Nice finally volunteered to take over Charlotte's problem, vowing that he would find a way to grant grace to Charlotte before she fell asleep.
It had no choice but to take the initiative and was waiting for Charlotte's smiling eyes. It was really afraid that this "ancestor" who just thought of it would actually use it as a magical weapon.
Nice assured her, and Charlotte felt at ease.
Although this perverted cat is usually not serious, after all, he is a legendary mage who has left a mark in human history. He is also one of the few extraordinary people who know the power of gods best, and his abilities are definitely not bad.
Otherwise, it would not have been hunted down by various religious groups in history because it violated the taboos of the gods.
Of course, although Nice "took the initiative" to take over the task, Charlotte was not completely idle.
Nice's efforts are only one of them. Even if she believes in the opponent's ability, Charlotte cannot place all her hopes on the opponent.
In addition, she also studied the faceless statue in her hand that was obtained from Albrecht, and planned to use this statue instead if Nice really failed.
It's just that if this is the case, she won't be able to fully fuse with the idol for the time being.
But that's okay.
The extraordinary power in Charlotte's body has reached the peak of Silver Moon, and the talent inheritance tree of the Blood Sacred Scripture has also been lit up to the third level with the replenishment of the remaining pages of the Sacred Scripture and the meditation training day after day. layer.
As long as she gets more help from the divine power of blood and strengthens her bloodline power, it will be almost logical for her to step into the Blazing Sun.
Even if she doesn't completely fuse the faceless statue, Charlotte can still do this.
The difference is probably that the faceless statue seems to involve some mysteries of mythological personality.
If it were fused, perhaps Charlotte's "Sacred Fire" would change further, but if it didn't fuse this time, she would have to wait until she wakes up.
Of course, as far as Charlotte is concerned, she is still more inclined to absorb the divine power and fuse the idols at the same time.
The Holy Advent is getting closer and closer, leaving less and less time for her to strengthen herself. Every time she sleeps is quite luxurious. If she can seize the time to narrow the gap between herself and other myths, she should seize it as much as possible.
Charlotte was very busy during the following period.
At the end of the trip to the royal capital, Castel officially became a direct vassal of the Crescent Moon. The Northland was successfully integrated into the kingdom's direct vassal system. After meeting with many nobles, various trade agreements came one after another.
After Castells College donated the family's collection of books in Charlotte, its reputation immediately spread, attracting many adventurers who wanted to join the college to teach, and they almost had to go through an interview within a few days. .
The infrastructure construction in Northland also reached its climax with Charlotte's return.
Peace has been decided, and the royal family's attitude towards the Northland has become clear. On the premise that Charlotte, the lord of the Northland, still swears to be celibate, the royal family has obviously reached an agreement with the Castel family.
The royal family is willing to protect the Northland, and the Northland itself has the power to compete with the principality-level lords. This means that the Northland has lost its biggest threat, and at least it can ensure peace for a long time.
Peace is never easy, but peace... always accompanies development.
As the most important trade center and transportation hub in the northern Crescent Peninsula, Castel Territory has inherent advantages. Now the external and internal situation has stabilized, and Lord Charlotte has personally promoted and smashed it. With the investment of money, the various baronies in the Castel Territory are changing almost with each passing day.
With the capital Beigang as the center, renovated roads extended out, gradually connecting the entire territory, and the number of active caravans was also increasing visibly.
The northern and southern parts of Castres, which had been destroyed by the war, were also rebuilt with great success with Charlotte's support.
Charlotte's construction plans for some pilot baronies are also progressing in full swing, and some knowledge from previous lives in this area is still very useful.
Although nothing can be seen yet, taking the Barony of Bertel, which connects the Roman Principality and Castells as an example, there is obviously a new atmosphere.
As for the construction of Castle's extraordinary army, it has also been carried out smoothly with the support of Charlotte. Although it will take a long time to take shape, it has officially begun.
Charlotte took matters into her own hands and selected many extraordinary soldiers who had served in the Leglis Rebellion and the Borde-Castell War from among her personal knights and existing guards, and gave them knighthoods. As a future officer candidate.
The entire Northland presents a prosperous scene in all aspects.
Of course, there is a price, that is, Quintana flows out like running water.
That is to say, the Northland is rich and the Castel family is rich, so they can withstand Charlotte's troubles.
But even so, it is difficult for the Castel family's own income alone to cover the planned development of the entire territory. If it were not for the war indemnities, the reduced contract taxes after becoming a direct vassal, and the numerous trade agreements, Charlotte would I guess I really can't make ends meet.
As for now, Charlotte estimates that the financial deficit will eventually be quite exaggerated, but it will still be within the tolerance of the Castel family.
At the same time, Charlotte's missionary activities were also carried out secretly, and Charlotte named them the Order of the Dark Night.
Under the guidance and leadership of Sebastian and the werewolf Luff, the eager Night Priests centered on the Castel mining area and expanded to surrounding areas.
The Barony of Leglis, as well as the border between Castor and the Grand Duchy of the North, became key expansion areas.
In order to cooperate with her own religious group, Charlotte simply relied on the authority of her lord and the strong influence of the "Wild Saint", and with the help of Lottie, she directly "evacuated" the church of the Holy Royal Court in the northern region of Castres. , "lied" all the priests to work at Castel Academy in Beigang.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Charlotte herself also lived a very fulfilling life every day.
Get up early every day, listen to reports from nobles and political officers in the morning, approve various documents, and issue orders to lords; continue training on extraordinary strength and bloodline talents in the afternoon; study the faceless statues in the evening, and read the Kingdom Library recorded in the spiritual world ’s collection of books and Albrecht’s remaining memories.
In her spare time, she would also pay attention to the progress of her religious group on a whim, and from time to time she would select believers who prayed devoutly and respond to them.
The days passed quickly.
Unknowingly, the ancestral recognition ceremony of the Roman Sword, which Count Jurst informed about, is about to begin...
"The Neis clan really has a sense of ritual, and they even specially prepared invitations to watch the ancestral ceremony."
In the reception room of the Earl's Mansion, Charlotte looked at the parchment with large gold characters in her hand and joked.
Opposite her, Earl Yurst, who was visiting again, sighed:
"Strictly speaking, it is an invitation letter from Falling Star Kingdom. Today I am here to deliver the invitation letter, not only as a blood descendant of Ness, but also as the messenger of Falling Star."
"Are you still a noble from Fallen Star?"
Charlotte was a little surprised.
Jules nodded:
"Many blood descendants have the noble title of Fallen Star. I also have it, but I don't use it often, and I don't interact with other nobles much. After all, blood descendants are immortal. Over time, people can easily find out the clues."
"This time I managed to make some connections, and I got the identity of the envoy."
Charlotte nodded slightly.
She glanced at the invitation and asked curiously:
"Your Excellency Yurst, since I plan to cooperate with you in destroying the recognition ceremony of the Roman Sword, it would be better for me to hide my identity and go there? Wouldn't it be easy to be exposed if it is so formal?"
Yurst smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Excellency Castel, we also want to keep a low profile, but who knew that the Fallen Star Royal Family would add you to the list of invitations to attend the ceremony after knowing that the Castel Territory became the direct territory of the Crescent Moon."
"This invitation letter was not drawn up by us, but by the Luo Xing royal family. In Luo Xing, it is also a tradition to invite famous nearby nobles to attend the ancestral ceremony. I didn't expect that this time the royal family would even include you. "
"We have encouraged the nobles to object to Edward III on the grounds that you are a Crescent noble, but they have been rejected. The king seems to attach great importance to inviting you to participate. I think... this may be related to your identity."
"After all, you also have the blood of Roman in your body."
After hearing what Yurst said, Charlotte frowned slightly.
She originally planned to disguise her identity and sneak into the Roman Principality, but with this invitation, it became an official visit.
She could decline the invitation and go quietly, but it would be fine if she hid it well, but if her whereabouts were revealed, it would be very embarrassing and arouse suspicion.
After thinking for a while, Charlotte asked:
"What do you mean?"
Yurst said in a deep voice:
"What the clan means is that since the royal family really wants to invite you, it might as well just go with the flow."
"It's not a bad thing to have a formal invitation. At least you can enter the ceremony openly. As for the specific details, we can adjust it."
After listening to Yurst's words, Charlotte nodded:
"Then I'll listen to you. Anyway...this is your home court. I'm just going to cooperate with the performance."
An official visit is not bad either. He can visit the capital of the Roman Principality openly and openly, and there is no need to hide his identity deliberately and arrange for a substitute to be in Castel during his visit to the Roman Principality.
As for the rest, let the Ness clan have a headache.
It was enough for her to cooperate this time to satisfy her curiosity about the ancestral recognition ceremony, to complete the agreement with the Ness clan, and to strengthen her physical body through the ceremony.
Since she decided to pay a formal visit as a matter of course, Charlotte also ordered and arranged a formal visiting group.
Because Sebastian went to the north to help with the missionary work, Charlotte decided to leave Nice with her this time.
The personal maids are still Shirley, and Rena, the royal blood descendant.
In addition, the visiting delegation was also accompanied by nobles such as Viscount Romain Foer.
The delegation set off by sea.
Two days later, Charlotte boarded the flagship of the visiting fleet and sailed towards Rohan, the capital of the Roman Principality.
