Chapter 585-84- Lady Charlotte, you are really a saint! ?
Divine power.
Charlotte felt an unprecedented divine power.
The rich sacred power was like a vast ocean, enveloping the entire holy palace.
With such a powerful divine power, even if a descendant of a legendary race came, he would probably be burned to ashes by the holy light the moment he entered the Holy Palace.
However, what made Charlotte feel awkward was that the threat she felt was not from the vast divine power.
On the contrary, not only did she not feel threatened by that vast divine power, but she felt a sense of closeness and an inexplicable calling.
But Charlotte didn't let her guard down.
Because she did feel threatened.
It was a kind of mythical spiritual perception. She could feel the throbbing of her own divine fire and the warnings of her own soul. And that throbbing and warning became stronger and stronger as she got closer to the Holy Palace.
Obviously, the source of the threat lies deep within the Holy Palace shrouded in vast holy power.
Charlotte had no idea what it was.
Perhaps it is the "Sword of Truth and Judgment" among the sacred artifacts of the Holy Court that can kill gods mentioned in the information, or perhaps it is some other artifact that Charlotte does not know about, or it may be a mythical-level restriction and barrier created by the Holy Court that can fight against gods.
Of course, maybe... it was some trick of "Helios".
"Your Highness, we are here."
The cardinal's respectful words interrupted Charlotte's thoughts.
The carriage had stopped and the door had opened. Sebastian had stood with his back to the priest and was looking at Charlotte with a hint of uneasiness and worry.
The same was true for Nice. After arriving at the Holy Palace, it became much more reserved than usual, and its occasional glances towards the palace were filled with rare seriousness.
Apparently, even Charlotte's two followers could clearly sense the enormous divine power that enveloped the entire palace.
At the same time, Charlotte felt all the eyes on her.
There were escorting Knights Templar and Knights of Inquisition, guiding priests and clerics, and the legends hidden among the Knights of the Church, all focused their attention on Charlotte.
Charlotte also noticed that the position of the Judgment Knight had changed at some point. Although it was still an escort position, it had also cut off the team's retreat.
At this moment, Charlotte understood that the second test after entering the Holy City had begun.
This is not a difficult thought to guess.
The divine power that enveloped the Holy Palace was so strong that even if Albrecht followed, he would probably be exposed and flee in panic.
To priests and ordinary people, the divine power is a gift from God, a gentle, holy, and healing energy. But to the "heretics" certified by the Holy Royal Court, it is a tyrannical and terrifying death warrant.
Obviously, the sacred power that enveloped the Holy Palace was the second test from the Holy Royal Court.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Holy Palace. No carriages from outside are allowed to enter. Please move to the Holy Palace with your knights."
Cardinal Filiberto repeated it.
Quiet.
Charlotte noticed that half a minute after she did not respond immediately, the atmosphere around her became noticeably more subtle, and some of the Judgment Knights who were in charge of the "escort" could not help but grip the hilts of their swords.
Even the knights on Luoxing's side realized that something was wrong. They almost took a step forward at the same time and protected Charlotte's carriage in the center.
Charlotte glanced at Sebastian.
Sebastian understood immediately, turned to face the knights, frowned and said:
"Everyone, stand down."
The knights hesitated.
They glanced at Her Majesty the Queen who did not stop them, hesitated for a few seconds, and then stepped back. Charlotte slowly stood up and got off the carriage with the help of Sebastian.
She smiled and looked at the solemn cardinal:
"Mr. Filiberto, the Theocracy's way of welcoming you is quite unique."
Filiberto's expression was a little unnatural.
He coughed lightly and smiled gently:
"This is all for the safety of Her Highness the Saint. You know, this is the Chief Nephew's changing of the term. It is a special period. The church has too many enemies in the dark. You are a distinguished guest who has come from afar, so we must ensure your safety."
Charlotte was noncommittal.
She did not expose the intention of the Holy Royal Court, but took the lead and walked towards the Holy Palace.
Cardinal Filiberto signaled to the priests and knights of the church, and many priests and knights followed suit and "protected" the girl.
Charlotte pretended not to see them.
Her eyes fell on the Holy Palace, looking it up and down, and finally fell on the tall statue of the God in front of the Holy Palace.
This is a sculpture that is far more lifelike than the statues of the gods worshipped in local churches.
And when Charlotte looked at the facial features of the sculpture, she was a little dazed for a moment.
Although it was a lot blurry, the high cheekbones and angular face were very similar to the Harald in her memory.
The only difference was that the god in the sculpture had a thick beard, while the Harald in her memory had only a slight beard.
This is a middle-aged version of Harald.
As Charlotte walked towards the Holy Palace and approached the sculpture, the mysterious sense of throbbing and threat became stronger and stronger.
However, what was enhanced in Charlotte's perception was not only the throbbing and danger, but also the closeness and calling.
A strange feeling arose in Charlotte's heart.
She unconsciously stopped in front of the sculpture and looked into its eyes.
The strange sensation became stronger and stronger. Deep in Charlotte's consciousness, the Holy Book of Blood gradually glowed with light, and the ring cross symbol floating above it also flashed with golden light.
Murmurs of prayer began to ring in Charlotte's ears, more and more, more and more secret.
That is the believers' prayer to God.
This faint sound of prayer became stronger and stronger as the cross symbol in the depths of Charlotte's consciousness gradually lit up.
At this moment, Charlotte finally realized what that mysterious call was.
That... is the call of the Holy Royal Court's Faith Network!
Charlotte hesitated slightly, then reached out and touched the statue of the god.
The moment she touched it, the cross symbol deep in her consciousness suddenly burst into brilliant golden light!
Charlotte only felt that her consciousness suddenly rose and her perception extended infinitely.
The golden light filled her "vision", and at the end of the "vision", she once again saw the throne and scepter of the "Kingdom of Creation", and saw the sacred door behind the scepter.
She "saw" the sacred golden gate slowly opening, and she saw something behind the gate that was shrouded in brilliant light and embodied the faith of thousands of people.
It was a cross, a golden cross carved with roses and thorns.
Although it was obviously different from the description in the holy scriptures of the Holy Court, Charlotte knew its name the moment she "saw" it.
The supreme artifact of the Holy Royal Court, the core of the core that connects the network of faith of the Creator God -
The Cardinal of the Law of Creation.
……
"Master Filiberto, is she... delaying her entry into the Holy Palace?"
Seeing Charlotte suddenly standing in front of the statue of the god, a high priest couldn't help but lean over to Cardinal Filiberto's ear and ask.
The eyes of the other priests and knights were all focused on the girl.
Filiberto also frowned slightly.
There's nothing we can do. It's just that the other party's condition is really not right.
He could have gone straight into the Holy Palace, but he suddenly stopped in front of the statue of the Lord God. Not only that... he even closed his eyes.
Time...it's been two minutes.
Filiberto could understand very well if an ordinary believer closed his eyes and prayed when seeing the most majestic and sacred statue of the royal court in front of the Holy Palace.
But he knew very well that the girl in front of him was no ordinary believer.
She is the object of suspicion in the royal court and the focus of attention of the top leaders of the College of Cardinals.
Regardless of whether it is the various news coming from the Falling Star Kingdom or the intelligence reported by the church, all signs indicate that Charlotte de Castel's position is seriously problematic!
Not only is it very likely that she has pretended to be a saint and deceived everyone, it is also very likely that she has long been cooperating with the evil god, or is even a follower of the evil god or even a "heretic" incarnation on earth!
This... is also the consensus of the chief priest, priests and many church knights who came to "receive" the Queen of Falling Star.
So... is this an attempt to delay time, or is it an attempt to do something before entering the Holy Palace to undergo the "inspection"?
Filiberto's eyes flickered.
After a slight hesitation, he was about to speak again, but before he could, something unexpected happened.
At some point, tiny specks of golden photons appeared all around, scattered like dancing snowflakes and fluttering elves.
The dreamlike light dragged a golden trail, dancing continuously, rising from the Holy Palace and pouring in from all directions.
Colorful light spread all around. Wherever the light reached, flowers and plants grew, and all things were renewed. Even the priests and knights who were affected felt that their bodies were deeply purified from the inside out, and they were filled with strength.
Everything... is brand new.
Feeling the majestic divine power, the priests all widened their eyes:
"Wow... Such a powerful divine energy! Such a strong power of purification!"
“The trail of glow… this… could this be the manifestation of the holy light recorded in the holy scriptures?!”
"God is above! This is the power of the Lord! This is the Lord's gaze! The Lord's eyes are cast down!"
"Praise the sacredness! Praise the royal court! Praise the great God of Creation!"
"..."
The priests were all excited, their attention drawn to the flying photons.
But soon, their excitement turned into complexity and astonishment.
The brilliant light continued to spread, and the number of flying photons increased.
I saw those flying photons constantly spinning and dancing, and finally... they gathered around Charlotte and fell on her.
The holy light descended, and the entire sculpture burst into brilliant golden light.
The light continued to spread, enveloping the girl in front of the sculpture and giving her a layer of sacred and noble colorful holy light.
Her golden hair was flying and holy light was spreading. At this moment, Charlotte looked like a goddess who had fallen into the mortal world, and her whole body was emitting an unprecedented holy glow.
Seeing this scene, all the priests fell silent.
Their eyes fell on the girl, with surprise, astonishment, complexity, regret and fanaticism.
Nice, who was hiding behind Sebastian, almost popped his eyes out:
“Oh my god! The glow trail! This is a direct mention from the Lord God!”
"Really... No, Lady Charlotte, you... You are actually the Saint of the Holy Royal Court?!"
