The crimson mist slowly dissipated, and the surrounding scene gradually became clearer.
Albrecht found himself still in the cemetery outside Lutecia.
He trembled, and quickly extended his perception, and then found that his spiritual sense was finally no longer restricted, but returned to the normal legendary range.
"It seems like we are back to reality."
Albrecht breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that the God of Dark Night would be the True Ancestor. I didn't expect that she would also come to Lutecia! The faceless statue... Could it be that this is what she came for?"
"Is this why I was targeted by her?"
"It's really unlucky. I thought it would be a way to go further, but I didn't expect that it would attract her attention..."
[In view of the general environment,
"No, I should be more cautious. When I first noticed that the divine power in the statue was close to the original power of the vampire, I should have realized that there would be today's risk."
"In the final analysis, I was still too imprudent."
Albrecht sighed slightly, looking regretful.
However, the deal is already done and he can no longer change the status quo.
Sighing, Albrecht sank into consciousness.
I saw a crimson holy symbol spinning in the depths of my soul.
The holy emblem was composed of thorns and roses, exuding a dense brilliance and integrating with the origin of his soul. Whenever his mood changed, the holy emblem would flash, as if it was constantly monitoring his every move. generally.
That is the soul mark of the blood servant.
Feeling the noble aura revealed in the mark, Albrecht's expression changed.
In the end, he sighed resignedly:
"Blood servants will be blood servants. At least... they were not devoured. At least I am still alive..."
"The resurgent Shinhwa needs the most strength, but she didn't devour me. This shows that I still have a greater role for her."
"In that case, just be obedient for now and complete her mission honestly. As long as I show enough value, at least... it should be safe for now."
"There isn't much time left on Holy Advent Day. By then, she probably won't have that much energy and thought to pay attention to my little legend..."
"First complete the mission while healing. When that time comes, we can find a way to regain our freedom."
Albrecht soon had a plan.
The plan of finding a place to sleep could not be carried out. Although he was very reluctant, he knew that the most important thing he should do now was to be obedient and complete the tasks assigned by that person.
Of course, this does not mean that he has completely given up his freedom and ambition.
The most important thing for vampires is time.
Although the True Ancestor of Blood has a transcendent status and powerful strength, he also has too many old enemies.
He believed in himself that as long as he could bear it, he would always find an opportunity.
And as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely get back everything that was taken away from him with interest!
Thinking of this, a sharp edge flashed in Albrecht's scarlet hole.
However, at this moment, the holy symbol in his mind suddenly lit up, and power like electricity instantly flowed through his soul and body.
He groaned and quickly stopped his disrespectful thoughts towards the True Ancestor of Blood. He buried the hostility in his heart deeply and replaced it with a look of awe.
Dissatisfaction and hostility were replaced by respect, and the sting that penetrated into the soul gradually disappeared.
Albrecht covered up the haze deep in the boy's hole, then sighed softly and stopped investigating the blood servant's mark.
He spread his demon wings and prepared to leave here.
However, just before he left, he suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction suspiciously.
That is the direction of the entrance to the cemetery. There is a dead oak tree with black trees standing on it.
crow.
Albrecht glanced at the crows and frowned slightly.
He pondered for a moment and released a majestic technique in that direction, and then saw the crows falling off the branches one after another and falling to the ground shivering.
"Illusion?"
Glancing at the crow on the ground, Albrecht said to himself.
He closed his eyes and stopped paying attention. Instead, he hid his aura and flew in another direction.
After Albrecht's figure completely disappeared, the void next to the dead oak tree suddenly became distorted.
The black mist suddenly filled the air, and then quickly condensed, finally transforming into a blond girl wearing a black Gothic dress.
It was Charlotte.
She glanced at the direction Albrecht left and sighed:
"As expected of a legend, his perception is very sharp, and he was almost discovered."
A legend is a legend, even if he is seriously injured, his strength is by no means comparable to that of Chiyang.
Although there is double suppression by the [Devil Contract] and the Bloodline, this place is not far from Lutecia after all, so it is better not to start a fight if possible.
Pulling the opponent into the spiritual world and directly suppressing it at a higher level is the best way to deal with it.
As for that rebellious thing...Charlotte is not that worried.
As long as the blood servant taboo is maintained and the opponent is monitored well, even if Albrecht jumps again, it will be difficult to get out of trouble.
The only thing that needs to be careful is probably to prevent the other party from bypassing the constraints of the contract and digging a hole for her.
For example, when providing intelligence, deliberately underreporting or underreporting, such as deliberate inducement.
And that requires Charlotte to personally screen it. After all, no matter how strict the contract is, it is not perfect.
After letting out a breath, Charlotte's figure quickly disintegrated and turned into countless flying bats, flying towards the distance.
…
Albrecht managed to escape, but Lutecia's alarm was not lifted.
Not only that, the entire city has become more heavily guarded, and even the magic defense system covering the entire city has been deployed.
The six mage towers arranged in the shape of six-pointed stars all over the city were lit up one after another, and their aqua-blue light was extremely eye-catching in the night.
Not only that, even the cathedral's area-wide magic also illuminated the sky, adding another layer of dense brilliance on top of the spell shield.
As for the streets, there were even more patrolling guards, and almost all the Demon Hunter Knights and Judgment Knights were dispatched.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
When Charlotte returned to the manor, it was already more than ten minutes later.
The capital was heavily guarded, and she couldn't use too much conspicuous power. In order to get around the guards and knights patrolling the streets, she had no choice but to spend a little more time.
The flying bats gathered on the balcony on the second floor of the manor, and finally transformed into the girl again.
Not long after sensing Charlotte's aura, Sebastian rushed over with a look of anxiety.
It wasn't until he saw Charlotte's unharmed appearance that he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Master... you are finally back. If you don't come back, Sebas will have to look for you."
Charlotte raised an eyebrow:
"What happened again?"
Sebastian shook his head at first, but hesitated for a moment, nodded again, and said with worry:
"Master, while you are away, I have specifically inquired about the information and have received accurate information. The battle in the sky just now was the church's fight against the dark apostle of the Blood Demon Order, and it is suspected that it was the third apostle Albrecht."
"Not only that, the two legendary priests of the church, the Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter, did not go to the Northland, but are still hiding in Lutecia. The legends that the church just took action also include them!"
"In addition, it is said that the church plans to activate the artifact Eternal Sun to further investigate the entire city..."
look
Looking at Sebastian's worried look, Charlotte suddenly realized that she had not had time to tell him what she had experienced in the church, and she did not know that she had already dealt with the three legends of the church.
This elf steward may not have been frightened by the news from the church. After all, the Grand Inquisitor is a legend who has a record of killing gods. In his perception, although he is a "god", he has just recovered and gained strength. Didn't recover much either.
She didn't explain much to Sebastian when she left, and now she was at the headquarters of the Holy King's Crescent Parish. Whenever the church made big moves, and she didn't return, she naturally became more and more anxious.
"Don't worry, the church won't be able to find us, and...I have already met several legends of the church."
Charlotte said.
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian's eyes widened:
"You...you have already fought against them?"
Well……
When in church, does that kind of temptation and counter-temptation count as fighting?
Charlotte was lost in thought.
She thought about it and felt that it wasn't wrong, so she nodded slightly:
"That's right."
Seeing Charlotte's indifferent expression, Sebastian opened his mouth slightly.
His expression was first surprised, then happy, and then a little curious.
However, his curiosity was quickly suppressed by him. He bowed respectfully and said in awe:
"Great Master, I was too worried. I should have known better. You never do anything you are not prepared for!"
Charlotte glanced at him, guessing that this guy was probably thinking again.
She didn't ask any further questions, but muttered:
"In the next few days, keep a low profile. The church will probably further pursue the Blood Demon Order throughout the city to avoid harming Chi Yu."
Sebastian looked serious and said solemnly:
"Great Master, Sebastian obeys your orders."
As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Master, as for the Blood Demon Order, should we take advantage of this opportunity..."
"No, Albrecht is already mine, there is no need to do anything more."
Charlotte glanced at him and said.
Sebastian was stunned and his eyes widened again.
