People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

The guillotine blade used to execute Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Henry Shire has used various executions, including guillotine and splitting, and the rope used to hang countless executioners.

Charlemagne's wife was lost, but was later found by a French magician.

The wine cup used by Jesus and the eleven disciples after he sent Judas away, also known as the "Holy Grail".

The ring, armor and holy banner once worn by Joan of Arc.

And Sigurd initially thought that the French Marshal Gilles de Ray, who was most likely to be taken away, studied alchemy manuscripts after Joan's execution.

Each of these spiritual items that can cast extraordinary magic is taken out individually, but none of them have been taken away now.

Originally, Sigurd thought that the opponent either wanted to take away the blade with the meaning of "executing the royal family", or used the "Holy Grail" to cooperate with the girl of "Jeanne's Oracle" to mass-produce "Saint".

But now it seems that the other party entered this spiritual equipment vault not only did not take anything away, but even left behind a large magic bomb?

But at this moment, Sigurd suddenly froze.

After a short pause, he threw the directory in his hand to another French magician.

Sigurd came to the hexagonal basalt and carefully observed the lines on it.

And just when the other person, Sigurd, decided to save the two bound magicians first, Sigurd suddenly stood up.

He walked quickly to the place where Gilles de Ray's manuscript was stored, and sprinkled some light yellow powder around from his sleeve.

Spots of light appeared obviously where the powder was sprinkled, and they were concentrated in a certain direction, showing strange lines.

Just when the others couldn't figure out what happened, Sigurd suddenly stood up as if he had suddenly realized.

"Damn, those guys are not only Nordic magicians. I kept thinking 'that guy who transforms the human body into props', but because I ignored the fact that the other party may have multiple actions, I was led astray instead. Which direction... ..”

"That guy? Off the mark? Uh...that, Mr. Sigurd, what are they going to do?"

Although the French knight is at a loss now, he is also very helpless looking at the two companions who are looking at him pitifully.

"That thing uses the Nordic 'rune characters', and even the structure of the spell is indeed in the Nordic style, but the technique is the same as the 'Pharaoh Helicopter', just a boring little trick."

"'Rune Text'? 'Pharaoh Helicopter'?"

The French magicians looked at the four-dimensional pattern on it, not to mention the "rune characters" on it, they once thought it was a pattern implying a certain event in Norse mythology.

As for the "Pharaoh Helicopter", they were confused all of a sudden, and they didn't realize what Sigurd wanted to express at all.

"It's like pasting the text praising Seti I, and then engraving the text praising Ramses II. The reason why these 'rune texts' cannot be seen is because they have been covered and after the second burn, the The glued part just peeled off again."

Because Sigurd was stopped by the other party, he simply walked to the back of the spiritual equipment vault.

After a while of clanging bells, Sigurd seemed to be looking for metal parts in the utility room. From a large pile of spiritual outfits that could drive a small magic association crazy, Sigurd pulled out a plastic-wrapped flag. .

Seeing Sigurd who casually rolled up the flag used by Joan of Arc like a discounted tablecloth in a shopping mall, and then casually threw it to his companion, the knight spoke again.

"Well, don't we help them?"

"Just call someone who knows a little about 'Rune'. I've given you the formulas to solve the problem. If it still blows up, it's not my problem. By the way, that piece of crap in the middle is a combination lock. The bomb was the two unlucky ones who were tied up..."

Without looking back, he left the gate of the spiritual equipment vault. Sigurd had no intention of rescuing the two hapless magicians who were treated as living bombs.

And other people look at me and I look at you, and they don't know what to do for a while.

After a moment of hesitation, the group also left with Sigurd.

After all, it doesn't make sense for them to stay. Although they all know something about "rune characters", they still have no idea what to ask them to decipher.

(Tell Cinderella that they are being tricked. The other party's purpose is to take advantage of the chaos created by their "rebels" and fly to Strasbourg.)

[Strasbourg?Is there anything special about it? 】

(Of course it is special, especially where it is not only the junction of France and Germany. It is also the place where the river flows.)

【The Rhine...】

Chapter 210: Dialogue to the Final Battlefield

With the help of the hidden spells under the streets on both sides, an unpretentious carriage on the outskirts of Paris in the middle of the night is heading towards Strasbourg at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour.

[You mean that the other party's purpose is to borrow the Rhine River to build something?but why?France is not the only area that the Rhine flows through? 】

"Because the other party needs Gilles de Ray. Or more accurately, it is the manuscript of Jean de Fontanelle, the French magician who the French marshal tried to ask for help."

[But what does that guy's manuscript have to do with the Rhine, Nordic magicians, and Egyptian magicians? 】

The one talking to Sigurd is the "Daughter of Allure" who is still far underground in the Palace of Versailles.

She can't leave there at will now due to special reasons, so in order to get reliable information, she can only communicate remotely in this way.

"Nordic black dwarves, the gold of the Rhine. Any junction of two grounds and the manuscript of some French magician who can summon demons."

【Wait a minute, what do you mean they plan to summon in Strasbourg with the help of leylines?but what? 】

Looking at the rapidly receding scenery, Sigurd didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations at all because the other party was having a rather tense conversation. Sigurd, who was calm and unreasonably calm, spoke again.

"'The Oracle of Joan' and 'The Summoning of Demons.' Do you think there is any connection between the two?"

【...】

"Joan of Arc is not a saint because she is a saint, nor is she a saint simply because she can hear an oracle. We have been struggling with the oracle before, but But it failed to pay attention to a more important necessary condition."

【God must exist but utter in order to be heard.But why would an Egyptian magician be interested in a French saint? 】

"It doesn't matter if it's a French saint or not. All they need is a medium. It doesn't matter if it's French or British. They just need an existence that can connect 'god' and 'human'. Whether it's a human or a thing is to them It doesn't matter."

The "Daughter of Allure", who was far away in the Palace of Versailles, subconsciously stopped the pen in hand to sign the document when she heard this.

She frowned, thinking carefully about Sigurd's words just now.

"What about Jean de Fontanelle's manuscript? The summoner should be a demon. Is there such a thing in Egypt? Could it be that they want to summon the Egyptian god of death, Anubis?"

【Anubis or Nephthys.It doesn't matter what the other party wants to summon, because what this manuscript provides them is only something like "spells that can command demons". "Summon the devil from the shadow" should be interpreted as "bind the devil in the shadow, and be able to dispatch it at any time". 】

"Daughter of the Overwhelmed Nation" frowned, and after Sigurd's description, it seemed that things were more troublesome than the "rebels" attacking Paris.

If what Sigurd said is true, then it is not just France that is in danger now.

Once the other party really summoned the gods in Egyptian mythology in Strasbourg and succeeded in the ceremony, then the whole world might be in chaos.

Although the "Daughter of the Overwhelming Country" is a little worried about the situation, so far she has another issue that she cares more about.

"Why can you be so sure that it's not the scheme of the 'rebels'? What if they combined Egyptian magicians and Nordic black dwarfs to create an illusion of 'let us save France'?"

[Because the "Symbol of Sunset" at the "Library" has already contacted the magician of the "Rebel Faction".Although the process was not very friendly, but it did get a piece of information. 】

"The Daughter of the Overwhelming Country" did not ask why a "golden" association started to act without her knowing.

She waited quietly for what Sigurd would say next.

[Their boss gave them instructions to tell the "library" and "contact me", but for some reason, the report that should have been "no abnormality" turned into me attacking them, and even instructed Cinderella to attack the waiting room Hasekura Ryori in the hotel. 】

"I heard the kid disappeared. Was it yours too?"

[It is impossible for me to trust a country that can't even manage its own housework well, and people who can protect Academy City.It is impossible for me to make Academy City a detonator just to prevent France from becoming a fuse. 】

There was no rebuttal, what Sigurd said was the truth.

Even if it meant that Sigurd had introduced immeasurable power into France without telling her, she had no way, nor did she have the position and qualifications to ask Sigurd to report the situation.

After all, if Sigurd hadn't "saved a hand", then under the current circumstances, France and France could basically declare a collapse.

The internal strife has not been resolved, and an "foreign enemy" with almost zero intelligence has appeared. Even if you don't want to admit it, this is beyond what France can bear.

"There's something I need to do."

There is a little self-abandonment, and even the smell of broken jars.

The "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Nation" actually took the initiative to seek instructions from Sigurd.

After all, she doesn't have enough intelligence or fighting power in her hands now.

Even if she played in person, without any information from the other party, she could only run around with "Durandar" in the dark.

The battle on the magic side is an intelligence station, and in a situation of this level, intelligence is extremely important even in the normal world.

But there is nothing in France now, and even the information needs Sigurd, an outsider, and his men have just sneaked into the French "net" to collect it. Regarding such a fact, "The Daughter of the Nation" has unprecedentedly recognized France's role in magic. The fact that it is nothing.

Although she doesn't want to admit it.

[I'm not good at grueling spy battles, but if it's a direct fist-to-hand fight, I'm more familiar with it than anyone else. 】

Before, Sigurd was restrained because he couldn't be brutally beaten in one breath.

But it was different now. The other party was clearly not French, and he was still doing things that might threaten the stability of the magic side.

Then even if Sigurd blows them to pieces, no one will avenge them.

After a short pause, Sigurd continued to talk to the "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Country".

[Also, my people on the "rebels" side have already contacted.You know what to do, it’s obviously not a big deal, you guys insist on making it so complicated...]

After speaking, Sigurd unilaterally cut off the contact.

At the same time, on the desk in front of the "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Country", the quill that had been put down began to move by itself.

Looking at the phone number written in ink on the document, "The Daughter of All Over the Country" smiled wryly and dialed the number to be dealt with with the rotary phone at hand.

In fact, what did the "Daughter of the Overwhelming Country" play?

Ah, we can't deal with them, please help us if you have time.

But how could the Roman Orthodox Church, being a "priestly nobleman", be so kind to help his little brother solve such a big thing? No.

So the Roman Orthodox Church itself is only talking about superficial things, and there is no actual action at all.

And this is what the "Daughter of the Fallen Nation" wants. As long as this "flag" is maintained, as long as France has a chance in the future, it will immediately follow this name and break away from the Roman Orthodox Church. Even the Roman Orthodox Church can't find a reason to say that France Is it "treachery" or "insidious".

After all, if it has been called "leave" for more than ten years, you can't blame others if you don't pay attention to it yourself.

On the other side, he really thought that he was still fighting wits and courage in the "Daughter of the Alluring Country", but he didn't know that he was completely and clearly arranged by the "Daughter of the Alluring Country".

Let Sigurd say that the counselors and the soldiers are doing their own thing, and the result is that there is no one on the counselor's side to fight, and the soldiers' side is full of muscles and brains. In the end, both sides are nothing, and "outsiders" took advantage of the loopholes .

Strasbourg is the seventh largest city and the largest border city in France.
