Tome of Blood Chapter 61

  Chapter 61-61-The crisis of the Rose Society!

   As the largest religious force in the world of Myria, the Holy Royal Court has two extraordinary teams that are famous in the mainland.

  First, there are a large number of hunting houses with strongholds in various cities and even key villages and towns. They are managed by the local church and are responsible for cleaning up ghosts and protecting ordinary people.

  Its status is somewhat similar to the police station of the previous Celestial Dynasty in various countries that believe in the Holy Royal Court.

  A full member of a witcher is called a witcher knight.

  Compared to being feared and feared by others, Demon Hunter Knights often give ordinary people the feeling and impression of safety, justice and reassurance.

  Of course, the knights of the witcher have a higher degree of freedom than the clergy of the church, and many of them will do some private work like free mercenaries or wandering knights on weekdays, which is also tacitly approved by the church.

  Second, it is a trial house that is independent of the secular church of the holy royal court and is directly managed by the clerical state.

  Different from the Demon Hunting House, the Trial House has its own top-down independent management system. It has stations in major cities in various countries, responsible for supervising the church branches of each parish, and adjudicating heresy and evil forces.

  Its status in Miria is somewhat similar to that of Jinyiwei in the history of the previous Celestial Dynasty.

  The most famous trial house is the trial house knight.

  Compared to the Demon Hunter Knight, who is relatively close to the people and is even regarded as one of the ideals in life by many children with knight dreams, the reputation of the Judgment Knight is much worse in the world.

  Even the clergy of the local church, many of them turned pale when they talked about it.

  The average strength of the Judgment Knights is stronger than that of the Demon Hunter Knights, and the number is smaller, but all of them are fanatics, and they show no mercy to sinners, heretics, and evil forces.

   Belief in lunatics, neuropathy, bloodthirsty mad dogs, religious hawk dogs, cruel, bloody, ruthless... are all their labels in the eyes of the world.

  Judgment knight... Only recognize faith!

  The Tribunal will not be dispatched on weekdays, and its presence is very low.

   But once it is dispatched, it means that something big will happen, and someone will be unlucky.

   And every time, the result is either the downfall of some powerful priest, or the downfall of some great noble, or the complete annihilation of some underground secret cult group...

  Charlotte, who had already supplemented the relevant knowledge of the Holy Royal Court, quickly remembered the relevant information about the Tribunal, and stood up from her seat almost immediately.

   "Don't panic, speak slowly, what's going on? Why is Rose being targeted by the Judgment Office? How many Judgment Knights are dispatched?"

  Charlotte asked seriously.

"It's not too many. The old servant took a look from a distance. There are about twenty or so Judgment Knights in red clothes. Judging from the badges on their bodies, the highest should be the second rank of Silver Moon, and there are several of them. There are even more apprentice Judgment Knights." Many, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people..."

   Quasimodo said quickly.

   There is no Chi Yang third rank?

  Charlotte was a little surprised.

  According to the books, when the knights of judgment are dispatched, they often come out in full force.

  As far as she knew, the highest rank of the trial knights stationed in the Principality of Boulder was the same as the Duke and the Grand Priest.

   "Not all the knights of the trial were dispatched... It means that the matter has not reached the point of no return..."

   After finishing speaking, she asked again:

   "What the **** happened? Why did the Tribunal take action against Rose? The Rose Society is just an underground gang, and the local lord is in charge!"

  Only this time, Quasimodo looked a little at a loss, obviously...he couldn't answer this question.

   "No... I don't know... The old servant just saw the team of judge knights heading towards the outer city aggressively. On the way, they directly seized a shop of the Rose Society in the western city area and arrested all the shop assistants."

   Quasimodo said.

   After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth again:

  And... the old servant also saw some people in gray clothes, they are probably the Inquisition troops! "

  Inquisition Troops…

  Charlotte froze slightly.

  The Religious Judgment Troop is a secular troop directly under the Judgment Knight, composed of extraordinary people and ordinary people.

  In the records of the church, it is an ancient tradition left over from the history of the Holy Royal Court. When the Holy Royal Court fought on the mainland, it was the main force in the holy war.

  At that time, they had a famous name, known as the Holy Legion, with strict discipline and strong combat power.

  Of course, the Holy Royal Court is now the well-deserved overlord of the Miriam world, and the Holy Legion has no meaning of existence, so it has been reorganized into a local inquisition force.

  The local religious inquisition troops are nominally under the command of the trial knights and are responsible for assisting the work of the trial knights.

   However, in reality, the Inquisition troops need to obtain the unanimous consent of the trial knights and the local church chief before they can be dispatched, and their presence is very low on weekdays.

  In other words... the High Priest also agreed with the action against the Rosary Society.

   "Quasimodo, hurry up and contact Frank and the others, and ask them to move to Castel Manor as soon as possible. If the distance is too far, find a place to hide quickly, and don't be affected by the fish in the pond!"

   "Also... inform the Rose Society, although they should already know, but we still inform, those who can evacuate, evacuate as soon as possible!"

  Charlotte said with a serious expression.

  Since even the shops of the Rosary Society have been seized, this shows that the court is likely to plan to wipe out the Rosary Society.

  For Old Frank's peripheral personnel who were taken in by the Rose Society, it is very likely that they are also within the scope of the attack!

  The girl paced in the study, thinking, and continued:

   "There has been no news from Sebastian... I don't know if it has something to do with it."

   "Fortunately, the trial knights will only target extraordinary people, and Frank and the others should only face the arrest of the Inquisition troops..."

   "Bring more of our family uniforms! Let them change them! Now everyone in Boulder knows that we are protected by the church, and even the Inquisition troops dare not mess around!"

  Charlotte thought for a while and said.

  However, Quasimodo turned pale after hearing the girl's words.

   He gritted his teeth and said:

   "No... you can't take the uniforms of the family, you can only transfer them as quietly as possible..."

   "If the inquisition troops see our uniforms, I'm afraid the family will suffer too!"

  Charlotte frowned:

   "Why? They still dare to take action against the nobles protected by the church? Even if they are adapted, they used to be a strictly disciplined holy army!"

   Quasimodo hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to explain it to the girl, but the black cat Niss suddenly jumped in from the window and said seriously:

   "Of course they dare."

   "Because...they are no longer the principled and disciplined holy legions you know from the church books."

   "It's better to say... the reputation of today's religious inquisition troops is much more stinky than that of the Inquisition. It is even said that the reputation of the Inquisition and the Knights of Judgment was corrupted by them."

  Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, then her expression froze:

   "How to say it?"

  Nice sighed softly:

   "Everything has a day of corruption, and so does the Holy Legion..."

   "They used to be the most proud jihadist legion of the Holy Royal Court, but after being reorganized into the local trial legion, many people lost their goals and motivation, and chose to leave the legion.

   "Later, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, Nero IV, the thirteenth chief priest of the Holy Royal Court, reformed the local judicial force, announcing that sinners willing to atone for their sins could be recruited into the army."

   "That is a group of people who have no freedom. They have signed a soul contract. They are also a group of cannon fodder. They are a group of prisoners, criminals and even former heretics who voluntarily became members in order to escape religious trials!"

   "Their addition has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Inquisition Troops, even surpassing the period of the Holy Legion, but what followed was deteriorating discipline..."

   "The current local trial army is like a group of religious slaves. In the eyes of the trial knights, there is no human rights. The final outcome is to die in the religious trials again and again..."

   "They are so crazy that no one can restrain them except the Judgment Knights. They are a group of unscrupulous lunatics who are more disgusting than the Judgment Knights!"

  After listening to Nice's words, Charlotte's expression changed.

  The boys and girls have not returned for a long time, and they may have already met the local inquisition forces.

   "Help me prepare the carriage, I want to go to the cathedral to meet the great priest immediately!"

  The girl immediately made a decision.

   "As ordered..."

   Quasimodo saluted, and then hurried out of the study.

   "I thought you would decide to go to the outer city immediately."

   Jumping to Charlotte's side with a whoosh, Nice said unexpectedly.

   "I'm not that stupid."

  Charlotte glanced at it, rang the bell to call the maid, and changed her clothes for the trip.

  Of course she was extremely worried about the teenagers, girls, Frank and others.

  However, she knew that at this time, she should be calmer.

  If she didn't figure out anything now, and went to the outer city rashly, not only would she not be able to solve the problem, but she might also put herself in danger.

   To untie the bell, there must be someone who tied it, and she had to start with the church.

  Although the High Priest has no direct jurisdiction over the Judgment Knights, as the highest clergyman of the Holy Royal Court in the Duchy of Boulder, he can still have a say in the sacred rulings of the local groups.

   Not to mention, the great priest also has certain control power over the local inquisition forces!

  The high priest still needs Castel's help to compete for the post of priest. It's nothing more than spending more Quintana. As long as he is willing to spend money, Charlotte is confident in persuading him to stop the divine judgment of the Tribunal.

   After thinking about it, she took out another stack of parchment from the desk and put it in her arms.

"what is this?"

  Nice the black cat probed his head.

  Charlotte took a look at it:

   "The materials prepared for the whitewashing of the Rose Society, I wanted to use them fully in the future, it seems... now I have to use them in advance."

  Now that she has decided to take Sebastian in as her housekeeper, Charlotte has of course considered how to cleanse the underground gang of the Rose Society.

   After all, she is an aristocrat, and the Rose Society is a gangster. It is unreasonable to mix them together on the bright side, and it is likely to become a target for other nobles to attack her.

   These days, she spends her free time sorting out these things. Fortunately, the Rose Club is also considered a success. Although there is a lot of **** behind her butt, she has done a lot of good things. The so-called good and evil.

  The spring and autumn brushwork to wash the rose will be white, which is not difficult for the keyboard man in the previous life.

   This time I went to visit the great priest, and I happened to be able to deal with this matter once and for all!

   Under the service of the maid, Charlotte changed into clothes suitable for traveling, and specially selected a holy white dress.

   Then, she boarded the prepared carriage.

   "Meow! I'm going too!"

  Nice yelled, and also jumped into the carriage.

  Charlotte glanced at it and didn't stop it.

  Although this guy is unreliable, in terms of understanding of the church, no one in the entire manor can compare to him, and bringing it may bring unexpected gains.

  The carriage moved, carrying a person and a cat, and rushed towards the cathedral in the eastern city...
