Legendary! Legendary! Tirion Fordring!
Messiah didn't know what was wrong with her recently. She had always been thrifty, spending no more than ten gold coins a month, but she had spent more than two hundred gold coins in the last two days.
If these gold coins were donated to the churches in small towns, they would be able to build a small church in a few remote villages and feed countless children in rags.
It was because of this that Messiah gave all the money she had saved over the years to the church for safekeeping.
But in just two days, she had spent so many gold coins. In the past, this would have been a sin for her, a sign of extravagance and squandering.
But as long as Messiah thought that this was necessary to defeat the demons, Messiah successfully convinced herself and kept stuffing gold coins into the demonic machine!
This female knight put in three coins and bought the eightieth pack of hearthstone cards in her life. However, the five cards inside were all ordinary cards of ordinary quality.
Messiah saw a dwarf get a Legendary Paladin card called 'Tirion Fordring' yesterday. It was a card that was ridiculously powerful both in terms of effect and skill.
She did not see this Legendary Paladin card even after eighty packs, but Messiah got two Legendary Cards of other classes.
But the Sacred Army Knight wasn't discouraged. She challenged Ino once again.
Josiah sat behind the bar and watched the battle between Messiah and Ino.
Over the past two days, the figure in the nun's robe had become a common sight in the tavern.
She seemed to have forgotten that her real purpose in coming to the tavern was to 'punish the demons' and not to 'play cards with them'.
This development was what Josiah wanted to see. If the other Paladins could settle their grudges with a card battle like this female knight did.
Perhaps the death rate of the Holy Army and the demons on the battlefield would plummet.
Josiah was wondering if Messiah would turn the tables and prove her glory as a Sacred Army soldier, or if Eno would win the 172nd victory of his life.
A skinny old man walked into the tavern with a walking stick. This old man's presence should have been insignificant in the noisy tavern.
But Josiah felt his presence immediately. Whether it was Josiah as a Chaos Demon or the imprint of the Venerated Skeleton on Josiah's left hand, it reminded Josiah that he was dangerous.
"Hiri, go upstairs with Marina."
It was too late for Josiah to remind Ino. He could only ask Hiri, who was behind him, to leave.
"Why?"
Hiri's question was answered when she saw Josiah's expressionless face.
"You underestimate me too much."
Hiri followed Josiah's gaze and glanced at the old man who walked in from the door. She took out her staff that could be used as a spear and was ready to fight.
"…"
The mage lady behind him refused to leave, which surprised Josiah. Josiah had already reminded Hiri with his tone that what would happen next might be dangerous.
Since Hiri chose to stay, Josiah could only stand a little further away from Marina, hoping that the battle that might happen next would not affect these ordinary people.
The old man did come for Josiah. He walked all the way to the bar with his walking stick, then climbed up to the seat of the bar with difficulty and put the walking stick on the table.
"Is there anything … you need?"
Josiah's pitch-black pupils stared at the old man. No matter how old the person in front of him looked, Josiah did not dare to take it lightly.
"I … am the Archbishop of the Kingdom of Saint. You can call me Desireless."
His voice sounded very slow, so slow that it made people anxious.
"Josiah."
Josiah told him his name. At the same time, he began to gather mana in his hands, ready for battle.
"Although I know this request is a little abrupt, can you please let go of my disciple, Chaos Demon Josiah?"
Desireless recognized Josiah's identity. He also had a 'third eye', which was even powerful enough to replace Desireless's vision.
It was because of this powerful eye that the Desireless One could see what was behind Josh. Not only was he a Chaos Demon, who was at the top of the Demon Race's food chain, but there was also a kind of … death aura that made him feel suffocated.
Desireless swore that he had only felt such a strong death aura once in his life, and that was during the Falosi Holy War hundreds of years ago, when that terrifying Lich was born.
"This is my plea."
Desireless lowered his head and said to Josiah without the posture of an Archbishop.
"…"
At this time, Josiah and Hiri looked at each other and could see the emotion called 'doubt' in each other's eyes.
Hiri's magic was already ready, and she was waiting for the dwarves next to her to chase this troublemaker out together. However, this Desireless was not here to cause trouble, but to plead for mercy.
"I think you've misunderstood something, old sir."
Josiah found that this Archbishop did not have some of the qualities that a superior should have at all. He was arrogant, unreasonable, and would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
He was more like those Indian ascetics, humble but cherishing all living beings. In order to save a life, he could completely put down things like his dignity … Perhaps this was the so-called saint?
"Misunderstood?"
Desireless raised his head and looked at the young demon in front of him. He had encountered countless demons in his early years, and the Chaos Demon was undoubtedly the most terrifying among the demons.
When Desireless entered this city, his' third eye 'immediately felt the aura of the Chaos Demon. When he learned that his most proud disciple, Messiah, was in the same place as this demon, he had already prepared for the worst.
Perhaps his disciple had already been killed by this demon before he arrived, or suffered cruel torture by this demon. In any case, any clergy that fell into the hands of a demon would not have a good ending.
"Your disciple, I think she is that lady knight. She is now staying here as a guest. I have never imprisoned her."
Josiah could see that Desireless was ready to start a war after the negotiation failed. There were already Sacred Army troops waiting outside, and he only came in hoping that no one would get hurt.
"Then I must take her away."
This was the territory of the demons, and also the lair of a Chaos Demon, so Desireless had no reason to stay for too long.
After knowing that Josiah had no intention of starting a war, he immediately stood up from the bar and walked to the table where Messiah was sitting.
"Go ahead."
When he saw Soulless walking toward Misa, who was happily playing Hearthstone in the tavern's main hall, Josh was suddenly reminded of the scene on Earth when he used to skip classes to go to an illegal internet cafe and his parents would come to arrest him.
