The experience in the library's outer hall was just an episode.
Under the leadership of the library director, Charlotte quickly entered the restricted area of the library.
Of course, it is said to be a restricted area only for ordinary nobles. For those truly great nobles and geniuses with extraordinary extraordinary talents, this place can still be entered.
It's not so much a restricted area as it is a VIP area.
"Lord Earl, this is the inner area of the Royal Library. There are a total of 50,000 books in the collection. It contains all kinds of extraordinary materials collected by the kingdom, including some rare meditation methods and magic books. In addition, there are many uncirculated books on the market. Precious illustrations, extraordinary secrets and historical materials.”
"Depending on the pass you have, you can freely browse the collection of books here. However, if you want to take them out or perform magic engraving, you need to take out books of a corresponding level and exchange them with the library."
The library director said respectfully.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
She had also heard about the regulations of the Royal Library. In fact, the Royal Library, which had been destroyed time and time again due to wars in history, not only did not disappear, but instead had more and more books in it, because of these regulations.
The nobles attach great importance to their own extraordinary knowledge and control it tightly. Only the Royal Library has such confidence, and the nobles are also happy to have a place where they can exchange knowledge.
Especially every time a royal war is won, or a certain noble family is deprived of its title, the popularity of the royal library often rises for a while, because the nobles all know that the library's collection of books often increases at this time.
Of course, Charlotte knew that the royal family would definitely keep those truly high-end knowledge and secrets away.
However, she came here just to try her luck, to supplement Castel's collection of books, and to enhance her own foundation.
The Crescent Royal Family will even use the Royal Library, a treasure trove of rich information, to unite the nobility. As a "god" trying to preach, Charlotte can also use this to unite "believers".
"In addition, although I know that you probably don't know how to do it, as the curator, I have to remind you not to use any magic here, especially spiritual, space and elemental magic."
"The Royal Library has a strict monitoring circle. If it is used, it will be detected and you will lose the qualification to enter the library forever."
"In the past, anyone who tried to perform magic in the Royal Library, even the Duke's heir, would eventually be severely punished."
The library director looked solemn again and said.
This is to prevent someone from stealing extraordinary knowledge or causing damage in the library.
Spiritual magic can temporarily strengthen memory, or directly engrave knowledge, and space magic can even directly transport books. As for elemental magic... most of them are very destructive magic, so naturally they can all do it. Use is prohibited.
"Your Excellency, Curator, thank you for the reminder."
Charlotte said with a smile.
The curator also smiled and said:
"Then... Sir Earl, I will withdraw. What type of information are you looking for? Just ask the costumed dolls in the museum. I hope you can find the knowledge you need in the museum."
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"Thanks."
The curator bowed politely and then withdrew.
Charlotte looked around and soon saw a human-shaped alchemy puppet next to her.
"Your Excellency, I am Jupiter, the administrator of the restricted area of the Royal Library. I will serve you wholeheartedly."
The alchemy puppet bowed stiffly and made a mechanical sound.
Looking at the alchemy puppet, Charlotte was very surprised. It should be the product of research by some archmages or even legendary mages. It can also be regarded as some kind of magical alchemical life.
"Thanks, I'd like to see the historic district."
Charlotte said.
"The historical area is on the 2nd shelf of the third spiral column. Which category do you want to see specifically? Jupiter can continue to locate it for you."
Charlotte shook her head:
"No, I'll just take a look."
After saying that, Charlotte came to the bookshelf pointed out by the alchemy puppet.
The Royal Library is indeed known as the library with the largest collection of books and the richest materials in the Crescent Kingdom.
After arriving at the target bookshelf, Charlotte found a lot of precious historical materials.
Especially the history of the Crescent Kingdom, and even the period when the Blood Demon Cult subverted the kingdom, has been recorded in detail in many books.
The Blood Demon Cult's subversion of the Crescent Kingdom began 750 years ago, fifty years after the founding of the Crescent Kingdom, and they secretly ruled the Crescent Kingdom for two hundred years.
It is recorded in the book that its original origin was the founder of the Valva family who established the Crescent Kingdom. In his later years, he was deceived by a blood descendant who infiltrated the palace and took control of the court.
That period was described in the classics as a dark period for the kingdom, until two hundred years later, with the help of the Holy Court, the royal family overthrew the Blood Court of the Bloodborn.
After that, the Blood Demon Order also made attempts to subvert it again and again, but in the end they were all defeated one by one, until today.
After browsing some related classics, Charlotte had a better understanding of the Crescent Nobles' hostility and wariness against the vampires.
Of course, history is written by the victors, and these materials are for reference only and should not be relied upon.
What made Charlotte feel a little disappointed, but at the same time what she expected, was that the restricted area of the library was blank regarding historical materials from earlier periods, especially the Blood Moon Era.
Although somewhat expected, Charlotte will inevitably feel a little disappointed when she actually gets nothing.
However, just when Charlotte gave up browsing history and planned to read books about the extraordinary side, a book that looked quite dated came into her eyes.
It was a book called "Song of the Blood Moon."
The classification of this book is not history or mythology, but art poetry.
Charlotte opened it curiously and found that it turned out to be a book of poems that sung the legend of blood descendants.
"Singing poems about blood descendants? Shouldn't this be classified as mythology? Why is it an artistic creation?"
Charlotte became increasingly curious.
The text in the book is quite ancient. With more than a year of knowledge of ancient Chinese that she has learned through mental magic, Charlotte can browse it fairly smoothly.
This poem tells the story of the rise and fall of the Bloodborn. The ambitious True Ancestor of Blood defeated the gods and unified the continent for the first time. However, in the end, in order to become stronger, he went astray and went completely crazy. , a story of self-destruction.
Of course, if it were just these, there would be no problem in classifying this poem as a myth.
But the problem is that this book also mentions Harald, the Creator God.
In the poem, Harald, the God of Creation, is described as the follower and successor of the True Ancestor of Blood. He is the blood descendant who has understood the power of creation, and is also the ancestor of the royal blood descendants. He is also the true ancestor who will fall into madness. Zu defeated the existence.
The poem even describes the first meeting between the True Ancestor of Blood and Harald. The True Ancestor of Blood taught the story of the awakening of the bloodline of the young Harald, who was still a mortal.
When Charlotte saw this, she was stunned.
Except for the fact that Lilith is not mentioned in this poem, the description of the first meeting between the True Ancestor of Blood and Harald and the imparting of extraordinary knowledge is exactly the same as her experience during the "second time travel"!
Even what she said to Harald was exactly the same!
"Followers of the True Ancestor of Blood, the source of royal blood descendants..."
Charlotte's eyelids twitched wildly, and her heart surged.
If ordinary people see this, they will think that this book is complete nonsense and a blasphemy against the Holy Royal Court. It is perfectly normal to classify it as an artistic creation. It is even okay to destroy it as a book of heresy.
It is a miracle that it can be preserved.
But after reading the story about the True Ancestor and the Divine Lord sung in the book, Charlotte had a feeling that the descriptions in this book... were probably true.
"Could it be that...my second time-travel was true? The Harald I met was really the God Lord Harald? And I traveled to the past and became the True Ancestor of Blood in history?"
Charlotte's heart raced.
This was a bold guess she had made.
She was very sure that the "traveling dream" was not a spectator, but a personal experience. At the same time, her actions in the "dream" also came from her heart.
This rules out the possibility of "memory implantation."
Looking at it now, her original conjecture is more and more likely to be reality. Whether it is a "dream" or "time travel", it is very likely that she... has really intersected with history, and may even be the true ancestor of blood in history!
However, Charlotte also deepened some doubts, that is, why Lilith was not mentioned. Not only was she not mentioned in the poem, in fact, Lilith was not even in Albrecht's memory.
The only information that has information about Lilith is the title page of the Book of Blood and Charlotte's experience after her second time travel.
Not only that, Charlotte has some worries.
That is, if she is really the true ancestor of blood in history, according to the various sayings of the blood descendants, and according to the description in "Song of the Blood Moon", won't she lose her mind and fall into madness in the future?
This made Charlotte feel uneasy.
But in any case, Charlotte has gained something. Perhaps when she "travels" next time, she can explore the truth of history more deeply.
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte closed "Song of the Blood Moon."
This book was an unexpected gain. Just "Song of the Blood Moon" made her trip worthwhile.
"Lord Earl, do you like this book? Does it need to be magically engraved? If so, please provide a commensurate art book that is not in the collection in exchange for it."
The alchemy puppet said.
Charlotte glanced at it and shook her head:
"It's okay, no need."
She had no intention of bartering with the library.
However, that doesn't mean she doesn't plan to take "Song of the Blood Moon" with her.
In fact, she wants all the books in the library!
Knowledge is power. As a newcomer who has become a monk on the way, even if the knowledge here is not top-notch in the world, it is enough for Charlotte to lay a solid foundation for her own power and meet the basic needs of believers.
"I'll go around by myself. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."
Charlotte said to the alchemy puppet.
The alchemy puppet nodded and respectfully left.
Charlotte raised her head and looked at the entire library.
Through the keen sense of the vampire, she could vaguely detect the monitoring magic that enveloped the entire library. The intensity of this monitoring magic was so great that even if she tried to test it with a trace of mental power, she could sense that it was about to move. Reaction.
This is definitely a blazing sun level or even legendary level magic circle.
There is no doubt that even if Charlotte wants to cast spiritual vampire magic under the magic circle, she will definitely be discovered.
But alas, Charlotte has more than just magic.
Taking a breath, Charlotte closed her eyes.
And when she opened her eyes again, her pupils were already stained with a layer of red gold.
Obscure energy fluctuations spread around Charlotte, covering the entire library.
That's not magic.
But divine power.
Thanks to the Crescent Royal Family, although they have arranged an exquisite magic circle to prevent the library's books from being stolen, unfortunately, the magic circle only protects against magic, not divine power.
Due to the delicate relationship with the church, there are no priests staying in the library, and there are no magical spells, which gives Charlotte the possibility of taking advantage of the loopholes.
Divine power is a higher level of energy than magic, and can also be used to perform magic. Although this use is very extravagant and wasteful, it makes Charlotte currently have abundant divine power.
And magic performed with divine power is no longer magic, but... divine magic!
The divine power of blood circulated, and Charlotte released the blood magic of the spiritual path [Spiritual Rubbing].
This is a magic specially used by the Vampires to rub books. It can forcibly memorize and store the knowledge in the books.
Obscure divine power fluctuations enveloped the entire library, covering every treasured book.
"Rubbing..."
Charlotte thought silently in her heart.
The next moment, crimson light lit up in her spiritual world, and the library recording Albrecht's memory suddenly opened, and bookshelves appeared out of thin air in the empty area, and on the bookshelves, books turned around one after another. Reality emerges slowly.
After a while, the number of new bookshelves exceeded the number of Albrecht's memories. The entire memory library expanded rapidly, and the number of books in the collection also soared...
After a long time, Charlotte let out a breath and ended the magic.
She looked slightly tired, but her eyes were shining.
And deep in her consciousness, all the collections of the Wang Family Library had been imprinted, and hundreds of thousands of books were suddenly added to the Memory Library.
The New Moon Royal Family has accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, and all of it is now at her advantage.
"Your Excellency, have you not found the book you are looking for? Tell Jupiter what you need, and Jupiter can help you find it together."
The voice of the alchemy puppet came from afar.
Charlotte suppressed the joy in her heart.
She picked up a book and said:
"I've found it. Please help me see what knowledge I need to exchange for rubbing this book."
Come on, come on, let’s do the whole show.
"Your Excellency, the book you are holding is a treasure about bloodline secrets collected by the royal family. It is an essay by the legendary mage Nicholas. The content is quite bold, curious and precious. If you want to exchange it, you must also use equal secrets. knowledge in exchange.”
Charlotte:…
Why is it Nicholas again?
Moreover, what the hell is being bold and curious?
But... the secret technique of blood?
It seems that she only knows about this thing from blood descendants, but blood descendants are taboo, so they definitely can’t take it out...
"It's a pity that our Castel family has no relevant knowledge."
Charlotte shook her head and said regretfully.
She didn't really want to exchange, it was just a show.
After saying that, Charlotte put down the book and left the library with regret.
…
"Oh, did Count Castel go to the library to look for the secret of blood?"
In the palace, Louis V listened thoughtfully to the report of the royal knights.
"Which one is it?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, this is "Essay on Bloodline Awakening: Desire", written by Nicholas."
Louis V looked surprised and murmured:
"Is it that one? It seems that she is really bold. No wonder she has to take a vow of celibacy..."
After pondering for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said:
"There is no need to exchange knowledge. Use magic to make a rubbing and give it to her. Bloodline Awakening... It seems that she has been promoted too fast in the past two years, and her bloodline power is a bit unstable. In addition, tell her tactfully that this This method of stimulating blood vessels with lust is not mainstream, and it can easily cause damage to the body, especially women."
"If she wants to try it, the royal family can provide some well-trained male servants, as well as some necessary tools and medicine..."
"Your will be obeyed."
…
The next day.
Charlotte, who had packed up and saluted and was about to leave the royal capital, looked confused when she looked at the books sent by the royal knights and the row of handsome and well-behaved male servants behind her.
