Chapter 590 89 Confrontation

Chapter 590 -89- Confrontation

The chief priest, Gregory XII, looked sincere and apologetic.

After giving a slight salute to Charlotte, he looked at Cardinal Filiberto and others who were imprisoned by the Holy Power, with suppressed anger in his disappointed expression:

"I never expected that my place, the Cardinal of the Royal Court, would stage such a despicable farce on such an important day!"

After saying that, the chief high priest looked at the knights of the trial who followed him and said coldly:

"The Knights of Judgment obey the order and escort these depraved traitors to the dungeons of the Inquisition! Use all means to find out the people behind them!"

Heretic...Heresy Inquisition?

After hearing the words of the chief priest, the expressions of the priests present changed.

The Holy Court is the most powerful religious organization on the continent, and the Tribunal of the Holy Court is also the religious trial department that makes all pagans on the road fearful.

Among the vertical institutions of the Inquisition, the most frightening one is the famous Inquisition of Heretics. This is a department that even the priests of the Holy Royal Court are talking about. Anyone suspected of being a heretic will not die after entering. You also have to shed a layer of skin.

Cardinal Priest Filiberto's eyes widened again.

He "oooooooo" wanted to speak, but his mouth sealed by the Holy Power could only utter a series of sobs.

Finally, after a constant struggle, he and the other rebels were escorted away by the Knights of Judgment.

"Your Highness the Saint, our Theocracy will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for what happened today!"

Gregory XII bowed to Charlotte again with a solemn expression.

Charlotte looked confused.

Although the other party's attitude was sincere and respectful, she had long been suspicious and was warned by the guarding artifact and did not believe the other party's words.

Perhaps in the eyes of other priests, the Chief Priest's arrival was quite timely. A second later, Filiberto might have been able to activate the artifact and cause greater casualties, but Charlotte knew clearly that the other party's arrival was too coincidental. .

Not everyone can control the artifact. Perhaps for Aaron, the second presiding judge, and Fabio, the deputy leader of the Templars, Filiberto, who controls the artifact, can threaten them, but as a myth and in control Charlotte, who has holy power, is not afraid of the cardinal who has lost her holy power.

Rather than suppressing the situation, Gregory XII's actions seemed to be the first to silence someone to prevent Philiberto from falling into Charlotte's hands.

However, what surprised Charlotte was that the information about the chief priest, Gregory XII, was still in the faith network.

This shows that he is still a holy believer and has not betrayed his faith.

But...is this really the case?

Recalling her conversation with the guarding artifact and the artifact's cautious request for help, Charlotte had some faint guesses in her mind.

"Your Majesty, Chief Ni, thank you for your concern. With the knights of the royal court here, my safety is not threatened."

Charlotte said.

"only……"

She changed the topic and looked at Filiberto and others who were being escorted down:

"You said you wanted to investigate the mastermind behind these degenerates. Could it be that... the high-level members of the Cardinal Priesthood have also been infiltrated by external forces?"

As soon as these words came out, the priests were slightly stunned, with different expressions.

The Cardinal Presiding Order is the central presiding group directly subordinate to the Chief Archpriest, and is also the highest religious institution in the Theocratic State.

Filiberto is one of the top five cardinals in the officiating group, and is also known as the chief confidant. This...

Aaron, the second judge, looked at the chief and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Before Filiberto became a cardinal, he had been performing his duties in the Eastern Diocese. I think... His Majesty the Chief may suspect that the vampires of the Selem clan are involved in this matter."

Grand Inquisitor Francesco said calmly.

Selem clan? !

The expressions of the priests changed slightly.

Good guy...

Is this going to be blamed on the vampires?

Charlotte narrowed her eyes, and the relevant information she had browsed appeared in her mind.

Let us say that the Holy Royal Court is divided into five major dioceses.

One is the central diocese that includes the Western Union Empire and the northern countries of the Union Peninsula, and is also the core diocese controlled by the clerical state.

The second one is dominated by the Crescent Kingdom, including the Fallen Star Kingdom and the Western Diocese where the Luna Coast city-state is located in the southern part of the Unite Peninsula. It is the second largest diocese in the diocese country after the Central Diocese, and is also called the Crescent Diocese.

The third is the northern diocese covering the Black Land of Eastern Unite and the Grand Duchy of the North, as well as the entire pan-northern region radiated by the Grand Duchy of the North.

The fourth is the eastern diocese centered on the Kingdom of Corea, including the Dragon's Back Mountains and many small eastern countries.

Finally, there is the southern part of the continent, which is bounded by the Moon God Sea and across the sea from the northern part of the Miria continent. This is the southern parish where the multi-ethnic united tribes of the southern continent are located.

Of all the dioceses, the most delicate is that of the Eastern Diocese.

This is because the most powerful political power in the Eastern Diocese is the Kingdom of Coria controlled by the Blood Tribe, and the relationship between the Eastern Diocese and the Kingdom of Coria is quite ambiguous.

The vampire clan that rules the Kingdom of Coria behind the scenes is the Selem clan, the clan of the pure white witch who has been hunting Sebas for many years.

"Your Majesty, Chief, could it be...that this is a conspiracy of those Selem vampires?!"

Fabio, the deputy leader of the Knights Templar, looked solemn.

Gregory XII sighed:

"It's just a guess. Recently, the blood clans in various regions of the continent have been quite active. The chief judge and I have judged that this may be due to some problems within the blood clan. There are rumors that an ancient myth has revived within the blood clan."

A blood clan myth has revived!

The priests and church knights all changed their expressions.

"A prince has revived within the blood clan? Could it be that... the news from the Crescent Diocese a few years ago is true?!"

"So... isn't that Luo..."

"Be careful! This attack is aimed at the Saint!"

"But the blood clan is not united, maybe..."

The priests talked a lot, and some priests couldn't help but look at Charlotte, and even some cardinals hesitated to speak.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes.

She knew what the rumors the priests were talking about were referring to.

That was probably the vision she created when she was promoted to demigod a few years ago.

Although the Holy Court did not catch any evidence, according to Nice, the Crescent Diocese did report the vision to the Theocracy, and also attached speculation about the "revival of the evil god".

Not only that, even the Blood Demon Cult was making trouble behind the scenes, distributing a lot of information about the "God of Dark Night".

According to Charlotte's inference, although everyone did not tear their faces apart on the surface, the top leaders of the Holy Court actually knew that there was a demigod in the Falling Star Kingdom who was called the God of Dark Night, but... it was most likely a demigod of the blood clan.

This is why the Theocracy invited Charlotte to come to watch the ceremony. The core of this ceremony was to test Charlotte.

It must be said that this chief high priest is really powerful.

Obviously, he was talking about the traitors in the Holy Court at the beginning, but in a few words, he turned the topic to the infiltration and internal struggle of the blood clan into the Holy Court, and also implicitly dragged her into the water.

After all, everyone knows that the control of the branch of the Church of the Falling Star Kingdom is actually in Charlotte's hands.

"Whether it was done by the blood clan, further judgment is needed. I hope that the chief Ni can allow me to participate in the interrogation. I also want to know what kind of force dares to take action in front of the Holy Palace in front of the gods."

Charlotte said calmly.

After this, many priests calmed down again.

Yes.

They just witnessed the "Glowing Track".

The "Glowing Track" is the proof of God's grace. It can only appear when the oracle descends, representing the attention of the Creator God Harald.

The identity of Her Highness the Saint can trigger the "Glowing Track" and even bring the vision of the revival of all things that can only be brought by the "Power of Creation". There must be no problem with the identity of Her Highness the Saint. She must be the Saint of the Royal Court!

Thinking of this, the priests who were just talking about it showed guilt again.

God is above!

Even God has personally blessed them. They... shouldn't doubt the identity of Her Highness the Saint!

The chief archbishop Gregory XII looked normal.

He nodded in agreement and said:

"Your Highness the Saint is right. Today's incident probably involves a clash of myths. The power of myths is beyond the imagination of us mortals. It is strange and unpredictable. We must be cautious."

"However, the interrogation can be handed over to the Inquisition. It is a place where light and darkness coexist. Many times, some special means have to be used, and those means should not appear in the sun, which will pollute the holy sight of our Lord."

After speaking, he turned to look at the chief judge Francesco beside him, and said solemnly:

"Your Excellency the Chief Judge, please do your best to find out who is behind these fallen people!"

"Of course, Your Highness, everything is for our Lord!"

The chief judge said solemnly.

After that, he looked at the trial knights on the side and said coldly:

"Take these traitors away!"

The trial knights saluted in unison, and then escorted several legends imprisoned by the Holy Light and a group of rebellious knights away.

"Your Highness..."

Gregory XII turned to look at Charlotte again, and said sincerely:

"You came to the Holy City from afar, and encountered today's incident. It is my dereliction of duty."

"Please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer about this riot!"

After that, Gregory XII made another gesture of invitation and smiled slightly:

"You have worked hard all the way, and today there is another false alarm. I believe you are tired. The royal court has prepared the best room and the most comfortable bath for you. At the same time, we have arranged for the royal chef from the Crescent Kingdom to prepare meals. Please move to the Holy Palace to rest."

After listening to Gregory XII's words, Charlotte's eyes were deep.

She looked at him deeply, then smiled slightly and said:

"In that case, I would like to thank you for your hospitality, Chief Ni."
