Gospel of Blood

Chapter 105: They Are Pawns

"Bloodborne Archduke Abaddon? They want to summon that Evil God into this world?!"

Sebastian widened his eyes.

Then, he frowned.

"Is the High Priest out of his mind? How could he collaborate with such a lunatic?"

"No, perhaps he doesn't even know the true intentions of the Blood Demon Cult. He might just know that Count Tulip has dealings with them, serving merely as the Dreaming Salon's protector."

Charlotte shook her head slightly.

In her last glimpses of memory, although the High Priest's figure frequently appeared, he was at most disguised and participated in the Dreaming Salon. The High Priest's communication was limited to Count Tulip, Anthony.

In the fragments of memory, this highest-ranking clergy in Borde had gradually become a collaborator after being recruited by Anthony. Count Tulip probably held a lot of leverage over him.

As for what the Blood Demon Cult was really up to, the High Priest was probably clueless. Otherwise... the arrival of an Evil God would be enough to bring disaster upon the entire Borde Duchy, or even the entire Crescent Kingdom.

Perhaps the first to be purified by the Holy Court would be this freakish traitor.

"Master, we must stop them! We must prevent the incarnation of the Bloodborne Archduke from descending! If the Bloodborne Archduke discovers your resurrection, it will probably add to the difficulty of your return!"

Sebastian said solemnly.

Surprised by the fiery reaction of the Flame Elf, Charlotte felt a bit amazed. Although she also felt that the descent of the Bloodborne Archduke must be prevented, she didn't expect Sebastian to be even more eager than her.

Seemingly noticing the unexpected expression of the girl, Sebastian hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"Master, your past memories... probably haven't been restored yet, right?"

Charlotte:...

What past memories?!

She subconsciously wanted to retort, but quickly realized what Sebastian meant.

She knew that Sebastian regarded her as a resurrected True Ancestor.

Nice had once said that many resurrected Gods had their memories sealed during the resurrection phase. Resurrected Gods often didn't even know who they were until their powers gradually recovered, and they began to regain their memories.

Clearly, what Sebastian meant was that he also regarded her as such an existence.

Although Charlotte, who possessed memories of her previous life, felt that she was not the so-called resurrected True Ancestor, but merely a lucky transmigrator who obtained the authority of the Gospel of Blood after being recognized as its owner.

But at this moment, she couldn't explain it.

Could she really reveal her true identity, telling him that she was a transmigrator who got the authority of the highest-ranked Bloodborne artifact and gained similar powers to a God?

Clearly, on the basis of assuming that she was a resurrected God, any of her actions could be regarded as her memories not having recovered yet...

Since she couldn't explain it clearly, Charlotte didn't bother to explain it.

On the contrary, going along with this assumption, perhaps it could make many of her actions more reasonable.

After thinking about it, she apologized to the possibly sleeping or already deceased True Ancestor in her heart and then said.

"I haven't inherited other memories. What do you want to express?"

Sebastian showed an expression of 'as expected,' and then said solemnly.

"Master, perhaps you don't know. In the long years of your absence, there has been internal strife within the Bloodborne race, with each noble harboring their own ambitions... This is well known within the extraordinary circle."

"Various signs indicate that even your disappearance... may be related to the nobility of the Bloodborne."

"I have never heard of any Bloodborne noble wanting to awaken their great ancestor. Throughout the long years, the nobles may have already gotten used to the days without you."

"Forgive me for my presumption, but they... are likely no longer your descendants, but your enemies."

"Master, the power of a True God exceeds the imagination of mortals, and every action has its own meaning."

"After you were resurrected, you have never sought support from the Blood Demon Cult but chose to confront them. I believe... besides the conflict between your vessel body identity and the Blood Demon Cult, it's also likely because you subconsciously consider them your enemies."

Charlotte:...

Although she felt that what Sebastian said had nothing to do with the facts, damn, it seemed to explain why she, as the 'True Ancestor of the Bloodborne', didn't return to the Bloodborne society to perform the ritual of the True God's return after her resurrection...

It's just as well thought.

This could save her a lot of trouble.

"Master, please give your orders. As your retainer, Sebastian will do everything possible to thwart the Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy and follow you back to the Divine Throne!"

Sebastian said respectfully.

Seeing his initially solemn but soon eager appearance, Charlotte felt quite strange.

Why did it seem like this guy was quite interested in preventing the descent of a mythological figure?

Charlotte's feeling was right.

Sebastian was indeed very interested.

No, it's not just interest anymore, it's excitement.

Sebastian bowed respectfully, but his heart was filled with anticipation.

Myth!

This was a myth that wanted to descend into the world!

If he could prevent the descent of a myth, even if he had to follow the Lady of the Night to do it, it would still be quite an exciting experience!

Moreover, as the ruler of Borde's underground world, he felt that he also had an obligation to stop the Blood Demon Cult's crazy idea.

"Master, do we destroy the ritual layout here now and stop the Blood Demon Cult's plan?"

Sebastian asked expectantly.

Listening to his words, Charlotte recalled the various scenes she had seen in the fragments of her memory and looked at the coffin on the altar.

After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head and said.

"This place is not the true venue for the God Summoning Ritual. This is just a place for sacrificial offerings to accumulate dark energy and despair."

"The place is only a cover location. The true location is probably elsewhere."

"And... they're probably almost ready."

With that said, she looked at the blood servants who had followed and a golden light flashed in her pupils.

"Tell me, where is your true ritual venue?"

This time, she didn't hold back and increased the output of her blood power. At this moment, knowing the secret of the Blood Demon Cult, it didn't matter whether she alarmed the High Priest or not.

No... it should be said that if she really alarmed the other party, it would be a good thing. If she could lure the other party over, it would be even better than the possible descent of a God. As long as Charlotte didn't feel the need to use True Ancestor's Liberation.

However, this time, the blood servants did not tremble, but just shook their heads blankly.

"Pardon, I... don't know."

Charlotte's expression instantly became serious.

No resistance. Means they probably really didn't know.

After pondering for a moment, Charlotte realized it instantly.

These blood servants... are just insignificant pawns.

Sebastian also quickly realized what Charlotte was doing and what she meant.

Looking at the blood servants around him with hollow eyes, his expression gradually became serious, shaking his head.

"Master, they have probably been abandoned. We can't find out the true venue of the ritual from these blood servants."

Charlotte nodded slightly.

After a moment of contemplation, she said.

"Then, we only have one person to ask..."

"Perhaps he can provide some clues."

With that said, she squinted her eyes and looked up.

"If everything follows the usual procedure, counting the time... he should be coming down soon."
