Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 110: -98- Deep into the Dark……

Chapter 110: -98- Deep into the Dark......

That was a little girl with beautiful brown hair.

She was wearing a pure white dress, innocent and cute, which starkly contrasted with the debauched, corrupt atmosphere of the Drunk Dream Saloon.

For some reason, when Charlotte saw her, an inexplicable sense of closeness suddenly emerged in her heart.

"Who are you?"

Charlotte asked in a deep voice.

"Master, whom are you talking to?"

Beside Charlotte, came the curious voice of Sebastian.

Hm?

Charlotte glanced at the Flame Elf beside her and frowned slightly.

"You didn’t see her?"

"Her? Who?"

Sebastian appeared somewhat puzzled.

"A little girl in a dress."

Charlotte said.

However, no sooner had she spoken than she was startled once more.

Where the little girl had appeared, there was now no one.

Another illusion?

Charlotte’s frown deepened.

At that moment, bustling noise came from the outer hall, where many nobles in masks, who had been indulging in entertainment, were now dressing and heading towards the outer hall.

"Master, the auction event of the Drunk Dream Saloon is about to start, and an organizer will appear to explain. This is our best chance to launch an attack and expose the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Sebastian reminded her in a low voice.

Drunk Dream Saloon was just more concealed; its highest defense would not surpass the Silver Moon Second Tier, and even with a large guarding force, having witnessed Charlotte’s previous prowess, Sebastian had immense confidence in the young girl.

Nevertheless, Charlotte glanced in the direction where the girl had disappeared and hesitated.

Having seen the illusions just now, Charlotte had ascertained that the Blood Demon Church was indeed involved with the Drunk Dream Saloon.

No other, the hooded men who killed those girls were dressed just like the step-grandmother who had sacrificed her in the Castel Manor.

Even the Fallen Crosses in their hands were identical to the one held by the Countess Castel!

They were, without a doubt, members of the Blood Demon Church!

Clearly, Drunk Dream Saloon was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Gathering for lechery, trafficking in people... these various evil deeds were not just the people behind the scenes luring fallen nobles, but it seemed more like using Drunk Dream Saloon to conduct some kind of evil ritual.

The brutalities inflicted by the masked nobles on the girls were just the beginning.

Those illusions she had seen, where girls, after being violated, were chased, bled by the Blood Demon cultists amidst their despair and fear... were likely the real purpose of the ritual.

Offerings...

Every girl in the Drunk Dream Saloon was an offering for a mysterious, evil ritual!

They were first awakened to immense fear and despair through violation, and then, amidst pain and fear, they were killed as offerings...

And considering how many girls Drunk Dream Saloon had harmed over the years, Charlotte felt a chill down her spine...

Corruption breeds darkness, and despair gives birth to resentment.

When she had entered the Drunk Dream Saloon, what she saw was an overwhelming malevolent aura, and the force represented by such a massive aggregation of malignant energy was truly terrifying.

"Master, the auction is about to start, and if we continue to stay here... we will stand out."

Sebastian reminded her kindly.

Charlotte nodded slightly and turned to leave, but just as she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the white dress flitting by.

Charlotte’s steps instantly halted.

She turned back, looking in the direction where the girl had vanished.

It was at the end of the hall.

There, stood a firmly closed iron door.

Charlotte’s gaze hardened.

"What is that place?"

She asked.

"That place? I don’t know... I haven’t stayed in the Drunk Dream Saloon too long; the last time I saw this hall, I couldn’t help but take action."

Beside Charlotte, Sebastian touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

Charlotte neither agreed nor disagreed.

In truth, hearing the screams of the girls in the hall, she also wanted to immediately shut down this filthy den.

But she knew, without uncovering the true secrets behind Drunk Dream Saloon, without excavating the Blood Demon Church’s conspiracy... eliminating one Drunk Dream Saloon would just lead to the creation of another.

Charlotte’s gaze settled on the iron door.

Deep down, she had a feeling that the mysterious little girl who had appeared was telling her to go that way.

"We won’t go to the auction hall, let’s go check over there instead."

Charlotte shook her head and looked towards the iron door at the end of the hall.

Having said that, she took the lead and approached the iron door.

Sebastian did not hesitate and immediately followed.

The two quickly reached the iron door.

However, they were soon stopped by two attendants wearing masks:

"Honored guests, this area is not open to the public."

They radiated a powerful Transcendent Aura, they were in fact two Starry First Tier Transcendents!

Charlotte glanced at Sebastian, who immediately understood.

The Flame Elf cracked a slight smile, somewhat apologetically saying,

"Is that so? Sorry... I was a bit urgent and thought this was the entrance to the restroom."

"You’ve gone the wrong way, the restroom is in front of the hall."

The servant respectfully said.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Sebastian smiled faintly, then elegantly turned and left.

The two servants immediately relaxed.

But the next second, Sebastian suddenly whipped his head around, his hands clawing forward, grabbing their throats.

His speed was incredibly fast, the power of a Second Tier Peak Silver Moon was simply out of reach for two Starry Transcendents, and completely caught off guard, the two servants had no time to react. Even Charlotte couldn’t clearly see his movements.

A mere snap was heard, and just like that, Sebastian had effortlessly broken their necks, their bodies slowly slumping down, without even the chance to make a sound.

Damn!

Charlotte was instantly taken aback by Sebastian’s combat capability.

She hadn’t truly sensed it when watching his fight with the Great Knight, only thinking that his destructive power was awesome, but standing beside him, she realized... he was genuinely powerful!

Slaughtering two Starry First Tier as if slaughtering chicks.

This served as a warning for Charlotte, that if she were to face a Silver Moon alone... she should not be overconfident at critical moments, nor should she be stingy with her Divine Power. If needed, she should activate True Ancestor Liberation.

The difference in Rank... was terrifying.

Sebastian moved quickly.

After killing the two Transcendents, he kicked open the iron door, dragged the two unlucky souls inside, and did not forget to respectfully say to Charlotte:

"Master, the door is open."

Charlotte took a deep breath, and followed him through the iron door. Just as she entered, she first saw him skillfully strip one of the servants of their clothes to put on, and then quickly summoned black flames, incinerating the two bodies into ash.

His movements were smooth and practiced, clearly not his first time.

Seeing Charlotte’s somewhat strange gaze, Sebastian smiled and said:

"Be a little careful, leave no traces, it can at least delay their discovery. Besides... disguising one’s identity makes things easier."

Charlotte: ...

She felt her actions tonight were already quite brash.

However, Sebastian was obviously even more reckless!

But it didn’t matter anymore.

Tonight, she came to make a scene at Drunk Dream Saloon.

Only...

"Why is there only one set of clothes left?"

Looking at the servant’s uniform Sebastian had changed into, Charlotte asked.

"That, you... you’re not very tall, it wouldn’t fit."

Sebastian chose his words carefully.

Charlotte: ...

If he thought she was short, he should have just said so. What’s with the evasiveness?

She wouldn’t get angry, really!

"Besides... you’re fine as you are, as long as you follow me, no one will suspect your identity. Of course... it would be better if you could disguise yourself a bit."

Sebastian added respectfully.

"A disguise?"

Something clicked in Charlotte’s mind.

"Let’s forget it, it would be too offensive to you."

Sebastian hesitated a bit, then shook his head.

Charlotte: ...

She hated individuals who only talked halfway.

The iron door closed behind them, and their conversation also ended.

Charlotte put aside her thoughts, turned around, and surveyed her surroundings.

This was a long staircase leading downwards, with dim surroundings lit only by the dim light of candles on the walls.

And as Charlotte looked deeper down the staircase, she caught a glimpse of a white dress flashing by.

With a thought, she said,

"Let’s keep going."

The two descended the staircase, quickly reaching the bottom.

What met their eyes was a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor were chambers resembling cells, with figures in black robes patrolling back and forth.

Blood Demon Cultists!

Charlotte’s gaze sharpened instantly.

But soon, her attention was drawn to the cells on either side.

Under the dim candlelight, Charlotte saw many cells holding young girls.

Her eyes quickly narrowed.

Because in one of the cells, she saw familiar figures... several young girls dressed in Castel Manor’s maid attire!

They were her people.

And when she took advantage of the dim light to observe the shackles on the young girls’ necks, she suddenly realized what Sebastian had meant by a disguise...
