Tome of Blood Chapter 144

Chapter 144-143-The Nervous Priest

Castell's convoy stayed in Boulder City for two days before leaving.

After that night, Baron Sharon didn't ask Charlotte the same question again, and the matter of dedicating the land to the church seemed to have been forgotten by him.

From the vague attitude of the other party, Charlotte guessed that the other party should already know that she did not sign a contract with the church, so she probably realized that she was only temporarily taking advantage of the church.

The other party didn't ask any more questions, and Charlotte couldn't explain.

No, it should be said that even if asked, she would not explain, so as not to leave a clue.

This is good, at least the baron can bring his attitude back to the territory, and it can also temporarily reassure those vassals who have never met.

The convoy left, and Castel Manor returned to its former calm.

After getting the money, the first thing Charlotte did was to send Quasimodo to redeem all the collections he had sold.

She is still thinking about this matter, and she made a promise to the old servant Quasimodo, and naturally she will not break the promise.

After that, Charlotte's daily life returned to the old routine.

Worship and exercise~www.mtlnovel.com~In addition to the content of the training has more new talents and spells~www.mtlnovel.com~The content of the new territory has more information, and at the same time spend time every day investigating and pondering to increase divine power In addition to the means... it is no different from the past.

No way, as time passed, the death of the great knight gradually fermented, and the vision of the night when Charlotte's ancestor was liberated was also mentioned again one after another.

She has to keep a low profile.

Especially after a transcendent judged that the vision that night was indeed the descending Balrog...

After that, it became lively.

Even if the church comforted them many times, it would inevitably make people curious about the existence that defeated the Balrog that night.

Some speculate that it is a passing legend, some speculate that it is an angel of the church, and some even speculate that it is the incarnation of the Lord Harald, but at the same time, some speculate that it is a mysterious evil god...

What's more, some people connected the two, wondering whether the death of the great knight of the Tribunal might also be related to the vision that night.

For a while, all kinds of speeches were rampant.

However, there is a saying that has been confirmed by the church.

That is, the vision that night was a conspiracy of the Gorefiend Cult, but it has been defeated by the church.

At the same time, with the revelation of Drunken Dream Salon, the Duke's Mansion also launched a purge and hunt for the relevant noble families...

There is a good reason for the cleansing, to participate in the evil and depraved Drunk Dream Salon, and to collude with the Blood Demon Sect!

This shifted the attention of the residents to the nobles.

There is no citizen who is unwilling to watch the fun of the nobles and gentlemen, especially this kind of "sweeping black and evil"-like cleansing.

For a while, the reputation of the Bold family continued to rise along with the purge of the nobles involved, especially the duke's son Leno who led the team.

"Hehe, master, it seems that the old duke is laying the groundwork for His Excellency Leno's succession. This move is really good. It can not only attack the noble forces, protect the new duke, but also increase the authority of the new duke..."

"I even doubt now, whether the old duke knew about Drunken Dream Salon a long time ago and had such a plan."

Pouring a cup of hot milk for Charlotte who was reading the "Holy Code", Sebas sneered.

Charlotte shook her head slightly:

"Let him go for now, no matter what the original intention is, cleaning up these noble moths is also a good thing."

"But it's not just about cleaning up moths, honorable master. According to your order, I secretly ordered the Rose Society to track down those nobles who were hit. Most of them are indeed participants in the Drunken Dream Salon, but there are also many innocent people."

"Obviously, the old duke is taking advantage of the cleansing of the nobles involved in demons to suppress dissidents."

Sebastian said.

"What happened to the affected nobles?"

Charlotte asked.

"Most of them are actually not clean at all, but there are also some good people, but they were suppressed by the old duke because they were the opponents of Leno's successor. These people... the Rose Society tried their best to help them escape."

"Do you keep the evidence?"

"Of course, keep them all."

"Very good. After the evaluation team from the Holy King's Court arrives, hand it over to Captain Kara along with the materials of the great priest."

Charlotte said.

Besides, after experiencing so many changes, the Holy Royal Court did not send the priests down to check immediately.

At first, Charlotte was a little confused.

She was ready to deal with the legendary clergyman, but many days passed without even a message.

Charlotte didn't know what happened until the "information" from the great priest.

It turned out that not long after she thwarted the plan of the Gorefiend Sect, the parish priest of the Crescent Parish of the Holy King's Court changed.

The transfer of power from old to new is bound to be accompanied by more or less confusion.

In addition, although Boulder had an accident, the incident was "successfully suppressed" by the church, and the high priest was also constantly sending the signal "nothing happened here", so... the above did not send anyone immediately down.

But not sending people down immediately does not mean not sending people down.

Bold's vision is well known and cannot be concealed.

After the newly appointed Archbishop of the diocese gave instructions, the task of investigating the incident of the Blood Demon Cult in the Principality of Boulder happened to fall on the evaluation team that was coming to the Principality for evaluation.

As for the evaluation team... that is the team of the holy royal court to evaluate the work of the priests. It is jointly formed by the knights of the court and the priests of the church. It specially inspects the candidates when they are competing for the post of priest.

In other words, the evaluation team is here for the great priest, specifically to assess whether the high priest is qualified to be the officiant.

This is the last step before the officiant can compete for the post. As long as it is successfully completed and passed the vote of the judging officiant group, the great priest may realize his dream of officiant.

The great priest was both happy and worried.

Happily, after his hard work and a little bit of luck, the Holy Royal Court probably won't send Legendary down to investigate.

What is worrying is that the investigation task falls on the evaluation team, and the investigation on him will only become more stringent.

Although he has tried his best to manage all parties, the evaluation team should not have been too difficult for him.

But the newly added investigation task disrupted his plan at once.

Without him, the evaluation task is led by the priest of the church, while the investigation task is led by the judge.

In order to balance power, the diocese simply appointed a new chief judge, an upright and highly experienced princess priest.

The other party is also at the third level of Chiyang, even much stronger than the great priest.

"Great God of the Night, humble Linus begs for your protection, help me pass the exam smoothly..."

Facing the altar, the great priest prayed respectfully.

After praying, he did not forget to take out the various church secret materials he had collected and read them one by one in front of the altar.

No way, the God of the Night disdains to accept sacrifices (in fact, he won't), so he can only transmit information in this way.

After reading the information, looking at the slightly flickering candlelight, the great priest felt more at ease.
