Charlotte puts away Nice's spellbook and takes a certain black cat back from being a thief.

Then, she sank into consciousness and entered the Night Castle.

Sitting high on the throne of blood, the girl summoned Sebas, and the next moment, a crimson light flashed, and Sebas's consciousness appeared in the hall of the castle.

Perhaps because of his role as a castel emissary, Sebas rarely wore a deacon outfit, but a Unity-style aristocratic robe.

Of course, as an image-oriented elf, he is still dressed elegantly and appropriately.

"Great Master, your most loyal servant, Sebas Flameheart, bestows your heartfelt blessings to you, may your glory shine on the earth, and may your prestige spread to the ...... of the world."

Sebas got down on one knee and bowed respectfully to Charlotte.

His expression was extremely reverent, extremely respectful.

Charlotte bowed slightly.

Although as time goes by, there seems to be more and more followers around her who have a tendency to "lick the dog", but I have to say that if you really want to say who is the highest, it has to be this guy.

"Get up and tell me what you've seen in the North."

Charlotte said.

"Thanks to the great hosts!"

After receiving Charlotte's order, Sebas slowly stood up, he bowed slightly, saluted Charlotte again, and then looked solemn and said respectfully:

"Great master, I have already met with the Grand Duke of the North, and I have also conducted a certain investigation in the North, which is different from what I imagined before, the water ...... of the Grand Duchy of the North It's deep, I'm afraid. ”

Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte was not surprised.

There is such a huge forbidden circle hidden in the north, and even the faith connection of the gods can be cut off, which is strange if there is no story behind.

"Go on."

She motioned for Sebas to continue.

Sebas straightened his face and continued:

"Master, Grand Duke Stefan Sobieski of the North invited the Castel Emissary to the North, the purpose is not really to spread the faith of the Holy Court in the North, more precisely, he wants to use the banner of the Divine Court to suppress the totemic beliefs of the various tribes in the North!"

"The Grand Duke of the North doesn't really want to spread the faith of the Holy Court, but ...... He really wants to unify the faith in the North, and he wants to spread a new faith in the North in the name of the Holy Court! A faith that can be controlled by him in the name of the Holy Court! ”

"This is not a nominal belief, or a false belief, after further covert investigation, I found that the Grand Duke of the North has cultivated some 'priests', and these 'priests' ...... You can also use divine magic! ”

"Of course, these 'priests' are not the priests of the Holy Court, their 'divine arts'...... It is also somewhat similar to the tribal totem of the North, the Grand Duke of the North...... It seems that he wants to refer to the Divine Court, fuse the Totemic Beliefs of the North Territory, and create a new faith! ”

"Not only that, but the Grand Duke of the North has been secretly watching the situation in Castel, and he has become interested in our frequent missionary activities, and has further developed doubts about my faith, and your true position......"

He ...... The presence of our Night Order has been noted. ”

Listening to Sebas's words, Charlotte bowed slightly, but she was not too surprised.

The Grand Duke of the North didn't really want to accept the faith of the Holy Court, she had already guessed, and various sources showed that it was a monarch who was no less ambitious than Louis V, or even more ambitious than Louis V, and such a person would not be willing to become a puppet of the Holy Court.

Belief is the safest thing to hold in your own hands.

As for Castel...... The existence of the Night Order will not be concealed after all, especially after large-scale missions.

It's just that with the approach of the "Holy Advent Day", now that the "cults" in various parts of Miriaa have popped up one after another, Castel, who is on the verge of the rule of the faith of the Holy Court, is not so dazzling for the time being.

But even then, you have to be prepared in advance.

Fortunately, Charlotte's "officially certified" saintess status is still there, and even if the Holy Court finds out about the existence of the Night Order, it will inevitably consider her position.

After all...... Now the Divine Royal Court, which even has some schizophrenia in its internal thoughts, is no longer the terrifying giant that can casually pull out hundreds of thousands of Divine Legions, and every second is the air.

"So...... What is the attitude of the Grand Duke of the North? ”

Charlotte then asked.

Sebas respectfully replied:

"He's tempting, but ...... He also seems to be quite interested in the Night Order, and even vaguely expresses his desire to ally with Castel. ”

"In his words, if Castel is willing to cooperate, he is willing to help you send troops to help you fight against the bloodlines of the Falling Star Kingdom and become the true Queen of the Falling Star!"

Hearing this, Charlotte was really a little surprised.

"So...... What about his conditions. ”

Charlotte asked.

Sebas looked odd:

"The Grand Duke of the North wishes to hand over the captured Bloods to them after helping you ascend to the true throne, and in his words, the Bloodlines have caused the centuries-long division of the North, which is the revenge of the Northerners against the Bloods."

Hearing this, even Charlotte's expression became strange.

What?

In exchange for a future Bloodline captive, willing to ally with Castelle?

Looking at Charlotte's subtle expression, Sebas continued:

"Great hosts, actually...... As far as I know, this is not the first time that the Grand Duchy of the North has offered similar conditions. ”

"Did you know that decades ago, the first Grand Duchy of the North, and the grandfather of Archduke Stefan, made similar conditions when he formed an alliance with Louis V......"

"It's just that at that time, it was the blood of the Shedet clan that was exchanged, and the members of the 'Blood Demon Order' who were active in the crescent moon."

Speaking of which, Sebas took a deep breath and continued:

"Master, the Grand Duke of the North seems to have some kind of inexplicable interest in the Blood Clan, according to my investigation, in the Star and Moon War, those Blood Clans who were 'banished' to the Grand Duchy of the North by the Crescent Moon Kingdom according to the agreement eventually disappeared and disappeared completely."

"Behind the Grand Duke of the North, I'm afraid there are other forces that are interested in the Blood Clan, or are hostile to the Blood Clan, are supporting ......"

Other forces interested in the Bloodline?

No......

I'm afraid that this so-called force hostile to the blood clan is itself a blood clan.

To be more precise, the force behind the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory is probably very likely to be Hortsoksh, one of the six major clans of the Blood Clan.

Charlotte was thoughtful and judged in her heart.

This is not a random guess, as the ruler of the North, it is impossible for the Grand Duke of the North to be completely ignorant of the magic prohibition that envelops the North, and Charlotte already knows that the maintenance of the magic prohibition is none other than the Hortsosh clan.

Under the shadow of such a prohibition, it was also intended to develop a new faith, which would certainly not have been possible without the cooperation with Khortssosh.

And as for why the Khortsosh clan needed captives from other clans...... There are so many possibilities.

Not to mention that in the thousand-year blood war, the major clans have almost played out dog brains, and they have always been hostile to each other, for the blood clan, a magical race whose extraordinary power is hidden in the bloodline and fused with the blood, different blood clans could have seized each other's power through bloodline devouring.

It's like a weakened version of Charlotte's ability to "devour".

Charlotte is able to "devour" the power of other transcendents and even gods, while the lower bloodlines than her, although they can't do that, can also strengthen themselves by "sucking" the blood of the transcendent, and even directly "devour" the power of the bloodline of the same clan to improve their rank.

And in Albrecht's memory, the strongest inheritance of this power was the Kortsosh of the Blood Clan of the Way of Flesh.

Of course, the power to devour the bloodline of the same clan is also taboo in the blood clan order.

But now......

Could it be that someone in the Khortsosh clan is starting to touch these taboos?

Charlotte naturally thought of this, no way, it was really such a thing as "missing", it was hard not to guess the worst.

Of course, information is limited right now, and her guess is not necessarily correct.

But there was one thing Charlotte knew for sure, and that was behind the Grand Duke of the North...... I'm afraid it's indeed the Khortsosh clan, not a backer, at least a collaborator.

Judging from the actions of the Grand Duke of the North, perhaps they are also gathering strength to prepare for Advent Day.

Thinking of this, Charlotte exhaled lightly.

Advent ...... Advent ......

Almost all of the big moves of the forces revolve around the upcoming Advent Day.

Advent represents the resurrection of the gods, but the revival of the gods, except for their own churches, is not hailed by most secular powers, on the contrary...... On the contrary, it is regarded as the biggest crisis in a thousand years by the major transcendent forces.

Though...... The earliest source of power of these transcendent forces is most likely to be a certain god.

Not only that, but some careerists may even be ready to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt for gods.

In a sense, this situation can be regarded as an irony.

"Sebas, don't mention it for the time being, what's going on with the Free Tribal Alliance?"

Charlotte continued.

"Master, the Divine Servant Astrid's faith ties have been suppressed and it seems impossible to reuse the power you have given them, and from what I have traced, they should have embarked on a journey back to the Horde, probably intending to travel to the temple you foretold to try to re-establish the connection."

Sebas replied respectfully.

Charlotte pondered for a moment and ordered:

"To catch up with them and help them in their reconnection of faith, it may not be enough to rely on their own prayers."

No matter what secrets the Grand Duke of the North and Khortsos hid, the most important thing for Charlotte now was to quickly and officially absorb those hundreds of thousands of believers.

As for the rest, it would be enough to take the time to continue probing, and the North didn't show any threat to her right now, anyway.

"Master, the Grand Duke of the North is here...... How do I reply? ”

Sebas asked.

Charlotte thought for a moment:

"Unleash kindness and ...... at the same time Drag it as long as you can, and if you can't drag it out, you will refuse it for a suitable reason, but you can't tear your face. ”

"When I take care of the affairs of the Falling Star Kingdom, I will personally go to the north, now...... Just keep scouting carefully. ”

With that, she groaned slightly, and with a twist of her hand, another ball of light condensed.

Charlotte waved her hand, and the ball of light automatically flew towards Sebas.

Sebas subconsciously took it, and suddenly there was a lot of information about the northern realm in his mind, including information about the forbidden magic circle of the Khortsosh clan.

"It's ......"

His eyes widened and his face looked surprised.

"Some information may help you in your actions."

Charlotte said lightly.

Sebas's expression grew more and more awe-inspiring.

He nodded and leaned over slightly:

"Obey your oracle."

After conveying the order to Sebas for the next step, the summoning time was almost at its limit.

Charlotte waved her hand, ending the blood call.

Consciousness returned to reality, she pondered for a moment, and then following the connection of the blood family, she commanded Jurst in her consciousness:

"Jurst, come and see me."

Not long after the order was given, Jurst rushed over:

"Really...... No, women...... Her Majesty! ”

He bowed a little nervously.

Charlotte looked at him and asked:

"What happened to those who smeared the Deep Sea Demon Squid Essence on their battleships?"

"I was about to report to you that they are all ashore, do you need to let them go to Earl Stafford and turn themselves in?"

"No, just lock them up for now."

Charlotte shook her head.

"In addition......"

She paused, then continued:

"Prepare, I'm going to visit the Ness Clan's base camp tonight."
