The High Priest actually wants to make a deal with me and form a cooperative relationship
Listening to the high priest's thoughts, Charlotte felt quite strange.
She really didn't know whether to say that the high priest was bold or unlucky, as he actually wanted to seek refuge from her.
Charlotte's first thought was whether she should take this opportunity to get rid of the high priest once and for all.
But the thought only flashed through my mind for a moment.
She gave up the idea when she sensed the other party calling her altar.
The symbol of thorns and roses was engraved on the altar, but the high priest was not her subordinate. Even if she could keep his soul in the Dark Night Castle, she could not interfere with the altar in the secret room.
She couldn't attract too much attention from the Holy Court.
Instead, she should try to make her presence as low as possible.
Besides, there was no need for her to waste her energy on someone who was bound to perish.
Not only that, after listening to the high priest's thoughts, Charlotte was actually quite interested in some of the other party's "transaction content".
She suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to obtain some more confidential information about the Holy Court from the other party to strengthen her understanding of the church and the gods.
She read a lot of books in the church hospital's collection, but a lot of the content was obviously used for external publicity and could not allow Charlotte to truly understand the Holy Royal Court.
Lottie is a new breakthrough, but Lottie is only a first-rank priest, and his understanding of the Holy Royal Court is certainly not as much as that of the high priest.
Of course, she had no intention of protecting the high priest.
She just wanted to get some information from the other party...
Thinking of this, Charlotte chuckled and said in a vague voice:
"A mortal's transaction?"
The voice was teasing, contemptuous, and filled with a kind of superior amusement and disdain.
However, this reaction seemed quite normal to the high priest.
Not only that, upon hearing the evil god's voice, he instantly perked up:
"Yes, a deal! I want to exchange the information of the Holy Royal Court for your protection..."
After saying this, the high priest lowered his head nervously, waiting for the evil god's response.
Charlotte slowly tapped the armrest of the throne and did not answer immediately.
The rhythmic knocking continued, and the majestic figure on the throne remained silent. The high priest felt that every knock seemed to hit his heart, making him more nervous and uneasy...
Until even he, who was always able to keep his composure, could no longer hold back, the light and shadow in the crimson mist chuckled again:
"You are such a bold and corrupt priest."
"But... your bargaining chips may not be enough to obtain asylum!"
"If you want to get asylum, you need to come up with something more interesting."
Although Charlotte was quite interested in the information about the Holy Court, she did not immediately agree to the other party's proposal.
In addition to the information from the Holy Royal Court, she felt that she might be able to learn more from them...
On the other hand, after hearing what Charlotte said, the high priest was not disappointed but became excited:
"Great Being... Then, what do you need me to do to obtain your protection?"
Charlotte chuckled:
"You need to ask yourself this question. What interesting information can you come up with to win my favor?"
After hearing what Charlotte said, the high priest fell into deep thought. On the other side, Charlotte also sensed that the time for her to "summon" the other party was approaching.
The summoning time was ridiculously short, so short that Charlotte was caught off guard.
Obviously, with her current strength, it is still too difficult to maintain the "summoning" of a third-level Blazing Sun. The time is far less than that of Sebastian.
"Think about it carefully, and tell me any news you know by calling my name, and when I am satisfied, you will receive my gaze!"
Charlotte said solemnly.
After saying this, the crimson mist filled the air again, and the high priest felt that everything around him began to become blurry...
He quickly realized that the other party was about to end the summons.
"Great being! How can I contact you? How can I call your name?"
He shouted quickly.
"You can call me Dark Night..."
The vague and ethereal voice gradually faded away and dissipated along with the crimson mist.
When the high priest regained consciousness, he found himself back in the secret room.
Thinking about his recent communication with the evil god, his expression changed.
It was obvious that the evil god did not directly agree to the deal with him.
However, this evil god gave him a chance.
The high priest knew very well that although this evil god was also identified as an evil god, judging from his behavior, he was probably once a righteous god in history...
As for such alien gods, they can generally do what they say.
"It seems... I have to find a way to organize the various materials of the church."
The high priest murmured, his expression also full of anticipation.
…
After finishing the summons to the high priest, Charlotte returned to reality.
However, unlike the nervous high priest, she was very calm.
What she said to the high priest was just something she did casually.
It would be good to hear some useful information from the high priest, so that she can have some initiative when facing the investigation of the Holy Royal Court next.
But if she really doesn't exist, I won't force it.
She had no intention of protecting him, nor did she plan to summon him again in the future.
She had never considered herself a good person who kept her word, and she would never really fulfill her promise to a fallen person like the High Priest.
She just wanted to use this method to keep an eye on the other person.
She was also looking forward to the other party's stunned expression when he thought he was out of danger but suddenly faced destruction...
Thinking of this, Charlotte felt happier.
Charlotte poured herself another glass of hot milk and drank it happily.
Then, she stretched and prepared to go to her own personal practice room to try out the new magic she had learned.
Charlotte reopened the door and went downstairs.
However, when she arrived at the lobby on the first floor, she saw that all the young boys and girls she had recruited from the outer city were gathered there.
Dozens of people were lined up on both sides, wearing uniforms.
Including the maids she rescued from the Drunken Dream Salon, not one was missing.
Shirley, with a cold expression, and Rand, who had already reached the first level of Star, stood at the front. Shirley was even using a cane.
Seeing them, Charlotte was slightly stunned:
"What are you all gathering here for?"
Then, she looked at Shirley again and said unhappily:
"Why are you running around again instead of taking good care of your injuries?"
Shirley pursed her lips.
Then, in Charlotte's somewhat surprised eyes, she saw the proud maid suddenly kneeling on one knee with a cane, and for the first time, her cold voice was filled with emotion:
"The Earl of Castel, the merciful and just Lord Charlotte..."
"Your maid Shirley is willing to offer her loyalty to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of boys and girls knelt on one knee:
"I am willing to offer my loyalty to you!"
Looking at the serious-looking boy and girl, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She knew that after experiencing the divine judgment and rescuing the maid in the Drunken Salon, she had finally gained everyone's loyalty.
If before they only relied on the favorable conditions and the charming effect of the majesty, now they truly recognized her as their master.
