171 Chapter 171 - Rescue Long Chapter

Cheryl’s post soon appeared on the Mage Forum’s Motionless Library sub-forum. But, the post did not receive any response even after three entire minutes.

That was understandable. Even though there was a certain amount of time difference between the Nation of the Holy Church and Norland, it was very late into the night for the people of Norland.

Not many people would sign onto the magic network at such a late hour. That said, there were some mages that had ‘cultivated’ the habit of checking out the magic network before sleeping.

Because of their habit, when they saw Skotan Nun’s cry for help post, many people were jolted awake from their beds.

‘Miss Skotan, did you leave the Heresy Tribunal and arrived at Norland?’ Replied by: Whispers of the Magic Canon

‘Correction. She should have ‘escaped’ to Norland. Judging from the content of her post, Miss Skotan is currently being pursued by the inquisitors of the Holy Church.’ Replied by: Short Touch Wand

‘Where are you at? Perhaps there are people in the vicinity that could help you out.’ Replied by: Firebringer

Cheryl was stunned when she saw the massive amount of replies that appeared beneath her post. Very rarely does she become stunned like so. To an assassin, being stunned was very dangerous.

The garbage pile just so happened to be under the shadow of the alley. Cheryl covered Teresa’s mouth and suppressed her aura as much as she could. Quietly, she listened to the movements in her surroundings.

More and more replies were coming through from the Mage Forum. But, Cheryl no longer had the energy to concern herself with them. She was certain the inquisitors had entered the alley.

She could hear extremely soft footsteps, so soft that she cannot determine their location. During this period of time, she pulled out her dagger. She was prepared to risk it all.

It was another three-men inquisitor team. One of them was even an inquisition leader.

They did not discover Cheryl hiding in the garbage pile at the corner of the alley. But, they were certain the traitors were hiding in the alley.

The footsteps of the three inquisitors grew even slower. Cheryl felt that the only thing she could hear in the surroundings was Teresa’s anxious breathing.

When an inquisitor stood before the garbage pile, Cheryl knew that she would not be able to hide anymore.

Using the remaining power in her body, she rushed out the garbage pile. Like a serpent, she exposed her fangs and, with a movement uncatchable by the naked eyes, brandished her dagger and streaked a scarlet arc through the air. She sliced off the arm of the inquisitor closest to her.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

But, the two other inquisitors immediately reacted to what happened. A gray colored attack shot out from the tip of an inquisitor’s staff. The small alley simply wouldn’t allow Cheryl to avoid the attack.

‘This is Norland. The laws of Norland do not allow for public murders. Besides, do you all not wish to continue reading the ‘Diary of an Inquisitor?’ Replied by: Firebringer

As Cheryl read the series of replies, she couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, what the mages were most concerned with was her diary’s new entries. But, that was something she was proud of…

It was the only thing Cheryl was proud of in her entire life.

Using her fingers, Cheryl left her final two words on the forum.

‘Don’t come…’ Replied by: Skotan Nun

An inquisition leader and two inquisioners were not people that an ordinary mage could defeat. Even if there were really mages that dared to come to her rescue, they will only be caught up in dangers themselves.

Even if Teresa was dragged back to the Heresy Tribunal, those bishops wouldn’t do anything much to her. After all, Teresa was special…

As such, there was nothing for Cheryl to fear.
