Tome of Blood Chapter 62

  Chapter 62-62-The great priest...has a big problem!

   "Sorry... Lord Charlotte, the great priest said that he received divine revelation in his sleep last night, and he will pray all day today and will not accept any visits."

  In the cathedral in the eastern part of the city, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, the young apprentice priest blushed and lowered his head apologetically.

  Apocalypse?

  Charlotte frowned slightly.

   "Meow? Divine enlightenment? Don't be ridiculous, this is the seventh time that the great priest has received divine revelation this year. Isn't the great priest too much favored by the great divine master?"

  Behind the girl, Niss swayed the ball-like body, and said eccentrically.

  The trainee priest looked a little embarrassed.

  He didn't know how to answer for a while, and Nice shouted in the church with a loud voice:

   "My lord priest! I am Nice! Miss Charlotte from the Castel family is here to visit you!"

   "Regarding the previous Blood Demon case, Miss Charlotte remembered some details and wanted to report to you. It was about the evil of the Rose of Thorns..."

  Before Nice could say the word God, the door of the central prayer room was opened with a buzzing sound, and the figure of the great priest Linus de Caen appeared in front of everyone.

  With a dark face, he looked coldly at the black cat holding the word "God" in his mouth, and scolded dissatisfiedly:

   "The church is important, what are you making so much noise about?"

  Seeing the great priest appearing, Nis immediately hid behind Sherlock with a bang, and then pretended to look around, whistling to see the scenery.

   "My lord priest."

  Charlotte saluted the great priest.

  Seeing Charlotte, the High Priest's expression was slightly unnatural, but he quickly returned to normal.

  He turned into that kind old man again, smiling kindly:

   "Hehe, it's Miss Charlotte."

   "I don't know why Miss Charlotte is looking for the old man?"

  He naturally skipped the matter of the rose of thorns and the evil god.

   Knowing how to do this, Charlotte did not continue to entangle on this issue, but got straight to the point:

   "My lord, I'm here for the Rose Society."

   "I just got the news that the Tribunal took action against the Rose Society and launched a divine judgment..."

  The great priest looked suddenly:

   "Oh... So this is the matter."

   As he spoke, he glanced at more and more curious eyes from the church, pointed to the empty prayer room behind him, and interrupted the girl:

   "It's not convenient to talk here, come in and talk."

   After speaking, he entered the prayer room first.

  The eager Charlotte was about to follow in, but suddenly stopped in place.

  Her eyes fell on the table in the prayer room.

   I saw there, two empty cups had already been placed.

   One aged crystal cup, one empty goblet.

   Beside the goblet, there is still a jug of steaming milk.

  Beside the table, there is not a common confession mat for prayer.

   It was a soft bed chair that looked big enough to accommodate two people.

  Charlotte's eyes froze for a moment.

   "Miss Charlotte, why don't you come in and sit?"

   Entering the prayer room, the great priest sitting on the seat smiled gently and patted the empty seat beside him.

  Charlotte, who has been a human being for two lives and has rich experience in certain aspects of knowledge, immediately became vigilant.

  She stood at the door, shook her head slightly, bowed to the great priest, and said apologetically:

   "My lord, thank you for your kindness, but... let's talk in the hall."

   "What I want to say is related to the reputation of the Castel family. If possible... I hope all the priests in the hall can bear witness."

   Saying that, Charlotte straightened her back, with a young girl's stubborn look on her face, like a sincere child who wants to protect the family's honor.

  The great priest frowned.

  He took a deep look at the girl, and suddenly smiled slightly:

"Can."

  He got up slowly, walked out of the prayer room, and said:

   "I heard... You went to the outer city to meet the Rosary Society a few days ago?"

   "Miss Charlotte, with all due respect, the Rosary Society has been judged as an evil group by the Tribunal, you should reduce your dealings with them!"

   "Look what they've been up to all these years."

   As he spoke, the great priest let out a long sigh, and ordered the priest beside him to take out a roll of parchment, and handed it to the girl.

  Charlotte took it and raised her eyelids.

   This turned out to be an anonymous report letter!

  The report letter listed various crimes committed by the Rose Society in recent years!

  However, Charlotte, who had received information about the Rosary Society from Sebastian and was familiar with what the Rosary Society did, quickly saw traces of familiarity in these materials.

  Just like the whitewashing materials she prepared these days, these materials also use the Spring and Autumn style of writing, and some of them are even fake.

  Charlotte understood in an instant that someone was targeting the Rose Society.

  At this moment, there was a trace of hesitation in the girl's heart whether she should continue to stand up for the rose society.

   Now she just wants to wait quietly until she officially inherits the territory, and hurry up to leave this place of right and wrong to develop wretchedly, and she doesn't want to get involved in any conspiracy anymore.

   But she quickly pinched the slightest hesitation away.

  Although the Rose Society is an underground gang, they have always been cautious in doing things. In Sebastian's words, not touching the bottom line of the church and the nobles is their way of life.

   But now they are being targeted, it is obvious that Rose will do something different from before.

   Combined with the recent movement of the Rosary Society, the only difference from before is that she made contact with the heir of Castel, and it can even be said that she stood by her side.

   It's no secret, just look at Sebastian's clumsy disguise.

  Everyone turned a blind eye and closed one eye, but in fact they all knew the truth.

   This is coming for me!

  The Rose Society has formed some kind of protection for me now, and those who secretly target the Rose Society have to deal with this protection!

   They are probably the same group as the Blood Demon Sect that assassinated me before!

   And once the Rose Society is eliminated, I'm afraid their next target will be me!

  Charlotte's expression gradually became serious, and she soon came to such a judgment.

   "How? Miss Charlotte, do you now know how serious the situation is?"

  The great priest sighed.

  Charlotte was silent.

  She was calculating quickly in her mind, and soon she had a calculation, and suddenly sighed slightly, and said:

   "My lord priest, this is slander..."

"Oh?"

  The great priest raised his eyebrows.

  Charlotte took a deep breath and began to babble:

   "My lord, these materials are probably forged by the Blood Demon Sect."

   "Maybe you don't know it, but Sebastian, the president of the Rosary Society, has been loyal to the Castel family as early as ten years ago."

"The Rose Society, the underground gang in Boulder, is actually a peripheral force of the Castel family, and the purpose of the Rose Society, the chairman Sebastian, is to investigate the Gorefiend Sect and avenge my parents. "

   "The Rose Society seems to be a gangster, but in fact it has been maintaining the underground order in Boulder in recent years..."

   "They are also the strength of Castel, and sooner or later they will also be the strength of the church!"

  After hearing what Charlotte said, the great priest suddenly realized:

   "Oh... so it turned out to be like this, then my family really blamed my family!"

   As he spoke, he showed embarrassment again:

   "But... the old man can't give orders directly to the Tribunal."

   "How about, look at this, the old man will write a hand letter to the trial knights who are in motion, telling them not to kill, and after clearing up the misunderstanding, let the Rose Society go, what do you think?"

"However, the Grand Knight stationed in Boulder in the Trial Office is not a very talkative person. Let me see this. I will have a banquet in the mansion tonight, Your Excellency the Grand Knight. Then you will come over in person, and we will have a good chat together. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be easy to talk about.”

  The great priest smiled authentically.

  Looking at his kind smile, Charlotte's heart sank.

  She could see that the great priest was playing sloppy.

  He didn't want to stand up for Rose at all, and even said... he didn't want to stand up for Castel.

   Not only that, he also seems to have some kind of special interest in himself...

   Combined with the other party's performance today, Charlotte realized a fact that made her feel a little creepy:

  Great Priest...I'm afraid there is a big problem!

Thank you for your various suggestions during the day. I already know where my problems are. Next, I will adjust myself, stabilize the plot and write well. Try to speed up the pace and increase the coolness without affecting the foreshadowing. Meet everyone's needs.
