-138- Under the Crown of the True Ancestor?!
Begin...... Under the crown of the ancestors?
Seeing Bardock's prostration, and hearing his title, the surrounding Ness's descendants were all stunned.
Especially the high-ranking bloodlines of the earl and above.
They looked at Elder Bardock who knelt down in shock, and then followed Bardock's gaze and looked at Charlotte who had received Bardock's salute with a calm face.
Under the hazy moonlight, Charlotte's silver hair fluttered, and her golden-red eyes seemed to have a terrifying magic, which made people's eyes can't help but sink into it.
The black dress woven with thorns and roses was noble and mysterious, adding a bit of dignity and majesty to Charlotte's already deep and dark atmosphere.
And when the Duke of Blood, who was dominated by the Grand Elder Duke Robin and Duke Yorok, looked at Charlotte again, he only felt that his consciousness was in a trance, and those memories that had been so long ago that they had almost forgotten seemed to be reactivated by Elder Bardock's words...... They have reappeared.
In the hazy moonlight, in front of the knight who was kneeling on one knee, the tall, beautiful, and mysterious silver-haired girl slowly overlapped with a vague figure in their memory, and the figure ...... It also gradually became clear.
Magnificent silver hair......
Golden-red pupils......
A black goddess dress woven with thorns and roses......
No......
This...... This image ......
And this emblem that they didn't realize who it belonged to until their memories were erased......
Him, Him, Him......
He is ......!
"True Ancestor...... Your Majesty! ”
Grand Elder Duke Robin's voice trembled, his face looked frightened, and he said a word that came to the minds of all high-level blood clans at this moment.
True Ancestor!
It turned out to be the True Ancestor!
Hearing the Great Elder's whisper, the surrounding middle and low-level blood clans finally reacted.
They looked frightened almost at the same time, and subconsciously took a step back, and the "circle" that originally surrounded Charlotte expanded almost instantly.
The bloodlines of the earl and duke levels also changed their faces drastically.
Their spirits tensed instantly, and the magic on their bodies became active in an instant, like cats with upside-down hair, as if they were about to attack in the next moment, of course...... It's also possible to turn around and run away.
Charlotte glanced at Grand Elder Robin with some surprise.
And this glance almost made the Dukes of Blood jump in shock.
Like those low-level bloods, they also subconsciously took a step back.
Wherever Charlotte's gaze swept, the high-ranking bloodlines retreated.
The fear and jealousy that came from the heart, as if it came from the soul, almost overflowed on their faces.
It's no better than a mouse meets a cat.
Seeing the Ness's bloodlines explode like frightened rabbits, Bardock, who was on one knee, was suddenly silent for some reason.
For a moment, Charlotte, who was facing him, seemed to see a trace of remorse and unnaturalness on the expressionless face under the armor of the "knight".
Of course, the unnaturalness only disappeared for a moment, as if it were just an illusion.
I saw Bardock frowning, his scarlet eyes looked at the surrounding blood clan with dissatisfaction, and his majestic voice was heavy:
"What are you doing here? When you see the first ancestor Cain, why don't you come and pay a visit? ”
Bye-bye-bye...... Meet?!
Meet the True Ancestor?!
Didn't they join forces to besiege or run away while He was alone?!
The Knights looked at Bardock incredulously, their eyes widening.
"Ba ...... Lord Bardock, He ...... He is the True Ancestor! ”
Duke Yoroc couldn't help but repeat a sentence, and his tone changed excitedly.
For a moment, Bardock seemed to be silent again.
After a moment, he continued:
"I ...... Of course, I know that the first ancestor is the true ancestor, but ...... His Majesty is not the true ancestor as you know it. ”
"I know what you're afraid of, as the guardian elder of the Ness clan, I, Bardock, can be in charge here, Your Majesty...... Not an enemy, but a superior whom we should respect. ”
Not the true ancestor in cognition?
Listening to Bardock's words, the Ness clan was stunned.
They looked at Charlotte again, looking a little dazed for a moment.
Especially those of high blood.
Looking at the "girl" who looked almost exactly the same as the one in their gradually recovering memory, and the Thorn Rose who finally remembered where they came from, their CPUs were about to be burned by Bardock's words.
Wait a minute......
Isn't the first ancestor the true ancestor, and isn't the true ancestor the first ancestor?
"True Ancestor" ...... Doesn't it mean "the real ancestor"?
Among them...... Is there a difference?
Could it be that there can still be two true ancestors?
And Cain...... Isn't this one of the most commonly used pseudonyms in the past under the True Ancestor's crown?
The high-level bloodline's expression was dazed.
That bewildered expression...... It's like hearing someone say, "Tomatoes are tomatoes, but tomatoes aren't tomatoes."
Only Duke Robin, the Grand Elder of the Ness Clan, fell into deep thought after listening to Bardock's words.
He looked thoughtfully at his elder, and then at the girl who could resonate with her blood just by standing there.
After hesitating for a moment, he also followed Bardock and bowed down:
"Meet...... Under the crown of the ancestors! ”
This worship once again stunned the Ness's bloodline.
However, the rest of the Bloodclan also reacted quickly.
The society of the blood clan is highly hierarchical.
Although they still haven't figured out what the situation is, and although they don't know why the legendary terrifying ancestor didn't immediately liquidate them after he reappeared, since even the highest-ranking Elder Bardock and the Great Elder have bowed down, then they have nothing to hesitate about.
So, with a bang...... From duke to earl, from earl to viscount, from viscount to baron, and inferior blood and blood servants, they all bowed down to Charlotte.
Only Alec, the Bloodline Duke from Luna Island, stood still.
However, when Bardock cast a sharp gaze, the young duke hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly bowed down.
Hundreds of Ness's bloodlines bowed down in unison, and a not-so-neat voice rang out in the square:
"Meet...... The Ancestor ...... under the crown"
Seeing the Ness's bloodlines kneeling collectively, Bardock's expression eased.
He exhaled lightly and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Charlotte:
"Your Majesty, please."
Charlotte bowed slightly.
While things turned out beyond her expectations, and Bardock's reaction and the collective prostrations of the Ness clan had overloaded her CPU a bit, she knew ...... At this time, he must maintain his majestic personality.
Of course, at the moment when the blood divine power was used, the "Sage Posture" came, and the absolute bloodline suppression was enough to make all the bloodlines close to her feel the pressure from the bloodline and soul.
Accompanied by Bardock, Charlotte walked generously towards the most imposing central castle of Ness's residence.
And the Ness clan also consciously made way for her.
Jurst, behind Charlotte, hesitated.
However, after noticing the gaze that made his scalp tingle faintly cast by the bloodies around him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly chased after him.
Only Duke Yorok's eyes widened again, and his expression was extremely wonderful as he watched his family's most valued descendant follow behind the "True Ancestor" like a fart.
The Nesses silently shifted their gaze and looked at Yorok again.
Duke of Joroc: ......
"Look...... What to see?! I don't know anything! ”
He dropped a sentence a little unnaturally, and then quickly got up and followed, and at the same time did not forget to drop a sentence:
"What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you hurry up and take a look! True Ancestor ...... True Ancestor Crown...... It seems to be a little different from the past. ”
In the end, his own voice was a little empty.
The bloodlines looked at the Great Elder.
Grand Elder Robin bowed slightly.
As a result, many of the bloodlines also got up and followed.
……
Charlotte enters the central castle of the Ness clan.
The layout of the central castle was quite familiar to her, and she soon realized that it was supposed to be based on the Dark Night Castle.
Her gaze fell almost naturally on the place that should have belonged to the Blood Throne.
There is also a throne there, but the emblem depicted not the Thorn Rose, but the stars and the Blood Moon.
It was the emblem of Cauchy the Stargazer.
Charlotte paused, then walked straight over and sat down on the throne.
Well...... I haven't done anything else this time, but I sat on the throne first.
Charlotte took her seat, and so did the Nesses, of course...... The people who came in this time were all middle- and high-level bloods, there were too many bloodlines here, and there was no place for low-level bloodlines to stand in the castle.
Inside the castle, you can hear the falling pins, and there is silence.
The Ness bloodline looked at Charlotte on the throne, and they didn't dare to look at her, only at the corners of her clothes, and at the same time, they were still tense and nervous.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely stagnant.
Bardock looked at the nobles who had followed, and his expression was a little hesitant.
He pondered for a moment and said to the Great Elder Robin:
"Robin, I need to talk to His Majesty the Ancestor about some things alone, you can take everyone out first."
As he spoke, he paused, and added:
"I'll explain everything that happened tonight to you later."
Hearing Bardock's order, Grand Elder Robin nodded and motioned for the other Bloodlines to exit the hall.
Only the Duke of Yoroc did not act.
His gaze was fixed on Jurst, his round eyes as if to say, "You bastard, should you give me an explanation?"
Jurst instantly went numb.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said cautiously:
"Ba ...... Lord Bardock, can I stay? ”
Bardock frowned and said:
"You go out first, too."
Charlotte glanced at him, knowing that Bardock should have something very important to say, so she waved her hand and motioned for Jurst to step back first.
I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime, and since I have decided to show up as a "true ancestor", the relationship between Jurst and her can't be hidden.
This guy ...... Sooner or later, you still have to face the "questioning" of the Ness bloodline.
Of course, Jurst is Charlotte's blood dependent, and under this aura, his life will not be in danger.
As for how to "tell the truth", it's up to Jurst himself, and Charlotte can't help much.
At this point, in fact, when Charlotte was brought here, Jurst was already mentally prepared.
Of course, being mentally prepared is being mentally prepared, and when it really comes to this time, it will still be numb.
Under the orders of the two bigwigs, Yurst had to retreat.
Feeling the gaze cast around him, his whole body was about to stiffen.
The rest of the Bloods departed, leaving only Charlotte and Bardock in the hall.
After making sure that the soundproofing ban in the hall was working properly, Bardock looked slightly relieved.
The legion commander took off his helmet, revealing a familiar face, and his originally majestic and cold expression was instantly shattered.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking palpitating, and then breathed a long sigh of relief in Charlotte's strange gaze, and said with a wry smile:
"Whew...... Finally dealing with it, these Ness clan bloodlines are really difficult to deal with, and it is really too much pressure to pretend in front of them......"
After speaking, he looked at Charlotte and said with some excitement:
"Lord Saviour, I didn't expect to see you in this day and age......"
"I can see you...... That's great! ”
Charlotte: ......
Feign...... Packed up?
She suddenly realized...... It seems that things are not quite what I imagined.
After a slight groan, Charlotte said:
"Captain Bardock, I have been asleep for quite a short time, and it seems that I have lost some of my memories."
"When did you become the leader of the Ness Clan? Can you tell me...... What the hell is going on? ”
Listening to Charlotte's words, Bardock was stunned:
"You...... Have you lost your memory too?! ”
Well?
Also......?
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
She frowned slightly and looked at Bardock, who sighed and said:
"Savior, it's a long story, and it starts with the protracted war......"
As he spoke, Bardock recounted Charlotte's experience after she disappeared......
The story begins with the Bloodborn, led by Charlotte, defeating the coalition of the Old Gods of Miria.
Charlotte created a second generation of bloodlines with her own bloodline, and relied on the power of the blood clan to completely defeat the old gods in the northern frontier.
The Old Gods have fallen, Northern Xinjiang has officially been included in the sphere of influence of the Free City-State Alliance, and the Bloods have finally stepped onto the world stage.
And Bhakda finally grew all the way in the flames of war, broke through the blazing sun, and became a legend.
The alliance of free city-states, which further expanded in power, finally received the attention of the elves, and the war between the main army of the elves and the city-states ...... Imminent.
Hearing this, Charlotte felt more and more wrong.
"Wait...... Do you mean to say that I created the second generation of bloodlines and led you to defeat the Old Gods and fight against the elves in the western part of the continent? ”
Charlotte couldn't help but say.
Bardock nodded, as a matter of course:
"yes."
"What about Lilith? Shouldn't Lilith lead you? ”
Charlotte frowned.
"Lilith? Who's that? ”
Bardock looked dazed.
