Charlotte knew she was just a transmigrator who had coincidentally been recognized by the Blood Holy Scripture, not the Blood True Ancestor from the Mireya world that had been missing for who knows how many years.
However, with the Blood Holy Scripture in hand, she had bound too many traits of the Blood True Ancestor, and the power she displayed did indeed closely resemble that of a resurgent Bloodline Ancestor.
Or rather, it was quite possible that the Blood Holy Scripture was ant to cultivate a new Bloodline True Ancestor.
From this perspective, Charlotte, for the sake of convenience, had in so sense accepted the guesses about her identity made by Black Cat Nisi and Sebastian.
But she had never imagined that there would be soone who would expose her "disguise" upon first eting...
It was already extraordinary that her Bloodline identity was recognized, let alone being revered as the Ancestor from the very first encounter!
This very mont even caused her to have so self-doubt...
Was her pretense of identity so fragile in the eyes of so beings?
Charlotte couldn’t help but cast a sidelong glance at Sebastian, noticing that the Elf butler had unnaturally turned his head away after the old woman exposed her "identity," clearly feeling sowhat guilty.
Charlotte: ...
Goodness, it couldn’t be that Sebastian had spilled the beans about her disguised identity, could it?
But Charlotte soon dismissed this speculation.
After a year of acquaintance, she knew the Elf butler all too well.
To beco the follower closest to her, Sebastian would rather be the only one in the world who knew her "true identity." How could he possibly reveal her secret?
Perhaps this guilty conscience was because he inadvertently let out so information that allowed the old woman before her to guess her "identity"...
Prophetic Witch...
Similar to... a prophet?
A thought flickered through Charlotte’s mind.
However, although her mind was spinning with thoughts, Charlotte maintained her composure on the surface.
"Prophetic Witch? What is your relation to the Nais clan?"
She leaned forward slightly, asking with tentative curiosity.
Nais, also known as the Observation Clan, was one of the five great Bloodline clans that currently existed, specializing in Observation Path and Bloodline Resonance and adept in prophecy and divination.
Only those humanoid female beings with strong magic power could be called "Witch," including humans, Bloodline, and even Elves, among other humanoids.
For example, the heir of the Vadret Family, famous for the Wildness Path, was called the Pure White Witch.
Being referred to as the Ancestor indicated that the other party was also of the Bloodline.
However, Charlotte did not sense any Bloodline power coming from her.
On the contrary, the book of the dead spirit by Charlotte’s side trembled slightly when the old woman and the maid entered the tent, as if it sensed sothing.
"Great Ancestor, as you see, I was once a mber of the Nais clan, but of course... I have left the Nais clan for many years and have also been out of contact with other Bloodline mbers for a very long ti," the old woman respectfully answered.
Once a mber?
A thought flickered through Charlotte’s mind.
Once a mber?
Sebastian couldn’t help but look at the old woman, his expression slightly surprised, evidently hearing this for the first ti.
And the old woman turned to the girl beside her, revealing a kind smile:
"Of course, all that is in the past, and now... I am just a grandmother who wishes to see her granddaughter safe and sound."
Saying this, she took the girl’s hand and bowed once more towards Charlotte:
"Great Ancestor, please forgive Anna’s disrespect..."
"Ever since Lord Sebastian’s first visit to inquire about the history of the Bloodline, I had already guessed your arrival, but it was not until today that I formally t you..."
"Please forgive my neglect, my arrogance, my selfishness... I did not wish to deceive you, and I know that I could not deceive you..."
"However, as a deity, you have long beco a legend, and a deity is too far removed from mortals, making it impossible for mortals to fathom the thoughts of the divine. Without sufficient knowledge of you, I did not know if I should bring Rena to et you."
Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat, understanding the other party’s aning.
This mysterious woman nad Anna, not having a clear idea of her temperant and due to so unknown concerns, did not dare to et her.
And this attitude and thought only represented one thing—
Like the forr Sebastian, she was a non-believer!
But why was she afraid to et her?
Could Charlotte possibly consu her?
"Are you very afraid of ?" she asked.
The old woman shivered, bowing even lower:
"The deity... is of course to be feared by people, let alone a towering figure like yourself."
"In Bold City, you struck down the Fla Demon Vararoka with a single blow, taking half of its power. Your mighty strength is still vivid in my mory and rightly inspires awe."
Hmm?
Even Sebastian had not seen clearly how she had defeated the Fla Demon Vararoka, and yet she could?
It seems... her position was much higher than Sebastian’s.
A thought flickered through Charlotte’s mind, pensive.
However, she did not feel any readily apparent transcendent aura emanating from the old woman.
This "Bloodline" nad Anna must have encountered so issue.
And at the sa ti, she sensed faintly the Bloodline’s attitude towards their "True Ancestor" via the other party...
The old woman had used the word "fear."
Charlotte believed that this fear was likely not just regarding mortals, but probably included the Bloodline itself.
