Charlotte didn't know that she had followed the "sacramental ritual" to "suck blood" and alarmed almost the entire idol of the god worshiped in the Holy Court.

However, with the keen perception of the blood clan, from the surprised expressions of the priests, and the whispered discussions of the guests, she soon knew what had happened to her just now.

But unlike the priests and guests, she knew very well that the light in her body was not a divine favor.

If anything, the vision was more like the wrath of God.

The dazzling light came on a large scale not to bestow divine grace on her, but to purify her, an "evil heretic".

It was only Charlotte who absorbed the holy light that purified her, so that everyone could not feel the destructive power contained in the holy light, but only witnessed the brilliance and sacredness of the holy light.

"It seems...... Be careful when encountering divine rituals related to the Divine Light in the future. ”

Charlotte thought to herself.

Among the priests present, the highest-ranking one was Raoul of the Silver Moon Second Order.

If there really is a priest with the strength of the Blazing Sun or even the Legendary Strength here, maybe he will be able to see the truth about the arrival of the Holy Light just now.

After the sacrament ceremony, the atmosphere in the hall became noticeably more delicate.

The priests' eyes at Charlotte became more and more intense, like a treasure, and even the old priest Raoul couldn't hold back his excitement.

As for the nobles watching the ceremony, the sight is much more complicated.

There is curiosity, there is amazement, there is fanaticism, there is emotion, there is contemplation, and there is apprehension......

Especially those representatives from the Castel domain.

With a keen sense of spirituality, Charlotte noticed that most of the envoys of these vassal nobles almost all became serious.

"Charlotte, it seems that your physiognomy is really very compatible with the Holy Light, I have been giving sacraments to people for more than thirty years, and it is the first time I have seen such a dazzling divine grace, do you really not consider joining the Church?"

The old priest Raoul couldn't help but ask again.

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"Thank you for having me, Grandpa Raoult."

"However, I am a nobleman after all, and I still have my own responsibilities and obligations......"

Her family knows her own affairs, and Charlotte still knows whether the holy light that comes down is divine grace or divine wrath.

There is always someone in the Divine Court that has lasted for thousands of years who can see her problem, and if she really enters the church, it is to dance on the tightrope, and repeatedly test on the edge of danger......

Even if she wanted to gather wool, she wouldn't be so crazy to die.

Isn't it fragrant to stay in your own territory and go to church quietly at any time?

Seeing Charlotte's refusal, the old priest nodded regretfully:

"I see...... Still, again, the doors of the church are always open for you, if you will. ”

After saying that, he smiled slightly:

"Alright, let's move on to the final succession ceremony!"

After the coming-of-age ceremony, it is the succession ceremony of the title.

The succession ceremony can be large or small, and there are usually two steps.

The first step is to take over the scepter symbolizing authority and status from the hands of the family elder or lord, which means that he has officially taken over the management of the territory and has become a fief nobleman in the true sense.

The second step is to take an oath of allegiance to the lord in the presence of the Divine Light.

Because Charlotte is left in the Castel family, and the Duke of Boulder, who is a feudal monarch, is currently sick in bed and unconscious, it is still the old priest Raoul who holds the succession ceremony for the girl.

Charlotte knelt on one knee and took the scepter carved with the Castel coat of arms from Raoult, while she swore allegiance to the Poulder family crest that had been temporarily hung on the wall of the hall.

Well, as much as she doesn't like Duke Boulder, the process to go is still to be followed.

As for returning to the territory after taking the oath of allegiance, it is the emperor of the sky, and no one can control her.

Perhaps the previous vision of the sacrament was too shocking, but the succession ceremony was much more low-key and ordinary.

After the ceremony, Charlotte finally officially succeeded to the territory and became the Earl of Castel.

It doesn't matter if the Duke of Boulder admits it or not, the Church has already recognized it anyway.

The succession paperwork has been written, and even if the old duke who is sick in bed is depressed, the county of Castel has finally ushered in her new lord.

From this day forward, Charlotte will no longer be called Miss Charlotte, but Earl of Castell.

……

News of Charlotte's official raid soon spread through the streets of Boulder.

As the foremost nobleman of the Duchy of Boulder, news of this succession of titles has always been the talk of the town.

And in addition to the succession to the title, it is a "miracle" in the sacramental ceremony.

Whatever the truth, a statement that even many of Boulder's priests believed was gradually spreading in the streets and alleys—

Charlotte ...... of Castel She is the Lady of God Harald, a pure saint who is protected by the Light.

In particular, after the sacramental vision combined with the identity of the only survivor of the Blood Demon case, this kind of statement was confirmed, and it was precisely because she was a pure saint and protected by the Holy Light that the evil Blood Demon Order failed to kill the girl......

Charlotte felt outrageous when she heard it, but she was really rounded up by this group of fun people.

It is said that when the old Duke of Boulder, who was bedridden, woke up and learned about it, he coughed violently on the spot, coughed up a lot of blood, and fainted directly.

It is rumored that the Duke of Boulder has little time and may choke his breath at any time.

As Duke Boulder's condition deteriorated, the situation and atmosphere in Boulder City became noticeably strange.

The nobility was concerned about the succession of the Duchy of Boulder.

Considering that the duke's illegitimate son Leno voluntarily gave up his inheritance and went to East Unette to set up a mercenary group as a mercenary, and the original first heir, Count Tulip, also "died of illness", the first heir of Boulder became the duke's only daughter Eleanor.

News had already arrived from the royal capital that Eleanor, the Duke's daughter, and her husband, Philip, the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom, were said to have set off south on their way to Boulder.

Some of the Border nobles who had heard the news had even sent people north to greet the arrival of their new masters.

It can be regarded as the Duke of Boulder who has relied on the drunken dream salon to suppress it too hard in the past year, not to mention the betrayal of relatives, but also the people who go to tea and cold, and even the Duke's Mansion is much deserted after he is seriously ill, and there are fewer and fewer nobles to visit.

It is foreseeable that the Boulder family, which has controlled the Duchy of Boulder for 900 years, may continue for another generation at most, and everything will return to the Crescent royal family.

Charlotte doesn't care about any of that, though.

After the official ascension, she will run, stay away from the land of right and wrong, and no longer participate in the power struggle of the principality.

She had already figured out that she would pay the contract tax on time, and the omen soldiers could also be provided according to the vassal contract, as for the rest...... These nobles like to toss and toss as much as they like, just don't come to provoke her.

……

Following.

Charlotte embarks on a journey back to her territory.

When she first crossed into this world, she was alone despite her noble name, and a year later, the number of people who accompanied her to the realm had exceeded 500.

Among them, nearly 300 people were escorted by Castel, and more than 100 people were extraordinary knights in armor, and the leader of the team was still Baron Chalon.

In addition, more than thirty representatives of the lower nobles from the territory who participated in Charlotte's coming-of-age ceremony will also return with Charlotte.

As for the remaining more than 170 people, they were all Charlotte's own team, and she brought all the teenagers and girls recruited from the outer city with her, in addition to some transcendents of the Rose Society, as well as several demon hunting knights.

That's right, Demon Hunter.

After Carla left the Demon Hunting House, many Demon Hunters chose to resign and leave because they couldn't get used to the church and the Inquisition, and they were all attacked by Charlotte with money.

This even includes Chatham, the leader of the original Demon Hunter Knights who has a good relationship with Charlotte, a starry first-order transcendent knight.

It was also taking advantage of the chaos in the Boulder Church and Raoult becoming the new Grand Priest of Boulder that Charlotte had the courage to pry the corners of the church.

In addition, Sebas and Nice will also travel with Charlotte.

Sebas is Charlotte's handy butler and the number one hitter on the surface, and this must be brought along.

And although the black cat Nice is not in tune, he knows a lot of things, and Schrödinger's strength is often unexpected, and Charlotte has no intention of keeping it in the church.

However, Quasimodo was left in Ball by Charlotte.

Quasimodo is not a transcendent being, and has never been to the county of Castel, so he can play a more valuable role in Bowle City than to go with him to the realm.

He will be in charge of the family's affairs in Boulder, managing the Castel estate after Charlotte's departure, and managing the family's business in Boulder.

There were more than 500 people, more than half of them were transcendentals, and there were more than 20 people who had advanced to the level.

In addition to the mighty contingent of the Castel family, there are also some armed caravans that hope to follow Charlotte and obtain temporary shelter.

The journey from Boulder City to Castel is a long way, and it is inevitable that you will encounter robbers and robbers along the way, and you may encounter magical beasts when passing through the forest, which is not considered safe.

With a powerful convoy like Castel present, some armed caravans were naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to take a ride and obtain temporary shelter.

Of course, this kind of hitchhiking requires a fee.

Charlotte didn't like the money, and she didn't refuse.

After adding those small and medium-sized armed caravans that traveled with them, the northbound team that finally gathered at the north gate of Boulder City had exceeded 1,000 people......

From afar, it looks like a small army.

Under the duke, only a big nobleman like Castel would make such a big battle when he escorted the lord home.

"Master, everything is ready, shall we leave now?"

At the city gate, Sebas, dressed in a tuxedo, gracefully saluted Charlotte and asked respectfully.

Standing under the black umbrella held by the maid Shirley, Charlotte, who was dressed in a black and red gothic dress, looked in the direction of the city gate and shook her head gently:

"Wait a little longer."

As the minutes ticked by, more and more residents gathered at the gates of the city to watch the Castel convoy.

After seeing the target for a long time, Charlotte felt a little regretful and turned around to give the order to set off.

However, at this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the city gate.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she turned to look, only to see Lottie, who was wearing a priest's robe, riding a horse and rushing over.

Charlotte's expression was immediately soothed, and her face was smiling.

Lottie rode her horse and soon came to the girl.

She rolled over and dismounted, and said slightly apologetically:

"Sorry...... Summer...... Lord Earl, I went to the cathedral to make a transfer order, and I arrived a little late. ”

"Just call me Charlotte."

Charlotte smiled.

"Reassignment order? Was it an order to transfer to Castel? ”

She asked curiously again.

"Yes, Lord Raoult, after checking and finding that there were many vacancies in the priesthood of the Earl of Castell, helped to run a transfer order."

Lottie replied.

Charlotte suddenly smiled:

"It's for the best."

Lottie served in the church hospital, which was not actually a church office, and Charlotte was originally intended to be brought to the territory as a noble priest hired by a private person.

But now it's different, or better.

With the appointment, Lottie has a formal church status, which is equivalent to changing from a career to a civil servant of the church.

With this as a breakthrough, Charlotte's future intervention in the affairs of Castel's church and the real realization of the plan of monopoly in her own territory are also possible.

I can only say that there are still people who are easy to do.

When Lottie came, Charlotte had no intention of staying.

She ordered the departure in the name of the Count of Castel.

At the sound of the order, the knights turned into their horses, the merchants and nobles boarded the carriage, and Charlotte, accompanied by her maid Shirley, entered the most luxurious Castell's carriage in the center of the caravan, which was guarded by eight starry knights.

As for the black cat Nice, he wanted to follow Charlotte into the carriage, but he was thrown out directly by the girl with the back of the neck, so he had to sigh and go to the carriage behind to find the maid ladies and sisters.

In a series of horses, the mighty procession shook smoke and dust and began the journey.

Sebas rode beside Charlotte's carriage.

However, the moment he got on the horse, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at the caravan at the back of the convoy.

"What's wrong?"

Charlotte lifted the curtains.

"Nothing...... It may be an illusion, but it seems that I have just sensed some familiar breath. ”

Sebas retracted his gaze and said uncertainly.

In the caravan behind the Castel convoy, on a nondescript horse-drawn carriage.

The old woman in the gray hood forcibly pulled the girl who was probing her brain in, and said with a serious expression:

"Rena, don't look around, we are secretly following, that one's perception is beyond your imagination, don't be discovered."

Listening to the woman's words, the girl tilted her head in confusion.

The old woman was stunned and shook her head:

"No...... I don't mean Sebas. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the center of the convoy, and her old face took on a hint of solemnity:

"What do I mean...... It was the one he followed. ”

……

And at the same time, in the hinterland of the distant Yunette Empire.

The center of the Holy Court, the capital of the Church, in the Cathedral of the Holy Capital.

In the brightly lit hall, the chief priest of the Divine Court slowly stood up facing the solemn statue of the god.

He gently lowered the sacred scepter in his hand, turned to look at the priest who was standing respectfully, and the old voice carried a hint of solemnity:

"Reports from all over the world have returned, and it's not just the cathedral that has seen the anomaly."

"Go and find out what the source of the vision is."

Receiving the order, the priests respectfully retired.

The chief priest turned again, facing the idol, and reverently drew the ring cross:

"O Merciful Lord......"

"Is that you, are you going to wake up?"

It's still two in one
