The return trip was smooth.

Three days later, Charlotte returned to her homeland.

After "escorting" Charlotte back to the North Harbor, the black dragon Odosia set off again.

Her mission in the Duchy of Romance has been completed, and she will follow Nice's model to find other ancient temples that have yet to be discovered.

Charlotte was quite satisfied with this trip to the Duchy of Romans, although the process was a little different, but almost all of her goals had been accomplished.

The treaty with the Ness clan is not mentioned for the time being, with Jurst as a guarantee, Charlotte estimates that when she is promoted to Blazing Sun, there should be no problem with having an extra title of Duke Roman on her head.

Based on previous experience, there is a good chance that she will fall asleep again after her promotion.

Maybe by the time she wakes up again, the Duchy of Romance will be under the control of the Castelles, and she herself will become the Duchess of Romance.

Charlotte is still looking forward to it, even if it is not to mention the benefits of the status of the human world brought by a higher title, the larger territory will help her secretly accumulate power.

The search for the Ancient Temple of the Duchy of Romance has been completed.

After obtaining the Sword of Romance, Charlotte had already obtained confirmation from the spirit of this artifact, and the ancient temple that Ness speculated that the Duchy of Romance had not yet excavated was the place where the Sword of Romance was sealed.

As for the faceless god statue that Charlotte had in mind, it had naturally been "swallowed" by the Roman sword.

"This ...... When I was brought there by Romanus, it was just a holy artifact, and I eventually became a true artifact by merging with the idol. ”

"Really...... Your Majesty, you really won't melt me down and then re-isolate the idol, right? ”

Roman Sword asked cautiously.

Obviously, despite Charlotte's assurance, Roman Sword was a little apprehensive after learning that one of her main purposes for going to the Duchy of Romance was to find the Temple of the Ancient and the Faceless Idol.

"Okay, don't think nonsense, if I really wanted to melt you, I would have done it in Roon a long time ago, and there was no need to sign a contract with you."

Charlotte said angrily.

After saying that, she picked up the sweet milk that the maid Shirley had poured for her, took a sip, and looked at Ness, who was spinning around the Roman Sword with great interest:

"If you still don't believe me, go ask Nice, I think...... You should have a common language. ”

After listening to Charlotte's words, Roman's sword's attention shifted to looking at one of his black cats excitedly with his big bright eyes:

"Speaking of which...... I just wanted to ask, the breath of Lord Nice...... It makes me feel a little close and familiar...... I wonder what is the identity of His Excellency Nice? Why does it make me feel like I have a near-homologous power? ”

"Meow, of course you'll feel close, after all, this body of mine, like yours, was made from the lost idol of Lord Charlotte."

Ness said proudly.

After saying that, it looked at the Roman Sword with great interest, and its eyes were full of curiosity:

"But...... I really didn't expect Romanus to be able to upgrade the holy weapon to a wisdom artifact with the help of the Faceless Statue...... It seems that my research on mythology is still not ...... enough."

"God...... Statues of gods? Your body is made of a faceless god?! ”

Roman Sword exclaimed.

"So...... You can rest assured, the benevolent Lord Charlotte has even kept me a waste, and you, as a mythical artifact, will naturally not destroy it. ”

Nice said as a matter of course.

After listening to Ness's words, the Sword of Romance was completely relieved.

"By the way, speaking of which, I haven't finished the ancestor recognition ceremony of the Roman family yet, and my body can be regarded as flowing with Roman blood, so it should be able to be strengthened, right?"

Looking at the Roman Sword in front of her, Charlotte suddenly remembered that the ancestor recognition ceremony was halfway through, and muttered to herself.

However, after listening to her words, the tone of the Roman Sword was a little strange:

"You? Ancestor Recognition Ceremony? This one...... No way? Are you still going to let me purify your bloodline for you? ”

"To be exact, it's the physical quality of this body."

Charlotte said.

After speaking, she looked at the Sword of Roman:

"Any questions?"

"It's a big problem! It is true that I can help mortals strengthen their physical fitness and bloodline strength, but your body is no longer considered mortal! Although the strength may not be enough, in terms of quality, it is already comparable to the Holy Body! ”

Roman's Sword said.

Holy body?

Charlotte was stunned.

The so-called holy body is the body of the saint, and it is also the shell inherited after the myth is born.

Because after the transformation of divine power, the holy body is no longer considered a mortal body.

Listening to the words of the Roman Sword, Charlotte looked at her white palm and thought for thought.

Speaking of which...... She did feel more and more comfortable with the manipulation of her divine powers lately.

Could it be ...... From the moment she ignited the divine fire, has her body been imperceptibly receiving the tempering and transformation of the divine fire?

And when the blood was separated at the ancestor approval ceremony, if it was according to the past, she would not have been able to incorporate divine power into the blood......

The only things that can carry divine power are 'holy weapons' and 'divine weapons', so if you say that, could it be that her body has also been transformed unconsciously?

In this way, except that the output strength of the blood divine power could not be stabilized, wouldn't she be no different from those true resurrection myths?

Not to mention, Charlotte seems to be really the truth when she thinks about it.

After comparing the mythological records in Albrecht's memories and the Roman Sword itself's perception of mythology, Charlotte was surprised to find that she was now ...... It's really not much different from the myth of recovery.

"Wait...... What about that...... Doesn't it also mean that the bottleneck before my body reaches the demigod has completely disappeared? ”

As if thinking of something, Charlotte perked up.

There are also bottlenecks in the promotion of the transcendent, and Charlotte is no different.

It's just that she has the add-on of the Blood Sacred Codex, and she can make a breakthrough by lighting up the Tree of Inheritance Talent.

But there is no bottleneck in the revival of the gods.

Thinking of this, Charlotte was a little excited.

This means that as long as she continues to fuse the Faceless Idol and absorb more Blood Divine Power, she may even directly increase her ontological strength to the strength of the Sage!

With that in mind, Charlotte was a little eager to fuse the faceless idol that had been confiscated from Albrecht.

However, Charlotte did not act rashly.

Even if there was no bottleneck, she wasn't sure if she would fall into a deep sleep after fusing the Faceless Idol this time.

No...... It should be said that she has a vague hunch that she is likely to encounter a similar situation like the last promotion.

Charlotte still believes in her hunch, especially after igniting the divine fire, it may also be a qualitative change in the level of life, and her hunch is often quite accurate.

So...... Before fusing the Faceless Idol, she had to make arrangements so that her territory and the Order would not run into problems after she was really asleep.

The territory is just that, after all, it is already on the right track, according to Charlotte's various plans and arrangements, even without her in charge, she can rely on Nice and Sebas to hold up, and her identity can also allow Nice to disguise.

But the Order's side ...... Charlotte remembers that before she fell asleep, she had to prepare a substitute for her "charisma" coolie.

Charlotte originally planned to let Nice, whose body is an "artifact", do it.

But now......

She had a better choice.

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at the Roman Sword again, and her attitude became pleasant:

"Roman, you often hold ancestral recognition ceremonies, and you should be quite skilled in giving mundane powers, right?"

Roman Sword was startled by Charlotte's sudden mildness.

"Uh...... It's okay, it's a little experienced, really...... Charlotte, what's the problem? ”

"You can pull mortal consciousness into your mental space, right?"

"Yes, it does, although not for long, of course...... I prefer to call it the spiritual space rather than the spiritual space. ”

"Hmm...... In your Machine-Spirit Space, you can change your transfiguration in your Machine-Spirit Space, right? ”

"This ...... I can do it, and I have done the same in the ancestral recognition ceremonies of the past generations, and I quite like to pull those Romans into my consciousness to put them to the test. ”

"Good!"

Charlotte nodded slightly.

She smiled and said:

"I'm ready to further increase my power, perhaps falling into a deep sleep, and in the meantime, I need to leave behind a being who can connect to the center of my faith and bestow divine grace on my behalf."

After speaking, she looked at the Sword of Romance and smiled more and more kindly:

"Roman, I see that you have a strange talent, your sword bones are amazing, I think you are a rare genius in 10,000 years, the most intelligent artifact in history!"

"Will you take my place while I am asleep and help keep my faith network running and God's gifts?"

Charlotte's boast smashed Roman's sword into a little dizzy.

It was almost immediately excited, and replied without thinking:

"Yes! Absolutely! To be able to be your artifact and serve you is Roman's greatest honor! ”

It's so easy to deal with.

Looking at the Roman's sword full of joy, Charlotte and Ness secretly said at the same time.

Ness glanced at Roman's Sword with pity.

The center of the faith network?

The god who ignites the divine fire can be lazy, and can completely block the voice of the majority of believers to maintain the operation of the entire network at a minimum, but if it is an artifact......

Hey, wait and enjoy the prayers of thousands of believers 24 hours a day, 360 degrees!

……

Half by flickering and half commanding, Charlotte let Roman's Sword take on the work of the center of faith after her own slumber, and Charlotte was the last one of her worries.

After giving an oracle to all her dependents except Albrecht that she would further regain her strength and "sleep" again for a short time, she entered the dark chamber that Sebas had prepared for her.

With the seals and enchantments of the secret room on the inner three floors and the outer three floors, Charlotte lay back into the luxurious crystal coffin that Sebas had prepared for her.

In order to prevent this time from causing the alarm of the church town god bell again, she also specially ordered Ness to prepare a super-large shielding circle that could cover almost the entire North Harbor in advance.

When everything was ready, Charlotte took out the faceless statue and placed it on her chest.

She gently closed her eyes and began to merge.

Crimson brilliance bloomed, and the faceless statue on Charlotte's chest gradually began to "melt......

Charlotte only felt a warm force seep into her body and into her heart.

Her heart, which had been dyed with red gold, beat strongly, and the divine fire in the center burned with it.

The abundant blood divine power surged to the limbs, rapidly increasing the flames in Charlotte's heart.

Gradually, in Charlotte's heart, where the divine fire burned, a space that could accommodate divine power gradually formed.

And the divine powers that had been stored in the Blood Sacred Book by Charlotte, as well as the divine powers scattered throughout her body and in the depths of her consciousness, were also pulled and gathered into the "Divine Power Pool".

A golden-red glow bloomed on Charlotte's body, and a palpitating aura gradually rose, and the entire dark room began to tremble faintly.

Layers of light lit up, and it was Charlotte who left behind various magic circles to start working on their own, suppressing the increasingly powerful power and aura in the dark room.

But even so, with the spread of divine power, the rich magic began to escape around Charlotte's body, and the elemental power became more and more restless, gradually ...... There are even crystal clear red crystals precipitated all over the darkroom.

It turned out to be a condensed magic crystal.

The concentration of magic in the entire dark room is even high to the point of precipitating crystals!

Even outside the dark room, Ness, who was secretly guarding, noticed the change in the magic in the air, and its eyes widened in surprise:

"It's ...... A harbinger of field resonance? ”

"Lord Charlotte...... Is this the ontology going to return to the posture of the Sage?! ”

Of course, all this, Charlotte no longer knows.

The moment she fused the idol, she felt an unprecedented sleepiness hit her.

Soon, she fell into a deep sleep......
