Charlotte's inquiry silenced Lottie again.

With a light sigh, she nodded:

"Yes, I do think about them......"

"Duke Boulder is one of the driving forces behind the Plague of Fire, and my father's fall is closely linked to his support......"

"Maybe his original intention was not to let the fire demon come, but his connivance has brought too much suffering to the people of Boulder."

"The High Priest is even more so, as the highest priest of the Church of Boulder, he has become the umbrella of the Drunken Dream Salon, even himself...... They are even guests at the Drunken Dream Salon. ”

"I'm not reconciled...... If their crimes are not made public, if they are not punished as they deserve, I am not reconciled to ......."

"The Broglie family did too many wrong things, and in the end they were attacked and punished......"

"We brought it on ourselves."

"But I can't watch those behind the scenes, those high umbrellas, still active under the light......"

As she spoke, Lottie smiled bitterly and laughed at herself:

"You can also think of it as the grievance in my heart."

Charlotte's heart moved:

"You want to make their charges public?"

Lottie nodded:

"Yes, as a witness to everything, I think I have a responsibility and an obligation to make the truth public."

"Although the ritual failed, I did survive, and I even gradually recovered from my congenital frailty......

"The Blood Demon Order did not completely deceive my father, and I was able to recover my health because I received the life force of those innocent girls who were sacrificed."

"In the years I have been lurking, I have done a lot of wrong things in order to gain the trust of Count Tulip, watching those girls slide into the darkness......"

"My existence is sinful."

"All I can do is repent, only to expose the truth, and give those innocent girls an innocent ......"

"This was my original intention for joining the Divine Court."

"I joined the Holy Court, not just to follow the orders of Count Tulip to approach the Grand Priest, but to have a repentant heart......"

As she spoke, Lottie let out a long sigh:

"Of course, when I joined, even I didn't think of the sacred royal court that would persuade people to be good and maintain order and justice...... It's not that sacred. ”

"The power of the priesthood comes from God, from faith in the gods......"

"However, even if the High Priest is so depraved, the light of faith in him is still so dazzling......"

"I'm confused......"

"I used to think that I could cleanse my heart from sin with holy faith, but today, even the meaning of faith ...... It's all a little confused. ”

Lottie's expression was full of loneliness.

Listening to Lottie's words, Charlotte put down the goblet and thought:

"It's normal to be confused, but I think it's more important than the belief in the sustenance, ...... heart."

"In my opinion, faith is just a tool to make your heart clear, and it is the beliefs and values imposed on you by the gods."

"If your heart is still clear, if your heart is still strong, even if you don't have faith?"

"Your heart, the faith in your heart, is your faith."

Listening to Charlotte's words, Sebas's eyelids jumped wildly.

Boy......

What if you don't have faith!

A good heart and belief is faith!

I'm afraid that this kind of disparaging remarks about the belief in the gods can only be said by the Night Lady!

And...... Or in front of a priest of the Holy Court!

Wait a minute......

If so, then everyone can be their own god, and what do they need to do with the gods on high?

But that's not right......

Transcendent power comes from the gods, from the blessings of the first gods on the race and the ancestors...... Any righteous god can send down divine punishment to deprive the transcendent of his power.

Without the faith of the gods, what are the mortals who have lost their power?

Sebas was at a loss.

Charlotte didn't pay attention to Sebas's eerie expression.

She pondered for a moment and continued:

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the duke and the high priest, they will be punished as they deserve, but you, I don't think you should continue to participate in this matter."

As she spoke, she smiled slightly:

"Sister Lottie, I also saw your memories when I entered your dream, and I know that you have never lost your original heart, nor have you ever fallen into ......"

"The Inquisition has always been severe, and your status is a bit special, so it's not worth putting yourself in for the sake of the Grand Priest and the Duke."

"Consider Miss Mary's proposal, Sister Lottie, my Castel Collar may need a righteous priest to preside over it......"

Listening to Charlotte's words, Lottie was slightly stunned and fell into deep thought.

Charlotte smiled:

"Sister Lottie, let's eat first, and you can think carefully about my proposal and that of Miss Mary."

……

After dining with Charlotte, Lottie took her leave and left.

Charlotte did not hold back, nor did she continue to persuade.

She knew that this priest lady needed a certain amount of time to think about it and think about it.

She also knew that the other party had seen the problem with her identity.

However, from the sentence "Can I call you Charlotte" Charlotte already knew that no matter who she really was, in Lottie's heart, she would be "Charlotte".

This may be because Charlotte's patronage of the Castells family has been recognized by the other party.

Or maybe it was Mary's salvation that she was grateful to the other party.

But in any case, the other party did approve of her.

As for Charlotte's "evil god" status......

Lottie didn't seem to know, or maybe it was the instinctive protection of her soul, and she couldn't remember something about last night.

And Sebas's explanation for this is that weak mortals simply cannot look directly at the majesty of the gods.

If the gods are not willing to make an impression in the hearts of mortals, they will forget even the fact that they have come into contact with the gods.

Charlotte doesn't think she's really a god.

But under the True Ancestor's liberation posture, she did control the power of a god.

Lottie's memories of that time will be forgotten, and I'm afraid it has something to do with it, after all...... She's just a starry first-order transcendent.

However, an exchange with Lottie made Charlotte think about another question.

In the world of Miria, the gods rule everything, and the source of all supernatural power is originally the gods.

So, what is the relationship between the gods and the transcendental, between the gods and the believers?

What is the relationship between the strength of faith and the strength of the clergy?

Doubt......

Charlotte was really confused too.

She used to believe that the power of faith was the source of power for the gods, and at the same time the source of power for the priests, even in the sacred laws of the Holy Court.

But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.

The fact that the fallen Archpriest was still able to take the protection of the Light is the greatest proof.

Charlotte was puzzled.

Nice the black cat told her that the gods only need believers and don't care about the deterioration of faith, and that the gods are just parasites in the cloak of hypocrisy......

However, the power of the priesthood does come from God.

Not only the clergy, but also the nobles because the ancestors were the scrolls of the gods.

If the gods don't care about the deterioration of the believers' beliefs, if the gods are "parasites", then what do they want from the believers?

What is the criterion for the clergy to become stronger?

Is it true, as the Holy Law says, that the more devout, the more powerful?

Or is there actually another set of secret selection criteria?

Charlotte didn't know.

But she vaguely felt that if she could figure out this, then she would have figured out the greatest secret of the gods in the Miria world......

And at the same time, maybe it will be crucial for her to control the Blood Sacred Book and ascend to the real throne like a myth and legend!

Of course, the secrets of the gods cannot be broken overnight.

Even if you are ambitious, you have to take it one step at a time.

These days, Charlotte has also seen a lot of legends about the gods of the Miria world, and in any legend, the new god who ascends to the throne must first have the power of legend.

Even if she wants to finally become a god, Charlotte must first raise her true strength to a legend.

As for the believer's relationship with the gods......

Charlotte actually had a lot of ideas, a lot of speculation, and even said that the experiment would be tried, but that would not be possible until she left Boulder and returned to her own turf.

Retracting her thoughts, Charlotte returned to her study.

Sebas followed her, and stopped talking.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"What's the matter?"

Sebas hesitated for a moment and asked respectfully:

"The host...... Are you going to do something next to the Duke and the High Priest? ”
