-63- Charlotte's response
Charlotte soon came out of the cathedral.
She knew that the Grand Priest was unreliable.
This is unusual.
The high priest also needs the support of Castel to be the chief priest, and she has said everything to the point just now, and it is still in the church hall, but the other party is still sloppy, which is a very important act of mutual trust for cooperation.
The only explanation is that the Grand Priest doesn't care about cooperation anymore.
He has a better partner to work with, or rather...... He had abandoned the Castel family.
And if this is the reason, considering that the high priest did not tear his face with himself on the surface, it seems that he still wants to make a gesture that the church is still sheltering Castelle, which has to make Charlotte have a deeper speculation-
Grand Priest ...... I am afraid that the individual unilaterally reached some kind of exchange of interests with the forces against her.
And perhaps, the bargaining chips between the two sides are her and her family.
This bold judgment made Charlotte a little creepy.
After all, she speculated that the forces against her were most likely related to the Blood Demon Order, and from this perspective, could it be that the Grand Priest was also related to the Blood Demon Order?
He's the highest priest in the Divine Court Polder Branch!
Even if the church is degenerate, this world truly has a god!
Charlotte had also read the doctrine of the Holy Court, which was indeed the doctrine of the righteous God, and the general trend was to lead people to good.
The power of believers comes from God, and if the church is corrupt and degenerate, doesn't the gods care?
Don't...... Won't it affect the gods?
"Gods...... Don't you care about the gradual deterioration of your faith? ”
Leaving the church, she couldn't help but say after all.
I don't know if it's talking to myself, or if it's talking to the black cat that is following it.
"Hey, faith has gone bad? Why should the gods care? ”
"Gods are gods, faith is faith, Master Cat has heard others say a sentence in the past, gods are just a group of selfish parasites dressed in hypocrisy."
"As long as there are believers, they don't care about the deterioration of their faith!"
Parasite?
Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.
She couldn't help but look at Nice, and when she noticed the girl's gaze, the black cat suddenly felt that what she said was a little offended, and quickly changed her words with a dry smile:
"Uh...... Ahem, the cat didn't mean you, and you don't live by faith......"
"Cat Ye refers to the gods who spread their faith in a big way."
"You know a lot about gods?"
Charlotte was a little surprised.
"Uh...... A little bit of understanding, a little bit of understanding, it's all listening to other people's nonsense. ”
Nice the black cat was a little weak-hearted.
"Are you really a believer in the God of Contract?"
Charlotte asked again.
"Well, it should ...... Right? ”
The black cat said cautiously.
Charlotte: ......
She looked at the black cat silently, and Ness began to look away again, whistling to herself.
Charlotte was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly ordered:
"Go back and compile everything you know about the gods into a book, and give it to me."
If you want to survive well in the world of Miria, you still have to learn more about the true masters of this world, and perhaps the black cat is a good breakthrough.
Through the matter of the high priest, Charlotte suddenly realized that perhaps she knew too little about the gods of this world, and even had some misunderstandings about the relationship between faith and gods.
She had always thought that the priest would only gain the power of the gods if he strictly followed the beliefs of the gods.
The more powerful the priest, the more devout his inner faith becomes, and the closer his way of doing things is to the teachings of the Church.
This led to a miscalculation of her actions against the High Priest.
Listening to the girl's words, Ness was about to sloppy again, but the thorn rose mark on his forehead suddenly flashed, making its face stiffen.
"Good...... All right. ”
It scratched its head.
After saying that, it sighed again:
"Alas...... I now suddenly understand why many of the resurrected gods have to hide from their followers during the resurrection. ”
"Why?"
The girl glanced at it.
"Look at you, it seems that it is really as rumored, the revival of the gods also has a price, such as the loss of memory or something......"
"If you hadn't seen your powers, if you didn't know what you knew about your extraordinary powers...... It's possible to think you're a real mortal. ”
"For the gods on high above, they definitely don't want their followers to see their dejected appearance, right?"
"I was mortal by nature."
Charlotte said lightly.
It's not something to cover up.
She really was just a mortal, or rather, a Blood.
It's just that she has an artifact in her hand, and the artifact happens to recognize her as the master.
Perhaps this made her show some of her deity, but Charlotte never thought of herself as a resurrected deity.
Perhaps in front of Sebas, who didn't understand why she would be loyal to her, she needed to disguise her identity as the "Night Lady", after all...... That's a real powerhouse.
But in front of the black cat whose life was already in her hands, she didn't need to disguise.
It's just that, after listening to Charlotte's words, Ness showed an expression of disbelief.
The expression seemed to say:
You see, you're here again, don't pretend, I understand everything, I understand everything......
Charlotte: ......
She slowly withdrew her gaze from it, not dwelling on the issue any longer.
It is clear that the High Priest is not as upright as everyone thinks, and this supreme priest of the Church of Boulder has his own secrets.
If you want to rely on the power of the church to fight against the forces behind it, it will not work on the surface.
And in the final analysis, it is her own strength that is too weak, and she has to rely on others to mediate between the major forces......
Before she could grow up, she was confronted with the most powerful forces and forces in a principality......
Whether it is the Blood Demon Order, the Duke's Palace, the profound nobles, or the church, it is not something that she can contend with head-on without great power.
It's like the novice village hasn't come out yet, and I met the map boss.
However, Charlotte was not afraid, nor was she afraid.
On the contrary, it fueled her fighting spirit.
That's right, this start is hard.
But the gods have long set the rules for this world, and although the gap between the supernatural powers is huge, they must all operate within the rules.
The aristocracy has the aristocracy of the aristocracy, and the church has the rules of the church, and the rules are political correctness in this world.
She didn't believe it anymore.
There is really no way to fight a way out of the treacherous situation of Boulder, and successfully inherit the territory and fly away.
In this game, she wants to revive it!
It is better to rely on others than on yourself.
Seemingly...... It is still necessary to give full play to their current greatest strengths.
"I heard...... The Demon Hunt has always had a bad relationship with the Inquisition? ”
Charlotte asked suddenly.
"Yes, the Demon Hunting House and the Inquisition have a certain overlap in their duties, but the two sides do not agree on their concepts."
"The Inquisition has always wanted to take the Demon Hunter for its own use, but the Demon Hunter Knights have always only had faith in their eyes, and many times even the Judgment Knights who are rigid to the point of tendon can't get used to it."
"You should also know that for mortals, the line between black and white is not so obvious, and at this point, although it is governed by the church, the demon hunter knight who often takes on private work in private can see it much more clearly than the knight of the trial."
Listening to Nice's words, Charlotte was thoughtful.
After a moment of silence, she said:
"Nice, I have something for you to do."
"What's the matter? You just command! ”
The black cat straightened up.
"I'll give you 100,000 quintana, and hire all the demon hunters I can invite from Boulder."
Nice:......
Its eyes widened instantly, and it couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva:
"Ten...... One hundred thousand quintana?! ”
"Isn't it enough?"
Charlotte frowned.
One hundred thousand quintana was already the largest amount she could get out of her account now.
A few days ago, she ordered Quasimodo to sell another collection, and now there are 130,000 quintanas in the family account.
"......No, it's too much, if you just want to hire people, this money is enough for you to hire twenty or thirty rank transcendents for a month, if it's just one day, it's very possible to call three or four hundred rank people on the black market, even if it's the second order of the silver moon, you can invite them...... It is also completely affordable to hire a large number of demon hunters...... Of course, this is a theoretical case. ”
Ness said.
Is it so expensive to hire an advanced transcendent?
Charlotte was a little surprised.
But soon, she was relieved.
The power is crushed in all directions, and the status is equivalent to that of the lowest-level nobles, and it is normal for the price to be expensive.
But...... The last thing that Castel Manor lacked was money, and the houses had enough to keep her.
"If you don't have enough money, you can promise first, and I will allow you to go up without a cap."
Charlotte thought for a moment and said.
Nice:......
It has become numb to the richness of the Castel family.
"Are you planning to use the Demon Hunter to stop the Judgment Knight? IMHO...... On weekdays, they may be able to hire them to do some private work, but the divine judgment is such a big thing...... They're definitely not going to get involved. ”
Ness said.
"Then tell them that I have a great opportunity to slap the knights of the trial in the face, this divine judgment is illegal, see if they are willing to come."
"And...... You don't need them to take action against the Knights of Judgment, just stand behind me, protect me, and protect my retainers. ”
"Ask them if they would like to be a witness."
Charlotte said.
"Slap in the face of the Knight of Trial?"
Ness was stunned.
Suddenly, as if something had been thought, it lit up:
"Oooh! I see......"
"Hey...... Hey, hey, hey...... I understand...... Hey, hey, hey...... You're so bad...... Hey, hey, hey...... I like ...... though."
"It's just that the second order of the silver moon is generally not short of money, and it is a little more difficult to invite them, especially Captain Kara, she has never been interested in hiring."
"Then tell her that I have news of the Blood Demon Order."
Charlotte said lightly.
