Tome of Blood

Castell's convoy stayed in Boulder City for two days before leaving.

After that night, Baron Sharon didn't ask Charlotte the same question again, and the matter of dedicating the land to the church seemed to have been forgotten by him.

Charlotte guessed from the other party's vague attitude that the other party should already know that she did not sign a contract with the church, so she probably realized that she was only temporarily taking advantage of the church.

The other party didn't ask any more questions, and Charlotte wouldn't explain.

No, it should be said that even if she asked, she would not explain, so as not to leave any clues.

That's good, at least the baron can bring his attitude back to the territory, and it can also temporarily reassure those vassals who have never met.

The convoy left, and the Castle Manor returned to its former calm.

After getting the money, the first thing Charlotte did was to send Quasimodo to redeem all the collections he had sold.

She was still thinking about this matter, and she had promised the old servant Quasimodo that she would not break the promise.

After that, Charlotte's daily life returned to the old routine.

Prayer, exercise, reading books...

In addition to the newly acquired various innate spells in the training content, the newly acquired territory information in the reading content, and spending time investigating and pondering the means of increasing divine power every day... it is no different from the past.

No way, as time went by, the death of the great knight gradually fermented, and the vision of the night when Charlotte's ancestor was liberated was also mentioned again one after another.

She has to keep a low profile.

Especially after a transcendent judged that the vision that night was indeed the coming Balrog...

After that it became lively.

Even if the church repeatedly appeases them, it will inevitably make people curious about the existence that defeated the Balrog that night.

Some speculate that it is a passing legend, some speculate that it is an angel of the church, and some even speculate that it is the incarnation of God Lord Haral, but at the same time, some people speculate that it is a mysterious evil god...

What's more, some people connected the two, thinking that the death of the great knight of the trial office might also be related to the vision that night.

For a time, all kinds of remarks were rampant.

However, there is one theory that has been confirmed by the Church.

That is, the vision that night was a conspiracy of the Gorefiend Cult, but it had already been defeated by the church.

At the same time, following the revelation of Drunken Dream Salon, the Duke's Mansion also launched a purge and hunt for the relevant noble families...

There is a good reason for the cleansing, to participate in the evil and depraved Drunken Dream Salon, and to collude with the Blood Demon Sect!

This shifted the attention of the residents to the nobles.

There is no citizen who is unwilling to watch the fun of nobles and gentlemen, especially this kind of "sweeping black and evil"-like cleansing.

For a while, the reputation of the Bold family continued to rise with the purge of the nobles involved, especially the duke's son Leno who led the team.

"Hehe, master, it seems that the old duke is laying the groundwork for His Excellency Leno's succession. This move is really good. It can not only attack the noble forces, protect the way for the new duke, but also increase the authority of the new duke... "

"I even wonder now if the old Duke knew about the Drunken Dream Salon long ago and had such a plan."

Pour a cup of hot milk for Charlotte who was reading the "Holy Code", Sebas laughed.

Charlotte shook her head slightly:

"Let's let him go for now, no matter what the original intention is, cleaning up these noble moths is also a good thing."

"But it's not just about cleaning up moths. Honorable master, according to your order, I secretly ordered the Rose Society to track down those nobles who were hit. Most of them are indeed participants in the Drunken Dream Salon, but there are also many innocent people."

"Obviously, the old duke is taking advantage of the cleansing of the demon-related nobles to suppress dissidents."

Sebas said.

"What happened to the affected nobles?"

Charlotte asked.

"Most of them are actually not clean at all, but there are also some good people who were suppressed by the old duke because they were the opponents of Leno's successor. These people... the Rose Society tried their best to help them escape."

"Is there any evidence left?"

"Of course, keep them all."

"Very good. After the evaluation team from the Holy King's Court arrives, hand it over to Captain Kara along with the materials of the Great Priest."

Charlotte said.

Besides, after experiencing so many changes, the Holy Royal Court did not send the priests down to check immediately.

Charlotte was a little confused at first.

She was ready to deal with the legendary clergyman, but many days passed without even hearing from her.

Charlotte didn't know what happened until she passed the "information" from the high priest.

It turned out that not long after she thwarted the plan of the Gorefiend Sect, the High Priest of the Crescent Parish of the Holy King's Court changed.

The transfer of power from old to new is bound to be accompanied by more or less chaos.

In addition, although Boulder had an accident, the incident was "successfully suppressed" by the church, and the high priest was also constantly sending signals that "nothing happened here", so... the above finally did not immediately send people down.

But not sending people down immediately does not mean not sending people down.

Bold's visions are well known, and cannot be concealed.

And after the newly appointed archbishop of the diocese gave instructions, the work of investigating the incident of the Gorefiend Cult in the Principality of Boulder just fell on the evaluation team that was coming to the Principality for evaluation.

As for the evaluation team... that is the team of the holy royal court to evaluate the work of the priests. It is jointly formed by the knights of the court and the priests of the church. It is specially inspected when candidates are competing for the post of priest.

In other words, the evaluation team is here for the great priest, specifically to assess whether the high priest has the conditions to be the officiant.

This is the last step before the officiant contest. As long as it is successfully completed and voted by the judging officiant group, the great priest may realize his dream of officiant.

The great priest was both happy and worried.

The good news is that after some hard work and a little bit of luck, the Holy Royal Court probably won't send Legendary down to investigate.

What is worrying is that the investigation task falls on the evaluation team, and the investigation on him will only become more stringent.

Although he has tried his best to deal with all parties, the evaluation team should not be too embarrassing for him.

But the newly added investigation task disrupted his plan at once.

Without him, the evaluation tasks are led by the priests of the church, while the investigation tasks are led by the judges.

In order to balance the power, the diocese simply appointed a new Chief Examiner, an upright and highly experienced princess priest.

The opponent is also at the third level of Chi Yang, even much stronger than the Great Priest.

"Great God of the Night, humble Linus, I pray for your protection, and help me pass the exam smoothly..."

Facing the altar, the high priest prayed respectfully.

And after praying, he did not forget to take out all the secret materials of the church that he had collected, and read them one by one in front of the altar.

There is no way, the God of Dark Night disdains to accept the sacrifice of sacrifices (in fact, he will not), he can only transmit information in this way.

And after reading the information, looking at the slightly flickering candlelight, the great priest felt more at ease.
