Tome of Blood

Chapter 349 -5- The Priest of the Diocese

The absence of visitors came as quite a surprise to Charlotte.

To be honest, she didn't believe that she was really forgotten. The Castel family's convoy was still very powerful. It was impossible for the nobles in the capital to not know it. Winner, she is also destined not to be a small role that can be ignored in the central meeting.

Standing in front of the window sill, Charlotte looked at the deserted street outside the manor.

Perhaps it was because the manor was relatively remote in the inner city, and pedestrians were rarely seen on the street. However, when Charlotte stood in front of the window, her keen spiritual sense gave her a sense of being spied on. Feel.

The feeling was strong, and... not just from one place.

Obviously just standing in front of the window sill, obviously only facing the deserted street, but Charlotte has a feeling as if she is under the spotlight and being watched by many eyes.

And when she followed this spiritual perception and looked in all directions, the feeling of being spied on in that direction would correspondingly weaken...

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

She calmly mobilized a trace of the divine power of blood, and communicated with the "Holy Code of Blood" in her consciousness.

After merging with the god statue, her control over the "Book of Blood" became more voluntary. Under the mobilization of divine power, Charlotte's already extremely keen spiritual sense was suddenly strengthened again.

In an instant, she "saw" clearly the scene around the manor, and "saw" the eyeliners who were hiding in various places around the manor she rented as the center.

One, two, three... Even if it's just a rough "look", there must be at least a dozen, and they obviously belong to different forces.

Charlotte: ...

So, she really wasn't forgotten.

On the contrary, she is too important.

No one came to contact, it doesn't mean that no one wants to contact, but for some unknown reason, no one wants to be the first to contact.

Everyone chose to wait and see in the dark.

"Master, it seems... the situation in the capital is more delicate than we imagined. The struggle between the king, the nobles and the church may have reached a fever pitch here."

Sebastian obviously sensed the problem, and said calmly.

After hearing what her housekeeper said, Charlotte was thoughtful.

She narrowed her eyes, suddenly smiled and said:

"It's okay, since no one wants to visit, let's go out by ourselves."

Sebas's heart moved:

"Where are you going?"

Charlotte glanced at him, and said leisurely:

"What else could it be? As a devout holy believer, after arranging the accommodation, of course I will go to church to pray."

Following Charlotte's order, the manor quickly became busy.

After lunch, she got into the carriage, left the residence and headed towards the cathedral in the royal capital.

And when the carriage drove out of the manor, Charlotte keenly sensed that those dark eyeliners immediately began to act together.

She clicked her tongue and smiled, but she didn't bother to talk to them.

...

The Lutetia Cathedral is located in the west of the inner city of the royal capital, not far from the manor rented by Charlotte. It is across the river from the Royal Palace and the Central Council. It is also a typical Siunite-style building.

As the center of the Crescent Diocese, Lutetia Cathedral is also the largest church in the entire Crescent Kingdom, receiving thousands of holy believers from all over the country every day.

Rather than handing over a formal visit to the church as the Castells, Charlotte drove directly to the church as a believer.

But even so, the cathedral that heard the news still received her grandly.

In front of the cathedral door, the priests wearing divine robes lined up on both sides, it seemed that they had already received the news and were ready.

The clerics who greeted him were dressed in white robes and wore a sun badge on their chests.

That is the sign of the blazing sun.

The one who greeted Charlotte turned out to be a great priest of the blazing sun level!

"Your Excellency Count Castel, Lutetia Cathedral welcomes you, may the divine light always be with you..."

"The High Priest knew about your arrival yesterday, and has been waiting for you in the church for a long time."

The great priest in a white robe drew a sign of the cross on his chest, and said with a smile on his face.

Big... Great Officiant?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

In the Holy King's Court, only the highest priest in the diocese can be called the chief priest.

And... the strength is legendary.

In other words, from the moment she entered the capital, she had already registered with the big boss of the Holy King's Court Crescent Parish.

This is really a bit unprepared.

You must know that the chief priest in the holy royal court has always had a detached position, with greater power than the chief judge, and more noble than the status of monarchs in many countries.

On weekdays, apart from kings and legends, very few people could see him on occasions other than public events, and it was difficult even for ordinary dukes to meet.

It is also for this reason that Charlotte dared to visit the Lutetia Cathedral in a big way.

But now, the other party is waiting for Charlotte in the cathedral, and it sounds like he has been waiting for a long time.

Caught off guard, really caught off guard...

Charlotte didn't expect that she avoided the chief judge and the cardinal priest who went to the North to investigate, but after arriving in the capital, she directly bumped into the priest of the diocese!

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte suppressed the astonishment in her heart.

calm……

Must be calm!

Although she didn't expect the high priest of the diocese to meet her by name, it's not like she didn't plan to bump into a legendary priest!

And...you have to believe in the powerful anti-magic ability of "The Holy Code of Blood"!

With this in mind, Charlotte activated the "Sacred Tome of Blood" calmly, trying to cover up her blood aura as much as possible.

Then, she pulled herself together, smiled slightly, and also drew a circle cross symbol on her chest, with a pious expression:

"Praise the holiness! It is my honor, Castel, to be summoned by the High Priest..."

Seeing Charlotte's expression, the expression of the great priest of the church became softer.

He greeted Charlotte slightly, and then guided Charlotte to the depths of the church.

Following the priest of the church, Charlotte entered the Lutetia Cathedral.

After entering the church, Charlotte only felt a slight tingling on her skin, and her heart skipped a beat, and soon realized that the sacred power in the cathedral was too strong.

After all, she is a vampire, restrained by the divine power, even with the cheat of "Sacred Code of Blood", she is still a vampire in essence.

However, perhaps because of the fusion of the ancient statues, her resistance to the sacred power is much stronger than in the past. If it was changed when she just crossed over, the strong sacred power in the church would have purified her on the spot. .

Fortunately, under the spread of the divine power, the "Sacred Code of Blood" quickly responded automatically.

The magic counterattack was triggered, and the stinging pain quickly disappeared after the judgment was revised.

Following the great priest of the church, Charlotte went deeper and deeper.

As it gradually deepened, the surrounding sacred power became more intense, and the number of priests coming and going also increased.

Priests of the Silver Moon level can be seen almost everywhere, even Chi Yang's are not uncommon, Charlotte's eyelids twitched wildly.

After turning left and right for about ten minutes, the high priest finally stopped in front of a simple prayer room.

"Your Excellency Count Castel, we have arrived."

He smiled at Charlotte.

After finishing speaking, he took a step forward, gently knocked on the wooden door of the prayer room, and said respectfully:

"My lord, the Earl of Castel has arrived."

"come in."

An old voice came from inside the door.

"Your Excellency, please."

The great priest stepped aside.

Charlotte took a deep breath and gently pushed open the wooden door.

The prayer room is very simple.

There is only one bookshelf, one table, and two chairs.

An old man in a white robe was sitting on a chair, quietly looking at the law code of the holy royal court.

He sat there very peacefully, like an ordinary old man.

However, in Charlotte's eyes, it was another scene.

"sun……"

This was the first thought in Charlotte's mind after seeing the dazzling divine power in the room.
