Gospel of Blood

"Take action? Of course we have to take action. One is the mastermind behind the Flame Demon Disaster, and the other is the protector of the Dreaming Salon. Both have their eyes on Castell and me. If we don't take action... are we going to let them go?"

Charlotte said without hesitation.

"You make a good point... but, how do you plan to take action? Last night... the commotion we caused seems to have been too much."

Sebastian asked cautiously.

Clearly, although Charlotte's decisive actions last night had impressed him, Sebastian had different views on how to deal with Duke Borde and the High Priest, the secular and spiritual leaders of Borde, respectively.

Charlotte also understood his meaning from his expression.

The commotion last night was significant. Coupled with the death of the Grand Knight, it wouldn't take long for the Holy Court to send an investigation team. If anything happened to the Duke and the High Priest, it would further increase her risk of being discovered.

"Don't worry, I understand what you mean. Of course, I won't personally take action."

"Since one is seeking to address his fertility issues and secure the inheritance of his family title, while the other wishes to become the Archbishop, let their most desired things be the basis for their rightful judgment."

With that, she took out the "evidence" she had found in Count Tulip's study and handed it to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, Miss Kara has been investigating the Blood Demon Cult and the Flame Demon Disaster. Next... you should know what to do, right?"

Charlotte asked.

Sebastian's heart trembled slightly as he respectfully accepted the evidence.

"I understand..."

"However, if I remember correctly, the records of Count Tulip do not implicate the Duke. The evidence regarding the Duke, we only saw it in Miss Lottie's dreams."

Sebastian replied after a moment of thought.

Charlotte glanced at him and said.

"Do you remember how the Rose Society was reported?"

Sebastian pondered for a moment before saying.

"Are you suggesting that we can also include the Duke's crimes?"

"I understand your point, but the Duke is always very cautious. While the evidence against the High Priest is hinted at in Count Tulip's diary and can be investigated, the Duke's case may not be so straightforward."

"He's a cunning old fox. Even if there is evidence, it's likely he destroyed it long ago."

"Even if there are signs indicating he is likely the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as there is no decisive evidence, even the Holy Court's Inquisition cannot take action against a reigning Duke."

Sebastian shook his head as he analyzed the feasibility of reporting the Duke.

After speaking, he thought for a moment and added.

"However... the Duke's urgent need to change his heir suggests that his health is nearing its limit. His health issues are not a secret in Borde. Even if we don't target him, he probably doesn't have many days left to live."

Charlotte snorted softly.

"Then let him repent for his sins in the last days of his life, and die in despair and regret."

Sebastian's heart stirred.

"Do you mean...?"

"Have you met Leno?"

Charlotte suddenly asked.

"The illegitimate child of the Duke's family? Well... I've seen him a few times when he was a mercenary. He's a pretty good lad, cherishes life, loves freedom..."

"And... his relationship with Kara is quite delicate. If he hadn't been forcibly brought back to the Borde family, perhaps he would have followed Kara and joined the Demon Hunter Squad to become a Demon Hunter Knight, right?"

Sebastian thought for a moment before answering.

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"I... understand."

...

Sebastian left with the "evidence" that Charlotte had given him.

Meanwhile, Charlotte lazily stretched, standing up from her seat.

After a busy night, everything had finally settled.

The conspiracy of the Blood Demon Cult had been thwarted, and her maids had been rescued. Now, all that was left was to wait for the judging of the High Priest and the Duke.

As for now... perhaps she should take a good look at the gains from annihilating the Blood Demon Cult.

With that thought in mind, Charlotte locked the door behind her, picking up a delicate ring from the table.

This was a magic ring, also known as a spatial ring, a commonly seen magical equipment in the world of Myria. And the one in Charlotte's hand was a gift from Sebastian.

The Rose Society controlled the underground black market of Borde, so such regulated equipment was abundant. The one in Charlotte's possession had a spatial capacity of five cubic units, which was quite large for a spatial ring.

The gains from last night's annihilation of the Blood Demon Cult were inside the ring.

Following Sebastian's instructions, Charlotte activated the ring by channeling her magic power. In the next moment, her consciousness was instantly drawn to the micro-matrix on the ring, establishing a connection.

In that moment of connection, she sensed the space within the ring and felt the cursed pages she had taken from the altar.

One by one... there were a total of twenty-three pages!

When Charlotte saw the altar last night, she knew she was going to strike it rich. And now, looking at so many pages, she couldn't help but get excited once again.

The Gospel pages!

Twenty-three Gospel pages!

Each one likely represented an unknown magic or even a unique ability!

All her power stemmed from the Gospel of Blood, and with so many pages, she could offset the spent time from True Ancestor's Liberation usage!

Charlotte retrieved the Gospel pages from the ring and held them in her hand, then immersed her consciousness, communicating with the Gospel of Blood.

With her intention, the twenty-three pages radiated brilliance, transforming into streams of light, and flowing into her body.

In her consciousness, the Gospel of Blood shone brightly. The heavy book cover flipping open on its own, emitting a brilliant crimson light to welcome the return of the pages.

Page after page flowed into the Gospel, and with each page, Charlotte could clearly feel the aura of the Gospel of Blood growing stronger.

In Charlotte's perception, of the twenty-three pages, one entered the Divine Chapter, four entered the Mental Chapter, and twelve entered the Dark Chapter.

As for the remaining six, they formed three new chapters.

Two formed the Wild Chapter, three formed the Flesh and Blood Chapter, and one formed the Insight Chapter...

Thus, all seven chapters of the Gospel of Blood had taken shape, namely the Genesis Chapter, the Divine Chapter, and the five chapters corresponding to the resonance of the five major bloodlines of the Bloodborne.

At the same time, a massive amount of information flooded into Charlotte's mind.

A large number of new magic emerged on the Gospel of Blood, one for each of the five directions of bloodline resonance!

However, contrary to what Charlotte imagined, these returned pages did not represent twenty-three new magic. In fact, there were only a dozen or so spells that appeared.

Moreover, the majority were low-level magic, especially those in the new Wild, Flesh and Blood, and Insight chapters.

Only the Mental Chapter and the Dark Chapter, with the most pages, had higher-level magic.

In particular, the advanced versions of the low-level spells Charlotte had already mastered, such as the low-level majesty magic and undead resurrection, had been recorded.

Among them, the advanced versions of the low-level majesty magic are two: Mental Shock and Charm Voice, effectively refining and strengthening the majesty magic.

Although Charlotte's low-level majesty magic was effective, it was only for non-awakened individuals. For awakened individuals, the effect was actually very poor.

However, these more refined versions could target stronger awakened individuals.

As for the undead resurrection, there was stronger undead manipulation.

Undead resurrection only allowed her to revive undead and did not allow her to manipulate them. Unless divine power was used, her control over the undead was very limited. However, stronger undead manipulation could allow her to control the undead without using divine power.

However, in the Mental Chapter and the Dark Chapter, where the number of magic was fewer than the number of pages, there were higher-level magic.

As for the other chapters, almost all of the new ones that appeared were low-level magic.

And in all the chapters, there was not a single high-level magic that bypassed low-level magic and appeared out of nowhere.

This made Charlotte vaguely speculate on the relationship between the Gospel pages and the recorded magic.

These fragments... were probably not as she imagined, one page corresponding to one magic.

Except for the Genesis Chapter and the Divine Chapter, where the rules were still unclear, the pages of the other five chapters likely represented a law or the power of bloodline resonance.

And when they were collected, new magic would condense according to the intensity of the law.

As for the condensed magic, they naturally condensed from low-level to high-level.

The more pages, the easier it was to condense high-level magic!

However, one page was an exception.

That was the unique new page belonging to the Divine Chapter.
