The soft holy light spread out from Charlotte.
Holy, warm, kind...
Although it was only a projection of the girl's power in the "Eternal Sacred Realm", the three legendary priests were very sure that the light projected by the artifact "Eternal Sun" was the sacred power of the God of Creation.
God is above!
The power that protects her is the divine power of the Lord God? !
This...how is this possible
The three legendary priests looked at each other with wonderful expressions.
Looking at the holy light surrounding the girl, they didn’t know for a moment whether they were dazzled or had also been in the “Eternal Holy Realm”…
"God, be it! Could this be a problem with the Eternal Sunrise?"
Demon Hunter Cardinal Joseph opened his eyes wide, looking confused and astonished.
Chief Judge Bernard's expression also changed.
He stared at the running artifact Eternal Sun, and after a moment, he shook his head slightly:
"No, everything is fine in Eternal Day."
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the High Priest Charles standing beside him, and asked uncertainly:
"Your Excellency the High Priest, do we... still need to continue strengthening our divine arts?"
"Eternal Sacred Realm" can project the hidden power of the subject.
Although they are unable to penetrate the mysterious power that protects the girl and enter her spiritual world, the girl's hidden power has been successfully projected.
In other words, if the purpose is just to use "Eternal Day" to explore the secret hidden by the girl, it can be considered to have achieved the goal.
High Priest Charles was silent.
He frowned as he looked at Charlotte, who was shrouded in light, and shook his head slightly:
“No need to strengthen it.”
After hearing the words of the high priest, Chief Judge Bernard breathed a sigh of relief.
The protective power hidden in the girl has been revealed, and it is the sacred power they are familiar with. This shows that the power protecting the girl really comes from His Majesty the God.
As the Chief Judge of the Crescent Moon who controls the "Eternal Sun", he can use the "Eternal Sacred Realm" to trace back the source of the recipient's power. He has also used the "Eternal Sun" to kill the newly revived old god, but he dares not use this artifact to trace back the sacred power...
Because that means spying on the God of Creation.
No god likes to be spied on by mortals.
If it was other gods that were being spied on and located with the help of the "Eternal Sacred Realm", he would not be afraid of anything as he was protected by the power of the Lord God.
But if you spy on the Lord God...
Chief Judge Bernard has never done it and doesn't want to do it.
As a devout believer in the divine, he feared that such reckless behavior would incur the wrath of the gods.
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Since her alien god background has been ruled out, I will not continue to maintain the divine art."
High Priest Charles was silent for a moment and sighed:
"Remove it."
With permission, Chief Inquisitor Bernard once again controlled the Sun Base, ready to awaken the girl enveloped in the holy light.
However, before he could make a move, the halo of the "Eternal Sacred Realm" flickered slightly and gradually dimmed.
Chief Judge Bernard was stunned.
This is the "Eternal Sacred Realm" being automatically released.
However, he was not surprised.
"Eternal Sun" is a sacred artifact created by the Lord God, and was bestowed by the Lord God to the Holy Royal Court to use against pagans.
Since the girl's identity has been verified, it is normal for the artifact to cancel the magic on its own.
The brilliant divine power gradually dissipated, and the crystal mirror floating in the air gradually dimmed and returned to the sun base in the hands of Chief Judge Bernard.
At the same time, Charlotte, who was standing at the door of the prayer room, swayed slightly.
Her eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
…
The white world shattered, and a strong feeling of dizziness came again.
And along with the dizziness, the sense of "reality" quickly returns.
"Huh... finally returning to reality."
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the reality coming from her limbs.
However, she did not relax, but quickly became more vigilant.
The "Eternal Sacred Realm" had been broken by her through the counterattack of divine magic.
But dispelling the illusion is just the beginning.
She will next face the legendary clergy of the church.
She was not sure whether her trick just now was successful, so she still could not be careless.
Charlotte opened her eyes as her senses fully recovered.
What came into her sight was still the prayer room of the Lutetia Cathedral, and she still made the move of entering the prayer room.
The conversation with the high priest, the invitation from the church, the banquet at Duke Gaston's house... they were all fake.
From the moment she stepped into the prayer room, she was under the spell of an illusion.
Her vision restored, and Charlotte soon met three gazes.
One of the people she recognized was the Archbishop of Crescent Parish, Charles de Loren, whom she had seen when she first stepped into the prayer room.
However, the other two were strangers.
However, although they were strangers, Charlotte still guessed their identities from their clothes.
The priest on the right was obviously dressed as an inquisitor of the Tribunal, and in his hand he was holding a mysterious crystal mirror that was almost overflowing with holy light.
Charlotte realized without hesitation that the other party was probably the Grand Inquisitor Bernard de Champagne who cast the "Holy Eternal Realm" on her, and that the sun-shaped crystal mirror was probably the artifact "Eternal Sun".
As for the man on the left... the officiating robe with purple trimmings is obviously a cardinal officiating, and he also wears the emblem of the demon hunter knight on his chest. He is probably the demon hunter Cardinal Joseph de Mazarin who is in charge of the demon hunting institute of the Crescent Parish as recorded in the documents.
hiss…
One of the three giants of the Crescent Diocese, the Holy Royal Court really thinks highly of her and is waiting for her directly in the cathedral.
Charlotte clicked her tongue inwardly.
However, she soon discovered that the three legends looked at her strangely and with inexplicable expressions.
Surprised, confused, puzzled, curious...
And the demon-hunting cardinal even looked a little excited.
However, there was no vigilance or hostility in their eyes.
At most, it was just the look of the New Moon High Priest, Charles, which was filled with surprise, yet also a little bit of thought and scrutiny.
It seems... it should be successful.
Charlotte was certain.
She roughly guessed why these legendary priests looked at them in that way.
If her judgment was correct, just before she woke up, she should have been showing the sacred light of Lord Harald.
In the "Sacred Eternal Realm", the illusionary world that appeared wanted to induce her to use the power released by the True Ancestor.
Combined with her understanding of the church from books, she guessed that the Holy Royal Court might want to use the illusion to draw out the power in her and then determine her identity.
So... when she modified the divine spell counter judgment, she spent some time to modify it to judge that the power she released in the illusion world was the power of creation.
Then, she did the opposite and liberated the True Ancestor directly in the illusion world.
Of course, that was not the true liberation of the True Ancestor.
After realizing that it was her spiritual world, Charlotte had found a way to wake up and was able to partially mobilize the power of her spiritual world.
Therefore, she just "imagined" herself exerting the power of liberation of the True Ancestor in the spiritual world.
Then... under the judgment of the "Holy Eternal Realm", the power she exerted became the "divine power of creation".
This is a bit confusing, but who can blame Charlotte for not understanding the nature of the power of creation
Without understanding the essence, she could not imagine it in the spiritual world, so she could only resort to this tricky method.
And now judging by the expressions of several legendary priests, she should have succeeded.
Of course, this is not the end.
Next, it’s time to see the acting skills.
Thinking of this, Charlotte's confused vision gradually returned to clarity, and then she quickly showed a vigilant expression and took a step back.
She looked at the three priests warily, quickly took out a crossbow from under her skirt, and alertly made a counterattack gesture like a frightened kitten.
"Your Excellency, High Priest, what did you do to me?"
She looked at the leading Crescent High Priest, Charles, and questioned in a shocked and angry voice.
High Priest Charles didn't seem to expect Charlotte's reaction.
His scrutinizing gaze froze for a moment, and then he frowned slightly.
Grand Inquisitor Bernard and Demon Hunter Cardinal Joseph looked at each other.
Facing Charlotte's angry gaze, the Chief Judge hesitated for a moment, and then quietly put the Eternal Day behind him.
The Demon Hunter Cardinal pulled his goatee, looking a little troubled and conflicted.
Finally, it was the high priest Charles who spoke.
He just sighed and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Lord Castel."
"The church has received an anonymous report that you are related to the mysterious evil god 'God of Darkness' who was resurrected in Boulder last year, and that you are a member of the Darkness God's group."
"We had no choice but to test you after you entered the church and bring you into the divine illusion to confirm your identity..."
"An anonymous report letter? The God of Darkness?"
Charlotte frowned, looking confused.
However, her heart skipped a beat.
Oh my god, I was reported
Who did this
The existence and forces that knew her identity quickly emerged in her mind.
Finally, the name of an organization came to her mind...
Know that she is related to the "evil god" of Bolder.
And he was hostile to her.
hiss…
Could it be those bastards from the Blood Demon Cult
Charlotte guessed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she pretended to be puzzled, frowned, and said coldly:
"This is slander! My faith has always been firm, how could I be a member of the evil god?"
High Priest Charles nodded slightly and sighed:
"From the results, it seems that we misunderstood..."
As he spoke, he drew a cross on his chest, and then, under the somewhat surprised gazes of Grand Inquisitor Bernard and Demon Hunter Cardinal Joseph, he bowed slightly to Charlotte and apologized:
"Mr. Count Castel, we are deeply sorry for the shock you received from this test. To express the church's apology, we will make appropriate compensation..."
"But please understand that every appearance of the evil god will bring disaster to the world of order. In order to nip the danger in the bud, we must treat it with caution even if there is a slight possibility..."
Charlotte was also a little surprised when she saw the high priest apologizing to her.
As the highest clergyman of the Crescent Diocese and a transcendent being with legendary strength, this attitude of his can be said to be very humble.
You know, her official identity is just a count!
Of course, Charlotte had reason to believe that the high priest lowered his attitude because he saw "her power".
Considering her own status and the influence of the Holy Royal Court in the secular world, Charlotte stopped being arrogant and frowned slightly:
“I understand the church’s concerns, but it is hard to believe that they would doubt the faithfulness of believers just based on an anonymous letter of complaint…”
After hearing what Charlotte said, High Priest Charles sighed:
"Your Excellency, if you had read the contents of the report, you might have understood the church's difficulties."
After saying that, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms.
Charlotte frowned and took the letter from the high priest.
After browsing it for a while, she suddenly felt guilty.
There was no other reason, the report on her on the letter was too detailed.
Starting from Boulder and ending with the Earldom of Castel, although a lot of the content is just speculation, the description of her relationship with the "God of Darkness" is coherent and very convincing.
It was obvious that this was written by someone who had dealt with her before, and she was even regarded as a subordinate of the "God of Dark Night". To be honest, Charlotte felt that if she were a priest of the church, she would also think that there was something wrong with her after reading this letter of complaint.
There is no way, because she is really the so-called "God of Dark Night". Her whereabouts are consistent with the "God of Dark Night", and this letter points it all out.
After reading the letter, Charlotte had a pretty good idea of the identity of the whistleblower.
No need to think about it.
It must have been done by the Blood Demon Cult!
The only forces that know that there is a god behind her are the descendants of Falling Star, but they want to win her over.
The Ness clan still needs to regain control of the Falling Star Kingdom and needs her as an ally to fight against the church's interference. They will definitely not cut off their own arms.
But the descendants of Ness of Luoxing had been infiltrated by the blood clan of the Blood Demon Cult before, and the Blood Demon Cult must have also obtained information about Charlotte's identity as a "member of the alien god".
The Ness clan might still be unsure about the relationship between Charlotte and the "God of Darkness", but the Blood Demon Cult would definitely be able to figure it out. They must have obtained the information from the Ness clan and reported it to the church.
Thinking of this, Charlotte secretly made a note of the Blood Demon Cult.
She sighed, handed the letter back to the high priest, and then smiled bitterly:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I understand. This letter is indeed very misleading. If I were to put myself in your shoes, perhaps I would make the same choice as the church."
High Priest Charles nodded slightly and said gently:
"I'm glad you understand. Now that you've passed the test, it's a relief for us..."
After saying this, he looked serious again and said:
"Mr. Count, please forgive my offense again. Can you tell me what you just saw in the divine illusion?"
After hearing what the high priest said, Charlotte was ready to lie.
However, when she saw the faint flicker in the other person's eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she became alert again.
That is the Eye of Truth, a solidified divine technique used by demon hunters to detect lies.
The high priest's temptation of her... is not over yet.
