Tome of Blood

Marie de Broglie?

The eldest daughter of Earl Broglie?

Didn't she already die in the Fire Demon Calamity?

No... Her current state seems a little strange.

Looking at the girl who revealed her identity in front of her, Charlotte was extremely surprised.

However, when the other party named Charlotte's identity, it made her heart beat wildly.

Who did she recognize in my body?

She also knows... I'm not the original Charlotte?

Charlotte looked at the little girl in front of her with a feeling of surprise, and saw that the other girl was respectful, and her expression seemed to be very nervous...

She was so familiar with this expression, it was exactly the same as when Sebas first realized her identity.

Charlotte understood in an instant.

Like Sebastian, the girl regarded her as some ancient existence that descended into this body.

"Do you know who I am?"

Charlotte asked back.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head:

"I don't know who you are..."

As she said that, the girl smiled again, and the smile seemed to be slightly sentimental:

"However, seeing my friend who should have passed away reappeared in front of me after being polluted by the Balrog, even knowing that she is no longer her, still makes me happy..."

"You are angry for the wronged souls here. Your anger makes me fearful. At the same time, I am afraid...and make me yearn..."

"You are an upright and noble being, and you have the great power to stop everything and change everything."

"As long as you are willing, in my eyes...you are her."

Hearing the girl's sad yet hopeful words, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She was silent for a moment, and sighed softly:

"Now, I am Charlotte de Castel."

The girl smiled.

Smiling very happily, very relieved.

She caught Charlotte's underlying meaning.

Now, she is Charlotte de Castel.

Likewise, she will take on the responsibility of matching who she is now.

"Master... who are you talking to?"

Seeing Charlotte who was speaking to the air, Sebastian was a little puzzled.

"An old friend, you can't see her."

Charlotte said.

So... people?

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked towards the gloomy cave with an even more bewildered expression.

Obviously, there may be some discrepancies between the old man he understood and what Charlotte wanted to express.

The girl's state is very strange. She is not an undead, but she is not an entity either. It is more like a magical idea, but it can only be perceived by her.

Charlotte could feel that the reason why she could see the other party seemed to be the Holy Book of Blood at work, because she noticed a trace of familiar and friendly aura in the other party, which seemed to have the same origin as the Holy Book.

"thank you……"

"Great... Lady Charlotte."

The girl saluted Charlotte again.

And after saluting, the girl's expression became eager again:

"Miss Charlotte..."

"Please save Bold, please...save my sister Lottie."

"Bilun, the high priest of the Gorefiend Cult, wants to summon the evil god Gorefiend to come into the world, and he has already made the final preparations!"

"The real purpose of calling the Balrog ten years ago was not to summon the Balrog."

"My father was wronged, he was wronged!"

"He just wanted to cure Lottie and I's innate physical weakness, but was framed and controlled by the Gorefiend Sect!"

"The Blood Demon Sect failed to summon the Balrog, but they don't care whether they fail or not..."

"They are using the power of the Balrog to leave a body that can be used as a container and an anchor for the Gorefiend Grand Duke in this world!"

"He wants to use my body as the holy body of the Gorefiend Duke, the twins are concentric, and he wants to use my sister's soul... as a medium to awaken the Gorefiend Duke!"

"Time is running out, really not much..."

"The death of the great knight made him decide to advance all actions!"

"Once the incarnation of the Gorefiend Duke comes to the world, the entire Principality of Boulder will be doomed!"

"Please... stop this! Only you can do it!"

Lottie?

Priest Lottie?

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

She was about to continue to ask some questions, but she suddenly became frightened when she saw the girl's expression:

"No! Don't come here! You don't come here! You don't come here!"

"No--!"

The girl's figure suddenly began to shake and flicker as if the signal had been disturbed.

Then, with a soft sound, her body turned into countless photons and dissipated...

"Mary? Mary?"

Charlotte looked serious and called out.

However, the girl's figure never appeared again.

"Mary?"

Sebas was slightly taken aback.

"It's Earl Broglie's eldest daughter. I was talking to her just now, but...she has disappeared now."

Charlotte said solemnly.

"The eldest daughter of Earl Broglie? Wait... Isn't she dead? Is she a dead soul? Her dead soul is still there?"

Sebastian was puzzled.

"No, not quite like undead..."

Charlotte shook her head.

She mastered the necromantic magic of reviving the undead, and did not feel the breath of the undead from the other party.

In her opinion, the other party gave her the feeling more like some kind of projection.

"Master, what did she tell you?"

Sebas asked.

Charlotte turned her head, looked at the coffin above the altar, and said in a deep voice:

"She told me the secret of the Gorefiend Cult..."

"Sebas, the Gorefiend Cult is preparing for a divine descent of the Gorefiend Duke!"

"They... are going to summon Abaddon's avatar!"

...

Somewhere in Boulder.

A crooked figure covered in a black robe, looking coldly at the altar in front of him.

On the altar, there are layers of sarcoma and blood vessels attached to each other. They meet each other and gather above the altar, connecting a mass of swollen and ugly flesh.

The mass of flesh looked like a twisted octopus, with tentacles made of blood vessels tightly surrounding a huge eye.

The eyes are tightly closed, in the shape of a sphere, covered with fluffy tentacles, and a human face is faintly visible on the wrinkled eyelids, which looks like a girl with an extremely painful expression.

And around the eyeball, a series of illusory black chains protruded from all around, imprisoning it tightly.

The rickety figure stood in front of the lump of meat, looked at the face on the eyeballs with cold eyes, and said coldly:

"It seems that I have indulged you too much, and you went out again."

"You heard my talk with Anthony, and you want to find that mysterious evil god for help?"

"Hmph! As I said, don't struggle anymore, your fate is already doomed!"

"You are so stupid, do you really think that an evil god whose strength has not yet recovered dares to appear in the gaze of my lord, who is a blood prince?"

"Next, you just stay here honestly. Before the ceremony starts, you don't even think about going anywhere."

While the rickety figure was speaking, a Gorefiend cultist came behind him and saluted respectfully:

"Master High Priest..."

"What is it?"

The hunchbacked figure said coldly.

"Your Earl has just sent a message that the Drunken Dream Salon is about to start, asking when the collection ceremony will be held."

The Gorefiend believers are respectful and authentic.

The crooked figure chuckled lightly and said lightly:

"Leave him alone."

"The devil's eye already has enough energy, and the container and medium are already in place."

"His mission...has been accomplished."

At the same time, in the bathroom on the second floor of the manor where Drunken Dream Salon is located.

Earl Tulip, who had finished washing, also put on a new mage robe.

He smiled slightly, put on his own mask, and said to the servants on his left and right:

"The salon is about to start, let's go."
