Gospel of Blood

Chapter 165: 15- The betrayer

Views:

"Lord Charlotte, I have entrusted Reina to you. My last wish has been fulfilled. I have no regrets..."

Anna said with relief on her face.

As she spoke, her body began to become gradually transparent, and tiny bits of photons were released from her body and began to dissipate.

It all happened so suddenly.

Reina's eyes widened, she whimpered a few times, and threw herself on the old woman, but passed through her and fell to the ground.

Charlotte was stunned and subconsciously stood up from her seat, only to find that the old woman had disappeared, leaving only a thick parchment scroll.

Sebastian was also stunned.

His figure instantly flashed to the place where Ms. Anna disappeared. After sensing for a moment, he picked up the parchment scroll on the ground.

When he subconsciously glanced at the contents recorded on the parchment, he was stunned for a moment, then looked incredible, but then he suddenly realized something and sighed...

He took the parchment scroll and quickly came to Charlotte, handed it to her with both hands, and said in a complicated voice:

"Master, she is dead, no... she has already died..."

Charlotte took it and quickly read through it. She saw that the first page of the parchment contained a confession to the great True Ancestor.

She did not write down what she had done, but just kept blaming herself on the parchment scroll.

She also left her expectations and guilt towards Reina on the parchment, as well as explaining her situation.

She should have died a long time ago, or she is already dead.

She was once a vampire, but because she awakened the Eye of Foresight, she suffered the blood curse of the Ness family since ancient times and had long since died out.

Now, she just wants to give Reina a future, and just wants to see the returning ancestor she saw in the prophecy for the last time...

Once her wish was fulfilled, her obsession dissipated.

That’s right, obsession.

The one who just talked to Charlotte and the others was just Ms. Anna's obsession to stay in the world.

After the Blazing Sun, the spiritual power of the extraordinary person will undergo an incredible transformation, and if it reaches the legendary level, the will can even influence reality to a certain extent.

This Witch of Prediction... was probably once a legend.

Looking at the distraught girl Reina sitting on the ground, Charlotte sighed, cast a magic of control to soothe her mental power, and then called Shirley to take her away to take good care of her.

At the same time, the door of the tent suddenly shook, and the fat body of the black cat Nice rushed in instantly, shouting as he rushed in:

"Meow! What's going on? Did Sebastian ascend to heaven?"

Its eyes instantly met with the Fire Elf, who happened to look back, and the cat and the elf stared at each other in wide eyes.

Sebastian: …

His face darkened, and then quickly changed into a gentle smile:

"Mr. Nice, it seems that you have eaten too much recently and want to exercise to lose weight."

Nice: …

"Eh? Weird... If it wasn't you who ascended, then who ascended? I just clearly sensed the fluctuations of the return of the Divine Scroll Master..."

The black cat looked around and scratched his head in confusion.

But as soon as it was finished, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Inside the tent, Charlotte and Sebastian were staring at it.

Nice immediately felt uncomfortable:

"Meow... Lady Charlotte, why... why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"The Divine Scroll?"

Charlotte raised her voice.

Nice felt even more guilty:

"Meow... Did I say something wrong? Well... I had a special experience in my early years, and I am very sensitive to the spiritual fluctuations of the Divine Scroll Master..."

After hearing what Nice said, Charlotte looked at it meaningfully.

This guy really has a lot of secrets. Even she, who controls the Holy Book of Blood, can't feel the so-called fluctuations of the Divine Scroll Master, but it can. No one knows what its identity was before it turned into a cat.

Of course, the reason why Charlotte couldn’t sense it might be because she didn’t use the power of blood.

Thinking of this, Charlotte quietly communicated with the Holy Book of Blood and loosened the power of liberation of the True Ancestor.

In an instant, her hair turned silver and her eyes turned red gold.

At the same time, she indeed sensed a strange smell in the tent that was gradually dissipating.

The smell was not unpleasant, it even gave her a sense of familiarity.

That was the breath of a strange vampire.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly thought of the old woman whose figure had disappeared.

She looked at the parchment scroll left by the old woman and suddenly asked:

"Sebastian, how much do you know about the Witch of Prediction?"

"Master, I have only been on the mainland for fifteen years. Before that, I lived on Luna Island. I don't know much about the human civilization world..."

Sebastian said.

After saying this, he couldn't help but say:

"It's just that I heard that the Witch of Prediction was a human woman with powerful magic, but I didn't expect it to be Ms. Anna. What I didn't expect was that Ms. Anna was actually a vampire..."

"Hmm? The Witch of Prediction? Ask me about that! I know! I've dealt with her before! She's a powerful witch who awakened the Eye of Prediction. We worked together back then... But that was the Witch of Prediction from a long, long time ago. I'm sure the grass on her grave is taller than my height when I stand up."

Nice said proudly.

The witch of prediction from the previous generation...

Charlotte frowned.

"Master, I don't know what secrets Ms. Anna is hiding, but... one thing I am sure of is that we have known each other for more than ten years, and she is also a non-believer like I once was."

Sebastian thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"Hey, this should be true. The witches of foretelling can see many things, including some of the secrets of the gods. It is indeed difficult for them to believe in false gods."

Nice sneered.

After saying this, it seemed to realize that what it said was inappropriate, and it quickly looked at Charlotte guiltily, stammering to make amends:

"Of course! I'm not referring to you! Um... yeah, I'm referring to those hypocritical gods!"

Charlotte didn't pay any attention to Nice's talkative mouth.

She frowned slightly, feeling the old woman's body full of tearing.

Those who have no faith.

But...it is also possible that he is the holder of a divine scroll of some god

Weird, really weird!

She felt that the old woman who visited her was full of mysteries, but unfortunately... everything had been buried with her disappearance.

The only thing that was certain was that, from the breath she sensed after she used the power of blood, the other party was indeed related to the vampires.

"Prophets" are all weird. Some have short lives like mayflies, while others have long lives like thousand-year-old turtles.

For some reason, Charlotte had a feeling.

Perhaps in the near future, she might see Ms. Anna again...

As for now, no matter whether the other party is alive or dead, at least Charlotte can feel that the other party has no ill intentions.

After thinking for a while, she said to Sebastian:

"Sebastian, take good care of the girl from the Kirari clan."

Ms. Reina was entrusted to her by the other party.

No matter what the other party's purpose was in approaching her, perhaps... everything depended on this last descendant of royal blood.

This is a gloomy and solemn castle hall.

The black stone walls surrounding the hall were engraved with exquisite and intricate patterns and ancient reliefs, depicting the mythical legend of how the stargazer Cosi followed the True Ancestor of Blood in the War of the Gods and was eventually deified.

In the center of the hall, there was a lonely black coffin, which was wrapped in black chains, exuding a vicissitudes and ancient atmosphere.

And around the coffin, four black devil statues with bat wings on their backs stood in four directions. They held tridents in their hands, standing tall, like guards or watchmen.

Suddenly, the coffin trembled slightly, and the black chains on it slowly retreated as if they had life.

The next moment, the long lid of the coffin opened with a creaking sound, and gray-black mist overflowed from the coffin.

The fog quickly dissipated, and an old figure slowly sat up from the coffin.

It was an elderly woman.

If Charlotte were here, she would find that her appearance was strikingly similar to Anna who visited her, but unlike Anna, who was dressed simply, the old woman was wearing a gorgeous and mysterious black nightgown, which was incompatible with her old face.

But soon, the old woman's appearance began to change dramatically.

As if there was some kind of chemical reaction with the air outside, after she sat up from the coffin, the wrinkles on her skin gradually disappeared, her gray hair gradually turned back to brown and black, and her originally old face quickly regained its youthfulness.

She was a beautiful and dignified vampire woman.

She slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

At the same time, the four demon statues guarding the surroundings shook together, with scarlet light flashing in their eye sockets.

With a creaking sound, they twisted their bodies as if they had not moved for dozens or hundreds of years, and saluted the woman in the coffin:

"Lady Eugenia..."

The vampire woman called Eugenia glanced coldly at the demon statues around her and asked:

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Lady Eugenia, you have been asleep for seventy-three years this time."

The demon statue replied respectfully.

"Seventy-three years, and I was lost for almost five years..."

Eugenia frowned.

She rubbed her temples and sighed softly, her expression full of worry:

"The prophesied Holy Day is getting closer and closer..."

As she spoke, she stood up from the coffin and snapped her fingers lightly. The black nightgown on her body instantly turned into a dignified and mysterious dress.

She stepped out of the coffin and headed out into the hall.

However, just as she was about to leave the hall, she was quickly stopped by the demon statue:

"Mistress Eugenia, the Duke has ordered that you cannot leave here until you are willing to make a new prophecy."

Looking at the demon statue that blocked her way, Eugenia's face darkened.

"However, the Duke also said that if you can tell the clan the detailed experience and prophecy of your reincarnation, you can move freely in the castle even though you cannot leave it."

The demon statue said again.

Eugenia narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

"Lady Eugenia, don't insist. No matter how you try to bypass the seal, you will lose most of your memories after your reincarnation, and you will be wanted by the clan..."

“No matter how many times you try, you will never succeed, after all… you will never have an anchor of your own.”

"Lady Eugenia, betraying the clan... will only lead to destruction."

The demon statue said solemnly.

Eugenia glanced at it:

"Is this the warning he asked you to relay?"

The demon statue bowed slightly to show its assent.

Eugenia sneered:

"Then please pass on my message. I will never compromise with a betrayer."

"Traitors...will never have a good ending. All betrayals...will eventually backfire on themselves!"

After saying this, she turned and left, re-entering her coffin.

In the castle, only her last distant sigh remained:

"Including... me."

Ms. Anna's entrustment was just a small episode.

Charlotte kept the young girl Reina and initially planned to leave her to Sebastian's care, but after thinking it over, she decided to keep her by her side as one of her personal maids.

Without the company of Ms. Anna, the vampire girl, who originally couldn't speak, became even more taciturn, which made Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

No matter how old the other person really is, in her eyes, he is almost like a child, which makes her think of her sister in her previous life.

After all, Reina is a vampire, and a descendant of royal blood, so it might be better to keep her by my side.

In her spare time, Charlotte also carefully read the parchment scroll left by Ms. Anna.

It must be said that this information was indeed useful to her. It provided a detailed introduction to some intelligence within the blood clan, especially the division of blood clan forces active in the West Yuneite region, which was mainly composed of the Crescent Kingdom, the Falling Star Kingdom and the Yuneite Empire, as well as which more well-known blood clans were within it.

However, the information in these records is very strange. It is mainly based on the vampire clan Nice, which is distributed in the Falling Star Kingdom and the enclave Roman Principality on the mainland. Moreover, the time span is extremely large and extremely fragmented.

Charlotte guessed that many of them were probably things Anna had read in some books.

The clearest records are from the last few decades, but Anna's experience seemed a little unpleasant. In the description, she seemed to have been hunted by the blood clan of the Ness clan.

She didn't remember her past very clearly. She only remembered that she seemed to have betrayed her family and seemed to have been looking for something, but she was vague about it.

Charlotte was also a little confused, but she was not without gain. At least she learned a lot about the vampires in the Roman Principality.

The Duchy of Roman and the Earldom of Castel are close neighbors, and in a sense, they are also the vampire society closest to Charlotte.

As for the Crescent Moon Kingdom... those blood demon lunatics, it's better not to mention them.

And just like that, while browsing the information left by Anna, Charlotte and her group hurried on their way. Before they knew it, they had finally walked out of the Violet Forest and arrived at Castel Territory.
