People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

[The "Holy Maiden" has sent people into the "Library", what should we do next?Need a shot to stop them? 】

"'Library'...is it for the 'Original Code'?"

The man shook his head. Although France did maintain a lot of "original scriptures", at this time there was no magician in France who could actually display the power of the "original scriptures".

To put it simply, "Original Code" is a burning red peerless sword for France, but the problem now is that no one can swing it before their hands are burned to ashes.

[Boss, what should we do now? 】

"Send some more people to stare at the 'library'. No matter what they want to do, we have enough power to deal with it. By the way, what happened to the body? Have you found those guys?"

The man sitting in the office used his mobile phone to communicate with his subordinates. Looking at the late night lights in Paris, the man's inner irritability calmed down a lot.

[Not found yet, all members of the 'Story Compiler' have disappeared.We haven't found any trace of each other yet.Also, according to the 'informant' report, there is a follow-up to the unknown attack on the Louvre some time ago. 】

"Have you found the culprit?"

[No, but the remains of the twenty magicians stationed in the Louvre Museum have all been found. Their bodies have been made into collections and hidden in the museum, so they have not been noticed. 】

The man stroked the golden sword in his hand.

Although he had been in a stalemate with the "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Country" for nearly ten years, he had never encountered such an outrageous thing.

And now that the corpses are found, it is probably possible to find out what kind of system those people died of.

But this is where it gets the most puzzling.

(Why did those guys leave the corpse? If it was just to sneak into France for the purpose of switching bags, wouldn't it be better to just dispose of the corpse?)

If France finds out that those magicians died at the hands of third-party personnel, wouldn't their existence be exposed?

(Or are those guys trying to frame us? That is, are those guys also French magicians...)

After pondering for a moment, the man once again explained to his subordinates through the gorgeous rotary phone in front of him.

"You continue to stare at the 'Daughter of the Overwhelmed Country'. There is still a chance to contact Sigurd. In the current situation, I am afraid that we have to rely on the hands of 'outsiders' to figure out what happened in France."

【Understood. 】

The subordinate hung up the phone, and the man looked thoughtfully at the golden long sword on his waist.

His mind is a little messed up now. Although the current situation can't be said to be complicated, he always feels that something is wrong.

(Why does that woman, who has always been conservative, seem to be particularly radical recently? The original text of "Library" should be completely meaningless to her. She is obviously a saint who can wield "Durandar", why is she suddenly interested in that? Interested in a manuscript by Gilles de Ray?)

The puzzled man sighed, the situation in France is getting more and more complicated now.

The original plan also had to be reconsidered. After all, if a third party really entered the arena, then he would also have to consider cooperating with the "Daughter of Allure".

He just wants France to come under the control of the Roman Orthodox Church, which means he doesn't want to seize power.

In fact, as long as the "Daughter of the Overwhelming Country" can meet his expectations, even if he goes to the battlefield himself, he will not hesitate.

"I hope I don't need you..."

Touching the long sword at his waist, the man muttered in distress.

On the other hand, the man who couldn't understand the specific meaning of the series of abnormal behaviors of "The Daughter of the Nation" was full of question marks on the other side of the "Daughter of the Nation" who was suddenly discovered by the corpses of 20 people.

"You mean those people all disappeared?"

【yes.Jill, Andrew and Mary and other members in charge of the "library" are missing.The last sighting report was also two days ago. 】

"How about Sigurd? Haven't they come up from below yet?"

[The final response was that they were attacked by the "Execution Wheel".But now the comms are dead, and we're trying to figure out how to get back in touch. 】

"The Daughter of All Over the Country" tapped the edge of the old-fashioned phone with her fingertips anxiously.

Although she wasn't worried that Sigurd would be killed, the current situation in France really confuses her.

First, it was discovered that the magician of the Nordic system had been dealt with, and then he was counterattacked by the self-discipline protection technique underground.

It was as if the opponent had considered all of his own actions from the very beginning, but his hand was brought into the opponent's pace.

Cinderella, Musketeers, "Rebels".

Now there is an extra "Nordic force".

The "Daughter of the Overwhelming Nation" looked at the information gathered at hand, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that some key parts were missing.

Originally, she thought that with Sigurd coming, she would be able to force the other party to act faster, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the other party not only did not act, but instead led to a team that had never acted before and even sneaked into France. Nordic forces".

(It is not difficult to understand that the other party disguised himself as a French magician and sneaked into the spiritual clothing vault, but what is the other party interested in...)

"The Daughter of the Overwhelmed Nation" carefully recalled that the "library" should have nothing special except some "original texts", but considering that those "original texts" cannot be used by the other party, even if it wants to be used as "the oracle of Joan of Arc". ", there should be nothing that can be used anywhere.

(The manuscript of Gilles de Ray? But that thing is really purely about alchemy, and has nothing to do with "Jean of Arc" itself...)

Although for Gilles de Ray, Joan of Arc is the only person who has had a positive influence on him, and the short time with Joan of Arc can be called the best time in his life.

Perhaps that is why, throughout history, he has willingly supported her cause and accepted her advice.

But the result that led to his final defeat was that he still did not want to repent after that, fell into depression, and gradually drifted away on the road out of control.

And that "manuscript" is also the black magic learned by Gilles de Ray in order to continue to live a luxurious life through alchemy.

Although there have always been rumors that Joan of Arc is a very special existence to Jill, whether it is in the story or historical records, the relationship between the two is just a comrade-in-arms who agree with each other. About "Jill learned black magic to revive Zhen The "Germany" statement is also pure nonsense.

(Could it be...)

Thinking of "alchemy", "The Daughter of the Overwhelmed Country" suddenly thought of a certain possibility.

Although the other party once claimed to have found the long-lost "Joyeuse", there is no record of what the French holy sword that has been lost for many years is like, and what specific effects it has.

And "the other party holds 'Joyeuse'" is just a pure assumption, maybe the other party is simply bluffing in order to maintain the stalemate between the two sides in order to gain more opportunities.

"Immediately send someone to inform Sigurd to go to the 'library'. Tell him that the other party's purpose is probably to borrow the 'manuscript' to refine the materials needed to create 'Joyeuse'."

[We have not been able to get in touch with Sigurd for the time being, should we send someone down? 】

"That's right, send someone down to find them immediately. And immediately notify the magician stationed in the 'library' to provide alert. I am afraid that the purpose of the other party's leaving these miscellaneous reports is to attract Sigurd's attention so that they Capable of capturing Gilles de Ray's alchemical 'manuscript'."

[Understood, we will immediately send people into the ground. 】

The communication was interrupted, and the "Daughter of Allure" who was sitting on the seat looked at the holy sword "Durandar" behind her.

"I hope I won't use you..."

Chapter 210 Three: Cinderella and Dumas

"Is it really okay for us to be so leisurely?"

"Please don't worry about Ms. Cinderella. Our location is very safe and hidden. Even if a 'Saint' lady stands in front of you, it is impossible to find us."

Wearing a gown composed of layers of unknown material, the blond girl Cinderella is wearing underwear that tightly wraps her body and is used to correct her body like a diving suit. From her collarbone to her knees, she is covered with synthetic fibers.

At this time, she was communicating with another person in an RV on the side of the road.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, the man wearing a prom mask looked at the small car window covered by the blinds. Directly opposite the car window was the hotel arranged by France for Sigurd and Hasekura Lengli to live in.

"But is it really okay for us to do this? I mean, that kid is just an innocent student, right? She doesn't even know that the magical side exists, although it doesn't necessarily..."

Cinderella seemed to be a little apprehensive, looking worriedly at the room on the top floor of the hotel where the lights had been turned off for a long time.

"Please relax, ma'am, we didn't mean to hurt that lady. In fact, in the best case, we will protect her, right? After all, we can't rule out that the cruel 'saint' won't threaten her. A brave mercenary."

"But if we have to, then..."

"Are you worried about Academy City or that mercenary?"

"You should understand that if the two of us meet that mercenary head-on, if he wants you and I will not be able to retreat unscathed even if we risk our lives."

Cinderella shook her head after speaking.

"No, in fact we will definitely die, right? I could feel it in the Palace of Versailles before, he just wanted to catch me, but in your cover, he was completely unscathed, and he deliberately let us go."

"So I just said that the brave mercenary is not a bad guy. In fact, I have no problem calling him a 'hero'. After all, his deeds and conduct are the same in any novel. The perfect choice for the protagonist."

Cinderella sighed, and didn't seem to have much rebuttal to the mercenary's lines.

"But still the same sentence, if we are hostile to him, it is impossible for us to defeat him, and it is even difficult to protect ourselves?"

"One-on-one or encounter situations are indeed right, but if you are fully prepared, I don't think you will lose to him."

"Thank you so much for your trust, but I've already lost, remember the great writer? Just three hours ago?"

Straightening his top hat, the man wearing a prom mask looked at the girl who was rolling her eyes at him.

He shook his head, as if disappointed by his companion's distrust.

"What's wrong with you today, princess of one night who bears the burden of humiliation? Are you so scared that you can't walk before the prince appears? This is not okay. How can you be stage fright before the 'prom' has started?"

"The prince who almost crushed my head was terrible. There is no part in the story where Cinderella and the prince duel."

"'Crown of Thorns'. Yes, you were almost crushed by a spell that could harm a saint. But you know, that's not a problem, a mere saint is nothing at all."

The man in the top hat spoke excitedly and stood up.

However, because the built-in space of the RV where the two are located is not too empty, and a large number of "props" make the standing position extremely limited.

Taking off the politeness on his head, the man wearing a prom mask declared so proudly.

"I am not someone who can be called a hero. I realize this more clearly than anyone..."

Saying such a rather depressing line, but the man's tone is full of pride, as if this is not a scandal but a legendary story that can be publicized to the world.

With a tone like a bard telling stories from various places, the man saluted Cinderella's girl and spoke peacefully.

"Thus, this led to my magical name 'perhibuit381', which means 'witness the birth of a hero'."

"..."

As if she was used to the man's speech, Cinderella continued to drink the warm black tea in her hand.

After all, the two of them have not had time to take a good rest since they accepted this instruction, so they can only drink black tea to refresh themselves a little.

And similarly, the man didn't feel any loss because of Cinderella's indifference, but continued talking with increasing excitement.

"I am not a hero, but a person who creates, guides and witnesses the birth of a hero! Yes, we will win this victory, save France from the clutches of the Roman Orthodox Church, and lead France to become the fourth power in the world!"

"Augus, I think..."

"Madam, please allow me to correct your wording. My name is Alexandre Augustus Dumas! I would be more than happy if you wished to be shortened and call me 'Dumas'. Perhaps...  Yes, would you be interested in having me write a biography of you?"

"First of all, I still have some doubts about whether you are a descendant of a famous writer. Second, I don't want a biography. In fact, you..."
