Chapter 159 9 Castel's Enemy

Chapter 159 -9- Castel's Enemy

"Blood Clan... Undead... So, the ones who attacked us are probably the Blood Demon Cult. Those disgusting guys like to play with corpses the most."

Sebastian's heart moved slightly and said.

Charlotte frowned:

"These guys are really haunting."

"Hey, after all, the Crescent Kingdom is the main place for the Shedit Clan (Dark Clan) to operate... Master, how do you plan to deal with these traitors who betrayed you?"

Sebastian asked respectfully.

He has already taken on the role of the True Ancestor's butler and regarded all the blood clans who attacked Charlotte as traitors of the blood clan.

As for how to locate the location of the undead controller, Sebastian stopped asking after knowing that the blood clan was behind it, because he believed that his great master had his own way.

Apart from anything else, Sebastian had witnessed Charlotte awakening the sleeping undead with a wave of her hand in Boulder, directly triggering a disaster of undead. That powerful force was unforgettable to this day. He did not think that these undead controlled by the blood clan would pose a threat to their master.

He believed that as long as his master was willing, he would be able to seize control of all these undead in an instant!

Sebastian's confidence increased greatly, but Charlotte did not intend to confront the blood clan who controlled the undead behind the scenes.

Her real strength was only the first level of the stars. Although she had improved a lot of strength by cramming "drinking blood and eating tonic" in the past year, she was still just a low-level extraordinary person.

If she wanted to compete with the blood clan behind the scenes for control of the undead, she would definitely need to use the power of blood to perform some [true ancestor liberation], and it was likely to consume a lot of power like in Boulder.

In the past year, Charlotte has truly felt the difficulty of replenishing her power. She did not want to use her power easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

Using divine power to deal with these low- and middle-level undead is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Not to mention that seizing control of the undead will further intensify the current battle and increase the variables.

The best way to deal with the necromancer is to capture the leader first.

After knowing that the vampires were behind the trouble, Charlotte had a better idea in her mind.

After taking a look at the camp fortifications that could last for a while under the cover of divine arts and magic, Charlotte pondered for a moment and said:

"Stay outside for me and don't let anyone disturb me."

After speaking, she entered the tent alone.

Black Cat Nice and Sebastian looked at each other, and Nice's heart moved slightly:

"Old man... is he going to use the authority of the ancestor?"

Sebastian smiled and showed his white teeth:

"Guess?"

Nice:...

...

After Charlotte entered the tent, she immediately sank into consciousness and communicated with the Holy Book of Blood.

Night is the home ground of the vampires, and they are good at hiding. It is indeed difficult to find a vampire who is hiding somewhere and controlling the undead in the vast violet forest.

But Charlotte has the Holy Book of Blood.

Even if the vampire who controls the undead is not as strong as the blazing sun, he is at least as strong as the silver moon. Without using the divine power of blood, she is probably not the opponent of the other party.

But Charlotte has the Holy Book of Blood.

All the vampires can be summoned into the Dark Night Castle by Charlotte through the blood summon.

As long as she summons the consciousness of the mastermind behind the scenes, the controlled tide of undead will lose the spiritual connection and will naturally collapse.

No matter how strong the other party is in reality, in her dream world, she can only let her control it.

As for how to locate the other party... find the scarlet star that is closest to her and whose breath is the same as the breath in the dirty blood of the zombies she feels.

Thinking of this, Charlotte decisively entered the dream world of the Dark Night Castle.

Transformed into an adult again, she sat high on the illusory throne of blood, gently flipped the heavy blood holy book in her hand, and began to perform blood summoning.

Crimson mist suddenly spread in the dark night castle, and red stars slowly emerged.

The first thing Charlotte saw was the two stars representing Sebastian and Nice.

One of them was her blood dependent, and the other was her contracted servant. They both had more or less blood power in their bodies, so they could naturally be observed by blood summoning.

And after the two, it was the star that symbolized Lottie's sister Mary.

When she rescued Mary in Boulder City, Charlotte also used the dark power of the blood race, and the blood power in the other party's soul was also left from that time.

Of course, because she hasn't found a suitable body yet, the other party is still "living" in the crystal ball, and the crystal ball is temporarily kept by Lottie.

These are the three stars representing "her own people" closest to Charlotte.

The next star that is further away may be the vampires who control the undead.

However, when the fourth star appeared, Charlotte was stunned.

The fourth star... was still very close to her.

It was so close that it almost overlapped with the first three stars!

Not only that, the crimson light was extremely pure, much purer than Sebastian, who was a blood family, giving Charlotte an unprecedented sense of closeness.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:

There are vampires hiding in the caravan?

And it seems that they are very close to her blood?

Charlotte was immediately interested.

The other party was so well hidden that she didn't even notice it along the way!

However, although she was curious, Charlotte quickly suppressed her thoughts.

After replenishing dozens of fragments, the power of the Blood Book was stronger than before. Through the crimson star, she could feel that the other party's breath was not the necromancer she was looking for...

This was just a vampire who hid his identity and followed the convoy.

Moreover, his strength should not be high.

Because the light of the star was not bright, and the breath was pure, but it was much weaker than Sebastian's.

Charlotte did not act rashly.

Even though, she was very curious about the other party's purpose.

The other party must not know that he had been discovered.

She could wait until this undead tide was dealt with, and then check who the vampire hidden in the convoy was, and what his purpose was.

As for now, finding the person behind the undead tide is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, Charlotte continued to focus her consciousness on the vast crimson sea of ​​stars.

The mist spread, and soon... two new stars emerged.

One had a mixed breath but a slightly brighter glow, and the other had a slightly purer breath but a dimmer glow.

Only two?

Charlotte was stunned.

Having summoned so many undead, she thought there might be many blood clans behind the scenes, but she didn't expect that there were only two scarlet stars closest to the convoy!

Not only that, the aura of these two scarlet stars was not particularly strong, at least not as strong as Sebastian's.

This made Charlotte instantly curious, how did the other party perform such a powerful undead summoning?

Was there any other means?

Or did he control other necromancers?

Charlotte was curious.

At the same time, she also keenly felt the familiar aura from the star with a more refined aura.

It was a similar smell to that of the undead, and only this one had...

"I found you!"

Charlotte's mouth curled up slightly.

To capture the thief, first capture the king.

After finding the target, Charlotte did not hesitate, and immediately pointed to the star and began to summon blood.

The scarlet light bloomed, and the mist suddenly boiled.

However, just when Charlotte thought that the other party was about to be pulled into the Dark Night Castle by herself, the summoning failed.

The star representing the necromancer just trembled slightly, and then there was no movement.

"Failed?"

Charlotte was a little surprised.

She knew very well that the blood power represented by this star was not strong, and was even much weaker than Sebastian's.

But even Sebastian had successfully summoned him in one go, so why did the other party's summoning get stuck?

Charlotte instantly became interested.

She didn't believe in evil, so she summoned him again.

However, this time, it failed again.

In the dark, Charlotte felt a vague resistance that was preventing her from summoning.

Charlotte frowned.

She communicated with the Holy Book of Blood and further strengthened her power, but as her power increased, the resistance also began to increase.

Charlotte was more motivated, continued to strengthen the summoning, and even began to use the power of blood, but at this moment, the entire crimson sea of ​​stars suddenly trembled slightly.

In the depths of the sea of ​​stars that Charlotte had shielded, an extremely dazzling star suddenly shone and reappeared, almost blinding Charlotte's eyes.

Charlotte shouted "Fuck!" and immediately stopped summoning, and the dazzling star slowly disappeared.

Charlotte's mood sank slightly.

There are five giant stars in the depths of the crimson sea of ​​stars, which may represent the five princes of the five bloodline directions of the blood clan.

She tried to summon but was stopped, which only means one thing, that is, the summoned person has the protection of the blood clan prince.

Charlotte believes that she should be able to break through this obstacle after using the power of blood.

But that also means that she is likely to be noticed by the blood clan prince.

"Is the person behind the scenes a relative of a blood clan prince?"

Charlotte frowned.

She became alert instantly, and she thought of countless reasons why her own convoy was targeted.

She couldn't help but be alert, her identity was too special.

If the blood clan prince really discovered the existence of the Holy Book of Blood, Charlotte didn't think she would have a good ending.

"It shouldn't be that my identity has been exposed. If it has been, it would be normal for a blood-clan duke or marquis with legendary strength to come and capture me..."

"The other party should only have the protection of the blood-clan prince."

"A person favored by God? Or just a simple believer?"

Charlotte was thoughtful.

Except for Sebastian, she had never performed blood summons on anyone else, and for a moment she was really unsure of what was going on.

Even the high priest was pulled into the Dark Night Castle by her because he prayed to her first.

However, although the summoning failed, the action just now allowed her to successfully sense the other party's approximate coordinates.

Since it is impossible to summon him into the spiritual world, just go directly.

The other party's aura is not strong anyway.

With this thought, Charlotte withdrew from her consciousness and walked out of the tent.

"Sebastian, come with me."

...

Deep in the violet forest, on a raised hill.

Standing here and looking into the distance, through the layers of trees, the winding official road leading to Castel is looming.

At the end of the field of vision, holy light flickered, and the battle between the caravan and the tide of the undead could be vaguely seen on the road.

A girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old stood under the tree, looking into the distance.

She was wearing a black long skirt, her beautiful flaxen hair swaying slightly in the night wind, and her scarlet pupils were full of indifference.

In her hand, she was holding a heavy book, the cover of which was deep black and inlaid with dark gold lines.

She was flipping through the heavy book, and the yellowed pages were shining with a deep and dim light. Around her, one zombie after another roared and climbed up, rushing towards the official road in the distance.

Gusts of night wind blew, blowing the girl's flaxen hair a little messy.

She raised her slender hand and gently stroked her hair, retracting her sight from the silver-shining camp in the distance, and hummed:

"It seems that the information is not accurate. There is actually a powerful contract priest hidden in Castel's convoy..."

After speaking, she looked at the heavy book in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly.

As if she had made up her mind, she bit her fingertips, squeezed out a little blood, and dripped it into the opened pages of the book.

But the next moment, a powerful hand stopped her.

"Miss... that's enough. We have summoned enough undead."

The person who stopped the girl was a strong middle-aged man.

He was nearly two meters tall, wearing heavy knight armor, with a resolute look.

The girl frowned slightly:

"No, Lahaier, the Castel family has a rich heritage. Just like you can't imagine that after losing the two Blazing Suns, they actually have an elf who was once a Blazing Sun secretly loyal to them. You can't imagine how many cards this family has."

"No one knows this better than me..."

"If you want to keep the little earl of Castel here, you must go all out to avoid mistakes!"

The middle-aged knight called Lahaier hesitated.

He looked at the holy light flickering in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a deep voice:

"Miss, do you really believe that person's promise?"

"Excuse me, I don't think the blood race can really get the title in the Crescent Kingdom. Walking under the sun only means death for the blood race."

"Not to mention... you don't plan to leave any survivors at all."

After listening to La Haier's words, the girl fell silent.

She bit her lip, and a trace of unforgettable hatred flashed in her scarlet pupils:

"So what?"

"Let alone for our purpose, even if there is no promise, I will never let our enemies return to the territory smoothly!"

"All the people of Castel deserve to die, and they must die!"

The girl's voice was loud and clear, almost gritting her teeth.

At the same time, an elegant chuckle suddenly came from their side:

"Oh? Enemy? Haha, why haven't I heard of the noble Castel family, and they actually have any grudges with the blood race?"

"Who?!"

The middle-aged knight turned around instantly and drew his weapon.

I saw a slender red-haired elf slowly walking out from the shadows in the woods behind me.
