Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 476: -15- She must be the Saintess!

Chapter 476: -15- She must be the Saintess!

As Charlotte’s greatest advantage, the "Divine Technique Counter" within the Blood Holy Scripture could almost intercept and modify all divine arts.

And the reason why it was "almost" is that not all "divine arts" could be detected by the Divine Technique Counter.

One such example was the Solidification Divine Art "Eye of Truth."

Strictly speaking, solidification divine arts could not be considered real divine arts.

Such magic techniques solidified within the caster’s flesh were no different from "magic," and more accurately, they should be described as solidification magic with a "Church" background.

It was precisely because of its Church background that in most cases, people were more accustomed to calling it "divine arts."

The solidification divine art Charlotte was most familiar with was the "Eye of Truth" of the Holy Royal Court’s Demon Hunting Institute.

She had seen Kara, the Demon Hunting Knight Captain of Bold, use it when she had just crossed over and underwent the Church’s inspection, and at that time the Blood Holy Scripture had no reaction.

Including later when the Judgement Court besieged the Rose Association, a Judgement Knight had also used this divine art on her.

To this day, Charlotte still did not understand the principle of this divine art, only guessing that it must be related to spirit magic, and might even involve the essence of the soul and mental fluctuations.

In the face of this divine art, she had to answer carefully, trying not to lie, otherwise, she might be noticed by the Great Priest.

Thinking of this, Charlotte took a deep breath, carefully choosing her words, and said,

"In the Illusion Realm, you invited me to become the Church’s Saintess, yet I declined."

Upon hearing this, the Great Judge Bernard and the Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph were both taken aback.

They instinctively looked towards Charles, the Chief Priest of the New Moon Diocese, and seeing that the highest clergy of the diocese still appeared calm, they too removed the astonishment from their faces.

Charlotte observed the reactions of the three legendary clergy and then continued,

"After the worship, I returned to the rented manor, and soon received an invitation to a noble banquet..."

"The invitation came from Duke Gaston; I attended his feast, where many nobles of the Kingdom were present, and they were all Great Nobles from different regions..."

"However, as soon as I entered the banquet hall, those nobles all revealed their true identities... they were mostly Blood Demons!"

Upon reaching this part, Charlotte’s face turned slightly pale, as if she was still frightened by the memory.

She paused briefly and took a few deep breaths as if to calm herself before continuing,

"The leader of the Blood Demons told me that the banquet was prepared for me; they summoned the Blood Demon Duke, wanting to devour me..."

"And I... chose to resist..."

"And then, I woke up..."

Hmm, all of it was true.

As for how to deal with such a test, Charlotte had some experience.

Omitting the key points, she spoke only what she could.

After speaking, Charlotte looked towards the Great Priest Charles to observe his reaction.

The legendary clergy’s expression remained calm, seemingly deep in thought.

He was clearly more experienced than the priests of Bold and did not conclude his inquiry. After a moment of contemplation,

he then asked,

"Count, may I be so bold as to ask you to demonstrate the power you wielded in the Illusion Realm?"

Hearing the Great Priest’s words, Charlotte showed an embarrassed expression.

She shook her head and replied,

"I’m sorry, Your Excellency, I’m afraid I must disappoint you..."

"In the Illusion Realm, facing the Blood Demon Duke, I vaguely sensed a feeling of discord and realized that I was probably in some kind of illusion."

"After that, I found that I could also imagine transcendental powers, so the power I wielded at that time was actually the power I imagined."

Hearing this, the three legendary clergy were all taken aback.

This time, even the Great Priest Charles appeared surprised.

The Demon Hunting Cardinal and the Great Judge even showed disbelief.

After exchanging glances, they couldn’t help but whisper to each other, their gazes towards the young woman becoming increasingly strange.

And after pondering for a while, the Great Priest Charles continued to ask,

"Then, Count, the power you imagined in the Illusion Realm... what was it?"

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, her expression somewhat embarrassed:

"It was... mythical power."

"I have read quite a few magic books, and I know how to deal with illusions, so I imagined myself erupting with mythical power that could confront the Blood Demon Duke."

"Then... I awoke."

Hearing Charlotte’s words, the Great Judge Bernard and the Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph seemed even more astonished.

The Demon Hunting Cardinal Joseph began to speak, then hesitated, measuring Charlotte with a look of shock and uncertainty, as if he had thought of something.

Great Judge Bernard’s brows twitched wildly.

He looked at Charlotte with a mix of amazement and confusion evident in his eyes.

Even the Great Priest Charles was momentarily taken aback, seemingly surprised.

"Your Excellency, do you have any other questions?"

Charlotte asked.

The Great Priest pondered for a moment and nodded,

"One last question..."

"You mentioned that in the Illusion Realm, I had invited you to become a Saintess, but you declined."

"Can you tell me why you declined?"

Upon hearing the Great Priest’s question, Charlotte showed a hesitant expression.

Her face revealed a struggle, as if debating whether or not to speak.

After a moment of inner conflict, she sighed as if resigned and said,

"Because... I do not wish to be under the Church’s control..."
