Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel-Chapter 556: -55- Command_2

"If you feel comfortable then, I will assign you a task. Hmm... rather, an investigation."

Charlotte picked up the map and spoke.

"Investigation? Investigation of what?"

Odosia furrowed her brows.

"Do you remember the Underground Divine Palace of the Legris Domain? I need you to investigate these locations marked on the map to search for potentially similar temples."

Charlotte said.

After she finished speaking, a glint of light appeared in her hand, revealing a small Divine Statue.

It was a Faceless Divine Statue.

More precisely, it was a counterfeit Divine Statue crafted by Nisi using Blood Divine Power and Transcendent materials based on a real Divine Statue.

It had only one effect: to sense other Blood Divine Powers.

It was something Nisi had handed over to Charlotte.

Although Nisi had used the real Divine Statue, he had managed to create such an object.

According to Nisi, the counterfeit Divine Statue contained a model of an Array similar to that of the Ancient Hall within it, and it was also equipped with a counterfeit Array that could sense the presence of Blood Divine Power from a distance.

Initially, the greatest merit in Nisi’s discovery of three Ancient Halls was due to this.

Nisi had been hesitant to take it out and had not dared to disclose what he knew about the Ancient Hall because he wasn’t sure of Charlotte’s attitude and intentions, fearing that Charlotte would reclaim his body upon learning his secrets.

However, after Charlotte clearly expressed that she would not covet his puppet cat body, Nisi who had then confessed his secrets, honestly handed it over.

After obtaining it, Charlotte also tried it out and indeed, it sensed Blood Divine Power.

She then deliberately infused her Divine Power, bestowing it with a "Divine Grace Blessing." Now, this Divine Statue could truly be considered a "Divine Artifact," and its detection effect had improved significantly.

Although she hadn’t tried it, Charlotte estimated that it might already be better at detecting the presence of Ancient Halls than she was herself.

"Hmm... Let’s start the search from the Romany Duchy, investigating outward from this red dot as the center. I will give you the Castel family crest and manpower from various Castel Commerce locations at your disposal. Of course, the true purpose must remain confidential."

Charlotte pointed at the red spot on the map and spoke.

Odosia took the map.

Looking at the numerous red spots on the map, her eyes briefly lit up but quickly returned to calm, and she said solemnly,

"I understand."

Charlotte noticed the change in Odosia’s expression.

Clearly, the two months of moving back and forth between the Northern Land and the Royal Capital had been distressing for the Black Dragon.

Dragons, especially Black Dragons, prefer freedom to restraint.

Now, seeing a task that allowed her to roam across the continent, she quickly became spirited.

No wonder Odosia had developed deep feelings for the werewolf Noah’s brother.

During the ten years she had to convalesce underground, only he was able to communicate and relieve her boredom; it would be odd if their feelings hadn’t grown deep.

Otherwise, she would have stifled.

"Remember, once you sense anything, silently recite my name in your heart and notify me immediately."

Charlotte instructed.

Odosia nodded,

"I understand."

After receiving her assignment from Charlotte, Odosia left.

Charlotte watched her depart and nodded inwardly.

The task of searching for Ancient Halls couldn’t be disclosed to many—after all, it involved relics of the "Blood True Ancestor."

Among her followers, the ones capable of undertaking this task were only Yulster, Albrecht, Sebastian, and Odosia.

Out of the four, Yulster was occupied with tasks for the Nais Clan, Albrecht’s loyalty was questionable, and Sebastian had other tasks to handle, thus the most suitable person was Odosia.

Having left with the map, Charlotte got up to stretch her body and glanced out the window.

On the training ground, Nisi, panting heavily, had finished running a hundred laps under the "Servant Contract" and collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, panting heavily.

Around him, several Personal Guard Knights with playful smiles gathered; some waved leaves to fan him while others fed him iced lemon tea, and the sound of loud laughter mocked him at times, creating a rather cheerful atmosphere.

Watching Nisi being simultaneously mocked and meticulously cared for by the knights, Charlotte clicked her tongue.

Sometimes, it is difficult to determine whether this perverted cat’s emotional intelligence is high or low.

Thinking about the chaos Nisi had caused in the Count Mansion over the past year, Charlotte shook her head again.

It was said that a sign forbidding "men and Nisi" had even been posted at the entrance to the maid’s changing room, hoping... this guy would learn his lesson eventually.

Although she felt it was unlikely, since his mind was full of indecent thoughts, he was beyond redemption.

At that moment, Charlotte turned her gaze back from the window and was about to ring the bell for the second time but then realized something. In her mind, she called:

"Sebastian, come to the study."

Sebastian, being one of the Blood Favored, had a deeper contractual connection with Charlotte, so there was no need to ring a bell; a mental summons would suffice. freewёbnoνel.com

Soon, dressed in a black tailcoat and as elegantly dashing as ever, Sebastian appeared before Charlotte.

"Great master, you summoned Sebastian, do you have a mission to assign?"

He bowed respectfully and asked with a smile.

Charlotte nodded and asked,

"How are you progressing with the detailed content of the doctrine and the drafting of the canon we discussed a while ago?"

Sebastian became serious and pondered,

"I have developed quite a few ideas and have drafted some initial versions, but they are only theoretical and not yet refined to be shown to you."

"Especially concerning the parts about ’Dark’ and ’Order,’ our tone should focus on restoring order, but how to reshape order, how to make believers accustomed to ’Light’ accept ’Dark,’ and how to empower believers are problems."

"After all... it is not possible to turn everyone into the Bloodline, and ’Dark’ is much more difficult for people to accept than ’Light’."

"I think further amendment is required by integrating the practical aspects before we can finalize a doctrine that suits you best."

"So... I plan to visit the mining district, interact with your followers, listen to Luf and their suggestions, and also review some books from the Holy Royal Court for any other useful references or models."

Charlotte nodded slightly, praising,

"That’s a good idea."

After speaking, she pondered,

"Speaking of which, I also have a task that requires you to visit the mining district."

Sebastian perked up,

"Is it related to the Mining Workshop?"

Charlotte shook her head,

"No, it is also about the followers."

Saying this, she rested her chin on her hands,

"You mentioned empowering, and I’ve thought about that. There are many ways to empower, it’s not necessarily through the First Embrace, and granting Bloodline Power doesn’t necessarily mean turning someone into a Blood Favored..."

"Regarding this matter, I already have some ideas, and I summoned you here to give them a try."

"The time of the gods’ resurgence is drawing closer, and we don’t have much time left. Before the continuous resurgence of the gods, we must accumulate enough strength, and I... must also possess the power to stand against them."

"Therefore... it is time to formally launch our missionary work, our core doctrine is set, and as for the details, we can take our time to develop and refine them, after all... no church is perfect from the beginning."

Having received his task, Sebastian then departed.

Shortly after his departure, one of the Personal Guard Knights knocked on the door of the study:

"Count, a noble from the Falling Star who claims to be your friend is waiting outside the mansion."

A noble from Falling Star claiming to be my friend?

Charlotte was momentarily stunned.

Feeling a premonition, she closed her eyes to sense more, then the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.

"It seems... they can’t wait any longer."

She muttered.

Having said this, Charlotte instructed her Personal Guard Knights,

"Let him in, he indeed is my ’friend’."
