Chapter 152

After receiving a free admission ticket from Joshua, Cheryl followed the crowd and entered the screening theater.

Truth was, she did not have too many expectations for the stage play. She had only come to the Weissenasche Theater to utilize their security to hide herself from the templars pursuing her.

Cheryl spent some time finding her seat. Soon, she could hear discussions from the surrounding people.

“From the poster, it seemed like the female lead is Miss Gallolei from the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe.”

“That Flower of Farucci? Impossible. I remember she had long hair.”

Cheryl didn’t bother to pay attention to the crowd’s comments. Right now, she was only thinking of one thing.

Ah... I want to play Hearthstone so badly.

Like a mollusk, she was spread out and sunken into her seat. As the screen gradually brightened up, she yawned.

But, when the movie began, her sleepiness disappeared completely.

‘He’s not my father. He’s my lover!’

‘I think we’ll be okay here, Léon...’

The movie spanned for over two hours. Cheryl sat on her seat for over two hours straight. She was so focused in the movie that she had completely forgotten to blink her eyes.

After watching ‘Léon: The Demon,’ Cheryl came to a conclusion.

That movie cannot be considered ‘amusing’ or ‘fascinating’ at all. After all, she was unable to see the screen properly as tears covered her eyes the entire time!

When the movie ended, the audience in the theater were forced to recall how terrifying of an experience they’ve just gone through, how their tear ducts were completely controlled by a certain demon. They also remembered how humiliating it was to not bring a handkerchief with them to watch movies.

Cheryl could hear sobbing from the audience. The two men seated beside her that were making comments before the start of the movie were completely silent and holding back their tears.

Feeling sorrowful, Cheryl realized that there were actually a lot more interesting things in this world apart from the singing of the Holy City’s choir.

Cheryl suddenly recalled how there were still many inquisitors inflicted by those crazy mutterings.

She was not concerned with those that were unrelated with her. But, there were several inquisitors that were her close friends.

She... must return.

Moved by the feelings between Mathilda and Léon, Cheryl gave up the thought of selfishness and prepared herself to return to the church.

She stood up from her seat and became the first audience to leave the screening theater. Not long after she walked out from the theater room, she met the Chaos Demon again on the empty hallway.

“Should I address you as Miss Inquisitor or as the Hearthstone’s Legendary Player?”

The former half of Joshua’s words made Cheryl prepare herself to battle against him. But, the latter half of her words caused the movement of her hand to stiffen.

Legendary Player. There existed a ranking list in Hearthstone. Those ranked among the top ten were known as Legendary Players.

Yesterday, Cheryl used Messai’s deck and barely defeated the tenth ranking dwarf player. She proved that her skills or luck was enough to allow her to be ranked among the top ten players of all the Hearthstone players.

“You can address me with the latter. It feels... how should I explain it, much friendlier! There’s still people waiting for me outside. I’ll take my leave first.”

Cheryl waved her hand at Joshua. She looked like an excited little girl who had just finished watching an animated movie like ‘Frozen’ or ‘Zootopia.’

But, what she just watched was ‘Leon: The Demon.’ Furthermore, her age and identity was most definitely not that of a little girl either.

The four templars have actually been waiting for her outside for a long time now. The moment she walks out, she would be captured by the four templars.

“The new card expansion and an adventure mode will come out in a couple months. The new expansion is called ‘Goblins vs Gnomes’ and the adventure ‘Naxxaramas.’ The hearthstone in a couple months will be completely different from the one you’ve played so far, Miss Legendary Player.”

Joshua’s words caused Cheryl’s footsteps to stop once again. He can tell that she was hesitating a lot...

“As expected from a demon. But, even if it’s completely different, I can’t do anything about it... I also wanted to stay in this city! I also wanted to get higher rankings!”

Finally, Joshua managed to stab at the sore spot in her heart. She was not the type that’s good at maintaining her calm to begin with.

She stamped her feet furiously. If it wasn’t for the demon Joshua being here, she might start hitting the wall to vent her anger!

“But... I must return.”

Cheryl spent some time to contain her emotions.

If she continues to stay here, the Heresy Tribunal will consider her a defector. Only death will await her then.

She was not afraid of defecting. What she was concerned about were her friends in the Heresy Tribunal. They were still being tortured by those mutterings. The Holy Church was using those crazed mutterings as the shackles around her neck.

And now, she found ways to remove those shackles without having to go through the choir. But, her friends do not possess such means.

“Is that so.”

Joshua had thought all those assassins from the Heresy Tribunal to be ice-cold and ruthless like the dark elf. But, it seemed like the little girl before him was not one such person.

A purely white originium crystal appeared in Joshua’s hand.

He tossed that cobblestone-like originium crystal to Cheryl.

The originium crystal does not give off any aura of danger. Because of that, Cheryl caught it without hesitation.

“If you’ve received the runes of the God of Order, crush it with your hands... There’s a magic contained within it that will allow you to learn the newest information about ‘Hearthstone’ at any given time. Keep this leaf too, it is crucial to the information update.”

A soft green leaf appeared in Joshua’s hand. The young leaf drifted over to the inquisitor’s palm.

Cheryl began to examine the originium crystal with suspicion. She was unable to sense any danger from the originium crystal at all. Its magic power was also so stable that it was practically impossible for it to contain any dangerous offensive ability.

In a testing manner, Cheryl crushed apart the originium crystal with her hand. A large amount of runes came pouring into his palm. A white interface appeared before her eyes. On the upper left corner of the interface were the words ‘Mage Forum.’

In shock, she took a step back. She began to examine her own body. But, she found no trace of being under a curse or an illusion spell. Instead, her eyes were caught by the interface before her eyes, by the Hearthstone Special District.

This inquisitor had astonishing wits. She didn’t need Joshua’s help and extended her own hand to tap on the Hearthstone Special District.

There were two stickied posts in that forum. The first post were the rules and regulations of the subforum. The title for the second post was: ‘Current revealed cards from the ‘Goblins vs Gnomes’ expansion. I am not the designer! Go find Firebringer if you have complaints or comments!’

Cheryl tapped into the second post. ‘Ciri.’ That was a name she recognized. What appeared after were over a dozen completely new cards.

After scrolling all the way to the bottom, she discovered a message left behind by someone called ‘Firebringer.’

‘This has nothing to do with me either! This is all Blizzard’s work!’

“What unbelievable magic. Is this an advisory magic created by you demons?”

There were magics among the Holy Light system that could allow one to leave writings for others. But, Cheryl felt like it would be slightly terrifying to describe what she was seeing as magic.

“I am more fond of addressing this as the Magic Network. It would appear that I will not have any time to explain things to you. If Miss Legendary Player wishes to make this thing useful, please don’t lose the leaf in your hand.

As Joshua spoke, more and more people were walking out from the screening theater.

The inquisitor understood what Joshua meant. She followed the crowd and left the hallway.

“You’re... going to let that inquisitor go just like that?”

The dark elf’s voice sounded in Joshua’s ear. She has been hiding in the shadows and observing things the entire time. She only appeared from the shadows after Cheryl left.

The dark elf’s current appearance was that of an ordinary female mage. That inquisitor seemed to have detected her slightly. If it wasn’t for Joshua being present, she would’ve taken out her bow and arrow to shoot an arrow through Cheryl’s forehead.

“I am not letting her go. What I’m doing is striking at the enemy’s base. She will return to Norland. I believe she will bring back good news to us upon her return. It is just like how you’ll set off to journey back to the demon realm today.”

As Joshua spoke, he and the dark elf walked to a private room on the other side of the hallway.

“I... am only staying in Norland because I was tasked with the mission of monitoring you.”

The dark elf was not fond of how confident Joshua was acting.

“In that case, please greet your master for me...”

Joshua took out another cobblestone-like originium crystal and handed it to the dark elf. At the same time, he also took out another soft green leaf and an originium crystal containing ‘Léon: The Demon.’

“This leaf...”

“It’s a newgrown leaf from the World Tree, a network repeater capable of overcoming world boundaries. As long as you’re holding this leaf, even if you’re in the demon realm, I can guarantee that your WIFI signal will remain full.”

The World Tree has only just sprouted. It only has four leaves so far. The two leaves were something that Joshua bargained with the future cat lady for a very long time to obtain.

Both their commemorative significance and actual usage were exceptional. But, Joshua believed that giving them to that inquisitor and this dark elf were the best choices.

“Furthermore, I’ve made anti-theft measures to the originium crystal with ‘Léon: The Demon.’ It can only be played ten times. You can say that it’s a limited use version.”

Even though the dark elf was dispatched by someone from the demon realm to monitor him, she became his envoy to communicate with the demon realm after they’ve signed a soul contract.

If things go according to plan, Joshua’s elder sister Cecily, Sentinel of the Demon Realm, would not allow for their Third Prince to wander around the human realm, especially if he’s targeted by the Heresy Tribunal.

“I will safekeep them properly. And... Your Highness Joshua.”

At the time when the dark elf was planning to leave, she suddenly turned around. After a short moment of hesitation, she suddenly spoke.

“Your younger sister, Her Highness Faye, is not your enemy.”

What? The Third Prince had a younger sister?

Hearing the dark elf’s words, Joshua carefully searched through his memories. He discovered that he does seem to have a younger sister... But, he had never encountered her in the Royal City. Her sense of existence was pitifully low to him.

“I will consider your words a warning,” said Joshua.

The dark elf bowed to Joshua. Then, she disappeared into the crowd walking in the hallway.
