Gospel of Blood

The faith of Rose Society is so devout?

That's the only thought in the minds of all the church knights right now.

Absurd, bizarre, unbelievable... Yet, it's the truth.

The Holy Light cannot lie.

Even the evil ones in the Judgement Troops have died under the Holy Light's judgment.

Although many members of the Rose Society have been directly purified, the vast majority have survived.

This fact alone is enough to overturn everyone's understanding.

"How about it, Lord Rajiv? Do you still think Rose Society is an evil organization?"

Charlotte asked casually.

It's not unexpected that some members of the Rose Society would be purified. After all, for a non-church organization, you can't expect everyone to be devout believers. And even for the church itself, if every person were to undergo Holy Light Judgment from top to bottom, the Judgment Knights couldn't be sure how many scoundrels would be purified. No organization, no matter how tight knit, can avoid the occurrence of corruption over time. For Rose Society to have so many people withstand the Holy Light's judgment has greatly shocked them.

Even more shocking is that those they considered heretics, the demi-humans, each and every one of them is radiating with the light of faith.

Absurd!

Are these guys really demi-humans?

Even the Demon Hunter Knights were dumbfounded by the light emanating from them.

Rajiv's expression grew darker.

He didn't answer the girl's question but instead gave a cold snort, stepped forward, and grabbed the collar of the demi-human leader, Luff the Werewolf, and coldly asked.

"Tell me, what is your faith?"

His eyes glowed, and the Eye of Truth instantly activated.

Luff had previously cursed them as lackeys of the Holy Court, but now the light of faith on his body was as bright as stars. Rajiv couldn't believe there was no problem here!

Seeing this Second-rank Judgment Knight being so cautious, Charlotte's gaze also narrowed slightly. She secretly sighed and began to prepare her next targeted rhetoric.

Luff fell silent. His gaze shifted from the girl to the Judgment Knights for a long time before looking back at the Judgment Knight again, contemplating.

"Speak!"

Rajiv angrily repeated.

"I naturally believe in the great divine."

Luff lifted his head proudly and said lightly.

Silver light flashed in Rajiv's eyes, and he was slightly astonished. The other party was telling the truth...

Charlotte, on the other hand, glanced at the Wolfman unexpectedly. This guy is really good at skating around the edge.

The great divine... Although the continent of Myria generally associates this statement with the Holy Court, Nice once told her that a long time ago, this phrase actually applied to all true Gods. It's just that with the Holy Court becoming dominant, this saying gradually became monopolized by the Holy Court.

Now, most people, especially the Judgment Knights, equate the great divine with the Lord Harald.

In this case, is the faith of demi-humans actually related to a true God?

Didn't the books say they only worshipped totems?

Charlotte was somewhat curious.

Of course, now is not the time for curiosity. Since Rajiv's questioning was cleverly resolved by the smart werewolf, there was no need for her to brew rhetoric again.

It's time to strike back, and she must not let the Judgment Knights detect any flaws in the werewolf's words!

"Lord Rajiv, do you not believe in the Holy Light's judgment? Or... are you doubting the power of our Lord?"

Charlotte asked calmly.

Rajiv stiffened slightly, loosening his grip on the werewolf's hand. His expression changed uncertainly, and the Judgment Knights exchanged glances.

"Yes, Lord Rajiv, don't you believe in the Holy Light's judgment?"

"Actually wanting to judge devout believers, the Inquisition is really corrupt!"

"Hah! A bunch of lunatics who do evil under the banner of faith!"

Seeing Rose Society gain the recognition of the Holy Light and the Inquisition suffering, the Demon Hunter Knights were immediately delighted, and their confidence bolstered.

They were all being sarcastic and adding fuel to the fire, afraid that the situation wouldn't become chaotic enough.

Even worse, many Demon Hunter Knights stepped forward, rubbing their hands together, eager to move, obviously ready to fight.

If they were hesitant to fight before because of the great gap in strength, and they were afraid of taking responsibility, now... they had every reason to stop the Inquisition.

Protecting devout believers was the duty of the Demon Hunters!

Even the female knight, Kara, placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Rajiv's complexion grew even uglier. He glanced at the increasingly nervous Judgment Knights, gritted his teeth for a moment, and finally sighed, commanding.

"Stop the judgment! Release the people from Rose Society, let's go!"

After saying that, he mounted his horse, leading the Judgment Knights, and turned to leave.

"Hold on!"

Charlotte suddenly called out to him.

Rajiv looked at the girl coldly.

"Miss Charlotte, we have already suspended the divine judgment. What else do you want?"

Rajiv asked.

Charlotte glanced at the black cat, Nice, who immediately understood, stepped forward, and sneered.

"Hey! What do you mean? Tonight, the Inquisition has caused such great harm to Rose Society. I don't know how many devout believers have died under the sword of the Inquisition. Now that you have found out you judged wrong, do you just want to leave?"

Rajiv's brow furrowed even deeper.

"What do you mean, Lord Nice?"

"Of course, I mean it literally, Lord Rajiv. You represent the Inquisition, don't you? The Inquisition represents the church. A wrong judgment has harmed innocent believers. Shouldn't you explain? Shouldn't you compensate? How can the church gain people's trust in the future?"

Nice said leisurely.

Rajiv was furious.

"Are you mocking the Inquisition?!"

However, looking at Nice's smug cat face and the gathered dangerously looking Demon Hunter Knights, he fell silent for a moment.

Finally, he sighed.

"I will report this matter to His Excellency, the Grand Knight."

"How to compensate Rose Society will be decided by His Excellency, the Grand Knight."

With these words, Rose Society's status as an innocent organization was completely confirmed.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled slightly and said.

"I trust in the fairness of His Excellency, the Grand Knight, and I believe in the promises of all the esteemed Judgment Knights."

She didn't continue to pressure them, lest these crazy people become even more desperate.

With a serious expression, the girl continued.

"However, I think it is most important for the Inquisition to investigate the identity of the informer."

"The Judgment Knights are righteous and admirable. It is only because they were misled by the informer behind the scenes that they mistook Rose Society for an evil organization."

"This secretive informant is malicious. It may seem like they are targeting Rose Society, but in reality, they are targeting Castell and the Church!"

"I highly suspect that this hidden force is likely related to the Blood Demon Cult!"

"So... Lord Rajiv, I believe that capturing these truly sinister instigators who sow discord is the most important thing!"

"The Blood Demon Cult?"

Judgment Knight Rajiv narrowed his eyes.

Even the female knight, Kara, instantly became serious, her gaze fixed on the girl.

"Yes, a few days ago, after the Duke's banquet, I was almost assassinated again. The assailant was from the Blood Demon Cult."

Charlotte said.

Rajiv's expression immediately became solemn.

"I see," he said after a moment of contemplation. Then, he nodded slightly and gestured to the other Judgment Knights, "Retreat."

The Judgment Knights acted swiftly. After Rajiv gave the order to retreat, they quickly withdrew from the Rose estate.

As they left, their faces were all unsightly, clearly holding back a lot of anger.

Charlotte smirked.

Presumably... the Blood Demon Cult hidden in Borde would have a hard time for a while.

Turning her gaze away from the departing Judgment Knights, the girl approached the members of Rose Society and said to the Demon Hunter Knights who had followed.

"Esteemed knights, please release the members of Rose Society from their sacred chains."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Hunter Knights immediately took action, and the freed members of Rose Society all focused their gaze on Charlotte.

There were complex emotions among them—gratitude, excitement, confusion.

"Master! We knew it! Castell would never abandon us!"

The old servants and young boys and girls who had been arrested as peripheral members were excited, kneeling on one knee.

Even those elders and newcomers who had been rescued early and came with the girl also bowed respectfully.

"Please rise. Protecting family vassals is my duty."

Charlotte said, helping them up.

At the same time, led by the werewolf leader, Luff, the members of Rose Society came to Charlotte.

Luff's expression was complex.

Under Charlotte's astonished gaze, the second-in-command of Rose Society suddenly knelt down and said hoarsely.

"Lady Charlotte, thank you for rescuing us."

"Although I don't know what methods you used to save us, the Blood Wolf Tribe has always repaid kindness... I have never understood why Lord Sebastian chose to follow you, why he made us pledge allegiance to you, but now... I somewhat understand."

"From today onwards, we will also pledge our allegiance to you, just like we do to Lord Sebastian!"

After speaking, Luff bowed his head and kissed the girl's toe, performing the most solemn allegiance ritual among the demi-humans.

Behind him, the other demi-humans also prostrated themselves. Like a chain reaction, gradually, the members of Rose Society knelt one by one, paying their respects to the girl.

Underground forces place the greatest emphasis on loyalty and righteousness.

The president of Rose Society has declared his allegiance to Charlotte more than once within the organization, but the upper and lower echelons of Rose Society have always been puzzled and resistant.

But this time, after being rescued, they finally accepted it.

As the first rays of golden sunlight broke through the darkness, bringing light, the night had passed, the clouds had dispersed, and the sun... had risen.

The warm and gentle morning sun shone on the girl, adding a touch of sanctity to her already beautiful appearance, like a savior angel.

Seeing her dazzling figure, the posture of the members of the Rose Society became even more respectful.

At the same time, in Charlotte's perception, her Majesty Magic began the most rapid growth in history... Soon, her Majesty Magic reached the pinnacle of mastery, just one step away from true perfection.

She was just one step away from advancing to the first-tier Starry Sky.

"Great Lady Charlotte, did you modify the Holy Light Judgment? How did you modify the Holy Light Judgment?"

Nice couldn't help but ask his question.

Of course, it asked through the telepathy function of the Servant's final oath.

Charlotte glanced at it and answered in her mind.

"Of course, after the judgment of the divine believers, I added 'or loyal to the Rose Society, or loyal to Charlotte de Castell."

Nice: ...

"To filter subordinates with the Holy Light... That's quite evil. I can only say, only you would do it!"

It showed an admiring expression of worship.

At that moment, accompanied by the sound of hooves, a Judgment Knight returned.

Under the wary gaze of everyone, they saw him come to Charlotte and quickly say.

"Lady Charlotte, Lord Rajiv asked me to tell you something."

"The divine judgment of Rose Society can be revoked, but the president of Rose Society, Sebastian, attacked the Church's clergy a few days ago."

"He has been judged as a sinner and is being pursued by His Excellency, the Grand Knight."

"I also hope that you know who should be saved and who should not..."

With that, the knight mounted his horse again and quickly left.

And Charlotte's brow furrowed.
