Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Chapter 78: The Whereabouts of the Bloodline Holy Artifact


"Great Master, supreme Master of Darkness! You are finally willing to receive your humble servant Albrecht!"

In the solemn and magnificent palace, a Legendary Bloodline, dressed in a black robe, bowed respectfully and extravagantly to Charlotte, who sat high on the throne.

Looking at the familiar black tailcoat on him, as well as the familiar extravagant actions and posture, Charlotte's lips twitched slightly, smiling faintly and said:

"I heard that in recent years you often travel between Falling Star and the Northern Territory, and have made quite a friendship with one of my stewards. So... you've even changed your clothing style, are you planning to apply for the position of a steward?"

"As you say, isn't it because I heard you prefer this style? I see that many attendants in the Royal Palace dress like this. In these two years, the nobles and bloodlines of Falling Star also favor this tailcoat style. When the higher-ups favor something, the lower ones naturally follow."

Albrecht said with a smile.

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Charlotte again:

"Of course, if you are willing to appoint humble Albrecht as a steward, it would naturally be Albrecht's greatest honor."

Charlotte: ...

She indeed quite liked the simple and elegant tailcoats and had Sebastian redesign the royal attendants' clothing. She had also heard about the "tailcoat trend" that became popular in Falling Star, but never expected even Albrecht, a Legendary Bloodline, to be influenced.

Of course, she knew this was Albrecht flattering her.

The Legendary Bloodline's perception of extraordinary power far exceeds that of other beings.

As Charlotte's power gradually increased and she became a true myth, she could feel Albrecht, the Demon Bloodline she forcibly took in as a Blood Servant, becoming more and more respectful.

"Enough chit-chat, tell me, what is it you want, coming to see me time and again?"

Charlotte waved her hand, saying.

Seeing Charlotte bringing the conversation back on track, Albrecht's demeanor turned serious as well.

He pushed the purely decorative black-framed glasses before his eyes and asked:

"True Ancestor, Your Majesty, I've heard you plan to accept the Church Authority Country's invitation to attend the Holy Royal Court's ceremony in three months?"

Charlotte glanced at him:

"Why, is there a problem?"

"Of course, there's a problem! Great Master, it is a conspiracy. These two years, the Dark Night Church has been overly active in the Falling Star Kingdom. And as far as I know, the newly appointed Chief High Priest of the Holy Royal Court is not only part of the New Moon Diocese faction, but also a member of the Heretic Extermination Party. The Heretic Extermination Party hates faith-dividing heresies the most. Now the Church Authority Country has signed an agreement with New Moon. Anyone with basic understanding will realize this is targeting you. Not to mention reaching the Church Authority Country safely, you might even encounter attacks from those religious fanatics midway."

Albrecht said.

"Oh? Then, are you worried about my safety and trying to persuade me to give up going?"

Charlotte squinted her eyes and said.

Albrecht shook his head:

"How could I? You are the great True Ancestor, Your Majesty, a deity walking through time. Any decision made by you must have your considerations. Your powerful strength is not something ordinary people can match. I merely want to remind you of the risk within. After all... that is the Church Authority Country, and even myths cannot ensure absolute safety there. If you decide to go, you must be fully prepared beforehand."

"On the premise of full preparation, I fully support and indeed believe that you need to make a trip there."

Charlotte felt a subtle emotion in her heart, looking at him with a faint smile:

"Oh? Hearing you say this, it seems you have some exclusive information regarding the Church Authority Country? And it sounds like you also know some other reasons why I must go to the Church Authority Country?"

Albrecht smiled slightly:

"Of course, the best-informed about the Church Authority Country are always its enemies. I am the third Angel Envoy of the Blood Demon Church. The Blood Demon Church and the Holy Royal Court have been at odds for over a thousand years, and naturally, the Church holds some precious information on the Church Authority Country, which even the priests who follow you might not be aware of."

After speaking, Albrecht lowered his head and from his bosom took out a luxurious sheepskin scroll, handing it over with both hands.

Charlotte noticed that Albrecht's expression was somewhat complex and self-deprecating when he mentioned the Blood Demon Church.

It seemed... there were other hidden stories.

Without a change in her expression, she waved her hand, using magic power to summon the sheepskin scroll and browsed through it, her face showing surprise.

Albrecht wasn't exaggerating.

What he presented indeed was precious intelligence regarding the Church Authority Country.

The data not only recorded information on the current cardinal priests of the Church Authority Country but also included details on the factions of the country's high echelons, transcendent powers, and even data on mythological prohibitions and divine artifacts that could threaten deities.

What startled Charlotte even more were the internal maps of the Church Authority Country and various pieces of intelligence which were undoubtedly clandestine.

Charlotte even saw an internal investigation report on her, including how different factions within the Church Authority Country viewed her and proposed different approaches for dealing with the Dark Night Church and her as the "Wild Saintess."

However, what caught Charlotte's most attention was the last part of the intelligence.

It concerned the information about the "Fallen Holy Artifact" Curse Demon Cup.

Of course, "Fallen Holy Artifact" is just the name in the reports.

Its true name should be the Bloodline's Holy Artifact, capable of sensing the Blood Holy Scripture Fragments—the Blood Cup.

The reports indicate that the Bloodline Holy Artifact commanded by Charlotte to be found by Albrecht has already fallen into the hands of the Holy Royal Court, and along with a large batch of cursed pages seized from various dioceses, has been transported to the headquarters of the Church Authority Country.

Furthermore, the Cardinal Priest Team of the Church Authority Country has already made a decision to, three months later within the upcoming great hall, use this as bait to probe the Falling Star Queen, suspected of having ties to the Bloodline prince, to publicly identify the "Saintess" identity. Simultaneously, as a ceremonial offering, they plan to use the Church Suppressing Divine Artifact to openly destroy these "evil objects of the Blood Demon."

After browsing through the intelligence brought by Albrecht, Charlotte's expression became solemn.

She glanced at the demon bloodline down on the stage, who showed a respectful posture, and said:

"Albrecht, I want to know the true source of this information."

"As you see, all this information was obtained from inside the church."

Albrecht answered.

"Honestly, I want to hear the truth. This intelligence, even inside the Church Authority Country, is likely only mastered by those high-ranking Great Priests. Don't tell me the Blood Demon Church also has its own spies within the Church Authority Country's Cardinal Priest Team."

Charlotte said.

Albrecht sighed:

"Great True Ancestor Your Majesty, actually... that is precisely why I was so eager to visit you."

"I did not deceive you; this intel was indeed obtained from within the church. More accurately, it was acquired from the memory of the fourth Angel Envoy responsible for the Eastern Yunai Black Land branch. Rather than saying the church has its own spies within the Holy Royal Court, it's better to say... actually, the branch in Eastern Yunai Black Land has long been infiltrated by the Holy Royal Court."

Charlotte's heart stirred:

"Oh? You mean to say, while investigating the Holy Artifact in these years, you discovered the fourth Angel Envoy of the Blood Demon Church was a person of the Holy Royal Court, and after reading his memory, you obtained the above intelligence, right?"

Albrecht sighed:

"Precisely."

"How long ago did this happen?"

Charlotte asked.

"About half a month ago." Albrecht answered respectfully.

Charlotte fell silent.

The intelligence brought by Albrecht was critical, yet also very coincidental.

Mutual infiltration between different powers is quite normal, but at this delicate point in time, obtaining such clear and complete intel in this manner seems almost too coincidental.

"So... what happened to that fourth Angel Envoy of the Blood Demon Church?"

Charlotte asked.

"He's dead. After I forcibly read his memory, he died from the Holy Fire. It should be the Divine Technique Restriction left inside him. Actually, had I not obtained sufficiently strong power from you, I wouldn't have been able to read his memory. The memory shows that the fourth Angel Envoy has been a person of the Holy Royal Court for over a hundred years. Over this hundred years, many pages collected by the church were sent to him, now... presumably they have all fallen into the hands of the Church Authority Country."

Albrecht sighed.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

She was determined to obtain the Holy Scripture Fragments and the Bloodline Holy Artifact capable of locating the fragments. Her Blood Divine Power had already increased to the limit, and to further condense her Divine Position, she must perfect the Bloodline Path of the Bloodline, and the quickest and most direct method was to complete the Blood Holy Scripture.

If the intel brought by Albrecht was true, then she must go to the Church Authority Country at all costs.

Yet she still felt the intel arrived too coincidentally.

Not long after receiving the invitation letter from the Church Authority Country, Albrecht brought this intel. Viewed from another angle, it looked like someone deliberately sending it over.

But, on the other hand, her hostility with the Blood Demon Church is widely known. Albrecht's defection is secret, not to mention that Albrecht being ordered by her to find the Bloodline's locating Holy Artifact was a secret only known by her and the other party.

Under such circumstances, even if they were delivering the intelligence intentionally to lure her or warn her, they shouldn't use the Blood Demon Church as a channel.

Could it be... it really was a coincidence?

"Albrecht, I remember you said the fourth Angel Envoy of the Eastern Yunai Black Land was more elusive than you. How did you find the other party?"

Charlotte asked.

"Interestingly, I had never been able to find any clue. But half a year ago, a base of the church in Eastern Yunai Black Land was raided by the Holy Royal Court's Demon Hunting Knights. I happened to be nearby and followed the trail to find him."

Albrecht said.

"Strangely... coincidental indeed."

Charlotte fell into contemplation.
