People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"I shouldn't have asked you."

"Then you still ask?"

pong! ! ! !

Chapter 95: "Original Code" Carrier and Oriental Girl?

The scene is still the "fog city" that is very familiar to mercenaries.

And just like the reason why this magical city is called "Fog City", the streets in the middle of the night are already invisible.

A thick and damp mist filled the ancient neighborhood. Although the street lights on the left and right were on, they didn't have much effect.

Located in the heart of London's East End, this is the epitome of early Georgian elegance.

Of course, compared with such modern things, this ancient block has left a deep impression on the world, but it is other parts that should be called "dark".

For example, not far from the block where the mercenaries walked, it was near the "Whitechapel" where a certain Ripper committed crimes.

The mission the mercenaries received this time was to protect a copy of the "Original Code" and arrive safely at Drum Castle in Scotland.

The hall of this medieval castle is a library with thousands of volumes.

At the same time, there is a Jacobin-style mansion built in 1619 nearby, located in the beautiful woods.

Although this place is open to outsiders on weekdays, its interior has become a "magic book workshop" of the Puritan sect. Many of the "original books" that exist in the UK are restored and translated here.

The "Original Code" kept in the hands of the mercenaries and sealed with ancient sheepskin is the "Moonchild" written by the legendary magician, Edward Alexander Crowley.

This is a dangerous "original book" that uses the angel trapping method to establish the chain spells of elves' summoning, capture, and use.Although there is no destructive destruction technique, once it is maliciously used by someone, the subsequent processing procedure is quite troublesome.

Holding the thick "Original Code" in his hand, Sigurd even held a paper cup of instant coffee in one hand.

Not taking this "Original Code" seriously, which could make countless magic associations fight desperately, Sigurd has no awareness of being an "escort" at all, and just walked on the street swaggeringly like this.

"No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right. Those guys from the Puritan sect have nothing to do with their free time. Why do they suddenly want to go to Durham Castle for the same thing that they studied in the last century to deal with that guy from Aleister? ?”

Although Sigurd felt that something was wrong, the money given by the other party was at the standard level of the original escort standard.

If the approximate number is enough, it can allow a family of three to live in a metropolis like London for two or three years without worrying about food and clothing, right?

clang clang ~

"Ok?"

His ears moved, and Sigurd accurately heard the unnatural ringing of the long and deep bell of Big Ben in late-night London.

The speed is very fast, and it pays great attention to concealment. The means of hiding is not like a magician under the Western system.

That is a pure "technique", not a "surgery".

It feels like...

(What's the matter, ninjas appearing in London late at night who want to seize the "original scriptures" under the modern Western system?)

Sigurd didn't respond, because he had already locked the opponent's position.

(Height is over 170 cm. The habit of refining magic power is mixed with the shadows of the East and the West, but the most essential part should still be the refining habit of the Eastern system.)

It was a lot closer to the identity of "ninja", which made Sigurd feel weird.

Sigurd continued to drink coffee leisurely, while the other party kept watching Sigurd from behind without any haste.

Neither side made any moves, but the difference was that Sigurd had completely locked the opponent's position.

The thick fog in the middle of the night once caused the notorious "Jack the Ripper" to run rampant here, and even gave several wizards of the "Golden Dawn" a headache.

In the end, the "Masquerade Lady" came out to lure the other party to show up.

Of course, the drunken yelling part is real.

Leaving aside the events of the long past, the situation at this time is a bit subtle.

(No killing intent, no malice...)

In Sigurd's opinion, the guy following behind him can be said to be a "good guy".

There is neither malice nor killing intent, it is simply too abnormal.

"..."

"..."

Finally, after Sigurd left the residential area and entered the old block of wooden houses that had long been abandoned and used as a tourist attraction, the awkward stalemate situation took a new turn.

The stalker who had been following Sigurd passed over Sigurd secretly, "quietly" for ordinary people, but appeared at the end of the street "swaggeringly" for Sigurd.

"So, can you please give me what you have in your hand?"

"You mean 'give'? That's not the right word, is it?"

The thick fog cleared, and Sigurd finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.

But it was precisely because of seeing the other party's appearance clearly that Sigurd also fully understood what the "unclear" commission from the Puritans meant.

Height above 170 five centimeters.Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down to her waist.She has a good figure and fair skin like a princess, but she doesn't give people a soft and weak feeling at all.

Hanging around his waist is a Japanese sword that is more than two meters long and is used by Shinto in rain prayer ceremonies.He was wearing old jeans and a white short-sleeved T-shirt.

The left leg of the jeans has no trouser leg at all, and the bottom of the thigh is exposed. The T-shirt is to tie the excess cloth at the hem around the waist, exposing the navel.

Wearing knee-high boots and a Japanese sword in a leather belt, he looks like a swordsman at the end of the Bakumatsu period.

"I feel like I'm being played."

"how you said that?"

"No, I'm sorry. It doesn't really have much to do with you, or is it more appropriate to say that you have also been tricked?"

"?"

The black-haired girl also revealed a puzzled expression, but she didn't let the path behind her go.

At first glance, it was just a thin girl blocking a wide street.

But Sigurd could see the posture and position of the other party, the color of the floor tiles on the ground, and the corresponding orientation and "era" of the surrounding street buildings.

If you take all these into consideration, you will find that the girl is standing in a position that can counter attacks from any direction and ensure that the enemy cannot easily bypass her.

And what seems to be just a simple hanging "Ling Dao" behind her, the position where the knife sheath is connected to the belt and the orientation of the handle are all things of magical significance.

"It's troublesome to explain specific things. But you will definitely not listen to me honestly, so..."

"!?"

The girl only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and then she felt a sense of loss of strength.

Under the girl's unbelievable eyes, in the end, he only saw Sigurd who kept slashing with a knife in his hand, and he couldn't even understand that the other party was approaching him from that direction.

Before she completely lost consciousness, the girl heard the faint sentence:

I can only choose a slightly rough method.

Chapter 96: I think you want her to die

"So... the original code..."

"You too...after all...yes..."

"...outrageous...dead..."

The intermittent conversation seemed to be in English. Although Kanzaki Kaori's English is not bad, she still couldn't combine all the words smoothly at this time.

I don't know how long it has passed, Kanzaki Kaori felt dizzy in his head.

She barely opened her eyes, and what she saw was St. George's Cathedral where she met the priest of the Necessarius Church who received her when she accepted the assessment requirements of the Necessarius Church.

Due to personal reasons, Kanzaki Kaori chose to leave the Amakusa-style Cross Church in Japan, and chose to join the Puritan sect in England.

And the Puritans are naturally very happy to accept a saint who has no "record" and obvious "weakness" to join.

But according to the usual procedure, even Kanzaki Kaori, who is a "sage", is required to undergo an assessment to join the Church of Necessary Evil.

[Someone secretly used the "permission" to steal the "Original Code" of "Moonchild" stored underground in the British Museum, and is moving to Scotland.Your assessment task is to get back the original code as quickly as possible without damaging the "original code". 】

And the pure Kanzaki Kaori didn't think too much about it, and quite straightforwardly accepted this strange-sounding commission.

And just after she took the "information" provided by the Puritans and finally found the "prisoner" near the center of London's East End...

Original! ! !

"!!!"

Sitting up abruptly, Kanzaki Kaori looked around nervously.

Although you couldn't see the outside, you could tell from the dim stained glass that it was still night.

Continue to look around, there are two people who are having a conversation not far away.

And after fully waking up, Kanzaki Kaori was able to understand the specific content of the other party's conversation.

"So, you asked me to escort the 'Original Code' so that I could give her an assessment from a completely practical perspective?"

"You also know that this child is a 'saint', and the general assessment is not a problem for her. After all, the original design of the assessment itself is too simple for her with a superhuman physique."

"Your reason is outrageous. The actual combat assessment? I think you intend to let her die. I just want to be more serious. Losing limbs or 'saint' physique is a trivial matter. Whether you can survive depends on whether she reacts enough. quick."

"Look, didn't you play for a while before dealing with that witch and the time in the Pacific Ocean?"

"Why didn't you talk about the two times when Spain and France were completely wiped out? And do you know how troublesome it is to get her back? The air of that suit is too high."

Get angry, get it back...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The sharp female cry successfully surprised the two high-level magicians.

Turning around, Laura touched Sigurd with her arm with a smirk on her face.

"So, isn't it good to take advantage of the opportunity? Or is it that Master Sigurd, who has the title of 'the strongest gold', is actually still a virgin~"

"!!!"

Hugging himself tightly, Kanzaki Kaori, who woke up from the bench next to the duck, looked at Sigurd vigilantly.
