Chapter 66
The demon managed to escape from Messai’s field of vision.
In this street filled with people, trying to pursue a petite little girl was not an easy task.
Moreover, the templars would always do things openly. Because of that, they were truly amateurs in tailing people.
“The shackles failed? From the aura emitted by that demon, she shouldn’t possess the power enough to rid the shackles.”
Messai was rapidly walking on the street. Even though that demon had escaped from her field of vision, she could still attempt to find it using her innate sensitivity toward demons.
That sensity that she was born with, her sixth sense for demons, was Messai’s strongest weapon. Messai was completely confident in her ‘third eye.’
“Lady Messai, it seemed like someone had helped that demon.”
The radiance of the adjutant’s staff had grown much dimmer. He was the one who utilized that restrictive magic from a long distance.
“This place is Norland and not your Nation of the Holy Church, Messai. There exists a law in Norland — all the citizens of Norland, regardless of their race, have the right to live in the city. Miss knight, if you insist on continuing to threaten my employee… I’m afraid that I will have to settle this issue according to the laws of Norland.”
That was the reason why Joshua dared to send Ynor to study in the university. It was very difficult to obtain citizenship in Norland. Of the many troublesome ways to obtain citizenship, buying real estate in the city was one of them.
Nominally, as Melina’s adopted son, Ynor had received Norland’s citizenship rights the moment he entered university.
“This matter had nothing to do with the laws! Demons will bring chaos upon this city! We templars of the Holy Church will not let any demon get away!”
Unfortunately, the Nation of the Holy Church was not a parliamentary nation. Instead, it was a theocracy. To them, faith lies above the law.
The noisiness of the tavern caused Messai to become incapable of thinking in a cool-headed manner.
“You mean to say that you’re determined to arrest my employee in my tavern?” asked Joshua.
“Of course. Believe me… demons will only bring threat upon you.”
Messai doesn’t desire for an ordinary human to involve himself in this matter. She was trying to persuade Joshua to hand Ynor over to her without conflict.
“That’s quite scary indeed. But, I think we will resist till the end. But, before that, could we have my guests leave this place first? They’re uninvolved in this matter.”
Joshua was diligently playing the role of a tavern owner that was being threatened. At the same time, he was playing a tavern owner who cared a lot about his customers. As he spoke, he pointed to the dwarves playing Hearthstone.
