Chapter 595 94 Undercurrent

Chapter 595 -94- Undercurrents

After the "Cardinal Rebellion", Charlotte lived in the Holy Palace.

It must be said that the effect of the "miracle" in front of the sculpture square is very significant.

When she first arrived at the Theocracy, Charlotte could still clearly feel the vigilance of many priests towards her, but after she showed the "miracle", everything changed.

The continuous requests for audiences, the endless supply of offerings, the clergy in the Holy Palace treated her even more attentively than the servants of the Falling Star Kingdom.

Almost all of her requests would be met, and any information she wanted to see would be delivered almost immediately. Even if Charlotte wanted to see some secrets and banned books of the church, she only needed to tell the serving priests, and they would be delivered in the afternoon at the latest if she said it in the morning.

It can only be said that the power of faith is really strong. Charlotte can even see shining stars in the eyes of the priests and knights looking at her. The almost overflowing enthusiasm even made her, the "fake saint", feel a little guilty.

The food delivered by the Holy Palace every day is also different, and they are all special delicacies of the Falling Star Kingdom and the New Moon Kingdom. Many of them are even rare treasures that the Falling Star Royal Family rarely supplies, especially those extraordinary ingredients that are beneficial to the body and contain magic. It is obvious that they are very thoughtful.

As for the saint's clothes and the holy vessels that match the saint's identity, they have already been equipped with a full set. In Nice's words, the most inconspicuous holy cross earrings among the various sacred ornaments sent by the Theocracy alone are probably worth six figures on the black market.

Even Charlotte has not yet completed the formal certification of her saint's identity.

Not only that, the Theocracy even wants to arrange for her to have hundreds of female priests who believe in God to accompany her.

Of course, Charlotte declined them all.

Too enthusiastic, too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that even Charlotte felt uncomfortable.

She felt like an idol who became popular overnight in the Celestial Empire in her previous life.

No, it should be said that she is more outrageous than an idol. The clergy of the Holy Palace are more exaggerated than the fanatical fans in the previous life after seeing her.

It can only be said that after the "miracle", the Theocracy really regarded her as a messenger of God and a member of the church.

At least... on the surface.

As for why it is said on the surface, it is because Charlotte suspects that this is also a way for the Temple of the Sun to paralyze her.

To be honest, if Charlotte had not learned from the Guardian Staff that the Theocracy had been infiltrated like a sieve, she might really believe in the enthusiasm of the Theocracy.

Enthusiasm, there must be, those true believers do respect and worship her from the bottom of their hearts, especially those high priests who want to visit her. The praise and piety in various letters are difficult to write if they are not from the heart.

But on the other hand, this is probably the calm before the storm.

Charlotte can feel that the sense of threat in the dark still exists, not only that, but as time goes by, there is a trend of getting stronger and stronger.

However, Charlotte could not sense what it was, as if something was blocking her exploration. She had reason to suspect that it should be some kind of artifact collected by the Holy Royal Court that could isolate exploration or divination.

It was not convenient for Charlotte to explore it herself.

It was also a side effect after the miracle. She almost became the only focus of the entire Holy Palace. Almost all eyes were on her, which made it impossible for her to act alone.

Charlotte even suspected that this was the purpose of the Temple of the Sun, to "trap" her in the Holy Palace.

Charlotte did not think about leaving the Holy Palace and going to the Holy City, but she gave up after going out once and experiencing the fanaticism of the priests and believers.

Taking on the identity of "Saint", Charlotte was also shackled, so that she could not move freely like before.

There was no way. Just like the Temple of the Sun did not want to be exposed, Charlotte could not reveal that she had noticed the secrets of the Temple of the Sun.

Fortunately, Charlotte still had her own followers.

After thinking about it, Charlotte finally let Sebastian and Nice go to investigate on her behalf, while she directed the matter behind the scenes through the connection with the two, and used the vampire magic to fake the illusion that the person and the cat had not left.

That's right, Charlotte couldn't investigate in person, but she could use Sebastian and Nice as her eyes.

Not only that, if it really came to a special moment, she could also use the connection between the two to perform a divine descent!

As for the Guarding Staff, the task of tracking the traces of the vampire captives was also underway, and it was carried out simultaneously with Charlotte's task of finding the source of the threat.

In addition, Charlotte strengthened her connection with the Holy King's Faith Network every day with the help of the Guarding Staff.

This was to prepare for her to seize control of the artifact later.

As for how to strengthen it, it was very simple, that is, to pray according to the ritual provided by the Guarding Staff.

The identity of the Guardian Staff should be no problem. Charlotte has repeatedly proved that it is indeed the artifact of the Lord Harald and has no ill will towards Charlotte. Through the rituals it provides, Charlotte clearly feels that her compatibility with the faith of the Holy Court is gradually increasing.

Not only that, as her omnipotence gradually improves, Charlotte is surprised to find that she can even grant her followers such as Sebastian and Nice the use of divine power to a certain extent, just like the ability of the Blood Follower.

This also proves that the divine power of blood and the divine power are indeed from the same source.

However, Charlotte wanted to participate in the trial of Cardinal Filiberto, but was declined by the trial court.

In the words of the Grand Inquisitor, the Heretic Trial is the darkness in the royal court. The Trial does not want to stain Charlotte's eyes.

Charlotte was not surprised by this.

According to the Staff of Guard, there is a big problem with the Chief Priest, Gregory XII, and the Grand Inquisitor, who is his cronies, must not be able to escape either.

On the other hand, as for the Knights Templar and Demon Hunt, Charlotte felt that the penetration of the Sun Temple should not be that deep.

But to be on the safe side, Charlotte did not contact the Templars and the Demon Hunt rashly.

As for the daily invitations and requests for visits, Charlotte also declined them because she was really unavailable.

It would be wisest for the priest to hand over the intelligence gathering to the Guarding Staff. If she did it herself, she might be discovered.

Time passed day by day, and four days later, Charlotte received news from the trial court.

The "truth" and "the man behind" Cardinal Filiberto's rebellion... have been found out.

"The trial court said that there are some corrupt priests who want to subvert the religious power of the Theocracy. The leaders are four cardinals including Filiberto."

"Nice and I quietly verified using the magic you taught us. Like Filiberto, the priests who were arrested also had no sacred faith."

Sebastian reported after inquiring about the information.

"What about Filiberto?"

Charlotte asked.

"He died. According to the court, he committed suicide out of fear of guilt."

Sebastian replied.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

It seems that Filiberto should have been silenced. Maybe he knows the most among the "false believers" who were arrested.

However, it would be nice to simply silence the priests and knights in the rebellion. Why did the Tribunal really follow up and arrest so many "false believers" who were not exposed?

Among them, there is even a cardinal officiating, which is at the legendary level.

This seems unnecessary, after all, these "false believers" also appear to be sun believers.

It can't be that the trial court is really "investigating the case", right?

Or is it that Gregory XII was worried that Charlotte would find them out first and find out something later?

But that's not the case, she hasn't taken any action these days.

has a problem.

There is a big problem with this.

There is a driving force behind any action.

So... what is the reason why the Sun Temple, which wants to deal with the myth of Charlotte, continues to expose and even kill some high-level Sun believers?

Or is it that "dealing" with these sun believers who have no sacred beliefs will also be helpful for their next plan?

Charlotte was lost in thought.
