Tome of Blood

"Myths must have divine names."

"Unless...they are not real demigods."

Looking at the divine fire in her hand, Charlotte had such an idea.

She looked down at the two trembling flames from a high position and suddenly said:

"You seem to be afraid of my power. How long have you been 'gods'?"

"You seem to be familiar with my power..."

"Tell me, I hope to hear a satisfactory answer from you."

Charlotte ordered.

"us……"

Two flames will answer.

However, at this moment, the two fragments of their godhead in the core of their divine fire suddenly bloomed with white brilliance.

An ancient, vast, evil and holy aura spread, and gray-white mist suddenly spread in the divine fire.

Painful wails came from the divine fire, and Charlotte's expression suddenly changed.

The divine power of blood bloomed, and the sacred book of blood vaguely sensed deep in the consciousness also opened.

However, before Charlotte could use the power of the Blood Scripture to resolve the gray-white mist that suddenly appeared, the two divine fires in her hands suddenly went out.

The wailing sound disappeared, and the auras of the two "demigods" also dissipated, replaced by the two remaining fragments of the godhead in Charlotte's palm.

Charlotte's face darkened slightly.

This is not the first time she has encountered this situation.

The last time she encountered a similar situation was when she was chasing two elf blood descendants on Luna Island.

Of course, the two elven blood descendants she was chasing were not "demigods", just "legends".

But their endings with these two "demigods" are the same.

That is... being "silenced" by some kind of existence.

Charlotte looked at the fragment of divinity in her hand and fell into deep thought:

"It's the same as the aura that came out at that time, and it's the same as the aura behind the sealed stone gate deep in my spiritual world. It is the power of 'original' and the power of 'origin'."

"They... I'm afraid, just like Alek and Kanpur, they were all silenced because they touched the 'taboo'."

"They don't have divine names, and their divine fire seems incomplete. Could it be that... like Alek and Kanpur, they are not real 'demigods', but are created similar to Because of the existence of 'demigods'?"

"If this is really the case, then everything makes sense. It is precisely because they are not real myths that they are so weak and do not have the name of gods. And if this is the case, could it be that the existence behind them, Is it the same being behind Luna Island?"

"They say they come from the Temple of the Sun. Could it be that... the existence behind them is related to the two main gods of the elves, the Sun God Helios?"

"It was mentioned in the brief history of the Old Continent that during the war between the elven gods and the old gods of Miria, in order to win the victory over the Eastern Continent, the Sun God Helios once sought the power of 'creation', but But it failed.”

"It is also because of this that the Western Continent, the home of the elves, suffered a horrific catastrophe, which eventually caused them to lose their home and had to migrate to Miria..."

"However, it seems that the ending of the sun god Helios has never been mentioned in various classics..."

"The two 'demigods' just claimed to be from the Temple of the Sun. They are suspected to be pseudo-'demigods' created by the power of the 'original'. They are closely related to the existence behind the Moon God Island in later generations..."

"Sun God... Helios."

Charlotte organized the thoughts in her mind and analyzed all the information she knew.

As a demigod, her mental power has long since transformed, and her soul has been upgraded to a divine soul in a sense. Although it has not yet reached the level of a true god, its running speed is no longer comparable to that of a mortal.

For this reason, combined with all the information obtained since time travel and all kinds of knowledge learned from various classics, Charlotte analyzed it carefully, and gradually... sketched out a vague outline in her mind. Ideas:

The sun god Helios failed in his quest for the power to create the world.

But obviously, that gray-white mist contains some so-called 'original' power.

A bold guess is that perhaps the sun god Helios did not completely fail, and he finally obtained part of the "original" authority.

And that... is probably the source of the gray-white fog.

The mysterious being who controls Luna Island and is suspected of polluting 'Sea King' may be the missing Sun God Helios.

Of course, this is just Charlotte's guess.

But even if it is a wrong guess, Charlotte feels that it should be very close to the truth.

"Even if he is not the sun god Helios, he is definitely closely related to him. Perhaps... this is also the reason why Lilith went to the Old World to explore in Rowena's diary."

Charlotte said to herself.

The unexpected information gained this time lifted some of the mystery of the gray-white mist.

However, Charlotte still felt uneasy.

She vaguely felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't put it into words for a while. It was more like a premonition or a spiritual perception of hers.

As a demigod, Charlotte still believed in her spiritual sense. She would not have this feeling for no reason, and this feeling...even made her feel a little urgent.

"Perhaps... I should further investigate the secrets of those 'demigods' just now. Since they participated in the war in Northern Xinjiang, they will definitely leave clues, and there may be more 'demigods' similar to them. "

Charlotte said to herself.

Thinking of this, the divine power in Charlotte's hand spread and swallowed up the two fragments of the godhead.

Two "demigods" were silenced.

However, the fragments of godhead they left behind are real.

Charlotte estimated that they might be "demigods" created by using fragments of the godhead and the power of "Creation". Although they are not real "demigods", divine power cannot be faked, and after the "divine fire" is extinguished , their divine power still remains in the fragments of their godhead.

Charlotte felt it. Although the capacity of the divine power was not as good as that of a real demigod, it was similar to the reserve of divine power she had when she became a god with the help of a plug-in. If she completely devoured it, it would not only make up for the consumption of these days, but also leave a lot of surplus. .

These "demigods" are also weak, and it takes no effort to fight. If a few more similar "demigods" are eliminated, even if they add up to a small amount, the accumulated divine power will be considerable.

Not only that, they even have fragments of godhead that even demigods don't have. This is a good thing. It can help Charlotte perfect the power of the law and can also be used to forge mythical-level artifacts.

Thinking this way, Charlotte suddenly looked forward to the next war against the old gods.

"Speaking of which, Rowena must have woken up as well. Well...that must be Rowena, right? It looks very similar to the statues and afterimages of later generations."

"When I rescued her, I also felt the breath of the power of 'Creation'. Unfortunately, the priest of the old god died directly."

"However, that kind of breath once stayed on Rowena's body. Although it did not pollute her soul, it seemed to pull her into some kind of illusion."

"I was in a hurry to chase down the demigods before, but I didn't have time to investigate carefully. After I go back this time... maybe I can talk to her."

"There is also Harald. He has been staying at the border. He may also know something about these 'demigods'. I should also ask him."

"Let's go back to the fortress first, take a rest, and wait for the Free City Alliance army. When they are ready... we can directly fight against the old gods."

Charlotte said to herself.

Thinking of this, she put away her magical power and instantly turned into a black mist, which then dissipated in the forest.

…

In the northern part of Northern Xinjiang, the northern fortress of the Free Cities Alliance.

With the support of the second-awakened third-generation vampires, the army of the old gods that invaded the alliance has been defeated. The soldiers of the alliance are busy repairing the city walls that were destroyed by the priests of the old gods during the war.

Suddenly, black afterimages appeared in the fortress. Those afterimages continued to rotate and gather, and finally turned into a graceful figure.

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared in the fortress, the alliance soldiers suddenly became excited, put down their work one after another, and saluted respectfully:

"Lady Lilith!"

"Lord Savior!"

"Long live the Lord of the Familia! Long live the Lord of Blood!"

Charlotte, who had dispersed the power of darkness, nodded slightly to everyone in response.

"Lord Lilith! You are back! How are you? Have you caught up with those old gods?"

Upon learning of Charlotte's return, the leader of the fortress garrison and the commander of the Alliance's Second Legion hurried over and asked excitedly.

Charlotte nodded and said:

"already solved."

Seeing her calm and graceful appearance, the soldiers looked at her with more admiration and awe, and they suddenly burst into excited cheers:

"Long live Lady Lilith!"

"I just know that if Lady Lilith takes action, even the old gods will die!"

"The city-state alliance is invincible! The great Lady Lilith is invincible!"

Charlotte stretched out her hand to suppress the cheers of the soldiers, then looked around and asked:

"Where's Harald?"

"Lord Harald led his troops to pursue the enemy's defeated troops, and he has not returned yet."

The legion commander replied respectfully.

Haven't you come back yet...

Charlotte felt a little sorry.

"Where is the girl I rescued?"

she asked again.

"Are you talking about Rowena? She has woken up, but her body is still a little weak and her injuries have not fully healed. Kesi is treating her injuries."

The legion commander replied.

"Take me to meet her."

Charlotte said.

…

Charlotte soon met Rowena, whom she had rescued.

Just as the legion commander said, Rowena was receiving treatment from Kesi in the lounge.

Unlike other forces that believe in gods, the Free City-State Alliance does not have divine magic that can heal injuries, so healing the wounded relies entirely on elven inscriptions.

The so-called Elf inscription is actually a kind of micro-text that can be carried around and needs specific stimulation to be engraved on the inscription base. This type of text is the ancient Elf language and has strange power. It can affect magic and even trigger magic.

Those who can control this kind of inscription are called elf inscription masters.

Kesi is an elf inscriptionist, and as far as Charlotte knows, the profession of elf inscriptionist is also the origin of alchemists in later generations. Even elf inscriptions are the ancestors of various magic circles in later generations.

The Ness clan is very good at alchemy and drawing magic circles, and Charlotte seriously doubts that these are all inherited by Kesi.

"Lady Lilith."

Seeing Charlotte, Kexi quickly saluted respectfully.

Charlotte nodded slightly and said:

"Please step aside first, I want to talk to Rowena."

After hearing the order, Kesi retreated respectfully, and looking at Charlotte who appeared in front of her, Rowena looked excited:

"Li...Ms. Lilith!"

She stood up quickly and saluted, her red eyes seemed to have countless stars twinkling, and her voice was full of surprise, anxiety and excitement.

That excited and panic look was very similar to those fans who met celebrities in previous lives.

Charlotte waved her hand to stop her from saluting, and looked at the girl's body.

Different from the afterimage of Rowena's consciousness seen in later generations, although the appearance is the same, Rowena at this moment is far from the "detachment" and "vicissitudes" of later generations. Her excited appearance is different from her childish look. The girls are very similar.

The moment she saw the other person, Charlotte felt the Blood Scripture deep in her consciousness tremble slightly and emit a little radiance.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

She separated her consciousness and sensed it, and then she was surprised to find that at some point, the "travel" passage of the Blood Sacred Scripture was opened.

She had a vague feeling that as long as she wanted to, she could use the Blood Sacred Scripture to enter the "Time Passage" again and return to her own era at any time.

Charlotte didn't know if this had something to do with Rowena, but as soon as she got close to the other person, something like this happened, and it was hard not to let her think about it.

However, she also remembered that when she had just rescued Rowena, there was no such rhythm in the Blood Scripture, so it was possible that this was just a coincidence.

After thinking for a while, Charlotte asked:

"How does your body feel?"

"Okay...much better! Thank you very much for your concern!"

Rowena said excitedly, so excitedly... that she even stuttered a little.

Her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes looking at Charlotte were full of reverence and yearning, and her expression was filled with infinite gratitude:

"You... saved me again and gave me the power of blood. I really don't know how to thank you!"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment and then said happily:

"Oh? So...have I saved you before?"

Rowena was the first myth Charlotte saw in later generations.

To be honest, she was still very curious about the story of Rowena and Lilith.

"Yes, fifteen years ago, you also saved me once in Silver City! At that time... I was almost given the power of the Familia by you!"

The girl said excitedly.

Fifteen years ago?

Charlotte was stunned.

Then, she quickly remembered that it was the battle when she first embraced Lilith when she traveled through time for the second time.

Charlotte's expression suddenly became strange.

Is it really her who saved Rowena before?

Charlotte suddenly felt as if she was destined to be the Scarlet Queen of later generations, and her eyes looked at her more gently.

"Stretch out your hand and let me see how the blood power is in your body."

Charlotte said.

Rowena obediently held out her hand.

Charlotte was using her divine power, preparing to help the other party sort out the power of blood given when she rescued the other party.

It can be regarded as some kind of partiality, after all... Rowena is the Blood Prince with the best impression in her later generations.

Using her divine power, Charlotte explored Rowena's body. However, the moment her power entered the other person's body, she sensed a familiar aura in the other person's body.

That was... the 'original' breath.
