Tome of Blood - Chapter 245

Chapter 245-95-Respectful Priests and Elders

Since a soldier came to invite her, Charlotte went with the flow and accepted the other party’s kindness.

Following the animal skin warriors through the thatched huts, she soon came to the tower of shelter on the hillside.

When Charlotte entered the tower, the priests and elders of the tribe were already waiting there.

It was an elderly man with silver hair and a tired expression.

He was wearing the traditional clothing of the elves, and his legs seemed to be disabled, so he could only half sit on the recliner.

Feeling the faint extraordinary aura on the other party and the vague taste similar to the priest of the holy royal court, Charlotte’s heart moved slightly:

This is a priest!

The clergyman of the moon **** Artemis!

Seeing Charlotte, the old priest smiled.

With the support of the soldiers, he saluted Charlotte tremblingly, and then said respectfully:

“May the shelter of the moonlight be with you, respected Lord Tianqi Ensi, please forgive me for being inconvenient and unable to greet you in person after knowing your arrival…”

“My name is Engel, and I am the priest and elder of the Beishan Tribe. May I help you?”

Seeing the respectful and enthusiastic look of the old priest, Charlotte was surprised.

The status of the elves seems to be higher than she imagined, even she, a half-elf, will receive such courtesy.

She was thinking about how she should respond if the other party asked about her background, but she didn’t expect that the other party didn’t ask at all.

After thinking about it, Charlotte tentatively said:

“Mr. Engel, I do need some help from you.”

“To tell you the truth, I was rescued by Lord Halfdan of your tribe after waking up in the wild. After waking up, I forgot a lot of things…”

“If possible, I hope to inquire about some information about the Apocalypse from you. If you have a collection of books about mythology or history, I also hope to borrow some.”

“I hope to use this method to see if I can wake up the lost memory…”

After hearing what Charlotte said, Elder Engel showed embarrassment:

“Lord Tianqi Ensi, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. Our Beishan tribe has always strictly complied with the requirements of the central tower, and we don’t have any collections, let alone collections about mythology and history…I’m afraid you only have Go to the central tower to find it.”

“If you want to inquire about the information of the Apocalypse, I know something, but I’m afraid it’s just superficial. After all, although I am a priest in the tribe, I am only a mortal who believes in moonlight, and I cannot get God’s favor like you.”

“However, the central tower will send envoys every three months, and there are still more than two months before the next envoy arrives. If you don’t dislike it, you can rest in our tribe and wait until the emissary from the high tower arrives.” After coming here, I will definitely take you back and help you wake up your memory.”

Elder Engel looked sincere and respectful.

But Charlotte felt an indescribable subtlety.

How do you feel… Whatever you say, what does the priest and elder believe?

Doesn’t he doubt his origin at all?

Charlotte was puzzled, but her face remained calm, and she continued to ask:

“Mr. Engel, it’s okay to just scratch the surface. I can’t remember many things. Even if it is common sense in this world, it is the knowledge I need to know.”

Elder Engel nodded and said respectfully:

“I see. What exactly do you want to know? As long as I know something, I will know everything.”

Getting this answer, Charlotte’s sense of subtlety became stronger.

However, since the other party said so, she stopped being polite, and started to inquire about all kinds of common sense about this world like a person who really lost her memory.

As promised, the priest elder Engel patiently answered Charlotte’s various questions one by one, which gave Charlotte a better understanding of this era.

While asking, Charlotte confirmed each other with the various classics she had read before traveling. Gradually, she also pieced together the worldview of this era in her heart…

First of all, if there is no accident, she really slept thousands of years ago.

Or to be more precise, it should be the end of the Elven Era between 2,800 and 3,000 years ago.

The country she lives in, called the Kingdom of High Towers, should be one of the first kingdoms established by the elves who arrived in Miria. On the plateau to the north of Earl of Stirr.

Elves are revered as the Apocalypse in this era, and their descendants with humans are called the descendants of the Apocalypse.

The Apocalypse is the ruler of each country, and the Apocalypse is the spokesperson of the Apocalypse and the direct manager of mortals. They are like royal families and nobles.

They provide shelter to mortals, and mortals offer them loyalty and tribute.

It is because of the protection of “Apocalypse” that mortals can survive in this chaotic era, and the source of all chaos, the evil gods and wild beasts that have awakened since ancient times, are the common enemy of mortals and the Apocalypse.

These materials correspond to the history that Charlotte knows.

The so-called evil gods are naturally the old gods awakened by the arrival of the elves in the mainland of Miria, and the desolate beasts are naturally all kinds of monsters that have been mutated by the influence of divine blood.

Obviously, in this era, the war between the elves and the old gods has broken out for quite a long time.

The leader of the elves is Artemis, the moon god. As for the old gods, there are different opinions. Elder Engel, who is a mortal, doesn’t know much.

Besides this, other gods of later generations have not yet appeared, including the true ancestor of blood, the **** of creation, the king of the sea, or the **** of contract, etc…

In other words, the era after Charlotte’s awakening is before the beginning of the magnificent era of mythology in history, when those old gods have not yet fallen, and the godhood has not been obtained by all kinds of lucky people!

“Master Tianqi Ensi, do you want to know any more information?”

Seeing Charlotte who was lost in thought, Elder Engel asked respectfully.

Charlotte came back to her senses and shook her head:

“Well…Thank you for your answer, Mr. Engel, I don’t have any questions for now.”

“Then what are your plans next? If you want to stay and wait for the messenger from the tower to arrive, I can arrange the best accommodation in the tribe for you; if you want to go to the central tower, I can also send someone Escort you there.”

“The central tower is located in the south, and it will take about a month to get there. It will take more than two months to wait for the messenger to arrive, but then you can follow the messenger to go to the tower through the divine grace circle, instead of traveling alone.”

Elder Engel said again.

Divine grace circle?

Could it be… the teleportation array?

Charlotte’s heart moved slightly.

She thought about the two children of Halfdan, and said:

“I’ll stay here for a while.”

She has already found a way to increase her strength, so it doesn’t matter if she is not in such a hurry to go to the central tower, let alone meet two children who are suspected of being the true ancestor of blood and the **** of creation here.

After hearing what Charlotte said, Elder Engel smiled and said:

“Everything naturally follows your wishes…”

After deciding where to stay, Elder Engel sent someone to arrange accommodation for Charlotte.

Before leaving the tower, Charlotte’s heart moved slightly, and she turned her hand quietly, leaving behind a blood magic for monitoring—the Eye of Shadow.

Elder Engel’s attitude was too friendly and unsuspecting, which made her feel uneasy, and planned to probe the other party’s background quietly.

To Charlotte’s surprise, just as she left with her front foot, she “saw” Halfdan, who was supposed to be waiting at home, enter the tower through the monitoring magic with her back foot.
