Tome of Blood

Chapter 63 -63- Charlotte's Response

Charlotte soon emerged from the cathedral.

She knew that the great priest was unreliable.

This is very unusual.

The high priest's bid to be the officiant still needs Castel's support. She has talked about what she said just now, and she is still in the church hall, but the other party is still sloppy. This is a kind of cooperation that affects mutual trust. the behavior of.

The only explanation is that the great priest no longer cares about cooperation.

He has a better partner, or...he has given up on the Castel family.

And if this is the reason, and considering that the great priest did not tear himself apart on the surface, it seems that he still wants to make a gesture that the church is still sheltering Castel, which has to make Charlotte have More in-depth speculation -

Great Priest...I'm afraid that I have unilaterally reached a certain exchange of interests with the forces targeting her.

And maybe, the bargaining chip between the two parties is her and her family.

This bold judgment made Charlotte a little creepy.

After all, she speculated that the forces targeting her might be related to the Gorefiend Sect, and from this point of view, could it be that the great priest is also related to the Gorefiend Sect?

He is the highest clergyman in the Bold branch of the Holy King's Court!

No matter how depraved the church is, this world truly has gods!

Charlotte has also read the teachings of the Holy King's Court, which are indeed the teachings of righteous gods, and the general trend is to attract people to be good.

The power of believers comes from God, and if the church is corrupt and depraved, don't the gods just ignore it?

Could it be... wouldn't it affect the gods?

"The gods... don't they care that their beliefs are gradually deteriorating?"

After leaving the church, she couldn't help but say after all.

I don't know if it's talking to itself, or talking to the black cat following it.

"Hey, faith spoiled? Why should the gods care?"

"Gods are gods, beliefs are beliefs. Master Cat once heard someone say that gods are just a bunch of selfish parasites dressed in hypocrisy."

"As long as there are believers, they don't care about the deterioration of their beliefs!"

Parasites?

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

She couldn't help looking at Niss, and noticed the girl's gaze. The black cat suddenly felt that what she said was a bit offensive, and quickly corrected it with a dry smile:

"Uh...cough, Master Cat is not talking about you, and you don't live by faith..."

"Cat Lord refers to the gods who spread their beliefs on a large scale."

"You know a lot about gods?"

Charlotte was a little surprised.

"Eh... I know a little bit, I know a little bit, I just listen to other people's nonsense."

The black cat, Niss, was a little guilty.

"Are you really a believer in the God of Contract?"

Charlotte asked again.

"Uh, it should be... right?"

The black cat spoke cautiously.

Charlotte: ...

She looked at the black cat quietly, while Niss began to look away erratically and whistled to himself.

Charlotte was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly ordered:

"Go back and compile all your knowledge about the gods into a book, and then give it to me."

If you want to survive in the world of Miria, you still need to learn more about the real master of this world. Perhaps the black cat is a good breakthrough.

Through the matter of the great priest, Charlotte suddenly realized that perhaps she knew too little about the gods of this world, and might even have some misunderstandings about the relationship between faith and gods.

She always thought that only when priests strictly follow the beliefs of the gods can they gain the power of the gods.

The more powerful the priest, the more pious his inner belief, and the closer his behavior is to the teachings of the church.

This caused her to misjudge the actions of the great priest.

After hearing the girl's words, Nisi wanted to be sloppy again, but the mark of thorns and roses on his forehead suddenly flashed, making his face stiffen.

"Okay... okay."

It scratched its head.

After finishing speaking, it sighed again:

"Sigh... now I suddenly understand why many revived gods hide from their followers during the revived period."

"Why?"

The girl glanced at it.

"Look at you and you will understand. It seems that, as the rumors say, the recovery of the gods also has a price, such as the loss of memory or something..."

"Take you as an example. If you hadn't seen your power and your understanding of extraordinary power, if you didn't know...you might really be regarded as a real mortal."

"For a high-ranking god, surely he doesn't want his followers to see himself in such a down-and-out state?"

"I was originally a mortal."

Charlotte said lightly.

It's not something to hide.

She is really just a mortal, or rather, a vampire.

It's just that she has an artifact in her hand, and the artifact happens to recognize her as its master.

Perhaps this made her display some of the qualities of a god, but Charlotte never believed that she was really a resurrected god.

Perhaps in front of Sebas, who she didn't understand why she would pledge allegiance to her, she needed to disguise her identity as "Lady of the Night", after all... she was a real strong man.

But in front of the black cat whose life is already in her hands, she doesn't need to pretend.

However, after hearing what Charlotte said, Nice showed an expression of disbelief.

That expression seemed to say:

Look, you are here again, don't pretend, I understand and understand...

Charlotte: ...

She slowly withdrew her gaze from it, and did not continue to dwell on this issue.

Obviously, the High Priest is not as upright as everyone imagined, the highest priest of the Boulder Church has his own secrets.

Wanting to rely on the strength of the church to fight against the forces behind it is obviously not feasible.

In the final analysis, her own strength was too weak, so she had to rely on others to mediate among the major forces...

When she hadn't grown up yet, she faced the most powerful force and power in a principality...

Whether it's the Gorefiend Cult, the Duke's Mansion, the rich nobles, or the church, she can't face it without a powerful force.

It's like encountering a map boss before the Novice Village has even left.

However, Charlotte is not afraid, nor is she afraid.

On the contrary, it inspired her fighting spirit.

Yes, this start is difficult.

But the gods have long set rules for this world. Although the gap between extraordinary powers is huge, they must all operate within the rules.

The nobility has the rules of the nobility, the church has the rules of the church, and the rules are the political correctness in this world.

She still doesn't believe it.

There was really no way for him to fight his way through the treacherous situation in Bold, successfully inheriting the territory and flying away.

In this game, she wanted to revitalize it!

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.

It seems that... I still have to give full play to my current greatest advantage.

"I heard...the Demon Hunting House has always had a bad relationship with the Trial House?"

Charlotte asked suddenly.

"That's right. The Demon Hunting House and the Judgment House overlap to a certain extent in their responsibilities, but their philosophies differ."

"The Tribunal has always wanted to take the Demon Hunting House back for its own use, but the Demon Hunting Knights have always had only faith in their eyes, and many times they even find it hard to understand the Rigid Judgment Knights."

"You should also know that for mortals, the boundary between black and white is not so obvious. On this point, although under the jurisdiction of the church, the Demon Hunter Knight who often takes private jobs in private sees it much more clearly than the Judgment Knight. "

After listening to Nice's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.

After pondering for a moment, she said:

"Nice, I have something for you to do."

"What's the matter? Just tell me!"

The black cat straightened up.

"I'll give you 100,000 quintana to hire all the demon hunter knights that Boulder can get."

Nice: ...

It instantly widened its eyes and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva:

"Ten... one hundred thousand Quintana?!"

"Not enough?"

Charlotte frowned.

One hundred thousand quintana is the largest amount she can get in her account now.

A few days ago, she ordered Quasimodo to sell another collection, and now the family account has 130,000 quintana.

"No..., it's too much. If you just want to hire people, this money is enough for you to hire twenty or thirty entry-level superhumans for a month. If it's just one day, you can call three or four hundred entry-level people on the black market." It is very possible for those of the second rank, even those of the second rank of Silver Moon to be invited here... and they can completely afford to invite a large number of demon hunting knights... Of course, this is a theoretical situation."

Nice said.

Is it so expensive to hire a superhuman?

Charlotte was a little surprised.

But soon, she was relieved.

The power is crushed in all directions, and the status is equivalent to the lowest rank of nobles, so it is normal for the price to be expensive.

But... the most important thing in Castel Manor is money, and the collections in those few rooms are enough for her.

"If you don't have enough money, you can make a promise first, and I will allow you to go up without a cap."

Charlotte thought for a while and said.

Nice: ...

It had grown numb to the wealth of the Castells.

"Are you planning to use the Demon Hunter Knights to stop the Judgment Knights? With all due respect...you may be able to hire them to do some private work on weekdays, but such a big event as the Holy Judgment...they will definitely not participate."

Nice said.

"Then tell them that I have a great opportunity to slap the judge knights in the face. This holy judgment is already illegal. Let's see if they are willing to come."

"And... there is no need for them to attack the Judgment Knight, they just need to stand behind me and protect me and my retainers."

"Ask them if they would like to be a witness."

Charlotte said.

"Slapping the face to judge the knight?"

Nice was taken aback.

Suddenly, it seemed to have thought of something, and its eyes lit up:

"Oh oh oh! I see..."

"Hehe...hehehe...I see...hehehe...you are so bad...hehehe...but I like it..."

"It's just that the second level of Silver Moon is generally not short of money. It will be more difficult to invite them, especially Captain Kara. She has never been interested in hiring."

"Then tell her, I have news about the Blood Demon Sect."

Charlotte said lightly.
