Charlotte was really curious about this question. Her family knew her own affairs, and the thorns and roses were a temporary symbol she copied when she hung it on the cross. The original pattern was a pattern on the furniture, and it was not the holy emblem of the True Ancestor of Blood at all.
Since time traveling, Charlotte has also investigated what the Holy Emblem of the True Ancestor of Blood once was, but to no avail. It seems that it was deliberately erased by the Blood Clan.
After Albrecht entered the Dark Night Castle, he did not immediately combine the thorns, roses and
"Blood True Ancestor", but regarded her as
"God of the Night". So...how did the other party regard thorns and roses as
The symbol of "Blood True Ancestor"? After hearing Charlotte's inquiry, Albrecht showed a hint of anxiety on his face.
Charlotte heard many thoughts coming from his heart
"Why does Your Majesty the True Ancestor ask that?"
"Did I answer something wrong?"
"Will she be angry and swallow me?" and other thoughts.
"Your Majesty, True Ancestor, please forgive me for my sins. I have been sleeping for too long, and my memory is a bit blurry. I did not recognize your Holy Emblem for a while, so I committed many mistakes..."
"I am really excited and happy to see you again. It is the greatest honor in my life to have the opportunity to be loyal to you again!"
"Praise you, my great True Ancestor. With your return, the blood descendants can finally be united again!" Albrecht praised with enthusiasm and piety.
Charlotte: ...a lie. It's all lies. Charlotte watched expressionlessly as this demon-blooded Duke lied in front of her, her heart unmoved, and she even wanted to laugh.
In Albrecht's enthusiastic praise, except that he really forgot what the Holy Emblem of the True Ancestor of Blood looked like, everything else was false.
This guy's true thoughts can be summed up in one sentence, that is
"The hell horned devil can bend and stretch, but save his life first." But...forgot the Holy Emblem of the True Ancestor of Blood?
Charlotte looked down at Albrecht, lost in thought. Mortals may forget, but extraordinary people have very strong memories.
Not to mention that Albrecht is the legendary Duke of Blood and the Horned Demon of Hell. How could a being of such strength forget things for no reason?
Not to mention, it is a major event that is of great importance to the blood descendants such as the Holy Emblem of the True Ancestor of Blood! But as luck would have it, this was the only thing Albrecht said was true.
He really forgot before. It wasn't until he recognized the Dark Night Castle that his memory resurfaced, but in his memory, the Holy Emblem of the True Ancestor of Blood seemed to look like a rose of thorns.
Is this...cognitive modification? Charlotte's heart moved. The use of the thorn rose as the holy symbol was certified by the Blood Scripture and was personally chosen by Charlotte.
Could it be that... the Holy Book of Blood can also change the perceptions of other beings and forcibly bind the identity of Thorn Rose to the True Ancestor of Blood?
Charlotte looked confused and had some guesses in her mind. But at the same time, she had another question. Speaking of which, shouldn’t the True Ancestor of Blood be Lilith?
Seeing Charlotte on the throne fall into silence, Albrecht became even more nervous: "Your Majesty... Your True Ancestor, do you... do you have any questions?" Charlotte put away her thoughts and looked at him. .
Looking at the rather reserved and nervous Dark Apostle, she chuckled and said, "Albrecht, you seem... to be afraid of me?" Albrecht's face was suddenly filled with a flattering smile: "Look what you said, you are the great and omnipotent ancestor, and I should maintain respect and awe in front of you!" Charlotte was noncommittal. She waved her hand gently, dispersing the crimson color in front of the throne. of fog.
The fog that blocked his vision dissipated, and Albrecht could see her appearance clearly. Charlotte is still an adult.
Albrecht's expression suddenly became blurred, and his long-standing memory became clearer and clearer, and the figure in his impression completely merged with the existence in front of him.
True Ancestor! She is really the true ancestor who has returned! Albrecht did not dare to take another look, and quickly lowered his head, his heart trembling.
It seems that perhaps the memory cognition has really been modified... Feeling what Albrecht was thinking, Charlotte was further convinced.
She calmly withdrew her gaze and looked at the other person condescendingly. Her voice was as lazy as ever: "Albrecht, loyalty is not just a casual talk. Do you think... I should trust your loyalty?" Albrecht hurriedly said He saluted with a sincere and enthusiastic expression: "Your Majesty, Albrecht's respect for you comes from the bottom of my heart! Everything about Albrecht is also under your control. As long as you have a thought, Albrecht will Being able to die, what reason and courage does Albrecht have to deceive you?" Charlotte did not comment, but tried with a half-smile: "Oh? Really? As a descendant of Abaddon, you also do the same to you. Did she take the oath?"
"Look what you said, Abaddon is Abaddon, you are you, and you are the common master of all blood descendants. He is just the Balrog who has been given power by you. He is a dirty betrayer. How can he be with you?" In comparison! Albrecht has never really been loyal to Abaddon. Albrecht just took refuge in her because of his identity as a devil. Albrecht has been waiting for your return!" After hearing this Albrecht Charlotte was a little surprised by Brecht's words.
This cowardly dark apostle was really quick to turn his face. He had followed Abaddon for thousands of years, but he didn't hesitate to scold him.
As expected of a naturally rebellious devil, even with the power of a blood descendant, his roots have not changed. However, what surprised Charlotte was that the other party's words were not all lies.
Contrasting with what she perceived to be true, Albrecht... really had never been truly loyal to the Blood Demon Archduke Abaddon.
Charlotte is a little unbelieving. She quietly used the Crimson Star Sea to explore the belief deep in the other party's mind, and then she was surprised to find that the other party was not really a believer of the Blood Demon Archduke!
This guy is actually an unbeliever! Outrageous, an unbeliever not only joined the Blood Demon Order, but also became the third Dark Apostle!
"Eh? You're not a follower of Abaddon?" Charlotte did not hide her surprise. Albrecht bowed and explained: "Returning to the true ancestor, Albrecht joined the Blood Demon Legion as a demon two thousand years ago. His strength was not given by Abaddon, but from the Blood Demon Order. The first legion commander Balov..."
"Albrecht has never been in Abaddon's sight before. It was only after she fell asleep that he was accidentally promoted to the Dark Apostle of the Blood Demon Order." Charlotte didn't know what to say. .
What the other party said turned out to be the truth. But who is Balof? A blood myth from the past?
Charlotte didn't ask further. She looked at the other party and asked another question: "In that case, what are you planning in Lutecia?" Albrecht sighed deeply, with a troubled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Great True Ancestor, do you have any plans?" What they don’t know is that Abaddon is cruel and violent, and although he is asleep, he still has a certain degree of control over the Order.”
"If I don't carry out the mission of the religious order against the Holy Royal Court, I will be severely punished!"
"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, please forgive me for my offense in the past. I really didn't know that the God of Darkness was actually you! I couldn't help but join the Blood Demon Order!" This is a lie.
The truth is that Albrecht had a premonition that myths would return one after another and the world would change drastically. He wanted to seize the last opportunity and use the power of the Blood Demon Order to lay eggs.
Doing something practical to avoid Abaddon's suspicion is just superficial. His plan in Lutecia is to infiltrate the Crescent Nobles and fight against the Holy Royal Court. The real purpose is to turn all the nobles into his forbidden blood servants and secretly develop his own power.
As for joining the Blood Demon Cult because you can't help yourself, that's even more nonsense. Albrecht's state is actually a bit like the cold protagonists in the fairy tales that Charlotte had seen in her previous life, who were all alone in upgrading and practicing their martial arts, only he was more flexible and flexible.
The Blood Demon Order is like the sect he joined. The protagonist in that kind of cool novel has never had any feelings for the sect he joined, but only uses it as a stepping stone and tool for his promotion. When he really needs to throw it away, and when he needs to run away, he throws it away and runs away.
Albrecht had ambitions in mind. Although he has always been steady, he does not mean to be content with the status quo.
He wants to take advantage of the changes in the world to go one step further and ascend to the myth. Albrecht's capital came from a statue of a god.
It was the faceless statue he found in the underground temple of Lutesia, possessing the power of the divine power of blood.
The faceless statue... Charlotte's heart moved slightly, causing waves. No wonder the idol in the underground temple is a fake. It turns out that the real one is here with Albrecht!
Charlotte glanced at the other party calmly. She didn't expose the other person. No matter how timid a person is, if they are really pushed into a hurry, they will fight tooth and nail.
In the voice she read, the Faceless God was Albrecht's deepest trump card and the bottom line.
For this reason, he is willing to keep going, even if he is working as a cow or a horse for others. He just hopes to find further opportunities and one day be able to turn around.
Of course, Charlotte couldn't turn over a rebel who could rebel at any time. Even if she already has the intention of turning the other party into a tool.
Now that she knew that the other party had a similar statue in his hand, she naturally wanted to take it back. Of course, how to recover it is a technical issue.
Thinking of this, Charlotte chuckled, and her lazy voice became serious: "Albrecht, I can give you a chance to be loyal and no longer pursue your past or your offenses. "Albrecht's eyes lit up, and his expression suddenly became excited.
"But..." Charlotte changed the topic and her expression became cold: "You wantonly created taboo blood servants and destroyed the stability of the blood class. You must be punished!" Albrecht's heart tightened and he asked anxiously. He said: "My true... True Ancestor, how do you plan to punish me?" Charlotte glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Since you like to create taboo blood servants so much, then... you should try it yourself. It tastes like a blood servant." Albrecht's eyes widened: "You...you want me to be your blood servant?!"
"What, you don't want to?" Charlotte's eyes turned cold. Feeling the suppressed bloodline, Albrecht's scalp suddenly became numb.
His brain was running rapidly, and he said eloquently: "Really... Your Majesty the True Ancestor, you also said that the forbidden blood servants will destroy the stability of the blood descendant level..." Charlotte chuckled, and her voice became colder: "Albrecht, tell the truth."
"I don't really care about your allegiance, but I hate betrayal. I don't trust you, even if it's just what you say..."
"You're interesting, and I'm willing to listen to you more, but that doesn't mean I'm patient."
"You have too much demonic nature. You are more like a demon than a blood servant. If you are not willing to become a blood servant, forget it. What I need more than a lying duke is enough blood power." After saying that, Charlotte gently opened the Blood Sacred Book, and at the same time mobilized [True Ancestor Liberation], looking as if she was planning to take action to seize the power of blood.
Feeling the great change in her aura, Albrecht's expression changed and he quickly shouted: "Yes! Albrecht is willing!"
"My great True Ancestor, it is a supreme honor to become your blood servant. Albrecht is willing to accept your punishment!" Charlotte looked at Albrecht who was sweating profusely and gave up again in an instant. Te smiled.
She removed the divine power of blood, and with a flash of light in her hand, she condensed a ball of light symbolizing the blood servant contract: "In that case, let's sign the contract." As she said that, she pushed lightly, and the ball of light formed. Flying towards Albrecht.
Albrecht's expression changed. He looked at the blood-red light group and struggled in his heart, but in the end he gritted his teeth and took it into his soul dejectedly.
That's all...the hell horned devil can bend and stretch, three hundred years to the east of the river, three hundred years to the west of the river! As long as he keeps his life, as long as he keeps that trump card, as long as he is given enough time and a certain opportunity... he can always find a chance to escape.
Now, let’s bow our heads first! Albrecht gave up resistance and chose to surrender. However, deep down in my heart, I made a good note of what happened today.
He is steady, but also vindictive. In history, those dark apostles who died, were exiled or sealed under the siege of the Holy Royal Court. Anyone who offended him had more or less his influence behind them.
The light flashed, and Albrecht felt that his soul had some shackles. Suppressing the helplessness and hatred in his heart, he took a deep breath, put on a respectful and submissive expression, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the great ancestor, now... you should trust Albrecht, right?" Charlotte nodded slightly. , with a satisfied expression: "Not bad, quite obedient, a good dog." Albrecht: ...Looking at Albrecht who smiled reluctantly, Charlotte felt even more happy.
She stretched out her hand, looked at the other person, and said playfully: "Okay, now... you can hand over the hidden statue." After hearing this, Albrecht's smile suddenly solidified on his face. .
