How did they know this pattern? !
Could it be that they discovered something...
Charlotte felt a little chilled in her heart.
Demon-hunting knight captain Carla's eyes fell on Charlotte again, glowing slightly with silver.
Charlotte knew that she still couldn't lie next.
Fortunately, she didn't expect this situation.
The girl took a deep breath, tilted her head slightly, her golden hair slightly raised, showing an ignorant and cute look:
"Eh? This pattern looks a bit familiar. Let me think about it..."
"Um?"
Dean Raoul's eyes narrowed slightly and became more solemn.
"Uh... Oh! By the way! I remember! I've seen it before!"
Charlotte slapped her head, as if she was suddenly enlightened.
"When? Where?"
Dean Raoul asked.
His voice was urgent and serious, and even Kara's eyes were fixed on the girl.
Charlotte became more and more certain that they must have discovered something, but they probably didn't suspect her yet.
She smiled sweetly, revealing a pair of beautiful dimples, and opened her big, clear blue eyes, and said innocently:
"It's very early. We have a lot of these patterns in our manor, and many of the decorations on the furniture are like this."
"Hehehe, the top of my bed looks like this, and I quite like it, haha!"
What she said was the truth.
Raoul:…
Kara:…
The old priest's expression was slightly unnatural, as if the breath he had just raised was held in his chest.
But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly, and he gradually became solemn.
He once again put his right hand on his chest, made a cross, and made a slight salute:
"Miss Alice, thank you very much for the information."
"If you still remember any relevant information, please tell me through Lottie in time."
Seeing his solemn look, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She skillfully put on the expression of a curious and harmless baby, twisted her body slightly, and asked sweetly:
"Grandpa Raoul, is there anything wrong with this picture?"
With her cute big eyes, sweet voice and a bit of a coquettish tone, her lethality is undeniable.
Not to mention that just the appearance of Charlotte’s exquisite and lovely porcelain doll is enough to make people melt.
"Grandpa...Grandpa..."
The old priest felt as if he had been given an electric shock, and couldn't help but shudder. All that was left in his mind was the girl's sweet name and her big eyes.
He faced the girl's cute little face and innocent and trusting eyes, and felt that as an elder, it would be difficult to lie to such a cute junior.
After all, who can refuse the closeness and trust of a little cutie
Listen!
She is calling him grandpa!
The old priest's expression softened almost instantly, like an old chrysanthemum that had been blooming for many years, and a blush even seemed to flash across his old cheeks.
The obvious change even surprised the instigator, Charlotte.
Good guy.
It turns out... I'm so serious about showing off my cuteness, so it's so lethal
Charlotte felt like she had discovered a new world...
"cough."
The female knight coughed slightly, instantly waking Raoul up.
Dean Raoul was immediately embarrassed.
He looked slightly solemn, returned to the holy appearance of a priest, and said softly and seriously:
"Charlotte, this picture is very dangerous. You must forget it from now on and never draw it. Do you understand?"
Even the old priest didn't notice that he no longer called the other party "Miss" in a distant manner, but directly called her by name.
Her tone could not be more gentle.
"Yeah, I know, I will be obedient! Grandpa Raoul~"
Charlotte nodded obediently, looking quite cute.
She has gradually taken on the role, and her cuteness has become more and more standard and skillful.
The old priest couldn't help but shuddered. It was not a nausea, but more like a feeling of pleasure. But as a priest, he didn't want to lose his composure.
After giving the girl some advice, he quickly said goodbye to the female knight and left, feeling a bit like he was running away.
This time, they really left.
…
"If I have a granddaughter, she should be as old as her, right?"
After leaving the ward, Dean Raoul still had a trace of aftertaste in his expression.
"Did you hear that? She just called me grandpa! She is so cute."
He seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to the female knight beside him, with a very emotional expression.
However, the female knight remained taciturn.
Raoulton was bored:
"Kara, that's the bad thing about you, you are always so serious and silent."
Shaking his head slightly, Raoul slowly put away his smile.
His expression gradually became serious:
"Things may be a bit troublesome..."
…
Boulder Ecclesiastical Hospital, Priest's Office.
A group of hospital priests and witcher knights gathered around the table, listening to the story attentively:
"Meow! You didn't know how scary it was back then!"
"After seeing those undead souls, Mr. Cat was really shocked. The wealthy Castel Manor has turned into a devil's cave long ago!"
"Besides, it seems that those undead souls must have been transformed for many years. They are really good at hiding it, meow!"
"A blood demon who is less than the first level of Fanxing can actually transform so many undead souls. All I can say is...it is worthy of a cursed book page!"
"If Master Cat hadn't run so fast, he would have almost gone to see the Lord of God!"
"Hehehehe, but... the little guys of the Castel family are quite cute. They are indeed the legendary beauty family. I was almost dumbfounded by the cat. It's no wonder that the blood demon has hidden me for so many years!"
The storyteller is a black cat with a hoarse voice and a trace of pride on the humanized cat's face, like a carefree bragging uncle.
It was extremely fat and sat slumped on the table. At first glance, I thought it was a pig disguised as a cat.
When Dean Raoul and Demon Hunting Captain Carla came in, they saw such a scene.
The female knight frowned slightly.
Dean Raoul also looked helpless.
He coughed a few times, and the priest and knight turned back in unison, then saluted and stepped aside:
"Master Raoul, Master Kara (captain)."
Seeing Raoul and Carla, Black Cat perked up.
It twisted its chubby body and jumped down, and walked up to the two of them naively, which was somewhat cute:
"Meow, it's over? How was it?"
Kara's eyes glanced at Lottie and others.
The priest and the demon-hunting knight immediately understood and left one after another.
"She has not been contaminated. Although her body is slightly infected by dark corrosion, it has been purified by Kara."
Dean Raoul closed the door and said.
"Meow? That's strange. Mr. Cat has never heard of a being who has accepted the power of the Blood Demon Archduke and has not been contaminated, let alone a sacrifice."
The black cat said as he raised his hind legs to scratch.
But because it is too fat, even if it lifts its legs, it cannot reach its body. It is completely lonely and looks extremely funny.
"Kara has carefully checked the sacrificial circle. Charlotte is not the sacrifice, the sacrifice is Mrs. Castel."
"Besides, Nice, it's time for you to lose weight."
Dean Raoul shook his head.
"Lose weight? Oh, no! I obviously have a healthy body! Many little girls like it very much!"
The black cat named Nice patted his belly, which was about to drip to the ground, and said dissatisfiedly.
After saying that, it licked its paws again and said with some confusion:
"It's really strange. Mr. Cat knows a lot about the sacrifice circle. Even if Charlotte is not the sacrifice, as the core of the circle, the blood cross is the key to initiating the sacrifice, and she is the medium."
"Raoul, you know that the initiation of blood sacrifice means the death of the medium."
"That's why Carla and I have to go there ourselves. She survived. I'm afraid some kind of existence saved her. We need to find out what it is."
Dean Raoul and Carla looked at each other and said.
"Some kind of... existence? So you have confirmed that the sacrifice circle is really not that stupid blood demon who painted the sacrifice and the sacrifice upside down?"
The black cat suddenly became interested and tapped its tail lightly on the ground.
"That's what I'm going to say next, Nice, I have something that I need you to take a look at."
Dean Raoul said solemnly.
As he spoke, he took out the parchment he had just shown to Charlotte from his arms and placed it in front of the black cat.
The black cat stretched out his paw and curiously pushed the parchment away.
"This is… "
Looking at the thorns and roses pattern on the parchment, it was a little confused.
"This is the sacrifice mark that Kara took from the sacrifice circle."
Dean Raoul said.
"Mark of the Giver?! Damn it! Raoul, do you know what you are talking about? This is a symbol! A sign!"
The black cat jumped up instantly:
"What can be engraved in the magic circle as a symbol of the donor must be the donor's blood and real name! The only ones who use 'symbols' as the symbol of the magic circle... are gods!"
"Who in this world dares to use the symbol of a god as a sign of a devotee? Let the god be a devotee? That is disrespectful and blasphemous to God!"
"The gods will not allow this kind of magic circle to operate!"
"Could it be that you want to say that a certain god personally presided over the blood sacrifice last night? I think you are really crazy!"
Dean Raoul was silent.
Black Cat suddenly had an ominous premonition:
"Wait...what's your expression..."
Raoul sighed:
"Kara, please also take out the rubbing that the sacrifice points to."
Kara nodded slightly, took out the second piece of parchment from her arms, and placed it in front of the black cat.
The black cat carefully pushed the parchment away, and then his amber eyes widened.
I saw on the parchment, the same symbol of thorns and roses as the one who had just been presented.
“Nice…”
Dean Raoul spoke again.
His expression became more solemn than ever before, and his old voice was extremely serious:
"Do you know why this incident of the Blood Demon alarmed the high priest and the Duke so quickly?"
"Why? Isn't it because the Castel family is too famous? They are so rich, they have produced beauties famous in the kingdom throughout the generations, and they are also a branch of the Boulder family... "
"No… "
Dean Raoul shook his head:
"Because the bell of Boulder Church rang."
"Last night, the evil god... revived."
