Tome of Blood

Chapter 364 -20- The Messenger of the Dark Apostle

"His Excellency Bertrand de Chevally, I should have said that before the Bank of China Council is convened, the Castel family must not be shot!"

"I know that you used to be the steward of the third prince, you were loyal to him, and you have a grudge against the Castel family, but even if it's revenge, you have to divide your time!"

"The meeting will be held soon, and everyone is paying attention to the Castel family. In order to plan smoothly, we must keep a low profile these days!"

"Fortunately, I found something wrong when I entered the city yesterday, otherwise everything will be messed up when you make a follow-up move!"

Richard looked dissatisfied and reprimanded him sharply.

Charlotte listened for a long time before realizing that the other party was talking about the difficulties of the city gate guards when she entered the city yesterday, and it seemed that there were follow-up plots, but they were all blocked.

This is somewhat similar to some of her and Sebastian's conjectures, and it's not particularly surprising. What surprised her was the identity of Richard de Gaston, the son of the Duke, who was actually related to the Blood Demon Sect , and he is also a senior member of the Gorefiend Cult!

And this time, with the enhanced perception of the divine power of blood and the possession of the gods, Charlotte also vaguely noticed a loophole in the other party's breath. But the breath of his blood was telling Charlotte that he, like Bertrand, had already been embraced for the first time.

Of course, the Duke's family has never lacked extraordinary items. Richard should be a prop with some kind of concealment, so Charlotte didn't recognize his identity yesterday.

Charlotte mused, while Richard de Gaston's reprimand continued:

"His Excellency Bertrand de Chevally, Lord Albrecht asked me to tell you that he doesn't want to see something like this a second time! What he needs is an obedient descendant, not a disobedient descendant, He can give you eternal life, but he can also take it back!"

"You...do you understand?"

His voice was cold, and his words were full of warning.

Charlotte remained calm.

She sighed, showing remorse, and replied in an old and hoarse voice:

"Your Excellency Richard, I was impulsive. From now on, I will actively cooperate with the apostle and stop acting alone."

After hearing her words, Richard's expression softened a little.

He nodded slightly and said:

"It's good that you know that the ceremony is just around the corner. We can't lose the big because of small things. As long as we can successfully complete the sacrificial ceremony of our lord, let alone Castel, the entire New Moon Kingdom will return to the embrace of our lord. Even the new Yue's church will also be severely damaged!"

Sacrificial rites against the kingdom and the church?

Could it be...to take advantage of the central meeting to sacrifice the royal family, priests and nobles attending the meeting?

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

And Richard went on to say:

"As for the Castel family...don't stare at her anymore. The church has already secretly reported her news to the church, so naturally the church will deal with her."

"Perhaps the gods behind her can help her cover up, but the Holy Royal Court... is not so easy to fool. With her, it can also help us contain a certain amount of energy of the church."

"The Grand Judge and Cardinal Hunter have already gone to the north, and the other cardinals of the church are also scattered in various places. At present, only the High Priest Charles is in charge in Lutecia. This is our best chance..."

Charlotte: ...

It seems that the Gorefiend Cult has not learned of what happened in the church, nor does it know that the Chief Inquisitor and Cardinal Hunter have not left at all.

It's understandable when you think about it. No one else was there when the Big Three of the Church personally "tested" her. The Church is also a restricted area of ​​the Gorefiend Order, so it's normal not to know the news inside.

Now it seems that the chief judge and Cardinal Hunter probably came to her door not only because of the importance they attached to her, but also because of the purpose of dealing with the Blood Demon Sect.

But the Gorefiend Cult... It's not clear that the church already knows about their tricks.

After thinking about it, Charlotte said in a deep voice:

"I will pay attention, and I will not target Castel in the future."

Richard nodded slightly:

"I hope you will do what you say. After all, our ceremony is placed under the eyes of the church. Above it is the Royal Square and the Council Hall. Not far away is the Lutetia Cathedral. The more we are at the last moment, the more we must be cautious. The newly appointed Priest of the New Moon is not an easy character to deal with!"

With that said, the young nobleman began to paint cakes again:

"Your Excellency Bertrand, Lord Albrecht has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. If you do your job well, you will naturally be rewarded. After this ceremony, the new moon will usher in a vacuum of power. Lord Apostle will not forget you Contribution, in the future bloody palace, there will definitely be a place for you..."

Bloody court?

Is the Gorefiend Cult trying to imitate the Kingdom of Koria, trying to subvert the rule of the New Moon as before, and secretly control the Kingdom of the New Moon?

Charlotte thought about it, and almost guessed what the so-called sacrificial ceremony of the Gorefiend Cult was.

Without him, they did a similar operation when they overthrew the New Moon Kingdom in history, and there are related records in the church.

If her guess is correct, they are probably planning to take advantage of the convening of the central meeting to sacrifice some of the nobles as sacrifices, while the other part of the nobles will be transformed into blood.

As for which nobles were sacrificed and which nobles became blood descendants... Naturally, it depends on the position of the nobles. The church has limited restrictions on the nobles, and it is not uncommon for the nobles to be secretly connected with the Blood Demon Sect.

While thinking, Charlotte showed a joyful expression:

"Please rest assured, my lord apostle, I will definitely not disappoint the entrustment of the religious group, and I will successfully complete the task assigned by my lord apostle!"

Richard nodded:

"As long as you know."

"Also, don't forget about Lord Albrecht's page collection work. If you have time, bring back those pages of the cursed pages you collected."

Cursed pages?

Remnants of the holy scriptures? !

Charlotte immediately regained her spirits.

That's right, the Gorefiend Cult has always been very interested in the broken pages of the holy scriptures. Last year, only a silver moon priest in Boulder collected a lot of them. Now the Gorefiend Cultists hidden in Lutetia are stronger, it is impossible These things are not collected.

And... according to the other party, Albrecht, the dark apostle, also handed over the task of collecting pages to Bertrand!

After all, Bertrand is a blazing sun, so he must have gained something, maybe... When Richard leaves, she should search Bertrand's manor!

Thinking of this, Charlotte became more and more moved, but she still didn't show it on her face.

"I see, I will send the collected pages as soon as possible."

she said.

Richard was pleased with her attitude.

After a few more words of advice, the emissary of the dark apostle left.

After confirming that she was the only one left, Charlotte squinted her eyes and began to communicate with the holy tome of blood.

The Holy Tome of Blood can resonate with the remaining pages of the Holy Tome within a certain distance.

If Bertrand really collected pages, she might be able to sense it!

In the Dark Night Castle, the Holy Tome of Blood bloomed with brilliance, and at the same time, Charlotte also felt a kind call from not far away.

found it!

She must.
