188 Chapter 188 - Visi
It was already an hour and half later by the time Cheryl arrived at the Hearthstone Tavern. The trip took only twenty minutes. The remainder of the time was spent finding ‘weapons for killing.’
For ordinary assassination missions, inquisitors would generally carry two sharp daggers. After all, the inquisitors, with their abilities, were fatal weapons in their own right.
But, this was not an ordinary assassination mission. It was a platoon of over ten inquisitors and two or three inquisition leaders, a number enough to conduct a small-scale bloodbath of a war.
Cheryl rushed over to the Hearthstone Tavern with the thought that she’ll be participating in a war. That was the reason why she spent the time gathering weapons.
When she pushed open the doors to the Hearthstone Tavern, she noticed that the interior remained the same as before. The dwarves were raising their wooden jugs and shouting gleefully at the appearance of a new legendary card.
“Miss Nun! For you to not sleep this late at night, are you planning to reach the ranks of legendary again?”
“Wait… Miss Nun, before taking care of those bastards, come help me open a couple card packs. If you manage to open out a legendary card, I will pay for an entire month worth of drinks for you!”
The dwarves playing Hearthstone in the tavern late at night all knew of Cheryl. Even though they felt Cheryl to be a thin, weak, short and small human girl, they recognized and respected her outstanding skills in Hearthstone.
Cheryl didn’t know if she could utilize those weapons properly. But, it was better than joining a battle empty-handed.
After she tactfully declined the kind invitations from the dwarves, Cheryl walked up the stairs to the second floor.
When Cheryl stepped onto the old wooden staircase, she was wondering exactly how many people would the Chaos Demon be able to dispatch to take on the inquisitors.
Right now, the only battle power Cheryl could think of was another demon recorded in the Dark Gray Canon, one of the most highly ranked demons in terms of dangerousness, the Sin Demon.
Furthermore… Cheryl suspects that Joshua seemed to also control an entire undead army.
But, it would be impossible for him to let that undead army appear in Norland. Should he do that, it would not only be the inquisitors that would crusade against him, even Norland’s sages would join the crusade.
When Cheryl slowly walked onto the second floor and arrived at Joshua’s study, she discovered that her guesses were completely wrong.
This Chaos Demon had no plan to dispatch anyone to participate in this battle at all. It seemed like even he had not realized the imminent crisis.

The reason for that was because Joshua and Ciri were having a Hearthstone match.
Fortunately Joshua had already informed the workers of the tavern to allow this incomparably young looking inquisitor to enter his study before Cheryl’s arrival. Else, with all the weapons Cheryl was carrying with her, she would immediately be deemed as an assassin. Moreover, her behavior would categorize her as a hack-and-slash Dynasty Warrior-type assassin that didn’t care about stealth gameplay in the slightest.
“Could it be… you called me over not because you wanted to take care of the Holy Church’s inquisitors?” asked Cheryl.
“That’s right. But, before that, you should remove your weapons. Else, it might become a bit dangerous for you.”
Joshua took a glance at Ciri. The moment Cheryl revealed the weapons she was carrying, Ciri had placed her hand onto her staff.
There was also a bat hanging upside down outside the window. Her scarlet eyes have been fixed onto Cheryl the moment she stepped into the study.
“I understand.”
Cheryl knew that even though she was an ‘accomplice’ of Joshua, she had not received the trust from Joshua, or perhaps the people around him.
The two swords fell from Cheryl’s waist. They let out a very heavy sound as they landed on the floor. Then, Cheryl tossed the daggers on her waist and back onto the ground too. After that, she removed her outer clothes, leaving behind only a white form-fitting sleeveless garment.
