"Your Excellency Bertrand de Chevalier, I should have said that no action should be taken against the Castel family before the Bank of China Council is convened!"
"I know that you were once the third prince's butler, loyal to him, and resentful of the Castel family, but even revenge must take time!"
"The meeting is about to begin, and everyone is paying attention to the Castel family. In order for the plan to go smoothly, we must keep a low profile these days!"
"Fortunately, I discovered something was wrong when I entered the city yesterday. Otherwise, when you take action next time, everything will be in chaos!"
Richard looked dissatisfied and scolded him sternly.
Charlotte listened for a while before she realized that the other party was talking about the city gate guards who made things difficult for her when she entered the city yesterday, and it seemed that there were subsequent plots, but they were all blocked.
This was somewhat similar to some of her and Sebastian's speculations, and it wasn't particularly surprising. What surprised her was the identity of Richard de Gaston, the son of a duke, who was actually related to the Blood Demon Order. , and he is also a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Order!
But this time, with the enhanced perception of the divine power of blood and divine possession, Charlotte also vaguely detected a loophole in the opponent's aura. Although the young son of a duke hid it well, it was still there. But his bloodline aura was telling Charlotte that he might have been embraced for the first time just like Bertrand.
Of course, the Duke family has always been full of extraordinary items. Richard should have some kind of prop to conceal his aura, so Charlotte didn't recognize his identity yesterday.
Charlotte mused, while Richard de Gaston's lecture continued:
"Your Excellency Bertrand de Chevalier, Sir Albrecht asked me to tell you that he does not want to see something like this happen again! What he needs is an obedient descendant, not a disobedient descendant. He can give you eternal life, but he can also take it away!"
"You...do you understand?"
His voice was cold, and his words were full of warning.
Charlotte remained calm.
She sighed, made a regretful look, and replied in an old and hoarse voice:
"Your Excellency Richard, I was impulsive. I will actively cooperate with the apostle and will no longer act alone."
After hearing her words, Richard's expression softened slightly.
He nodded slightly and said:
"It's good that you know that the ceremony is coming soon. We can't lose the big because of the small. As long as our lord's sacrifice ceremony can be successfully completed, let alone Castel, the entire Crescent Kingdom will return to the embrace of our lord, even the New Moon Kingdom will return to the arms of our lord." Yue’s church will also be severely damaged by this!”
Sacrifice for the Kingdom and the Church
Could it be... that he wanted to take advantage of the central meeting to sacrifice the royal family, priests and nobles attending the meeting
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
And Richard went on to say:
"As for the Castel family... stop staring. The cult has already secretly reported her information to the church. Naturally, the church will deal with her."
"Perhaps the gods behind her can help her cover up, but the Holy Royal Court... is not that easy to deal with. With her here, it can also help us contain a certain amount of the church's energy."
"The Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter Cardinal have already left for the North. Several other cardinals from the church are also scattered in various places. Currently, only Archpriest Charles is in charge of Lutecia. This is our best chance..."
Charlotte:…
It seems that the Blood Demon Cult has not yet learned what happened in the church, nor does it know that the Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter Cardinal have not left at all.
It is understandable when you think about it. No one else was present when the three giants of the church personally "tested" her. The church is a restricted area of the Blood Demon Order, so it is normal not to know the information inside.
Now it seems that the Grand Inquisitor and the Demon Hunter Cardinal are waiting for her not only because of their importance to her, but also for the purpose of dealing with the Blood Demon Order.
But the Blood Demon Order... it's not clear that the church already knows about their little tricks.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte said in a deep voice:
"I will pay attention and not target Castel again."
Richard nodded slightly:
"I hope you will do what you say. After all, our ceremony is under the nose of the church. Above is the Royal Square and the Parliament Hall, and not far away is the Lutetia Cathedral. The closer we get to the last moment, the more cautious we must be. The newly appointed New Moon High Priest is not an easy character to deal with!”
As he spoke, the young nobleman began to draw cakes again:
"Sir Bertrand, Sir Albrecht has always made clear rewards and punishments. If you do your part well, you will naturally be rewarded. After this ceremony, the new moon will usher in a vacuum of power. The apostle will not forget you. Contribution, you will definitely have a place in the bloody palace of the future... "
Bloody court
Is the Blood Demon Order trying to imitate the Kingdom of Corea and try to subvert the rule of the Crescent Moon and secretly control the Crescent Kingdom like before
Charlotte was thoughtful and almost guessed what the Blood Demon Order's so-called sacrifice ceremony was.
Without him, historically they had done a similar operation when they overthrew the Crescent Kingdom, and there were also relevant records in the church.
If her guess was correct, I'm afraid they planned to take advantage of the convening of the central meeting to sacrifice some nobles as sacrifices, while turning other nobles into blood descendants.
As for which nobles were sacrificed and which nobles became blood descendants... naturally it depends on the position of the nobles. The church has limited restrictions on the nobles, and it is not uncommon for nobles to be secretly connected to the Blood Demon Order.
Charlotte thought with a happy expression:
"Please rest assured, Lord Apostle, I will definitely live up to the orders of the Order and will successfully complete the tasks assigned by Lord Apostle!"
Richard nodded:
"As long as you know."
"Also, don't forget Lord Albrecht's work of collecting pages. If you have time, bring back those collected cursed pages."
Cursed pages
Fragmentary pages of the holy book? !
Charlotte suddenly became energetic.
Yes, the Blood Demon Cult has always been very interested in the fragments of the holy book. Last year, just a Silver Moon priest in Boulder collected a lot of fragments. Now the Blood Demon Cult hidden in Lutesia is stronger. It is impossible. Don’t collect these things.
And... listening to what the other party wanted, Dark Apostle Albrecht also gave Bertrand the task of collecting the pages!
After all, Bertrand is the blazing sun, so he must have gained something. Maybe... After Richard leaves, she should search Bertrand's manor!
Thinking of this, Charlotte became even more excited, but she still didn't show it on her face.
"I know, I will send the collected pages as soon as possible."
she said.
Richard was pleased with her attitude.
After a few more words of warning, the messenger of the Dark Apostle left.
After confirming that she was the only one left, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and began to communicate with the Blood Scripture.
The Blood Sacred Scripture can resonate with the remaining pages of the Sacred Scripture within a certain distance.
If Bertrand really collected pages, she might be able to sense them!
In the dark night castle, the Holy Book of Blood bloomed brilliantly, and at the same time, Charlotte also felt a kind call coming from not far away.
found it!
She was sure.
