The water in the rear, a member of the darkest part of the Roman Orthodox Church, the "Right Seat of God", has the nature of Gabriel, the "power of God".

One of the less than twenty "saints" on Shijie, and a "special saint" with the dual nature of "Divine Son" and "Holy Mother", with an extremely terrifying liliang. While being the "God's Right Seat", you can also use normal magic that cannot be used by the "God's Right Seat".

The property of water is "divine power".

Because of the conception notification, you can use the secret ritual of the adoration of the Virgin Mary, "The Mercy of the Virgin". Relying on the "mitigation of punishment" characteristic of the Adoration of the Virgin, the condition that "the 'Right Seat of God' cannot use ordinary magic" was overcome. One of the best at water magic.

Using the properties of "divine power", the water absorbs the night qi containing moonlight, causing the metal sticks to accumulate a huge liliang, which has the destructive power of an asteroid collision. Not only that, but because of the Adoration of the Virgin, even if there is no real moonlight, he will still be blessed by the real moon.

This is what Natsume knows about him, and if nothing goes wrong, he should be able to complete this mission based on the above information. But what worries Natsume the most is that he has to open the 'Saint Honkai' three times, and he always feels like he will be killed the second time.

Looking up, the early sun had risen, and the light that pierced the darkness illuminated the path ahead, and a group of people walked out of the forest near the beach along the forest path.

Ahead was a road paved on undulating hills, and they wanted to go to the city called St. Petersburg to rest.

Most of the scientific inventions of the last three centuries came from St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg's school of science also enjoys a high reputation in Shijie, but it must be very dissatisfied with the sect stationed there.

However, in fact, advanced science is magic, and Natsume remembers that this event was recorded in history.

"What are you thinking?"

The young man named Trian took a few steps back and walked with Natsume, he lowered the brim of his hat and tightened his belt, as if he was hungry.

"I didn't think about anything, I just remembered the greatest alchemist."

"Alchemist, huh?"

Speaking of which, Trian continued with interest

"Alchemists, though known in medieval Europe as ominous, devilish, or calamitous, were in fact the first scientists of the truth."

"Scientists, you say?"

If it's correct, this person should belong to the magic side, but Natsume doesn't know much about this concept, so it's okay to take it with you.

No, no, no, how can it be, Natsume, who wanted to ask a question, got such an answer from the other party.

"For me, magic and science are good, as long as they bring change and happiness, aren't they all good? Returning to the topic, is the greatest alchemist you just talking about, referring to 'Nikolai Mailer'? ”

"Hmm~ yes."

Nikolai Mailer, the first and only alchemist on Shijie to create the 'Philosopher's Stone'.

But if you think about it, the so-called 'Philosopher's Stone' and 'One Stone' are not very successful in this Shijie, and Natsume is surprised that this person actually knows about Nikolai Mailer.

Trian nodded amusefully, and the ivory necklace around his neck shook, and a little starlight emerged from the necklace.

It's something like a magic amulet.

Trian grinned as he clutched his stomach.

"I've been chasing those guys for a few days, and I don't have the slightest time to rest."

"So that group of people want to chase you? Is it because of the difference in faith? It can't be, there are so many heretics on this shijie, they won't target you. ”

"Of course not because of that...... We're here to investigate some of the incidents, and we're also escorting something. ”

"What?"

This must be kept secret from outsiders, and Terrian left Natsume's side with an apologetic expression, blending in with the crowd again.

Arrived at the city, the second largest city in Russia.

The origin of the name of St. Petersburg also has a long history.

"Stern" - Latin - meaning "holy", "Peter" - the name of the saint who was a disciple of Jesus, interpreted as "stone" in Greek, "fort" - "city" in German or Dutch; In this way, the name of St. Petersburg not only coincides with the name of Peter the Great, but also shows that this young city has an extraordinary cultural background.

Although this is an era of religion, technology and magic, this city is still very prosperous as a city of communication and exchange.

The first thing you see when you enter the city from the boulevard is the domed houses, the Roman-style buildings and the streets, the goods in the windows still shine brightly in the mist, the clock ticks from afar, and the tall carriage gallops past at the sound of the coachman.

The city full of Western style is presented to everyone.

On the vast square stood a huge stone pillar carved with figures, and amber-like walls appeared above the luxurious building at the end of the view, and Natsume, who was just about to walk ahead, was clicked by Trian, who motioned to follow them.

It feels a bit of a pity, after all, Europe in this era has countless attractive things, good wine, beautiful women, and already unlimited enthusiasm.

The 'Astrology Brigade' followed a trail along the main road, and at the corner of the road paved with stone slabs, a speakeasy sign appeared in front of them.

"This is it."

Everyone else had already walked in slowly, except Trian waving at Natsume with concern.

Natsume, who was about to walk over, stopped, and at the other end of the corner, a boy dressed in gray cloth was tightly grabbed by a tall hat chef with a rolling pin.

"Start doing this in the morning! I'll just say that it's not been peaceful lately, and I'm afraid that the devil's claws have reached in through your impure people, and people have been missing recently, maybe it has something to do with you, and give me back the bread before then! ”

"I didn't steal!"

It was a completely unconvincing lie, and the boy's bosom was already bulging with bread.

"Lying before God is punishable! Fast! Give it back to me before the morning Mass begins! Pray for God's forgiveness! ”

"There is no god at all."

"I want to find a fight! Even children will not show mercy! ”

The cook raised his right hand, which caused the boy to close his eyes timidly, but the boy did not feel pain after waiting for a few seconds.

His hand was caught, and the chef's right hand was held by Trian, to which he looked confused and somewhat angry.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's not good to use violence against children."

"What's your business! You're a cultist somewhere! ”

"No, no, I'm just an ordinary traveler, then, if I can, I'll pay for the bread."

"Oh?"

Looking at Trian who was groping with the money bag, the chef let go of the boy in his hand, and the other party took the opportunity to run away, leaving only Trian groping his whole body.

"Where's the money?"

"Well, please wait......"

Only three seconds later, Trian thought Natsume had sent a distress signal.

Natsume waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have any money, which made the other party's Trian smile 100% wry.

"You, at least be prepared for that kind of thing."

On the way into the bar, Natsume looked at Trian, who had been punched in the left eye.

It's not that he didn't help Terry, he just wanted to see how far he could go, but he was beaten up, and Natsume had to go and 'get' some money.

"Hehe, when you see someone in difficulty, you have to help, this is the church of your parents, and it is also her advice."

"It's not good if it's too noble."

"I see."

Pushing open the door to the bar, the smell of wine vibrating with the noise, everyone in the brigade took off their defensive robes, revealing their off-white linings and heraldic coats of consent.

Seeing Trian and Natsume, several of them waved their wines and motioned for them to drink with them.

As if sensing that Natsume was a little surprised by the change in front of him, Terry in the bathroom gently patted Natsume on the shoulder

"It's kind of a base for us, and everyone is relaxed here, but it's ......."

"But what?"

"It's better not to go there for a drink."

"Huh?"

Looking at where Trian was pointing, a red-haired girl in a loose beige short-sleeved skirt and a short skirt of the same color was gulping down a drink, and a red scarf that was richer than her hair was scattered on the wooden table, from which the weapon with the hilt of the sword exposed to the girl's right could be seen.

Trian waited until Natsume finished his observation before speaking

"It's the boss here, and at the same time, it's also the witch of the brigade."

"A witch?"

For associations, this nickname is really rare.

Witch hunting in medieval Europe was in the fifteenth century, which is probably about the same as it is today.

Thinking about it this way, wouldn't the timeline of the main story have to stay here for nearly a hundred years?

Putting the irritating trivia out of his mind, Natsume walked to the roof with the food Trian had handed him.

In front of you, the street stretches to the end of the view, the windows that look like they are made of amber are filled with all kinds of goods, and the bar is on the first floor, so it took some time to get to the top of the building, Natsume.

Along the way, you'll see old chandeliers and creaking staircases, as well as cobweb-strewn interiors.

"The ......"

A voice came from behind, and Trian, who was holding a piece of cheese, approached Natsume's side.

"I think it's better to tell you about the previous topic."

"The previous topic?"

"Yes, about the escort and the investigation, so that you don't have anything to do with us, otherwise the Russian church and the pagan inquisition will do something."

"That thing is ......"

"'Chattiny's Pledge'."

Hearing Chattinny, Natsume resounded with the well-known story of the largest plague that occurred in the 12th century, the Black Death.

The Black Death was one of the worst plagues in human history. Originating in southwestern Asia, it originated in the Black Sea city of Kaffa and spread throughout Europe around the 1340s, and the name "Black Death" was the name of Europe at that time. The plague killed about 75 million people throughout Shijie, and it is estimated that about 30% of the population of medieval Europe during the outbreak died from the Black Death.

The plague of Chatini was an earlier plague, and his appearance directly caused the power of Byzantium to decline instantly, and the population decreased sharply.

But the plague is long over, is it going to happen now?

"I've heard from both the English Puritans and the Roman Orthodox Church, and although we're not very powerful, there are many ways to gather intelligence, so I've heard that there are secret societies that plan to summon the undead and viruses through magical reproduction."

"Is it Chatinny's plague?"

"Yes, after all, the curse of the Black Death is uncontrollable, and that large-scale virus has been touched before it has been passed on."

"Understood."

"So ......"

Trian said after eating all the cheese in his hand

"Please separate from us here, if you get involved, it's very troublesome."

With that, Trianjin left the roof.

What do you want to do?

Want to do something?

The next event will be the battle with the Orlan Knights, and at the same time, the girl who will be regarded as the 'Joan of Arc' will be rescued, and it may have something to do with it.

This is a future that has not been depicted, and of course it can be called the past.

As Natsume was about to leave the place, a figure pounced on him from behind.

The voice rang in my ears.

"I found you~ So, okay, can I kill you?"
