Chapter 159



Chapter 159

The Mage Forum does indeed possess the means to record one’s writings.

That was something Cheryl had already tested.

She placed her yellowed diary on the desk and opened the first page. As it was written a long time ago, the writings on the first page were already starting to become indistinct.

Perhaps only Cheryl herself was able to excerpt her diary’s first page.

Cheryl decided to transfer the entire content of her diary to the Mage Forum before it was completely gnawed away by rats or turned into a pile of useless mush from dampness.

During her years as an inquisitor, she had seen too many inquisitors that ended up losing themselves. The most terrifying aspect about those crazed mutterings was not how they could drive one insane. Instead, it was how they could deprive the inquisitors of their humanity and turn them into living corpses.

Because of that, Cheryl does not wish to lose a single page from her diary for they were the proof that she, Sister Cheryl Skotan, was alive and not an enslaved hound of the church.

Cheryl found a sub-forum called the ‘Motionless Library.’ Judging from the explanations provided for this sub-forum, it was especially created to give the users of the Mage Forum a place to share their writings.

Strictly speaking, a diary was a kind of creative writing.

The virtual keyboard appeared before Cheryl’s eyes. She began to clumsily tap on the keys to create a new post – ‘Diary of an Inquisitor.’

‘The days of serving the Saintess finally came to an end. The reason for that was because of the newly built stone sculpture’s unexpected collapse. I was unfortunate enough to lose my legs in the process. I’ve prayed to the gods in hope that I could obtain relief to my sufferings and... I’ve received a god’s response. But, the god I saw was not quite the same as the one I imagined...’

Cheryl began to recall her past memories. The experience she felt in the ceremony to become an inquisitor was truly wondrous. After accepting the power granted by the Holy Church, that power will be able to heal all one’s wounds.

That was also the reason why Cheryl was willing to become an inquisitor... But, she knew that power was extremely suspicious. At least, the power from the God of Holy Light and Justice, Monicar, shouldn’t take the form of lumps of gray mist.

After Cheryl finished writing her first diary article, she tapped ‘submit.’

Typing out words using a virtual keyboard was a novel experience for Cheryl. Because of that, she began writing her second article. But, not long after, Cheryl found a couple unfamiliar replies below her diary.

‘Is the writer of the diary truly an inquisitor from the Holy Church?’ Replied by: Loskru

‘Judging from the writing, what cured that young nun’s legs shouldn’t be magic from the Holy Light System.’ Replied by: Missionary of Radiant Light

The first reply seemed to be from a random audience who didn’t know about the truth. The second replier seemed to have determined Cheryl’s diary entry that something fishy was going on in that ceremony to become an inquisitor.

Cheryl was startled by the two replies. She never expected for there to be people reading her diary.

But, the Motionless Library sub-forum didn’t have many posts to begin with.

Cheryl believed that her diary was very boring. But... there were a lot of people interested in her story.

‘The Holy Church’s executioners are using the Mage Forum too?!’ Replied by: Blackiron Longsword

‘What executioner? The author is only a pitiful little girl. That said, may I know if there will be any follow-ups?” Replied by: Ash-colored Owl

The successive replies gave Cheryl a sudden boost of motivation to continue writing. She did not expect for there to be that many people following her diary. Those people were even publishing their own opinions toward her diary.

Even though a lot of people in this world knew about the Holy Church’s Heresy Tribunal, the Heresy Tribunal was a secret organization in and of itself. Thus, the amount of information related to it was pitifully few.

Most information regarding the Heresy Tribunal were unreliable rumors. Cheryl’s ‘Diary of an Inquisitor’ served to immensely satisfy the people’s curiosity.

Cheryl decided to continue writing. She did not bother to concern with the confidentiality issue with her diary at all...

She was not one of those zealot inquisitors who devoted and consecrated their entire life to the church. Those people were the church’s most loyal and most vicious hounds.

The relationship between Cheryl and the Heresy Tribunal was one of mutual-exploitation. She would carry out missions for the Heresy Tribunal and the Heresy Tribunal will provide her with the choir’s hymns.

But now, the choir’s hymns have been completely replaced by Hearthstone.

She had only returned to the Heretic Tribunal to bring her friends out of this damned place and escape to Norland to live peaceful lives. They would no longer have to be accompanied by slaughter and blood on the daily.

Because of that, Cheryl was not concerned with unmasking the shameful side of the Heresy Tribunal to the public before her departure.

After being received so enthusiastically, Cheryl began her own writing on the Mage Forum. At the same time she wrote her diary, she also deliberately altered the portions that will reveal her identity.

Cheryl spent over two hours and finished writing and uploading close to a month’s worth of diary. When she finished writing, she discovered that there were over thirty people replying to her posts.

‘The power of the inquisitors came from Aglier? Which system’s god is that?’ Replied by: Longfrost Hammer

‘Young lady, you’ve actually participated in the White Creek Duchy’s assassination? That’s something from sixty years ago...’ Replied by: Ash-colored Owl

‘What ended up happening to the first inquisitor Dwig?’ Replied by...

The number of replies gradually increased. A ‘recommended’ symbol also appeared next to the post ‘Diary of an Inquisitor.’

Cheryl currently had no idea what that symbol meant. She skimmed through all the replies before exiting out of the ‘Motionless Library.’ She returned to the Mage Forum’s home page.

As if it was a coincidence, her post ‘Diary of an Inquisitor’ was on the top of the home page.

When she saw her diary appearing on the home page, two words appeared in Cheryl’s mind — ‘Oh no!’

.........

Norland. Outside the Hearthstone Tavern’s Noiseless Room.

Tylene was sitting inside the Noiseless Room and reciting her elven epic. In order to not disturb her, both Joshua and Ciri walked out the Noiseless Room.

While outside, Joshua saw an interesting post in the ‘Motionless Library.’ Naturally, the post in question was ‘Diary of an Inquisitor.’

That post that appeared in the Motionless Library could totally be read like a novel. Joshua also hoped for the writer to be able to continue posting.

After all, ‘Diary of an Inquisitor’ revealed a lot of shameful matters the Holy Church did.

Right now, the information that was revealed included: the inquisitors do not believe in the Holy Light. Instead, they believed in another god or something else by the name of Aglier.

“Who would’ve expected I’ll obtain a payback from striking into the enemy’s camp this quickly.”

Joshua directly added the ‘Diary of an Inquisitor’ as a ‘recommended’ post.’ At the same time, he added a reply to the post too.

‘Please update.’
