Exiting the spiritual world, Charlotte returned to reality.
She stood up from the ground and left the basement.
The black cat Nice was still guarding outside. When Charlotte pushed open the door of the basement, she saw this guy staring at her. The amber cat eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
"Have you seen enough?"
The girl said coldly.
Being swept by those deep blue eyes, Nice quickly looked away.
But it couldn't help but occasionally raise its head and look at Charlotte, seeming to want to say something but stopping itself.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Charlotte frowned.
"Um, nothing much, I'm just a little curious... Miss Charlotte... Um, have you recovered some of your strength?"
Chat Noir asked cautiously.
Um
Charlotte gave it a strange look.
"Um... well, I just received a message from the church. Although it hasn't been announced yet, I guess the whole of Boulder will know about it soon..."
Black cat Nice scratched his head as he followed Charlotte.
As it spoke, it looked at Charlotte strangely, swallowed its saliva, and said carefully:
"The Great Knight of the Inquisition has fallen..."
Charlotte paused for a moment, then nodded slowly.
She returned to her study and sat down again, while the black cat Nice took the initiative to jump onto the desk and pour her a cup of hot milk.
"Um... You don't seem surprised? Did you do it?"
Ness asked.
"Me? I've been at Castle Manor the whole time."
Charlotte picked up the goblet gracefully.
"But I can smell Sebastian's scent! Meow! I can't mistake that guy's dog smell!"
"The aura of that unlucky guy who was supposed to be hunted by the Great Knight actually appeared in the manor, and the Great Knight died suddenly. I can't think of anyone else who could do it except you!"
"Moreover... the high priest has blocked more detailed information. The last time he did this was because of the thorny rose!"
Nice said eagerly.
Charlotte glanced at it in surprise:
"The Great Knight is dead. You seem particularly worried?"
"Meow! Of course I'm worried! He's the Grand Knight of the Inquisition! The Archdiocese of the Silver Moon Kingdom will definitely send people to investigate! If it was really you who did it, you must be careful! My life is on the same boat with yours!"
Nice said.
"It doesn't matter. There are people who are more anxious than me. He will try every possible way to cover up everything."
Charlotte said.
"You mean the High Priest? With all due respect... I can't imagine how he could cover up the death of a great knight..."
Ness frowned.
I can’t think of that either.
But anyway, I ran fast and didn't leave any clues. I will be gone in half a year. The one who should be worried is him because he is involved with the Blood Demon Cult!
Charlotte thought to herself.
After getting the confirmation, Nice sighed:
"Anyway... I hope you can be careful. The Holy Royal Court has always been very vigilant about the resurrection of the deceased gods. Don't let them discover your existence! Otherwise, they will really send legends to investigate."
"This era is not the same as thousands of years ago when you were the only one who could command the support of everyone."
After hearing what Black Cat said, Charlotte's expression gradually became serious.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
She nodded.
After saying this, Charlotte pondered for a moment and then said:
"Nice, I need you to do something."
"Meow? What's up?"
"Go check on someone."
"who?"
"Priest Lottie."
"Priest Lotte? Isn't that Raoul's student? Why are you investigating her?"
Nice is a little weird.
"I suspect she is related to the Blood Demon Cult."
Charlotte paused and said.
"Blood Demon Cult?!"
The black cat's eyes suddenly widened.
It thought for a moment and nodded solemnly:
"I understand. Leave it to me!"
After receiving the order, Nice walked away with his hips twitched.
Charlotte fell into deep thought.
The death of the Grand Knight will surely bring about a series of chain reactions, and the upper parish of the Holy Royal Court will definitely send people to investigate.
If Nice can think of it, the Blood Demon Cult can probably think of it too.
Sebastian said that the Blood Demon Cult was very likely planning a big conspiracy.
If this is true, perhaps the death of the Great Knight will make them speed up their actions.
"Looks like I have to hurry up, too."
Charlotte let out a breath.
She rang the bell and called the maid:
"Prepare a glass of red wine, and... do not disturb me without orders."
Of course, the red wine was not for her to drink, but for Sebastian.
If she was right, the other party would be back soon.
Charlotte gave the order, and a few moments later, the maid returned to the study with the prepared red wine.
However, the people who came were not only maids, but also the solemn-looking old servant Quasimodo, and more than a dozen young boys and girls.
Quasimodo led the group, and beside him were Rand, who was already a Star Knight, and Shirley, who had always had a high reputation among the newcomers.
In the middle of the three people, there was a young girl who was crying and looking anxious.
Charlotte recognized her; it was one of the newcomers, an apprentice maid named Elena.
She also has a younger sister who is only twelve years old and is also one of the newcomers to the manor.
"Rand, why are you here? Shirley, why are you running around instead of taking care of your injuries?"
Charlotte frowned.
Then, she looked at the crying girl:
"What happened?"
"I'm sorry... Master, something urgent happened and I need to report to you. It concerns the newcomers and the families of many people. They... I couldn't stop them and they all followed me."
Quasimodo lowered his head.
problem occurs
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
After Quasimodo finished speaking, the young men and women following him suddenly bowed down in unison:
"Lord Charlotte... please save our friends and family!"
…
"Haha, Lady Dark Night would never have thought that I would reap the rewards so soon!"
Sebastian was very happy to receive the token from Zuimeng Salon and returned to Castel Manor as quickly as possible.
However, as soon as he entered the manor, he felt that the atmosphere in the manor seemed to be wrong and quite depressing.
In the manor, the boys and girls who were originally very excited after being rescued now looked quite anxious.
Um
Sebastian's heart skipped a beat.
He flashed and reappeared in front of the study on the second floor of the manor and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
A tender and sweet female voice came from the room.
Sebastian opened the door, entered, and bowed respectfully:
"Master, I'm back."
When he looked up, he quickly saw the red wine and chairs that had been prepared on the table, and his expression was a little surprised.
Um
Did Lady Night already know he was coming back
"sit."
Behind the desk, Charlotte motioned for him to sit down.
Sebastian sat down at the desk respectfully and was about to speak, but Charlotte spoke first:
"Have you found out the location of the Drunken Dream Saloon?"
Sebastian was even more surprised.
However, he nodded quickly, took out a badge from his arms, placed it on the table, and said respectfully:
"Great Master, I haven't found Jordan yet, but... I found the token of the Drunken Dream Salon!"
"I have already found out the time and location of the next Drunken Dream Salon!"
Charlotte picked up the badge from the table and examined it.
It was a masked badge, shaped like a clown mask, decorated with stars and moons.
"good."
She nodded slightly.
Sebastian noticed something different in Charlotte's expression, and asked,
"Master...did something happen in the manor?"
Charlotte put the badge down and sighed:
"One out of six newcomers in the manor have not returned yet. They... disappeared last night."
Um
Sebastian's eyes narrowed.
"they?"
"Yes, they do."
Charlotte nodded and said coldly:
"Nine in total, all girls."
"They were taken away by the earliest 'local trial troops'."
