-11- A sense of disobedience
Why so many bloodlines?
What is the church doing? Are all the priests blind?
This is the royal capital of Lutesia, not Boulder!
Looking at the young nobleman in front of her, Charlotte's heart shook.
She never imagined that in the center of the Crescent Moon Diocese, one of the most powerful cities in the Divine Court, there would be so many blood clans hidden!
Not only that, but these blood clans even dared to hold a banquet openly, and even invited her, a foreign nobleman!
"Your Excellency Count Castel, there is no need to put on such a serious expression, we have invited you to our banquet, naturally it is well considered."
The young nobleman smiled slightly and said.
At the same time, many nobles, waiters, and maids in the banquet hall also looked at Charlotte and smiled slightly.
Their movements are uniform, and even their smiling expressions are exactly the same, like puppets manipulated.
Looking at this terrifying scene, Charlotte suddenly became numb, and the PTSD facing the living corpse when she just crossed over was about to be committed.
The music of the banquet hall has quietly changed, and it is no longer as melodious as the usual banquet hall, and the exaggerated soprano and tenor have replaced the troubadour's singing, which is strange and solemn.
I don't know when, the dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the lights in the hall quietly turned from bright to dark, and the shadows became more and more gloomy.
The red wine in the waiter's tray became more and more prominent, and the rich smell of blood came to the face.
A pair of scarlet eyes lit up in the dim light, looking at Charlotte in unison.
A vague fluctuation of divine power came, with some kind of power that distorted people's hearts.
It's a fallen god.
Fortunately, the Blood Sacred Book is there, and the interference of divine power at this level under the divine countermeasure has no effect on Charlotte at all.
But Charlotte was becoming more and more vigilant.
Her gaze swept over the blood clan in the banquet hall, and finally landed on the young nobleman at the head:
"You ...... Is it the Order of the Blood Demons? Is it so blatant that you are not afraid of the judgment of the Holy Court?"
Listening to Charlotte's words, the young nobleman smiled.
I saw him pick up a cup of red blood from the waiter's tray, drink it down elegantly, and then said:
"Your Excellency Count Castel, there is no need to be tempted, since we are holding a banquet here, we naturally do not have to worry about being discovered by the Divine Court."
Charlotte was silent.
She thought quickly about the meaning of this answer, and asked quietly:
"What is the purpose of inviting me here?"
The young nobleman smiled slightly.
I saw him respectfully perform the ancient etiquette of a blood clan, and then said:
"Your Excellency the Earl of Castel...... No, or more accurately, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wants to see you, and that's why you are invited here......
Your Majesty!
They call me Your Majesty!
Charlotte's mood sank.
She narrowed her eyes slightly:
"I don't quite understand what you're talking about."
The young nobleman laughed again:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to continue to disguise, indeed, you hide it well, but in front of the Great Grand Duke, all disguises are meaningless."
"The Thorn Rose is your emblem, the castle of the night is your divine domain, your power, all your crowns will not be forgotten, and your return, all your crowns are also foreseen."
"From the moment you arrived in Boulder, His Majesty was aware of your existence and has been preparing to come to you all along, in order to meet you......
Exposed......
Charlotte's heart sank.
And then there are doubts:
When was she exposed?
She knew that the Ness clan knew that there was a "god" behind her.
Considering that the Shedet clan had previously had a lie in the Ness clan
At the end of the day, it is likely that the Blood Demon Order has also received relevant news.
But knowing that there is a "god" behind her is not the same thing as knowing that she is that "god".
Not to mention...... The meaning of the other party's words is that he already knows that she is the "True Ancestor of Blood"!
What went wrong?
Charlotte was confused.
She thought she was hiding it properly, and that all the existences that might have identified her had either been solved or co-opted.
In this case, how did the Blood Demon Order know?
Charlotte felt that something was not quite right.
In the dark, she felt as if there was a sense of disobedience, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
However, it is no longer a question of how to expose yourself......
The words of the young nobleman made Charlotte have a guess with a heavy heart:
"You said the Grand Duke of Blood Demon wanted to see me...... Listen to you, could it be that she has already come?"
The corners of the young nobleman's mouth curled up in a strange arc.
I saw him smile, and his expression gradually became fanatical:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Crown has come."
"Thanks to you, you have made such a big fuss in the Northlands and attracted the attention of several legends of the Crescent Diocese, which is why we have a chance......
[In view of the general environment,
Listening to the words of the young nobleman, Charlotte's heart sank.
She understood what the other person meant.
The Grand Duke of Blood Demon has arrived, and ...... I am afraid that it will come in the king's capital.
No wonder......
No wonder the Blood Demon Order dared to hold a banquet under the nose of the church in an open and honest manner, and so many blood clans came.
If the Grand Duke of Blood Demon had succeeded in descending, then everything would make sense.
A myth is alive, and it may be easy to cover up a blood banquet.
Even more exaggerated speculation, maybe the entire royal capital has actually been controlled by the Blood Demon Grand Duke!
Charlotte regretted it a little.
She shouldn't have come to this party.
Obviously, this banquet was for her.
She had already begun to ponder whether or not to proceed with the True Ancestor Liberation.
She didn't think the Grand Duke of Blood Demon wanted to see her with good intentions.
If the other party finds out her true situation, her end will probably be quite miserable.
Fortunately, even if the Grand Duke of Blood Demon has already arrived, considering that the time for the other party to come is not too long, the power that can be exerted is likely to be limited, as long as the True Ancestor is liberated, she is not without the strength to fight.
But Charlotte's sense of unease grew stronger.
Especially when she was planning to liberate the True Ancestor, there was an indescribable resistance in her heart for some reason.
She always felt as if she had neglected something, and the sense of disobedience in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"Alright, Your Majesty, the rest of the time will be handed over to the Great Grand Duke."
The young nobleman said with a smile.
After saying that, his expression became crazy and eager.
I saw that the young nobleman suddenly stepped aside, revealing the mysterious idol behind him, and he drew a sign of the devil's eye on his chest, and said with a fanatical expression:
"Wandering in the Abyss and the Ruler of the World......
"The embodiment of depravity and decay......
"Savior of the Blood......
"Your Majesty, the Great Grand Duke! The True Ancestor of Blood has appeared, your humble servant, and I ask you to come......
After speaking, the strange idol emitted a red glow, and an ancient and vast aura slowly descended......
Under Charlotte's shocked gaze, a giant shrouded in dark red light slowly emerged in the banquet hall.
The dark red giant couldn't see clearly
appearance, but just looking at her gives people a sense of dizziness.
I saw her glance at Charlotte indifferently, and her cold voice did not carry a trace of emotion:
"Blood Ancestor, your power...... I took it."
A dark red burst of divine power, with some kind of power that can distort people's hearts.
When the divine power swept through the bloodborns present, all the bloodborns showed a fanatical and intoxicated look.
Immediately afterward, these bloodlines "melted" one after another, turning into pools of blood that were absorbed by the dark red giants......
In the blink of an eye, all the bloodlines in the entire banquet hall were devoured by the giant, and the giant's strength was further enhanced!
And after devouring the bloodline, the strange divine power did not stop, surging towards Charlotte......
Charlotte's expression changed dramatically.
She mobilized her divine power, and the Blood Sacred Book operated on its own, and the divine countermeasures were also stimulated.
The terrifying divine power quickly engulfed her, and Charlotte only felt the sting of burning corrosion spreading throughout her body.
The Blood Sacred Instrument is full of brilliance, and the divine countermeasures are also strengthened.
The power of the Holy Book and the dark red divine power were confronted for a full minute, and Charlotte could barely resist the opponent's attack.
Charlotte took a deep breath and prepared to fight for the liberation of the True Ancestor, but at the moment when she was about to completely explode the power of the blood, she stopped abruptly.
Feeling the power of the Blood Sacred Book in her body, looking at the terrifying red giant in front of her, Charlotte's expression was a little strange.
She...... I seem to know where the sense of disobedience is.
Today's divine countermeasures have not surfaced in the field of vision as quaint and mysterious words as before......
