People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

With a "poof", Index stopped making any sound.

All abnormal changes disappeared.

Aside from the wreckage of a large number of spiritual clothes that were destroyed in the room, it was no different from the previous room.

"The timing is just right..."

Hearing Sigurd's voice, Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl looked out the window towards the sky.

The starlight of Leo is the brightest moment.

The "automatic bookkeeper" has crashed, so the next step is the final "cleaning" step.

It's another year of "new life". When the girl named Index wakes up again, she won't remember that she wandered for a whole year in order to avoid two Puritan magicians.

She will only remember that there are two gentle magicians as her friends, and she had a long, long dream before.

That's it.

Chapter 340 Three: The Difficult Lola

Here is the streets of London in July, and there is a small figure trotting along the old road.

It was a nun wearing a white nun's uniform with gold embroidery patterns like black tea cups.

This is a girl named Index.

"Steyer, Hiori, in such a luxurious dessert shop, but you are only allowed to choose three kinds of food. This is absolutely unscientific!!! I have a full chest and back! !! Dessert or something, three are not enough!!!!!!”

"Wait a minute, Index, but you just finished your lunch."

"Kanzaki, it's not the first day you've met this kid, you're half-full at most, right?"

"Really. Eating indiscriminately like this will ruin your stomach."

Seeing the two elite magicians of the "Church of Necessary Evil" running around behind Index in a hurry, Laura smiled with an unknown meaning.

Picking up the black tea in front of him and taking a sip, the highest bishop named Laura looked at the mercenary opposite him.

"It looks like the kid is quite happy."

"Let the fart go."

Glancing at Laura angrily, Sigurd knew better than anyone else that there must be nothing good about the bitch calling him to London.

"Don't say that. Could it be that I chose a plain dress to show my approachable side and chat with you a little bit?"

Wearing a simple beige monk's uniform, it seems that there are only girls on the left and right, talking calmly.

"I didn't expect you to call this dress 'plain'."

There is actually no problem with this.

Strictly speaking, according to regulations, only the five colors of white, red, black, green, and purple and gold thread for decoration can be used in the clothing of priests, so this girl actually secretly violated the regulations.

Moreover, she is probably the only one who thinks that as long as she wears such clothes, she can make herself inconspicuous, right?

This monastic uniform is not considered slim, but because the material is very soft, it is easy to show the curves of the girl's body.

In addition, she has crystal fair skin, clear and transparent blue eyes, and shiny golden hair that is not surprising even if it is sold in a gem shop. No matter what the situation, she is incompatible with the people around her.

In fact, if it weren't for this store, it was originally an "official" coffee shop for the out-of-towners of the "Church of Necessary Evil" to prepare and assemble.

So it itself has the rune of "making magicians in strange clothes less eye-catching", otherwise Lola might have been visited as a monkey in the zoo by now, right?

"So? What's the matter?"

"It's about the kid."

"for example?"

Laura sighed, running her fingers along the rim of her teacup.

"Mercenary, you should know the current situation in Britain, right?"

"A witch making trouble?"

"No, it's the Cavaliers."

Sighing, it seemed to be a headache for the Supreme Bishop.

There is no doubt that Britain is the most special magical country in the world.

The collection of "three factions and four cultures" is both powerful and fragile.

Since there are four cultures in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in terms of geography and culture, there is no big problem in itself, and the final rights are still concentrated in England, and the other three regions themselves do not have much rights.

But the three factions are somewhat different.

The "royal faction", "knight faction" and "puritan faction", the three factions work together to check and balance each other. They are not only a shield to protect the United Kingdom, but also a dangerous double-edged sword.

There is a check and balance relationship among these three forces that "the 'royal faction' controls the 'knight faction' with royal orders, the 'knight faction' uses the 'puritan faction' with state affairs tools, and the 'puritan faction' manipulates the 'royal faction' with church advice".

As long as one of the parties insists on going its own way on the policy, the other two will use various roundabout methods to create a strong wave of protest to prevent the implementation of the policy.

Among them, apart from the "royal faction" linked by blood ties, the other "puritan faction" and "knight faction" are not solid organizations of "one heart and one body".

After all, the "Puritanism" is also an organization established by human beings, and naturally there are all kinds of people.

Moreover, judging from the structural characteristics, among the Christian sects, I am afraid that there is no division of any state religion that is as complicated as the English Puritanism.

Not only is the internal magician system complicated, but even the struggle for power between the "Church of Necessary Evil" and the "Temple of Canterbury" in its own institution has never stopped.

The "Knights" are actually similar. At present, apart from the "Knights" that belong directly to the Queen, there are already some schools that inherit the aggressive spirit of the Crusades. Some people even plan to turn the whole world into a British colony. All national flags have been changed to the same pattern.

Moreover, the leader of the "Knight faction" is the head of the Knights, and the head of the Knights largely obeys the orders of the "Royal faction", but this does not mean that the "Knight faction" is directly controlled by the "Royal faction".

Because not everyone in the "Knight Faction" actually obeys the Knight Commander.

To put it more accurately, if it is to safeguard the interests and rule of the United Kingdom, then it does not matter even if there are differences in ideas between the two sides, or even conflicts in political opinions.

But if it is in other respects, or if a certain genre believes that the head of the knights also threatens the safety of Britain, then they will also swing their swords at the head of the knights mercilessly.

"Actually, we signed a 'treaty' with the leader of Academy City."

"Don't tell me you plan to send Index to Academy City?"

Sigurd frowned, he didn't want to hear such words from Laura.

But the next second, Sigurd relaxed again.

He's not an idiot, and Laura can understand Sigurd's reason for doing this without even specifically explaining Sigurd.

Now that the "collar" on Index has been destroyed, the safety device is incomplete, which means that it is very likely that it will be taken away by hostile forces.

Once such information is learned by some radical sects in the "Knights", then Index may be required to cut off both hands and feet, and become a disabled person and be imprisoned underground in the Tower of London.

Laura didn't want that, but Sigurd knew it wasn't just a sudden outburst of kindness from the vixen.

"If that child is...to be honest, it's not just Kanzaki Kaori and Steele, but even the Canterbury Cathedral will definitely not treat it as a no See."

If the "Knight Faction" requested such treatment of Index, then considering the safety issue, the "Royal Faction" could not directly veto it.

Joining the "royal faction" and nodding, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the members of the "puritan faction".

Although it is said that there are "three factions", in fact, the three factions are still divided into high and low.

Royal faction > Knight faction > Puritan faction

The Puritan magicians who were originally dissatisfied with this may detonate this behavior. Once the dispute between the "Puritan" and "Knights" breaks out, Britain will face serious civil strife.

And if the "royal faction" disagrees with this approach, then there will be voices of dissatisfaction within the "knight faction". Whether the same thing as the incident 20 years ago will happen, no one knows.

It's okay to just complain when it doesn't happen, but if the "scenario reappears" then the conflict will be even more dire than the first scenario.

Chapter 340 Four: Problems and where to go in the "Category of Prohibited Books"

"Your British Puritanism has not been swallowed by the Roman Orthodox Church until today, and it can basically be classified as a miracle."

"..."

"I really don't know what to keep those idiots with silver pewter heads. If the 'royal family' is afraid of such things as appointment and dismissal, then the establishment of the 'Puritanism' by King Henry VIII of England back then would not be unreasonable." Does it make no sense?"

In fact, the original purpose of the Puritan sect was to prevent other countries from interfering in its own internal affairs, but in the final development, the Puritan sect became larger and larger, so it became not inferior to the "knight sect" and "royal sect". the third largest faction.

But this is actually beneficial. Although this makes many members of the "Knights" unhappy, the Puritans' efforts to maintain British stability are not insignificant.

But now, I am troubled by such a simple issue as the "Category of Prohibited Books", and a large part of it is that the "royal faction" cannot "stop when it is time".

To put it bluntly, the "royal faction" missed the old love and couldn't bear to dismiss the older generation of knights who had meritorious deeds.

To put it bluntly, it is the indecision of the "royal faction", and it is because of the queen's fear that the knights who should have been loyal to the royal family now have a large number of "heretical knights".

Among the existing knights of the "Knights", only the "1st-lancer Knights (7st-lancer)" and "Double Axe Knights ([-]th-axer)" are completely subordinate to Queen Elisa.

Some of the remaining knights only obeyed the orders of the knight leader, and some seemed to be very close to the second princess.

What's more, they don't listen to anyone at all, and make judgments entirely on their own will.

The most typical example is that 20 years ago, he disobeyed the orders of the then head of the Knights, Queen Elisa, and Laura, who was the Puritan bishop at the time, and acted without authorization to kill the "exchange student" Ellie of Academy City. Silk's "Knights of the Iron Rod (5th-macer)".

"We are also aware of the problems of the 'Knights', but there is nothing we can do at this sensitive point in time. Moreover, if we choose to attack the 'Knights' at this point in time for the sake of that child, we will undoubtedly fall into a trap." The United Kingdom is at war."

"So, you didn't grasp the excellent opportunity ten years ago. You didn't want to clean up your own backyard first, but wanted to spread your influence to the Americas. Don't you know that the 'Cthulhu Department' has been ' And the 'Aztec line' is finished?"

Laura couldn't refute that ten years ago, when the Spanish Star Cult held the third princess hostage, it was indeed an excellent time to clean up the Knights.

At that time, the entire magic side was at an opportunity where no one wanted to further expand the turmoil. It was precisely because no church or force dared to aggravate the war at that peculiar time, so no one even dared to denounce the almost complete destruction of Spain. Sigurd of the Star Cult.

But in the same way, Britain, which was immersed in victory, except for focusing on profiting from the Spanish Star Cult, did not use it to clean up the pests of the Knights on the grounds of "unfavorable work". That is why it once led to various problems now.

"There is no way. Although they will indeed cause a lot of problems, it cannot be ignored that many of them are indeed the mainstay of the 'Knights'. If they are all dismissed at once, it is not only a matter of 'people's hearts', but also a matter of concern." The decline in British combat power is also something to consider."

"Then let those royal fools keep messing around with the word 'noble'."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Sigurd looked at Index who was sweeping the cake across the street.

How should I put it, he used to be Index's "guardian", but this mercenary was just a "guardian".

That period of time was also the most chaotic period in Northern Europe, so in fact Sigurd's focus has always been on the issues of Northern Europe. ".

And for Sigurd, Index is just a "little nun who can eat very much". For this "Catalogue of Forbidden Books", Sigurd did not talk to Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl. What a strong relationship to build.

"Does it have to be sent to Academy City? If I secretly strengthen it, won't it be discovered?"
