Chapter 102 101 Earl of Tulip
Chapter 102 -101- Earl of Tulip
In the world of Miria, although astrological magic is a niche, it is not rare.
Many mages will study astrology to some extent, at least they can perform certain spell divination through observation to improve the success rate of magic research.
Looking at the room full of astrological magic books, it is obvious that the owner of the study is quite obsessed with astrological magic.
And the one who is obsessed with astrological magic and is called "Lord Earl" by the blood demon cultists...
The direction is quite clear.
Especially when Charlotte picked up the astronomical instrument and saw the family emblem of Bolde on it...
"Tulip... Earl."
Charlotte frowned.
Earl of Tulip is very famous in the Principality of Bolde.
However, this is not because of his identity as the heir of the original principality, but because of two embarrassing things.
One is that he was not long after he was appointed as the heir and went to the tulip fiefdom. Less than three months later, he aroused the anger of the people and was driven back by the riot.
The other thing is that he is obsessed with astrology magic and doesn't care about politics. He even ruined the political marriage that the Duke of Borde had finally found for him, which angered the Duke and almost broke his legs...
It can be said that although the Earl of Tulip has a noble status, he has almost become a synonym for a laughing stock in the noble circle of Borde, and his presence is not high.
Even Charlotte only had an impression of him because he was the cousin of the original body and often interacted with him when he was a child.
However, such a person turned out to be a collaborator of the Blood Demon Cult?
Disguise?
Has he been pretending all the time?
Charlotte was really surprised.
However, after thinking deeply, she had a feeling of sudden enlightenment...
Charlotte knew that the nobles who colluded with the Blood Demon Cult and secretly assassinated her were for the purpose of obtaining the Castel Territory.
And if we consider it from the perspective of blood inheritance, if she really died and the Castel Territory was taken back by the Duke's Mansion, the first heir would not be the Duke, but the Earl of Tulip.
Because he is the son of Charlotte's aunt, because he is the closest blood relative of the Castel family!
Everyone knows about this.
But no one thinks that if anything happens, the earldom will eventually fall into the hands of Count Tulip.
Even if he inherits, it is likely that the old duke will take it back soon, just like the earldom of Tulip.
Because he behaves too uselessly.
But now, Charlotte suddenly realizes that this earl who is obsessed with astrology and irresponsible in the eyes of the public may have been pretending all along!
Useless?
If he secretly wins over the nobles of the principality through the Drunken Dream Salon, if he secretly has dealings with the Blood Demon Cult and the high priest, then... he is not a waste!
"It turned out to be Count Tulip... It seems that the entire noble circle of Borde has been deceived by him, and I am afraid that even the duke has been deceived by him. He has been hiding his incompetence all along."
Sebastian was also quite surprised, with a look of surprise.
"It should be him. Only with his identity can he get the kingdom's standard crossbow and frame the duke's mansion... No, or to be more precise, it should be framed on the duke."
Charlotte pondered.
"It seems that the Bold family is not as united as the outside world thinks..."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes.
"Master, what should we do next? Ambush here and wait for him to come back?"
He asked respectfully.
Charlotte sensed the remaining time of her True Ancestor's liberation.
During the time when she controlled the blood servant, the True Ancestor's liberation time dropped from 58.5s to 0.1s.
Obviously, although she did not completely liberate the True Ancestor, consuming the blood power to control the blood servant outside the door would still reduce the time limit of the True Ancestor's liberation.
After sensing and scanning the study and confirming that there were no fragments of the holy book here, Charlotte thought for a while and said:
"No, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. The conspiracy of the Blood Demon Cult is more important."
"We continue to track the secrets of the Blood Demon Cult."
After confirming the identity of the mastermind behind the Drunken Dream Salon, the two withdrew from the study.
This raid was smoother than Charlotte had imagined. It must be said... when you have enough power, many things that seemed quite difficult in the past will become simple.
Even if the powerful power obtained is temporary.
Coming back to the corridor, more than 20 blood servants saluted Charlotte respectfully.
When the girl walked out of the study, she saw the little girl in a white dress flash by again and disappeared in the other direction of the corridor.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
"Let's go there and take a look."
Following the figure of the mysterious little girl, Charlotte came to the other end of the corridor.
This should be right below the lobby of the Drunken Dream Salon. What caught her eye was a stone door engraved with various complicated magic patterns.
As soon as she came here, Charlotte felt an indescribable gloomy feeling, as if there were streams of cold air, spreading out along the cracks of the stone door.
Sebastian stepped forward and looked at the magic patterns on the stone door, and soon raised his eyebrows:
"Master, this is a sealed door. There should be something sealed behind it, and... there are warning magic patterns on the seal. If you enter without permission, you may alarm the people behind the scenes."
"I'm ashamed... I haven't studied the sealing magic deeply. Perhaps, I still need you to help me to unlock the seal and the warning magic pattern."
Sebastian said respectfully.
But I don't know how to seal magic either. In fact, I only know low-level majesty and resurrection of the dead now...
Charlotte complained in her heart.
However, just because she can't do it doesn't mean others can't.
"Open this door and don't alarm the warning magic pattern."
She ordered the other two forbidden blood servants who followed her.
They were the ones standing guard in front of the stone gate just now.
After hearing the girl's words, the two forbidden blood servants of the first level of the stars trembled quickly and fell into the struggle of the soul contract again.
But in the end, Charlotte's power was higher.
"Yes."
After a trembling, they bowed their heads respectfully, and then stepped forward, took out the key from their arms, and inserted it into the stone door.
The next second, the magic pattern on the stone door suddenly lit up, emitting a deep glow.
With a creaking sound that made people's teeth ache, the stone door suddenly opened, and the overwhelming smell of blood and evil spirits gushed out, making Sebastian and Charlotte change color.
When the stone door was completely opened, the two of them could see clearly what was inside.
This is an underground cave.
The dome of the cave depicts complex magic patterns and various evil and corrupt patterns.
They spread from all sides to the bottom of the cave.
The ground was full of countless white bones.
In the center of the cave was a huge pool of blood, emitting a strong smell of blood.
The blood pool was designed into an eye pattern, which was extremely strange and evil.
"It's the devil's eye! This is the symbol of the blood demon Duke Abaddon!"
Sebastian was slightly solemn.
Blood demon Duke Abaddon?
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
Her eyes quickly fell on the blood pool.
In the center of the blood pool, there were piles of bones, forming the pupil of the "eye", and in the center of the pupil, there was a black coffin, exuding a palpitating breath.
For some reason, looking at the coffin, Charlotte felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Charlotte looked around, trying to find the little girl again, but found that she had lost her trace.
After thinking for a while, the girl retracted her sight and looked at the blood servants behind her again.
Her eyes were shining:
"Tell me, what is the Blood Demon Cult planning?"
After hearing the girl's order, the blood servants trembled again.
This time, their shaking was more violent than the first time.
They looked ferocious, their eyes were rolling, and Charlotte felt that their souls were fluctuating violently, and they began an unprecedented crazy struggle.
Obviously, Charlotte's question directly touched their deepest taboos.
Charlotte exerted a little force and slightly strengthened the output of the blood power.
The next second, the blood servants trembled even more violently.
Not only that, Charlotte even sensed that the blood servant contracts in their souls began to glow faintly, as if they would tear their souls apart at any time.
She was startled and stopped asking questions.
It was obvious that the soul contracts of these blood servants were even built around keeping the secrets here. If Charlotte forced the answer, even if she got the result, it would inevitably alarm the blood demon high priest behind the scenes.
Charlotte didn't want to alarm the high priest until she had no choice.
Retracting her gaze from the blood servants, Charlotte set her eyes on the dry bones in the cave.
The keen spiritual perception of the blood race and the unique perception of the dark way allowed her to clearly perceive that there were still a large number of lost souls wandering here.
Thinking of the various phantoms she had just seen in the hall, her heart moved slightly and she had some ideas.
Charlotte came to the countless dry bones, gently closed her eyes, and spread her consciousness, covering the dry bones.
Then, she communicated with the power of blood again.
In Sebastian's awed eyes, a trace of ancient and vast aura slowly rose from Charlotte's body, and then disappeared in an instant.
The scarlet light bloomed with the girl as the center, and soon enveloped the entire cave.
In an instant, Charlotte felt a huge memory mixed with overwhelming hatred, fear and despair, pouring into her mind...
The world in front of her was shattered.
