The next day, in the church built by the Kingdom of Saints in Noland.
"I think this is wrong."
Messiah sat on a bench in the church hall. In front of her was the statue of Monika, the God of Light and Justice. It was a peaceful but dignified god.
It was because of his protection that Messiah could live through a difficult childhood and grow up. From the moment Messiah was born, she was destined to dedicate her life to her Lord.
"What … is wrong, Madam Messiah?"
The adjutant carefully cleaned the hall. It wasn't just his superior, the female knight of the Sacred Army, who appeared and disappeared like a shadow. Even the highest authority of this church, Archbishop Desireless, was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that the master and disciple were doing some kind of secret training?
The adjutant didn't dare to make too many guesses.
"Squandering money and indulging in a game made by demons, these are all wrong!"
Messiah recalled what she had done in the past week. From the first time she came into contact with Hearthstone until now, she had almost spent half of her life's savings.
If this continued, if she suddenly got enlightened and decided to get married, she would probably lose all her dowry money.
Under this reflection, the female knight once again realized the mistakes she had made, and she began to think about life. This opportunity was because a Sin Demon had recently appeared in the tavern.
It was still a low-level Succubus and a Chaos Demon that Messiah could accept. The former was too weak to be feared, and the latter was too mysterious. Messiah had no chance to come into contact with them on the battlefield.
But the Sin Demon was different. Messiah had personally participated in the battle against such a powerful demon.
The Sin Fire that they unleashed with a wave of their hands could burn the entire land into charcoal. Each Sin Demon needed to be personally led by a Sacred Army Commander, and even Messiah herself wasn't 100% confident that she could win.
It was such a mobile Scourge that allowed him to openly stay in a densely populated area of Noland.
Once this Sin Devil started to wreak havoc, hundreds of innocent people would die in an instant.
This caused Messiah's conscience to be punished, and he couldn't even calm down when he was forging Hearthstones.
"With the approval of Archbishop Desireless, I've already written a letter to the church requesting reinforcements."
In the end, Messiah told his adjutant about his decision.
The demons living in this city were too sinister and cunning. They were even more cunning than the demons she had met before.
"Reinforcements? Even Archbishop Desireless can't solve this problem?"
The adjutant couldn't believe his ears. There were a total of six Red-Robed Archbishops in the Kingdom of Saint. These Cardinals could be said to be the other force apart from the various Corps Commanders of the Holy Army. They were second only to Nolan's Council of Seven.
The Desireless were among the top few Spell Casters in the Holy Kingdom. If it was Noland's Spell Caster Rating, he was a legendary seventh-grade Spell Caster. Several Spell Casters of this grade could completely construct a strategic spell that could affect a war of about a thousand people.
"I think … the situation is already out of control."
It wasn't that his teacher couldn't control it, but that he didn't want to.
Messiah couldn't say this out loud, but with the Desireless's dove style, even Messiah, as his disciple, realized that it was inappropriate.
That Devil was obviously accumulating the power of his Devil Army in Noland.
At the current stage, the Holy Army stationed in Noland couldn't shake that Devil, so Messiah had to send more troops.
She had a hunch that the Devil named Josiah wasn't staying in Noland for a simple 'vacation'. There must be some kind of horrifying plot.
In order to face the upcoming danger, Messiah definitely had to make sufficient preparations in advance.
"Adjutant, continue to distribute the gospel and warn the people of Noland to be aware of the threat of the Devil!"
"Then … what about you, Lord Messiah?"
The adjutant stopped sweeping and looked at Messiah who was fully armed. Messiah wasn't on patrol duty today, but the armor Messiah was wearing didn't look like he was going to rest.
"I'll continue to monitor the movements of the Devils in the tavern."
After saying that, she tidied up her armor and used a piece of cloth to hide the sword in her hand. Then, she resolutely left the church, leaving the adjutant looking at her back as if she was facing death with equanimity.
Those who didn't know the situation would think that the female knight was going to some kind of never-ending battlefield.
Unfortunately, the aide-de-camp could roughly guess where his boss was going.
He was a smart man and knew that the Devil's temptation couldn't be solved by sending more Holy Army troops because it had no side effects.
The adjutant took out a letter from his missionary robe. It was a letter with a layer of white thorns on the surface.
It was given to him by a plainly dressed boy when the adjutant was distributing the Gospel this morning.
The adjutant had been in Noland for many years, so he knew that the boy was employed by someone, but he didn't know who it was.
He opened the letter and read it briefly. The general content was, 'You're very lucky to have the opportunity to see Belle and the Devil Prince at the White Thorn Theatre tomorrow.'
The God of Light and Justice above! The moment the adjutant saw the letter, he had the urge to throw it into the fire and burn it.
In his eyes, this letter was an invitation from the Devil. If he fulfilled the Devil's request and went to the performance, it would be an act of betrayal.
But a strange force drove him to leave the letter.
Perhaps deep in his heart, he really wanted to see the actors of 'Beauty and the Devil'.
But his teachings did not allow him to accept the invitation from the Devil.
Thus, the creed he believed in clashed with the instinctive desires of a human being in the mind of the young clergyman.
Not only him, but thousands of invitations from the White Thorn Theatre began to spread throughout Noland.
The people who received the invitations included people from Noland and people from other countries.
The largest theatre in the White Thorn Theatre could only accommodate about 3,000 people, so it was impossible to invite all the fans of 'Beauty and the Devil'.
At that moment, the young missionary realized how precious the letter was.
In any case, he had already decided to give his life to the God he believed in, and this was the only chance in his life to see Belle with his own eyes.
