Chapter 62 62 The High Priest Has a Big Problem!
Chapter 62 -62- The High Priest... has a big problem!
"Sorry... Lord Charlotte, the High Priest said that he received divine revelation in his dream last night. He will pray all day today and will not accept any visits."
In the cathedral in the eastern city, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him who was exhausted, the young trainee priest blushed and lowered his head with apology.
Divine revelation?
Charlotte frowned slightly.
"Meow? Divine revelation? Don't be funny, this is the seventh time that the High Priest has received divine revelation this year. Isn't the High Priest too favored by the great Lord God?"
Behind the girl, Nice swayed his spherical body and said in a yin-yang tone.
The trainee priest looked a little embarrassed.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment, and Nice had already shouted in the church:
"High Priest! I'm Nice! Miss Charlotte of the Castel family is here to visit you!"
"Regarding the previous blood demon case, Miss Charlotte remembered some details to report to you, which is about the evil of thorn roses..."
Before Nice shouted the word "God", the door of the central prayer room was opened with a buzz, and the figure of High Priest Linus de Caen appeared in front of everyone.
He had a dark face, coldly looked at the black cat who held the word "God" in his mouth, and scolded dissatisfiedly:
"What are you doing in this important place of the church?"
Seeing the High Priest appear, Nice immediately hid behind Sherlock, and then pretended to look around, whistling and watching the scenery.
"High Priest."
Charlotte saluted the High Priest.
Seeing Charlotte, the High Priest's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly returned to normal.
He turned into the kind old man again, smiling kindly:
"Haha, it's Miss Charlotte."
"I wonder what Miss Charlotte wants to see me for?"
He naturally skipped the matter of the thorny rose and the evil god.
Charlotte, who knew all the ins and outs of this, did not continue to dwell on this issue, but came straight to the point:
"Master High Priest, I'm here for the Rose Society."
"Just now I got the news that the Inquisition has taken action against the Rose Society and launched a sacred judgment..."
The High Priest looked suddenly enlightened:
"Oh... So it's this matter."
As he spoke, he glanced at the increasing number of curious eyes in the church, pointed to the empty prayer room behind him, and interrupted the girl's words:
"It's not convenient to talk here, come in and talk."
After speaking, he took the lead in entering the prayer room.
Charlotte was about to follow in anxiously, but suddenly stopped where she was.
Her eyes fell on the table in the prayer room.
There, two empty cups had already been placed.
An old crystal cup and an empty goblet.
Next to the goblet, there was a pot of steaming milk.
Next to the table, there was not a common confession mat for prayer.
Instead, there was a soft bed chair that looked like it could accommodate two people.
Charlotte's eyes suddenly condensed.
"Miss Charlotte, don't you want to come in and sit down?"
Entering the prayer room, the high priest sitting on the chair smiled gently and patted the empty seat next to him.
Having lived two lives and having rich experience in certain aspects of knowledge, Charlotte immediately became alert.
She stood at the door, shook her head slightly, bowed to the high priest, and said apologetically:
"High priest, thank you for your kindness, but... let's talk in the hall."
"What I want to say is related to the reputation of the Castel family. If possible... I hope that the priests in the hall can all be witnesses."
As she said that, Charlotte straightened her back, with a girl's stubborn look, like a sincere child who wanted to protect the family's honor.
The high priest raised his eyebrows.
He looked at the girl deeply, and suddenly smiled:
"Okay."
He slowly stood up, walked out of the prayer room, and said:
"I heard... you went to the outer city to meet the people of the Rose Society a few days ago?"
"Miss Charlotte, forgive me for being blunt, the Rose Society has been judged as an evil group by the trial, so you have to reduce your contact with them!"
"Let's see what they have done in these years."
As he said that, the high priest sighed, ordered the priest beside him to take out a roll of parchment, and handed it to the girl.
Charlotte took it and her eyelids raised immediately.
This turned out to be an anonymous report letter!
The report letter listed all the crimes of the Rose Society in recent years!
However, Charlotte, who had asked Sebastian for information about the Rose Society and was familiar with what the Rose Society had done, soon saw familiar traces in these materials.
Like the whitewashing materials she prepared these days, these materials also used the Spring and Autumn style, and some were even forged.
Charlotte understood instantly that someone was targeting the Rose Society.
At this moment, the girl hesitated whether to continue to stand up for the Rose Society.
She just wanted to wait quietly until she officially inherited the territory and quickly leave this place of trouble to grow up, but she didn't want to get involved in any conspiracy.
But she quickly cut off this hesitation.
Although the Rose Society is an underground gang, it has always been careful about what it does. In Sebastian's words, not touching the bottom line of the church and the nobles is their way of survival.
But now they are being targeted, it is obvious that the Rose Society has done something different from before.
And combined with the recent movements of the Rose Society, the only difference from before is that they have contacted her, the heir of Castel, and can even be said to be on her side.
This is not a secret, just look at Sebastian's poor disguise.
Everyone turned a blind eye, but in fact they knew everything.
This is aimed at me!
The Rose Society now has a certain protection for me, and those who secretly target the Rose Society must get rid of this protection!
They are likely to be a group of people with the Blood Demon Cult that assassinated me before!
And once the Rose Society is eliminated, I am afraid that their next target will be me!
Charlotte's expression gradually became serious, and soon she made such a judgment.
"How is it? Miss Charlotte, do you know how serious the situation is now?"
The high priest sighed.
Charlotte was silent.
She was calculating quickly in her heart, and soon she had a plan, and suddenly sighed slightly, saying:
"High Priest, this is slander..."
"Oh?"
The high priest raised his eyebrows.
Charlotte took a deep breath and started to talk nonsense:
"High Priest, these materials are probably forged by the Blood Demon Cult."
"Perhaps you don't know, in fact, the president of the Rose Society, Sebastian, pledged allegiance to the Castel family ten years ago."
"The underground gang Rose Society in Borde is actually a peripheral force of the Castel family, and the purpose of President Sebastian to establish the Rose Society is to investigate the Blood Demon Cult and avenge my parents."
"The Rose Society looks like a gang, but in fact it has been maintaining the underground order of Borde in recent years..."
"They are also the power of Castel, and sooner or later they will also be the power of the church in the future!"
After listening to Charlotte's words, the High Priest Wei Wei suddenly realized:
"Oh... So that's how it is. It's really a family member who blames a family member wrongly!"
He then looked embarrassed:
"But... I can't give orders directly to the Inquisition."
"However, how about this? I will write a letter to the Inquisition Knights and ask them not to kill. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, the people from the Rose Society will be released. What do you think?"
"However, the Grand Knight stationed in Boulder by the Inquisition is not an easy person to talk to. I think this way, I will host a banquet for the Grand Knight in the mansion tonight, and you will come in person at that time. Let's have a good chat together. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be easy to talk about."
The High Priest said with a smile.
Looking at his kind smile, Charlotte's heart sank.
She saw that the High Priest was playing tricks.
He didn't want to stand up for the Rose Society at all, and even...he didn't want to stand up for Castel.
Not only that, he seemed to have some special interest in me...
Combining the other party's various performances today, Charlotte realized a fact that made her a little creepy:
The high priest... I'm afraid there is a big problem!
Thanks to everyone's various suggestions during the day, I already know where my problem lies. Next, I will adjust myself, stabilize the plot and write well, try to speed up the pace and increase the excitement without affecting the foreshadowing, and try to meet everyone's needs as much as possible.
