Charlotte knew that she was just a time traveler who happened to be recognized as the master of the Holy Book of Blood, and not the True Ancestor of Blood who had been missing for who knows how many years in the world of Miria.
However, with the Holy Book of Blood, she has bound too many characteristics of the True Ancestor of Blood, and the power she displays is indeed very similar to that of the resurrected ancestor of the blood clan.
Or to put it simply, the Holy Book of Blood is most likely used to cultivate new vampires.
From this perspective, in order to make things easier, Charlotte, in a sense, acquiesced to Black Cat Nice and Sebastian's speculation about her identity.
But she never expected that someone would reveal her "disguised" identity as soon as they met...
It was unprecedented to recognize her as a vampire, not to mention worshipping her as the ancestor as soon as they met!
This moment even made her doubt herself...
Is the disguise of my identity so vulnerable in the eyes of some beings
Charlotte couldn't help but glance at Sebastian out of the corner of her eye and found that the elf butler turned his head away unnaturally after the old woman revealed her "identity", and it was obvious that he felt guilty.
Charlotte: …
Oh my god, could it be that Sebastian had leaked her disguised identity
But Charlotte quickly denied this speculation.
After a year of getting along, she knew this elf housekeeper too well.
In order to become the follower closest to him, Sebastian wished that he was the only one in the world who knew her "true identity" so that he would never reveal her secret.
Perhaps this guilty conscience caused him to inadvertently leak some information, allowing the old woman in front of him to guess her "identity"...
The Witch of Prediction...
Similar to... The Prophet
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
However, although her mind was full of thoughts, Charlotte remained calm.
"Witch of Prediction? What is your relationship with the Ness family?"
She leaned forward slightly and asked with interest.
Néz, the clan of divination, is one of the five existing clans of the vampire race. It specializes in the blood resonance of divination and is proficient in prophecy and divination.
The only people who can be called "witches" are female humanoids who possess powerful magical powers, including humans, vampires, and even other humanoids such as elves.
For example, the heir of the well-known vampire of the Savage Way, the Vadrat family, is called the Pure White Witch.
Calling her the ancestor means that she is also of the same bloodline.
However, Charlotte did not feel any blood power from her.
However, the Book of the Dead in Charlotte's hand trembled slightly when the old woman and the maid entered the tent, as if it sensed something.
"Great Ancestor, as you can see, I was once a member of the Ness family. Of course... I have been away from the Ness family for many years, and I have not been in contact with other vampires for a long, long time."
The old woman replied respectfully.
once
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
once
Sebastian couldn't help but look at the old woman with a surprised look on his face. It was obviously the first time he heard this.
The old woman looked at the girl beside her and smiled kindly:
"Of course, that was all in the past. Now I am just a grandmother who wants to see her granddaughter safe and sound."
As she spoke, she pulled the girl and bowed to Charlotte again:
"Great Ancestor, please forgive Anna's disrespect..."
"As early as when Lord Sebastian first visited me to inquire about the history of the vampires, I had already guessed your arrival, but it was not until today that I officially met you..."
"Please forgive my negligence, my arrogance, and my selfishness... I don't want to deceive you, and I know I can't deceive you..."
"It's just that you have long become a legend among the vampires. Gods are too far away from mortals, and mortals cannot guess what they are thinking. Without enough knowledge about you, I really don't know whether I should bring Reina to meet you."
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, and she understood what the other party meant.
The mysterious woman named Anna did not dare to visit her because she had no idea of her temper and out of some unknown concerns.
And this attitude and thinking only represents one thing—
Like Sebastian before, she is also a non-believer!
But why didn't she dare to come and see me
Could I still eat her
"Are you afraid of me?"
She asked.
The old woman trembled and lowered her posture even lower:
"Gods... of course they are to be feared by the world, especially when they are as majestic as you."
"In the city of Boulder, you severely damaged the fire demon Valarroka with a single blow, taking away half of its power. I am still impressed by your great strength. You deserve to be respected."
Um
Even Sebastian didn't see clearly how he defeated the Fire Demon Valarroka, how could she see it clearly
It seems... her status is much higher than Sebastian's.
Charlotte's heart moved, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
However, she did not sense any powerful supernatural aura from the old woman.
This "vampire" named Anna is most likely having some kind of physical problem.
At the same time, she also vaguely sensed from the other party the attitude of the blood race towards their "True Ancestor"...
The old woman used the word "fear".
Charlotte believed that this fear probably did not only refer to mortals, but also to the vampires themselves.
This made her even more curious about the relationship between the True Ancestor of Blood and ordinary vampires.
Anna obviously knew a lot of secrets of the vampires, but it was not convenient for Charlotte to ask directly now.
At the same time, from the other party's words, Charlotte vaguely guessed what the other party was afraid of.
The vampires are bloodthirsty, and she can strengthen herself by sucking the blood of supernatural creatures.
The battle with the Fire Demon Valarroka explained a lot of things. In the True Ancestor's liberated state, she also has an ability similar to "sucking blood", or in other words, more like "devouring".
As for the vampires, if they found out that their newly revived ancestor could "restore" his strength by "devouring" the power, except for those true fanatics, everyone would probably be startled and suspicious, right
After all, if one wants to restore strength through "devouring", is there anything else in this world that is more suitable for the Blood True Ancestor to "devour" than the vampires themselves
That is the power of the same origin.
The gods are high above, and in their eyes, mortals are just ants. If the gods can restore their strength by consuming ants, what will they do
Of course, Charlotte hadn't thought of going down this route.
She is not a real god, nor is she so bloodthirsty. Unless someone is her enemy, she will not persecute others for no reason.
After thinking for a while, she smiled gently and said:
"Ms. Anna, let me introduce myself again. I am Charlotte de Castel, the Lord of Castel, the Earl of the North, and the Noble of the Crescent..."
Charlotte prefers the human perspective to the divine perspective.
The words of the gods would not be wasted. If the other party really regarded her as a god, then Charlotte believed that she knew what she meant.
Of course, the more important thing is that if she always thinks of herself as a god, Charlotte is worried that she will really start to think that she is a god and will gradually lose herself in the power of the Holy Book of Blood...
After hearing Charlotte's words, the old woman was obviously relieved and replied respectfully:
"Of course, respected Lord Charlotte, you have been kind to the Rose Society and have helped those broken families who suffered in the blood demon disaster many times in the past year. You... are a true noble."
Charlotte smiled.
She knew that the other party understood.
"Well, Ms. Anna, please explain why you are here."
Charlotte said.
The old woman took a deep breath, pushed the girl next to her forward, and said respectfully:
"Lord Charlotte, Anna wants to ask you to take Reina in and give her a shelter..."
Reina...
Charlotte couldn't help but look at the girl next to the old woman.
She was not unfamiliar with the name.
If there is no duplicate name, the girl in front of me must be the one who helped those mercenaries fight off the undead yesterday.
Charlotte could sense the extraordinary power in her that was no weaker than her own, as well as a certain kind of closeness that seemed to come from blood.
"I can feel the power of her blood stirring... Can you tell me why?"
Charlotte asked.
The old woman replied respectfully:
"Dear Lady Charlotte, Reina's full name is Reina Palma Kiraly..."
"She is the last descendant of Kiraly. Because other clans are wary of Kiraly, they have been hunting her down for thousands of years..."
"You are the source of all clans... If possible, I hope you can protect her, the last Kirari..."
"After all, they are the last clan in the Thousand Years of Holy War that was determined that you would return. It is precisely because they have always been determined that you will return and have persisted in trying that they are rejected by other clans."
Kiraly
The lost royal bloodline?!
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
She couldn't help but look at the girl carefully, her heart moved slightly, and suddenly said:
"Look up."
The girl named Reina did not take any action.
It was not until the old woman poked her that she timidly raised her head, revealing a pair of red-gold eyes, which were full of anxiety and confusion.
"Lord Charlotte, please forgive Reina's rudeness. Ten years ago, she was hunted by the Shedit (the Dark Clan). Reina suffered a curse from the Blood Demon Grand Duke, and her mind regressed to that of an eight or nine-year-old..."
The old woman sighed.
Oh my god! A curse from the gods
What is this for
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
It seems that the old woman wanted her to take in the girl not only to protect her, but also to help her break the curse.
But family members know their own business.
Charlotte is not a real god. Even if she used the True Ancestor Liberation, it is at most a legendary level of power. It may not be so easy to purify the demigod curse.
If you are not careful, you might even attract the attention of demigods.
But she saw it as an opportunity as well.
First there was Agnes, who changed her ways and infiltrated the vampire clan, and then there was Anna, who had left the clan for many years but knew many of the vampire clan's secrets...
Putting aside the former who has currently escaped to an unknown place, Charlotte feels that through the old woman in front of her, she should be able to further deepen her understanding of the vampires.
If she wants to improve her strength, she cannot avoid the vampires.
As her strength increases step by step, she will sooner or later enter the vampire society.
Charlotte felt that she had no reason to reject the offer of a man who might very well be the last royal descendant in the world, except for herself who had further awakened her bloodline.
If Miria's true ancestor has fallen, then Charlotte can use this as a starting point to begin cultivating her own vampire power.
And if Miria's true ancestor comes back in the future, he can help the other party gather those forces that once were loyal to the other party, and also make up for the embarrassment of his disguised identity, and try to curry favor with the other party, right
Of course, Charlotte was just thinking about it.
Based on the various manifestations of the Holy Book of Blood, she believed that the real True Ancestor had really fallen, and that she was very likely the next True Ancestor chosen by the Holy Book of Blood or the Blood Clan's ancestor.
Thinking of this, Charlotte pondered for a moment and said:
"This time when I left Boulder, many of my maids stayed in the manor. In this case, let her stay in Castel and follow Sebastian to do some work within her ability."
"As for the curse on her... I will naturally help resolve it when the time is right."
After hearing what Charlotte said, the old woman cheered up:
"Thank you, Your Excellency Charlotte!"
As she spoke, she quickly pulled the girl up and saluted Charlotte:
“Reina, why don’t you pay your respects to the great ancestor!”
Under the old woman's strong pressure, Reina bowed to Charlotte in a daze:
"My Lord, the First Ancestor..."
"You can call me Lord Earl, or Lady Charlotte."
Charlotte said.
After saying that, she looked at the old woman again:
"As for you... Ms. Anna, please stay with me for the next period of time and talk to me about the vampires."
He stayed by his side to ask questions, monitor and test her. Charlotte had not yet completely trusted him.
However, after hearing Charlotte's words, the old woman fell into a brief silence.
She sighed and said respectfully and nervously:
"Thank you for your kindness, Charlotte-sama, but please forgive Anna for being rude... I will leave after entrusting Reina to you."
Leaving
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
The young girl, Lena, also shuddered slightly, and looked up at the old woman, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Ms. Anna, do you know what you are talking about?"
On the other side, Sebastian frowned.
The old woman sighed:
"Of course I know… "
"I know what Lady Charlotte means, and I also believe that Lady Charlotte has the ability to give me more time, but... my heart cannot deceive myself."
"I will never believe in any gods in my lifetime. I'm sorry I can't follow you..."
"I know that Lady Charlotte has just recovered and perhaps has not yet recovered her sacred memories. I have written down everything I know about the vampires in a book and will present it to you..."
"I have entrusted Reina to my care. My last wish has been fulfilled. I have no regrets."
The old woman said with relief.
As she spoke, a little light appeared on her body, but it began to dissipate.
