Chapter Ninety-Six: Welcome, Mr. Edward
Manor House of the Marquis de Bach, third floor, maid's room.
It was late at night, and the crimson moon was like water, spilling into the room through the light gauze curtains.
A figure, covered with a quilt, listened to the constant sound of fighting in the garden, and its body trembled slightly, like a frightened fawn.
This is a small room that belongs to this figure.
As servants, generally speaking, they all sleep in the outer building, and only those personal servants are eligible to sleep in a separate small room in the main building.
The two exterior buildings are adjacent to the main building, and only the first floor has access to the main building.
At nightfall, few servants walked around the main building, and it seemed a little empty and deserted.
Anna, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep a little after tossing and turning.
The sound of fierce fighting was constantly heard outside the manor, which scared her a little.
It is clear that thieves have invaded the manor.
"I don't need you to entertain, you can stay in the maid's room on the third floor and rest, and give you a holiday."
Recall what Hodge had said, and his demeanor.
Anna, the personal maid, suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and muttered as if she had just woken up from a dream: "It turns out ...... The young master had known for a long time that there would be an enemy invasion...... He's protecting me? ”
"It's definitely safer to stay in the main building than in the outer building, after all, the Marquis and his wife are ...... in the main building."
"Wait, that young master is not in the main building, he has gone to deal with the enemy?"
Anna was suddenly a little worried about the safety of Young Master Hodge, after all, he was not yet an adult, and he was not a powerful and extraordinary person, what could he do in the face of a fierce and bold enemy?
As far as Anna knows, the young master is not a knight, nor is he an extraordinary person who controls mysterious powers such as magicians.
He's just an ordinary person.
Thanks to the special environment of the Marquis's Mansion, Anna, an ordinary girl, also has a certain understanding of the hidden world and the extraordinary.
Of course, this is just a daily experience of seeing extraordinary people use their special abilities.
Anna obviously doesn't understand the real hidden world, the definition of the extraordinary.
With her knowledge, she knew that these powerful knights and magicians were all upper-class figures in the empire, and no matter where they went to the party, they would become dazzling protagonists.
"Young master, you must be safe......"
Anna clasped her hands together and silently prayed for Young Master Hodge.
At this moment, the crimson moonlight projected in writhed strangely, and the bloody figure gradually stood up from the moonlight, sticky and scarlet, like a demon crawling out of the blood.
If this scene is seen by others, it will inevitably cry out.
The figure stained with blood-colored filth gradually shrunk and collapsed, becoming a strange blood-colored ball of flesh.
In the ball of flesh, a crack opened, revealing a scarlet eye as blood, staring at Anna on the bed.
Anna felt a little, turned her head suddenly, saw the ball of flesh and scarlet eyes like blood, and immediately showed a frightened expression, she just wanted to shout, but was controlled by an unknown force, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
Under her terrified gaze, the ball of flesh burrowed into her body little by little......
……
Time passed, and seven or eight days passed.
The Empire's reaction to the invasion of the Marquis Bach's manor house was somewhat subtle.
On the one hand, the top brass of the empire expressed their anger and cooperated with the three major churches to jointly encircle and suppress the blasphemers, the cultists of the Dark Night Church, and the traitorous Bishop Johns of the Machine Holy See, but on the other hand, they did not make any other moves because the plan was exposed, but fell silent.
Arnold Abraham, the city councilor, did not move, and continued to go to the office building every day to deal with government affairs, as if nothing had happened.
But only Hodge knows that there is a turbulent undercurrent hidden beneath the outer calm.
At night, a crimson full moon hangs high.
It's a full moon night again.
Once again, Hodge was enveloped in an endless black mist and escaped into this mysterious space with thirteen gates.
Time flies, and Hodge sees these quaint, old and mysterious gates again, and there is no tension or panic in his heart.
Truth be told, Hodge is quite grateful for this mysterious space.
If it weren't for its magical power, how could Hodge join the Blood Moon Gathering and become a member of the Blood Clan's secret organization, how could he know the truth of the matter in advance, and how could he use the evil of the Blood Cup to kill the mutated O'Neill and control the initiative?
It all stems from this mysterious dark space.
Sometimes, Hodge even suspects that his own time travel, his own return to the past, also comes from this mysterious space.
"The Blood Moon Party is about to start again...... What surprises can this party bring to yourself? ”
Hodge smiled and muttered softly, striding into the mysterious door that had belonged to the Blood Cup.
……
The ancestor of the blood clan, Lilith, the kingdom of God, Lensiyi.
Hodge was once again wrapped in a mysterious power, and he didn't care, silently walking on the empty and dry riverbed.
As Hodge progressed, an illusory blood-colored shadow appeared on his body, his face gradually blurred, and his dark pupils gradually dyed a trace of scarlet, and the outfit on his body became blurred.
This mysterious space once again concealed his true face and outfit, and even the pitch black of his eyes was rendered scarlet.
"When I first entered here, I was attracted by the minaret palace, but I didn't notice that the environment here seems to be a little special......
Hodge looked at the dry riverbed around him and muttered.
As Hodge observed and examined, he found that the environment of the Lensy Palace was very special, the dry riverbed was covered with various patterns of patterns, intertwined and overlapped, like the roots of trees naturally extended, and like the blood vessel distribution map evolved by some kind of living being.
"There seem to be a lot of secrets hidden in the divine realm of this ancestor of the blood clan, not only the minaret palace and the upside-down hangman, but even the seemingly calm riverbed ground seems to indicate some kind of secret."
"After the blood cup was taken by himself, many secrets were exposed."
"I don't know if this ancestor of the blood clan is dead? Or is it sleeping? ”
"You let me pretend to be a descendant of the Blood......"
Hodge thought to himself, silently withdrawing his gaze and returning to the spire palace.
This is a dark Gothic-style minaret, with an upside-down figure hanging from the top of the minaret, and a dark red blood moon hangs high in the sky, reflecting on the black buildings, setting off everything in front of you with a very mysterious background.
At the Blood Moon Party, he is no longer Hodge Dickens, the only heir to the Marquis of Bach, but the only descendant of the Death Clan of the Blood Clan, Mr. Edward.
Hodge didn't stop and strode into the palace of the spires, into the meeting place.
"Welcome again, Mr. Edward......"
