Tome of Blood

  Chapter 54-54-Blood Class and Gorefiend Order

   "Great master, I have already interrogated clearly, and those two blood races are aiming at you."

   "Their purpose is to assassinate you, and then blame everything on the Duke."

   Sebastian said solemnly.

   "Assassinate me? Blame the Duke?"

  The goblet in Charlotte's hand paused slightly.

"Yes."

  Sebas nodded respectfully.

   "Who gave them the order?"

  Charlotte became serious and continued to ask.

   Sebastian had a troubled expression on his face.

  Charlotte instantly understood:

"died?"

   Sebastian sighed:

   "Yes, they are dead."

   "When I planned to continue to interrogate the culprits behind them, they died, dying from the burning of the blood of the blood race, leaving no soul behind..."

   "They are not only vampires, but also blood servants. They are slaves of higher-level vampires, and they have a contract of death if they violate it! They are taboo blood servants of the dark clan!"

   Taboo blood servant...

  Charlotte was thoughtful.

  After possessing the "Book of Blood", she also has some understanding of some titles and levels of the blood race.

  The blood family level forest can be divided into seven levels from bottom to top:

  Squire of Blood, Baron of Blood, Viscount of Blood, Earl of Blood, Marquis or Duke of Blood, Grand Duke or Prince of Blood, and True Ancestor.

   Corresponds to non-advanced superhumans, first-level stars, second-level silver moons, third-level blazing sun, fourth-level legends, demigods, and true gods.

   Among them, the titles of marquis and duke, as well as the title of grand duke or prince, depend entirely on the status of the blood clan and their status in the blood clan, and they belong to the same rank in terms of strength.

   Besides the seven classes, there is also a special class called blood servants.

   Blood servants usually refer to those who are first embraced by blood clans, but are not fully endowed with the power of their blood clans.

  They are generally just non-level transcendents with some blood clan power, and are not recognized by the blood clan as fellows.

  The biggest difference between them and the lowest-level blood servants is that they cannot embrace others for the first time.

  Each blood servant has signed the most stringent blood contract with its "master", which is as strict as the final oath of the servant of the **** of contract. The master can end the life of the blood servant within a certain distance at any time.

  They are the most basic servants of the blood race.

   But there is an exception.

   That is, some blood races will apply the contract that originally applied to blood servants to other blood races, turning other low-level blood races into their own slaves.

   Or in other words, simply raise the power of the blood servant to the level of the blood family.

  Thus, slaves with blood power appeared.

  They are called taboo blood servants.

  Charlotte learned from church classics that this practice is also forbidden among blood clans.

  Because in the eyes of the vast majority of blood races, this kind of behavior that leads to class confusion is a great insult to the noble blood races, and it also poses a huge hidden danger to the social stability of the blood races.

  The vast majority of blood clans firmly oppose this and strictly prohibit it.

   Except for one clan.

  The Clan of Darkness—Shedith.

  The ruler of the Dark Clan is none other than Charlotte's "old acquaintance", Abaddon, the Grand Duke of Blood Demon.

   Obviously, the Gorefiend Cult has targeted Charlotte and wants her to die.

  Charlotte was not particularly surprised by this, after all, she wanted her to die once when she crazily criticized the old hag, and the old hag was a member of the Gorefiend Cult.

  However, the old woman sacrificed for blood. She has held the cursed pages for a long time. Maybe her mind is not so clear, or her actions are completely contrary to the Blood Demon Sect.

   But now that the Gorefiend Sect has made another move, it at least shows that the Gorefiend Sect doesn't want Charlotte to live.

  Then the question is, what good will it do for the Blood Demon Cult if she dies?

  And... why did the other party blame the Duke?

   After thinking about it, Charlotte asked:

   "I heard that there was a deal between the Rose Society and the Blood Demon Order. How much do you know about the Blood Demon Order?"

  Sebas thought for a while, and replied respectfully:

   "The Gorefiend Cult is an underground secret sect that believes in the Gorefiend Grand Duke. It has always been active in the West Unite region, especially the New Moon Kingdom."

  "Their core members are almost all blood races, and they will also absorb some humans as peripheral members. They are also the blood race religious order that once overturned the New Moon Kingdom in history."

   "The blood race is called blood-born ghosts in the New Moon Kingdom, and it is also because of them."

   "Oh, by the way, great master, these lunatics also like to collect pages of cursed books, I think you should also be very interested in them."

  The remaining pages of the Holy Book...

  Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

   I have to say, she did become interested.

   Seeing the girl getting more and more serious, Sebas continued:

   "There is only one purpose of the Gorefiend Sect's active purpose, and that is to find a way to bring the Gorefiend Grand Duke into the world."

   "The Balrog disaster ten years ago was a disaster planned by the Gorefiend Sect."

"It is said that they bewitched Earl Broglie at that time, with the purpose of summoning the Balrog Vallaroka under the seat of the Gorefiend Grand Duke, and then made the Gorefiend Duke use the body of the Balrog Vallaroka as his holy body to descend into the incarnation of a god! "

   "Of course, they failed in the end, and even the half-fallen Balrog Valaroka was sealed."

   "But in the past six months, the number of missing persons and murder cases in Boulder has increased sharply, especially in the outer city, almost all of them are shadows of blood clans behind them, and traces of shadow magic and necromantic magic are very common..."

   "So, we have always suspected that the Gorefiend Sect is about to move again."

   "It is also because of this that we will make deals with existences that may be members of the Blood Demon Sect."

   "Of course, to be more precise, it is to make a deal with the blood clan of the Dark Clan, because we are not sure which blood clan is a member of the Blood Demon Cult."

   "You know, even if they are in the same clan, it doesn't mean that they will be loyal to their prince and grand duke, let alone join the corresponding sect."

"Speaking of which, in fact, what we do with the Blood Clan of the Dark Clan is just some ordinary information business or serious goods trading, and our real purpose is to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Blood Demon Sect and figure out their identity. Purpose."

   "After all... In a sense, they are also enemies of the Rose Society."

  Charlotte was a little surprised:

   "An enemy of the Rose Society?"

   "Exactly."

  Sebas nodded and continued:

   "The Rose Society is the underground master of Boulder, and maintaining Boulder's underground order is one of the responsibilities of the Rose Society."

"We don't care about vendettas, duels, etc., and we don't care about the battles between supernatural beings, but if someone stretches out his tentacles from the dark to the bright side and uses superhuman powers to harm innocent civilians, Then we'll take care of it."

   "Obviously, the Gorefiend Cult has crossed the line. Ten years ago, the Rose Society hadn't been established, and their activities have nothing to do with me, but it's different now."

  Hearing this, Charlotte was a little surprised:

   "I didn't expect you Rose to have such a side, aren't you gangsters?"

   Sebastian laughed and said:

   "Of course it is a gangster, but gangsters have gangster rules. We have collected money, so naturally we have to provide protection."

   "Even if a beggar who can only hand in 3 copper tanas a month, as long as he pays the money and is located on the border of our Rosary Society, we will provide protection."

   "Of course, our protection is for the supernatural power. If other beggars bully him, we won't care, but if there is a supernatural power, then we will take care of it."

   "The Balrog Valaroka has been sealed. The Gorefiend Cult probably didn't plan to summon the Balrog like ten years ago. They must have another purpose."

   "In order to investigate the Gorefiend Cult and maintain order in the outer city, we have also conducted related investigations, but in the end all the clues were cut off halfway...just like this time."

   "The Blood Demon Cult is obviously more cautious than in the past, and it is difficult to find their feet."

   "Besides, we are often interfered by nobles or churches during our investigations. Every time it seems to be a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences, and it is no longer a coincidence."

   "So... I have always suspected that the Gorefiend Cult is inextricably linked with the nobles and even the church."

  Hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:

   "You mean, there are also members of the Blood Demon Sect in the nobles and churches?"

   "Not necessarily, it may also be a cooperative relationship, and it is a very deep cooperation."

   Sebastian thought for a while and said.

  After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's expression became serious:

   "Do you have any evidence?"

  Sebas thought for a while, then shook his head:

   "No, just a hunch."

   "In other words, you suspect that the attack on me by the Gorefiend Cult has something to do with the nobles or the church?"

   "You have fallen to the church on the surface, and the church has also sent protectors, so it is more likely to be a nobleman."

   "Aristocrat..."

  Charlotte was thoughtful.

   She thought for a while, and suddenly asked:

   "If I were to die now, who do you think would benefit the most?"

"a lot of."

   Sebastian said.

   "First of all, the church will definitely suffer, because the promise between you and the church cannot be realized until you inherit the territory."

   "Something happened before you inherited the territory. The duke and duke nobles can deny your proposal to the church on the grounds that you have not officially inherited the territory."

   "Of course, this also means that the relationship with the church has deteriorated, so... the mastermind behind the scenes is obviously not afraid of the deterioration of the relationship with the church, or more precisely, the relationship with the great priest is not afraid of deterioration."

   "The duke will also suffer, especially this planting is very clever, because he really has the motive to assassinate you... After all, even if you fell to the church, you didn't really inherit the territory."

"Of course, this is definitely not done by the duke. Not to mention that the target of the frame is the duke. The high priest also has the right to withdraw the sacramental blessing to Leno at any time, because this is not so legal at all, but violates the "Holy Code" side-kick…”

   "In general, the most likely to benefit are the nobles in the principality, and they are also those big nobles. Like the duke, they also have the same motive to assassinate you."

   "Once something happens to you, although the Duke's Mansion is Castel's first successor, it will definitely be interfered by the church. In the end, I am afraid that the nobles of the principality will still get the benefits, and they will be the great nobles."

   "In addition to your current status, there are six vassals and earls in the Principality of Boulder. Each of these six nobles is suspected."

  Hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:

   "I fell to the church, do they still dare to take action blatantly?"

  Sebas shook his head:

   “It may not have been in the past, but the timing is subtle now.”

   "Master, do you know that your recovery was observed by the church's sedative clock and suppressed the news?"

  Charlotte nodded:

   "Heard something."

   She heard from Nice about this.

   "So do you know why the church suppresses the news?"

  Sebas asked again.

  Charlotte replied subconsciously:

   "Of course it's because the great priest is preparing to be the officiant, and he doesn't want to make extra trouble at this juncture..."

   Speaking of this, she was slightly taken aback.

  Suddenly a light flashed in her mind, and she vaguely knew why the Gorefiend Cult left behind the holy emblem of the Thorn Rose after committing the crime...

   "So... they faked the scene, threatening the great priest with the resurrection of the evil god?"

  Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.

   "Yes, once it is exposed that the great priest suppressed the evil god's recovery, no matter how much credit he has made, his dream of the priest will not be fulfilled, because this is a matter of principle."

   Sebastian said.

   Charlotte understood right away.

  I gave the great priest a big gift.

  But a certain nobleman connected with the Blood Demon Sect, or simply a certain nobleman who is a member of the Blood Demon Sect, also holds the handle of the great priest to conceal the recovery of the evil god.

  After discovering that Charlotte had fallen to the church, the other party made a decisive move, designing a case with thorns and roses at the scene, with the purpose of warning the great priest.

   "Does anyone know about the Rose of Thorns?"

  Charlotte narrowed her eyes.

   "You have to ask your pet cat about this. Not too many people will know the news of the evil god's recovery, maybe even only a few people. The source of the Rose Society's news is that it was resold on the black market half a month ago."

  Sebas gloated and laughed.

  Charlotte:  …

   At the same time, the black cat Niss, who was panting heavily beside Quasimodo, suddenly shivered coldly.

   Please follow up! Ask for a monthly pass! Is school starting soon? Why do you feel so deserted these days QAQ
