Ember Gun

  Chapter 384 Golden Dawn

   "An invisible force, it is everywhere, limiting our understanding of the world... I have also told Merlin about this thing, and I think it can be called [boundary]."

  Following Lorenzo's words, the warm hall also seemed cold and quiet, and Arthur noticed a little anxiety, as if something weird was about to come.

  "Think carefully, everybody, is this the case? It is clear that human beings have existed for so long, but we only have a record of the past few years. So what were we doing before this, and what were the demons doing?"

  Lorenzo began his speech.

"Arthur, Your Majesty, you Inervig has fought against demons for so long, but have you ever thought about such a thing? The demons we hunt are essentially demonized by humans. Monsters, that is to say, we humans have been fighting with another group of humans for thousands of years when we have been fighting against demons."

  This is a terrible truth.

   "Another group of demonized humans is fighting. This continues the hatred for an unknown period of time. Fundamentally, it is just a civil war of humans."

  Everything fell silent, only Lorenzo's voice continued to echo.

"In fact, all this is like a plague, but this disease does not kill humans, but turns humans into monsters called demons. Then, where is the source of all this? What about the [Patient Zero] that caused all this? ?"

   "[Holy Grail]."

  Arthur said in a deep voice, this was the information Lorenzo had given, and the Gospel Church had captured the source of the demon, the existence named [Holy Grail].

"No, this is a lie, Lorenzo Medici's lie," Lorenzo directly rejected, "We were all deceived by him. We still don't know the source of all this, and the so-called [Holy Grail] ] It’s just another more terrifying monster."

  "As for the pseudo-Holy Grail...

Please forgive me, Arthur, and Your Majesty. Please forgive me for explaining all this in such a concealed way. You should also be clear that erosion is memetic, and it can carry all the information that can be carried. 'The medium of spreading, maybe when I say all this, you will be eroded by the information that my words carry. "

   Arthur's expression became gloomy, he realized the tricky things, and sure enough, this kind of thing could not be carried out so rashly, and this is the platinum palace, Queen Victoria is not far in front of Lorenzo.

   "Let’s stop here today!"

   Arthur suggested that he was very vigilant. Once Lorenzo's words were true, and once this information caused erosion, inexplicable terror would directly descend on this platinum palace.

   "No, go ahead, Mr. Holmes."

  The queen still has that peaceful smile, it seems that nothing can shake her mind.

"But……"

  Arthur wanted to explain the potential crisis, but then the queen interrupted him.

  "The decontamination agency was directly appointed and established by the Victorian royal family. I know the horror of monsters better than you, so don't worry about me."

  Seeing that the queen was so persistent, Arthur couldn't say anything more, and Lorenzo continued.

"The Gospel Church used the [Holy Grail] to develop the [False Holy Grail]. No... to be precise, it understands the [False Holy Grail], and the [False Holy Grail] is essentially a piece of information about the [Border]. This name is nothing more than It's just misleading to cover people's ears.

  About [Border], we can roughly understand it as an early warning system. "

  "Early warning system?"

"Yes, once someone has a deep understanding of demons and understands those parts that are deliberately concealed, it seems to trigger this warning. Those hidden monsters... You can understand it as [Holy Grail], those temporarily The monsters called the "Holy Grail" will eradicate those insiders and annihilate them with all their intelligence."

  Following Lorenzo's narration, Arthur fell silent again, his eyes trembled slightly, because of Lorenzo's narration, that long memory was also recalled at this time.

  "Red News Incident..."

"What did you say?"

  Lorenzo heard Arthur's whisper and asked curiously.

"The Red News incident, a demonic invasion broke out in the Pump of Perpetual Motion more than ten years ago. We don't know where the demons came from. In short, they just appeared underground out of thin air and destroyed everything at the time. We will take this incident. Call it a red news, and there has been no progress in the investigation of the incident afterwards."

   Arthur recalled the event that caused heavy damage to the cleansing mechanism, as if returning to the time again, his body felt endless cold.

  "As you describe, no information can be kept, and all the parties involved have gone crazy due to erosion. No matter how hard we try, all this is just a blank.

But……"

  Arthur turned his words and looked at Lorenzo who stood up.

   "Lorenzo, this is what I am going to investigate next, so I might as well say it now.

During the local war at the Black Mountain Hospital, Knight Commander Mordred briefly awakened. He was the personal experience of the Red News incident. He said that during the period of his erosion, he was like being trapped in... [Gap] middle. "

  Lorenzo listened carefully to Arthur’s words. He just wanted to use the existing intelligence to weave a lie that could convince the decontamination agency, but he never thought that he had lied out more information.

   "Go on," he said.

"Perhaps, all the people who have been eroded have their consciousness trapped in the [Gap]. Of course, this is not the focus of the discussion. The point is, through him, I finally learned about the Red News incident, the inner pump of perpetual motion Do something."

   Arthur's gaze then turned to the queen at the other end of the long table. She had always looked calm, as if everything was under control.

  "Merlin, who was appointed as William, secretly conducted some kind of experiment. Through Mordred's intelligence, William said that he had found [the truth]."

  Everything fell silent, and Lorenzo's expression gradually became serious. He was very clear about the importance of the word [truth]. This is what all alchemists have pursued throughout their lives, for which they can dedicate everything in their lives.

  "The red news incident immediately followed...Wait a minute, it looks like Lorenzo, it all looks like..."

   Arthur seemed to think of something. He looked at Lorenzo, and the message conveyed in his eyes also caught Lorenzo's thoughts. He opened his mouth slightly and said in a ghostly manner.

   "Holy Pro Night."

  They are so similar. They conduct some research on the unknown, and then the disaster erupts, all the insiders die, and the secret is buried permanently.

"And this is what I want to say, Arthur, the [False Holy Grail] is information about the causes of these things. Once we cross the [Border], it will cause disasters. This is the case with the Red News incident. It's the same at night."

  Lorenzo’s voice trembled a bit, and the content of Shermans’ notes was confirmed. Just as he said, there are always people who are better than himself, who can discover this by himself. Why are those people not good?

  In fact, they found out, but they all died because of [The Silent One].

  How long has this situation lasted, and how long has this force named [Border] limited human cognition.

  Lorenzo suddenly didn’t dare to think about it. [The Silent] was like trying to do something. If they were conscious, what secrets they were guarding, and...

What kind of connection does Gabriel have with them?

  "Is this...it seems that we need to be cautious in our future research. However, the Protestant Mission is also not sure what weapons they have been chasing, but these secret information?" Arthur asked.

"This is natural, as I said, the insiders are dead... Regarding this, I have a note to prove it, and I will hand it to you later, but be careful, the power of [Border] Like sharp swords hanging over our heads, they will fall at some point... They supervise everyone."

  Lorenzo sighed and sat down a little tired.

He did not know whether he was right or wrong in doing this. This did cover the existence of Watson, but at the same time, he was also worried that even if Arthur knew the information, no one knew the bottom line of [Border] was. Where, perhaps a certain study of demons will once again lead to those nightmares.

  No... more than that.

Lorenzo suddenly felt a winter-like chill. As long as the [Border] still exists, humans are destined to be unable to understand the full picture of the monsters and find the root of the epidemic. Similarly, this is a dead end. The closer they are to the truth, they will be Death is approaching.

  This is an extremely perfect protection measure, which isolates the root cause from the world’s cognition.

Why?

  Why the world is so distorted.

  Lorenzo thought so, he looked towards the end of the long table, but that was a scene that made him feel even more terrifying.

  There are no monsters and no spooky pictures. Queen Victoria is still sitting there quietly, listening to the conversation between Lorenzo and Arthur.

  About [Border], this is a terrible fact. Perhaps from this information, we can understand the roots of many unsolved mysteries in history, the countries that suddenly disappeared, the groups that suddenly died...

  This information is enough to make many people crazy. Even though Lorenzo has already understood it, when he looks back again, he will be frightened by this curse-like nature, let alone Arthur who just learned about it.

They were all trembling because of the unknown in front of them, but Queen Victoria was different. She still had the kind smile and calm look. It seemed that all of Lorenzo's words could not touch her mind. All this was for her. , It is no different from ordinary intelligence.

Like a grim sculpture, Lorenzo thought at first that she might want to maintain her dignity as a queen and contain her emotions, but that is not the case. Lorenzo can feel that she has no emotional fluctuations at all. As if... as if she knew everything was like this a long time ago.

  Queen Victoria is also aware of the existence of [Border].

  Yes, that can make sense. After all, the cleansing mechanism was established by them, and because of the weird nature of [The Silent], she deliberately concealed this information, and she had a corresponding reason.

[The Silent] is so weird, when you realize their existence, they will also realize your existence. Lorenzo is sure that he has been exposed to [The Silent]’s vision, and even said that he has already suffered When it came to their attack, it was only due to various factors, and I didn't notice it.

  What is going on with all this?

   Thoughts ran in his mind, but on the surface, Lorenzo still had the slightly shocked look just now. He concealed it very well and was perfect.

  The intelligence was integrated one by one, and the mystery of Inervig was at hand.

   "Then I have finished explaining, Your Majesty, correspondingly, I also have a lot of questions for you."

   was calling your Majesty, but Lorenzo’s words were rude. He looked at the queen at the end of the long table. About these events, they were recalled in his mind one by one.

   "What do you want to ask? Mr. Holmes."

  The queen's voice is calm.

  "About Wang Chua, what is it, and where did it come from."

  Lorenzo looked serious, and the secret blood was about to move in his body. He suddenly had a new idea. He wanted to do this, but he didn't know what would happen if he did it.

  The atmosphere fell silent again, and Arthur did not know much about the curse than Lorenzo. After all, this was a disease of the royal family and related to the rule of the royal power.

  The queen's silence didn't last long, she still had that **** smile.

  "The King's Curse.

  This will be a very long story, and also a very secret story. If possible, I hope this secret can be buried in the platinum palace forever..."

  Lorenzo became slightly nervous, he could read the threat from it.

  "But it’s not the past, it’s a new era, the roar of machinery, and human civilization strides forward. These decadent relics should also be abandoned and forgotten."

  The queen raised her hand again, looking at her pale skin, the blood vessels under it were like a red spider web, covering the flesh and blood.

  "This is a blessing and a curse."

  She let out a burst of cheerful laughter.

  "Mr. Lorenzo Holmos, have you ever wondered how Inverwege emerged?"

  Lorenzo was stunned. He knew this kind of thing very well, and many people knew it well. This kind of thing was written in history books, and it was not a problem at all, but after the stunned, Lorenzo realized something.

  History is written by the victor. Under a history that can be shown to everyone, there must be another history in the shadow.

  In the shadow of Inervig, what is hiding?

  "This is a...somewhat complicated story, but fortunately, I have a lot of time today, and there are only us here."

  The queen continued.

  "Do you know? In fact, the Victoria family is an alchemy family. Of course, this is a long time ago."

  All breathing stopped for an instant, not only Lorenzo, but also Arthur.

"What's more, long, long ago, the alchemists were not as you know. They were fighting each other and chasing [the truth]. At first, we also had a sufficiently united group, but unfortunately, it was later Split.

  And this is the story of the first alchemists, about...

  The story of the golden dawn. "

  The broken sunlight passed through the gloomy clouds and fell into this brilliant platinum palace. Under the reflection of the gold, the three of them were in the radiance.
