Tome of Blood

Chapter 592-91- The Truth of the Holy Royal Court

Although Nice is now down and out, he was once a legendary wizard who had seen many storms.

After the projection of the Guardian Staff appeared, it quickly recognized the other party's identity.

"But... that's not right. I have dug up so many ruins and seals before. I have heard of most of the artifacts in this world, and I know the sequence of artifacts of the Holy King's Court like the back of my hand. But why have I never seen this artifact of wisdom?"

Looking at the guardian staff, Nice was surprised, confused and curious.

"Because it is a divine weapon that Harald created specifically to protect the Cardinal of the Law of Creation. It has never appeared anywhere outside of the Kingdom of God."

Charlotte said.

The Guardian Staff nodded slightly:

"Yes, just as the True Ancestor said, my mission is to protect the supreme artifact of my Lord and the faith of the royal court, so I have never appeared in the world."

"I see, no wonder it's just a projection... Wait, that makes sense, Lady Charlotte, the divine power you possess is not exerted through it with the help of the Cardinal of the Law of Creation, right? Well... it must be so. After all, although your power and the divine power have the same origin and may be combined in some special circumstances, in the conventional sense, they are two mutually exclusive forces after all!"

Nice said excitedly.

Summer season.

This guy Nice has some knowledge about mythology.

Even Sebastian thought that her mastery of the divine power came from her special relationship with Harald, but Nice quickly realized the essence after seeing the Guardian Staff.

Not only that, this guy's understanding of the power of blood and divine power was beyond her expectations.

The Guardian Staff appeared, saving Charlotte from a lot of explanations.

After some communication, Sebastian and Nice also understood the current situation.

"So... it was you who passed the information to the master before, and you hope that the master will intervene in the Holy King's Court and help the sleeping Lord to eliminate those forces that have infiltrated the Holy King's Court? And you will help the master to formally establish the master's status as a saint in the royal court, and fully support the master to regain his power?"

塞巴斯问道.

"To be more precise, it is not support, but following. The master has never regarded His Majesty the True Ancestor as an enemy. The sacred royal court that the master built was originally for His Majesty the True Ancestor. Although the master is asleep, he has been waiting for the day when His Majesty the True Ancestor returns."

Said the Guardian Staff.

"Wait, that's not right. As far as I know, the Holy Royal Court has regarded the blood race as an enemy since its inception. The blood race's decline is your fault."

Nice Road.

The Guardian Staff looked a little embarrassed.

It struggled for a while, and finally sighed:
"I have no idea."

"I have never left the Kingdom of God. I have only had one mission, which is to protect the body of the Cardinal of Creation and Law in the Kingdom of God and wait for the return of His Majesty the True Ancestor. This is the mission that the Master left to me before he fell into a deep sleep after creating the Holy Royal Court."

"I cannot directly influence the development of the church. I can only influence believers through dreams, and in exchange for blessings, I order them to work for the master. I once slept for a long time, and when I woke up, the royal court... was no longer the royal court described in the memory left by the master."

Sebastian was stunned:

"Wait... You mean to say that the Creator God fell asleep after building the Holy Royal Court?"

"exactly."

"This, isn't right? As far as I know, the Holy Royal Court has been established for more than a thousand years, but the Creator God issued an oracle decades ago and even caused a miracle. Could it be that... that was not done by the Creator God?"

Sebastian wondered.

The Guardian Staff looked a little embarrassed:
"If you mean the previous generation of saints who were blessed by the oracle several decades ago, then... it should be me who did it. Also, ninety years ago, one hundred and fifty years ago, and two hundred and ten years ago... it was all me."

塞巴斯：… …

Nice:…

Charlotte:…

"So, could it be that all the 'oracle' of the Lord of Creation over the past thousand years were actually issued by you?"

Nice look wonderful.

The Guardian Staff nodded:

“Mostly.”

"most?"

"Well, some of them were forged. It was from that moment that I finally confirmed that there was indeed some kind of force infiltrating the royal court. I have been quietly investigating this matter for hundreds of years and finally determined their identity."

Having said that, the Guardian Staff couldn't help but glance at Charlotte and continued:
"They... should be the secret religious organization mentioned in the inherited memory left to me by the master, the Temple of the Sun, which once fought against the True Ancestor."

"Because I have similar authority to the Master, it is difficult for me to detect their infiltration. Some of them can even bypass me and mobilize the Master's divine power. Not only that, they are also trying to erode my power through the faith network."

"They don't know of my existence, but they know that there is a 'guardian' in the kingdom of our Lord who is blocking their infiltration. Now, under their relentless pressure, the number of holy believers I can contact is decreasing."

"So... I will ask for help from the True Ancestor only after I know that His Majesty has returned."

It turned out to be like this...

Sebastian and Nice were slightly surprised.

"As far as I know, the one who invited Lady Charlotte to the Theocracy this time was the Theocracy's chief archpriest, Gregory XII. Could it be that... he is also a member of the Temple of the Sun?"

塞巴斯问道.

The Guardian Staff nodded:

"That's right. According to my investigation, the chief archdeacon Gregory XII, the Grand Inquisitor Francesco, and eleven of the twenty-eight cardinal archdeacons under them, as well as about one-third of the archpriests of the Theocracy, have all been corrupted to varying degrees. Some of the serious ones have even completely lost the faith of the royal court."

Have you lost your faith?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she thought of the "rebellious" Cardinal Filiberto.

"Losing faith is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is probably those people who have betrayed but can still use the divine power."

Charlotte said.

"You are right. These are the people I am most worried about. I don't know how they did it, but the high-level officials who infiltrated the Temple of the Sun are still able to use the divine power. Among them, Gregory XII is very likely the leader of the infiltrating force."

"Their invitation to the True Ancestor was also a conspiracy. Their real purpose was to use the royal court's divine weapon to kill you at the change of power ceremony!"

Said the Guardian Staff.

After hearing its words, Sebastian and Nice's expressions became slightly serious.

Charlotte looked calm and not surprised.

Not only that, she could even guess the follow-up that even the Guardian Staff might not know.

Killing is probably just one of the plans.

It would be best if we could kill her. Even if we can't kill her, we can seriously injure or seal her, and there will definitely be follow-up after that.

Behind the Temple of the Sun is Helios. If she is really seriously injured, Helios will probably appear and attack her directly.

We should also thank the low magic power of this era.

Helios' status is higher than hers, but the limit of power that this era can accommodate is only infinitely close to that of a demigod. Unless the so-called "Holy Day" comes and the magic power in the low ebb and the sleeping gods revive, otherwise, Helios, who is not sure of winning due to the power limit, will probably not directly conflict with her.

If it weren't for this reason, Helios would have probably come to kill Charlotte when she was still falling stars.

The Temple of the Sun went through a long circle and set up the conspiracy in this way, and this is probably the case.

Of course, there are variables now.

The plan of the Temple of the Sun was supposed to be secret, but Charlotte triggered a "miracle". Not only that, Charlotte also forced a corrupt cardinal and three legendary knights to rebel.

In this case, perhaps the Temple of the Sun will also change its plans.

"Guardian Staff, now that there is no external interference, we can have a good chat. Even though you know that this ceremony is a trap set by the Temple of the Sun against me, you still want to ask me for help. Do you already have a plan to deal with it?"

Charlotte asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty, as I said before, you are already the Saint of the Royal Court. The artifact of the Holy Royal Court is, after all, the artifact of the Holy Royal Court, and has always been connected to the faith network of our Lord. Although the Temple of the Sun has a good plan, as long as you take the lead in establishing a connection with the artifact before they act, you can make their plan fail, or even kill them!"

Said the Guardian Staff.

Nice frowned slightly:

"You can think of this, but they can't? After all, Lady Charlotte has already demonstrated her divine power."

"They can't imagine that, because they want to establish a connection with the Royal Court's artifact, the identity of the 'Saint' is not enough, they also need the 'key', and the 'key' has always been in the hands of the successive chief high priests, so the Temple of the Sun is not worried about the control of the artifact being seized. But what they don't know is that there is actually another 'key' in this world that can seize control of the Holy Royal Court's artifact, and that key has actually always been in the hands of His Majesty the True Ancestor."

Said the Guardian Staff.

"In my hand?"

Charlotte was stunned.

"This is the information mentioned in the Lord's inherited memory. In fact, I don't know what the other 'key' that the Lord mentioned is, but the Lord's memory mentioned that it is a 'key' that is far more powerful than the 'key' owned by the church. It is the source of the Lord's power. Once successfully activated, it can even directly control the faith network of the Holy Royal Court. If I tell you that the 'key' is in your hand, you will definitely realize what a 'key' is."

The Guardian Staff said respectfully.

What is the source of Harald's power?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She... seemed to know what the "key" that the Guardian Staff mentioned was.
