Charlotte has been looking forward to Blood Calling for a long time.
Just in case, she chose the basement of the manor as the place for the attempt.
This was her second time in the basement since her time travel.
The first time, she was a sacrifice who had no control over her own life and death, but the second time, she was the owner of the entire manor and even the Castel family.
Life is so unpredictable.
The basement had obviously been cleaned carefully and was empty. Apart from being a little dim, it was no different from the cellar of an ordinary manor.
No one would have thought that there were hundreds of zombies here a few days ago...
After lighting the candle and closing the iron door, Charlotte sat down in the middle of the basement.
Closing her eyes and sinking into consciousness, she once again projected the ancient book in her mind.
Blood Sacred Scripture: Beginning
Lord of the Holy Scripture (activated), Summoning of Blood (available), Liberation of the True Ancestor (sealed)
Looking at the Blood Summons that had been fully charged in the Beginning Chapter, Charlotte no longer hesitated and commanded in her mind:
"Conduct the blood summons!"
Following her thoughts, the Holy Book of Blood suddenly glowed with crimson light.
Charlotte only felt a strong suction coming over her, and her consciousness suddenly began to rise rapidly...
The crimson mist filled the entire world, and the surrounding scenery slowly distorted like ink dripping on rice paper.
When everything became clear again, Charlotte found herself in the imaginary castle again.
She still sat high on the Blood Throne.
There was a crimson mist spreading all around.
Only this time, both the castle and the throne were more solid than ever before.
Charlotte lowered her head and found that her body had also become extremely real, not at all like an illusory spiritual world.
Her clothes also changed.
It was no longer a white dress in reality, but a gorgeous black Gothic-style long dress inlaid with gold, painted with a mysterious and intricate pattern of thorns and roses.
But that’s not the most important thing.
Looking at the two arcs in front of her that blocked her vision, Charlotte was almost stunned for a moment:
Wow! Is my... this big
She stood up from the throne almost subconsciously, and she really stood up.
The sight line seems to be much higher than usual, and the weight is much more difficult to carry.
Charlotte soon realized something was wrong.
Her body...seemed to have grown all of a sudden!
Mirror…
I need a mirror!
Charlotte thought so in her heart.
A magical scene appeared...
When she had this thought, a crimson mist suddenly spread in front of her and slowly transformed into a gorgeous Gothic-style mercury mirror.
May all your wishes come true
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
And when she looked into the mirror, she was stunned.
What she saw in the mirror was no longer the familiar childish face, but a beautiful woman whose age could not be determined, with a tall and graceful figure.
Maybe he's in his twenties, or maybe he's eighteen or nineteen.
The delicate and beautiful face was 80% similar to the one in Charlotte's memory, equally stunning, but more mature and mysterious.
This... seems to be the grown-up Charlotte!
Only the hair color is different.
Her waist-length hair was no longer brilliant gold, but a gorgeous silver with a hint of pink. A rose thorn hair accessory was tied on the side, and she also wore a golden ring-shaped crown on her head.
There was a golden glow flowing in the blood-red child's eye, and it was red with a hint of gold, as if it contained the entire starry sky.
Just as Charlotte was admiring her "new skin", a crimson mist slowly spread across her field of vision, transforming into familiar words -
We drank blood and tangled with darkness
We never died, and we never lived
We walk forever in the dark night, and everything we touch will collapse into nothingness
Until the end of time
Blood Summoning: As the source of all blood descendants, the Lord of the Holy Scripture has the ability to summon all beings with blood power flowing in their bodies to the Dark Night Castle, and can sign a blood contract with them; after completing the contract, the target of the contract will become the Blood Scroll of the Lord of the Holy Scripture, and the Lord of the Holy Scripture will become the blood totem of the target. The upper limit of the number of Blood Scrolls is positively correlated with the degree of restoration of the Holy Scripture.
Dark Night Castle (Unlocked)
Blood Scroll (Unlocked)
Current blood scroll attribute limit: 0/1
Great Lord of the Holy Scripture, are you going to start the blood summoning
Summon a being with the power of blood flowing in its body and sign a contract with it
This means... could it be to summon other vampires
Looking at the description in her field of vision, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She didn't know if her understanding was correct, but no matter what, since she possessed the "power of blood", the object of summoning must be a being related to the vampires.
This made her look forward to it even more.
She now has no idea how the vampires can improve their strength. It would be great if she could summon a vampire who can impart experience to her.
If there was one thing that made her feel regretful, it was probably that the contract of the Blood Scroll could only be signed, but not signed as soon as the summoning took place.
"It seems that maybe it's time for me to act again."
The girl shook her head.
Slowly retracting her gaze, Charlotte no longer hesitated.
She first covered her figure with crimson mist, and then called out:
"start!"
The crimson glow bloomed once again, filling the entire field of vision like an exploding supernova.
A brilliant crimson starry sky appeared in front of Charlotte.
In the starry sky, countless blood-red stars are constantly twinkling.
Some are illusory and dim, while others are bright and dazzling.
They vary in size and distance, but without exception they all give Charlotte an inexplicable sense of closeness.
The bigger the star, the brighter its radiance, and the stronger its aura.
Charlotte didn't even dare to take a closer look at the brightest ones. Their aura was so strong that she felt suffocated just by taking a glance at them.
And further away, there are even five stars that look like the sun.
Because the light was so bright that it almost blinded her eyes, Charlotte simply blocked them out.
Obviously, each of these stars represents an object that can be summoned.
"Maybe... I should choose a weaker one first. If the opponent is too strong, even if I can successfully summon him, it will be difficult for me to suppress him, let alone sign a contract."
"And this time, we don't necessarily have to sign a contract. It's enough to get familiar with the summoning mechanism and accumulate some experience. There is only one position for the scroll at the moment, so we have to summon it a few times to pick the best and most suitable one."
Charlotte pondered.
She is still very self-aware.
Now she doesn't even have a rank, so even if she is summoned, she has to be steady.
After some careful selection, Charlotte chose the star with the weaker aura among those closest to her.
"This one should be good. The aura is not too strong, and can even be said to be very weak, but it is not the weakest either. It is just right for practicing summoning for the first time!"
Following Charlotte's selection, the star suddenly burst into brilliant light.
But the next second, she felt a powerful and terrifying aura slowly descending...
…
This is a gorgeous bathroom.
The giant marble bathtub was filled with mist and countless red rose petals were floating in the water.
A tall and handsome man was half lying in the bathtub, looking relaxed and comfortable.
He had long burgundy hair and a pair of pointed ears. His left hand was resting on the edge of the bathtub, and his right hand was holding a goblet filled with red wine. Behind him, two scantily clad girls with animal ears were massaging his shoulders.
The man took a sip of red wine and elegantly handed it to the beast-eared girl kneeling beside him. Then he smiled and said to the female knight standing on the edge of the bath with an indifferent expression:
"Miss Kara, let me reiterate."
"We in the Rose Society have always been good citizens who abide by the law. Although we have had transactions with Countess Castel, we have not participated in the activities of the Blood Demon Cult."
"You want to ask me about the Blood Demon Cult, but I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person."
The female knight standing on the shore was none other than Kara, the captain of the Demon Hunting Institute.
She looked coldly at the man in the bathtub and asked expressionlessly:
"Sebastian, where are the cursed pages that Countess Castel is selling?"
"This question is difficult for me. You should also know that the Rose Club never asks where the items sold go."
The man opened his mouth and swallowed the grapes that the animal-eared girl had peeled for him with enjoyment.
“You’ve seen this symbol.”
The female knight took out a piece of parchment with a picture of a thorny rose from her bosom.
"Symbol? Haha, you are really joking. Isn't this the rose decoration in Kolya's place?"
The man smiled.
After saying this, he saw the serious look on the female knight's face, and his heart was moved again:
"What? Is there something wrong with this diagram?"
Silver light flowed in Kara's eyes.
She did not explain, but looked at the man deeply, said nothing more, and turned away.
"Hey, hey! Why don't you explain it? It's not a good habit to keep people in suspense!"
The man waved.
But Kara's figure had completely disappeared.
Looking at the direction the other person left, the man slowly put away his smile.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the maid beside him:
"Go check if there are any strange demon cases related to the thorn rose recently."
The maid respectfully withdrew.
The man picked up the refilled glass and took a sip of red wine. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a bloody torn page appeared.
"Haha, Rose Club never asks where the items they sell go, but unfortunately I'm the one who bought it."
The man said to himself with a smile.
Looking at the crimson pages, his gaze gradually deepened:
"Cursed Pages... Can you really help me solve the problem as the prophecy says?"
However, at this moment, an inexplicable sleepiness suddenly came over me.
Before he could climb out of the bathtub, the man fell asleep with his neck tilted, holding a goblet of red wine.
