magic barriers, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of atmosphere.

After seeing this stone gate, Charlotte's divine fire began to beat violently, and there was a faint and wonderful response in her blood.

Deep in his consciousness, in the sea of ​​crimson stars, one of the only two "suns" left bloomed with unprecedented brilliance.

One of the two remaining princes is among them!

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

However, even though Charlotte had arrived at the door, no vampire prince came out.

Even though Charlotte released her breath, she did not hide her presence.

Delado, the chief elder of the Selem clan, was a little embarrassed. He hesitated and planned to knock on the door, but was quickly stopped by Charlotte:

"No, I can just go in by myself."

After finishing speaking, Charlotte clicked lightly, and the thick stone door slowly opened under the crimson light.

Charlotte stepped forward and walked in.

The vision changes, the magic power flows, and it is the familiar feeling of dislocation in a different space.

When the scene in front of her became clear again, Charlotte was stunned.

She came to the Dark Night Castle.

It is not the dark night castle in her spiritual world.

It is a dark night castle in a "realistic sense" that is exactly the same as her spiritual world, located in a different space.

The black stone wall is as solemn and vicissitudes of life as ever, and the crimson Throne of Blood stands on the steps. Even the reliefs on both sides of the wall are exactly the same as the castle in Charlotte's spiritual world, depicting the legend of the true ancestor. , and various deeds after her return.

The "sun" in the ocean of consciousness became quiet, but Charlotte's expression became solemn.

The Throne of Blood is empty, but next to the Throne of Blood, there are two tall sculptures standing on the left and right.

They were two puppets with cracks all over them.

Their bodies are painted with the clan emblems representing the Valdrat clan and the Selem clan respectively, and the aura they exude is far beyond legend, almost reaching the level of demigods.

And the clothes they wore were exactly the same as what Charlotte saw in Lilith's memory, the clothes worn by the vampire princes when they served as legion commanders.

Almost instantly, Charlotte realized clearly that they... were the Grand Dukes mentioned by Delado and others!

puppet!

The myths of the Valdrat clan and the Selem clan turned out to be not real demigods, but puppets comparable to demigods!

There was a huge wave in Charlotte's heart, and she instantly realized why the vampires called them "Grand Duke".

Because he is just a puppet, not a demigod, he cannot be called "His Majesty"!

After letting out a breath, Charlotte took steps towards the throne.

Climbing up the stairs, Charlotte came to the throne.

The two puppets did not react.

No, it should be said that they could no longer react. In Charlotte's perception, they had lost their spiritual light and only had power left.

They had lost their intelligence and could no longer move, and naturally could not respond to the vampires of the two clans.

Charlotte's eyes naturally fell on the Blood Throne.

In the center of the throne, there was an envelope decorated with thorny rose patterns.

Charlotte raised her fingers and took the envelope into her hand. When she saw the words on the envelope clearly, her eyes suddenly became solemn.

The envelope was crimson, and the words were golden and square:

"Charlotte de Castel, to you."

That was Chinese.
