Chapter 54 54 The Blood Clan Class and the Blood Demon Cult

Chapter 54 -54- The Blood Clan Class and the Blood Demon Cult

"Great Master, I have interrogated them clearly. Those two blood clans were going after you."

"Their purpose is to assassinate you and then put the blame on the Duke."

Sebastian said solemnly.

"Assassinate me? Put the blame on the Duke?"

The goblet in Charlotte's hand paused slightly.

"Yes."

Sebastian nodded respectfully.

"Who gave them the order?"

Charlotte gradually became serious and continued to ask.

Sebastian's expression was a little embarrassed.

Charlotte understood instantly:

"Dead?"

Sebastian sighed:

"Yes, they are dead."

"When I was about to continue interrogating the culprit behind them, they died, died of the burning of the blood of the blood clan, and even their souls were not left..."

"They are not only blood clans, but also blood servants, slaves of higher-level blood clans, with a contract in their bodies that will kill them if they violate it! They are forbidden blood servants of the dark clan!"

Forbidden blood servants...

Charlotte was thoughtful.

After possessing the "Blood Canon", she also understood some of the titles and ranks of the blood clan.

The blood clan rank forest can be divided into seven levels from bottom to top:

Blood Servant, Blood Baron, Blood Viscount, Blood Earl, Blood Marquis or Duke, Blood Grand Duke or Prince, and True Ancestor.

They correspond to non-ranked extraordinary people, first-level stars, second-level silver moon, third-level blazing sun, fourth-level legend, as well as demigods and true gods.

Among them, the titles of marquis and duke, as well as the titles of grand duke or prince, are completely determined by the identity and position of the blood clan, and their status in the blood clan, and they belong to the same level in terms of strength.

In addition to the seven levels, there is a special level, called blood servants.

Blood servants usually refer to those who are embraced by the blood clan but are not fully endowed with their blood clan power.

They are generally just non-ranked extraordinary people with some blood clan power, and are not recognized as fellow blood clan members by the blood clan.

The biggest difference between them and the lowest-level blood servants is that they cannot embrace others for the first time.

Every blood servant has signed the most demanding blood contract with his "master", which is as strict as the servant's final oath of the God of Contract. The master can end the life of the blood servant at any time within a certain distance.

They are the most basic slaves of the blood clan.

But there is an exception.

That is, some blood clans will apply the contract originally applied to blood servants to other blood clans, turning other low-level blood clans into their slaves.

Or in other words, they simply directly raise the power of blood servants to the level of blood clans.

So, slaves with blood clan power appeared.

They are called forbidden blood servants.

Charlotte learned from the scriptures of the church that this practice is also prohibited among blood clans.

Because in the eyes of most blood clans, this behavior that leads to class chaos is a great insult to the noble blood clan, and it also carries a huge hidden danger to the social stability of the blood clan.

Most blood clan clans are firmly opposed to this and strictly prohibit it.

Except for one clan.

The Dark Clan - Shedit.

The one who ruled the Dark Clan was Charlotte's "old acquaintance", the Blood Demon Grand Duke Abaddon.

It was obvious that the Blood Demon Cult had set its sights on Charlotte and wanted her dead.

Charlotte was not particularly surprised by this, after all, the crazy old witch had already wanted her dead once, and the old woman was a member of the Blood Demon Cult.

However, the old woman was sacrificing for her bloodline. She had held the cursed pages for a long time, and her mind might not be so clear, or her actions might be completely contrary to the Blood Demon Cult.

But now that the Blood Demon Cult has taken action again, it at least shows that the Blood Demon Cult does not want Charlotte to live.

Then the question is, what good will her death do to the Blood Demon Cult?

And... why would the other party blame the Duke?

After thinking for a while, Charlotte asked:

"I heard that the Rose Society and the Blood Demon Cult had a deal. How much do you know about the Blood Demon Cult?"

Sebastian thought for a while and answered respectfully:

"The Blood Demon Cult is an underground secret cult that believes in the Blood Demon Grand Duke. It has been active in the West Yunite area, especially the Crescent Kingdom."

"Their core members are almost all vampires, and they also absorb some humans as peripheral members. They are also the blood clan cult that has subverted the Crescent Kingdom in history."

"The blood clan is called the blood demon in the Crescent Kingdom because of them."

"Oh, by the way, great master, these lunatics also like to collect cursed pages. I think you should be very interested in them too."

The remaining pages of the holy book...

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

I have to say that she did become interested.

Seeing the girl getting more and more serious, Sebastian continued:

"Legend has it that the Blood Demon Cult is active for only one purpose, and that is to find a way to make the Blood Demon Grand Duke descend to the world."

"The Fire Demon Disaster ten years ago was a disaster planned by the Blood Demon Cult."

"It is said that they bewitched Count Broglie at the time, with the goal of summoning the Fire Demon Valarroka under the Blood Demon Grand Duke, and then let the Blood Demon Grand Duke use the body of the Fire Demon Valarroka as a holy body and descend to the incarnation of the gods!"

"Of course, they failed in the end, and even the Fire Demon Valarroka that had descended halfway was sealed."

"But in the past six months, the number of missing persons and murder cases in Boulder has increased sharply, especially in the outer city. There are almost all vampires behind them, and traces of shadow magic and necromancy magic are very common..."

"So, we have always suspected that the Blood Demon Cult is starting to make moves again."

"That's why we make deals with beings who may be members of the Blood Demon Order."

"Of course, to be more precise, it is a deal with the vampires of the Dark Clan, because we are not sure which vampire is a member of the Blood Demon Order."

"You know, even if they are from the same clan, it does not mean that they will be loyal to their prince, let alone join the corresponding religious order."

"Speaking of it, in fact, what we do with the blood clan of the Dark Clan is just some ordinary intelligence business or serious goods trading, and our real purpose is to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Blood Demon Cult and figure out their Purpose."

"After all... in a sense, they are also enemies of the Rose Society."

Charlotte was a little surprised:

"Enemies of the Rose Society?"

"That's right."

Sebastian nodded and continued:

"The Rose Society is the underground master of Boulder, and maintaining the underground order in Boulder is one of the responsibilities of the Rose Society."

"We won't care about vendettas or duels, nor will we care about battles between extraordinary beings. But if someone extends his tentacles from the darkness to the light and uses extraordinary power to harm innocent civilians, Then we will take care of it.”

"Obviously, the Blood Demon Order has crossed the line. The Rose Society was not established ten years ago, and their activities have nothing to do with me, but it is different now."

Hearing this, Charlotte was a little surprised:

"I didn't expect you Rose would have such a side. Aren't you gangsters?"

Sebastian chuckled and said:

"Of course it's a gang, but gangs have gang rules. After we collect money, we naturally have to provide protection."

"Even if it's a beggar who can only hand over three copper tanas per month, as long as he pays the money and is located on the territory of our Rose Society, we will provide protection."

"Of course, our protection is for extraordinary powers. If other beggars bully him, we will not care. But if extraordinary powers take action, then we will take care of it."

"The Fire Demon Valaroca has been sealed. The Blood Demon Order probably does not intend to summon the Fire Demon like they did ten years ago. They must have other purposes."

"In order to investigate the Blood Demon Cult and maintain order in the outer city, we have also conducted relevant investigations, but in the end all the clues were cut off midway... just like this time."

"The Blood Demon Order is obviously much more cautious than in the past, and it is difficult to find their clues."

"In addition, we are often interfered by nobles or churches during our investigations. Every time it seems to be a coincidence, but if there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence."

"So... I have always suspected that the Blood Demon Order is inextricably linked to the nobility and even the church."

After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:

"What you mean is that there are also members of the Blood Demon Order among the nobles and the church?"

"Not necessarily, it may be a cooperative relationship, and it is a very deep cooperation."

Sebastian thought for a moment and said.

After hearing what Sebastian said, Charlotte looked solemn:

"Do you have any evidence?"

Sebastian thought for a while and shook his head:

"No, just intuition."

"In other words, you suspect that the Blood Demon Order's attack on me is related to the nobles or the church?"

"You have openly turned to the church, and the church has also sent a protector, so it is more likely to be a noble."

"A noble..."

Charlotte mused.

She thought for a while and suddenly asked:

"If I died now, who do you think would benefit most?"

"a lot of."

Sebastian said.

"First of all, the church will definitely suffer because the commitment you made to the church cannot be realized until you inherit the territory."

"Something happened before you inherited the territory. The Duke and the nobles of the duchy can completely deny your proposal to the church on the grounds that you have not officially inherited the territory."

"Of course, this also means that the relationship with the church has deteriorated, so...the mastermind behind the scenes is obviously not afraid of the deterioration of the relationship with the church, or to be more precise, is not afraid of the deterioration of the relationship with the high priest."

"The Duke will also suffer a loss, especially since the framing this time is very clever, because he really has the motive to assassinate you... After all, even if you turned to the church, you did not really inherit the territory."

"Of course, this is definitely not done by the Duke. Not to mention that the framed target is the Duke, the high priest also has the right to withdraw the sacramental blessing from Lenno at any time, because this is not so legal, but violates the "Sacred Code" A borderline ball..."

"To sum up, the ones who are most likely to benefit are the nobles in the principality, and they are also the big nobles. Like the Duke, they also have the same motive to assassinate you."

"Once something happens to you, even though the Duke is the first successor to Castel, he will definitely be interfered by the church. In the end, I am afraid that the nobles of the duchy will still get the benefits, and they will be the great nobles."

"Except for your current status, there are six vassal counts in the Principality of Bold. Each of these six nobles is suspected."

After hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat:

"I have turned to the church, but they still dare to take action blatantly?"

Sebastian shook his head:

"Maybe not in the past, but the timing is very delicate now."

"Master, do you know that your resurrection was observed by the church's God-suppressing Bell and the news was suppressed?"

Charlotte nodded:

"I have heard about it."

She heard about this from Nice.

"Then do you know why the church suppressed the news?"

Sebastian asked again.

Charlotte answered subconsciously:

"Of course it is because the high priest is preparing to take the position of the chief priest, and he does not want to cause trouble at this critical juncture..."

Speaking of this, she was slightly startled.

A light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she vaguely knew why the Blood Demon Cult left the holy emblem of the thorn rose after committing the crime...

"So...they forged the scene and used the resurrection of the evil god to threaten the high priest?"

Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, once the high priest suppressed the resurrection of the evil god and it was exposed, no matter how great his contribution was, he would not be able to dream of becoming the chief priest, because this is a matter of principle."

Sebastian said.

Charlotte understood immediately.

I gave the high priest a great gift.

But a nobleman who was connected to the Blood Demon Cult, or a nobleman who was a member of the Blood Demon Cult, also held the evidence that the high priest concealed the revival of the evil god.

After discovering that Charlotte had turned to the church, the other party took decisive action and designed a case with thorn roses at the scene, with the purpose of warning the high priest.

"Who knows about the thorn rose?"

Charlotte narrowed her eyes.

"You have to ask your pet cat about this. Not many people know about the revival of the evil god, and there may even be only a few people. The source of the rose club's information is that it resold it to the black market half a month ago."

Sebastian laughed gloatingly.

Charlotte: ...

At the same time, the black cat Nice, who was sitting next to Quasimodo and panting, suddenly shuddered coldly.
