"Well, what then?"

"Well, it’s a little complicated to say. In short, I’m currently on a crazy escape. I heard that the power of the church forces cannot enter Academy City, so I want to escape and hide."

"church?"

Shirai Kuroko doesn't know why, are those religious elements?

Well, religious fanatics are indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

From many rumors in the past, I know that it is definitely a very troublesome thing to have something to do with religion.

But if this nun is really Being chased by religious elements, Shirai Kuroko really couldn't help but die, but she had to go find her sister, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Just let her go. With this nun's natural stupidity, I'm afraid it won't take more than half an hour. Gotta be kidnapped

"Forget it, you stay with me for now, I will protect your personal safety"

"Eh?"

Osola was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Heizi pulled her away.

"Still not leaving? It’s rare for this lady to be kind"

"ok...ok"

On the other side, along the artificially constructed coast, is a rocky shore less than a few hundred meters away from the bathing beach. Next to the coastline is a cliff nearly ten meters high.

In order to prevent the bottom of the cliff from being eroded by the waves, the bottom is filled with wave-absorbing stones.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out impatiently from the blue sea. It was a hand wearing a wrist armor, and its heavy steel fingers shining with silver light grabbed the wave-absorbing stone.

Then, a full set of Western armor left the water and climbed up. From the top of the head to the toes, every inch of skin was covered in steel armor.

After the first one climbed onto the land, the other twenty knights also appeared on the sea. Each knight's wrist armor was engraved with the United Kingdom, which represented the Ying Kingdom.

These knights all swam here. They started diving from England, went around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, crossed the Indian Ocean, and came to Japan.

What they used was the sea current manipulation magic inherited by Saint Blaise. This is a high-speed stealth technique that allows humans to circle the earth in only three days.

However, this is not a magical ability attached to the armor. Each knight relies on his own body to activate this magic.

Nowadays, the boring armor equipped by the knight no longer has any magical functions. This is because the knight's physical ability is too strong, and the additional effects of the magic tools are hindering it.

Since the power of the knight has long exceeded the effects of magic tools, if the knight puts on magic armor, he will probably be destroyed by the powerful power of the knight himself.

The knighthood to which these knights belong has no special name, it is just a knighthood.

Names such as the Knights of the Iron Rod and the Knights of the Double Ax used by the Ying Kingdom in the past were abolished seven years ago. This is not because the current knights have lost their specialties, but because all knights have learned All technologies have brought the Knights into a new realm of almighty power.

The reason why these knights pursue power so much lies in the hidden worries within the Ying Kingdom and the purpose of establishing the Knights.

Today, the command system of the Ying Kingdom is in the hands of three forces that check and balance each other.

The Royal Faction is composed of the Queen of Ying and her council, the Knights Faction is composed of the head of the Knights and his knights, and the Puritan Faction is composed of the Supreme Bishop and his followers. The relationship among them is even more complicated.

The royal faction used royal orders to control the knights, the knights used political tools to use the Puritans, and the Puritans used church advice to control the royal faction.

In the iron triangle formed by the three forces, as long as one of the parties insists on pursuing its own policies, the other two parties will use various roundabout means to create a strong voice of protest and obstruct the implementation of its policies.

However, there are more reasons why Ying is known as the most complex Christian culture in the world.

The United Kingdom is a United Kingdom composed of four cultures: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. To this day, some places still use their own currency systems.

Even if they both belong to the Puritan sect, there may be disputes between the English and Welsh sects. On the contrary, even if they belong to the Puritan sect and the Cavaliers, if they are both Scottish sects, there may be secret communication between them.

Three factions, four cultures, and the interlocking power relations have made the country Ying quite complicated.

The greatest mission of the Knights is to maintain this relationship and prevent the complex United Kingdom from completely falling apart.

Because of this, there has always been a knot between the Knights and the Puritan Church of the Ying Kingdom. The Knights could not accept that the Puritan Church of the Ying Kingdom had gained the same power as the Knights.

Originally, the purpose of Puritanism in Ying was to fight against the Roman Orthodox Church. Ying did not want outside interference in its national affairs. However, the influence of the Roman Orthodox Church spread all over the world. If Ying did not obey the orders of the Roman Orthodox Church, it would be labeled as violating the teachings of the Cross. crime.

For this reason, Ying State established the Ying State Puritan Church in its own country, an independent cross-Christian church system. In this way, Ying State can declare to the outside world that we follow the instructions of the Ying State Puritan Church and no longer have to be led by the Roman Orthodox Church..

In other words, Puritanism in Ying was originally just a political prop. If the royal family and the knights were compared to giant gears, Puritanism in Ying was just lubricant.

But now, the power of the Puritan Church in Ying has occupied a place between the royal family and the Knights. Of course, the Knights are not willing to be restricted by props.

Therefore, the knights only obey the orders of the head of the knights and the Queen of Ying. As for the orders given by the Supreme Bishop, the Puritan leader of Ying, the knights usually do it perfunctory, and sometimes even disobey.

And this time the supreme bishop ordered: to help recapture the Book of Law and Orsola Aquinas. The knights had only one idea in their minds, which was to kill all the Amakusa Shiki.

Knights have no reason to follow the instructions of someone they don't agree with and sacrifice their lives for it.

The religious and ethical relationship between Yingguo Puritanism, Roman Orthodoxy, and Amakusa style was not taken into consideration.

Even if the Amakusa Shiki disappeared from the world, there would be no loss to the national interests of Ying. With the ability of the Knights, it would be too easy to kill all the Amakusa Shiki.

It doesn't even take a day to eliminate a weak sect like the Amakusa Shiki in the Far East island country.

Even if Amakusa holds Orsola as a hostage in his hands, the knights don't care. Even the Puritans of Ying have no interest in the Book of Law at all, because the contents of the Book of Law have already been stored in the heads of the Directory of Forbidden Books.

Whether Orsola is dead or alive has no impact on the Ying Kingdom. The Roman Orthodox Church may criticize the Ying Kingdom for this, but isn't it the job of the Supreme Bishop to appease the Roman Orthodox Church? The Supreme Bishop once instructed the knights Be careful about the movements of Kanzaki Kaori, the former Amakusa leader, but the knights don't take it to heart at all.

If Kanzaki becomes angry because Amakusa Shiki is annihilated, the knights will send her to the west with them.

This was the original plan in the knights' minds, but this plan was completely destroyed three seconds later.

Just as the knights climbed onto the wave-absorbing stone from the sea, the entire wave-absorbing stone area suddenly exploded.

Amidst the rumbling sound, there was a woman standing at the center of the big explosion that blasted twenty-one knights and countless wave-absorbing stones into the sky. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-collecting and recommending
