"Lottie, I need an explanation."
The man leaned back slightly, his pale gray eyes coldly looking at the girl in front of him.
Lottie was silent for a moment and then said:
"Charlotte is secretly protected by the church's Nice. Even without Sebastian, there is still a risk of being exposed... I have never found an opportunity."
"Oh, so that's the case. I thought you took care of her for half a month and you couldn't bear it."
The man nodded and smiled again.
However, as he laughed, he changed the subject:
"But, there is still one problem..."
"My informant told me that three days ago, someone who looked like a member of the church reported the matter to the Rose Society."
"There shouldn't be many people in the church who know about the Holy Judgment. I know it's not you, but... I still want to ask, where were you that morning?"
As he spoke, the man looked deeply at the other person again.
Lottie replied calmly:
"That day, I stayed in the mission hospital."
"Okay, I believe you are not lying. After all, this matter can be easily found out. But... do you have any idea about who reported the incident?"
The man asked, playing with the star map in his hand.
Lottie was silent for a moment and shook her head:
"I have no idea."
After hearing Lottie's answer, the man didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly.
Lottie lowered her head in a respectful manner.
"Well, maybe the news leaked from the high priest. You go down first. Jordan will host the Drunken Dream Salon tonight. You've been quite tired recently, so take a good rest."
The man smiled and ordered them to leave.
Lottie trembled slightly, bowed respectfully, and slowly left.
After she left, the man stopped smiling and his eyes turned cold.
Behind him, black mist filled the air, and hunched figures slowly emerged, speaking in hoarse, teasing voices:
"Haha, this little guy was lying in the end."
"Of course I know. After all... she has been loyal to me since the beginning, and her motives are not pure."
The man said calmly.
"But you still accepted her, even though you knew her motives were not pure."
"Of course, because we need her. We need her to complete the final ritual and as an anchor to control the container."
The man narrowed his eyes.
After saying this, he looked at the hunched black shadow:
"Did you hear everything that was just said?"
"Hey, I heard that the Great Knight is dead. It seems... we have to speed up our actions."
"How sure are you? I don't want to repeat the same mistake I made ten years ago."
"Don't worry, it's stable this time. The container has almost recovered. The only hidden danger may be the resurrected evil god a few days ago. Bolder has no power that can threaten the Great Knight, except... the evil god."
"A thorny rose..."
The man seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, he had an idea:
"You said... Could the fact that the Rose Society was able to pass the Holy Light Trial also be related to this mysterious evil god? After all, the Great Knight was hunting down the president of the Rose Society at the time... Could it be that this evil god was behind this?"
"Evil God? You think too much. If the Evil God can deceive the Holy Light Judgment, then our Blood Demon Cult doesn't need to hide like we are doing now. Don't underestimate the power of the Lord God. He is the leader of all gods and the uncrowned king of all gods."
The figure of Ju Lu shook his head.
"so… "
The man nodded slightly.
"Okay, stop imagining. No matter who this resurrected evil god is, we won't be his enemy. Let the Holy King's Court worry about this matter. We just need to complete the ceremony. Once successful, you and I will become messengers of God! By then, I will be the Lord's agent walking on the earth, and you... will be the master of Bolder!"
"Hey, forget about being a God's messenger. I'm not interested in being one. I still have to deal with the Holy King's Court. I don't want to be burned to death as a heretic. Your secret friendship is enough for me."
The man chuckled.
As he spoke, he had another thought:
"You just said that the container has almost recovered? How did you know?"
"Hey, guess."
The figure of Ju Lu laughed.
…
Walking out of the study, Lottie put on her hood and mask again.
She did not leave the dungeon directly, but went along the long corridor in another direction.
At the end of the corridor was a tightly closed stone door, in front of which stood two figures in black robes guarding it.
They had a powerful aura and were obviously two first-level transcendents of the Stars.
In front of the door, there was a little girl in a white dress and bare feet, squatting on the ground playing.
She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and looked about 70% similar to Lottie, with the same brown hair and brown eyes.
When she saw Lottie, her eyes lit up, she stood up quickly and cheered:
"Lottie!"
After saying that, she ran towards Lottie, but her petite body passed through Lottie directly...
"Open the door. I want to go in and check the condition of the container."
Lottie said to the two black-robed transcendents guarding the gate.
She seemed to have completely missed the girl.
"Sir, the high priest has said that no one except him can enter in the near future."
The two men in black robes remained unmoved.
Lottie frowned.
"Open the door."
She repeated it.
The two men in black robes remained unmoved.
Lottie clenched her fists.
She took a deep breath, looked at the two of them deeply, and turned away.
"Hey, hey! Lottie! Can't you see me!"
Seeing Lottie was about to leave, the girl quickly chased after her.
As if sensing something, Lottie turned her head, but all she saw was the dim candlelight in the underground corridor.
Looking at the flickering candlelight, her eyes were somewhat confused.
After staying for a moment, she withdrew her gaze, hesitated for a moment, and left the dungeon.
"Lottie!"
The girl shouted again and was about to catch up.
However, a hoarse voice sounded behind her:
"Haha, Miss Mary, stop shouting. No one can see you except me."
Hearing the voice, the girl trembled slightly and jumped to the side like a frightened animal.
She turned around and looked at the figure behind her. A hint of disgust flashed in her bright eyes:
"It's you?"
"Yes, it's me."
The figure of Ju Lu laughed.
As he spoke, he looked the girl up and down and narrowed his eyes:
"It seems that you have recovered well recently. In addition to taking advantage of the Drunken Dream Salon's rituals to save some girls, you have also started to appear in the dreams of the people of the Rose Society..."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
The girl frowned.
"Hey, stop pretending. I know it was you who leaked the information. You even disguised yourself as a church member in your dream, making the people of the Rose Society think it was real."
"How stupid! Don't forget who made you conscious again, and what power allowed you to continue living..."
"If this means living at the expense of others, then I would rather die."
The girl said coldly.
The figure of Ju Lu sneered:
"Then I advise you to be honest. If... you don't want Lottie to get into trouble, then stay alive and don't even think about passing on any information."
The girl's expression changed instantly:
"Are you threatening me?"
"Hey, so what? Then Miss Broglie, are you going to listen or not?"
Ju Lu's figure said indifferently.
The girl clenched her fists and gritted her teeth:
"If you dare to attack my sister, I will never let you go!"
…
Leaving the secret room, Lottie returned to the ground.
The bright sunlight shone through the windows of the manor and was a little dazzling.
Looking back at the door of the secret room behind him, Lottie clenched his fists and muttered:
"I know you must still be alive, somewhere in Boulder..."
"Otherwise, the Blood Demon Cult will not continue with the ritual..."
"No matter what the cost, I will definitely rescue you."
"elder sister… "
After saying that, she let out a breath and walked out of the manor.
However, when Lottie was about to leave the manor gate, he was stopped by the guard at the gate:
"Lord Lottie, the Earl has ordered that you cannot leave the manor for the next period of time."
