Chapter 167:
That said, she's still in London right now, and not too far from a central location. But why is she here?
Kanzaki Kaori, who came to the river, looked at the flowing water, but couldn't recall what happened before. In her memory, only she was assigned the task of searching for witches by the supreme bishop, and after some searching, she finally found the witch's lair, and nothing happened after that.
But one thing she knew very well was that she had failed. Not only did she not find the witch, but she was also captured by the witch, but as for how she was captured, what she saw before the capture, and what happened after the capture, she had no idea. Although she wanted to recall, her brain seemed to be very tired, preventing her from clearly recalling everything that happened not long ago.
Kanzaki Kaori shook her head, her slender ponytail fluttered in the air, and the cold wind brought her consciousness back.
No matter what happened, her mission has failed, so the most important thing now is to report the mission to the Supreme Bishop.
Chapter 287 Chapter 48
When Kanzaki Kaori returned to the "Church of Necessary Evil", it was already two o'clock.
This made her know that the period of time she lost consciousness was not long, plus sinking into the Thames, swimming from the middle of the wide river to the river, and then taking a taxi back to Windsor Castle, this period of time was almost the same. One hour.
How could the time of loss of consciousness be so short? What happened during this period? Why was she able to appear in the Thames unscathed?
It's a pity that Kanzaki Kaori knew too little. She couldn't remember what happened during this time, and she didn't even see the witch's appearance. This kind of failure experience was second only to being deceived by the Supreme Bishop last time.
Kanzaki Kaori returned to St. George's Cathedral awkwardly. On the way back, Kanzaki Kaori was baptized by the strange eyes of passersby all the time.
This is impossible. Because of the necessity of magic, Kanzaki Kaori has to wear this strange asymmetrical costume, and it must also attract the attention of others all the time, which is one of the characteristics of idol theory. If it's normal, it's nothing, but it's just because of the strange dress that increases the rate of return. But don't forget, Kanzaki Kaori has just come out of the Thames, and her clothes are still wet, especially the thin T-shirt on her body. Because the river is still wet, the white fabric is tightly attached to the On the skin, people can see the attractive skin through the top at a glance. In addition, Kanzaki Kaori herself is a very good oriental woman, which attracts the curious eyes of men and women on the road.
——Hey, look at that woman, wearing a soaked T-shirt and not wearing underwear, shameless.
Kanzaki Kaori seemed to hear the people behind him saying such a lot of talk. Of course, no one really said these words, it was just Kanzaki Kaori's psychological mischief, but under the influence of shame, Kanzaki Kaori's pace became faster. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't reveal his identity as a magician to ordinary people, perhaps everyone could only see an afterimage slipping into St. George's Cathedral.
"Finally back, our exposing magician!"
"It's because of you that everyone stares at me with strange eyes!"
Kanzaki Kaori pulled out the "Seven Days and Seven Nights" from his waist and almost rushed over to see the Supreme Bishop.
In fact, in the "Church of Necessary Evil" there has always been a saying that "Kanzaki Kaori is a woman who often stands on the front line of exposure", although this is indeed true, but it is precisely because of the fact that Kanzaki Kaori Weave ashamed. Is it what she wanted to do? If it wasn't for the composition of the spell, how could she be wearing such a strange and revealing attire? What is she working so hard for?
After some inquiries, Kanzaki Kaori finally found the person who spread this strange rumor, which was her immediate boss - Laura Stuart.
If this person hadn't been her boss, if Lola wasn't the Supreme Bishop, if Lola wasn't a well-respected cleric, Kanzaki Kaori really wanted to teach her a lesson.
For Kanzaki Kaori's fierce look, Laura didn't have the slightest feeling of fear, but she didn't have any light-hearted ridicule on her face either.
"Huh? Why are everyone so serious? Could it be that something happened?"
Kanzaki Kaori looked at the other people very strangely, their faces were very serious, especially her colleague Stiyl, whose face was full of frustration.
"Since Kanzaki is back, let's start our post-war summary."
Lola's heavy voice sounded in St. George's Cathedral, making everyone look up.
"The first is our loss. There are two damaged churches, one of which is the Church of All Souls, and the other is in Kensington Park. In addition, Kensington Park has been burnt down, and it is difficult to restore it in a short period of time. The 'Expel Idlers' enchantment must be continuously deployed."
Kanzaki Kaori was taken aback by Lola's words. She didn't expect such a bad thing to happen during her action. Not only was the church destroyed, but Kensington Park was also burned down.
But worse things are yet to come.
"In addition to this, there are also personnel losses. The second princess was slightly injured and will need to recover for about half a month. But more than half of the twelve knights who protected her have become disabled. Since then No longer qualified to be a knight."
"What, what?"
"Besides that, eleven magicians in the church died."
"What the **** happened?"
Kanzaki Kaori finally interrupted Lola's words, her tone was full of questioning, as if she was blaming Laura for what happened.
Lola was not angry because her words were interrupted, because Kanzaki Kaori's reaction was what she expected. Although this saint was one of the trump cards of the Anglican Church, he was the least likely to see anyone dying, not to mention living in colleagues around you.
"This is war, Kanzaki, and there will be dead people in war. In the battle of a magician, someone will die at any time, so the magician will say his magic name with the determination to die from the beginning."
"But... that witch didn't kill anyone?"
According to what the witch did in the Roman Orthodox Church, according to the known information, although the witch destroyed many churches and injured many people, she never killed anyone. Kanzaki Kaori has always been naive enough to think that although the witch is not a good visitor this time, she should destroy a lot of finances as expected, but she did not kill life.
Because of this, Kanzaki Kaori will carry out the task with a relaxed attitude. Who would have thought that she would get this result in the end.
"That's just the information I got from Italy. It's not known whether the information is true or false. It may even be fake information that the Roman Orthodox Church deliberately created in order to let us relax our vigilance. Maybe the Roman Orthodox Church has more people who died than us. A lot, but the secrecy is done very well. In fact, it is not just the Roman Orthodox Church, we have to keep it secret from the outside world. If outsiders know that the 'Necessary Evil Church' has died so many magicians, the UK may be in chaos. In this When weak, other sects and magical societies will not miss this perfect opportunity."
"how come……?"
Kanzaki Kaori was hit hard.
Although she knew that her thoughts were naive, Lola's words hit her even more deeply. Although she didn't show any other meaning, in Kanzaki Kaori's view, this was simply laughing at her stupidity, a matter of course. madness.
Kanzaki even thought that if she could find the witch's lair faster, she might be able to prevent her companions from being killed, even if she didn't know what happened during the time she lost consciousness.
For a time, Kanzaki Kaori fell into self-pity.
"The Church of All Souls has always been an attraction in London, and it is near St. Anne's Cathedral. Restoration... No, it should be said that reconstruction is the right thing to do. We must restore the Church of All Souls, and we must hurry up. As for Kensington Park's Question, I will personally go to the Queen to discuss whether it is to restore or rebuild. This will only come to fruition tomorrow. Remember, be sure not to let outsiders know what happened today. If you find that outsiders talk about this, I allow you to take special action."
The so-called "special operation" actually refers to allowing magicians to use magic on ordinary people. It has always been a taboo on the magic side to expose magic to the surface world, because the mystery of magic does not allow too many people to analyze it, otherwise it will reduce the power of magic. Therefore, if a magician is found to be exposing magic in the surface world, it is very likely that he will be wanted as a fallen magician.
"Then it's about the culprit of this incident."
Laura turned her head to look at Kanzaki Kaori, the saint who had been assigned a secret mission to track down the witch.
"I'm sorry, Supreme Bishop, I didn't find that witch."
There is no quibble here, because she really didn't find the witch, and she didn't even see her appearance. Although she knew that it was the witch's lair, but now she couldn't even find that part of the memory, but inexplicably appeared in the Thames River.
"It doesn't matter, it's not your responsibility, Kanzaki. Even the right seat of the Roman Orthodox Church couldn't keep a witch. It's too reluctant to find a witch by yourself, Kanzaki. In fact, I need you to do it. It was just to convey the message 'I have found you' to the witch, the effect was very obvious, the battle did not last for a long time, although the casualties were not small."
But if the fighting is not stopped, the continued destruction will be even greater. That's what Lola wanted to say, but it didn't satisfy Kanzaki Kaori, because she could have done better, found the witch faster, and ended the mess.
"Now, we need to pay attention to the three people who appeared on the battlefield. The enemy who appeared in the Church of All Souls is this—"
Lola took out a photo that clearly showed a blonde woman in it. Although they are magicians, the Anglican Church is not the type to hate technology, on the contrary, they will not resist the use of technology if they find it valuable.
It was as if this time, if it was just a magician, he might have been killed by the enemy before he got close, but with the help of a high-powered camera, the appearance of the enemy could be clearly photographed.
Tall and mature, wearing a classic dress, she looks like a lady attending a banquet. But in fact she is a terrifying figure who slaughtered the entire magician squad in an instant.
"The Church of Necessary Evil has not found any information about this woman, and Shirley, who is in direct contact with her, is still in a coma, so we only need to write down her appearance for the time being. If it is not necessary, it is absolutely not allowed to conflict with her. We will wait until we understand her origin before making plans."
Laura gave the photo in her hand to the magician on the side. After the meeting, this photo will appear in the hands of all the magicians of the Church of Necessary Evil.
"And this knight."
Laura picks up the second chapter photo, which shows a knight in full body armor on a white horse.
"He called himself 'Lancelot du Lac'."
The name stunned everyone present, and then a magician raised doubts.
"Wait a minute, Supreme Bishop, who exactly is Lancelot you're talking about? Could it be the descendant of a knight of the lake?"
"If this is the case, it will be easy, we can negotiate with France, but unfortunately, this Lancelot is the 'Lancelot', the dragon slayer a thousand years ago. Brave."
"How is it possible, that knight is already a legendary figure, why does he still appear here?"
"That's right, here's the problem, and this is what I'm going to say next - none of the enemy knights who fought with us today are not themselves. According to the reports of the second princess and Stiyl, we can already understand that at that time we The enemy we faced is a 'fake'. But the information from the second princess, Lancelot is indeed herself, and it seems that she is under the control of the witch. Prepare to face each other."
In the inner world, it is possible to resurrect the dead, summon the undead, and even pull the angels of heaven to the human world, but this difficulty is not something that ordinary magicians can do. Not to mention, Index, who has 13,000 magic books, has these magics that activate miracles in the knowledge she has, so the fact that the witch controlled Lancelot is not for everyone. unacceptable thing.
"Finally... Stiyl, I think it would be better for you to explain this person."
Stier's state is not very good, he looks very embarrassed. The priest's robe on his body had burnt marks, his hair was missing a section, and an inconspicuous new skin appeared on his face.
"This is the magician I met, and his name is - Romani Archiman."
"What? Impossible, isn't he in Japan?"
The person who said this was Kanzaki Kaori. In fact, in the entire Church of Necessary Evil, only she and Stiyl have had contact with Roman. Compared to that, Stiyl and Roman have been in contact more often, but Kanzaki Kaori is still convinced that Roman will not make a terrorist attack. kind of thing.
It was just a gut feeling that told him Roman Reigns would never do it. In addition, Index is still by Roman's side, Kanzaki Kaori is not willing to spread this incident to that child.
Stiyl obviously thinks the same way. His face is very bad, and he doesn't know if it's the effect of the battle or because he hates Roman in the first place.
The fire prevention technique worked, allowing him to avoid dying in the fire, but this subconsciously arranged technique could not make him completely escape the damage of the flames.
Fortunately, after the fire broke out, the fake Roman disappeared, and Steele was able to escape.
"Yes, this man is still in Japan."
Stiyl shook the photo in his hand, and then rudely pointed his finger at the person inside.
"I only spoke to him on the phone yesterday, and I just confirmed that he has not left Japan."
After a pause, Steele continued.
"So we guess that the witch not only has the power to summon the dead, but also has the ability to copy the people she has seen. Maybe Lancelot that the second princess encountered is this type. So what I want to tell you here is that if If you see the people in the photos in the future, don’t treat them as enemies at will, and don’t provoke them, because these are pope-level horror figures.”
PS1: In the magic ban, there is no level for magicians, either magicians or demons, there are no other categories. It's just that Stiyl's witch hunt is a Pope-level magic, so I mention it here, it doesn't mean anything else.
PS2: There are nine more updates left. It seems that there is no way to make up all of them this month.
PS3: It's so painful, Dabichi took all my inventory, including the lucky bag, costing a total of 210 stones + 20 amulet. So, what about Gongdu?
PS4: I seem to hurry up and write Dabichi ah ah ah ah! ! !
Chapter 288 Chapter 49
After the post-war meeting, Lola left behind Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori.
Regardless of their young age, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori were actually the top powers of the Church of Necessary Evil. One is a native Englishman. At the age of fourteen, he has completely parsed the existing 24 rune characters and developed 6 rune characters with new powers. Among them, the "Witch Hunting King (Innocentius is a powerful Pope-level magic.
Kanzaki Kaori is a magician who joined the Church of Necessary Evil after leaving the East, but her character is very simple, and she is very qualified as a subordinate. In addition, she is one of no more than twenty saints in the world. It can be said that she alone can support one-seventh of Puritanism.
There are only these three people here, and it's easy to think of a secret meeting. But that's not the case, what follows is just very ordinary words.
"I'm very sorry, Supreme Bishop, I didn't even see the shadow of the witch in the end."
"You don't need to apologize, Kanzaki. You must know that no one has seen the witch so far. It can be seen that she is a cautious person. You don't need to apologize for this failure."
"But if I could have been a little quicker, probably not as many people would have died."
"...No one could have predicted this outcome."
"Hey, this topic is enough for me."
Stiyl couldn't help but make a sound, because he couldn't see clearly.
Kanzaki Kaori's sentimentality was annoying enough, but Lola was not expected to follow suit. The previous words were fine, but the last few sentences, didn't they already put the blame on Kanzaki Kaori?
Of course Stiyl understood what Laura was thinking, but he just wanted to increase the guilt in Kanzaki Kaori's heart, so that Kanzaki Kaori felt that he owed the necessary evil to the church, so that Kanzaki Kaori could be more convenient. Help the Anglican ship.
Although Stiyl understood what Laura was doing, when it really happened in front of his eyes, it was really unbearable.
"Steer, you really don't understand style. But this topic really can't continue. Kanzaki, you just need to remember this failure and stop being indecisive in the future."
Lola nodded, with a generous expression like "I forgive you this time, but there will be no next time", and the dozen or so magicians who died in this battle could not leave her face at all. The next trace of sadness.
"Is there something important for the Supreme Bishop to leave us behind?"
"Yes, here I give you a task. I need you to find 'Romani Akiman' and ask him for information about these two people."
"...Does Lancelot need it too?"
Lancelot is a hero of the past, a knight in Arthurian times. If he is still human, he has been an undead for thousands of years, how could Roman know him?
"It doesn't matter, you don't need to name the knight, just give him the picture. Lancelot, and this woman, give their picture to Romani Archiman, whatever the outcome. How, please pass the reply to me as soon as possible."
"I understand."
Kanzaki Kaori didn't think too much. After experiencing this failure, she really wanted to do something for the church. Even if Laura asked her to slay the dragon at this time, Kanzaki Kaori would agree without blinking an eye.
"Steel, do you have Romani's phone number?"
"Yes, but I don't recommend that you inform him. If this guy knew you were looking for him, he might have been hiding when you arrived in Japan, so you might as well sneak over there, because he happened to be on vacation in Kanagawa these days. "
Stiyl gave Roman's mobile phone number to Kanzaki Kaori, and then told her where Roman was by the sea.
After getting Roman's contact information and location, Kanzaki Kaori left in a hurry, as if Roman would disappear as soon as he slowed down.
After Kanzaki Kaori left St. George's Cathedral, Steele looked at Laura and questioned her.
