"The Supreme True Ancestor......"
"The ...... of Darkness and Shadows"
"The Source ...... of All Blood"
"Thy pious and humble descendant, hereby ask for guidance......
“……”
A brightly lit chamber.
The black-hooded werewolf Luffy led a crowd of werewolves, holding aloft a crimson emblem of thorns and roses, and prayed fervently to the altar.
The altar was carved with intricate magic patterns and enshrined a throne of thorn roses, glowing crimson with the prayers of many werewolves.
In the haze, the werewolf led by Lu Fu faintly seemed to hear an illusory and majestic voice ringing in his ears.
A crimson mist filled around the altar, a blood-colored glow over Luf's body.
And the werewolf Luff only felt a warm power rush into his body, making him feel that his body was full of strength!
It's a blessing!
That's a blessing from the Great Ancestor!
Werewolf Luff looked excited.
He kept in mind the ethereal voice that had just sounded in his ears, and made a fanatical salute in the direction of the altar:
"Your Majesty the Great True Ancestor! Your humble descendants will remember your guidance! ”
"Your Guidance...... It is the direction of our lives! ”
The crimson glow gradually disappeared from the altar, and the fanatical Loufu slowly got up and turned around.
He faced the many werewolves and said in a deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen! It's been eight months since we reconnected with the Great Ancestors......"
"Just now, His Majesty the Great True Ancestor once again issued an oracle to us......"
"The Holy Court has taken note of the activities of our Night Order, and we are ...... It was time to go north and leave Boulder. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the gaze of the True Ancestor is with us."
"For the sake of the great crown to return to the top as soon as possible, for the future of the werewolf, let the crimson brilliance ...... Follow our footsteps to the north! ”
"Praise...... True Ancestor! ”
Luffy shouted excitedly.
"Praise the True Ancestor!"
The other werewolves chanted as well.
……
Castel Manor, a luxurious small living room.
A beautiful girl with blond hair and a blue child is dressed in a gorgeous gown and elegantly sits on a silk soft chair.
It was a corset dress with white as the main tone and gold patterns as the decoration, elegant and dignified, which set off the already beautiful girl more noble, and was a little more mature in the youth.
I saw her rubbing her temples slightly, looking apologetically at the Knight of Judgment in front of her:
"Sorry...... Mr. Knight, I was a little dizzy just now and didn't hear your question clearly, can you repeat it again? ”
Trying to look away from the girl's increasingly captivating countenance, the Knight of Judgment took a deep breath and said:
"Countess Castel, you are the first nobleman in Boulder to come into contact with the power of the Night God, and you ...... about it Do you really have no clue? ”
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Knight, but as a devout believer in the Holy Spirit, I have always avoided these strange things like a snake and scorpion...... You know, my grandmother was bewitched by the Blood Demon Order, and I was almost killed for it......"
"Well, we've written down your words, thank you for your cooperation. In the future, if you remember anything, or if you have any clues related to the Night God and the Night Order, please send someone to the Inquisition immediately. ”
The Knight of Judgment said solemnly.
"Oh, yes......"
After speaking, he got up from his seat, his solemn expression softened, and his tone slowed down a lot:
"On behalf of the Inquisition and His Excellency the Grand Knight, I congratulate you on your coming of age, and may the divine splendor always be with you!"
The girl also got up, pinched the corner of her skirt and saluted, revealing an innocent and beautiful smile:
"Thank you for your blessings and may the divine radiance be with you!"
The knight of the judgment quickly left, and after seeing the other party leave, the girl's smile slowly retracted.
She picked up the goblet on the table, took a sip of fragrant milk, and fell into thought.
"Meow! Miss Charlotte, it seems that the Inquisition attaches great importance to the god of the night, and after all this time, it is still trying to investigate, and even the secret of the Thorn Rose has been dug up. ”
"Pick this day to inquire, these knights of the Inquisition really don't understand customs!"
Ness, the black cat, wriggled her fat body, jumped out of the chair, skillfully picked up the milk jug, and filled it up for the girl in a cute manner.
"It's okay, we're going to get out of here anyway."
Charlotte didn't care, shaking her head slightly.
"Then you need to pay attention to your volumes, werewolf IQ...... It may not be able to withstand the investigation of the Holy Court. ”
"I have my own arrangements."
The girl is surging and authentic.
"Meow! That's good! I can't wait to follow you to Castel to get it now, I've heard that the baby fish from the Star-Moon Strait is quite delicious! ”
Ness licked his paw and said expectantly.
Charlotte gave it a strange look.
This guy ...... I wanted to sneak away at any time, but now I have tacitly agreed that I will follow Castelle.
After the black cat finished speaking, he left the living room.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was lost in thought.
It's been a full year since she came into this world.
After eliminating the forces of the Blood Demon Order of Bolt and sending the High Priest away, she also ushered in a considerable period of free development.
In the past year, she has insisted on exercising day after day, and her true strength has been further improved, and she has mastered the various blood clan talent magic inherited one by one.
But unfortunately, after successfully taking control of the Crescent Diocese, the newly appointed High Priest of the Crescent Diocese of the Holy Court still shifted his attention to the evil god incident in Boulder and restarted the investigation.
To be honest, Charlotte herself wasn't much afraid of investigation.
But she's not alone anymore.
Not long after the High Priest prayed to her last year, she received a prayer from the werewolves.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Charlotte accepted the prayers of the werewolves and successfully established some kind of wonderful connection with them.
Thinking of this, Charlotte sank into consciousness and activated the Blood Tome again.
The crimson glow spread through her consciousness, and she saw once again the illusory sea of crimson stars corresponding to the summoning of blood.
But at this moment, Xinghai is already significantly different from when Charlotte first saw it.
That is, around Charlotte, that is, in the center of the sea of stars, almost two hundred red-golden stars appeared.
It was the star that represented the werewolves, and it also represented Charlotte's followers.
That's right, believers.
Charlotte sank into her consciousness and looked at her personal panel on the Beginning of the Blood Codex.
At the back of the Blood Scroll, a new column has appeared-
[Blood Believer: 179 (Werewolf)]
That's right, Charlotte has believers.
After receiving the werewolves' prayers more than half a year ago, she established a wonderful bond with the werewolves as if the aircraft carrier had reconnected with the lost carrier-based aircraft.
Like Sebas, who is a blood scroll, she can cast her gaze on the stars represented by these werewolves, and hear their prayers.
However, she can't send power down on them, nor can she summon them to her side like she summoned Sebas.
Not only that, but Charlotte did not derive the power of faith from these believers like those gods in fantasy, even if they believed in the True Ancestor.
Charlotte initially thought it was because she wasn't really a true ancestor.
But looking at the emblem of the Thorn Rose that the werewolves used to pray, she overturned the idea again, after all...... Thorn Rose's point is her.
That's interesting......
Through this incident, Charlotte speculated that the gods did not cultivate believers in order to gain some faith power from believers.
In other words, it is quite possible that there is not even any power of faith in this world.
So, what is the purpose of the divine mission?
Charlotte was curious.
For most of the year, she has been secretly studying the mysteries of believers and gods, but unfortunately she has not been able to study the reason.
She surmised that either the power of the Blood Tome wasn't enough and her true power was too low, or that she hadn't caught some key ......
The only thing that was special was probably when she cast a divine blessing on these blood believers, and the efficiency of the use of blood divine power was much, much higher than that of casting a blessing on ordinary beings, and it lasted longer.
This even made Charlotte wonder if if she continued to give blessings would be able to create an existence similar to that of a priesthood among believers?
Priest? Priest?
Of course, this is just Charlotte's speculation.
She's too lacking in divine power right now.
She didn't have that much divine power to test.
In the past half a year, the only source of stable divine power she has been able to find is the wool of the god lord Harald!
By absorbing the power of large-scale divine rituals, you can accumulate divine power little by little......
It's outrageous!
More than half a year has passed, and her divine power has only recovered by 3 points, reaching a total of 27.8!
In order to accumulate divine power, she didn't even make a new blood summoning.
And werewolves, more than 100 blood believers, can't provide her with any divine power!
But one thing is certain, that is, after having these Blood Believers, she can clearly feel that her connection with the Blood Sacred Book seems to be deeper, and even her practice the innate magic of the Blood Clan, and delve into the way of blood resonance more easily.
This was a breakthrough in research, but alas, Charlotte wasn't sure if the change was really related to believers.
Without obvious benefits, Charlotte didn't have much motivation to preach.
Furthermore, in the heart of the faith of the Holy Court, she did not dare to preach lightly......
As a result, these werewolf believers were "raised" by her in this way.
If nothing else, at least as a blood believer, can you guarantee loyalty?
However, Charlotte does not have the urge to proselytize for the time being, but that does not mean that the werewolf does not.
It was under this circumstance that the Order of the Night was formed.
Although it is only a prototype, although it was not built by Charlotte on its own initiative, it ...... It was indeed so natural that it was founded in the underworld of Boulder, and gained a cult following of the werewolves......
Charlotte could guess with her ass that there must be Sebas's handiwork.
However, since Sebas is willing to secretly help her set up a church, she is happy to see it.
Regardless of the purpose of the deity's mission, almost every deity spreads the faith.
This shows that faith and belief still play a crucial role in the growth of the gods.
Even if Charlotte doesn't know the purpose of the gods at the moment, she doesn't delay her from planning for the future.
It is also for this reason that after discovering that the Holy Court noticed the existence of the Night Order, she contacted the leader of the werewolves, Luf, and passed on the "oracle" to let them set off for the north as soon as possible.
It's a way to find a way for Charlotte, after all, Castel is in the Northlands.
Thinking of this, Charlotte slowly withdrew from consciousness.
At the same time, Shirley, who had already taken up the position of head maid and Charlotte's personal maid, also came to the parlor.
Seeing Shirley, Charlotte smiled slightly:
"Are you almost here?"
Shirley bowed her head slightly, still expressionless, but her voice was tinged with a hint of anger:
"Yes, the guests are almost here, do you want to head to the banquet hall now?"
Charlotte didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"What I asked you to think about before, how did you think about it?"
Hearing her words, Shirley's expressionless beautiful face lowered slightly, and seemed to hesitate.
Charlotte was not reluctant, but smiled:
"Don't be pressured, even if you don't become my subordinate, you can still continue to work by my side."
"But if you want to follow me all the time, drink that vial of blood."
Shirley was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The blood Charlotte was referring to was naturally the blood that needed to be drunk in the volume of her blood.
The blood was her own, and it contained a trace of the bloodline power needed to become a blood scroll.
After recovering more than 20 fragments of the Holy Codex, Charlotte's number of volumes has also increased by three, and Shirley, as a personal maid, is eager to accept the other party as a volume.
This will make it easier for her to act later.
Of course, if the other party is unwilling, Charlotte will not be reluctant.
In that case, she'll have to find a more suitable valet, and Charlotte's offer to drink the blood of the scroll will be erased from Shirley's memory......
Modify memory ...... It was the innate magic of the blood clan, the ability to dominate the magic system under the spiritual path.
The High Priest of the Blood Demon Order had used Domination to alter Lottie's memories.
After seizing the remnants of the Blood Demon Order's holy scriptures, Charlotte also obtained this inheritance called "Memory Domination".
The amount of blood clan magic she mastered now was already unprecedented, and she could be said to be a qualified blood clan.
Getting up from her seat, Charlotte straightened her gown.
Today is the first anniversary and three days of her journey into this world.
At the same time, it is also the sixteenth birthday of this body, and it is also the day of the coming-of-age ceremony and the official succession of the Count of Castel......
Today's Castel Manor is home to quite a few nobles in the principality!
"Let's go, let's go meet our guests."
Wearing Castel's family crest on her chest, Charlotte said with a smile.
