People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

And the two knights responsible for guiding Sigurd did not feel any displeasure at Sigurd's rudeness.

They are the knights of the "Knights", the sword and shield guarding the United Kingdom.

And they have a high respect for this gold mercenary who has protected the United Kingdom countless times and saved the United Kingdom from danger.

Moreover, if you really want to talk about it, Sigurd itself is an "honorary knight" directly recognized by Queen Elisa. If you insist, Sigurd is fully qualified to call himself a "knight".

"Mr. Sigurd, please come with us. Lord Holegres Millets has prepared a banquet at the manor, and we will wait for Mr. Sigurd to arrive."

"Hole Grace is really unhurried. Who can invite people to the banquet at this time? In the end, they are just some dispensable guys, right?"

"Because I learned that Mr. Sigurd will come, there will be many Scottish nobles at the banquet tonight. And I heard that the head of the Scottish Knights will also come tonight."

Sigurd glanced at the knight who was speaking, but he simply nodded without saying anything.

"That is to say, the banquet this time is not only a nominal thing, but also secretly a battle meeting about the Scottish turmoil, right?"

"Yes."

Secretly exchanging information on the magic side during noble gatherings is very common in England.

Including the head of the knight group, Queen Elisa, and even Laura discussed the battle plan at the banquet, Sigurd didn't find it strange.

However, it was precisely because Sigurd knew something about Holegres Millets that he was able to understand the fundamental purpose of this banquet.

......

"Acting Pope, won't Mr. Sigurd act with us?"

"That guy seems to have been invited by a nobleman in Scotland to attend the banquet tonight."

"Banquet? But we're not..."

Jian Gongzhai sorted out the reports sent back by Niu Shen and others, and buried himself in the documents, Jian Gongzhai responded casually to Wuhe's questions.

"He had his work, too. Remember? The Puritan assignment?"

The content of the assessment is whether the Amakusa style can stop and arrest the magician who is causing trouble near Edinburgh.

In the meantime, regardless of the means, regardless of the process, as long as the obstruction and pursuit can be completed in the end, and the members of the Knights who escorted the "document" can return to London smoothly.

"In other words, Mr. Sigurd intends to obtain the cooperation of the local nobles?"

"I don't know, but according to the female pope, this mercenary is not a guy who is good at relying on others secretly. Rather than getting help, I am more inclined to think that guy is planning to use this banquet to achieve certain goals."

"Purpose?"

Jiangong Zhaizi pulled his beetle-like dark head out of the mountain of documents.

Rubbing his swollen neck, he put the pen aside.

"The identity of the mercenary, Wuhe, you should have inquired about the situation from the female pope, right?"

"Yes. According to the female pope, Mr. Sigurd is the successor of the strongest association 'Golden Dawn' that was active in London, and is also recognized by the magic side as the 'strongest gold'."

Recalling what Kanzaki Kaoriyu told them when they parted, Itsuwa carefully repeated every sentence of Kanzaki Kaori.

"And in the past few years as a mercenary in the world, he has assisted the three major churches in dealing with countless incidents that would lead to worldwide turmoil. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the 'inside hero' who protects the world."

"That's right, and this mercenary is also an 'honorary knight' directly appointed by the Queen of England. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a British nobleman. Moreover, the first and second queens of the United Kingdom have all had contact with him. .”

Jiangong Zhaizi tilted his chair with his arms around the back of his head.

Looking at the old ceiling, Jiangong Zhaizi continued.

"The 'Knight Faction', the 'Royal Faction', and the 'Knight Faction' who have been in contact with him. The three major factions are all closely related to this mercenary. If you add the 'honor' on him, If in the future he agrees to become a British citizen, for his service to the United Kingdom..."

"It's not a strange thing to be directly named a Marquis. In addition, the Pope has mentioned that the second princess, Miss Kailisa, seems to..."

"That's it. This man is so powerful that he is outrageous, and the relationship chain is so thick that it is suffocating. He may even become a member of the 'royal family' one day in the future. If I were a Scottish nobleman, I would definitely want to have a good relationship with him Isn't it?"

Looking at the sunset outside the window, the night in Edinburgh seems to come earlier than in London.

"I'm afraid Scotland will change this time..."

Chapter 430 Four: The Noble Banquet

Because of various problems on the way, and the fact that the "Knights" were not informed, they belonged to the transfer of information under the jurisdiction of the Puritan sect.

Sigurdby's originally scheduled arrival time was delayed.

If it is an ordinary person, those old and stubborn "knight" magicians will not give each other a good face if they have not scolded each other severely.

"Mr. Sigurd, we have been waiting for a long time."

The fat and greasy middle-aged man personally stood at the door to greet Sigurd's carriage.

If it were normal, even if the leader of the Knights came to him, he would not be so respectful, unless Queen Elisa came here in person.

Of course, this is impossible. After all, for Queen Elisa, the content related to the man named Holegres Millets is only the family name of the Millets family.

Moreover, to be honest, perhaps Queen Eliza's impression of Holegrez Miletz's family may have stayed 200 years ago.

"Because we have to take into account the assessment of the 'Amakusa Style Cross Desolate Cult' on the way, it will delay some time."

He didn't feel sorry at all, and Sigurd's tone was just a simple statement to anyone.

But for Holegres Miletz, Sigurd's willingness to explain the reasons for the delay can already be seen as a sign of great progress in the relationship between the two parties.

After all, the last time he met Sigurd, the golden mercenary turned around and left without a bird.

"Please don't worry about it. In fact, other people have just arrived here. Everyone is very excited to hear that Mr. Sigurd will come. To you, the 'knight' who has saved the United Kingdom from danger many times, everyone I'm very curious about what kind of person he is."

The first half of the sentence is not nutritious, but a bit dry.

The core of what is expressed later is that this gathering is all "our own people" who are aware of the "inside" situation in the United Kingdom.

(Holegres Millets, as a representative of the "Knights", has attended meetings on important occasions in the UK many times. He is a magician himself, but relying on a large number of spiritual equipment, he can barely compete with the general members of the Puritans. ......)

Sigurd said polite words that made him feel stiff.

Regarding the evaluation of the fat British gentleman in front of him, Sigurd himself held the view that "it is trash, but not completely trash".

(He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, trying to gain fame, but being able to attend important meetings as a representative of the "Knight Faction" shows that his ability in the position of "commander" is justified.)

The bloated figure and vain footsteps all showed that this noble knight himself could not be considered as a combatant.

(And being able to be appointed as the person in charge of this "excavation" operation also shows that at least the "royal faction" is trustworthy in his loyalty.)

It is undeniable that he once violated the orders of the "Royal Faction", but his fundamental purpose is actually to think that those witches who do not want to be under the jurisdiction of the "Puritanist Faction" are like time bombs.

Although the approach is extreme, the central idea is to protect the stability of the United Kingdom.

In fact, although he did violate the instructions of the "Royal Faction" back then, the reason why he was not severely punished in the end was actually because many nobles and even high-level "Knight Faction" procrastinated for him.

After all, for the "Old London" with the Union Jack flag, the idea that "witches who know magic should be damned" is something engraved in their DNA, whether it is men, women, or children, this is quite a deep-rooted thinking.

Even among the younger generation of Steele and others, many people have such thoughts.

It's just that the prefix "heresy" was added to the front. After all, the Puritans themselves also have subordinate "witch troop". "Equal treatment" kills all.

"Mr. Holegrass, Mr. Sigurd has just arrived in Edinburgh and has not had a good rest. I wonder if it would be impolite to chat with guests at the door?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited to see Mr. Sigurd. By the way, Mr. Sigurd hasn't met Captain Faulkner Angelo yet, right?"

Faulkner Angelo

A magician who is currently the leader of the "Knights" branch of the Scottish faction.

Neat blond hair and regular facial features, wearing a neat black suit.

The man in front of him, who looked about 30 years old, exuded an aura unique to aristocratic society.

Judging from the material of the suit he was wearing, the solid gold shield heraldic family crest engraved on the man's chest that was enough to prove his bloodline, and the way he walked with his head held high, the old-school aristocratic system had deeply influenced him.

It was not the first time that Sigurd, the coat of arms, had seen it, but it was undoubtedly the first time he had met the man in front of him.

That coat of arms belongs to a certain big family in the "Knight Sect", and its influence in the "Knight Sect" can basically be said to be second only to the family of the head of the Knights.

"Mr. Sigurd has admired his name for a long time. Mr. Holegrass, don't let Mr. Sigurd stand here. Everyone who is looking forward to meeting Sigurd can wait for a long time. You are the only one here with me. Isn't it a little bad to chat with Sigurd?"

"Of course, Mr. Sigurd please, the protagonist of tonight's banquet is you."

There is no evasion, or there is no need to shirk.

Whether it is the protagonist of this banquet is not important, but if it is as Holegres said, then this will be beneficial to Sigurd's next actions and will not cause any harm.

The heavy door was opened wide, and the first thing that caught the eye was a somewhat comical portrait.

Apart from luxury, there are no other adjectives that can describe the surrounding decorations appropriately.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that this is not a compliment.

Although the whole space was gorgeous, it was tasteless, and the so-called grandeur simply reflected the distorted pure desires of the owner.

It's like walking into a restaurant that pays attention to etiquette but doesn't understand the customer's psychology at all.

Simple imitation, or even simple and clumsy "imitation" of so-called luxury, instead makes people feel a sense of disgust.

On the inside of the gate is a young servant.

She who bowed to the three was an ordinary person of folk origin. Although she knew the existence of magic, she herself did not know any magic and did not have relevant knowledge.

Generally speaking, members of the British aristocracy who know the existence of the "magic side" will use people who know how to use magic as their servants, but Sigurd remembers that the family of the man named Hole Grace in front of him has some special regulations , so never use a magician as a servant.

"Ah, Sigurd-kun, are you finally here?"

Behind the gate was a woman who was a little short for Western women.

She appeared in an elegant gown like a goldfish, and that gorgeous and over-the-top gown was far more exaggerated than the flamboyant second princess.

Her hands were wearing gemstone rings that were far more flamboyant than Stiyl's ten silver rings.

With the swing of the arm, the gemstones, which were somewhat exaggerated in size compared to the slender fingers, collided with each other and made a "da da" sound.

The sapphire necklace on the neck was a bit too big, no matter how you looked at it, it would feel like the neck was strangled. Apart from emphasizing that the owner was rich, at least Sigurd couldn't see any beauty at all.

Moreover, although Sigurd himself is not an expert in cosmetics and grooming, he has learned some standards through his experience with Sylvia over the years.

From Sigurd's point of view, it's not accurate to say that the woman in front of her is dressed as "pretty gorgeous", and it is too conservative to say that she is wearing heavy makeup.

It seems right to say that she is a noble lady, but there is no doubt that she is a depraved and corrupt noble at first impression.

"Mr. Sigurd, you should still remember me, right? We met at last year's Christmas dinner, right? Do you remember that Her Royal Highness Carissa was there at that time?"

Of course Sigurd remembered, after all, this kind of exaggeratedly dressed woman was definitely the only one among the British aristocrats.
