People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

"This guy's 'semi-immortality' is news that cannot be made public. The reason why I took the initiative to undertake this task is because of the apparent reason 'I haven't read it, I want to read the original version of the Four Books of Astrology'. Next time..."

Without any scruples about Sylvia's status as a British saint, Sigurd casually talked about concealing the Puritan sect.

And Sylvia just listened quietly, and there was no question of "Is it okay to say this to me, an English magician?"

"Although the practice of transcribing the 'Original Code' onto human skin was proposed a long time ago on the magic side, it has not been successfully utilized because of the defense mechanism of the 'Original Code' itself."

"Because the action of 'transcribing' will also be judged as 'impeding the dissemination of internal knowledge' by the 'Original Code'?"

Sigurd nodded, flipped the fragrant cookies with his fingers, and then chose a round one and threw it into his mouth.

"Drop it together... In the past, at most it was to deceive the defense function of the 'Original Code' in the form of 'protecting the book with a cover that is hard enough to be used as a breastplate'. In this way, although it is far from being achieved The expected output effect, but it can indeed achieve a part of the power of the "Original Code" on the equipment."

"But if it is known that someone has successfully 'transcribed' the original code, then there will be a wave of 'original armor' in the magic side, and more people will try to seize the 'original code' around the world for this purpose 'yes?"

Silvia seemed to understand Sigurd's intentions, and was not too surprised by the mercenary's actions.

After all, Sylvia had known this mercenary for seven years, and things of this level were far less impactful than playing heavy metal music inside and outside the Roman Orthodox St. Peter's Basilica.

Looking at the "original" knowledge that has been completely "transcribed" from the human skin onto the papyrus, Sylvia does not have the "talent" to directly observe it.

Sylvia asked casually without stopping her gaze too much.

"But you really have a big heart, don't you worry about me going to inform you?"

"If you could, I wouldn't have kept you with the maid for so long. Am I the kind of idiot who would risk my life playing 'Russian roulette' for a meal?"

"So you're not?"

"..."

Chapter 150: A Rare Peaceful Daily Life

In the late autumn of November, although the temperature has dropped steadily to below [-] degrees, due to the special nature of Academy City, the school and students are fully motivated to prepare and operate for the "Yitanlan Festival".

As for the so-called "Yitanlan Festival", it is actually a large-scale cultural festival that all schools in Academy City have to participate in, and it is held uniformly by Academy City every November.

As an annual super-large-scale cultural festival officially held by Academy City, "Ichibanran Festival" is a different event from the larger-scale sports festival "Daha Star Festival".

Compared with the "Daha Star Festival", a sports festival aimed at tourists and parents of students from all over the world, the cultural festival or "Yidanlan Festival", which is a super-large school festival, is mainly aimed at students in the city, not tourists from all over the world. .

Previously, as early as more than a month ago, schools began to spend a lot of time preparing for the work and activities of the "Yidanlan Festival".

The purpose is to achieve better results in the two activities of "Experience Enrollment" and "Campus Open Day", which are closely related to the filling rate of each school.

In order to make myself able to compete with five colleges in the "Top Five Schools" including "Tokiwadai Middle School", "Changdian Shangji Academy", and "Misty Hill Girls' Academy" in Yuancheng.

The rankings of the so-called "Five Famous Schools" are actually determined by Academy City to a large extent. After all, the development resources of students, the replacement of equipment, the investment of medicines and the deployment of personnel all play a decisive role. It is absolutely impossible to compete with a cultural festival.

And when it comes to the "five famous schools", in fact, they are all backed by Academy City.

Although Tokiwadai even caused a diplomatic accident because of its strict teaching and management system because it refused the admission of a member of the royal family, this point was immediately settled by Academy City.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is the special treatment that Academy City is giving to this "Miss Elite Academy", but in fact the main reason is that a member of the governing council belongs to Tokiwadai.

In the same way, there are two famous schools, "Misty Hill Women's Academy" and "Nagadot Computer Academy".

Although they are not directly managed by the members of the general council, Academy City is behind all of them providing funds and personnel.

And it's worth mentioning that because the two colleges and their affiliated research institutions are basically completely controlled by the high-level officials of Academy City, some students with special identities will also be named in these two schools.

For example, the long point is Accelerator of the School of Computer Science.

By the way, since Sigurd's ID stated that he was 17 years old, this monster mercenary was also a student of the Computer Science Academy.

"Speaking of which, the 'Yitanlan Festival' will start tomorrow, right?"

"Well, I remember that I received an invitation letter from a certain academy a few days ago, and it seems that I can participate in an event in the name of 'investigation'."

Sigurd pushed a shopping cart and followed Sylvia, because a clothes hanger and a table were scrapped when the English Puritan transcribed the "Original Code", so at this time, this mercenary who could destroy a country by himself was being forced to Drag it to act as a "porter".

Putting his hands on the armrest of the shopping cart, Sigurd yawned and picked up a potato at hand and said.

"You don't need to guess. I know it. It's the 'Haunting Home Economics Women's Academy', right? Academy City's largest and most famous maid academy. I heard that many of the maids who graduated from it went to England to study and stayed there?"

"There are still many aristocrats in Britain, and a large part of them are ordinary families who don't know about the 'magic side', so this is not surprising. By the way, the senior who took me to practice as a maid at first She is a student of Academy City, but at that time there was no ability user development project in Academy City, so she was just an ordinary person."

After taking the potatoes from the mercenary, Sylvia looked around and threw them into the plastic bag in her hands. It seems that the maid is planning to cook potatoes tonight.

As for the mercenary who was not picky about food except for coffee, he didn't care at all about the ingredients Silvia chose, and looked left and right.

This supermarket was originally prepared for security guards, researchers, and teachers who got off work late, but now there are many students wearing school uniforms to purchase ingredients for tomorrow's "Yitanlan Festival" booth.

"Tokiwadai's school uniform..."

"Is it the Missy Academy in the seventh school district? I didn't expect to travel so far to pick the ingredients?"

The eyes of the two turned to the black-haired girl who was picking ingredients in the distance. She was wearing a white shirt and a beige suit jacket with a school badge embroidered on the left chest.

The bottom is a dark blue fine checkered pleated skirt.Its background color is a grid of dark and light blue interlaced, with orange grid lines on it. It is said that this pattern was also carefully designed by a famous designer.

Even an idiot like Sigurd who chooses clothes can tell that the material of this school uniform is even far away from some brand stores on the supermarket that advertise themselves as "luxury goods".

At this time, the girl from Tokiwadai who was choosing ingredients was surrounded by many young ladies from the same school, and judging from the expressions they exchanged with each other, she seemed to be quite a popular person.

Wearing long black hair, wearing a petal-shaped headband and a flower-shaped headdress, she looked shy and quiet, but she was indeed a standard young lady.

And realizing that Sigurd, who basically doesn't observe other people except the enemy, looked at the girl thoughtfully, Silvia knocked the mercenary on the head with the eggplant in her hand.

"What's the matter? Do you like the type of shy, straight black elder lady?"

"No, I'm looking at the bag behind her and the ingredients she's picking out."

Silvia looked along the direction Sigurd was looking at, and she could indeed vaguely see a black and white animal-shaped bag behind the girl.

"Is that a panda? I remember that it is a national treasure of China, and the UK seems to have it too. I remember the Queen said that she wanted to 'break out of prison' to see it. At that time, the head of the Knights complained, 'Please don't describe Buckingham Palace as a prison'." on."

"The oath on the head is also a peony. As for the ingredients, it is not something that would be used in Japanese or Western food."

"Isn't that strange? After all, there are many foreign exchange students in Academy City. I remember that there is a church in the No.12 school district?"

Sigurd nodded, and didn't look at the girls at Tokiwadai again. After all, there are many foreign students in Academy City, so it's not surprising at all.

"No.12 school district is a school district with a concentration of schools of theology and streets with exotic styles. Of course, those churches have no magical meaning. It's better to say that there is no magic at all. I admire that designer. Avoid this problem."

"It's normal. After all, those buildings were designed by well-known designers hired at the time. It's normal to have one or two magicians involved. Speaking of which, we have to go to the place where we buy furniture after we buy the ingredients. You can't Hang that thing on the ceiling or something?"

"No, it's scary to hang that thing. And I think it's just a psychological effect on you. Why can you hang a mink coat but not that thing? This is discrimination!"

Sylvia didn't make any rebuttal to Sigurd's protest, but shook the eggplant in her hand and muttered nothing.

"If you dare to wear that thing and go to the research institute for a day, I will admit your point of view?"

"Really?"

"Of course. But I'm not sure if you'll be able to come back later."

"Threat, this is a naked threat!"

"That's right, otherwise, why do you think the perfect maid who is 'obedient and cute, gentle and virtuous, cooks deliciously' only appears in Japanese novels and manga?"

"That is to say, you admit that you are neither cute, gentle, virtuous, nor good at cooking, right?"

The explosion of "pong" echoed in the crowded supermarket.

But no one paid special attention or called the police in panic.

In this academy city where the streets are full of supernatural powers, small movements of this level can at most make people feel "quite loud".

Of course, a certain mercenary with a big bag would definitely not think so.

Chapter 150: "Yiduanlan Sacrifice" and the Xuanluan Housekeeping Women's Academy

[Today's average temperature is nineteen degrees, and it is a sunny day.The performance presented by "Suzuran Girls' High School" on the main road in the seventh school district is going on, I hope everyone can have a good time in the "Yitanlan Festival"】

The huge motorboat floating above Academy City reported the weather and various events of Academy City factually.

And today is the day when the "Yidanlan Festival" begins, so the streets today are extraordinarily lively.

At this time, the street has been blocked, and on the main road of the seventh school district, a group performance of more than a hundred people is going on.

Wearing costumes with the colors of the Japanese clan, they hold the "Naruko" used in Yarai Odori in their hands, and march along the center of the street while singing and dancing.

At this time, Sylvia and Sigurd, who were heading towards the "Dazzling Housekeeping Women's Academy" among the crowd, stopped temporarily to watch this lively performance.

"Is this Academy City's 'One End Lan Festival'? It seems that everyone is having a good time?"

"This actually originated from Kochi Prefecture's 'Night Come Festival (よさこい祭り)', but later many festivals also used this form of performance, so Academy City also has reservations."

Obviously not a "local person", but unexpectedly Sigurd, who was working as a "tour guide", seemed to have thought of something.

Although Sigurd is still wearing a windbreaker today, it is not the usual one.

Judging from Sigurd's outfit today, this guy's clothes today must have been prepared by Sylvia. If this guy is not allowed to stay in the same suit, as long as he is there, he will always be a combination of researcher white clothes.

And today's Sylvia is quite formal, she changed all the goggles and work apron, even the maid outfit she usually wears.

And this set seems to be the one when Sigurd met Sylvia for the first time, when she appeared next to the second princess. It seems to be the formal attire of a royal maid, right?

"Speaking of which, although you have stayed in Academy City for a while, you returned to England for last year's 'Ichidanran Festival', right?"

"That's right, the year before last I was running around the world with you idiot. But this festival is really grand. Although there is Christmas every year in the UK, except for some special days, it is rare to see it. What about large-scale performances?"

"It's just a cultural difference. Most countries in the east like to be lively and habitually make the scene big, while Western countries pay more attention to the sense of ceremony. Many big scenes can only be said to be grand and lively. The two words are basically incompatible. Especially In the UK like you, gentlemanly demeanor basically kills this kind of performance where everyone dances together. And with the bad weather in London, are you serious?"

Sylvia wasn't dissatisfied with Sigurd's complaints about her country, after all, what Sigurd said was true.

Both of them have lived in the UK for a long time, so they have a deep understanding of this aspect.

This kind of performance along the street will be relayed all the way from the main road of the seventh school district, and will continue to the next school district, and the performance team of the next school district will continue to relay.

It doesn’t mean that your school is in the seventh school district, so you will definitely be arranged to perform in the seventh school district. For example, Weeping Sakura Girls’ School is a noble girls’ school in the seventh school district, but their performance is arranged in the first school district. .

Except for the special No.11, No.17, No.19, No.20, No.20, No.[-], No.[-], and No.[-] third-class school districts in the entire Academy City, they will not be included in the scope of performances. Others include mostly administrative institutions The first school district of the school has also been included in the performance route.

After the performance team continued to move forward, the flow of people on the roads on both sides also began to move.

Because there were many passers-by following the performance just now, everyone also chose to stop and watch instead of marching against the flow of people.

After all, the school is on holiday today, and in order to allow students to fully devote themselves to the "Yi Duan Lan Festival" activities, the college will not leave any homework.

Since there is no time limit, everyone will naturally not rush to run all over the street, and slowly enjoy the festive atmosphere of Academy City.

Moving on, the two followed the crowd to the famous Maid Academy in Academy City.
