Chapter 281: Chapter 281

Chapter 281

“You have the option of selling that legendary card. If my memories served me correctly, the legendary Dr. Boom, even if it’s not golden, is worth eight hundred to a thousand gold coins.”

Cheryl provided Messai with a not-so-good proposal.

Messai’s success in opening a legendary card caused a ripple in her previously tranquil heart.

Ever since Messai became Saintess Herolia’s attendant, gold coins became nothing more than mere worldly possessions.

This female knight, at this moment, was truly penniless. The silver coins she carried with her would not be able to purchase any expensive card packs at all.

“That would be... a very foolish behavior. Besides, I do not plan to continue.”

Messai shook her head and closed her card storage. She planned to use this method to rid herself of those strange thoughts.

“Hm, that’s true. A legendary card like that should be kept for one’s own use. But! Messai, I have another way to earn money... or perhaps, earn card packs.”

Cheryl took out a pamphlet from god knows where and handed it to Messai.

“World’s Singers... this name...”

Messai skimmed through the pamphlet. Then, she raised her head and looked at the images being broadcasted on the projection screen nonstop.

“The Voice of Norland is planning to hold a singing competition. It’s said that everyone in Norland is qualified to participate.”

“I know.”

Messai returned the pamphlet to Cheryl. She seemed to not be interested.

“But, this had nothing to do with me. I did not return to Norland for the sake of fooling around.”

“It’s best to loosen yourself after work. Besides, I know that you’ve been in the choir for a while, no?”

As a senior from the Heresy Tribunal, Cheryl suddenly spoke of the history of the female knight before her.

But, the expression Messai had did not change. She was still as cold and indifferent as before.

“That’s something from many years ago.”

“But, it proves that you, Messai, had talent in singing.”

Cheryl was trying her hardest to have Messai ascend the stage of the ‘World’s Singers.’ Naturally, it was mainly because of her mischievous personality.

“Messai, you do not have to win the competition. You only need to pass that so-called ‘audition.’ Once you pass that and rank yourself a bit higher, the amount of gold coin rewards would be able to be exchanged for a large quantity of card packs. Even the last place would be able to be rewarded with thirty card packs.”

To a certain degree, Hearthstone card packs have become a type of ‘currency’ in Norland.

What Cheryl was doing was simply equivalent to inciting a devout Christian to participate in a malicious concert held by Satan himself.

Naturally, Messai wouldn’t allow herself to be scammed by this granny of a little girl. She placed away her card storage and stood up. She had no intention to continue to linger around the tavern.

“My apologies, I have to go now. I still have assignments that I needed to complete,” said Messai.

“If you have time, try participating, Messai!”

Messai could hear Cheryl’s shout as she walked out the tavern.

World’s Singers.

As Messai walked on the commercial street, she was able to see posters about the ‘competition’ all over the place. It would appear that the host of the competition was extremely obsessed with it.

It seemed like the host was planning to transform the competition to a large scale... musical pageant.

But, Messai knew who the mastermind behind the Voice of Norland was — that Chaos Demon!

In other words, ‘World’s Singers’ was a competition managed by a demon.

Messai was no longer able to indulge herself in pleasures like she did before.

She came to Norland with the Saintess Herolia to carry out missions this time around. As such, she must uphold her conviction and remain faithful to the Holy Light. Furthermore, she must protect the safety of the Saintess at all times.

She cannot disregard her duty and run to participate in a competition held by a demon!

If she was to do that and ended up being discovered by the Saintess Herolia of the Bishop accompanying her, her final shelter in the Nation of the Holy Church would also disappear.

Messai, someone with matchless faith in the Lord, would not do something that foolish.

Messai’s train of thoughts was interrupted the moment she returned to the little chapel. The moment she entered the chapel, she heard the shouting voice of the Bishop accompanying them.

“Lady Lia! My investigators have returned. That competition is a ceremony schemed by that demon. He must be plotting something dreadful!”

Bishop Darco’s voice sounded very anxious.

Messai stopped before the door upon hearing those words. Even her hand that was about to push open the door stopped in midair.

Competition... could it be, the Saintess... already knew?

Messai quietly listened from the other side of the door. Soon, she heard Herolia’s voice.

“Bishop Darco, if you’re already afraid of that demon without having even seen him before, how are you supposed to face the other demons in the future then? Is my bishop this cowardly?”

“No... that’s not it. Lady Lia, I never feared any of those dark creatures. It’s just that you absolutely cannot participate in that World’s Singers ceremony. The mastermind behind that ceremony is a dangerous Chaos Demon!” Bishop Darco’s aged voice grew increasingly anxious. “If you are to participate in it, you will definitely be faced with unimaginable dangers.”

The Saintess was actually planning to participate in the World’s Singers?

Messai’s train of thoughts immediately entered a state of confusion... But, she soon calmed her mind. She placed her hand on the handle and pushed open the door.

Two templar legion commanders were silently standing on either side of the chapel’s main hall. Bishop Darco was the only person dissuading Saintess Herolia to not do such a dangerous thing.

“Messai, you’ve come at the perfect timing... Bishop Darco, I believe that my personal knight will be able to ensure my safety before the threat of the demons.”

The female knight’s silhouette was reflected in Herolia’s eyes. Messai’s lips opened slightly. She didn’t know what to say.

The two legion commanders participating in this mission had far more experience and were much stronger than her.

Facing a dangerous Chaos Demon, the two legion commanders should be much better at ensuring the safety of the Saintess than her.

“Lady Lia...” Bishop Darco was thinking the same thing as Messai. But, his words were interrupted by a single hand gesture from Herolia.

“No matter what you say, I’ve made my decision. My knight Messai, do you wish to attempt what you did in your childhood again?” Saintess Herolia extended her hand at Messai.

She was referring to Messai’s past experience in the choir. By choir, she did not mean the choir in the Holy City’s cathedral. Instead, she was referring to the little choir in the monastery Messai lived in her childhood.

“...”

Deep in Messai’s heart, she strongly opposed interacting with that Chaos Demon. The reason for that was not because she hated him. Instead, it was due to fear.

Certain things that Chaos Demon had shown her were simply too ‘perfect.’ Take the game Hearthstone or the Hearthstone tavern itself for an example, both of them gave Messai an illusionary feeling that they were better than the Holy City.

That was why Messai wanted to keep her distance from that Chaos Demon and the things he created.

But, she needed to protect the Saintess’s safety.

“As you desire, Milady.” Messai made a knight salute toward Saintess Herolia and gently placed her hand on Herolia’s palm.
