Chapter 629-128- Puppet
Charlotte had once thought about how powerful the two major blood clans that controlled the Kingdom of Koria were.
After all, it is a force that can resist the attack of the Holy Royal Court. If it does not have strength, it will certainly not be able to survive for a thousand years under the siege of the first church on the continent.
But when she actually witnessed the power of the two major blood clans, she was still shocked.
There were more than thirty legendary dukes! There were more than five hundred Counts at the Blazing Sun level! And among the remaining low- and middle-level ones, nearly two-thirds were Silver Moon Viscount-level vampires!
The number of high-level vampires alone is almost the same as the high-end combat power of several core dioceses of the Holy Royal Court!
Obviously, this is the foundation accumulated by the two major clans of Vadrat and Selem over thousands of years.
This is how vampires are, they live long lives. As long as they can survive, their accumulated strength will definitely become stronger and stronger as time goes by.
Of course, in reality, there are always various accidents that lead to the demise of the blood clan. For example, the thousand-year-long purge by the Holy Royal Court has caused heavy losses to almost every active blood clan.
But today Charlotte found an exception.
Vadrat and Selem, the two clans that controlled the Kingdom of Koria, the two vampires that fought the most and most frequently with the Holy Royal Court, actually possessed more high-end power than those vampires who lived in seclusion!
This power... to be honest, let alone using the Kingdom of Koria as a base to fight against the Holy Royal Court.
In an age when the gods do not appear, Charlotte feels that it is very possible to directly declare war on the entire Holy Royal Court and conquer half of the continent!
But the two major clans did not do so.
Is it the restraint of the blood clan princes behind the scenes?
Or...is there some other reason?
"Your Majesty, we have been waiting for this day to come, waiting for you to become our leader again. Are you satisfied with our army?"
Salem Drado asked respectfully.
He could not hide his pride on his face, but his words were full of anticipation, and the burning look he gave Charlotte made the girl feel dazed for a moment.
It was different from the reverence of the Ness clan, the fear of the Shedit clan, and the vigilance and hesitation followed by gratitude and submission of the Hortsos clan...
On his face, and even on the faces of the vampires in the "Vampire Legion" in the square below, there was... and only fanaticism.
That was Charlotte's somewhat nostalgic expression.
That was the expression of her followers when she traveled through history and led several legions of the blood clan to fight against the Alliance of the Old Gods.
If she didn't know where she was standing, she would have suspected that the former blood clan legions had returned.
Oh no.
If we really follow the tradition, these vampires before us are indeed evolved from the two former legions of the vampires.
However, people’s hearts will change, but the beliefs of these vampires before us seem to have not changed even after a thousand years.
But Charlotte did not simply feel relieved. On the contrary... she felt a little confused.
There is no other reason. According to the records in various classics, the Vadrat and Selem clans were the first two clans to betray the True Ancestor of Blood, and it was they who started the division of the blood clan.
After they heard about Charlotte's situation, they even wanted to infiltrate the Territory of Castel, although for some reason there was no follow-up.
This is very contradictory.
If they were the ones who started the split, why were they so excited now? It was as if... as if they had known this day would come and had been looking forward to Charlotte's arrival.
"True Ancestor... Your Majesty?"
Looking at Charlotte who had fallen into silence, Drado, the great elder of the Salem clan, called out respectfully.
Charlotte put away her thoughts and nodded slightly:
"good."
After receiving recognition, the eyes of Drado and other vampires brightened up, like children being praised by their parents.
Charlotte looked at the black dragon Odoria beside her:
"I see that their uniforms have been changed into thorny roses. Did you prepare this in advance?"
"This is the unanimous opinion of the elders of the two clans. After learning of your return, they decided to re-activate your holy emblem. After all... they are all your most devout believers."
Eudocia said.
lie.
This was Charlotte's first thought.
Although Eudocia swore solemnly, and although the respect and enthusiasm from the vampires in front of him were genuine...
Charlotte was very sure of this, because as a true god, even if she was not in the Dark Night Castle, she could still listen to the voices of these "descendants" to a certain extent and knew that they really respected her.
but……
She did not feel the faith of these vampires.
They are not her believers.
Of course, it is not advisable to simply and crudely say that Eudocia lied. After all, there was a contract between her and the other party, and the other party could not have deceived her.
Charlotte believed that the vampires before her had faith in someone else.
She is a fanatical follower of the True Ancestor, but her faith is not in her.
At a certain moment, Lilith's figure appeared in Charlotte's mind again.
"Their faith... is it still you?"
Charlotte murmured in her heart.
If that's the case, maybe it makes sense.
Not everyone can maintain such a huge army of vampires, especially in the era when the gods of the Holy Royal Court rose to power. Fighting against the gods of the Royal Court was an arduous task.
However, it would be different if there was a powerful existence silently supporting you from behind.
However, if the Vadrat Clan and the Salem Clan were really the work of Lilith, why did she maintain such a large army of vampires and give it to herself?
Now that the Holy Royal Court and the Blood Clan are no longer enemies, who should they deal with?
Not only that, except for her, the "person from another world", everyone else on the continent of Miria had forgotten Lilith's name.
Since even the name and existence have been forgotten, why does faith still exist?
Or maybe the destination they believed in was not Lilith, but was intercepted by some other existence, or maybe it went to their king?
Thinking of this, Charlotte wanted to meet the princes of the two major clans as soon as possible.
She had a mythological intuition, and if she met the princes of the Vadrat and Salem clans, perhaps her doubts would be answered.
"Yes, even after a thousand years, you still maintain the glory of the Blood Clan Legion. But... where is your prince? Even if he is injured, it's time for him to come out and meet you, right?"
Charlotte asked.
Even if a demigod is injured, it is not difficult to create a magical avatar to meet him, unless he does not want to meet or cannot meet.
After hearing Charlotte's words, the vampires from the two major clans looked at each other.
In the end, it was Drado who stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, we have reported your arrival to the Grand Duke, but... we have not received a response. Perhaps they are still asleep..."
they?
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.
She subconsciously felt it, but... she didn't feel the breath of myth. Not only that, although the two remaining "suns" in the crimson sea of stars gave her an increasingly strong sense of throbbing, as if they were nearby, Charlotte still did not get a response.
"Where are they?"
Charlotte asked.
"Please follow me. They are in the forbidden area of the capital. No vampire has the right to enter, not even me. Except... you."
Eudocia said.
Soon, she respectfully made a "please" gesture.
Charlotte glanced at her and shook her head:
"Eudocia, now that you have regained your memory, you have become more mysterious and less cute."
Eudocia stiffened, but did not answer, but bowed respectfully and led the way.
Seeing the other party like this, Charlotte felt a little bored, but she followed him anyway.
Passing through the castle of the vampires, Charlotte soon arrived in front of a huge stone gate surrounded by many high-level vampires.
The stone gate was majestic and imposing, painted with intricate vampire emblems and reliefs, and protected by layers of magic barriers, exuding an ancient and timeless atmosphere.
After seeing this stone gate, Charlotte's divine fire began to beat violently, and a kind of mysterious resonance was faintly produced in her blood.
Deep in the consciousness, in the crimson sea of stars, one of the only two remaining "suns" is shining with unprecedented brilliance.
One of the remaining two princes is among them!
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
However, even though Charlotte had arrived at the door, no vampire prince came out.
Even though Charlotte released her breath, she did not conceal her existence.
The chief elder of the Salem clan, Drado, was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and was about to knock on the door, but was quickly stopped by Charlotte:
"No need, I can go in by myself."
After she finished speaking, Charlotte lightly tapped the heavy stone door, and it slowly opened under the crimson light.
Charlotte stepped forward and walked in.
The changing vision and the flow of magic power give one a familiar feeling of being in a different space.
When the scene before her became clear again, Charlotte was stunned.
She came to the Dark Night Castle.
It is not the dark night castle of her spiritual world.
Instead, it is a "realistic" dark night castle located in a different space that is exactly the same as her spiritual world.
The black stone walls were as solemn and majestic as ever, and the crimson Blood Throne stood on the steps. Even the reliefs on both sides of the walls were exactly the same as the castle in Charlotte's spiritual world, depicting the legend of the True Ancestor and her deeds after her return.
The "sun" in the ocean of consciousness became quiet, but Charlotte's expression became solemn.
There was nothing on the Blood Throne, but next to the Blood Throne, one on the left and one on the right, there were two tall sculptures standing.
Those were two puppets covered with cracks.
They were painted with the crests of the Vadrat and Salem clans respectively, and the aura they exuded was far beyond legend, almost reaching the level of demigods.
The clothes they wore were exactly the same as the ones Charlotte saw in Lilith's memory, when the blood princes served as legion commanders.
Almost in an instant, Charlotte realized that they... were the Grand Duke mentioned by Drado and others!
puppet!
The myths of the Vadrat clan and the Salem clan were not about real demigods, but puppets comparable to demigods!
A huge wave rose in Charlotte's heart, and she instantly realized why the vampires called them "Grand Duke".
Because he is just a puppet, not a demigod, he cannot be called "Your Majesty"!
Charlotte let out a light breath and walked towards the throne.
Climbing up the stairs, Charlotte came to the throne.
The two puppets did not respond.
No, it should be said that they are no longer able to produce any reaction. In Charlotte's perception, they have lost their spiritual light and only have power left.
They have lost their intelligence and can no longer move, and naturally cannot respond to the vampires of the two clans.
Charlotte's eyes naturally fell on the Blood Throne.
In the center of the throne, there is an envelope decorated with thorny rose patterns.
Charlotte raised her fingers lightly and took the envelope into her hand. When she saw the words on the envelope clearly, her eyes suddenly became serious.
The envelope was crimson, and the words were gold, in the shape of squares:
"Charlotte de Castel, to whom I belong."
Well, it's Chinese.
