-19- The magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high
There is also an ancient temple under the royal capital?
Charlotte was surprised.
But at the same time, there is a feeling that it is like this.
The Ancient Temple is hidden deep underground, and it is already secretive, if the Blood Demon Sect uses this place as a base, the church may really be dark.
It's just that Charlotte is also a little confused.
There is an ancient temple beneath Lutsia, this is ...... Didn't the Divine Court, which was the head of the earth, know about it?
Curious and confused, Charlotte's gaze scanned her surroundings again.
She remembered that the Ancient Temples of the Northlands contained statues of ancient gods that could be fused with her.
After some searching, Charlotte's gaze naturally fell on the altar.
There was indeed a familiar idol there, identical to the one she had fused with some time ago.
However, after fusing the ancient god idol once, Charlotte's perception seemed to have become more acute in some aspects, and although the idol was exactly the same as the Northland, she noticed a difference.
This idol looks too new.
She stepped forward, took a closer look, and realized that it was just a fake.
This idol is not original, and there is no blood divine power in it, only some turbid and mixed bloodline power.
The idol is connected to the forbidden envelope shrouded in the temple, exuding a surging magic, like the ancient temple of the Northlands.
It's a prohibition to outward probe.
However, the prohibition of this Ancient Temple was obviously not as strong as that of the Ancient Temple in the Northland.
The Ancient Temple of the Northland, after activating the prohibition, even the gaze of the gods can be blocked, but this one in front of him cannot.
Otherwise, Charlotte would not have succeeded in "divine possession".
Charlotte could probably tell why.
The ban on the Temple of the Ancients is established around the statue, and the statue is a fake, and the ban is naturally a weakened version, which is why Charlotte's "will" can be delivered.
Charlotte pondered for a moment, then looked at the "ritual" in front of her again.
Her gaze fell on the criss-crossed veins of the idol, and she quickly recognized that the idolis was part of the ritual, or more accurately, the vessel for the ritual to gather the power of the bloodline.
Her gaze spread along the veins, and Charlotte saw that the veins extended into the ground, connected to a mysterious circle of grooves, which had turned black and red, and there was still some dirty blood in them.
Combining the sacrificial circle on the altar with the Holy Emblem of the Archduke of the Blood Demon, Charlotte concluded:
This is not a divine descent ceremony, but a sacrificial ceremony, a place where the Blood Demon Order offers sacrifices and bloodline power to the Blood Demon Grand Duke and prays for divine grace!
Charlotte thought back to the scene where she had just summoned the Blood Demon Priest.
With a stir in her heart, she turned to look down the hall, and soon saw several unconscious children in the corner.
They had dishes on their faces, and their clothes were shabby, and they were obviously civilians from the outer city.
Charlotte's eyes narrowed, her gaze slightly downcast.
She became a blood descendant by accident, and although she became a dark creature, Charlotte has always adhered to the principles of being a human being and will never harm the innocent.
Seeing the Blood Demon Order sacrifice innocent children added another layer of disgust to her heart.
"Sebas said that some time ago, there was a sacrifice of the Blood Demon Order in Lutsia, and there are still some children missing in the outer city, presumably because the Blood Demon Order has taken people as sacrifices."
Charlotte was thoughtful.
The Blood Demon Order was even more rampant than she had imagined, even in the center of the Crescent Diocese.
This shows that either they have great plans in Luthia, or they have faith that they will not be detected by the Holy Court.
She exhaled lightly and looked at the children in the hall, wondering how to get these poor little ones out.
And at this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door of the temple.
Charlotte's heart moved, and she retracted
looked at it, and then said in a deep voice:
"Come in."
Her voice was old and hoarse, and she was really uncomfortable for a while.
The door slowly opened, and three black-robed Blood Demon Cultists walked in, wearing hoods, revealing only pale faces and scarlet eyes, all of them were blood.
I saw them respectfully salute Charlotte, and the first one stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"The messenger of the Apostles has arrived, Lord Priest, and is waiting in your study."
The Apostle of Darkness?
Charlotte immediately raised her guard.
She bowed her head slightly, her face expressionless:
"Got it."
The three Blood Demon Cultists stood up and got out of the way, looking like they were respectfully asking Charlotte to move.
Charlotte was a little embarrassed.
She didn't know how to get to the study.
Her eyes fell on the three Blood Demon Cultists, wondering how she could open her mouth and let them lead the way while avoiding their suspicion, or simply take them away and act on her own.
And it was at this moment that she noticed that the gaze of a Blood Demon cultist fell on the children in the hall.
As if noticing Charlotte's gaze, the Blood Demon Cultist quickly withdrew his gaze, but from the other party, Charlotte felt a trace of nervousness.
Well?
Nervous?
After the "God Surrendered to the Body", maybe it was because of the "Will Projection", maybe because she was unfolding the Night Castle, or maybe because she used a blazing body body......
Charlotte found that her perception had become much stronger than usual.
For example, now, she could vaguely sense the emotions of these Blood Demon Cultists.
The other two were in the same mood.
Awe, fear, yearning......
Only the bloodline cultist who peeked at the "sacrifice" was a little strange.
Although there is also fear, but more often than not, it is apprehension, nervousness, and worry.
There is no reverence.
There is no yearning.
Charlotte suddenly became even more curious.
Her gaze fell on the Blood Demon Cultist, and noticing her gaze, the Blood Demon Cultist's emotions became more wary and vigilant, and at the same time, the level of nervousness quickly increased.
That kind of mental fluctuation, saying that he would burst out and beat her in the next second, Charlotte believed it......
Charlotte looked away, not irritating the other again.
She is now using the body of the Blood Demon Priest, which is not suitable for fighting, and it will be a loss if her identity is revealed.
However, although she looked away, Charlotte's perception was mainly on this bloodline cultist.
This Blood Demon Cultist...... There seems to be a problem.
And when Charlotte strengthened her perception, she discovered more details.
The Blood Demon cultist's aura didn't seem right.
Although it was also the breath of the blood clan, his aura seemed to be a little mixed, as if it was mixed with something.
Charlotte quietly connected to the Night Castle and activated the [Blood Summon] to further enhance her perception, and then was shocked to find that there was no star representing this Blood Demon cultist in the Crimson Star Sea.
This Blood Demon Cultist...... Not a Bloodline!
Not a Bloodline?
Charlotte grew more and more curious.
She decisively increased the input of the Blood Divine Power, further strengthening her perception, and finally recognized the state of this Blood Demon Cultist.
His aura is not mixed, but he somehow uses the breath of the blood clan to cover his true breath!
The breath of the Bloodline is not real, it should be some kind of transcendent item.
And when Charlotte peeled back the cocoon's hidden true aura, she suddenly didn't know what expression to make.
She was no stranger to that breath.
It was the breath of divine power, and it was also the breath of divine power that was fused with transcendent power, and the strength was almost at the second order of the silver moon......
This is a demon hunter disguised as a Blood Demon Cultist!
This discovery was a big surprise to Charlotte, but it made sense to think about it.
This is the base of the Lutasia, the royal capital of the Crescent Kingdom, and the Sacred Court Crescent.
If the Holy Court is not able to rule everything here, then this First Church of Miria is too stretched.
Thinking of this, Charlotte's mood became strange.
I'm afraid that the Blood Demon Sect still thinks that they are hiding quite well, and it seems that they are planning to do a big thing in Lutexia, but who can know, their whereabouts have been exposed to the eyes of the Holy Court, and even undercover agents have been arranged to come in, I am afraid that they are not being fished!
Thinking of this, Charlotte's mindset changed.
She originally planned to secretly report a wave, trap the Blood Demon Sect, and avoid the other party from making any big moves in the royal capital of Lutesia and causing huge casualties, but now it seems that everything should still be in the control of the Holy Court.
She didn't plan to report it, but planned to take advantage of the confrontation between the Holy Court and the Blood Demon Sect to fish in troubled waters!
Of course, before she could do that, she had to move the sacrificial children to a safe place.
As for how to transfer...... Charlotte looked at the demon hunter again.
Although he hid it well, with the keen psychic perception of "God Surrendered", Charlotte still felt the worry in his heart about those children.
Charlotte was sure.
Demon Hunter Knights are actually good and bad, and some Demon Hunter Knights who sit back and watch innocent victims for meritorious fishing and law enforcement are not nothing.
Charlotte didn't know when the Church found out about the Blood Demon Order's plans and how it responded to the Blood Demon Order's past sacrifices, but at least for now, the demon hunter was very concerned about the safety of the children behind her.
Charlotte's thoughts turned quickly, she glanced at the "Blood Demon Cultist", and said in a deep voice:
"You, these sacrifices are yours."
"Their transcendent blood is impure and unfit as a sacrifice to the Grand Duke."
In this way, it can be regarded as an explanation of the ritual that the Blood Demon Priest has just interrupted.
Listening to Charlotte's words, the "Blood Demon Cultist" was slightly stunned, while the other two Blood Demon Cultists showed envy.
Those who can be used as sacrifices are carefully selected, even if the priests say that it is not suitable, but for them, it is also a good vehicle to provide extraordinary blood.
Bloodline ...... After all, it's bloodthirsty.
The "Blood Demon Cultist" quickly lowered his head.
He saluted Charlotte respectfully, and then dragged the unconscious children down under the envious gaze of the other two Blood Demon cultists.
Seeing the other party's figure disappear, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.
Leave it to the Demon Hunter Knight, and those poor little ones will be safe.
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte straightened her face and said in a deep voice to the other two Blood Demon Cultists who were still paying attention to the sacrifices that had been taken away:
"Lead the way, and go to meet the messenger of the Apostles."
With the interruption of the sacrifice, the two Blood Demon Cultists were also distracted, and they didn't notice that Charlotte's order was wrong, so they saluted respectfully and walked in front flatteringly.
Seeing that Charlotte had just generously "rewarded" the sacrifice, she was also moved.
Someone led the way, and Charlotte was relieved.
She didn't worry about her identity being exposed, the Dark Apostle was the Duke of Blood, and the Emissary of the Duke of Blood could only be Blazing Sun at best.
Blazing Sun, the same level as Bertrand, unless carefully explored, it would not be able to see through Charlotte's "possession".
Following the two Blood Demon cultists, Charlotte left the temple hall.
Outside the hall, there were no other Blood Demon Cultists, Charlotte only sensed a few sporadic Blood Clan aura, and as for those non-Blood Clan disciples, there was not a single one.
Obviously, even for the Blood Demon Order, not everyone can just come in here.
And as for the Temple of the Ancients
Charlotte observed the number of bloodlines and found that it was no more and no less, exactly six.
If you add her own temporary body, it would be seven, which is the same number of stars she saw in the crimson star sea.
Charlotte divided her energy again, combined with the map of Lutesia brought to her by Sebas, plus the location of the blood clan in the Crimson Star Sea and her own coordinates, analyzed the location of this ancient temple, and then was surprised to find that this ancient temple should be located under the royal square in Rutsia.
Charlotte mused.
The Central Council Chamber, where the Central Committee was held, was also located in the Royal Square...... Is the Blood Demon Order going for the Central Council?
"Priest, here we are."
The respectful and flattering voice of the Blood Demon interrupted Charlotte's thoughts.
She looked up and found herself in front of a teleportation array.
Teleportation array?
Is it to the surface?
Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.
She looked to the side of the teleportation array, where there was also a hanger with nobles' clothes hanging from it.
Charlotte glanced down at her priestly robes and realized something.
She quietly took off her priestly garb and changed into a noble garment, while the Blood Demon Cultists dog-legged her to activate the teleportation circle.
The next moment, the circle shone brightly, and Charlotte was teleported.
She looked around and found herself in a noble manor, and the bell of the hour rang in the distance, the clock of the Cathedral of Lutecia in the distance.
She came to the surface, and it was in the inner city.
There was already a butler waiting next to the circle, it was an ordinary human, but Charlotte felt the dark power of the Blood Demon Order from the other party.
This is also a follower of the Blood Demon Order.
"Lord Earl, Lord Richard has arrived and is waiting for you in your study."
The butler bowed and said respectfully.
Richard?
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
There are many people named Richard in the Crescent Kingdom, and she only knew another one yesterday.
Charlotte raised some suspicions, bowed slightly, and walked with the butler to the manor mansion.
There was no need to lead the way this time, most of the study rooms of the nobles of Miria were on the second floor of the mansion, and most of them were on the south side, and Charlotte could identify the location of the study through the window at a glance.
And when she entered the study, a young nobleman was already waiting inside.
It was none other than Richard de Gaston, the eldest son of the Earl of Gaston, a nobleman with whom Charlotte had a relationship at the city gates.
I saw him glance at Charlotte, and his handsome face could not see the expression:
"Your Excellency Bertrand de Chevalli, your actions yesterday...... It's out of bounds."
————
Make up for yesterday's.
Because I went back to my hometown tonight, the update may be late today, or in the early hours of the morning, or tomorrow morning.
