Messiah put on the knight armor that represented the Holy Army again. She put on the arm guard forged from steel. There was an emblem of a flag and a blade on the arm guard. This emblem used to be her proof of identity.
But now … this emblem was useless.
This was a room in the core area of the Holy City. It was said that even the most famous archbishop couldn't step into this room. Only Saintess Heroria and her chosen servants could move around here.
Messiah was honored to become one of Heroria's servants, but what made Messiah happy was that … she survived.
When Messiah first came to the Holy City, she was prepared to be sent to the execution platform for trial. At worst, she would be sent to the snow-covered territory.
But now, she could still stay in the Holy City. It was a pity that she could never return to Noland.
Messiah covered her forehead and tried her best not to recall her memories in Noland.
That was the dwelling place of demons, a city that almost made her fall. Especially the game 'Hearthstone' … She calmed down and thought about it. It had cost her a lot of money and energy.
I have to get rid of this while I live in the Holy City …
Although Messiah kept reminding herself in her heart, she subconsciously opened the magic net. Another message from Shirley popped up on the magic net interface.
Hey! Are you still alive? If you were brought to the underground torture room of the Heretics Court, there should be a key hidden under the floor tile a few meters to the left of the door!
Missa didn't know how she could receive messages from Nolan even though she was in the Holy City, but she was concerned about Nolan. Even though they were enemies, Missa still replied to Cheryl's message in a very brief manner.
I'm fine.
Not long after this message was sent, the door of the room was pushed open. This made Messiah immediately turn off the magic net and look at the door.
Saintess Heroria walked into the room without any attendants or nuns. She was alone.
"I heard that you've been stationed in Noland for more than two months since the start of the World Expo?"
"Yes."
Messiah was full of doubts about why Heroria would save him, but at this moment, Messiah chose to suppress these doubts in his heart and answer Heroria's question first.
"Then … do you miss Noland?"
Heroria's next question made Messiah choke.
Rationality reminded Messiah that he should have cherished the opportunity given by the Saintess, Heroria, and stayed in the Holy City to protect Heroria.
But in the depths of her heart, there was always a voice that kept reminding her, 'If you don't go back and open one or two new card packs, your card deck will be completely eliminated.'
At this moment, Messiah finally understood what the so-called Devil's Whisper was all about. This temptation was not an illusion.
Messiah heard a certain voice in his mind. Messiah immediately opened the magic net and found that it was a message from Cheryl. The voice she heard was a message notification.
You're fine? Then can you find a way to escape? Although the Country of Saints is a little far from Noland, it's better than staying in the Holy City, that boring place. Also, I have no use for the inheritance you left me. I'll save it to buy you a card pack.
After reading this message, Messiah really wanted to type a reply with both hands and tell her, 'No need, thank you.'
But Heroria had already slowly walked in front of Messiah. If she suddenly reached out and tapped in mid-air, it would definitely make Heroria suspicious.
"Answer me, Messiah."
Heroria walked in front of Messiah. She was a head shorter than Messiah, but Messiah knew that this Saintess might be even older than his grandmother … Although Messiah, who lived in an orphanage established by the church, did not even know who his mother and father were.
The words' I'm very curious' were written in Heroria's blue eyes. Under pressure, Messiah gave a pertinent answer.
"It's more interesting than I thought."
Messiah did not know why Heroria was so curious about life in Noland, but she could not describe everything she experienced in Noland with just a few words.
At this moment, Messiah remembered the raw crystal that the adjutant had asked her to pass to the Saintess.
"Lady Heroria, my adjutant hopes to pass this to you."
Messiah took out the raw crystal that she had hidden from the start and handed it to Heroria. This raw crystal that carried the magic net was strictly a creation of the demons.
However, it was not dangerous. She would sometimes use the weapons that the demons dropped on the battlefield.
"I did not expect that young missionary to be your adjutant, but it does not matter."
Heroria took the raw crystal from Messiah's hand and looked at it for a long time.
"Lady Saintess, I want to remind you that this raw crystal is actually made by …"
"The demons made it, right?"
Messiah wanted to tell her the true identity of the magic net's creator, but Heroria spoke first.
"Yes …" Messiah nodded.
In Messiah's impression, as the person closest to the gods, Heroria should have great hatred or disgust for the demons, but in reality, she did not …
"But this raw crystal is carved with Order Inscriptions, not the chaotic magic of the demons."
Heroria injected magic into it, and the raw crystal emitted a pure white light. The inscriptions carved in the raw crystal kept overflowing on the surface.
Magic began to gather towards Heroria …
Heroria crushed the raw crystal in her hand, and a large number of inscriptions turned into light and flowed into her body. She tried to understand the principles of the magic net, but the terrifying number of inscriptions made Heroria give up on the idea.
"This is the magic net?"
Herolia looked at the interface that appeared in her vision. There were only three special icons on the blank desktop. After the adjutant's demonstration, Herolia immediately reached out her fingertips and clicked on the icon of the spell casters' forum.
The interface of the spellcaster forum appeared in front of her, but she did not join this new world as she wished. Instead, a cold notification rejected her.
"Network connection lost …"
Network … connection?
Heroria pondered over the meaning of this notification. After she clicked confirm, the interface of the spellcaster forum was blank. It was completely different from what the aide had shown her.
At this moment, a ball of light appeared on Heroria's shoulder. This ball of light was some kind of life form. It stayed on Heroria's shoulder for a moment, as if it was whispering to Heroria.
The next second, as if to confirm something, Heroria suddenly grabbed Messiah's hand.
"Lady Heroria …?"
"As expected, it was caused by the World Tree?"
