Chapter 378: The Action of the Roman Orthodox Church
Chapter 378: Actions of the Roman Orthodox Church
When I came to the door of the conference room, what I saw was a horrifying scene of an old man in a black suit suddenly breaking open the door and then embedded himself deeply into the wall.
But when my footsteps approached, Sicaro, who a second ago had made passers-by worry that he would simply hang up in order to contribute to society, suddenly came back to life with full health, and he lifted his head from the ground with a "pop"
He pulled it out from the wall, and within two seconds he arranged his never-changing black super uniform, replaced his sunglasses that had turned into bones, and gave him a military salute.
"Boss! Commander Sicaro's mission has been completed! Come and report!"
The mission is accomplished, sister! What kind of mission is accomplished when you are flipping watches in front of the Papal Palace for people to be deported to the country!? Are you going to throw everyone to the Vatican just to save a plane ticket, you bastard!
At that moment, I rushed forward without hesitation and kicked him with a leg sweep - it didn't move, and then I hit him with a left hook - but he didn't miss it. This bastard was too resistant, and he wouldn't be able to do it without real skills. Now I took a step forward and twisted my waist.
, anger sank in the Dantian, and a single punch - did not come out, Cicaro quickly bowed his head and apologized.
"Boss, I admit my mistake and accept the punishment!"
I almost lost my temper when the punch didn't come out, but what really made me angry was - this guy finally admitted his mistake?
"Boss, I shouldn't be selling watches in front of the Papal Palace - but that shabby place is full of Roman Catholics, and the market really can't be sold! If I don't sell two watches, I would be too embarrassed to come back and tell the foreign urban management... eh
, Boss! You can’t use anti-ship weapons indoors, Boss!”
I can't stand it anymore! Look at the people I usually surround myself with! The commanders are either selling pirated plates or selling mutton skewers, or they run their own shop and are too poor to open the door to my house all day long.
Immediately I was moved to tears. The newly trained Scorpion Soldier couldn't tell the difference between a vending machine and a nether energy replenishment terminal all day long. I have raised an angel whose IQ is not even above the average. I have a child at home who has barely reached my waist.
Her mother!
There is a lord who plans to conquer the world sitting in this room! Pandora, stop hiding! Were you studying the world map just now?
"I'm just confirming the geographical location of the target of the operation," the 1.2-meter-tall young general looked up at me with a stiff face, "the situation in the sporadic islands and human countries around Italy is very complicated..."
The situation in Italy is complicated. Why did Mao draw a blockade for me over Antarctica?
Uh, Italy?
For a moment, I seemed to think of something, but the fleeting thoughts are more elusive than time. If I think about it now, it seems that nothing is left.
But it seemed that God didn’t want me to be confused for too long. Not long after, I received an unexpected invitation.
From the old fox, that guy Aleister invited me to talk to him in the ancient tomb - anyway, I think that ghost place with no doors and windows is no different from the ancient tomb.
After witnessing Lin Xue and I's ability to suddenly disappear from the room last time, Aleister didn't even send me a little girl to guide me this time, and just pretended that I was here.
The attitude of waiting for you is extremely disrespectful - I was so angry just at Cicaro!
"Hey, old fox, we meet again."
After familiarly using the teleportation device in my portable space to get rid of the messy space interference inside and outside this lifeless building, I stood in front of a certain pipe and greeted the other party carelessly.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood. Didn't my invitation arrive at the right time?"
Aleister kept his zombie face motionless, and his low and calm voice came from all directions.
"No matter when your invitation comes, it's not the right time, because I've never been used to being ordered around." I waved my hand to the man in the tube angrily, and then took out the usual Mazar. Damn it, we are not Lin Xue.
That dead rich second generation, and the boss must be different from the employees, right?
"Well, I hope the news I bring you can make you a little happier."
Aleister seemed to laugh in a low voice, and then said this.
"Um?"
I frowned, wondering what this old fox was planning.
"Originally, it should be an absolute secret to other people in this city, but as a mysterious and powerful 'outsider', I think such confidentiality should have no meaning from the beginning..."
"Tell me the key points, or I'll just go to the next page... Uh, just tell me the key points."
Aleister was stunned for a moment, calmed his nerves and then said: "According to the news I just learned recently, you seem to be looking for the whereabouts of a person?"
The atmosphere became stiff for a moment, then I stood up and took two steps forward.
"You're spying on things you shouldn't know, human."
Look at this sentence, there are so many bosses!
Aleister did not show the slightest fluctuation in my cold attitude, but said slowly: "That is just something I learned accidentally. I always have many and wide channels of information, and the information will not come here."
It must be my will. All I want to say is that no matter why you care so much about a human being, I have good news - the whereabouts of that human being have been grasped through my channels."
"I know," I said, and I swung my arms and sat down on the maza again. After occupying Lin Yatou's dragon chair last time, I was really yearning for it. I asked Paopao to build one for me.
Fully hardened with krypton gold, "Silvia should be near Italy now, and the Roman Orthodox people are transferring her. Although the purpose is unknown, I always don't care about the purpose of a guy I don't like."
"It seems that although you are outsiders, your intelligence gathering capabilities are quite strong. But in addition, I should have some things you are interested in here, such as - where is the human being you are interested in now?
, I am quite confident about this, as I have first-hand information.”
"The famous Aleister is now like a second-hand information dealer, but you succeeded - now you can speak."
"Venice, where the Roman Orthodox Church is preparing an attack on Academy City - the information I can provide is only this, but it should be quite useful."
That's it. In an instant, the cause and effect of the matter became clear.
"It seems that the Roman Orthodox Church is considering destroying the entire science," I smiled lightly, and the idea that had flashed in my mind before came to the surface, "Old fox, you have plotted against us again.
Yes, if this is the case, we will have to take action to snatch the girl back from the hands of the Roman Orthodox Church."
At this point, everything seems to be clear. Since the last contact with Sylvia, Aleister has regarded the latter as his pawn. Of course, the strange girl before that should also be one of the cards in his hand.
, and this time she was kidnapped just so that he could implement his plan. Maybe our search for a certain existence in Academy City has made this cunning guy aware of it. Anyway, after she was kidnapped,
The old fox felt that he could make us relax.
And this only makes me hate him even more.
The tragedy of the Misaka sisters, Kamijou Touma who was involved in various disasters, everything that Haruo Kiyama went through, and even the recent outbreak of the Fantasy Controller, he may be involved behind the scenes. He plots against everyone and treats everyone as their own.
He got something he could manipulate, and this time, he not only plotted against us, but even treated the originally innocent Sylvia as a one-time victim!?
Maybe, it’s time to let him sober up...
But now, the top priority is to solve Sylvia's problem.
Aleister smiled softly, his tone as calm as ever: "Please don't be so impatient, this is just part of our original deal, isn't it? You will protect the safety of Academy City as a guarantee for a safe life here.
, and this incident should be an unexpected situation, and I did not expect that the girl would be involved. Because of the subtle relationship between the camps, I cannot directly use the power of Academy City to stop the Roman Orthodox Church.
, then I can only turn to you as foreign aid for help.”
I walked up to the man with a warm smile and said, "Yes, we will protect the safety of Academy City. Even if the Roman Orthodox Church plans to use the Queen of the Adriatic to destroy Academy City, we will also get rid of the problem that happened centuries ago.
Old antique, but since everything was planned by you, and even Sylvia is just a bait, please stop talking to me with such a hypocritical attitude, how about it? "
The other party was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Sure enough, 'outsiders', you are not simple, but we are just trading. On the premise of not infringing on each other's interests, meaningless confrontation can only make us...
weaken……"
"Of course, I won't deal with you now," I smiled kindly and snapped my fingers, "I'm just telling you one thing, the initiative is never in your hands."
After saying this, I disappeared from the room in an instant without waiting for his answer.
After a full ten minutes, the lights of the extinguished instruments in the room were restored one by one, and then a deep, soft voice with a strange tremor sounded: "Aleister, I did not suggest that you use this method to request foreigners.
Human help.”
"Does it make you even afraid?" Aleister said in a low voice and said no more words.
Based on the original plot, you can roughly guess what the Roman Orthodox Church is planning to do now.
Between the actions near Venice, the mysterious magical fluctuations, and the abnormal gathering of Roman Catholics, there was only one thing they needed to make such a big noise in that place, the Queen's Fleet in the Adriatic Sea.
It was supposed to be the tragic fate of Kamijou boy, but now it has become a problem for us. Is it true that what Lin Yatou said is that the fairness of the world is that if you are unlucky, there will definitely be someone in this world who can enjoy it.
Are you happy?
The question is why my unlucky factor is more foul than that of Kamijou’s pick-up guy, you bastard!
After returning to the research institute, we first sent away the few girls who had almost regarded this place as their entertainment center. After thinking about it, we did not let Saten Ruiko participate. Although he was nominally the commander of the empire, that was all
Unexpected circumstances, we can't really let her get involved in this. After confirming that Kishan Chunsheng has become familiar with the existence of the Xiling host and is staying in the underground information center honestly, I summoned Qianqian and the others to discuss it together.
"The Queen's Fleet of the Adriatic Sea, or simply the Queen's Fleet, is an antique from centuries ago." Qian Qian, who watches anime with me when she has nothing to do, is very familiar with the plot. "That was before Venice." During the period when it belonged to the Roman Orthodox Church and even opposed it, in order to fight against the powerful water city known as the Queen of the Adriatic, the Roman Orthodox Church created strategic weapons. The purpose of the entire fleet was not only to confront the powerful maritime power of Venice, but also to The mother ship that protects them, the Queen of the Adriatic, is loaded with the most powerful deterrent magic created by the Roman Orthodox Church, a magic method dedicated to large-scale urban annihilation in Venice. Together with St. Peter's Cross, it is also called Rome. One of the ten forms of the Holy Spirit that the city is proud of. It is activated in two stages. The first stage will reduce the entire city to ashes, and the second stage will destroy the people, objects, and culture developed in the city... It was originally intended to prevent such weapons from falling. It fell into the hands of the enemy and was used against itself. The Roman Orthodox Church installed a targeting locking device on it so that it could only be used to launch attacks against Venice. However, in the original plot..."
Lin Xue took over the conversation: "In the original plot, the Roman Orthodox Church used the engraved cross to remove this target, allowing it to be used against any city, such as... Academy City."
I shrugged: "We all know that the plot has disappeared, the Amakusa Cross Sect has not yet appeared, and the sister Yannis who was used as a sacrifice does not know where to make the soy sauce."
"This is the bad part," Lin Xue rubbed his forehead, as if he was very tired, "I just looked at the future and discovered one thing - the Roman Orthodox Church's target of attack this time can't even see me. "
Then we looked at her in horror.
"You don't mean to say... that Sylvia was used as a target, right?"
In a very bad situation, Lin Xue's predictions never seem to be inaccurate.
God knows why the plot has reached this point, but our top priority now is to stop the actions of the Roman Orthodox Church, whether they are about to destroy Academy City, or whether Sylvia is about to be sacrificed because of such a boring confrontation between forces, this These are all intolerable to us.
I immediately contacted the British Puritan side, the fox girl Lola. Although she is as cunning as Aleister, at least she is loyal and reliable to us. To deal with magic matters, it is best to consult an expert. After some consultation, to be honest, I don’t think my angel is always reliable.
After learning about the plan of the Roman Orthodox Church, even Laura, who is a member of the Cross and has always been steady, couldn't help but say, "Those guys are really crazy." Even if it is opposed to science, the English Puritan has never had such crazy ideas. , and the Roman Orthodox people can really do it!
"Although it is top-secret information from the Roman Orthodox Church, I still know something about it."
Just as I suspected, the fox girl is not completely ignorant of the Adriatic Queen's fleet.
In the original story, even Index, the foodie girl, was able to get involved in the knowledge of the Queen's fleet in the Adriatic Sea. So as the de facto supreme leader of the entire British Puritan Church, Lola must know more secrets, and In front of the "Angel of the Lord", she would definitely not hide anything.
Laura in the video seemed to be busy combing her super long hair that could be used to hang herself and tie a bow. She was fiddling with a delicate silver comb and slowly said to me, while I
Not far behind him, Alaya, who acted as the light source and background girl, drooled over the comb that seemed to be very comfortable to use.
"You seem to have understood the basic information about it, so what I want to talk about now is its flagship. In order to prevent it from being destroyed by a single blow, the flagship is constructed with a special block structure, and each part of it is individually
The module has an independent magic structure. In other words, it will be quite troublesome to destroy it unless the whole thing is blown into pieces at once. Of course, I think this is not a problem for you. It may be a trouble.
On another point - the entire Queen of the Adriatic is covered with various warning spells. Although it is an actual old antique, the value of magical things often does not decrease slightly due to the passage of time. Those things
It is still useful today. The Roman Orthodox person in charge of commanding the queen's fleet is Archbishop Piagio. He is a guy who looks pious and upright but is actually unscrupulous. If it is to eliminate the heretics, he will do anything.
, even against angels - as long as they are not registered angels in the Roman Orthodox Church."
"That is to say, he is likely to launch a massive attack after discovering our infiltration, and even threaten Sylvia. It seems that you can't help in this matter."
"I'm sorry, Lord Angel," the fox girl showed an embarrassed look, twisting the small silver comb in her hand, "Although the excessive growth of the Roman Orthodox Church may affect the safety of the British Puritan Church in the future, from the perspective of the Christian Church,
From my position, I cannot openly attack believers of the Lord.”
"Oh, let the master do it himself. By the way," I touched my chin, and then my eyebrows twitched slightly, "Laura, can you stop torturing that comb?"
You tormented that comb Alaya and pinched me from behind, you bastard! Is this girl planning to moult these days? Why is she flapping her wings all day long?!
Laura: "...I will inform you if there is any new information..."
After saying this, the Grand Bishop, whose face could hardly help but begin to distort, hurriedly turned off the video - I guess she went back to memorizing the Bible to rebuild her reverence for the Lord.
And we began to prepare for our trip to Italy - to take the place of a certain pick-up god who had retired from the position of tragedy emperor to solve a big problem on the scientific side.
