"Is she here?"
"Coming! Already here!"
"Where is it?"
"It's in the middle hall! Let's worship with Master Raoul!"
"Let's go! Go and have a look!"
Boulder Mission Hospital, in the corridor outside the chapel.
The crowd was surging and bustling, and believers in different costumes rushed to tell each other, rushing towards the nave of the church like a tide.
Among them were trainee priests from the church hospital, residents living nearby, and young nobles who came with their entourage to admire the reputation.
This strange sight surprised the pedestrians passing by on the street who did not know the truth:
"What happened? Why did so many people gather?"
"Yeah, shouldn't the church here be very deserted on weekdays?"
"Are there any activities at the mission hospital today?"
"It's Miss Charlotte!"
The resident who was pulled said excitedly.
He pointed to the middle hall not far away and continued:
"She is worshiping in church! She has been attending church for three days in a row!"
"Miss Charlotte? Why does this name sound familiar?"
"Of course it sounds familiar, she is the eldest lady of the Castel family!"
"Castle? Is that Castel? The little beauty whose family was ruined a few days ago, but who gave the duke's illegitimate son to a smitten beauty after only one meeting?"
"That's right! It's her!"
Everyone’s eyes lit up:
"Let's go! Go and have a look!"
Watching the excitement is always a pleasure for ordinary people, especially for nobles.
As if it spread virally, pedestrians passing by quickly became excited and quickly joined the crowd of onlookers.
However, in the center of the whirlpool, in the nave of the church affiliated with the mission hospital, there was a sacred and solemn scene.
The ethereal hymns cleanse people's hearts, and the holy light illuminates the hall.
Priest Raoul is dressed in white divine robes.
He held the staff in one hand and the scripture in the other, solemnly explaining the teachings of the Holy Royal Court.
The holy light shone on him, making him look like a messenger of the gods on earth.
Bright, holy, majestic…
However, as a preacher, he was not the center of attention.
Under the podium, a beautiful girl was wearing a holy white dress, with her hands folded and placed on her chest.
She sat on her knees on the ground, her eyes lightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face as delicate as porcelain was full of peace and sanctity.
The long golden hair was like shimmering silk under the holy light, naturally scattered on the ground.
Shining photons shrouded in divine magic flew around her like dancing elves.
Angel…
She is an angel who fell into the mortal world!
This was the only thought of everyone who witnessed this scene.
The believers who were listening to the church in the central hall became more pious one after another, looking at the girl and the priest with eyes full of admiration and enthusiasm.
And those people who came to watch the legendary beautiful noble girl couldn't help but become quiet.
They were afraid of disturbing the young girl who was praying.
They are afraid of destroying such a sacred, picturesque, holy and beautiful picture.
They feel ashamed of themselves, and they feel that any disrespect to the girl at this moment is like blasphemy to the gods...
The freelance painter who was attracted watched all this with excitement and couldn't wait to unfold the drawing board on the spot, wanting to depict this holy scene.
"Our Lord in heaven, may your name be hallowed, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."
The old priest solemnly finished the last prayer and gently put down the scripture.
He stretched out his hand on his chest and devoutly made a ring of the cross:
“Praise be to the Divine!”
“Praise be to the Divine!”
The believers also drew the Holy Emblem on their chests and praised in unison.
The chants stopped, and the divine magic that shrouded the middle hall was removed by the priests.
Today's service is over.
Priest Raoul gave a slight greeting to the believers, and then left the church together with the girl who got up.
The middle hall continued to be quiet for a while, and then the solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated.
The people watching outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other and saw admiration and shock in each other's eyes.
"So beautiful... She is really beautiful... No wonder so many people like her!"
"Your Majesty! Is she the daughter of the gods?"
"As expected of the beauty of the Castel family..."
"She is still the heir to the title! If anyone can pursue her, they can also get the wealth of the Castel family!"
"Don't be delusional. Even ordinary nobles may not be worthy of the Castel family!"
"But didn't the Castel family suffer? I heard she was the only one left?"
"It's so pitiful...she's not an adult yet?"
"Hey, even if your family is in trouble, the price of just one meal is your year's wages."
"Yes, I heard that even the beds and toilets in the Castel family are made of gold!"
“…”
…
"Haha, little Charlotte, how have you considered my previous proposal?"
"Becoming a priest does not mean giving up the inheritance rights of the territory, as long as you do not hold actual positions in the church. There are also many noble priests in the church."
In the corridor of the mission hospital, Dean Raoul and Charlotte walked side by side, with a kind smile on his old face:
"Seriously, I really appreciate you more and more. You are really suitable to become a priest. No... maybe you can even become a saint of the divine religion in the future!"
"Have you noticed? With you here, there have been many more believers coming to the church to worship in the past few days, and even the priests have worked harder."
"How about it? Little Charlotte, are you willing to join the cult?"
Charlotte smiled sweetly.
She skillfully made a cross on her chest and did not answer directly:
"Grandpa Raoul, I'll think about it again."
Dean Raoul nodded slightly to express his understanding:
"Sorry, I was a little impatient. You must have some other concerns."
"However, I am telling the truth. You are very compatible with the divine power. It is not common for you to be surrounded by radiance every time you worship."
"You see, even the power of God likes you very much and is rushing to bless you!"
Of course, they all wanted to purify me, but in the end they were persuaded by me to change their minds...
Charlotte smiled and raised her chest slightly, like a proud kitten:
"Of course, I am a devout holy believer!"
"I am very honored and very happy to be able to attend the service hosted by you in person!"
She was really happy.
The second-level priest is worthy of being a second-level priest.
In today's service, she gathered more wool through magical rituals than in the previous days combined!
Dean Raoul nodded slightly, also smiling.
He had no doubts about the girl's devout faith.
"Has the wound completely healed?"
"Thanks to you and all the priests, I have recovered without leaving even a trace of scar."
"No, this is all because you are a devout holy believer and a being who is taken care of by my Lord."
The old priest shook his head gently.
"Officially discharged from hospital tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"It's a pity. I need to go to the cathedral to see the high priest tomorrow, so I can't see you off in person."
"Don't bother me. Sister Lottie has already notified my family for me. A servant will come to pick me up."
"But Castel Manor... Oh, yes, the Castel family still has some shops in the city, and there are still normal people there."
"Um… "
When talking about the Castel family, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
After a while, Raoul sighed and patted Charlotte's shoulder gently:
"Little Charlotte."
"Um… "
"I have heard some bad rumors recently... After you are discharged from the hospital, if you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, send someone to see me. I am still a bit thin-faced among the cults, and the high priests can also tell me. Some words."
Charlotte paused slightly.
She slowly raised her head, and what she saw was the old priest's pure eyes full of firm will and love.
With a hint of warmth in his heart, Charlotte nodded gently:
"Thank you, Grandpa Raoul."
This time, she didn't use her usual cutesy tone.
The old priest smiled.
Smiling very happily.
"Okay, let's enjoy the tranquility of the mission hospital again! I've helped you stop a lot of visits from nobles in the past few days, well... you don't seem to like dealing with them."
"However, I won't be able to help you after I get out of the hospital!"
After saying that, Raoul gently rubbed the dull hair on the girl's head, laughed and left.
Watching the other party leave, Charlotte sighed softly.
Although the old priest had selfish motives for wanting to recruit her into the religion, he did sincerely do it for her own good.
This actually made her feel a little guilty for deceiving the other party.
Of course, this trace of guilt disappeared in a flash.
After all, surviving in another world is her first priority now.
Returning to his ward, Charlotte closed the door.
There were several thick layers of books on the bookcase beside the bed, all of which she had borrowed from the church in the past few days.
She has been hospitalized for six days.
On the third day, her wound was healed.
In her free time these days, apart from thinking of ways to gather money for the church, Charlotte spent the rest of her time either reading or testing her current physical condition.
She quietly tested the items.
Although this body is only fifteen years old, the energy it contains could easily knock down three strong men.
Whether it's speed, strength, or endurance, he's very strong.
Ordinary people are no match for her.
And if night falls, her physical fitness in all aspects will rise to the next level, doubling directly!
However, correspondingly, she does have some obvious weaknesses.
The vampires are indeed vampires.
Through these days of observation and experiments, she discovered that she was indeed afraid of the sun as the legend said.
It's okay to stay in the room, and lighting like candlelight won't hurt either.
But if she appears in the sun, her skin will have obvious burning pain.
Not much can be seen in the short time.
But if you stay longer, your skin will gradually become red and blistered, and your body temperature will rise sharply.
Charlotte didn't dare to stay too long.
She estimated that her life would be in danger if she stayed any longer.
Although she was not sure whether the protection mechanism of the "Blood Sacred Book" would be triggered by then, but now that she was in the church, it was better not to gamble.
Not only that, Charlotte will also feel extremely tired under direct sunlight.
Physical fitness in all aspects will be significantly reduced, almost weakened by 50%.
But other than that, things like garlic, silverware, crosses, etc. did not pose any threat to her.
Except magic.
The divine magic of the Holy Royal Court has a very strong restraint on her.
Fortunately, she has the magical countermeasures of the "Blood Sacred Scripture" to deceive divine magic, so she has nothing to worry about.
I just can’t bask in the sun anymore.
But everything is not absolute.
As a pioneer in the fight against the "vampire monsters", the church hospital's collection of books also contains many records about the vampires.
Some books have mentioned that some powerful vampires can ignore the sunlight, and some vampires with special bloodline talents can also walk freely under the sun.
In other words, if he can continue to improve his strength, Charlotte will one day be able to stand in the sun again.
In addition, Charlotte also has a certain understanding of the extraordinary power system in the world of Miria.
The extraordinary divisions of this world are not as complicated as in many novels she read in her previous life.
On the contrary, it is quite simple and crude.
In this world, there are four levels of extraordinary power.
From weakest to strongest, they are the first level of Stars, the second level of Silver Moon, the third level of Blazing Sun and the fourth level of Legend.
Below the first level of Stars, there is a special stage between mortals and extraordinary people, generally called apprentice level, attendant level, trainee level or zero level.
This refers to those beings who, although they have mastered extraordinary power, are not powerful enough to completely transcend the limits of mortals, or are not powerful enough to cause "magic" and "miracles" on their own.
Such as Charlotte now.
As for the legendary fourth level and above, it is the realm of gods that mortals cannot touch.
The realm of gods is for myths.
That is the existence that mortals look up to.
Myths are all gods, but they can be subdivided into demigods and true gods.
For example, the old witch's sacrifice object, the Blood Demon Archduke, is a demigod and one of the evil gods officially certified by the Holy Royal Court.
Charlotte read these information from church books.
It was also embarrassing. She obviously had the Vampire Clan's supreme artifact, the Blood Sacred Artifact, in her hands, but the artifact was so incomplete that she had to find a lot of knowledge in the church.
Fortunately, after these few days of hard work, the charging of the Blood Call has finally been completed.
Charlotte planned to give it a try after leaving the church and returning to the manor tomorrow.
Sitting on the bed again, Charlotte felt a little thirsty.
She poured herself a glass of water and planned to read for a while.
However, after drinking water, the thirst did not weaken, but became stronger.
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
Her "blood addiction" seems to be on the verge of breaking out...
