The crimson mist slowly dissipated, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear.
Albrecht found himself still in the cemetery outside Lutetia.
He shuddered and quickly extended his perception, then found that his spiritual sense was finally no longer restricted, but returned to the normal legendary range.
"It seems that we have returned to reality."
Albrecht breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that the God of Darkness is Her Majesty the True Ancestor. I didn't expect that she would come to Lutetia! The Faceless Statue... Could it be that she came here for this?"
"Is this the reason why she targeted me?"
"What bad luck! I thought it was a way to get closer, but I didn't expect it would attract her attention..."
"No, I should have been more cautious. When I first sensed the divine power in the statue that was close to the original power of the bloodline, I should have realized the risk today."
"In the final analysis, I was too careless."
Albrecht sighed slightly, looking regretful.
However, the matter has been settled and he can no longer change the status quo.
With a sigh, Albrecht sank into consciousness.
He saw a crimson holy emblem spinning continuously deep in his soul.
The holy emblem was made up of thorns and roses, emitting a faint glow and merging with the origin of his soul. Whenever his mood changed, the holy emblem would flash, as if it was constantly monitoring his every move.
That is the soul mark of the blood servant.
Feeling the noble aura emanating from the mark, Albrecht's expression changed.
Finally, he sighed resignedly:
"Let me be a blood servant, at least... I haven't been devoured, at least I'm still alive..."
"The resurrected Myth needs to replenish her strength the most, but she didn't devour me, which means I can be of greater use to her."
"In that case, I will just be obedient for now and complete her task honestly. As long as I show enough value, at least... it should be safe for now."
"There's not much time left before the Holy Day. By then, she probably won't have the energy and attention to pay attention to a little legend like me..."
"First, complete the mission and heal your wounds. When the time comes, find a way to regain your freedom."
Albrecht soon came up with a plan.
The plan to find a place to sleep could not be carried out. Although he was very reluctant, he knew that the most important thing he should do now was to be obedient and complete the task assigned by that person.
Of course, this does not mean that he has completely given up his freedom and ambition.
The thing that vampires lack the least is time.
Although the Blood True Ancestor has a transcendent status and great power, he also has too many enemies.
He believed in himself that as long as he could endure, he would always find an opportunity.
And as long as he is given the chance, he will definitely take back everything that was taken away from him, with interest!
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Albrecht's scarlet eyes.
However, at this moment, the holy emblem in his mind suddenly lit up, and power like electric current instantly flowed through his soul and body.
He groaned and immediately stopped his disrespectful thoughts towards the Blood True Ancestor. He buried the hostility in his heart deeply and replaced it with an appearance of awe.
Dissatisfaction and hostility were replaced by respect, and the pain deep in the soul gradually faded away.
Albrecht concealed the haze deep in Tong Kong, and then with a sigh, he stopped searching for the blood servant mark.
He spread his demon wings and prepared to leave.
However, just before he left, he suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction suspiciously.
That was the direction of the entrance to the cemetery, where there was a dead oak tree full of black crows.
Albrecht glanced at the crows and frowned slightly.
He pondered for a moment, then released a spell of majesty in that direction, and then he saw the crows falling from the branches one after another, lying on the ground and trembling.
"An illusion?"
Glancing at the crow on the ground, Albrecht muttered to himself.
He retracted his gaze and stopped paying attention. Instead, he concealed his breath and flew in another direction.
After Albrecht's figure completely disappeared, the void next to the dead oak tree suddenly twisted.
Black mist suddenly spread, then quickly condensed, and finally turned into a blonde girl in a black Gothic skirt.
It was Charlotte.
She glanced at the direction Albrecht left and sighed:
"As expected of a legend, his perception is quite sharp. I was almost discovered."
A legend is a legend. Even if he is seriously injured, his strength is far beyond that of Chiyang.
Although there is the dual suppression of the devil's contract and the bloodline of the bloodline, this place is not far from Lutetia after all, so it is better not to fight.
Pulling the other party into the spiritual world and directly suppressing them at a higher level is the best way to deal with it.
As for that rebellious person... Charlotte wasn't that worried.
As long as the blood servant taboo is maintained and the opponent is monitored closely, even if Albrecht jumps again, it will be difficult to cause any trouble.
The only thing she needs to be careful about is probably to prevent the other party from circumventing the constraints of the contract and setting a trap for her.
For example, when providing intelligence, they may deliberately underreport or miss report something, or deliberately mislead others.
And that requires Charlotte to personally identify it. After all, no matter how strict the contract is, it is not perfect.
With a light breath, Charlotte's figure quickly disintegrated and turned into countless flying bats, flying towards the distance.
…
Albrecht managed to escape, but the alarm in Lutetia was not raised.
Not only that, the entire city became even more alert, and even the magical defense system covering the entire city was deployed.
The six wizard towers arranged in the shape of a hexagram throughout the city lit up one after another, and the aqua-blue glow was extremely eye-catching in the night.
Not only that, even the cathedral's area-of-effect divine magic illuminated the sky, adding another layer of hazy glow on top of the spell shield.
As for the streets, patrolling guards were continuous, and almost all the Demon Hunters and Judgement Knights were dispatched.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
When Charlotte returned to the manor, it was more than ten minutes later.
The capital was heavily guarded, and she couldn't use any force that was too conspicuous. In order to bypass the guards and knights patrolling the streets, she had no choice but to spend a little more time.
The flying bats gathered on the balcony on the second floor of the manor and eventually transformed into the appearance of a girl again.
Not long after sensing Charlotte's presence, Sebastian came over quickly with an anxious look on his face.
Only after seeing Charlotte was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief:
"Master... You are finally back. If you hadn't come back, Sebastian would have gone looking for you."
Charlotte raised her eyebrows:
"What happened again?"
Sebastian shook his head at first, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said with a worried look:
"Master, while you were gone, I specifically inquired about the news and got accurate intelligence. The battle in the sky just now was the church fighting against the dark apostles of the Blood Demon Cult, and it is suspected to be the third apostle Albrecht."
“Not only that, the church’s Grand Inquisitor and Demon Hunter Cardinal, two legendary clergymen, did not go to the North, but are still hiding in Lutetia. The legendary figures the church just released are also them!”
"In addition, it is said that the church also intends to activate the artifact Eternal Day to conduct further investigations throughout the city..."
Seeing Sebastian's worried look, Charlotte suddenly realized that she had not yet had the chance to tell him about what she had seen and heard in the church, and she did not know that she had already dealt with the three legends of the church.
This elf steward was probably frightened by the news from the church. After all, the Grand Inquisitor was a legendary person with a record of killing gods. In his cognition, although he was a "god", he had just revived and his strength had not recovered much.
She didn't explain too much to Sebastian when she left. Now they were at the base camp of the Crescent Parish of the Holy Royal Court. If the church made a big move and she didn't return for a long time, he would naturally become more and more anxious.
"Don't worry, the church can't find us, and... I've already met several legends of the church."
Charlotte said.
After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian's eyes widened:
"You... you have fought with them?"
Well…
When you’re in church, does that kind of temptation and counter-temptation count as a fight
Charlotte fell into deep thought.
She thought about it and felt that it was not wrong, so she nodded slightly:
“I guess so.”
Looking at Charlotte's indifferent expression, Sebastian opened his mouth slightly.
His expression was first surprise, then joy, and then some curiosity.
However, his curiosity was quickly suppressed. He bowed respectfully and said in awe:
"Great Master, I was overthinking. I should have known long ago that you never do anything without preparation!"
Charlotte glanced at him and guessed that this guy was probably imagining things again.
She did not ask further questions, but pondered:
"Keep a low profile for the next few days. The church should be further investigating the Blood Demon Cult in the entire city to avoid any innocent people getting hurt."
Sebastian's expression became stern, and he said solemnly:
"Great Master, Sebastian will obey your orders."
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Master, should we take advantage of the Blood Demon Cult..."
"No, Albrecht is already mine, there's no need to do anything unnecessary."
Charlotte glanced at him and said.
Sebastian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened again.
