-13- The eldest lady of the wool

"Is she coming?"

"It's coming! It's already here! ”

"Where, where?"

"It's in the atrium! Pray with Lord Raoult! ”

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

Boulder Mission Hospital, in the corridor outside the annexed church.

The crowd was surging and bustling, and worshippers in different costumes rushed to tell each other and poured like a tidal wave towards the central hall of the church.

Among them were probationary priests in the church hospital, residents living in the neighborhood, and young nobles who came with their retinue.

This spectacle surprised the pedestrians passing by on the street who did not know the truth:

"What happened? How did you get so many people? ”

"yes, isn't the church here deserted on weekdays?"

"Is there any activity at the Mission Hospital today?"

"It's Miss Charlotte!"

The resident who was pulled said excitedly.

He pointed to the atrium not far away and continued:

"She's in church! It's been three days in a row! ”

"Miss Charlotte? How does the name sound familiar? ”

"Of course you'll be familiar, it's the eldest lady of the Castel family!"

"Castre? Is that Castre? A few days ago, the family was ruined, but after only seeing one side, the duke's illegitimate son was fascinated by the little beauty? ”

"That's right! That's her! ”

Everyone's eyes lit up:

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

Watching the excitement is always the pleasure of ordinary people, especially the pleasure of watching the aristocracy.

As if it went viral, passers-by quickly became excited and quickly joined the onlookers.

But at the center of the whirlpool, in the atrium of the church attached to the church hospital, was a sacred and solemn scene.

Ethereal chants cleanse people's hearts, and holy light shines in the lobby.

Raoult, the priest, was dressed in a white robe.

He held the scepter in one hand and the canon in the other, solemnly explaining the teachings of the Holy Court.

The Holy Light shone on him, making him look like a living messenger of the gods.

Light, holy, majestic......

However, as a sermon, he was not the center of attention.

Under the pedestal, a beautiful maiden dressed in a holy white dress with her hands folded and placed on her chest.

She sat on her knees, her eyes slightly closed, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her porcelain-like face was full of peace and sacredness.

The long golden hair shimmered like shimmering silk in the holy light, and naturally scattered to the ground.

Shiny light bolts shrouded in magic flew around her like dancing elves.

Angel......

She is an angel who has fallen into the mortal world!

This was the only thought on the minds of all who witnessed it.

The believers who listened to the church in the astile became more religious, and their eyes were full of admiration and fervor when they looked at the girl and the priest.

And the people who came to watch the beautiful aristocratic girl in the legend also involuntarily quieted down.

They were afraid to alarm the maiden who was praying.

They are afraid of destroying such a picture of sacredness, holiness, and beauty.

They were ashamed of themselves, and they felt that any disrespectful salute to the maiden at this moment was like a blasphemy against the gods......

There were even freelance artists who were attracted to watch all this excitedly, and couldn't wait to unfold the drawing board on the spot, wanting to depict this holy scene.

"Hallowed be thy name, our Lord in heaven, thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven......

The old priest solemnly finished the last prayer and gently put down the canon.

He stretched out his hand to his chest and reverently drew a ring cross:

"Praise the holy!"

"Praise the holy!"

The believers also drew the emblem on their chests and praised in unison.

The chant stopped, and the splendor that shrouded the atrium was removed by the priests.

Today's service is over.

Raoult, the priest, greeted the faithful slightly, and then left the church with the girl who had risen.

The atrium continued to be quiet for a moment before the solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The crowd watching outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, and they saw admiration and shock in each other's eyes.

"It's beautiful...... She's really beautiful...... No wonder so many people like it! ”

"God is above! Is she the daughter of a god? ”

"Worthy of the beauty of the Castells......"

"She's still the heir to the title! If anyone can pursue her, they can also get the wealth of the Castel family! ”

"Don't be delusional, even ordinary noble lords are afraid that they are not worthy of the Castel family!"

"But isn't the Castells in trouble? I heard that she was the only one left? ”

"It's pathetic...... She's not an adult, is she? ”

"Hey, even if someone is in trouble at home, the price of a meal alone on weekdays is your salary for a year."

"Yes, I heard that even the bed and toilet in the Castel family are made of gold!"

“……”

……

"Hehe, little Charlotte, how did I think about my proposal before?"

"Becoming a priest does not mean giving up the inheritance of the territory, as long as you do not hold a substantive position in the church, there are many noble priests in the church."

In the corridor of the church hospital, Dean Raoul walked side by side with Charlotte, with a kind smile on his old countenance:

"Seriously, I really appreciate you more and more, you are really suitable to be a priest, no...... Maybe she can even become a saint of the Cult of God in the future! ”

"Did you find out? With you, there are many more believers coming to church these days, and even the priests are working harder. ”

"How? Little Charlotte, would you like to join the Cult? ”

Charlotte smiled sweetly.

She skillfully drew a ring cross on her chest and did not answer directly:

"Grandpa Raoult, I'll think about it again."

Dean Raoul nodded lightly in understanding:

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, you must have some other concerns."

"However, I am telling the truth, you are very compatible with the divine powers, and it is not common for you to be surrounded by radiance every prayer."

"You see, even the power of God loves you and is scrambling to bless you!"

Of course, they all wanted to purify me, but in the end I persuaded them to change their minds......

Charlotte smiled and held her chest slightly up, like a proud kitten:

"Of course, I'm a devout believer!"

"I feel very honored and happy to be able to attend the service you are hosting in person!"

She was really happy.

The second-order priest deserves to be a second-order priest.

Today's service, she gathered more wool through the divine ritual than all the previous days combined!

Dean Raoul bowed slightly, smiling as well.

He had no doubts about the girl's devotion to faith.

"The wound has healed completely?"

"Thanks to you and the priests, I have healed, and I haven't left a single scar."

"No, it's all because you're a devout believer in the Divine Spirit, and you're being favored by my Lord."

The old priest shook his head gently.

"Officially discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"It's a pity, I need to go to the cathedral tomorrow to meet His Excellency the Grand Priest, and I can't see you off in person."

"Don't bother, Sister Lottie has already informed the family for me, and there will be a servant in the family to pick me up."

"But Castel Manor...... Oh yes, the Castels still have some shops in the city, and they're all normal. ”

"Hmmm......"

When it came to the Castel family, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

After a moment, Raoul let out a long sigh and patted Charlotte lightly on the shoulder:

"Little Charlotte."

"Hmmm......"

"I've heard some not-so-good rumors lately...... After I was discharged from the hospital, if I encountered any difficulties that could not be solved, I would send someone to find me, and I was still a little thin in the Divine Cult, and the high priest could also say something from them. ”

Charlotte paused slightly.

She slowly raised her head, and what she saw was the clear eyes of the old priest who were full of determination and compassion.

A hint of warmth floated in her heart, and Charlotte nodded lightly:

"Thank you, Grandpa Raoult."

This time, she didn't use the deliberately cute tone she usually has.

The old priest smiled.

I was smiling very happily.

"Well, enjoy the peace of the Mission Hospital again! I've helped you stop a lot of nobles from visiting you these days, huh...... You don't seem to like dealing with them very much. ”

"However, after you are discharged from the hospital, I can't help you!"

After saying that, Raoul gently rubbed the silly hair on the top of the girl's head, laughed and left.

Seeing the other party leave, Charlotte sighed softly.

Although the old priest had the selfish intention of wanting to pull her into the church, he was indeed genuinely good for her.

This made her feel a little guilty of deceiving the other party.

Of course, this trace of guilt only disappeared in a flash.

After all, surviving in another world is her number one priority now.

Back in her room, Charlotte closed the door.

On the bookcase at the head of the bed were several layers of thick books, all of which she had borrowed from the church in the past few days.

She has been hospitalized for six days.

By the third day, her wounds had healed.

In the past few days, in addition to trying to find a way to gather the wool of the church, the rest of the time Charlotte is either reading a book or testing her current physical state.

She quietly took the item and tested it.

Although this body is only fifteen years old, the energy it contains is probably enough to easily knock down three strong men.

Whether it's speed, strength, or stamina, it's very strong.

Ordinary people, not her opponents at all.

And if it falls after nightfall, her physical fitness in all aspects will rise to a higher level, directly doubled!

Correspondingly, however, she does have some obvious weaknesses.

Bloodlines are indeed bloodlines.

Through these days of observation and experimentation, she discovered that she was indeed afraid of the sun, as the legend says.

It's okay to stay in the room, and the light such as candlelight is fine.

But when she was exposed to the sun, her skin would have a noticeable burning pain.

The time is short and you can't see anything.

However, if you stay for a longer period of time, your skin will gradually become red and blistered, and your body temperature will rise sharply.

Charlotte didn't dare to stay long.

She estimated that if she stayed longer, her life would probably be in danger.

Although she wasn't sure if she would trigger the protection mechanism of the Blood Sacred Text or something, now that she was in the church, it was better not to gamble or not.

Not only that, but Charlotte can also feel extremely tired in direct sunlight.

There will be a significant decline in all aspects of physical fitness, almost 50% reduction.

But other than that, garlic, silverware, crosses, and the like didn't pose any threat to her.

Excludes Divine Arts.

The divine magic of the Divine Court was very strong against her.

Fortunately, she has the divine countermeasures of the "Blood Sacred Scripture" to deceive, but on the contrary, she has the least to worry about.

It's just that you can't bask in the sun in the future.

But nothing is absolute.

As a pioneer in the fight against the "Bloodline Demon", the Church Hospital's collection also contains many records of the Bloodline.

And some books mention that some powerful bloodlines can ignore the sun's rays, and some bloodlines with special bloodline talents can also walk freely in the sun.

In other words, if she can continue to improve her strength, Charlotte will also be able to stand in the sun one day.

In addition, Charlotte also has a certain understanding of the transcendent power system of the world of Miria.

The transcendent division of this world is not as complicated and cumbersome as in many of the novels she has read in her previous life.

On the contrary, it is quite simple and crude.

In this world, there are four levels of supernatural power.

From weak to strong, they are the first order of the stars, the second order of the silver moon, the third order of the blazing sun, and the fourth order of the legend.

Below the first order of stars, there is also a special stage between the mortal and the extraordinary, which is generally called the apprentice level, the attendant level, the apprentice level, or the zero level.

This refers to those who possess extraordinary powers, but whose strength is not enough to completely transcend the limits of mortals, or to cause "divine magic" and "miracles" on their own.

For example, Charlotte now.

As for the fourth order of the legend, it is the realm of the gods that mortals cannot touch.

The realm of the gods is for mythology.

It was a being that mortals looked up to.

Mythology is all gods, but can be subdivided into demigods and true gods.

For example, the Blood Demon Grand Duke, the object of the old witch's sacrifice, is a demigod and one of the evil gods officially recognized by the Holy Court.

These materials were all read by Charlotte from church books.

It's a shame, it's clear that the supreme artifact of the blood clan, the Blood Sacred Codex, is in her hands, but this artifact is too mutilated, and she still has to find a lot of knowledge in the church.

Fortunately, through the past few days of wool picking, the charging of the Call of Blood has finally been completed.

Charlotte plans to give it a try when she returns to the manor tomorrow after leaving the church.

Sitting back on the bed, Charlotte felt a little thirsty.

She poured herself a glass of water, intending to read a book for a while.

However, after drinking the water, the thirst did not weaken, but became stronger.

Charlotte's heart jumped.

Her "blood addiction" seems to be about to be committed......
