Charlotte knows that this guy Nice has many secrets.
However, looking at the other party's overall obedient attitude after being contracted as a blood servant, Charlotte has not delved into anything. After all, no one in this world has a secret, and even she herself has many things that she does not want others to know. s things.
But at this moment, looking at the guilty look on a certain black cat's face, looking at his appearance, Charlotte still turned dark.
After all, hiding something and not telling it are two different things from hiding too many things and not knowing which one to tell.
Charlotte looked at Nice quietly, with a half-smiling expression:
"Oh? It sounds like you're hiding too many things from me?"
"Tell me, what are you hiding?"
Nice felt more and more guilty.
"Hey, Lady Charlotte, look at what you said, how could Nice be hiding anything..."
Nice defended subconsciously, but looking at Charlotte's calm and deep eyes, he finally swallowed his words and said calmly:
"Well, maybe... um... there are one or two things, because various force majeures were not reported to you..."
"Oh? One or two?"
"Um...um...maybe three or four?"
Nice's eyes wandered.
Charlotte:…
She squinted at the black cat with its eyes rolling around in front of her, and her smile gradually faded.
Noticing the change in Charlotte's expression, Nice became even more uneasy:
"A little bit! A little bit! Lady Charlotte, the things that Nice has hidden from you are really only a little bit!"
"Then tell me what your 'little' concealment is."
Charlotte said calmly.
"That... beautiful, dignified, powerful and kind Lady Charlotte, if Nice confesses, will you... be magnanimous and forgive Nice?"
A certain black cat said in a cute and watery voice while holding Charlotte's calf and rocking it.
Seeing Nice, who was eating balls, trying to be cute with an uncle-like voice, Charlotte shuddered, and felt that it was quite annoying.
She quickly pulled her legs out of Nice's arms and said with a look of disgust:
"Okay, stop being cute. If you keep acting cute for a while, I will have nightmares when I sleep tonight. Tell me honestly. If you have a correct attitude, I won't punish you."
"Huh? Really? You really won't punish me?"
Nice immediately perked up.
Charlotte:…
This fat cat...in addition to the faceless statue mentioned in Albrecht's memory, could he be hiding something else too outrageous?
She squinted at the black cat and said meaningfully:
"It depends on your performance."
Seeing Charlotte's attitude of not wanting to leave today if she doesn't confess, Nice sighed:
"Okay, nice confession..."
As it spoke, it quietly glanced at Charlotte's expression and carefully tested:
"Um... Nice shouldn't peek at the maids taking a shower, or sneak into the maid dressing room in the Earl's Palace?"
Charlotte:…
Was this guy... really a legend?
She looked at Nice speechlessly, not knowing how to evaluate him for a moment.
"anything else?"
Charlotte asked with a straight face.
Nice swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes wandering and said:
"Ahem... um... Nice shouldn't secretly hide the maids' underwear, nor should she use magic to disguise herself as other cats and rub into the maids' arms..."
Charlotte:…
Should she say that this guy has some self-awareness and knows that his reputation as a lecher has spread among the maids, or should she say that this guy is too tasteless?
But when she asked Niss, she didn't want to hear Niss talk about his perverted history.
"anything else?"
Charlotte continued.
Ness glanced at her cautiously, laughed dryly, and said in a more guilty and quiet voice:
"Well... Nice shouldn't secretly collect your changes of clothes, let alone secretly hide the stockings you wear..."
"Click..."
The teacup in Charlotte's hand shattered.
never mind.
Destroy it.
This guy should just cramp, peel off the bones, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs.
Looking at Charlotte's face that darkened instantly, Nice quickly shouted:
"Change it! Change it! Nice has changed it! That was what Nice did a long time ago! Nice has stopped doing it a long time ago! He has changed his mind!"
Charlotte took a deep breath and silently said "Don't be angry, don't be angry" in her heart, but her eyes were so cold that she wanted to kill someone.
However, her mind was still calm. Ness, the perverted cat, was obviously using these perverted things to divert her attention. Things she really wanted to know, such as the Faceless God, were not mentioned at all.
It was obvious that this guy did it on purpose and still wanted to fool her.
But she was also really angry.
No wonder some clothes seemed to be "damaged" more frequently when she first arrived in the territory. It turned out that it was all this guy's fault!
This is the most genius legendary mage in human history... This is a legendary pervert!
It seems that it is still too idle. I have to find something to do for it in the future to lose weight!
Charlotte glanced at Nice coldly and decided to take good care of a certain perverted cat so that it would not be idle every day.
"That's not what I'm asking about."
She calmed down and said coldly.
As she spoke, Charlotte gave Nice a meaningful look:
"About the Ancient Temple and the Faceless God, don't you have anything to tell me?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, Niss suddenly froze.
It smiled coquettishly:
"Lord Charlotte, Nice didn't quite understand what you meant, Nice..."
It didn't finish what it wanted to say to fool the past.
Because she felt Charlotte's gradually rising pressure, and the imprint of the servant contract that gradually lit up deep in her soul.
"It seems that my attitude towards you is still too gentle. I'd better ask your soul directly."
Charlotte sighed and said.
Feeling the rhythm of the contract, Nissi suddenly became frightened and shouted quickly:
"Say! I'll tell you! Lady Charlotte! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything!"
"Then tell me what you know about the Ancient Temple and the Faceless God Statue, and then tell you about their whereabouts."
Charlotte said.
The ancient temple and the faceless statue are both things left by the True Ancestor of Blood in history. However, even within the Blood Clan, there are different opinions on the purpose of the True Ancestor of Blood establishing the temple and the statue.
Albrecht's memory mentioned many opinions within the Vampire Clan, but no matter what the views were, the Vampire Clan's approach to the discovered temples and statues was consistent.
That is, the temple must be destroyed or the gods enshrined must be replaced, and the idols must be sealed or dedicated to their respective princes and princes.
In short... it is to erase all traces of the True Ancestor of Blood.
Relatively speaking, regarding the ancient temples and faceless statues, the overall attitude within the Vampire Clan is to destroy and seal them rather than conduct in-depth research.
However, in Albrecht's memory, Nicholas, the legendary mage in human history, was very interested in these things, and even took a statue with him when he disappeared.
"The ancient temple and the faceless statue... aren't those things you built? You should know more about this kind of thing involving the power of myth than I do, right?"
Ness said.
Charlotte shook her head:
"I don't know what happened in history, and I don't know what the use of these things is at the moment."
"That is to say... you have lost all the memories related to your own mythical power, and you have not recovered together..."
Ness murmured.
Charlotte didn't know how to answer this. Maybe she had always firmly believed that she was just a bird occupying a dove's nest, and as a time traveler, she relied on the "Blood Scripture" to disguise herself as the True Ancestor of Blood, but After having the "Second Time Travel", watching "Song of the Blood Moon", and knowing more about the history, she was a little unsure about some things.
Amnesia cannot be called amnesia. She is not a returning god. In Charlotte's opinion, it is more likely to be a reversal of cause and effect.
Of course, there is no need to talk about these to outsiders. After all, she cannot confirm the speculation of the second time travel, unless she travels through history again when she is promoted to Blazing Sun.
As for Nice...just misunderstand it.
"It seems that it's not easy to be a god. Even retrieving one's past is troublesome."
Ness muttered.
"So, what do you know?"
Charlotte asked.
Nice thought for a while and said:
"About the ancient temple and the faceless statue, I actually know very little, but... one thing I am sure of is that although the blood descendants regard it as a back-up for your return, according to my research, in the past You build temples and statues of gods, but this should not be your purpose."
"Of course, there is divine power in the idol after all, and its properties are special enough. In a sense, it can indeed help you restore your strength, but this should not be the main purpose."
"According to my research...the main purpose of the Ancient Temple and the Faceless God Statue is more like building a giant magic circle that covers the entire world."
"A giant magic circle covering the world?"
Charlotte looked surprised.
"Yes, and it is a magic circle that integrates magic power collection and protection. If my judgment is correct, its ultimate goal should be to concentrate all the magic power of Miria."
Ness said.
Good guy...
Absorbed all the magic power of the entire world?
Charlotte's eyelids twitched wildly.
"so……"
Niss paused, glanced at Charlotte, considered his words and said:
"In my opinion, the Ancient Temple and the Faceless God Statue are more like your... well, the True Ancestor of Blood in the past, in order to rule Miria forever, in order to go one step further and become an existence beyond the gods. "
An attempt to rule forever, to become a being beyond the gods...
Charlotte mused.
This corresponds to some of the descriptions in "Song of the Blood Moon". At least in the poem, the True Ancestor of Blood "devours" the sun in order to go one step further.
But Charlotte also feels that this kind of thing is not something she can do. She feels that she is quite Buddhist and is relatively easy to be content. If there are no external threats, she can even remain a salted fish.
"You said that you think the ancient temples scattered around the world are actually huge magic circles. So... have you found the evidence?"
Charlotte asked.
Nice instantly became proud:
"Meow! It's more than just evidence! Nice even successfully restored part of the formation configuration, and even accurately deduced the location of some ancient temples. Three of the ancient temples that have emerged now were excavated by Nice. !”
"Of course, Nice is not a true myth. It is almost the limit to reach this point. The best we can do is to know how many buildings there are left and their possible locations."
Charlotte's heart moved, and her eyes lit up:
"Oh? So...how many temples have you deduced? Where are the unexcavated ones most likely to be?"
For other vampires, the faceless statue is a medium that can summon gods, but for Charlotte, it is equivalent to a "power bank" that replenishes divine power.
Not only that, she can even gradually perfect her godly persona with the help of the faceless statue.
In other words, in addition to growing her power and developing believers, searching for the Ancient Temple and the Faceless God Statue is also a powerful way for Charlotte to improve her strength before the arrival of Holy Advent.
"A total of... there should be thirty-six of them, but twenty-two have been discovered. Of the remaining fourteen, one should be in the Roman Principality, and I can't tell the specific location; and the other fourteen According to the formation configuration I simulated, three should be located on the Luna Coast, East Unite and Coria, and three should be in the Sun Empire further east; as for the other ones, according to calculations, there are three The first one should be in the sea, and the fourth one should be further west. Based on the location, I think it is probably located on the legendary lost old continent."
Nice thought.
Good guy...
Is this inference accurate enough?
Charlotte smacked her tongue slightly.
Although it is only an approximate location, once you know the approximate location, you will have the direction.
but……
The old continent...
Charlotte recalled the broken continent overseas she "saw" when she looked down at Miria when she returned from her "second time travel".
If her guess is correct, maybe it is the legendary hometown of elves, which was destroyed in the Old World three thousand years ago.
The True Ancestor of Blood is really capable of running, and even went to the Old Continent to build a temple!
Of course, the Old Continent is too far away, and others such as the Sun Empire, Coria, and East Yunet are not close either.
It was the Roman Principality mentioned by Nice that aroused Charlotte's interest.
"Is there an undiscovered statue of a god in the Roman Principality?"
she asked, squinting.
"If the spell model is correct, it should be."
Ness said.
Charlotte nodded slightly.
This may be an opportunity and an attempt.
If nothing unexpected happens, after helping the Ness clan regain Falling Star, she can become the master of the Roman Principality.
By then, maybe we can find out where this temple is hidden.
"Lord Charlotte, do you...do you have anything else to ask?"
Looking at Charlotte who was deep in thought, Nice asked cautiously.
Charlotte glanced at it.
Nice guy knows a lot of things, but if you don't ask, he really won't tell.
"There is one more thing. Not to mention the statues of gods that have been acquired by various forces, do you... have a statue of a god here?"
Charlotte asked after sizing up the black cat.
Nice's face stiffened.
It struggled for a while and said calmly:
"Um...Ms. Charlotte, there was indeed a statue here in Nice, but...it has been used by Nice."
"used?"
Charlotte was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean by using it? Can you also absorb the divine power of blood?"
She said strangely.
"Well...that's not possible. I only used the statue itself. As for the divine power in it, I made it into a scroll of divine curses and used it up."
Nice said politely.
Charlotte became even more curious:
"What did you do with the idol?"
Nice scratched his head:
"I made a body out of idols, the one you see..."
Charlotte:…
