-14- The temptation of the high priest(2/2)
This is a bit convoluted, but who makes Charlotte not understand the nature of the divine power of creation?
ignore
To understand the essence, it cannot be imagined in the spiritual world, so she can only adopt this tricky method.
But now looking at the expressions of several legendary priests, she must have succeeded.
Of course, this is not the end.
Next, it’s time to look at the acting skills.
Thinking of this, Charlotte's dazed vision gradually returned to clarity, and then she quickly showed a vigilant expression and took a step back.
She looked at the three priests warily, then quickly took out a hand crossbow from under her skirt, like a scared kitten, and made a counterattack posture vigilantly.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, what have you done to me?"
She looked at the leader of the New Moon High Priest, Ciel, and asked in a frightened and angry voice.
Chief Priest Charles didn't seem to expect Charlotte's reaction.
His scrutinizing gaze froze for a moment, and then he frowned slightly.
Grand Inquisitor Bernard and Demon Hunter Cardinal Joseph looked at each other.
Facing Charlotte's angry gaze, the Grand Inquisitor hesitated for a moment, and then quietly put the Eternal Sun behind him.
Cardinal Witcher tugged at his goatee, looking a little troubled and troubled.
In the end, it was High Priest Charles who spoke.
I saw him let out a long sigh and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, His Excellency Count Castells."
"The church received an anonymous report saying that you are related to the mysterious evil god "The God of Darkness" who resurrected in Boulder one year, and that you are a member of the God of Darkness."
"We had no choice but to make such a temptation after you entered the church, leading you into a magical illusion to determine your identity..."
"Anonymous reporting letter? God of the Night?"
Charlotte frowned, looking confused.
However, her heart skipped a beat.
Good guy, I was actually reported?
Who did this?
The existence and forces that knew her identity quickly appeared in her mind.
Finally, the name of an organization came to her mind...
Knowing that she is related to the "evil god" of Boulder.
And he was also hostile to her.
hiss……
Could it be those bastards from the Blood Demon Order?
Charlotte had a guess in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she looked puzzled, frowned, and said coldly:
"This is slander! My faith has always been firm, how could I be a member of the evil god?"
Chief Priest Charles nodded slightly and sighed:
"Judging from the results, we must have misunderstood..."
As he spoke, he drew a ring cross on his chest, and then under the somewhat surprised gazes of Grand Inquisitor Bernard and Demon Hunter Cardinal Joseph, he bowed slightly and apologized to Charlotte:
"Your Excellency Count Castells, we are deeply sorry for the shock this test has caused you. In order to express the church's apology, we will make corresponding compensation..."
"However, please understand that every appearance of the evil god will bring disaster to the world of order. In order to nip the danger in the cradle, even if there is a slight possibility, we must treat it carefully..."
Looking at the chief priest who apologized to her, Charlotte was also a little surprised.
As the highest clergyman of the Crescent Diocese and an extraordinary person with legendary strength, this attitude can be said to be very low-key.
【In view of the general environment,
You know, her apparent identity is just a count!
Of course, Charlotte had reason to believe that the reason why the high priest lowered his posture was because he saw "her power."
Considering her identity and the influence of the Holy Royal Court in the secular world, Charlotte no longer raised her eyebrows, but frowned slightly:
"I can understand the church's concerns, but it is unconvincing to doubt the faithfulness of believers just based on an anonymous reporting letter..."
listened
After Charlotte's words, the chief priest Charles sighed:
"Your Excellency, if you read the contents of the report letter, you may be able to understand the church's difficulties."
After saying that, he took out a piece of parchment letter from his arms.
Charlotte frowned and took the letter from the high priest's hand.
After browsing for a while, she suddenly felt guilty.
Otherwise, the report on her on this letter is too detailed.
Starting from Bold and ending with the Earl of Castells, although much of the content is just speculation, the description of her relationship with the "God of Night" is clear-cut and very convincing.
It seemed that this was written by someone who had dealt with her, and she was regarded as a member of the "God of Darkness". To be honest, Charlotte felt that if she were a priest of the church, she would also read this report letter.
I think there's something wrong with her.
There is no way, who knows that she is really the so-called "God of the Night"? Her whereabouts are consistent with the "God of the Night", and this letter points out everything.
After reading the letter, Charlotte had a pretty good guess as to the identity of the whistleblower.
No need to think about it.
It must have been done by the Blood Demon Order!
The only person who knows about the existence of gods behind her is the Fallen Star Bloodline, but the Fallen Star Bloodline wants to win over her.
The Ness clan also needs to regain control of the Fallen Star Kingdom, and needs her as an ally to fight against the church's interference. It will definitely not break its own arms.
However, the Ness blood descendant of Fallen Star had been infiltrated by the vampires of the Blood Demon Order before, and the Blood Demon Order must also have received information about Charlotte's identity as a "powerful god".
The Ness clan may still be unsure about Charlotte's relationship with the "God of Darkness", but the Blood Demon Order can definitely figure it out. They must have received information from the Ness clan and reported it to the church.
Thinking of this, Charlotte secretly made another note to the Blood Demon Order.
She sighed, handed the letter back to the chief priest, and then said with a wry smile:
"Your Majesty the High Priest, I understand. This letter is indeed very confusing. If I were to think about it in another person's shoes, maybe I would make the same choice as the church."
High Priest Charles nodded slightly and said gently:
"It's good that you can understand. Now that you can pass the test, it can be regarded as solving a major worry for us..."
After saying that, he looked solemn again and said seriously:
"Your Excellency, please forgive my offense again. Can you talk about what you just "saw" in the magical illusion?"
After hearing what the chief priest said, Charlotte was ready to lie.
However, when she saw the slightly twinkling brilliance in the other person's eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she became vigilant again.
That is the solidification magic [Eye of Truth] used by demon hunters to detect lies.
