Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Inside the office of Lambeth Palace, the base of the British Puritans.

As the former royal library, Lambeth Palace still occupies a very spacious area even after several renovations to keep up with the times.

In the backyard of the mansion corridor alone, there is a wider lawn than an ordinary sports field, and carefully tended flowers are scattered.

Because of the time difference, although it is still evening in the Academy City, the sun, which is larger than usual, has crossed the horizon and hung in the sky.

The morning breeze blows across the corridor, and there are pretty petals flying in the air, as beautiful as in a painting.

But the nun who can appreciate this scene is not in this mood at all. She looks at the window that keeps emitting black smoke with worry and slowly approaches.

The room in the center of the mansion is like a bomb dropped, with dust and debris everywhere, and it looks messy.

"Supreme Bishop, are you okay? Do you need me to call the guards...?"

The nun bent down and asked carefully.

The alarm of the barrier was turned off. Considering past practice, she did not immediately ask for the support of the guards.

In her opinion, even the members of the Knights, who have always been at odds with the Puritan forces, would not be so absurd as to launch an attack on the Puritan base in the daytime.

The object of the nun's questioning was a very young girl who looked like a high school student.

The girl had a charming and exquisite appearance.

Her long golden hair did not conform to any suitable hairstyle in modern times. It was simply folded and fixed with a silver hairpin, but even so, its length was enough to safely hang from the back of the head to the waist.

Under the sunlight outside the window, her hair seemed to be coated with a layer of gold sand, shining like a gem.

She was wearing a close-fitting monastic dress that did not meet the regulations of the clergy. It was more like a dress, covering the girl's fair and flawless skin.

But it also set off her seductive figure and her slender hands and feet like works of art.

The blue eyes were moist and bright, reflecting the clearness and emptiness of the sky.

Compared with the solemn title of the Supreme Bishop, the girl's dress was more like a noble lady who went to a church school for further studies.

"No need, it was just a little accident."

The girl responded to the nun's question with a perfect image and a pure and natural smile.

"Because it was too surprising, I was defeated in the opposite way. Ah... Once I encounter something I am interested in, I will get carried away. This is also my shortcoming."

The blonde girl complained about herself in a distressed tone as if she was complaining to a friend, and she looked very lovable.

But in the eyes of the nun, such a beautiful scene revealed an unspeakable evil.

——Lola Stuart.

The Supreme Bishop of the British Puritan Church, and also the leader of the Church of Necessary Evil.

Although her nominal position is just to manage the Puritan Church on behalf of the Pope, the influence of the Roman Orthodox Church is no longer as strong as before when the three branches of the Cross Church are divided.

The nominal and actual positions have been reversed, and now the real power of the British Puritan Church has long been firmly in Laura's hands.

But this is understandable. The origin of this supreme bishop is a secret even within the Puritan Church.

Since she appeared in official documents in the last century and officially took up this position, she has been in charge of the Puritan Church for nearly a hundred years.

It is precisely because of Laura's achievements that the Puritan Church, which has a shallow foundation, has gained a reputation in the magic side that even overshadows the Roman Orthodox Church.

However, because he always appears at every turning point in history and seems to have never aged, the reputation of this supreme bishop is a bit strange.

Even within the Puritan Church, the nun has heard someone call him an old fox without hesitation.

Therefore, even as a subordinate serving the other party, and having witnessed the childish side of this supreme bishop many times, the nun still has some fear in her heart.

"However, this kind of power is really troublesome. It's too cheating. It can break through the barrier from such a distance..."

Lola complained and shook her head, showing a very unhappy expression.

Then, she reached out and took off the silver hairpin behind her, letting her long hair like tassels flow down, adding a beautiful scenery to the surroundings.

Judging from the length, it must be at least three or four meters to achieve such an exaggerated visual effect.

"Your Excellency the Supreme Bishop, let me help you."

As a female nun, she knew very well that it would take a lot of effort to simply organize hair of this length, let alone daily care, so she subconsciously went up to meet him.

However, her kindness was not responded to.

Almost the moment she took a step, Lola raised her head.

"I advise you not to do this."

The girl's voice was soft and gentle.

The tone was also childish and innocent, like a kind reminder when she saw an adult doing something stupid.

But in front of the frivolous and charming smile on her face, this scene was just like a spider web woven by the devil to seduce the fools who fall into the trap.

"Didn't I say that this power is troublesome? I am indeed looking forward to the scene of it spreading, but if it starts now, it will be difficult to end."

"......?!"

As if she realized something, the nun's face turned pale, and she stopped forcibly under the drive of survival.

The next moment, Laura gently stroked her hair.

Then, the girl's foothold was covered with dense black shadows.

It was a black swamp that seemed to be burning.

They kept pouring out from the gaps in Laura's long golden hair, and clung to it as if they had life, quickly staining the jade feet wrapped in white stockings.

"Oh... I can't move."

Lola, who was deeply trapped in it, tilted her head.

One by one, black tentacles rushed out of the black mud as if they had consciousness, and tied her hands and feet tightly.

The clothes touched by the swamp turned into sparks like mist in an instant.

"Supreme Bishop..."

The nun opened her mouth and wanted to call for help.

But in front of the strange black mud, she only felt that her body and mind were burning, and she couldn't make any sound.

The nun's knees softened, and she knelt on the ground in embarrassment, but such contact accompanied by pain could not regain her control over her body, and she could only watch Laura being dragged into the depths of darkness quietly.

However, at the moment when the blonde girl was completely devoured, the nun couldn't help but make a confused sound.

Because Laura, who had just been dragged down, stood in front of her intact again.

She stepped on the carpet made of scattered hair, with her hands behind her back, and jumped to the side as if she was frightened.

But on the girl's face, rather than panic or surprise, there was an expression that was more like what she expected.

"Just a trace of soul connection can cause such a scale, isn't it too monstrous?"

Laura raised her hand to comb the ends of her hair, letting the blonde hair behind her cover up and cover her smooth body.

Looking at the black mud in front of her, which had been destroyed in essence and was still greedily corroding the surrounding ground and magic in the collapse, her words revealed an unconcealable joy.

"Huhu, I've made a profit. There is such an existence hidden in the scientific side. Is this the 'dragon'? In this case, could Aleister really be the director..."

She whispered softly in a voice that others could not detect, with a fiery emotion in her clear pupils.

After thinking for a long time, she turned her head and smiled at the still trembling nun.

"Sorry, sorry, I scared you. Alas, because the previous loss was a bit big, I was a little unprepared and didn't have time to deal with these troubles."

"Lose?"

The nun looked up in confusion, as if she had thought of something, and immediately lowered her head.

"Well, the Index of Forbidden Books will probably be temporarily placed in Academy City,"

Laura had no scruples about this. She seemed to have no sense of confidentiality at all and said carelessly.

"After all, although we are suspicious allies with Academy City, we are still allies for the time being. There is no reason to act without authorization."

As if she had forgotten that she was the mastermind who made Index go berserk in Academy City, Laura spread her hands innocently.

"Besides, Kanzaki will probably have to stay there too. Depending on the situation, he may have to hand over the members of the Amakusa-style. But anyway, they were part of the buy-one-get-one-free deal, so it's not a pity."

"Is it okay? The Forbidden Book Index is fine, and we only need to deal with the royal family's questions, but Miss Kanzaki..."

The nun was very puzzled.

As a direct subordinate of Laura, although she is not as powerful as the magicians of the Church of Absolute Evil, she is indeed involved in the daily operations of the Puritan Church, so she can understand the importance.

For the nuns who don't know that the collar spell has been cracked, the Forbidden Book Index is of course very important, but it is also relative.

Originally, its ownership did not belong entirely to the Puritan Church, and the British royal family also intervened.

With the spell set, she is an unstable time bomb.

Any attempt to control her will only accelerate the loss of control of the Forbidden Book Index, so although it is a pity, the priority of taking it back is not very high.

But Kamisaki Kaori, a saint, is different. She has been the main fighter of the church in recent years and the nuclear bomb of the magic side.

The science side can use this to exchange resources and treaties, but it cannot take away the ownership of Kamisaki Kaori, because this will only cause a strong backlash from the British Puritan Church whose bottom line has been touched.

They should be very clear about this.

But both Laura and the science side seem to have tacitly agreed to this condition,

which is simply incomprehensible.

"Indeed, it is really hard to hand over a child like Kamisaki who is very convenient to use, but there is no way. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."

Laura played with the golden bangs on her forehead, her tone calm.

"With the current strength of the Puritan Church, if they rush into war, they will only lose miserably. After all, it's okay if there is only Academy City. If they add their secret weapons, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Secret weapons..."

Hearing such words, the nun's pupils shrank slightly.

The fear and despair brought by the scene just now were still engraved in her heart, but even so, she was still a little indignant about Laura's words.

Although Puritanism is a religious force, it has already become quite secularized in the process of development.

Although the queen cannot force Puritanism to do anything now, the relationship between Puritanism and Britain has long been such that no matter who gets into trouble, the other party will be forcibly tied to the chariot.

Coupled with the chain reaction of other magic parties and forces, this is almost a war that will make the whole world unstable.

Although Academy City is the leader on the science side, in the face of a conflict of this scale, it is not impossible for it to survive alone, or even fall directly.

"I can understand the concerns of the supreme bishop, but this is with Puritanism as the enemy. Are you overestimating that secret weapon?"

"This is the only answer I can tell you for sure. I did not overestimate that man at all."

The girl wrinkled her nose, seeming a little dissatisfied that she had to explain a sentence twice.

"Rather, this level is just his lower limit, because compared to me who is not good at force and prefers to dominate, he who is destined to bear destruction will only be better."

A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Laura's delicate face like a doll.

"Eh?"

The nun was completely stunned, not only by Laura's words, but also by the smile the girl showed just now.

He obviously has an angelic appearance, and he obviously has a high status among the priests.

But that smile just now was like an ominous demon.

But Laura had no intention of continuing to explain, she waved her hand.

"It's almost time for the royal family's order for me to go to court. Go prepare new clothes. After losing so many chips, I'm probably going to make things difficult for you again by those annoying guys."

Laura sighed, showing a headache expression,

"Yes, His Excellency the Supreme Bishop."

The nun who was still confused before suddenly became confused and staggered out. It was as if that mysterious smile had never appeared before.

It wasn't until the nun's figure was completely gone that Laura, who looked calm and calm, patted her chest.

"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, because I was flirted with for a long time, and I can't control myself. Our compatibility is too good, right?"

She brushed her silky hair again, walked leisurely to the remaining black mud, pursed her small and delicate lips, and lowered her head.

Then, the girl stretched out her slender white fingers.

"Gu...huh?!"

Laura stuck out her tongue and licked the residue left on the corner of her mouth, her pupils trembling slightly.

Black mud has a slime-like texture and a strange and strong taste.

Even for her, the first feeling was definitely not pleasure, but a kind of wonder that made her brain tremble.

But that didn't mean she hated the feeling.

"Am I the next one? That's right. After all, even though we are half-father and half-mother, even the devil of the abyss cannot cut off our previous relationship. So, I will help you light another fire."

Laura’s eyes seemed to be covered with mist.

With a bright smile, she made a speech that made people's hair stand on end.

"...my dear 'brother'."
