Covert font so stroke creates transparent parents areas.

I have a two text layers. Bottom layer is white fill, no stroke. Top layer is white fill, colour stroke. I want to blend these two together but where the stroke hits the bottom text layer, creates a transparent area. So the blue outline would show up red in the picutre below.

Ah, OK.

I would do it like so. Instead of doing everything in the Appearance panel, you could also just apply the opactiy to the stroke there, keep your two objects, group them and then apply the knockout group to the actual group. If you don't see the desired result, go into CPU preview in the View menu

Could you please show the wrong result?

I don't think I understand the part of "blending them together"

Sorry, I have attached another image. First two are correct. Bottom ones are wrong. Essentially I want the black strokes to be transparent so that when I put the N on any colour, they stroke will take on the background.
