The sacred right side of a certain comic

1907 -

Peter and Paul Cathedral is the oldest church in St. Petersburg. It has a history of more than 200 years and is dedicated to the saints apostles Peter and Paul.

The church has a solemn appearance, with a towering bell tower standing upright. In this era, the bell tower was the tallest building in St. Petersburg. On the top of the bell tower, there is a three-meter-high golden angel statue.

The church is magnificent, with copper-plated chandeliers and colored crystal lamp stands hanging in the church. Many czars and grand dukes are buried here, with carved marble tombstones.

This church was established as the main church of the Orthodox Church by the current Orthodox Patriarch. Because the current Tsar Nicholas II had a good relationship with the current Patriarch, the Tsar lived in the summer palace for a long time, and the summer palace was located in St. Petersburg, so this church It also became the residence of the Patriarch.

In addition to the inside of the church where people can pray and hold masses, there is also a luxurious residence in the backyard of the church, which is where the current patriarch lives.

There are troops sent by Nicholas II to guard the outside of the church. From time to time, you can see clergy wearing black uniforms and solemn expressions inside the church. If you are a magician here, you will find these clergy. They are all agents of the Holy Church, and their mission is to protect the safety of the Patriarch.

An Asian man of about twenty years old hurriedly came to the Peter and Paul Cathedral. He was wearing the same color and style of ecclesiastical uniforms as the vicars. Outside the church, he smiled and nodded to the guards protecting the church. Those guards also He bowed his head in response with a pious expression.

Although this church is now the residence of the Patriarch, the Patriarch never does anything special and likes to contact the common people. Except for special times, this church is open to the public, allowing common people to come here to pray and visit. , and because the patriarch lives here, many devout believers regard this place as a holy place.

After entering the Peter and Paul Church, the Asian in religious uniform subconsciously slowed down, bowed to the icon in the center of the church, and then left the church from the side and walked to the rear.

"Kotomine, are you back?"

When he came to the back hall, the Japanese man named Kotomine saw many agents. Some agents were in the light, and some agents were in the dark. As a member of the agents, Kotomine also immediately I noticed the aura of these people.

Everyone is a believer, and every agent is polite when meeting them. Even if they look solemn during the mission, at this time everyone will cross themselves on their chests and show a soft smile..

If magicians are at most a family unit, closer to a lone wolf who explores the mysterious world, then the church is a group that holds each other together. Although there are many factions within the Cross and there are conflicts, but because Believing in the same doctrine, the Bible, the church is more united.

Compared with the Holy Church, the Magic Association is like a disorganized army compared with a regular army.

"Yes, this is the new book I brought for the Patriarch."

Kotomine is holding a cloth bag in his hand. From the opening of the cloth bag, you can see the neatly stacked books inside.

"The Patriarch has always been interested in the history of the East. Perhaps the Patriarch wants the glory of the Lord to shine completely on that land in the East."

The agent who stopped Kotomine crossed himself on his chest and said:"……Although we are colleagues, according to regulations, you must also undergo inspection"

"Of course."

Kotomine readily agreed, and then several agents came forward and began to conduct the inspection like a modern body search.

Most of the clergy who appear in the eyes of the world do not actually understand the mystery. They are believers chosen by the Lord to shepherd the lambs. The Holy Church, the secret department of the Cross, has mysterious power. Naturally, as the bishops of the three major sects and the pope, they are protected by agents.

Although everyone within the church knows that the current Orthodox Patriarch is called As an 'earth angel', it is said that he controls the power of the archangel Michael, but as a rule enforcer, protection is indispensable.

"Okay, you can go in. The Patriarch is waiting for you inside. May the Lord bless you."

"God bless you!"

The two agents recited a sacred word to each other, and then Kotomine straightened the folds of his robes and walked to a rest room with the cloth bag in his hand.

He slowed down and lowered his hands in front of the door. Knocked gently on the door

"come in."

After hearing the soft and young male voice inside, Kotomine carefully opened the door and walked in. He first looked up at the Patriarch sitting behind the sandalwood table and reading a book, and then He bowed his head respectfully and said:"……Your Majesty, I have brought you the book you requested."

"Well, put it on the table"

"yes!"

Kotomine stepped on the soft carpet that could almost sink into his ankles. He walked over gently and put the cloth bag in his hand on the table. The whole action did not make a sound.

Then he stood aside with an expression on his face. Looking with admiration at the figure wearing the patriarchal robe and reading a book leisurely under the noon sun.

Kotomine thought of his past.

He was born in a devout Christian family in the Far East Island Country and was baptized from birth. Became a believer, but the Cross Religion of the Far Eastern Island Country is slightly different from the current mainstream Cross Religion. It is one of the 45,000 cross-religion factions: that is, three hundred years ago, he led many people during the Shimabara Rebellion. The Cross sect was founded by a man named Amakusa Tokishiro, who resisted the shogunate's brutal levies. The official name of the Cross sect is the 'Amakusa style Cross sect'. When Kotomine was six years old, he followed his parents by boat to the neighboring country. The ancient country of Huaxia adjacent to the sea, and due to a strange combination of circumstances, he became a registered disciple of a master named"Li Shuwen" and followed him to learn"Bajiquan". Later, he may have discovered the"Bajiquan" by practicing"Bajiquan" After discovering his human potential, he was valued by the Holy Church. After many studies and training, he became an agent and joined the"Eighth Mystery Society", one of the Holy Church's institutions. Although he is young Not big, but Kotomine behaved differently in a battle to exterminate the Dead Apostles. He lost the title of 'trainee' and became a qualified agent. He was also assigned a new mission by the Holy Church, which was to come to St. Petersburg, Tsarist Russia, became the guard of the Patriarch who could not tell his age and was called the 'Angel on Earth'.

Kotomine was very excited to be able to come into contact with this 'angel' who was revered within the Christian Church. He was very willing to listen to God's teachings under his seat, and because the patriarch liked Eastern history and culture very much, and he was the only Asian among these agents, he was given the honor of serving the patriarch everywhere, which made many The agent is very envious

"Don't be shy, Kotomine. What books did you bring this time?"

Roy looked away from the book in his hand, looked at the young man standing beside him with gentle eyes, and then put the book on the table. The corner of Kotomine's eyes turned to the cover of the book the Patriarch was reading just now. That was A great historical book that is very famous in ancient China and well-known to everyone.——《"Historical Records"!
