Chapter 13 13 The Miss Who Takes Advantage of Others

Chapter 13 -13- The eldest lady gathering wool

"Is she here?"

"Coming! Already here!"

"Where is it?"

"It's in the middle hall! Let's worship with Master Raoul!"

"Let's go! Go and have a look!"

Boulder Mission Hospital, in the corridor outside the chapel.

The crowd was surging and bustling, and believers in different costumes rushed to tell each other, rushing towards the nave of the church like a tide.

Among them were trainee priests from the church hospital, residents living nearby, and young nobles who came with their entourage to admire the reputation.

This strange sight surprised the pedestrians passing by on the street who did not know the truth:

"What happened? Why did so many people gather?"

"Yeah, shouldn't the church here be very deserted on weekdays?"

"Are there any activities at the mission hospital today?"

"It's Miss Charlotte!"

The resident who was pulled said excitedly.

He pointed to the middle hall not far away and continued:

"She is worshiping in church! She has been attending church for three days in a row!"

"Miss Charlotte? Why does this name sound familiar?"

"Of course it sounds familiar, she is the eldest lady of the Castel family!"

"Castle? Is that Castel? The little beauty whose family was ruined a few days ago, but who gave the duke's illegitimate son to a smitten beauty after only one meeting?"

"That's right! It's her!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up:

"Let's go! Go and have a look!"

Watching the excitement is always a pleasure for ordinary people, especially for nobles.

As if it spread virally, pedestrians passing by quickly became excited and quickly joined the crowd of onlookers.

However, in the center of the whirlpool, in the nave of the church affiliated with the mission hospital, there was a sacred and solemn scene.

The ethereal hymns cleanse people's hearts, and the holy light illuminates the hall.

Priest Raoul is dressed in white divine robes.

He held the staff in one hand and the scripture in the other, solemnly explaining the teachings of the Holy Royal Court.

The holy light shone on him, making him look like a messenger of the gods on earth.

Bright, holy, majestic...

However, as a preacher, he was not the center of attention.

Under the podium, a beautiful girl was wearing a holy white dress, with her hands folded and placed on her chest.

She sat on her knees on the ground, her eyes lightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her face as delicate as porcelain was full of peace and sanctity.

The long golden hair was like shimmering silk under the holy light, naturally scattered on the ground.

Shining photons shrouded in divine magic flew around her like dancing elves.

Angel……

She is an angel who fell into the mortal world!

This was the only thought of everyone who witnessed this scene.

The believers who were listening to the church in the central hall became more pious one after another, looking at the girl and the priest with eyes full of admiration and enthusiasm.

And those people who came to watch the legendary beautiful noble girl couldn't help but become quiet.

They were afraid of disturbing the young girl who was praying.

They are afraid of destroying such a sacred, picturesque, holy and beautiful picture.

They feel ashamed of themselves, and they feel that any disrespect to the girl at this moment is like blasphemy against the gods...

The freelance painter who was attracted watched all this with excitement and couldn't wait to unfold the drawing board on the spot, wanting to depict this holy scene.

"Our Lord in heaven, may your name be hallowed, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."

The old priest solemnly finished the last prayer and gently put down the scripture.

He stretched out his hand on his chest and devoutly made a ring of the cross:

“Praise be to the Divine!”

“Praise be to the Divine!”

The believers also drew the Holy Emblem on their chests and praised in unison.

The chants stopped, and the divine magic that shrouded the middle hall was removed by the priests.

Today's service is over.

Priest Raoul gave a slight greeting to the believers, and then left the church together with the girl who got up.

The middle hall continued to be quiet for a while, and then the solemn atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The people watching outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other and saw admiration and shock in each other's eyes.

"So beautiful...she is really beautiful...no wonder so many people like her!"

"Your Majesty! Is she the daughter of the gods?"

"As expected of the beauty of the Castel family..."

"She is still the heir to the title! If anyone can pursue her, they can also get the wealth of the Castel family!"

"Don't be delusional. Even ordinary nobles may not be worthy of the Castel family!"

"But didn't the Castel family suffer? I heard she was the only one left?"

"It's so pitiful...she's not an adult yet?"

"Hey, even if your family is in trouble, the price of just one meal is your year's wages."

"Yes, I heard that even the beds and toilets in the Castel family are made of gold!"

"..."

"Haha, little Charlotte, how have you considered my previous proposal?"

"Becoming a priest does not mean giving up the inheritance rights of the territory, as long as you do not hold actual positions in the church. There are also many noble priests in the church."

In the corridor of the mission hospital, Dean Raoul and Charlotte walked side by side, with a kind smile on his old face:

"Seriously, I really admire you more and more. You are really suitable to be a priest. No... maybe you can even become a saint of the Church of God in the future!"

"Have you noticed? With you here, there are many more believers coming to the church to worship in the past few days, and even the priests are working harder."

"What do you think? Little Charlotte, are you willing to join the Church of God?"

Charlotte smiled sweetly.

She drew a cross on her chest skillfully, and did not answer directly:

"Grandpa Raoul, I will think about it again."

Dean Raoul nodded gently, showing his understanding:

"Sorry, I was a little anxious, you must have some other concerns."

"But I am speaking from the heart, you have a high affinity with the divine power, and it is not common to be surrounded by glory every time you worship."

"Look, even the power of God likes you very much, and is scrambling to bless you!"

Of course, they all want to purify me, but I persuaded them to change their minds in the end...

Charlotte smiled and slightly raised her chest, like a proud kitten:

"Of course, I am a devout believer in the Holy Spirit!"

"I am very honored and happy to be able to personally attend the worship hosted by you!"

She is really happy.

A second-level priest is worthy of being a second-level priest.

Today's worship, she got more wool through the divine ritual than the previous few days combined!

Dean Raoul nodded slightly, also smiling.

He had no doubt about the girl's devout faith.

"Has the wound healed completely?"

"Thanks to you and the priests, it has healed without leaving even a trace of scar."

"No, it's all because you are a devout believer of the Holy Spirit, a being blessed by our Lord."

The old priest shook his head gently.

"Officially discharged tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"What a pity, I need to go to the cathedral to meet the High Priest tomorrow, so I can't send you off in person."

"Don't bother, Sister Lottie has already notified my family, and the family will have servants to pick me up."

"But Castel Manor... Oh, yes, the Castel family has some shops in the city, and there are still normal people there."

"Well..."

Talking about the Castel family, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

After a moment, Raoul sighed and patted Charlotte's shoulder gently:

"Little Charlotte."

"Hmm..."

"I've heard some bad rumors recently... After you are discharged from the hospital, if you encounter any unsolvable difficulties, send someone to find me. I still have some face in the Church, and I can say something to the high priest."

Charlotte paused slightly.

She slowly raised her head and saw the old priest's pure eyes full of firm will and compassion.

A trace of warmth rose in her heart, and Charlotte nodded gently:

"Thank you, Grandpa Raoul."

This time, she did not use the tone of her usual deliberate cuteness.

The old priest smiled.

He smiled very happily.

"Okay, enjoy the peace of the church hospital for a while! I have helped you to stop many nobles from visiting these days. Hmm... you don't seem to like dealing with them."

"But, I can't help you after you leave the hospital!"

After saying that, Raoul gently rubbed the girl's hair on her head, laughed and left.

Watching him leave, Charlotte sighed.

Although the old priest wanted to get her into the church, he really did it for her own good.

This made her feel a little guilty for deceiving him.

Of course, this guilt was just a flash and disappeared.

After all, surviving in the other world is her top priority now.

Returning to her ward, Charlotte closed the door.

There were several layers of thick books on the bookcase at the head of the bed, all of which she borrowed from the church these days.

She has been in the hospital for six days.

On the third day, her wounds had healed.

In her spare time these days, besides trying to get some money from the church, Charlotte was either reading or testing her current physical condition.

She secretly took items to test it.

Although this body is only fifteen years old, the energy it contains can easily knock down three strong men.

Whether it is speed, strength, or endurance, it is very strong.

Ordinary people are not her opponents at all.

And when night falls, her physical fitness in all aspects will rise to a higher level, directly doubled!

However, correspondingly, she does have some obvious weaknesses.

The blood clan is indeed the blood clan.

Through these days of observation and experiment, she found that she was indeed afraid of sunlight as the legend said.

It was okay to stay in the room, and it was fine to be exposed to candlelight.

But if she appeared in the sun, her skin would have obvious burning pain.

You can't see anything in a short time.

But if you stay a little longer, your skin will gradually turn red and blister, and your body temperature will rise sharply.

Charlotte didn't dare to stay too long.

She estimated that if she stayed any longer, her life would be in danger.

Although she was not sure whether the protection mechanism of the Blood Code would be triggered, she was in the church now and it was better not to gamble.

Not only that, Charlotte would feel extremely tired under the direct sunlight.

The quality of all aspects of the body will be significantly reduced, almost 50%.

But other than that, things like garlic, silverware, and crosses are not a threat to her.

Except for divine arts.

The divine arts of the Holy Court have a strong restraint on her.

Fortunately, she has the divine arts countermeasures of the "Holy Book of Blood" to deceive divine arts, so she doesn't have to worry about it the least.

But she can't bask in the sun in the future.

But everything is not absolute.

As a pioneer in fighting against the "blood demons", the church hospital's collection of books also has many records about vampires.

And some books mentioned that some powerful vampires can ignore the sun, and some vampires with special blood talents can also walk freely under the sun.

In other words, if she can continue to improve her strength, Charlotte will be able to stand in the sun again one day.

In addition, Charlotte also has a certain understanding of the extraordinary power system of the Miria world.

The extraordinary division of this world is not as complicated and complicated as in many novels she read in her previous life.

On the contrary, it is quite simple and crude.

In this world, there are four levels of extraordinary power.

From weak to strong, they are Starry Level 1, Silver Moon Level 2, Blazing Sun Level 3 and Legendary Level 4.

Below Starry Level 1, there is a special stage between mortals and extraordinary, generally called Apprentice Level, Servant Level, Apprentice Level or Zero Level.

This refers to those who have mastered extraordinary power, but their power is not enough to completely surpass the limits of mortals, or not enough to trigger "divine arts" and "miracles" alone.

For example, Charlotte now.

As for the legendary level 4, it is the realm of God that mortals cannot touch.

The realm of God is mythology.

It is the existence that mortals look up to.

Mythology is all gods, but it can be divided into demigods and true gods.

For example, the old witch's sacrifice, the Blood Demon Duke, is a demigod, and one of the evil gods officially certified by the Holy King's Court.

All this information was read by Charlotte from church books.

It was embarrassing. She had the Blood Tribe's supreme artifact, the Holy Codex of Blood, in her hands, but it was too damaged, and she had to find a lot of knowledge in the church.

Fortunately, after a few days of buying wool, the charging of the Blood Summoning was finally completed.

Charlotte planned to try it out after leaving the church and returning to the manor tomorrow.

Sitting on the bed again, Charlotte felt a little thirsty.

She poured herself a glass of water and planned to read for a while.

However, after drinking the water, the thirst did not subside, but became stronger.

Charlotte's heart jumped.

Her "blood addiction" seemed to be coming back...

Today, the test push, the PK promotion competition is about to begin. Now the light novel channel is rolling up to the sky. It is difficult for original works to break through the siege. How many rounds can it last depends on everyone's votes and follow-up reading!
