The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

Chapter 99 The Beginning of the Blockade

What kind of sleep is this? No matter how good I am at sleeping, it shouldn't be like this.

Really...

Theresa muttered to herself, walked to the window, opened it and took a look. It was still pitch black outside. The difference from before was that all the knights had left. The work speed was really fast.

It’s not dawn yet.

Theresa closed the window again and lay down on the bed. She had been tossed back and forth three times.

So she could only curl up in bed, her legs gently clamped around a fluffy pillow, her face expressionless, her chin gently rubbing the pillow, as if she was sulking.

She helped out with good intentions, but was lectured by Akzhan in front of so many people. She had no face, so she would definitely be called someone's child.

But the cherry did emit that scent for a moment just now, although after being crushed it was indeed the sweet scent of cherry.

Anyway, something did happen just now. The Fire Man actually sneaked in. The missing people must be caused by them.

After all, if he could make flames burn an ordinary person, he could easily make someone leave this world for no reason.

Things are going to be troublesome these days.

......

There was a knock on the door, breaking the morning silence.

"Wake up, Miss Theresa."

Who is it?

Theresa thought dazedly, but found herself falling into a deep sleep again.

The scene of tidying up the room last night due to insomnia was still vivid in her mind, but now she felt like being dragged into the abyss by something. It must be the dark hand that fell asleep and pulled her along with it.

She stepped barefoot on the warm blanket and walked towards the door.

"Good morning, Miss Theresa. Please get dressed quickly. We all need to go downstairs for identification registration and inspection."

Qiao Mary said this politely, then turned to the next room to continue her work.

Theresa looked over and saw people walking out of their rooms and heading downstairs.

Although she was full of doubts, she quickly dressed and followed everyone to the hall.

"Hey, man, did you see that fire last night? It was really bright! I was working late, and then there was a flash of fire in front of the window, and then there were all these knights!"

"Of course I know. Yesterday, I was hiding under the covers and secretly reading a book. When I got to the most exciting part, I was about to burst out. But then there was a loud noise, which scared me to death. I still haven't recovered from it."

"Brother, what book are you reading? Come closer and talk."

The crowd in the hall was still whispering about the strange scene at night. Fortunately, due to the knights' quick response, most people only remembered the sound and the fire, and did not realize the truth behind it.

A figure in silver-white armor slowly stepped into the center, each step accompanied by the crisp sound of metal colliding.

"Please be silent, free adventurers. I bring you dire news. Some vile heretics have recently infiltrated our country, and they are extremely dangerous. Therefore, the Church of Light will be increasing its vigilance over the next three days, conducting day and night patrols to eliminate these threats. During this time, I'm afraid you will need to remain within our borders. However, rest assured, we arrested several suspects last night, and we anticipate that the lockdown will be secure in two more days. We've summoned you here to register and reimburse your expenses for two days."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking again.

As the knight commander, he also understood very well what a two-day blockade meant.

This means that everyone in this area will have their freedom restricted for two days, which is undoubtedly the biggest punishment for the free adventurers in the guild.

"Huh? Why is it only closed for two days? Can't it be closed for a few more days? Wouldn't that give us a day off, and all expenses would be reimbursed! Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah! I can find a reason to ask for leave. That's great! The weather is so hot, I've been wanting to rest for a long time."

"Two days' expenses reimbursed? No regrets allowed! Brothers! Let's have a party tonight!"

The Knight Commander looked at the jubilant crowd with a bewildered look on his face. Why were they so happy?

Isn't this a punishment for them? Adventurers have always claimed freedom as their main goal. He had already prepared the wording of his apology.

Theresa saw the Knight Commander's bewildered expression and probably guessed something about the situation.

Times have changed adults!

She originally thought that everyone in the guild was extremely eager and would rush to get all the orders.

In the end, we find that they are busy for a while, and then have a relaxing time for a while. In layman's terms, they are classic moonlighters. Now it's almost the end of the month, and their money is almost spent, so they are naturally happy.

Also, when nothing has happened, people tend to be immersed in the trivialities of daily life and turn a blind eye to potential risks.

They may feel that disasters and misfortunes are always far away until they actually happen. Only then will people realize that something has happened.

There's nothing I can do about it. It's just like that after being comfortable for too long.

If she hadn't been in danger of being captured, she would have given up and laid down long ago.

However, there were still some people who knew this and raised questions to the Knight Commander.

"Wait, what are the characteristics of those pagans? What should we do if we encounter them?"

This question was crucial. The Knight Commander spoke in a serious tone, "This is a matter of life and death. Everyone, listen carefully! First, their main characteristic is their eyes—that deep, blood-red color. It's not just red pupils, but a flash of red light. If you spot such a person, report them immediately. There's still a chance to save them. Now is a critical moment. Even those with red eyes must be reported!"

After hearing the Knight Commander's important instructions, everyone's attitude immediately became serious. No one dared to neglect such a matter of life and death.

At this point, Theresa had quickly completed the necessary procedures, collected the funds, and hurriedly left the guild.

She is an experienced person. At times like this, supplies must be stockpiled in advance. Although the lockdown period is only two days, it is always better to take precautions.

Even if the knights patrolled the streets closely, what if something unexpected happened?

She had personally experienced battles with those fire people and had some understanding of their true power.

At that time, we had Black Hand to help us deal with it. Now that Black Hand can’t get out, we must be a little more cowardly.

While there is no one on the streets now, I'll hurry up and buy some food. I'll just lie at home for the next two days.

So Theresa bought some food and water. There might be some in the guild, but they were probably brought in from outside.

She originally wanted to buy some herbs that could be used to treat burns, but they had all been sold out, and the remaining batch would have to wait for a while before it could be delivered.

She had been planning to prepare some for treatment, but it seems someone was one step ahead of her.

I hope that person won’t take advantage of this opportunity to sell it at a high price.
