It gave a sheepish smile,
"Lord Charlotte, Nisi didn’t quite understand your point, Nisi..."
It wanted to gloss over things, but couldn’t finish.
Because it sensed the gradually rising aura of Lord Charlotte and the mark of the servant contract slowly lighting up in the depths of its soul.
"It seems I’ve been too lenient with you, I’ll just ask your soul directly."
Lord Charlotte sighed and said.
Feeling the pulsation of the contract, Nisi instantly chickened out and quickly exclaimed,
"Speak! I’ll speak! Lord Charlotte! Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell everything!"
"Then talk about your knowledge of the Ancient Hall and the Faceless Divine Statue, and then about their whereabouts."
Both the Ancient Divine Palace and the Faceless Divine Statue were creations left by the Blood True Ancestor in history, yet even within the Bloodline, opinions varied wildly about the True Ancestor’s purpose for building the palaces and sculpting the statues.
Albrecht’s memories mentioned many viewpoints within the Bloodline, but regardless of the opinion, the Bloodline’s handling of the discovered palaces and statues was uniform.
That was, the palace must be destroyed or repurposed for other deities, while the statues were to be sealed or presented to the respective Dukes and Princes.
In essence... it was about erasing all traces of the Blood True Ancestor.
Relatively speaking, the Bloodline’s overall stance on the Ancient Divine Palace and the Faceless Divine Statue was one of destruction and sealing, rather than deep investigation.
Interestingly, in Albrecht’s memories, human history’s Legendary Mage Nicholas had been very interested in these artifacts and even disappeared taking a statue with him.
"The Ancient Divine Palace and the Faceless Divine Statue... Weren’t those crafted by you? With such objects involving mythical powers, you should know more than I do."
Charlotte shook her head:
"I’m not clear on what transpired in history, and I currently also don’t know what use these things actually have."
"So... you mean to say that you’ve lost all memories related to your own mythical powers, none of it has resurged..."
Charlotte didn’t know how to respond to that; she had always firmly believed that she was only a transmigrator masquerading as the Blood True Ancestor with the help of the Blood Holy Scripture, but with the "second crossing," having seen the Blood Moon Song, and learning more history, she became uncertain about some things.
Losing memory wasn’t quite right; she wasn’t a returning deity, Charlotte thought it was more likely a reversal of karma.
Of course, these weren’t necessary to discuss with outsiders, after all, she couldn’t confirm the speculation of the second crossing unless she tried crossing through history again when she ascended to Blazing Sun.
As for Nisi... let the misunderstanding be.
"It seems, even gods have a rough time, even finding their past is a troubling matter."
"So, what do you know then?"
Nisi pondered and said,
"About the Ancient Hall and the Faceless Divine Statue, my knowledge is quite limited, however... one thing I’m sure about is that while the Bloodline sees them as your backup for return, based on my research, your past purpose for creating them wasn’t likely for that."
"Of course, the statues do contain divine power and their nature is quite special, in a sense, they indeed could aid in regaining your powers, but that should not be the primary purpose."
"My research indicates... the primary purpose of the Ancient Divine Palace and the Faceless Divine Statue seems more like constructing a massive Array that encompasses the whole world."
"A world-encompassing massive Array?"
Charlotte showed a look of surprise.
"Yes, and it’s an Array that integrates magic power collection and protection, if I’m not mistaken, its ultimate goal must be to concentrate all of Mireya’s magic power."
To absorb all the magic power in the whole world?
Charlotte’s eyelids twitched.
Nisi paused, looking at Charlotte and choosing his words carefully,
"In my view, the Ancient Hall and the Faceless Divine Statue seem more like your... um, the past Blood True Ancestor’s attempt to eternally rule Mireya, to go further, to become an existence surpassing deities."
To eternally rule, to become an existence surpassing deities...
That could correlate with some descriptions in the Blood Moon Song, at least in the poem, the Blood True Ancestor "devours" the sun, also as a further step.
But Charlotte also felt, such actions seemed unlike what she would do; she considered herself rather laid-back and generally content, if there were no external threats, she might even keep being an idle fish.
"You say you think the scattered Ancient Halls around the world are actually part of a massive Array, then... have you found evidence?"
Nisi immediately became smug:
"Meow! More than evidence! Nisi even successfully restored a part of the Array’s configuration, and even accurately deduced some of the Ancient Halls’ locations, three of the unearthed ones are all due to Nisi’s deductions!"
"Of course, Nisi is not a real mythical entity, achieving this was almost my limit, the rest is mostly knowing there are a few more and their possible locations."
