Tome of Blood

Chapter 350 -6- The Church's Invitation

The bright holy light is dazzling, and the rich sacred power is almost substantive.

The "Sacred Tome of Blood" almost started to operate on its own, secretly resisting the ubiquitous divine power.

Just standing in the prayer room gave Charlotte a strong sense of crisis. That sense of crisis was not malicious, but just because the other party was standing there.

When the power is strong enough, getting close to the other party means falling into crisis...

This is a legendary transcendent!

Charlotte's heart trembled.

It's not like she hasn't faced legendary powers before. When she was in Boulder, she once faced the Balrog Vallaroka, a member of the Gorefiend Duke Abaddon.

But even that time, Vala Roka did not bring her such a strong sense of crisis.

Charlotte knows that this sense of crisis may not only come from the opponent itself, but also from the strength of the opponent.

Legends are the eyes of myths...

Facing a legendary clergyman directly means entering the sight of the gods!

Fortunately, as far as Charlotte knew, most of the gods in the world, including God Lord Haral, actually fell into a deep sleep for some unknown reason.

Although the sleeping gods are different from ordinary people, the sleeping gods can also respond to the outside world and even cast their gazes, but at least... as long as she is careful, she won't attract the attention of the gods.

The strength is unequal and lacks the power to fight. Charlotte has no intention of entering the sight of God Lord Harald now.

Even if there was a previous "second time travel"!

Such thoughts are only fleeting.

Charlotte was full of thoughts, but she was calm in reality. She took a deep breath, drew a cross on her chest devoutly, and said respectfully:

"Charlotte de Castel . . . has seen the High Priest."

The old man put down the book slowly.

He raised his head, revealing a pair of calm and gentle eyes.

Those eyes seemed to carry some kind of profound power, as if they could see through everything.

"Don't be nervous, and don't need to be so formal, sit down."

He smiled slightly.

Charlotte is not hypocritical.

She saluted slightly, and then naturally sat down on the seat across the table.

The chief priest looked her up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Bernard is very curious about you. It has been a long time since there has been a girl favored by the Lord of God in Myria. After something happened in the north, he rushed there immediately. I didn't expect that it was me, a bad old man, who came first." I saw you."

Sir Bernard...

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

Bernard de Champagne.

She had done her homework in advance and knew that the High Priest was referring to the Grand Judge of the New Moon Diocese, the trial knight in charge of the diocese, and the ruthless man that Niss said had slaughtered gods with mortal bodies.

As for now...the other party should have gone to Castel Territory to investigate the warning of the town god bell.

Regarding how to deal with the church's investigation, although Charlotte was already prepared, she was still vigilant at this moment.

She showed an embarrassed expression, and said cautiously:

"The chief priest, it's all rumored by other people. I'm just an ordinary holy believer. It's nothing to be favored by the Lord God..."

The chief priest smiled, shook his head and said:

"No need to belittle yourself, my child."

"Your firm belief in our lord has long been recognized, and you have triggered my lord's miracles more than once. After inheriting the territory, you judged evil, expelled believers of evil gods, and spread the belief of our lord...the church knows all about these things. "

"Your devotion is comforting, your faith is admirable, and you are a true holy believer!"

The chief priest was gentle and kind, and he did not hesitate to praise in his words, expressing his admiration for Charlotte unabashedly.

However, Charlotte's heart was beating wildly.

She has indeed done a lot of things under the banner of the sacred royal court, and she has indeed caused many "miracles".

However, her family knows her own affairs.

The so-called trial of evil, expelling cultists, and spreading beliefs are all pretense. What she is really doing is to gather power and strengthen control over the territory.

As for the so-called "miracle"...

Seriously speaking, it was all the instinctive reaction of the divine light wanting to "purify" her "heresy", but she rewrote the judgment result by using divine magic countermeasures.

Leaving aside the "miracle" for the time being, to be honest, this is indeed quite deceptive. Many priests of the church regard her as a natural saint for this reason.

But the former...

Charlotte doesn't think the Church is a fool.

What she did in the Northland is actually easy to investigate. Although the Church in the Northland has been indirectly controlled by her through Priest Lottie, the Church is not blind.

Those truly pious lords will vigorously promote the sacred faith after succeeding to the throne, either donating money to the church, or assisting the church in organizing various missionary activities.

But she has never done anything like this since she took the throne.

They are all shouting slogans, but in fact they have not been implemented at all.

Those things which fell into place, though they struck down the heathen, were really to strengthen themselves.

The high priest paid so much attention to her, Charlotte couldn't believe that the other party hadn't investigated her at all.

Praising her so much at this moment made Charlotte vigilant.

Charlotte couldn't believe that the high priest came to her just to say this.

Sure enough, the chief priest smiled slightly, as if recalling something, and the admiration on his face was even greater:

"And your oath before the God Lord..."

"Since Pepin II, there have been no nobles who have made such a pious oath for nearly seven hundred years. Your oath has already been spread within the church, and even the chief priest, Nixia, has heard of it and praised your oath. Selfless and devout..."

Charlotte: ...

She knew that the high priest of the church would never look for her for no reason.

Those who come out to hang out have to pay back. In order to fight against Boulder's coveting of her own territory, and to drive away the flies that circled her, she pulled the church's banner, and now her retribution has finally come.

During this period of time, Charlotte had tried to downplay her original vow as much as possible, but she did not expect that the High Priest of the Crescent Parish would bring it up at this time.

Charlotte is not worried at all about offering soil after death.

It's a blank check, it's hard to say whether she died first or the church hiccupped first, the key is that these things are not easy to bring up at this juncture.

This will further plunge Charlotte into the vortex of power struggles in the New Moon Kingdom. Not only will it completely push her to the opposite side of the king and nobles, but it will also give the church an excuse to intervene in Castel's affairs!

It was only now that Charlotte finally realized that the seemingly detached and calm Holy Royal Court was actually very interested in Castel!

"my child……"

The chief priest smiled and said gently:

"Do you want to become a real saint?"

Sorry, fell asleep last night.

If I don't update one night, it is estimated that it will be postponed until the next day.
