MTL - Tome of Blood-Chapter 220 -70-College Visions (Happy New Year's Day)

  Chapter 220-70-Academy's Vision (Happy New Year's Day)

  The ethereal chants are beautiful and dreamy, and the bright holy light is sacred and stalwart.

  In the prayer room of Beigang Church, Charlotte in a white dress sits in front of the statue of God Lord Harald, clasping his hands and praying with his eyes closed.

  Looking at the young earl bathed in the holy light, the priests of the Wangting Church showed excitement, and they all drew a circle of crosses on their chests, secretly praising the holiness.

  A pious lord often means the growth of faith, which is especially important for the declining church in the Northland.

  If anyone in the Free Territory of Beigang looks forward to and is most loyal to the young Lord Earl at this moment, these priests are probably the only ones.

  In their eyes, the holy light on the girl is so dazzling, almost the same as the legendary saint.

  Combined with the various rumors in the Northland some time ago and Charlotte’s severe attack on the Gorefiend forces these days, in their view, the girl is simply a devout and loyal preacher, saving the "saints" of the Northern Church...

  After a long time, the radiance dissipated, and the hymn slowly stopped.

  Charlotte gently opened her eyes, a light flashed in the depths of her pupils, and her expression showed a bit of satisfaction.

   And this almost overflowing joy fell in the eyes of all the priests, and it was even more pious and fanatical. The eyes of the priests looking at Charlotte became even hotter.

   "Praise the Holy!"

  Charlotte stretched out her right hand, drew a standard circle cross symbol on her chest, and then greeted the statue of God gratefully.

   "Praise the Holy!"

  The priests also showed excitement, bowing and saluting along with Charlotte's movements, their voices were neat and pious.

  Only Lottie, the temporary head priest of Beigang Church, looked away unnaturally, looking at the priests with vague sympathy.

  Praying once a day is already a daily routine for Charlotte to supplement the divine power of blood with the power of the Holy Light.

  Although there is only a little bit at a time, the accumulation of small amounts is also a steady stream of divine power.

  Every time she thanked the great Lord Harald...

  That is completely from the heart.

  At the end of the service, Charlotte got up with Shirley's help, while the priests crowded up one after another.

  Charlotte's eyes fell on these priests, smiled slightly, and said:

   "My lords, how do you think about my previous proposal?"

  The priests looked at each other, and then respectfully said:

   "Lord Earl, I think what you said is very reasonable. The Northland is no better than other places. We also know that it is extremely difficult to spread the belief of the God Lord here. Everything must be done step by step..."

"Yeah, the church has long lost its foundation in Castel. Not only that...the North has also gathered a large number of unbelievers and heretics who are hostile to the church. It may not be a very good idea to take tough measures to spread the glory of our Lord. Good idea."

   "We very much agree with the gentle policy you mentioned. If they can truly feel the light and goodwill of the church, they will eventually be moved one day..."

  Looking at the church priests who agreed in unison, Charlotte showed a bright and charming smile, and said gently:

   "Then I need to ask everyone. Restarting the missionary school is the first attempt. The Castel family will be responsible for all the funds of the missionary school."

   "However, considering the public's perception of the church, I propose that the revived church school should no longer be called the "Church", but directly called "Northland College". How about it?"

"This…"

  After hearing what Charlotte said, the priests looked at each other in blank dismay, but thinking of the current predicament of the church in Castel, they all agreed in the end:

   "Everything... is at your command."

  Charlotte's smile became more gentle:

"Then, I will need your continued support. There is no one in the entire Miria continent who is more suitable than the priests to be the tutors of the general education and etiquette classes. After the school restarts, everyone must be busy. "

   "Praise the divine, this is what it should be! And it is more convenient to serve as a mentor to point out the direction for young souls!"

  The priests said seriously.

  After some discussion, the only remaining priests in the church were arranged by Charlotte to teach in the "Northland Academy" that was scheduled to restart.

  Before leaving, all the priests looked forward to it, full of hope for the future in the near future.

  Looking at the backs of the priests leaving, Charlotte smiled.

  She turned her head, looked at Priest Lottie who had been silent all the time, and asked leisurely:

   "How is Lottie? How do you like my handling?"

  Lottie looked strange, she sighed softly, and said:

   "As expected of you... You easily diverted the attention of all the priests and made them available labor."

   "General education and etiquette are the boring courses that students hate the most, and they are also the most busy. Once they become mentors, I am afraid they will not have much energy to preach..."

   "Not only that, restarting the church school is the wish of many church priests in the Northland, but... depending on your attitude, it is not certain whether it will be a "Church College" or a "Castel College" in the end."

  After listening to Lottie's answer, Charlotte smiled noncommittally.

In the past few days since the review began, she has been thinking about what she can do now, and adhering to the idea of ​​"a century-old plan, education-oriented", she feels that in the long run, she must first grasp this aspect .

   This is also part of her efforts to consolidate her own rule and spread her beliefs in the future.

   "You are right, I do have plans in this regard, not only that... If the academy is really restarted, in the future, I will have the idea to send all the descendants of nobles in the territory to the academy to teach."

   Charlotte said.

  Lottie hesitated a bit and said:

   "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Nobles have their own inheritance and private teachers. Except for those who want to become noble priests, in fact, very few of them go to church colleges."

  Charlotte smiled and said:

   "It's just an idea. The future is very long. At present, it is mainly to find something for the priests in the North."

   "Whoever controls education controls the voice of thought. If you want to build the Northland into an impregnable place, you must strengthen this aspect."

  Lottie's heart moved slightly:

   "Lord Charlotte, are you... planning to start preaching?"

  Charlotte thought for a while and said:

   "For the time being, it's a rainy day."

  After discussing with Lottie the specific matters related to the reconstruction of the "Church College" that had been closed for many years in the Northland, Charlotte, who finished today's God Lord's wool, returned to the Earl's Mansion.

  However, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw the captain of the Beigang City Guard hurriedly greeted him under the leadership of the deacon of the mansion:

   "My lord, the city guard has something important to report!"

   As he spoke, the captain of the city guard presented a temporary parchment with both hands.

  The maid Shirley took the parchment and put it into Charlotte's hands. Charlotte picked it up and browsed through it, her expression moved slightly, showing surprise:

   "Clan Ness? Mission?"

   It's the last day of 2022! I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance!

   New year, new weather, next year will no longer be bad! Take the monthly pass in the hands of the readers as proof!
