People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

Looking at Takemiya Saiji and the others who staggered out of the underground bar while supporting each other, Urakami and Itsuwa cast doubtful eyes in Sigurd's direction.

"Stop acting, we still have to meet with the person in charge of the 'Knight Faction'."

"What, so you saw it?"

"Let me just say, this kind of acting skills can't fool him."

Changing from the stumbling appearance just now, Jiangong Zhaizi, Niu Shen and the others didn't look drunk except for a little red face.

"Your Amakusa-style survival policy is doomed that you need to have the necessary acting skills, and taking poison to fake death in person should also be handy."

Indeed, the nature of the Amakusa style led them to pretend to drink poisoned wine, or even pretend to cut seppuku, in order to deceive the enemy by feigning death to gain the possibility of escape.

And the skill of drinking the wine but being able to spit it out easily afterwards is basically a necessary basic skill.

"but......"

Wiping away the residue from the corner of his mouth with a paper towel, Jian Gongzhai, who completely spit out the drink, was a little concerned about the strong man just now.

"Is that guy a British knight? If he is qualified to hang the coat of arms symbolizing the status of a knight on the corridor of Buckingham Palace, that means he is a knight recognized by the Knights until now, right?"

Indeed, those who are eligible to hang their own coat of arms in Buckingham Palace are undoubtedly knights recognized by the Knights.

And if it is known that they have not been taken off now, it means that the slovenly looking burly man just now is still a British knight belonging to the "Knights", at least for now.

"Mackintosh Adonis, the former head of the '1st-lancer', was assigned to Scotland after the reform of the 'Knights' organization seven years ago as an informant for the transition between the Knights and the Puritans .”

"He seems hostile to...someone?"

Jian Gongzhai thought about his choice of words a little bit.

His eyes glanced back unconsciously.

Its own dirty speakeasy, guarding the beer kegs every day.

If such a guy is a knight, then Jiangong Saizi seems to have to make a small change in his views on the British "Knights".

"In terms of identity, he is still a member of the 'Knights' faction of Scotland. But personally, he has long since denied that he is still a knight."

"But if he is a person passing intelligence to the Puritans from the Scottish side, then..."

"Because the 'Royal Faction' and the 'Knight Faction', or to be more accurate, Queen Elisa, as well as the active knight leader are all aware of his situation."

"?"

"Strictly speaking, tolerating his behavior without getting rid of his status as a 'knight', and even paying his monthly salary as usual, is in a sense a kind of compensation for him from the United Kingdom, which has disappointed him so much?"

【compensate】

This vocabulary is very intriguing.

"The current Mackintosh has no place in the British system of 'three factions and four cultures'. The 'Knights' regard him as a 'disgrace', and the 'Puritanists' regard him as a 'heresy'." , while the 'royal faction' saw them as 'defectors'."

"..."

"In the 'Four Cultures', it is even more tacit to separate him from himself, and even the magic association with the 'Free Man' doesn't like him very much."

Basically, it can be said that they are "knights" who no longer have a foothold in the UK.

However, the reason for such an "abnormality" cannot be imagined by Jian Gongzhai.

"Besides, although this time he is serving as a handover officer with the Puritan sect, he is inferior to me, a 'mercenary', in terms of standpoint. I'm afraid the fellows of the Puritan sect call him an 'information dealer'. "

"Did something ever happen?"

"Holegres Millets. An aristocrat somewhere between the 'royal faction' and the 'knight faction'."

The topic seems to be about power and status, and Jian Gong Zhaizi is not very interested in this.

In fact, Sigurd himself didn't like to discuss such things, so he didn't elaborate on the cause and effect, but simply explained the context.

"Simply put, the pig just wanted fame. He was an Earl of the United Kingdom, who was first 'page' to a certain knight at a young age in accordance with the old tradition, and at the Afterwards, I became a full-fledged knight quite smoothly through my family's relationship."

"An unsurprising development."

"What happened after that was not complicated. It was this idiot who was in Scotland at the time who wanted to violate the orders issued by England and kill all the witches who were not under the jurisdiction of the Puritan sect."

However, it is not strange at all to say that it is a very "old-fashioned" approach to Jian Gong Zhai.

Although they didn't come to England for a long time, from the Puritan magician who was in charge of receiving them, they also read that they were far more "old" than their Amakusa style.

In this United Kingdom, there is still an old-fashioned atmosphere, where birth or bloodline basically determines whether your future path is smooth or not.

It's not that you can't become a high-ranking person without blood and identity, but it's definitely more difficult than those "relationship households".

"At that time, Mackintosh was ordered to come here because of the disbandment and reorganization of the "Knights of the Gunners". The Ci family's influence in Scotland."

Boring tugging of the political right.

This is no surprise, but the reason for its outrageousness made Jian Gong Zhaizi really unable to laugh.

"Then you can almost guess it."

"He refused orders from Holegres..."

"Even knocked down Holegres's subordinates, and released the witches who were imprisoned and awaiting 'trial'."

Leading Jiangong Zhaizi and others to walk on the street, today's Edinburgh is a bit abnormally quiet.

"After that, the 'Royal Faction' and the 'Knight Faction' wanted to stabilize the situation in Scotland. At the same time, they didn't want to cause further dissatisfaction with the Miletz family because of this turmoil in a possible witch rebellion, so they decided... "

"unacceptable."

"These British upper-class guys, have their heads caught in the door?"

The follow-up content can be thought of by Jian Gongzhai and others without going into details.

This is a fact that anyone who hears will find outrageous and unfair.

But when McIntosh was "sentenced", no one stood up to speak for him.

Queen Eliza did not, Knight Leader did not, and High Bishop Lola did not.

Not even one of his companions who had fought alongside him stood up, even though his former "deputy commander" was one of the knights who arrested him. Defend him even a word.

Loyal, kind, knight who fights for justice against injustice and evil.

But he was betrayed by the kingdom he guarded, the royal family he served, and his former comrades-in-arms.

Jian Gong Zhai word just a little into it, I feel an unknown fire rising from my heart.

"However, although this knight speaks bad words about Britain, he is always on call when the United Kingdom needs it."

"Although he looks sloppy, I can't see any decadence from him. In fact, if he is required to go to the battlefield now, I'm afraid he will still be a fighter who will give the enemy a headache."

Sigurd didn't show much expression, and only responded silently to the evaluations of Jiangong Zhaizi and Niu Shen.

This is nothing to discuss.

Or that there is no need to discuss it at all.

There is no doubt at all, if the United Kingdom is now invaded by foreign enemies, this seemingly sloppy uncle will definitely be the first group of people.

If he needs to use his body to block the enemy's shelling for the United Kingdom at this time, he will also take the shield and rush to the forefront with his body without hesitation.

He may indeed have a fair amount of hatred for his unjust "Royals," "Knights," and even his silent "Puritans," but that doesn't prevent him from still fighting for the United Kingdom.

He is hostile to those corrupt nobles who can only talk about it but do nothing in practice.

But he still loves deeply, and can swing the sword for his country without regret.

But the irony is that such a knight with infinite loyalty to the country has fallen here.

However, the nobles of the local emperor who violated orders countless times and only wanted honor and fame were able to get away with it, and even shamelessly put their "arms" on the flag, and called themselves "loyal knights of the kingdom" to others.

Humility, Honor, Sacrifice, Valor, Mercy, Spirit, Honesty, Justice

Trust the church, defend the church, respect and protect the weak, be loyal to the country, fear the enemy, fight the heathen without mercy, perform feudal duties under the guidance of God, be true to the word, give selflessly, always fight injustice and goodness with justice and goodness evil.

Eight Virtues, Ten Commandments of Knights.

All of the above non-committal idiots are called the "mainstay" of the United Kingdom by Laura, the supreme bishop of the Puritan sect?

Everyone knows that such guys are vermin, and they are just trash with silver-colored pewter tips, idiots who can't do anything except tell their subordinates what to do.

But no one, even Lola, the supreme bishop, the head of the knights, and Eliza, the queen of the United Kingdom, dared not attack him.

In the final analysis, the current UK is just relying on the heritage accumulated in the past to maintain a gorgeous shell.

The gold and jade are ruined from the outside.

There is no better metaphor to apply to Britain at this time than this.

Chapter 430 Three: I'm afraid Scotland will change this time......

Sigurd walks the streets of Edinburgh alone.

There are no pedestrians around, and the only trace of magic is the ancient magic circle left over a hundred years ago, which is still faithfully fulfilling its duties.

The members of the Amakusa style have dispersed and are running around in order to collect the necessary information.

Although they already possessed the information provided by Mackintosh, for Amakusa, they believed more in the information they searched.

Moreover, this time their purpose is not as simple as solving the incident.

The reason why they came here from the Puritans was to assess whether they were qualified to join the "Church of Necessary Evil", and if they simply accepted the information of the "informant" without confirming it, then the British side is likely to Their application to join will be rejected on this ground.

Scanning the surroundings left and right, Sigurd's gaze was fixed on a dark alley that was so common that it would not make people think there was anything wrong with it appearing in all parts of the world.

The ancient stone buildings on the left and right have blocked the sunlight, and the dark alleys are like a monster with a wide mouth, waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.

"Faster than expected."

"Mr. Sigurd, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A heavy steel palm shining with silver light reached out to Sigurd.

Then, two full sets of Western bell armor left the shadow of the alley and appeared in front of Sigurd.

From the top of the head to the tip of the toes, every inch of skin is covered by steel bell armor, which looks completely devoid of human taste.

Sigurd looked at the words "United Kingdom" engraved on the wrist armor of the knight stretching towards him.

This represents the United Kingdom, a collective country of "three factions and four cultures".

He didn't intend to shake hands with the other party, Sigurd has always been able to save this kind of redundant etiquette.
