People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"It doesn't matter at all. What those people want to see is 'next-generation weapons' and 'superpowers flying all over the sky'. They don't know how much technology is involved in the actual contest, do they?"

"Speaking of it, I remember you mentioned that a weapons exhibition was also opened in the third school district, right?"

"It's nothing more than those scraps of copper and rotten iron that fool fools to play with. If you really want to rank those scraps of iron, they are basically the bottom of the gadgets that Academy City is still producing."

As Sigurd said, the third school district at this time is currently holding several events.

Including the engine exhibition, which gathers the essence of vehicle technology, and the robot exhibition, which is the crystallization of mechanical engineering, and so on.

These demonstrations are not so much a pure entertainment plan, but more like the most cutting-edge technology promotion of Academy City.

This is because the governing council announced the technology that "this level can be transferred outside the city", and selected the best trading partner from countless external companies.

However, for Academy City, it is not "finding" a transaction partner. Although it seems to be a relationship between Party A and Party B, in fact, Academy City is "choosing" who to trade with and how to do it from the beginning to the end. level of transactions.

And use this to take into account the stability of the "science side" while obtaining huge funds. After all, holding the so-called "latest armed forces" of Academy City has an overwhelming advantage in combat power.

At the moment when they check and balance each other and are involved with each other, apart from sending money to Academy City in exchange for more and stronger equipment, they have no conditions to actually conflict.

Basically, it is simply adhering to the idea of ​​"I can not use it, but I can't have it, let alone you have it and I don't have it", just like a child's anger.

"But for Academy City, the 'scrap copper and rotten iron' is the world's top armed force in the outside world?"

Sylvia looked at the page in the guide book about the District [-] Fair.

In terms of a weapons exhibition, the works on display include unmanned attack helicopters, the latest powered armor, ultraviolet sniper devices that use certain types of light waves to kill areas, and even high-power optical weapons that can be used for bombing.

However, such a scale of war, even capable of capturing the firepower of the United States with sufficient configuration, was placed in the exhibition hall with the "Combat Defense Weapons Exhibition".

From the perspective of a saint on the "magic side", Sylvia feels that just looking at the description, if these things launch an organized and disciplined large-scale attack on London, if the "Katina" is not activated, I am afraid that the "Knights" will not be able to attack London in a short time. , It is even impossible to tear the front line.

And once the "Knights" as the vanguard are unable to tear apart the battlefield and drag the battle into small-scale scuffles in sub-regions, what will be left to the London magicians is an endless baptism of missiles.

Facing the indiscriminate bombing of unmanned weapons, and even betting the lives of thousands of people to tear a gap, it turned out that almost all the troops fighting on the front line were unmanned weapons groups, and the real enemy was not one person lost.

Although Sylvia has always had a general understanding of the military power of Academy City, she still unconsciously sighs that the development speed of the "science side" is not inferior to that of the "magic side" after actually seeing it.

Even in the middle and low-end battle situation, compared with the "science side" that can deploy a large number of unmanned combat weapons, the "magic side" has no advantage at all.

But this level of armament is just the so-called "scrap iron" at the bottom of Academy City. If Sigurd hadn't been in charge, Sylvia would have been somewhat worried that Academy City's strength had developed to the "magic side" and she was a little helpless. degree of independence.

"It doesn't matter, Academy City will reasonably choose who to sell to and who not to sell to. Who should sell what and who should not sell what. The 'science side' is far more stable than the 'magic side' There are many."

"After all, the leader of the 'science side' is only Academy City, and the 'magic side' is not only the three major churches, a guy like you who is too free is running everywhere."

Silvia also understands that the "magic side" is the "fuse" that causes problems in the world and that may trigger a war between the two sides.

But in terms of the characteristics attached to the title "magician", such a problem cannot be solved at all.

"Although it is said to be a 'demonstrative weapon exhibition', there is actually an element of showing muscles to the 'magic side', right? Although those general directors may not be clear, but I remember the general directors of the British Puritan Church and Academy City Have you had a lot of contacts?"

Looking at the manual in hand, although it is not complete, every booth included in it displays all kinds of killing tools.

It is quite different from the previous Academy City propaganda of "arresting those with out-of-control abilities with minimal damage", and the color of "safety suppression" has become extremely thin.

Instead, if the enemy hides behind the chariot, it can penetrate the entire target together with the chariot. Even if it is hiding in an underground fortification, it can dig three feet into the ground and blow it up for you. Such a powerful and lethal war-spec weapon.

"Those guys can't see it after showing off. It's better to show their strength to the UK. It's more reasonable to seek more cooperation with an equal attitude. Compared with the phased array radar of the British Navy now, it's not everything. Produced in Academy City?"

"Let's not talk about the radar. Most of the gadgets in the Queen Elizabeth ship are produced in Academy City. Although it looks the same as before, the performance has already surpassed the battleships of other countries by a few blocks. Not to mention the fighter jets are being updated. Only the Queen herself knows how much Academy City's technology has been mixed into it."

"Yes, but it's not bad. I personally don't care about the cooperation between Academy City and the United Kingdom. But if you look at the magic side, then..."

Silvia didn't finish her sentence, but she didn't intend to continue.

Because she noticed that someone used a spell to get in touch with Academy City, and judging from the past situation, this time there is a high probability that it is also the contact from the British Puritan.

The rest time of this "strongest gold" is always extremely short.

Chapter 490 Seven: Discussion about the black hands behind the scenes

Sylvia was in charge of looking after Index, while Sigurd himself walked into the coffee shop with the closed sign.

"Welcome, what would you like to drink?"

"Business as usual."

"OK, wait."

Sit skillfully on the corner seat, where passers-by on the road cannot see Sigurd behind the fender.

This is a 24-hour coffee shop on weekdays, but it is essentially a stronghold of Anbu's subordinates.

There will be differences in the personnel used according to the needs, but basically what will be used is the "item (item)" under Mugino Shirley, and the "silver cross (silver cross)" and "new student item" belonging to Sigurd's subordinates. (freshmen)" only.

"Use it lightly, please call me whenever you need me."

After bowing, the middle-aged man who looked like a store manager retreated behind the front desk to continue his work.

He didn't mean to leave. After all, if it was a secret that he couldn't hear, then he shouldn't be talking here.

And Sigurd didn't care too much, after all, the conversation he wanted to have was done by magic, and there was no possibility of being overheard.

After taking a sip of coffee, the dialogue between Sigurd and the British Puritans officially began.

"So, is it because of the brain damage last night?"

[Mercenary, you should understand the impact of this incident on the "magic side".There are more and more restless forces, and we don't have time to go on like this. 】

"So, may I ask if you have gained anything after a whole night of urgency?"

[If there is, there will be no contact this time. 】

Obviously, relying solely on the information conveyed by the "Amakusa-style cross desolate religion", I am afraid that the British Puritans will not even know the cause and effect of the incident, or even the details of the changes that occurred on the way.

And compared to the Amakusa style who was confused and played around, it is obvious that Sigurd, the mercenary who actually solved the incident, can give more and more comprehensive information.

"According to the investigation by Brunhild, these guys did not show any abnormalities before this incident, and even many of them have never met each other at all."

[Could it be a secret collusion or something? 】

"You know better than me how 'self-closing' the local mythology system in Northern Europe is. It is impossible for magicians of a completely different system to have any communication other than fighting."

This point is also where the doubts of the British Puritans and even the Russian Orthodox Church lie.

Nordic, Celtic, Slavic...

There were as many as five or six magicians from different local mythological systems who contacted each other to launch an attack on Academy City. Such a thing just sounds unreal.

[Which "Valkyrie" has any other information?If you gave the instructions directly, I'm afraid that Miss Valkyrie has turned Northern Europe upside down, right? 】

"According to the memories of the magicians who are familiar with those guys, there was nothing abnormal about them before they disappeared and sneaked into the garden city. Even those magicians of the Slavic system are still planning a hotel for another member to spend his birthday."

[I even planned to celebrate my birthday, but suddenly sneaked into the garden city abnormally, and almost provoked a war between "science" and "magic", right?Mercenary, what do you think? 】

Sigurd took a sip of coffee, then used a silver fork to cut a small piece of mousse cake into his mouth.

Feeling the taste of chocolate and milk spread in the mouth, the brain was replenished with sugar and continued.

"They mentioned that if you don't kill me, the world will be destroyed."

【Divination? 】

"Brünnhilde found a strange passage in one of the diaries. Although the handwriting remained the same, the tone seemed to be changed. Although her companions said that there was no abnormality in words and deeds, but when writing the diary It’s clear the situation has changed.”

【Do you think someone else controlled them? 】

"I don't think those idiots fell into chaos immediately after I asked 'do you really think such a plan is okay', obviously they came to Academy City and attacked me. I want to understand."

Those who sneaked into the garden city and almost provoked a melee between "science" and "magic" were controlled by someone.

This news is far more serious than "the emergence of anti-Sigurd forces in Northern Europe".

[Mercenary, about the fact that the Amakusa style suddenly fell into chaos and turned to attack you, I heard that it is related to what "ultrasound" and "infrasound"? 】

"The situation at that time did not allow for a detailed investigation, but there is no doubt that the spell that caused the confusion in the Amakusa-style was launched with a certain physical phenomenon that cannot be detected and actually exists."

【Air, water, sound, infrared rays, electromagnetic waves...】

"Regarding this point, I have investigated the air and water parts at that time, and found no abnormalities. Personally, if it was my spell, I would be more inclined to sound and magnetic field, because the operation of these two Sex and concealment are the highest."

There are not many cases where sound and magnetic fields that the human body cannot perceive are used as the medium to launch spells, but this time the enemy is extremely cautious.

Even with such an idea, but still unable to find the flaw, it is obvious that "that technique" is not of the continuous effect type.

It is roughly like that after Shokuhou Misaki modifies the memory, even Kamijou Touma's "Fantasy Killer" cannot restore the changed part, it can only affect the actual activation of the ability.

The opponent's spell only changed a certain cognition of the target when it was activated, so Sigurd couldn't follow the clues to lock the essence of the opponent's spell afterwards.

[Mercenary, what do you think about this? 】

"No matter, if the other party knows that we are on alert, then he will not be able to 'fight against the wind'. Since he chooses this way, it means that he knows that he cannot fight against the three major sects when he confronts him head-on. Or something I've compared."

[But if you let an unstable factor that tries to stir up disputes outside, if there is an accident in the future...]

"I have asked Brunhilde to pay special attention to the Nordic side. As for other places, I have also explained the situation to the local 'gold' and told them to beware of such guys."

It cannot be said that Sigurd's influence spreads all over the world, but in terms of contacts alone, it must be spread all over the five lakes.

[But what that guy wants is your information, right?Is there really no problem with this? 】

"Lola, do you think I'll let the bastard who made me run all night in the heat slip away unharmed?"

Absolutely not. If Sigurd said Dadu, he would definitely "treat money like dung", but if he said he was narrow-minded, if you offended him, you would never think about it in your life.

"I put a curse on the corpses of those stupid things. No matter what that guy wants to do, as long as his purpose is to collect my information, he will definitely find a way to use it when the 'spell' fails." 'Spiritualism' or something like that to get what's inside these fools' heads."

If the other party does nothing, then he will get nothing, and the problem is within the controllable range.

If the other party tries to obtain the information in the heads of the magicians killed by Sigurd by means of "calling on the soul", then they will be cursed by Sigurd.

Although it seems that the situation has been stabilized at first glance, but there is such an unstable factor active on the "magic side", it is still necessary to find a way.

"In short, let's wait and see what happens now. If he really wants to do something, then it's impossible to hide forever. And if he shows up..."

【It will be obliterated by the unreserved firepower of "The Strongest Gold".Well, I confirmed this matter with the Russian Adult Education, and asked them to pay attention to abnormal situations within the range.As for the Roman Orthodox Church, I guess it has already started to take action when I received this news.after all......】

"After all, I just blew up their St. Peter's Basilica. If someone wants to obtain my information, they might become the target instead?"

Chapter 490 Eight: The Roman Orthodox Church Jumping Over and Over Again

[By the way, since we are talking about the Roman Orthodox Church, have you heard any news about the mercenaries? 】

"information?"
