Chapter 583 82 The Disappearing Blood Clan

Chapter 583 -82- The Disappeared Blood Clan

In the west of Catalia City, in a dilapidated underground drainage channel.

In the dim corridor, a group of black bats continued to gather and transformed into Charlotte's appearance.

"Master, you are here."

Sebastian, wearing a tuxedo, saluted respectfully.

Charlotte nodded slightly, then looked around, and what came into view was a small base similar to the underground base of the Rose Club in Boulder City.

Of course, unlike the Rose Club whose base is located in the manor, this is a hiding place in the sewer, which is even more dirty and dilapidated.

The moss growing on the ground and the thick dust on the debris indicate that this place has been in ruins for a long time.

"Where are the people?"

Charlotte retracted her gaze and asked.

This is obviously the end point of Sebastian's pursuit.

However, unlike the news conveyed by Sebastian, she did not feel the breath of others.

Sebastian's face was not very good.

He stepped aside, revealing a piece of ash behind him.

Charlotte frowned:

"Dead?"

"Yes, they were burned to death by the Holy Fire, it was... spontaneous combustion."

Sebastian said.

"Holy Fire? Do you mean that they have the restrictions left by the Holy Court in their bodies?"

Charlotte asked.

Sebastian nodded, his expression puzzled:

"Yes, when I cast magic to forcefully read their memories, the Holy Fire burned on their bodies, they... shouted praises to the Holy, and then turned into ashes."

"Your Majesty, it seems... the rumors are true, the blood clan of the Moon God Coast City-State has really been incorporated by the Holy Court, not only that, the Holy Court... I am afraid that it has begun to doubt your true identity."

Albrecht, who followed, sighed and said.

Charlotte did not comment.

She had fought with "Helios" twice. If the Holy Court had really been infiltrated by the other party, it would be normal for him to know her secrets.

However, even if the Holy Court was really infiltrated, it was probably only partially infiltrated.

Otherwise, there is no need to monitor or test her in this way.

At least... these vampires would not be sent by "Helios", because if it was "Helios", then he should know that using vampires to track her, the True Ancestor, is actually no different from sending food.

Vampires who are good at dark magic are indeed suitable for monitoring and tracking.

But the premise is that the target of tracking is not her, the True Ancestor of Blood.

"Master, this is my mistake. I should wait for you to come and deal with them personally. I was too reckless."

Sebastian sighed.

Charlotte shook her head:

"It's not your fault. After all... I didn't tell you to keep them and wait for me to deal with them personally."

After that, she gently closed her eyes, as if she fell into meditation.

"Lord Charlotte, although these vampires are dead, there must be other vampires who have surrendered to the Holy King's Court in the city of Kataria. Perhaps we can start from here and further explore their secrets!"

Nice on the side suggested.

Albrecht also nodded:

"I agree, Your Majesty, although I haven't been here for a few years, there are still several vampires I know who live in seclusion here, including a duke."

"The duke lives in an ancient castle on the outskirts of the city. He is very low-key. Except for a few vampires like me, few people know his true identity. He is not a vampire from Shedit, but a member of the Selem clan who is not so hostile to the 'Blood True Ancestor'. He also has a noble status and a good relationship with some priests. Maybe... we can ask him for information."

"Of course, if you want, we can even go a step further. With your strength and status, I think you can also take him under your command!"

Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and shook her head:

"No need, I have sensed that these guys who turned to ashes... are the only vampires in the city of Kataria."

"The only vampires? How is this possible?"

Albrecht was shocked.

His expression changed, and then he couldn't help but said:

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Do you want to go to the places where the vampires you know live in seclusion?"

Charlotte asked first.

Albrecht nodded:

"Yes, I... want to explore it."

"Let's go together, I'm also curious about what happened here."

Charlotte said.

After leaving the underground drainage, Charlotte followed Albrecht to the residences of the vampires he knew.

Or more accurately, the castle that Albrecht suggested.

It was late at night, and the dark moonlit night was very suitable for everyone to hide their breath.

Following Albrecht leaving the main city and coming to the outskirts of the city, everyone soon came to the castle where the Duke of Blood lived in seclusion.

No...

That's no longer a castle.

"How is it possible? This...this is..."

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Albrecht widened his eyes.

Nice took a step forward, cast a few flashing magics, and then retreated:

"Lord Charlotte, the retrospective magic shows that this place was destroyed... probably less than two months."

"Less than two months..."

Charlotte fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, she said:

"Sebas, Nice, Albrecht, go back later to investigate whether anything major has happened in the city of Catallia... no, the city-state of Luna Coast in the past two months."

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, why don't we... go to other places and have a look?"

Albrecht couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte glanced at him:

"Do you think it's still necessary?"

Albrecht was speechless.

Even the castle of the Blood Duke was razed to the ground, and other places where the vampires lived in seclusion... can be imagined.

The night passed quickly.

A new day came, and Charlotte received one invitation after another from the nobles of the Luna Coast city-state, including banquets, salons, and everything.

Of course, Charlotte all pushed back, citing physical discomfort and limited time.

Half a day later, the three followers also ended their investigation and came back to Charlotte.

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, the investigation is over. Two months ago, the Holy Royal Court conducted a large-scale hunt for vampires in the city-state of the Moon Coast and captured many vampires who were operating as nobles..."

"About a month and a half ago, the city of Katalia was blocked once. There was news that a battle between legendary level extraordinary people took place on the outskirts of the city, but the specific information was blocked by the Holy Royal Court."

Albrecht said seriously:

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, the Holy Royal Court has taken action."

Charlotte's expression also became solemn.

This result did not surprise her. Not only that, she could even guess that "Helios" must be behind this attack on the vampires.

Without him, two months ago, it was the time when she had not returned from another time and space, but "Helios" was driven back by her.

However, what Charlotte was a little puzzled about was how the Holy Royal Court could know so clearly the hiding place of the Vampires here.

The vampires are good at living in seclusion. In places like the Unite Peninsula where the church has a strong power, the vampires who live in seclusion will be more cautious than in other places. However, the Holy Royal Court can actually control the surrounding area in less than half a month. All the vampires were wiped out in one go, which is simply unbelievable.

From Charlotte's point of view, this is difficult to achieve even if there is an insider, it is like opening her eyes.

"Maybe... they used the power of artifacts. After all, the Holy Royal Court is the strongest church on the continent, and the artifacts it has collected over thousands of years are countless. Maybe... they have some artifacts that can be tracked. I don't know for sure. "

Ness said.

Is it an artifact that can be tracked...

Charlotte's frown deepened.

She couldn't imagine what kind of artifact had such power that it could allow the Holy Royal Court to find all the hidden vampires.

The Blood Sacred Scripture is okay, but this is the holy weapon of the Vampire Clan.

But the Holy Royal Court did it.

At least, she didn't sense any vampire auras other than theirs nearby.

Although the Holy Book of Blood was there, she was not afraid of the power of the artifact, but she also felt the atmosphere of conspiracy.

Not only that, just like the invitation to the reelection ceremony, she could feel that the conspiracy behind it... was probably also aimed at her.

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked in the direction of the Theocracy, and then closed her eyes.

She sank into consciousness, opened the Book of Blood, and at the same time summoned the sea of ​​crimson stars that represented the blood clan.

Beautiful crimson stars appeared one by one, but in Charlotte's perception, with her as the center, there was a large gap.

In the entire Luna Coast city-state... there is not a single vampire.

However, when Charlotte looked at the sea of ​​​​stars further away, she once again saw dense stars.

That was the direction of the Theocracy.

However, these stars seemed to be covered with some kind of fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

Even the blood connection between Charlotte and these stars is vague and seems to be blocked by some kind of power. Charlotte cannot even summon it into the spiritual world.

Many vampires were captured by the Holy Royal Court, imprisoned by some kind of force, and imprisoned in the Theocracy.

Charlotte quickly came to this conclusion.

After a moment of awareness, she opened her eyes.

"Master, did you...find anything?"

Sebastian asked.

Charlotte nodded and said:

"If my perception is correct, all the vampires on the Yunet Peninsula should have been captured by the Holy Royal Court and gathered in the Theocracy."

"All the vampires on the peninsula have been captured? This is impossible!"

Albrecht suddenly lost his voice.

"Nothing is impossible."

Charlotte shook her head.

"Sebas, tell the envoys that after a good rest, we will continue our journey to the Theocracy in the afternoon."

she ordered.

After saying that, she pondered for a moment and looked at a few more people:

"I'm afraid that the Holy Royal Court really has some kind of artifact that can track the vampires. I'm afraid it's related to the bloodline. For safety reasons, I will temporarily seal the bloodline power in your body during the next period of time."
