Looking at the young noble in front of her, Charlotte was shocked in her heart.
She never expected that in the center of Crescent Parish, one of the cities with the strongest power of the Holy Royal Court, there would be so many vampires hiding!
Not only that, these vampires actually dared to hold a banquet openly and even invited her, a foreign noble!
"Your Excellency, Earl of Castel, there is no need to put on such a serious expression. We invite you to our banquet, which is of course very thoughtful."
The young nobleman smiled slightly and said.
At the same time, many nobles, waiters and maids in the banquet hall also glanced at Charlotte and smiled.
Their movements were uniform, and even their smiling expressions were exactly the same, like puppets being manipulated.
Looking at this horrifying scene, Charlotte felt numb immediately. She felt like suffering from PTSD after facing a living corpse when she just traveled through time.
The music in the banquet hall changed quietly. It was no longer as melodious and melodious as usual in the banquet hall. The exaggerated soprano and tenor replaced the troubadour's playing and singing, which was strange and solemn.
I don't know when, but dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the lights in the hall quietly turned from bright to dark, making shadows appear more and more gloomy.
The red wine on the waiter's tray became more and more conspicuous, and the rich smell of blood hit his face.
Pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the dimness, looking at Charlotte.
Obscure fluctuations of divine power came, carrying some kind of power that twisted people's hearts.
It's a fallen magic.
Fortunately, with the Blood Sacred Scripture, this level of divine power interference with divine countermeasures would not have any impact on Charlotte at all.
But Charlotte became increasingly wary.
Her eyes swept across the vampires in the banquet hall, and finally fell on the young noble at the head:
"You... are the Blood Demon Cult? Are you so blatant that you are not afraid of facing the judgment of the Holy Royal Court?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, the young nobleman smiled calmly.
I saw him picking up a cup of bright red blood from the waiter's tray, drinking it gracefully, and then said:
"Your Excellency, Earl of Castel, there is no need to test. Since we are holding a banquet here, we naturally don't worry about being discovered by the Holy Royal Court."
Charlotte was silent.
She quickly thought about the meaning of this answer, and asked calmly:
"What is the purpose of inviting me here?"
The young nobleman smiled slightly.
I saw him respectfully performing an ancient ritual of the blood clan, and then said:
"Your Excellency, Count Castells... No, or to be more precise, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Duke wants to meet you, so he invites you here..."
Your Majesty!
They call me Your Majesty!
Charlotte's heart sank.
She narrowed her eyes slightly:
"I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
The young nobleman laughed again:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to keep pretending. Indeed, you hide it very well, but in front of the great Grand Duke, all disguises are meaningless."
"The rose of thorns is your holy emblem, the castle of the dark night is your divine domain, your power will not be forgotten by all the kings, and your return will be foreseen by all the kings."
"From the moment you arrived in Boulder, His Majesty the Grand Duke has been aware of your existence and has been preparing to arrive just to meet you..."
Exposed...
Charlotte's heart sank.
What followed was doubt:
When was she exposed?
She knew that the Ness clan already knew that there was a "god" behind her.
Considering that the Sherdit clan had a lieutenant in the Nes clan before,
At the end of the day, the Blood Demon Cult may have also received relevant information.
But knowing that there is a "god" behind her and knowing that she is that "god" are two different things.
Not to mention... the other party's implicit meaning was that she already knew that she was the "True Ancestor of Blood"!
What went wrong?
Charlotte was confused.
She believed that she had hidden herself fairly well, and that all beings who might recognize her identity had either been eliminated or contained.
In this case, how did the Blood Demon Order know?
Charlotte felt like something wasn't right.
In the dark, she felt that there seemed to be a sense of disharmony, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
However, it is no longer time to worry about how to expose yourself...
The young nobleman's words gave Charlotte a heavy-hearted guess:
"You said that the Blood Demon Archduke wants to see me... According to you, could it be that she has already arrived?"
The young nobleman's mouth curved in an evil way.
I saw him smiling, his expression gradually becoming fanatical:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Duke has arrived."
"Thank you also for making such a big noise in the Northland and attracting the attention of the Digital Legends of Crescent Parish. This gave us the opportunity..."
【In view of the general environment,
After hearing the young noble's words, Charlotte's heart sank.
She understood what the other party meant.
The Blood Demon Archduke has arrived, and... I'm afraid he has arrived in the royal capital.
No wonder...
No wonder the Blood Demon Order dared to hold a banquet under the nose of the church openly, and so many vampires came.
If the Blood Demon Archduke has successfully arrived, then everything makes sense.
With a myth alive, it would be easy to cover up a vampire banquet.
An even more exaggerated guess is that maybe the entire royal capital has actually been controlled by the Blood Demon Archduke!
Charlotte regretted it a little.
She shouldn't have come to this party.
It was obvious that this banquet was just for her.
She has already begun to think about whether to liberate the true ancestor.
She didn't think that the Blood Demon Archduke wanted to see her with good intentions.
If the other party discovers her true situation, her ending may be quite miserable.
Fortunately, even if the Blood Demon Archduke has already arrived, considering that he has not arrived for too long, the power that can be exerted is likely to be limited. As long as the True Ancestor is liberated, she is not without the power to fight.
But the uneasiness in Charlotte's heart became stronger and stronger.
Especially when she was planning to liberate the True Ancestor, she felt an unspeakable resistance deep in her heart for some unknown reason.
She always felt as if she had overlooked something, and the sense of disobedience in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will leave the rest of the time to the great Grand Duke."
The young nobleman said with a smile.
After saying that, his expression became crazy and eager.
The young noble suddenly stepped aside, revealing the mysterious statue behind him. He drew a symbol of the devil's eye on his chest and said with a fervent expression:
"The master who wanders between the abyss and the present world..."
"The embodiment of depravity and decay..."
"The savior of the descendants of blood..."
"Your Majesty the Great Grand Duke! The True Ancestor of Blood has appeared. Your humble servant, I beg you to come..."
After finishing speaking, the strange statue radiated red light, and an ancient and vast aura slowly descended...
In Charlotte's horrified gaze, a giant covered in dark red light slowly emerged in the banquet hall.
The dark red giant cannot see clearly
She looks pretty, but just looking at her makes people feel dizzy.
She glanced at Charlotte indifferently, and said in a cold voice without any emotion:
"The True Ancestor of Blood, your power... I accept it."
Dark red divine power exploded, carrying some kind of power that could twist people's hearts.
When the divine power passed over the vampires present, all the vampires looked enthusiastic and intoxicated.
Immediately afterwards, these vampires "melted" one after another, turning into pools of blood and being absorbed by the dark red giant...
In the blink of an eye, all the vampires in the banquet hall were swallowed by the giant, and the giant's power was further enhanced!
And after devouring the blood descendant, the strange divine power did not stop and surged towards Charlotte...
Charlotte's expression changed drastically.
She mobilized her divine power, the Blood Sacred Scripture began to operate on its own, and divine countermeasures were also activated.
The terrifying divine power quickly engulfed her, and Charlotte only felt the burning and corrosive sting spreading throughout her body.
The Holy Book of Blood is shining brightly, and the magical countermeasures are also strengthened.
The power of the holy book and the dark red divine power fought for a full minute before Charlotte barely resisted the opponent's attack.
Charlotte took a deep breath and prepared to fight for the liberation of the True Ancestor. However, the moment she was about to completely explode the divine power of blood, she stopped abruptly.
Feeling the power of the Blood Sacred Scripture in her body, Charlotte looked a little strange when looking at the terrifying red giant in front of her.
She... seems to know where the sense of dissonance lies.
Today's divine counterattack does not have simple and mysterious words appearing in the field of vision like before...
