The roster is recorded in red handwriting, which is neat and elegant. Even though Charlotte's handwriting is terrible, she can see that the herringbone handwriting used to record the roster is quite good. Even Sebas may not be able to compare with it.
She opened it curiously, browsed it briefly, and found that it was a directory of nobles who had dealings with the Blood Demon Order.
Or to be more precise, it is the downline of the Blood Demon Order's development among the nobles.
There are many people on the list, a thick one, ranging from the palace nobles walking in the palace, to the noble officers responsible for patrolling the city defense, from the direct members of the big noble families, to the down-and-out nobles who are no different from the poor... various identities
, available at all levels.
Charlotte even saw that the heads of several well-known noble families, who were also prestigious noble lords in the kingdom, were also on the list.
Most of them are nobles in the kingdom who support the third prince, but there are also some neutral nobles and some royal nobles.
What's even more outrageous is that Charlotte also saw the names of some church priests, including the former Boulder High Priest Linus.
Of course, Linus's name has been crossed out.
Moreover, after his name, the time and cause of his death were recorded in another slightly worse handwriting, namely "September 4, 1444, burned at the stake, died in the Lutetia Tribunal of the Holy Royal Court" or something like that.
After reading this list, Charlotte quite understood why the Holy Royal Court had been clearing out the Blood Demon Cult, but could never completely eliminate it.
Just looking at this list, the New Moon nobles are almost infiltrated into a sieve.
Although not all the nobles on the list have joined the Blood Demon Order, as long as they are on the list, it at least means that the other party is willing to trade with the Blood Demon Order and even provide shelter.
With the nobles holding back, and the corrupt priests within the Holy Royal Court colluding with the Blood Demon Order, it would be difficult for the church to wipe out the Blood Demon Order in one fell swoop.
Charlotte thought it was a miracle that she could suppress the Blood Demon Order openly.
After browsing the roster, Charlotte closed it gently.
This roster is of great significance. If it is handed over to the church, the Blood Demon Order will be severely damaged.
To be honest, Charlotte was a little moved.
Although the core members of the Blood Demon Order are also vampires, she does not have a good impression of these guys who can be called "terrorists".
These guys have already set their sights on her, and they are not rude to each other. Since these guys can report her to the church, she can also report them to the church, and use the church's hand to give a severe blow to the Blood Demon Cult.
However, what makes Charlotte a little confused is that in the memory she read, Bertrand joined the Blood Demon Order only three years ago.
In only three years, could Bertrand be able to hold such a roster that only the top leaders of the Blood Demon Order are qualified to control?
Of course, Charlotte's doubts only lasted for a moment.
She soon figured it out on her own.
Bertrand has only been a member of the Blood Demon Order for three years, but he is actually the forbidden blood servant of the Dark Apostle Albrecht.
The power he holds within the Blood Demon Order is an extension of the power of the Dark Apostle, and this is probably why he became the Earl of Blood.
In this way, although he has only joined the Blood Demon Order for three years, due to his relationship with the Dark Apostle, he is already considered a high-ranking member of the order.
After understanding the reason, Charlotte put down the roster and looked at another notepad.
She opened the title page and found that it turned out to be Bertrand's diary.
The handwriting in the diary is different from the elegant and neat handwriting on the roster.
However, it is exactly the same as the second type of modifications on the roster.
Obviously, there was someone else who wrote the roster. Someone gave the roster to Bertrand, and Bertrand supplemented it on this basis.
The diary was a few years old, and the earliest one contained some experiences of Bertrand's early years. Charlotte skipped them all and turned to recent years to read.
The records in the diary were similar to the memories she had read.
In recent years, the elderly Bertrand has become more and more aware of the horror of the passage of time. The aging of his body and the regression of strength have made him more and more anxious. As the head of the Chevalier family, once he dies, the family's
His strength will also be greatly reduced, and as a last resort, he can only find various ways to extend his life.
In the process, he got acquainted with the Blood Demon Order.
The Blood Demon Order invited him to join the organization in exchange for helping him solve his lifespan problem. The diary also recorded Bertrand's inner struggle during that period.
However... he was ultimately unable to face the fear of death and accepted the deal with the Blood Demon Order.
Then, he held a first embrace ceremony with the Dark Apostle of the Blood Demon Order and became a forbidden blood servant.
After that, the Dark Apostle handed him the list of the Blood Demon Order's contacts with nobles and holy priests, appointed him as the Blood Demon Order's chief priest in Lutesia, and ordered him to secretly win over more nobles.
, and presided over the sacrificial ceremony in the royal capital of Lutesia.
As for the specific content of the sacrificial ceremony, the diary did not write down.
It's not that Bertrand didn't want to write, some relevant text passages in the diary were obviously intended to write down the relevant content of the sacrificial ceremony, but every time that time, the handwriting would suddenly become scrawled, as if the person who wrote it was
Trembling.
Charlotte could almost guess the reason. It should be that the specific content of the ceremony was listed as a taboo that could not be disclosed by the Blood Servant Mark, not even in a diary. When Bertrand wrote this, the Soul Mark should have reacted.
Seeing this, Charlotte shook her head slightly:
"He is said to be the chief priest, but in fact he is just cannon fodder..."
Yes, cannon fodder.
After all, the Blood Demon Order is a supernatural organization of the blood race. How could the real high-level leader be a blood servant? This Bertrand is probably just a tool for the Dark Apostle to execute orders.
The blood power of the earl level is not so easy to get. It is easy to come and take it back. The forbidden blood servant is originally the slave of a higher level blood. When the Blood Demon Order achieves its goal, I am afraid he will be
throw away.
However, in addition to the sacrificial ceremony, Bertrand recorded some of his experiences within the Blood Demon Order.
This part of the content made Charlotte interested, especially about the internal structure of the Blood Demon Order.
What surprised Charlotte was that the internal organizational structure of the Blood Demon Order was actually not that strict. Although the branches of the Blood Demon Order in various places all nominally obeyed the orders of the Dark Apostle, they actually worked independently.
war.
Summoning the Blood Demon Grand Duke into the real world is the goal of all Blood Demon Cults. However, the organizations of the Blood Demon Cults in various places have their own ideas and plans and have not unified their forces.
This is also what Bertrand complained about in his diary.
Judging from the date, it was probably written after the two failed divine descending rituals in Boulder and Northland.
This answered one of Charlotte's questions, which was why she felt that wherever she went, the Blood Demon cultists she encountered seemed to be preparing for a divine descending ceremony.
In addition to these nagging complaints and complaints, the diary also records some of Bertrand's attempts to win over nobles and even priests.
In the past three years, he has successfully won over many nobles and clergymen, and some people have even been converted into vampires. For all the people he has won over, the "deal" provided by the Blood Demon Order is almost the same.
That is "eternal life".
Charlotte was not surprised. Even if the vampire's "immortality" has many limitations, it is still a kind of "immortality" after all.
Human beings will eventually die. No matter how powerful they are, they will return to nothingness after their lifespan. The more powerful and powerful the person is, the more they revere and fear death...
The fear of death and the desire for power are the breeding ground for the faith of the Blood Demon Order to grow.
The Vampires have a very high level of identification with the Vampires. Most of the Vampire clans, even if they have parted ways long ago, still follow the ancient creeds of the Vampires.
One of them is to maintain the purity of the bloodline and limit the unlimited spread of bloodline power.
Among all the blood-born organizations, only the Blood Demon Order does not follow this point and dares to openly exchange "first support" for benefits.
Of course, only God knows whether it is the first time you become a vampire or the first time you become a "blood servant".
After browsing Bertrand's diary, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and closed it.
There is a reason why the Blood Demon Order can continue in the Crescent Region. As long as there are people who are afraid of death, they will not lack new believers.
But Charlotte was a little curious about the ancient creeds that vampires must follow.
[Vampires are not allowed to create forbidden blood servants]. Charlotte knows the reason for this rule. It is nothing more than to prevent chaos and collapse of the Vampire hierarchy.
Then why is it [restricting the unlimited spread of bloodline power]?
In order to prevent too many immortal vampires from competing for resources?
Charlotte was a little curious.
"My understanding of the Vampire Clan is still too limited. Maybe I can find some way to get some Vampire Clan classics and information from Yurst if I have the opportunity in the future."
Charlotte thought.
After putting the diary and roster back together, Charlotte thought for a moment and planned to hand them over to the church.
There is no way, she is such a good citizen with a sense of justice.
Not only that, she also wants to do it faster.
Her incarnation can only last for one day at most, and will self-destruct after one day.
Before, she had thought that she could fake Bertrand's death by becoming possessed, but when she saw the roster, she realized that this method would not work.
Bertrand's identity is even more special than she imagined. He holds the roster of the Blood Demon Order, so the Dark Apostles must be paying close attention to him.
Once this incarnation dies, the dark apostles of the Blood Demon Order will definitely be vigilant.
She had to hand over the information to the church before the dark apostles noticed it, and she had to get the church to act quickly.
So...how to hand it over to the church, and how to get the church to take action quickly?
A figure naturally appeared in Charlotte's mind.
That's the undercover demon-hunting knight.
But soon, she overturned this idea.
The efficiency of relying on undercover witcher knights to spread the news is still too low.
Moreover, who can guarantee that the church will take action quickly after delivering the news?
Unless...it gives the church a reason to take action quickly.
Charlotte's heart moved and she had a bold idea...
Of course, before executing this idea, she had to "ship" the loot back.
After thinking about it, Charlotte put away the diary and roster, then packed up all the high-value extraordinary materials and equipment in the secret room and piled them together.
Then, she selected some extraordinary materials specially used to draw magic circles and set up a sacrificial circle on the ground.
In the center of the sacrificial circle is the symbol of thorns and roses.
This is the sacrificial circle pointing to the "Blood True Ancestor".
Charlotte learned the sacrificial circle from Nice.
She had tried it before. After the belief network was activated, she had gained some abilities similar to those of a god. One of them was to receive sacrifices through the belief network.
Of course, to say it is a sacrifice, to be more precise, is more like a fixed-point transmission using the belief network.
The location of the teleportation is the Dark Night Castle in her spiritual world. After teleportation, it can also be teleported back through [Divine Grace Blessing], as long as the effect of the blessing is positioned as [Blessing].
Charlotte drew the magic circle crookedly, put the "trophy" in it, and then communicated with the Blood Sacred Scripture in her heart to establish a connection with the magic circle.
As the Lord of the Holy Scriptures, she does not need to pray to herself, she only needs to directly establish a spell connection.
Following her thoughts, the sacrificial circle shimmered, and the items in the circle shone slightly before disappearing.
At the same time, there were piles of miscellaneous things in the corners of the Dark Night Castle.
After collecting the spoils of war, Charlotte felt certain.
She erased the thorns and roses from the magic circle, and then modified it into a magic circle for summoning demons.
She copied it from the magic books collected by Bertrand on the bookshelf, except that she omitted the spells for the types of demons to be summoned.
The specific spells required to summon a demon are all kinds of strange, and there is no fixed number. As long as they are related to the target demon you want to summon, of course, the more accurately the spell is described, the more accurate the summoning will be.
For example, the spells for summoning demons recorded in the Blood Sacred Scripture are very precise.
After modifying the magic circle, Charlotte painted the well-protected "Blood Servant Mark" on the body...
Immediately afterwards, she closed her eyes, communicated with the Blood Scripture, and activated the [Devil Contract].
The Blood Sacred Scripture bloomed with brilliance, and Charlotte felt vaguely as if she was connected to the boundless darkness. There were countless evil auras, strong or weak, in that darkness, which seemed to be waiting for her to communicate.
However, she did not choose to communicate with those evil auras, but directly connected to the "Blood Servant Mark" protected by the divine power of blood...
At this moment, the "Blood Servant Mark" and the magic circle for summoning demons were successfully connected with the help of the [Devil Contract]!
Immediately afterwards, Charlotte removed the divine power of blood that protected the "Blood Servant Mark" and also dissipated the [Devil Contract], and even her consciousness quickly left this body.
Without the protection of divine power, the "Blood Servant Mark" quickly collapsed, and a powerful and evil aura surged against the mark, enveloping it with some kind of angry will.
Then, that aura was quickly drawn to the summoning circle on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a new summoning spell was slowly formed in the magic circle.
The dark apostles of the Blood Demon Cult also have demon blood...
In an instant, the magic circle was quickly lit up, a dazzling light rose into the sky, and a terrifying will slowly descended.
In addition to being angry, there was also...a bit of shock.
