Ember Gun

  Chapter 170 Destiny's Credit

  It may be an anxiety in his heart. Lorenzo did not notice the peeping behind him. He walked among the steel barriers, his steps hurried, his thoughts flew.

  At this moment, the balance of death is slowly rising in Lorenzo's mind, with Master Lawrence on one side and Lorenzo himself on the other.

  He was thinking about each other's strengths and weaknesses.

  Master Lawrence possesses the Holy Grail, can predict the future Shangda’s power, the power to shuttle through the [interval], and the group of demons made by inferior secret blood.

  Lorenzo possesses the power of Watson and Medanzo as the false Holy Grail, as well as the assistance of the decontamination agency.

  Although Old Dunling is Lorenzo’s home court, they are very passive. Master Lawrence doesn’t know when they will come out of the darkness, even saying... he’s here now.

  Lorenzo lowered his head, thinking this time has never been difficult, perhaps because of this, he did not even realize the oncoming Kestrel.

   "Lorenzo!"

   Kestrel shouted, he noticed Lorenzo's anomaly.

"what happened?"

  Lorenzo raised his head and frowned.

   "I happen to be looking for you. This is a weapon specially made for you, which can save the consumption of Holy Silver to the greatest extent."

  Kestrel talked about the iron box he handed out. This was the requirement of Lorenzo's application. He found that his nails were worn out too quickly.

  Lorenzo reached out and took the box, heavy.

  He was a little surprised. He didn't expect the production to be so fast, but he was also expected. With the mature production line and industrial level of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, it was surprising that they could not do it.

Lorenzo was not in a hurry to open the box, and there was still work to do next. He marched side by side with the Kestrel and came to another conference room. Here, a plan of battle will be planned, but in order to ensure that it is not because of the weirdness of Master Lawrence. [Gap] Shuttle and leak, only discussing part of the plan, only Lorenzo and Arthur know the whole picture.

  But it seems that the two arrived a bit early, only Lorenzo and Kestrel arrived.

   So Lorenzo directly opened the box here. He was a little curious about what weapon they would make for himself. After all, judging by the size of this box, it couldn't hold a weapon as long as a sword.

"what is this?"

  Lorenzo took up the weapon in the box. It was a slightly longer hilt. There was no blade at all. There were some complicated dents on the hilt, which seemed to be openable.

   What's more peculiar is that this thing is very heavy, it seems to be made of special metal, it is very difficult for ordinary people to hold it, and the demon hunter is easy to use.

   "Folding knife."

  Kestrel said that he had taken a weapon, this thing was too heavy for him to die.

   "Clean the standard weapons in the agency, but we made a special improvement for you."

  Blue Jade’s best weapon is this. It is highly concealed. It is hidden under the clothes, and it is difficult for ordinary people to observe the existence of this weapon.

The Kestrel said that it squeezed a certain mechanism. With the hand shake, the handle broke open, and the second piece of metal popped out. After the handle was closed, the third piece of metal in the second piece of metal also popped out. In a blink of an eye the knife was folded. The length has been stretched three times.

  After the unfolding is completed, with the light sound of the metal, there is a mechanical seizure inside the structure, which fixes the whole of the folding knife.

   "Considering the high-intensity battle of the Demon Hunter, we used a stronger metal casting, of course, the price is the increase in weight, and in order to save the holy silver, we only plated the holy silver on the part of the knife."

  Kestrel showed Lorenzo this weapon, which can be called a handicraft. The blade is engraved with delicate patterns, and the three metal patterns are combined, like a surging ocean wave.

  Lorenzo has heard of these human hobbies, even if it is a weapon for killing people, he must be elegant enough.

  This is what Nikolai said to himself.

  He asked Lorenzo if he had ever thought about it, when everyone was dead, and someone discovered all this hundreds of years later, what would those people think at that time.

  At first, Lorenzo still didn't understand Nicola's words, and then the scholar explained to Lorenzo.

  When hundreds of years later, the demons may have been eradicated, or the cleansing mechanism may no longer exist, and even Inverwege may have perished.

  If there were still people at that time, what would they think when they discovered the history of the eradication of institutions?

  Do they mistake us for the gods in mythology? Holding an exquisite weapon to fight with the demon.

  Just like those foolish people who think it will rain if they kneel down, will there be people worshiping us in the future?

  Nikolai’s sick face smiled really ugly. He said that for such a future, things have to be made with a mythical touch.

   "Of course, the main thing is concealment and portability, and these."

  Kestrel motioned Lorenzo to look inside the box. There were several blades plated with holy silver, with the same fine workmanship and fine patterns carved on them.

   "If it is damaged in battle and you still have time, you can replace the blade yourself. If you don't need it, you can still throw it away as a throwing knife."

  Lorenzo took it over and played, and waved it casually. The heavy pocket knife was as light as a feather in his hand, leaving a pale shadow in the air, and finally steadily retracted his hand.

  It is indeed very easy to hide, and the weight is heavier than the nail sword.

   "Is this the art of machinery?"

   Put away the folding knife and hide it under the clothes. It can't be seen at all. It is much better to hide than the sword.

   "It's just the art of killing."

  Kestrel shook his head, then sat on a chair.

   "I really envy the power of your demon hunters, I feel tired when I wave them."

  He sighed. In Lorenzo's hand, the jackknife seemed to have no weight.

  This reminded him of Ende Town’s actions. He fell and lay in the hospital for almost half a month, while Lorenzo suffered so many injuries, slept, and jumped alive the next day.

  I heard from Arthur that the life span of a witcher is also ridiculously long. If there is no accident, it will not be a problem to live to two hundred years old.

  I really envy you.

  "This is not a good thing, Kestrel."

  Lorenzo seemed to be used to such gazes, envious and eager gazes.

  Kestrel didn't know what the price would be. He looked at the Kestrel and asked seriously.

   "Do you think I am still a human being?"

  This question was a bit sudden, Kestrel was taken aback, and his appearance was reflected in his gray-blue eyes, as if he was facing himself.

"people?"

  Lorenzo nodded, and put away all the knife heads in the box. They were neatly inserted in the knife bag.

  "Do you think a wild dog that runs faster than a train and can even crush steel, or a wild dog?"

   Very strange description, Kestrel said in a daze.

   "That's... a monster, right?"

  That kind of thing shouldn’t be a wild dog anymore.

  Lorenzo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued to speak.

   "Then someone who can tear demons by hand and live longer than everyone else, is he still a human?"

  Kestrel was stunned. He didn't know what to say for a while, and explained with hindsight.

"I did not mean that."

   "It's okay, in fact, these are very good comparisons."

  Lorenzo said lightly.

   "There was a saying in the order that only demons can kill demons."

  The mortal stole the forbidden power and drank the sinful blood, so the hot secret blood surged in the body, and the cold silver binding bolt imprisoned everything.

  Want to kill the monster, then become the monster.

   "Join if you can't beat..."

  Lorenzo was talking bad words, equipped all the weapons, and the generous clothes could block them all.

   "So many things come at a price, but it's not until you pay the price..."

  Lorenzo thought for a while, and said with a slight smile.

   "It's fate's credit."

  It was a strange feeling, Kestrel suddenly felt that he...a little sympathetic to Lorenzo.

   Even though it was a kind of ridicule from the heart, how could he sympathize with Lorenzo? This is a peerless fierce man who can drive unparalleled among monsters, and put it on the ceiling of human combat power in human society. Even if he ate and slept, he could live longer than everyone else.

  But it's just... Suddenly there is a feeling of sadness.

  "After this event is over, if you are interested, you can go to the Pump of Perpetual Motion. They always have some weapons in the experimental state, which cannot be mass-produced for various reasons, but it is still possible to arm a few people."

  Kestrel tried to say something else.

  There can be hundreds of methods to kill targets, but in fact only a few can be applied to the battlefield.

   "I think I will."

  Lorenzo also sat on the other side, footsteps came from outside the door, and it looked like everyone was going to be there.

  But just before that footstep was about to reach the door, a strange noise suddenly sounded.

  It seemed that someone had fallen. The Kestrel didn't care, but Lorenzo seemed to feel something. He rushed out of the meeting room, and at the door of the meeting room, a soldier was facing backwards.

  At this moment, Lorenzo was in a state of extreme vigilance, and could not let go of any abnormalities.

"what happened?"

  Kestrel also followed after seeing this, and Lorenzo was half kneeling on the ground, trying to lift the soldier up.

   "Wake up!"

  Lorenzo patted the soldier on the cheek, trying to wake him up, but he closed his eyes tightly and seemed to pass out in a coma.

   Suddenly a strange feeling came from his hand. It was a bit hard and seemed to be metal. Lorenzo took it out of the back of the soldier's neck and stained it with a little bit of blood.

  "This is...your so-called ‘insurance’ right?"

   Lorenzo asked vigilantly, and then slowly raised his hand, allowing Kestrel to see the thing clearly.

  A burnt nerve electrode with blood stains on it. This is a safety device often used by cleaning agencies. When the human body is corroded to a certain degree, it will be excited by itself and release current.

  But now it has been activated.

   "He was eroded..."

   "But this is the Academy of Mechanical Engineering!"

  Kestrel said in disbelief.

   "Yes, for ghostly enemies, what use is a tight fortress?"

  It is an invisible enemy, wandering between the gaps of consciousness.

  Lorenzo stood up, his eyes solemn.

   "Notify Arthur that Master Lawrence has arrived, plan ahead!"
