-62- The Great Priest... There is a big problem!
"Sorry...... Lord Charlotte, the High Priest said that he had been inspired in his sleep last night, and that he would pray all day this day, and would not accept any visits. ”
In the cathedral in the eastern city, looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, the young midshipman blushed slightly and bowed his head apologetically.
Divine revelation?
Charlotte frowned slightly.
"Meow? Divine revelation? Don't be funny, this is the seventh time this year that the Great Priest has received divine revelation, and the Great Priest is too favored by the Great Divine Lord, right? ”
Behind the girl, Ness shook the ball-like body and said in a strange voice.
The trainee priest's expression was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment, and Ness was already shouting in the church with a loud voice:
"Lord Priest! I'm Nice! Miss Charlotte of House Castel is here to visit you! ”
"Regarding the previous Bloodseeker case, Miss Charlotte has remembered some details to report to you, which is about the evil ...... of Thorn Rose."
Before Nice could utter the word in his mouth, the door to the central prayer room was buzzed open, and the figure of the Grand Priest Linus de Caen appeared in front of everyone.
With a black face, he looked coldly at the black cat holding the word "god" in his mouth, and scolded dissatisfiedly:
"What are you clamoring about?"
Seeing the Grand Priest appear, Ness immediately ducked behind Sherlock, and then pretended to look left and right, whistling to look at the scenery.
"Lord Priest."
Charlotte bowed to the High Priest.
Seeing Charlotte, the Grand Priest's expression was slightly unnatural, but he quickly returned to normal.
He became the kind old man again, and smiled kindly:
"Oh, it's Miss Charlotte."
"Don't you know what Miss Charlotte is doing with the old man?"
Naturally, he skipped the matter of the Thorn Rose and the evil god.
Charlotte, who knew all about this, did not continue to dwell on this issue, but went straight to the point:
"Lord Priest, I'm here for the Rosary Society."
"I just got the news that the Inquisition has taken action against the Rose Society and launched a divine judgment......"
The Great Priest's expression was abrupt:
"Oh...... That's what happened. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the growing curious gaze cast from inside 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 about it."
With that, he was the first to enter the prayer room.
Anxious, Charlotte was about to follow in, but suddenly stopped where she was.
Her gaze fell on the table in the prayer room.
I saw that two empty cups had already been placed there.
An old crystal cup, an empty goblet.
Next to the goblet, there was a jug of milk that was still steaming.
Next to the table, there is not the usual prayer prayer mat.
It's a bed and chair that's soft enough to fit two people.
Charlotte's gaze suddenly froze slightly.
"Miss Charlotte, won't you come in and sit down?"
Entering the prayer room, the high priest sitting on the seat smiled mildly and patted the empty seat beside him.
Charlotte, who was a two-life person and had a lot of experience in a certain area of knowledge, immediately became vigilant.
She stood at the door, shook her head slightly, bowed to the great priest, and said apologetically:
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Priest, but...... Let's talk about it in the hall. ”
"What I'm going to say is about the reputation of the Castelles, if you may...... I hope that all the priests and adults in the hall can testify. ”
As she spoke, Charlotte straightened her waist with the stubbornness of a girl, like a sincere child who wanted to maintain the honor of the family.
The Grand Priest raised his eyebrows.
He glanced deeply at the girl, and suddenly smiled slightly:
"Yes."
He got up slowly, walked out of the prayer room, and said:
"I heard...... You went to the outtown the other day to meet the Rose Society? ”
"Miss Charlotte, with all due respect, the Rose Society has been judged by the Judgment to be an evil group, but we must reduce our dealings with them!"
"Look at what they've done all these years."
As he spoke, the chief priest sighed, and ordered the priest on the side to take out a roll of parchment and hand it to the girl.
Charlotte took it, and her eyelids twitched.
This turned out to be an anonymous report letter!
And the report letter lists all kinds of crimes of the Rose Society in recent years!
However, Charlotte, who was familiar with what the Rose Society had done from Sebas, quickly saw traces of familiarity from these materials.
Like the whitewashing materials she has prepared these days, these materials also use Spring and Autumn brushwork, and some are even forged altogether.
Charlotte instantly understood that someone was targeting the Rose Society.
At this moment, there was a trace of hesitation in the girl's heart whether to continue to stand out for the Rose Club.
Now she just wants to wait quietly until she officially inherits the territory, and quickly leave this land of right and wrong, but she doesn't want to get involved in any conspiracy.
But she quickly pinched out the hesitation.
Although the Rose Society is an underground gangster, it has always done things in a measured manner, and in Sebas's words, it is their way of survival not to touch the bottom line of the church and the aristocracy.
But now that they are being targeted, it is clear that the Rose will do something different from before.
Combined with the recent movements of the Rose Society, the only thing that is different from before is that she has been in contact with her, the heir of Castel, and it can even be said that she is on her side.
It's no secret, just look at Sebas's clumsy disguise.
Everyone turned a blind eye, but in fact, their hearts were clear.
It's for me!
The Rose Society has formed some kind of protection for me now, and the people who are secretly targeting the Rose Society must dispose of this protection!
They are likely to be the same group as the Blood Demon Order that assassinated me before!
And once the Rose Society is eliminated, I'm afraid their next target will be me!
Charlotte's expression grew serious, and she soon had such a judgment.
"How? Miss Charlotte, you now know how serious the situation is, don't you? ”
The Grand Priest sighed.
Charlotte was silent.
She was calculating quickly in her heart, and soon she had a plan, and suddenly sighed slightly, and said:
"Lord Priest, this is a slander ......"
"Oh?"
The Grand Priest raised his eyebrows.
Charlotte took a deep breath and began to ramble nonsense:
"Lord Great Priest, I'm afraid that these materials were forged by the Blood Demon Sect."
"In case you don't know, Sebas, the president of the Rose Society, has been loyal to the Castel family for ten years."
"Boulder's underground gangster Rose Society is actually the peripheral strength of the Castel family, and the purpose of President Sebas's establishment of the Rose Society is precisely to investigate the Blood Demon Order and avenge my parents."
"The Rose Society may seem like a gangster, but in fact it has been maintaining order underground in Boulder in recent years......"
"They are also the power of Castel, and sooner or later they will also be the power of the Church!"
Listening to Charlotte's words, the high priest was slightly surprised:
"Oh...... It turns out that this is the case, and it is really my own family's fault for my own family! ”
As he spoke, he looked embarrassed again:
"But...... The old man can't give orders directly to the Inquisition. ”
"It's better to look at it like this, the old man first wrote a letter to the Knights of Judgment who moved, asking them not to kill them, and after the misunderstanding is clarified, then let go of the people of the Rose Society, what do you think?"
"However, the Grand Knight stationed in Boulder at the Inquisition is not a good talker, I think so, I will have a banquet for His Excellency the Grand Knight in the mansion tonight, and you will come here in person, and we will have a good chat together, and after the misunderstanding is clarified, everything will be easy to say."
The Grand Priest said with a smile.
Looking at his kind smile, Charlotte's heart sank vigorously.
She could see that the high priest was sloppy.
He didn't want to stand out for the Rose Club at all, and even said...... Didn't want to stand out for Castel.
Not only that, but he seems to have some kind of special interest in himself......
Combined with the other party's performance today, Charlotte realized a fact that made her a little creepy:
Grand Priest ...... I'm afraid there's a big problem!
