Charlotte has been looking forward to the Call of Blood for a long time.
Just in case, she chose the basement of the manor as the place to try.
This is the second time she has been to the basement after traveling through time.
The first time she was a sacrifice who had no control over her own life and death, but the second time she was the master of the entire manor and even the Castel family.
Life is so unpredictable.
The basement had obviously been carefully cleaned and was empty. Apart from being a little dark, it was no different from an ordinary manor's cellar.
No one would have thought that there were hundreds of living corpses here just a few days ago...
After lighting the candle and closing the iron door, Charlotte sat down in the center of the basement.
Closing her eyes and sinking into consciousness, she once again projected the ancient book in her mind.
[Blood Sacred Book·The Beginning Chapter]
[Lord of the Sacred Code (activated), Blood Summoning (available), True Ancestor Liberation (Sealed)]
Looking at the [Blood Summons] that had been fully charged in the Chapter of Beginning, Charlotte no longer hesitated and ordered in her mind:
"Carry out the call of blood!"
Following her thoughts, the "Blood Sacred Scripture" suddenly bloomed with crimson brilliance.
Charlotte felt a strong suction force coming over her, and her consciousness suddenly began to rise rapidly...
A crimson mist filled the entire world, and the surrounding scenes slowly blurred and distorted like ink dripping from rice paper.
And when everything became clear again, Charlotte found herself in the illusory castle again.
She still sits high on the Throne of Blood.
There is a crimson mist spreading all around.
It's just that this time, both the castle and the throne are more solid than ever before.
Charlotte lowered her head and found that her body had also become extremely real, not like an illusory spiritual world at all.
Her clothes also changed.
It is no longer a white dress in reality, but a gorgeous black gold-embellished gothic dress with a mysterious and complicated thorn-rose pattern painted on it.
But that's not the most important thing.
Looking at the two arcs in front of her that were enough to block her sight, Charlotte was almost stunned for an instant:
Good guy! Is mine... so big?
She almost subconsciously stood up from the throne, and she really stood up.
My sight seemed much higher than usual, and it was much harder to carry the weight.
Charlotte soon realized something was wrong.
Her body... seemed to have grown up all of a sudden!
Mirror……
I need a mirror!
Charlotte thought so in her heart.
A magical scene appeared...
When she had this idea, the crimson mist suddenly spread in front of her, slowly transforming into a gorgeous gothic silver mirror.
May all your wishes come true?
Charlotte was slightly startled.
And when she looked into the mirror, she was even more stunned.
What she saw in the mirror was no longer her familiar childish face, but a beautiful woman whose age seemed indistinguishable, with a tall and graceful figure.
They may be in their twenties, or they may be eighteen or nineteen years old.
Her delicate and beautiful appearance is exactly like Charlotte remembers herself, equally stunning, but more mature and mysterious.
This... seems to be the grown-up Charlotte!
Only the hair color and eye color are different.
Her waist-length hair is no longer brilliant gold, but a kind of magnificent silver with a little pink, with a rose and thorn hair ornament tied on the side, and a golden ring crown on top of her head.
The blood-colored pupils were filled with golden flowers, red with gold, and seemed to contain the entire starry sky.
Just as Charlotte was admiring her "new skin", a crimson mist slowly spread in her field of vision, transforming into familiar words——
[We drink blood and struggle with darkness]
[We have never died and we have never lived]
【We will always walk in the dark night, and everything we touch will collapse into nothingness】
【Until...the end of the world】
[Blood Summoning: As the source of all blood descendants, the Lord of the Sacred Code has the ability to summon all beings with the power of blood flowing in their bodies to the Dark Night Castle, and can sign a blood contract with them; after completing the contract, the signed target will
Becoming the blood dependent of the lord of the holy scripture, the lord of the holy scripture will become the target's blood totem. The upper limit of the number of blood dependents is directly related to the repair speed of the holy scripture.】
[Dark Night Castle (Unlocked)]
[Blood Familiar (Unlocked)]
[Current upper limit of blood dependents: 0/1]
[The great Lord of the Sacred Code, will you start calling for blood? 】
Summon an existence with the power of blood flowing in your body and sign a contract with it?
Does this mean... could it be to summon other vampires?
Looking at the description in her field of vision, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She didn't know if she understood it correctly, but no matter what, since she had the "power of blood", the object of the summons must be an existence related to the vampire clan.
This made her look forward to it even more.
She doesn't know how to improve the vampire's strength now. It would be great if she could summon a vampire who can impart experience.
If there was one thing that made her regretful, it was probably that the Blood Familiar contract could only be signed, rather than signed upon summoning.
"It seems like maybe it's time for me to act again."
The girl shook her head.
Slowly looking away, Charlotte no longer hesitated.
She first covered her figure with crimson mist, and then called:
"start!"
The crimson brilliance bloomed again, filling the entire field of vision like an exploding supernova.
A bright crimson starry sky appeared in front of Charlotte.
In the starry sky, there are countless bloody stars flashing continuously.
Some are illusory and dim, and some are bright and dazzling.
They vary in size and distance, but without exception they all give Charlotte an inexplicable sense of closeness.
The bigger the star, the stronger the light, and the stronger the aura.
Charlotte didn't even dare to take a closer look at the brightest ones. Their aura was so powerful that she felt suffocated just by glancing at them.
And further away, there are even five stars that look like the sun.
Because the light was so bright that it nearly blinded her eyes, Charlotte blocked them directly.
Obviously, each of these stars represents an object that can be summoned.
"Perhaps... I should choose the weaker one first. If the opponent is too strong, even if I can successfully summon him, it will be difficult for me to suppress him, let alone sign a contract."
"And you don't have to sign a contract this time. It's enough to familiarize yourself with the summoning mechanism and accumulate some experience. Currently, there is only one position for the dependents. You must summon several times to choose the best and most suitable one."
Charlotte thought.
She is still very self-aware.
Now she doesn't even have a rank, so even if she is summoned, she has to be more stable.
After some picking and choosing, Charlotte chose the one with the weaker aura among the stars closest to her.
"This should be good. The aura is not too strong. It can even be said to be very weak, but it is not the weakest either. It is just suitable for the first summoning practice!"
With Charlotte's choice, the star suddenly bloomed with brilliance.
But the next second, she felt a powerful and terrifying aura slowly coming...
…
This is a gorgeous bathroom.
In the giant marble-carved bathhouse, mist filled the air, and countless red rose petals were floating in the water.
A man with a slender figure and handsome appearance was half lying in the bathtub, looking relaxed and at ease.
He has long burgundy hair and a pair of pointed ears. His left hand is resting on the edge of the bathtub, and his right hand is holding a goblet filled with red wine. Behind him, there are two scantily clad girls with animal ears massaging his shoulders.
.
The man took a sip of red wine and handed it elegantly to the girl with animal ears who was kneeling beside him. Then he smiled and said to the indifferent female knight standing on the bank of the bathing pool:
"Miss Kara, let me reiterate."
"Our Rose Society has always been good and law-abiding citizens. Although we have had transactions with Countess Castel, we have not participated in the activities of the Blood Demon Order."
"You want to investigate the Blood Demon Cult from me, but I'm afraid you asked the wrong person."
The female knight standing on the shore is none other than Kara, the captain of the Demon Hunting Station.
She looked at the man in the bath coldly and asked expressionlessly:
"Sebas, where are the cursed pages sold by Countess Castel?"
"This is a difficult question for you. You should also know that Rose Club never inquires about the whereabouts of the items for sale."
The man opened his mouth and happily swallowed the grapes that the girl with animal ears had peeled for him.
"Have you seen this symbol?"
The female knight took out another piece of parchment with a pattern of thorns and roses from her arms.
"Symbol? Haha, you really know how to joke. Isn't this the rosette on Coria's side?"
The man smiled.
After saying that, when he saw the serious look on the female knight's face, he felt slightly moved in his heart:
"What? Is there something wrong with this pattern?"
Silver light flowed in Kara's pupils.
She did not explain, but looked at the man deeply, said nothing, and turned around to leave.
"Hey! Why don't you explain it! It's not a good habit to whet people's appetites!"
The man waved.
But Kara's figure has completely disappeared.
Looking at the direction the other person was leaving, the man slowly put away his smile.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the maid beside him:
"Go and check to see if there are any mysterious cases related to Thorn Rose recently."
The maid respectfully excused herself.
The man picked up the refilled wine glass and took a sip of red wine. A light flashed in his hand, and a bloody page appeared.
"Haha, the Rose Club never asks about the whereabouts of the items for sale. Unfortunately, I was the one who bought it."
The man said to himself with a smile.
Looking at the crimson page, his eyes gradually deepened:
"Curse page...are you really as predicted, can you help me solve the problem?"
The inexplicable sleepiness gradually began to rise.
