As time passed, Desireless ended his meeting with his old friend.
Hundreds of owls rested in a side hall of the Crystal Palace. They were the messengers reared by the Owl Pen Club.
Desireless found it hard to imagine that the pen club that he established on a whim with a few like-minded friends would develop to such a scale in Noland.
But compared to the Owl Pen Club, Desireless's visit to Nolan this time was to obtain more new knowledge.
What surprised Desireless was that not long after he arrived in Noland, he found knowledge that he was obsessed with in a magical machine unique to a tavern.
This obsession was knowledge that he couldn't understand at all. Desireless devoted himself to deciphering the principles of 'Hearthstone', but in the end, he had no clue.
"Karle, stop joking. There's no Inscription Sequence in this world that I can't understand!"
A grey-robed old man standing beside Desireless scoffed at the 'new Inscription Sequence' that Desireless described.
"Don't be too confident in your knowledge, Rourke … If you don't believe me, perhaps I can bring you to see that magical machine."
Desireless was once like this grey-robed old man. As a group of people who stood at the top of this world, their attainments in magic had long reached a level that ordinary people couldn't reach.
With such profound knowledge, no matter who it was, they would look at the works of the younger generation with a haughty gaze.
However, Desireless's haughtiness had long been worn down by the Inscription Sequence that was so complicated that even he found it to be a little complicated.
"Alright, I'm not interested in the display of those white mages' magical machines anyway."
He took out a few earthworm-like bugs from his long sleeves and fed them to the owl perched on his shoulder.
"Follow me."
Desireless walked towards the exhibition hall of the Crystal Palace with his walking stick. When he stepped into the hall, his third eye sensed the presence of the Chaos Devil.
Even so, the Desireless One continued to monitor the Chaos demon instead of interfering and attempting to banish it. Unfortunately for him, his disciple encountered the demon as well and gathered all the sacred troops present.
This was a situation that the Selfless did not wish to see. Rashly starting a conflict in the Crystal Palace or carrying out any aggressive actions could bring about a negative impact to their country.
At this moment, the Desireless One realized that he should deal with this matter personally, lest the young and energetic Holy Army caused a huge diplomatic problem for the Kingdom of Saint after capturing the devil.
Following the guidance of his third eye, he quickly brought his old friend to Falosi's exhibition hall.
What surprised and rejoiced at the same time was that his disciple was actually staying with that demon obediently. Furthermore … he seemed to be very happy?
"Use this … no … this one."
Messiah fell into deep thought. The one sitting opposite her wasn't Josiah, but Herland.
Josiah won Messiah's round without any suspense. Then, Josiah gave her seat to Herland who had been watching from the side.
With Josiah's deck of cards, even a newbie like Herland could put Messiah in a tough battle.
On one hand, she was wondering when her two unreliable colleagues would arrive. On the other hand, she was unwilling to lose to a newbie who had just played a round because of the young Hearthstone player's reputation.
However, Messiah's thoughts were quickly interrupted because she saw her teacher appearing at the entrance of Falosi's exhibition hall!
Not only Messiah, but Herland, who was sitting opposite Messiah, was also interrupted by the appearance of the figure.
Gray Cloak Rursk!
Herland couldn't be mistaken. He was the principal of the advanced magic academy she studied in. It could be said that he stood at the top of the ladder of Noland's spellcasters and was an incredible figure.
Thus, Messiah and Herland tacitly stood up at the same time and cautiously watched the two elders enter the Falosi exhibition hall.
Their purpose here obviously wasn't to admire Falosi's famous paintings and sculptures.
"Miss Knight, if you don't act now, your turn will be forcefully ended."
Josiah said kindly to Messiah who instantly stood up straight.
This … was the second time Messiah was caught by the archbishop playing games with the devil alone! Even Messiah began to suspect that she was in cahoots with the devil.
"Don't be so reserved."
The reply Selfless gave to Messiah was still the same three words, as if he had forgiven Messiah's series of mistakes.
The gray cloak elder was even more direct. He didn't know Herland and Hiri, but he knew Josiah … Previously, Josiah's camera patent was reviewed by him.
He had a deep impression of this black-haired, black-eyed young man, especially when Josiah showed him the 'chat window', which allowed him to see the future of the Owl Pen Club.
Unfortunately, the almost limitless crystal Josiah asked for was a bit too much. Perhaps even a lion couldn't satisfy Josiah's appetite. Perhaps a dozen dragons would be more appropriate to describe it.
Noland did indeed have such a limitless crystal, which was the core of Noland. Without this crystal, the magic barrier that had been protecting Noland would completely lose its effect.
This was fatal to the city, so even if the Owl Pen Club was in danger of disbanding, he couldn't give this crystal to Josiah.
And now, this young man seemed to have brought a magical machine.
"Lord Archbishop …"
Although Selfless's eyes were covered by a tattered linen cloth, Messiah could still feel that Selfless was here for the "Hearthstone" and not to capture the devil, so Messiah prepared to give up his position to Selfless.
Herland also wanted to give up her position. After all, Rursk was the dean of the college she studied in, and there were also rumors that Rursk was a member of the legendary Council of Seven of Noland!
"Don't worry, your game isn't over yet."
Josiah stopped Messiah and Herland from giving up their right to play.
"But … Mr. Josiah!"
Herland was eager to tell Josiah the identity of the grey-robed elder.
"It's fine, little girl, we'll just watch from the side."
Selfless shook her head lightly, indicating that she had no intention of participating. After hearing the Archbishop's words, Messiah was slightly stunned, but in the end, he could only return to his original position.
However, Messiah's entire body was tense, far more nervous than when facing the Chaos Devil Josiah.
She didn't dare to relax at all. After all, her immediate superior was watching from the side!
