190 Chapter 190 - Crusade

A week later. Inside Norland’s chapel.

Messai was kneeling before the statue of God and praying sincerely with her palms together. The moonlight entered through the chapel’s window and landed on the status and the female knight’s shoulder-length golden hair.

Messai was not praying for anything from God this time around. Instead, she was repenting.

At that moment, the entire Hearthstone Tavern will definitely be burned down completely by an unknown flame.

Because of that… Messai was hesitating.

Even though the Hearthstone Tavern was built by a Chaos Demon, the tavern itself was a place for people to let loose and relax…

“How long are you going to pray there, Knight Messai?! Are you planning to wait till those stupid dwarves all run away?”

The knights of the Ecclesiastical Templars were never fond of working together with these inquisitors. In the past, Messai had only believed them to be on the edge all the time…

It was only a week ago when she received the ability to enter the ‘magic network’ with the help of a mage at the Hearthstone Tavern, opened the Mage Forum and entered the Motionless Library sub-forum did she saw the ‘Diary of an Inquisitor’ at the top of the sub-forum.

There were already over five thousand replies to ‘Diary of an Inquisitor.’ One of the replies was made by her.

Messai admits that the magic network and the Mage Forum was akin to a miracle sort of magic to her. She felt like she had entered a new world using it.

But, ‘Diary of an Inquisitor’ revealed to her some of the most filthy things in her world.

That diary clearly narrated some of the atrocities committed by the Heresy Tribunal. For example, during assassinations, most inquisitors will not only take away the lives of their targets. For the sake of completing their mission, they will act unscrupulously.

One of the things that Messai was unable to accept the most from the diary was how it listed that, for certain cruel inquisitors, the choir’s hymns were no longer capable of suppressing the voices in their hearts. Instead, they were satisfied by the joy brought upon by blood and flesh…

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

Before reading that diary, Messai cannot imagine how there was such darkness hazing below the radiance of the Holy City.

“Wait… what did you say?”

The adjutant’s mumbles were heard by Messai.

When the adjutant tried to walk away, Messai extended her hand and grabbed his lapel. Like a powerless pigeon, the adjutant was dragged over to Messai.

“The…the new expansion for Hearthstone, ‘Goblins vs Gnomes’ will be released for sale tonight. That’s being spread throughout the Mage Forum and the Voice of Norland today. I heard that the first hundred people to purchase the new expansion will even… even receive some sort of commemorative card back.”

Perhaps because the adjutant’s main profession was a missionary, what he said in the moment of desperation sounded more like a propaganda speech. It was like he was urging for Messai to go and purchase Hearthstone cards.

“New card expansion?”

Ever since Messai read the ‘Diary of an Inquisitor,’ she had not been to the Hearthstone Tavern for an entire week.

She didn’t know how to face the traitor Cheryl…

Messai never expected that, in the short week she wasn’t there, a new expansion for Hearthstone would be released tonight.

“So… that game had a new expansion?”

That was Messai’s initial reaction to the news. She had thought that once she collected all the cards from the Classic pack, she would’ve gathered all the cards from Hearthstone.

To her surprise, that cunning demon actually launched a new expansion!

“No but. I am the director of this mission. Your job is to carry out my orders. Please obey my command, Knight Messai.”

The inquisition leader interrupted Messai. Then, he turned around and started walking out the chapel.
