Charlotte never intended to let go of the high priest.
However, she didn't plan to take action directly.
The death of a great knight has a big enough influence, but if another great priest dies, it will almost obviously tell the Holy Court that Bold has a big problem.
By then, the investigating priests sent by the Holy Royal Court will be of legendary level.
Not only does she have to deal with potential threats, but she also has to prevent herself from falling into greater danger.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Sebastian asked respectfully.
"Of course... we are going straight to Huanglong."
The girl said calmly.
In the night, Charlotte stood on the eaves of the bell tower in the outer city, her eyes falling on the darkest part of the city in Boulder.
The red-gold pupils are still shining with brilliance, and the long silver hair is swaying in the night wind.
…
Lottie slowly woke up from the darkness.
She found herself in a dark dungeon, with her holy power completely sealed.
Drunk Dream Salon?
This was Lottie's first thought.
But soon, this idea was overturned by her.
As a priest who has followed Count Tulip for seven years, she is very familiar with that dirty and depraved place.
The cells here looked more shabby and ancient, and they still gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but they were definitely not the underground prisons of Drunken Dream Salon.
And when she saw the Blood Demon Cultist standing guard at the door of the cell, although she had already had a premonition, she still felt slightly depressed:
After all... was it discovered?
Lottie was not surprised that she was imprisoned.
No, in other words, when she secretly saved the girls who were targeted by the Drunken Dream Salon again and again, and when she immediately notified the Rose Club branch in the western city after reporting the Rose Club, she was already angry.
The Count Tulip was imprisoned and awakened.
In fact, she was surprised that she had secretly ruined so many things in the salon over the years without being discovered.
It was as if someone was protecting her in secret. Not only was she not suspected, but she was increasingly trusted.
Lottie sometimes feels quite stupid.
It is obvious that he hid his identity and approached Earl Tulip in order to investigate the truth about the Balrog disaster ten years ago. It was obvious that he wanted to find and save his sister whose life or death was uncertain. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to be ruthless in order to achieve his goal...
…
But when she saw those suffering girls, she couldn't help but feel shaken and subconsciously took action secretly.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of guilt.
Although she has investigated clearly that her father was controlled ten years ago, it is a fact that thousands of young girls died at the hands of their own families.
She is in pain.
Very painful.
After seven years of lurking, she wanted to expose everything about Zuimeng Salon more than once, but she knew that she couldn't do it.
Sisters are connected. She knows that her only relative in this world, the sister who protected her at a critical moment ten years ago, is probably still under the control of the Blood Demon Order.
She knew that her sister must have been contaminated. If everything here was reported to a higher-level church, her sister might also be purified...
Not to mention, she didn't know who she should trust.
Even the high priest is in cahoots with Count Tulip.
Is the higher church worthy of trust?
Lottie didn't know.
In the past seven years, she has seen too many nobles being dragged into the trap by Earl Tulip.
She has seen too many people who are described as benevolent and noble, but secretly they are so dirty and cruel.
She has also seen more than one waiter who couldn't stand the Drunk Dream Salon and chose to report it to the church and the Duke's Palace. However... all those who reported it ended up miserable.
The message delivered to the church will eventually return to Count Tulip.
The news delivered to the Duke's Palace did not even reach the Duke's desk.
Year after year passes, Drunken Dream Salon still exists.
Lottie knew that her power was too weak.
She can't change the situation at all.
She could only save as many girls as possible, and she could only investigate the whereabouts of her sister as quickly as possible...
But now it seems that maybe this is coming to an end.
"Did my report to the Rose Society be discovered by the Count..."
Lottie couldn't help but think.
However, the next moment, an old and hoarse chuckle suddenly sounded outside the cell:
"Discover? No, you should thank your sister. Because of her secret help, Earl Tulip never discovered your little tricks. What's more... In fact, you didn't save as many girls as you thought. After all, many times,
The object you save does not exist, it is just a memory that you deceive yourself and others."
Lottie was stunned and looked outside the cell, only to see a rickety figure shrouded in darkness slowly emerge.
That's the high priest of the Blood Demon Order!
"Yes, it's me, Miss Lottie, no, or... Countess Broglie."
The high priest smiled slightly.
Lottie's moment of horror:
"Can you hear what I'm thinking?!"
However, the Blood Demon High Priest did not answer her question directly.
The high priest simply entered the cell and looked at her condescendingly, with mockery and pity in his superior eyes:
"Countess Broglie, do you always feel that you are always following your own will?"
"In order to investigate the truth ten years ago, you approached Earl Tulip. In order to investigate the life and death of your sister, you lurked in the Drunken Dream Salon..."
"Haha, then...have you ever thought that you have always been a puppet on strings?"
After hearing the words of the high priest, Lottie's eyes widened:
"What do you mean?"
The high priest smiled:
"literal meaning."
"Countess Broglie..."
"Don't you ever have any doubts about your ability to survive ten years ago?"
"Don't you ever feel a little unnatural that you would subconsciously select Count Tulip as a suspect and approach him secretly?"
After hearing what the high priest said, Lottie was stunned.
Then, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and her face turned slightly pale:
"Domination Technique!"
"You...you used the blood demon's control technique on me!"
Domination.
One of the vampire's innate magics.
Ability to control other people's thoughts and modify other people's memories.
This time, it was the high priest's turn to be surprised:
"Huh? It seems that you have discovered more things than I thought after so many years of investigation..."
"Yes, I did use the control technique on you. It started very early."
"Haha, Countess Broglie, in a sense, you sisters should all call me your benefactor. After all...if it weren't for me, you two would have died ten years ago."
"Sister? Sister is still alive?!"
Lottie stood up subconsciously.
"Of course she's still alive. Why, do you want to see her?"
