Charlotte knew that she was just a time traveler who happened to be recognized as the master of the Blood Sacred Scripture, and was not the True Ancestor of Blood in the world of Miria who had been missing for who knows how many years.
However, with the Blood Sacred Scripture, she is bound to too many characteristics of the Blood Ancestor, and the power she displays is indeed very similar to the resurrected Blood Ancestor.
Or simply put, the Holy Book of Blood is most likely used to cultivate new true ancestors of the blood race.
From this perspective, Charlotte acted for convenience, and in a sense, she acquiesced to Black Cat Ness and Sebas' speculation about her identity.
But she never expected that someone would expose her "disguised" identity as soon as they met...
It was unprecedented to be able to recognize her identity as a vampire, let alone worship her as the ancestor upon meeting her!
This moment even gave her some self-doubt...
Is the disguise of my identity so vulnerable in the eyes of some beings?
Charlotte couldn't help but look at Sebas out of the corner of her eye, and found that the elf housekeeper turned away unnaturally after the old woman revealed her "identity", obviously feeling guilty.
Charlotte:……
Good guy, isn't it Sebas who leaked her disguised identity?
But Charlotte soon denied this speculation.
After a year of getting along with him, she got to know this elf housekeeper very well.
In order to become the closest follower to him, Sebas wished that he was the only one in the world who knew her "true identity", so how could he reveal her secret.
Perhaps this guilty conscience was due to the fact that he had undoubtedly leaked some information, allowing the old woman in front of him to guess her "identity"...
The witch of premonition...
Similar to...prophet?
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
However, although her mind was full of thoughts, Charlotte still remained calm on her face.
"Witch of Prediction? What is your relationship with the Ness family?"
She bowed slightly and asked with interest.
Néz, the Clan of Guanzhan, is one of the five existing clans of the Vampire Clan. It specializes in the blood resonance of the way of Guanzhan and is proficient in prophecy and divination.
Those who can be called "witches" can only be humanoid women with powerful magical powers. Humans, vampires, and even elves and other humanoid races can be called "witches".
For example, the well-known vampire of the Wild Way, the heir of the Valdrat family, is called the Pure White Witch.
And calling her the ancestor means that the other person is also a blood descendant.
However, Charlotte did not feel the slightest blood power in her body.
On the contrary, the Necronomicon in Charlotte's hand trembled slightly when the old woman and the maid entered the tent, as if it sensed something.
"Great ancestor, as you can see, I was once a member of the Ness family. Of course... I have been away from the Ness family for many years, and I have not had contact with other vampires for a long, long time."
The old woman replied respectfully.
once?
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
once?
Sebastian couldn't help but look at the old woman, looking a little surprised. It was obviously the first time he had heard of this.
The old woman looked at the girl beside her and showed a kind smile:
"Of course, that was all in the past. Now I... am just a grandmother who wants to see her granddaughter safe and sound."
As she said that, she pulled the girl and bowed to Charlotte again:
"Great ancestor, please forgive Anna for being disrespectful..."
"I had already guessed your arrival when Sir Sebastian first visited me to inquire about the history of the vampire clan, but I didn't formally pay my respects until today..."
"Please forgive me for my laziness, my arrogance, and my selfishness... I don't want to deceive you, and I know I can't deceive you..."
"It's just that you have already become a legend among the vampires. The gods are too far away from mortals, and mortals cannot guess the thoughts of the gods. Without sufficient knowledge of you, I really don't know whether I should bring Reina to see you.
"
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat as she understood what the other party meant.
This mysterious woman named Anna did not dare to visit her due to some unknown worries because she could not figure out her temper.
And this kind of attitude and thinking only represents one thing -
Just like Sebas before, she is also a believer!
But why didn't she dare to come and see him?
Could he still eat her?
"Are you afraid of me?"
she asked.
The old woman trembled, her posture lowered:
"Gods...of course must be feared by the world, let alone a majestic existence like you."
"In the city of Bold, you severely damaged the fire demon Valaroca with one blow and took away half of its power. I am still deeply impressed by your powerful power, and you should be respected by others."
Um?
Even Sebas couldn't see clearly how he defeated the Fire Demon Valaroca, but she could actually see it clearly?
It seems... that her status is much higher than that of Sebas.
Charlotte's heart moved and she was thoughtful.
However, she didn't feel much powerful extraordinary aura from the old woman.
This "vampire" named Anna most likely encountered some kind of physical problem.
At the same time, she also vaguely sensed the vampire's attitude towards their "true ancestor"...
The old woman used the word "fear".
Charlotte believes that this fear may not only refer to mortals, but may also include the vampires themselves.
This made her even more curious about the relationship between the True Ancestor of Blood and ordinary vampires.
Anna obviously knows a lot of vampire secrets, but it is not convenient for Charlotte to ask directly now.
At the same time, from the other party's words, Charlotte also vaguely guessed what the other party's fear was.
The vampires are bloodthirsty, and she can strengthen herself by sucking the blood of extraordinary creatures.
The battle with the fire demon Valaroca illustrates many problems. In the liberated posture of the True Ancestor, she also has an ability similar to "sucking blood", or more like "devouring".
As a vampire, if you find that your newly resurrected ancestor can "restore" his strength through the power of "devouring", except for those true fanatic believers, everyone will probably feel a jump in their hearts and become suspicious, right?
After all, if you want to restore your strength through "devouring", what existence in this world is more suitable for the true ancestor of blood to "devour" than the blood clan itself?
That is the power of the same source.
The gods are high above. In the eyes of the gods, mortals are just ants. If the power can be restored by consuming ants, what will the gods... do?
Of course, Charlotte never thought of taking this route.
She is not a real god, and she is not that bloodthirsty. Unless she is her enemy, she will not persecute others for no reason.
After thinking for a while, she showed a gentle smile and said:
"Ms. Anna, let me introduce myself again. I am Charlotte de Castel, the owner of the Castel Territory, the Earl of the North, and the noble of the Crescent..."
Charlotte prefers the human perspective to the divine perspective.
The words of the gods are not without purpose. If the other party really regards her as a god, then Charlotte believes that she knows what she means.
Of course, the more important thing is that if she always regards herself as a god, Charlotte is worried that she will slowly think that she is a god, and will gradually lose herself in the power of the Blood Scripture...
After hearing Charlotte's words, the old woman was obviously relieved and replied respectfully:
"Of course, respected Lady Charlotte, you have been kind to the Rose Society, and have helped many broken families who suffered in the Blood Demon Disaster over the past year. You... are a true nobleman."
Charlotte smiled slightly.
She knew that the other party understood.
"Then, Ms. Anna, please explain your purpose of coming."
Charlotte said.
The old woman took a deep breath, pushed the girl next to her forward, and said respectfully:
"Lord Charlotte, Anna would like to ask you to take in Lena and give her a shelter..."
Lena...
Charlotte couldn't help but look at the girl next to the old woman.
This name is not unfamiliar to her.
If there is no duplicate name, it must be the girl in front of me who helped those mercenaries fight off the undead yesterday.
Charlotte could sense the extraordinary power in her that was no weaker than her own, as well as some kind of closeness that seemed to come from blood.
"I can feel the power of her bloodline that is about to move...can you tell me the reason?"
Charlotte asked.
The old woman replied respectfully:
"Dear Lady Charlotte, Lena's full name is Lena Palma Kilali..."
"She is the last descendant of Kirali. Because other clans are afraid of Kirali, they have not stopped hunting for thousands of years..."
"You are the source of all clans... If you can, I hope you can protect her, the last Kirali..."
"After all, they are the last clan in the Millennium Holy War that firmly believes that you will return. It is precisely because they have always been firm that you will return and have kept trying that they have been rejected by other clans."
Killali?
The bloodline of the lost royal power?!
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
She couldn't help but look at the girl carefully, her heart moved slightly, and she suddenly said:
"Keep your head up."
The girl named Lena did not act.
It wasn't until the old woman poked her that she timidly raised her head, revealing a pair of red-gold eyes, full of anxiety and confusion.
"Lord Charlotte, please forgive Lena for being rude. Ten years ago, she was hunted down by Shedite (the Dark Clan). Lena suffered a curse from the Blood Demon Archduke, and her mind regressed to the state of
Eight or nine years old..."
The old woman sighed.
Go ahead! Curse of the gods?
What did this do?
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that the old woman wanted her to take in the girl, not only to protect her, but also to help her break the curse.
But my family knows their own affairs.
Charlotte is not a real god. Even if she uses the True Ancestor Liberation, she will only have legendary level power at most. It may not be that easy to purify the curse of the demigod.
If it's not good, it might attract the attention of demigods.
But she feels this is also an opportunity.
First, there was Agnes, who became a monk halfway and infiltrated the Vampire Clan, and then there was Anna, who had been away from the clan for many years, but knew many secrets of the Vampire Clan...
Leaving aside the former who currently has no idea where to escape, Charlotte felt that through the old woman in front of her, she should be able to further deepen her understanding of the Vampire Clan.
If she wants to improve her strength, she must avoid the vampires.
As her strength increases step by step, sooner or later she will enter the vampire society.
Charlotte felt that she had no reason to refuse the surrender of a person who was very likely to be the last royal blood descendant in the world except her who had further awakened her bloodline.
If the true ancestor of Miria has died, then Charlotte can use this as a starting point to start cultivating her own vampire power.
And if the true ancestor of Miria comes back in the future, gathering the forces that were once loyal to the other party can also make you feel embarrassed about disguising your identity. By the way, you can try to hug his thigh, right?
Of course, Charlotte was just thinking.
Based on the various performances of the Blood Sacred Scripture, she believed that the true ancestor had really fallen, and she was probably the next true ancestor chosen by the Blood Sacred Scripture or the ancestor of the blood race.
Thinking of this, Charlotte pondered for a moment and said:
"After leaving Boulder this time, many of the maids around me stayed at the manor. In this case, let her stay in Castel, stay with Sebas first, and do whatever work she can."
"As for the curse on her... I will naturally help solve it when the time is right."
After hearing Charlotte's words, the old woman became energetic:
"Thank you, your honorable Lady Charlotte!"
With that said, she quickly pulled the girl up and saluted Charlotte:
"Rena, why don't you salute the great ancestor!"
Under the old woman's strong pressure, Lena bowed to Charlotte ignorantly:
"Lord Ancestor..."
"Just call me Lord Earl, or Lord Charlotte."
Charlotte said.
After saying that, she looked at the old woman again:
"As for you...Ms. Anna, please stay with me during the next period of time and talk to me about the vampires."
She stayed by her side to ask questions, but also to monitor and test her. Charlotte didn't completely trust him yet.
However, after listening to Charlotte's words, the old woman fell into a brief silence.
She sighed and said respectfully and anxiously:
"Lord Charlotte, thank you for your love, but please forgive Anna for being rude... I will leave after entrusting Reina to you."
Leaving?
Charlotte was slightly startled.
The girl Reina also trembled slightly and looked up at the old woman, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Ms. Anna, do you know what you are talking about?"
On the other side, Sebastian frowned.
The old woman sighed softly:
"Of course I know……"
"I know what Lady Charlotte means, and I also believe that Lady Charlotte has the ability to let me have more time, but...my heart cannot deceive myself."
"I will probably never believe in any gods in this life. Forgive me that I can't follow you anymore..."
"I know that Lady Charlotte has just recovered not long ago, and perhaps even those sacred memories have not been retrieved. I have written down everything I know about the vampires in a book, and will present it to you together..."
"By entrusting Rena to my care, my last wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets."
The old woman said happily.
As she said that, she saw a little bit of brilliance blooming on her body, and it actually began to dissipate.
