Tome of Blood

"Is she here?"

"Here we come! Already here!"

"Where is where?"

"It's right in the middle hall! Let's pray together with Lord Raoul!"

"Go! Go and have a look!"

Boulder Mission Hospital, in the hallway outside the ancillary church.

The crowd was surging, bustling, and believers in different costumes rushed to tell each other, rushing towards the central hall of the church like a tide.

Among them, there are trainee priests from the church hospital, some residents living nearby, and some young nobles who come here with their entourage.

This spectacle surprised the passers-by who did not know the truth:

"What happened? Why did so many people gather?"

"Yes, shouldn't the church here be very deserted on weekdays?"

"Is there any activity in the church hospital today?"

"It's Miss Charlotte!"

The residents who were pulled said excitedly.

He pointed to the central hall not far away, and continued:

"She is worshiping in the church! It has been three days in a row!"

"Miss Charlotte? Why does this name sound familiar?"

"Of course it sounds familiar, she is the young lady of the Castel family!"

"Castel? Is that Castel? A few days ago, the family was ruined, but the little beauty who fascinated the duke's illegitimate child just by seeing him once?"

"That's right! It's her!"

Everyone's eyes lit up:

"Go! Go and have a look!"

Watching the excitement is always the joy of ordinary people, especially the joy of watching nobles.

As if it was going viral, passers-by got excited and quickly joined the crowd.

However, in the center of the vortex, in the nave of the church attached to the church hospital, there was a sacred and solemn scene.

The ethereal chants cleanse the hearts of the people, and the holy light shines on the lobby.

Priest Raoul was dressed in a white robe.

He held the scepter in one hand and the scripture in the other, solemnly explaining the teachings of the holy royal court.

The holy light shone on him, making him look like a living messenger of the gods.

Bright, holy, stalwart...

However, as a preacher, he was not the focus of the audience.

Under the teaching platform, a beautiful girl is wearing a holy white long dress, with her hands folded and placed on her chest.

She knelt on the ground with her eyes lightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her porcelain-like delicate face was full of peace and sanctity.

Under the light of the holy light, the long golden hair was like shimmering silk, scattered naturally on the ground.

Shining photons shrouded in divine magic danced around her, like dancing elves.

Angel……

She is an angel who fell into the mortal world!

This is the only thought of all those who witnessed this scene.

Those believers who listened to the church in the middle hall became more devout, and looked at the girl and priest with admiration and fanaticism.

And those happy people who came to watch the legendary beautiful noble girl also involuntarily fell silent.

They were afraid of disturbing the maiden who was praying.

They are afraid of destroying such a sacred and picturesque, holy and beautiful picture.

They are ashamed of themselves, and they feel that any disrespectful salute to the girl at this moment is like a blasphemy against the gods...

The attracted freelance painters watched all this excitedly, and couldn't wait to unfold the drawing board on the spot, wanting to paint this holy scene.

"Our Lord in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."

The old priest solemnly finished the last prayer, and gently put down the scripture.

He stretched out his hand on his chest and devoutly drew a circle cross:

"Praise the Holy!"

"Praise the Holy!"

The believers also drew holy emblems on their chests and praised in unison.

The hymn stopped, and the radiance of divine magic that shrouded the central hall was also removed by the priests.

Today's worship is over.

Priest Raoul greeted the believers slightly, and then left the church with the girl who got up.

The middle hall continued to be quiet for a while, and the solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The people watching outside the door let out a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, seeing admiration and shock in each other's eyes.

"So beautiful...she is really beautiful... no wonder so many people like it!"

"God Lord! Is she the daughter of a god?"

"As expected of the beauty of the Castel family..."

"She is still the heir to the title! If anyone can pursue her, he can also get the wealth of the Castel family!"

"Don't be delusional, even ordinary aristocrats are not worthy of the Castel family!"

"But didn't the Castel family suffer? I heard that she is the only one left?"

"It's so pitiful... isn't she underage?"

"Hey, even if someone's family is in trouble, the price of a meal on weekdays is your salary for a year."

"Yes, I heard that even the bed and toilet in the Castel family are made of gold!"

"..."

...

"Hehe, little Charlotte, how did you consider my proposal before?"

"Becoming a priest does not mean giving up the right to inherit the territory, as long as you don't hold a real position in the church. There are also many noble priests in the church."

In the corridor of the mission hospital, Dean Raoul walked side by side with Charlotte, with a kind smile on his old face:

"Seriously speaking, I really appreciate you more and more. You are really suitable to be a priest, no... Maybe you can even become a saint of the gods in the future!"

"Did you find out? With you here, there are many more believers who came to the church to worship these days, and even the priests worked harder."

"How is it? Little Charlotte, are you willing to join the divine religion?"

Charlotte smiled sweetly.

She skillfully drew a circle cross on her chest, and did not answer directly:

"Grandpa Raoul, I'll think about it again."

Dean Raoul nodded slightly, expressing his understanding:

"Sorry, I was a little anxious, you must have some other concerns."

"However, what I'm saying is the truth. You have a high affinity with the divine power. It's not common to be surrounded by radiance every time you worship."

"Look, even the power of the gods likes you very much, and they are scrambling to bless you!"

Of course, they all wanted to purify me, but I finally persuaded them to change their minds...

Charlotte was smiling and puffed up her chest slightly, like a proud kitten:

"Of course, I am a devout holy believer!"

"I am very honored and very happy to be able to personally participate in the service hosted by you!"

She is really happy.

The second-tier priest is worthy of being a second-tier priest.

Today's week, she gathered more wool through the magic ceremony than the previous few days combined!

Dean Raoul nodded slightly, also smiling.

He had no doubts about the girl's piety.

"Has the wound completely healed?"

"Thanks to you and all the priests, he has recovered without leaving a trace of scar."

"No, it's all because you are a devout and holy believer, an existence favored by our Lord."

The old priest shook his head gently.

"Officially discharged tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Unfortunately, I need to go to the cathedral to meet His Excellency the High Priest tomorrow, so I can't see you off in person."

"Don't be so troublesome, Sister Lottie has already notified the family for me, and there will be servants from the family to pick me up."

"But Castel Manor... Oh, yes, the Castel family still has some shops in the city, and there are still normal people there."

"Um……"

When it came to the Castel family, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

After a while, Raoul sighed and patted Charlotte on the shoulder:

"Little Charlotte."

"Um……"

"Recently I've heard some bad rumors... After being discharged from the hospital, if you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, please send someone to come to me. I'm still a little thin-skinned in the god religion, and the great priest can tell me Say something."

Charlotte paused slightly.

She raised her head slowly, and what she saw was the old priest's pure eyes full of firm will and love.

With a hint of warmth in her heart, Charlotte nodded slightly:

"Thank you, Grandpa Raoul."

This time, she didn't use the usual cute tone.

The old priest smiled.

I laughed very happily.

"Okay, let's enjoy the tranquility of the mission hospital again! I've blocked many visits from nobles for you in the past few days, um...you don't seem to like dealing with them very much."

"However, after leaving the hospital, I can't help you!"

After speaking, Raoul gently rubbed the girl's hair on top of her head, laughed and left.

Watching the other party leave, Charlotte sighed softly.

Although the old priest had selfish intentions to lure her into the religion, he was really doing her best.

This made her somewhat feel guilty about cheating the other party.

Of course, this trace of guilt just disappeared in a flash.

After all, surviving in another world is her top priority now.

Back in her ward, Charlotte closed the door.

There are several layers of thick books on the bookcase beside the bed, all of which she borrowed from the church in the past few days.

She has been in the hospital for six days.

On the third day, her wound had healed.

In the spare time of the past few days, in addition to trying to get the wool of the church, Charlotte is either reading a book or testing her current physical condition.

She quietly took the object test.

Although this body is only fifteen years old, the energy contained in it may easily knock down three strong men.

Whether it is speed, strength, or endurance, they are all very strong.

Ordinary people are no match for her at all.

And if night falls, her physical fitness in all aspects will rise to a higher level, directly doubled!

However, correspondingly, she does have some obvious weaknesses.

Bloodlines are indeed bloodlines.

Through these days of observation and experimentation, she found that she was indeed afraid of the sun, just like the legend.

It's okay to stay in the room, and it's okay to shine like candlelight.

But if she is exposed to the sun, her skin will experience obvious burning pain.

In short time nothing can be seen.

But if you stay longer, the skin will gradually become red and blistered, and the body temperature will rise sharply.

Charlotte didn't dare to stay too long.

She estimated that if she stayed longer, her life might be in danger.

Although she wasn't sure if the protection mechanism of the "Book of Blood" would be triggered at that time, but now that she was in the church, it was better not to gamble.

Not only that, but Charlotte also feels extremely tired in direct sunlight.

The quality of all aspects of the body will decline significantly, almost weakening by 50%.

But other than that, things like garlic, silverware, and crosses didn't pose any threat to her.

Except magic.

The divine arts of the Holy Royal Court restrained her very strongly.

The good thing is that she has the magical countermeasures of the "Sacred Code of Blood" that can deceive her, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

Just can't bask in the sun anymore.

But everything is not absolute.

As the vanguard against the "blood-born monsters", the church hospital's books also contain many records against the blood-born.

And some books mentioned that some powerful vampires can ignore the sunlight, and some vampires with special bloodline talents can also walk freely under the sunlight.

In other words, if Charlotte can continue to improve her strength, there will be a day when Charlotte can stand in the sun again.

In addition, Charlotte also has a certain understanding of the extraordinary power system in the world of Miria.

The extraordinary division of this world is not as complicated as the many novels she read in her previous life.

On the contrary, it is quite simple and rude.

In this world, there are four levels of extraordinary power.

From weak to strong, they are Fanxing Tier 1, Silver Moon Tier 2, Blazing Sun Tier 3, and Legendary Tier 4.

Below the first level of stars, there is a special stage between mortal and extraordinary, generally known as the apprentice level, attendant level, apprentice level or zero level.

This refers to the existence of those who have mastered extraordinary power, but the power is not enough to completely surpass the limits of mortals, or not enough to trigger "magic" and "miracle" alone.

Like Charlotte now.

And as for the legend above the fourth level, it is the domain of gods that mortals cannot touch.

The realm of the gods is for mythology.

That is the existence that mortals look up to.

Myths are all gods, but they can be subdivided into demigods and true gods.

For example, the old hag's sacrifice object, the blood demon grand duke, is a demigod, and one of the evil gods officially certified by the holy royal court.

These materials were read by Charlotte from church books.

It's a shame, because she clearly has the supreme artifact of the blood race, the Holy Code of Blood, in her hands, but the artifact is too mutilated, and she has to find a lot of knowledge in the church.

Fortunately, after the past few days of plucking the wool, the charging of the call of blood has finally been completed.

Charlotte planned to try it after leaving the church and returning to the manor tomorrow.

Sitting on the bed again, Charlotte felt a little thirsty.

She poured herself a glass of water and planned to read for a while.

However, after drinking water, the thirst did not decrease, but became stronger.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

Her "blood addiction" seems to be committed...

I’m going to test the waters today, and the PK promotion competition is about to start. Now that the light novel channel is rolling up to the sky, it’s very difficult for the original to break out of the tight encirclement. It’s up to everyone’s votes and follow-ups to make it through a few rounds!
