"Nice? It actually hides a faceless statue?"
Charlotte looked puzzled as she read the information about the faceless statue.
She didn't expect that Nice would still be in contact with him. This guy was very secretive and didn't mention it to her for such a long time!
Charlotte secretly took note and planned to give a fat cat a good "trial" after returning to the territory. As for now... the two sides were too far apart, and the cost of summoning was too high. She didn't want to spend extra divine power to bring the other party over.
At the same time, somewhere in the Earl's Palace of North Port, a black cat that was lazily lying on a velvet cushion, enjoying the dried fish fed by the maid, suddenly had its fur stand on end and shivered coldly.
"Hiss... Which old man is talking about me behind my back again?"
It cursed, then shrank back into the electronics with a guilty conscience, and quietly cast an anti-tracking spell on itself, and its movements became as gentle as possible...
Charlotte didn't know that her sudden impulse had even been sensed by Nice, who was far away in the north.
Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care much.
The information about the Faceless Statue surprised her a little. She was surprised that the True Ancestor of Blood in history actually left behind so many ancient temples and statues.
According to Albrecht's memory, the temple that exists today is only a part of what was built originally. As for how many temples and statues there are actually, no blood descendant can tell for sure.
However, the Dark Prince Barlov did make some guesses and believed that there should be around 30. The actual number might fluctuate, but it wouldn't be too far off.
As for the role of the faceless statue...
As a person who had successfully merged with the statue, Charlotte had some recognition of Albrecht's memory. Comparing the two, she thought that her guess that the faceless statue could help one ascend to god was most likely true. Only in this way could she explain certain changes that had taken place in her.
but…
Dark Prince Barov
This was the second time Charlotte heard this name. The first time she heard it was also when Albrecht mentioned it, and his words were full of respect for the other party.
Charlotte also knew why. According to Albrecht, the other party was the descendant of the one who first embraced him.
Among the blood clan, the prince is second only to the true ancestor. There is no doubt that since the other party is called the "Prince of Darkness", he is also a blood descendant of the mythical level, and is most likely a practitioner of the way of darkness.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte read again:
"Call up the information about 'God'."
A new "book" flew out of the "library" and fell into Charlotte's hands. Charlotte sank into consciousness and began to read...
There is quite a lot of information about gods in Albrecht's memory. As a legend who has lived for thousands of years, he naturally knows a lot of secrets that ordinary people don't know.
In her memory, Charlotte easily found information related to the Dark Prince Barlov.
The Dark Prince Barlov is a member of the third generation of vampires active in the mythological era, and is also one of the first group of blood princes trained by the True Ancestor of Blood.
She was once the earliest leader of the Dark Clan Shedet and one of the six blood princes. After the disappearance of the True Ancestor of Blood, the Dark Prince Barlov was defeated and devoured by the rising Blood Demon Duke Abaddon, and inherited the bloodline and power.
After reading this information, Charlotte was a little surprised.
There is no mention of such secrets in the church's records about the blood clan. Even Sebastian regards the Blood Demon Grand Duke as the earliest ancestor of the six major clans.
Now it seems that the previous understanding was wrong.
However, when Charlotte read the information about the "Blood True Ancestor", the result was unexpectedly very little.
It may also be that he is used to staying away for a long time and not getting close to him, so Albrecht doesn’t know much more about the Blood True Ancestor than Yurst.
In his memory, the Blood True Ancestor was elusive, and even it was difficult for princes to meet him.
Like Yurst, Albrecht's fear of the Blood True Ancestor also stems from the other party's absolute control over the blood descendants and the attitude of regarding the blood descendants as "food".
And deep in his memory, Charlotte also found the image and holy emblem of the Blood True Ancestor.
Charlotte perked up after reading this.
As the successor of the Holy Book of Blood, she is quite curious and wary of the True Ancestor of Blood.
He is a ruthless person who would even devour his own descendants. Who knows if he will leave any tricks in the Holy Book of Blood.
You know, in Albrecht's memory, the Blood True Ancestor had already built the temple and placed the statue in advance.
Of course, there is no way to deal with the back-up plan. This is Charlotte’s trump card and she can’t give it up. She can only find ways to deal with possible crises.
The best way is to grow as quickly as possible, reach the same level as the other party, and have the capital for dialogue.
Thinking of this, Charlotte decisively browsed the image of the Blood True Ancestor in Albrecht's memory.
After her "time travel" when she was promoted to Silver Moon, Charlotte had some fantastic guesses about history.
If her "time travel" is true, the Blood Ancestor Lilith is likely to be her student!
The mental power spread, and Charlotte continued to perceive.
However, to her surprise, although there was information about the holy emblem and image of the Blood True Ancestor in Albrecht's memory, when she read it, it seemed unreal, as if she was looking at flowers in the fog.
It felt as if a fog had obscured Albrecht's memory...
Charlotte frowned slightly.
Since Albrecht "copied" the memories himself, it is impossible for him to copy something unclear.
The only explanation is that this part of the content was influenced by a higher-level force.
After a little thought, Charlotte decisively used the power of blood to increase the reading intensity.
The crimson light bloomed, and the fog in Albrecht's memory slowly dissipated.
However, when Charlotte saw clearly the image of the True Ancestor in the other party's memory, she was stunned.
That was not the image of Lilith in her memory of "traveling through" to the past.
That is herself.
No… or more precisely, her adult self.
Long silver hair, red-gold eyes, a black dress... and when she sat on the throne, one hand resting on the seat and the other supporting her head, her movements and temperament were dignified and noble despite her laziness.
This... is exactly the same as the expression and movements she used every time when she was "fooling" those unlucky people she dragged into the Dark Night Castle!
"Me? It's me? How could it be me? Did I travel back in time and become the Blood Progenitor?"
Charlotte's eyes widened.
Thinking of a possibility, she read the memory of the True Ancestor's holy emblem again. With the blessing of divine power, the "fog" gradually dissipated, and Charlotte also saw the holy emblem in Albrecht's memory clearly -
The thorns are outside and the roses are inside, intertwined with each other.
That was her own holy symbol.
After seeing the holy emblem clearly, Charlotte was completely speechless.
If the images could possibly overlap, or if they were just very similar, then the holy emblem... could definitely not be wrong.
Rather than a changeable appearance, the holy emblem points directly to the essence of the god.
The Holy Symbol is unique, it cannot be repeated, and it cannot be disguised...
Charlotte was very sure that it was the mark she had copied from the furniture pattern. The fact that it was recognized by the Holy Book of Blood represented its uniqueness, and meant that before her it was just an ordinary decorative pattern.
So... is it true that she traveled back in time and became the True Ancestor of Blood
Charlotte was a little unsure.
After thinking about it, Charlotte mobilized her memories about "Lilith".
Unexpectedly but understandably, Albrecht's memory contained no relevant information...
There was a vampire named Lilith in his memory, but they were little ones from the fourth or fifth generation, and definitely not the Lilith that Charlotte knew.
As for whether Lilith is the True Ancestor of Blood or not, there is absolutely no information at all.
After reading the memory, Charlotte fell into deep thought.
If she was told that Lilith was not the True Ancestor of Blood, she would be surprised, but she could understand it if she thought about it carefully.
After all, the name Lilith has never been mentioned in any classics. Even the Holy Book of Blood only records one sentence of Lilith as the opening.
Charlotte regarded Lilith as the True Ancestor of Blood only because of the words in the holy book, but that sentence did not actually represent the other party's identity.
However, even if Lilith was not the Blood True Ancestor, it would be difficult for Charlotte to associate herself with the cruel and ruthless Blood True Ancestor recorded in various ancient books.
Apart from anything else, at least she couldn't devour those descendants whom she had raised, who were loyal to her and who had fought for her!
Charlotte doesn't think she is a good person, but she doesn't think she is a bad person either. Even after becoming a vampire, she still has her own moral standards and bottom line.
She believed that the Blood True Ancestor recorded in various books was not her.
According to Yulster's description, the terrifying, tyrannical, and ruthless True Ancestor in Albrecht's memory could not be her!
"No, we can't jump to conclusions yet. We can only say that there is a possibility, but it is only a possibility..."
"Memories can be disturbed. The Blood Codex is likely to be of higher quality than ordinary divine tools. It is also possible that the Blood Codex interfered with Albrecht's cognition and replaced the Blood Progenitor in his memory with me."
"It's not impossible. After all, if the Blood True Ancestor in history was really me, then the major clans couldn't have been unaware that the holy emblem of the thorn rose was the True Ancestor! It's also impossible for the furniture merchants in Kolia to use the thorn rose as their logo for hundreds of years without any problems..."
"But if the memory is interfering..."
"Could it be that the status of the Holy Book of Blood is higher than I thought?"
"Is it really just a blood clan artifact?"
Charlotte thought.
After reading Albrecht's memory, she solved some doubts, but also encountered more doubts.
At the same time, she became secretly alert.
She couldn't figure out the true relationship between her and the Blood True Ancestor, nor could she figure out whether there was any conspiracy involved.
But no matter what the truth is, the only thing that is certain is that her fate is indeed intertwined with the Blood True Ancestor.
"Strength, or to enhance strength... Only by becoming a true myth can I control autonomy."
Charlotte muttered to herself after taking a deep breath.
After thinking about it, she calmed down again and called up the content of "Ascendence to the Gods" in Albrecht's memory.
Following Charlotte's wishes, a thicker "book" flew out of the "library".
It is obvious that Albrecht has always regarded becoming a god as his goal and has collected a large amount of information.
Now, it’s cheap Charlotte.
Charlotte concentrated on reading...
The next moment, a sentence that was very important in Albrecht's memory came into her consciousness:
"Concentrate the essence, transform the divine power, ignite the divine fire, and shape the godhood."
