People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"You call that 'martyrdom,' don't you?"

"I have to, otherwise these kids will be charged with innocence."

"You look at those guards and staff of Academy City who are almost dead. Does your conscience allow you to say what you just said?"

"I......"

Matthew Lis lowered his head, unable to find any refutation or reason to answer Sigurd's question.

Matthew Liss is still too kind. He is obviously a victim of the whole incident, but at this time he is willing to take the blame for those bastards who deceived ordinary believers. Sigurd also understands this, so he can't understand horses. Ms. Reese's way of taking everything on herself.

Chapter 550: About Sigurd

London, Little Venice.

The Supreme Bishop Laura Stuart, the supreme authority over Puritanism in England, was sleeping in a boat.

The small boats float on artificial rivers managed by multiple water gates.

From the name of Venice, we can know that this place is more or less intentionally imitated, but although the scenery here is beautiful, it is not like Venice at all. This is not a sea city, but a boat mooring where three rivers gather.

However, these are all for the "outsiders". For those in the "industry", it is actually judged from the point of view of magic, and it is a place to reproduce and analyze the topography of Venice artificially created on the sea.

And this, but few people know.

"Let's at least let go of the rowboat..."

Laura stared boredly behind the boat.

Although there stood a man like a boatman, the boat had a small engine.

The man was wearing a priest's attire, but it was very formal attire, unlike Stiyl's overly exaggerated attire.

"There are new reports about Academy City and the Roman Orthodox Church."

The boatman, or rather the priest, brought an official report, and this completely spoiled the leisurely mood that Laura Stuart had sneaked out of St. George's Cathedral.

However, for the time being, Laura, who hadn't forgotten her identity, still pouted and urged the other party to continue talking, after all, she might be able to rest for a while after finishing speaking earlier.

"First of all, it is within the Roman Orthodox Church. Judging from the current situation, there seems to be an internal struggle. The Pope of Rome seems to be involved, and his life and death are unknown now."

"Are you sure it's an internal conflict? I remember that when the mercenary bombed St. Peter's Basilica last time, you also reported the 'internal conflict'?"

The priest looked at the hand, which was mixed with the sighting information in Rome and the forecast information obtained from the flow of magic power, but this information seemed to be slightly different from Laura's expectation.

"Yes, it can be determined that it is an internal conflict. This time the conflict occurred three days ago, and at this time, Mr. Sigurd was still active in Academy City. Whether it is the Nordic side or Academy City's 'informant' can be confirmed.”

Laura nodded, indicating that the other party would continue to report the details of the "internal struggle".

"Judging from the great magic power observed inside the Vatican, the other party seems to have used some kind of large-scale spell. But according to current observations, the disaster does not seem to have happened, although there have been energy fluctuations of 'Gabriel' , but soon subsided."

"Now we have information to speculate, it should be the action of 'Water from the Rear'?"

"We haven't found out that yet, but..."

The priest paused for a moment, because another boat happened to pass by the two of them at this time.

Looking at the priest and Supreme Bishop Lola on the boat, the ordinary couple just smiled and nodded.

Laura turned over, and the priest couldn't see her expression, but out of a responsible attitude towards official duties, he continued without waiting for Laura to ask questions.

"According to the report of the 'informant' inside Academy City, a total of 230 Roman Orthodox magicians were found in the Academy City and its surrounding areas, including the two who claimed to be the 'God's Right Seat'."

"No one survived, did they?"

She turned around and said something. Regarding this matter, Laura didn't have to wait for the priest's answer. After all, if they let the other party go when they all made trouble at the door, then Sigurd would not be Sigurd.

"That mercenary is such a guy. If someone touches his bottom line, then even if it's me, he wouldn't hesitate to slash. The slash is powerful enough to split the Eurasian continent in two?"

The priest couldn't judge how much meaning such a sentence contained.

Laura Stuart is different in appearance and age, and the quantity and quality of accumulated experience are completely different from ordinary people.

In addition, Laura has known that mercenary for many years. If you want to talk about the familiarity of Zigrud in the whole world, Laura claims to be the second, and Sylvia dares to take the first place.

Of course, there is an extra thesis that cannot participate in the basic discussion.

But because of this, the priest couldn't understand Laura's thoughts.

"However, even this approach can easily lead to problems."

There was some helplessness vaguely revealed in Laura Stuart's tone.

Although it was only the priest's own thoughts, he had joined the "Church of Necessary Evil" for several years. Although the matter about "Water in the Back" was only known in recent months, he had heard about the identity of this "Water" .

(The problem that the Supreme Bishop said should be the "royal faction" and "knight faction"...)

He is one of the core members of the "Church of Necessary Evil", and he is basically the highest-ranking operative under Laura, so he has more or less knowledge about the events of ten years ago and earlier. way of understanding.

(However, I remember that those two mercenaries can be regarded as "old acquaintances". When performing official duties, they are ruthless and never cheat for personal gain. No wonder so many forces are willing to trust this mercenary...)

Although the evaluation of Sigurd has always been not so positive, but there is no English magician who would dislike Sigurd's behavior.

After all, as existences of the same level as "National Salvation Heroes", it is absolutely impossible for these classical gentlemen to turn their faces against Sigurd for the sake of heretics, no matter whether it is emotional or reasonable.

And at this time, in a corner of Academy City, inside the "windowless building" in the center of the seventh school district, in this building with a strength that cannot be destroyed by nuclear weapons, the "windowless building" floating upside down in a huge glass container Humans," with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

What he was looking at was the quadrangular picture directly expressed in the air.

The source of intelligence is the "loop in the air".

It was a special network of extremely small machines scattered throughout Academy City.

On the screen that usually reflects all the information, now there is only gray noise.

The intelligence network of the "underline" was temporarily interrupted due to the big explosion caused by the over-standard conflict between Sigurd and the water behind.

Although the "Hysteroid Loop" is made of extremely specific technology, the parent body is only a silicon block with a length of [-] nanometers, so it is easily damaged by blast wind or shock wave.

The outbreak of unusually high fever in this conflict instantly destroyed the "air loop" of the entire No. 11 school district, causing Aleister to completely lose this area.

The noise generated in one area spreads all over the network, causing a huge load on the whole. Even urgent repairs will still take several hours before complete restoration.

Speaking to Aleister in this situation, it was as if an arm had been taken away, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting phenomenon..."

Instead, he looked very happy, as if he already knew what to do.

The group of machines surrounding Aleister analyzed the information obtained before the "Stay Loop" stopped functioning from various angles. Even fragments of information full of noise can be integrated and processed to produce clear and effective information.

Bright colors appear on the gray screen, and it can be output as an important report immediately.

Confirm the specified number of revolutions of the core for continuous low-speed idling within the center point.

The name of the specimen is "Sigurd", and the completion rate of the plan is 90.00%.

Although it is a person on the "magic side", as the main axis of the plan, it will help to omit 710 steps to [-] steps.

"Aleister, do you think this is okay? You can't restrain Sigurd-kun's power at all, can you?"

"There is no problem, as long as he is still in the 'human' category, there is no problem. Besides, the stronger he is, the more beneficial it is for my plan. After all, those guys can't be solved casually."

"This doesn't seem to be your style, does it, Aleister? (smokes)"

"A chopstick, have you heard this story?"

"The familiar story is certainly romantic, but isn't it a bit too clichéd (swallowing). Aleister, this isn't your type, is it?"

The "human" floating in the tank squinted his eyes and leaked a smile. He didn't know whether he felt funny about the evaluation of the golden retriever or recalled something.

"One chopstick is easy to break, and ten chopsticks can't support a saw, but if there are two steel bars, even a chainsaw may break."

"Sounds like (gasp)...you've put Sigurd-kun on an equal footing with yourself?"

"No, Sigurd has surpassed me, I can be sure of that."

"Interesting, it seems that the existence of Mr. Sigurd has reminded you of the romance that you have thrown into the corner for a long time?"

"Who knows?"

Chapter 550: Attacking the Weapons Exhibition

Today is the first day of October.

After the Daiha Star Festival, Academy City has once again entered a situation where everyone is busy.

There are several international exhibition halls in the third school district of Academy City.

The [-]th school district, the gateway from overseas, is directly connected to the school district by the railway. There are many external facilities, and the hotel level is also one of the best in Academy City.

Based on the consideration of not letting the noise from the airport affect the accommodation facilities, welcome facilities are specially set up here, which is far away from the No.20 No. [-] school district where the airport is concentrated.

Such a third school district is now holding several events.

One of the works displayed is an unmanned attack helicopter, the latest powered armor, a kill zone ultraviolet sniper device that uses some kind of light wave, and even a high-power optical weapon that can be used for bombing.

The name of the event turned out to be the "Fighting Weapons Exhibition", which is quite exaggerated.

And what led to everything was naturally the battle that took place in No. 11 school district yesterday evening.

In just one night, the layout of such a large-scale exhibition was completed. Although it was the result of the staff working overnight, it also means that these "emergency weapons" are all "finished products" that Academy City can make decisions and move out at any time .

It's not a "semi-finished product" that just came out of the laboratory's test site.

Although the exhibition came "out of the blue", there was no pre-publicity, and even the announcement was rushed, but at this moment, the third school district is still crowded with people.

"Wow!!!!"

There was a heavy gasp.

In a corner of the dome-shaped international exhibition hall, Aiho Koizumikawa took off the powered heavy armor helmet that was connected to the body with parts.

Usually, even if she wears rustic sportswear, she can't hide her good figure that annoys teenagers, but surrounded by powered heavy armor that swells like a doll costume, she looks a little ridiculous.

"It's so hot... why is it so tiring to drive heavy armor demonstrations? Since this thing is for display, why would it die with an air conditioner? Can't it be a little more humane?"

Huang Quanchuan hugged the helmet and finished speaking in an impatient tone. The woman in overalls glanced at her.

This woman is a member of the driving heavy armor development team. She may be used to wearing white clothes, so it doesn't seem appropriate to wear work clothes.

"Don't worry, you're not alone. The entire exhibition hall was surrounded by a strange heat. There was no actual publicity, but everyone from students to adults seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and they didn't understand such a surprise attack at all. For the meaning of the weapons exhibition, they will be fine."

A laptop was placed on the female engineer's lap, and a card to make the phone thinner and lighter was attached to the side of the computer. The screen displayed the detailed data of the driving armor.
