Chapter 272: Chapter 272 – People from the Nation of the Holy Church
Priest Darco is a faithful devotee of the Saintess Herolia. He became her follower back when he was still a young missionary.
It was a feeling between faith and adoration.
But, after tens of years passed, Darco grew old. Even though he gained the status of a Gray Bishop in the Nation of the Holy Church, he became an old man that needed the support of a crutch to walk.
But, the Saintess still looked like a seventeen to eighteen year old girl. The enormous disparity in their appearances caused Bishop Darco to hide his adoration for the saintess to become a faithful attendant to her instead.
Not long ago, the Saintess Herolia suddenly decided to sneak out of the Holy City to proceed to the Capital of Magic, Norland, to scout out the demon’s activities.
That was a mission that should be done by the inquisitors from the Heresy Tribunal. But, the Saintess Herolia insisted on doing it personally.
Darco was forced to carry out her orders.
As this was an infiltration mission, Darco was originally planning to disguise them as a caravan of merchants. He planned to use the disguise to ensure the Saintess Herolia would be able to enter Norland safely.
But, this hard-to-handle young miss refused his proposal. In the end, they ended up making a compromise – disguise themselves as an ordinary group of missionaries from the Nation of the Holy Church.
Apart from Darco who disguised himself as an ordinary priest, the missionary group had several new templar recruits and two templar legion commanders.
The two legion commanders were there as bodyguards. As such, Bishop Darco thought that their journey to Norland will be completely safe.
But, they’ve only just entered the city and were immediately greeted with a Sin Demon!
A Sin Demon appeared in a human city!
......
When Bishop Darco heard the templar new recruits reporting this to him, he was unwilling to believe it to be true. It was so much that he pondered if he had entered the front line between the war of their war with the demons!
A monster as fierce as the Sin Demons shouldn’t appear in the human world.
But, the truth was placed before him. In the most flourishing human city, the Capital of Magic, Norland, a giant-sized Sin Demon openly appeared on the street.
And, what was even more unbelievable was that there were a bunch of residents from Norland surrounding that Sin Demon.
Furthermore, those residents were enthusiastically rubbing the Sin Demon’s fur with their hands.
Were they not afraid of being ripped to pieces by that demon’s sharp claws?
Fortunately, Norland’s city guards came and settled the chaos. After their arrival, the Sin Demon also disappeared.
But, the encounter they had while entering Norland made Bishop Darco certain of one thing — the intelligence the inquisitors brought back from Norland were all real.
A dangerous demon had infiltrated into Norland and had established great powers in Norland.
The intelligence was enough to put the Nation of the Holy Church into action to resist against the invasion of the demons.
But, the Heresy Tribunal had indeed ‘acted’ several times. Yet, all those actions resulted in failure.
This encounter had warned Bishop Darco exactly how dangerous the demons hidden in Norland were.
But… the first place after the Saintess Herolia arrived in Norland was not the small chapel located at the corner of Norland.
Instead, she went to the Weissenasche Theater.
According to the intelligence they had, Bishop Darco knew that this theater was controlled by the demons.
He sincerely hoped for the Saintess Herolia to distance herself from such a filthy place.
But, in the end, the Saintess Herolia, him and a templar legion commander disguised themselves into three ordinary civilians and purchased three movie tickets. They smoothly entered the theater and started waiting for the movie by the name of ‘Léon: The Demon’ to begin.
“Miss Lia, please be careful of the surroundings. It’s possible that there are shadows hidden nearby.”
Sitting on a general admission seat, Bishop Darco experienced for the first time the feeling of sitting like there were needles all around.
Ever since they stepped into the Weissenasche Theater, the templar legion commander and him were on full alert. It was as if they believed that any random passerby could turn into the demons’ lackeys and start attacking the saintess.
They even believed the fruit juices being sold in the theater to be permeating with malicious and deadly poisons that will kill with a single drop.
The Saintess Herolia seemed to not be worried about her surroundings at all. She extended her hand toward Darco and asked, “Where’s the juice I had you buy?”
“Miss Lia, please pay attention to the surroundings at all times…”
“My ability to detect evil is far sharper than the two of you. No shadows will be able to escape my detection, Bishop Darco,” The Saintess Herolia looked at the grizzled hair old man whose age has surpassed half a century and extended her hand again, “Now, the juice…”
Faced with Herolia’s order, Bishop Darco ultimately handed to her a cup of fruit juice he purchased from the Weissenasche Theater.
“Thank you, Darco.”
“Miss Lia, the intelligence stated that this is demon territory. As such, please be careful of a potential attack arising at any moment,” Bishop Darco warned Herolia again.
But, Herolia did not bother to respond to him this time around. She instead turned her head to look elsewhere. Then, she raised the fruit juice in her hand.
“Do you mind telling me where your parents are? If you tell me, this cup of fruit juice will be yours.”
The Saintess Herolia looked at the little girl seated next to her. Even though she was using a sweet drink liked by all kids to ‘entice’ the little girl, the little girl gave off a very cold and detached expression.
“Thank you for your offer but my parents told me that I cannot accept things from strangers,” The little girl pushed her wooden glasses frames and replied with an ice-cold tone.
“What an obedient little lady,” said Herolia.
Hearing those words, the ‘little girl’s’ eyebrow’s throbbed.
This was the Prophet’s second time being addressed as a little girl since coming to this city. This time around, she can tell from the nun’s expression that she did it on purpose.
The Prophet felt like this nun had seen through her disguise. That was why she was using this sort of method to probe her.
Worse yet, the old man and the middle-aged man seated next to her were faintly emitting magic power indescribable with words.
Especially that middle-aged man. Even if her attendant Zeru was here, the Prophet would not be certain that he would be able to defeat the middle-aged man for certain.
It would appear that the ones lured over by the movie were not ordinary missionaries from the Nation of the Holy Church. Instead, they were a bunch of people with extraordinary identities.
While the Prophet was pondering about how to escape from them, the surrounding lights suddenly went off. Darkness filled the theater.
“The movie’s starting!”
The Prophet heard an exclaim of excitement from someone.
Perhaps she should stay and finish watching the movie? The Prophet took a glance at the nun next to her. It seemed like she had the same intention.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
