The high priest actually wants to make a deal with me and form a cooperative relationship?
Listening to the high priest's voice, Charlotte felt quite strange.
She really didn't know whether to say that the high priest was brave or unlucky for having the idea of seeking asylum come to her.
Charlotte's first thought was whether to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the high priest once and for all.
But the thought only flashed for a moment.
She gave up the idea when she sensed that the other party was calling her altar.
The altar is engraved with the symbol of thorns and roses, but the high priest is not her dependent. Even if she can keep the other person's soul in the Dark Night Castle, the altar in the secret room cannot interfere.
She can no longer attract too much attention from the Holy Royal Court.
Instead, she should next reduce her presence as much as possible.
Besides, there was no need for her to waste her strength on someone who was bound to perish.
Not only that, but listening to the high priest's thoughts, Charlotte was really interested in some of the other party's "transaction content".
She suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to obtain some more confidential information about the Holy Royal Court from the other party to enhance her understanding of the church and the gods.
She read a lot of books in the mission hospital, but many of the contents were obviously for external publicity and could not give Charlotte a true understanding of the Holy Royal Court.
Lottie is a new breakthrough, but Lottie is only a first-level priest, and her understanding of the Holy Royal Court is definitely not as great as that of a great priest.
Of course, she had no intention of protecting the high priest.
She just wanted to get some information from the other party...
Thinking of this, Charlotte chuckled and said in an ethereal voice:
"Mortal transactions?"
That voice was teasing, contemptuous, and aloof with a sense of amusement and disdain.
However, this reaction is quite normal in the eyes of the high priest.
Not only that, when he heard the evil god’s voice, he instantly became energetic:
"Yes, deal! I want to exchange the information of the Holy Royal Court for your protection..."
After saying that, the great priest lowered his head anxiously, waiting for the evil god's response.
Charlotte, on the other hand, slowly knocked on the armrest of the throne and did not answer immediately.
Rhythmic knocks continued, and the stalwart figure on the throne was silent. The high priest felt that every knock seemed to hit his own soul, making him more and more nervous and apprehensive...
It wasn't until even he, who had always been calm, could no longer hold back, that the light and shadow in the crimson mist chuckled again:
"You are truly a daring fallen priest."
"But... with your bargaining chip, I'm afraid it's not enough to get asylum!"
"If you want to get asylum, you need to come up with more interesting things."
Although Charlotte was quite interested in the information about the Holy Royal Court, she did not immediately agree to the other party's proposal.
In addition to the information about the Holy Royal Court, she felt that she might be able to learn more information from the other party...
On the other side, after hearing Charlotte's words, the high priest was not only not disappointed, but became excited:
"Great existence... So, what do you need me to do to gain your protection?"
Charlotte chuckled:
"This question...you need to ask yourself, what interesting news can you come up with in exchange for my favor."
After listening to Charlotte's words, the high priest fell into deep thought. On the other hand, Charlotte also felt that the time for her to "summon" the other party was coming soon.
The summoning time was so short that even Charlotte was caught off guard.
Obviously, with her current strength, it is still too reluctant to maintain the "summoning" of a third-level Blazing Sun, and this time is far less long than that of Sebas.
"Think about it carefully and call me by name for any news you know. When I am satisfied, you will welcome my gaze!"
Charlotte said solemnly.
After saying that, the crimson mist filled the air again, and the great priest felt that everything around him began to become blurry...
He quickly realized that the other party was about to end the summons.
"A majestic existence! How can I contact you! How can I call your name!"
He shouted quickly.
"You can call me, Dark Night..."
The ethereal voice gradually faded away, dissipating along with the crimson mist.
When the great priest's consciousness became clear, he found that he had returned to the secret room.
Thinking about the exchange he had just had with the Evil God, his expression suddenly changed.
Obviously, the evil god did not directly agree to the deal with him.
However, this evil god gave him a chance.
The high priest knows very well that although this evil god is also classified as an evil god, judging from his behavior, it is likely that he was once a righteous god in history...
And for such strange gods, what they say can usually be accomplished.
"It seems... I have to find a way to sort out various information about the church."
The high priest murmured, his expression full of expectation.
…
After the summons to the high priest ended, Charlotte also returned to reality.
However, unlike the anxious high priest, she was very calm.
What she said to the high priest was just what she said casually.
It would be good to hear some useful information from the high priest, which would allow her to take some initiative when facing the investigation from the Holy Royal Court.
But if she really doesn't have it, I won't force it.
She has no intention of protecting the other party, nor does she intend to summon him again in the future.
She has never regarded herself as a good person who keeps her word, and for a degenerate like the Great Priest, she will never truly fulfill her promise.
She just wanted to use this method to keep an eye on the other person.
She was also looking forward to seeing the shocked expression on the other person's face when he thought he was out of danger, but suddenly met his demise...
Thinking of this, Charlotte felt happy.
Charlotte poured herself another glass of hot milk and drank it down happily.
Then, she stretched out and prepared to go to her personal practice room to try out the various magics she had newly learned.
Opening the door again, Charlotte walked down to the second floor.
However, when she came to the lobby on the first floor, she saw all the boys and girls she had recruited from the outer city gathered here.
Dozens of people lined up on both sides, wearing uniforms.
Including the few maids she rescued from the Drunk Dream Salon, there were not many of them.
A cold-looking Shirley and Rand, who was already at the first level of Starry Stars, stood at the front. Shirley even used a cane.
Seeing them, Charlotte was slightly startled:
"What are you all doing here?"
After saying that, she looked at Shirley again and said dissatisfied:
"If you don't take good care of yourself, why are you running around again?"
Shirley pursed her lips.
Then, in Charlotte's somewhat surprised gaze, the proud maid suddenly leaned on crutches, knelt on one knee, and her cold voice was filled with emotion for the first time:
"The Earl of Castells, the merciful and just Lady Charlotte..."
"Your maid Shirley is willing to dedicate herself to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of boys and girls also knelt down on one knee:
"I am willing to offer my loyalty to you!"
Looking at the serious-looking young girl, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She knew that after experiencing the divine judgment and rescuing the maid in Drunken Dream Salon, she had finally gained everyone's loyalty.
If it was just relying on the favorable conditions and the charming effect of the majestic technique before, now, they truly recognized her as their master.
Sorry, I'm stuck again! The second update will be a little later, probably closer.
