Ember Gun

  Chapter 463 Late Summer

   "So... did you experience all this during your'business trip' this time? It sounds pretty exciting."

  The curtains in the room were closed tightly. The afternoon sun could barely reflect the gray curtains into golden yellow. The dim light penetrated into the dimly yellow room. Seleu put down the newspaper and said after facing the smoke.

  "More than excitement, I am simply the best terrorist in the past ten years. Thanks to me, a world war sweeping the Western world is close at hand."

  Lorenzo, smoking a cigarette, sat in front of the workbench, and said with his back to Seleu.

  Although Lorenzo's expression seemed quite relaxed, his brows were frowned, like a scar that was difficult to heal.

A month and a half have passed since the night of misery. In this month and a half, the situation in the Western world has changed surgingly, and the exchanges between the Rhine League have become more frequent, and Inervig also announced the relationship with the Viking countries. The first batch of technicians supported by the united group set out for the Viking countries as early as a few weeks ago.

   "Wow, it sounds like you might be nailed to the post of shame in the books of later generations."

  Seleu sat on the sofa behind Lorenzo, all kinds of unwashed old clothes were piled up all around, and the desk in front of him was also full of empty express boxes, with flies flying on it from time to time.

  She looked down at the newspaper, her voice as cold as usual.

  This is a boring afternoon. During this boring time, Lorenzo will do some strange things to pass the time, such as making some weird things.

There is a delicate dagger on the workbench in front of you. It is covered by complicated patterns and decorations, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a slightly raised part on the ridge of the dagger. Covered in brass, connected to the position of the handle.

   "Shame column? I don't care much about this kind of thing, and it's still a question whether my name can be remembered."

  The demon hunter should hide in the dark, as did the knights who cleaned the mechanism. Lorenzo's voice paused for a while, and he continued.

   "But Her Majesty’s name must have been reserved. The **** used me and caused the war. No matter what the reason, this feeling of being used is really uncomfortable."

  Lorenzo said, hitting the dagger vigorously with a small hammer, inserting steel into it.

   "I really want to give her a knife."

  "Didn't you do this?"

  Seleu raised his head and asked somewhat unexpectedly.

   "When I heard about these things, I thought you would do it."

  Lorenzo shook his head, he said grumblingly.

"No, the first thing I did after I came back was to go to the Platinum Palace, but obviously my actions were guessed. Arthur stopped me on the street and said he would give me an answer...no, accurate Said that the queen would personally give me a satisfactory answer."

   "That's how you believed him?" Seleu asked.

   "Of course not, those guys can't stop me."

  Lorenzo added in his heart, "In every sense."

Lorenzo did it as early as the first meeting with Queen Victoria. He inspired the Secret Blood to cause erosion to spread. There is his beacon on the Queen's body. As long as Lorenzo wants to, he can invade the Queen's 【Gap ], hold her life and death in your hands.

  At that time, the angry Lorenzo did have such an idea, but such an idea only lasted for a short time, and he gave it up.

  In fact, Lorenzo could not say what it was like. He just felt that he could not do this and his power should not be abused, whether it was morality in his heart or something else.

  When he thinks of Mighty Gabriel, Lorenzo's mind will always show Lawrence's dark iron face, countless iron faces, and iron faces rising from the burning hell.

  This is an invitation to hell.

The fear and awe of Gabriel Gabriel are just one of the reasons. The other reason is the new news brought by Arthur. They reviewed the red news incident, and the doubts were resolved little by little, although Arthur was not sure. , But Lorenzo could smell the secret in his words.

Arthur said that the red news incident will have a new answer, and hope that this retrospective review of the demons can show their sincerity...In short, under various factors, Lorenzo temporarily gave up stabbing the queen, but the knife remained with him. In his hands, waiting for the right time.

  "You really shouldn't stabb her. The war is a foregone conclusion. If the queen is stabbed or even killed at this time, the war will break out in an instant. Gallunaro will not miss this opportunity."

   Seleuc said, according to her understanding, after the night of suffering, the situation in the Shiraito Strait became severe, and the armies of all parties were transferred there, just like the eve of the Glorious War.

   "A world war."

  Lorenzo sighed weakly. Every time he thought of this, Lorenzo could feel a wave of weakness. He might be able to change the course of a battle, but he could not reverse the trend of war.

  The sword can dominate people’s lives, but it cannot control people’s hearts.

   "You know a lot, you can analyze the situation?"

  Lorenzo turned his head, draped his hand on the back of the chair, and looked at Seleu behind him.

"The Viking nations announced the death of Ivar Rodbroke. He was held hostage by the Iron Law Bureau of Gallunaro and died in the port of Maruri. The Viking nations denounced Gallunaro's actions. , Gathering the army, preparing for war.

Gallunaro responded later. They pushed the night of misery to the Viking nations, claiming that it was a unilateral terrorist attack by the Viking nations, and it was just a blaming after the failure of the attack. Gao Lunaluo would never admit these and was willing to prepare for war. "

   Seleuc spoke and raised the newspaper.

   "I just read the newspaper often, and now the streets are full of news like this."

  "So what does this world war have to do with you? Is it to kill boredom by caring so much? If you dispel boredom, I recommend you to take a look at those knight novels. To be honest, they seem quite interesting."

  Lorenzo pointed to the bottom of the pile of old clothes, revealing a corner of the book.

   "How could this not have nothing to do with me? Lorenzo, not everyone is like you, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry."

  Seleu raised his head and looked at the miserable Winchester office.

There are dust and debris everywhere, old clothes and courier boxes are piled up in piles of small soil bags, how long will Van Rudev leave? This place has changed from the platinum palace to the lower city, and Lorenzo has nothing. Discomfort, judging by his proficiency in pulling out forks and knives from the clutter, he has adapted to such a life.

  "I am also the Duke of Stuart anyway. Our group's industry covers all walks of life. The war is undoubtedly a blow to us, but it is also a good opportunity to make a fortune."

  Seleu put down the newspaper and let out a gasp.

"Unlike you, you guys don’t care about anything when they are full. Although I only became a duke not long ago, as a duke, I have to fulfill my responsibilities. The new aristocrats in the Stuart group have Many, let alone more people under the new aristocracy. I have to think about their stomachs and not let them hungry."

   "It sounds like a lot of pressure." Lorenzo said and nodded.

  Indeed, there is still a big difference between one person's life and a group's life.

  "Fortunately, Yawei is mainly responsible for it. I am just studying, learning how to become a duke."

   Seleuc leaned back, sighing helplessly.

   "Ah, it's actually quite difficult to become a so-called big shot."

  "What's so difficult about this? I think many people are eager to be big people like you."

  Lorenzo turned around and continued to beat the delicate dagger. Under his craftsmanship, this thing was out of the scope of weapons, just like expensive crafts.

"How could it happen? Only when you get to this point, you will feel this feeling. It's like this war. No one really likes this kind of thing, unless he is a mentally problematic lunatic, but unfortunately it is this. Everyone doesn’t like this, but due to various strange reasons, war cannot be avoided."

  Seleu shook his head helplessly.

"Just like the next plan of our Stuart family, we will trade with the Viking countries, which is to earn so-called war money. I know this is not a good thing, but many families in the group need these benefits. It’s the Duke of Stuart, but I must consider the interests of the whole."

   "It sounds really bad."

  Listening to Seleu’s complaint, Lorenzo understood her discomfort to some extent, and there were new questions in his heart.

  Lorenzo is looking forward to the meeting with Queen Victoria. In any case, the scene at that time will be very interesting. He wonders if the Queen will give an answer similar to Seleu.

   But compared to these, the thing that made Lorenzo the most jealous was the scene that Lawrence let him see.

  The end of the world.

   Endless demons gush out from the shadows, and one after another magnificent cities fall in front of the darkness. They bite everyone bloodthirstly, devouring all their lives.

  Lawrence formed a blood-secret army for this day to join this doomsday holy war.

  So what should Lorenzo do? He felt that he shouldn't just sit back and watch all this happen, what he should do...start with Inervig.

   "I will go to clean up the organs in two days. According to Arthur, the tracing of the Red News incident is approaching the final step. Maybe I can find something from it, and then I will meet the queen..."

   "What's next?" Seleu asked.

  Lorenzo shook his head. He didn't think about what happened after this.

  "I never thought about that far. For me, let's take a step forward. Sometimes it is not scary to lose a goal. The scary thing is that I know what the goal is, but I don't know how to do it."

  Lorenzo stopped the work at hand and looked at the gap between the curtains in confusion, behind which was the familiar street.

Now that Old Dunling has entered the end of summer, Gallunaro’s actions have allowed him to avoid the hottest season in Old Dunling. He still remembers the situation in this ghost place in previous years. The smell of Xiacheng is almost stinking, Thames The river exudes a disgusting smell.

  In order to adjust the water quality, the Pillar of the Furnace is pouring some strange potions every day, but they have little effect.

  The world is coming to an end. Although Lorenzo is very unwilling to believe it, from Lawrence’s crazy behavior and the prophecies in his memory, this is true and it is destined to come.

Obviously the world is so harmonious and beautiful, even the demons are gradually declining under the rise of mankind, and everything is moving in a good direction, but suddenly some people say that all the good things are just false tall buildings, and they are about to collapse. .

Lorenzo didn’t know why the world ended, and he didn’t know exactly what to do in the face of this disaster. He was different from the extreme madman of Lawrence. He could not cruelly commit such atrocities, even if he was the same as Lawrence. Evil deeds.

  But...but what if you can figure out the mystery of the monster?

  Lorenzo has pinned his hope on this. If he can find the essence of the monster and find out the [truth] of this world, maybe he can find a new solution to save the world and reverse the dark and desperate future.

   "It's done, you try."

  Lorenzo stopped thinking about these complicated things. He picked up the dagger on the workbench, turned around and handed it to Seleu.

  Seleu got off the sofa and took the dagger.

  The traces of Lorenzo’s previous strikes are still on it, like a rough weapon that has just been released, but some simple functions are already done, and he needs to let Seleuth try it out.

   "Well, it's exquisite, it looks good."

   Seleuc fiddled with the dagger. It was engraved with exaggerated patterns, and there were brass and gold inlays in it. It was held in his hand like a blaster.

  "As a craft, it should fit your identity."

  This is a weapon that Seleu commissioned Lorenzo to make for her. Lorenzo added some personal evil tastes to it, and it seems that the effect is not bad.

   "Try it? Remember to hold it tight."

Seleu nodded, held the dagger with his backhand, walked aside, and placed a wooden stake not far from the workbench. The dining table was originally placed here, but since 121A Cork Street only lives in Lorenzo The reason, he can eat anywhere, so he took down the dining table.

  There are several deep scars on the stakes, as if someone tried some weapons on it.

Seleu took a deep breath, just as he did before, and without hesitation, he immediately swung his arm and pierced the dagger into the wooden post. After the sharp dagger pierced the wooden post, Seleu raised his finger and pressed the decorative pattern, just listen. There was a faint metallic sound, and under the ridge of the brass blade, a slender spike protruded further through the wood.

   "Successful this time, it seems that my craftsmanship is not bad."

  Lorenzo drew out the dagger as he spoke. The built-in spike mechanism doubled its damage range. Without the enemy’s knowledge, this blow would be very deadly.

   "Well, it's great, it suits me well."

  Seleu played with this dagger. Except for some of the details, it was a bit rough, the others looked very good.

   "But... Seleu, what do you want this thing for?"

Lorenzo asked suspiciously, this matter has to be talked about from a few days ago. A few days ago, Seleu suddenly came to him with a bunch of materials and rewards, and asked him to make a dagger. It’s better to have some special functions. , Lorenzo had been too lazy to ask her what she wanted this thing to do, until he was done, he didn't think of it.

   "I want to represent the Stuart family to discuss cooperation in the Viking countries. They all said that the place is cold and dangerous. It is always okay to bring some weapons, right."

   Seleuc replied.
