Hearthstone Tavern.

Qiao Xiu sat on the chair in the study and stretched, and patted his somewhat sore shoulder.

"Miss Ciri, I suggest you'd better change your clothes somewhere." Qiao Xiu looked at Ciri who was standing in the room.

As soon as the spellcaster lady entered the study, she took off her mage robe and coat, showing off her beautiful figure recklessly.

"Bathroom Eno is now using... It's been raining all day today, and it's just a mage's robe. ”

Ciri straightened her long, wet hair, and at that moment Ciri suddenly noticed a crow parked by the window and tilted its head to stare at the scenery in the study.

"She... You can't take pictures in the crow state, right? Ciri asked, pointing to the crow.

The crow flicked its wings and landed on the inside of the study, a dark glimmer shrouded the crow's body, and when the light dissipated, a dark elf stood by the window.

"Without hands, you certainly can't use a camera."

The dark elf raised his hands and told Ciri that he was innocent, and with the unpredictable figure of this spellcaster, no one would want to buy any photos even if they did take them.

"I... Need to avoid it? ”

When Ciri was alone with Qiao Xiu, he was already familiar enough to be able to joke with Qiao Xiu unscrupulously.

But the appearance of the dark elves meant that she had any information to tell Qiao Xiu......

"It's not necessary, it's not important information."

Josiu picked up a record book on his desk, which registered all the contestants who had passed the world's chanter audition, and the last one was the contestant named Home.

"Your Highness Qiao Xiu, I have already investigated the identity of that Holm, he was born in a poor human family on Squirrel Street, and when he grew up, he joined the Black Pigeon, but his position among the Black Doves is the lowest... That is, the kind of dispensable peripheral personnel. ”

A primordial crystal appeared in the dark elf's hand, and after she injected magic power into the original crystal, several photos appeared in front of Qiao Xiu's eyes.

"The underground prison he was talking about was a kind of underground squirrel street host... Special rituals, mostly orcs and goblins, though he had won rituals in underground prisons on several occasions. ”

When Qiao Xiu took the original crystal from the dark elf's hand, he took a cursory glance at the photos recorded inside, and soon saw a baby in a dilapidated swaddling cloth.

"What's going on with this baby?"

"The baby girl adopted by Holm, according to the rumors of other people in Squirrel Street, I heard that it was a demon girl who casually threw it on the street." The Dark Elf said.

"Demons?"

Qiao Xiu stared at the photo for a while, and found that the baby girl did have a small bulge on her forehead, and she might grow horns in the future.

"Long horns on the forehead? Horned Demon? Qiao Xiu searched the memories of the third prince and found that this baby girl was too far from the horned demon.

Horned demons are sheep-headed and lion-like monsters, and there are only two races in the Demon Realm that have a similar appearance to humans, one of which is the Succubus and the other is ......

"Could this baby girl be a Chaos Demon?" Qiao Xiu thought of a terrifying possibility.

"Chaos Demon? Your Highness Qiao Xiu, you need me to take her... Bring it back to the Demon Realm? The Dark Elf asked.

The Chaos Demon Clan cherishes their people very much, a Chaos Demon who lives in the human world, and the second princess of the Demon Realm, Cecili, who is far enough away in the Demon Realm, sends an entire team of watchers to bring him back to the Demon Realm.

"There's no need for this for the time being, you just need to send someone to keep them safe, and Squirrel Street is our territory now."

Qiao Xiu took out two letters that had been written from the desk, and then returned the original crystal to the dark elf along with the two letters.

"This is your second mission, the world's chantors will officially start the day after tomorrow, there are contestants who also need an audience, there are two tickets in this letter, please pass it on to two 'friends' from afar."

The Dark Elf took the letter without saying a word, and glanced at the address written on it.

The address clearly reads Nolan Church of the Holy Light.

"His Highness Qiao Xiu wants to invite those two legion leaders from the Holy Sect Country?" The dark elf glanced at the signature on the letter and couldn't help but ask more.

"No, I'm only going to invite a Legion Commander, and... A bishop. Josiu flipped the list of participants to the page with Leah's name on it, "They sent me a master opera artist to compete, and of course I must also say that two tickets are just a small heart." ”

"I thought that Your Highness Qiao Xiu would give me the task of assassinating them." The Dark Elf had put away the two letters, she had been monitoring the arrivals of the Holy Cult for a long time.

The hatred for the Inquisition has spread to the entire Holy Sect Country, and if it weren't for Qiao Xiu's plan, maybe the Dark Elves would have taken the first step and killed all the emissaries of the Holy Sect Country.

"Thank you for keeping your hatred under control, Miss Thousand Faces, and I don't think killing one or two clergy is going to destroy the whole country." Qiao Xiu said.

"Destroy..."

After the dark elf whispered this word, it turned into a crow and flew into the night of Nolan.

………………

The dark elves landed outside Nolan's chapel as a crow, and just as she was about to transform back into human form and place the two letters in a place where the Legion Commander and the Bishop could see them, there was a quarrel in the church.

"Lord Leah must return to the Holy City as soon as possible... This is an order from the Council of Light! ”

"Parliament? Why should I follow the orders of those little ones? ”

The dark elves fluttered their wings and landed silently by one of the windows, staring at the interior of the church.

The maiden, known as Leah, was confronting a Legion Leader of the Holy Cult who was holding a contract that radiated the aura of Holy Light.

"Your outing is already the greatest grace under the Pope's crown, but after you came to Nolan, you chose to participate in the ceremony held by the demons......"

The dark elves stood outside the window and listened silently to their arguments, and judging by the Legion Commander's words, the nun named Lia had committed a crime worthy of being brought to trial.

"What if I refuse?"

"Forgive me for being rude, Lord Leah, for bringing you back to the Holy City by force."

The relationship between the gray-haired old Legion Captain and Sister Leah was less like a guard and a master, but more like a jailer who watched over the prisoners and did not want them to escape.

At least to the Dark Elves.

The nun sensed the threat in the Legionnaire's tone, and the expression on her face was a little gloomy.

"Kroger, it seems that your loyalty to the Pope has made you forget who got you to where you are now." The nun whispered.

"I... Loyal only to the Cult Country, you have been threatened by the Chaos Demon in Nolan, and the loss of Lord Ria would be a disaster for the entire country. ”

Before the old Legion Commander could finish his words, a strange figure suddenly appeared in the shadows behind him.

Vulture... He is also one of the legions of the Legion Commander who belongs to the Holy Cult Army.

The vultures emerging from the shadows deliberately suppressed their breath, but the old legion leader noticed the presence of someone behind him.

"Vultures! What do you want to do! ”

"Don't worry, old fellow."

The vulture rushed forward the moment it was spotted, its left hand clenched into a fist and struck the legion commander in the abdomen with the sound of air being torn apart.

The Legion Commander had been on his knees for the first time, but he quickly reacted and used his hands to block the vulture's attack.

The price of resistance was a large number of cracks in the ground on which the soles of his feet were tread.

The vulture's other hand flicked at this moment, and a large amount of pure white powder poured towards the old Legionnaire, and it was too late for him to hold his breath.

Inhaling a large amount of this powder made his body begin to feel sleepy, and when he wanted to mobilize the power of the holy light in his body to dispel the sleepiness, he found that the magic had been sealed at some point.

"I just want you to get a good night's sleep." The vulture's voice came to his ears as he fell asleep, but he relied on his strong willpower to prop up his body and look at the expressionless saintess Heloria standing beside him.

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden......"

"Get a good night's sleep, Kroger... When you wake up, you will be able to return to the Holy City, and I will go back with me. Heloria said.

He wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat and he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

The light in the hand of the Holy Maiden Herolia flashed, and the magic of the sealed holy light attribute inside the church began to flow again.

The vulture moved its wrist and breathed a sigh of relief as it felt the magic in its body be reawakened.

"Lord Leah, how do I explain to Bishop Darko and your Guardian Knight Messiah?"

"The Messiah... She already knew that Darko's words would give him a reason, and Kroger would temporarily throw this guy into the ruins of the underground teleportation array. ”

After Herolia had finished these orders, she looked at one of the windows of the church.

"And greet the guests outside the window for me, she's seen it all the way."

"Guest?!"

The vulture was suddenly startled by Hloria's reminder, and he didn't feel that there was anyone outside the window at all.

But he had to believe the Holy Maiden's command, and the golden inscription overflowed from the vulture's hand, and the arrow broke out of the bow and arrow made of light, and disappeared into the night of Nolan.

"Escaped." The light on the vulture's hand vanished, ready to chase down the eavesdropper.

"Stop, it's a guest, she wants to leave, we don't need to stay."

Herolia looked at the few pitch-black feathers falling from the broken window, and in the feathers were two letters mixed together.

She waved slightly, and the letter flew directly into her hand.

"An invitation to the auditorium? Maybe...... That Chaos Demon was kinder than I thought it would be, or... Cunning? ”
