Feeling threatened, Pluck had no choice but to temporarily close the Black Pigeon Inn during the day and bring the watcher to the Hearthstone Tavern.
When Pester arrived on the streets of Noland, she immediately put on her hood. She was not afraid of the sunlight, but the watcher's cloak had the effect of concealing her aura.
Although Pester didn't like humans, she never dared to look down on them …
The lifespan of these creatures was pitifully short. In the time it took for humans to die of old age, it was not even enough for the newborns of Pester's race to grow up.
But there was no doubt that there were some powerful beings among them.
This was Noland, the city where all the elites of humanity gathered.
If her true identity was seen through by some powerful spellcasters, Pester believed that it would put her in an extremely troublesome situation.
"Josiah Yanorod lives in an area where humans gather?"
Pester left Squirrel Street under Pluck's guidance. She had thought that the chaos demon would stay in the industrial area where the dwarves gathered, or in an area at the edge of Squirrel Street.
But Pluck was walking towards the center of Noland, and the streets were already filled with all kinds of human merchants and spellcasters …
Pluck answered with a nod of his head.
"It's best not to lie to me at a time like this."
Pester still did not believe that a chaos demon could live in the center of Noland. Chaos demons were not like goblins or cave giants.
Although humans hated goblins, when they saw a goblin merchant appear in a city, their first reaction was to take a detour.
A demon was completely different. Under the propaganda of the damned church, most humans would show hostility when they met other humans.
If a chaos demon wanted to move around in a human city, it would have to hide its true identity. But even if it succeeded, living in the center of Noland was a very dangerous thing to do.
Pluck did not make any excuses for his actions along the way. This swindler was a man who was not very talkative.
Pester was brought by Pluck to the commercial street where the Hearthstone Tavern was located.
As soon as they stepped into the business district, the watcher lady became even more suspicious that Pluch was lying.
According to her perception, the number of spellcasters on this street was abnormal, and most of them were not newbies who had just graduated from the Academy of Magic.
If it wasn't for the fact that Pester didn't sense any hostility from these Spell Casters, she might have already taken out her weapon and prepared for battle.
"Here."
Pluck brought Pester to the entrance of the Hearthstone Tavern. Pluck had never been here before, but he knew that this was the business street that Josiah had mentioned in the letter.
As soon as they arrived at this business street, they would notice the Hearthstone Tavern as soon as they strolled around.
"Are you sure?"
Pester scanned the surroundings of the tavern. When she arrived at the entrance, she realized that the spellcasters who were strolling around the commercial street were all here for this tavern.
They were either heading to the tavern, or they had just left …
"Yes." Pluck couldn't find another tavern called the Hearthstone Tavern on this business street.
"Maybe this is where Josiah Yanorod is hiding?"
There were taverns in the Demon Realm's capital as well. After working as a watcher for several years, Pester knew that apart from drinking, taverns were also a gathering place for underground organizations.
Although … this tavern didn't look like a dark place, maybe the target she was looking for was hiding inside?
Pluck pushed open the door and walked into the Hearthstone Tavern, and Pester followed behind him.
But the moment she stepped into the tavern, she felt something that disgusted her … the power from the Holy Light.
Pester immediately searched the tavern for the source of the Holy Light.
This tavern was several times larger than the taverns in the Demon Realm filled with succubi, but she still found a woman with short blonde hair among the group of spellcasters …
"Messiah, even if you have the Fire Demon King, you can't beat me. Today, I'll let you feel the fear of never becoming a Legend."
"…"
This was the most thrilling game Messiah had ever played with Hearthstone. She met an old opponent, the Inquisitor from the Court of Heresy, Cheryl.
Cheryl, who should have returned to the Holy City, returned to Noland for some reason. Messiah didn't know the reason for her return, but the Desireless did not continue to give the order to 'send Cheryl back to the church'.
So although Messiah felt that Cheryl's return this time was a bit strange, as a crusader, he had no right to ask about the whereabouts of a 'Inquisitor'.
Cheryl's talent in playing Hearthstone was still much better than Messiah's, and even her luck was better than Messiah's. Several times in the game, Messiah thought that the Lord she believed in was on the side of this Inquisitor.
The result of this game was that Cheryl successfully defeated Messiah with the advantage of one HP with the help of a card set given by a spellcaster.
Not long after the game ended, before Messiah could ask Cheryl how she returned to Noland, her 'third eye' made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Scarlet, sticky blood. The special perception given to Messiah by the heavens even allowed Messiah to smell the blood that almost suffocated her.
Messiah had only 'smelled' this blood on a vicious murderer.
The spellcasters in the tavern didn't notice the blood, not even Cheryl. She was busy opening the card bag that she won from Messiah.
Messiah stood up from her seat and used the perception given to her by her 'third eye' to look at the door.
This excellent Paladin's eyes quickly locked onto the watcher standing at the door. The moment Messiah's eyes met the pair of scarlet pupils, Messiah immediately recognized the other party's identity.
Vampires! This was an evil race that allied with demons. However, unlike the tyrannical demons, the vampires were truly evil existences that treated humans as food.
Recently, more and more strange races had appeared in the Hearthstone Tavern, though most of them had no ill intentions towards humans.
Although most of them had no ill intentions towards humans, Messiah felt a real sense of hostility from this vampire …
She didn't come to this tavern to play a game of Hearthstone. Instead, she had other intentions.
A golden inscription appeared on Messiah's arm. Today was her rest day, so she had the time to come to the Hearthstone Tavern during the day. This was also why Messiah didn't bring any weapons.
Even without a weapon, Messiah was still a powerful Paladin with the power of the Holy Light.
If Messiah was considering the interests of the church, there was no reason for her to protect this tavern because it was a demon's lair.
However, Messiah's faith wasn't in the interests of the church, but in the gods themselves and the good deeds described in the scriptures.
