"Great Master, I have already investigated clearly. Those two vampires are heading towards you."
"Their purpose is to assassinate you and then blame everything on the Duke."
Sebastian said solemnly.
"Assassinate me? Put the blame on the Duke?"
The goblet in Charlotte's hand paused slightly.
"Yes."
Sebastian nodded respectfully.
"Who gave them the order?"
Charlotte became more serious and continued to ask.
Sebastian's expression was a little troubled.
Charlotte understood instantly:
"died?"
Sebastian sighed:
"Yes, they are dead."
"When I planned to continue interrogating the culprits behind them, they died. They died of the burning blood of the vampires, without even leaving their souls..."
"They are not only vampires, but also blood servants. They are slaves of higher-level vampires. They have a contract with death if they violate it! They are the forbidden blood servants of the dark clan!"
Are blood servants forbidden?
Charlotte was thoughtful.
After possessing the "Blood Sacred Book", she also understood some of the titles and levels of the Vampire Clan.
The blood clan forest can be divided into seven levels from bottom to top:
Blood Squire, Blood Baron, Blood Viscount, Blood Earl, Blood Marquis or Duke, Blood Grand Duke or Prince, and True Ancestor.
They respectively correspond to the non-level transcendent, the first level of stars, the second level of silver moon, the third level of blazing sun, the fourth level of legend, as well as demigod and true god.
Among them, the titles of marquis and duke, as well as the titles of grand duke or prince, completely depend on the identity and position of the vampire clan, as well as their status in the vampire clan, and they belong to the same level in terms of strength.
In addition to the seven classes, there is a special class called blood servants.
Blood servants usually refer to those beings who were first embraced by the vampires but were not fully endowed with the power of the vampires.
They are generally just pre-transcendent beings with some vampire powers, and are not recognized as fellow beings by the vampires.
The biggest difference between them and the lowest-level servants of blood is that they cannot embrace others for the first time.
Every blood servant has signed the most stringent blood contract with its "master", which is no less stringent than the final oath of a servant of the God of Contract. The master can end the blood servant's life at any time and within a certain distance.
They are the most basic slaves of the vampire clan.
But there is an exception.
That is, some vampires will apply the contract originally applied to blood servants to other vampires, turning other low-level vampires into their own slaves.
Or in other words, simply directly enhance the power of the blood servant to the level of the blood clan.
As a result, slaves with vampire power appeared.
They are called forbidden blood servants.
Charlotte learned from church books that this practice was also prohibited among the vampires.
Because in the eyes of most vampires, this kind of behavior that leads to class chaos is a great insult to the noble vampires, and it also poses a huge hidden danger to the social stability of the vampires.
Most of the vampire clans are firmly opposed to this and strictly prohibit it.
Except for one clan.
The Clan of Darkness - Sherdit.
The person who rules the Dark Clan is Charlotte’s “old acquaintance”, the Blood Demon Archduke Abaddon.
It was obvious that the Blood Demon Order was targeting Charlotte and wanted her dead.
Charlotte was not particularly surprised by this, after all, the crazy criticizing old witch had already wanted her to die once, and the old woman was a member of the Blood Demon Order.
However, the old woman was sacrificing for her bloodline. She had held the cursed page for a long time, so her mind may not have been so clear, or her actions may have been completely contrary to the Blood Demon Order.
But now that the Blood Demon Order has taken action again, it at least shows that the Blood Demon Order does not want Charlotte to live.
So the question is, what good will her death do to the Blood Demon Order?
And...why would the other party put the blame on the Duke?
After thinking for a while, Charlotte asked:
"I heard that the Rose Society and the Blood Demon Order also had transactions. How much do you know about the Blood Demon Order?"
Sebastian thought for a while and replied respectfully:
"The Blood Demon Order is an underground secret sect that believes in the Blood Demon Archduke. It has been active in the West Unite area, especially the Crescent Kingdom."
"Almost all of their core members are vampires, and they will also absorb some humans as peripheral members. They are also the vampire sect that once subverted the Crescent Kingdom in history."
"The Vampires are called Vampires in the Crescent Kingdom because of them."
"Oh, by the way, great master, these madmen also like to collect cursed pages. I think you will also be very interested in them."
The remaining pages of the holy book...
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
I have to say, she did become interested.
Seeing the girl becoming more and more serious, Sebastian continued:
"According to legend, there is only one purpose for the Blood Demon Order to be active, and that is to find a way to bring the Grand Duke of the Blood Demon to the world."
"The Fire Demon Disaster ten years ago was a disaster planned by the Blood Demon Order."
"It is said that they bewitched Count Broglie at that time in order to summon the Fire Demon Vararoca where the Blood Demon Archduke sat, and then made the Blood Demon Archduke use the body of the Fire Demon Valarroca as his holy body to descend into the incarnation of a god!
"
"Of course, they failed in the end, and even the half-descended Flame Demon Valaroka was sealed."
"But in the past six months, the number of missing persons and murder cases in Boulder has increased sharply, especially in the outer city. There are almost all vampires behind them, and traces of shadow magic and necromancy magic are very common..."
"So, we have always suspected that the Blood Demon Cult is starting to make moves again."
"That's why we make a deal with someone who may be a member of the Blood Demon Order."
"Of course, to be more precise, it is a deal with the vampires of the Dark Clan, because we are not sure which vampire is a member of the Blood Demon Order."
"You know, even if they are from the same clan, it does not mean that they will be loyal to their prince and grand duke, let alone join the corresponding religious order."
"Speaking of it, in fact, what we do with the blood clan of the Dark Clan is just some ordinary intelligence business or serious goods trading, and our real purpose is to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Blood Demon Cult and figure out their
Purpose."
"After all... in a sense, they are also enemies of the Rose Society."
Charlotte was a little surprised:
"Enemies of the Rose Society?"
"That's right."
Sebastian nodded and continued:
"The Rose Society is the underground master of Boulder, and maintaining the underground order in Boulder is one of the Rose Society's responsibilities."
"We won't care about vendettas or duels, nor will we care about battles between extraordinary beings. But if someone extends his tentacles from the darkness to the light and uses extraordinary power to harm innocent civilians,
Then we have to take care of it.”
"Obviously, the Blood Demon Order has crossed the line. The Rose Society was not established ten years ago, and their activities have nothing to do with me, but it is different now."
Hearing this, Charlotte was a little surprised:
"I didn't expect that you, Rose Club, would have such a side. Aren't you gangsters?"
Sebastian chuckled and said:
"Of course it's a gang, but gangs have gang rules. After we collect money, we naturally have to provide protection."
"Even if it is a beggar who can only hand over three copper tanas per month, as long as he pays the money and is located within the boundaries of our Rose Society, we will provide protection."
"Of course, our protection is for extraordinary powers. If other beggars bully him, we will not care. But if extraordinary powers take action, then we will take care of it."
"The Fire Demon Valaroca has been sealed. The Blood Demon Order probably does not intend to summon the Fire Demon like they did ten years ago. They must have other purposes."
"In order to investigate the Blood Demon Cult and maintain order in the outer city, we have also conducted relevant investigations, but in the end all the clues were cut off midway... just like this time."
"The Blood Demon Order is obviously much more cautious than in the past, and it is difficult to find their clues."
"In addition, we are often interfered by nobles or churches during our investigations. Every time it seems to be a coincidence, but if there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence."
"So... I have always suspected that the Blood Demon Order is inextricably linked to the nobility and even the church."
After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:
"You mean that there are also members of the Blood Demon Order among the nobles and the church?"
"Not necessarily, it may be a cooperative relationship, and it is a very deep cooperation."
Sebastian thought for a while and said.
After hearing what Sebastian said, Charlotte looked solemn:
"Do you have any evidence?"
Sebastian thought for a while and shook his head:
"No, it's just intuition."
"In other words, you suspect that the Blood Demon Order's attack on me is related to the nobles or the church?"
"You have openly turned to the church, and the church has also sent a protector, so it is more likely that you are a noble."
"A noble..."
Charlotte was thoughtful.
She thought for a while and suddenly asked:
"If I died now, who do you think would benefit most?"
"a lot of."
Sebastian said.
"First of all, the church will definitely suffer a loss because the commitment you made to the church cannot be realized until you inherit the territory."
"Something happened before you inherited the territory. The Duke and the nobles of the duchy can completely deny your proposal to the church on the grounds that you have not officially inherited the territory."
"Of course, this also means that the relationship with the church has deteriorated, so...the mastermind behind the scenes is obviously not afraid of the deterioration of the relationship with the church, or to be more precise, is not afraid of the deterioration of the relationship with the high priest."
"The Duke will also suffer a loss, especially since this frame-up is very clever, because he really has the motive to assassinate you... After all, even if you turn to the church, you have not truly inherited the territory."
"Of course, this is definitely not done by the Duke. Not to mention that the framed target is the Duke, the high priest also has the right to withdraw the sacramental blessing from Lenno at any time, because this is not so legal, but violates the "Sacred Code"
A borderline ball..."
"To sum up, the ones who are most likely to benefit are the nobles in the principality, and it is also the big nobles. Like the Duke, they also have the same motive to assassinate you."
"Once something happens to you, even though the Duke is the first successor to Castel, he will definitely be interfered by the church. In the end, I'm afraid it will still be the nobility of the duchy, and the great nobility, who will get the benefits."
"Except for your current identity, there are six vassal counts in the Principality of Boulder. Each of these six nobles is suspected."
After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:
"I have turned to the church, but they still dare to take action blatantly?"
Sebastian shook his head:
"It may not have been true in the past, but the timing now is very delicate."
"Master, do you know that your resuscitation was observed by the church's divine clock and the news was suppressed?"
Charlotte nodded:
"Heard something."
She heard Nice talk about this.
"So do you know why the church suppressed the news?"
Sebastian asked again.
Charlotte replied subconsciously:
"Of course it's because the high priest is preparing to serve as the chief priest. He doesn't want to cause trouble at this juncture..."
When she said this, she was slightly startled.
Suddenly a bright light flashed in her mind, and she vaguely understood why the Blood Demon Order left the Holy Emblem of Thorns and Roses behind after committing the crime...
"So... they faked the scene to threaten the high priest with the evil god's resurrection?"
Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Yes, once it is revealed that the great priest suppressed the evil god's resurrection, no matter how great his contribution, he will not be able to dream of being a priest, because this is a matter of principle."
Sebastian said.
Charlotte understood immediately.
I gave the great priest a great gift.
But a certain nobleman who was connected to the Blood Demon Order, or simply a member of the Blood Demon Order, also held the key to the high priest concealing the evil god's resurgence.
After discovering that Charlotte had turned to the church, the other party took decisive action and designed a case with thorns and roses at the scene, in order to warn the high priest.
"Does anyone know about Thorns and Roses?"
Charlotte narrowed her eyes.
"You have to ask your pet cat. Not many people know about the evil god's resurrection, maybe only a few people, and the source of the information about the Rose Society is that it was resold into the black market half a month ago."
Sebastian chuckled happily.
Charlotte:……
At the same time, the black cat Ness, who was sitting next to Quasimodo and panting, suddenly shivered coldly.
