120 Chapter 120 - Heresy Tribunal
Messai was waving around a wooden sword in the chapel’s back garden.
She had woken up earlier than usual today. Furthermore, today was one of the few occasions where she swung her wooden sword with killing intent since coming to Norland.
The city of Norland was simply too flourishing. It was so flourishing that Messai had nearly forgotten about the cruel battlefield and her harsh life in the barracks.
Lately, in order to monitor that Chaos Demon, she had spent all her time in that ‘Hearthstone’ game.
Messai had found all sorts of reasons to justify her actions. She kept telling herself that she was going to the tavern to keep an eye on that demon.
But, that reason will no longer exist anymore in the upcoming days.
The reason for that was because… the Church was planning to act.
Today, the inquisitors from the Heresy Tribunal arrived at Norland through the teleportation gate from Norland’s neighboring country.
They were completely different from the Ecclesiastical Templars. If the Ecclesiastical Templars were the blade that will annihilate everything with the glory of light, the Heresy Tribunal would be the shadow beneath the glorious light.
Messai was not fond of working together with the Heresy Tribunal as the majority of those inquisitors were extremely strange and deranged even. At times, they would behave like a bunch of madmen.
But, the Heresy Tribunal was extremely powerful. Apart from doing shady and shameful businesses for the Holy Church, they were also experts in assassination.
Rumors had it that there was once a king from a small nation that openly called into question the doctrine of the Holy Church. Furthermore, he executed the Nation of the Holy Church’s missionaries in his country.
The Nation of the Holy Church did not dispatch their Ecclesiastical Templars to openly crusade against that rebellious country. Instead, the king met a tragic death in his own bed.
Everyone was certain that it must be done by the Heresy Tribunal.
Messai didn’t know if those inquisitors could successfully kill a Chaos Demon.
No… Messai should be praying that they would be able to kill that damned demon. But, for some reason, the bottom of her heart was telling her that she did not wish to see that demon disappear from this world.
This was the prayer hall, the place where one could get closest to the glory of the gods.
Messai entered the prayer hall and heard the sound of something striking the wall…
“Cheryl, that’s enough! Calm yourself!”
“I’m hearing it again… those crazy voices… god damn it! Get the hell out of my mind!”
Messai saw a figure covered in a black church robe smashing her head on the wall nonstop.
Even though cracks had appeared on the wall, she was still smashing her head at it. Even blood appeared on the robe’s hood.
“What’s… going on with her?”
Seeing the deranged appearance of that person, Messai subconsciously placed her hand on the handle of her short sword on her waist. That person was not acting like someone who was protected by the gods’ glory.
“We failed to catch up to the choir’s blessing before leaving. She’s acting that way because she longed for the Saintess Herolia’s singing voice too much.”
Another person from the Heresy Tribunal struck the woman on the back of her neck. That woman knocking her head on the wall lost consciousness and fell to the ground. But, even though she had fallen to the ground, she was still twitching nonstop.
Messai felt the action of the striker to be very rough and cruel. Furthermore, the tone of that person who spoke to her also sounded… rather irrational.
“Are you all really alright?”
Messai didn’t wish to bring a bunch of lunatics to that tavern. If they were to act reckless there, Norland’s dwarves might end up blacklisting the Nation of the Holy Church.
“We called you here to be our guide, not for you to question us. Knight Messai, tell us the location of that demon,” said another person from the Heresy Tribunal. That person’s attitude was extremely bad.
Messai took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart. Then, she turned around and began leaving the prayer hall.
Apart from the unconscious woman, the remaining three inquisitors followed after Messai.
When Messai walked out the chapel and turned around, she discovered the three inquisitors wearing black church robes had disappeared. In their place were three people she had never met before.
Messai does not believe those three had merely changed their outfits.
