-122- The mastermind behind the Scourge of Fire
Was it the power of blood that changed his appearance in the dream world?
Charlotte was thoughtful.
She tried to manifest the object as she did in the Night Castle, but failed.
This made Charlotte sure of another thing, that is, if the dream she entered was not her own, everything here could not be changed according to her mind.
The other intruders were just guests.
The only one who can change the dream world is the owner of the dream world.
In other words, Charlotte at the moment is probably unable to interfere with everything in this dream.
Of course, this is on the premise that she only uses her own powers.
Her current true strength is only of the first order of the stars, and she can't even release her spiritual power, so it's normal that she can't interfere with other people's dream worlds.
However, just because she can't do it herself doesn't mean she can't do it after she opens the hanging.
Thinking of this, Charlotte tried to use the divine power of blood, and at the same time, once again tried to manifest the mirror in her mind.
Crimson brilliance bloomed in her consciousness, and a glimmer appeared in Charlotte's hand, and a quaint mirror slowly emerged......
Charlotte's heart was slightly relieved.
Although her own strength was too weak to interfere with this dream.
But the divine power of blood ...... But it can allow her to regain the power to make her wish come true in the dream world!
That's stable.
Next, all you have to do is find Lottie's consciousness and the fire demon Valaroca.
Once she was sure of her status, Charlotte removed the mirror.
There is no way, using any power in this dream will consume divine power and consume her cheating time.
She's going to have to save a little bit of steel, and use it on the blade.
"Let's go, let's go in."
Withdrawing her divine power, Charlotte's gaze fell on the hall of the manor where the banquet was held not far away, and said to Sebas.
The two of them walked towards the hall one after the other, surrounded by aristocrats coming and going.
No one noticed the actions of the two.
Or more accurately, the people around, including the guards, couldn't see the two at all.
There is only a thin line between dreams and illusions.
There is no doubt that Lottie's dream is a fantasy for Charlotte.
Charlotte had a feeling, though.
As long as she uses the divine power of blood and has the power to interfere with dreams, these people in the dream realm will be able to see her.
Once you enter the hall, the surroundings are even more noisy.
The aristocrats gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing, and Charlotte could even hear their conversation.
Some are talking about recent anecdotes, some are talking about literature and art, and some are talking about what they have seen and heard on the mainland......
Seriously, if she hadn't known that she was in a dream, Charlotte wouldn't have recognized the difference between this and reality.
"Great master, this dream scene...... I'm afraid it was the birthday party of the Broglie sisters in the Broglie Manor ten years ago, and it was also the night of the Plague of Fire."
Sebas said with a solemn expression.
Charlotte bowed slightly.
Looking at the familiar scenes around her, she had actually guessed it.
Her eyes swept across the hall as Charlotte searched for Lottie's figure.
Lottie is the master of dreams.
Find Lottie to bring her out of this dream.
She had to be quick, to wake Lottie up before the Plague of Fire in the dream world happened.
There is often a certain reflection between dreams and reality.
Mary said that the fire demon Valarocca was trying to wake up, and since the dream world of the comparison was the day of the fire demon's disaster, then presumably the outbreak of the fire demon disaster also represented Valaroca's revival again.
Charlotte's gaze swept round and round the hall.
However, Lottie was not found.
I listened to the conversations of the nobles around me and learned a lot of secrets of the noble families......
And when Charlotte looked around and her eyes inadvertently fell on Sebas, who followed her in, she saw Sebas's somewhat serious expression.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly and asked:
"Sebas, what's wrong?"
"Master, there's something wrong with this dream......
Sebas looked at the nobles around him and said in a deep voice.
A little off?
Charlotte's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Oh? Tell me your judgment."
Charlotte said.
"Master...... As far as I know, the dream world revolves around the owner of the dream, and the scenes that evolve are all things that the owner of the dream knows or understands in his memory."
"In places where the owner of the dream is not there, the dream will generally become ambiguous...... Only the closer you get to the owner of the dream, the more real the dream world becomes."
Sebas said respectfully.
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the hall and he couldn't help but say:
"But this dream is too real...... There is no sense of gradual change in dreams, and it seems so real everywhere......
"We can even hear these nobles talking clearly, honestly...... I don't believe that Lottie's dreams could be so specific and detailed......
"It's not normal......
"This dream is supposed to be Lottie's memory, she can't remember it so clearly, she can't even remember the conversation of the nobles so clearly, not to mention that she is not in the hall now, and everything in the hall is still functioning normally."
"Master...... There's something wrong with this dream!"
Of course, there is a problem, after all, it is the dream of the resurrection of the fire demon Valaroca.
Charlotte said in her heart.
Still, Sebas's words reminded her of something.
When she first pulled Sebas into the Night Castle, the edge of the spirit world was filled with crimson mist, which was very much in line with the dream world's setting centered on the master of the dream world.
But now, they don't see even a bit of fog.
This can only show that the scene of this dream is very large, bigger than Charlotte imagined.
However, it is impossible for Lottie alone to embody such a specific and real dream.
Combined with the meaning of this dream, Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she had a guess:
"This dream...... I'm afraid it's not just Lottie's dreams."
"It's also the dream of the fire demon Valaroca."
Sebas's expression grew serious:
"I'm afraid...... There's only one explanation."
Charlotte's gaze withdrew from the hall and muttered:
"So...... Lottie's main consciousness is probably with the fire demon Valaroka."
"Lottie may have been taken somewhere in her dreams by Valaroca."
Listening to Charlotte's words, Sebas was thoughtful.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly:
"Where is the ceremony?"
Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded:
"It's not impossible."
"Looks like we're going to have to find out where the dungeon of Broglie Manor is, as far as I know, the place where the sacrifice of the Fire Demon Plague was made ten years ago was the dungeon of Broglie Manor!"
Sebas thought for a moment and said.
Charlotte shook her head slightly:
"It's not that much trouble."
"Someone...... It'll take us."
Well?
Sebas's heart fluttered.
The next moment, applause and cheers rang out in the hall, attracting countless eyes.
Sebas also subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and soon saw two gorgeously dressed figures.
One person she was familiar with, it was none other than the lord of Boulder, Duke Andrew.
The other looked much stranger, a middle-aged male nobleman, with eyebrows and eyes that resembled Lottie.
"Count Broglie...... And, Duke Boulder?"
Sebas's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
But soon, he frowned slightly:
"Wait...... Ten years ago, the Duke also attended the dinner?"
Charlotte was also a little surprised.
On the night of the Flame Demon Plague, it was never mentioned in various sources that the Duke also attended the banquet.
But in the dream, he appeared.
That's a bit subtle.
The guests on the day of the Flame Demon Plague were almost dead.
Very few escaped.
And no one in the mage regiment who later participated in the war had ever seen Duke Boulder.
This shows that the duke must have come in a hurry for a while and left quickly.
As if to confirm Charlotte's suspicions, after raising a toast, the Duke of Boulder left the hall.
Then the Count of Broglie followed.
Looking at the two people who left together, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
"Let's follow."
She said to Sebas.
Following the Duke of Boulder and the Count of Broglie, they also left the hall.
However, the direction in which the Duke left was not the gate of the manor, but the garden behind the hall of the manor.
After entering the garden, the man who led the way was replaced by the Count of Broglie.
The two of them followed the garden path, and soon came to an iron gate hidden behind the garden, and quietly turned in.
"Master...... It's the dungeon of Broglie Manor!"
Sebas froze slightly.
Boy......
Did the Duke even participate in the Flame Demon Plague ten years ago?
Charlotte's heart jumped.
Looking at the iron door in front of her, she narrowed her eyes:
"We'll follow, too."
Follow the two into the iron gate, which is followed by a staircase that winds down, and at the end of the staircase, there is indeed a dungeon.
In the dungeon, the guards followed the Earl of Broglie as "observers", and Charlotte and the two soon found the ceremonial location located deep in the dungeon.
It was an altar.
The altar is similar to the altar of the Blood Demon Order.
However, there is no Demon Eye, and instead there is an empty crystal coffin.
The Earl of Broglie and the Duke of Boulder were standing in front of the altar talking.
"How's the ritual going?"
"Back to Lord Duke, it will be done tonight, and if it goes well, my daughter will be healthy tomorrow morning, and it will be much safer to hold another ceremony for you then."
"Hmm...... Yes, be careful not to be discovered, the Church already suspects you of having a relationship with the Blood Demon Order, and the sacrifices are getting harder and harder to find."
"Please rest assured, I have made arrangements, once the ritual is successful, I will kill their informants, and then take the initiative to report the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Order to the church...... As for the ritual prepared for you, the offerings are sufficient."
"Hmm...... Are you really sure that the demonic pact they offer is valid?"
"It's been verified, no problem."
"Can it cure any of the body's dark ailments?"
"That's right."
"Including mine?"
"Yes, it can cure your fertility problems......
"Good! After that, Border will remember the contribution of the Broglies."
Listening to the answer of the Count of Broglie, the Duke of Boulder was quite satisfied.
Behind them, Charlotte's expression was serious, and there were waves in her heart:
Ten years ago, the Flame Demon Plague...... The Duke of Boulder turned out to be one of the masterminds behind the scenes!
