He was going to win.
This was the first time Messiah felt that victory was within his grasp ever since he played against this damned demon.
Gul 'dan's life force was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time. She only needed two more rounds to defeat this damned demon!
Then, he would prove to everyone in the tavern how powerful the Paladin class was!
The cheers of victory did not make Messiah forget her surroundings. She heard an old and familiar voice.
"Messiah, it's time to leave this place."
Hearing the voice, Misai instantly stood up from her seat and turned around. Soon, she spotted a skinny figure among the dwarves who were watching from the side.
The Desireless One was too conspicuous among the group of strong dwarves, like a half-broken bamboo in a pile of water buckets.
However, Messiah did not dare to underestimate this skinny figure, because this was her teacher, and also one of the few archbishops in the Country of Saint … Desireless.
What Messiah respected the most was that the archbishop had participated in several battles against the demons. The number of Holy Army soldiers he had saved could fill up a three-meter tall monument of heroes.
"Desireless … Archbishop."
Messiah immediately placed his right hand on his left shoulder to show his respect to the legendary archbishop.
"Let's skip the tedious formalities. We should leave this place."
He didn't know if that devil had the patience to listen to him.
According to the Kingdom of Saint's research on the demon race, every powerful demon was a creature with a strong sense of territory. A clergyman appearing in the demon's territory was undoubtedly a provocation.
If that Chaos Devil loses his patience … The Desireless believed that it would be a disaster for the people of Noland. A great disaster.
"This … But … Lord Bishop."
Messiah glanced at the Hearthstone table behind her. It was her turn now.
She had the absolute advantage in this round. As long as she continued, she would definitely be able to kill that damn demon!
She had prepared for this Paladin victory for a long time. Whether it was money or time, she had bet everything on this victory.
But when victory was so close at hand, he chose to leave and give up this victory that was so easily won?
Messiah was very unwilling, but when this feeling of unwillingness appeared, Messiah suddenly realized what he was doing.
Just because of a card game, he disobeyed his mentor.
"Messiah, can you tell me what you're doing?"
Desireless didn't expect the knight who had the strongest faith in the Holy Army to stay in a place like the tavern. Not only did he stay, but he also enjoyed it to the extent that he didn't want to leave.
With Messiah's personality, he should not be able to adapt to the noisy environment of the tavern.
This aroused the curiosity that had disappeared for almost a decade, and he asked his disciple.
"For … for the glory of the Sacred Army."
This was not a lie! Messiah repeated it countless times in her heart. She swore on her life that everything she did was for the glory of the Holy Army and the Lord.
This victory did not only give her a tenth of the card box shard, but it also made the Dwarves look at the Paladin class in a new light. Also, that demon would die under her sword!
"Lord Bishop, please give me some time. I … will defeat that demon soon!"
Messiah glanced at the screen on the Hearthstone table. Her character had entered the 'Burning the Rope' stage. Every player only had one minute to think in each round. Burning the rope meant that Messiah only had 15 seconds left!
If she didn't do it now, she would enter the world controlled by that demon and lose again.
"Although I don't know why you're so anxious, I'll give you time."
Desireless glanced at the opponent opposite Messiah. It was indeed a demon, but it was the lowest level succubus, a low-level demon that would not be seen even on the battlefield.
He didn't know how powerful this demon was to give his proudest disciple such a headache, but Desireless still allowed Messiah's willful request because … the magic machine also successfully attracted Desireless's attention.
"Thank you, Lord Bishop."
With permission, Messiah immediately sat down again, completed a series of operations, and pressed the button to end the round.
Ino seemed a little reserved. He could feel a dangerous aura from the old man, a bit like when he faced the Venerated Skeleton in the castle, as if he could kill him with a glance.
"Ino, I think after this round, you should also complete the homework assigned by the mentor in the academy."
Messiah's parent appeared, and Ino's parent, Marina, also came behind Ino. Marina's hand touched Ino's back, giving him a little courage.
Ever since the arrival of the Holy Army, Marina knew Ino's true race … demon.
After learning this, Marina took care of the tavern as usual, doing all kinds of bill calculations, and helping Josiah manage the expenditure and income of funds.
Perhaps in this businesswoman's opinion, as long as she could maintain her current life, it didn't matter even if it was given by the demon.
The parents of both sides had entered the arena, and Messiah and Ino began the final battle.
Finally, Messiah used her character, Uther, to shout, "Accept the punishment of justice!" After this line, her hero character personally came into the arena and directly beheaded the abominable demon opposite her!
The moment the opponent's character shattered into pieces, Messiah wanted to shout, "The Holy Army will never be slaves."
But considering that the mentor behind her was still there, she suppressed this impulse and maintained the seriousness that the Holy Army should have.
"Let's go, Lord Bishop." Messiah stood up and said to the Desireless behind her.
Then, just as she was about to squeeze through the crowd of dwarves and leave, she realized that the Archbishop behind her was standing there in deep thought.
"Lord … Bishop?"
Messiah tried to call out again, hoping to get him to come back to his senses.
"Messiah … What is this magical machine? No … The principle of this thing is' refraction 'inscription? That's not right … There's no reason for the image to move, and there's also the growing crystal symbol. "
The Desireless used his withered hand to touch the old bandage on his forehead. He was using his' third eye 'to sense the surroundings.
Although he didn't have vision, the Desireless obtained much more information than those with eyes. For example, this Hearthstone street machine, apart from the image itself, there was also a large number of inscriptions behind the image, to the extent that the Desireless was a little dizzy.
But what really attracted him was the moving and manipulated image itself.
"This … is called Hearthstone, Lord Bishop."
Why did Messiah feel that the scene in front of him was a little familiar?
After living for so many years, the only desire the Desireless had was the desire for knowledge. Like many spellcasters, he always had a strong interest in new things.
The most advanced magical machine in this world was, of course, Noland's magical machines. But now, the Desireless seemed to have seen something that was hundreds, no … tens of millions of times more complicated than the magical machines created by spellcasters.
"Hearthstone? That's the name of this magical machine. "
The Desireless repeated the name, but he quickly came to his senses.
"Leave this place, your comrades are waiting outside."
The Desireless who wasn't dominated by curiosity quickly walked out of the tavern with his cane because this was the territory of demons, and the clergy shouldn't stay here.
From the moment they left the tavern, it was destined that a silent war would break out between Noland.
"Take care."
Josiah watched the backs of Messiah and the Desireless as they left. He walked to the side of the magical machine that they were playing with and removed a primordial crystal that looked like a decoration.
"What's this?" Hiri looked at Josiah's expression and knew that Josiah definitely didn't have any good intentions.
"A recording of the match."
Josiah injected some mana into it, and the scene of the battle between Messiah and Ino was instantly displayed on the primordial crystal.
"What's the use of recording this … You should get those banshees to go to the church and record the shameless acts of the Sacred Army. They'll definitely smear your name and this tavern everywhere in Noland. We might as well … Might as well strike first!"
Hiri had seen the shameless acts of the Sacred Army during her 'travel'. After they knew Josiah's identity as a demon, they would definitely spread the news in Noland.
"Calm down, I'll definitely think of a way to control the public opinion. But before that, I need some solid evidence, right?"
Josiah looked at the female mage. Why did he feel like he was being slandered by the Sacred Army? Why was Hiri even angrier than him?
