Located on the banks of the River of Cogs.
"Bah! Just relying on a few crusaders in iron bumps to take me back, those who have no desires are still too naive, much more naive than when they play priests!"
The judge Cheryl from the Inquisition of Heresy was half-squatting on the roof of an alchemy workshop, looking down at the four Crusaders who were looking for her whereabouts on the bridge.
Her smug tone didn't last long when a burning pain suddenly came from her shoulder, and a dark purple symbol appeared on her shoulder.
"Shadow Mark?!" She recognized the symbol on her shoulder, and at the same time, the four Crusaders discovered her whereabouts at this moment and ran towards her.
"Desireless, you damn dirty shepherd!"
After she complained, she immediately jumped from the roof and fell into the alley next to her.
The four Crusaders began to search the area, but she quickly escaped from the alley with her inhuman mobility.
The burning pain in her shoulder gradually disappeared, and she climbed to the top floor of an alchemy workshop again, and began to think about where to go next.
But after thinking for a moment, she regrets... she's lost.
The mission of the church's heresy court is to wipe out the "rebellious people" who are detrimental to the church, and in her view, the heresy judges themselves are a rebellious existence to this world.
She has inherited the unparalleled power given by the church, but this power is very unstable and may go out of control at any time.
Therefore, every judge must stay in the core area of the holy city of the church when not performing tasks.
This is a great honor for every believer in the Holy Land, because the core area of the Holy City is the closest holy place to the gods.
But to her, it was like a cage. If it wasn't for the church's choir singing to alleviate the side effects of her loss of control, she would have escaped from that hellish place more than a hundred years ago.
But after coming to Nolan, the situation has changed completely.
Cheryl took out a pitch-black original spar from the pocket of her clothes. After she injected magic power into it, she could vaguely hear the singing coming from the original spar.
The soothing singing calmed her restless consciousness a little, but only "a little", if she stopped looking for things that "make me happy" to distract her.
Sooner or later, those crazy whispers would keep echoing in her mind again.
"The White Thorns Theater is nearby, how about we go to see "Beauty and the Devil" again?"
"This is already the first time, the fifth or sixth time, Sansa, are you really not tired of it?"
"It's alright, how about you, Hurland?"
Cheryl, who had been hiding on the roof of the alchemy workshop, was attracted by the discussion. She looked below the alchemy workshop and found a familiar figure.
"That succubus at Hearthstone Tavern..."
Cheryl looked at the five girls standing in front of the alchemy workshop. The robes they wore proved that they all came from the same magic school, but a succubus was mixed in among them.
According to the role of the inquisitor, Cheryl should have killed this "enemy of the gods", but Cheryl recognized the succubus as a servant working in the Hearthstone Tavern.
And Nolan's Hearthstone Tavern was the only place other than the choir in the Holy City that could make her feel "joy", not joy, but excitement.
For the past two weeks, relying on the game called Hearthstone, she completely forgot those damn whispers.
She watched the five girls from the roof, and after the brief conversation ended, two of them chose to leave.
Maybe follow that succubus back to Hearthstone Tavern
Cheryl pondered for a moment, but she kept up with the succubus, but she did not dare to get too close.
The body of this succubus was surrounded by a faint breath of death, and it seemed that some undead creature was wandering around this succubus.
Cheryl followed them all the way through the River of Gears, hoping to return to Hearthstone Tavern under the leadership of the succubus.
But her hope was lost, and in the end they did not return to the Hearthstone Tavern, but instead came to a place called the White Thorns Theater.
"Why are demons still interested in stage plays!"
She stood in front of the white buds theater and commented that the succubus entered the theater, and was debating whether to follow her in.
A stage play would not end in an hour or two, and it took so long that she could find the location of Hearthstone Tavern by just looking for anyone on the street.
But the four Crusaders who chased after her with the "shadow mark" on her body left her with no choice at all.
In order to hide, she could only temporarily walk into the Bai Jinghua Theater.
The Bai Jinghua Theater was an excellent hiding place. Crowds from all over the theater occupied the entire theater hall. The originally open theater hall seemed a little crowded at this time.
Cheryl walked past the crowd and came to the corner of the theater hall. There was a row of benches for rest, and Cheryl was lucky to find a seat.
She sat in that position rudely. She has been noisy since the morning, and even the best judges will feel tired.
"Is this lady also watching the new movie?"
A voice sounded in Cheryl's ear. She turned her head and saw a familiar figure, Chaos Demon, Joshua, but she preferred to use the title of innkeeper.
As a heretic judge, she did take on the task of assassinating Joshua. The motivation for carrying out this task was not so much her "loyalty to the church" as it was to be able to listen to a short song after completing the task. class singing.
Cheryl has now found something far more interesting than choir singing. As for the task
To challenge a Chaos Demon alone, or a Chaos Demon that may be prepared, is completely self-defeating.
"Movie?"
Cheryl guessed that Joshua didn't know her true identity, so she could talk to Joshua calmly.
She could already vaguely hear those whispers dangling in her ears, and if she didn't find something to cheer her up, she might be in danger of life.
At this moment, the audience in the entire Bai Jinghua Theater suddenly exclaimed in amazement.
Because the poster of "Beauty and the Devil" hanging in the theater suddenly disappeared, replaced by the poster of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
The poster of Leon the Demon Slayer walking on the road with the little girl Matilda holding a potted plant caught Cheryl's attention for a few seconds, and also raised Cheryl's interest.
"certainly… "
The frantic whispers in her ears became clearer and clearer, forcing Cheryl to give an affirmative answer.
Anyway, it is not the first time that she has accepted the temptation of this demon, and now she only hopes that this so-called movie can be interesting enough.
