Chapter 117: -105- They are the abandoned ones
"Blood Demon Duke Yabaton? They want to summon the Evil God into this world?!"
Sebastian widened his eyes.
Then, he furrowed his brow,
"Has the Great Priest gone mad? How could he cooperate with such lunatics?"
"No, perhaps he is also unaware of the true intentions of the Blood Demon Church. He only knows that Tulip Count has dealings with the Blood Demon Church, he is merely a shield for Drunk Dream Saloon."
Charlotte shook her head slightly.
In the last memories she viewed, although the figure of the Great Priest frequently appeared, he only disguised his identity to participate in the Drunk Dream Saloon.
The Great Priest only communicated with Tulip Count Anthony.
In the fragments of memory, this highest clergy of Bold had been influenced by Anthony and gradually turned into a collaborator.
Tulip Count must have held quite a few of his hands.
As for what the Blood Demon Church was really up to, the Great Priest was probably kept in the dark.
Otherwise... the arrival of an Evil God would be enough to trouble the entire Bold Duchy, even the whole New Moon Kingdom.
Still want to be the Chief Priest?
Probably, the Holy Royal Court would purify him first as that aberrant traitor.
"Master, we must stop them! We must prevent the incarnation of the Blood Demon Duke from descending!"
"If the Blood Demon Duke finds out about your resurgence, it might add difficulties to your return!"
Sebastian spoke solemnly.
Seeing such a vehement reaction from the Flame Elf, Charlotte was somewhat surprised.
Although she also felt the arrival of the Blood Demon Duke should be stopped, she had not expected Sebastian to be even more eager than her.
Noticing the unexpected expression on the young girl’s face, Sebastian hesitated for a moment and then cautiously asked,
"Master, your past memories... they haven’t returned yet, have they?"
Charlotte: ...
What the hell are past memories?!
She instinctively wanted to complain, but soon a thought flashed through her mind, and she realized what Sebastian meant.
She knew that Sebastian regarded her as a resurrected Bloodline True Ancestor.
Nisi had once mentioned that many returning deities, during their resurgence stage, typically had their memories sealed.
Resurrected deities often didn’t know who they were for quite a long time until their powers gradually restored, and they slowly regained their memories.
Clearly, Sebastian’s words meant that he also considered her such an entity.
Although Charlotte, possessing memories from a previous life, felt she was not so much a returning True Ancestor but merely a lucky transmigrator who inadvertently became the master of the Blood Holy Scripture.
But by this point, she couldn’t explain anymore.
She couldn’t really reveal her true background, telling him that she was a transmigrator who gained a semblance of divine authority by acquiring the Supreme Divine Artifact of the Bloodline, could she?
Clearly, under the assumption that she was a resurrected deity, any behaviour of hers could be viewed as memories not yet restored...
Since it was not clear to explain, Charlotte was too lazy to explain.
Instead, this bout of confusion might allow her to rationalize many of her actions more plausibly.
Thinking for a moment, she silently apologized in her heart to the possibly still sleeping in some corner Bloodline True Ancestor, or maybe one who had long perished, and then said:
"I indeed have not inherited other memories, what are you trying to imply?"
Sebastian showed an expression as if he expected this, and then he spoke gravely:
"Master, you may not be aware, but during your long absence, there has always been infighting within the Bloodline, with each Prince harboring their own schemes... This is a well-known fact among the transcendent circles of Mireya."
"Various signs indicate that even your disappearance... might have something to do with the Princes of the Bloodline."
"I have never heard of any Bloodline Prince wanting to awaken their great Ancestor; over the long years, the Princes have probably gotten used to your absence."
"Forgive my presumption, but they... might not be your progeny anymore, but rather your enemies."
"Master, the power of a True God exceeds the mortal imagination, every action has significance."
"As you have resurrected but chose not to seek support from the Blood Demon Church, instead opting to confront them, I believe... other than your identity’s entanglement with the Blood Demon Church, it is very likely that subconsciously, you consider them your enemies."
Charlotte: ...
While she felt that what Sebastian said was far-fetched from the truth, darn it, it really could explain why she, clearly being the "Bloodline True Ancestor," did not immediately return to Bloodline society to enact the grand play of the True God’s homecoming upon her resurgence...
That worked out just fine.
It saved her a lot of trouble.
"Master, please issue your command, as your Favored, Sebastian will do everything in his power to thwart the conspiracy of the Blood Demon Church and follow you to ascend the Divine Throne once again!"
Sebastian spoke respectfully.
Seeing his expression first stern, but quickly turning eager, Charlotte felt quite odd.
Why did it feel... that this guy was very interested in preventing the descent of a "Mythical" being?
Charlotte was indeed right.
Sebastian was definitely interested.
No, it was no longer just interest, it was excitement.
Sebastian bowed respectfully, his heart filled with anticipation.
Mythical!
This was a "Mythical" being that wished to descend upon the world!
If he could prevent the descent of a "Mythical" being, even if it meant following the great Lady of the Dark Night, it would still be an extraordinary experience!
Furthermore, as the ruler of Bold’s underworld, he believed he had a duty to prevent the insane ideas of the Blood Demon Church.
"My Lord, shall we now destroy the ceremonial setup here and prevent the plans of the Blood Demon Church?"
Sebastian asked expectantly.
Hearing his words, Charlotte recalled the various scenes she had seen in fragments of memories, her gaze landing on the coffin on the altar.
After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head and said,
"This place is not the actual venue for the divine descent ceremony; this is merely a place for offering sacrifices, accumulating dark energy and the power of despair."
"This ceremonial site is just a front; the real location is probably somewhere else."
"And... they are probably almost ready."
As she finished speaking, she turned to the Blood Servant who had come with her, her pupils flashing with a golden brilliance:
"Tell me, where is the real location of your ceremony?"
This time, she did not hold back and increased the output of her Blood Divine Power.
At this moment, knowing the secret of the Blood Demon Church, it didn’t matter anymore whether or not it would alarm the High Priest.
No... rather, if it really alarmed the other party and could possibly draw them here, that would be a good thing.
Compared to a potential divine descent, a Third Tier Blazing Sun was easier to deal with, as long as Charlotte wasn’t reluctant about the True Ancestor Liberation.
However, this time, the Blood Servants did not tremble but merely shook their heads blankly:
"My Lord, I... do not know."
Charlotte’s expression turned stern instantly.
They hadn’t resisted.
Because they probably genuinely didn’t know.
After thinking for a moment, Charlotte indeed acted, deftly pulling a hand crossbow from beneath her skirt and aiming at one of the Blood Servants, blasting its head off with one shot.
"My Lord?"
Sebastian was startled.
"Just wait and see."
Charlotte said.
Inside the underground corridor, it was silent.
Time passed, second by second.
There was no alarm, no reinforcements, and Charlotte’s control over the remaining Blood Servants was unaffected.
The death of that Blood Servant was like a stone thrown into the ocean, not even causing a ripple.
Charlotte instantly realized.
These Blood Servants... were just insignificant pawns.
Sebastian also quickly understood what Charlotte was doing.
Looking at the vacant-eyed Blood Servants around, his expression grew solemn as he shook his head:
"My Lord, they are probably already abandoned. We cannot find out the real location of the ceremony from these Blood Servants."
Charlotte nodded slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, she said,
"Then, we only have one more person to question..."
"Perhaps he can provide some clues."
Saying this, she narrowed her eyes, looking upwards:
"If they are still following the usual procedures, judging by the time... he should be coming down soon."
