Chapter 185: The Eve
Three nights later, night fell quietly on Nolan.
A small church located in the corner of Nolan. Compared with the local churches in the Kingdom of the Holy Church, this church is not too shabby, and there are only about twenty clergymen in it.
The purpose of this church is to provide a place of worship for students from the Kingdom of the Holy Church who are rushing to Nolan to study.
But today an uninvited guest is hiding in the shadow of the church eaves.
Pest yawned, and she hid in the shadow of the church in the form of a bat.
Originally, as a vampire, night should be her most active time, but in recent days Pest has been spending her daytime visiting the Hearthstone Tavern.
Of course, the purpose of going to the Hearthstone Tavern is to persuade the prince to go back to the Demon Realm with him.
It's a pity that Qiao Xiu's attitude is very firm. To be precise, Pest has no reason to drag him back to the devil world.
Joshua's life in Nolan was so comfortable that Pest couldn't believe it, let alone staying in the Hearthstone Tavern, even if Joshua was walking on the street, no one would stand up and try to drive this demon away.
Every time Pest saw the crusader female knight Misai talking and laughing with Joshua, she wanted to remind her, 'The one standing in front of you is a Chaos Demon! An extremely dangerous enemy in your scriptures! You should have drawn your sword instead of yelling that if you don't get any more legendary cards, you're going to give up! ! '
Even if she was standing in the camp of the demon world, Pest felt a little bit of... despair because of the harmonious relationship between the crusaders of the hostile camp and the demon prince.
It was indeed despair. She wanted to bring Joshua back to the royal city, but she had to make him understand the dangers of the human world.
But Qiao Xiu was living a very comfortable life now, and the church didn't bother the Chaos Demon at all, as if he was a harmless creature.
The experience of the past three days made Pest a little physically and mentally exhausted.
And her only hope of completing the task now is that the Church remembered that a Chaos Demon was living in the human city, and then prepared to send an army to destroy it.
Only in this way can she be confident enough to persuade Joshua to leave the city.
So recently, Pest has been keeping an eye on this small church in Nolan, but there are more than a dozen crusaders who often visit the Hearthstone Tavern inside the church, and the rest are nuns and missionaries who have no combat effectiveness. .
Just a dozen crusaders, not to mention Chaos Demons, Pest could kill them one by one in a little time, and they couldn't pose a threat enough for Joshua to escape from Nolan.
etc……
Pest's pupils opened suddenly, and the scarlet pupils emitted a dim light in the darkness. Maintaining the posture of a bat, she jumped from the eaves, flapped her wings and flew to a window on the top floor of the church.
She felt the fluctuation of space-like magic, which was very similar to the magic breath used by sinful demons, so Pest would definitely not be wrong in her judgment.
The church bastards built a teleportation array under this chapel!
Pest couldn't find the route to the underground of the church, so she could only stay on the top floor of the church, waiting for the teleportation array to open.
Building any form of teleportation array in Nolan without permission will cause great trouble, so the teleportation array at the bottom of this church is very small, and based on the overflowing magic power, Pest estimates that the ability to teleport three to four people at a time is already the limit .
It will also take three to four days for the next charge, so it is impossible for a whole crusader to appear in this teleportation.
The magic power overflowing from the teleportation array gradually dissipated, and after just five minutes, Pest heard footsteps coming from the church.
Four people... Pest 'sniffed' the smell in the air, and instantly judged that there were four people walking out of the church underground.
Three of the humans also carried a smell that Pest hated...heretical inquisitors of the church.
The other one...is abnormally weak in terms of magic perception, an ordinary missionary?
Pest, who was in a bat state, climbed up to the eaves, and she used the organs unique to bats to listen to the conversation of the three heretics.
Pest had dealt with the executioners of these churches for a while when she founded the black dove, and she once drank the blood of a heretic.
She obtained some extremely crazy knowledge from the blood, and although she forcibly forgot these memories, she still learned the 'language' of the heretics.
There is a special way of communication between judges, and Pest can intervene in this communication, or eavesdrop.
"The bishop shouldn't have ordered us to come to Nolan at this time. We can cut off the head of a Chaos Demon at any time, but we have worked hard for hundreds of years to weaken the brass dragon in the Blackwood Forest..."
'Pay attention to your words, presiding judge Rollaph... The endless knowledge we are pursuing is also established with the help of the church. This task will not last long. Seven days, if the task is not completed in seven days, we will return Darkwood Forest. '
‘Two presiding judges and twelve judges. These are half of the people who were inspired by the Inquisition Tribunal. The king who assassinated the Principality of Baixi sent only fifteen judges. What did the Chaos Demon do? '
'...'
Pest eavesdropped on the discussion of the three judges, which made her slightly relieved.
As a camp of the demon world, Pest was a little happy when she heard that the church was coming to assassinate her own prince.
Because then she would have enough reason to bring Joshua back to the Demon Realm...
Among the fourteen judges, including two presiding judges, it was hard for Pest to imagine that without adequate preparation and the protection of a powerful entourage, anyone could escape this assassination alone.
The only one who could protect Qiao Xiu in Hearthstone Tavern was Qiao Xiu himself, and that succubus couldn't form a fighting force at all.
So in order to avoid the attack of the heretics, Qiao Xiu had to return to the Demon Realm, where he was absolutely safe.
Pest lay on the roof of the church, feeling the magic breath coming from the church underground, which had begun to gradually disappear.
The teleportation array established underground in the church cannot be used continuously. According to the charging time of Pest, it takes two days to calculate, so it will take at least six days for all the judges to reach Nolan...
In other words, after six days is the time to assassinate...
Judges can't act outside the holy city for a long time, a week to half a month is already the limit, unless the church choir is accompanying them.
After receiving the information, Pest immediately left the church, flew into Nolan's night, and flew in the direction of the Hearthstone Tavern.
