Falling Star City, Red Palace Study.

The glow of magic dissipated, the royal power orb on the desk regained its calm, and Charlotte also interrupted the injection of magic and slowly opened her eyes.

Thinking back to the conversation she had just had with the Grand Duke of the Northern Realm through a magical projection, she thought thoughtfully:

"There is no denial, it is an acknowledgment...... It seems that the northern realm does have some dealings with the blood clan of the Way of Flesh, Hortsokshi. ”

"However, the attitude of the Grand Duke of the North is more ambiguous, and the two should probably only cooperate, just like negotiating with me, perhaps their relationship with Khortsosh is more like an ally."

"The Grand Duke of the North wants to unify the faith, and the Khortsosh clan is suppressing the faith in the North, they may have made some kind of exchange of interests, judging from the recent changes in the North, it is likely to be related to the totem beliefs of the various tribes in the North......"

"It's a pity that I still know too little about the North, and I know too little about the Khortsosh clan, Khortsz is the most low-key clan in the Blood Clan, and even Albrecht doesn't know much information......"

Thinking of this, Charlotte shook her head and picked up the information about the Khortsosh clan on the desk again.

This was the information provided by the Ness Clan, and after the Ness Clan surrendered, she ordered them to collect all kinds of information about the Hortsosh Clan.

However, to Charlotte's regret, the Ness clan also has limited information here.

It's not that the Ness clan doesn't know anything about the Khortsosh clan.

In fact, the information provided by the Elders of the Ness Clan is quite rich, including how many legends there are in the Khortsosh clan, what their names are, what their strength is, what their personality is, and so on.

But here's the problem...... The information provided by the Ness clan about the Khortsosh clan is almost all from a thousand years ago.

For nearly a thousand years, the Ness clan had hardly had any contact with this low-key blood clan, even though both sides were in the northwest of the continent, only separated by the strait.

However, it would be a mistake to say that there was no gain, at least Charlotte knew from the Ness clan why this was happening.

A thousand years ago, the Divine Court rose, the Blood Clan was torn apart, and the royal power clan became history under the siege of other Blood clans.

After that, one of the only five remaining princes of the Bloodline, the Scarlet Queen Rowena, announced that she would lead the Hortsosh clan into seclusion.

They cut off all communication with the other clans and retreated to the north for a thousand years...... Never stepped into the secular world again.

No one knows why the leader of the Khortsosh clan, the Scarlet Queen, Rowena, suddenly announced their retreat, or where they retreated.

He is like Artemis, the moon god after the mythical war, as if he lost interest in the continental hegemony in an instant and chose to escape from the world.

In this regard, the Ness clan also did various investigations before its decline, and also tracked the whereabouts of the Hortsosh clan, but in the end nothing was found.

The Hortsosh clan seemed to have vanished out of thin air, only occasionally hearing of their whereabouts.

Duke Robin, the Grand Elder of the Ness Clan, once made a special observation of this, but the result of the observation was eventually covered up.

However, according to Duke Robin's judgment, it is likely that the Hortsosh clan is living in seclusion in some other dimension in the Northlands.

This is also close to Charlotte's speculation.

Charlotte's Crimson Sea can locate the coordinates of all the bloods, but it can't accurately locate the bloodlines of the Khortsosh clan, and can only sense that they are indeed in the Northlands, and if they want to go further, they will be stopped by the barrier that hangs over the Northlands.

As for why the Hortsosh clan went into seclusion...... There is a theory that the Scarlet Queen Rowena was given a way to condense her godhead while besieging the King's Blood Kirari Clan, and then chose to go into seclusion and prepare to become a god.

Furthermore...... It is rumored that during the siege of the royal power clan, the Scarlet Queen took the full three faceless idols in the possession of the royal power clan.

"What I saw that day when I bypassed the ban was probably the retreat of the Khortsosh clan."

"Does the retreat impact the true God...... It's not impossible, especially considering that the prohibition hanging over the northern realm is precisely to prevent the intervention of divine powers......"

"The power of the blood clan comes from the bloodline, and the Hortsosh clan is suspected of collecting the bloodlines of other clans through the Grand Duchy of the North, if the Scarlet Queen is really trying to become a god, it seems to be ...... It's quite possible. ”

"In addition, the Hortsosh clan also has at least three faceless idols......"

"The Faceless Idol contains the power of the law, and I became a demigod and three gods just by relying on two statues...... Could it be that the Scarlet Queen is really attacking the true gods? ”

Thinking back to the various materials she had obtained, Charlotte pondered.

The Khortsosh clan has secrets.

Charlotte is very sure of that.

But unfortunately, this clan is too secretive, and even after collecting multiple intelligences, Charlotte's knowledge is very limited.

"If you want to talk to the Grand Duke of the North, you shouldn't be able to do it in a short time, no...... Since the Khortsosh clan can live in seclusion for thousands of years, they will definitely not reveal their true whereabouts, and if they want to find them, they must first find the blood of the Khortsosh clan. ”

"The ban in the north is too domineering, and it can even interfere with my positioning, if you want to rely on the Blood Sacred Book to find people, I'm afraid I can't do it in a short time, or I have to start from reality......"

"Perhaps, we can find a way through the Free Tribal Alliance."

Charlotte mused.

The Freedom Tribal Alliance has lived in the North for so long, and must have its own channels of information.

After all, they were the descendants of the Free City-State Alliance, and Charlotte did not believe that none of their hundreds of thousands of people knew the whereabouts of the Khortsosh clan.

As for how to settle the Free Tribal Alliance expelled by the Grand Duke of the North, Charlotte also had an idea......

It's very simple, just take them all to the Kingdom of Falling Stars.

Falling Star Island is so big, it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people from the north.

As for missionary ...... There are prohibitions in the north, and the spread of faith has become a vanity for the time being, but the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and the missionary conditions and potential of the Falling Star Kingdom are much better than those in the north.

Bringing hundreds of thousands of believers to the Kingdom of the Falling Stars, with the covert support of the Ness Clan, perhaps Charlotte's missionary work can be further accelerated.

"Wait for Sebas's news, without the obstruction of the Grand Duke of the North, he and the Free Tribal Alliance are safe, presumably I will soon be able to establish a formal connection with the Free Tribal Alliance, with the node of faith, even if there is a ban hanging above the northern border, maybe I can try to infiltrate it......"

Charlotte sighed.

After speaking, she glanced at the royal power ball on the table again, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to play with it, with an inexplicable expression:

"But then again...... There is something about the magic technology of the Falling Star Kingdom, with this magic orb, even mortals can achieve remote communication. ”

"It's just that the cost is a little higher, even if you contact the Mage Tower once, you have to consume at least a thousand pounds worth of Kintana, like today, you can directly contact the north, not to mention burning a magic crystal, the cost of magic crystals is even more sky-high......"

"Hey, Lord Charlotte, if the cost could be lowered, the Falling Star Kingdom would have promoted this technology a long time ago, instead of making a simplified version of the communication crystal among the nobles like now."

The familiar hoarse sound came, and Nice the black cat slipped through the window at some point.

Charlotte glanced at it faintly.

Noticing her unkind expression, Ness subconsciously shuddered.

It swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly backed out, closed the window again, and knocked honestly "tuk tuk".

"Get in."

Charlotte said.

Nice then cautiously flipped in again, with a look of flattery:

"Uh...... I forgot to knock, I really forgot to knock......"

After speaking, it looked at the magic ball in Charlotte's hand with great interest:

"That...... Can I see your balls, Lord Charlotte? ”

Charlotte threw the ball over, and Nice quickly saved it.

It circled around the orb, and it was amazed:

"Be reasonable...... The mages and alchemists here are also powerful enough, and the long-range magic projection is an ability that only legendary mages and gods can play, and like this, it can be used as long as the magic power is consumed, which is also a great innovation, if it can really be promoted...... Gee. ”

Charlotte glanced at Nice with some surprise.

Although this guy has never been in shape, he is still quite superb and proud of his magical attainments, and it is quite rare to be able to get praise from Nice.

However, even Charlotte must admit that the magic guidance technology of the Falling Star Kingdom is indeed superior to that of other countries on the Miriath continent.

Charlotte had already felt this way when she had used the Falling Star's Communication Crystal a long time ago.

Now that she has become the queen of the falling star, and has personally browsed many magical documents and materials in the kingdom of the falling star, Charlotte has a further understanding of this.

In Nice's words, according to the iteration speed of the magic technology on the Miria continent over the years, the magic technology of the Falling Star Kingdom should be ten to twenty years ahead of other countries on the continent, second only to the elves on the Luna Island.

It's a pity that as an island country hanging overseas, the island is very short of Mithril and other necessary resources to create magic props, although the technology is higher, but the overall strength of the falling star has no advantage, combined with the various magic props improved by the elf technology, it is only mostly among the nobles.

This is why the Kingdom of the Falling Stars has always coveted the Castel Territory.

Not only because of the geographical location, but also because the Mithril resources of the Castel Territory are too important for the Falling Star Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's heart moved, and she looked at Nice again:

"Nice, how did you do what I asked you to do?"
