It is a fact that there are many transcendents in the free city, but for a long time, both Yunokia and Crossside have hidden their identities in this city, integrated into the city, and acted according to the rules and systems of the city, maybe they will have some small actions, maybe sometimes they will also use the power of the transcendent to seek convenience and benefits for themselves, but in the end, these transcendents will not break the bottom line and will not make extraordinary damage in this city, after all, no one wants to do stupid things to kill chickens and eggs.

But the demons are different, and the revenge-obsessed Claire is not the same, how to cause the greatest amount of damage, how to subvert the order of the city is the most desired goal, and this is definitely not allowed by the mortals and transcendents in this city!

For so many years since the establishment of the Free City, the transcendents who enter the city have been restrained and suppressed by more powerful existences and the city's confusion, those fools who are arrogant and always feel that they are the rules are often the first to be exterminated, while the smart people have chosen to act in a low-key manner in the city according to the rules, and the cultists who worship demons have always been the biggest defense objects of the Free City.

Lelouch learned from some sources that the free city once seemed to have accepted some cultists, and these wealthy and large merchants in the upper part of the city once thought that cultists, even if their beliefs were extreme, they were still human beings all the time, and they needed food, clothing, and all kinds of material things to meet their spiritual and physical needs, and all this could not be separated from money. But soon these merchants found out that they were wrong, cultists are indeed mortals, need food, clothing and other living materials, but their belief in demons makes them radical, these cultists are completely happy and sad, one second they are still laughing and talking to you, but the next second they may draw a knife and stab you in the body.

In addition, cultists are like disorderly beasts, sacrifice and kill for the demons they believe in can hardly be restrained by law and punishment, even hanging the corpses of cultists all over the city wall can not curb their bloodthirsty and crazy thoughts, they are a group of monsters who just want to kill, it is unreasonable at all, these crazy monsters go like a plague, where they will inevitably be eroded by their disorderly behavior and gradually wither.

Compared to the gods' rejection of the free city, the cultists who worship demons are even more disgusting!

The city that has been abandoned by the gods in the mouth of the world, the city of falls, the city of sin, the city of twists, this city that has been described as hell on earth by the world with countless notoriety, and in the end, this city full of sin as if ruled by demons is the city that rejects demons the most, and sometimes I have to say that it is really unpredictable.

Sin City, where demons are not welcome┉┉

On the edge of the city outside the city of Free City, near the heavily guarded city gate, a black-haired girl pulled her hood slightly and looked from the carriage at the ten-meter-high iron gate not far away, more than twenty meters of the city wall patrolled back and forth with soldiers equipped with heavy crossbows, a large number of magic crystal cannons and protective circles plus moats, the city has always given people a sense of indestructibility, even if the transcendent looks directly here, when they see the tall maze lock circle standing behind the city wall, they will be afraid and understand one thing, the attack on the city should never be tried from the outside, through the inside is the best way to disintegrate this city like an iron wall。

"A city that can't be attacked from the outside?"

The black-haired girl put down her hood with a look of disdain: "┉ It's too self-righteous, the nest of the ants is only a nest of ants in a strong state, and in front of the real transcendent existence, the city is simply a sand castle, and it will completely collapse with a slight push." ”

"It's easy to dominate, but for us to fight against a city with twenty meters high walls and nearly 100,000 soldiers and mercenaries, it's just a mayfly shaking a tree. ”

There is also a man in the carriage with his eyes slightly closed, as if he is pretending to sleep, sitting opposite the black-haired girl to rest, although he looks very young, but the whole person is like an out-of-body sword, giving people a feeling as if being cut by a sharp blade.

"So our mission is just to monitor, and there's no need to confront the city head-on. ”

The man tilted his head when he heard this: "Then Miss Sophia, you should let the spies of the Order come with you, I am not used to this kind of work like a ditch rat." ”

Although the tone was polite, he could vaguely feel the unhappiness in the man's heart, as if someone had taken a small iron sword to use as a woodsplitting knife.

Sophia ignored the little dissatisfaction in the other party's heart: "Pay attention to your tone, Asaried, this is a task given by Lord Aleguso, as a member of the Order, all you have to think about is how to carry out and complete the task, no matter who or what kind of identity is before the order of the Master, it must be carried out first." ”

"It's because of the mission given by the Great Killing Lord that I'm honestly afraid. The man known as Arzerid finally opened his eyes when he heard Arzeguso's name: "I'm a warrior, not a spy, I'm good at frontal combat against the enemy, I'm not good at sneak attacks and assassinations, other laymen do insider things, I don't want to be punished for messing up the mission." ”

"Shut up, Ashered, what I need is a cover for your status as a nobleman of the Kingdom of Kreses, and at the same time you know more about how the upper echelons of humanity work than anyone else┉ But if you're really stupid enough to mess up the mission, I don't mind if you turn into a corpse right now to avoid bad things. Sophia's tone was still calm, but the killing intent in her connotation was real.

Ashered knew very well that this emissary with a special status in the Order was not joking with herself, or that she never did, and that she would have killed herself immediately if necessary: "I understand Miss Sophia, but I also need to remind you that my so-called aristocratic status is just an empty shell, and besides, my people are almost dead, and I am probably the only one left in this world who is still continuing their bloodline, so the nobility is just a phantom in the end." ”

"You don't care at all. ”

"I didn't care, from the moment I was born, I hated my identity and the so-called aristocratic family. Ashered sneered, like a personable noble son and like a bloodthirsty Shura: "I am me, I don't need others to recognize my own identity, I have never been rare in the so-called aristocracy, nor in the so-called background, bloodline and other ethereal things, the only thing I believe in is the sword in my hand!"

Sophia didn't say anything but turned her head and continued to look out the window, looking at the bustling convoys and pedestrians on the road, the inspection of the Free City today seems to be very strict, and the speed of movement is very slow, even if her party is walking through the exclusive passage for nobles and merchants, it is still extremely slow, and it seems that the soldiers in and out are the same from the distance Judging from the strength of the soldiers' inspection.

Although there is a magic guide in the carriage to regulate the temperature, even if the sun is shining outside at the moment, it can maintain a comfortable temperature, but waiting like this makes Sophia feel extremely bored.

At this time, the members of the Order, disguised as guards, whispered quietly outside the carriage: "I'm sorry Miss Sophia, the inspection in Freedom City is very strict today, and the speed is a little slow, please wait for a while." ”

"It doesn't matter, can you handle it?"

"Please rest assured, Miss, all documents and identification documents are fully prepared, and there will be no ┉"

Before the guards could finish their words, there was a sudden commotion outside, and there seemed to be a faint shout from the soldiers checking at the city gate.

"It's a cultist!

Suddenly a stunned look appeared on the guard's face, and on the side, Yasherid, who was about to enter a state of false sleep, subconsciously held the hilt of the sword, and the muscles of his whole body tensed and entered a state of combat readiness in an instant, Sophia frowned, but instantly signaled Yasherid to be quiet, and from the sound of his voice, it didn't seem to be his own thing.

Sure enough, just as Sophia judged, a man in strange clothes was running wild at the entrance of the chaotic slum on the other side, and the people who were waiting to enter the city along the way dodged as if they were avoiding the plague god, but no matter how fast the man ran, he couldn't match the speed of the horses, and after being caught up by the cavalry, he was so frightened that he gave up his resistance, and when he was escorted by the soldiers, he could only argue that the tattoo on his arm was just a mark that every adult man in the family would put on it, this was definitely not a demonic mark, and he was definitely not a cultist！

But the soldiers will not pay attention to this set, after the appearance of demons in the free city, the bosses have ordered to strictly prevent cultists from infiltrating the city, any arm or body with suspicious marks, and can not provide valid documents, all as suspects are thrown into prison for interrogation, once it is confirmed that it is a cultist, considering that they may master the evil arts of the devil, do not have the conditions to be reduced to slavery, to be executed immediately. As for those who are wrongly caught, you can usually get out of prison by paying a bail, but if you can't pay even a little bail, then the cage of the slave market is waiting for you.

"Not for us, Miss Sophia. After determining that the commotion was over, the members of the Order quietly reported.

Realizing that it was a false alarm, Ashered snorted and relaxed and began to pretend to sleep, but Sophia signaled the guards not to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, and first entered the Free City to join the believers lurking in the city.

The convoy moved slowly when it was inspected, because the documents were complete, and Sophia and Ashered in the carriage were both extraordinary, the guards naturally did not dare to make more trouble and quickly let them go, but although they entered the free city, Sophia's heart could not be calm, the city has not been calm recently, and it is obviously coming towards her side, obviously the task given by the master may not be so easy to complete.
