"So... you suspect the Dreaming Salon is also related to the Blood Demon Cult?"
"Not suspect, but certain. With the clues provided by you and Nice, I followed the thread and, using Jordan as a breakthrough point, discovered quite a few traces. In the process, I even managed to destroy a hideout of the Blood Demon Cult."
Sebastian boasted.
Destroyed a hideout of the Blood Demon Cult?
Charlotte's heart stirred.
"So... any gains?"
Sebastian sighed.
"They're still the Blood Servants, and they vanished too quickly. I didn't have time to continue tracking."
"It was at that time I was falsely accused of killing clergy, and among the Blood Servants, there were vampires disguised as priests..."
With that said, a crimson page flashed in Sebastian's hand, then he respectfully presented it to Charlotte.
A page of the Gospel!
Charlotte's eyes lit up.
"Well done."
She accepted it with satisfaction.
As the page was acquired, it instantly turned into a red light and flowed into Charlotte's body.
Seeing this scene, Sebastian's expression became even more respectful.
Taking a deep breath, he continued,
"The Blood Demon Cult is collecting the cursed pages, and there must be a conspiracy... the Dreaming Salon is probably one of their channels."
"The Dreaming Salon is infamous, but it has never been dealt with. It has great momentum behind it, and its influence reached half of the nobles in the country... There must be a core figure secretly controlling it, and besides colluding with the Blood Demon Cult, there must also be a protective umbrella!"
"Not only that... I suspect they were also behind framing me and the Rose Society!"
The Dreaming Salon, huh...
Charlotte pondered.
"Where is the Dreaming Salon held?"
"It changes every time. You need an insider's introduction to have a chance to enter."
Sebastian said.
"In addition, during the investigation, I also found a familiar figure in Jordan's mansion..."
"Who?"
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
Sebastian knew her situation, and for her, there weren't many people who could be called acquaintances.
"Priest Lottie."
Sebastian solemnly said.
Lottie?
Charlotte was genuinely surprised this time.
"What's going on?"
She asked.
"Lottie has close ties with the cathedral, and the upper echelons of the church... are also likely to be related to the Dreaming Salon."
Sebastian hinted.
The upper echelons of the church...
Charlotte narrowed her eyes.
She remembered the obviously abnormal High Priest.
The High Priest had reached an agreement with her, but in the end, he abandoned Castell, obviously finding a better collaborator.
Thinking of the nature of the Dreaming Salon and the perversions that the High Priest had revealed openly and subtly that day, she could probably guess who the protective umbrella of the Dreaming Salon might be.
"Think... if we also write a report and directly report it to the higher-ups of the Holy Court, what effect will it have?"
Charlotte contemplated.
Sebastian instantly understood the girl's meaning and widened his eyes.
"You suspect... the High Priest is the protective umbrella?"
Although somewhat surprised, Sebastian did not doubt Charlotte's judgment.

In his view, God's judgment must be correct.
He thought for a moment and said.
"Five things..."
"First, there must be evidence, and it must be precise, ensuring a fatal blow."
"Second, the Grand Knight has just died, and in the next few days, the Inquisition of Borde will inevitably be in chaos."
"Although your power is unparalleled, I think it's best not to attract too much attention from the higher-ups of the Holy Court..."
"A fall from grace of a High Priest may well attract the Legendary attention, and Legendary... can communicate directly with Gods."
"Third, the factions within the Holy Court are complex, and the fact that the High Priest has a chance to compete for the Archbishop position shows that there are relevant factions supporting him."
"Even if it's reported, it may not necessarily get a response."
"Fourth, even if the High Priest is the protective umbrella, his goals may not necessarily align with the Blood Demon Cult..."
"And the greatest malice towards you comes from the Blood Demon Cult, as well as the nobles cooperating with the Blood Demon Cult, not the church."
"At least not for now."
"Fifth, all conspiracies are futile in the face of absolute strength. With your power, I don't think the people behind the scenes can really threaten you."
"Mistress Charlotte, we can collect information in absolute secrecy, identify possible targets, and then quietly pay them a visit!"
Sebastian's expression was excited, showing anticipation.
Having witnessed the power of the Lady of the Night, he now had more confidence than the Lady of the Night herself.
Charlotte, however, fell into contemplation.
Sebastian was right. Perhaps before today, Charlotte was still very concerned about her safety, but now that she had successfully advanced to the first tier Starry Sky, her strength had greatly increased, and her ability to protect herself had also improved significantly.
Not to mention, she had also unlocked a new ability, "True Ancestor's Liberation".
Although she hadn't had time to study it carefully yet, judging from today's performance, this ability could temporarily grant her power far beyond that of a third-tier Blazing Sun!
She wasn't sure if this power had reached the level of Legendary but undoubtedly, if used properly, Charlotte could completely dominate Borde.
Of course, the drawbacks were also obvious. This ability couldn't be exposed to the public, and there were time limits and an unknown cooldown period.
But overall, she was indeed out of immediate danger now, and she did have the power to fight back.
Being assassinated and targeted, she also had a lot of pent-up anger.
Perhaps, it was time for her to take action.
"So... what should we do next, do you understand?"
Charlotte took a sip of milk lightly.
Sebastian chuckled.
"Of course, continue investigating the Dreaming Salon, unearth the secrets of the Blood Demon Cult!"
"No need for that trouble, just tie up Jordan and bring him to me."
Charlotte said calmly.
After speaking, she thought for a moment, then changed her mind.
"No, no need to bring him to me, just tie him up and call my name."
Sebastian's heart skipped a beat.
"Understood."
"Remember not to expose yourself, disguise well. You can also let your subordinates do it, but don't leave any traces, arouse suspicion, or startle the snake."
Charlotte reminded again.
The Grand Knight had just died, and he died during the process of chasing Sebastian.
Sebastian's current situation was very delicate.
Although she had provided cover, it didn't clear suspicion, and Charlotte even had a bit of a headache about solving this problem next.
Sebastian also thought of these.
He respectfully bowed again.
"Understood."
"In addition... if you find members of the Blood Demon Cult again, don't alarm them, just call my name as well."
Charlotte added.
Sebastian's heart stirred slightly, bowing respectfully,
"Understood, I accept your oracle!"
After receiving the orders, Sebastian took his leave.
And Charlotte finally had some free time to properly study the new powers she had obtained.
