Chapter 185: The Eve

Three days later, in the evening, night fell quietly.

A small church in the corner of Nolan, this church is not too shabby compared to the native churches of the Holy Religion, and there are only about twenty clergy inside.

The purpose of this church was to provide a place of worship for students from the Holy Religion who had come to Nolan to study.

But today in the shadow of the eaves of the church hides an uninvited guest.

Pace yawned, and she hid in the shadows of the church as a bat.

Originally, as a Bloodline, nights were supposed to be her most active, but in recent days, Pace has been spending her daytime visiting the Hearthstone Tavern.

Of course, the purpose of going to the Hearthstone Tavern was to convince His Royal Highness the prince to return to the Demon Realm with him.

It's a pity that Qiao Xiu's attitude is very resolute, to be precise, there is no reason for Pace to pull him back to the Demon Realm.

Josiu's life in Nolan was so comfortable that Pace couldn't believe it, let alone staying in the Hearthstone Tavern, even if Joshua walked down the street, no one would stand up and try to drive the demon away.

Every time Pester saw the Holy Cult Female Knight Messi talking and laughing with Josiu, she wanted to remind her, 'It's a Chaos Demon standing in front of you!' An extremely dangerous enemy in your canon! You should take out your sword instead of shouting something and abandon the pit without a legendary card!! ’

Even if he was on the side of the Demon Realm, Pace felt a little ...... for the harmonious relationship between the Holy Cult Army of the rival camp and the Demon Prince Despair.

It is indeed desperate, she wants to bring Qiao Xiu back to the royal city, and she must make Qiao Xiu understand the danger of the human world.

But Qiao Xiu was living a very comfortable life now, and the church didn't come to trouble this Chaos Demon at all, as if he was a harmless creature.

The experience of these three days has left Pace a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Her only hope of completing her mission now is that the Church remembers that a Chaos Demon is living in a human city, and is ready to send an army to destroy it.

This way she was sure enough to convince Qiao Xiu to leave the city.

So Pace has been keeping an eye on this small church in Nolan lately, but there are a dozen or so Holy Cult soldiers who often visit the Hearthstone Tavern inside the church, and the rest are nuns and missionaries who have no combat effectiveness.

With just a dozen or so Holy Cult Soldiers, not to mention the Chaos Demons, Pace could kill them one by one in a little time, and it was completely impossible to pose a threat enough for Qiao Xiu to escape from Nolan.

Wait a minute......

Pace's pupils opened suddenly, their scarlet pupils glowing dimly in the darkness, and she jumped off the eaves in her bat posture and flew to a window on the top floor of the church.

She sensed the fluctuations of space-type magic, which was very similar to the magic aura used by the demons of sin, so Pace would never be wrong.

The bastards of the church have built a teleportation circle underneath this chapel!

Unable to find a way to the church's underground, Pace stayed on the top floor of the church and waited for the teleportation circle to open.

Privately setting up any form of teleportation array in Nolan would cause great trouble, so the teleportation array at the bottom of this church was very small, and Pace estimated that the performance of teleporting three to four people at a time was already the limit based on the overflowing magic power.

It would take three to four days for the next charge, so it would be impossible to teleport an entire legion of the Holy Cult this time.

The magic that overflowed from the teleportation array gradually dissipated, and after just five minutes, Pace heard footsteps in the church.

Quadruple ...... Pace 'smelled' the smell in the air, and instantly judged that the number of people who had come out of the underground of the church was four.

Three of the humans also had a smell that disgusted Pace...... Inquisitor of the Church.

The other... Abnormally weak in the perception of magic, an ordinary missionary?

In her bat state, Pace climbed up the eaves and listened to the conversation of the three heresy inquisitors with her bat-specific organs.

Pace, who spent time with the executioners of these churches during the founding of the Black Dove, once sucked the blood of an Inquisitor.

She had gained some insane knowledge from her blood, and although she had forcibly forgotten these memories, she had learned the 'language' of the Inquisitor.

There is a special way of communication between the Inquisitors, and Pester is able to intervene in this communication, or overhear.

'The Bishop shouldn't have ordered us to come to Nolan at such a time, we could have decapitated a Chaos Demon at any time, but we've been working hard for hundreds of years to get that brass dragon from the Blackwood Forest weakened......

'Watch your words, Presiding Judge Roralfer...... The endless knowledge we are pursuing is also based on the help of the Church, and this mission will not last long, seven days, and if we don't complete the mission in seven days, we will return to the Blackwood Forest. ’

'Two presiding judges, twelve inquisitors, this is half of the inquisitors of the Inquisition, and the king who assassinated the Duchy of Baixi only sent fifteen inquisitors, what did that Chaos Demon do? ’

‘……’

Pace eavesdropped on the three inquisitors, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

As a camp in the Demon Realm, Pester was a little happy to hear that the church was coming to assassinate his own prince.

Because then she had enough reason to take Qiao Xiu back to the Demon Realm......

With fourteen inquisitors, including even two presiding judges, it was hard for Pester to imagine anyone who could have escaped this assassination alone without adequate preparation and the protection of a strong retinue.

The only person who could protect Qiao Xiu in the Hearthstone Tavern was Qiao Xiu himself, and that succubus could not form a combat power at all.

Therefore, in order to escape the attack of the heretical inquisitor, Qiao Xiu had to return to the Demon Realm, where he would be absolutely safe.

Pace crouched on the roof of the church and felt the magical aura coming from under the church, which had begun to fade away.

The teleportation array established under the church cannot be used continuously, and it takes two days for Pace to recharge, so it will take at least six days for the Inquisitors to reach Nolan......

In other words, after six days, the time for the assassination will come......

The Inquisitor could not move outside the Holy City for a long time, and a week to half a month or so was the limit, unless the church choir accompanied him.

Knowing this, Pester immediately left the church and flew into the night of Nolan, heading in the direction of the Hearthstone Tavern.
