"Blood clan... Undead... In that case, the ones who attacked us might be members of the Blood Demon Cult. Those disgusting guys love to play with corpses the most."
Sebastian said with a slight movement in his heart.
Charlotte frowned.
"These guys are really haunting."
"Hey, after all, the Crescent Kingdom is the main place where the Shedit Clan (the Dark Clan) operates... Master, how do you plan to deal with these traitors who betrayed you?"
Sebastian asked respectfully.
He has already taken on the role of the True Ancestor's butler and regards all vampires who attack Charlotte as traitors of the vampire clan.
As for how to locate the undead controller, Sebastian stopped asking after knowing that the vampires were behind it, because he believed that his great master had his own way.
Apart from anything else, Sebastian had witnessed in Boulder how Charlotte awakened the sleeping undead with a wave of her hand, directly triggering a disaster of the undead. He still remembered that powerful force. He did not think that these undead controlled by the vampires would pose a threat to their master.
He believed that as long as his master was willing, he would be able to seize control of all these undead spirits in an instant!
Sebastian's confidence increased, but Charlotte did not intend to confront the vampires who controlled the undead behind the scenes.
Her real strength now is only at the first level of Stars. Although she has improved her strength a lot through cramming-style "drinking blood and eating tonic" over the past year, she is ultimately just a low-level transcendent.
If she wants to compete with the vampires behind the scenes for control of the undead, she will definitely need to use the power of blood to partially liberate the True Ancestors, and it is likely that she will consume a lot of divine power like she did in Boulder.
Over the past year, Charlotte has truly felt the difficulty of replenishing her divine power. She does not want to use her divine power easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
Using divine power to deal with these low- and middle-level undead is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Not to mention that seizing control of the undead will further intensify the current battle and add more variables.
The best way to deal with the Necromancer is to capture the leader first.
After knowing that it was the vampires who were behind this, Charlotte already had a better idea in mind.
After taking a look at the camp fortifications that could hold out for a while under the cover of divine arts and magic, Charlotte pondered for a moment and said:
"Stay outside for me and don't let anyone disturb me."
After saying this, she entered the tent alone.
Black Cat Nice and Sebastian looked at each other, Nice's heart moved slightly:
"She... is she going to use the authority of the ancestor?"
Sebastian smiled, showing his white teeth:
"you guess?"
Nice: …
…
After Charlotte entered the tent, she immediately sank into consciousness and communicated with the Holy Book of Blood.
Night is the vampires' home turf, and they are good at hiding. It is indeed difficult to find a vampire who is hiding somewhere and controlling the undead in the vast violet forest.
But Charlotte has the Blood Codex.
Even if the blood clan that controls the undead is not as strong as Chiyang, she at least has Yinyue. Without using the power of blood, she may not be the opponent's opponent.
But Charlotte has the Blood Codex.
All blood descendants can be summoned by Charlotte into the Dark Night Castle through the Blood Summoning.
As long as she summons the consciousness of the mastermind behind the scenes, the controlled tide of undead will lose their mental connection and will naturally collapse.
No matter how strong the other party is in reality, once he enters her dream world, he can only be controlled by her.
As for how to locate the other party... just find the crimson star that is closest to her and whose aura is the same as the aura she sensed in the dirty blood of the zombies.
Thinking of this, Charlotte decisively entered the dream world of the Dark Night Castle.
Transforming into her adult form again, she sat high on the illusory throne of blood, gently flipping the thick Holy Book of Blood in her hand, and began to summon blood.
Crimson mist suddenly spread in the dark castle, and red stars slowly emerged.
The first thing Charlotte saw was the two stars representing Sebastian and Nice.
One of them is a member of his Blood Scroll, and the other is his contracted servant. Both of them have more or less blood power left in their bodies, so they can naturally be observed by the Blood Summoning.
And behind them is the star that symbolizes Lottie’s sister Mary.
When Charlotte rescued Mary in Boulder City, she also used the dark power of the vampires, and the vampire power in the other party's soul was also left over from that time.
Of course, because a suitable body has not been found yet, the other party is now "living" in a crystal ball, and the crystal ball is temporarily kept by Lottie.
These are the three stars closest to Charlotte, representing “her own people”.
The next stars that are farther away will probably be the turn of the vampires who control the undead.
However, when the fourth star emerged, Charlotte was stunned.
The fourth star... was still very close to her.
It is so close that it almost overlaps with the first three stars!
Not only that, the crimson glow was extremely pure, much purer than Sebastian, who was a member of the Blood Scroll, and gave Charlotte an unprecedented sense of closeness.
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:
There are actually vampires hiding in the traveling convoy
Moreover, it seems that she is closely related to her by blood
Charlotte was immediately interested.
The other party hid so well that she didn't even notice him along the way!
However, although she was curious, Charlotte quickly suppressed the thought.
After replenishing dozens of fragments, the power of the Blood Codex became stronger than before. Through the scarlet stars, she could sense that the other party's aura was not the necromancer she was looking for...
This is just a vampire who hid his identity and followed the convoy.
Moreover, the strength should not be very high.
Because the light of the stars was not bright, and although the aura was pure, it was much weaker than Sebastian's.
Charlotte did not act rashly.
Even so, she was very curious about the other party's purpose.
The other party must not know that he has been discovered.
She can wait until she has dealt with this wave of undead before investigating who the vampires hiding in the convoy are and what their purpose is.
As for now, the most important thing is to find the person behind the tide of the undead.
Thinking of this, Charlotte continued to focus her consciousness on the vast crimson sea of stars.
The mist spread, and soon... two new stars emerged.
One has a mixed aura but a slightly brighter glow, while the other has a slightly purer aura but a dimmer glow.
Only two
Charlotte was stunned.
Having summoned so many undead, she thought there might be quite a few vampires behind the scenes, but she didn't expect that there were only two scarlet stars closest to the convoy!
Not only that, the auras of these two scarlet stars were not particularly strong, at least not as strong as Sebastian's.
This made Charlotte instantly curious. How did the other party perform such a powerful undead summoning
Are there other means
Or controlling other necromancers
Charlotte was curious.
At the same time, she also keenly felt a familiar breath from the star with a purer breath.
It was a smell similar to that of the dead, and only this one had it...
"Got you!"
Charlotte's lips curled up slightly.
Catch the leader first.
After discovering the target, Charlotte pointed to the star without hesitation and began the blood summoning.
A crimson glow bloomed, and the mist suddenly boiled.
However, just when Charlotte thought that the other party was about to be pulled into the Dark Night Castle by her, the summoning failed.
The star representing the Necromancer just trembled slightly and then there was no movement.
"Failed?"
Charlotte was a little surprised.
She knew very well that the blood power represented by this star was not strong, and was even much weaker than Sebastian's.
But, even Sebastian managed to summon successfully in one go, so why did the other party’s summoning get stuck
Charlotte was instantly interested.
She didn't believe it and summoned it again.
However, this time, it failed again.
Somewhere in the dark, Charlotte felt a faint resistance that was blocking her summons.
Charlotte frowned.
She channeled the Holy Code of Blood and further strengthened her power, but as her power grew, so did the resistance.
Charlotte became more competitive and continued to strengthen the summoning, and even began to use the power of blood. However, at this moment, the entire crimson star sea suddenly trembled slightly.
In the depths of the sea of stars that was blocked by Charlotte, an extremely dazzling star suddenly shone and reappeared, almost blinding Charlotte's eyes.
Charlotte screamed "Fuck!" and immediately stopped summoning, and the dazzling star slowly disappeared.
Charlotte's mood sank slightly.
There are five giant stars in the depths of the Crimson Star Sea, which may represent the five princes of the five major bloodline directions of the vampire clan.
She tried to summon but was stopped, which only meant one thing, that the summoned person had the protection of the vampire prince.
Charlotte believed that she would be able to break through this obstacle by using the power of blood.
But that also means that there is a high chance that he will be noticed by the vampire princes.
"Is the person behind the scenes a relative of a certain vampire prince?"
Charlotte frowned.
She instantly became alert, and thought of countless reasons why her own team was targeted.
She couldn't help but be vigilant because her identity was too special.
If the existence of the Holy Book of Blood were really discovered by the vampire prince, Charlotte didn't think she would have a good ending.
"It's not that my identity has been exposed. If it had been, it would be normal for a legendary blood-clan duke or marquis to come and capture me..."
"The other party should just be under the protection of the blood clan prince."
"A divine scroll holder? Or just a simple believer?"
Charlotte thought.
Apart from Sebastian, she had never performed the Blood Summoning on anyone else, and for a moment she was not sure what was going on.
Even the high priest was dragged into the Dark Night Castle by her because he prayed to her first.
However, although the summoning failed, the action just now allowed her to successfully sense the opponent's approximate coordinates.
Since I can't summon it to the spirit world, I'll just go straight for it.
Anyway, the other party's aura is not strong.
With this thought, Charlotte stepped out of her consciousness and walked out of the tent.
"Sebastian, come with me."
…
Deep in the violet forest, on a raised hill.
Standing here and looking into the distance, the winding official road leading to Castres is faintly visible through the layers of trees.
At the end of the field of vision, holy light flickered, and the battle between the caravan and the tide of undead on the road could be vaguely seen.
A girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old stood under the tree, looking into the distance.
She was wearing a black long dress, her beautiful flaxen hair swaying slightly in the night breeze, and her scarlet chin was full of indifference.
In her hand, she was holding a thick book with a deep black cover inlaid with dark gold patterns.
She was seen flipping through a thick book, the yellowed pages emitting a deep, dim light, and all around her, zombies were crawling up one after another, roaring and rushing towards the official road in the distance.
Gusts of night wind blew the girl's flaxen hair into a mess.
She raised her slender hand and gently smoothed her hair, then withdrew her gaze from the silver-glittering camp in the distance and hummed softly:
"It seems that the intelligence is not accurate. There is actually a powerful contracted priest hidden in Castel's convoy..."
After saying that, she looked at the heavy book in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly.
As if she had made up her mind, she bit her fingertips and squeezed out a little blood, which dripped onto the open pages of the book.
But the next moment, a strong hand stopped her movement.
"Miss... that's enough. We have summoned enough undead."
The person who stopped the girl was a strong middle-aged man.
He was nearly two meters tall, wearing heavy knight armor, and had a resolute expression.
The girl frowned slightly:
"No, Lahail, the Castel family has a rich heritage. Just like you would never imagine that after losing the two Blazing Suns, they actually have an elf who was once a Blazing Sun secretly loyal to them. You would never imagine how many cards this family has."
“No one knows this better than me…”
“If you want to keep the young Earl of Castel here, you must do your best to avoid any mistakes!”
The middle-aged knight called La Hail was a little hesitant.
He looked at the holy light flickering in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a deep voice:
"Miss, do you really believe that person's promise?"
"Excuse me, I don't think that the vampires can really obtain the title of nobility in the Crescent Moon Kingdom. Walking under the sun only means death for the vampires."
"Not to mention... you didn't intend to leave anyone alive."
After hearing what La Hail said, the girl fell silent.
She bit her lip, and a trace of deep hatred flashed in her scarlet eyes:
"so what?"
"Don't even mention it's for our purpose. Even if there is no promise, I will never let our enemies return to the territory smoothly!"
"All the people in Castel deserve to die, and they must die!"
The girl's voice was loud and clear, almost like she was gritting her teeth.
At the same time, an elegant chuckle suddenly came from their side:
"Oh? Enemies? Haha, how come I have never heard of the noble Castel family? How could they have any grudges against the vampires?"
"who?!"
The middle-aged knight turned around instantly and drew his weapon.
I saw a slender red-haired elf slowly walking out from the shadows in the woods behind me.
