People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

It is clear from the conversations of the French people that Sigurd's plan was very successful.

Now the "general world" is largely aimed at the Roman Orthodox Church.

Although it cannot be said that they must support Academy City, it is enough as long as they do not support the Roman Orthodox Church.

After all, this is what Sigurd wants. After all, the strength of the Roman Orthodox Church is largely based on the "many people".

Whether it is "Grigor's Choir", "Fish for Dinner" or "the divine power that has guided 2000 billion Christians in the past 20 years", the basis is "there are many people".

The strength of the Roman Orthodox Church comes from the number of believers. When necessary, the power of 20 billion believers in the world can be gathered. The fighting power that the Roman Orthodox Church can explode is beyond imagination.

Especially if the Roman Orthodox Church led the "20 billion Christians" collectively into a state of hostility to Sigurd, the combined blow would be of a magnitude that even Sigurd could not erase at will.

(However, now the French magicians themselves are gradually showing dissatisfaction with the Roman Orthodox Church, and the "Daughter of the Overwhelmed Nation" should also start looking for opportunities to break away from the control of the Roman Orthodox Church.)

Because of the previous turmoil in France, the two parties who had been hostile internally for more than ten years also reached a consensus.

At the moment when mutual misunderstandings are eliminated and the Roman Orthodox Church is at an absolute disadvantage in public opinion, there is no doubt that it is an excellent opportunity for France to break away from the control of the Roman Orthodox Church.

At this time, the "counsellor group (feminine family of the country)" and "force group (former resistance group)" in France have been completely integrated. Cavaliers" fought back and forth.

(Although Academy City and the Roman Orthodox Church have shown their will to confront each other, they have not yet developed into a real military operation. Even so, unpleasant "changes" are indeed eroding the world...)

It is inevitable to develop into a military action, but it is hard to say whether it is a "military action" that can be put on the face and recognized by the "general world".

Sigurd is a black-haired Asian, but because of the particularity of this store, he won't make it difficult for him to come in specially.

Moreover, even though there was only a window of glass, when the parade outside saw the cross that Sigurd deliberately placed on the table and took it from Matthew Lies, they would even leak friendly smiles.

(However, because this store is a type that has chains all over the world, is it possible to operate so stably in such a chaotic situation?)

Sigurd can see the national flags of many countries from the clerk's work clothes, and each clerk's is a little different. The general meaning is "it's no problem to talk to this clerk in the language of these countries".

And basically every clerk has a red national flag with five five-pointed stars on his chest, so even if there is a black-haired foreigner sitting here, no one will come in to find fault, let alone a person holding a Roman Orthodox cross. of foreigners.

While waiting for the pancakes, Sigurd took out his cell phone and dialed one of the numbers.

"Rilkin, how's the situation?"

[As you predicted, Mr. Sigurd, the "target" of the Roman Orthodox Church is the Holy See palace in Avignon. 】

In fact, there is no need to predict this point at all. After all, "France" and "Roman Orthodox Church" are mentioned at the same time. Among the incidents that can be connected, there are only a handful of incidents that can be related to the "c document" this time.

"Of course. After all, at the end of the thirteenth century, the Pope of the Roman Orthodox Church had a dispute with the King of France. It is not difficult to clarify this clue and find out the specific location."

[Yes, and the final victory in this war was France.The King of France seems to have been given the power to dictate to the Pope at the time... one of which was to leave the bases and come to France. 】

As the leader of the French "Gold" association, the man named Rilkin also thought of this, but the time he thought of was after the worldwide chaos began, and Sigurd gave instructions, asking them to The time of the ambush was a year ago.

"From 1309 to 1377, during the 60 years and nearly 70 years, seven Roman Orthodox popes lived here, and during this period they also obtained the duties of the Pope in this city. And this is the so-called' Avignon imprisoned'."

[However, some of the work of the Pope must be carried out in the Papal territory of Rome, the base.Examples include cardinal ordinations or other official meetings.The place of the papal domain, the buildings located there, the various spiritual items in it... Here in Avignon, the same conditions as these things cannot be reproduced. 】

While Rilkin was explaining the situation, Sigurd's pancakes were also delivered.

"This is the pancake you ordered, do you need anything else?"

"Please help me add two cups of black coffee, one of which is packed, and I will take it away later."

"Ok."

Sigurd, who spoke casually in Chinese with the clerk, did not attract the attention of other customers around him, not to say that they were not surprised, but that too many things happened during this period, and the existence of "foreigners" It's nothing.

【Mr. Sigurd seems to like the coffee here? 】

"It's better than expected, you can try it when you have time. Their strawberry pancakes are good, and the jam should be homemade."

[There are even more delicious pancakes in Paris. If you have the opportunity, Mr. Sigurd can come and taste them. Many people in "Symbol of Sunset" like to go to that shop. 】

"There will be a chance."

The two who shifted the conversation about Roman Orthodox action to afternoon tea without any sense of urgency did not continue.

Bringing the topic back to the Roman Orthodox Church and Avignon, Sigurd cut a piece of pancake and put it in his mouth, continuing the chat just now.

"In order to perform the duties of the 'pope', they need to re-create a papal territory. But because the 'magic side' at that time did not have the support of modern theories, and the use of 'idol worship' was also restricted by many factors, so They can't make the same equipment in Avignon as they did in the papal estate."

[So they built a magical pipeline connecting the "Pontiff's Territory (Vatican)" with Avignon, just like the equipment for controlling the Papal Territory from a long distance. 】

"It's like connecting a computer for login to a large server, and using the 'pipe' to remotely operate the equipment located in the 'Pope'."

At that time, such an approach can be said to be something that most people dare not even think about.

But the Roman Orthodox Church did it, and it was very successful.

From this we can see how powerful the Roman Orthodox Church was at that time. Whether it was the number of believers or the strength of the "sacred power" it possessed, the Roman Orthodox Church at that time was impeccable.

"And by the time the Pope returned from France to his base after the captivity at Avignon, such multiple channels should have been cut off..."

[Considering the pulsating pattern of the surrounding land, the facility that can use the "c document" in Avignon should refer to that, maybe the Roman Orthodox Church reconnected the severed pipeline? 】

In Ruilkin's tone, rather than worrying about the turmoil caused by the Roman Orthodox Church, he was more curious about the spell.

As a magician of the "gold" lineage, like Birdway's "Dawn Morning Light", it belongs to the magic association of the "golden" lineage that is extremely proficient in large-scale ceremonies. It is the guiding technique for "angel power".

And this time the "pipeline" in Avignon, France, if they can explain it, then they can connect to the "temple" anywhere in the world.

Moreover, they can also use this to summon the "angel power" through the "temple" far inside France for use by members scattered around the world.

[Although we know that it is the application method of "earth veins", we have been observing for several days, and the results have not explained the method of the Roman Orthodox Church until now. 】

This is normal, after all, various sects, and even different branches of the same sect have different definitions of the value of "earth veins".

The so-called "geography" refers to the flow of power in the land.

There are many types and directions of flowing power, and it is not uncommon for a power that is important to one sect to be meaningless to another.

Therefore, it is normal that there are obvious differences in opinions according to different civilizations.

"Don't use your inertial thinking."

[Inertial thinking?Mr. Sigurd, are you saying that we are seeking in the wrong way?Also, that is to say you have seen the Roman Orthodox "law of ground application"? 】

Rilkin was in his late thirties, but at this time, he looked like he was expecting Santa Claus's children at Christmas, and the excitement and excitement in his voice did not hide the slightest bit.

"Don't look at it with Western eyes, how about trying it in a different direction? After all, the name of 'earth veins' itself is very limited, isn't it?"

[Don't use Western eyes... Eastern terms? "Dragon Vein"...so it is!It's Feng Shui! ? 】

Rielkin's reaction was quick, and being able to be the leader of a school naturally has its own merits.

"Things like leylines are easy to shake. The 'passage' connecting the Roman Orthodox Church and Avignon is the product of human distortion. As long as the ridges are cut off, lakes are filled, or waterways are newly dug, the leylines can be distorted.. ...."

After taking a sip of the coffee at hand, Sigurd could feel that Rilkin was gasping for breath even though he was using a spell to communicate.

"To be fair, things like burying rivers, cutting down mountains, or building reservoirs are not uncommon these days, aren't they?"

[And magicians and sects who are good at using land must be careful not to let such an important place be developed or destroyed!Especially the "pipelines" built by people hundreds of years ago must pay attention to retaining the original "landscape", otherwise it is very likely that they will not be able to recover without leaving enough documents! ! ! ! 】

"As long as you investigate the land-changing projects in French history, at your level, you can deduce the information about that 'pipeline' within half a month at most."

Changing the terrain will lead to changes in feng shui, and even the "ground veins" will also change more or less.

However, since it can be affected, conversely, it can also be used to change the terrain using magic calculations.

Strictly speaking, it is like deciding "what kind of context to choose" from a geographically independent majority context. If the imbalance is not handled properly, it will become a very troublesome tragedy.

So basically such projects are super-huge plans based on the country.

And the first to clarify this point is someone who has completed the confrontation with "human power". In most stories, "human beings" can only evade, escape or pray for a miracle.

Chapter 560: The Museum and the "Pipeline" Connecting the Palace of the Holy See

Sigurd drank his coffee and stood at the gate of the small museum in Avignon as if no one else was there, looking around this dead place.

This is not an independent large building that can be called a "museum".Like other housing complexes and shops, this place uses the corners of tall buildings on the left and right sides of the road.

Probably because the old city streets of Avignon surrounded by city walls do not have much space, or the "museum" was intentionally built in the original building in order to retain the "authentic" style.

(Probably because I simply want to create a unified landscape here, so I imitated the surrounding buildings to build this "museum" with a modern style...)

Getting a little closer, Sigurd can easily see that the materials and style of the overall building are not products of that era, and he doesn't even need to touch it to feel that it is completely different from the surrounding ancient walls. "Sense of violation".

This sense of disobedience from the "essence" cannot be eliminated through simple appearance imitation.

The gates of this museum are made of wooden doors and iron gates with metal grids. As far as anti-theft is concerned, it is basically impossible to hope that this thing can match the level of modern anti-theft doors.

Tasting just the right amount of bitter coffee, even with a bit of lingering sweetness on the back of his tongue, Sigurd noticed that there was a signboard in French hanging on the front entrance.

On the board hanging on the doorknob, the words "Closed" were written in French and English. It seemed that they did not want to be affected by the people who marched, so they chose to close the museum.

"It's a lot faster than I thought, I still need some time to gather the members..."

Sigurd didn't look back. A group of magicians in black suits gathered here from all directions at some unknown time, but they didn't cause unnecessary confusion at all.

The leader is a middle-aged man with blond hair, wearing a slightly faded black suit that looks like a street stall, and on a plain or even cheap solid-color tie, with a tone that is consistent with the overall tone A far cry from the ornate silver cross.

Judging from the appearance, the first impression probably will not have other impressions other than "ordinary working-class office workers".

"Mr. Sigurd, all the preparations have been arranged according to your requirements."

"Rilkin, the 'pipe' is here, but we're blocked by a damn gate?"

"understood."

The moment the words came to an end, a golden baton slipped from the cuff of a magician named Rilkin into his palm.

Rilkin skillfully waved the baton inlaid with rubies at the end, and the magicians of the "Symbol of Sunset" behind it changed their positions tacitly according to Rilkin's movements without instructions.

And accompanied by a "boom", the invisible impact shattered the seemingly thin metal door that weighed several tons, and the fragile wooden door inside was overwhelmed and turned into pieces, like a shotgun Was blasted into the hall of the "museum".

The harsh alarm was completely ignored, and a group of magicians from the "Symbol of Sunset" followed Sigurd closely.

A group of people stepped on the fragments of the metal door and passed the Roman Orthodox believers hidden behind the door. The fragments of the wooden door were nailed to death behind in the meaning of "peach wood penetration". The structure is close to the corpse on the wall of the "shadow wall". Straight thinking of the "atrium" walked.

"Rilkin, what do you think?"

Compared to Sigurd, who was drinking coffee in a leisurely manner, the magicians of the "Symbol of Sunset" such as Rilkin stared wide-eyed, and the batons in their hands were ready to follow the sound of the enemy's attack at any time. Time to unleash a deadly blast.

Faced with Sigurd's sudden question, the leader of the association was also taken aback. He thought that he missed something because of his high concentration.

But when he looked at the subordinates around him, facing those stunned eyes, Rilkin probably understood that he hadn't missed anything.

"Monsieur Sigurd, do you mean the Roman Orthodox, or Avignon or . . . France itself?"

"This building."
