"Noland is a nice city."
In a tavern called 'Blackstone and Roast', a female knight in silver armor put down the wooden cup in her hand.
Her name was Messiah, which was the same name as the Kingdom of the Holy Church. This did not mean that her identity was extraordinary, but the nun who took her in hoped that the name given by the 'God of Light and Justice' would protect her from the pain of illness and weakness.
She firmly believed that the prayers of the nun who raised her had been answered by the gods. She had been weak and sickly since she was young and was abandoned in the wilderness. Not only that, she even became an honorable member of the Sacred Army when she became an adult.
"So, why did you bring me to a tavern like this?"
Messiah swirled the ale in the wooden cup. She did not like to drink as it would make her delirious. She needed to keep her mind clear at all times to remember what her faith was.
"Lord Messiah, we are now missionaries, not Holy Knights. The spellcasters in Noland are too stubborn, and it's hard for us to get them to listen to our teachings."
The person who spoke was Messiah's adjutant. He was wearing a white robe and looked very young. He glanced at the scenery behind him. It would be a compliment to say that it was noisy. It should be called chaotic.
More than 80% of the customers in this tavern were dwarves. They came to the tavern every night as if they were having a party. No wonder Messiah, who always liked peace and quiet, hated this kind of atmosphere.
"Also, I always thought that Lord Messiah liked older men."
The adjutant looked at the Holy Knight beside him. He had not been Messiah's adjutant for long, but he heard that this unmarried female knight who was nearing the age of 25 was more interested in older men, although he did not know where this strange rumor came from.
"Adjutant, if you make this kind of silly joke again, I think I can let you return to the side of the Lord as soon as possible to repent," Messiah said.
"My apologies, Lord Messiah."
The adjutant realized that the personality of the master he followed this time was not as approachable as her appearance.
"You should tell me what happened in this city recently. Did my attendant tell me that there is a play promoting demons that is very popular in this city? "
Although Messiah did not have a good impression of this adjutant, he was a missionary of the Holy Kingdom and had stayed in Noland for a long time. He was probably the most familiar with the capital of magic in Noland.
This tavern was the meeting point of the adjutant. In the past, Messiah would never come to such a chaotic place.
"I can't come to a conclusion for now because I haven't had the chance to watch the play. As for the content of the play, it came from the oral accounts and rumors of the people around me."
The aide-de-camp sounded a little ashamed. He was a missionary in name, but he was actually the intelligence collector of the Holy Kingdom in Norland. This was his job, but he had clearly neglected his duties recently.
"You haven't had the chance to see it?"
Messiah did not understand. The Holy Kingdom also had a theater. There had been plays related to demons before, but they only talked about the process of the Holy Kingdom's crusade against the demons.
The tickets to a play in the Holy Kingdom did not cost much. They could be bought at any time. Other than her adjutant being lazy, Messiah could not think of a reason why he did not have the chance to get a ticket.
"That is indeed the case … The tickets for 《Beauty and the Demon》 are too hard to get. I have lined up a few times before the theater opened at six in the morning, but the tickets were still sold out. But the situation should be a lot better in the next few days."
Even the adjutant felt that this situation was very strange. If it was the legendary Black Swan, he could still accept it. The reputation of the Flower of Falosi was too scary, but he heard that the performers of "Beauty and the Demon" were all small characters.
Before Messiah could continue the topic, the door of the tavern was violently pushed open again. This was almost a smashing gesture, causing Messiah and the adjutant to look back at the tavern door at the same time.
"You little brats are all here!"
An old dwarf walked in and used his voice to shock all the dwarves in the tavern.
The young dwarves who were holding their glasses, shouting, and arm wrestling each other to prove that they were the strongest fell silent.
The old dwarf walked into the pile of dwarves and grabbed a dwarf's collar as if he was grabbing a chick.
"Little brats, follow me! Don't waste your energy here! It's time to use your brain! "
With this sentence, most of the dwarves in the tavern didn't dare to speak. They could only put down their glasses and walked out of the tavern together.
There were only a few dwarves and a dozen humans left. The entire tavern instantly became a lot more deserted.
The adjutant knew the old dwarf. His name was Frost Axe, and he was one of the few great elders in the Noland dwarf clan. His authority and status in Noland was only slightly lower than the seven member council in Noland.
"What happened to these dwarves?"
Messiah, who lived in the Holy Kingdom all year round, rarely had contact with these dwarves. She only heard that dwarves could grow beards to their chests at the age of ten.
"I don't know. Maybe something happened in their clan. Anyway, it's not something we can interfere with. Noland spellcasters can't interfere with the internal affairs of the dwarves."
The adjutant shook his head. The dwarves had already formed their own faction in Noland, and the foundation of the entire Noland was built by them.
Even if the great mages of Noland were highly respected in the human world, they had to lower their status in front of the dwarven elders to talk to them.
More than half of the dwarves had left, and the noise in the tavern was no longer heard. The atmosphere of drinking naturally disappeared as well.
However, Messiah didn't like the smell of alcohol in the tavern. She didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Adjutant, find a way to get two tickets for 'Beauty and the Devil' as soon as possible. I suspect that there's a devil behind this stage play. No … there's definitely a devil behind it."
Messiah recalled the poster of 'Beauty and the Devil'. She didn't care how romantic the poster looked. The most important thing was the devil on the poster.
Sin Devil. The moment Messiah saw the devil, she almost put her hand on her sword. This kind of powerful devil could only be fought by the most senior Paladin. Even a senior Paladin like her couldn't face it alone.
No matter how Messiah thought about it, there must be some kind of conspiracy behind it to be able to openly show the portrait of the Sin Devil to the world. It was a conspiracy planned by the demons.
"Archbishop Desireless will visit Noland in a few days. Before that, we must find out where the devils are hiding and what kind of conspiracy they have," said Messiah.
"Lord Desireless …?"
The adjutant was shocked when he heard Messiah say this name. Any citizen of Messiah in the Kingdom of Saint knew about the existence of Desireless.
Rumor had it that this Archbishop was one of the first people chosen by the gods. He obtained immortality and lived from the birth of the Kingdom of Saint until now.
This Archbishop had experienced everything in the world. Whether it was the ugliest desires of human society or the most beautiful things in the world, he had experienced them all to the point of being tired of them.
This was also the reason why this Archbishop was called Desireless. He had tasted all the desires of humans.
In the hearts of any citizen of the Kingdom of Saint, this Archbishop was a legendary saint.
"The archbishop has always been very concerned about magic machines. I hope that there will be something that will interest him in the World Expo this time."
Messiah took out a silver coin and placed it on the table. Then, she stood up from the counter.
"The devils have always been very cunning. They have already infiltrated this city. Adjutant, you must be vigilant."
