Falling Star Kingdom, Red Apple Township Castle.
Count Ulster, wearing a wizard robe, was staying in his magic laboratory, concentrating on studying the structure of inscription enchantment.
This is an interest that Yust has cultivated for more than a thousand years, and it is also his daily form of entertainment that he is addicted to.
As a centenarian, one must always find some fun in his long life to offset the mental wear and tear brought about by the passage of time.
On the display shelves at the back of the magic laboratory are various strange and bizarre magic props, all of which are the works of this vampire count who is passionate about alchemy and enchantment.
Suddenly, a blinding light flashed, and the half-embedded inscription in front of Yust exploded.
A translucent shield appeared in front of Yust, easily blocking the burst of elements.
Yulster waved his hand to disperse the drifting smoke and cursed:
"What bad luck! I failed again!"
"How did Nicholas do it? He was able to perfectly balance the two opposing elements in the magic structure..."
"What a pity... Hundreds of years have passed and there is still no news about him. It seems that he was really torn into pieces by some church..."
"No, even if he escaped the pursuit, he would have turned into dry bones by now, right? After all... with his personality, even if he died, he would not choose to transform into a lich or reincarnate into another body..."
As if recalling something, Yurst sighed and said regretfully.
The study of magic inscriptions is a brain-burning task.
There are not many people who take this kind of thing for fun, even among mages.
For more than a thousand years, the only person who could be regarded as both a close friend and an opponent by the Blood Earl Yust was the famous legendary wizard from hundreds of years ago in the human world.
But alas, the world is fair.
Even though the popularity of extraordinary powers has allowed humans, a race that has both intelligence and reproductive advantages, to achieve an explosion in overall strength, the lifespan of human extraordinary beings is almost the shortest among all intelligent races.
Now that he thinks about it, Yust estimates that the grass on Nicholas' grave is about three meters high.
"Well, when this storm is over, I'll go to East Union when I have time, and just consider it as sweeping his grave."
With a sigh, Yulster used cleaning magic to remove the residue of the failed magic and continued the experiment.
However, at this moment, a calling from his blood and soul suddenly acted on him.
Feeling this familiar call, Yust's heart skipped a beat:
“This… This is…”
Before he could react, crimson mist spread out, and with a sudden feeling of weightlessness, he was back in the majestic and solemn castle again.
Seeing the beautiful figure vaguely visible under the mist on the throne, Yulster swallowed subconsciously, then knelt down and said:
"Yu... Yulster... Greetings to His Majesty the True Ancestor!"
"Your Majesty, the Great True Ancestor, you summoned me... Is there something you need me to do?"
On the Blood Throne, Charlotte looked at the Blood Count who was wearing a robe and holding a magic flask in his hand, and smiled faintly:
"Urst, it seems... you have been having a leisurely time these days and have even started studying magic inscriptions."
Yust's expression was somewhat awkward:
"Um... Your Majesty, you know that just as you like to travel the world in various identities, immortals like us can only find some fun to relieve the boredom of the long years."
Traveling the world in various identities
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she took note of the hobby of the ancestor of the blood clan.
"Okay, let's not talk about your hobbies. How's the thing I asked you to do going?"
Charlotte asked.
"You mean to find the fragments of the holy book for you? I've done it! I've done it!"
"In the past few months, I have been contacting friends in the clan to inquire about the whereabouts of the fragments of the holy book, and I actually collected some!"
Yulster said respectfully.
Charlotte cheered up:
"Oh? Show it to me."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Um... Please allow me to use space magic here!"
Yust said.
Charlotte nodded slightly, and opened up Yulster's use of magic in the spiritual world in her consciousness, while Yulster stretched out his hand, drew, chanted a spell, and summoned a space door.
He took out seven crimson pages from the alien space and respectfully presented them with both hands:
"Your Majesty, this is what I have gained in the past few months. I exchanged it with my friends in the clan..."
Charlotte felt slightly happy when she saw the seven fragments of pages that Yust took out.
The Blood Count is worthy of being the Blood Count. In just three or four months, he has already found so many fragments of the holy book.
You know, it took the Blood Demon Cult of Bolder many years to collect and obtain twenty-three fragments of the holy book!
"good."
She nodded with satisfaction and stretched out her hand to hook it gently.
As she moved, the torn page of the Holy Book in Yulster's hand suddenly flew up, like a child who had found his home, and flew towards Charlotte happily. Finally, in a crimson glow, it merged with the Holy Book of Blood in front of Charlotte.
Seeing this, Yulster's expression became even more respectful.
He took a deep breath and continued:
"Your Majesty, there are a few more fragments of the Holy Scripture that I have not yet obtained. It will take some time to obtain them."
"You know, even I don't dare to openly collect these pages everywhere. This will make some people have unfavorable associations with you... So, I have to take it slow."
"Besides, this stuff is so weird...ah, so weird, few people actually collect it, so I don't find many of them."
"But I also heard some news. It is said that the traitor Nesim seems to have a lot of treasures... But unfortunately, we can't touch him now."
After hearing what Yust said, Charlotte's heart was moved:
"Oh? From your tone... it seems that the Blood Duke who sided with the Blood Demon Cult was not severely punished by your Elders' Council?"
Yust sighed:
"Yes, I don't know what the Great Elder is thinking. Even though I reported Maxim's crimes to Lord Yorok, and even though Lord Yorok reported Maxim's betrayal to the Council of Elders, he still did not receive severe punishment, but was only ordered to be confined..."
"Maxim was too cunning. He didn't leave any evidence behind, and the fleet was wiped out by him in advance."
"The evidence was insufficient, so the Council of Elders did not impose a heavy fine on him in the end."
"But he's not feeling well either. You killed his incarnation that took who knows how many years to cultivate. This is enough to make him feel uncomfortable for a long time. I heard from Lord Duke Yorok that his aura was obviously much weaker during the meeting of the elders! And now, he can't stop Lord Yorok's actions for the time being."
After listening to Yulster's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
An elder duke who was almost certain to have colluded with the Blood Demon Cult to kill the earl was not given a heavy sentence in the end...
It seems that the division within the Ness clan is much more serious than she imagined.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte asked again:
"Urst, you were in charge of the infiltration of Castel, right? If so, you should also have some secular armed forces under your control, right?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, Yulster shuddered and stammered:
"Your Majesty, the True Ancestor! Although I did lead the infiltration of Castel, I have stopped everything now!"
"At that time... I didn't know that you were behind Castel..."
"Not only that, I have also cooperated with the internal investigation of nobles in Castel Territory in the past few months. Please understand!"
"Alright, it's been so long, I don't want to pursue anything. Tell me, do you have any secular power that can be mobilized?"
Charlotte shook her head.
"You... mean the army? Hmm... there are some. What do you want to do? Do you want us to support Castel?"
Yulster asked curiously.
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"You are very smart."
"It is not convenient for me to intervene in worldly disputes. It is indeed more appropriate for you to do some things."
