Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

"Achoo—!"

In the underground chamber of Castel Manor, Charlotte sneezed and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Although it was June, the temperature in the basement was still a bit low, making her nose feel slightly blocked by the cold.

Blood Summon had ended.

Charlotte glanced at the hourglass she had prepared in advance and estimated that about fifteen minutes must have passed.

"The cooldown for Blood Summon is back to 0%, it looks like I'll need to attend more services at the Church..."

"My body feels chilly, I must have only entered that magical world in my consciousness, leaving my body here."

"Choosing the basement for the Blood Summon was the right decision, as during the summoning, my physical body outside was unprotected."

Charlotte quickly came to this conclusion.

She patted the dust off her skirt, stood up from the ground, but suddenly felt dizzy.

As if she had just solved a hundred complex mathematical problems, Charlotte felt her whole head buzzing, the world spinning, her mind blanking out spasmodically.

The girl, who had gained some understanding of the Transcendent, knew this was a sign of spiritual power overexertion.

However, even though she felt unusually tired, Charlotte's mood was quite joyful.

She had obtained the third Holy Scripture Fragment!

Although she hadn't had the chance to see what was added to the Blood Holy Scripture in the dream world, at the moment the dream collapsed, she indeed sensed that new information was added to the Holy Scripture.

Resting against the wall for a while and feeling her spiritual power had somewhat recovered, Charlotte left the basement.

She had rather unpleasant memories here and didn't want to stay a moment longer after the task was done.

Returning to the ground level of the manor, the bright sunshine gave the girl a feeling as if she had been reborn.

Leaning against the wall back to her bedroom, collapsing onto the bed, Charlotte didn't want to move anymore.

Subconsciously, she shook the silver bell by the bed, wanting to ask the maid to bring up a glass of milk, but then she suddenly realized there weren't any maids in the house anymore.

The grand manor was still occupied by her alone, cold and empty, with only the chirping of birds in the garden echoing.

And just the thought of having to cross two corridors and take a big detour just to get milk from the pantry—and that the walk alone would take a good ten minutes—drained away her motivation in an instant, leaving her as listless as a salted fish.

"It's not always good to have such a big house... Wanting a glass of milk is such a hassle, if there are no maids, it's really inconvenient to do anything."

Charlotte shook her head, suddenly missing the small and exquisite house from her past life, where she didn't even need the time to yawn to reach from her bed to the fridge in the kitchen.

She sighed and lay obediently on the bed, closing her eyes to rest and recover her spiritual power.

And she lay there for about two hours.

After two hours, her overextended spiritual power had mostly recovered.

Ensuring she could communicate with the Blood Holy Scripture again, Charlotte eagerly sank into her consciousness.

She was very curious to know what new ability the page added to the Holy Scripture held.

The familiar crimson enveloped her vision, and the hefty tome reappeared.

After flipping through the first two pages, the third page appeared in the Blood Holy Scripture.

The page was still blank.

However, when Charlotte focused her consciousness on it, the familiar golden script slowly emerged—

[Blood Holy Scripture·Spirit Chapter]

[Darkness rises like gossamer veils]

[Looking around, I was aware of my Awakening...]

[Demanding respect from foes, Majesty is my glory;]

[Commanding enemies to submit, Domination is my scepter;]

[Expanding the limits of vision, Illusion Technique is my disguise.]

[Spirit Chapter·Majesty Section (Unlocked)]

[Discovered Low-Tier Majesty Skill: the foundational spell of the Spirit Path Majesty Magic System, and the mainstream spell for first learning the Spirit Path, capable of enhancing one's Majesty, intimidating or charming targets when faced.]

[Would you like to proceed with the Inheritance?]

Charlotte was already quite used to descriptions that appeared like a game system.

The Blood Holy Scripture seemed to possess the ability to align with the habits and cognition of its master, thus displaying information in her view as if it were a golden finger system.

After all, in her previous life, Charlotte had read many web novels that featured systems.

She had experimented, if she wanted to change the way the Blood Holy Scripture was displayed, she could definitely do so.

For instance, manifesting parchment, changing it to a blackboard, or even allowing it to appear in her consciousness as a virtual character, even a two-dimensional anime girl would do...

```

However, Charlotte still preferred to let the Blood Holy Scripture simulate a "system."

This gave her the feeling that she was playing a game, or that she was the protagonist of a novel.

Different from the previous two Holy Scripture Fragments,

the new Holy Scripture Fragment belonged to a new chapter and did not possess special abilities like the Chapter of Origin and the Divine Chapter; it merely recorded a Bloodline's magic.

"Low-Tier Majesty Skill? Spirit Path?"

Charlotte pondered.

It is said that Bloodlines have five developmental directions, also known as the Five Bloodline Resonances.

This was what Charlotte repeatedly researched and determined after reviewing her personal information in the Chapter of Origin.

The five Bloodline Resonance directions are the Dark Path, Wildness Path, Blood and Flesh Path, Spirit Path, and Observation Path.

Currently, Charlotte had only begun to resonate with the Dark Path and had mastered the initial tier of the Blood Spirit Magic System's Blood Embrace Skill, and her mastery was evaluated as perfect.

That is, the First Embrace of others, creating Blood Servants and Bloodline descendants.

This is a basic ability for Bloodlines, innate and also a difficult means for Bloodlines that have trouble naturally reproducing to pass down their lineage.

Bloodlines are called dark creatures, and aside from not dying naturally, possessing this fundamental talent of the Dark system is also a primary reason.

Now, Charlotte finally had the opportunity to learn a second Bloodline magic!

"Majesty Skill, huh... according to the description, it's a magic that can enhance one's demeanor, which is very useful for me right now."

"Although it can't directly increase combat power, if used well, perhaps it will have surprising effects in future interactions with servants, nobles, and the Church."

Charlotte pondered.

She was well aware that as a noble, social interaction was a must, and moreover, she had to do it well!

At this thought, Charlotte didn't hesitate and immediately made her choice:

"Inheritance!"

With the decision made, Charlotte felt a surge of vast information flood into her mind.

Tiny crimson sparks of light formed in her spiritual world, spreading and sketching out continuously, finally condensing into an ethereal spell model.

At the same time, Charlotte felt her understanding of the Low-Tier Majesty Skill rapidly improve.

It was as if it had been broken into pieces and fed directly into her mouth—how to chant the spell, how to activate the spell model in her mind, how to resonate with spiritual power to successfully cast the Majesty Skill...

All of this took shape in her mind.

[Inheritance Successful]

[Mastery of Low-Tier Majesty Skill acquired (Entry-level: 0/100)]

After a dozen seconds or so, the knowledge infusion ended.

Charlotte had a feeling...

Now, if she wished, she could completely cast this magic!

Of course, she was not yet proficient.

She was like someone who had been led to pour over a map of the road, but how to walk it, how to walk better and faster, how to truly integrate everything, still required a lot of effort.

She couldn't wait to find a target to try it out.

Looking around, Charlotte quickly spotted a chattering sparrow on a branch outside the window.

An idea crossed her mind.

She sat up straight, gazed at the sparrow on the branch, followed the spell model provided by the inheritance in her consciousness, and then chanted the complex and mystical spell silently:

"Majesty!"

A subtle light flickered in Charlotte's pupils, and she felt as if a mysterious power was bestowed upon her, casting its influence through her eyes.

"Come here!"

She beckoned to the sparrow with a tender yet commanding voice that carried an undeniable sense of authority.

The sparrow trembled slightly, then spread its wings and flew, docilely landing in the palm of the young girl.

Looking at the sparrow in her palm, which was clearly afraid yet seemed inexplicably dependent on her, Charlotte smiled faintly.

At the same time, the information about the Low-Tier Majesty Skill in her consciousness changed.

Following the entry-level description...

0/100 became 1/100.

However, at that moment, there was a sudden boom in Charlotte's consciousness...

The crimson glow reappeared, and familiar text gradually spread out—

[Conditions have been met...]

[Great Master of Holy Scripture, would you like to open the Inheritance Promotion Tree?]
