Tome of Blood

   Earl Gaston and his son were finally released by Charlotte.

   Of course, before leaving, they had been transformed into blood servants by Charlotte.

  Whether they are willing or not, their life and death are actually controlled by Charlotte's thoughts.

  As the lowest-level blood servant transformed by Charlotte who has diluted the blood power, their power related to the blood servant is very weak, and the original extraordinary power will also be weakened.

   But it's not all bad.

At least... As blood servants whose blood power is weak but whose original extraordinary power is strong, they are not like those traditional blood servants who rely on the power of blood to become extraordinary, they will be burned or even die when they see the sun, but they will only be burned when they see the sun. Discomfort and weakness in the sun.

  This will make their blood servant status more difficult to be discovered.

   In addition, in order to prevent the two of them from dying, Charlotte even used the spiritual magic [spiritual manipulation], which she has always avoided to use lightly, completely disintegrating the two people's sense of resistance to her.

  It can be said that in addition to retaining self-awareness, Earl Gaston and his son have actually become Charlotte's puppets...

  This result... In a sense, it is even more terrifying than death.

   "Master... Are you planning to start controlling human nobles through the transformation of blood servants and mental manipulation?"

  Looking at the Gaston father and son going away, Sebastian was a little nervous and curious.

  Listening to Sebastian's words, Charlotte could clearly sense the tension hidden in the other's respect.

  She also knew why.

   The method of "transforming a blood servant + mental manipulation" is definitely a bug-like existence.

  With this ability, as long as the blood is strong enough and the soul is strong enough, Charlotte can even transform all human nobles who are weaker than her.

  Even those superhumans who are stronger than her, she can even rely on the cheats of the blood scripture to forcibly transform them, and rely on the divine power of blood to suppress them.

   Such power is too terrifying, and it is normal to be feared by others.

  In the world of Miria, where gods exist, this method of forcibly controlling the lives and spirits of intelligent races is also a common practice of "evil gods".

   This is not only the "evil" subjectively identified by the holy royal court.

   is the "evil" recognized by the Myria civilization world.

   Once this "evil" is made public, it will usher in the siege of the entire civilized world.

  In the long river of history, one of the important reasons why the blood race was overthrown was that the blood race often used similar means to control the superhumans of various races.

  The reason why the blood race suddenly fell into civil war and declined at the peak of the race is a common saying, and the blood race has gradually lost itself in power due to long-term mental manipulation of other races as an important reason.

   Even, even the mysterious disappearance of the blood ancestor, many historical researchers believe that this is the same reason.

  Spiritual magic is easy to lose oneself, especially the spiritual magic of manipulating others.

   Among them, the blood race is more famous for its strength, easy loss of will, and eventually falling into madness.

   This is not just for ordinary vampires.

   Similarly, it also includes those myths in the blood.

  Besides, many of the revived ancient gods in the long history also embarked on a similar path, and then gradually lost themselves in the process of power recovery and became crazy "evil gods".

  Charlotte heard the worry hidden in Sebastian's words.

   He was probably worried that she would follow a similar path.

  Shortcuts have always been accompanied by costs, especially in the field where spirit and transcendence are intertwined.

   This mystical realm is believed to be involved in the origins of mythology, and even the gods have not even been thoroughly studied.

   "Don't worry, I don't have any similar plans. Turning them into blood servants this time is just a temporary response to the enemy."

   Charlotte said.

   She really has no similar thoughts.

   Or, in fact, she herself is quite cautious about powers such as mental manipulation.

  This kind of power is indeed very strong and convenient, but she herself is not sure whether she will become dependent if she gets used to similar power.

   It can only be said that self-control should be done as much as possible, but it cannot be completely discarded. After all... this kind of power is also a natural advantage of the blood race, so it is not in vain.

  The key lies in how to use it. For example, if you really want to gain a group of loyal followers, you should not and cannot rely on "mental manipulation" to accomplish it.

  After all, even without mentioning the self-lostness that may be caused by the abuse of spiritual magic, as long as it is magic, there is the possibility of "cracking", nothing more than the difficulty of cracking.

  The allegiance obtained by relying on "magic" will eventually die from "magic".

  After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief:

   "Sorry, master, I was too worried."

   Soon, his expression became relaxed again, and he praised:

   "However, in this way, Castel's crisis can be resolved smoothly."

"Using Earl Gaston and his son as a springboard, we are fully able to expose the third prince's conspiracy against Castel, coupled with his cooperation with the Gorefiend Sect, it is enough to deal a heavy blow to him, and even drive him out of Bosnia and Herzegovina in one fell swoop." Duchy of Germany."

   "If the trouble gets bigger, maybe even his right to inherit the kingdom may be lost!"

   "And all of these, we can completely win without a fight..."

   "Master, as expected of you, you have completely grasped the initiative in the war after a meeting!"

  The worry was relieved, and Sebastian subconsciously flattered him again.

  However, Charlotte shook her head slightly:

   "No, the war...the one that should be fought still has to be fought."

   "Revealing the conspiracy is nothing more than a means of pressure. It may indeed be able to relieve Castel's crisis, but it may not be effective."

   "If all the actions of the third prince have the king's acquiescence, then no matter how much pressure is exerted, it may be suppressed by the New Moon royal family..."

   "Instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on ourselves. This war is indeed a crisis for us, but why is it not an opportunity?"

  After listening to Charlotte's words, Sebas's heart moved slightly, and he fell into thought:

   "Opportunity..."

   At the same time, in the woods outside the town.

  The army of the Earl of Tulip who was in ambush also welcomed back their own commander.

   "Your Earl!"

  Seeing the returning Earl Gaston and his son, the army adjutant rushed to greet them.

   Earl Gaston glanced at the adjutant, and an imperceptible red light flashed in the depths of his pupils:

   "Send the order to withdraw the troops immediately, return to the station, and then... prepare for war!"
