Chapter 536: 541, despair
Myrcella had been trying to calm herself down during this period of time.
Her mentor, the ascetic, had taught her that a real warrior would not change his expression even if the blade was pointed at his glabella.
But unfortunately, Myrcella was not able to reach such a state.
When she thought of the 100,000 people in the holy city who could be sacrificed by the judges with some evil magic array in the next second, Myrcella could not sleep for the whole night.
On the other hand, the saintess that she served, Gloria, was so calm that she even made arrangements for the movie theater at this time.
“Put the poster there for the time being. Everyone, please build the theater first.”
Gloria commanded the missionaries in the movie theater to start the decorations.
The newly built movie theater in the holy city was still some distance away from Nolan’s White Thorn Theater.
After all, this cinema had been renovated by the Pope’s prayer hall, and the projection hall was still used as a prayer room.
In order to place the screen, Gloria even removed the statue of the god in the prayer room.
Only Gloria would dare to commit such a heinous act without any scruples.
“Myrcella, do you still remember what happened yesterday?”
While Gloria was commanding the missionaries in a way that could be described as ‘kind’, she also noticed that Myrcella’s expression was a little gloomy.
“The sacrifice of the commander and the others?”
Myrcella was a little unwilling to recall the scene yesterday.
“Their sacrifice is not meaningless. At least I’ve caught the clues of the judges. There are two places in total. Your mentor, the ascetics, has led the Holy Church’s army to the place where the judges might be hiding.”Gloria pointed at the ground under her feet. “The second place is here, but I’m not sure if it’s this movie theater or the street outside. Myrcella… I need to use your eyes to find the judges.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Messiah had only heard about Heloria’s plan today, but out of all the missionaries she had come into contact with, Messiah did not feel anything out of the ordinary.
The time continued until noon. With Heloria’s encouragement and a smile, the missionaries finally completed the layout of the cinema.
“I’ve witnessed everyone’s hard work today. Next, let this building be presented to the world with a brand new look.”
Under the instructions of the SAINTESS, the first cinema in the sacred city began its first day of operation.
Messiah also followed Gloria to a room on the second floor of the cinema.
Gloria stood there and could see the scenery of the cinema’s entrance and lobby through the window.
This was an excellent surveillance location.
Messiah also closed her eyes and focused her attention on using her ‘third eye’, which was gifted to her, to sense the people who walked into the cinema.
“Have you found them?”
“No.”
Myrcella’s gaze swept across the people in the theater. The gray fog on their bodies was so small that it was almost undetectable.
“Let’s wait. This is the only entrance to the depths of the theater. I’ve engraved a ‘shackle’on the wall of this building. If anyone barges in, I’ll be the first to know.”
”…”
Myrcella closed his eyes and continued to expand the range of his perception, but he still found nothing.
..
Bishop Kobler sat not far away from the Pope’s prayer hall.
‘brand, it’s time to act. Go… For the glory of the Lord.’
A hoarse voice rang in Bishop Kobler’s mind. ‘brand’was his name in the court of heresy.
He closed his eyes and countless voices echoed in his mind. There were women and men. They kept whispering in Kobler’s ears, and some were shouting hysterically.
Ever since he became a judge, he had heard these crazy voices every day.
‘It’s not easy for the brand to extend your second life.’
The hoarse voice sounded in Kobler’s mind again, accompanied by the burning pain on his back.
He was the commander of the Third Legion of the Sacred Army, a hero respected by tens of thousands of people.
However, he was attacked by a monster that was so powerful that he was on the verge of death. He had to rely on the power of the holy light to barely return to the sacred city.
Before he died, Kobler made a choice, and that was to become a member of the adjudicator.
The power of the adjudicator did heal him, but it put shackles on him, branded him, and made him a slave of the gray fog.
Bishop Kobler took out a bottle of gray potion, which was a kind of suppressive potion.
The adjudicator who was severely eroded by the gray fog could no longer get comfort from the singing of the choir. Only this strange medicine could alleviate his pain.
The pain in his mind was unbearable, but his trembling hands could not hold the bottle at all.
In the end, Bishop Kobler bit the glass bottle in a frenzy and drank the gray liquid along with the glass shards.
At this time, the pain in his mind was alleviated a lot.
‘very good, brand forward. Recently, there is a shortage of supplies. You need to perform well enough to have new supplies.’
Bishop Kubler supported his body and used the power of a judge to become an ordinary male human. He walked towards the Pope’s prayer hall in the distance.
He tried to resist and tried many ways, but the final result would only make the ‘chains’around his body tighter.
And even if he stood on the side of the sacred city, he did not think that the SAINTESS would accept him as a hero to save the people.
He would face the fate of being executed.
Therefore, he understood that regardless of whether it was the judge or the sacred city, it was meaningless to struggle in any way.
Right now, the only thing Bishop Kobler could do was to use this method to stay alive.
‘is the apprentice of the ascetic really nearby? Unfortunately, the brand… that bottle of potion can make you become like an ordinary person in a certain period of time. Please complete your mission as soon as possible.’
Bishop Cobler walked into the Hall. After stepping into it, he realized that the layout of the hall had completely changed.
Although he had heard from the spies that Gloria was transforming the hall, it had nothing to do with their plan.
Bishop Cobler walked quickly to the place in his memory, but when he was about to enter the prayer room, a missionary stopped him.
His identity was exposed? Bishop Kubler was ready to fight.
“Sir, please go to the front to buy movie tickets,”the missionary said to Bishop Kubler with a smile.
Movie… tickets?
Bishop Kubler remembered that he had vaguely heard of this term. He looked at the hall in the distance.
A group of people were standing in front of a counter and waiting to buy something.
He did not have the patience to queue up now, but the sight behind him made Bishop Kubler unable to do anything excessive.
He had no choice but to obediently blend into the crowd. After waiting for more than two minutes, he finally came to the counter.
“Currently, there are two movies being screened. Which one would you like to watch?”
The female ticket seller was obviously trained. She skillfully asked the customer in front of her.
The movie… The Trick of the chaos demon. was the Saintess in cahoots with the demon?
Bishop Kobler had no time to think about this. He glanced at the two posters handed over by the ticket seller.
The name of the movie on the posters was not what he was concerned about. What he was concerned about was where they were.
“I want tickets to the first screening room,”he said impatiently.
“Shawshank Redemption, right? 30 silvers.”
After Bishop Kobler paid for the ticket, he took the ticket and followed the crowd to the first screening room.
