Chapter 910 Riveria and London
After giving Riveria a short tour around London, Le Fay led her to an inconspicuous corner of the city.
Riveria was still in the afterglow of admiring the city when she came to realize that their surrounding area was filled with Magic Power. That realization made her alert as she watched her surroundings more carefully. A rural area filled with unkempt flora and almost ruined buildings, 'Even though it's a secret society, is it wise to put an entrance in a place like this?'
Le Fay glanced at her and guessed what she was thinking, "Are you wondering why the entrance is around here out in open, Riveria-sama?"
Riveria hesitated for a bit before nodding, 'If people are coming and going, there's no better place than placing it where a lot of people are. Unless that organization wasn't 'good' enough to get a spot in the city.'
"Truth be told, we're using a backdoor that only those of a certain rank would know." Le Fay immediately turned around to explain and avoid a misunderstanding, "But not because of you, Riveria-sama. You see, I have a bit of history that would make law enforcers chase after me. Although that issue has already been resolved, it still doesn't look good for the organization to be openly involved with me due to politics that I'm neither motivated enough to get involved in nor understand."
Riveria shook his head, "It's fine. Since Kisuke trusts you, I want to do the same. I'm just curious about this kind of setup. I'm more surprised that a sweet girl like you managed to get into that kind of situation."
Le Fay became embarrassed and scratched her cheek, "Ehehe, I'm not that good, Riveria-sama. I did a fair share of troublesome things and I'm not going to shrink my responsibility in that." She turned around again and resumed leading and just for a second, Riveria saw a sad smile flash by on her face.
Unknown to Riveria, despite all of the wrongs she did, Le Fay never regretted leaving the Golden Dawn and following her brother to Vali.
Soon, they arrived at an abandoned church and Le Fay stopped in her tracks with a serious expression, "Riveria-sama. Please stay close to me."
Riveria didn't say anything and stayed within an arm's length of Le Fay.
As soon as they entered the abandoned church, a voice came from an unknown direction and echoed inside, "Halt! This is a restricted area! State your purpose!"
Le Fay frowned because she's familiar with the Magic they were using to amplify their voice and hide their aura, "Since when did the responsibility of guarding one of the entry points to the Order become a responsibility of the MI6?"
Along with her words was a counter Magic that disabled their veil, "!?"
After almost a minute of heavy silence, a short-haired blonde woman wearing a black suit and dark sunglasses came out of the shadows while gesturing to her comrades to retreat, "So it's Miss Pendragon. I sincerely apologize for what happened just now."
"Miss Cassandra... I never thought I'd see you here. Please explain why a secular organization is blocking an entrance to the Order." Although her tone was polite, there was a hint of threat in Le Fay's voice, not just because Riveria was with her, but also because this could be seen as an affront to the Golden Dawn's authority. Although she'd already left the organization, she was still loyal to the Order's vision and mission.
However, the MI6 agent didn't panic and calmly answered, "It seems that you were not informed. Last night, there was a directive from the higher ups to cooperate with the Golden Dawn to increase surveillance and security due to some sightings of Hell's agents and unknown Devils. Although MI6 is capable, we have no way of protecting the important people from the threat of the Alliance of Hell."
'The MI6's surveillance system is wide, but they don't have enough firepower when the threat comes from one of the large Factions.' Le Fay thought and could see her words were reasonable. But that doesn't mean she's letting her guard down, "Does that mean this entrance is blocked?"
Cassandra nodded, "Yes. Since the Mages of the Golden Dawn were sent out, there are very few people who can guard the place now. So we are here to inform the Golden Dawn of all those who would approach. But since you're a member of DxD, you have a special exception." Cassandra's eyes then drifted towards the green-haired Elf disguised as a Human, "But I would have to ask you to prove her identity if you want her to enter with you."
Le Fay turned to Riveria and whispered, "Please take that out."
Riveria nodded and took out a ceremonial dagger from her bag.
As soon as she laid her eyes on it, Cassandra's eyes widened and she immediately took off her dark sunglasses, revealing her deep blue eyes, "M-may I take a closer look?" For the first time, her voice cracked.
Le Fay stepped back and let Riveria step forward while holding the dagger.
Cassandra approached her with nervousness but she didn't dare touch the dagger and only looked closer in case it was the real thing, "Is this the Leviathan Dagger?"
"The only one." Le Fay answered, "You can also contact the Belial, Sitri, and Gremory Houses for its authenticity since Serafall-sama isn't available at the moment."
Cassandra stepped back and immediately shook her head, "I'd like to refrain from doing that." Cassandra fixed her posture before continuing while lowering her head slightly, "I'm Cassandra Taylor, a member of Secret Intelligence Service's Magic Corps. I'm very pleased to meet you, Devil King Serafall Leviathan's representative."
"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Cassandra. I'm Riveria Ljos Alf, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to tell you more about myself aside from that I'm Kisuke Urahara's Queen."
Cassandra was surprised but held back from saying anything else, "I'm sorry for taking too much of your time. Please go ahead."
Le Fay grabbed Riveria's free hand and led her to the inner sanctum of the church without saying their goodbyes to the MI6 agent. Within the sanctum, the density of Magic Power was noticeably higher than outside and in the middle of it was a large incomplete Magic Circle engraved on the marble floor.
It didn't take too long for Le Fay to complete and power up the Teleportation Magic and before Riveria knew it, they were standing at the edge of a small city filled with stone buildings. But what surprised her the most was the numerous floating islands with mansions or towers sitting on top of them. This breathtaking sight silenced Riveria as she slowly walked forward and looked around her.
"This is amazing"
"Isn't it~?" Le Fay chuckled, "But if you were to go to other large organizations or factions, floating islands aren't that rare."
Not long after, a black-haired woman came flying while riding a broom, "Lady Le Fay! I'm sorry that I'm late! Did you wait long?"
Le Fay waved her hand in greeting, "Elaine~! Don't worry about it. We've just arrived too."
