185 Chapter 185 - The Eve

Three days later, at night. Darkness quietly descended upon Norland.

In a small chapel located at the corner of Norland. Compared to the chapels located in the Nation of the Holy Church, describing this chapel as being ‘poverty-stricken’ and ‘completely unpresentable’ would not be excessive. There were only twenty-some clergies inside too.

This chapel was only there to serve as a place of worship for the students from the Nation of the Holy Church studying in Norland.

But today, at a shadowy area by the eaves of the chapel, an uninvited guest appeared.

Pest was yawning. She had taken the form of a bat and was hiding in the shadows.

As a vampire, night time should be the time when she was the most lively. But, in the recent days, Pest has been spending her days in the Hearthstone Tavern all day long.

Of course, her purpose in going to the Hearthstone Tavern was to persuade the Third Prince Joshua to return to the Demon Realm with her.

Unfortunately, Joshua’s attitude was extremely firm. To be exact, there was no reason for Pest to drag him back to the Demon Realm at all.

That was the reason why Pest has been hiding in Norland’s little chapel and observing them. But, apart from the dozen or so templars that would frequently visit the Hearthstone Tavern, the remainder of the people in the chapel were nuns and missionaries that did not possess any fighting strength at all.

For those dozen or so templars, Pest herself would be able to kill them with some time. They would not be a match for a Chaos Demon at all. None of them could threaten Joshua to escape from Norland.

Wait…

Suddenly, Pest’s eyes opened wide. Her scarlet pupils shined dully in the dark. Still a bat, she leaped down from the eaves, flapped her wings and began to fly to the window located at the top of the church.

Pest detected the magic fluctuation caused by spatial magic. It was very similar to the magic used by the Sin Demons. Because of that, Pest was absolutely certain.

Those bastards from the Holy Church had established a teleportation formation beneath the chapel!

Pest was unable to find the path to the chapel’s basement. She could only wait for the opening of the teleportation formation at the top of the chapel..

Establishing any sort of teleportation formation in Norland without permission would bring upon an enormous amount of trouble. Because of that, the teleportation formation beneath the chapel was very small. Judging from the magic power flowing out from it, Pest determined that the teleportation formation would only be able to bring three to four people at the very most.

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

Furthermore, it would take three to four days for it to recharge enough magic to make another teleportation. As such, it would be impossible for the teleportation formation to teleport an enormous legion of templars.

‘Two inquisition leaders and twelve inquisitors, this is half of all the people from the Heresy Tribunal that has received enlightenment. Even during our assassination of the White Creek Duchy’s ruler, we’ve only dispatched fifteen inquisitors. Exactly what did that Chaos Demon end up doing?’

‘…’

After eavesdropping on the three inquisitioners’ conversation, Pest heaved a sigh of relief.

Even though she was on the side of the Demon Realm, she was actually feeling slightly happy after finding out that the Holy Church had dispatched inquisitors to assassinate their Third Prince.

After all, this would mean that she would possess enough justification to bring Joshua back to the Demon Realm…

Fourteen inquisitors… and two inquisition leaders among them… Pest found it very difficult to imagine how anyone could avoid the assassination without an abundant amount of preparations and powerful servants.

Joshua was the only person in the Hearthstone Tavern who could protect himself. That succubus simply possessed no fighting strength at all.

Thus, in order to avoid the inquisitors’ assassination raid, Joshua would have to return to the Demon Realm. Only by doing that would he be absolutely safe from them.
