Tome of Blood

   "Your Excellency Luf, what's wrong with you?"

   Seeing the slightly dazed werewolf, Steward Hank asked curiously.

  The werewolf Luf quickly reacted, he owed Hank the manager, and said:

   "Sorry, Mr. Hank, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with in the tribe, and I need to leave."

  After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he got up and left the tent, and hurried to Caiyin City.

  In Silver Mining City, the old mining area where civilians gather.

  In one year, a large-scale gathering place of demihumans has been formed here, centered on the blood wolf tribe who migrated north and the demihuman miners in the Castel Mine.

  On the old streets, Asian residents can be seen everywhere. Seeing Luf who hurried into the block, they all stopped to pay tribute, and stretched out their right hands to outline a rose symbol on their chests.

  The werewolf Luf did not stop.

  While nodding to the demihumans, he walked deeper into the old mining area, crossing roads, rounding corners, making seven turns, and finally stopped in front of a long-abandoned old church.

   There are also werewolves standing guard in front of the church.

  After seeing Lu Fu, they bowed slightly and saluted respectfully:

   "Lord Luf."

  Luf nodded to them and walked straight into the church.

  Different from the dilapidated outside, the inside of the church is quite tidy. Believers in black cloaks are standing in the hall, silently praying to the statue in the center.

  The one enshrined in front of the hall is not the statue of the **** Lord Haral, but a goddess with a vague face.

  The goddess is sitting on a throne surrounded by thorns and roses. She rests her chin on one hand and flips a heavy book with the other, her eyes seem to be looking into the distance.

   "Master Luf..."

  Seeing Luf enter the church, a werewolf who is obviously the leader among the believers in black greeted him.

  Luf nodded slightly and asked:

   "How is it? What happened today?"

   "No, His Majesty the True Ancestor still hasn't issued an oracle today."

  The werewolf shook his head and replied.

  Louf thoughtfully.

   "Let me take a look."

  Following the induction in his heart, he said.

  The werewolf got out of the way, and Lu Fu came to the statue.

  Taking a deep breath, he bowed respectfully towards the statue, then raised his right hand, drew a rose symbol on his chest, and praised devoutly as before:

   "The Supreme True Ancestor..."

   "The embodiment of darkness and shadows..."

   "The source of all blood..."

   "Your pious and humble descendant, hereby pray for guidance..."

   "..."

   Before the words fell, crimson radiance permeated the statue.

  Seeing this scene, the believers were stunned for a while, and then suddenly ecstatic:

   "Shenguang! It is the divine light of our Lord!"

   "His Majesty the True Ancestor finally responded! Another oracle will be issued!"

   Seeing the crimson brilliance, Lu Fu also felt certain and showed joy.

  He finally confirmed that the summoning induction in the dark was indeed the guidance of the true ancestor.

  After sleeping for several months, His Majesty the True Ancestor...has awakened again!

   "The Great True Ancestor of Blood, your loyal follower, Lufu, is here to listen to your oracle!"

  Luf knelt on one knee, his voice solemn and authentic.

  The dense light spread from the statue and fell on Lu Fu.

   In a trance, the believers in the hall seemed to hear an ethereal female voice whispering softly, ethereal and mysterious.

  Lu Fu was slightly taken aback, and then quickly listened, his expression became more respectful.

   After a while, the crimson glow dissipated, and the statue returned to calm.

   And in Luf's hand, there was a crystal clear crystal ball.

  Looking at the crystal ball in his hand, Lu Fu was thoughtful, he got up slowly, and saluted respectfully to the statue again:

   "Luf...follow your oracle!"

  The respectful, envious and yearning gazes of the believers fell on him, and the leader of the werewolf stepped forward and said curiously:

   "Master Lufu, what did His Majesty the True Ancestor order this time?"

  Luf's eyes flickered slightly:

   "The true ancestor has an order, ordering us to secretly collect information on the northern rebels, and at the same time continue to lie dormant, not to reveal our beliefs."

   "Collecting information on the Northland rebels?"

  The werewolf believer was stunned for a moment, then thought about it:

   "I heard that the Patriarch of the Legolis family seems to be related to the blood race. Could it be that... the rebels are also believers of our lord?"

  Luf shook his head:

   "No, my lord is my lord, and the vampire is the vampire. As early as during the vampire civil war, they were not on the same path as us."

   "My lord's oracle naturally has my lord's intentions, and you can execute it. In addition... prepare a suitable suit for me. I will go to the kingdom's army station and visit Viscount Remisio."

  …

  Eastern mining area of ​​Castel Silver Mine.

  As the location of the Crescent Royal Family's mineral share, this is also where the Kingdom's army is stationed.

  On the edge of the mining area, stands a fortress more than 30 meters high.

   This is a fortress castle built by the Kingdom's military. It is specially used to guard the Castel Mithril Mine. It is also the barracks for 1,500 Kingdom professional soldiers.

  In the castle, in the commander's office.

   Viscount Remisio, who was wearing the uniform of an officer of the kingdom, was sitting at the desk, dealing with official duties.

  Suddenly, a soldier came to the door and saluted him respectfully:

   "Report! Lord Viscount, there is a werewolf outside the fort who claims to be the messenger of Castel, please see him!"

   Viscount Remisio put down his quill, and his sinister-looking face frowned slightly:

   "Werewolf? Castel's messenger?"

   After thinking for a while, he waved his hand:

   "Bring him in."

  A moment later, under the leadership of the fully armed guards, the werewolf Luf, who took off the miner's uniform and put on the uniform of the Castel family servant, came to the office.

  He saluted Viscount Remisio slightly, and said in a deep voice:

   "The envoy of Castel, Luf Blood Wolf, has met Viscount Remisio."

   Viscount Remisio narrowed his eyes slightly, he looked Luf up and down, and then smiled:

   "I have seen you, you are the werewolf who followed Lord Charlotte back then."

   "You said you are Castel's envoy, do you have a token in your hand?"

  Luf nodded, and then took out the crystal ball bestowed by the oracle in the form of divine blessing from his bosom, and presented it respectfully.

  Seeing the crystal clear crystal ball, Viscount Remisio's eyes moved slightly, he nodded to the guard, and the guard took the crystal ball and presented it in front of him.

  Looking at the faintly visible magic inscription on the crystal ball, Viscount Remisio was surprised:

   "This is... the communication crystal popular among the nobles of the Fallen Star Kingdom?"

  As soon as the voice fell, the crystal ball burst into radiance, the magic inscriptions on it lit up one by one, and a translucent projection was gradually projected around the crystal ball centered on it.

  Under Viscount Remisio's amazed eyes, a beautiful figure in a noble dress appeared in the projection.

  Looking at that beautiful figure, Viscount Remisio gradually recovered from his astonishment.

  He chuckled lightly and said:

   "Recently there have been rumors in the Northland that the young Earl of Castel has been controlled by the Legris family, but... I have never believed it."

   "Now it seems that they are all rumors!"

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Charlotte, I really didn't expect you to contact me in such a way. I heard that the Fallen Star Kingdom has always guarded the communication crystal tightly. If you want to get a crystal on the black market of the new moon, you need to buy one." Astronomical prices..."

  After listening to Viscount Remisio's words, Charlotte in the projection also smiled slightly:

   "I often trade with the merchants of the falling stars. There are some unique ways. A communication crystal is not as expensive as you think."

   After finishing speaking, the girl in the projection pinched the corner of her skirt to give a slight greeting:

   "Long time no see, Viscount Remisio..."
