The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 27 War
Walking out of the bank, Snow dipped his finger in his saliva while counting the large stack of banknotes in his hand happily.

That's right, another 1000 pounds. That guy Comui has enough funds in his hands. Cutting off his useless and messy research projects will be enough for Snow to eat his mouth full of oil.

Right now, behind Snow is the Indy branch of the largest bank in Fog City. It should be said that it is truly a black sect with a big family and a big business.

In less than half an hour after making a phone call, he was able to receive such a large sum of money directly from Indy, which had crossed a continent. It's still a thick thigh.

"It is estimated that Komui is rolling on the ground with anger, but unfortunately I couldn't see that scene, otherwise it would bring me more happiness than the 1000 pounds."

With a satisfied face, Snow refilled the dozen pounds into his empty wallet, and then boarded the ship bound for Cairo.

I hope this journey can go smoothly, and let him return to Wudu——it's no wonder.

But this time it wasn't because there were demons eyeing him, but because of the war that was breaking out near the Suez Canal.

That's right, it is a war between humans and humans. On both sides of the canal, there are two small duchies, independent duchies that did not exist in previous history.

But now the two parties are fighting for the ownership of the canal, and a full-scale war is breaking out, so Snow's cruise ship is directly detained on the Red Sea.

"What? To requisition our ship, do you know who this ship belongs to?"

The captain looked at the soldiers in front of them in disbelief, but these Qiu Ba didn't care how big their backstage was. After firing a shot at the captain's feet, the captain obediently handed over his cruise ship to the other party.

Now the two duchies are obviously fighting for real, and they are so red-eyed that even if the Queen stands in front of them, she would still dare to shoot them down.

So Snow followed the passengers in a daze and was kicked off the ship.

Was this era so chaotic?

Snow had discovered before that the world map was very different from his impression, and wars always broke out in various places, so he didn't take it seriously at first.

But this time the haze of the war actually came to him.

"Damn! I still have three [INNOCENCE] on me! Without the boat, can I swim back?"

Snow's face was full of panic, and it would be more dangerous if these things were left on him for one more day. He didn't have the strength of the marshal of the sect.

Now he is one continent away from Wudu, and he is detained in this unfamiliar place. If it is more violent, he may have to be forcibly arrested and sent to be cannon fodder.

"That I am the exorcist of the Black Order, and I have a special mission. Can you please let me go there first?"

Snow tried to hand over his ID to see if he could accommodate the other party.

But as expected, his documents were thrown aside.

"What black sect, white sect, the two sides are fighting now, even if God comes, he can't get through it..."

The soldier pushed Snow away impatiently, then got on the boat and left with a gun on his back...

You are so rude!
Even though that's what he said, Snow couldn't blow the other party's head off with [Sacred Devil Slaughter Flame]!

Not to mention that the other party is a human being, even if the exorcist has the magical power of [INNOCENCE], it is probably not enough for Snow to single out an entire army.

Not far ahead should be the battlefield between the two duchies, and Snow could even hear the roar of machine guns and artillery.

It seemed that there was no way to pass here anyway, Snow had no choice but to walk into a town in front of him.

Although a lot of people may have been moved here because of the war, but one or two hotels can still be found as a place to stay.

The side that Snow is currently on is called the Principality of the Rhine, while the one on the other side is called the Principality of Beto. The upper echelons of the two principalities have had long-standing grievances, and this time the war finally broke out.

"That...is anyone there?"

Snow pushed open the door of a hotel. There are not many residents on the roads of this town now. It is estimated that most of them have moved away to avoid the war.

"Yes... Do you want to stay in a hotel? There is no bargaining for fifteen liels a day."

Maybe it was because of the war, the boss didn't seem to be in a good mood, even if there were guests, he still seemed to ignore them.

Snow understood the other party's mood.

He took out ten pounds from his pocket and patted them on the table, but he didn't know what the current exchange rate between the two currencies was, but as the strongest currency in circulation in Europe, the money must have allowed him to live for a while. Should be no problem.

Seeing that what Snow took out was British pounds, the boss's eyes lit up. There is a war going on outside, and the value of the currency is very unstable. The British pound from the other party can be regarded as hard currency.

"Come, come...my lord, please come inside."

This change of face was so typical that even Snow couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart for the thick skin of the other party.

Since he's an eye for money, it's easy to handle.

Snow simply pulled out another pound with a denomination of ten yuan, and after patting it on the other side's table, he slowly pushed it over.

"This is a special tip for you. Bring me some delicious food, and then tell me as much as you know about this place and current events."

Snow felt that he should really hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong. Just before that, his right eyelid twitched three times, which made him feel very bad.

Intuition told him that this place was definitely not a good place.

The boss wrinkled his greasy old face and gave a strange laugh, then held down another banknote with his index finger, and slowly pulled it over.

"You have been wronged, oh no! Honorable guest, you really have found the right person, and my good news is second to none in this town.

In fact, this war!I heard it was caused by an assassination. "

According to the boss, the relationship between the Duchy of the Rhine and the Duchy of Beto is not good because of the canal that connects the north and the south.

The upper-level forces on both sides wanted to monopolize it, and the small frictions between the borders were not rare until one day, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Principality of Beto was assassinated by the Principality of the Rhine.

So the Grand Duke of the Principality of Beto was furious, and he personally stood up and declared war on the Principality of the Rhine a few days ago, and immediately mobilized the army and launched an all-out war, which caught the Rhine by surprise.

The Principality of Rhine also issued a statement immediately, saying that the other party was just framing them and looking for excuses for aggression.

But no matter what, it can be said that the Rhine is retreating steadily now, otherwise the residents of this small town would not have run away so many.

"This time, the Archduke of the Rhine took a lot of effort to win the hearts of the people. Although the casualties on the front line were heavy, the Grand Duke still insisted on returning the remains of the frontline soldiers to their families at his own expense.

And the pension is also paid enough. "

The boss sighed.

"A few days ago, the Grand Duke also delivered a speech, saying that they will definitely win this war, and the Principality's Princess Tolia Rhine even went to the front line to condolences to the wounded!

But not many people care about it anymore, and everyone doesn't want to fight anymore, even if they lose.After all, change the ruler and live as usual, right? "

The boss said helplessly, this is the way this world is, if those upper-class nobles can collude with the capital, how can they control the life and death of ordinary people?
Even if they really got the canal, ordinary people wouldn't get a penny from it, but now they have to pay their lives for something that doesn't belong to them.

"Then is there a way, or another way for me to bypass this war-torn land!"

Snow is not interested in the affairs of these countries or gossip. He only wants to return to the Black Order as soon as possible.

"There is such a road, but you have to go through a special small town on the Rhine, then go through a section of desert, and then go north to a small port city. There should be ships there, and they are not locked. .

However, the problem lies in that town, which has now been requisitioned by Rhine as a logistics medical base. "

The boss thought about it, and then replied.

　Slow tempo...

　　But for the diversity stories in the anime, should I insert two of them!
