People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

An unpleasant cry came from the bushes beside the group of "commandos".

"Cat? Come here, meow~"

"If you don't want to be killed, then my suggestion is to stay away from that thing."

The girl with the one-handed sword hanging on the pink belt around her waist originally wanted to tease the cat, but after hearing Sigurd's words, the half-stretched arm immediately retracted.

The other people on the side looked puzzled at the little creature that looked like an ordinary wild cat, and didn't really understand what was wrong with this fairly common stray black cat.

"You don't want to know how that idiot Dion Fortune suffered from the black cat, do you?"

Dion Fortune

A golden magician, a member of the world's greatest magic association "Golden Dawn" a hundred years ago.

Although it was a "recruit egg" who joined after the Battle of Bryce Avenue, the traces of magic left in history have also left indelible contributions to future generations.

"Mr. Sigurd, you mean that the other party is also...'gold'?"

Sigurd just shook his head in the face of Fles' question.

"The enemy is a user of rune magic. She seems to like to use the method of planting runes everywhere in the target building and detonating them together like planting bombs, so I need your help to find the runes and destroy them."

The tone was full of impatience, and it was obvious that this kind of "mining" operation was not the field that this mercenary was good at.

This is one of the United Kingdom's cooperative organizations in Academy City. If it is destroyed at will, there will be a lot of time-wasting steps in the follow-up processing.

"But Mr. Sigurd, the other party probably hasn't started to act yet, they just formed a 'fortress' here, but why do you know the other party's spells in such detail..."

"How long do you think the 'Royal Pie' idiots have been dragging this shit out?"

"Forehead......"

"Similar cases have happened in the past, and these data have been included in the database. But what is interesting is that it can be said to be 'conclusive evidence' but it has not been resolved, so that it has now become one of the bait for the enemy to cover up. "

The more in-depth investigations into the targets of rebellion in various places, the more Sigurd felt how serious the inaction of the "royal faction" was.

Sigurd sighed, this is the final place of suppression.

The rebellion in Northern Ireland has been completely suppressed by force by the three "saints", and now the "Puritan faction" is in charge of stationing, while the "Knight faction" is sticking to England, and Wales is directly "closed."

As for the rest, naturally there is only one place in Scotland.

But here lies the problem. Sigurd didn’t realize that he had miscalculated the strength of the opponent’s intentional collapse of the “four cultures and three factions” until he noticed this completely “overwritten” area.

"Scotland, yeah. How did I forget one of the reasons why that idiot from 'Golden Dawn' is obsessed with it."

The members of "Wipe the Dark Dawn" look at me and I look at you. They all know who the "gold" Sigurd is discussing in this tone.

"People think it's nothing more than delusional on his part, but there must be some point in which one of the 'golden elders' was obsessed with Scotland, not England or Wales..."

"Like... the Stuart dynasty?"

"If you think about it carefully, Scotland actually has the 'something' at the core of the structure of 'four cultures and three factions' approaching the United Kingdom."

"Skun stone?"

"There's also the sword of the state, the coronation crown and the sceptre. Those are the Scottish version of royal objects. Because there was a fear that they would interfere with England's 'Katina II', when 'Edward I' attacked Scotland At that time, he took away the 'Stone of Destiny (Skun Stone)' and blocked its function."

This matter is not a secret. Under the content that everyone knows, the situation at this moment seems to be an extraordinary fact.

"Could it be..."

"That's right. The opponent's purpose is not just to use 'King Arthur' to create confusion, but also to take the opportunity to activate the 'equipment group' underground in Buckingham Palace to destroy 'Katina Orthodox' and 'Katina II'. Scotland proceeding simultaneously Here, there are also preparations for 'coronation', preparing to usurp control of the United Kingdom at the moment the 'royal faction' loses 'Katina'."

This possibility is not unheard of, in fact, Sigurd also noticed this at the beginning.

But the reason why everyone agrees to "impossible" is that the "royal faction" at this moment has not lost "Katina Orthodox" or "Katina II", that is to say, the queen at this time Elisa is still sitting on the throne, so the real "coronation" will undoubtedly fail.

But now the other party seems to have succeeded, and the method used can be said to be "deja vu".

"'Britain ruled by Scotland'. Didn't expect there to be such a 'back door' in the United Kingdom system..."

"It's not so much a back door, but another parallel system that can be used to enter the host. In a sense, it's actually a backdoor left by the 'royal faction'."

Sigurd could faintly see the members of the "Scottish" Knights hidden in the steelworks, and even the fat noble knight who was hanging on the high tower and howling.

"Joining the fact that one day Britain really loses the 'Katina Orthodox' and 'Katina II', and cannot survive the 'Third King', then it can continue to maintain the 'four cultures and three factions'" Constructive operation."

"But, Mr. Sigurd, didn't you just talk about the use of the other party's Nordic runes..."

"That's right. No one stipulated that the Scottish nobles could not learn Nordic magic, right? Besides, based on the analysis of the previous situation, I'm afraid they didn't build this 'stage' themselves."

"Black dwarf..."

Chapter 580 Eight: Have you ever thought about what would happen if the power went out?

Although I know that this is the meaning of "England ruled by Scotland", but to solve the current situation, I have to go deep into it.

Indeed, Sigurd was able to wipe out the steelworks and even the entire port city with one blow, but without knowing the opponent's true intentions, a rash shot is likely to catch the opponent's flaws.

Especially when he was in the No.20 second school district of Academy City, the enemy clearly showed his behavior of trying to analyze Sigurd's spell, so Sigurd must confirm whether the opponent's purpose this time is to analyze his own spell .

However, although Sigurd himself has various conjectures about the real purpose of the other party, and has no way of knowing the actual purpose of the other party, the most important thing right now is to concentrate on completing this mission.

In order to confirm the battlefield, Sigurd and the magicians of "Wiping the Dark Dawn" released "familiars" in advance, but no matter which side released them, they all lost contact after a few minutes of dispatching.

After giving up using the "familiar" to collect information, the group had to choose the most stupid way to explore this area.

Fleurs looked around, and there were many chimneys, and they were also blowing black smoke.

"There are so many chimneys here. Compared with ordinary ironworks, the density here is a bit too high."

"Because the demand for iron has risen?"

"It should be true. Due to the tense relationship between the Roman Orthodox Church and Academy City, military supplies have gradually become a popular industry, right?"

"Strictly speaking, it will become like that soon, so many people want to hoard a large amount of iron products now to make a fortune by then. You see, one-third of this factory area is brand new, and some are thrown away It seems that in order to adapt to the changes of the times, the shopkeepers here stepped up and expanded the factory buildings.”

Sigurd explained in a low voice, still staring at the chimneys belching black smoke through the fog.

"Moreover, the objects here are not limited to Academy City. If not, I would definitely choose to blow up here myself."

"While fighting, we must also take into account the possibility of international issues..."

"There are six 'scientific-side' countries as investors in this steel plant. Once it is blasted here, no matter how it is explained, it will be caused by 'internal reasons in the UK'. In the end, it will be the UK that suffers."

"But those guys are 'independents', right? Since they want Scotland to be independent from the UK, they certainly don't want to destroy such an important industrial area, right?"

Something flashed by, just as the girl's voice settled down.

"!?"

Before the group of magicians who "wiped the morning light" could make a sound, the red explosive flames engulfed the figures of a group of people.

It's almost like the picture after the bomber passed by.

The flames not only burned to death the people who were directly in it, but the lethality of the explosion reached the level that even people outside the circle would be dried by the high temperature and hot wind.

Black smoke filled the sky, and the color looked even more sinister than the ironworks in daily operation.

at the same time.

With a "wow" sound like a huge round fan, a corner of the Flaming Mountain was blown out from the inside.

A group of people came out unscathed, and the girl named Fleiss unfolded the "Truth Card (tattva)" in her hand. Its complementary color, to indirectly interfere with the five forces of nature.

"Mr. Sigurd, the runes used by the enemy are 'day' and 'true summer'."

"Well, setting them up in large numbers can lead to increased heat and dryness, which eventually leads to fire."

Sigurd didn't feel any surprises, and Sigurd didn't think that the other party would care about Fleiss' conjecture that "they don't want to destroy such an important industrial area, right?"

(Those guys are probably also "induced". Their behavior can no longer be deduced by common sense.)

The loss caused by the destruction of this steelworks, not to mention a huge loss for Scotland, just losing the possibility of relying on this steelworks to establish diplomatic relations with the six "science-side" countries, is very important for those who want "independence" It is also an incalculable loss for Scotland.

It is such an important building, but it was blasted without hesitation at this moment. Looking at the tall chimneys that fell, Sigurd could already foresee how many ordinary workers died under those chimneys that were fully fired. exploded.

"The primary color of fire is red, and its complementary color is green..."

red, green, blue, yellow...

Fles fanned out the colorful cards like a fan.

She carefully observed the situation, selected one of the unfolded cards, and quickly activated the magic.

But at this moment, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of "his-pong-", the card in Fu Leisi's hand was bounced away by some invisible force.

"what?"

"The scepter is the 'thing that induces the club to strike,' and the Stone of Fate is the prop that 'the true king stands upon and speaks aloud to prophesy.'"

A female voice came from a distant factory area, followed by countless white flashes that shot out like the spines of a hedgehog.

The "temple" hidden in the "steel factory" will increase the power of all energy and transform it into a unified attack. The "salvo" setup is not inferior to the bombing of a national magic force.

"The sword, then, is 'that which determines the flow of power'."

Sigurd's voice appeared before the group of magicians who "wiped the dawn" could react, and the dagger-like "magic sword" easily deflected all incoming attacks.

After the earth-shaking roar, the flying dust was blown away by a gust of hurricane.

What appeared under the flying dust were "craters" that perfectly avoided Sigurd and the others and were regularly distributed around.

"I see, you are not a 'royal family', right?"

"I have to be. Otherwise I can't protect them at all."

"The two have nothing to do with each other."

"It is the duty of the 'king' to protect the people, and this will not change."

"Isn't it convincing to say that from an idiot who just blew up a chimney and killed hundreds of innocent workers?"

"It's a necessary sacrifice."

Such a conversation made Sigurd feel impatient. The result of this matter being simpler than expected is that Sigurd is a little annoyed now.

"Have you thought about your last words?"

"No, you won't kill me."

She wears a long coat with unnatural bulges on either side of the waist.

It was obvious that there seemed to be some large object hanging from her belt, and it certainly wouldn't be something too old-fashioned like a dynamite bag.
