The return trip went smoothly.
Three days later, Charlotte returned to her home territory.
After "escorting" Charlotte back to North Port, the black dragon Eudosia set off again.
Her mission in the Roman Principality has been completed, and she will follow Nice's model predictions to find other ancient temples that have not yet been excavated.
Charlotte is quite satisfied with this trip to the Roman Principality. Although the process is a little different, several of her goals have been almost completed.
Putting aside the agreement with the Ness clan, with Yurst as a guarantee, Charlotte estimated that after she was promoted to Blazing Sun, it would be no problem to have the title of Duke of Roman on her head.
According to previous experience, she is likely to fall asleep again after promotion.
Maybe when she wakes up again, the Roman Principality will have been under the control of the Castel family, and she herself will become the Duchess of Roman.
Charlotte is still looking forward to it. Even without increasing the benefits of status in the human world brought by a higher title, a larger territory will help her secretly accumulate strength.
The search for the Ancient Temple of the Roman Principality has been completed.
After obtaining the Roman Sword, Charlotte had already received confirmation from the spirit of this artifact. The ancient temple that Nice speculated had not yet been discovered by the Roman Principality was the place where the Roman Sword was sealed.
As for the faceless statue that Charlotte longed for, it had naturally been "swallowed" by Roman's sword.
"This... when I was brought there by Romanus, it was just a sacred weapon. I finally became a real sacred weapon by merging with the idol."
"My true... True Ancestor Crown, you really won't melt me down and then re-separate the statue of the god, will you?"
Roman's Sword asked cautiously.
Obviously, despite Charlotte's assurance, Roman's Sword was still a little uneasy after learning that one of her main purposes for going to Roman's Principality was to find the Ancient Temple and the Faceless God.
"Okay, stop thinking nonsense. If I really wanted to melt you, I would have done so in Rohan, and there is no need to sign a contract with you."
Charlotte said angrily.
After saying that, she picked up the sweet milk that the maid Shirley poured for her and took a sip, then looked at Nice who was walking around the Roman Sword with great interest:
"If you still don't believe it, just ask Nice. I think... you should have a common language."
After listening to Charlotte's words, Roman Sword's attention turned to a certain black cat he was looking at excitedly with his big bright eyes:
"Speaking of which... I wanted to ask just now. Your Excellency Nice's aura... made me feel a little close and familiar... I wonder who your Excellency Nice is? Why does it make me feel a power that is almost the same as the same origin?"
"Meow, of course you will feel close to me. After all, my body, like yours, is made of Lady Charlotte's lost idols."
Nice said proudly.
After saying that, it looked at Roman's Sword with great interest, its eyes full of curiosity:
"But... I really didn't expect Romanus to be able to use the faceless statue to upgrade the sacred weapon to an artifact of wisdom... It seems that my research on mythology is not enough..."
"God... made of a statue of a god? Your body is actually made of a faceless statue of a god?!"
Roman's Sword said in surprise.
"So... you can rest assured that the kind-hearted Lady Charlotte has taken good care of even this waste like me. As a mythical artifact, you will naturally not destroy it."
Nice said matter-of-factly.
After listening to Nice's words, Roman's Sword felt completely at ease.
"By the way, speaking of which, I haven't completed the Roman family's ancestor recognition ceremony yet. My body is still bleeding with Roman's blood, so it should be strengthened, right?"
Looking at the Roman Sword in front of her, Charlotte suddenly remembered the ancestor recognition ceremony in the middle of the process and muttered to herself.
However, after listening to her words, Roman Sword's tone was a little strange:
"You? Ancestor recognition ceremony? This... isn't it? Are you still planning to let me purify your bloodline?"
"To be precise, it's the physical quality of this body."
Charlotte said.
After speaking, she looked at Roman's Sword:
"Any questions?"
"What a big problem! I can indeed help mortals strengthen their physical fitness and bloodline strength, but your body is no longer a mortal! Although the strength may not be enough, in terms of quality, it is already comparable to a holy body. Bar!"
Roman's Sword said.
Holy body?
Charlotte was startled.
The so-called holy body is the body of the saint, and it is also the body inherited by the myth after its birth.
Because after transformation by divine power, the holy body is no longer considered a mortal body.
After listening to Roman's Sword's words, Charlotte looked at her white palms thoughtfully.
Speaking of which...she did feel that she was becoming more and more controllable by divine power recently.
Could it be that...from the moment the divine fire was ignited, her body has been subtly undergoing the tempering and transformation of the divine fire?
Also when the drop of blood was separated during the ancestor recognition ceremony, if it had been as before, she would not have been able to incorporate divine power into the blood...
The only things that can carry divine power are 'sacred artifacts' and 'sacred artifacts'. If that's the case, could it be that her body has also been transformed unknowingly?
In this way, apart from the fact that the output intensity of the divine power of blood cannot remain stable, isn't it that she is no longer any different from those real resurrection myths?
Don't tell me, if Charlotte thinks about it carefully, this seems to be the truth.
After comparing the records about myths in Albrecht's memory and Roman Sword's own knowledge of myths, Charlotte was surprised to find that she... is really inseparable from the resurrected myths. What's the difference?
"Wait... then... doesn't it also mean that the bottleneck before my body can reach the demigod has completely disappeared?"
Charlotte seemed to have thought of something, and her spirits brightened.
There are bottlenecks in the promotion of extraordinary people, and the same is true for Charlotte.
However, she has the plug-in Blood Sacred Scripture, which allows her to make breakthroughs by lighting up the inheritance talent tree.
But there is no bottleneck in the recovery of the gods.
Charlotte was a little excited when she thought of this.
This means that as long as she continues to fuse with the faceless statue and absorb more divine power of blood, she may even directly increase her own physical strength to the strength of a saint!
With this thought in mind, Charlotte couldn't wait to merge with the faceless statue confiscated from Albrecht.
However, Charlotte did not act rashly.
Even if there is no bottleneck, she is not sure whether she will fall into a deep sleep after fusing the faceless statue this time.
No... It should be said that she had a vague hunch that she was likely to encounter a similar situation to the last time she was promoted.
Charlotte still believed in her hunch, especially after igniting the divine fire, it might be a qualitative change in the level of life. Her hunch was often quite accurate.
So... before merging with the Faceless God, she had to make arrangements to avoid problems with her territory and religious order after she really fell asleep.
That's all. After all, the territory is on the right track. According to Charlotte's various plans and arrangements, even if she is not in charge, it can be supported by Nice and Sebas. Her identity can also allow Nice to go camouflage.
But as for the Order... Charlotte still remembered that before she fell asleep, she had to prepare a coolie to replace her "granting divine grace".
Charlotte originally planned to let Nice, whose body was an "artifact", do this if she had no choice but to do it.
But now...
She had better options.
Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at Roman's Sword again, and her attitude became pleasant:
"Roman, you often hold ancestor recognition ceremonies. You should be quite skilled at granting mortal power, right?"
Roman Sword was startled by Charlotte's sudden gentle attitude.
"Um...it's okay. I have some experience. Really...Ms. Charlotte, is there any problem?"
"You can pull mortal consciousness into your mental space, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed possible. Although it does not last long, of course... I would rather call it the spirit space than the spiritual space."
"Well... the weapon spirit space, you can change the appearance of your transformation in your weapon spirit space, right?"
"This... can indeed be done. I have done this in the ancestor recognition ceremonies of the past generations. I also like to bring those Roman descendants into my consciousness for testing."
"very good!"
Charlotte nodded slightly.
She smiled and said:
"I am going to further enhance my power, and maybe fall into a deep sleep. During this period, I need to leave behind an existence that can connect to the faith center on my behalf and grant divine grace."
After saying that, she looked at Roman's Sword, and her smile became warmer:
"Roman, I see that you have extraordinary talents and amazing sword bones. I think you are a rare genius in ten thousand years, the most intelligent artifact in history!"
"While I am sleeping, are you willing to take my place and help me maintain the normal operation of my faith network and the blessings of God?"
Charlotte's random boast made Roman Sword feel dizzy.
It became excited almost immediately and answered without thinking:
"Yes! Of course I am willing! It is Roman's greatest honor to be able to serve you as your artifact!"
So easy to deal with.
Looking at the joyful Roman Sword, Charlotte and Nice secretly thought at the same time.
Nice glanced at Roman's Sword with pity.
The hub of the faith network?
The god who ignited the divine fire can be lazy and can completely block the voices of most believers and maintain the operation of the entire network at a minimum, but if it is an artifact...
Hey, wait and enjoy the prayers of thousands of believers 24 hours a day, 360 degrees without blind spots!
…
Half deceiving and half commanding, she let Roman Sword take over the work of the center of her faith after she fell asleep, and Charlotte finally put her last worry to rest.
After she gave the "oracle" to all her family members except Albrecht that she would further recover her strength and "sleep" for a short period of time again, she entered the dark room that Sebas had prepared for her.
The seals and boundaries of the secret room were prepared on the inner and outer three floors, and Charlotte lay down again in the luxurious crystal coffin that Sebastian had prepared for her.
In order to prevent the church from triggering another alarm this time, she also ordered Nice to prepare a super-large shielding circle in advance that could cover almost the entire North Port.
After everything was ready, Charlotte took out the faceless statue and placed it on her chest.
She closed her eyes gently and began to fuse.
Crimson light bloomed, and the faceless statue on Charlotte's chest gradually began to "melt"...
Charlotte only felt a warm force penetrate into her body and enter her heart.
Her heart, which had gradually been dyed red gold, was beating powerfully, and the divine fire in the center was burning fiercely.
Abundant blood power surged to the limbs, rapidly strengthening the flames in Charlotte's heart.
Gradually, in Charlotte's heart, where the divine fire burned, a space capable of containing divine power gradually formed.
The divine power that was once stored by Charlotte in the Blood Sacred Scripture, as well as the divine power scattered throughout her body and deep in her consciousness, were all drawn and gathered into the "Divine Power Pool".
A golden-red radiance bloomed on Charlotte's body, a palpitating aura gradually rose, and the entire dark room began to faintly tremble.
Layers of light lit up, indicating that Charlotte had left various magic circles to start operating on their own, suppressing the increasingly powerful power and aura in the dark room.
But even so, with the spread of divine power, the rich magic power began to escape around Charlotte's body, and the power of the elements became more and more restless. Gradually... there were even crystal clear red crystals scattered throughout the dark room. Precipitate.
That turned out to be condensed magic crystal.
The concentration of magic power in the entire dark room was so high that crystals precipitated!
Even outside the dark room, Ness, who was secretly guarding him, noticed the changes in the magic power in the air. His eyes widened with an expression of surprise:
"Is this...a sign of resonance in the field?"
"Lord Charlotte...is this body about to return to the form of a saint?!"
Of course, Charlotte no longer knows all of this.
The moment she merged with the statue, she felt an unprecedented sleepiness.
Soon, she fell into a deep sleep...
