People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

But no matter what kind of villains they are, they definitely won't do such things purely out of pleasure.

In other words, it is the core of the problem that needs to be considered to deal with what to do with the "Banned Book Catalog".

"The wisdom of [-] grimoires, if combined with a ritual field that can truly display the spells and a magician who is at the pinnacle of magical ability. To be honest, regardless of the last point, isn't the ritual field part the Egyptian magician's?" Are you good at it?"

"You mean what the Egyptians wanted from the knowledge of the 'Forbidden Books'?"

"Egypt is one of the very few myths that explicitly mentions the existence of the soul, where it goes, and what it experiences. After all, they believe that the body is the container of the soul. As long as the body is kept well, the soul will return to life and be resurrected."

"Who are they trying to resurrect with the wisdom of the 'Forbidden Books'? Tutankhamun? Seti I? Or... Ramses II?"

It is true that every pharaoh is a powerful magician with extraordinary attainments.

But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, they are just "magicians", who are bound in the weak "human" domain and cannot go further.

Pyramids are generally used as mausoleums or places of sacrifice. They were built before the pharaohs and used for sacrifices and ceremonies.

And sometimes the pharaoh will be buried in it, which will become the ladder for the pharaoh to lead to the "kingdom of heaven".

This is an attempt by the pharaohs to go further, beyond the realm of "humanity" and step into the "kingdom of gods".

But in terms of results, it must have all failed.

In other words, even the resurrection of the pharaohs of the past is nothing more than a collection of losers.

That is to say, apart from being commemorated, those "pioneers" who crossed the river by feeling the stones thousands of years ago are absolutely unable to fight against the very mature modern magic theory.

"The magician who was forcibly endowed by the 'Original Code' to the Egyptian 'Goddess of the Dead', I originally thought that her phase was more suitable for Nephthys, so the 'Original Code' chose this goddess as the 'material'."

"Originally thought", that is to say, the conclusion should be just the opposite.

"But it's not true. It's not 'She is suitable for Nephthys, so I chose Nephthys', but 'Nefthys is suitable for her, so I chose her'."

"Are you saying that their purpose from the very beginning was to resurrect some goddess from Egyptian mythology? But why? If it is to gain power or make the Egyptian system surpass other magical systems, then the sun god Ra should not be chosen, or war, The desert god Set?"

Sigurd nodded, his initial doubts were the same as Carissa's at this time.

For a moment, he didn't understand why those guys gave up Ra and chose Nephthys.

After all, this is as strange as the Nordic mages who choose Gullveig instead of the Great God Odin, the Gun God, the Hammer Thor, or even the Queen of the Underworld.

It's not that those goddesses are weak or have a low status in the mythology, but that although they are all main gods, they don't have very shocking stories and deeds, and they are more of a foil to and assist other main gods.

"I don't know about that either."

Sigurd shrugged, and he couldn't understand the straightforward description.

Sigurd is very strong, and also has the pinnacle of magic knowledge.

But he's also just a human being, even a soul-cloaked idiot who'll be raided in the jewelry district by a salesperson's flattery.

Without any clues, there is no direction to guess, and pure blindness is definitely not advisable.

But Sigurd's "can't figure it out" is deeper than the two princesses.

The second princess Carissa and the first princess Melia may not understand why the other party chose Nephthys.

But what Sigurd couldn't understand was why the Nephthys they recognized was an existence that used sound and vibration to kill?

Whether it is a local story or an orthodox mythology, Nephthys should not have such a performance.

And the only possibility of accessing Nephthys in this manifestation...

Shaking his head, Sigurd gave up thinking about it.

After all, such a situation is unreasonable no matter from that perspective.

"Sigurd-kun! Let's play beach volleyball!"

Seeing Junko and the others having fun on the beach, Sigurd smiled as if relaxed.

He put the iced coffee in his hand on the table, then got up and left the range of the parasol.

"There is a saying in China that 'the car must find a road before the mountain'. Thinking so much is just adding trouble to yourself."

"Oh, indeed. After all, no matter what those guys want to do, you can easily crush them."

"Although I can't endorse the practice of throwing the problem on others. But I agree with Carissa on this matter."

The two princesses also spoke in a relaxed manner, and it was obvious that the shoulders of the two British princesses had relaxed a lot.

"So how about a game? Just play beach volleyball?"

"It's a showdown. You said the same thing when you were riding a horse last time. Who is it that refuses to admit it in the end?"

"Stop talking nonsense, come or not?"

"Whoever is afraid of whom. Just don't admit that someone loses again."

Seeing the younger sister who was fighting against Sigurd with the Tokiwadai students, Melia also sighed.

Even though he is in his 20s, he likes to mess around with Sigurd like a child.

In a sense, Carissa can also be regarded as inheriting Queen Elisa's mischievous nature, although this situation will only appear on certain occasions.

"However, this mercenary doesn't seem to be as serious as you said. Are you a little paranoid?"

"I hope so. After all, I always thought that I could somewhat understand this mercenary's thinking. But in the end, I still don't seem to understand anything."

"Maybe he didn't have that complicated idea at all. Just 'I wanted to do it, so I did it'?"

Sylvia helped her forehead helplessly, and she could only nod her head acquiescingly to what the first princess said.

After all, looking at Sigurd who was competing with the second princess or other Tokiwadai girls on the beach, he really didn't see anything unusual.

Sylvia was relieved when she thought it was her own paranoia.

The thoughtful first princess looked at the British maid saint, and then at her own princess.

"This mercenary is really..."

Chapter 230 Nine: Girls Buying Souvenirs

This is near the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland, as a country of magic and a part of the UK, is naturally a region with a strong flavor of magic.

On the flag of Northern Ireland, there is also a red cross that symbolizes St. Patrick.

At this time, in a shopping street full of religious flavor, those students who came to Academy City in England for the first time were talking and laughing, planning where to go later.

Although it is not a special festival, it seems that the royal family members intend to go there.

Today's shopping street is extremely lively.

"Little girl, let's take a look. It's hard to come to Northern Ireland once. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't buy some souvenirs?"

"this is?"

"This is an ancient coin that will bring good luck. Although it's not the original one, that kind of old antique is also at the level of cultural relics. But don't worry, although it is an imitation, the effect will not be too bad, okay?"

Yuri Qianye looked curiously at the coin handed to her by the man. The silver appearance was slightly oxidized, but the details could be seen to be quite good.

Although the materials used are definitely cheap to a touching degree, but the workmanship is really good.

"How much is this?"

"Seeing that you like it so much, little girl, how about ten pounds? This is a super discounted price, huh? If it is an ordinary tourist, I can charge fifteen pounds."

Yuli Qianye did not answer the conversation immediately, but looked at the coins under him with relish.

And the shop owner seemed to think that Yuri Qianye thought it was too expensive.

(Then it’s better to have a little less, anyway, this thing is also leftover from sale...)

Every year, many tourists come to watch the "Giant's Causeway", so the souvenirs are also selling well.

Especially for tourists from the East, it seems that as long as they wear the label "it will bring good luck", they will easily spend money.

Moreover, coins like this are indeed generally stacked in other things before they can be disposed of for a few pennies as a "bonus".

"Of course, seeing how happy you are, little girl..."

"Give."

Taking the orange Queen Elizabeth II that Yuri Qianya handed to her, she subconsciously pressed it back when it reached her lips.

Seeing Yuri Chiya who was bouncing around with Junko Fanfeng and the others, and who was playing with the "lucky coin" all the time.

"Am I calling too little? Are all the students in Academy City spending so much money?"

In fact, it is not Yuli Qianye's extravagance.

Firstly, Yuri Qianye has been in the research institute since he was very young, so Yuri Qianye actually doesn't know much about the outside world.

To put it simply, Yuli Qianye doesn't know how to bargain at all, and doesn't know how to bargain.

Secondly, Yuli Qianye is indeed not short of money.Because of a certain researcher, Yuri Qianye's account had an extra six-figure "research assistance subsidy", so ten pounds really wasn't too much.

Moreover, there is a high probability that Yuri Qianye can't understand the value of ten pounds at all. Maybe she even equated ten yen with ten coins.

And three times, under the influence of Sigurd, Yuri Qianye has no resistance to things with the label of "bringing luck".

After all, the necklace that Sigurd gave to Yuri Qianya during the "Tai artificial house" was a saying like "jewelry that will bring good luck".

Although Yuri Qianye didn't understand the essential difference between these two kinds of "bringing luck".

Because there are many students in Tokiwadai, and this time they will be allowed to go to the UK because Academy City and the UK have always maintained a benign relationship, even if something like that happened 20 years ago, it is still the same.

In addition to the special case of Sigurd among the entourage, Britain also acquiesced that the students of Academy City ran around in Northern Ireland.

Although Tokiwadai only has a junior high school, the number of students is still not a small number.

Therefore, the students were also divided into several groups.

"Misaka, this is so cute, isn't it?"

"Well, but as a souvenir or something, you should choose something special, right?"

Misaka Mikoto looked at her classmates looking at a shop that could customize dolls with relish.

Although the workmanship of those dolls is very exquisite, and the price is a drop in the bucket for this group of young ladies, Misaka Mikoto is actually not very interested in such things.

Looking left and right, Misaka Mikoto spotted a girl with a street stall on the side of the street.

Although she was squatting, Misaka Mikoto could still see that the other party was not tall, and her long black hair was only tied into three bundles at the front and dyed yellow.
