Castel's motorcade stayed in Boulder City for two days and then left.
After that night, Baron Chalon did not ask Charlotte the same question again, and the matter of donating land to the church seemed to have been forgotten by him.
From the vague attitude shown by the other party, Charlotte guessed that the other party should have already known that she had not signed a contract with the church, and therefore probably realized that she was only temporarily borrowing the church's power.
The other party didn't ask again, and Charlotte wouldn't explain.
No, it should be said that even if asked, she would not explain it, so as not to leave any clues.
This is good, at least the baron can bring his attitude back to the territory, and it can also temporarily reassure the vassals who have never met him.
After the convoy left, Castel Manor returned to its former peace.
After getting the money, the first thing Charlotte did was to send Quasimodo to redeem all the collections she had sold.
She was still thinking about this matter, and had promised her old servant Quasimodo that she would not break her promise.
After that, Charlotte's daily life returned to its usual routine.
Worship, exercise, read...
Apart from the fact that the training content now includes the newly acquired innate spells, the reading content includes the newly acquired territory information, and at the same time, I have to spend time investigating and pondering the means to increase my divine power every day...it is no different from the past.
There was no way, as time went by, the death of the great knight gradually became more and more fermented, and the visions on the night of the liberation of True Ancestor Charlotte were mentioned again one after another.
She must keep a low profile.
In particular, some extraordinary people judged that the vision that night was indeed after the coming of the Balrog...
It got lively after that.
Even if the church comforted him many times, it would inevitably make people curious about the existence that defeated the Balrog that night.
Some speculated that it was a passing legend, some speculated that it was the divine envoy of the church, and some even speculated that it was the incarnation of the Lord Harald. But at the same time, some also speculated that it was the mysterious evil god...
What's more, some people connect the two, wondering whether the death of the Grand Knight of the Tribunal may also be related to the vision that night.
For a time, all kinds of comments were rampant.
However, there is one theory that has been confirmed by the church.
That is, the vision that night was a conspiracy of the Blood Demon Order, but it had been foiled by the church.
At the same time, with the revelation of the Drunken Dream Salon, the Duke's Palace also launched a purge and pursuit of the relevant noble families...
The reason for the purge is very good. Participate in the evil and depraved Drunken Dream Salon and collude with the Blood Demon Order!
This actually shifted the residents' attention to the noble gentlemen.
There is no citizen who doesn't want to watch the aristocratic gentlemen having fun, especially this kind of "cleansing out crime"-like purges.
For a time, the reputation of the Bold family continued to rise with the purge of the nobles involved, especially Lenore, the son of the Duke, who led the team.
"Haha, Master, it seems that the old Duke is paving the way for Lord Lenno's succession. This move is really good. It can not only attack the aristocratic power, protect the new Duke, but also increase the new Duke's authority...
"
"Now I even wonder if the old Duke has known about Zuimeng Salon for a long time and has such a plan."
Sebas sneered as he poured a glass of hot milk for Charlotte who was reading the Sacred Code.
Charlotte shook her head slightly:
"Let him go for now. No matter what his original intention is, it is also a good thing to clean up these noble moths."
"But it's not just about cleaning out the moths. Honorable Master, according to your order, I secretly ordered the Rose Society to track down the nobles who were attacked. Most of them are indeed participants of the Drunken Dream Salon, but there are also many innocent people."
"Obviously, the old Duke is taking advantage of the purge of demon-related nobles to suppress dissidents."
Sebastian said.
"What happened to the nobles who were affected?"
Charlotte asked.
"Most of them are actually not clean, but there are also some who are good people, but they were suppressed by the old Duke because they were opponents of Leno's successor. These people...the Rose Society helped them escape as much as possible."
"You've kept all the evidence, right?"
"Of course, keep them all."
"Very good. When the evaluation team from the Holy Royal Court arrives, hand it over to Captain Kara along with the information about the high priest."
Charlotte said.
Moreover, after experiencing so many changes, the Holy Royal Court did not immediately send a priest down to check.
Charlotte was a little confused at first.
She was fully prepared to deal with the legendary priest, but many days passed without even a single message.
Charlotte didn't know what had happened until she received the "intelligence" from the high priest.
It turned out that not long after she foiled the Blood Demon Order's plan, the Archpriest of the Holy King's Crescent Parish was replaced.
The handover of old and new power is bound to be accompanied by more or less chaos.
In addition, although something happened in Boulder, it was "successfully suppressed" by the church, and the high priest was constantly sending signals to the higher ups that "nothing happened here", so... the higher ups did not send an immediate response in the end.
People come down.
But if we don't send people down immediately, it doesn't mean we won't send people down.
Bold's vision was well known and could not be concealed.
After the newly appointed archpriest of the diocese gave instructions, the task of investigating the incident of the Blood Demon Order in the Principality of Bold fell on the evaluation team that was coming to the principality for evaluation.
As for the evaluation team... it is the team of the Holy Royal Court that evaluates the work of priests. It is jointly formed by the knights of the trial and the priests of the church. It is specially used to examine candidates when they compete for the position of chief priest.
In other words, the evaluation team is here for the high priest, specifically to assess whether the high priest meets the qualifications to be the chief priest.
This is the last step before the competition for the chief priest. As long as it is completed successfully and passes the vote of the judging committee, the high priest may realize his dream of being the chief priest.
The high priest was both happy and worried.
Fortunately, after his hard work and a little luck, the Holy Royal Court will most likely not send Legend down to investigate.
What is worrying is that the investigation task falls on the evaluation team, and the investigation against him will only become more stringent.
Although he had tried his best to manage all aspects, the evaluation team should not have made it too difficult for him.
But the newly added investigation mission suddenly disrupted his plan.
Otherwise, the evaluation tasks are led by the church priests, while the investigation tasks are led by the judges.
In order to balance the power, the diocese simply appointed a new chief examiner, an upright and experienced princess priest.
The opponent is also at the third level of Blazing Sun, and is even much stronger than the Great Priest.
"The great god of the night, the humble Linus prays for your protection and helps me pass the exam smoothly..."
Facing the altar, the high priest prayed respectfully.
After praying, he did not forget to take out the secret materials of various churches that he had collected and read them out one by one in front of the altar.
There is no way, the God of Dark Night disdains to accept sacrifices (in fact, he won't), he can only convey the message in this way.
After reading the information and looking at the flickering candlelight, the great priest felt somewhat at ease.
