Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 99: -87- Bloodline of Royal Authority

Chapter 99: -87- Bloodline of Royal Authority

Charlotte pondered for a moment, then communicated with Nisi in her mind.

Soon, the black cat pushed open the door of the auxiliary room and walked in.

It wasn’t sure if it was because the meals at the Castel household were too good, but the cat had been getting fatter lately and seemed to be trending toward becoming spherical.

"Meow, the great Miss Charlotte, you were looking for me?"

Charlotte glanced at it and spoke indifferently,

"How much strength does a bloodkin who’s just entered the Starry Rank usually have?"

"Meow! That depends on what race they were before becoming a bloodkin," Nisi answered without thinking. "It varies with different races. For humans, it should be about the same as that of a Transcendent Knight."

After answering, it noticed the numbers on the magic sandbag, and its cat eyes widened,

"Tsks... Eight thousand eight hundred pounds! Your strength has recovered quite quickly."

"Aren’t you surprised?"

Charlotte’s heart stirred.

"Surprised? Whether you punch the sandbag to smithereens or yell until you knock a Blazing Sun Strong unconscious, Nisi wouldn’t be surprised."

"You’re neither a mortal nor an ordinary bloodkin. It’s normal for strange things to happen to you."

Nisi licked its paw.

Charlotte: ...

Somehow, that sounded reasonable.

With the Blood Holy Scripture in her possession, she really shouldn’t be viewed by ordinary standards, as the Divine Artifact often granted her extraordinary strength.

But... Charlotte was certain that her current strength had not involved the power of the Blood Holy Scripture.

The strength she now possessed was entirely her own.

"How much strength does a Transcendent Knight of the Second Tier of the Silver Moon usually have?"

Charlotte pondered before asking.

"If they’ve just advanced to that level, the sheer physical strength would be at least twenty thousand pounds, possibly even close to thirty thousand," Nisi went on. "And it’s even more terrifying when their Source Power bursts forth. However, the physique of the Silver Moon has undergone a transformation, so strength is no longer the sole standard for measuring power."

"A Starry First Tier taken to the extreme can also approach twenty thousand pounds with a burst of Source Power, but they’re completely no match for those of the Silver Moon because the latter have stronger endurance, greater recovery, and more powerful Source Power bursts."

Nisi explained.

Twenty to thirty thousand pounds... that meant their sheer physical strength was already more than ten tons, not to mention the several-fold increase when Source Power was included.

That meant her own strength had not reached that of the Silver Moon, but within the Starry Rank, it was on the stronger side.

However, it was currently daytime, and the strength of a bloodkin would double at night.

At that time... her strength would be even greater.

Charlotte thought reflectively.

Then, she looked at the other pieces of testing equipment in the auxiliary room.

Two brightly shining crystal balls and two semi-transparent stone tablets.

This was alchemical equipment for testing magic power or Source Power intensity and magic or Source Power affinity.

Strength was a weakness of bloodkin, but now that even Charlotte’s strength was so outrageous, she was curious about how much magic power she had.

"How much magic power does a mage who’s just entered the Starry Rank typically have? And what about magic affinity?"

Charlotte inquired.

"About three thousand mays, I guess," said Nisi. "As for magic affinity, it’s generally around 60%, but some who are naturally high in affinity can reach 90%."

A may was a unit of measurement for magic power.

A single may was about equivalent to the magic power consumption required to maintain the simplest apprentice-level magic illumination for one minute.

In terms of First Tier magic, a Starry Mage would have enough power to cast around three to forty spells at one go, and those with high affinity could cast nearly fifty.

Magic affinity was akin to a mage’s efficiency in using magic power and their meditation efficacy. The higher the affinity, the higher the utilization and meditation efficiency, with the maximum being 100%—meaning no waste of magic power when it’s converted to magic, and all absorbed magic power during meditation is stored perfectly.

"And what about the Silver Moon?"

Charlotte asked again.

"Heh, although mages have weaker physiques, their spiritual power is formidable, and once they reach the Silver Moon Rank, both the spiritual power and Magic Pool undergo a transformation."

"Silver Moon Mages generally have over thirty thousand mays, but when they cast spells, they no longer rely solely on their internal magic power. Instead, they can resonate with the magical power in the air, greatly reducing their consumption."

"From the Silver Moon Rank on... as long as they don’t get close, a regular Transcendent Knight is no match for a mage. Of course, this excludes the exceptionally talented knights like Kara; they are monsters."

"Moreover, the magic affinity of the Silver Moon Mages is above 90%."

Nisi replied.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

With Nisi’s explanations, she finally had a clear understanding of the power levels of both the Starry First Tier and the Silver Moon Second Tier Transcendents.

After some thought, Charlotte placed her hand on one of the crystal balls and infused her magic power into it.

As she did so, the crystal ball immediately lit up brilliantly, flashing a crimson glow. Gradually, a blurry number appeared at the base—thirteen thousand mays.

Thirteen thousand mays?

That was more than four times that of a mage who had just entered the Starry Rank?

A leap in Charlotte’s heart.

By now, she had finally determined that it wasn’t that her strength was too great, but rather, as a newcomer to the Starry Rank, she surpassed the average in every aspect!

Charlotte took a deep breath and began testing her magic affinity.

With her touch, the semi-transparent stone tablet immediately took on a profound black hue, and below it on the magic crystal, the affinity gauge needle instantly soared to the max.

Magic Affinity, 100%.

And it was Dark Magic Affinity 100%.

Charlotte wasn’t surprised by this, as the magic affinity of magic creatures is almost always extremely high, and the Bloodline were essentially creatures of darkness.

After testing her strength and magic power, Charlotte gave it some thought and then looked towards the Black Cat:

"Do you have a knife?"

The Black Cat’s eyelids twitched, and it immediately became vigilant, protecting its two cat jewels:

"What... what do you want to do?"

Charlotte: ...

"I’m not going to neuter you, just hand it over."

She said with disdain.

"Erm..."

After pondering, the Black Cat cautiously produced a nail clipper from the void.

Charlotte: ...

"Are you kidding me?"

She frowned.

Seeing the girl’s increasingly impatient look, Nisi sighed and withdrew a small dagger to hand it over.

Charlotte took it with satisfaction, then cut a gash in her own arm.

The fiery pain flared up, and blood flowed instantly.

But quickly, Charlotte noticed, beneath the wound the torn muscles began to sprout new flesh.

In a short while, the wound on her arm had completely healed.

"The self-healing ability has also gotten stronger, although it is not as powerful as it was during the rampage that night, it’s still quite formidable."

Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.

By now, she had a preliminary understanding of her own physical condition.

Although she had just entered the Starry Rank, she had already surpassed the average Starry beings in all aspects and no longer feared most threats from the Starry.

Of course, if she were to face a Silver Moon alone, unless she used the power of the Blood Holy Scripture, she would still need to run away as quickly as possible.

Having finished the test, Charlotte was quite satisfied with her new physical condition.

Although she still appeared to be a pitiable little girl, her true strength had become monstrous.

After tossing the dagger back to Nisi, Charlotte left the auxiliary room.

"Lord Charlotte, how did it go? What were your test results?"

The boys and girls immediately surrounded her, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Just a bit stronger than Rand."

Rand: ...

Are you sure that’s just a bit?

The boy’s look was full of silent complaint.

Charlotte didn’t dwell further on this topic. After encouraging everyone, she left the training room.

With the physical condition test over, she wanted to thoroughly study the new powers of the Blood Holy Scripture.

Because she was likely going to experiment with the power of "True Ancestor Liberation", for safety’s sake, Charlotte didn’t choose the study but dismissed everyone and went to the manor’s basement.

After closing the basement’s door and ordering Nisi to stand guard outside, Charlotte then sank into her consciousness and began to communicate with the Blood Holy Scripture.

A crimson radiance blossomed within her consciousness, and the heavy tome once again appeared before her eyes.

The title page opened, and familiar information flooded into her mind:

Charlotte browsed her own information, and soon she was slightly stunned.

She noticed that her Bloodline ancestry had changed.

"The Clan of Royal Authority... Kilari?"

Vaguely, Charlotte felt she knew why her power had become so formidable after ascending to the Starry Rank.
