Chapter 486: -19- As evil grows one foot, the righteous grow ten feet.
Chapter 486: -19- As evil grows one foot, the righteous grow ten feet.
For instance, right now, she could vaguely sense the emotions of these Blood Demon Cultists.
The emotions of the other two were very consistent.
Awe, fear, longing...
Only the Bloodline believer who sneaked peeks at the "offerings" was somewhat odd.
Although there was fear, there was more unease, nervousness, and worry.
No awe.
No longing either.
Charlotte became even more curious.
Her gaze fell on the Blood Demon Cultist, and noticing her gaze, the Blood Demon Cultist’s emotions added wariness and caution while his nervousness rapidly increased.
That kind of mental fluctuation; Charlotte believed he might explode and attack her at any second...
Charlotte shifted her gaze away, not wanting to provoke him further.
She was currently using the body of a Blood Demon Priest and wasn’t suited for fighting; if her identity were exposed, it would be a loss.
However, although she shifted her gaze, Charlotte’s senses still primarily focused on that Bloodline believer.
This Blood Demon Cultist... seemed to be problematic.
And when Charlotte enhanced her senses, she noticed even more details.
The aura of this Blood Demon Cultist seemed a bit off.
Even though it was still the aura of the Bloodline, his seemed to be mixed, as if combined with something else.
Charlotte subtly connected to the Dark Night Ancient Castle and activated "Blood Summon" to further enhance her perception, and then shockingly discovered that there was no star representing this Blood Demon Cultist in the Crimson Star Sea.
This Blood Demon Cultist... was not of the Bloodline!
Not of the Bloodline?
Charlotte grew even more curious.
She decisively increased the input of Blood Divine Power, further enhancing her senses, and finally discerned the state of this Blood Demon Cultist.
His aura was not mixed but instead, he used some method to mask his true aura with that of the Bloodline!
The aura of the Bloodline was also not genuine, probably some sort of transcendent item.
And when Charlotte peeled back layers to discern his truly hidden aura, she suddenly didn’t know what expression to make.
She was familiar with that aura.
It was the aura of Holy Power, and moreover, a combination of Holy Power and Transcendent Power, roughly on the level of the Silver Moon Second Tier...
He was a Demon Hunting Knight disguised as a Blood Demon Cultist!
This discovery greatly exceeded Charlotte’s expectations, but after careful consideration, it also made sense.
This was Lutecia, the Royal Capital of the New Moon Kingdom, the stronghold of the Holy Royal Court New Moon Diocese.
If the Holy Royal Court couldn’t dominate everything here, then this Mireya First Church would be exceedingly incompetent.
Thinking this, Charlotte’s mood grew odd.
The Blood Demon Church probably thought they were well hidden, looking to stir up a major event in Lutecia, but who would have thought, their actions were already under the watchful eyes of the Holy Royal Court, even with undercover agents placed within, almost like being fished!
At this point, Charlotte’s mindset changed.
Originally, she planned to secretly report them, to trap the Blood Demon Church and prevent them from causing massive casualties with their actions in Lutecia, but now it seemed that everything was still under the control of the Holy Royal Court.
She decided not to report them and instead planned to take advantage of the confrontation between the Holy Royal Court and the Blood Demon Church to fish in troubled waters!
Of course, she would first need to move those children being used as offerings to a safe place.
As for how to move them... Charlotte looked again at the Demon Hunting Knight disguised as a cultist.
Although he was well hidden, with the keen mental perception of "Divine Possession," Charlotte still sensed his concern for the children behind her.
Charlotte was sure about it.
Not all Demon Hunting Knights were good or bad; some were fishing for merit, turning a blind eye to the innocent being harmed.
Charlotte didn’t know when the Church had discovered the plan of the Blood Demon Church, nor how they had dealt with past sacrifices, but at least for now, this Demon Hunting Knight truly cared about the safety of those children.
Charlotte thought quickly, glanced at the man disguised as a "Blood Demon Cultist," and said in a deep voice,
"You, these offerings are yours now."
"Their Transcendent blood is not pure, unsuitable to be offerings for the Duke."
That way, she also explained the ceremony that the Blood Demon Priest had just interrupted.
Hearing Charlotte’s words, the "Blood Demon Cultist" was slightly stunned, while the other two Blood Demon Cultists looked on enviously.
Being chosen as offerings, they were carefully selected, and even if the priest said they were unsuitable, they were still excellent vessels for providing Transcendent blood.
The Bloodline... ultimately craves blood.
The "Blood Demon Cultist" quickly bowed his head.
He respectfully bowed to Charlotte and then, under the envious gaze of the other two Blood Demon Cultists, took the few unconscious children away.
Seeing his figure disappear, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.
Entrusted to the Demon Hunting Knight, those poor little fellows were now safe.
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte set her face and said sternly to the other two Blood Demon Cultists, whose attention was still on the taken-away offerings,
"Lead the way; let’s meet the envoy of the Apostle Lord."
With the diversion of the offerings, the attention of the two Blood Demon Cultists was also diverted; they did not notice the oddity in Charlotte’s command, and they respectfully bowed and pleasingly walked ahead.
Seeing Charlotte’s generous "gifting" of the offerings, they were also tempted.
With someone leading the way, Charlotte also relaxed.
