"Oh? Evil God?"
Yurst's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the vampire who spoke.
The other scarlet gazes in the venue also fell on this vampire.
"Mr. Viscount Scott... If I remember correctly, your mission seems to be to form a mercenary group in the East Yunite Black Land, right?"
Lord Eustace asked curiously.
The vampire who spoke nodded slightly:
"Yes, Lord Earl, that's why I said this is just a rumor I heard..."
As he spoke, the Blood Viscount named Scott looked far away, as if lost in memories:
"It is said that a year ago, Bolder encountered a plan of the Blood Demon Cult to descend upon the gods, but it was ultimately thwarted by the Holy King's Court."
"This plan of descending the spirit involved many families in the Principality of Boulder, including the Castel family. Not only that, it is said that the heir of Castel almost lost his life because of it!"
The Blood Demon Cult's plan to descend the gods? !
Blood Demon Duke Abaddon
After hearing the words of the Viscount of Blood, the vampires' eyes twitched and they all became serious.
Although the Blood Demon Duke Abaddon and the Stargazer Cosi are both princes of blood, the relationship between the two cannot be said to be good and their philosophies are completely different.
The relationship between the Observation Clan Nice and the Dark Clan Shedit is similar to that between the Falling Star and the Crescent Moon. Although they are not arch-enemies, they are entangled in grievances and dislike each other.
"Your Excellency Viscount Scott, I have also heard about this matter. It is said that the Holy Royal Court has sent three Blazing Suns to investigate personally. However... as far as I know, the Blood Demon Cult's plan to summon the gods has failed."
A vampire said in a deep voice.
Viscount Scott shook his head:
"Mr. Rune, you don't know that the divine descent in Bolder is not as simple as it seems. In fact, it was not just the failed Shedit clan that descended in Bolder a year ago, but also a strange god!"
“Even when the Blood Demon Cult’s plan to descend the gods was thwarted, it was not actually the work of the Holy Royal Court, but the personal appearance of this strange god, who severely injured the unsealed Fire Demon Valarroka in one fell swoop, destroying the Blood Demon Cult’s plan to bring down the Blood Demon Grand Duke!”
The Ness blood clan member named Rune suddenly realized something and looked solemn:
"So that's how it is..."
"But what does this have to do with Count Castel?"
He asked again curiously.
"This brings us to the role played by the Castel family in this matter. It is said that the first place where this strange god appeared was the Castel family's manor!"
"The previous head of the Castel family was bewitched by the Blood Demon Cultists and intended to sacrifice Charlotte de Castel to the Blood Demon Grand Duke. However, in the end, it was not Charlotte who was sacrificed, but the acting head of the Castel family!"
"After the incident, the demon hunters of the Holy Court found strange symbols at the scene, pointing to a strange god! And... it is very likely a god from Koria!"
Viscount Scott said in a deep voice.
The Earl of Nottingham's heart was moved:
"You mean to say that the young Earl of Castel was saved by a resurrected god?"
"That's right."
Viscount Scott nodded.
The Earl of Nottingham frowned slightly:
"The gods will not save mortals for no reason. Those who can make the gods take action must be the gods' subordinates..."
"But as far as I know, Charlotte de Castel is highly regarded by the Holy Royal Court. Although she cannot be called a true saint, the glory of the divine scroll appeared at her coming-of-age ceremony."
"She... is a devout believer in the Holy Spirit!"
"Do you mean to say that this strange god who came to the world is a demigod of the Holy King's Court? But didn't you just say that it was an evil god?"
Viscount Scott said in a deep voice:
"This is exactly what makes me confused by the rumors. From what I understand, the Holy King's Court indeed regards this revived god as a strange evil god, otherwise they would not have sent three Blazing Suns to investigate."
"Not only that, last year the Holy Royal Court even sent a team to Kolia to further investigate the news of this strange god."
The Earl of Nottingham's eyes twinkled:
"Koriya... This is the second time you mentioned Koriya, but the Kingdom of Koriya has always been the territory of Vadrat and Salem, and even the Holy Royal Court has only gained nominal rule."
"Could it be that you want to say that this strange god is an ancient blood prince?"
Viscount Scott sighed softly:
"I have no idea."
"However, I think everyone here should be familiar with the symbol of this strange god. Many people may be able to find one or two of them at home..."
As he spoke, Viscount Scott's shadowy figure gently raised his hand, and an illusory symbol was faintly outlined on the long table.
It was a pattern composed of thorns and roses, with a hint of mystery beneath the graceful lines.
Seeing the picture, almost all the vampires present were stunned.
"Thorns and roses? Damn it! Isn't this the most beautiful decorative pattern in Kolya? The coffins I usually sleep in are engraved with this!"
One of the vampires couldn't help but say.
"Really? Scott, stop kidding! All the furniture in my house is made in Kolya! They are all of this style!"
The other vampire was also confused and puzzled.
Even the Earl of Eustace, who was at the head of the group, had his eyes twitching wildly.
Thorns and roses
La Hire and Agnes, who had been watching silently without saying anything, were also slightly stunned.
It’s simple, they are not unfamiliar with this symbol because they just saw it!
They couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the beautiful figure sitting high on the throne behind them.
The other party's noble and mysterious black dress was decorated with exquisite and repeated thorns and roses, and on the wall behind her throne, there was a symbol hanging high that was exactly the same as the symbol created by the Ness blood clan!
Under the crimson glow, the mysterious symbol sparkles with a deep light, giving people a sense of nobility and mystery. When looking at it carefully, people can't help but feel awe and can't help but lower their heads.
After being pulled into the spiritual world, Agnes and the others saw these symbols. At that time, they felt that these symbols seemed to carry strange powers, and just looking at them for a few times made people feel dazed. But at this moment, combined with the information exchanged by the vampires, they finally knew why.
Holy emblem!
This is the holy emblem of the gods!
Agnes's mind, which was not very smart to begin with, suddenly became incoherent.
No matter how slow-witted she was, she realized a terrifying possibility at this moment.
She stared blankly at Charlotte who was sitting high on the throne, and stammered:
"The thorn rose... the holy emblem of the evil god..."
"You you you you you... Could it be that you..."
Charlotte glanced at her.
"Handle the crystal carefully, or else you'll be dried out and fed to the fish!"
Agnes immediately became obedient.
She quickly lowered her head, like an obedient child, and continued to maintain a stable connection with the communication crystal.
"Thorns... Roses... Holy Symbols..."
"Scott, are you sure your intelligence is accurate? Where did you get this information?"
Yust said solemnly.
His voice had never been so serious as it was now, not even when he had just talked about the fall of Earl Lachlan.
Viscount Scott nodded:
"My Lord Earl, it's true. This news was told to me by a mercenary from the Crescent Kingdom while we were drinking."
"He has a distinct southern accent, and he knows the customs and practices of the Principality of Boulder like the back of his hand. Although he behaves rudely, he is quite familiar with the etiquette of some human nobles. I judge that he is most likely a down-and-out noble of the Principality of Boulder, and the news should be somewhat credible..."
"I am also very curious about the resurrection of an evil god, especially since this pattern is so common among us vampires. Thorns and roses are our favorite elements. Even the carpet in my house is like this. Oh... By the way, just in case, I have burned the carpet."
"After I learned about this, I also specially investigated it. Although this matter is secretive, the evil god thing is true. The only uncertainty is whether Count Castel is really related to it."
After hearing Viscount Scott's words, the vampires in the meeting hall quickly fell into an uproar.
"Damn it! Scott, you should have told me such an important thing earlier! Damn, if it really is a holy emblem of a god... Oh my God, I have to change the coffin when I get back!"
The vampire with the coffin with thorns and roses pattern cursed.
"quiet!"
The Earl of Ulster rebuked him, and his majesty once again shone.
The vampires quickly regained their silence, but their eyes were flickering, and it was obvious that they were shaken.
The same is true of the Earl of Ulster.
He took a deep breath, his voice more serious than ever before:
"Scott, your information is very important. I know about this matter. There are many mercenaries from the Crescent Moon in the East Yunite Blackland, and it is also relatively close to Kolya, so it is very convenient to get information. Next... please continue to investigate this matter."
After saying this, Earl Yust looked at the others again:
"You all, please continue to investigate the information related to Count Castel. The more detailed the better."
"Also, remember the Duke's orders. You must not clash with the nobles of Castel! If necessary, you can choose to temporarily evacuate the infiltrators!"
The vampires in the meeting hall looked stern.
Although Earl of Eustace did not make any further analysis or judgment on Scott's intelligence, combined with the Duke's fear of Castel, they already had some vague guesses.
This resurrected god... is very likely to be real, and maybe the Duke has already dealt with him!
"Okay, everyone, please act quickly. Today's meeting ends here. In the next few days, please keep an eye on the changes in the communication crystal."
Earl of Yust said in a deep voice.
After saying this, his figure gradually became illusory, and he was actually the first one to leave the venue.
The remaining vampires were in turmoil again, but the turmoil did not last long. They left the venue one after another, and each one left in a hurry than the other.
The remote meeting of the Ness clan has come to an end.
…
Count Ulster disconnected the communication and regained consciousness.
His already pale face looked even paler at this moment, and his scarlet eyes flashed with a light of doubt:
"Thorns... Roses... This matter must be reported to the Duke as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he stood up and sat up from his coffin.
But when he saw the pleasing thorn rose pattern on his coffin, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Thorns and roses are the favorite plants of vampires, and this naturally includes him.
Not only that, like the vampires at the venue, his coffin was also produced in Koria, and it was a luxury limited edition, with the patterns on it being more gorgeous than ordinary ones.
Yust had originally liked the decoration of his coffin, but after a meeting, when he looked at his coffin again, he felt a cool breeze whistling on his back, as if there were eyes staring at him in the dark.
He quickly got out of the coffin, closed the coffin, and called out:
"Bruce! Is Bruce there?"
"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"
An old man who was a butler came in quickly and bowed to him.
"Hurry up and prepare for the long-distance communication. I want to talk to the Duke in person, immediately, now!"
' said Lord Ulster quickly.
"My Lord Earl, I have already made arrangements. You can contact My Lord Duke at any time."
The old butler said respectfully.
"very good."
Lord Ulster nodded with satisfaction.
After saying this, he hesitated for a second and pointed to the coffin behind him:
"Oh, yes, and this coffin... Order someone to move it out, crack it and burn it..."
"Cracked? Burned? Isn't this your favorite coffin?"
The housekeeper was stunned.
Count Eustace's face darkened:
"That was before. After that, it is not anymore."
“Okay…Okay.”
The butler nodded and was about to take action.
"Wait..."
As if remembering something, Count Eustace suddenly called him.
"Your Excellency?"
The butler looked puzzled.
Yust thought for a moment and said:
"Don't crackle it, don't burn it, just fill it with rocks and sink it into the sea."
"And... all the furniture and fabrics with thorn patterns in the house sank with it!"
After hearing what his lord said, the butler was stunned.
He glanced at the thorn pattern decorations that were everywhere in the castle and fell silent.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
Lord Ulster repeated it through gritted teeth.
"Listen... I hear it clearly..."
The old butler nodded reluctantly and went downstairs to arrange the staff silently.
Earl of Ulster hurriedly left the bedroom and began to communicate with Duke Yorrock using remote communication magic:
"Your Excellency the Duke, I am Yulster, and I have important news to report to you!"
…
"What? Thorn Rose? The holy emblem of the evil spirit?"
In the gorgeous elf-style bedroom, Duke Yorok's eyes twitched wildly and he couldn't help but raise his voice.
He glanced at the starry sky robe he was wearing, which was decorated with thorny rose lace, and his thoughts also became incoherent.
