Tome of Blood

CHAPTER 6 -6- INQUIRY OF THE CHURCH

Charlotte didn't have a good enough reason to stop the other party from coming in.

Even if there is, it can only be delayed temporarily, which is useless except to increase doubts.

She quickly broke away from that miraculous state, and lay down on the hospital bed again, while silently reciting the blessing of the Holy Scripture of Blood in her heart, while pretending to be weak, she said:

"Ahem...please come in..."

The door was gently pushed open, and the priest Lottie's figure reappeared.

Behind her, there were seven or eight people following, which made the ward, which was not considered spacious, even more crowded.

Charlotte's eyes slowly swept over these visitors, and it was easy to judge that they should belong to the three parties.

The two people at the front had the same costumes as those who rushed into the basement last night, a man and a woman, they should be the so-called witcher knights.

The clothes of the later two are the same as Lottie, with the circle cross symbol of the Holy Royal Court painted on it, and they should also be the priests of the church hospital.

The clothes of the last few people were much more gorgeous. They were obviously nobles. The first person was fat. Charlotte even had a sense of familiarity. They should be people he knew from the memory of the original body, and there was a young noble swordsman behind him.

Quickly analyzing the situation, Charlotte's eyes quickly fell on the female witcher knight who was following Lottie.

It was a tall female knight with shoulder-length black hair tied into a neat high ponytail.

A terrifying scar slanted across her cheek, destroying the original beauty and making her look extremely hideous.

She was expressionless and had a cold demeanor. Except for Lottie who was leading the way, everyone was half a step behind her. A few nobles occasionally glanced at her with awe and fear.

Especially the young aristocratic swordsman with the strongest aura and the highest strength among them, his dignified eyes never moved away from the female knight.

However, the strange thing is that Charlotte didn't feel any coercion from the female knight.

Charlotte instantly became more nervous.

"Miss Charlotte, this is Captain Kara, a second-level Demon Hunter Knight of Silver Moon, and the most promising Transcendent in the Duchy of Boulder in recent years to step into the third level of Blazing Sun."

Lottie was gentle and authentic.

Charlotte was not surprised.

She had already guessed the identity of the female knight.

Suppressing the vigilance and nervousness in her heart, Charlotte put on a timid and pitiful look.

She shrank into the small quilt, and her big, ignorant eyes met Captain Kara's eyes inadvertently.

Time seems to stop at this moment.

Those were a pair of deep black eyes as cold as icebergs, with a faint silver light.

Cold and deep, like a deep pool that cannot be seen at a glance, and like a sharp sword that can penetrate everything, with scrutiny and exploration...

With just one glance, Charlotte had the illusion of being stripped naked and seeing everything through.

The female knight's eyes flashed, and Charlotte only felt that her image in his field of vision was infinitely elevated, surrounded by monstrous seas of blood and dead bones, as if a real evil spirit was blowing towards her face.

She felt like a flat boat facing a storm, or like a hare on the prairie being stung by a cheetah, who could be destroyed and shredded by an irresistible force at any moment.

How many people did this kill? !

Charlotte was horrified.

"Kara, you scared her! She's not an interrogator, she's a victim, a patient in our hospital!"

An old voice sounded, with a hint of helplessness.

The one who spoke was one of the two priests of the church who followed him. He was very old and seemed to have a high status.

The female knight paused and looked back.

Only then did Charlotte break free from that terrifying sense of oppression.

Her chest heaved violently, and her vigilance towards the female knight reached the highest level ever.

This is definitely a "killing god"!

"Sorry, Miss Charlotte, Kara has worked in the Witcher all year round and is used to killing and interrogating, which frightened you."

The old priest said apologetically.

"This is our dean Raoul, a second-rank priest."

Lottie quickly introduced to Charlotte.

The second level of Silver Moon... the third level of Blazing Sun...

Is this the division of extraordinary power?

What am I now?

Apprenticeship?

Zero order?

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

Raoul is a kind old man.

He has white beard and hair, holds a scepter in his hand, and his whole body is filled with a sacred atmosphere. His image reminds Charlotte subconsciously of Gandalf, the white-robed wizard in the Lord of the Rings.

I saw him take a step forward and stood beside the female knight. First, he put his right hand on his chest and made a sign of the cross. He said reverently "Praise the Lord God", and then comforted him gently:

"Miss Charlotte, I am Raoul, the dean of the Boulder Church Hospital belonging to the Holy Royal Court."

"I know what you went through last night was frightening and painful, but for your safety, the church still has some details to ask before Carla's physical examination."

After finishing speaking, he whispered a few words to the priest who followed him, and the priest turned around to signal the nobles who followed him to leave.

The complexions of the nobles suddenly became ugly.

The leading fat nobleman frowned:

"President Raoul, this incident involves the nobles of the Principality. On behalf of the Duke's Palace, we have the right to know about this matter."

Dean Raoul rubbed his temples with a headache, and looked at the female knight in embarrassment.

The female knight Kara didn't look back, but her cold and calm voice was beyond doubt:

"Those who have nothing to do with each other, leave."

Concise and cold.

The nobles did not act.

Kara glanced at them indifferently.

She didn't repeat what she said, but the undeniable charm has once again been poured into the cold gaze and the slightly raised silver sword.

Seeing the silver sword shining with cold light, the nobles all changed their faces.

The young swordsman also had a serious look on his face.

He frowned, and was about to say something, but was stopped by the headed fat nobleman:

"Okay, let's listen to Master Kara."

The fat nobleman smiled embarrassingly, then winked wildly at the people around him, and forcibly pulled the young swordsman back.

Before parting, he did not forget to cast a friendly and bright smile on Charlotte.

The nobleman left, and soon there were only a few church priests and witcher knights left in the ward.

Priest Lottie breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the female knight's eyes soon fell on her, the remaining priests and the witcher knights.

Lottie: ...

"Captain Kara, Mr. Dean, we also retreat first."

She understood the other party's meaning in seconds, gave a wry smile, and left the ward together with the remaining priests and witcher knights.

In front of Charlotte's bed, only Captain Kara and Dean Raoul were left.

There are fewer people.

But Charlotte felt that the atmosphere was more dignified.

Dean Raoul coughed lightly, breaking the inexplicably heavy atmosphere.

Then, he looked at Charlotte and said with a smile:

"Miss Charlotte, it's just me and Carla now."

"Please relax, we are just asking some simple questions, it doesn't matter if you can't answer them, but please don't be silent, and don't lie..."

Charlotte poked her head out from under the quilt, and nodded lightly like a small animal.

That appearance, as if after being frightened, he forced himself to be calm and pretended to be a little adult.

She has calmed down.

The more critical the time, the less you can show your feet.

However, just when Charlotte was mentally prepared.

The old priest's question made her heart rise again:

"Miss Charlotte..."

"How did your abdominal wound heal?"
