Chapter 121

After frequenting the Hearthstone Tavern for over a month, Messai had grown a sense of terror toward ‘singing.’

The reason for that was because those dwarves were the only people that would sing in the tavern. They would always loudly sing with excitement whenever they opened a legendary card.

But, those dwarves singing voices were so terrible. Every time Messai heard their singing, she wanted to flip the tables, shout at them and demand a duel outside the tavern!

Because of that, Messai would generally go to the tavern to play a couple rounds of Hearthstone in the morning to noon..

When night comes, the dwarves would finish their work and come to the tavern to drink and play cards in a massive group. During that period of time, her esteemed teacher Desireless would be the one monitoring that Chaos Demon.

But, during these couple days, Desireless was in the Patent Office and studying some sort of ‘new knowledge’ with his old friend. With no choice, Messai ended up having to give the mission of monitoring the Chaos Demon to other templars.

In the end, those templars ended up becoming addicted like her.

Messai entered the tavern before the inquisitors. She saw a colleague of hers having a heated match against a mage. Furthermore, he was using the Rogue class hero Valeera. He was about to win.

No! This was not the time for her to be focused on that sort of thing.

Messai swept her gaze across the Hearthstone Tavern. Since the exhibition at the World Expo, many more mages became the tavern’s customers. During the morning, most of the customers were mages.

Soon, Messai caught sight of the source of the singing she heard outside the tavern.

It was an elf. The elf was standing on a stage at the corner of the tavern. That stage seemed to be something constructed at the last minute. Originium crystals inscripted with the illumination runes were lightning up the stage.

Through an voice amplification originium stone, her voice slowly reverberated through the entire tavern.

Messai had never heard the song that the elf was singing.

Her singing voice had a special sort of magical power. The song calmed down Messai’s anger from meeting the rough and irrational inquisitors of the Heresy Tribunal.

Messai had only heard a singing voice like that in the Nation of the Holy Church’s Holy City.

It was the saintess Herolia’s choir’s hymn. Whenever Messai heard their singing in the Holy City, she would feel all negative emotions being expelled from her mind.

And now, she was actually hearing a song that could produce the same sort of effect in a tavern of all places. That said, the result was not as shocking as the singing in the Holy City.

Messai’s line of sight did not remain on that elf for too long because she soon caught sight of Joshua.

Even though the templars, enemies of the demons, were present in his tavern, Joshua would still appear in his tavern without any regard.

Joshua also noticed Messai looking at him. He turned around to look back at her.

Messai immediately shifted her gaze away from his. She was feeling extremely complicated. Deep in her heart was a voice telling her ‘Joshua shouldn’t be here. If he’s not here, the Heresy Tribunal wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.’

But, the righteousness in her heart was telling her ‘that dangerous demon should be quickly brought to justice!’

Seeing Messai’s gaze shifting away from him, Joshua looked past her. He noticed that the female knight seemed to be subconsciously pointing something out to him... Because of that, he noticed three unfamiliar faces had appeared in the tavern.

“Ciri, can you stay here and look after the tavern today?”

Joshua retrieved his gaze and turned around to speak to the female mage.

“Wha? Isn’t Mrs. Melina here?”

As sharp as she is, Ciri immediately noticed the true purpose behind Joshua’s words. She tightened her grasp of her staff and spoke to Joshua quietly, “Let’s be reasonable. I think that, compared to staying in the tavern, it is safer to stay with you. Even if something is to happen, I will be able to drag you with me.”

Joshua and Ciri were both whispering.

Standing on the stage Joshua constructed at the last minute, Tylene managed to capture the attention of many customers in the tavern the moment she began singing.

She was singing a slowed down version of ‘Let It Go.’ Accompanying her singing voice was a musical instrument she picked up somewhere in the tavern.

Even though the performance was quite sudden, it brought unexpectedly good results.

The Frost Elf’s singing voice really does possess some sort of ‘magical power.’ Singing a slowed version of ‘Let It Go,’ all the traits of her voice were brought forth perfectly.

By the time the female knight walked in, Tylene was approaching the end of the song.

The moment the Frost Elf finished her song, many of the customers began to applaud her singing.

Feeling slightly restless, Tylene slowly walked down the stage. She walked over to Joshua and waited for his response.

She did not forget that this was the assessment test he gave her.

“Your singing has surpassed the original song. By original song, I’m talking about the one sung by Belle in the performance. But, when compared to the real original song, you’re missing some outstanding music to accompany your singing.”

The Frost Elf was most definitely well suited to be nurtured as a singer. Her singing voice was simply magical.

The customers in the tavern seemed to want to hear more of Tylene’s singing too. Even though Tylene did not mention who she was, she was able to sense that the World Tree seed had received some nourishment from while she was performing the song.

Unfortunately, the nourishment that could be obtained by performing in a tavern was simply too little. Tylene needed a much grander stager.

“You’re qualified. It’s about time for the filming of ‘Léon: The Demon.’ You should return to inform your friends that you’re safe.”

Joshua was not planning to continue to stay in the tavern. But, there were several customers that were unwilling to let the Frost Elf leave.

“I forbid you from stopping...!”

An irritable voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the tavern. A man stood forth. He was holding his forehead with a painful expression on his face.

The sudden and clearly crazed voice caused the Frost Elf beside Joshua to take several steps back.

But, before Joshua could do anything, a seemingly old mage sitting beside that man patted his shoulder, “Young man, don’t be this irritable...”

Voices poking fun at that man began to sound in the tavern. But, it was true that Tylene had a stunning singing voice and was also beautiful. Some of the mages present might even act like him if they were ten years younger.

In fact, some of the younger mages were already planning to hit on Tylene.

“Scram!”

But, that man seemed to have lost his reason. He shook off the old man’s hand from his shoulder and walked toward the Frost Elf.

At this moment, nearly half of the Hearthstone players in the tavern, whether they be humans or dwarves, all stopped playing and stood forth. The atmosphere in the tavern immediately tensed up.
