The bright holy light is dazzling, and the rich divine power is almost substantial.
The "Blood Sacred Code" almost started to operate on its own, secretly resisting the ubiquitous divine power.
Just standing in the prayer room, Charlotte felt a strong sense of crisis. That sense of crisis was not malicious, but just because the other person was standing there.
When the power is strong enough, getting close to the other party means falling into crisis...
This is a legendary level transcendent!
Charlotte's heart trembled.
It is not that she has never faced legendary power. When she was in Boulder, she once faced off against Valarroca, the volume fire demon of Archduke Abaddon, the Blood Demon.
But even that time, Varaloka did not bring her such a strong sense of crisis.
Charlotte knows that this sense of crisis may not only come from the other party himself, but also from the power of the other party.
Legend is the eye of myth…
Facing a legendary priest directly means entering the sight of a god!
Fortunately, as far as Charlotte knew, most of the gods in the world, including the Lord Harald, were actually asleep for some unknown reasons.
Although the sleep of gods is different from that of mortals, sleeping gods can also respond to the outside world and even cast their gaze, but at least... as long as she is careful, she will not attract the attention of gods.
The strength is unequal and lacks the power to fight. Charlotte has no intention of entering the sight of God Lord Harald now.
Even if there has been a previous "second time travel"!
These thoughts only last for a moment.
Charlotte's thoughts were spinning, but reality was calm. She took a deep breath, drew a cross on her chest piously, and then said respectfully:
"Charlotte de Castel... met the High Priest."
The old man slowly put down the book.
He raised his head, revealing a pair of calm and gentle eyes.
Those eyes seemed to have some kind of profound power, and seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Don't be nervous, don't be so formal, just sit down."
He smiled slightly.
Charlotte isn't pretentious either.
She bowed slightly, and then naturally sat down on the seat opposite the table.
The chief priest looked her up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency Bernard is very curious about you. It has been a long time since there has been a girl in Miriam who has been favored by the God Lord. After something happened in the north, he rushed there as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, in the end it was me, a bad old man. I met you first."
Your Excellency Bernard…
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
Bernard de Champagne.
She had done her homework in advance and knew that the high priest refers to the Grand Inquisitor of Crescent Parish, the Judgment Knight in charge of the parish, and the ruthless man Nice said who once killed gods with a mortal body.
As for now... the other party should have arrived at Castel Territory to investigate the God-Suppressing Bell warning.
Although Charlotte was prepared for how to deal with the church's investigation, she was still wary at this moment.
She showed an embarrassed expression and said solemnly:
"Master High Priest, these are all spread by others. I'm just an ordinary holy believer. I can't be counted as someone who has won the title of the Lord of God..."
The chief priest smiled, shook his head and said:
"No need to belittle yourself, my child."
"Your firm belief in our Lord has long been recognized, and you have triggered my Lord's miracles more than once. After inheriting the territory, you judged evil, expelled the followers of evil gods, and spread our Lord's faith... The church knows these things."
"Your piety is comforting, your faith is admirable, you are a true believer in the divine!"
The chief officiant was gentle and kind, and he did not hesitate to express his admiration for Charlotte without hesitation in his words.
However, Charlotte's heart was beating wildly.
She has indeed done many things under the banner of the Holy Royal Court, and has indeed caused many "miracles".
However, her own family knew about her affairs.
The so-called judging evil, expelling cultists, spreading beliefs, etc. are all pretense. What she is really doing is to gather power and strengthen control of the territory.
As for the so-called "miracle"...
Seriously speaking, it was the instinctive reaction of the divine light to "purify" her as a "heretic", but she used magical countermeasures to rewrite the result of the judgment.
Let's not mention "miracles" for now. To be honest, this is quite deceptive. Many church priests regard her as a born saint for this reason.
But the former…
Charlotte doesn’t think the church is stupid.
What she did in the Northland is actually easy to investigate. Although the church in the Northland has been indirectly controlled by her through Priest Lottie, the church is not blind.
Those truly pious lords will vigorously promote the sacred faith after they succeed to the throne, either by donating money to the church or assisting the church in organizing various missionary activities.
But she has never done anything like this since she took the throne.
They are all slogans, but they are not implemented at all.
Although those things that were put into practice were a blow to the pagans, they were actually intended to enhance their own power.
The high priest paid so much attention to her that Charlotte couldn't believe that the other party hadn't investigated her at all.
Praising her like this at this moment made Charlotte feel wary.
Charlotte didn't believe that the high priest came to her just to say this.
As expected, the chief priest smiled slightly, as if he had recalled something, and the admiration on his face was even greater:
"And the oath you made in front of the Lord of God..."
"Since Pepin II, no noble has sworn such a pious oath for nearly seven hundred years. Your oath has already spread within the church. Even the chief priest, Your Majesty, has heard about it and praised you. Selfless and pious…”
Charlotte:…
She knew that the chief priest of the church would never come to her for no reason.
Those who come out to fool around must pay back. In order to fight against Bold's coveting of her own territory, and to get rid of the flies that were circling around her, she pulled down the church's flag, and now her retribution has finally come.
During this period of time, Charlotte had tried her best to clarify her original vows, but she did not expect that the Archpriest of Crescent Parish would bring it up at this time.
Charlotte wasn't worried at all about offering soil after death.
It's a blank promise. It's hard to say whether she died first or the church burped first. The key is that it's hard to bring up these things at this juncture.
This will further plunge Charlotte into the vortex of power struggle in the Crescent Kingdom. Not only will it completely push her to be on the opposite side of the king and the nobles, but it will also give the church an excuse to intervene in Castel's affairs!
At this time, Charlotte finally realized that the seemingly aloof and calm Holy Royal Court was actually very interested in Castel!
"my child… "
The chief priest smiled slightly and said gently:
"Do you want to become a real saint?"
