-5- Archpriest of the Diocese

Charlotte was quite surprised that there were no visitors.

To be honest, she didn't believe that she had really been forgotten. The Castel family's motorcade was still very powerful. It was impossible for the nobles in the royal capital not to know about it. As the leader of the Boulder-Castell War,

Winner, she is destined not to be a small role that can be ignored at the central meeting.

Standing in front of the window sill, Charlotte looked at the deserted streets outside the manor.

Perhaps it was because the manor was relatively remote in the inner city and there were few pedestrians on the street. However, when Charlotte stood in front of the window, her keen sense made her feel like she was being spied on.

Feel.

That feeling is very strong, and...it doesn't come from just one place.

Although she was just standing in front of the window sill, facing the deserted street, Charlotte felt as if she was in the spotlight and being watched by many eyes.

And when she follows this spiritual sense and looks in various directions, the feeling of being spied on in that direction will correspondingly weaken...

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She calmly mobilized a trace of the divine power of blood and communicated with the "Holy Scripture of Blood" in her consciousness.

After fusing the idol, her control of the "Blood Sacred Book" became even more flawless. With the mobilization of divine power, Charlotte's already extremely sharp spiritual sense was suddenly strengthened again.

In an instant, she "saw" the scene around the manor clearly, and "saw" the eyes that were hiding and observing everywhere with the manor she rented as the center.

One, two, three... Even if you just take a quick look, there are at least a dozen of them, and they obviously belong to different forces.

Charlotte:……

So, she really wasn't forgotten.

On the contrary, she is too important.

Just because no one comes to contact me doesn't mean that no one wants to contact me, but for some unknown reason, no one wants to be the first to contact me.

Everyone unanimously chose to watch in secret.

"Master, it seems... the situation in the royal capital is more subtle than we thought. The struggle between the king, the nobles and the church has probably reached a fever pitch here."

Sebastian was obviously aware of the problem and said calmly.

After listening to her housekeeper's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.

She squinted her eyes and suddenly smiled:

"It doesn't matter. Since no one is willing to visit, let's go out by ourselves."

Sebastian's heart moved:

"Where are you going?"

Charlotte glanced at him and said leisurely:

"How else could it be? As a devout holy believer, after arranging accommodation, of course I have to go to the church to pray."

Following Charlotte's order, everyone in the manor quickly became busy.

After finishing lunch, she got on the carriage and left her residence towards the cathedral in the royal capital.

And when the carriage drove out of the manor, Charlotte was keenly aware of the secret informants and immediately began to act together.

She clicked her tongue and smiled, but she was too lazy to pay attention to them.



Lutetia Cathedral is located in the west of the inner city of the royal capital, not far from Charlotte's rented manor, and across the river from the royal palace and the Central Parliament. It is also a typical Siuniate-style building.

As the center of the Crescent Diocese, Lutetia Cathedral is also the largest church in the entire Crescent Kingdom, receiving thousands of holy believers from all over the country every day.

Charlotte did not pay a formal visit to the church as a member of the Castel family, but drove there directly as a believer.

But even so, the cathedral received her solemnly after hearing the news.

In front of the cathedral door, priests wearing divine robes were seen lined up on both sides. It seemed that they had already received the news and were ready.

The priest who greeted him was dressed in white divine robes and wore a sun badge on his chest.

That is the sign of the blazing sun.

The person who greeted Charlotte turned out to be a great priest of the Blazing Sun level!

"Your Excellency Count of Castells, Lutetia Cathedral welcomes you. May the sacred glory be with you forever..."

"The high priest knew of your arrival yesterday and has been waiting for you in the church for a long time."

The high priest in a white divine robe drew a ring cross symbol on his chest and said with a smile.

Big...big officiant?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

In the Holy Royal Court, only the highest-ranking priest in the diocese can be called a high priest.

And...the strength is legendary.

In other words, from the moment she entered the royal capital, she had already registered with the big boss of the Crescent Parish of the Holy Royal Court.

This really caught people off guard.

You must know that the chief priest in the Holy Royal Court has always had a transcendent status, with greater power than the chief judge, and more noble status than the monarchs of many countries.

On weekdays, except for kings and legends, few people could see him on other occasions other than public events. Even ordinary dukes would find it difficult to meet him.

It was also for this reason that Charlotte dared to visit Lutetia Cathedral with such arrogance.

But now, the other party is waiting for Charlotte in the cathedral, and it sounds like she has been waiting for a long time.

Caught off guard, really caught off guard...

Charlotte did not expect that she would avoid the Grand Inquisitor and Cardinal Priest who went to the Northland to investigate, but after arriving in the royal capital, she would directly bump into the Arch Priest of the diocese!

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte suppressed the shock in her heart.

calm……

Must be calm!

Although she didn't expect that the chief priest of the diocese would actually meet her by name, she had not made any preparations to meet the legendary priest!

And... you have to believe in the powerful divine countermeasure ability of "Blood Sacred Book"!

With this thought in mind, Charlotte quietly activated the "Blood Scripture" and tried her best to cover up her vampire aura.

Then, she cheered up, smiled slightly, drew a cross on her chest, and said with a pious expression:

"Praise the Holy One! It is an honor for me, Castel, to be summoned by the High Priest..."

Seeing Charlotte's expression, the high priest of the church's expression became softer and softer.

He gave Charlotte a slight greeting, and then guided Charlotte deeper into the church.

Following the high priest of the church, Charlotte entered the interior of Lutetia Cathedral.

After entering the church, Charlotte only felt a slight tingling sensation on her skin. Her heart skipped a beat and she soon realized that the sacred power in the cathedral was too strong.

After all, she is a vampire and is restrained by the divine power. Even with the plug-in "Blood Sacred Code", she is still a vampire in essence.

However, perhaps because of the fusion of ancient idols, her resistance to sacred power is much stronger than in the past. If she had just traveled through time, the strong sacred power in the church would have purified her on the spot.

.

Fortunately, with the spread of divine power, the "Blood Sacred Scripture" quickly responded automatically.

The magical counterattack was activated, and the stinging pain quickly disappeared after the judgment was modified.

Following the high priest of the church, Charlotte went deeper and deeper.

As it goes deeper, the surrounding sacred power becomes more intense, and the number of priests coming and going increases.

Silver Moon level priests can be seen almost everywhere, even Blazing Sun priests are not uncommon, which made Charlotte's eyelids twitch wildly.

After walking around for almost ten minutes, the high priest finally stopped in front of a simple prayer room.

"Your Excellency Count Castells, we are here."

He smiled and said to Charlotte.

After saying that, he took a step forward, gently opened the wooden door of the prayer room, and said respectfully:

"Master High Priest, Count Castel has arrived."

"come in."

An old voice came from inside the door.

"Your Excellency, please."

The high priest gave way.

Charlotte took a deep breath and gently pushed open the wooden door.

The prayer room is very simple.

There is only a bookshelf, a table, and two chairs.

An old man in white robes was sitting on a chair, quietly reading the code of the Holy Royal Court.

He sat there, very peaceful, like the most ordinary old man.

However, in Charlotte's eyes, it was a different scene.

"sun……"

This was the first thought in Charlotte's mind after seeing the dazzling divine power in the room.
