When the golden inscription appeared on Messiah's arm, Pest was also ready to fight.
The Crusaders... and they're not the kind of recruits who haven't even been on the battlefield.
Her proud blood manipulation cannot cause substantial damage to enemies at the level of Misa, and can only affect her movements in battle.
So Peister's hand reached behind her and held the dagger she was carrying.
Why the Crusaders are here.
While being alert to the other party's movements, Peste began to observe the surroundings of the tavern, looking for the existence of other Crusaders.
With a keen sense of the power of the Holy Light, Pest quickly found more than five humans using the Holy Light system magic in the crowd in the tavern...
That is to say, there may be at least six Crusaders in the entire tavern, which is completely equivalent to the tavern being surrounded by Crusaders!
"Is this really where Joshua Arnold is hiding?"
Peste once again asked Prock behind him, and he still got a positive answer from Prock.
This answer made Pest think of two possibilities. The first possibility is that Prouker colluded with the Crusaders and brought her into the trap that the Crusaders had arranged from the beginning.
The second possibility, and the worst case, is that the Crusaders have discovered the traces of the Chaos Demon, Joshua, and are going to come to Joshua's hideout to "dispose of" him directly.
Pest would rather believe the latter is the current situation, so she whispered to Prock.
"Go and tell Joshua Arnold that I can take him out of here safely."
Although the order Pester got was to "take Joshua back to the royal city", she still had a layer of meaning to protect Joshua.
The younger brother of Her Highness Cecily, whom she respected by Joshua, Pest didn't want to bring back a corpse. Only by completing the task perfectly can the stern supervisor be satisfied.
Misa walked slowly to Pest. She didn't want to fight in the Hearthstone Tavern... On the one hand, innocent people could be accidentally injured. On the other hand, fighting was strictly prohibited in the tavern, and those who violated it would be thrown out.
There are more and more guests in the Hearthstone Tavern. There have been several arrogant spellcasters. They were furious when they lost to their opponents in Hearthstone. They took out their staff and planned to have a real hearthstone to vent themselves. of anger.
But the final result was thrown out by Qiao Xiu. Any identity is useless in this tavern full of various noble spellcasters, and even the sages of the Tower of Sages. Those who are thrown out are still not convinced. The final outcome of the caster is to be crushed by the dwarf.
Therefore, the tavern has also developed a default rule of "you can play dirty shepherd, but please be ready to make the tavern to win your opponent in reality".
But Pester, who had just arrived, obviously didn't know this rule. The dagger behind her was already unsheathed, and the sharp edge and the strong smell of blood spread around the watcher.
Pest clenched the dagger behind her back and didn't dare to let it go. Messiah was no ordinary opponent.
But just as she was wary of any slight movement from Messi, Joshua walked down the stairs from the second floor to the lobby of the Hearthstone Tavern.
Peister didn't even need to look at it to confirm, her keen "smell" of blood directly judged that the target she was looking for had appeared!
"You are in danger now."
She dodged in front of Joshua, lowered her voice and said to Joshua.
"I think you may have misunderstood something, Miss Watcher."
Joshua looked back and forth between Misa and the stranger standing in front of him, and soon figured out the reason for Misa's sudden hostility.
This strong bloody smell, if it was Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu would not be able to treat her as a good person.
There were also many spellcasters in the tavern who noticed the confrontation. In order to quell the confusion, Joshua shook his head at Messi.
"… "
Obeying a demon's orders was no longer a shame for a Crusader, but Messiah had to let the golden inscription on his arm dissipate.
This is the chaotic demon's territory. The "monitoring agreement" reached between Desireless and Qiao Xiu is very fragile. If Qiao Xiu tears it up unilaterally, Messiah will basically say goodbye to the game Hearthstone. .
The Church will not allow anything invented by the devil to remain in this world.
"Misunderstand?"
Pest still maintained a posture of preparing for battle, and there were six Crusaders in the entire tavern.
She didn't understand why Joshua remained so calm after being surrounded by the Crusaders.
"Come upstairs and talk, and you, too, Prock."
After Joshua finished saying this, he went upstairs.
Only Pester, who was holding the dagger, and Prock, who passed by Pester silently, walked upstairs.
As Prock stepped up the stairs, he felt a slight pain in his heart again.
It was Pest's signal to tell him to stand still.
"Why are you still so calm?"
Pest did not understand why Prouker could go upstairs as if nothing had happened in this situation.
The Crusaders are not the law enforcers of a small country. They are professional executioners of demons, such as Prouk, a demon with little combat power, shouldn't they flee the moment they see the Crusaders
"safe."
Prucker stretched out his hand and pointed to a direction of Hearthstone Tavern, and Pest looked in the direction that Prucker pointed.
It was a servant from the Hearthstone Tavern, who seemed to be a pretty girl, but Pest immediately recognized that the servant was a succubus, or one of very low bloodline.
Anyone with a slightly sharper perception of demons can see through the identity of this succubus at a glance.
But she was walking back and forth in the tavern with the tray in hand, and even occasionally passed by one or two Crusaders, who just glanced at her and stopped doing anything else.
how is this possible
Pest couldn't believe this scene. She clearly knew how much the Crusaders hated demons, or that it was their duty to hunt down demons. The purpose of the church's establishment of the Crusaders was to fight against demons.
A demon openly appeared in a human city, and if it met the Crusaders, the Crusaders had countless reasons to kill him.
The succubus attendant also walked over to the female Crusader Knight and talked to her for a few words... It seemed that the chat was still very happy.
"That... Miss Cheryl... I really can't play legendary cards recently."
"It's okay, you're our lucky angel, you're right! Messiah..."
Cheryl grabbed the corner of Ino's clothes as she walked by, hoping she could open a pack of cards for herself.
"do not ask me… "
Messi already felt the strange gaze from Pest, which was like "So you are this kind of Crusader!"
Although Nolan has been used to being misunderstood by her colleagues for about two months, the surprise from the enemy, still a filthy vampire, still makes Messi unacceptable.
"Legendary cards are out!"
Cheryl let out a loud cry, and this exclamation finally made Messi couldn't help but look over.
