Tome of Blood

Chapter 220 -70- The Academy's Vision (Happy New Year's Day)

The ethereal chants are beautiful and dreamy, and the bright holy light is sacred and stalwart.

In the prayer room of the Beigang Church, Charlotte in a white dress sits in front of the statue of the Lord Harald, clasping her hands and praying with her eyes closed.

Seeing the young earl bathed in the holy light, the priests of the Wangting Church showed excitement, and they all drew a circle of crosses on their chests, secretly praising the holiness.

A pious lord often means the growth of faith, which is especially important for the declining church in the Northland.

If anyone in the Free Territory of Beigang is looking forward to and loyal to the young Lord Earl at this moment, it is probably none other than these priests.

In their eyes, the holy light on the young girl was so dazzling, almost the same as the legendary saint.

Coupled with the various rumors in the Northland some time ago and Charlotte's severe attack on the Gorefiend forces these days, in their view, the girl is simply a devout and loyal preacher, saving the "saints" of the Northern Church...

After a long time, the radiance dissipated, and the chant slowly stopped.

Charlotte gently opened her eyes, a faint light flashed through the depths of her pupils, and her expression showed a bit of contented joy.

And this kind of joy that was almost overflowing fell in the eyes of all the priests, which confirmed their piety and fanaticism. The eyes of the priests looking at Charlotte became even hotter.

"Praise be holy!"

Charlotte stretched out her right hand, drew a standard circle cross symbol on her chest, and then gave a slight salute to the statue of God gratefully.

"Praise be holy!"

The priests also showed excitement, bowing and saluting along with Charlotte's movements, their voices were neat and pious.

Only Lottie, the temporary head priest of Beigang Church, looked away unnaturally, looking at the priests with vague sympathy.

Praying once a day is already a daily routine for Charlotte to supplement the divine power of blood with the power of the Holy Light.

Although there is only a little bit at a time, the accumulation of small amounts is also a steady stream of divine power.

Every time she thanked the great Lord Harald...

It was all from the heart.

At the end of the service, Charlotte stood up with Shirley's help, while the priests crowded up one after another.

Charlotte's eyes fell on these priests, smiled slightly, and said:

"My lords, how do you think about my previous proposal?"

The priests looked at each other, and then respectfully said:

"Lord Earl, I think what you said is very reasonable. The Northland is no different than other places. We also know that it is extremely difficult to spread the belief of the God Lord here. Everything must be done step by step..."

"Yeah, the church has long lost its foundation in Castel. Not only that...the North has also gathered a large number of unbelievers and heretics who are hostile to the church. It may not be a good idea to take tough measures to spread the glory of our Lord. Very good way."

"We very much agree with the gentle policy you mentioned. If they can truly feel the light and goodwill of the church, they will eventually be moved one day..."

Looking at the church priests who agreed in unison, Charlotte showed a bright and charming smile, and said gently:

"Then I need to ask everyone. Restarting the missionary school is the first attempt. The Castel family will be responsible for all the funds of the missionary school."

"However, considering the people's perception of the church, I propose that the revived church school should no longer be called the 'church', but directly called 'Northern College', how about it?"

"this……"

After hearing what Charlotte said, the priests looked at each other in blank dismay, but thinking of the current predicament of the church in Castel, they all agreed in the end:

"Everything... is at your command."

Charlotte's smile became more gentle:

"Then, I will need your continued support. There is no one in the entire Miria continent who is more suitable to be the tutor of general studies and etiquette than the priests. After the school restarts, everyone must be busy. "

"Praise the holiness, this is what it should be! And it is more convenient to serve as a mentor to point out the direction for young souls!"

The priests all said sternly.

After some discussion, Charlotte arranged for the remaining priests in the church to teach in the "Northland Academy" that was scheduled to restart.

Before leaving, all the priests also looked forward to it, full of hope for the future in the near future.

Looking at the backs of the priests leaving, Charlotte smiled.

She turned her head, looked at Priest Lottie who had been silent all the time, and asked leisurely:

"How is it, Lottie? How do you like my handling?"

Lottie looked strange, she sighed softly, and said:

"As expected of you... you easily diverted the attention of all the priests and made them available labor."

"General education and etiquette are the boring courses that students hate the most everywhere, and they are also the busiest. Once they become mentors, they probably won't have much energy to preach..."

"Not only that, restarting the church school is the wish of many church priests in the North, but... depending on your attitude, it is not certain whether it is a 'Church College' or a 'Castel College' in the end. "

After hearing Lottie's answer, Charlotte smiled noncommittally.

In the past few days since the review began, she has been thinking about what she can do now, and adhering to the idea of ​​"a century-old plan, education-oriented", she feels that in the long run, she must first grasp this aspect .

This is also a part of her efforts to consolidate her own rule and spread her beliefs in the future.

"You're right. I do have plans in this regard. Not only that... If the academy is really restarted, I will have the idea to send all the descendants of nobles in the territory to the academy to teach in the future."

Charlotte said.

Lottie hesitated, and said:

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Nobles have their own inheritance and private teachers. Except for those who want to become noble priests, in fact, very few of them go to church colleges."

Charlotte laughed:

"It's just an idea. There is a long way to go in the future. At present, it is mainly to find something for the priests in the North."

"Whoever controls education controls the discourse power of thought. If you want to build the Northland into an impregnable place, you must strengthen this aspect."

Lottie's heart moved slightly:

"Lord Charlotte, are you... planning to start preaching?"

Charlotte thought for a while and said:

"For the time being, it's a rainy day."

After discussing with Lottie about rebuilding the "Ecclesiastical College" that had been closed for many years in the Northland, Charlotte returned to the Earl's Mansion after finishing today's God Lord's fleece.

However, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw the captain of the Beigang City Guard hurriedly greeted him under the leadership of the deacon of the mansion:

"My lord, the city guard has something important to report!"

As he spoke, the captain of the city guard presented a parchment that had been improvised with both hands.

The maid Shirley took the parchment and put it into Charlotte's hands. Charlotte picked it up and browsed through it, her expression moved slightly with surprise on her face:

"Nice clan? Mission?"

The last day of 2022! I wish you all a Happy New Year's Day in advance!

New year, new weather, next year will no longer be bad! Take the monthly pass in the hands of the readers as proof!
