In order to explain to the watcher why Noland's Spellcasters and Paladins were willing to come to this tavern and stay there for an entire day.
Josiah had two rounds of Hearthstone duels with her in his study.
"The Paladins came to this tavern to … play this card game?"
Pester's fingertips swept across the cards in her hand. Her deck was provided by Josiah. Due to their similar class and temperament, Pester chose Valeera the Lurker as her deck.
"That's right."
Josiah waved his hand, and a Mage card, Fireball, appeared in Josiah's hand.
Over the past two months, Josh had made some minor changes to Hearthstone's Arcade Machine. He had made it so that he could now hold the cards in his hand in his hand.
When he needed to use that card, he could directly tap it. Josiah touched the "Fireball" card, and the card turned into fragments made of inscriptions. A target's mark appeared on the table below.
Josiah chose Valeera the Lurker, who only had 6 HP left.
The Fireball was directly released by Jaina, the Heroic Mage controlled by Josiah. Valeera the Lurker was directly blown into pieces after being hit by the fireball.
"The executioner of the church is actually so passionate about this game."
Pester was a little discouraged by the two consecutive losses, and it was the kind where she was completely crushed by Josiah. This made her gaming experience very poor.
She had never come into contact with 'video games' before, nor did she have such a concept.
For her, the only entertainment she had was to be with Her Highness Cersei whom she respected, or to chase down cornered prey and watch them gradually fall into despair.
"Do you want another round?"
Josiah did not answer the watcher's question. He only pressed the button to continue, and quietly waited for the watcher to agree.
She seemed to be the competitive type, and from Pester's point of view, her previous two losses were due to her lack of familiarity with the game.
But after two rounds of experience, she basically understood the rules of this game that couldn't be any simpler.
"Again."
Although Pester said that she couldn't understand the fun of this game, she was not willing to lose to Josiah so badly. At least she had to clear the humiliation of being 'trampled' by Josiah's mages!
"Please."
Just like that, Josiah and Pester started the third round. This Miss Watcher was quite talented in games.
Even if she had a little bit of resistance, she was still just a beginner.
Oh no …
On the tenth round, Josiah drew another card and successfully drew a Flame Blast that dealt 10 damage. Pester's Valeera the Lurker only had 10 HP left.
Josh had originally planned to go easy on Pester and let her win this round. That way, she would have a better gaming experience so that she wouldn't lose her confidence after being tortured so badly.
But Josiah still underestimated his luck today. Three consecutive rounds were unbelievably smooth. If it wasn't for Josiah letting her win this round, she would have already died in the fifth round.
"Your Highness Josiah, anyone's pity is an insult to me."
Pester's Valeera the Lurker's HP was slowly decreasing, and she was on the verge of death. This made her feel a rare sense of nervousness.
She hadn't felt this way for a long time. Since the last round, she had been focusing on every card that Josiah drew.
With Valeera the Lurker's current low HP, as long as Josh managed to draw a card that could deal damage to her, she would be declared the loser of this round.
And on the tenth round, when she looked at Josiah from behind her mask, Pester saw a hint of hesitation in Josiah's eyes.
It was obvious that Josiah had drawn a card that dealt critical damage, but Josiah didn't seem to want to use it. He just wanted her to win this round.
But Pester never wanted to accept a victory that came out of charity.
"Is that so? Then I'm sorry. "
Josiah didn't continue to hold back after his thoughts were seen through by this Watcher. He directly threw a Flame Blast card that dealt 10 damage at the face of Pester's Champion.
When Pester was defeated for the third time, Josiah saw her shoulders tremble slightly. Perhaps it was because she was unwilling to accept her defeat.
"Please … another round."
Pester's voice sounded very calm. She hid her inner thoughts very well.
"Unfortunately, I don't have time to waste anymore, Miss Watcher."
Josiah pointed at the magic clock on the wall behind him.
Pester, who had lived in the human world for a period of time, could naturally understand human time.
During the Hearthstone duel with Josiah, Pester thought that only 10 minutes had passed, but the clock on the wall told her that an entire hour had passed.
"I can understand why this tavern is so attractive."
Pester didn't think that the game of Hearthstone was very interesting, but the sense of achievement from defeating someone in this game was something she wanted more.
Just like when she was hunting, she didn't enjoy killing her prey, but enjoyed something else, such as the cries of her prey.
"But this can't be a reason for the church to accept us. Your Highness Josiah … you are still in danger."
"I know, but I don't plan on going back in the near future, and I have no intention of giving up on this tavern."
Josiah handed a freshly written letter to Pester.
"Give this letter to my sister. But I hope that you can stay in the tavern for a while before you leave. I also have two things that I hope you can bring back to my sister. This way, the chances of convincing her will be higher."
"… …"
Pester accepted Josiah's letter. If she brought this letter back, it would be the same as announcing that her mission had failed.
But there were undead wandering around the entire study, so Pester didn't dare to use any forceful methods to bring this Demon Prince back to the Demon Realm.
And this letter from Josiah was equivalent to asking her to leave. Normally, Josiah didn't mind spending time on Hearthstone, but Pluck had been waiting for too long.
"Understood."
Pester put away the letter and walked to the door of the study.
"Aren't you going to take your deck with you? Some of the cards inside aren't easy to obtain. " The deck Josiah gave Pester was not a beginner's card box. There were several legendary cards inside.
