Ember Gun

  Chapter 461 Ending

  The light from the sky pulled the shadow extremely long and thin, like a sharp knife, cutting everything into countless pieces. They were scattered all over the place, and Gloria stepped on it at will.

   She rubbed her eye sockets, trying to avoid showing her fragile side as much as possible, her steps were light and there was no sound, and she easily avoided the guards on patrol, like a wind that could not be caught.

  "Are you leaving?"

   A voice rang, breaking the peace. Gloria turned her head, but saw a familiar figure looking at herself not far away, with a bag in his hand, and a look of exhaustion and sadness.

  She felt that few people could see through her concealment, but it was clear that these were of no use to this guy, maybe he realized his existence from a few tens of meters away.

   "Mr. Holmes."

  Gloria stopped her pace and said to him with a smile. She didn't expect that she would meet Lorenzo again in the end, and Gloria thought she would never see him again.

   "Yeah, I should leave too." Gloria answered Lorenzo's words.

   "So where are you going?"

   Lorenzo asked, he walked over and stood beside Gloria. They were leaning against the railing. Behind the stairs below is the warm garden, and the wind blows by and brings a sweet fragrance.

   "I don't know, I don't know where I should go, I can't stop, right."

   "Is that so, but leaving without a word is too cruel."

  Lorenzo said and looked at the building on the side. He remembered that behind a certain window was the Kestrel’s room.

   "I have a good farewell, I can still do this."

  Gloria seemed to know what Lorenzo was thinking, she also looked there and answered with a smile.

  The conversation between the two fell into a short silence, and Lorenzo asked tentatively after the silence.

   "In fact, you can stay. Kestrel seems to like you quite a bit."

   "What about Yvar?"

   Gloria asked directly, looking at Lorenzo, her smile slowly turned helpless.

  "A lot of things are like this. Although they are excellent solutions, even if you or other people don’t care, I can’t. I can’t care less. These things keep ringing in my ears like alarm bells.

  Sometimes I can always see my hands full of blood, and the dead dig up the soil and crawl out of the burning hell. They drag me and take me into the darkness. "

  Gloria’s voice was a little frightened, and she wanted to stay, but she couldn’t.

   "So... what do you think? Are you afraid of the judgment of the dead, find a reason for yourself, or say something else."

  Lorenzo's tone changed slightly, he was like a mentor considering his apprentice.

"How is it possible? You will be punished if you do something wrong, whether there is a **** in this world or not," Gloria said and lowered her head. "I can't forgive myself yet. I'm going to find one. The way to redeem myself, maybe everything will be better after this, no matter whether I can be redeemed or not, at least I have tried it."

   "Then what are you going to do?"

   Lorenzo asked, looking at Gloria.

"I don’t know yet. The worst thing is this. If I want to be punished, I’m willing to bear it. But before all this comes, I want to live for something greater, but I don’t know what that thing is. What, I don’t know what to do... Maybe I can start living a good life."

  Gloria seemed very troubled. Her words were sincere, which made Lorenzo's eyes softer.

  The atmosphere became a little more harmonious, and Gloria raised her head and looked at Lorenzo's eyes. Her gray-blue eyes were like a calm sea of ​​ice, under which was deep darkness.

   "If my answer is not satisfactory to you, are you going to kill me?"

  Lorenzo did not deny, he replied.

   "Have thoughts like this, but it has nothing to do with your answer."

  Gloria guessed what it was, she didn’t know if it was an honor or bad luck.

  "Because I have seen your [Gap], I know too much, right? I still understand these. Anyway, I was also a member of the Iron Law Bureau before."

  Lorenzo nodded, without saying much.

   "Then I am still alive. Did you give up killing me? Can I know the reason?" Gloria asked.

  The words paused, and Lorenzo thought carefully.

   "How do you say, everyone has very few friends. It is so boring to kill you for this reason, and it feels good to think that there may be someone in this world who really knows yourself."

  Lorenzo turned to support on the railing and looked down at the garden below. When he was here not long ago, he often played cards with Eve Kestrel.

  Gloria was taken aback, then couldn't help laughing.

   "Is it because of this reason?"

"if not?"

"Eileen...no, Gloria, I think everyone should have a second chance, a chance to come over again. This will not wash away the wrong things you have done, the evil deeds you committed, but This can give you a little more value from your cheap life, and you will feel more at ease even when you are punished at the end."

  Lorenzo turned his head and said solemnly.

   "Then you will be punished? Mr. Holmes."

   "Of course, we are all wicked, and the wicked are destined to be punished, even for the sake of justice."

  Lorenzo said as he put his hand into the bag, and finally turned out a stack of photos and handed it to Gloria.

   "Header Lennet mailed us. This guy unexpectedly survived the disaster."

  Gloria took the photo, with familiar faces on it.

   "So this is why you are coming back this time?"

  "More than that. Gloria, if you really don’t know what to do and where to go, I can give you a suggestion."

  Lorenzo pointed to the back of Gloria's photo.

  "You can follow the address to take a look there, maybe the way of salvation is in it."

  Gloria turned the photo over, and a line of address had been written on it, and she looked at Lorenzo somewhat unexpectedly.

   "Have you guessed this a long time ago?"

   "Because I am the one who knows you best."

  Lorenzo waved his hand and said goodbye to Gloria with a smile.

   "Then, goodbye."

Without any hypocritical words, Lorenzo said goodbye to her calmly, and soon disappeared from sight. Gloria looked at the photo in her hand, and her depressed mood had slight ups and downs. Perhaps her path was right there. here.

  ……

   Pushed the door open. As expected, Kestrel was sitting on the bed. He was like a patient in a trance. After seeing Lorenzo, the lost soul returned to the shell.

   "Lo... Lorenzo? Why are you back?"

  Lorenzo walked to the bed and sat down casually.

  "Why can't I come back...what about the others?"

  Listening to Lorenzo, Kestrel still felt a little strange.

"Leaving, Hybold is going to return to the Viking countries to report on the situation, and Eve is also allowed to be discharged," Kestrel said and looked to the side Hercules. "This guy has not changed much from before. Luo spoke, I thought he was too noisy, so I let him sleep for a while."

   "Is that? It's not a good thing for me to come back. I'm here to take you away. Arthur thinks you have rested for too long. Even if the injury is not healed, it's okay to do a clerical job, right?"

  Lorenzo said while flipping the bag.

"The situation is very serious now. The things we did at the port of Maruri have been deemed as terrorist attacks. Now it is just that we did not name the official Gallunaro. As for all the evidence on our side, we are ready to wait. With a word from those big men, the war will start."

  Lorenzo said that he also felt a headache.

"What's worse is the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church has established their new pope, and that new Pope is Lawrence. Now this lunatic has officially stepped out of the background, and the death of Miguel has also aroused the anger of the Orthodox believers... these behaviors are even more weird. This is the response of the Gospel Church. It stands to reason that they have received the news, but Qiqiu Zhisuo did not make any statement."

  The more I talk about it, the more headaches I get. The whole world is like pressing the accelerator key, marching like crazy, intensifying all the contradictions, mixing interests and conspiracies, and finally turning into a raging fire.

  The thing that worries Lorenzo more is not the arrival of this war. He has been having nightmares these days. He has seen countless demons emerge and conquer one city after another until the glow of mankind is completely annihilated.

  That was the end that Lawrence saw.

  After finishing this, Lorenzo looked at the Kestrel who was aside. This guy had a dull face, as if he hadn't heard his words at all.

   "That's right! Irene also left, she... she..."

  Sure enough! This guy did not listen to his own words at all, he has been immersed in his own world.

  Kestrel's words were a bit messy for a while, and he didn't know how to say that kind of weird feeling.

   "She suddenly said a bunch of inexplicable things, and then left. She is a criminal! This is not a prison break! It is not right, this is not a prison."

  Kestrel’s brain capacity obviously cannot support his thinking about such a complicated matter, and his words completely lose logic.

   "She still asked me to call her Gloria... is she called Gloria?"

  Kestrel asked Lorenzo.

  Lorenzo shook his head, his eyes a little helpless and pity.

"Who knows? That woman is like a cloud of gray smoke, Hybold said, no one knows her real name... Maybe Gloria is her real name, Irene is just a disguise? You should ask her personally about this kind of thing."

  Actually, Lorenzo knew it, but he felt that he didn’t need to explain this to the Kestrel. The answer to this question was not important.

   "Is this..."

  For some reason, the strange emotions increased, and the Kestrel couldn't help but think of the pretty good afternoon.

  As if something had been touched in his heart, he suddenly woke up.

   "If you say...Gloria is her real name, she didn't lie to me that afternoon, did she? It's just that two groups of people met in hell?"

Kestrel’s words squatted, and suddenly everything seemed to become smooth. He was caught off guard for a while. Looking at it this way, Gloria didn’t lie to herself. That pretty good afternoon was true. At that time Gloria is also real, this is not a conspiracy or trick, this is just the right afternoon...

   "I don't know, you have to ask her yourself."

  Lorenzo repeated what he said before.

   "Yes, ask her personally... but she left, Lorenzo."

  Kestrel’s expression became horrified again, and he remembered what Gloria had said to him before.

The meeting and parting of people are always wonderful. You don’t know what you will meet in a ghost place, and you don’t know what you will be separated from her at a beautiful moment. Maybe if you look at it at random, it will be you. See her for the last time.

  That’s why Gloria looked at herself like that. She was leaving and might never meet again. That’s why she looked at herself with that look, as if she had to remember forever.

   "You look terrible."

  Lorenzo looked at the lonely Kestrel. Although he had expected it, he really saw the Kestrel like this...It can’t be said to be very interesting, it can only be said to be very complicated.

  Probably this is a person.

   "Actually, I was thinking. Gloria said that she liked "Falcon Under the Night" very much. I think we are very similar to the people in the story. Would she like me too?"

  Kestrel began to understand this strange emotion, but it was a pity that it was too late.

   "You have to ask her yourself, I don't know."

  Lorenzo repeated this sentence again, and then passed the photo.

  "One per person, I hope you don’t lose it."

  Kestrel took the photo, which was a group photo at the time. Seeing these, he raised a little spirit, which is not the last side.

   "Gloria, are you really so elusive..."

  He whispered.

   "I know you guys have a lot of complaints, but I still think that compared to those things, let's get past what will happen next."

  Lorenzo walked to Kestrel's side and sat with him.

  "You know, you have not retired yet, Kestrel, you still have a mission to fulfill."

   patted the Kestrel on the shoulder vigorously, and he continued.

   "War is coming, and each of us is just. You can only ask her if you survive."

  Lorenzo thought about the future, a terrible future.

"Then what are you going to do next? Lorenzo, you are aware of all these conspiracies and found yourself being used. I think you are already full of anger now, maybe you will be killed in the Platinum Palace tomorrow and burst into a single shot. Drop the queen's head."

  Kestrel asked blankly and without emotion.

  Lorenzo smiled and shook his head, he said.

   "Next? You may not believe it. I want to...save the world. After saving the world, you don't need a knight. You will retire, then go to her and ask her yourself."

"save the world?"

   "Yes, save the world."

  ……

  With the sound of the siren, the train slowly drove away from the city. After the water vapor dissipated, the woman came to the remote countryside. Not far away there was a bell ringing. After the scattered buildings, the children ran through the grass and fields.

  This is a wonderful world, and it is worth saving.
