Magic world

Generally speaking, the application process is very fast. As long as you provide valid supporting documents and identity information, you can obtain a three-day temporary market entry permit almost on the same day.

Of course, if you want to stay longer, you can make a special appeal and obtain a license status that extends the statute of limitations.

As for those foreign visitors who cannot pass the verification of Reimu information that is connected to the entire Japanese government network, it is also very simple. They can also obtain permission as long as they obtain the guarantee of the corresponding person. The only difference is that extension cannot be carried out and the area of ​​operation is restricted. It’s just a limit.

So three days later, Eiko Nakayama, who is the manager of the public relations department and now the guide of the inspection team of Martino Head Office, took Archbishop Andrew and a dozen people on a bus and moved to the Akiruno Municipal Autonomous Region in western Tokyo. .

Under the influence of Tokyo traffic that has been improved due to the command of a multi-functional application robot produced by a technology company in Akiruno City, it only took about half an hour for the bus to arrive at the inspection link between Akiruno Autonomous Region and Tokyo. Before the mouth.

This is a checkpoint similar to a highway toll station, but unlike the toll station, there is no guard box here, only automatic railings for blocking the road, multi-functional combat robots for warning, and surveillance probes for verification and attack laser weapons. The existence is sandwiched in the center by thick alloy walls more than fifteen meters high standing on both sides of the road.

"Show your license number." A female electronic announcement sounded.

"3009857621." Nakayama Eiko said quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the picture on the virtual screen suspended above the inspection gate immediately jumped, and half-length photos of fifteen people including Nakayama Eiko, Archbishop Andrew, Archbishop Mark, etc. appeared. At the same time, a colorful light penetrated the bus and entered the car. He scanned the space from beginning to end, including the bus and its passengers. [

During the laser scanning process, the dozen knights instinctively tensed up their bodies and looked like they were ready to attack at any time. As the main staff, Andrew and Mark looked at each other and waved their hands behind them in a relaxed manner. Signaling others to relax.

"The identity is met and you can enter." The female electronic voice sounded again.

"You have 72 hours to stay in the city, please be careful, otherwise we have the right to forcibly evict you from the city."

"Bah~" Then, with a sudden sound of exhaust, the obstacles in front of the bus quickly moved away to both sides, revealing the blocked road in front of the bus driver.

The driver didn't hesitate when he saw this. He immediately released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator, started the car and drove towards Akiruno City.

But they didn’t know that at the moment they were scanned by the laser, two pieces of information were transmitted to the Akiruno City Special Human Management Bureau and the central system Reimu through the network, and then copied and distributed to Reimu. Within the city's alert system network.

Let's put it this way, from the moment they passed the checkpoint and drove towards Akiruno City. They became the key surveillance targets of certain departments and combat robots in Akiruno City.

After driving for about ten minutes, the bus officially entered the urban area of ​​Akiruno City.

In an instant, a bustling modern building came into view through the moving bus, and Archbishop Andrew and others came into view. In Akiruno City, high-rise buildings with novel designs and reasonable planning can be seen everywhere. The roads are spacious and clean, and there is no garbage at all. And you can often see a barrel-shaped cleaning robot with a bunch of brushes at the bottom swimming around, cleaning the road at all times.

The traffic environment is relatively good. From almost every distance, you can see a barrel robot like the one seen on the streets of downtown Tokyo suspended in mid-air, directing traffic. As for public security, although I have made a judgment because no crime has occurred, it seems that there is a unique management presence to make the public security environment stable.

In addition, cities often have decorative fountains or art buildings that play soft music. It provides an excellent living environment for the residents of the city.

Generally speaking, the first impression of Akiruno City is that it is clean, generous, and has a comfortable environment, which makes people want to settle here.

"By the way, I heard before that you can see angels here, but why didn't you notice it?" Archbishop Andrew looked at the empty sky outside the car. Then he turned to ask Nakayama Eiko who was sitting in front.

"Angel? Ah, there was indeed a period of time on the Internet that there were angels guarding Akiruno City. For this reason, some people gave Akiruno City the name of the City of Angels. But that was a long time ago Not many people talk about this anymore, so why is Mr. Andrew still interested in such rumors?" Nakayama Eiko explained, and then asked a bit strangely.

"I am a Catholic, so when I heard that angels appeared here, I wanted to see them. This is why I came to this city." Archbishop Andrew smiled. [

"That's it." Nakayama Eiko said with a look of surprise, and at the same time thought to herself, no wonder these people from the head office want to come here.

Then Eiko Nakayama told Andrew about the rumors about angels for a while, and then the bus arrived outside a twenty-story hotel and stopped.

"Welcome." The doorman greeted Hideko Nakayama and Archbishop Andrew as they stepped off the bus. Then he took the initiative and reached out to pick up the box in the hands of a knight behind Andrew.

However, at this moment, the knight turned his head sharply and looked at the doorman with warning in his eyes.

Who is the knight, and who is the doorman, so the doorman was immediately shocked by the knight's sharp and oppressive gaze, and sat down on the ground with his legs weak.

"Are you okay?" Archbishop Andrew extended his hand in a friendly manner and said to the doorman who was still a little confused.

"No, it's okay." The doorman quickly shook his head and said, then climbed up and, no longer carrying the other person's box attentively, led Archbishop Andrew and his entourage into the wine hall with trembling legs. It was not until they arrived at the front desk that they seemed to run away. ran out of the hall.

At this time, Nakayama Eiko struck up a conversation with the service staff at the front desk and reported the room number that she had booked through the Internet. Then he took the key and took Andrew and others up the stairs in the elevator.

"This is it." Nakayama Eiko said as she opened the door of a presidential suite with the concierge key and stood aside to get out of the way.

Archbishop Andrew nodded and entered the suite together with Archbishop Mark and his knights.

"Okay, you go down and rest first." Archbishop Andrew turned and said to Nakayama Hideko on the side.

"Okay." Whether it was due to the irresistible emotion in her heart or her eyesight as a public relations manager, Nakayama Eiko, who knew that she was not suitable to stay, agreed immediately. Then he handed the door key in his hand to one of the female knights, turned around and left the suite, and closed the door again.

"Bang!" The door and door frame closed tightly.

Seeing Nakayama Eiko leaving, Archbishop Andrew nodded to Archbishop Mark. The latter didn't say much when he saw this, and immediately mobilized the strength and mental power in his body to release a milky white light shield that quickly spread throughout the room.

Then the light shield flashed slightly and disappeared into the air like an illusion.

"Light Barrier" is a protective energy barrier that can shield breath, cut off sound, explore and expel evil, and has a certain degree of defense and hidden functions.

"It seems that our plan is going to change." Archbishop Andrew looked at Archbishop Mark and said.

"I don't think it's necessary. Although the expected angel has disappeared, it has no impact on our mission. It just caused some deviations in the part I was originally responsible for. You can continue to follow the plan when you came. Good plan, go see the Eastern legend named Ito Cheng." Archbishop Mark shook his head and rejected.

"Just judging from the information I have now, I am not optimistic about the recruitment plan."

"Yes, no legend would choose to succumb to others unless they are at the end of their rope." Archbishop Andrew smiled bitterly, "It's just that since the Pope has issued such an order, even if we know that it is impossible to succeed, we still have to go try it."

"Then I can only wish you to be careful. After all, although you have the powerful power given by the Pope, before you activate that power, you are still only an archbishop-level master, not a legend." Archbishop Mark shrugged.

The so-called archbishop level is the S level in the international general level. The legend above it is the pope, the archbishop level below it is the level B, the bishop level is the B level, and the assistant bishops and priests below are the peace level. .

Of course, this is only a rough approximation. Because of the different titles of specific positions in the church, sometimes one level will have several titles.

For example, a cardinal who is also an S-class, apart from having more power than a simple archbishop, his strength is not necessarily higher than that of a bishop. Maybe he just masters more secrets. After all, the power and status are sometimes the same. It means you can get welfare benefits, right?

"Don't worry, Mark, I will cherish my life. The Lord still needs me to shepherd the lambs for Him, especially when that day is coming." Archbishop Andrew smiled after hearing this.

But when Archbishop Mark heard the words "that day", he couldn't help but have a gloomy look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Archbishop Andrew stood up, leaned over and patted Mark on the shoulder, comforting him. Then he straightened up, walked to the box that stood aside and was protected by two guardian knights, leaned over and encouraged the energy in his body to activate the spell on the box, opened the box, and then pulled out a scroll that looked very good from the inside. He took out the ancient parchment roll and put it into his arms. (To be continued...)
