Messiah stood at the side, waiting for Shirley to finish her work.
But not long after Shirley sold her books, a few people dressed in different attire came to the library.
They didn't seem to be spellcasters, and they couldn't possibly be students of this academy.
They came all the way to this magic academy just to buy Cheryl's diary?
"I didn't expect Miss Sktan to be so … young."
"Didn't she finish the 723rd day of the diary? Miss Sktan's body stopped growing after she became an Inquisitor. "
The two readers, who looked like merchants, were also very surprised by Cheryl's young appearance. But it seemed that they were indeed loyal readers of Cheryl, and they remembered some of the details in the diary clearly.
When Messiah heard the two merchants mention the word 'Inquisitor', she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Messiah knew that Shirley had recorded her diary in the Immovable Library, but anyone could hide their identity on the Mana Net.
She took the initiative to sit here, which meant that she had revealed her identity as an Inquisitor to all users of the Mana Net.
At this moment, Messiah gripped her dagger tightly and stared at every reader who talked to Shirley.
She couldn't be sure if there were people who wanted to take revenge on the Inquisitor among them.
"Relax, Lady Knight. This is Noland's library."
A familiar voice sounded behind Messiah. Messiah turned around and saw the most dangerous person in the library!
"Why … are you here?"
Messiah stared at Josiah as she approached. Ever since she adapted to the environment of the Hearthstone Tavern, her allergy towards demons had been alleviated.
At the very least, Messiah wouldn't draw her dagger to 'purify' the demon when she saw Josiah.
However, Messiah was still vigilant against this dangerous Chaos demon.
She waved her hand to signal her subordinates not to interfere in this matter, while Josiah came to Messiah's side.
"Because I'm the one who organized this signing event, and one of the nuns is my contractor."
Josiah sized up the young female knight again.
During these fifteen days, Josiah often saw the female knight in the Hearthstone Tavern. Her personality was much more reserved than before.
"Contestant?"
When Messiah heard this word, his whole body tensed up!
Forming a contract with a demon was one of the most serious crimes of the Kingdom of Saint!
"Yes, it's called a contract where if I don't update the diary with new content every day, the readers will urge me to update."
Josiah's next sentence stunned Messiah for a moment.
The female knight gazed at Cheryl in the distance.
Unknowingly, a long line had formed in front of the long table. People from all over Noland visited this library just to buy a copy of Cheryl's diary.
This scene made Messiah quickly understand what Josiah meant by the contract …
"I heard your conversation with Cheryl just now. You seem to be planning to bring her back to the holy city?" Josiah asked.
"Are you going to stop me?"
Although Messiah wasn't afraid of Josiah, if Josiah tried to stop him, this mission would basically be declared a failure.
"I can't stop you. After all, I didn't restrict the nun's freedom. I can't decide where she wants to stay." Josiah smiled and looked at the female knight beside him. "But what reason do you have for her to return to the holy city?"
Josiah's question was also what troubled Messiah.
The 'safe life' promised by Saintess Heroria could be easily obtained in Noland.
The only things that could attract the judge back to the holy city were 'status' and 'money'.
Messiah counted with her fingers and thought of two factors for a successful recruitment.
As for status … She lifted her head and looked at Cheryl in the distance.
"Miss Schetan, can you take a photo with the readers? This is part of the news material."
"Eh? I … Can I appear on the Voice of Noland's daytime news? Of course, that's not a problem. "
Cheryl was talking to a Goblin. This Goblin was completely different from the Goblins that lived in the sewers and underground caves.
At least he was dressed neatly and wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses.
With the Goblin's suggestion, Cheryl took a photo with a few readers who came from afar.
Messiah, who had been watching from the side, could tell that Cheryl enjoyed this … The feeling of her work being praised by the readers and the author being liked by the readers.
In the holy city, Cheryl could only play the role of an assassin lurking in the shadows.
It was impossible to be worshipped by others, and also impossible to be admired by others.
As for money …
"When did … it become so much?" Messiah looked at the wooden box beside Cheryl. That box was used to collect the money from selling books.
The Diary of the Heretic Inquisitor was sold at the price of one silver coin. At this moment, Cheryl's money box was filled with silver coins.
It was also worth mentioning that Sister Dinessa's wooden chest was completely overflowing.
"I estimate that we've sold around 300 books. That's barely a result." Josiah said, "But the signing event isn't over yet. The price of the copyright is 5,000 Noland gold."
If Josiah remembered correctly, the currency of the Kingdom of Saints and Noland was in circulation. In fact, Noland's currency was common in all countries.
5,000?
Hearing this terrifying number, Messiah had the urge to ask Cheryl what she meant when she said she was so poor that she had to eat dirt!
One had to know that when Messiah was the assistant of the Sacred Army's army leader, he could only use around 20 gold coins per month. The few hundred gold coins that he had painstakingly saved up for half a year were used as dowry.
No way …
Messiah couldn't think of any reason to let Cheryl return to the holy city with him.
"Are you interested in these things?" Josiah read Messiah's distress from her conflicted expression.
This female knight tried her best to hide her inner thoughts from Josiah, but her skills in this aspect were too poor. Anyone could see what she was thinking from Messiah's expression.
"I'm … not interested."
Messiah maintained her stance in front of Josiah.
"It's time for my lesson. Actually, if you're interested, I can teach you."
Josiah glanced at the round sphere above the library. This sphere was said to be one of the relics from the underground ruins. Its specific function was to accurately calculate time.
The hand on the sphere was already pointing at 3 pm.
"Lesson?"
This word sounded fine, but coming from Josiah's mouth, Messiah felt a little terrified.
What was the content of a Chaos Demon's lesson?
