-137- Goodbye Bardock (6000 words)
Charlotte stepped out of the carriage and looked curiously at the Ness Clan's station.
This was the first time she had come to the large stronghold of the Blood Clan, and it had to be said that the castle complex of the Ness Clan was quite close to the vampire lair she imagined.
Mist, castle, dead tree, grave, crow, bat......
Almost every imaginable element can be found here.
Oh, yes.
And gargoyles.
The Bloodlines of the Miria world like to summon or craft puppet monsters for use in the home and nursing homes.
Charlotte quickly noticed the eighteen hideous-looking gargoyles around the Teleportation Plaza.
They looked like demons, with bat-wings on their backs, and their scarlet eyes stared straight at Charlotte.
Hoarse mechanical voices emanating from their hideous beaks:
"Warning! Warn! Discover a strange bloodline! Discover a strange bloodline! ”
"Breath analysis...... Identification ......"
"Identification ...... Fail! Hazard Rating...... Great threat! ”
"Your Excellency, stranger, please report your identity and intentions! Otherwise...... You will be attacked by the Ness Guardian! ”
Under the "Sage Pose", Charlotte saw through the details of these gargoyles almost at a glance:
"Tsk, I see, capture a high-level transcendent, erase their souls from their own will, and refine them into the puppet monsters created by stone statues......"
I have to say that the heritage of the Ness clan is still quite deep.
In Charlotte's perception, each of these eighteen gargoyles probably has a blazing sun-level combat power.
Not only that, but their locations are very regular, vaguely matching with the magic circles on the ground, and they are also able to form enhanced spells similar to magic energy arrays.
And the eighteen Blazing Sun Integration Techniques are definitely something that even legends don't dare to provoke.
Charlotte glanced at the gargoyles with interest.
She did not directly identify herself, but said indifferently:
"Tell Bardock that the deceased is visiting."
The gargoyles were clearly overwhelmed by Charlotte's words.
After Charlotte finished speaking, they were visibly shut down for a moment, and only after a moment did a low, hoarse voice sound:
"Lord Bardock...... The Old Man ......"
"Error ......"
"No reservation detected, judged invalid......"
"Activate Emergency Magic ......"
"Expand...... Forcibly expelled! ”
After speaking, the eighteen gargoyles spread their wings, and the red light on their bodies flashed, lighting up a layer of strange magic patterns.
Their aura soared instantly, and then, without saying a word, they rushed directly towards Charlotte.
Looking at the gargoyles who attacked without saying a word, Charlotte sighed and said to Jurster, who was already planning to turn his head away:
"It seems...... The puppet life of the Ness clan is still not very intelligent. ”
Jurst: ......
He really didn't know how to pick up the topic of his ancestors for a while.
The gargoyles' attacks are imminent.
Their eyes lit up, and a full thirty-six red rays shot out of their eyes, forming a huge three-dimensional network in different directions, blocking all of Charlotte's dodging routes.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.
She could feel the astonishing energy contained in the ray.
But...... But he didn't feel threatened.
Not only that, but the speed of the ray was very fast, but in Charlotte's field of vision, she felt very slow.
That feeling...... It's as if she could even hold out all the rays with just one hand if she wanted to.
That's not a delusion.
Because Charlotte under the "Sage Posture" is indeed faster.
Almost subconsciously, Charlotte stretched out her right hand.
I saw that she waved her hand lightly, and the red rays that shot down from all directions were all blocked by her.
No, it should be more accurate to say that it was the energy that was taken into Charlotte's hands.
It was indeed an energy, and Charlotte could feel the heat and agitation in her hands, even in the "Sage Posture", she felt a little hot in her hands, as if she had touched hot water at fifty or sixty degrees Celsius in her previous life.
This is enough to explain how terrible the gargoyle's rays are.
You must know that under the "Sage Posture", Charlotte's physical body has almost reached the height of a god, coupled with the protection of divine power, the attack under the legend does not want to break Charlotte's defense at all.
Being able to make her feel hot shows that these rays are enough to threaten the legend.
She immediately chose to let go and directly threw those energies back:
"These things...... Keep it for yourselves. ”
Almost instantly, thirty-six red rays were thrown back by Charlotte, almost in the same direction as they came.
The ray passed through the gargoyles' necks and severed their heads.
Eighteen hideous heads tumbled to the ground, their scarlet eyes faded as their bodies erupted in cobweb-like cracks that eventually collapsed completely.
Seeing this scene, Jurst was also stunned, and his gaze at Charlotte became more and more awe-inspiring.
He knew that His True Ancestor's Crown was very strong, and he also knew that these gargoyles were definitely not the opponents of His True Ancestor's Crown.
But he didn't expect that the strength of the True Ancestor Crown had recovered to such an extent.
Charlotte may not know, and even many of the Ness clan's bloodlines don't know much, but as an early third-generation bloodline, Jurst knows the details of these gargoyles.
These gargoyles are all good things left behind by Cauchy's crown back then, and with the magic energy array, they are enough monsters to easily suppress the legend!
Yurst knew that the power of the True Ancestor Crown was still recovering, and the True Ancestor Crown also had a natural bloodline suppression of the Blood Clan, but the Gargoyle was not a Blood Clan.
These puppet lives...... It was originally specially designed to deter those high-level blood clans who rebelled.
But now...... With just a single look, they are instantly killed by the attacks they launch!
Thinking of the time when he was on the sea, the True Ancestor said a few words and drank back the sea giant beast Kraken who had devoured the gods......
Jurst couldn't help but look at Charlotte, and his heart was surging:
The strength of the True Ancestor's Crown...... I'm afraid it's really reverted to the level of mythology!
And when Jurst's eyes looked at the ruined gargoyles, he was even more certain.
Without him, although His True Ancestor Crown killed the gargoyles in an instant with his overwhelming strength, he did not destroy the heads of these gargoyles.
In other words, the soul cores of these gargoyles are still there, and they can still be repaired as long as they are replaced with new bodies and inscriptions.
This clearly leaves room for repair.
Take a small peek at the big, and the true ancestor is crowned...... It's really not that you want to exterminate the Ness Clan, but I'm afraid you really want to bring the Ness Clan back under your command!
True Ancestor Crown...... It's really different, He's more forgiving and merciful!
At this thought, the pressure and guilt in Yurst's heart were also reduced a little, and the gaze that looked at Charlotte also brought more respect and gratitude.
Charlotte glanced at this guy inexplicably, not knowing what kind of wind this guy was smoking again.
However, Jurst's judgment was not wrong.
In a sense, Charlotte's current strength is indeed a myth.
Of course, it's just a demigod, and it also needs to continuously burn divine power.
But...... It's enough to make a big fuss about the base camp of the Ness clan.
As for not destroying the gargoyle's head...... This is purely because Yulster has too much brain, and the truth is that Charlotte doesn't know and doesn't think much.
She just threw it back the same way and attacked it, so she lowered her head and aimed at the larger body of the stone statue.
Of course, if Charlotte knew the secret of the gargoyle, there was a good chance that she would indeed make the same choice, and Jurster was actually right to make up a little bit of brain, Charlotte really did not plan to exterminate the Ness clan, but hoped to be able to co-opt.
"Clear...... Failed ......"
"Start...... Level 1 Alert Alert ......"
An intermittent sound came from the gargoyle's mouth, and at the end of the light went out, the gargoyles gave a warning.
Pillars of red light centered on the magic array rushed into the sky, bursting into blood-colored fireworks.
Charlotte glanced up and didn't stop.
Soon, the residence of the Ness clan was lively.
The Bloodborns who lived in the castle were finally alarmed.
The first to dispatch was a group of gray-clothed transcendents, led by several black-robed blood clans.
Charlotte glanced at it and judged that this should be the garrison of the Ness clan mentioned by Yurst on the road, consisting of mid-to-low-level bloods and blood servants.
Of course, it is said that it is a garrison, but in fact, the strength of these blood clans is very low, and the highest one is only a viscount, and most of them are just barons.
This kind of strength is at most just a miscellaneous task for the high-level blood clan, maintaining the security of the stronghold, and acting as cannon fodder in case something happens.
However, it is those blood servants whose strength is not bad.
Their strength is even higher than that of those who lead the team, and the weakest one also has Silver Moon, and there is even no lack of Blazing Sun.
They also wore chains on their bodies, and they looked less like garrisons and more like prisoners.
Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.
This should be some transcendent people who were forcibly adopted as blood servants by the blood clan, and the source of their power is not the blood clan, but still mainly the extraordinary power they possessed before becoming blood servants.
The so-called Ness Clan garrison, these transcendents who are blood servants are probably the real main force.
No, after noticing the situation on the teleportation array's side, they quickly rushed over.
The Bloodline Clan at the head was quite young, and his expression changed suddenly after seeing the gargoyles shattered into the ground around the teleportation array.
"Who dares to cause trouble at Ness Castle? Ness servants, take them down quickly! ”
He looked at Charlotte and Jurst hidden in the shadows, and commanded the Blood Servants.
Obviously, the young Bloodclan didn't realize what it meant that the gargoyles guarding the teleportation array were destroyed.
"Wait!"
Seeing that the blood servants were about to make a move, Jurst hurriedly shouted.
With that, he stepped forward and stepped out of the shadows.
"You ...... Lord Jurst? ”
The Bloodline led by him was stunned for a moment.
Jurst nodded.
He glanced at Charlotte, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"This is a friend of Lord Bardock in the past, go and tell Lord Bardock that someone has come to visit the Ness Clan."
"Lord Bardock's ...... Old friend? ”
The low-level bloods looked at each other.
They hesitated, unsure of what to do for a moment, until a deep voice came from behind the garrison:
"Jurst? You guy, when did you come back quietly? ”
It was a Count of Blood.
A high-ranking Bloodline was alarmed, and the Bloodlines and Transcendents of the garrison moved out of the way on their own.
Seeing the high-level bloodline that appeared, Yurst's eyes froze:
"Harris? Are you the person on duty this month? ”
Taking a deep breath, he said:
"Harris, I'll mention the usual grievances later, if a distinguished guest is visiting, go and tell Lord Bardock."
"Guest?"
The Count of Blood, named Harris, narrowed his eyes.
He glanced at the gargoyle fragments on the ground, then at Charlotte in the shadows, and sneered:
"I think...... It's a villain, right? ”
"I heard that you have boarded Castre's battleship, but I didn't expect to be able to come back, presumably you are next to the real one, it should be the messenger from Castelle, the follower of the mysterious prince, right?"
"Hmph, Jurst, I actually joined forces with outsiders to destroy the guardian stone statue of my Ness clan, what Lord Alec said is really right, you Yorok faction seems to be really anti-minded!"
"Garrison, what are you hesitating about? Don't activate the Imprisonment Circle yet, take them down! ”
Obviously, perhaps because Ness Castle had been peaceful for too long, the Blood Count didn't realize what it meant that the gargoyle shattered so quickly, but only thought that it was done by Yurst, who was of the Ness Clan.
After receiving the order, the garrison of the Ness clan immediately moved into action, and their magic power exploded, rushing towards Charlotte and the two.
"Harris! You...... This idiot! ”
Jurster was in a hurry.
He gritted his teeth and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Charlotte.
"You're also from the Ness Clan, so stay on the sidelines."
Charlotte said.
Jurst only felt a gentle but irresistible force acting on him, preventing him from taking a step forward.
He looked at Charlotte who had crossed him and walked out of the darkness in a daze, realizing that this was the True Ancestor's Crown, considering his special identity and feelings for the Ness Clan, and he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Yurst looked moved, but after a moment of entanglement, he couldn't help but say:
"Really...... My lord, can you let ...... go?"
"Don't worry, you can't die."
Charlotte waved her hand.
Charlotte stepped out of the shadows, and Harris and the garrison saw her clearly.
"Wang ...... King's blood? ”
Seeing Charlotte's almost iconic golden-red pupils, Count Harris's expression changed suddenly.
His face changed almost instantly, and he said sharply:
"It's the remnants of Kirari! Garrison! Take it down quickly! Lawfully kill on sight! ”
After receiving the order of the high-ranking blood clan, the garrison no longer hesitated.
The Extraordinary Blood Servants roared angrily, bursting with various colors of magical brilliance and rushing towards Charlotte.
Charlotte didn't hide from it.
The attack was instantaneous, almost instantaneous, and she was engulfed in the glow of magic.
"Dead ...... He's dead? ”
The low-level bloodclan who led the team was stunned.
Count Harris's eyes were slightly condensed.
The next moment, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly his expression changed:
"Not good! Hurry back! ”
However, it was already too late.
A burst of crimson light spread rapidly around the attack of the transcendent blood servants.
Swept away by that brilliance, the blood servants only felt that the blood veins of their bodies were instantly frozen, and even the extraordinary power was sealed almost instantly.
"Puff puff ......"
Almost before they could react to what was happening, they all lost their strength, and even the strength to stand seemed to be deprived, and one by one they all fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
Seeing this scene, the low-level blood clans who led the team were all stunned.
"Advanced Hemagglutination! You are...... High Bloodline! ”
Count Harris's gaze froze again.
Charlotte walked slowly towards him.
Her eyes swept over the surrounding castles and asked:
"What about Bardock? Where is he. ”
"Presumptuous! How dare you call Lord Bardock by his name! ”
Harris was furious.
He shouted angrily, the magic power on his body surged, his eyes turned red, the bat's wings behind him opened, and the power of blood burst out, and he personally rushed towards Charlotte, and his clawed hands grabbed Charlotte's neck.
A bright red glow spread around him, quickly forming an enchantment that enveloped Harris and Charlotte.
At this moment, this Blood Count actually directly exerted his own spiritual force field!
The coercion and magic that far surpassed those extraordinary blood servants exploded in an instant, pressing down on Charlotte at the center of the storm.
"Puff puff ......"
Under that astonishing coercion, several low-level bloodlines even knelt directly on the ground.
Even Eulst, who was also the Earl of Blood, was also stunned after feeling Harris's terrifying power.
However, Charlotte still didn't act.
She just looked up and gave Harris a faint look.
It was just a calm glance.
However, Count Harris, who was looking at her, only felt as if his spiritual power had crashed into an impregnable mountain.
Under that calm gaze, he only felt that the magic power he had just exploded was suddenly out of control, and the power of his high-spirited bloodline was instantly betrayed and out of control.
His transformation, his spiritual force field, the power of his bloodline, and his magic power were instantly lifted as if he had received a command from above.
Then...... The Blood Earl slid to the ground with a thud and fell directly in front of Charlotte in a rather dramatic and comical motion, like a mortal.
The surrounding low-level blood clans looked dazed.
They didn't even see what was going on.
From their point of view, they only saw the awe-inspiring and mysterious Earl scream in anger and burst out with incredible terror, and then ...... But he lost all his strength for a while, and fell into the mud.
Jurster knew what was going on.
He looked at Charlotte's back, his gaze growing in awe.
True Ancestor!
This is the power of the True Ancestor!
True Ancestor is the source of power for all blood clans, and True Ancestor has absolute blood suppression for any blood clan!
If it was placed in the past, the suppression of other blood clans under the True Ancestor Crown might not be so strong, but now, the strength of the True Ancestor Crown has been greatly restored, obviously...... She has once again become the king above all the bloodlines!
Yurst's expression was extremely excited.
At the same time, after the initial stunned and confused, after realizing what had happened, Earl Harris's eyes gradually widened.
He lay on the ground, looking up with difficulty......
Looking at Charlotte's beautiful cold face, looking at her long silver hair, looking at her trademark golden-red pupils, Earl Harris's face gradually turned pale.
His lips moved slightly, his pupils dilated, and even his voice trembled:
"This ...... This power, you ...... No...... You...... You are ......"
Charlotte glanced at him lightly:
"Where's Bardock?"
Count Harris opened his mouth, but did not answer.
Charlotte frowned slightly:
"Is it guarded by words and spirits......
She muttered.
"Forget it, I'll find it myself."
Shaking her head slightly, Charlotte withdrew her gaze.
Her gaze looked around, she took a deep breath, and burst out the bloodline aura that her body possessed that was close to legend:
"Captain Bardock, the deceased is visiting, please come out and talk about it!"
The coercion, which was a little more powerful than that of Count Harris, spread, and the low-level bloods who were just about to get up and run away slipped to their knees again.
And this time, the provocative coercion finally angered the Ness Clan who did not come forward.
"Presumptuous!"
"Where did the blood clan come from, and they actually provoked in the domain of my Ness clan!"
With a roar of rage, a powerful aura rose from the castles.
Soon, one after another, more than thirty bright red rays of light descended on the square in the center of the station.
All of them are high-level blood clans, and there is even a blood duke whose breath is like the abyss.
Obviously, Charlotte really stabbed the "hornet's nest" this time.
And with the appearance of high-level blood clans, more blood clans poured out from various castles.
In a few moments, Charlotte and Jurst were surrounded by members of the Ness Clan.
The Head of the Blood Duke is a Bloodline who looks quite old.
He looked gloomy and looked at Charlotte with hostility in his eyes.
I saw his gaze wander between Jurster and Charlotte, and then sneered:
"Your Excellency must be an emissary from Castel, right? Hehe, I really didn't expect that the prince behind Castel turned out to be the Kirari clan. ”
"Your Excellency, I don't know how you have mastered the spell that can seal the power of the blood clan, but don't think that with the support of the gods, you can do whatever you want in the Ness clan!"
After that, I saw that this Duke of Blood snorted coldly, and the magic power on his body surged, and he actually planned to do it directly.
Charlotte sighed.
Her gaze quickly turned cold, and the aura on her body suddenly rose again.
The divine power of blood surged, and the vast pressure erupted like a gushing volcano, and the sense of oppression from the soul and bloodline instantly descended on every Ness blood clan.
Immediately afterward, all the Nesses clans heard a cold command, which resounded in their minds:
"Get on your knees!"
"Puff ......"
"Puff ......"
"Puff ......"
“……”
A flurry of knees falling to the ground.
Like cutting wheat, the Ness blood clan who appeared fell to their knees in that irresistible life, and even the duke, who was the most powerful and had just burst out of power, couldn't bear the suffocating coercion, and knelt directly on the ground.
And after seeing that all the Ness blood clans knelt down, Yurst, who was not "cared for" by Charlotte's coercion, panicked, and quickly knelt down behind Charlotte.
Quiescence.
Deathly silence.
The Bloodclan looked at the only girl standing in horror, not even reacting to what was happening.
And this time, the remaining dukes of the Ness clan ...... Finally completely shocked.
One powerful aura after another descended and appeared in the square.
Grand Elder Duke Robin, Duke Yorok, Duke Alec...... The real high-level members of the Ness clan have appeared.
Their expressions were more serious than ever, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they united to confront Charlotte's coercion.
Until...... A deep voice came:
"Both...... Stop. ”
Hearing this, the dukes of the Ness clan were all stunned.
Charlotte also turned her head to look at the source of the voice.
Her heart moved slightly, slightly weakening the divine power released, and feeling the weakened coercion, the Ness Clan also struggled to stand up and get out of the way to the sides.
Soon, a "knight" in armor appeared in Charlotte's field of vision.
Looking at the similar appearance in the memory, Charlotte was also in a trance for a while.
And when the knight saw Charlotte's appearance clearly, his eyes also froze slightly.
In the shocked, confused and puzzled eyes of all the Ness blood clans, I saw the "knight" take a step forward, suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Charlotte, and bowed down directly:
"Former free city-state...... Commander of the 3rd Army, Bardock...... Meet the Ancestor ......"

It's truly a 2-in-1! (Chest up!) )
