Chapter 455: signing ceremony |
As Nolan’s portal opened, Myrcella returned to Nolan once again.
What made Myrcella feel a little ashamed was that she did not return to Nolan this time for some ‘mission’, but simply because she had seen the news of the ‘Nolan Open Tournament’on the Spellcaster Forum, this caused her to be absent-minded while practicing her sword every day.
Only at this time did Myrcella realize the malice of that ‘Chaos Demon’.
After she returned to the holy city, she had repeatedly exhorted herself to forget her experience in Nolan and stop thinking about those hearthstones and unpacking.
However… the more myrcella forced herself to forget, the clearer her memory became.
Especially after Hearthstone legend released two brand-new card packs and held a Nolan Open tournament for all players.
The string that had been tensing the female Knight’s heart for a long time was completely broken.
Seeing the knot in Myrcella’s heart, she generously gave Myrcella a full fifteen-day holiday.
At first, Myrcella refused this holiday, but under the mission entrusted to her, she had no choice but to return to this great mage city.
Myrcella stood opposite the Hearthstone Tavern and looked at the dwarves who came and went in the tavern.
Her mission was to bring back the traitors, Cheryl and Denisa.
The ‘bring back’here did not mean to capture them. Gloria was hoping that Cheryl and Denisa could join her side as friends.
Myrcella could not guess what the SAINTESS was thinking, but the mission that she had entrusted to Myrcella had to be completed.
“Captain, why don’t we forcefully bring the judge back?”
Behind Myrcella was another Holy Army. This holy army seemed to be a loyal supporter of the Holy Maiden faction and agreed to be a good man with a strong character.
But what gave Myrcella a headache was that this young holy army was here in Nolan for the first time.
Or rather… Nolan after the appearance of the chaos demon for the first time.
“Didn’t I tell you when I came out? The residents of Nolan don’t have a good impression of the Holy Army, so don’t do such reckless behavior,”Myrcella said.
“Why?”
The young sacred army did vaguely sense the malice of the residents of Nolan towards the Sacred Army during the past fifteen days in Nolan.
This was something that he absolutely could not understand.
Although the Sacred Army was part of the Army of the country of the sacred religion, they were warriors who controlled the power of the Holy Light. The Magic of the Holy Light generally had the power to heal injuries.
Therefore, the people and soldiers in various countries still had a good impression of the Holy Army, which was capable of both healing and resisting.
”…”Myrcella’s lips opened and closed, wanting to say something, but all his words turned into a sigh.
Why on Earth was this? It was clearly the Holy Army that came to Nolan first to build the church, but in the end, because of the appearance of the Chaos Demon, let alone the Holy Army, even the reputation of the entire kingdom of the holy religion in this world plummeted.
It was not just the residents of Nolan. Myrcella usually browsed information about the country of the holy religion on the magic web, especially the documentary “Internal strife of Frost”a while ago.
Even if she did not watch the content of the documentary, just by looking at the discussion on the internet, she vaguely began to wonder what had happened to the country that she was loyal to?
“That Judge will give us the final answer today. Wait patiently.”
Myrcella shook her head and drove the bad thoughts out of her mind.
She could only keep using the idea that everything was fabricated by that demon to force herself not to think about unnecessary things.
Fortunately, Myrcella’s trip to Nolan was rather pleasant. Not only did she watch the entire process of Nolan’s Open tournament on TV, but she also successfully bought a brand-new card bag, after defeating the Lich Kel ‘Thuzad in the necromancy and venom-filled naxamas, she went to Black Rock Mountain to slaughter nefarian.
“There’s no reason for that down-and-out judge to reject Lady Heloria’s invitation. Moreover, Lady Heloria has promised to pardon her for her past mistakes.”
In the past fifteen days, Myrcella and her subordinates had met Cheryl several times.
The judge had been complaining about her life in Nolan, such as ‘being so poor that she eats dirt every day’, ‘wanting to open her card bag but having no money, hoping that some kind-hearted person would take care of it’.
Logically speaking, if her life was so tight, Cheryl should have returned to her old job.
Although this was a situation that Myrcella did not wish to see, as a warrior or a sword wielder, this might be their fate.
Cheryl’s hands were stained with too much blood. The day the news of her life in Nolan was exposed, someone would definitely come looking for Cheryl to settle the sins committed by the judges.
‘I’m in the Library of the Advanced Magic Academy of Luersk. I’ll give you an answer there.’
A message from Cheryl interrupted Myrcella’s thoughts.
Library? What was he going to do there?
Myrcella didn’t hesitate too much. She immediately brought her subordinates and rushed to the Advanced Magic Academy.
She spent about half an hour to reach the Magic Academy.
The library happened to be located in the center of the Advanced Magic Academy. It was the most magnificent building in the entire Magic Academy. When Myrcella walked straight into the library, she saw the lady judge.
“What are you doing here?”
Myrcella looked at the surrounding decorations in confusion. The entrance of the library was connected by two long tables. Above the long tables, there were words written by some kind of fluorescent magic.
That was ‘the signing ceremony of Sister Skartan and sister Denisa’
Myrcella could not understand the meaning of the signing ceremony. However, she saw that Cheryl had a pile of the same books in her hands. On the cover was the title of ‘Heretic Judge’s diary, day one to six hundred and seventy-two days’.
“Selling books,”Cheryl answered.
“Selling… books? Are you selling books for the library here?”
Myrcella remembered Cheryl crying to her before. She had to find three jobs every day to be able to afford the nun at home and her card box.
Myrcella already knew about the attendant work that she did in the Hearthstone Tavern during the day. One of the other two jobs was selling books in this library?
“It’s to sell books I wrote myself.”Cheryl raised a copy of the heretic judge’s diary that was placed on the table.
“The diary you recorded on the magic web actually became a real book?”
Myrcella was slightly surprised. Most ordinary people had the same view of publishing as Cheryl.
That was, the author who could write and publish books had become an unreachable existence. Most of the books in this world were still in the form of manuscripts, and those that could be placed in the library.., the books that were specially made with ‘print’magic were all written by those wise men.
“Mm.”Cheryl was a little proud when she heard Myrcella’s surprised voice, but her complacency quickly subsided.
“But no one bought them…”
Cheryl covered her face with both hands and let out a dejected sigh.
Myrcella was about to say something to comfort Cheryl when she heard the girl behind her exclaim.
When Myrcella turned around, she saw a group of girls gathered behind her. These girls were not here to borrow books, but to see the nun sitting behind the long table.
“That… seems to be with you?”Myrcella remembered that the nun was also her mission target. Her name was Denise.
“Yes, she’s with me.”
Cheryl covered her face with her hands and slightly opened her eyes. She looked at Denisa who was surrounded by a group of female readers in the distance, feeling very complicated.
“Ah! If I knew that her book would be so popular, why did I work so hard to support her in the past!”
“Cheryl, have you considered what I’ve told you before?”Myrcella repeated the promise of Helovia. “If you return to the holy city, Lady Helovia will protect your safety and give you a corresponding status…”
“We’ll talk later!”Cheryl did not reply Myrcella immediately.
The two elderly spell casters walked into the library and looked around. For the first time, they did not run to Denisa’s side. Instead, they slowly came to Cheryl’s desk.
“May I ask if the author of ‘Heretic Judge’s Diary’is Here?”One of the old spellcasters asked.
“That’s me!”Cheryl said.
She did not know how many times she had answered the same question.
