Huge memories flooded into her mind, and Charlotte's vision suddenly shattered.

No, brokenness is not vision.

In reality, she has her eyes closed.

What is broken is actually her perception.

After a flash of light, Charlotte came to a magnificent world.

To be more precise, it is a dream world.

She found herself standing in a long floating corridor, surrounded by darkness and countless broken lenses floating on both sides.

Each fragment exudes a faint halo, like a slide show, playing one independent picture after another.

Some are bright, emitting soft light, quiet and peaceful.

Some of them are radiant with blood and have cold breath, which makes people feel strong discomfort just by looking at them.

Charlotte chose the one closest to her.

The next moment, her vision changed and she saw a cute little girl, giggling, sitting in a dilapidated house celebrating her birthday with her plainly dressed parents.

The food on the simple wooden table was not rich, just some simple black bread and a small piece of dry cheese cake that had been there for an unknown period of time.

However, looking at the girl's innocent and bright smile, looking at the doting eyes and soft eyes of her father and mother, one can truly feel the small and easily satisfied happiness of a family of three.

But the next moment, the screen was engulfed in flames.

Amidst the shrill cries, the girl's parents fell into a pool of blood. The blood demon cultists in black robes grabbed the girl's hair and roughly stuffed her into a cloth bag...

The screen continued to flicker. Charlotte saw the girl being imprisoned, saw the girl being auctioned in the Drunk Dream Salon, and saw the confusion and horror on the girl's face...

She saw the girl being violated, saw the Blood Demon cultists chasing the girl after the Drunken Dream Salon, and saw the girl slowly dying in pain and fear.

Charlotte quickly retreated from the memory fragments, and the immersive despair and pain made her feel cold.

After a little perception, she judged that it only took a moment for her to browse the memory.

Although she saw a lot of pictures, the huge amount of memory information actually poured into her consciousness in an instant.

After hesitating for a moment, Charlotte looked at the next memory fragment...

The field of view changed, and a new girl appeared on the screen.

This is another girl's memory.

It is still the beauty of happiness.

However, the plain happiness was soon swallowed up by blood and despair again.

Charlotte once again saw the appearance of the Blood Demon Cultists, saw them abducting the girl, and saw the desperate cries as they used the girl as a sacrifice and pushed her down the abyss of death...

Charlotte soon exits Memento again.

Her mood became heavier and heavier.

Looking at the countless fragments around her, she knew that each of these fragments represented a girl in distress.

The memories here are the most profound memories in their short lives.

Happy memories, fearful memories...

Painful memories, desperate memories...

Even if they die, their memories remain as remnants of their souls.

Charlotte didn't dare to watch anymore.

The immersive feeling of despair chilled her heart and made her soul tremble.

But she knew she had to keep watching.

The secrets of the Blood Demon Order are probably hidden in these memory fragments.

She continued to look towards the next fragment...

One after another……

Charlotte didn't know how many memory fragments she had seen.

She only knew that she saw happy families broken up one after another, and innocent girls swallowed up by despair one after another...

She saw the evil and ferocity of the Blood Demon Order, and she saw the depravity and darkness of the nobles.

Watching, watching, she felt like she was almost going numb.

All that was left in her heart was disgust and anger towards the Blood Demon Order and the fallen nobles.

After looking at countless memories, Charlotte suddenly froze and stopped in front of one of the memory fragments.

In this memory fragment, she actually saw an acquaintance.

The chief captain of the Bold Demon Hunting Station, Kara!

However, this is not a fragment of Kara's memory.

This is for a little girl.

The little girl was very similar to Kara, and Kara in the memory fragments had no scars on her face.

Not only that, Kara in Memento is quite young.

She looked to be at least eighteen or nineteen years old.

It was a beautiful memory of a pair of sisters.

As mercenaries, the older sister takes the younger, cute sister.

They depend on each other and live happily. Although they are not rich, they are warm and happy.

The beginning of memory is still plain and beautiful.

But when the gangsters show up, everything changes.

She saw the girl being taken away and saw Kara being seriously injured.

Seeing the ferocious scars on the face of this female knight, she awakened her extraordinary power in despair, but could only watch her sister being taken away.

Um?

Gangster?

etc……

Not a Blood Demon Cultist?

Charlotte was stunned.

The subsequent development of memory images is even more different.

Charlotte did not see Drunken Dream Salon.

Instead, there was fire.

A raging fire.

She heard countless vague voices praying and chanting.

She heard someone praising the abyss and darkness, and heard someone praising depravity and decay.

She heard fanatical voices shouting the title of the Blood Demon Archduke!

She saw the girl in the cell and more girls hugging each other, fearfully looking through the window at the tall figure burning with flames in the night outside...

The ferocious goat head, the blazing flames, the deafening roar!

That is a terrifying Balrog!

Charlotte understood instantly.

This memory fragment is even older, from ten years ago!

What she sees now is the scene of the Fire Demon disaster ten years ago!

This little girl who is suspected to be Carla's sister was not snatched away by Zuimeng Salon in the past few years, but was kidnapped by Count Broglie ten years ago!

After realizing this, doubts quickly came to Charlotte's mind...

etc.

If she remembered correctly, the Balrog ritual originated from Count Broglie ten years ago.

According to records, all the underage girls abducted during the Fire Demon Disaster eventually died in sacrifices.

As for the Drunken Dream Salon, it gradually appeared after the Fire Demon Disaster.

But here is the bottom of Drunken Dream Salon...

If Kara's sister had been kidnapped ten years ago, how could her memory fragments appear here, in the ritual sacrifice place of Drunken Dream Salon?

wrong.

In her memory, the girl saw the Balrog.

This shows that she was not dead at that time.

Not only that, the girls held in that cell were not dead.

So...what happened next?

Charlotte was filled with doubts.

But soon, her doubts were answered.

With an angry roar, the Balrog disappeared in a bright light.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark cell was smashed open with a roar.

The dazzling light comes, penetrating the darkness of despair and bringing reassuring warmth.

A figure wearing a holy white robe appeared in the girl's field of vision.

That was an old priest.

His expression was full of exhaustion.

After seeing the girls in the cell, he was slightly startled.

Then soon, he showed a kind smile.

I saw him reaching out his hand and gently touching the little head of the girl closest to him.

The old and gentle voice slowly sounded in the girl's ears:

"Children, you are saved."

His smile was extremely kind and gentle.

It's so soft, even a little false, that it makes people shudder.

That priest was none other than someone else.

It was the highest cleric in the Principality of Bold, High Priest Linus.

I am too sleepy. I have been thinking a lot about how to proceed with the subsequent plot. This chapter is written much slower than I thought... There will be no third update tonight. I will continue to add more tomorrow! _(:з ∠)_
