Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 455: -193- Submission_2

Chapter 455: -193- Submission_2

Thinking of this, Charlotte slightly bowed, and Sebastian naturally took out a chair and respectfully placed it behind her.

Charlotte naturally sat down and casually accepted the finely adjusted milk tea offered by Sebastian with both hands, took a sip, and said,

"Who I am is not important, what’s important... is who you are."

After speaking, she gently stretched out her hand, and Sebastian respectfully presented a roll of parchment.

Charlotte gently unrolled the parchment and then said,

"Odosia... no, or to be more precise, the Black Dragon Odosia."

"Thirty years ago, the Kemea Mercenary City in the Black Land of Eastern Yonette was attacked by an unidentified Black Dragon. It is said... the Black Dragon appeared out of nowhere, and upon its arrival, it launched a frenzied attack on the city-state..."

"Although in the end, the Mercenary Alliance of the Black Land of Eastern Yonette organized an army that repelled the Black Dragon’s attack, the Kemea city-state had already been reduced to ruins under the Black Dragon’s onslaught, with casualties numbering in the tens of thousands..."

"And afterward, that Black Dragon disappeared, and the place where it vanished was right at the border of the New Moon Eastern Yonette Black Land, or to be more accurate, the border of Castel."

Upon reaching this point, Charlotte paused briefly and put down the parchment.

She looked at Odosia and continued,

"And after that, rumors of a giant dragon appeared in the mines of Castel..."

After hearing Charlotte’s words, Odosia fell silent.

After a moment, she finally said,

"What... are you trying to say?"

"Actually, it’s not much; I too am quite curious about the past of this Black Dragon. My investigations have shown that indeed, it seems as if the Black Dragon materialized out of thin air. Miss Odosia, don’t you find that curious?"

Charlotte asked.

Odosia fell silent again.

After a moment, she finally spoke,

"I can’t remember my past."

"I am of course aware that you don’t remember,"

Charlotte said.

As she spoke, she looked at the other, her eyes as pure as sapphires, seemingly possessing a magical power,

"First, I must correct a misconception of yours. The idea that you want to resurrect a soul that has dissipated is impossible to achieve, even for a deity."

"When a soul dissipates, it signifies the complete disappearance of that existence. This process is irreversible. Those revenants who remain or who have had their souls taken to the Divine Country may still be awakenable, but a soul that has already dissipated cannot be reclaimed... unless time flows backward, history reverses."

After hearing Charlotte’s words, Odosia’s hands clenched subconsciously, but in the end... they dropped helplessly.

Seeing the silent girl, Charlotte knew the other party had taken her words to heart.

She paused for a moment and continued,

"Odosia, I have seen your memories; I know what you’ve been through, I also know why you chose to help the Blood Demon Church, to abet evil..."

"Of course, using the term ’abet evil’ might not be quite appropriate because in the memories I saw, although you joined the Blood Demon Church, you actually deliberately avoided harming ordinary people in every action."

"Not only that, even when you turned a blind eye to the Blood Demon Church using the Legris Family as offerings, it was because the Legris Family had participated in kidnapping and turning the Castel miners into undead, which touched your raw nerve."

"Miss Odosia, although you’ve claimed countless times in your memories that you are a vicious and tyrannical Black Dragon, from the memories I saw, you seemed more like a giant dragon that has long been accustomed to coexisting peacefully with humans or, more broadly speaking, with other intelligent beings."

"This is completely different from your actions when you first appeared in Eastern Yonette, and though it can be explained by memory loss or by the change in your attitude towards other intelligent life forms due to your experiences in the mines, to me, it still seems far-fetched."

"There are secrets within you, big secrets, and this you have realized yourself, otherwise... you wouldn’t have turned to the Blood Demon Church to search for your past."

"I must admit, as one of the oldest churches, the Blood Demon Church has always been highly accomplished in Spirit Magic, second only to the Bloodline Clan Spirit Clan Salem; they can help many who’ve lost their memories regain them."

"But let me be frank; you are different."

"Regarding your memories in the Black Land of Eastern Yonette, based on my investigation, they have indeed been ’forgotten’ like those of any other amnesiac, which might be related to a past injury of yours, but the memories from before that... they are different."

"I haven’t seen your earlier memories, and while those memories shouldn’t be non-existent, they... indeed do not exist."

"It’s not that you were sealed away or simply eliminated," Charlotte said, "it’s as if you had never experienced your past to begin with. Yet, numerous signs suggest that you undoubtedly possess one."

"Your constitution is also very interesting. As far as I know, there isn’t a giant dragon that transforms into a human form after losing all its magic power. Yet, you did transform, as if your human form is your true final form."

"However, I’m quite certain that the blood of a giant dragon flows through you. Genetically speaking, you are without a doubt a true giant dragon."

"I believe I’m not mistaken; after all... when it comes to transcendental bloodlines, I should be considered an authority."

"Miss Odosia, I must admit, you are full of mysteries. I am very curious about you, curious about your identity, and curious about your past..."

Hearing Charlotte’s words, Odosia couldn’t help but lift her head:

"What... exactly are you trying to say? What do you want to do?"

Charlotte smiled and then suddenly adopted a serious expression, saying:

"Submission..."

"I want your submission."

"I’m very interested in your past, in you, and in your power."

"That’s why... I ordered them to bring you here."

"I can promise that by following me, you are more likely to regain your past than by following the Blood Demon Church, even more so than by following the Legris Family from Salem."

Odosia fell silent for a moment, then asked:

"This isn’t a recruitment, it’s a final ultimatum, isn’t it?"

Charlotte appeared slightly surprised, then laughed:

"If possible, I would like it to be a friendly recruitment, and at least... my intentions are sincere."

Odosia fell silent.

After a moment, she lifted her head, her crimson pupils conveying an indescribable emotion:

"I... understand."

Saying this, under Charlotte’s somewhat surprised gaze, Odosia slightly bowed, performing the Obedience Ceremony somewhat stiffly:

"Then... from this moment on, you are the one whom Odosia will follow."

Charlotte was even more surprised.

She laughed and said:

"Miss Odosia, you are more decisive than I expected. Honestly, this makes many of the words I had prepared unnecessary."

"I’m quite curious, can you tell me why you were so quick to agree?"

Odosia glanced at her, her expression enigmatic:

"Three reasons..."

"First, you are strong, incredibly strong. I know my own skills, and I know my own power. I have no way to defy the will of a resurrected deity..."

"Second, the feeling you give me is very familiar. I suspect that my past self might have had contact with you. You are right; after careful consideration, following you is more likely to help me retrieve my past."

"Third, you saved me. If it weren’t for your intervention, I would now be nothing but a dragon corpse, a mere walking Undead..."

Hearing Odosia’s words, Charlotte was momentarily startled, then she laughed:

"See, Miss Odosia, you are indeed not an ordinary Black Dragon."

...

Odosia had submitted, submitting at a speed that even surprised Charlotte.

Although with the fusion of the Ancient Divine Statue, Charlotte already possessed considerable Divine Power and was confident that she could suppress an adult Black Dragon without entering into a contract, in the end, she still signed a contract with the other party.

Not the kind of servile slave contract like Nisi’s, but the Obedience Ceremony contract of the giant dragons.

And naturally, Charlotte’s maid troupe gained another member.
