Chapter 165 15 The Betrayer

Chapter 165 -15- The Betrayer

"Lord Charlotte, entrusting Lena to you, my last wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets..."

Anna said with relief.

As she spoke, her body began to become gradually transparent, and little bits of light were released from her body and began to dissipate.

It all happened so unexpectedly.

Reina's eyes widened, she whimpered a few times, "Ahhhh", and threw herself on the old woman, but passed through her and fell to the ground.

Charlotte was stunned, and subconsciously stood up from her seat, only to see that the old woman had disappeared, leaving only a thick roll of parchment in place.

Sebastian also looked stunned.

His figure instantly flashed to the place where Ms. Anna disappeared. After sensing it for a moment, he picked up the parchment on the ground.

And when he subconsciously glanced at the content recorded on the parchment, he was quickly stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of disbelief on his face, but then he felt a little enlightened and a little sad...

He took the parchment and quickly came to Charlotte. He held the parchment in his hands and said in a complicated voice:

"Master, she is dead, no...she is already dead..."

Charlotte took it and quickly browsed it. The first piece of paper in the parchment was written with a confession to the great true ancestor.

She didn't write down what she had done, she just kept blaming herself on the parchment.

She also left her expectations and guilt for Reina on the parchment, as well as explaining her situation.

She should have been dead, or already dead.

She was once a vampire, but because she awakened the Eye of Precognition, she suffered the blood curse of the Ness family from ancient times, and she has long since run out of energy.

Now, she just wants to give Reina a future, and just wants to see the returning ancestor she saw in the last prophecy...

Once her wish was fulfilled, her obsession was gone.

That's right, obsession.

What they just talked to Charlotte and the others was just Ms. Anna’s obsession with staying in the world.

After the Blazing Sun, the spiritual power of extraordinary people will undergo incredible transformations, and if they reach legend, their will can affect reality to a certain extent.

This witch of premonition... was probably once a legend.

Looking at the lost girl Reina sitting on the ground, Charlotte sighed, cast a domination spell to soothe her mentally, and then called Shirley to take her down and take good care of her.

At the same time, the door of the tent suddenly shook, and the fat body of the black cat Ness rushed in instantly, shouting and yelling:

"Meow! What's going on? Has Sebastian ascended to heaven?"

It instantly met the eyes of the fire elf who happened to look back, and the cat and the elf's eyes widened.

Sebastian:…

His face darkened, and then quickly changed to a gentle smile:

"Your Excellency Nice, it seems that you have eaten too much recently and want to exercise to lose weight."

Nice:…

"Huh? It's strange... If you didn't ascend to heaven, then who ascended to heaven? I just clearly sensed the fluctuation of the return of the God's Favored One..."

The black cat looked around and scratched his head in confusion.

But as soon as it finished speaking, it felt like the atmosphere was not right.

In the tent, Charlotte and Sebas were all looking at it.

Nice instantly felt uncomfortable:

"Meow... Lady Charlotte, you... why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"The one favored by God?"

Charlotte raised her voice.

Nice felt even more guilty:

"Meow...did I say something wrong? Well...I had a special experience in my early years, and I am still very sensitive to the mental fluctuations of the gods' favored ones..."

After hearing Nice's words, Charlotte gave it a meaningful look.

This guy has so many secrets. Even she, who controls the Blood Sacred Scripture, can't feel the so-called fluctuations of the God's Favorite, but it can sense it, and she doesn't know what his identity was before he turned into a cat.

Of course, Charlotte couldn't feel it, maybe she didn't use the divine power of blood.

Thinking of this, Charlotte quietly communicated with the Holy Book of Blood and loosened the power of the True Ancestor's liberation.

In an instant, her hair turned silver and her eyes were dyed red gold.

At the same time, she indeed noticed a strange smell gradually dissipating in the tent.

The smell was not unpleasant, it even made her feel familiar.

It was the scent of a strange vampire.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly thought of the old woman whose figure had disappeared.

She looked at the parchment left by the old woman and suddenly asked:

"Sebas, how much do you know about the Witch of Prediction?"

"Master, I have only been on the mainland for fifteen years. I have been living on Luna Island before, and I don't know much about the human civilization world..."

Sebastian said.

After speaking, he couldn't help but said:

"It's just that I heard that the Witch of Prediction is a human woman with powerful magic power, but I didn't expect that she was Ms. Anna. What I didn't expect was that Ms. Anna turned out to be a vampire..."

"Huh? The Witch of Prediction? Ask me about this! I know! I have dealt with her before! A powerful witch who awakened the Eye of Prediction. I think we worked together back then... But it was a long time ago That witch of premonition a long time ago, I guess the grass on her grave should be taller than my standing height now."

Nice said proudly.

The previous generation of premonition witches...

Charlotte frowned.

"Master, I don't know what secrets Ms. Anna has, but... I can be sure of one thing. We have known each other for more than ten years. She is also a non-believer like me in the past."

Sebastian thought for a while and said again.

"Hey, this should be true. The witches of prediction can see a lot of things, including the secrets of some gods. It is indeed a kind of embarrassment for them to believe in hypocritical gods."

Nice sneered.

After saying that, it seemed to realize that what it said was inappropriate. It looked at Charlotte with a guilty conscience and stuttered to make amends:

"Of course... I don't mean you! Uh... um, yes, I mean those hypocritical guys among the gods!"

Charlotte didn't pay attention to Nice's cat mouth.

She frowned slightly and felt that the old woman was full of tearing.

That is, she is a non-believer.

But...it is very likely that she is a god's favored one?

Strange, really strange!

She felt that the old woman who visited her was full of mysteries, but unfortunately... everything had been buried with her disappearance.

The only thing that was certain was that from the breath she sensed after using the power of blood, the other party was indeed related to the blood clan.

"Prophets" are all mysterious, either short-lived like mayflies, or long-lived like a thousand-year-old turtle.

For some reason, Charlotte had a feeling.

Perhaps in the near future, she might see Ms. Anna again...

As for now, whether the other party is alive or dead, at least Charlotte can feel that the other party has no ill intentions.

After thinking about it, she said to Sebastian:

"Sebastian, take good care of the girl from the Kirari clan."

Ms. Reina was entrusted to her by the other party.

No matter what purpose the other party came to approach her, perhaps... everything depends on this last descendant of the royal blood.

...

This is a gloomy and solemn castle hall.

On the black stone walls around the hall, there are exquisite and complex patterns and ancient reliefs, depicting the mythical legend of the stargazer Cosi following the Blood True Ancestor in the War of the Gods and finally being deified.

In the center of the hall, there is a black coffin standing alone, which is wrapped in black chains, exuding a vicissitudes and ancient atmosphere.

Around the coffin, four black demon statues with bat wings on their backs stand in four directions. They hold tridents and stand tall, like guards, and like guards.

Suddenly, the coffin trembled slightly, and the black chains on it seemed to have life and slowly retreated.

The next moment, the long cover of the coffin opened with a creaking sound, and gray-black mist overflowed from the coffin.

The mist quickly dissipated, and an old figure slowly sat up from the coffin.

It was an elderly woman.

If Charlotte were here, she would find that her appearance was strikingly similar to Anna who visited her, except that unlike Anna who was dressed simply, the old woman was wearing a gorgeous and mysterious black nightgown, which was incompatible with her old face.

But soon, the old woman's appearance began to change dramatically.

As if there was some kind of chemical reaction with the air outside, after sitting up from the coffin, the wrinkles on her skin gradually disappeared, her gray hair gradually turned brown and black, and her originally old face quickly regained its youth.

She was a beautiful and dignified vampire woman.

She slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes.

At the same time, the four demon statues guarding the surroundings shook together, and scarlet light flashed in their eye sockets.

With a creaking sound, they twisted their bodies as if they had not moved for dozens or hundreds of years, and saluted the woman in the coffin:

"Lady Eugenia..."

The vampire woman called Eugenia glanced at the demon statues around her indifferently and asked:

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Lady Eugenia, you have been asleep for seventy-three years this time."

The demon statue replied respectfully.

"Seventy-three years, almost five years lost..."

Eugenia frowned.

She rubbed her temples, sighed softly, and her expression was full of worry:

"The prophesied Holy Day is getting closer and closer..."

As she said that, she stood up from the coffin, snapped her fingers lightly, and the black nightgown on her body instantly turned into a dignified and mysterious dress.

She walked out of the coffin and walked out of the hall. However, just before she was about to leave the hall, she was quickly stopped by the demon statue:

"Lady Eugenia, the Duke has ordered that you cannot leave here until you are willing to make a new prophecy."

Looking at the demon statue that stopped her, Eugenia's face darkened.

"However, the Duke also said that if you can tell the clan the detailed experience and prophecy after this "reincarnation", although you cannot leave the castle, you can have the right to move freely in the castle."

The demon statue said again.

Eugenia narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

"Lady Eugenia, don't insist anymore. No matter what you try to bypass the seal, you will definitely lose most of your memories after "reincarnation" and will definitely be wanted by the clan..."

"No matter how many times you try, you will not succeed. After all... you will never have your own anchor."

"Lady Eugenia, betraying the clan... will only lead to destruction in the end."

The demon statue said solemnly.

Eugenia glanced at it:

"Is this the warning he asked you to pass on?"

The demon statue bowed slightly to show its agreement.

Eugenia sneered:

"Then please pass on a message for me. I will never compromise with betrayers."

"Traitors... will never have a good end. All betrayals... will eventually backfire on themselves!"

After saying that, she turned and left, re-entering her coffin.

In the castle, only her last distant sigh was left:

"Also...including me."

...

Ms. Anna's entrustment was just a small episode.

Charlotte kept the girl Reina. At first, she planned to give her to Sebastian to take care of her, but after thinking about it, she stayed by her side as one of her personal maids.

Without Ms. Anna's company, the originally speechless vampire girl became even more taciturn, which made Charlotte feel a little sympathetic.

No matter how old the other person is, in her opinion, the other person is almost like a child, which makes her think of her sister in her previous life.

After all, Reina is a vampire, and a descendant of the royal blood, so it might be better to keep her by her side.

In her spare time, Charlotte also carefully browsed the parchment scroll left by Ms. Anna.

It must be said that these materials are indeed useful to her. They introduce some information within the vampires in detail, especially the division of vampire forces active in the West Yunete region, which is mainly composed of the Crescent Kingdom, the Falling Star Kingdom and the Yunete Empire, and which vampires are more famous inside.

However, the information recorded is very strange. It is mainly based on the vampire clan Ness, which is distributed in the Falling Star Kingdom and the enclave Roman Principality on the continent, and the time span is extremely large and extremely fragmented.

Charlotte estimated that many of them should also be what Anna saw in some books.

The clearest records are in recent decades, but Anna's experience seems a bit unpleasant. In the description, she seems to have been hunted by the vampires of the Ness clan.

She didn't remember her past very clearly. She only remembered that she seemed to have betrayed her family and seemed to have been looking for something, but she didn't explain it clearly.

Charlotte was also a little confused, but she was not without gain. At least she learned a lot about the vampires in the Roman Principality.

The Roman Principality and the Earldom of Castel are close neighbors. In a sense, it is the closest vampire society to Charlotte.

As for the Crescent Kingdom... those blood demon madmen, let's not talk about them.

And just like this, while browsing the information left by Anna, while rushing on the road, Charlotte and her group finally walked out of the Violet Forest and came to the Castel Territory.
