MTL - Tome of Blood-Chapter 5 -5- Codex of Blood
Chapter 5-5-The Holy Code of Blood
Lottie left after feeding Charlotte lunch.
As a priest of a church hospital, she has always been very busy.
Charlotte is the only one left in the ward.
But her keen perception told her that there was a demon hunter standing at the door outside the ward.
That powerful aura was much greater than the pressure her grandmother put on her last night.
Obviously, although the witcher knights saved Charlotte, the only survivor, from the cross last night, they did not let go of their doubts about Charlotte.
The witcher knight outside the door is the protector and the watchman.
Even if she managed to escape from the blood sacrifice of the "grandmother", the girl's survival crisis has not completely dissipated.
However, after listening to priest Lottie's explanation just now, Charlotte fell into deep thought:
"Divine spell...ritual?"
Divine ritual.
This is the second time Charlotte has come into contact with this vocabulary.
The first time was during the blood sacrifice.
She clearly remembered that the quaint text that appeared in her vision referred to the blood sacrifice of the "old hag" as a divine ritual.
Not only that, she also successfully intercepted and reversed the sacrificial ceremony.
Charlotte was able to survive in the end because of that sudden magical ability.
It also made her imagination run wild...
The blood sacrifice is a divine ritual, and the physical examination in the Demon Hunting Hall is also a divine ritual.
So... Is it possible for her, like last night in the basement, to "intercept" the next physical examination?
The thought made Charlotte's heart pound wildly.
She seems to see a ray of hope!
That magical ability may be her golden finger after time travel.
It's just that she still doesn't know what the golden finger is and how to open it.
But she still remembered the name mentioned in the strange text at that time.
The item that detected the blood sacrifice and successfully intercepted it...
Or to be more precise, the blood-red book that appeared next to her when she entered the wonderful state of looking down on the earth last night.
A kind of throbbing from the heart came to my heart...
Charlotte almost blurted out:
"The…Scripture of Blood."
The cadence is up and down, and the pronunciation is strange.
That is not the language of another world that Charlotte inherited in memory after traveling.
Even more awkward, more vicissitudes, but like instinct, she read it out by herself.
Following Charlotte's silent recitation, her vision once again turned scarlet.
In the dark, a quaint book slowly emerged in her mind...
The black and red cover is inlaid with gold, and is painted with complex and mysterious thorn rose patterns. It uses ancient and mysterious characters to describe the name that Charlotte can understand the meaning—
《The Holy Book of Blood》
Holy Code of Blood!
Charlotte cheered up.
The book that appeared in her mind was exactly the one that appeared beside her when she entered that strange state last night!
The scriptures were shining brightly, and the heavy cover opened by itself.
Different from the thick appearance, this "Blood Tome" seems to have been torn and divided, and most of the content has been lost.
Behind the cover, there are only two blood-red torn pages here and there, which makes Charlotte feel very familiar...
Wait, isn’t this broken page the same **** page that the old hag held in her hand when she sacrificed? !
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
The Countess of Castel is dead, and the **** torn page in her hand has probably been confiscated by the witcher knight long ago.
Even if Charlotte is curious and surprised, there is currently no way to find out.
She quickly focused on the remaining two pages of the Holy Tome of Blood.
One should be the title page, and the other should be the content page.
The title page is still in good condition, and Charlotte feels a little familiar with the illustration of a towering castle that seems to have life. The following two lines of beautiful and gorgeous golden writing are very eye-catching:
"I stand in the darkness, looking up to your light.
—Lilith"
Charlotte involuntarily began to recite silently in her heart.
The crimson radiance bloomed instantly, and she felt as if she had established some kind of mysterious connection with the book.
Under the brilliance, the title page turned over by itself.
The golden light kept flickering, and new lines of writing slowly emerged on the back of the title page—
【The Holy Code of Blood·The Beginning Chapter】
【I dream of ancient epochs and distant memories,】
【I narrate the lost myth and the original true ancestor,】
【I sing the song of the bloodborn and the dawn before darkness...】
[The ability to unlock the chapter of the beginning—]

…
Blood race... I am really a blood race!
Looking at the information in front of her, Charlotte was both happy and worried.
I am delighted that in this different world with extraordinary power, I have really stepped into the extraordinary.
What is worrying is that this identity is 100% shady...
Many content that emerged Charlotte could not understand.
It can only be roughly judged that this is somewhat similar to the personal panel of the system.
"Blood call? True ancestor liberation? Is this the ability of the blood scripture? One is cooling down, and the other is still sealed?"
"Shedeth, the dark clan, this is the clan division of the blood clan? But what the **** is the half-elf blood?"
"Apprentice level... I captured the power of the Countess of Castel last night, and what I obtained should be this level of extraordinary power, but it feels weaker than her."
"The five bloodline resonances should be the different development directions of the bloodlines."
Charlotte quickly browsed the information and analyzed the current status.
She quickly focused on the only power she possessed:
"Elementary blood embrace."
With the concentration of attention, information about blood embrace also emerged in Charlotte's consciousness.
Blood Embrace.
The inherent basic ability of blood race, the basic technique of blood spirit art.
The caster can transform the target into a blood servant or a lower-level blood race by creating a blood descendant through the initial embrace.
"Unfortunately, these information and abilities may be useful in the future, but they will not help solve my current crisis."
"What I need now is not these, but the magical ability to intercept the magic ritual last night!"
Charlotte slowly shook her head, looked away from the title page, and looked at the only remaining content page.
The content page is blank, nothing is written.
However, when Charlotte focused, rows of golden writing quickly appeared on it—
【Sacred Code of Blood · Chapter of God (Damaged)】
【I will be unstoppable,】
【I will be strong and domineering,】
【I will disdain all living beings! 】
【The Chapter of God Ability Unlock—】
【Divine Countermeasure (Activation)】
[Divine Magic Countermeasure: As the supreme artifact of the blood race, the Holy Code of Blood has the ability to detect divine magic rituals within a certain range (passive), and can intercept and modify magical rituals at lower levels (active). The modification of the formula must follow the inherent mechanism of the surgery, and the nature and function of the surgery cannot be changed. 】
"This is it!"
Seeing this description, Charlotte's eyes suddenly lit up.
At this moment, a soft knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting the girl's investigation.
Accompanied by the knock on the door, there was the gentle voice of Priest Lottie:
"Miss Charlotte, Captain Kara is back, is it convenient for us to come in?"
Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for monthly pass!
