Chapter 123 122 The Mastermind Behind the Flame Demon Disaster
Chapter 123 -122- The Mastermind Behind the Flame Demon Disaster
Did the Blood Power change her appearance in the dream world?
Charlotte thought.
She tried to materialize items like she did in the Dark Night Castle, but failed.
This made Charlotte certain of another thing, that is, if the dream she entered was not her own, everything here could not be changed as she wished.
Other intruders were just guests.
Only the owner of the dream world could change it.
In other words, Charlotte might not be able to interfere with everything in this dream at the moment.
Of course, this is based on the premise that she only uses her own power.
Her current real power is only the first level of Stars, and she can't even release her mental power. It's normal that she can't interfere with other people's dream world.
However, just because she can't do it herself doesn't mean she can't do it after cheating.
Thinking of this, Charlotte tried to use the Blood Power, and at the same time tried to materialize the mirror in her mind again.
The crimson glow bloomed in the consciousness, a faint light appeared in Charlotte's hand, and an ancient mirror slowly emerged...
Charlotte felt a little relieved.
Although her own power was too weak to interfere with this dream.
But the blood power... can make her regain the power to make her dreams come true in the dream world!
That's stable.
Next, just find Lottie's consciousness and the fire demon Valaroka.
After confirming her own status, Charlotte removed the mirror.
There was no way. Using any power in this dream would consume divine power and her cheat time.
She had to use it sparingly and use the best steel on the blade.
"Let's go, let's go in."
After removing the divine power, Charlotte's eyes fell on the manor hall where the banquet was held not far away, and said to Sebastian.
The two walked towards the hall one after the other, surrounded by nobles coming and going.
No one noticed their actions.
Or to be more precise, the people around them, including the guards, could not see the two at all.
There is only a thin line between dreams and illusions.
There is no doubt that Lottie's dream is an illusion for Charlotte and the others.
However, Charlotte has a feeling.
As long as she uses the power of blood and has the power to interfere with dreams, these people in the dream can see her.
After entering the hall, the surroundings became even more noisy.
The nobles gathered in groups of three or two, talking and laughing, and Charlotte could even hear their conversations.
Some were talking about recent interesting stories, some were talking about literature and art, and some were talking about what they saw and heard on the continent...
Seriously speaking, if Charlotte didn't know that she was in a dream, she wouldn't be able to recognize the difference between here and reality.
"Great master, this dream scene... I'm afraid it was the birthday party of the Broglie sisters in Broglie Manor ten years ago, and it was also the night of the Flame Demon Disaster."
Sebastian said solemnly.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
Looking at the familiar scenes around her, she had actually guessed it.
Sweeping the hall, Charlotte looked for Lottie.
Lottie is the master of the dream.
Only by finding Lottie can she be brought out of this dream.
She must be quick, to wake Lottie before the Fire Demon Disaster occurs in the dream world.
Dreams and reality often have a certain reflection.
Mary said that the Fire Demon Valaroka is trying to wake up. Since the dream world in question is the day of the Fire Demon Disaster, then the outbreak of the Fire Demon Disaster must mean the resurrection of Valaroka.
Charlotte's eyes swept around the hall again and again.
However, she did not find Lottie.
Instead, she listened to the conversations of the nobles around her and learned a lot of secrets of the noble families...
When Charlotte looked around, her eyes accidentally fell on Sebastian who followed her in, but she saw Sebastian's serious expression.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she asked:
"Sebastian, what's wrong?"
"Master, this dream is a little bit wrong..."
Sebastian looked at the nobles around him and said in a deep voice.
Something wrong?
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Oh? Tell me your judgment."
Charlotte said.
"Master... As far as I know, the dream world revolves around the owner of the dream, and the scenes that are played out are things that the dream owner knows or understands in his memory."
"In places where the owner of the dream is not there, generally speaking, the dream will become blurred... Only when you are closer to the owner of the dream, the dream world will be more real."
Sebastian said respectfully.
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the hall, and he couldn't help but say:
"But this dream is too real... There is no gradual change in dreams, and it seems so real everywhere..."
"We can even hear the conversations of these nobles clearly. To be honest... I don't believe that Lottie's dream can be so specific and detailed..."
"This is not normal..."
"This dream should be Lottie's memory. She can't remember it so clearly, and it's impossible for her to remember the conversations of the nobles so clearly, not to mention that she is not in the hall now, and everything in the hall is still running normally."
"Master... There is something wrong with this dream!"
Of course there is a problem, after all, it is a dream of the resurrection of the Fire Demon Valaroka.
Charlotte said in her heart.
However, Sebastian's words reminded her of something.
When she pulled Sebas into the Dark Night Castle, the edge of the spiritual world was filled with crimson mist, which was in line with the setting of the dream world centered on the Lord of Dreams.
But now, they didn't even see any fog.
This only shows that this dream scene is very large, even bigger than Charlotte imagined.
However, Lottie alone would not be able to manifest such a specific and real dream.
Combining the meaning of this dream, Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she made a guess:
"This dream... I'm afraid it's not just Lottie's dream."
"It is also the dream of Valaroca, the Fire Demon."
Sebastian's expression gradually became serious:
"I'm afraid... this is the only explanation."
Charlotte looked away from the hall and said thoughtfully:
"So... Lottie's main consciousness is probably with the fire demon Valaroca."
"I'm afraid Lottie was taken somewhere in the dream by Vararoca."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebas was thoughtful.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly:
"Where is the ceremony?"
Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded:
"It's not impossible."
"It seems that we have to find where the dungeon of Manor Broglie is. As far as I know, the place where the sacrifices of the Balrog Calamity were made ten years ago was the dungeon of Manor Broglie!"
Sebastian thought for a moment and said.
Charlotte shook her head slightly:
"It's not that troublesome."
"Someone...will take us there."
Um?
Sebastian's heart moved slightly.
The next moment, applause and cheers rang out in the hall, attracting countless eyes.
Sebastian also subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and soon saw two figures in gorgeous clothes.
One person she knew very well was Duke Andrei, the lord of Bold.
The other person looked much stranger. He was a middle-aged male aristocrat, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Lottie's.
"The Count of Broglie...and the Duke of Bold?"
Sebastian raised his eyebrows slightly.
But soon, he frowned slightly again:
"Wait... the Duke attended the dinner ten years ago?"
Charlotte was also a little surprised.
On the night of the Fire Demon Disaster, various sources never mentioned that the Duke also attended the banquet.
But in the dream, he appeared.
This is a bit subtle.
Almost all the guests on the day of the Fire Demon's Disaster died.
Very few people escaped.
And no one in the mage group who participated in the war had ever seen Duke Bold.
This shows that the Duke must have come in a hurry and left soon.
As if to verify Charlotte's guess, after raising a toast, Duke Bold left the hall.
Then, Count Broglie followed.
Seeing the two people leaving together with their attendants, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
"Let's follow."
She said to Sebastian.
Following the Duke of Bold and Count Broglie, they also left the hall.
However, the direction the Duke left was not the gate of the manor, but the garden behind the manor hall.
After entering the garden, the person leading the way was replaced by Count Broglie.
The two of them walked along the garden path and soon came to an iron gate hidden behind the garden, and quietly turned in.
"The master...is the dungeon of Manor Broglie!"
Sebastian was slightly solemn.
Good guy...
Did the Duke actually participate in the Fire Demon disaster ten years ago?
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at the iron door in front of her, she narrowed her eyes:
"Let's follow."
Follow the two people into the iron gate. Behind the iron gate are the steps that wind down. At the end of the steps, there is indeed a dungeon.
In the dungeon, there were layers of guards, following Count Broglie as "observers". Charlotte and the two quickly found the ritual location deep in the dungeon.
It was an altar.
The altar is very similar to the altar of the Blood Demon Order.
However, there was no evil eye, instead there was an empty crystal coffin.
The Count of Broglie and the Duke of Bold were standing in front of the altar talking.
"How are the preparations for the ceremony going?"
"Go back to Your Majesty the Duke. It can be carried out tonight. If everything goes well, my daughter will be healthy tomorrow morning. It will be much safer to hold the ceremony for you by then."
"Hmm... that's right. Be careful not to be discovered. The church has already suspected that you have some dealings with the Blood Demon Cult. It's getting harder and harder to find sacrifices."
"Please rest assured that I have made arrangements. Once the ceremony is successful, I will kill their informant and then proactively report the Blood Demon Order's whereabouts to the church... As for the ceremony prepared for you, the sacrifices are sufficient."
"Hmm...are you really sure that the devil contract they provided is valid?"
"It has been verified and there is no problem."
"Can it cure any hidden diseases in the body?"
"That's right."
"Including mine?"
"Yes, it can also cure your fertility problems..."
"Very good! After this incident, Bold will remember the contribution of the Broglie family."
After hearing Count Broglie's answer, Duke Bold was quite satisfied.
Behind them, Charlotte looked serious, and waves surged in her heart:
The Fire Demon disaster ten years ago... Duke Bold was actually one of the masterminds behind it!
Today there is still one update, 3,000 words.
