Tome of Blood

Fallen Star Kingdom, Red Apple Castle.

Earl Ulster, wearing a mage's robe, is nestling in his magic research room, concentrating on studying the structure of the inscription enchantment.

This is an interest that Ulster has cultivated for more than a thousand years, and it is also his daily pastime and obsessive way of entertainment.

As a long-lived species, one must find some fun in a long lifespan to counteract the mental wear and tear caused by the erosion of the years.

On the display shelf in the back row of the magic research room, there are all kinds of strange magic props, all of which are the works of this blood earl who is keen on alchemy and enchanting.

Suddenly, a blinding light flashed, and the half-embedded inscription in front of Yurst exploded.

A translucent shield appeared in front of Yurst, easily blocking the bursting elements.

Yurst waved his hand to disperse the drifting smoke, cursing and saying:

"It's really unlucky, it failed again!"

"How did Nicholas do it back then? He was able to perfectly balance the two opposing elements in the magic energy structure..."

"It's a pity... It's been hundreds of years and there is no news about him. It seems that some church has really chopped it up..."

"No, even if he escaped the hunt back then, I'm afraid he would have turned into a dry bone now, right? After all... with his character, even if he died, he would not choose Lich transformation or reincarnation..."

As if recalling something, Yurst sighed and said regretfully.

The study of magic inscriptions is a brain-burning job.

There are not many people who regard this kind of thing as fun, even among mages.

For more than a thousand years, only the well-known legendary mage hundreds of years ago in the human world can make Urst, the Earl of Blood, his confidant and opponent.

Unfortunately, the world is fair.

Even though the popularity of extraordinary power has allowed humans, a race with both wisdom and reproductive advantages, to achieve an explosion of overall strength, the lifespan of human extraordinary is almost the shortest among all intelligent races.

Thinking about it now, Urst estimated that the grass on Nicholas's grave would be three meters high.

"Hey, when this turmoil is over, go to East Unite when you have time. It's all about sweeping his grave."

With a dark sigh, Yurst used cleaning magic to remove the residue of the magic failure, and continued the experiment.

However, at this moment, a call originating from blood and soul suddenly acted on him.

Feeling this familiar calling, Yurst's heart skipped a beat:

"This... this is..."

Before he could react, the crimson mist spread, and accompanied by a sense of weightlessness, he returned to the majestic and solemn castle again.

Seeing the beautiful figure faintly visible under the mist on the throne, Yurst swallowed subconsciously, then quickly knelt down and said:

"You... Yourst... I have seen His Majesty the True Ancestor!"

"Your Majesty the Great True Ancestor, you summoned me... is there anything I need to do?"

On the Throne of Blood, Charlotte looked at the Earl of Blood wearing a robe and holding a magic flask in his hand, and smiled lightly:

"Yourst, it seems...you have been living a leisurely life these days, and you have started to study magic inscriptions."

Yurst's expression was a little embarrassed:

"Uh... Your Majesty the True Ancestor, you also know that just as you like to travel around the world in various identities, the long-lived species like us can only relieve the boredom of the long years by having some fun. .”

Transform into various identities and travel around the world...

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, remembering the hobby of the ancestor of the blood race.

"Okay, let's not mention your hobbies, how is the work I asked you to do?"

Charlotte asked.

"You mean to find the broken pages of the Holy Book for you, right? I've done it! I've done it!"

"In the past few months, I have been contacting my friends in the clan to inquire about the whereabouts of the remaining pages of the holy tome, and I have collected some!"

Yurst said respectfully.

Charlotte cheered up:

"Oh? Take a look."

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Um... please allow me to use space magic here!"

Yurst said.

Charlotte nodded slightly, and consciously opened up Yurst's use of magic in the spiritual world, while Yurst stretched out his hand to outline, chanted a spell, and summoned a door of space.

He took out seven crimson pages from the different space, and offered them respectfully with both hands:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, this is what I have gained in the past few months. I have exchanged them from various friends in the clan..."

Seeing the seven broken pages that Yurst took out, Charlotte was slightly happy.

The Earl of Blood deserves to be the Earl of Blood. In just three or four months, he has already found so many broken pages of the holy scriptures.

You know, it took Boulder's Gorefiend Sect to collect the 23 broken pages of the Holy Book for who knows how many years!

"good."

She nodded in satisfaction, stretched out her hand and gave it a light hook.

Following her movements, the broken pages of the holy scriptures in Yurst's hand immediately flew up, like a child who found a home, and flew towards Charlotte happily, and finally, in a crimson light, with Charlotte The previous holy scriptures of blood merged into one.

Seeing this scene, Yurst's expression became more respectful.

He took a deep breath and continued:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, besides this, there are a few remaining pages of the Holy Book that I have not yet obtained, and it will take some time to get them."

"You know, even I don't dare to collect these pages openly, which will make some people associate against you... So, I have to take my time."

"Besides, this thing is too evil... Ahhh, it's too miraculous. Few people really collect them, so I didn't find many of them."

"But I also inquired about some news. It is said that the traitor Nessim seems to have a lot of treasures... But unfortunately, we can't move him yet."

After listening to Ulster's words, Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Oh? From your tone... It seems that the Duke of Blood who fell to the Blood Demon Cult was not severely punished by your elders?"

Yurst sighed:

"Yes, I don't know what the Great Elder thinks, even though I reported Maxim's crimes to Lord Yorok, even though Lord Yorok reported Maxim's betrayal to the elders, he still did not Strictly punished, but simply ordered to ground..."

"Maxim is too cunning, he didn't leave any evidence at all, and the fleet was wiped out by him in advance."

"There is insufficient evidence, and the Presbyterian Council did not punish him heavily in the end."

"However, he doesn't feel well either. You destroyed his incarnation that he had polished for many years, which is enough for him to suffer for a long time. I heard from Lord Yorok that his aura was obviously weak during the meeting of the elders. Quite a few! And now, he can't stop Lord Yorok's actions for the time being."

After listening to Ulster's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.

A duke elder who was almost certain to have colluded with the Gorefiend Cult to attack and kill the earl was not given a heavy sentence in the end...

It seems that the division within the Nice clan is much more serious than she imagined.

After thinking about it, Charlotte asked again:

"Yourst, you were once in charge of infiltrating Castel, right? If that's the case, you should also have some secular armed forces, right?"

After hearing Charlotte's words, Yurst immediately shivered, and stammered:

"True... Your Majesty the True Ancestor! Although I did preside over the infiltration of Castel, I have stopped everything now!"

"At that time... I didn't know that you were behind Castel..."

"Not only that, I have also cooperated with the censorship of nobles in the Castel territory in the past few months, please learn from me!"

"Okay, it's been so long, I don't want to pursue anything. Tell me, do you have any secular power that you can mobilize?"

Charlotte shook her head.

"You... mean the army? Well... there are indeed some, what do you want to do? Do you want us to support Castel?"

Yurst asked curiously.

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"You are very smart."

"It is inconvenient for me to intervene in secular disputes. There are some things that you can do, and it is indeed more appropriate."

Make up for last night
