20. The Sixth Wedge Demon
The Inquisition is not only maintained by the clergy, but perhaps this type of person who also serves as an ombudsman only makes a deep impression on himself because of his frequent appearance. But in fact, apart from them, there are other positions that are also maintaining the development of the inquisition.
First of all, there are the missionaries who are in charge of the missions in the various churches, who make the most basic contributions to the inquisition like grassroots personnel, and it is clear that there are few people among them who are aware of the existence of "yokai". On top of that, the priests in the headquarters or branch of the Inquisition should have a higher status, but it seems that there are a lot less things to do, in fact, if you just stand there every day and pray for a while with your eyes closed and pray for some "God", what kind of "Messenger of God" can be done by anyone. After all, no one has seen a real "God" or ushered in a real "miracle" for so long, hasn't it? Even if something lucky happens, it probably won't be the "god" they think it did.
God doesn't care about such trivial matters.
Aside from these priests who can't fight and won't be in charge of fighting, they must be the machine spirits like Barrett who work in the Inquisition. However, judging from what happened to Ballet, it is clear that their status and treatment are not as good as imagined.
It's not unthinkable if it's just speculation, but if everyone is working hard for the court, why do they have to fight internally? If...... What would happen if this "internal struggle" had anything to do with the Magic Society?
If...... If all you see is the scene in front of you, then the so-called speculation before. Can it really be dismissed as speculation?
"Hey!? You okay? ”
Nangong rushed to the rooftop where Ballet was located. Although he almost didn't give Barrette's oolong gun to an unknown death. However, judging from the trajectory that was obviously far away, it was clear that Ballet no longer had the strength to aim.
It was a sudden thought, but it really didn't go wrong to run to help.
"Ambushed?"
The "magicians" lying around clearly proved what a boring question Nangong had asked. And Ballet, who has singled out so many "magicians", although she doesn't seem to have a big problem, is also a little tired and can't stand up, although even now she still finds time to sip the canned beer next to her.
"And what do you think?" Panting, Ballet threw away the beer cans and stood up with her gun propped up, "You guys should be ambushed over there, let them get out of the way." ”
Most of them have already ...... Can't be withdrawn.
"Hey. What to see. ”
Just as Nangong was staring at the corpse lying in a pool of blood in a daze, his body mixed with the smell of sweat was already leaning on his shoulder, and Nangong, who hurriedly turned around, only found a tired face.
"Ahhhhh
"That ......" was a little nervous, but the strangeness in Nangong's eyes at this time forced his brain to calm down when he couldn't calm down.
The first is the corpses around here, if it weren't for the brain memory problem, this time the opponents should be the magicians of the Magic Society. If you're a magician, there's no such thing as a close-quarters fight, so it's suspicious that the circle around is dressed in a magician's robes but looks more like a thug.
The second is Barrett herself, even if she admits that the ambushers around her are just some relatively "primitive" magicians. So where did the scars on Ballet's body come from? Magic obviously doesn't cause abrasions or the like, but it's more like a scar that comes after hand-to-hand combat. So hand-to-hand combat...... Could it be that in this era, there are already people who can fight and play magic? Should only melee mages exist in novels? If that's the case, if that's the case, Ballet probably won't just suffer this injury.
Putting that aside, how did the magicians manage to prepare so precisely, and why was Ballet's side discovered in such a short period of time? The reason is simple, but it's really hard to speak.
"I think the tribunal might have ...... Mole. ”
This judgment must be very rude to a "guest" who has just arrived at the court, and in that case, I have to please......
"You're a humorous person, how about you send me back first than joking?"
How could it be a joke......
"Hoo ......"
After staring at Ballet's face for a long time, Nangong still reluctantly chose to give up. She is not stupid for this drunk woman, but what is the reason why she does not hesitate to bear this kind of "betrayal" and can't tell the truth?
Since Ballet's side can't communicate, she has to ask Filili, but at least she has to send Ballet back safely first, which is obviously a bit ...... It's difficult.
"Ah, is the goo finished?"
The little girl leaning against the wall, holding the snack box and moving her mouth like a rabbit, propped herself up. Guys I've never met, and even more so ...... It's not at all clear when she showed up or how long she'd been here. If this is also a type of "magic", then ......
"The dim sum in this world is really delicious, more than one or two grades." The girl threw away the empty box, and there were still a lot of doughnuts in it a moment ago, but the girl's bottomless mouth wrapped them in an instant.
Obviously, you can't taste anything "delicious" in this way.
"Are you...... Enchanter? Nangong, who was carrying Ballet, instinctively took a step back, and it was an indescribable sense of tension. Obviously, the girl next door with blonde curly hair in front of her should be just a child who ran out to eat alone, but why does it feel even more tricky than Emilia who calls herself a "trainee witch"......
"Mages are human, so Belle is not."
Whew, it's okay......
……
These words seem to have exposed the identity of the little girl, right, if it's not a human, is it a monster? Indeed, if it's a youkai, then this tension can also be explained, could it be that the magic association has been involved with youkai......
"Introduce yourself, Bellou is the sixth wedge gluttonous Beluseb under Lord Loki."
"Yes, demon?"
