Gospel of Blood

Chapter 376: 33- The Secret of the Faceless Statue

Views:

It turned out that Charlotte had underestimated the magnitude of the memory of a legendary descendant.

The moment Albrecht's memories of his bloodline flooded into his mind through the crystal ball, she regretted it.

An ocean of information came like a tide, instantly engulfing Charlotte's consciousness. The vast amount of memory made her mind hazy and her headache splitting.

That feeling... was like forcing a room full of books into a schoolbag. Charlotte felt like her little head was about to burst.

It was only at this point that Charlotte realized that there was a major flaw in the order she had given Albrecht -

She asked him to copy down all the memories related to the bloodline, so... as a vampire, how many memories are related to the bloodline

The answer is almost everything since receiving the First Embrace and becoming a vampire.

Although many vampires live alone, they are essentially social creatures.

Especially since Albrecht had been a high-ranking member of the Shedit clan from the very beginning, and later became an apostle of darkness, his every move almost affected the activities of the Shedit clan and the Blood Demon Cult.

Just like an old saying in China, "No matter how small the matter is, it is of great importance to the emperor." Although Albrecht cannot be considered an emperor, as an absolute high-ranking member of the blood clan, his daily activities are closely related to his blood clan members.

In other words, all of this guy's memories over the past two thousand years, in a broad sense, meet Charlotte's rubbing conditions.

Perhaps Charlotte essentially wanted to gain some knowledge and secrets about the vampires, but Albrecht had no idea about that.

It was impossible for Charlotte to clearly point out what information she needed, so for Albrecht, a vampire who always acted cautiously, all the memories about vampires were copied down for the sake of safety.

After all, as a vampire, he could not imagine that the "True Ancestor" who was a god would be overwhelmed by the huge amount of memory.

This is embarrassing...

Although Charlotte possesses various special abilities like a god, her little head is far inferior to the computing and storage capabilities of the real gods, which are more powerful than the supercomputers in their previous lives.

Even if we exclude the long period of Albrecht's sleep, the memories that have been recorded are still a huge amount of information.

The huge amount of memories impacted Charlotte's consciousness, and another troublesome problem arose.

Memory is the vehicle of self-knowledge…

When Albrecht's thousands of years of memories poured into Charlotte's consciousness, her memories of her two lives, which totaled no more than thirty years, naturally became a lonely boat swaying in the storm.

When a large bucket of water is added to a small glass of juice, it is not the juice that is diluted, but rather the juice that is added to the water.

That’s how Charlotte feels right now.

Under the impact of memories, her self-awareness was also impacted, and the memories belonging to Albrecht quickly overwhelmed the memories belonging to Charlotte.

She only felt that she had become a demon who had received the First Embrace and became a vampire. She followed the vampire myths in their battles and witnessed the rise and fall of the vampires...

No.

She is a descendant of the devil, her name is not Charlotte, her name is Albrecht...

Charlotte looked dazed and her consciousness began to become confused.

And at this moment, the Holy Book of Blood that she had specially materialized in her hand suddenly burst into a crimson light.

The light continued to spread, enveloping Charlotte's body, and at the same time, the red-gold flame burning in her heart became brighter and brighter.

As the flames burned, Charlotte's confused consciousness gradually returned to clarity, and her own memories also grew rapidly, suppressing external memories.

Charlotte quickly found herself again.

She was slightly startled, came to her senses, looked at the memory crystal in her hand, and a trace of fear appeared on her face.

She really... almost "became" Albrecht!

fine…

Fortunately, she was worried about accidents, so she activated the Holy Codex of Blood from the beginning, and relied on the Holy Codex of Blood to protect her soul to maintain the last line of defense!

"Albrecht has too many memories. It seems... I can't absorb them like I did in the past."

Charlotte let out a breath and said to herself.

Albrecht could not absorb reading through normal means.

Then... she would have to try another way of storing it.

Recalling how she dealt with the prayers of her believers after she had them, Charlotte closed her eyes and communicated with the Holy Book of Blood again.

A golden-red glow bloomed, and Charlotte's hair quickly grew longer, and her figure grew taller. Soon she transformed into an adult with majestic and domineering appearance.

"Perception... stripping."

Charlotte read quietly.

The power of blood blossomed, spreading around her body, and then gradually enveloped Albrecht's memory crystal.

At the same time, the "divine fire" in Charlotte's heart burned even more fiercely.

Charlotte manipulated divine power to envelop Albrecht's vast memories and further enhance her perception.

Under the influence of divine power, her mental strength, which was already far superior to that of her peers, exploded further, and for a moment, it faintly suppressed Albrecht's memory.

Charlotte further stimulated her divine power and "looked" at Albrecht's memory. In her "vision", Albrecht's memory turned into a huge ball of light composed of different colors.

Those are memories perceived by divine power, representing different moods, different situations, and different times.

With the blessing of divine power, Charlotte's computing ability increased rapidly. She controlled the divine power to cut and compress Albrecht's memory according to color.

Just like a compressed file in a computer file, Albrecht's memory was broken down by Charlotte into major categories and compressed into one "file package" after another.

In a short while, the huge memory turned into small balls of light one after another.

To make an analogy, it is like Charlotte organizing Albrecht's memory, which is like a room full of information, into books by category and title.

Charlotte's heart moved, and the ball of light entered her consciousness, but it did not merge with her memory. Instead, it was placed deep in the ocean of her consciousness.

This is archived.

At the same time, new changes have taken place in the Dark Night Castle...

On one side of the castle hall, a crimson light spread rapidly and gradually formed a new gate.

The door opened, revealing a huge space like a library, with shelves filled with all kinds of books.

This is the embodiment of Albrecht's memory in the Dark Night Castle.

At this moment, his memory was stored in Charlotte's spiritual world in the form of a "library".

The light on the crystal ball gradually dimmed, and finally turned into broken photons and dissipated.

Feeling her mental strength swelling a little, Charlotte let out a breath:

"Finally... done."

Albrecht's memory was successfully absorbed.

However, it was not recorded directly in her mind, but existed deep in her consciousness.

Only when Charlotte wants to mobilize certain information will it be turned out from the depths of her consciousness, "decompressed" from the "compressed" state, and then "read" by Charlotte.

Thinking of this, Charlotte tried to "mobilize" the information about the Faceless Statue, and as Charlotte thought, the books on a bookshelf in the "library" flew up by themselves and flew towards Charlotte.

She reached out to take it and gently opened it. As the pages turned, Albrecht's memory of the "Faceless Statue" also came to Charlotte's mind:

Faceless statue.

The Blood True Ancestor left behind mysterious statues before he disappeared. In order to house these statues, he even built temples and buried them in various places on the continent of Miria.

No one knows what the purpose of the Blood True Ancestor in creating the faceless statues is. These statues all contain the Blood True Ancestor's divine power, but they cannot be actively absorbed or utilized.

There are many speculations within the Blood Clan, and the most likely one is that the Faceless Statue is related to the return of the Blood True Ancestor, and is a backup plan left by the True Ancestor. For thousands of years, in order to prevent the return of the ancestor, the Blood Clan clans have been looking for the Faceless Statue.

The Blood Demon Grand Duke is the only god who has the ability to actively mobilize the power of the Faceless Statue. The Blood Demon followers have also gained similar powers, and can use the power of the Faceless Statue for their own benefit. They can even ignore the curse of the cursed pages, allowing ordinary vampires to use the power of the cursed pages.

Albrecht once heard from the Dark Prince Barov that the Faceless Statue concealed the secret of deification, and could help descendants with special bloodlines to become gods and become new myths.

"Help the descendants with special bloodlines to become gods?"

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

After a brief pause, she recalled the "detailed information about the ancient temple and the faceless statue" in her mind.

Soon, another book flew up from the bookshelf of the "library" and then flew into her hands.

Charlotte took it, probed into her consciousness, and immediately received new information:

So far, there are thirteen ancient temples discovered in Miria Continent, nine of which are known to the world, and four are hidden by the blood descendants. Among them, there is one in Luna Island, one in Falling Star Kingdom, three in Crescent Moon Kingdom, one in the Northern Grand Duchy, two in the Western Yunet Empire, one in the Kingdom of Koria, one in the Theocracy, two in the Eastern Yunet Black Land, and one in the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

Theoretically, there are twenty-two faceless statues in existence, most of which have disappeared or been destroyed.

At present, apart from the faceless statue that has been clearly destroyed, there are still six statues that have been preserved and have clear traces:

One was sealed by the Theocracy of the Holy Court, one was collected by the Coria royal family, one was made into a sacred artifact by the Ness clan, one was lost in the deepest part of the dark realm of the East Yunet Black Land, and the other disappeared along with the legendary human wizard Nicolas de Valva hundreds of years ago.
