People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

However, with the positions and identities of the two of them, there is nothing they can do about such things.

Take Index and escape?Even for a saint like Kanzaki Kaori, if the Church of Necessary Evil is determined to kill her, she will be besieged and killed for at most a month.

As for whether Stiyl can protect Index from leaving the city of London, it is a question mark.

"That is to say, while clearing the memory this time, I will destroy the 'collar' on her body. The reason is 'interference with the silver star. If it is not destroyed, it is very likely that someone will take advantage of it'. Then, I will Tell Laura that the guardians for this year will be the two of you, and the reason is that when Index woke up, she saw you and Steele."

"But Steele and I both served as the child's 'guardian', on the church side."

"I will explain that if amnestics are carried out again now, the contents of the 'Forbidden Book Catalog' will be irreversibly affected. Even if it needs to be cleared, it will take half a year."

Kanzaki Kaori nodded, she had no doubts about this way of handling it.

But Stiles spoke with some concern.

"But what can we do in half a year? At this time, Index will definitely be firmly watched in London, and there will be nothing she can do under the eyes of the Puritans, right?"

"Half a year is half a year later, or are you going to give up the opportunity to establish a relationship with Index in this half year?"

"No!"

Looking at the determined Stiyl, Sigurd nodded.

There was nothing to say all night, and the two stood beside the sleepy Index all night.

I don't know what they are thinking, but there is no doubt that this time, after Index wakes up again, they will not let Index experience what happened before.

As long as Index feels greater happiness, the unhappy past can become a thing of the past.

That was the only thing they could do for Index.

As for what will happen in half a year, both of them no longer think about it.

After all, if it's half a year, they can at least spend Christmas with Index...

Chapter 340: "Automatic Secretary John's Pen"

In the middle of July, the starlight of Leo is the most dazzling time.

At [-]:[-], in the high-end apartment building in the seventh school district, a huge ceremony was unfolding.

"According to Crowley's book "Moonchild", apply the angel's trapping method to establish a chain of elves' summoning, capture, and use, as long as you use a specific flow to make the magic formula in Index's body 'deviant', it can be automatically broken 'Collar'..."

This room is to store a large number of strange "spiritual equipment vaults" made by Sigurd.

But at this time, an open space was specially cleared in the middle of the room, and Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl were standing on both sides holding candles.

There can be no mistakes in the memory clearing ceremony, and this time Sigurd has to take care of destroying the "collar" set by the Puritan sect. If there is a conflict in the cooperation of multiple spells, Index's personality may be destroyed. Burn it all.

This is also the reason why Sigurd took the initiative to withdraw from this job at that time.

Just as he himself once said, he cannot accept a butcher with a rusty butcher's knife performing sophisticated brain surgery on a girl in a garbage dump.

Perhaps this is a very complicated operation process for ordinary people, but the control and memory restriction formulas about Index were set by Sigurd himself, even if they were modified by the British Puritans later, no matter what What kind of distortion and overwriting they make, the most fundamental part belongs to the "golden" technique.

Sigurd did not move, only the underground magic circle started to move.

Absorbing magic power from the surrounding space, the magic circle is operating in a completely independent manner.

It is not the first time for Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori to participate in and face the ceremony of cleaning up Index's memory, and even both of them have personally erased Index's memory.

But this time is different, according to Sigurd, then this time I am afraid it will not be so smooth.

The dull sound of "Boom!" appeared, but there was no corresponding shock.

After all, if the magic formula in the body is "wrong", then the magic power of the countercurrent will hurt Index herself, but if there is a place to "unload the force", there is no need to worry about this problem, and this magic circle is for This exists.

The magic circle on the ground was shattered. I am afraid that the change just now was eaten up by the magic circle on the ground using the principle of "magic countercurrent".

【──Warning! The second section of Chapter 3, index-librorum-prohibitorum──the "collar" of the forbidden book catalogue, the first barrier has been confirmed to be destroyed.Regeneration preparations... Regeneration terminated. Judging from the current situation, in order to protect the "library" with [-] volumes, the priority is to fight against intruders. 】

Index seemed to have no bones or joints at all, just like jelly stuffed in a plastic bag, and slowly stood up with strange movements.

The red magic circles in the eyes shot around, and they could no longer be called human eyes.

There is no trace of humanity in the eyes, and you can't see the warmth that a girl should have. It's exactly the same as when she was burned and fainted, when she interpreted the Steele spell for Kamijou Touma.

"In fact, there have always been loopholes, but no one has ever asked about them. Index is not a 'rough stone', nor is she a capable user of Academy City, so why can't she refine her magic power as a list of banned books with 'no talent'? Isn't this an unreasonable thing?"

"It's magic..."

Steele and Kanzaki Kaori no longer have any trust in the Puritans, or in other words, they have decided not to believe any English Puritan rhetoric about Index.

Without giving the three of them too much space to communicate, the "automatic secretary" as the interception program has already begun to search for the enemy.

[According to the information of the 090117 books in the "library", the magic formula for breaking through the defense wall was calculated...successfully.Serial number [-], name "Moon Son", using the angelic trapping method, combined with astral magic to strip away the consciousness of the spirit...]

The mechanical eyes glanced at Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl, but the two couldn't move, they could only stand there holding the torch.

The torch can integrate the magic fluctuations of Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl into the entire "ceremony field". This special ceremony originally meant "not belonging to the world". category of "human beings".

[Confirm the number of targets, one person.Magician, alone.No other threatening targets.It is determined that the threat level is the highest, and preparations for the execution of specific magic against intruders have been obtained, and the magic formula has been obtained, and the construction of the counter-attack spell...]

The sound of the machine was intermittent, and there were even some uncomfortable noises.

[Confirmation of spell construction, selection of a single-target lethal spell...successfully prepared to execute the most effective magic against single-target intruders.Next, the specific magic "Saint George Sanctuary" will be launched to destroy the intruders. 】

With a loud bang, the two magic circles in Index's eyes expanded in one breath.

In front of Index, two magic circles with a diameter of more than two meters overlapped.

As if being fixed on the two eyeballs, Index lightly shook her head, and the magic circle floating in the air moved accordingly.

Sigurd didn't act, or there was no need to rush to do it.

His goal is not to fight the "automatic secretary", but to destroy the "collar" on Index's body as quickly and accurately as possible.

Sigurd himself is not the kind of guy with such great ambitions, nor is he a "just partner" with such noble sentiments.

As long as it is judged by him as a "threat", no matter whether it is a baby or an old man, it will be killed without mercy.

Unreasonable, merciless, dealing with enemies coldly like a machine.

But in the same way, if Sigurd is identified as a "destined person", then he will spare no effort to give the necessary cooperation.

Sigurd itself does not have anything that can be called a dream, nor can it be said that he has any special goals and ambitions.

But this does not hinder his essence of "protecting weaknesses".

It's not that he can't understand the English Puritan's approach, and he even praised the English Puritan magician for being able to overwrite new things on the formula he set up.

But all things being one thing, he originally thought that the British Puritanism had only added a restrictive formula such as "regularly clearing memory", but judging from the things he just sneaked into the preliminary search, this "automatic secretary" might not be It's as simple as an automatic counter attack.

"If you can't penetrate the entire 'collar' in one go, this thing will activate the 'controller'..."

"Controller?"

"It is possible to remotely control Index's operating spiritual equipment from the other side of the world. Hey, I secretly implanted such a thing. I really don't feel relieved. After all, I am just a mercenary. If I betray the truth that day, things will be troublesome." Is it..."

"That......"

Kanzaki Kaori seemed to be worried about being noticed by the Puritan Church in England, but Stiles explained it first.

"Kanazaki, haven't you felt it since you entered this layer? This is no longer the 'human world'. Everything that happens here is isolated from the outside world."

In other words, no matter how the "automatic secretary" sends information to the British side, it is impossible for the other end to receive it.

Without looking back, Sigurd moved his shoulders a little, as if his body was a little stiff because he hadn't moved for a long time.

Randomly pulled out a shield from the "clutter" on the side, and Sigurd stared at Index's direction expressionlessly.

Again, the English Puritan's approach is reasonable and reasonable, but this does not prevent Sigurd from feeling uncomfortable.

In an instant, the two magic circles centered on Index's eyes suddenly began to emit light and exploded.

That scene was like a point in the sky—a place close to Index's brow, where a high-voltage current exploded, and lightning scattered in all directions.

However, instead of blue and white sparks, what came out was pitch-black lightning.

While completely unscientific, it looks like space has been torn apart creating cracks.

Then there was another loud bang, with the joint of the two magic circles as the center, as if shooting at the glass, the pitch-black cracks spread out in all directions again, shooting straight to the corners of the entire room.

The cracks looked as if they were a wall in themselves, preventing anyone from approaching Index.

While the conflict between "The Strongest Gold" and "The Catalog of Prohibited Books" was on the verge of breaking out, in St. George's Cathedral in England, a dialogue was also going on on the other side.

Chapter 340: Discussion of St. George's Cathedral

This is St. George's Cathedral in London, England. It is one of the oldest institutions of Puritanism in the United Kingdom.

It is clearly the most elite institution of Puritanism in the UK now, but a hundred years ago it was the gathering place for the most disliked "bottom personnel" in the UK.

Because Britain is a country where magic prevails, British Puritanism is particularly developed in the culture and technology of "magicians" such as witch hunting, heresy interrogation, and religious inquisition.

In order to fight against the domineering magicians in the UK and the magic association composed of multiple magicians, some people in the Puritan Church in England could only choose to experience magic and become a part of the magicians. Such people constituted the earliest The Church of Necessary Evil.

Although they were arguably the first "Great Victims," ​​members of the Church of Necessary Evil must use magic that is considered filth by the Church.

Therefore, the "Church of Necessary Evil" had a relatively low status in the British Puritan Church, and was finally forced to leave the Canterbury Cathedral, the headquarters of the British Puritan Church, and relocate to the current St. George's Cathedral.

But later, the "Necessary Evil Church" made many contributions to Puritanism. These contributions allowed the Necessary Evil Church to gradually accumulate trust and real power in Puritanism, causing the core of British Puritanism to gradually turn to St. George's Cathedral.

At the same time, the end of the witch hunt also allowed the existence of the "magician" to be recognized by the church, and it was recognized as one of the forces that "differs from person to person" and can be correctly guided, just like cold weapons and hot weapons.

Of course, even today's Britain is still quite displeased with the existence of "witches" and "witches".

Just as the former "Church of Necessary Evil" was squeezed out of "Canterbury Abbey", witches, one of the combat units under the British Puritan Church, live in the large-scale aerial combat spiritual outfit "Witch Compass" all the year round, guarding the British airspace.

But the witches, who shed blood and sweat for the sake of England, were not considered inferior to the magicians of the "Church of Necessary Evil", but they were forbidden to enter London without permission.

And the most ironic thing is that the one who issued this order was the "Church of Necessary Evil" himself who had been squeezed out and should have had a deep understanding.

At this time, inside the church, which once gathered the darkest and most terrifying history of witch hunting, Laura Stuart, who is currently the highest bishop of the Puritan Church in England, is unhurriedly sorting out her own long hair.

Although it was late at night in Japan, it was still in the afternoon in Britain at this time. Although it was a bit too leisurely, Laura was indeed sitting in the atrium behind the church and drinking a late afternoon tea.

Delicate teacups and delicate snack stands are at hand, and under a gorgeous sun umbrella, there is a white seat that reminds people of "this is a church thing" at first glance.

The highest bishop named Lola was wearing a pure white monastic uniform, with black, red, green, purple, gold thread, silver thread and other colors recognized by formal clothing intertwined with contrasting patterns.

In addition, the clothes are also covered with decorative cloth strips used by high-ranking clergy.This is the formal attire worn when visiting other people.

Combing her hair unhurriedly, but Laura's expression was not as relaxed as it seemed.
