Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 105: -93- Priest Lotti

Chapter 105: -93- Priest Lotti

"The earliest ’Local Judge Force Force’?"

Sebastian quickly grasped the key point.

"A bunch of fakers fishing in troubled waters, abducting many girls from the Outer City District amid last night’s chaos."

Charlotte said coldly.

Sebastian instantly understood:

"People from the Drunk Dream Saloon?"

Charlotte neither confirmed nor denied.

She gently tapped her wineglass and suddenly chuckled:

"It seems... we have another reason to raid the Drunk Dream Saloon."

"Raid?"

Sebastian’s eyes twitched, quickly growing excited:

"You... you’re going yourself?"

"Why not?"

Charlotte retorted.

Sebastian had said he had once caused a commotion at the Drunk Dream Saloon and left unscathed.

This meant that the defensive strength of the Drunk Dream Saloon was at most that of a Second Tier Silver Moon.

She had now advanced to Starry, and was far stronger than an ordinary Starry Transcendent.

Not to mention, the event at Drunk Dream Saloon was held at night, when her strength would double.

This power already qualified her to investigate on her own.

Furthermore, should she encounter a formidable enemy, she possessed the ability of True Ancestor Liberation.

That was a power even the Blazing Sun had to retreat from.

All things considered, Charlotte no longer feared danger.

On the contrary, it was others who should be afraid.

Before the Holy Royal Court dispatched investigators, dealing with the Blood Demon Sect and the behind-the-scenes Nobles was the most pressing matter.

Charlotte decided to take matters into her own hands.

"No, of course, you can... it’s just that, with your status, it would probably be difficult to infiltrate easily."

Sebastian thought for a moment and said.

"Oh?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

"As you know, nobles who go to events like the Drunk Dream Saloon are mostly adult males. Even if you dress as a male... you don’t quite look the part of an adult."

Sebastian looked up and down at Charlotte’s petite and adorable figure, noting.

"But you have me, don’t you? If I follow you, naturally I can get in."

Charlotte said leisurely.

"Follow you?"

Sebastian was stunned.

He quickly came to and said:

"That could work... but, it might be uncomfortable for you. If you want to go with me, you’ll have to disguise yourself as a maid or... um, a companion."

"It’s no trouble."

Charlotte took a sip of milk.

This suited her perfectly; with Sebastian taking the forefront, she could diminish her own presence and operate more covertly.

"Make sure to disguise your appearance well this time; I don’t want you to be discovered the moment we enter."

Charlotte looked at his red hair and pointed ears and reminded him.

"Don’t worry, given the importance of the matter, I’ll ensure that even the Pure White Witch couldn’t recognize me! And I’ll use magic to conceal my presence!"

Sebastian boasted proudly.

As he spoke, he scrutinized Charlotte closely and couldn’t help but say:

"However... you need to apply your makeup well too, definitely make it uglier. As you are now... you’re simply too attractive, without making up to look worse, even with a changed appearance, you’ll attract attention."

Charlotte: ...

"I’ll do it. You take care of getting the clothes ready. Tonight, we must unearth the secrets of the Blood Demon Church and the behind-the-scenes Nobles."

Charlotte stated.

"Of course, everything as you wish."

Sebastian responded respectfully.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he suddenly paused.

Hmm?

Did he... ever tell the lady of the Dark Night that the Drunk Dream Saloon was happening tonight?

...

This was a dimly lit corridor, its end not visible at a glance, with flickering candle flames casting vague outlines.

On both sides of the corridor, there were rooms resembling prison cells, holding one girl after another in various outfits.

Their ages appeared quite young, the oldest not exceeding sixteen and the youngest seeming to be only eight or nine.

Inside one of the cells, several girls dressed in Castel uniforms lay unconscious.

Accompanied by creaking sounds, the large door at the entrance of the corridor slowly opened, and a woman dressed in a black robe, her head covered with a hood, her face concealed by a mask, walked in.

"Lord!"

The fully armed guards along the corridor hurriedly saluted.

The woman nodded slightly and walked deeper into the corridor, followed by two attendants in black robes.

However, halfway through, she suddenly stopped.

She turned her head to look at the maids of the Castel family imprisoned in the cell, her gaze subtly shifting:

"Castel?"

"These are new ’goods’ brought back last night."

One of the robed attendants respectfully explained behind her.

The woman frowned:

"These are maids from the Castel family, are you blind when you kidnap people?"

"The Castel have trackable badges, the Holy Judgment also failed, and the Rose Association still exists, at this time... you still dare to keep their people?"

"Don’t worry, Lord, we have already destroyed their tracking badges, and... during tonight’s salon, we will dispose of them, without leaving any troubles."

The robed attendant said with a slight smile.

Hearing his words, the woman fell silent for a moment.

Seconds later, she huffed coldly and continued walking deeper into the corridor.

At the end of the hallway was a lavishly decorated study with shelves filled with various magic books and an astrolabe at the center of the room.

A man in a mage’s robe stood at the desk, busily sketching on the astrolabe.

"Count."

Upon entering the room, the woman respectfully bowed.

The man stopped his actions and looked at her, smiling faintly:

"Oh, it’s Lotti, haha, please, take a seat."

Then, he waved his hand dismissively at the two black-robed attendants who had followed into the room; they bowed and exited, closing the door behind them.

The woman sat down inside the study, removing her mask and hood, revealing brown hair and a mature, beautiful visage.

It was the priest Lotti.

"I hear... last night’s Holy Judgment failed?"

The man’s smile faded, and he sat down in front of the desk.

"Yes, the heir of Castel arrived just in time with the Demon Hunting Knights and stopped the Judgement Court’s decision."

Lotti replied respectfully.

"Stopped? How did they stop it?"

The man narrowed his eyes.

"It was the Holy Light Judgment, the people from the Rose Association... passed the Holy Light Judgment."

Lotti said.

"Holy Light Judgment? Impossible!"

The man frowned.

Lotti did not continue to answer but bowed her head.

The man pondered with furrowed brows for a moment and then shook his head slightly:

"Never mind, it’s not your fault. Nobody expected the Rose Association to actually pass the Holy Light Judgment..."

Having said that, he did not linger on this issue but turned to ask other questions:

"Lotti, your visit isn’t just to report this, is it?"

Lotti nodded:

"The Great Knight... has fallen."

The man’s movements stopped abruptly.

"What did you say? The Great Knight has fallen?"

His expression became solemn instantly.

"Yes."

"When did this happen?"

"This morning, about thirty kilometers north of Bold City."

"Who did it? He should have been hunting down Sebastian, right? Could it be... he encountered someone from the Adam Church?"

"We don’t know... the Great Priest and Duke have sealed off more detailed information. Supposedly, there were no traces left at the scene."

Lotti spoke.

The man’s frown deepened.

He suddenly stood up from his chair and paced back and forth in the study, his expression alternating between light and dark.

After a long while, he slammed his fist down on the desk, gritting his teeth:

"That slippery old fox, such a big incident happened, and he still keeps it from me!"

After speaking, the man took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions and then sat down again.

He looked down at Lotti from his elevated position, nodding slightly:

"You’ve done well, the information you brought was very timely."

"The matters with the Rose Association as well, although the Holy Judgment failed, you haven’t disappointed me."

"However..."

The man’s tone suddenly shifted, supporting his chin with his hands, he looked at Lotti quietly:

"I should have given you two tasks."

"The first was to anonymously report the Rose Association to the Judgement Court, the second was taking advantage of the time when Rose Association’s leader Sebastian was being hunted, to attend the worship at Castel Manor, make contact with Castel’s Charlotte, and find a way to get her out..."

"Why didn’t you do the second task?"
