-21- Demonic Pact
Searching for the senses in the dark, Charlotte quickly located the target.
It was the bookshelf in the study.
Manipulating Bertrand's body, Charlotte went to the bookshelf to look for it, and soon sensed that the summons were coming from behind the bookshelf.
She wasn't surprised.
After all, the fragments of the sacred scriptures are fragments of artifacts, and even if they are preserved, they can't be placed outside, and now it looks like they should be hidden in some kind of secret compartment or secret room.
Searching for the few memories that Bertrand still had, Charlotte groped around the bookshelves and soon found a hidden mechanism on the inside of the bookshelf.
She tugged slightly, only to hear the soft clatter of the bookshelf, revealing a hidden space behind the shelves.
It was indeed a dark room, but it was very small, looking like it was only four or five square meters in size at most, the size of Charlotte's bathroom in her previous life.
It's a hidden storage room.
The storage room was filled with large and small chests and scrolls, and the innermost wall was hung with various weapons and armor, and there was a sunken bookshelf on one side of the wall at the entrance, where books were neatly arranged.
Charlotte's gaze scanned around, and she quickly noticed the top box.
It was the latest chest, presumably made of Mithril, glittering in the dim light of the magic lamp, with intricate patterns and inscriptions carved into it, as well as red philosopher's stones.
Even if it was only a half-baked magic level, Charlotte still recognized it, this should be a treasure chest for sealing, and that kind of friendly summoning came from the treasure chest.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
's consciousness space, and finally returned to the Blood Sacred Codex.
Crimson light bloomed on the Blood Tome, and the heavy tome opened on its own, line after line of new handwriting slowly emerging on it.
Charlotte looked at it distractedly, and found that it was one extra dark magic one after another, from the lowest-level beginner-level magic [Dark Touch] to the high-level magic [Death Gaze], there were more than twenty of them.
In addition to the magic of the Dark Path, there are also two more spiritual paths and wild magic, one is the [Iron Heart] used to strengthen the spiritual power, and the other is the [Giant Power] used to strengthen the physical body, both of which are mid-level magic, corresponding to the Silver Moon.
Looking at the extra magic, Charlotte was quite satisfied.
With the collection of the fragments of the Holy Scripture, there are now more and more blood magic recorded in the Blood Holy Scripture, to be honest, she has no shortage of magic to learn, and sometimes she even feels a little unable to learn, if it weren't for the Blood Holy Book to be able to carry out [inheritance], she estimated that she would have learned the hemp claws she had already learned.
However, it's always a good thing to have more magic in reserve, and while most of Charlotte's magic hasn't even been used after learning it, it's better than not learning it at all.
It's all heritage, and who knows when it's going to be useful.
And among all the magic, Charlotte feels that the most useful to herself should be [Iron Heart], with the divine power of blood, Charlotte can achieve dimensionality reduction blows as long as she uses divine power many times, but controlling divine power consumes a lot of mental power, and magic that strengthens mental power can greatly enhance her resilience.
As for the high-level magic [Death Gaze] that appeared, it was a bit of a chicken for Charlotte, who was now only in the Silver Moon, but perhaps when using the power of blood or the liberation of the True Ancestor, she could give this blazing sun-level magic a try.
One by one, the fragments of the sacred scriptures returned, and the sacred scriptures of blood became thicker and thicker.
And after the last fragment returned, the Blood Tome erupted with an even more dazzling light.
It was no longer a crimson glow, but a familiar golden glow for Charlotte.
After seeing that brilliance, Charlotte's spirits suddenly lifted.
For the Blood Tome, every time a fragment is replenished, it is a repair, and every repair means the evolution of a new Blood Clan.
And when the repair reaches a certain point, the Blood Tome will unlock even more powerful "abilities"!
It's not just spells, it's more powerful, it's more unique.
From the earliest [Divine Countermeasures], to the later [Call of Blood], to the [True Ancestor Liberation], which is still Charlotte's hole card, and the [Divine Blessing] and [Web of Faith] that opened Charlotte's path of faith, this is the case.
Obviously, after absorbing so many fragments this time, the power of the Blood Sacred Book has been restored to a new level!
Charlotte detached her consciousness of manipulating the "puppet" and focused on the Blood Sacred Book again, and soon saw the quaint golden handwriting appear on the new blank pages-
【Blood Tome: Dark Chapter】
[I listened to the crazy hymns and the whispers of demons,]
[I carve the true name of evil and the image of an ancient god,]
[In the name of darkness, I summon the curtain of shadows,]
[I summon the spirit of chaos with the soul of madness,]
[I summon the Eye of Evil with the body of a blood spirit,]
[I testify to the most ancient contract......
[The core of the Dark Chapter is repaired, and the final ability of this chapter is unlocked-]
【Demon Pact (Active)】
[Demon Contract: As the supreme artifact of the Blood Clan, the Blood Tome records the obedience contract signed between the True Ancestor and the Ancients Demon, which can summon any demon who responds from the present world to be driven, and the strength of the summoned demon is proportional to the power provided, and the time spent in the present world is proportional to the power provided. All beings with demonic blood will be bound by a contract to some extent. 】
"Demon...... Contract?"
Charlotte was stunned for a moment.
This new ability came as a surprise to her.
The magic that summons demons, the Dark Chapter is not nothing, and among the record magic that Charlotte obtained before, there are magic that summon little demons and shadow demons.
However, it was all directional magic, but this magic was more general.
Charlotte had never used the magic that summoned demons because she couldn't.
Dark magic was already taboo in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, not to mention the magic of summoning demons, as a lord, Charlotte has no shortage of errand runners, and the so-called summoning demons is actually quite chicken.
It is also for this reason that after seeing this new ability, Charlotte's first feeling was also a little disappointed.
However, Charlotte knows that every ability unlocked by the Blood Sacred Book is actually not simple, let alone looking at the text description, this is still the ability unlocked after the core of the Dark Chapter has been almost repaired, and it is very likely that it is also related to the nature of the Dark Chapter.
Charlotte took a closer look and soon discovered the peculiarities of this new ability.
First, the [Demon Contract] does not limit the strength and type of summoned demons, as long as the energy used to summon is large enough, the strength of the summoned demons is also strong enough, in a sense, as long as you are willing to spend blood, you can even summon mythical-level demons......
Second, the summoned demons need to obey the demon contract, and although they stay for a limited time, they need to obey the summoner unconditionally, rather than worrying about the demon's backlash like other summoning contracts.
Third, it's not just summoned demons, as long as you have this ability, it's equivalent to signing a contract with all demons in a broad sense, although the binding force is not as strong as the summoned demons, but all beings with demon blood will be suppressed in front of Charlotte.
That's pretty strong.
There is no limit to summoning demon power and types, and the application is wider, if Charlotte is willing to spend blood, she can even summon a demon monarch-level existence as a fighter, which is very meaningful when she is paired with super-sized power.
You must know that although the liberation of True Ancestor can give Charlotte the strength close to that of a demigod, it is only Charlotte's combat power, and her use of blood divine power is relatively rough, and she may not be able to beat those senior legends in a real fight.
It's not the same with a demon contract.
As long as she is willing to spend divine power, it is enough for Charlotte to summon the Demon Monarch when she fights against the legend, and she can directly smash the divine power and drown the opposite side.
In addition, the summoning demons who are completely obedient are equivalent to more cannon fodder for Charlotte who can do things.
When it is inconvenient for her to come forward directly, she can also use this ability to summon some demons to fish in troubled waters.
Like what...... In fact, now is a good time.
In addition, there is a fourth point, and that is the power of the Blood Demon Order......
It's been almost two years since the crossing, and Charlotte has been dealing with the Blood Demon Order for almost two years.
The Blood Demon Order is called the "Blood Fiend" not only because of its evil teachings, but also because it is related to demons.
Many of the powers of the Blood Demon Order are similar to those of demons, and even the Blood Demon Grand Duke Abaddon can tell from the spell that he sacrifices to her that this should be an abyssal demon.
Most of the blood clan originally had dual identity attributes, for example, Charlotte is a blood clan, but she is also a human with half-elf blood, although she is no longer a human in the strict sense, but her identity before becoming a blood clan still leaves a mark, and she can still operate in the civilized world as a human without revealing her essential power.
In the same way, the Grand Duke of the Blood Demon Abaddon is a blood clan, but before he became a blood clan, he was probably also a demon.
At the same time, almost all the members of the Blood Demon Cult have almost all the roots of their power coming from the Blood Demon Grand Duke......
This brings up another interesting fact.
That is, all the Shedet bloodlines themselves have a certain degree of demonic power, and deep in their blood, they also have demonic blood.
[Demon Contract] has a certain contract constraint on the existence of demonic blood, and the bloodline of the true ancestor of blood has bloodline suppression over other bloodlines
……
Charlotte was suddenly curious about how much strength the bloodline of the Blood Demon Sect could exert in front of her.
She thought she might be able to give it a try these days.
After studying the [Demon Pact] for a while, Charlotte put it aside.
She was delighted by the recovery of the fragments of the Holy Scriptures, but there was still much to be investigated in the storage room of what was clearly Bertrand's treasury.
A Blood Count, who is also a fiefdom nobleman of the kingdom, Charlotte is also very interested in his collection.
Charlotte first looked at the chests, and opened them one by one, revealing that they were all precious magical materials and props collected.
She is not a novice, after a rough look, and with the help of the [Extraordinary Appraisal] of the Spirit Dao, she roughly estimated that the extraordinary materials and props in this room are probably worth millions of Quintana.
Although Charlotte has money, when it comes to extraordinary items, many times it is not possible to get them with money, and she looked at these things and planned to move them away.
After a "sweep", Charlotte's attention was quickly attracted by the books on the inner shelves.
Most of the books on the shelves are forbidden spellbooks that record dark magic and Bloodline spells.
The Blood Tome was there, and these things didn't appeal to Charlotte, but what really interested Charlotte was a book made up of parchment rolls in the corner of the shelf, and a heavy book.
It was a roster, and a notepad.
