People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

The knight's sword that had already been swung like an arm seemed so heavy that they could only support it on the ground even if I picked it up.

The knights felt the pressure increasing, as if their heads were about to be ripped off their necks.

"Midnight rings. Frightened girl, why don't you reveal yourself?"

The pressure was swept away in an instant, and the knights, whose lungs were squeezed out because of the pressure, breathed heavily, their lungs moving up and down rapidly, making a noise like a bellows in a bad channel.

Cinderella looked at the boy who walked out from the front of the Palace of Versailles.

She didn't ask the other party, and she didn't continue to warn the other party to back off.

"Please give me the trial of the glass slipper! Please give me the stern and cruel trial of the glass slipper that made my wayward and hypocritical mother and sister fall into the abyss of infinite despair!"

Hearing that Cinderella activated the spell again, the twenty knights immediately retreated.

Although their toes have been dislocated, they dare not bet on whether the other party's surgery will have further effects.

The leading man saw that Sigurd was still moving forward, so he immediately reminded him nervously.

"Mr. Sigurd, the other party's spells will..."

Before the words fell, Sigurd took a step forward.

And in the next instant, a sound like glass being shattered appeared in the empty garden of the Palace of Versailles.

Not only Cinderella herself, even the French knights also showed astonished expressions.

(My spell is broken?)

Cinderella didn't have time to think about it, because Sigurd was already striding forward.

The distance between the two sides was at least 100 meters. Just when Cinderella calculated the distance and planned to strike first, she only felt a flash in front of her eyes, followed by Sigurd's cheek and palm that was close at hand.

(Teleport?)

Without time to think about it, Cinderella immediately stepped back to get out of Sigurd's attack range.

But for some reason, no matter how Cinderella retreated, Sigurd's palm kept getting closer.

Seeing that she was about to be caught by Sigurd, Cinderella leaned back and completely let go of the defense in her abdomen, trying her best to avoid it.

And just when the French knights thought that Sigurd could hit Cinderella's abdomen in an instant and indeed suppress the opponent, a change happened.

An interfering sound from the barrel of the gun broke the tranquility of the evening.

Sigurd's head jerked back as if he had been hit.

And Cinderella also took the opportunity to step on Sigurd's backward shoulders and leap backwards.

All this happened so much that the French knights didn't even realize what happened, and Cinderella had already disappeared into the artificial canal in the garden.

Sigurd, who was leaning back, also regained his balance by supporting the ground with his right hand, and a backflip also landed on the ground stably.

Seeing that Sigurd's left hand seemed to be covering his chest, the French knights thought they were hit by the sneak attack just now.

Before they could speak, Sigurd stood up.

Only then did they understand why Sigurd's left hand was always on his chest.

It was a small crystal high-heeled shoe, no bigger than Sigurd's palm, and it was obviously one of the shoes Cinderella wore just now.

I'm afraid Cinderella was captured by Sigurd the moment Cinderella used Sigurd's shoulder to jump back and escape.

And with the sound of the "clang" metal colliding with the marble floor, they also saw clearly that the one spit out from Sigurd's mouth was the metal bullet used by the flintlock.

"Cinderella and the Musketeer, this trip to France is getting more and more interesting..."

Sigurd stared at a certain direction of the artificial canal that crossed from left to right and made a cross. He didn't know whether the long-lost situation that made the mercenary feel interesting was a good thing or a bad thing for France.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"It looks like you've dealt with the attacker?"

The "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Nation" who was sitting there looked at the returning Sigurd and asked casually.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Sigurd's ability as a magician is completely capable of crushing any magician in France. Naturally, it is impossible for a mere attacker to cause too much trouble for this monster mercenary.

"Those guys above should have truthfully reported everything that happened just now?"

Sigurd sat far away, weighing the crystal slipper in his hand with one hand.

The "Daughter of the Overwhelming Nation" simply nodded. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two to fight these attackers, so it doesn't need too many descriptions to guess some doubts.

"At least the 'Cinderella' I heard as a kid wasn't such a murderous thing."

"That's thanks to which French writer. Otherwise, you will most likely hear the Brothers Grimm's version, which is the plot of 'Pass feet fit shoes' just happened."

The so-called "cutting feet to fit shoes" refers to Cinderella. In the story of the Brothers Grimm, when the prince brought shoes to find Cinderella, her two sisters cut off one of their toes and one of their own in order to impersonate her. The story of the heel.

And before the last Cinderella and the prince were together, she also instructed the little bird to take away the eyes of the two sisters, resulting in a revenge story that they could only beg for the rest of their lives.

But such bloody things are naturally impossible to appear in "fairy tales".

Of course, the relatively special existence of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is an exception among exceptions.

"Fairy tales are all like this. The good side is revealed through one-sided interpretation. The dark part is completely ignored. Don't you think that the author who writes fairy tales writes them with a smile?"

"I thought it was only the Brothers Grimm?"

"Do you think the ugly duckling is expressing something noble?"

"Hold on, or..."

Sipping coffee, Miss Saintess shrugged.

"Never give up on ideals?"

"It's hard to say that it's a story of 'the blood supremacy story of the swan's victory from birth' or 'a strange development of the swan who wanted to be good friends with the ducks and was forced to realize that he was absolutely impossible to join the duck circle'. "

"What about dark thoughts, mercenary?"

"Even the relatively positive "Puss in Boots" is the same. To put it bluntly, it is a story of 'with the help of a noble person, you can turn against the trend, and if you don't, you are a useless person', and the identity of the earl is faked. I think it is a bit far-fetched that he is 'honest', but 'cunning' is more appropriate."

"Daughter of the Overwhelming Country" smiled helplessly.

In order to keep a positive impression of the other fairy tales in her heart, she must not continue Sigurd's story, otherwise she may not be able to face up to those stories for children in a short time.

"Speaking of the attack that hit you last, do you see where it came from?"

"It comes down from the water. There may be some secret passage under the [-]-kilometer-long artificial canal. After all, the situation in France back then, it is unreasonable not to leave behind."

The "Daughter of the Overwhelming Country" nodded, but shook her head again.

"Probably not. We have checked the construction of the Palace of Versailles many times. If there is such a secret passage, we should have discovered it long ago?"

"Miss Saint, have you forgotten why French magicians have two 'systems' that are completely different from those in other countries?"

"The Daughter Who Overwhelmed the Nation" certainly knew that the biggest point of disagreement was nothing more than that incident.

"That means opening and launching that special 'secret channel' requires certain conditions, right? For example..."

"Royal blood or something? What do you want to show me before you talk about it?"

Sigurd threw the crystal slipper in his hand casually on the sofa beside him. This thing itself is not a spiritual item, nor is it a special magical material in terms of texture.

"Daughter of Allure" handed the document to Sigurd from her side.

After taking the file, Sigurd glanced at it casually.

There are not many documents, and there are a lot of scattered materials, but the really valuable parts are not too many.

After simply looking at it once, Sigurd generally understood where the confidence of the "rebel party" came from.

"If the thing the other party has is genuine, then I'm afraid there is no chance of winning the war between France and Britain?"

"Although it is said to be kept in the Louvre, it is actually just a fake. The original has been lost in various circumstances, so we are not sure whether the other party's hand is the holy sword 'Joyue' once used by Emperor Charlemagne. Si (joyeuse)'."

One of the three holy swords in Europe, an epic narrative poem, and also a saber of the Carolingian King Charlemagne of the Frankish Kingdom in the hidden magic book "Song of Roland".

Its blade is said to be the tip of the spear of Longinus that pierced Jesus Christ after his crucifixion.

But in fact, there is no description in the history books that Charlemagne used "Joyeuse" on the battlefield. After all, as a real state-level spiritual weapon, if it is recognized by the general world, it would be a terrible thing.

It's the same as the fact that many people's only understanding of the British national spiritual outfit "Katina" or, strictly speaking, "Katina II" is the ritual sword used for the coronation of the British king and queen.

For the French holy sword "Joyeuse", people in the general world only have a one-sided understanding that it is one of the treasures that must appear at the coronation ceremony of the French king.

And if the opponent's hand is genuine, it means that France at this time not only holds another national-level spiritual outfit other than "Durandal", but also means a Weapons that can easily kill the "saint" are also available.

After all, part of the blade of "Joyeuse" is the tip of the spear of Longinus that pierced Jesus' body.

Having a spiritual outfit that is absolutely incomprehensible to the "saint" is a terrifying existence in itself, coupled with the ability to enhance the ability in France, it is absolutely not groundless to say that France has the possibility of defeating Britain.

"Speaking of which, your guys say that those people attacked the Astronomical Society and the Louvre Museum?"

"Yes, although the magicians guarding the two places were all defeated, the other party did not kill anyone. Moreover, neither the internal documents of the Astronomical Society nor the collections of the Louvre Museum showed signs of being stolen. I feel that the other party is pure He wants to give us a big blow."

"Under Mawei, I can't see it. I'm going to the Louvre Museum. I'm a little concerned about the replica."

Although the "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Country" didn't know the value of the counterfeit specially ordered by Louis XIV to replace her name, she didn't have any clue now. If Sigurd could see the heresy, then naturally The best.

Chapter 210: The Louvre Museum

Entering through the glass pyramid-shaped entrance, Sigurd, led by two French magicians, entered the Louvre Museum, which was closed early.

The three of them did not pay too much attention to the surrounding situation, and walked straight towards the central hall on the second floor of the Richelieu Wing of the Louvre.

Walking quickly, Sigurd casually scanned the surrounding situation.

"What was the situation around the Louvre when it was attacked?"

"what?"

Because Sigurd didn't speak all the way, the sudden question made both of them stunned at the same time.

And Sigurd didn't say much, but continued to ask questions.

"How many magicians do you usually have around the Louvre?"

"There are usually 20 people in the museum, and there should be about 30 scattered around."

"What happened when you were attacked?"

"It was still the opening time of the museum, and there were still a lot of tourists inside. Nothing special happened. By the time we noticed, all the members of the museum had collapsed."
