In the world of Miria, although astrological magic is a niche, it is not uncommon.
Many wizards will study astrology to some extent, or at least be able to perform certain spell divinations through observation, thus improving the success rate of magic research.
Looking at the room full of astrology magic books, it is obvious that the owner of the study is quite obsessed with astrology magic.
And the one who is obsessed with astrology magic and is called "Lord Earl" by the Blood Demon Cultists...
The direction is quite clear.
Especially when Charlotte picked up the planetarium and saw the Bold family crest on it...
"Tulips... Count."
Charlotte frowned.
The Count of Tulip is very famous in the Principality of Bordeaux.
However, this was not due to his status as the heir to the original duchy, but because of two embarrassing incidents of his.
One thing was that soon after he was named heir and went to the tulip fiefdom, less than three months later he aroused the anger of the people and was driven back by a riot.
The other thing was that he was obsessed with astrology and magic, and didn't care about politics at all. He even ruined the political marriage that Duke of Bold had tried so hard to find for him, which made the Duke so angry that he almost broke his legs...
It can be said that although the Earl of Tulip has a noble status, he has almost become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle of Borde and his presence is not high.
Even Charlotte only had some impression of him because he was the original body's cousin and they often interacted when they were young.
However, such a person is actually a collaborator of the Blood Demon Cult
camouflage
Has he been pretending all along
Charlotte was genuinely surprised.
However, after thinking deeply, she had a sudden realization...
Charlotte knew that the nobles who were in contact with the Blood Demon Cult and secretly assassinated her were aiming to gain control of the Territory of Castel.
And if we consider the issue of bloodline inheritance, if she really died and the Territory of Castel was taken back by the Duke's Palace, the first heir would not be the Duke, but the Count of Tulip.
Because he is Aunt Charlotte's son, because he is the closest blood relative of the Castel family!
Everyone knows about this.
But no one believed that in the unlikely event that the earldom would end up in the hands of Count Tulip.
Even if he would inherit it, it would probably be taken back by the old duke soon, just like the Earldom of Tulip.
Because he acted so trashy.
But now, Charlotte suddenly discovered that this earl, who was obsessed with astrology and had no sense of responsibility in the eyes of the public, might have been pretending all along!
waste
If he secretly brought together the nobles of the principality through the Drunken Dream Salon, if he secretly had dealings with the Blood Demon Cult and the High Priest, then... he is not a waste!
"It turned out to be Count Tulip... It seems that the entire noble circle of Bolder has been deceived by him. I'm afraid even the Duke has been deceived by him. He has been hiding his incompetence all along."
Sebastian was also quite surprised, with a look of amazement.
"It should be him. Only someone of his status could obtain the Kingdom's standard crossbow and frame the Duke's Mansion... No, or to be more precise, he should frame the Duke."
Charlotte groaned.
"It seems that the Bold family is not as united as the outside world thinks..."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes.
"Master, what should we do next? Ambush here and wait for him to come back?"
he asked respectfully.
Charlotte sensed the remaining time for the liberation of her True Ancestor.
During the time she controlled the blood servant, the time it took for the True Ancestor to be released dropped by another 0.1s from 58.5s.
Obviously, although she did not completely liberate the True Ancestor, consuming the blood power to control the blood servants outside the door would still reduce the time limit for liberating the True Ancestor.
After scanning the study room and confirming that there were no fragments of holy scriptures, Charlotte thought for a moment and said:
"No need. The monk may escape but the temple cannot. The Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy is more important."
"We continue to pursue the secrets of the Blood Demon Cult."
After confirming the identity of the mastermind behind Zuimeng Salon, the two men withdrew from the study.
This raid went more smoothly than Charlotte had imagined. I have to say... When you have enough power, many things that seemed quite difficult in the past will become simple.
Even if the powerful strength gained is only temporary.
Back in the corridor, more than twenty blood servants saluted Charlotte respectfully.
And when the girl walked out of the study, she once again saw the little girl in the white dress flash by and disappear in the other direction of the corridor.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
"Let's go there and have a look."
Following the figure of the mysterious little girl, Charlotte came to the other end of the corridor.
This should be right below the Zuimeng Salon lobby. What comes into view is a stone door engraved with all kinds of intricate magical patterns.
As soon as she arrived here, Charlotte felt an indescribable sense of eeriness, as if gusts of cold air were spreading out through the cracks in the stone door.
Sebastian took a step forward and studied the magic patterns on the stone door. He raised his eyebrows:
"Master, this is a sealed door. There must be something sealed behind it. And... there are warning magic patterns on the seal. If you enter without permission, you may alert the person behind the scenes."
"I'm ashamed... I haven't done in-depth research on sealing magic. Perhaps I still need you to help me unlock the seal and the warning magic pattern."
Sebastian said respectfully.
But I also don't know how to seal magic. In fact, I only know low-level majesty and resurrection of the dead...
Charlotte complained in her mind.
However, just because she doesn't do it doesn't mean others won't do it.
"Open this door and don't alert the warning magic pattern."
She gave orders to the other two forbidden blood servants who followed her.
They were the ones standing guard in front of the stone gate just now.
After hearing the girl's words, the two first-level forbidden blood servants of the Stars quickly trembled and once again fell into the struggle of the soul contract.
But in the end, Charlotte was more powerful.
"yes."
After a trembling, they bowed their heads respectfully, then stepped forward, took out the key from their arms, and inserted it into the stone door.
The next second, the magic patterns on the stone door suddenly lit up, emitting a deep glow.
With a teeth-grinding creaking sound, the stone door burst open, and a monstrous smell of blood and murderous aura gushed out, causing Sebastian and Charlotte to change color.
When the stone door was completely opened, the two of them could see clearly what was inside.
This is an underground cave.
The dome of the cave is painted with intricate magical patterns and various evil and corrupt images.
They spread from all sides to under the cave.
The ground was covered with countless white bones.
In the center of the cave was a huge pool of blood, emitting a strong smell of blood.
The blood pool was designed to look like an eye, which was extremely weird and evil.
"It's the Devil's Eye! This is the symbol of the Blood Demon Grand Duke Abaddon!"
Sebastian was slightly solemn.
Blood Demon Duke Abaddon
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
Her eyes quickly fell on the pool of blood.
In the center of the blood pool, there are piles of bones, forming the "eye" of the child's hole. In the center of the child's hole, there is a black coffin, exuding a heart-wrenching atmosphere.
For some reason, looking at the coffin, Charlotte felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Charlotte looked around, trying to find the little girl again, but found that she had lost any trace of her.
After thinking for a while, the girl withdrew her gaze and looked at the blood servant behind her again.
There was light in her eyes:
"Tell me, what is the Blood Demon Cult planning?"
After hearing the girl's order, the blood servants trembled again.
This time, their shaking was even more violent than the first time.
Their expressions were ferocious and their eyes were rolled back, and Charlotte felt that their souls were fluctuating violently and they began an unprecedented crazy struggle.
It was obvious that Charlotte's question had touched directly upon their deepest taboos.
Charlotte exerted a little force and slightly increased the output of the blood power.
The next second, the blood servants trembled even more violently.
Not only that, Charlotte even sensed that the blood servant contract in their souls began to glow faintly, as if it would tear their souls apart at any time.
She was startled and stopped questioning immediately.
It is obvious that the soul contracts of these blood servants are even built around keeping the secrets here. If Charlotte forces the answer, even if she gets the result, it will inevitably alarm the Blood Demon High Priest behind the scenes.
Charlotte didn't want to alarm the high priest until she had no other choice.
Taking her eyes off the blood servant, Charlotte set her gaze on the dry bones in the cave.
The vampire's keen spiritual sense and the unique perception of the dark way allowed her to clearly sense that there were still a large number of lost souls wandering around here.
Thinking of the various phantoms she had just seen in the hall, her heart moved slightly and she had some ideas.
Charlotte came to countless dry bones, gently closed her eyes, and spread her consciousness over the dry bones.
Then, communicate with the power of blood again.
Under Sebastian's awed gaze, a trace of ancient and vast aura slowly rose from Charlotte's body and disappeared in an instant.
The crimson light bloomed from the girl's center, quickly covering the entire cave.
Instantly, Charlotte felt a huge memory mixed with overwhelming hatred, fear, and despair flooding into her mind...
The world before her eyes shattered.
