Chapter 144 -143- The Nervous High Priest

Castel's convoy stayed in Boulder City for two days and then left.

After that night, Baron Sharon did not ask Charlotte the same question again, and the matter of donating land to the church seemed to have been forgotten by him.

Charlotte guessed from the other party's vague attitude that the other party should have known that she had not signed a contract with the church, and thus was likely to realize that she was only temporarily borrowing the power of the church.

The other party did not ask again, and Charlotte would not explain.

No, it should be said that even if she asked, she would not explain, so as not to leave a handle.

This is good, at least the baron can bring his attitude back to the territory, and can also temporarily reassure those vassals who have never met.

The convoy left, and Castel Manor returned to its former tranquility.

After getting the money, Charlotte's first thing was to send Quasimodo to redeem all the collections she had sold.

She was still thinking about this matter, and she had promised the old servant Quasimodo that she would naturally not break the promise.

After that, Charlotte's daily life returned to the old routine.

Worship, exercise, reading...

In addition to the new talents and spells in training, the new territory information in reading, and the time spent every day investigating and pondering the means to increase divine power... It was no different from the past.

There was no way. As time went by, the death of the Great Knight gradually fermented, and the vision of Charlotte's True Ancestor's liberation that night was mentioned again and again.

She had to keep a low profile.

Especially after some extraordinary people made a judgment that the vision that night was indeed the descending Flame Demon...

Then it became lively.

Even if the church appeased many times, it was inevitable that people would be curious about the existence of the one who defeated the Flame Demon that night.

Some speculated that it was a passing legend, some speculated that it was a messenger of the church, and some speculated that it was the incarnation of the Lord Harald, but at the same time, some speculated that it was a mysterious evil god...

What's more, some people linked the two together, thinking that the death of the Great Knight of the Inquisition might also be related to the vision that night.

For a time, all kinds of remarks were rampant.

However, there is a theory that has been confirmed by the church.

That is, the vision that night was a conspiracy of the Blood Demon Cult, but it has been thwarted by the church.

At the same time, with the exposure of the Drunken Dream Salon, the Duke's Mansion also launched a purge and hunt for related noble families...

The reason for the purge is very sufficient, participating in the evil and corrupt Drunken Dream Salon and colluding with the Blood Demon Cult!

This has shifted the residents' attention to the nobles again.

No citizen is unwilling to watch the fun of the nobles, especially this kind of "sweeping away the underworld and eliminating evil"-like purge.

For a time, the reputation of the Bolde family continued to rise with the purge of the nobles involved, especially the Duke's son Leno who led the team.

"Haha, Master, it seems that the old Duke is paving the way for Mr. Leno's succession. This is really a great move. It can not only strike the noble forces, protect the new Duke, but also increase the authority of the new Duke..."

"I now even doubt whether the old Duke has known about the Drunken Dream Salon for a long time and has such a plan."

Pouring a cup of hot milk for Charlotte who was reading the "Sacred Code", Sebastian sneered.

Charlotte shook her head slightly:

"Let him go for now. No matter what the original intention is, it is a good thing to clean up these noble parasites."

"But it's not just about cleaning up the parasites, my noble master. According to your order, I secretly ordered the Rose Society to track down the nobles who were attacked. Most of them are indeed participants in the Drunken Dream Salon, but there are also many innocent people."

"It is obvious that the old duke is taking advantage of the purge of demon-related nobles to suppress dissidents."

Sebastian said.

"How are the nobles who were affected?"

Charlotte asked.

"Most of them are not clean at first, but there are also some good people. They are just suppressed by the old duke because they are the opponents of Leno's succession. These people...the Rose Society has helped them escape as much as possible."

"You keep all the evidence, right?"

"Of course, you keep all of it."

"Very good, when the evaluation team of the Holy King's Court arrives, it will be handed over to Captain Kara together with the information of the high priest."

Charlotte said.

And after so many changes, the Holy King's Court did not send the priests to check immediately.

At first, Charlotte was a little confused.

She was ready to deal with the legendary priest, but many days passed without any news.

Charlotte didn't know what happened until she got the "information" from the high priest.

It turned out that not long after she defeated the Blood Demon Cult's plan, the high priest of the Crescent Parish of the Holy Royal Court was replaced.

The handover of the old and new powers is bound to be accompanied by more or less chaos.

In addition, although something happened in Bolde, the incident was "successfully suppressed" by the church, and the high priest was constantly sending the signal that "nothing happened here", so... the upper level didn't send anyone down immediately.

But not sending anyone down immediately doesn't mean not sending anyone down.

The vision of Bolde is well known, and it can't be concealed.

After the new high priest of the parish made an instruction, the work of investigating the Blood Demon Cult incident in the Principality of Bolde fell on the evaluation team that was going to the principality for evaluation.

As for the evaluation team... that is the team of the Holy King Court to evaluate the work of the priests. It is jointly formed by the Knights of the Inquisition and the priests of the church. It is specifically for the purpose of evaluating candidates when they compete for the position of the chief priest.

In other words, the evaluation team is aimed at the high priest, and is specifically for evaluating whether the high priest has the conditions to compete for the position of the chief priest.

This is the last step before the competition for the chief priest. As long as it is successfully completed and voted by the evaluation team, the high priest may realize his dream of being the chief priest.

The high priest is happy and worried.

The good thing is that after his efforts, plus a little bit of luck, the Holy King Court is very likely not to send a legend to investigate.

The worry is that the investigation task falls on the evaluation team, and the investigation of him will only be more strict.

Although he has done his best to take care of all parties, the evaluation team should not have made it too difficult for him.

But the newly added investigation task disrupted his plan all of a sudden.

There is no other reason. The evaluation task is led by the priests of the church, while the investigation task is led by the Inquisition.

In order to balance power, the diocese simply appointed a new chief examiner, a righteous and experienced duke.

The other party was also a third-level Blazing Sun, even stronger than the high priest.

"Great God of Dark Night, the humble Linus prays to you for protection and help me pass the assessment smoothly..."

Facing the altar, the high priest prayed respectfully.

After praying, he did not forget to take out the various secret materials of the church he had collected and read them out one by one in front of the altar.

There was no way, the God of Dark Night disdained to accept the sacrifice (actually he would not), so he could only pass the information in this way.

After reading the information and looking at the flickering candlelight, the high priest felt more at ease.
