-55- Command
On the training grounds of the Earl's Court.
The guards knights, dressed in short training uniforms, watched curiously at the black cats running around the entire Earl's Court while training.
"Whoop Woohoo ......"
The fat Ness dragged his almost ball-like body, looking like he was loveless, and he ran around humming and humming, not daring to stop for a moment.
Looking at the tired panting and depressed black cat, the guards suddenly couldn't help laughing:
"Lord Nice, have you been caught peeping at the maid and punished by Lord Earl?"
"Get out! Cat, I'm exercising! Do you know about workouts?! ”
Ness glared at them and said in a huff.
"Mmmm, you're right, it's workout."
"Lord Nice, you exercise first, we're done training, and we're going to the house for refreshments."
"Oh, it's so hot today, and I heard that the maid has prepared that special thirst-quenching iced lemon tea invented by Lord Earl."
"Would you like a drink?"
"Hey, don't bother Nice-sama, Nice-sama still needs to train."
"Yes, yes!"
Looking at these gloating knights, Nice's big face was about to twist.
Thinking back to Charlotte's invention of the refreshing and thirst-quenching iced lemon tea, it swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then exhaled:
"! A bunch of things without conscience! Drink your iced lemon tea! In the future, don't want the cat master to reinforce the magic array on the training ground for you! ”
"Hahahaha!"
The guards laughed and walked towards the room, and the entire training ground was filled with a happy atmosphere.
In the Earl's Mansion Mansion, Charlotte, who was standing in front of the window on the second floor and looking at the training ground, shook her head gently.
Nice this guy is strong in ability, and he can't hold a shelf, and he can quickly mingle with other people, but this lustful problem will be committed at both ends in three days, and he can't change it after so long, and it's also speechless.
"It's still not hard enough."
Charlotte snorted, turned back to her desk, and spread out the map on the table.
This is a map of the continent of Miria.
The map is not standard, and the comparison with the "whole continent" seen by Charlotte when she travels through the awakening for the second time is similar at best, and in many places the proportions are completely wrong.
And outside the continent, the places that belong to the "old continent" are not painted at all.
But even so, this is the most comprehensive map of Miria.
Charlotte looked at the map, or more accurately, at the red dots marked on it.
That's what Nice marked, and it's speculated that the unexcavated Temple of the Ancient might exist.
She's already checked Nice's body, this guy ...... She really pinched the body of the idol, she hadn't investigated it carefully all along, but this time she directly used the divine power of blood to investigate, but Charlotte really discovered the difference in Nice's body.
Nice's body, although it is presented as a cat, is essentially more of a puppet body that houses the soul, and does have some of the characteristics of a faceless god, and can even be used as a shell of a god.
It's no wonder that the Blood Demon Order tied Nice up in the first place.
In addition to this guy's excellent magic ability, it is estimated that they have also discovered the difference in its body, and they may not be able to discover the essence of its body through the divine power of blood like Charlotte, but they can also detect the special nature of its body.
As for why it's a cat body instead of a human body, looking at the depressed look on Ness's face when he mentioned it and didn't want to talk about it, it is estimated that something went wrong.
Although it was a pity, since the statue had been used by Nice, Charlotte had to give it up.
As for the other two temples excavated in Nice, according to it, they had already been plucked by the Divine Court and Kolya, and the idols had fallen into the hands of each other.
There was no way to do it, and it was impossible for Charlotte to go directly to the Church and the Kingdom of Koria.
Fortunately, with Nice's mark, she could arrange for someone to investigate in advance.
"Call Odosia over."
After thinking about it, Charlotte shook the rattle, and magic sounded.
After a while, Odosia, dressed in a maid's suit, walked in.
"Your Majesty Charlotte, what do you command?"
She asked, neither humble nor arrogant, her voice as cold as ever.
Looking at the black dragon maid in front of her, although she was not respectful, but she was already quite obedient, Charlotte was also a little embarrassed.
Dragons are indeed a race of strength, and if you are stronger than it, it is possible to subdue them.
Although the black dragon is a well-known anti-bone boy among the dragons, after being with Odosia for so long, Charlotte feels that this statement does not apply to the other party.
Or maybe Odosia has lost her memory, and she has lived with werewolves for another ten years, and her personality is more similar to those of those affectionate subhumans than the legendary sinister, cunning, cruel and ruthless black dragon.
After thinking about it, Charlotte smiled:
"Odosia, how does it feel to be in Castel?"
Odosia was silent for a moment, then replied:
"It's cozy, but ...... It's so cozy again. ”
Charlotte raised an eyebrow:
"Comfort?"
"It's more comfortable than when I was in the Blood Demon Order."
Eudosia replied.
Charlotte: ......
No, the Blood Demon Order is a street rat, everyone shouts and fights, even in the Northlands, they often clash with various forces, not to mention that they are constantly fighting within themselves, according to Albrecht.
"Since you feel comfortable, then I'll tell you one thing to do, eh...... Or rather, to investigate. ”
Charlotte picked up the map and said.
"Investigation? What to investigate? ”
Odosia frowned.
"Do you remember the underground temple of the Legris Territory? I need you to investigate these locations marked on the map and look for similar temples that may exist. ”
Charlotte said.
After speaking, the brilliance in her hand flashed, and a small statue of the god appeared.
This is a faceless statue.
More precisely, this is a copycat of the god that Nice imitates with the help of the divine power of blood and transcendent materials.
It has only one effect, which is to sense the divine power of other blood.
This was also handed over to Charlotte by Nice.
Although this guy used the real idol, he made such a thing.
According to Ness, this imitation of the statue of the god has a model of a magic circle similar to the Temple of the Ancients, and the imitation of the magic circle is also laid inside the statue, which can sense the existence of the divine power of blood from a distance.
In the first place, Nice was able to excavate the three ancient temples because of its greatest credit.
Ness never dared to take it out, nor did it dare to tell what it knew about the Ancient Temple, the biggest reason was that it was not sure about Charlotte's attitude and purpose, and was worried that Charlotte would recover its body after knowing its secrets.
However, after Charlotte made it clear that she would not care about her puppet cat, Ness, who had already confessed her secret, honestly handed it in.
After Charlotte got it, she also tried to use it, and it did have the effect of sensing the divine power of blood.
She took the initiative to inject her divine power and applied the [Divine Grace Blessing], and now this idol is a real "artifact", and the effect of detection has reached a higher level.
Although she didn't try, Charlotte estimated that she should already sense the existence of the Ancient Temple more easily than she did.
Well...... Let's start looking for the Duchy of Roman, and gradually investigate outward with the red dot as the center, and I will give you the coat of arms of the Castel family, and the manpower of the Castel Chamber of Commerce in various places, at your disposal. Of course, the real purpose must be kept secret. ”
Charlotte pointed to the red dot on the map and said.
Odosia took the map.
Looking at the red dots all over the map, her eyes lit up slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, and said in a deep voice:
"I see."
Charlotte noticed the change in Odosia's expression.
Obviously, in the two months that he followed him, although he ran between the northern land and the royal capital, he still felt depressed by accompanying him all the time.
Dragons, especially black dragons, prefer freedom to be restrained.
Now seeing the task of being able to run all over the continent, she quickly became excited.
It's no wonder that Odosia has a deep relationship with the werewolf Noah's brother.
In the ten years that I had to recuperate underground, it was no wonder that only the other party could communicate and relieve boredom, and the feelings were not deep.
Otherwise, they will suffocate to death.
"Remember, once you have a feeling, you will silently recite my name in your heart and notify me as soon as possible."
Charlotte said.
Odosia nodded:
"I see."
Having received the assignment from Charlotte, Odosia went down.
Seeing the other party leave, Charlotte also nodded secretly.
The quest to find the Ancient Temple can't let too many people know, after all, this is a relic involving the "Blood True Ancestor".
And among her followers, the four who have the strength to take on this task are Jurst, Albrecht, Sebas, and Odosia.
Among the four, Jurst still has the mission of the Ness clan, Albrecht's loyalty is to be compromised, and Sebas has other tasks to do, so the most suitable person is Eudosia.
Odosia left with the map, and Charlotte got up and moved her body, and glanced out the window again.
On the training ground, a panting Ness had already completed a hundred laps under the orders of the "servant contract", and collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, snorting and panting.
Beside it, there were also several hippie smiling knights, some holding leaves to fan it, some feeding it iced lemon tea, and from time to time you could hear laughter and ridicule, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
Looking at Nice, who was gloating and ridiculed by the knights while being cared for by the knights, Charlotte sighed.
Sometimes, I don't know whether to say that this perverted perverted cat has high or low emotional intelligence.
Thinking of all the things that Nice had made in the Earl's Court for more than a year, Charlotte shook her head again.
I heard that even the door of the maid's dressing room was plastered with a note saying "Men and Nice are not allowed", and I hope ...... This guy will be able to remember it for a long time in the future.
Although she thinks it's unlikely, this guy's head is full of yellow waste, and it's already to the extent that a dog can't change eating.
Retracting her gaze from the window, Charlotte was about to shake the rattle for the second time, but quickly reacted again, and said in her heart:
"Sebas, come see me in the study."
Sebas is a blood dependent, and has a deeper contractual connection with Charlotte, so he doesn't need to be summoned by a bell, just call out in his heart.
It didn't take long for Sebas, dressed in a black tuxedo and as elegant and chic as ever, to appear in front of Charlotte.
"Great master, do you have any other task to call Sebas?"
He asked with a respectful salute and a smile.
Charlotte nodded and asked:
"How did you do with the details of the doctrine and the compilation of the canonical code that you talked about some time ago?"
Sebas's expression was straight, and he thought:
"I have a lot of ideas, and some of the first drafts have been formed, but they are only theoretical, and they are not perfect enough to be presented to you."
"Especially with regard to the part of darkness and order, our keynote is to reshape order, but how to reshape order, how to make believers who are accustomed to 'light' recognize 'darkness', and how to empower believers, is also a problem."
"After all...... You can't turn everyone into a Bloodliner, and 'darkness' is far more difficult to accept than 'light'. ”
"I think we need to make further revisions in light of the actual situation before we can finally form the most suitable doctrine for you."
"So...... I'm going to make a trip to the mines, to have another conversation with your devotees, to hear from Luf, and to take a look at the books of the Holy Court to see if there is anything else to draw on. ”
Charlotte bowed slightly, appreciating:
"Not a bad idea."
After speaking, she muttered again:
"It just so happens that I have a mission and need you to go to the mine."
Sebas's heart moved:
"Is it a mining workshop?"
Charlotte shook her head:
"No, it's the same thing for believers."
As she spoke, she propped her chin with both hands and said:
"You said to give power, I also considered it, there are many ways to give power, it doesn't have to be the first embrace, and giving the power of the bloodline doesn't necessarily mean that the other party must be turned into a blood clan......"
"I already have a certain idea about this matter, and I am calling you here this time to try."
"The time for the resurrection of the gods is getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left for us, and we must accumulate enough strength before the gods resurrect one after another, and I ...... It is also necessary to have the strength to be able to compete with it. ”
"So...... The mission is about to be officially put on the agenda, the core doctrine has been decided, and as for the details, we can take our time and improve as we develop, after all...... No Order is perfect from the start. ”
……
After taking the assignment from Charlotte, Sebas departed.
And not long after Sebas left, another knight knocked on the door of the study:
"Lord Earl, a noble man who claims to be your friend has arrived, and is waiting outside the mansion."
A fallen star aristocrat who calls himself my friend?
Charlotte was stunned.
Her heart fluttered slightly, as if she had guessed something.
After closing her eyes and feeling it, the corners of Charlotte's mouth rose slightly.
"It seems...... They probably can't wait. ”
She muttered.
After speaking, Charlotte said to the knight of the guard:
"Please let him in, he is indeed my 'friend'."
