People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

She is a Battle Sister belonging to the "Agnese Unit" of the Roman Orthodox Church.

Although she is a nun, she is closer in nature to a mage from the "Church of Necessary Evil".

Their daily work is not to pray or anything else, but to accept the assignment of the church as a "combat force" and go to various parts of the world to perform tasks.

Assassination, intelligence acquisition, recovery of defectors, or crusade against witches.

That's what they do, and it's been like this since the establishment of this nun troop called "Agnes Troop".

They have no complaints. After all, if there is no Roman Orthodox Church, then they would not be where they are now.

Without exception, they are all "orphans" taken in by the Roman Orthodox Church who were separated from their own membership for various reasons and were taken in by the Roman Orthodox Church without a fixed place to live.

They were raised in the church and received Roman Orthodox teachings from an early age.

They wanted to prove their worth, so they chose to become "magicians".

They are different from the magicians who belong to the modern theory in general cognition.

They don't have a "reason to be a magician", that is, what is called a "magic name".

In other words, they are completely different from beings like Stiyl or Kanzaki Kaori.

They are not the kind of people who "have a wish in their hearts but can't realize it, have prayed to God but have not received any response, so they lose their direction, and finally devote themselves to the super back door of magic".

They are not children crying while holding a knife, but children who have been betrayed by the world and cry and tremble.

They are willing to become "magicians" in order to repay the Roman Orthodox Church for their upbringing and teaching, and to spread the teachings of "God" to the suffering people.

In limited memory, the last time she was able to stop thinking about any troubles and relax completely was when she, Agnes and others went to study in the church's orphanage a few years ago.

Agnes...

Angelina...

Everyone! ! ! ! !

I opened my eyes suddenly, and the first thing I saw was the old wooden ceiling.

Without any decoration, only a very retro chandelier illuminates the room.

"Uki (Rukia) nun... are you awake?"

"Sister Angelina?"

Looking back, the little nun with freckles was fighting with the food in front of her.

His mouth was full, and his face was bulging like a hamster.

"Sister Angelina, what's going on?"

"It's like this, we..."

After finally swallowing the food in her mouth, the little nun who was holding a huge tomahawk steak was interrupted before she could explain.

"It seems that you have a lot of questions. Anyway, let's eat something first. Before you were sent here by the Roman Orthodox Church, it must have been a while since you had a good meal?"

"That's right! Although I didn't receive corporal punishment, I was locked in the room all the time, and I could only eat all kinds of gooey things sent by other people. That kind of food is incomparable to these delicacies!!!! !"

Putting the salad in her hand in front of Sister Angelina, the blond maid spoke in a rather stern tone.

"It's useless to flatter me. It doesn't matter if you eat more, but you must eat this salad without any leftover."

"Eh?! Yes, but in this kind of situation, vegetarian salad and the like are... no! Please don't take away the delicious steak, I will eat it, I will finish it right away!!!"

Seeing that Angelina gritted her teeth and ate the broccoli that she usually ate in order to keep the steak in front of her, coupled with the scent wafting in the air, Sister Lucia's stomach also made a "protest" sound.

"The stomach is always honest. When explaining the current situation to Xiang, eat something first, otherwise you won't have the strength to 'work' later, okay?"

"Well......"

A little embarrassed, the tall and tall Rukia sat beside Angelina with a blushing face.

"We thank you that the poor will be fed and filled, and those who seek the Lord will praise..."

She didn't interrupt Rukia's pre-dinner prayers. Although Silvia didn't feel too cold about such things, as a professional maid, she would not interrupt Rukia rudely.

After a while, Sister Rukia finished her prayer and finally moved the tableware.

She unhurriedly put some vegetables on the plate, and then brought the vegetable juice that Angelina had discarded to the side in front of her, carefully but carefully confirming whether the food she took was enough.

"Lukia, all the bitter foods you take like this? Although it's not bad to have some occasionally, I have never noticed before. When you choose your own food, you will unconsciously enter Is it someone who has entered the penance mode?"

"This is just based on my personal habits. Besides, this maid lady just said that we still have 'work' later, and it's just right if the stomach is about [-]% full. If you eat too much, you will to trouble others."

"Eh?! Didn't we get caught? What else can we do? Aren't we full enough to go on the road?"

Seeing Angelina staring blankly at her with the Tomahawk steak in her hand, Sister Lucia was also left speechless by her "colleague".

"Let me explain why you are here and what you are going to do next."

Just when Rukia was about to ask, the door of the room was pushed open.

There was a team of six or seven people who entered the room, and the origin of the other party could not be seen at all from the attire alone, but the young Rukia who was the leader was "fresh in his memory".

"Sigurd... sir?"

Almost blurted out the name of the mercenary who indirectly caused them to fall here.

But considering that the other party had rescued Agnes before, and now it seemed that he was the one who rescued her and Angelina from the Roman Orthodox Church.

Therefore, although Rukia didn't have much affection for Sigurd, her own upbringing forced her to add the word "sir" at the end.

"Eh!? Are you the mercenary who caused us to be brought here? Agnes also said, 'Which mercenary is so kind, we shouldn't be protected from that kind of disaster'... "

"Sister Angelina!"

Seemingly realizing that what she said was inappropriate, Angelina, who thought it was wrong, immediately buried herself in the fight with the food, hoping to avoid the question just now.

On the other hand, Sister Rukia put down the silver fork in her hand.

Seriously looking into Sigurd's eyes, Rukia seemed to hope to read something from Sigurd's eyes.

"I have a general understanding of your situation, which is why I rushed to Venice non-stop as soon as I solved the problem of playing those idiots in Scotland."

"why?"

Sigurd is a mercenary who does not rely on any forces. It is true that he is free to appear wherever he appears.

But according to Sigurd's "self-report" just now, he should appear here with some kind of purpose.

(Is it because you feel that you have harmed Agnes, so you want to rescue her?)

Although Rukia had such thoughts, she couldn't read any guilt from Sigurd's eyes.

Moreover, although she didn't want to admit it, Rukia also understood that what they did at the time could not be called a "just act".

"Because that old Matthew Lees broke his promise."

"The Pope, he..."

Rukia wanted to say something, but for her now, she really couldn't say anything in defense of the Roman Orthodox Church.

It was the Roman Orthodox Church who asked them to lie about "the Book of the Law was stolen" and "Ossola was taken away by the 'Amakusa Style'", but it was also the Roman Orthodox Church who blamed all these crimes on Yani who "faithfully executed" the order silk head.

Perhaps when the original Rukia heard such disrespectful words about the Pope, she would be filled with righteous indignation and question Sigurd regardless of the power gap between the two parties, but now she...

I am not sure whether I will be able to believe in the Roman Orthodox Church in the future.

Chapter 450 Seven: The Queen's Fleet

After eating, Sister Rukia and Sister Angelina also got into the mood immediately.

During the meal, the two sides have already briefly explained the information and goals at hand.

For now, the "stakes" of both sides are the same.

"'Queen of the Adriatic Sea (lareginadelmareadriatico)' was originally a large-scale combat spiritual outfit completed in the ninth century AD. At the beginning, it was a tactical-level lethal weapon dedicated to destroying Venice, but later because the city was considered An economically important place, if you do it rashly, it may lead to incalculable consequences and be abandoned."

"It's just an antique."

For the man's overview of the goals of this trip, Sigurd just made such an evaluation.

Drinking the coffee brought by Sylvia, because I have to work all night tonight, coffee is a necessary energy supplement.

"It's just an 'old antique'. If it is constructed using modern theories, its size and performance can be more than doubled. I don't know why the Roman Orthodox Church keeps this 'slow' garbage as a treasure."

Such an evaluation is correct. The "base" on which the magical combat spiritual outfit "Queen of the Adriatic Sea" was born in the ninth century AD is absolutely ancient, and the oldest large-scale spiritual outfit left in the world is also the only one. There is this "Giant Ice Ship".

"Although this is good, this thing is quite troublesome. After all, it is the only one that is regarded as a 'heirloom' by the Roman Orthodox Church. The original goal was to 'destroy the city'. The destructive power of this 'old antique' cannot be underestimated."

"Speaking of which, Andrew, we have seen it before when we were performing assassination missions, right, that 'Queen'?"

The woman sitting next to Sigurd with her legs crossed held the neck of the bottle with one hand, pouring down the high-strength spirit like drinking water.

She wears a short skirt, an open-necked top, and a glove that reaches to her upper arm on her right hand and a lace glove on her left.The left glove is pink, while the right is white on the front and black on the back.

On her left hand is a ring with engraved letters, which is very similar to the "Silver Ten Rings" that Stiyl repeatedly modified and optimized in Sigurd's "Teaching (Beats)".

She is smiling while playing with her bangs with her left hand.

"Yes, at that time we were 'hiding', so we were not discovered. But although we said we were 'seen', we were actually several nautical miles away."

And the tall man who was the subject of the question also nodded.

He was wearing a coat like that of an ancient nobleman, and the "Medal" can even be seen on it.

He wears a popular "tricorned hat" in the [-]th century, and a shield coat of arms of the Golden Deer Regiment is embroidered in the center of the hat, which is consistent with the coat of arms on his chest.

However, although on the whole he feels like a "European naval general of the last century", his speech and behavior all give people the illusion that "this guy is a pirate".

"In short, the frigate 'Queen Fleet' consisting of more than a hundred ice frigates is deployed around the 'Queen'. If you want to rely on our 'ship' to break through the range net, it is not impossible. But then we would have to fight the whole 'fleet'."

"Break through the 'Queen's Fleet' head-on?"

"How is this possible!? That is the 'strongest fleet' that the Roman Orthodox Church regards as the number one combat force at sea?"

Looking at the surprised faces of Rukia and Sister Angelina, the man in the three-cornered hat let out a heroic and disdainful laugh like a general.

"Hahahahahaha, are you just a group of 'magic sticks' who actually try to dominate the sea? Just sit in your warm little room and be read. Your Roman Orthodox 'fleet' is nothing more than a 'beautiful boat', and Lao Tzu's 'Golden Hind' is no match except for the suppression of numbers?"

"you!!!!"

"Don't excite the Roman Orthodox nuns..."

It was the woman who gulped down the wine who spoke.
