"Your Excellency Bertrand de Chevalier, I should have said that no action should be taken against the Castel family before the Bank of China Council is convened!"
"I know that you were once the third prince's butler, loyal to him, and resentful of the Castel family, but even revenge must take time!"
"The meeting is about to be held, and everyone is paying attention to the Castel family. In order for the plan to go smoothly, we must keep a low profile these days!"
"Fortunately, I discovered something was wrong when I entered the city yesterday, otherwise everything would be in chaos when you take action next time!" Richard looked dissatisfied and scolded sternly.
Charlotte listened for a while before she realized that the other party was talking about the city gate guards who made things difficult for her when she entered the city yesterday, and it seemed that there were subsequent plots, but they were all blocked.
This was somewhat similar to some of her and Sebastian's speculations, and it wasn't particularly surprising. What surprised her was the identity of Richard de Gaston, the son of a duke, who was actually related to the Blood Demon Order.
, and he is also a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Order!
But this time, with the enhanced perception of the divine power of blood and divine possession, Charlotte also vaguely detected a loophole in the opponent's aura. Although the young son of a duke hid it well, it was still there.
But his bloodline aura was telling Charlotte that he might have been embraced for the first time just like Bertrand.
Of course, the Duke family has always been full of extraordinary items. Richard should have some kind of prop to conceal his aura, so Charlotte did not recognize his identity yesterday.
Charlotte was thoughtful, while Richard de Gaston's scolding continued: "Your Excellency Bertrand de Chevalier, Lord Albrecht asked me to tell you that he does not want to do anything like this.
See it for the second time! What he needs is an obedient descendant, not a disobedient descendant. He can give you eternal life, but he can also take away eternal life!"
"Do you...understand?" His voice was cold, and his words were full of warning. Charlotte remained calm.
She sighed, looked remorseful, and replied in an old and hoarse voice: "Your Excellency Richard, I was impulsive. I will actively cooperate with the apostle and no longer act alone." After listening to her words.
, Richard looked slightly calmer.
He nodded slightly and said: "As long as you know, the ceremony is coming soon. We can't lose the big because of the small. As long as our Lord's sacrifice ceremony can be successfully completed, let alone Castel, the entire Crescent Kingdom will return
In the arms of our Lord, even the Church of the Crescent Moon will be severely damaged by this!" A sacrificial ceremony for the Kingdom and the Church?
Could it be that... he wanted to take advantage of the central meeting to sacrifice the royal family, priests and nobles who participated in the meeting? Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
And Richard continued: "As for the Castel family... don't stare anymore. The sect has already secretly reported her information to the church. Naturally, the church will deal with her."
"Perhaps the gods behind her can help her cover up, but the Holy Royal Court... is not that easy to deal with. With her here, it can also help us contain a certain amount of the church's energy."
"The Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter Cardinal have already left for the North. Several other cardinals from the church are also scattered in various places. Currently, only Archpriest Charles is in charge of Lutecia. This is our best chance..." Charlotte:
...It seems that the Blood Demon Cult has not yet learned what happened in the church, nor does it know that the Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter Cardinal have not left at all.
If you think about it, you can understand that the three giants of the church personally
No one else was present when she was "tested", and the church was a restricted area of the Blood Demon Order, so it was normal not to know the information inside.
Now it seems that the Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter Cardinal are waiting for her not only because they value her, but also to deal with the Blood Demon Order.
But the Blood Demon Order... it's still not clear that the church has known about their little tricks. After thinking about it, Charlotte said in a deep voice: "I will pay attention and will not target Castel in the future." Richard nodded slightly.
: "I hope you will do what you say. After all, our ceremony is under the nose of the church. Above it is the Royal Square and the Parliament Hall, and not far away is the Lutetia Cathedral. The closer it is to the last moment, the more cautious we must be."
, the newly appointed High Priest of the Crescent Moon is not an easy character to deal with!" As he said this, the young nobleman began to paint the cake again: "Your Excellency Bertrand, Lord Albrecht has always made clear rewards and punishments, and he has always made good decisions.
You will naturally be rewarded for your internal affairs. After this ceremony, New Moon will usher in a vacuum of power. The Apostle will not forget your contribution. There will definitely be a place for you in the bloody palace in the future...
"Bloody Palace?"
Is the Blood Demon Order trying to imitate the Kingdom of Corea and try to subvert the rule of the Crescent Moon and secretly control the Crescent Kingdom like before?
Charlotte thought thoughtfully and almost guessed what the so-called sacrifice ceremony of the Blood Demon Order was. Otherwise, they had done a similar operation once in history when they subverted the Crescent Kingdom, and there were also relevant records in the church.
.
If her guess was correct, I'm afraid they planned to take advantage of the convening of the central meeting to sacrifice some nobles as sacrifices, while turning other nobles into blood descendants.
As for which nobles were sacrificed and which nobles became blood descendants... it naturally depends on the position of the nobles. The church has limited restrictions on the nobles, and it is not uncommon for nobles to be secretly connected to the Blood Demon Order.
Charlotte thought while showing a happy expression: "Please rest assured, Lord Apostle, I will definitely live up to the orders of the Order and will successfully complete the tasks assigned by Lord Apostle!" Richard nodded: "As long as you know.
."
"Also, don't forget Lord Albrecht's page collection work. If you have time, bring back the collected cursed pages." Cursed pages?
Fragmentary pages of the Holy Code?! Charlotte suddenly became energetic. Yes, the Blood Demon Order has always been very interested in the fragmentary pages of the Holy Code. Last year, just a Silver Moon priest in Boulder collected a lot of fragments. Now,
The blood demon cultists hidden in Lutecia are stronger and it is impossible not to collect these things.
And... listening to what the other party wanted, Dark Apostle Albrecht also gave Bertrand the task of collecting the pages!
After all, Bertrand is the blazing sun, so he must have gained something. Maybe... when Richard leaves, she should search Bertrand's manor!
Thinking of this, Charlotte became more and more excited, but she still didn't show it on her face.
"I know, I will send the collected pages as soon as possible." She said. Richard was very satisfied with her attitude.
After a few more instructions, the messenger of the Dark Apostle left. After confirming that she was the only one left, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and began to communicate with the Blood Scripture.
The Blood Sacred Scripture can resonate with the remaining pages of the Sacred Scripture within a certain distance. If Bertrand really collected the pages, she might be able to sense it!
In the dark night castle, the Holy Book of Blood bloomed with glory, and at the same time, Charlotte also felt a kind call coming from not far away.
Found it! She must have it in her heart. ——Sorry, I fell asleep while typing last night, so I will post 2,000 words first.
